Frederick County Bancorp, Inc. Reports Results for the Second Quarter 2017

FREDERICK, Md.--()--Frederick County Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCPink Marketplace: FCBI), the parent company for Frederick County Bank (“FCB”), announced today that, for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded net income of $634 thousand and diluted earnings per share of $0.41, as compared to net income of $362 thousand and diluted earnings per share of $0.23 recorded for the second quarter of 2016. The Company earned $1.00 million with diluted earnings per share of $0.65 for the six months ended on June 30, 2017, as compared to $651 thousand in earnings and diluted earnings per share of $0.42 for the same period in 2016.

The increase in quarterly earnings was due primarily to increases in net interest income of $378 thousand and in total noninterest income of $232 thousand in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the second quarter of 2016, respectively. A provision for loan losses in the amount of $93 thousand was recorded in the second quarter of 2017, while a provision for loan losses of $200 thousand was recognized in the same quarter of 2016. The increase in total noninterest income was due primarily to securities gains of $165 thousand and gain on sale of loans of $49 thousand in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to $51 of securities gains and $13 thousand of loan sale gains in the second quarter of 2016.

The increase in year-to-date earnings was due primarily to increases in net interest income of $492 thousand and in total noninterest income of $252 thousand in the first half of 2017 as compared to the first half of 2016, respectively. The increase in total noninterest income was due primarily to securities gains of $165 thousand and gain on sale of loans of $87 thousand in the first half of 2017 as compared to $51 of securities gains and $18 thousand of loan sale gains in the first half of 2016.

The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans stood at 1.28% and 1.04% as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and at 1.22% as of December 31, 2016. Total nonperforming assets stood at $7.1 million and $7.7 million at June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and at $7.4 million at December 31, 2016. The corresponding nonperforming assets to total assets ratios were 1.76% and 2.08% as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and 1.96% at December 31, 2016.

The Company also reported that, as of June 30, 2017, assets stood at $406.7 million, with total deposits of $347.9 million and gross loans of $309.3 million, representing increases of 9.5%, 10.3%, and 4.9%, respectively, compared to June 30, 2016. Total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2017 was $32.1 million, an increase of $958 thousand from December 31, 2016. The increase primarily resulted from an increase in retained earnings of $793 thousand, an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of $152 thousand and an increase in additional paid-in capital of $13 thousand, which was from the exercise of stock options, from December 31, 2016. On a per share basis, book value increased by $0.62 for 2017 to $21.51 per share at June 30, 2017 from $20.89 per share at December 31, 2016. The dividends declared per share remained constant at $0.14 per share for the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

The Company adopted a new stock repurchase authorization, effective July 1, 2017 and extending until June 30, 2022, authorizing the repurchase of up to 100,000 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $3 million. The new stock purchase authorization replaces the prior authorization, which expired on June 30, 2017, under which an aggregate of 48,550 shares of common stock were repurchased for aggregate expenditures of approximately $770 thousand dollars during the five years ended June 30, 2017.
