Sturgis Bancorp, Inc. (OTCBB: STBI) today announced net income of $436,000 for the second quarter of 2013.

Sturgis Bancorp is the holding company for Sturgis Bank & Trust Company (Bank), and its subsidiaries Oakleaf Financial Services, Inc. and Oak Mortgage, LLC. Sturgis Bancorp provides a full array of trust, commercial and consumer banking services from 11 banking centers in Sturgis, Bronson, Centreville, Climax, Colon, South Haven, Three Rivers and White Pigeon, Mich. Oakleaf Financial Services offers a complete range of investment and financial-advisory services. Oak Mortgage offers residential mortgages in all markets of the Bank.

Key Highlights as of June 30, 2013:

  • Net income was $436,000 for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $502,000 for the second quarter of 2012.
  • The Bank maintained strong capital ratios, exceeding "well-capitalized" requirements, with Tier 1 capital at 8.85%. Total capital at June 30, 2013 was 14.58% of risk-weighted assets.
  • Nonaccrual and past due loans decreased from December 31, 2012.
  • Total deposits decreased 0.9% to $232.9 million, mostly in temporary municipal deposits.
  • Allowance for loan losses was 1.95% of loans, down slightly from 2.03% at the end of 2012.

President and CEO Eric L. Eishen stated: "Credit quality continues to improve and earnings are stable. Capital ratios are the strongest they have been since I took leadership of the Bank. I am pleased we have navigated the financial crisis and come out a stronger bank. Management will continue to focus on improving earnings and expense control. The low sustained rates are problematic for the industry and regulatory expectations are increasing. We are confident the Bank is in excellent position to return to normal operations, as soon as the economic conditions have stabilized. Loan demand is weak and the increase in mortgage rates has slowed down mortgage refinance activity. We continue to be the market leader in St. Joseph County and real estate purchase activity is improving."
