CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2021 Results


BROOKFIELD, Wis., July 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company” or “CIBM”) (OTCQB: CIBH), the holding company of CIBM Bank, announced its unaudited results of operations and financial condition for the six months and quarter ended June 30, 2021. Net income for the six months was $3.5 million compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 2020, and $1.4 million for the quarter compared to $1.7 million for the same quarter in 2020.

Financial highlights include:

  • Return on average assets improved to 0.94% for the six months, compared to 0.68% for the same period in 2020; and 0.74% for the quarter compared to 0.89% for the same period of 2020.
  • Tangible book value attributable to the common stock increased to $54.19 per share outstanding at June 30, 2021, compared to $52.28 at December 31, 2020, and $47.25 at June 30, 2020, reflecting a 12-month increase of 14.7%.
  • Net interest income was up for the six months and the quarter by $1.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020. The primary reason for the change is a 74 basis point and 60 basis point decline in the cost of interest bearing liabilities over the respective time periods, compared to a 36 and 19 basis point change in yields on interest earning assets, respectively. The change in the cost of interest bearing liabilities is due to repricing in a lower rate environment and a shift in balances from higher rate time deposits to lower rate money market and non-interest bearing checking accounts. In addition, yields on loans have declined slowly due to the predominantly fixed rate nature of the portfolio and a change in portfolio mix away from lower earning residential loans in favor of higher earning commercial real estate loans. As a result, the net interest margin as of June 30, 2021, is 3.24%, which is 24 basis points higher than at June 30, 2020.      
  • Net mortgage banking revenues were up $1.6 million for the six months and down $1.2 million for the quarter, compared to the same periods of 2020. The decline in the quarter-end results was primarily due to the exceptional levels of mortgage refinance activity and pricing margins in 2020, and the increase in the six-month results is due to the relative strength of first quarter production in 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. Although mortgage rates are up 25 to 50 basis points from last year, the total origination of mortgage loans for the six months ended June 30, 2021, was $239 million compared to $218 million in the same period of 2020, with the current year production comprised of more purchase money and cash out refinance mortgage loans.
  • Compensation expenses increased $1.2 million for the six-month period compared to the same period last year, primarily due to increased performance-related compensation in the mortgage division.
  • Non-performing assets, restructured loans, and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing to total assets and nonaccrual loans to total loans were 0.29% and 0.19%, respectively, at June 30, 2021, down from 0.54% and 0.23%, respectively, at December 31, 2020, and 1.02% and 0.92%, respectively, at June 30, 2020. The results continue to be near this credit cycle’s best, due in part to fiscal support measures for businesses in certain sectors, the credit resolution of a few large loans, and the sale of OREO property.
  • During the six months ended June 30, 2021, CIBM Bank originated $19 million in round two Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans. As of June 30, 2021, CIBM Bank had received $37 million in SBA forgiveness funding for the approximately $43 million in PPP loans originated in 2020; and $1 million of forgiveness for PPP loans originated in 2021. The forgiveness funding rate per loan as a percent of the original loan balance has been 100% to date.
  • Checking account deposits grew by $31.1 million, and savings and money market account deposits grew by $22.2 million, from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021, reflecting federal fiscal and monetary policies (e.g., low interest rates and liquidity support programs) as well as ongoing marketing activity results.

Mr. J. Brian Chaffin, CIB Marine’s President and CEO, commented, “Improvements to our cost of funds and higher commercial loan balances have supported strong growth of $1.2 million in our net interest income year-to-date. Solid mortgage origination production is above where it was last year at this time, but the pipeline of loans not yet closed is lower compared to this time in 2020 due in part to the higher interest rates and lower levels of rate refinance activity. SBA lending activity in the first six months of 2021 has again been dominated by PPP loan activity, including originations and forgiveness funding. We have begun to originate SBA 7(a) loans again; up to $3 million may be ready for sale in the second half of 2021 and more production is expected in the future.”     

Noting an increase in deposit balances across the financial industry as a whole, Mr. Chaffin commented, “Total balances in combined checking, savings, and money market products at CIBM Bank increased $99 million over the last 12 months and $53 million the last six months due, in part, to federal economic stimulus policies and programs. We expect these balances to recede in the future as stimulus monies are spent and further when short-term interest rates begin to rise.”  

He also remarked on non-performing loan credit metrics at or near cyclical bests, noting, “We are very pleased with the results, due in part to the diversification of the portfolio by segment and commercial real estate property type. However, we remain cautious about future credit quality in higher risk segments of the portfolio due to the lingering impact of the pandemic. As a result, although down from the prior quarter- and year-end, we continue to have a higher than normal loan loss reserve reflecting, in part, higher environmental factor adjustments.

“Finally, we know our shareholders are anxiously awaiting news on the status of negotiations regarding our plan to repurchase preferred stock. Progress has been slower than expected, but continues. We ask for your patience as we work through the process. If we are able to reach an agreement on a proposal that will benefit all shareholders, we will present it for approval in a new proxy statement. If such an agreement is not possible, we will notify shareholders and the Annual Meeting will proceed as currently scheduled on July 29th,” he concluded.
