FRANKLIN, Ind., July 31, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--(OTCPINK: TDCB) - Third Century Bancorp ("Company"), the holding company for Mutual Savings Bank ("Bank"), announced it recorded unaudited net income of $228,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, or $0.19 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $175,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, or $0.15 per basic and diluted share.
"We were pleased to see our second quarter June 30, 2024 earnings level improve over the same period from a year earlier", noted David A. Coffey, President and CEO. Coffey continued, "Several factors contributed to this improvement. Of particular importance is the return of residential mortgage loan activity, which helps generate loan sale fee income. In addition, our loan portfolio yield continues to improve due to new loans being booked at current higher interest rates and adjustable-rate loans are adjusting at higher rates. Finally, we continue to see the impact of being mindful of our non-interest expense as we make every effort to operate efficiently." Coffey concluded, "The key to a successful year will be to continue to focus on improving our net interest margin."
For the quarter ended June 30, 2024, net income increased $53,000, or 30.07%, to $228,000 as compared to $175,000 for the same period in the prior year. Net interest income decreased to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30,2024 due to an increase in total interest expense of $603,000, or 44.14%, to $1,968,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $1,365,000 for the same period for the prior year. The increase in total interest expense was due to the increase in funding costs of both retail deposits and wholesale funding. Offsetting the increase in total interest expense was an increase in total interest income of $468,000, or 13.85% to $3,848,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, compared to $3,380,000 for the same period for the prior year. The increase in total interest income was the result of higher average yields on interest earning assets and higher average loan balances. The provision for credit losses during the current quarter was $0, compared to $146,000 for the same quarter last year due to the ongoing strength of our credit quality and zero non-performing loans for the last several quarters. Non-interest income increased by $18,000, or 5.76%, to $333,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $315,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in non-interest income occurred due to a slightly higher volume of residential loan sales compared to the same period for the prior year. Non-interest expense decreased by $38,000, or 1.82%, to $2,031,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $2,069,000 for the same period in the prior year due to cost savings in personnel and advertising expenses.
For the six-months ended June 30, 2024, net income increased $64,000, or 12.88%, to $558,000 as compared to $494,000 for the same period in the prior year. Net interest income decreased to $3.8 million for the six-months ended June 30,2024 due to an increase in total interest expense of $1,442,000, or 60.22%, to $3,836,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $2,394,000 for the same period for the prior year. The increase in total interest expense was due to the increase in funding costs of both retail deposits and wholesale funding. Offsetting the increase in total interest expense was an increase in total interest income of $1,235,000, or 19.17% to $7,679,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, compared to $6,444,000 for the same period for the prior year. The increase in total interest income was the result of higher average yields on interest earning assets and higher average loan balances. The provision for credit losses during the first half of 2024 was $2,000 compared to $176,000 for the same period last year due to the ongoing strength of our credit quality and zero non-performing loans for the last several quarters. Non-interest expense decreased by $70,000, or 1.71%, to $3,996,000 for the six-months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $4,066,000 for the same period in the prior year due to cost savings in personnel, outside consultant fees, and advertising expenses. Non-interest income increased by $57,000, or 9.41%, to $664,000 for the six-months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $607,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in non-interest income occurred due to a higher volume of residential loan sales, increased service fee income, and income on other assets as compared to the same period for the prior year. Non-interest income for the current six-months was also offset by a total of $42,000 in security sale losses due to balance sheet restructuring.
Total assets rose to $316.5 million at June 30, 2024 compared to $312.9 million at December 31, 2023. This increase was primarily due to a $4.7 million, or 34.93%, increase in cash and due from banks to $18.2 million at June 30, 2024. Loans held for investment increased to $199.0 million as of June 30, 2024, which is an increase of 1.14% compared to $196.7 million at December 31,2023. Total investments decreased $4.1 million, or 4.92% to $79.2 million at June 30, 2024 compared to $83.3 million at December 31, 2023. Total deposits were $242.5 million at June 30, 2024, down from $246.1 million as of December 31, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, the weighted average rate of all FHLB advances was 3.93% compared to 3.72% at December 31, 2023, and total FHLB advance balances were down $3.0 million, or 6.45% to $43.5 million at June 30, 2024 compared to $46.5 million at December 31, 2023.
Stockholders’ equity was $9.43 million at June 30, 2024, up from $8.58 million at June 30, 2023 and down from $9.51 million at December 31, 2023. Stockholders’ equity decreased during the six-months ended June 30, 2024, largely due to dividend payouts but increased over the twelve-month period since June 30, 2023 due to continued earnings and lower net unrealized losses in the available-for-sale-securities portfolio. The available-for-sale securities are investments in government sponsored mortgage-backed securities as well as investments in municipal bonds, which provide cash flow for business purposes. Average equity as a percentage of assets was 2.64% at June 30, 2024 compared to 2.74% at December 31, 2023.
