Northeast Indiana Bancorp, Inc. Announces Increase In Noninterest
Income HUNTINGTON, Ind., April 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Northeast Indiana Bancorp, Inc., (NEIB), the parent company of
First Federal Savings Bank, has announced net income of $399,000
($0.28 per diluted common share) for the first quarter ended March
31, 2005 compared to $403,000 ($0.27 per diluted common share) for
the first quarter ended March 31, 2004. Even with net income
relatively unchanged, diluted earnings per common share increased
3.7% to $0.28 for the current quarter due to the Company's
activities under a share repurchase program between periods. The
current three months earnings equates to an annualized return on
average assets (ROA) of 0.70% and a return on average equity (ROE)
of 6.10% as compared to an ROA of 0.73% and an ROE of 5.92% for the
three months ended March 31, 2004. Net interest income was
unchanged at $1.6 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and
March 31, 2004. The Company's net interest margin was little
changed at 2.96% for the current quarter compared to 3.01% for the
year earlier quarter. The Company made a $20,000 provision for loan
loss during the quarter ended March 31, 2005 compared to no
provision for loan loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2004.
Noninterest income significantly increased by $141,000 or 45.3% to
$452,000 for the current period compared to $311,000 during the
year earlier period. This increase was primarily due to increases
of $89,000 in brokerage fees and $62,000 in service charges on
deposit accounts offset by a decrease of $19,000 in gains on the
sale of securities. Brokerage fees increased due to the brokerage
acquisition that took place late in the quarter ended June 30, 2004
and was related to significant product volumes in that area for the
second quarter in a row. Service charges on deposit accounts
increased due to the implementation of a new retail overdraft
program during the quarter ended June 30, 2004. Noninterest expense
increased $139,000 to $1.5 million for the quarter ended March 31,
2005 compared to $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004.
This increase came primarily in salaries and employee benefits due
to more wages for new personnel in the brokerage subsidiary,
increased funding on a defined benefit pension plan, increases in
premium payments under a health insurance program for employees,
and less deferred loan origination fees due to lower mortgage
volumes. Net loans receivable was unchanged at $174.8 million at
both March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. Deposits increased
significantly by $8.8 million or 7.1% to $132.8 million during the
same time frame. Decreases of $2.8 million in time deposits and
MMDA accounts were more than offset by strong growth of $11.6
million in NOW, savings and noninterest bearing accounts during the
current three month period. Most of the growth can be attributed to
a new retail premium checking account promotion launched at the
start of the current year. Borrowed funds declined to $72.0 million
at March 31, 2005 from $77.1 million at December 31, 2004 both from
decreases in repurchase agreement accounts and from decreases in
FHLB borrowings. Shareholders' equity was unchanged at $26.0
million at both March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. The Company
repurchased 18,500 shares on the open market at an average cost of
$21.43, for a total cost of $396,525 during the quarter ended March
31, 2005. In the opinion of management, these repurchases help
leverage Northeast Indiana Bancorp's remaining equity and tend to
improve return on shareholder's equity. The Company has
approximately 37,000 shares that may be repurchased under the
current stock repurchase program, which was previously announced.
The book value of NEIB's stock was $18.34 per common share as of
March 31, 2005. The number of outstanding common shares was
1,417,279. The last reported trade of the stock on April 13, 2005
was $20.85 per common share. Northeast Indiana Bancorp, Inc. is
