Kevin J. Helmick, President and CEO, stated, “As a result of 9% loan growth over the past twelve months, 11% increase in noninterest income, careful management of our noninterest expenses and continued strong asset quality, we are pleased to report a 6% increase in net income compared to the same quarter one year ago. We are also pleased to report a 29% increase in cash dividends paid to our shareholders, from $0.07 per share paid in the second quarter of 2018 to $0.09 paid for the same quarter in 2019.”

2019 Second Quarter Financial Highlights

  • Loan growth
    Total loans were $1.78 billion at June 30, 2019, compared to $1.64 billion at June 30, 2018, representing an increase of 8.6%. The increase in loans is a direct result of Farmers’ focus on loan growth utilizing talented lending and credit team, while adhering to a sound underwriting discipline. The increase in loans has occurred in the commercial, commercial real estate, residential real estate and agricultural loan portfolios. Loans now comprise 79.6% of the Bank's average earning assets for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, an improvement compared to 78.6% for the same period in 2018. This improvement, along with the growth in earning assets, has resulted in a 14.2% increase in tax equated loan income in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same quarter in 2018.
  • Loan quality
    Non-performing assets to total assets remain at a low level, currently at 0.30%. Early stage delinquencies also continue to remain at low levels, at $10.2 million, or 0.57% of total loans, at June 30, 2019. Net charge-offs for the current quarter were $305 thousand, compared to $536 thousand in the same quarter in 2018 and total net charge-offs as a percentage of average net loans outstanding is only 0.07% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.
  • Net interest margin
    The net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was 3.84%, a 9 basis points decrease from the quarter ended June 30, 2018, but a 3 basis points increase from the linked quarter. In comparing the second quarter of 2019 to the same period in 2018, asset yields increased 25 basis points, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 47 basis points. Most of this increase was the result of higher rates paid on interest-bearing checking accounts and time deposits, consistent with increases in the federal funds sold rate. The net interest margin is impacted by the additional accretion as a result of the discounted loan portfolios acquired in the previous mergers, which increased the net interest margin by 5 basis points for the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.
  • Noninterest income
    Noninterest income increased 10.9% to $7.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to $6.3 million in the same quarter in 2018. Gains on the sales of mortgage loans increased $449 thousand or 74%, other operating income increased $66 thousand or 18%, trust fees increased $81 thousand or 5% and service charges on deposit accounts increased $108 thousand or 11% in comparing the second quarter of 2019 to the same quarter in 2018. These increases were offset by a decrease of securities gains of $45 thousand or 166.7% and retirement plan consulting fees of $15 thousand or 3.2%.
  • Noninterest expenses
    Farmers has remained committed to managing the level of noninterest expenses. Total noninterest expenses for the second quarter of 2019 increased 8.1% to $16.7 million compared to $15.5 million in the same quarter in 2018, primarily as a result of an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $438 thousand, offset by a $140 thousand decrease in FDIC insurance expense. Included in other operating expenses in the second quarter of 2019 were $505 thousand in expenses that management does not expect to occur in future quarters. Annualized noninterest expenses measured as a percentage of quarterly average assets rose slightly from 2.82% in the second quarter of 2018 to 2.83% in the second quarter of 2019.
  • Efficiency ratio
    The efficiency ratio for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 increased slightly to 58.28% compared to 57.31% for the same quarter in 2018. The improvement in net interest income and noninterest income in the second quarter of 2019 was offset by a higher level of noninterest expenses as explained in the preceding paragraphs.

2019 Outlook

Mr. Helmick added, “We continue to build on the momentum gained in the first quarter with another three months of pleasing performance. We are extremely proud of our committed employees that continue to deliver strong results for our stakeholders and remain committed to our community banking approach and culture.”
