InsCorp's 3rd Quarter Earnings Driven by Loan & Margin Growth
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- InsCorp, Inc. (OTCQX:IBTN) in Nashville, and parent company of INSBANK, today reported third quarter earnings of $1,626,000, or $0.55 per share compared to $343,000 and $0.11 per share for the same period in 2020. Year-to-date earnings were $4,286,000, or $1.46 per share, which was a 164% increase over the prior year of $1,624,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This was the company's most profitable 3rd quarter interim performance in its history. INSBANK's cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 17 basis points during the quarter, continuing a trend for the Nashville-based lender as term deposits have repriced during the year. This, along with recognition of Paycheck Protection Program-related fees, contributed to a 21 basis point increase in net interest margin during the quarter.
Core loans, excluding PPP advances, increased $35.6 million during the quarter, driven by growth of the bank's niche medical division, Medquity, as well as commercial real estate loans. Loans, excluding PPP advances, were up more than 17% over the last 12 months, while total loans have grown 10% during the same period. "Our team remains focused on executing our strategy of balanced organic growth, both locally and within our nationwide physician-focused silos," said Jim Rieniets, President and CEO of INSBANK.
The company continues to derive benefit from its investments in technology, as evidenced by its operating efficiency and personnel leverage. The bank's measures of: efficiency ratio, operating expenses as a percentage of assets, and assets per employee all continue to compare favorably to its industry peer group and place it in the top quartile of those performance metrics. "Acceleration of digital trends by the pandemic has many community banks scrambling to find their place in the future of our industry," continued Rieniets. "A focus on fintech is not a bandwagon phenomenon at INSBANK; it's been a part of our DNA since the bank was founded over 20 years ago."
The board of directors also recently approved the payment of a semi-annual dividend. InsCorp shareholders of record November 19, 2021, will receive a $0.12 dividend payable on December 10, 2021. "While most of our earnings are needed to support the bank's growth, we're pleased to enhance our shareholders' value with a dividend yield," added Michael Qualls, Chairman of InsCorp.
