Third Century Bancorp (“Company”) (OTCBB: TDCB), the holding company for Mutual Savings Bank (“Bank”) announced it had net income of $178,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, or $0.14 per share, compared to net income of $19,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, or $0.01 per share. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded net income of $399,000, or $0.31 per share, compared to net income of $311,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013, or $0.24 per share.

For the three months ended December 31, 2014, net income increased $159,000 to $178,000 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in net income for the fourth quarter of 2014 was primarily the result of a decrease of $118,000 in the provision for loan losses and a $149,000 decrease in noninterest expenses.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, net income increased $88,000, or 28.3%, to $399,000 compared to 2013. The increase in net income for 2014 was primarily a result of a $127,000 decrease in the provision for loan losses and a $149,000 decrease in noninterest expenses. The improvement in the provision for loan losses for both the quarter and year ended December 31, 2014 was caused by a credit to the provision for loan losses of $118,000 and $115,000, respectively, which was a result of improved credit quality within the loan portfolio. The improvement in noninterest expenses for both the quarter and year ended December 31, 2014 were driven by cost reductions, including the closing of one branch facility during 2014.

Total assets decreased $542,000 to $123.1 million at December 31, 2014 from $123.7 million at December 31, 2013, a decrease of 0.43%. The decrease was primarily due to a $2.4 million decrease in total loans outstanding.
