Kish Bancorp : 2018 Fourth Quarter Financial Statement

To Our Shareholders

I am pleased to report unaudited financial results for Kish Bancorp, Inc., parent company of Kish Bank and related affiliates, for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2018. Highlights for 2018 include sustained growth in new business, especially as it is reflected in increased loans and deposits, the expansion of new and existing sources of non-bank revenues, lower corporate tax rates, and a record increase in net income.

BALANCE SHEET

The Corporation's total assets ended the period at $851 million, an increase of $39.3 million, or 4.85%, compared to total assets of $811 million as of December 31, 2017. Asset growth continued to be driven by strong growth in lending activities, with loans rising year-over-year by $62.4 million to $637 million, or 10.85%, partially offset by a decrease in investment securities of $10.9 million, or 7.77%. Total deposits grew by $28.7 million to $682 million, an increase of 4.38% from $654 million a year ago. An increase in borrowings to $101 million, compared to $95 million as of December 31, 2017, helped to fund strong loan growth.

NET INCOME

Net income for 2018 was $6.03 million, an increase of $1.89 million, or 45.63%, compared to $4.14 million in 2017. When the 2017 accounting charges associated with the passage of the tax law are eliminated, net income for 2018 increased by $1.47 million, or 32.30%, from $4.56 million in 2017. The increase includes the benefits of lower corporate tax rates, strong expansion in both net interest and noninterest income, well controlled expenses, and very positive credit quality. These categories of higher revenue reflected expanded business levels for the Bank and its affiliates and the addition of a benefits management consulting practice.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Continued growth in loans and core deposits supported the expansion of net interest income to $25.8 million as of December 31, 2018, an increase of $2.66 million, or 11.50%, compared to $23.10 million as of December 31, 2017. Contributions to the loan loss reserve equaled $1.02 million in 2018, supporting the growth in loans, compared to $600 thousand in 2017.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income was $7.44 million for the year ending December 31, 2018, an increase of $914 thousand, or 14.01%,from $6.53 million over the same period in 2017. The increase in noninterest income came from fees derived from lending activities, higher insurance agency and wealth management revenue, and the addition of income from the new employee benefits consulting practice.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Year over year, noninterest expense increased by $1.63 million, or 6.81%, to $25.51 million as of December 31, 2018, compared to $23.88 million the prior year. In part, the increase reflects higher employee compensation expenses and data processing costs supporting new business levels. Other factors contributing to higher expenses were increased FDIC assessment costs based on rising deposits, higher occupancy costs, and costs related to investments in low income housing projects. All expense categories continued to be well controlled when compared to the prior year.

DIVIDEND

6,110 6,149

The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend in the amount of $0.25 per share, payable January 31, 2019, to shareholders of record as of January 15, 2019. Also during the fourth quarter of 2018, and as previously announced, on October 9, Kish Bancorp affected a two-for-one stock split and announced a post-split increase in the quarterly dividend to $0.25 from $0.23 the previous quarter. On October 23, the up-listing of Kish Bancorp (KISB) shares from OTC pink sheets to OTCQX U.S. Premier platform was announced. This up-listing will provide greater access to information by prospective investors and enhanced liquidity and trading efficiency to buyers and sellers of KISB shares.
