Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Profitability Growth: Net income increased by 39% ($367,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. This was driven by a $1.49 million increase in net interest income and a $356,000 increase in other income.
- Balance Sheet Expansion: Total assets grew by $40.1 million since December 31, 2010. Loans increased by $35.4 million, and investment securities increased by $12.8 million.
- Deposit Growth: Total deposits rose by $48.5 million year-to-date, significantly aided by a $24 million short-term public funds deposit account. Non-interest bearing deposits also grew by $6.2 million.
- Cost of Funds: The cost of funds decreased by 40 basis points, contributing to an improved net interest margin despite a decline in loan yields.
- Expense Increases: Non-interest expenses increased by $1.17 million for the six-month period, primarily due to salary increases ($857,000) associated with new hires and the opening of a new branch in Morgantown, WV.
- Capital Raise: Stockholders' equity increased by approximately $8.1 million, largely due to the completion of an $8.3 million confidential stock offering to accredited investors in the first quarter of 2011.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Outlook: Management expects to continue focusing on attracting core deposits to fund growth in new markets. The company emphasizes customer service and product quality as key drivers for future success.
- Strategic Initiatives: The company opened a new full-service office in Morgantown, WV, in the second quarter of 2011 to diversify location and revenue sources.
- Risks and Contingencies:
- Credit Quality: While the local West Virginia economy is performing better than the national average, non-performing loans to total loans increased to 1.46% in June 2011 from 0.90% in June 2010. Charge-offs to total loans were 0.15% for the period.
- Interest Rate Risk: The company actively manages interest rate risk through its Asset/Liability Committee, though changes in market rates remain a primary risk factor.
- Liquidity: The company maintains significant liquidity with $18.2 million in cash and equivalents and access to over $99.7 million in FHLB borrowing capacity.
- Unusual Items: A significant portion of the increase in other income ($198,000 for the quarter) was due to gains on the sale of investment securities, utilizing a "riding the yield curve" strategy.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Loan Portfolio Quality: Verify the trend in non-performing loans (increased to 1.46%) and the adequacy of the Allowance for Loan Losses (0.80% of total loans) given the local economic conditions.
- Deposit Stability: Assess the sustainability of the $24 million public funds deposit that drove a significant portion of the deposit growth.
- Expense Management: Monitor the impact of the new Morgantown branch and increased staffing on the efficiency ratio, which rose slightly to 71.30% in Q2 2011.
- Capital Adequacy: Confirm that the recent $8.3 million capital raise has strengthened the Tier 1 capital ratio (13.84%) and risk-based capital ratio (14.73%) to support future lending growth.
- Investment Strategy: Review the reliance on gains from the sale of securities for non-interest income, as this may not be a recurring revenue stream.
