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.
