    Source: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 18 Oct 2022 15:05:01   America/Chicago

    MIDDLEFIELD, Ohio, Oct. 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Middlefield Banc Corp. (NASDAQ: MBCN) today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

    2022 Nine Month Financial Highlights (on a year-over-year basis unless noted):

    • Returned $6.6 million of capital to shareholders through dividends and the repurchase of 141,002 shares at an average price of $25.83 per share
    • Net income was $12.2 million, or $2.08 per diluted share, compared to $13.8 million, or $2.19 per diluted share
    • Nine-month pre-tax income benefited from $1.2 million of accelerated net fees associated with the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), compared to $3.1 million in the 2021 nine-month period
    • Year-to-date net income was negatively impacted by $969,000 of one-time expenses associated with the proposed Liberty Bancshares, Inc. merger
    • Net interest margin improved by 24 basis points to 4.02%, compared to 3.78%
    • Total loans were $995.2 million, compared to $981.7 million at December 31, 2021
    • Total loans increased by $46.6 million, or 6.6% annualized from December 31, 2021, without the impact of PPP loan forgiveness
    • Return on average assets was 1.24%, compared to 1.34%
    • Return on average equity was 11.96%, compared to 12.58%
    • Return on average tangible common equity(1) was 13.59%, compared to 14.20%
    • Strong asset quality with nonperforming loans to total loans of 0.37%, compared to 0.67%
    • Allowance for loan losses was 1.46% of total loans, compared to 1.41%
    • Merger with Liberty Bancshares, Inc. on schedule to close during the 2022 fourth quarter

    “2022 is shaping up to be a strong year of core earnings and asset growth. Total loans increased 1.7% from the second quarter and are up 4.0% on a year-over-year basis, without the impact of PPP loan forgiveness. In addition, year-to-date profitability has benefitted from robust asset quality and a higher net interest margin, partially offsetting a $1.9 million year-over-year reduction in PPP fees and nearly $1.0 million of one-time expenses associated with the proposed Liberty Bancshares, Inc. merger,” stated James R. Heslop, II, President and Chief Executive Officer.

    “As we navigate a rising rate and more fluid economic environment, we are focused on supporting the financial needs of our Ohio communities, maintaining strong asset quality, and completing the merger with Liberty Bancshares, Inc. The merger is on track to close during the 2022 fourth quarter and we expect to benefit as a larger bank with total assets of approximately $1.80 billion, strong earnings accretion, and a robust footprint in two of Ohio’s largest and fastest-growing markets,” concluded Mr. Heslop.

    Income Statement

    Net interest income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, was $36.1 million, compared to $36.2 million for the same period last year.  Year-to-date, the net interest margin was 4.02%, compared to 3.78% for the same period last year.  Net interest income for the 2022 third quarter was $12.6 million, compared to $12.5 million for the 2021 third quarter.  The 1.1% increase in net interest income for the 2022 third quarter from the same period in 2021, was largely a result of higher interest income and lower interest expense.  The net interest margin for the 2022 third quarter was 4.23%, compared to 3.90% for the same period of 2021. 

    For the 2022 nine-month period, noninterest income was $4.3 million, compared to $5.7 million for the same period last year. Noninterest income for the 2022 third quarter was $1.5 million, compared to $1.8 million for the same period last year.

    For the 2022 nine-month period, noninterest expense increased 6.5% to $25.7 million, compared to $24.1 million for the same period last year. Operating costs in the 2022 third quarter increased 12.4% to $8.9 million from $7.9 million for the 2021 third quarter. The Company incurred $390,000 during the 2022 third quarter and $969,000 during the 2022 nine-month period of additional operating expenses associated with the proposed Liberty Bancshares, Inc. merger.

    Net income for the 2022 nine-month period, was $12.2 million, or $2.08 per diluted share, compared to $13.8 million, or $2.19 per diluted share for the same period last year. Net income for the 2022 third quarter, was $4.2 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, compared to $5.2 million, or $0.85 per diluted share for the same period last year.

    Balance Sheet

    Total assets at September 30, 2022, decreased slightly to approximately $1.35 billion from $1.37 billion at September 30, 2021. Net loans at September 30, 2022, decreased 1.5% to $980.7 million, compared to $996.0 million at September 30, 2021. Since 2020, Middlefield has helped customers receive $211.6 million of forgiveness payments under the terms of the Paycheck Protection Program, including processing $0.4 million of forgiveness payments during the third quarter of 2022, and $33.1 million of forgiveness payments year-to-date. The balance of PPP loans outstanding at September 30, 2022, was $1.0 million.

    Total deposits at September 30, 2022, were $1.13 billion, compared to $1.20 billion at September 30, 2021. The 5.8% decrease in deposits was primarily due to declines in interest-bearing, time-based, money market and savings accounts, partially offset by increased noninterest-bearing accounts. The investment portfolio was $162.1 million at September 30, 2022, compared with $163.1 million at September 30, 2021.

    Donald L. Stacy, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “The growth we have experienced in our net interest margin throughout 2022 is encouraging, driven by an 18-basis point increase in our yield on earning assets, and a 6-basis point improvement in our cost of funds. As competition for deposits increases, we expect our cost of funds to increase in future periods. Asset quality remains strong across our portfolio, with only $3.7 million of nonperforming loans at September 30, 2022, which is a 45.8% reduction from September 30, 2021, and represents just 0.37% of total loans at the end of the 2022 third quarter. With a higher degree of economic uncertainty, we have maintained a robust allowance for loan losses, which was 1.46% of total loans at September 30, 2022. We believe our strong balance sheet and favorable capital position will allow us to navigate a more challenging economic cycle, while simultaneously allocating capital to support our long-term growth strategies, dividend payment, and share repurchase program.”

    Mr. Stacy continued, “Year-to-date, we have repurchased 141,002 shares of our common stock at a total cost of $3.6 million. This includes 45,638 shares repurchased during the 2022 third quarter at an average price of $26.74 per share at September 30, 2022. We have 246,549 shares remaining under our repurchase program.”

    Stockholders’ Equity and Dividends
    At September 30, 2022, stockholders’ equity was $122.9 million compared to $146.1 million at September 30, 2021. The 15.9% year-over-year decline in stockholders’ equity was primarily due to an increase in the unrealized loss on the available-for-sale investment portfolio as well as the Company’s stock repurchase program. On a per-share basis, shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2022, was $21.30 compared to $24.13 at September 30, 2021.

    At September 30, 2022, tangible stockholders’ equity(1) was $106.6 million, compared to $129.5 million at September 30, 2021. On a per-share basis, tangible stockholders’ equity(1) was $18.48 at September 30, 2022, compared to $21.39 at September 30, 2021.

    Through the 2022 nine-month period, the Company declared cash dividends of $0.51 per share, compared to $0.48 per share for the same period last year.

    At September 30, 2022, the Company had an equity-to-assets ratio of 9.09%, compared to 10.69% at September 30, 2021.

    Asset Quality

    No provision for loan losses was recorded for both the 2022 and 2021 third quarters. There was no provision for loan losses for the 2022 nine-month period versus $900,000 for the same period last year.

    Net charge-offs were $18,000, or 0.01% of average loans, annualized, during the 2022 third quarter, compared to net recoveries of $34,000, or 0.01% of average loans, annualized, at September 30, 2021. Year-to-date net recoveries were $190,000, or 0.02% of average loans, annualized, compared to net charge-offs of $125,000, or 0.02% of average loans, annualized for the nine-months ended September 30, 2021.

Nonperforming assets at September 30, 2022, were $10.5 million, compared to $13.9 million at September 30, 2021. The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2022, stood at $14.5 million, or 1.46% of total loans, compared to $14.2 million, or 1.41% of total loans at September 30, 2021.
