Glen Burnie Bancorp Announces Third Quarter 2018 Results


GLEN BURNIE, Md., Oct. 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glen Burnie Bancorp (“Bancorp”) (NASDAQ: GLBZ), the bank holding company for The Bank of Glen Burnie (“Bank”), announced today net income of $0.54 million, or $0.19 per basic and diluted common share for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018, as compared to net income of $0.41 million, or $0.15 per basic and diluted common share for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017.

Bancorp reported net income of $1.28 million, or $0.45 per basic and diluted common share for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, compared to $1.06 million, or $0.38 per basic and diluted common share for the same period in 2017.  Net loans grew by $23.7 million, or 8.81% at September 30, 2018 when compared to the same period of 2017.  At September 30, 2018, Bancorp had total assets of $411.4 million.  Bancorp, the oldest independent commercial bank in Anne Arundel County, will pay its 105th consecutive quarterly dividend on November 2, 2018.

"We are pleased to report a strong quarter that was highlighted by expansion of our net interest margin and net interest income reflecting outstanding credit quality, disciplined loan pricing, and a beneficial balance sheet structure.  Our third quarter results are consistent with our expectations and reflect year-over-year improvement in our profitability, driven by strong revenue growth,” stated John D. Long, President and CEO.  “Our net interest margin increased to 3.34% in the third quarter of 2018 compared with 3.10% in the same period of 2017.  The improved net interest margin exhibits a higher yield on average earning assets, primarily reflecting an increased yield on loans, which more than offset a higher cost of funds.  Our cost of funds continued to trend upwards in the third quarter, reflecting the continuing rising interest rate environment.  We believe that our current balance sheet structure positions our net interest income to benefit from any further Federal Open Market Committee tightening,” Mr. Long continued, “Our net income in the third quarter of 2018 increased 31.87% to $0.54 million compared with $0.41 million in the year-ago quarter.  We also made several changes during the third quarter to streamline our operations and we remain focused on controlling overhead costs.  Our sustained strength in core profitability, sound capital position, and healthy loan pipeline positions us to take advantage of future growth opportunities and finish the year strong.”

Highlights for the First Nine Months of 2018

Bancorp continued to grow organically in the third quarter of 2018 driven primarily by favorable net loan growth.  Bancorp has strong liquidity and capital positions that provide ample capacity for future growth, along with the Bank’s total regulatory capital to risk weighted assets of 12.64% at September 30, 2018, as compared to 14.68% for the same period of 2017.

Return on average assets for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 was 0.54%, as compared to 0.42% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017.  Return on average equity for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 was 6.50%, as compared to 4.82% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017. 

The book value per share of Bancorp’s common stock was $11.86 at September 30, 2018, as compared to $12.38 per share at September 30, 2017.

At September 30, 2018, the Bank remained above all “well-capitalized” regulatory requirement levels.  The Bank’s tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was approximately 11.75% at September 30, 2018, as compared to 13.63% at September 30, 2017.  Liquidity remained strong due to managed cash and cash equivalents, borrowing lines with the FHLB of Atlanta, the Federal Reserve and correspondent banks, and the size and composition of the bond portfolio.

Balance Sheet Review

Total assets were $411.4 million at September 30, 2018, an increase of $21.5 million or 5.51%, from $389.9 million at September 30, 2017.  Investment securities were $84.0 million at September 30, 2018, a decrease of $5.9 million or 6.53%, from $89.9 million at September 30, 2017.  Loans, net of deferred fees and costs, were $295.0 million at September 30, 2018, an increase of $23.5 million or 8.66%, from $271.5 million at September 30, 2017.  Bank owned life insurance decreased $1.7 million or 17.52% from September 30, 2017 to September 30, 2018 primarily due to the redemption of BOLI policies.  Other assets increased $0.7 million from September 30, 2017 to September 30, 2018 primarily due to the increase in fair value of pay-fixed interest rate swaps used to convert variable rate FHLB borrowing into fixed rate debt.

Total deposits were $336.8 million at September 30, 2018, an increase of $2.7 million or 0.82%, from $334.1 million at September 30, 2017.  Noninterest-bearing deposits were $107.9 million at September 30, 2018, an increase of $3.3 million or 3.20%, from $104.6 million at September 30, 2017.  Interest-bearing deposits were $228.9 million at September 30, 2018, a decrease of $0.6 million or 0.26%, from $229.5 million at September 30, 2017.  Total borrowings were $40.0 million at September 30, 2018, an increase of $20.0 million or 100.00%, from $20.0 million at September 30, 2017.

Stockholders’ equity was $33.3 million at September 30, 2018, a decrease of $1.3 million from $34.0 million at September 30, 2017.  The $1.4 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with net unrealized losses on the available for sale bond portfolio, offset by unrealized gains on interest rate swap contracts primarily drove the decrease in stockholders’ equity.

Nonperforming assets, which consist of nonaccrual loans, troubled debt restructurings, accruing loans past due 90 days or more, and other real estate owned, represented 0.75% of total assets at September 30, 2018, as compared to 1.08% for the same period of 2017.
