First Bancorp of Indiana, Inc. Announces Financial Results

By: PRLog
EVANSVILLE, Ind. - April 27, 2016 - PRLog -- First Bancorp of Indiana, Inc., (OTCBB:FBPI), the holding company for First Federal Savings Bank, reported earnings of $548,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, compared to net income of $389,000 in the same quarter last year. The quarter-over-quarter change was attributed primarily to gains from sales of investment securities as reflected by the increase in noninterest income. These gains more than offset a 4.1% increase in noninterest expenses due largely to the transition to an outsourced IT management solution. In addition, net interest income for the most recent quarter improved marginally from the year-ago quarter.

The Company recognized earnings of $1,494,000 through the first nine months of fiscal 2016, up from $1,081,000 for the same period in fiscal 2015. In addition to the aforementioned investment sale, fiscal 2016 earnings have benefitted from a 5.1% increase in net interest income thanks to a lower cost of funds and improved performance of the investment portfolio. Furthermore, the modest provisions for loan losses reflect the improving credit quality of the loan portfolio.

At approximately 8.9%, First Federal's tier one capital ratio at March 31, 2016, 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 32 consecutive quarters.
