HUNTINGTON, Ind., Oct. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Northeast Indiana Bancorp, Inc., (OTCQB: NIDB), the parent company of First Federal Savings Bank, today announced net income of $1.0 million ($0.43 per diluted common share) for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to net income of $1.2 million ($0.51 per diluted common share) for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023. The current quarter earnings equate to an annualized return on average assets (ROA) of 0.79% and an annualized return on average equity (ROE) of 8.46% compared to an annualized ROA of 1.02% and an annualized ROE of 11.16% for the third quarter ending September 30, 2023.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $3.3 million, or $1.39 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $3.5 million, or $1.46 per diluted common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The current nine months earnings equate to an annualized ROA of 0.87% and an annualized ROE of 9.49% compared to an annualized ROA of 1.01% and an annualized ROE of 10.72% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

For both the current quarter and nine months ended in 2024 as compared to the same periods in 2023, additional provision for credit loss expense contributed to the decrease of net income and was the result of increasing specific reserves on existing loans. An increase in other income during both periods in 2024 as compared to the same periods in 2023 helped to offset the increased expense.

Total assets increased $21.2 million, or 5.7% on an annualized basis, to $519.9 million at September 30, 2024 compared to total assets of $498.7 million at December 31, 2023. Total loans increased $13.6 million, or 4.9% on an annualized basis, to $384.3 million at September 30, 2024 compared to total loans of $370.7 million at December 31, 2023. Total deposits increased $18.7 million, or 6.2% on an annualized basis, to $419.8 million at September 30, 2024 compared to $401.1 million at December 31, 2023.

Shareholders' equity increased $2.8 million to $49.2 million at September 30, 2024 compared to $46.4 million at December 31, 2023. The book value of NIDB stock increased $0.93 to $20.46 per common share as of September 30, 2024, compared to $19.53 the previous quarter end. The number of outstanding common shares was 2,403,696 as of September 30, 2024.
