CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc. Announces 2016 First Quarter Results


WAUKESHA, WI--(Marketwired - April 11, 2016) - CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company" or "CIBM") (OTCQB: CIBH), the holding company of CIBM Bank (the "Bank"), today announces its results of operations and financial condition for the first quarter of 2016. Net income for the first quarter was $952,000 or $0.05 per share. This compares to a loss of $795,000 or $0.04 per share for the fourth quarter of 2015 and net income of $26,000 or $0.00 per share for the first quarter of 2015.

Select highlights for the quarter include:

  • Return on average assets for the first quarter of 2016 is 0.66%, compared to -0.57% for the fourth quarter of 2015 and 0.02% for the first quarter of 2015.
  • Net income for subsidiary CIBM Bank was $662,000 -- reflecting solid improvements in net interest income and non-interest income due to the growth in loans and a growing mortgage division.
  • Total loans are up to $470.4 million at quarter end, representing a 5.7% increase from year-end 2015 and 21.7% increase from the first quarter of 2015.
  • Net interest income of $4.4 million for the quarter is an increase of $0.2 million from the fourth quarter of 2015 and $0.6 million from the first quarter of 2015.
  • Non-interest income of $2.1 million for the quarter is an increase of $1.5 million from the fourth quarter of 2015 and $0.7 million from the first quarter of 2015; reflecting a doubling of the mortgage lender force, seasonal factors, and $430,000 for the quarter in net gains from sale of OREO assets net of other write-downs.
  • Non-performing assets to total assets at quarter end was 1.96%, compared to 2.25% from year-end 2015 and 2.95% from the first quarter of 2015.
  • Net charge-offs to average loans for the quarter was -0.10% net recovery, compared to 0.03% net charge-off for the fourth quarter of 2015 and 0.06% net charge-off for the first quarter of 2015.
  • The first quarter results do not yet reflect the $1.1 million per annum cost savings announced in the February 4, 2016 Shareholder Letter, the effects of which will be more directly seen in the second half of the year.

"CIB Marine's performance for the quarter was very strong and reflects achievements in our core banking fronts, consistent with our strategy for growing the Company," said Mr. J. Brian Chaffin, President and Chief Executive Officer of CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc. "Quarterly earnings were up nicely as we continue to focus on revenue and profit goals. Performance was solid across the commercial and mortgage sales platforms with retail providing substantial new deposits to fund new asset growth."

Mr. Chaffin added, "At the same time, our operational areas of the bank were very active assimilating the new mortgage loan officers added at the end of last year, developing our SBA related business activities, and implementing the cost reduction strategy we announced previously that will provide a cost savings of $1.1 million per annum when fully implemented later in the year. As we look forward, there is no let-up on our part in growing our client relationship-based banking businesses along our corporate, mortgage and retail lines. We continue to pursue substantial targets across all business lines to deliver results for our shareholders and clients, but we are pleased with this quarter's performance as an indicator of the type of core banking results we plan on delivering. Loan pipelines continue to be developed, local market development for mortgages is ongoing, and we have hired dedicated SBA lending staff." 

Mr. Chaffin concluded, "We did get a boost from net gains on sales of assets net of write-downs of about $430,000 as a result of certain collection-related and other activities. Net of those gains, net income was $522,000 for the quarter reflecting both a higher amount and a better quality of earnings, which are the direct result of the strategic accomplishments of the Company and the progress it has made in growing its business."
