Fentura Financial, Inc Announces First Quarter 2014 Results
23 April 2014 - 3:18PM
- Operating results represent the 8th straight quarter of
profitability for the Company
- Book value increased 48.1% to $10.25 per share over prior
year
- Loan growth exceeded expectations for the quarter
- Operating results continue to strengthen capital, and our
Bank's capital level is considered well capitalized by industry
standards
- Credit quality continues to improve, as loan delinquencies
remain low and substandard assets improved significantly over the
prior year.
Fentura Financial, Inc. (OTCBB:FETM) reported net income for the
three months ended March 31, 2014 of $558,000 compared to $5.9
million for the fourth quarter of 2013. Pre-tax net income for the
period was $846,000, compared to the $818,000 reported for the
prior quarter.
Ronald L. Justice, President and CEO said, "I am pleased with
the Company's quarterly performance. We continue to identify
opportunities to grow our business and to produce solid operating
results."
Balance Sheet
Total assets increased $11.5 million or 3.4% at March 31, 2014
compared to December 31, 2013, ending the quarter at $346.7
million. Cash and due from banks increased 24.8%, to $16.1 million
at March 31, 2014 compared to the $12.9 million reported at
December 31, 2013. This increase was funded primarily by
deposit growth and the improvement of capital from operating
results. Loan balances increased $9.8 million or
3.7% during the same period. Loans increased from continued
efforts to grow the Bank's client base. During the quarter, the
Bank experienced growth in its consumer, mortgage and commercial
loan portfolios. Loans totaled $273.8 million at March 31,
2014.
Deposit totals of $294.1 million at March 31, 2014, represent an
increase of $10.8 million or 3.8% from the $283.3 million reported
at December 31, 2013. The increase during the quarter occurred
in both non-interest bearing and certificates of deposit primarily
as the Company continued efforts to grow its client
base.
Capital
As previously reported, Fentura Financial, Inc. and The State
Bank, have achieved their goal to maintain capital in excess of
levels considered well capitalized by regulatory agencies. The
Bank's regulatory capital ratios are detailed in the table that
follows and indicate strengthening of the Bank's Tier 1 Leverage
Capital Ratio at March 31, 2014 compared to March 31, 2013
associated with strong operating results.

Credit Quality
Throughout the first quarter of 2014, the Company continued to
benefit from improvement in credit quality. At March 31,
2014 loan delinquencies to total loans were 0.60% compared to 1.14%
reported at March 31, 2013. Substandard assets totaled $6.0
million at March 31, 2014, down from $9.1 million reported at March
31, 2013. The low level of loan delinquencies and the improved
level of substandard assets both support the lack of need for
additional provisions for the allowance for loan losses during the
quarter.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income of $3.1 million for the quarter ended March
31, 2014 improved compared to the $3.0 million and the $2.6 million
reported for both the fourth and first quarters of 2013,
respectively. The improvement in interest income was primarily
due to loan growth during the quarter and the year
respectively. Interest expense increased modestly comparing
the current quarter to the quarter ended December 31, 2013 due to
the increase in the amount of time deposits.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income was $1.1 million for the quarter ended March
31, 2014 compared to $1.3 million and $1.5 million for the fourth
and first quarters of 2013, respectively. The decline in the
volume of mortgage loans sold in the secondary market and
accordingly, the gain on sale recognized from those loan sales was
the primary contributor to the decline in the current
period.
Noninterest Expense
The Company recorded $3.3 million of noninterest expense in the
quarter ended March 31, 2014, a modest decline from the $3.4
million reported in the fourth quarter of 2013. Compared to
the quarter ended March 31, 2013, current period noninterest
expense increased $130,000 or 4.1%. The decrease in
noninterest expense in the current period compared to the fourth
quarter 2013 is primarily due to nonrecurring operating losses
incurred in the fourth quarter of 2013. The increase in
noninterest expense in the current period compared to the first
quarter of 2013 is attributable to an increase in salary and
benefits expense. These expenses increased in the current
period primarily due to annual salary increases to staff and the
increased cost of providing medical benefits.
