BELOIT, Wis., July 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Blackhawk Bancorp, Inc. (OTCBB: BHWB) today reported earnings of $745,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, a 70% increase compared to $439,000 earned in the second quarter of 2011.  For the six months ended June 30, 2012 the company's net income was $1,423,000, a 32% increase compared to $1,078,000 earned the first six months of 2011.  Growth in mortgage banking revenue and other non-interest income more than offset increases in the provision for loan losses for both the quarter and six month period ended June 30, 2012.

Earnings per diluted share for the quarter increased $0.13, or 108%, to $0.27 compared to $0.13 per diluted share the second quarter of 2011. For the first half of 2012 the company earned $0.50 per diluted share, a 47% increase compared to the $0.34 per diluted share earned the first half of 2011.  The company had total assets of $557.9 million at June 30, 2012, a $1.1 million decrease compared to $559.0 million at December 31, 2011. 

"We are extremely pleased to be reporting another quarter of positive earnings," said Rick Bastian, president & CEO.  "Growth in mortgage banking revenue and other non-interest income has allowed us to increase profitability despite heavy additions to the provision for loan losses as we vigorously address asset quality issues," he added.    

The following table summarizes key performance and asset quality measures for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared to the previous four quarters.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the second quarter increased 1% to $4,809,000 compared to $4,783,000 in the second quarter 2011.  Average total earning assets for the second quarter increased by $13.0 million to $524.2 compared to $511.2 million in the second quarter of 2011.  The growth in earning assets includes an $18.0 million, or 5%, increase in average total loans, which was partially offset with a net decrease in available for sale securities and other short term investments.  The net interest margin realized on earning assets decreased 3 basis points to 3.80% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared to 3.83% for the second quarter of 2011. 

Average total deposits for the second quarter increased by $14.1 million, or 3%, to $487.7 million compared to $473.6 million the second quarter of last year.  The increase in average total deposits includes a $37.1 million, or 11%, increase in average non-maturity deposits such as demand deposit, interest checking, savings and money market accounts, which was offset by a $23.0 million decrease in the average balance of certificates of deposits.  The majority of the reduction in average certificates of deposits is due to the maturity or call of brokered deposits.   In addition, strong deposit growth continues to reduce reliance on borrowings, with the average balance of borrowings declining by $5.6 million.          

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased by $145,000, or 2%, to $9,500,000 compared to $9,645,000 for the first half of 2011.   Average total earning assets for the first half of the 2012 increased by $12.1 million to $520.8 million compared to $508.7 million for the first half of 2011.  The earning asset growth included a $12.5 million, or 4%, increase in average loans.  The net interest margin for the first six months of 2012 declined by 13 basis points to 3.77% compared to 3.90% for the first half of last year.

Average total deposits for the first half of 2012 increased by $8.2 million, or 2%, to $484.8 million compared to $476.6 million in the first six months of 2011.  The increase in average total deposits includes an increase of $30.3 million, or 9%, in average non-maturity deposits such as demand deposit, interest checking, savings and money market accounts.  The increase in average non-maturity deposits was partially offset with a $22.1 million reduction in average certificates of deposit.  The majority of the reduction in average certificates of deposit is due to the maturity or call of brokered deposits. 

Non-Interest Income and Operating Expenses

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2012 increased by $1,004,000, or 53%, to $2,916,000 compared to $1,912,000 the second quarter of the prior year.  The increase was attributable to a $646,000 increase in mortgage banking revenues.  Other increases in non-interest income include a $283,000 increase in the net gain on sale of securities and other trading activity.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012 noninterest income increased $1,695,000 to $5,472,000 compared to $3,777,000 the first half of 2011.  The increase includes a $1,051,000 increase in mortgage banking revenue and a $393,000 increase in the gain on sale of securities and other trading activity.              

Operating expenses for the second quarter increased $295,000, or 6%, to $5,297,000 compared to $5,002,000 in the second quarter of 2011.  For the six months ended June 30, 2012 operating expenses increased by $522,000, or 5% to $10,459,000 compared to $9,937,000 the first half of 2011.  The increase in operating expenses for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 was due to increased compensation expense, reflecting increased variable compensation related to mortgage production, an increase in the cost of employee health benefits and staff additions in the business banking area.   

Provision for Loan Losses and Credit Quality

The provision for loan losses in the second quarter increased by $386,000, or 33%, to $1,540,000 compared to $1,154,000 in second quarter 2011.   For the six months ended June 30, 2012 the provision for loan losses increased by $746,000, or 36%, to $2,800,000 compared to $2,054,000 for the first half of 2011.  The company had net loan charge-offs of $2,665,000 in the first six months of 2012, compared to $2,128,000 for the first half of 2011.  Nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned totaled $13.4 million, or 3.76% of total loans, at June 30, 2012 compared to $15.1 million, or 4.41% of total loans, at March 31, 2011, and $13.9 million, or 4.11% of total loans, at December 31, 2011.

Outlook

Blackhawk has created a strong credit culture and the processes to support it; however, the economic recession and depressed real estate values have resulted in an elevated level of nonperforming loans. The level of nonperforming loans and the potential for continuing economic weakness presents a heightened level of risk.  For that reason the company expects to continue fortifying its balance sheet by conserving capital, strengthening the allowance for loan losses and maintaining ample liquidity to meet the demands of its customer base.  The company will however continue to seek profitable growth opportunities in its Wisconsin and Illinois markets, without sacrificing profitability or credit quality. Blackhawk emphasizes the value of its personal attention and the service it provides that remain unmatched by larger competitors.
