University Bancorp 1Q2014 Loss $371,334, $0.079 per Share
ANN ARBOR, MI--(Marketwired - Jun 10, 2014) - University
Bancorp, Inc. (OTCQB: UNIB) announced that it had an unaudited net
loss attributable to University Bancorp, Inc. common stock
shareholders in the first three months of 2014 of $371,334, $0.079
per share on average shares outstanding of 4,692,828 for the first
three months. In 1Q2014 the net loss of the Company's
wholly-owned subsidiary, University Bank, was $353,491, below the
budget by $21,536, and consolidated after-tax net loss before
minority interest was $349,696, below the budget by
$102,639. For the first three months of 2014 minority interest
of $3,795 and preferred stock dividends of $23,144 were
incurred.
President Stephen Lange Ranzini noted, "The budget for 2014
calls for the company to have net income attributable to University
Bancorp, Inc. common stock shareholders of $2.68 million after-tax,
$0.57 per share, and the bank to earn $5.17 million pre-tax and
$3.4 million after-tax before minority interest.". Results in
the second quarter of 2014 are improved and we are currently ahead
of the budgeted net income, year to date. The first quarter
was budgeted to be the least profitable quarter in 2014 because
residential purchase transactions are typically at seasonal low
ebb."
First quarter 2014 earnings at University Bank were negatively
impacted by expected seasonally slow mortgage originations, a
quarterly mark to market on our mortgage servicing rights of
negative $257,510 and legal expense related to a lawsuit of
$304,996. During the quarter, the bank made progress with the
lawsuit and achieved summary judgment on additional counts, so that
now 20 of the 22 counts in the complaint have been fully
dismissed. Management believes that the bank's estimated
exposure on the remaining counts is not material and the bank is
entitled under applicable state law to reimbursement of $150,000 of
legal fees since it achieved summary judgment on some of the
primary claims in the complaint. Despite these expenses, which
were also partially offset by a decrease in the required allowance
for loan losses of $199,938, results for the quarter were just
$21,536 under the budgeted net income.
For the 12 months ended March 31, 2014, the Company had
unaudited net income attributable to University Bancorp, Inc.
common stock shareholders of $972,606 or $0.208 per share on
average shares outstanding of 4,686,446 and return on equity
attributable to common stock shareholders was 12.9% on initial
equity of $7,543,415.
After deducting minority interest of $145,248 and preferred
stock dividends of $24,194, net income attributable to University
Bancorp, Inc. common stock shareholders in the first quarter of
2013 was $486,848, or $0.104 per share on average shares
outstanding for the quarter of 4,667,598. The 1Q2013 pre-tax
profit of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, University Bank,
was $1,001,200, was above the budget by $649,673, and consolidated
after-tax net income before minority interest was $660,200, above
the budget by $427,192. Results were above budget in 1Q2013
and unseasonably high due to higher than anticipated mortgage
originations flowing from refinancing.
Tier 1 Capital rose to 12.99% at 3/31/2014, and was $12,789,000
on average and is projected to be 13.79% at 12/31/2014, if we
achieve our 2014 budget goal unless we opt to pay dividends or
conduct a stock buyback during 2014, which is a
possibility.
Shareholders' equity attributable to University Bancorp, Inc.
common stock shareholders was $9,064,642 or $1.932 per share, based
on shares outstanding at March 31, 2014 of
4,692,828. Excluding goodwill & other intangibles related
to the acquisition of Midwest Loan Services and AAIC, net tangible
shareholders' equity attributable to University Bancorp, Inc.
common stock shareholders was $8,299,262 or $1.768 per share at
3/31/2014. (Please note that we do not see this latter
statistic as particularly useful or meaningful.) Treasury
Shares as of 3/31/2014 were 89,954.
Michigan and the Ann Arbor MSA continue to increase employment
and as a result, the performance of our portfolio loans and our
overall asset quality continues to improve and we are experiencing
low loan delinquencies. We had only one loan delinquent over
30 days at 4/30/2014, a residential loan with a carrying value of
$11,315 which is in the process of foreclosure. Total
classified loans on our watch list at March 31, 2014 are 6 in
number for $1,595,985 and ORE were 4 in number for $364,153 for a
total of 10 substandard assets carried at $1,960,138, or 15.3% of
Tier 1 Capital. During April, we sold an ORE property with a
carrying value of $4,523 for a gain of $107,418 and we had a payoff
of a substandard residential loan in the amount of
$361,922. The Allowance for Loan Losses stands at $770,956, or
1.49% of the amount of portfolio loans excluding the loans held for
sale, which have their own separate reserve of $366,800 at March
31, 2014.
In the first three months of 2014, our residential mortgage
origination groups originated $103.1 million of mortgages sold to
the secondary market, of which $62.9 million were originated by our
retail origination group, University Lending Group, LLC, $24.4
million were originated by our Islamic banking unit, University
Islamic Financial, and the remainder originated by our credit union
origination group. 91% of our retail originations and 80% of
our Islamic originations financed purchase transactions. It is
our goal that our mortgage origination business is not dependent
upon refinancing.
Liquidity remains excellent and we manage an additional $80
million of deposits in an off-balance sheet sweep arrangement
through a series of deposit accounts at the Federal Home Loan Bank
of Indianapolis, which are available to us to meet any withdraws in
just a few minutes, and on which we earn the interest. The
bank's latest ALM report indicates that the bank's income will rise
significantly if short term rates rise, or rise if long term rates
either rise or fall. The bank's pre-tax income will rise
approx. $1.5 million pre-tax or $1 million after-tax for each 1%
rise in the Fed Funds rate from the escrow deposits and assets tied
to short term interest rates that we control. We note the
financial markets' expectations that the Fed Funds rate will rise
starting in about a year.
After quarter-end, the Company paid all outstanding dividends on
its 9% preferred stock through the end of April 2014 and still
retained $600,000 cash on hand.
The Company will host a conference call at Noon at Friday June
13, 2014 to discuss the 1Q2014 results with its
shareholders. Please contact Stephen Lange Ranzini via email
at ranzini@university-bank.com to receive the call-in information
