BELMONT, Mass., Feb. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- BSB Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ-BLMT) (the "Company"), the holding company for Belmont Savings Bank (the "Bank"), a state-chartered savings bank headquartered in Belmont, Massachusetts, today reported net income of $2.11 million or $0.23 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 compared to net income of $3.31 million or $0.37 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 representing a decrease of 36.3% in net income. The fourth quarter of 2017 included a one-time charge of $2.63 million, recorded within income tax expense, related to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Reform Act"). This charge resulted from the re-measurement of the Bank's deferred tax assets due to a lower future U.S corporate income tax rate. Excluding the impact of the Tax Reform Act, adjusted net income was $4.73 million or $0.51 per adjusted diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 representing an increase in adjusted net income of 43.0% compared to the fourth quarter of 2016. Excluding the impact of the Tax Reform Act, the Bank has had 18 consecutive quarters of earnings growth. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company reported net income of $14.39 million or $1.55 per diluted share as compared to net income of $11.98 million or $1.33 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2016 or an increase in net income of 20.1%. Excluding the impact of the Tax Reform Act, adjusted net income was $17.01 million or $1.84 per adjusted diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2017 representing an increase in adjusted net income of 42.0% compared to 2016. The Tax Reform Act is expected to benefit future earnings as the statutory federal income tax rate is lower beginning in 2018. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share figures are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the impact of the Tax Reform Act from net income and earnings per share. Refer to Appendix A for a reconciliation of these measures to reported results.
Robert M. Mahoney, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We completed another successful quarter and year. We continue to enjoy good loan and deposit growth while managing expenses closely. Our disciplined underwriting of loans has resulted in modest credit costs. We are well positioned to take advantage of the business opportunities that our strong local economy affords us."

BALANCE SHEET
At December 31, 2017, total assets were $2.68 billion, an increase of $517.86 million or 24.0% from $2.16 billion at December 31, 2016. The Company experienced net loan growth of $430.92 million or 23.1% from December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2017. One-to-four family residential real estate loans and commercial real estate loans increased by $335.72 million and $150.23 million, respectively. Partially offsetting these increases were a decrease in construction loans of $35.96 million and a decrease in indirect auto loans of $30.01 million. The decrease in indirect auto loans was driven by the suspension of new originations due to current market conditions. The asset growth was primarily funded by growth in deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances.
At December 31, 2017, deposits totaled $1.75 billion, an increase of $281.83 million or 19.2% from $1.47 billion at December 31, 2016. Core deposits, which we consider to include all deposits other than CDs, increased by $112.72 million or 9.9% from $1.13 billion at December 31, 2016 to $1.25 billion at December 31, 2017. Hal R. Tovin, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, said "2017 was a very strong year for deposit growth at Belmont Savings. Expansion of our Business Banking team, diligent focus on key target segments, continued success with commercial relationship expansion and consistent retail deposit product development and marketing were key factors in driving this performance."
Total stockholders' equity increased by $17.11 million or 10.6% from $160.92 million as of December 31, 2016 to $178.03 million as of December 31, 2017. This increase is primarily the result of earnings of $14.39 million and a $2.58 million increase in additional paid-in capital related to stock-based compensation.
