InsCorp Reports Q2 Profits Driven by Loan Growth

Nashville-Based Lender Adds Local Bank Investor to its Board of Directors

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today InsCorp, parent company to INSBANK (OTCQX:IBTN), reported a second quarter net profit of $2,247,000 or, $0.78 per share, representing a 64.1% increase over the second quarter of 2021. Year-to-date earnings are $5,451,000, or $1.90 per share. Net interest income for the quarter was $5,883,000, which was a 20.5% increase over the prior year same quarter, and a 15.9% increase over the first quarter of 2022. Loan growth of $45 million for the quarter contributed to the expansion of both net interest margin and operating income. Operating income, excluding non-recurring items and one-time gains, was $2,837,000, as compared to $2,097,000 during the first quarter of the year. "Our team developed a robust loan pipeline in the early part of the year, and the second quarter saw those efforts come to fruition", said Jim Rieniets, President & CEO of INSBANK. "Loan demand has been well-balanced between both local businesses and healthcare borrowers nationwide thru our Medquity division," Rieniets continued.

Interest-bearing deposit balances decreased modestly during the quarter, while transaction account balances increased. The cost of interest-bearing funding was 0.71%, increasing from 0.69% the prior quarter. The slight increase in funding cost came at a time when the Fed had increased overnight rates by 100 basis points. Quarterly operating expenses of $3,159,000 equated to 1.73% of assets, and contributed to an efficiency ratio of 42.6%, which compares favorably to the bank's historical peer group average. Asset quality measures remained strong with non-performing assets of 0.40% and past due loans totaling 0.03%. "It goes without saying that we're navigating uncertainty in this economy, with an unprecedented combination of inflationary pressures, on-going supply chain disruption; and perils of a geo-political crisis in Europe," said Jim Rieniets. "Historically INSBANK has held a steady hand in extending credit, and plans to be a consistent partner to our customers as we head into uncharted waters."
