FPB FINANCIAL CORP. (OTCQB: FPBF), the Holding Company for Florida Parishes Bank, Announces 2017 Second Quarter Results and Declares Dividends


HAMMOND, LA--(Marketwired - July 25, 2017) - FPB Financial Corp. (OTCQB: FPBF), the holding for Florida Parishes Bank, announced financial results for the 2017 period ended June 30, 2017.

Balance Sheet and Capital

Total Assets increased 9% to $332.6 million at June 30, 2017 when compared to March 31, 2017 and an increase of 32% when compared to June 30, 2016. The increase in total assets was primary due to a 15% increase in net loans for the three month period ending June 30, 2017 and a 27% increase in net loans over the twelve month period. Total liabilities increased 9% and 30% over the respective three and twelve month periods. Deposits were the primary component of these increases with total deposits increasing to $283.7 million at June 30, 2017 or 10% from March 31, 2017 and an increase of 35% when compared to June 30, 2016.

Total Common Stockholders' Equity increased by a net of $13.9 million, or 50% to $42.1 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2017. This was primarily due to the sale of 594,806 shares of common stock in a private placement during the first and second quarters of 2017. The common shares were sold at a per share price of $16.75 producing gross proceeds of $10.0 million. A total of 198,275 warrants shares were authorized in connection with the 2017 private placement sale of common shares, the warrants which are convertible into common shares were authorized at a conversion price of $16.75 per share. The warrant holders have until March 31, 2019 to exercise and convert their warrants into common shares of the company. The net proceeds from this common stock issue will be used to fund business development and growth opportunities primarily in both the New Orleans and Hammond, LA Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA's) through our subsidiary, Florida Parishes Bank and for other general corporate purposes at the Company level.

Capital Surplus increased by $13.2 million to $22.1 million at June 30, 2017 when compared to June 30, 2016. Retained Earnings increased by $1.3 million to $19.6 million for the twelve month period. Other Comprehensive Income decreased by $536,000, or 57% from June 30, 2016 to June 30, 2017. Book value per common share increased to $ 15.84 as total common shares of 2,657,232 were outstanding at June 30, 2017 (this common share total does not include 198,275 of authorized warrants). At the subsidiary bank level, Tier 1 Capital increased to $ 28.7 million at June 30, 2017.

Revenue increased by $455,000, or 12% in the second quarter of 2017 when compared to the 2016 second quarter, net income for the 2017 period declined primarily due to increases of $461,000 in Compensation and Employee benefit expenses, $346,000 in Provisions for Loan Losses and $104,000 in interest expenses. Total non-interest income was unchanged at $855,000 in the 2017 second quarter, when compared to the 2016 period. Net interest margin decreased in the 2017 second quarter to 4.16% from 4.80% in 2016. Revenue increased by $213,000, or 5% for the three month period ending June 30, 2017 as compared to the three month period ending March 31, 2017. Expenses, including Interest, non-Interest and Provisions for Loan Losses increased by $410,000 in the 3 month period ending June 30, 2017 when compared to the March 31, 2017 three month period.

Earnings per share (EPS) decreased primarily due to the decline in net income while EPS was also affected by the Company issuing new common shares in July 2016 and in the first six months of 2017.
