Nashville Lender Produces Consistent Operating Income and Stable Margin

NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today InsCorp (OTCQX: IBTN), reported a second quarter net profit of $1,776,000 or, $0.62 per share, increasing year-to-date profits to $3,826,000, or $1.33 per share. Net interest income for the quarter totaled $6,234,000, increasing an annualized 7.1% over the most recent quarter. Year-to-date net interest income of $12,359,000 represented a 12.8% increase over the same period for the prior year. Pre-tax operating income for the second quarter, excluding a $306,000 mark-to-market adjustment on hedging activities, was $3,026,000, and represented an increase over the first quarter of 2023. At the bank level, net interest margin for the second quarter was 3.38%, consistent with the first quarter measure of 3.37%. Yield on earning assets increased 29 basis points to 6.11%, while cost of funding increased 45 basis points to 3.05%. "Given historical industry measures of funding costs relative to Fed Funds, and the ease with which depositors can open accounts on their smartphones, we assume that the industry drifts toward commoditization of interest-bearing deposits as rates rise and stay at those levels," said Jim Rieniets, President and CEO of INSBANK. "For these reasons we have historically tried to minimize exposure to long-dated assets and focused on highly efficient operations to sustain earnings as long-term trends will see margin compress, regardless of rate cycles," Rieniets continued.

Lending activities continued during the quarter, with outstanding balances rising to $675 million, which represented an 8.7% annualized growth rate. Real estate loans grew $10 million while C&I loan balances increased $4 million. Deposits also increased during the quarter, rising $28 million, or18.0% annualized.  The mix of deposits continued to experience migration, as depositors sought greater yields by moving funds into money market accounts from non-interest-bearing accounts, and into CD's from money market accounts. While average account balances decreased in non-interest-bearing deposits, the number of active transaction accounts grew at an annualized rate of 12%. "It was a good quarter for on-boarding new clients in all account types, and our existing deposit customers are who we thought they were: informed businesses and consumers who will logically seek to increase their earnings on bank accounts when market rates merit the effort," said Rieniets. "By anticipating customer behaviors, we positioned our balance sheet accordingly."             

Measures of asset quality remain very strong for the company and compare very favorably to recent peer group data. Past due loans as of June 30 were 0.03%, while non-performing assets totaled just 0.18%. There were no charge-offs during the quarter, and the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses increased to $9,536,000, or 1.41% of total loans. At quarter-end on-balance sheet liquidity was $86 million, which was consistent with the prior quarter, while the estimated uninsured deposits percentage decreased from 24.8% to 19.4%.

Tangible book value increased $0.64 to $22.99 at June 30, which was after semi-annual dividends of $0.17 per share were paid to shareholders, and 22,500 shares of common stock were repurchased at an average price of $19.55. "While a negative mark-to-market adjustment on a series of laddered rate floors impacted GAAP net income, positive AOCI marks on rates-up hedges were of a higher magnitude and contributed to tangible book value growth greater than our earnings per share. We're pleased to have both tangible book value growth as well as a form of insurance against the potential effects of bi-directional volatility," said Rieniets. "These hedging activities are just one component of enterprise risk management, which we employ so that we can continue to move forward in uncertain times."

  • Loans grew $78.4 million or 13.1% as of June 30, 2023, compared to June 30, 2022.
