Blackhawk Bancorp Reports Second Quarter Results

BELOIT, WI / ACCESSWIRE / July 21, 2023 / Blackhawk Bancorp, Inc. (OTCQX:BHWB), (the "Company") the parent company of Blackhawk Bank (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $3.19 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, a 10% increase from the $2.89 million earned the in the preceding quarter, and an 8% decrease compared to the $3.48 million earned during the second quarter of 2022. Diluted Earnings per Share (EPS) for the current quarter was $1.10, an increase of $0.10, or 10%, compared to the preceding quarter, and a $0.11 decrease, or 9%, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The second quarter of 2023 results yielded a Return on Average Equity (ROAE) of 15.64% and a Return on Average Assets (ROAA) of 0.96%.

Results for the second quarter of 2023 included $202,000 (after-tax) of expenses related to the pending merger with First Mid Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: FMBH) ("First Mid"). Excluding these expenses, the 2023 second-quarter net income would have been $3.40 million, a $503,000, or 17%, increase compared to the linked quarter ending March 31, 2023, and a $82,000, or 2%, decrease over the second quarter of last year.

The decrease in net income for the second quarter of 2023, compared to the second quarter of the prior year was driven by a $1.97 million increase in the provision for loan losses and a $476,000 decrease in revenue from the sale and servicing of mortgage loans. The increase in the provision for loan losses was due to a $1.50 million negative provision in the second quarter of last year. These variances were partially offset by an $812,000 increase in net interest income and a $1.42 million reduction in other operating expenses. The reduction in other operating expenses reflects the $1.27 million charge related to branch closures in the second quarter of 2022.

(1) Non-GAAP Presentations: Management discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate and measure the Company's performance, including the presentation of net interest income, net interest margin and efficiency ratio calculations on a taxable equivalent basis ("TE"). The net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income on a TE basis by average earning assets for the period. Management believes this measure provides investors with information regarding comparative balance sheet profitability.

(2) The efficiency ratio is calculated as noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income on an TE basis, noninterest income less any securities gains (losses) or other gains (losses), and also includes a TE adjustment on interest on tax-exempt securities, loans, and the increases in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance.

(3) The efficiency ratio excludes one time charges related to branch closures in 2022.

(1) Non-GAAP Presentations: Management discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate and measure the Company's performance, including the presentation of the net interest margin and efficiency ratio calculations on a taxable equivalent basis ("TE"). The net interest margin ratio is calculated by dividing net interest income on a tax equivalent basis by average earning assets for the period. Management believes this measure provides investors with information regarding comparative balance sheet profitability.
(2) The efficiency ratio is calculated as noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income on a TE basis, noninterest income less any securities gains (losses) or other gains (losses), and also includes a TE adjustment on the increases in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance.
