First Bancorp of Indiana, Inc. Announces Financial Results
(firmenpresse) - EVANSVILLE, IN -- (Marketwired) -- 10/24/14 -- First Bancorp of Indiana, Inc. (OTCBB: FBPI), the holding company for First Federal Savings Bank, reported earnings of $319,000 for the first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2014, compared to $300,000 for the same quarter a year ago.
Net interest income for quarter ended September 30, 2014, improved 3.0% from the same period last fiscal year as the net loan portfolio grew $15.1 million, or 7.0%, over the past year. This followed loan growth of 11.5% during the prior 12-month period. In addition, the credit quality of the loan portfolio continues to improve. Consequently, provisions for loan losses for the most recent quarter were trimmed from the same quarter last fiscal year. Although mortgage loan rates remain low by historic standards, the number of borrowers seeking to refinance their homes has declined considerably during the past year. Furthermore, loans to purchase homes remain well below the levels preceding the financial crisis. With far fewer loans available to sell, noninterest income declined 12.8% between the comparative quarters.
At approximately 8.9%, First Federal''s tier one capital ratio 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 paid a dividend of 15.5 cents per outstanding share for the 26th consecutive quarter.
