BROOKFIELD, Wis., July 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company” or “CIB Marine”) (OTCQX: CIBH), the holding company of CIBM Bank (the “Bank”), announced its unaudited results of operations and financial condition for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024. During the quarter, net interest income increased $0.2 million from the prior quarter, the Mortgage Division earned $0.2 million, and CIBM Bank completed a sale-leaseback transaction with a gross purchase price of $6.6 million and a net gain on sale of $4.5 million.
Net income for the quarter was $3.8 million, or $2.79 basic and $2.06 diluted earnings per share, compared to $1.2 million, or $0.88 basic and $0.64 diluted earnings per share, for the same period of 2023. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was $4.0 million, or $2.94 basic and $2.17 diluted earnings per share, compared to $1.4 million, or $1.06 basic and $0.77 diluted earnings per share, for the same period of 2023. Excluding the effects of the non-recurring sale-leaseback transaction gain on sale, net income was $0.5 million, or $0.34 basic and $0.25 diluted earnings per share, for the quarter and $0.6 million, or $0.8 basic and $0.35 diluted earnings per share, for the six-month period.
Financial highlights for the quarter include:
The Bank completed a sale-leaseback transaction with a gross purchase price of $6.6 million for the office real estate used by CIBM Bank’s Bloomington, Champaign, and Urbana, Illinois, branches. The transaction resulted in a net gain on sale of $4.5 million and $3.3 million net of tax. The sale of the real estate to a third party will not impact banking services, which will continue at each branch under a 15-year lease.
Compared to the prior quarter, net interest income was up $0.2 million and net interest margin was up 9 basis points as the 12 basis point increase in average yields on earning assets outpaced a subdued 3 basis point increase in the cost of funds. Net interest income was down $0.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, and down $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same periods of 2023, due to the rise in cost of funds versus yields on assets over those time periods.
Loan portfolio balances decreased $17 million over the quarter and decreased $3 million since December 31, 2023, due to higher loan rates and the Company’s balance sheet management strategy, with further balance declines likely in the future. Deposits decreased $3 million for the quarter and increased $42 million from December 31, 2023, as lower-cost fundings were used to reduce higher-cost brokered deposits and short-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (“FHLB”). Cost of funds pressures were diminished for the quarter as FHLB borrowings were reduced to zero and the Bank’s liquidity profile continued to improve as the loan to deposit ratio declined from 98% at December 31, 2023, to 92% at June 30, 2024.
As of June 30, 2024, non-performing assets, modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing to total assets and nonaccrual loans to total loans ratios were 1.14% and 0.47%, respectively, compared to 0.90% and 0.50%, respectively, on December 31, 2023, and 0.13% and 0.02%, respectively, on June 30, 2023. The primary reason for the increase in the ratios over the time period is due to four credit relationships with borrowers in the transportation industry, including two added during the second quarter of 2024.
Also, as of June 30, 2024, the allowance for credit losses on loans (“ACLL”) to loans was 1.26% compared to an allowance for loan and lease losses of 1.27% on December 31, 2023, and 1.39% on June 30, 2023. The ACLL depends on third-party economic forecasts and qualitative factors. Over the course of 2023 and the second quarter of 2024, those forecasts for gross domestic product and unemployment have generally improved while certain qualitative factors related to loan performance have trended up, resulting in a lower ACLL to loans ratio.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, Banking Division net income was $4.6 million, up from $2.3 million in the same period in 2023. Mortgage Division net loss was $0.2 million, improved from a $0.5 million loss in the same period in 2023 due to cost saving actions and despite production being down due to housing market challenges.
Mr. J. Brian Chaffin, CIB Marine’s President and CEO, commented, “Operating results from our Banking and Mortgage Divisions have improved from quarter to quarter as highlighted above, although it continues to be a challenging environment for both areas. Attentive management of our cost of funds and liability structure has led to improved net interest margins from the prior quarter and we are working toward continued improvement. Our targeted expense controls set in motion in late 2023 and early 2024 have supported improved operating results.”
He concluded, “We are pleased to report on the outcome of our sale-leaseback transaction. Along with balance sheet management and improving operating results, this is an important step forward in meeting our goal of redeeming the preferred stock.”
