Touchstone Bank Reports Financial Results for the Third Quarter 2019
PRINCE GEORGE, Va., Oct. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Touchstone Bank (the "Bank") (OTC Pink: TSBA) reported net income of $846 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $390 thousand, or 85.5%, when compared to the $456 thousand of net income recorded for the same quarter in 2018. Return on average assets was 0.72% for the third quarter of 2019, an increase of 29 basis points when compared to the 0.43% return on average assets recorded for the third quarter of 2018. Basic and diluted earnings per common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 was $0.25. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net income was $2.2 million and basic and diluted earnings per common share was $0.67 and $0.66, respectively.
"It proved to be a successful quarter as the team continued to execute on enhancing our brand and financial performance. We have a valuable and dedicated team that is becoming culturally stronger and even more focused, which should equate to higher future results. Building a high performing and sustainable business model takes time and quality will not be compromised in the process. We are cautiously optimistic on loan growth as late cycle activity is of concern and unprofitable loan opportunities are being passed on," remarked James Black, President and CEO.
Earnings
Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 was $4.4 million, while net interest income was $4.2 million for the same period in 2018. Net interest income for the second quarter of 2019 was $4.3 million. The net interest margin for the third quarter of 2019 was 4.12% compared to 4.46% for the same period in 2018. The decline in the margin year over year was mainly driven by the increased cost of funds. The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2019 was 4.23%. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $12.9 million compared to $12.4 million for the same period in 2018. The net interest margin declined 15 basis points to 4.22% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 when compared to the 4.37% recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The Bank anticipates a continued slight decline in the net interest margin as competition and Federal Reserve rate cuts drive down earning asset yields more quickly than the cost of funds.
The Bank recorded no provision for loan losses in the third quarter of 2019, while a provision for loan losses of $300 thousand was recorded in the third quarter of 2018. Year to date, the Bank has recorded a recovery of loan losses of $37 thousand, while a provision for loan losses of $700 thousand was recorded for the same period in 2018.
Noninterest income totaled $750 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $170 thousand, or 18.5%, when compared to the same period in 2018. Increases in non-interest income were recognized in almost all categories as service charges on deposits, secondary market origination fees, and income from investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries all increased year over year. However, in the quarter ended September 30, 2018 a one-time payment of $250 thousand from the Bank's core system provider was recorded in other noninterest income. Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $2.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively.
Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $4.1 million and $4.4 million, respectively. Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2019 was $4.1 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, noninterest expense was $12.3 million, an improvement of $592 thousand when compared to the $12.9 million of noninterest expense recorded in the first nine months of 2018. This year-over-year improvement was mainly attributable to the non-recurring core conversion expenses associated with the merger with Citizens Community Bankshares, Inc. incurred in the first quarter of 2018.
