Southcoast Announces 2015 First Quarter Results
15 Abril 2015 - 4:15PM
Southcoast Financial Corporation (Nasdaq:SOCB) announced that it
had unaudited net income of $1,978,000, or $.28 per basic share,
for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. This compares to unaudited
net income of $643,000, or $0.09 per basic share, for the quarter
ended March 31, 2014. The March 31, 2015 income per share is based
on 7,099,979 basic average shares outstanding compared to 7,085,818
basic average shares outstanding for 2014. The 2015 results include
continued improvement in asset quality, deposit pricing mix, and
net interest margin.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, net interest income
totaled $4,015,000, an increase of $385,000 from $3,630,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 2014. The net interest margin increased to
3.89% as of March 31, 2015 from 3.81% as of March 31, 2014.
Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2015 increased to
$1,281,000 from $488,000 for the first quarter of 2014, primarily
due to a $750,000 gain on the sale of land.
Noninterest expense was $3,140,000 for the first quarter of 2015
compared to $3,130,000 for the first quarter of 2014.
For the quarter ending March 31, 2015, the Company reduced its
allowance for loan losses by recording a negative loan loss
provision of $900,000. No provision was recorded for the quarter
ending March 31, 2014. This reduction in the allowance was a direct
result of improved asset quality, and was the second consecutive
quarter with a negative provision, as the Company recorded a
negative provision of $600,000 for the quarter ended December 31,
2014. The Company's ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets
was 2.00% as of March 31, 2015, compared to 2.92% as of March 31,
2014. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans
was 1.33% as of March 31, 2015, compared to 1.81% as of March 31,
2014. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total
nonperforming loans totaled 83.32% as of March 31, 2015, compared
to 68.61% as of March 31, 2014. The year to year reduction in
the allowance for loan losses to total loans reflected improved
credit quality in the loan portfolio, most notably due to
significant reductions in delinquent loans and criticized and
classified loans.
Total assets as of March 31, 2015 were $492.3 million compared
to $476.8 million as of December 31, 2014, an increase of 3.25%.
Loans increased 0.96% to $367.6 million, from $364.1 million as of
December 31, 2014. Deposits increased by $23.2 million, or 7.01% to
$354.2 million at March 31, 2015, from $331.0 million at December
31, 2014. This increase was comprised of a $12.3 million increase
in noninterest demand deposits, a $4.7 million increase in
noninterest bearing nontime deposits, and a $6.2 million increase
in time deposits. Growth in core deposits is an important part of
the Company's strategic plan.
The subsidiary bank's capital position as of March 31, 2015
remains in excess of regulatory well-capitalized requirements.
"We are proud of the improvements in our Company's performance
as they reflect the loyalty of our customers and the dedication of
our employees," said L. Wayne Pearson, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer.
