First Bancorp of Indiana, Inc. Announces Financial Results

By: PRLog
EVANSVILLE, Ind. - April 27, 2018 - PRLog -- First Bancorp of Indiana, Inc., (OTCBB:FBPI), the holding company for First Federal Savings Bank, reported earnings of $335,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, compared to net income of $261,000 in the same quarter last year.  The quarter-over-quarter change was largely attributed to a 13.6% improvement in net interest income that was partially offset by a 6.0% increase in noninterest expense.  Compensation and benefits comprised much of the added expenses.

Net loans grew $16.1 million, or 6.3%, through the first nine months of fiscal 2018, resulting in year-to-date net interest income improving $827,000 over the same period last year.  At the same time, noninterest expenses were $690,000 over last year's total with staffing costs primarily responsible for the increase.  In addition to a modest decrease in noninterest revenues, the company recorded an $89,000 one-time charge to income tax expense due to the tax reform legislation passed in December 2017.

At approximately 8.5%, First Federal's tier one capital ratio at March 31, 2018, was well in excess of the five percent regulatory standard for "well-capitalized" financial institutions.  The bank's other capital measurements also continue to comfortably exceed "well-capitalized" standards.  In addition, First Bancorp has paid a dividend of 15.5 cents per outstanding share for 40 consecutive quarters.
