      • Stock repurchases of 59,742 shares occurred in the third quarter of 2019 and stock repurchases of 136,471 shares occurred in the first nine months of 2019. 

      "We are pleased with our record earnings and earnings momentum," said David W. Heeter, President and CEO.

      Balance Sheet

      Assets increased $24.2 million as of September 30, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 primarily due to increases in mortgage loans held for sale and investment securities.  Mortgage loans held for sale increased $15.7 million compared to December 31, 2018 due to strong mortgage production as originations have increased in 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.   Investment securities increased $12.1 million from December 31, 2018 to September 30, 2019 primarily due to a decline in market interest rates, which increases the market value of the securities.  The gross loan portfolio increased by $1.1 million from December 31, 2018 to September 30, 2019 primarily due to increases in commercial loans by $28.5 million, or 5.5% annualized, and non-residential consumer loans by $15.2 million, or 7.6% annualized. These increases were partially offset by a decline from December 31, 2018 to September 30, 2019 in residential mortgage loans of $42.7 million primarily as a result of a sale of $27 million of mortgages in the third quarter of 2019.  The loan mix is 48.1% commercial loans, 33.0% residential loans and 18.9% non-residential consumer loans as of September 30, 2018 compared to 46.0%, 36.2% and 17.8%, respectively, as of December 31, 2018.

      Deposits increased by $53.9 million in the first nine months of 2019 due to an increase of $36.5 million in core deposits and $17.4 million in certificates of deposit.  As of September 30, 2019, core deposits totaled $1.1 billion, or 67.9% of total deposits and certificates of deposit totaled $506 million, or 32.1% of total deposits.  The percentage mix of core deposits was unchanged from December 31, 2018. 

      Allowance for loan losses increased to $13.4 million as of September 30, 2019 compared to $13.3 million as of December 31, 2018.  The allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans as of September 30, 2019 was 230% compared to 146% as of December 31, 2018.  The allowance for loan losses to total loans as of September 30, 2019 was 0.90% compared to 0.89% as of December 31, 2018.  Non-performing loans to total loans at September 30, 2019 were 0.39% compared to 0.61% at December 31, 2018.  Non-performing assets to total assets were 0.38% at September 30, 2019 compared to 0.54% at December 31, 2018.

      Stockholders' equity was $222.0 million at September 30, 2019, an increase of $19.6 million from December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to net income available to common shareholders of $17.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of $11.6 million.  These increases were partially offset by common stock dividends of $5.1 million and stock repurchases of 136,471 shares at a cost of $4.3 million for the first nine months of 2019.  The Company's tangible book value per common share as of September 30, 2019 was $23.15 compared to $20.51 as of December 31, 2018 and the tangible common equity ratio increased to 9.60% as of September 30, 2019 compared to 8.72% as of December 31, 2018.  MFSF's and the Bank's risk-based capital ratios remained in excess of "well-capitalized" levels as defined by all regulatory standards as of September 30, 2019.

      Income Statement

      Net interest income before the provision for loan losses decreased $172,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.  The decrease in net interest income was primarily a result of a decrease of twelve basis points in net interest margin from 3.50% in the third quarter of 2018 compared to 3.38% in the third quarter of 2019.  Net interest margin decreased primarily due to an increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities of twenty-three basis points compared to an increase in yield on interest-earning assets of five basis points. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $45.1 million in average interest-earning assets, due primarily to organic loan growth.  Net interest margin was also aided in the quarter by approximately six basis points of purchase accounting adjustments in both the third quarter of 2019 and 2018.   On a linked quarter basis, net interest income increased by $201,000 primarily due to an increase in net interest margin of five basis points.

      Net interest income before the provision for loan losses increased $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.  The increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase of $133 million in average interest-earning assets. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of twelve basis points in net interest margin from 3.47% for the first nine months of 2018 compared to 3.35% in the same period of 2019.  Net interest margin decreased primarily due to an increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities of thirty-two basis points compared to an increase in yield on interest-earning assets of thirteen basis points.  Net interest margin was aided by purchase accounting adjustments of eight basis points for the nine months ended 2018 compared to five basis points for the same period in 2019.

      Provision for loan losses in the third quarter of 2019 was $425,000 compared to $570,000 during last year's comparable period.  The decrease was due to management's ongoing evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.  Net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2019 were $449,000, or 0.12% of average total loans on an annualized basis, compared to $290,000, or 0.08% of average total loans on an annualized basis in the third quarter of 2018.   On a linked quarter basis, provision for loan losses decreased $50,000.

      The provision for loan losses for the first nine months of 2019 was $1.4 million compared to $1.5 million during last year's comparable period.  Net charge-offs for the first nine months of 2019 equaled $1.2 million, or 0.11% of loans on an annualized basis, compared to $898,000, or 0.09% in the same period of 2018.

      Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2019 was $5.8 million, an increase of $810,000 compared to the third quarter of 2018.  This increase was primarily a result of an increase of $926,000 in gain on sale of mortgage loans due to a $26.4 million, or 75.8% increase in sold mortgage loans in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $297,000 in net gain on sale of investments.  On a linked quarter basis, non-interest income increased $145,000 primarily due to an increase of $438,000 in net gain on sale of loans partially offset by a decline of $313,000 in net gain on sale of investments.

      Non-interest income for the first nine months of 2019 was $16.6 million, an increase of $2.4 million compared to the first nine months of 2018.  An increase of $1.9 million in gain on sale of mortgage loans, an increase of $382,000 in service fee income, and an increase of $310,000 in gain on sale of securities were partially offset by a decrease of $162,000 in other income primarily due to a death benefit received in the first nine months of 2018 not repeated in the first nine months of 2019.

      Non-interest expense decreased $91,000 when comparing the third quarter of 2019 with the same period in 2018.  Non-interest expense declined partially due to $238,000 of merger-related expenses in the third quarter of 2018 not repeated in the same period of 2019, a reduction of $212,000 in FDIC insurance premiums due to Small Bank Assessment Credits received as a result of the FDIC's Reserve Ratio exceeding 1.38% and a decline of $129,000 in core deposit intangible amortization.  These decreases were primarily offset by an increase of $674,000 in salaries and benefits due to increased commission expense for mortgage originators and health insurance expenses.  On a linked-quarter basis, non-interest expense decreased $161,000 due to a decrease in FDIC insurance premiums of $212,000 and various other declines, partially offset by an increase of $285,000 in salaries and benefits as described above.     

      Non-interest expense decreased $29,000 when comparing the first nine months of 2019 with the same period in 2018.  Non-interest expense was impacted by general expense increases due to timing of the Universal Bancorp acquisition in 2018 primarily offset by one-time acquisition-related expenses of $2.2 million in the first nine months of 2018 with no similar activity in the same period of 2019. 

      The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2019 was 14.6% compared to 14.4% in the same quarter of 2018. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2019 was 14.0% compared to 13.3% for the same period in 2018. The primary reason for the increase is due to greater taxable income as a percentage of total income.

      Mr. Heeter concluded, "This quarter continued an improvement in earnings with increased non-interest income and controlled non-interest expense.  We believe our earnings momentum can continue as we strive to efficiently drive shareholder value."
