JEFFERSONVILLE, N.Y., Aug. 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jeffersonville Bancorp, Inc. (OTCQB - JFBC) announced today second quarter net income of $2,103,000 or $0.51 per share compared to $1,743,000 or $0.41 per share for the same quarter in 2018. The increase in quarterly net income compared to 2018 of $360,000 was primarily attributable to an increase in interest income of $548,000 and an increase in other non-interest income of $95,000, partially offset by an increase in total non-interest expense of $129,000 and an increase in the provision for loan losses of $100,000.

Year to date net income as of June 30, 2019 was $3,762,000 or $0.89 per share compared to $3,305,000 or $0.78 per share for the same period in 2018. The increase in year to date net income compared to 2018 was primarily attributable to an increase in interest income on loans of $838,000 and an increase in total non-interest income of $108,000, partially offset by increases in non-interest expense of $343,000, the provision for loan losses of $200,000, and income tax expense of $129,000 compared to the same period in 2018.

"The Company continues to perform very well this year despite a highly competitive environment for loans and deposits. Net income is up for the quarter by 20% and year to date by 14% compared to the same period last year. We are particularly pleased with these results considering that 2018 was a year of record profits for the Company," said George W. Kinne, Jr., President and CEO.
