MANITOWOC, Wis., Oct. 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- County Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”; Nasdaq: ICBK), the holding company of Investors Community Bank (the “Bank”), a community bank headquartered in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020. Net income was $3.4 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2020, compared to net income of $5.7 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net income was $1.0 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to net income of $13.1 million, or $1.89 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 included a $5.0 million goodwill impairment charge, or $0.76 loss per diluted share in the first quarter of 2020. Excluding that charge, net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 would have been $6.0 million, or $0.87 per diluted share.

Tim Schneider, President of County Bancorp, Inc., noted, “We continue to see generally positive credit trends across our loan portfolio and we’re highly encouraged by the momentum of the recovery across our business, as well as across the businesses and communities that we live in and support. Class III milk prices (cwt) continued to improve, ranging from $16.43 to $24.54 during the third quarter of 2020, with fourth quarter futures contracts trading from $17.53 to $19.53, which we believe will improve the credit outlook for many of our dairy borrowers.   Loans in payment deferral associated with our customer pandemic support program declined $100.1 million during the third quarter. Loans rated watch or worse decreased by $13.1 million, which resulted in lower loan loss provision this quarter.”  

Schneider continued, “The investments we’ve made in our agricultural loan offerings are starting to bear fruit, resulting in an increase in overall loan production activity over the last few months. We saw stronger activity in loan sales resulting in increased loan servicing fees and rights during the third quarter 2020, which contributed to improved noninterest income this quarter. Lastly, we continue to be highly encouraged by a strong loan pipeline moving into the fourth quarter 2020, which should continue to support our momentum.”

Loans and Securities

• Total loans decreased $11.6 million, or 1.1%, during the third quarter of 2020, to $1.1 billion, and decreased $4.8 million, or 0.4%, since September 30, 2019.
• The decrease was primarily due to the continued focus on long-term liquidity. Loan participations the Company continued to service were $797.8 million at September 30, 2020, an increase of $35.8 million, or 4.7%, compared to the second quarter of 2020, and an increase of $61.0 million, or 8.3%, compared to September 30, 2019.
• Loans in payment deferral associated with COVID-19 customer support programs are $100.3 million, or 9.3% of total loans, at September 30, 2020, which is a decrease of 100.1, or 50.0%, million since June 30, 2020.
• $4.9 million, or 5.3%, of Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans provided to our customers were forgiven by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) during the third quarter of 2020 resulting in the Company having $98.4 million of PPP loans at September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, $3.3 million of SBA origination fees were deferred until the associated loan is forgiven.
• During the third quarter of 2020, investments increased by $71.5 million, or 31.5%. Purchases totaling $85.3 million were offset in part by $7.7 million in security sales and $5.8 million in maturities. Gain on the sale of securities was $0.1 million during the third quarter of 2020.
  

Deposits

• Total deposits at September 30, 2020 were $1.1 billion, a decrease of $22.9 million, or 2.1%, from June 30, 2020, and a decrease $92.6 million, or 8.1%, year-over-year.
• Client deposits (demand deposits, NOW accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts, and certificates of deposit) increased $4.1 million, or 0.5%, from June 30, 2020, to $897.6 million, and increased $79.4 million, or 9.7%, year-over-year.
• The Company decreased its reliance on brokered deposits and national certificate of deposits by $26.9 million, or 15.0%, to $152.6 million during the third quarter of 2020, and decreased by $172.0 million, or 53.0% since September 30, 2019.
  

Net Interest Income and Margin

• Net interest margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 was 2.40%. Net interest margin decreased 14 basis points quarter-to-quarter, and decreased 45 basis points year-over-year due primarily to the SBA PPP loans that were funded during the second quarter of 2020 at annual yield of 1.0%, as well as the repricing of loans in the declining rate environment. The issuance of subordinated debt during 2020 also adversely affected net interest margin by three basis points year-to-date.
• Interest income on investment securities increased both quarter-to-quarter and year-over-year due to shifting balances from interest-bearing deposits with banks to investment securities with higher yields.
• Loan interest income decreased compared to the sequential quarter and year-over-year periods primarily as a result of the lower yields on the previously mentioned PPP loans. The year-over-year decrease was also affected by the shift from loans held on balance sheet to loans sold and serviced.
• Interest expense on savings, NOW, money market, and interest checking accounts decreased, despite the increase in average balance, by nine basis points in the linked quarter and by 110 basis points year-over year due to the market-driven drop in the federal funds rate.
• Interest expense on time deposits decreased quarter-over-quarter due in part to the Company’s continued focus on shifting away from brokered time deposit balances for funding. Time deposits decreased year-over-year, primarily due to the Company’s shift away from wholesale funding. Rates paid on time deposits decreased by 36 basis points in both the linked quarter and year-over-year, which also contributed to the overall decrease in cost of funds.
• Interest expense on subordinated debt increased quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year due to the $5.1 million of subordinated debt that was issued during the third quarter of 2020 and the $17.4 million of subordinated debt issued on June 30, 2020. Such subordinated debt was issued by the Company to take advantage of attractive market pricing and strengthen the Company's capital structure.

The table below presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on net interest income for the periods indicated.

Non-Interest Income

• Loan servicing income increased quarter-over-quarter primarily due to a three basis points increase in loan servicing fees as a percent of average loans serviced for the third quarter and a $35.8 million increase total loans serviced. Year-over-year, loan servicing fees increased due primarily to an 11 basis point increase in loan servicing fees as a percent of average loans serviced and an increase in loans serviced.
• Loan servicing right origination increased both quarter-over-quarter and decreased year-over-year. The increase in the quarter was primarily due to an increase in loans sold and serviced. The loan servicing rights as a percent of loans serviced remained at 2.16% since June 30, 2020. The year-over-year increase from 1.54% at September 30, 2019 is due to loans being recorded at fair value in 2020 versus amortized cost in 2019.
• $7.7 million of securities were sold during the third quarter of 2020, which resulted in a $0.1 million gain.

Non-Performing Assets

• Non-performing assets increased in the quarter by $6.3 million, or 16.6%, sequentially compared to the second quarter of 2020. Year-over-year, non-performing assets increased $16.4 million, or 58.5%, due to a $11.1 million increase in non-accrual agricultural loans and a $9.5 million increase in non-accrual commercial loans, which were partially offset by a $4.2 million decrease in OREO properties.
• A provision for loan losses of $0.1 million was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to a provision of $ 1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in provision in the linked quarter was primarily the result of the improvement of watch and substandard performing rated credits, which was only partially offset by the increase in specific impairments on impaired credits.

(1) Management uses the return on average common shareholders’ equity to review our core operating results and our performance.
(2) In our judgment, the adjustments made to non-interest expense allow investors to better assess our operating expenses in relation to our core operating revenue by removing the volatility that is associated with certain one-time items and other discrete items that are unrelated to our core business.
(3) In our judgment, the adjustment made to diluted earnings per share allows investors to better assess our income related to core operations by removing the volatility associated with the goodwill impairment which was a one-time, non-cash expense.
