"We continue to be concerned about the impact the economic shutdown and subsequent staged reopening due to the COVID-19 pandemic is having on local economies. Our region has been fortunate to have not yet experienced the widespread health crisis like other areas of the state and country," said Thomas M Carr, President and CEO. Carr continued, "We are focused on continuing to provide credit and financial services needed in the communities we serve, balancing those efforts with prudent safety measures to minimize potential COVID health risks to our customers and staff.”
Net Income
Net income totaled $1,927,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $282,000 or 17% from the $1,645,000 of net income recorded for the same period in 2019. This increase was the net result of an increase in noninterest income of $786,000 and an increase in net interest income of $221,000, offset by an increase in the provision for loan losses of $331,000, an increase in noninterest expense of $216,000, and an increase in tax expense of $178,000.
Net income totaled $909,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $191,000 or 27% from the $718,000 recorded for the same period in 2019. This increase was the net result of an increase in noninterest income of $630,000, an increase in net interest income of $40,000, and a decrease in noninterest expense of $13,000, offset by an increase in the provision for loan losses of $413,000 and an increase in tax expense of $79,000.
The increase in noninterest income for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 is primarily due to increases in the gain on sale of loans, reflecting higher levels of residential mortgages originated for sale to the secondary markets compared to the same periods in 2019.
For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the increases in the provision for loan losses reflect management’s consideration of the uncertainty of ongoing economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and associated economic slowdown.
Basic and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were both $.55 per share compared to $.47 per share for both for the same period in 2019.
