(MENAFNEditorial) WAUKESHA, Wis., Jan. 31, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc. (the 'Company' or 'CIBM') (OTCQB:CIBH), the holding company of CIBM Bank, announced its unaudited results of operations and financial condition for the fourth quarter and year-end 2017. During the fourth quarter of 2017, CIB Marine made special tax adjustment entries related to its deferred tax assets, including a partial reversal of its valuation allowance, and, as a result, it reported net income after tax of $23.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2017 and $27.0 million for the year 2017. Pre-tax net income for the fourth quarter of 2017 was $1.2 million or $0.07 basic and $0.03 diluted earnings per share, compared to $1.1 million for the same period of 2016 and $0.06 basic and $0.03 diluted earnings per share. Pre-tax net income for the year ended December 31, 2017, was $4.3 million or $0.24 basic and $0.12 diluted earnings per share, compared to $4.1 million or $0.23 basic and $0.12 diluted per share for the same period of 2016.
Select highlights for the quarter and year include:
At December 31, 2016, CIB Marine reported a deferred tax asset ('DTA') of $41.6 million net of liabilities and a full valuation allowance resulting in a net DTA of $0. At December 31, 2017, CIB Marine reports a DTA of $30.3 million net of liabilities and a valuation allowance of $7.7 million for a net DTA of $22.6 million. CIB Marine's recent earnings history and earnings outlooks, in addition to other facts and circumstances, were supportive of a valuation allowance adjustment at the end of 2017. The $7.7 million valuation allowance at December 31, 2017, represents the estimate at this time of state tax assets that are not anticipated to be utilized prior to their expiration. The $11.3 million reduction in the gross DTA between 2017 and 2016 is primarily due to the change in tax laws, including a federal tax rate decrease from 35% to 21%, and the utilization of tax assets during 2017 to reduce federal and state tax obligations. The federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed in December 2017 resulted in a reduction of federal tax rates and eliminated the 20% alternative minimum tax, which was applicable to CIB Marine after use of tax assets on approximately 10% of its taxable income in 2017 and prior years. The adjustment in the valuation allowance against the DTAs at the end of 2017 resulted in a credit to tax expense of $24.4 million, thereby increasing net income after tax. As a result of the valuation allowance adjustments, CIB Marine will now report full tax expenses at applicable tax rates. However, those tax expenses reduce the carrying value of DTAs and, for the most part, are not remitted as tax payments. At applicable tax rates, a tax expense of $1.7 million was recorded against $4.3 million of pre-tax net income for 2017. Return on average assets was 4.19% for the year 2017, reflecting the tax entries and improved composition of operating income from core operating activities. Pre-tax, the return on average assets was 0.67% for the years 2017 and 2016. Pre-tax net income for subsidiary CIBM Bank was $1.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2017 compared to $1.2 million for the same period of 2016, and $5.2 million for the year 2017 compared to $4.3 million for the same period of 2016. Despite higher provisions for loan losses, CIBM Bank achieved improved revenues and lower expenses than the prior year. After tax, net income was $20.9 million reflecting $5.2 million in pre-tax operating income, $2.0 million in tax expense, and a $17.7 million credit tax provision to adjust the valuation allowance for the DTAs at CIBM Bank. Net interest income increased $1.4 million for the year 2017 compared to 2016. The increase was primarily due to improved rate spreads and higher average earning asset volumes. Non-interest income declined by $0.7 million in 2017 versus 2016. However, after adjusting for a $1.1 million difference in gain on sale of OREO between 2016 and 2017, the results were improved by $0.4 million. Improved core operating activities were primarily reflected in a $1.0 million increase in 2017 in gain on sale of SBA 7(a) loans versus 2016. Net mortgage banking revenues were down $0.6 million due primarily to the increase in interest rates and a corresponding reduction in mortgage refinancing. Provisions for loan losses were $0.2 million in 2017, reflecting an increase of $0.8 million over 2016. Although 2017 was another successful collection year, 2016 results reflected substantially more in recoveries. Non-performing assets to total assets declined to 1.13% at December 31, 2017, versus 1.67% at year-end 2016, reflecting a stronger economy and success in collection activities. Mr. J. Brian Chaffin, President and CEO of CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc. commented, 'Results in 2017 reflected improved core operating activities and successes in key initiatives. Despite rising interest rates and lower refinance volumes, our non-interest income benefited from the growth of our Government Guaranteed Lending Division, with SBA 7(a) sales activities contributing an additional $1 million to revenues in 2017. In addition, our average loan volumes were higher by $20 million and our average deposit volumes were higher by $19 million in 2017.'
Addressing the special tax adjustment entries, Mr. Chaffin added, 'Our recent earnings, financial condition, and continued earnings outlook were important in our analysis and timing for reversing a portion of our DTA valuation allowance. As a reminder, the DTA primarily originated from prior losses which more recently have been reducing our tax expenses and payment obligations. Our $22.6 million net DTAs represents the amount of future tax payments that we will not need to make based on reasonable estimates of our near term and long term taxable income forecasts. The protection of the tax assets should be important to all of our shareholders. A change in share ownership under federal tax laws could trigger a Section 382 limitation that would likely cause a significant increase in our valuation allowance against our tax assets. I would encourage any shareholder who may engage in a transaction that could trigger a Section 382 limitation to review our third quarter shareholder letter from November 2017 for more information.'
Mr. Chaffin concluded, '2017 reflected some of the rewards to our customers, employees and shareholders for the strategic adjustments we have made in the past few years, aided by a stronger economy. We have made significant strides in hiring new lenders within some markets and have improved our small business lending products and delivery.'
