Ohio Valley Banc Corp. Reports 1st Quarter Earnings

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio, April 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Ohio Valley Banc Corp. (Nasdaq: OVBC) (the "Company") reported consolidated net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, of $2,832,000, a decrease of $792,000 from the same period the prior year.  Earnings per share for the first quarter of 2016 were $.69, compared to $.88 earned the first quarter of 2015.  Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.29 percent and 12.50 percent, respectively, for the first quarter of 2016, versus 1.67 percent and 16.94 percent, respectively, for the same period the prior year.

"The 21.9 percent decline in net income was generally due to higher provision for loan losses, lower tax refund processing fees and merger related expenses," stated Thomas E. Wiseman, President and CEO.  "It's always a challenge following a record breaking year, but our bankers continue to position the company to take full advantage of the opportunities before us.  The proposed merger with The Milton Banking Company and the opening of the OVB Athens Loan Office are just two examples of opportunities we hope to capitalize on in 2016 and beyond.  The business of community banking isn't getting any easier, but our team is committed to pursuing our 'Community First' mission."

For the first quarter of 2016, net interest income increased $170,000, or 1.9 percent, from the same period last year.  With the Federal Reserve increasing short-term interest rates in December 2015 by 25 basis points, the interest earned on the heightened liquidity maintained during the first quarter in relation to seasonal tax refund processing contributed an additional $97,000 to interest income.  Furthermore, the higher rate on balances maintained at the Federal Reserve contributed to an increase in the net interest margin.  For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the net interest margin was 4.50 percent compared to 4.45 percent for the same period the prior year.  For the first quarter of 2016, average earning assets decreased $1.7 million from the same period last year.  Comparing the first quarter of 2016 to the first quarter of 2015, average loan balances decreased $11.5 million, which was largely offset by growth in average investments and Federal Reserve balances.  The decrease in average loan balances was primarily related to a decrease in average participation loans of $12.8 million, due to an increase in payoffs.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, provision for loan loss expense totaled $479,000, as compared to negative provision of $78,000 for the same period last year.  The increase in provision expense was partly due to an increase in net charge-offs.  For the three months ended March 31, 2016, net charge-offs totaled $181,000, an increase of $245,000 from the net recoveries of $64,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015.  Also contributing to additional provision expense during the first quarter of 2016 was the increase in specific allocations on impaired loans of $87,000.  Furthermore, the general reserve for loan losses increased due to certain economic risk factors, such as the balance of classified loans, which was partially offset by the improvement in lower historical loan loss factors.  The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans at March 31, 2016 was 1.24 percent compared to 1.24 percent at December 31, 2015 and 1.60 percent at March 31, 2015.  Based on the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management believes that the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2016 was adequate and reflects probable incurred losses in the portfolio.  The allowance for loan losses was 1.19 percent of total loans at March 31, 2016, compared to 1.13 percent at December 31, 2015 and 1.40 percent at March 31, 2015.

For the first quarter of 2016, noninterest income totaled $3,235,000, a decrease of $254,000, or 7.3 percent, from the first quarter of 2015.  For the three months ended March 31, 2016, tax refund processing fees totaled $1,754,000, a decrease of $341,000 from the same period the prior year.  The decrease was related to the lower per item fee received by the Company as defined in the contract with the third-party tax refund product provider.  For the first quarter of 2016, all other noninterest income sources increased $87,000 in the aggregate from the same period last year, led by service charges on deposit accounts and interchange fees earned on debit and credit card transactions.

Noninterest expense totaled $7,969,000 for the first quarter of 2016, an increase of $542,000, or 7.3 percent, from the same period last year.  The Company's largest noninterest expense, salaries and employee benefits, increased $170,000 from the first quarter of 2015.  The increase was primarily related to annual merit increases and higher health insurance expense.  Also contributing to higher noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2016 were expenses related to the announced merger with Milton Bancorp.  During the first quarter, the Company incurred $227,000 in merger related expenses.  The remaining noninterest expenses were limited to an increase of $145,000.

Ohio Valley Banc Corp. common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol OVBC.  The holding company owns Ohio Valley Bank, with 14 offices in Ohio and West Virginia, and Loan Central, with seven consumer finance offices in Ohio.  Learn more about Ohio Valley Banc Corp. at www.ovbc.com.
