BILOXI, Miss., July 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Peoples Financial Corporation (NASDAQ Capital Market: PFBX), parent of The Peoples Bank, reported net income of $61,000 for the second quarter of 2016, compared to a net loss of $1,605,000 for the second quarter of 2015, announced Chevis C. Swetman, chairman and chief executive officer of the holding company and the bank.
Financial results for the second quarter of 2016 reflected the company's continued progress in realizing its strategic objectives for long-term financial performance. The provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2016 decreased to $24,000 compared to $1,536,000 for the same period the prior year. The significant decrease in the loan loss provision over the prior year was primarily related to the resolution of several commercial real estate development loans and the reduction of non-performing loans. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 2.18% as of June 30, 2016 as compared to 2.64% as of June 30, 2015.
For the second quarter of 2016, loan charge-offs decreased substantially to $666,000 from $1,989,000 for the same period the prior year. As of June 30, 2016, Other Real Estate ("ORE") was $8,737,000 compared to $11,762,000 as of June 30, 2015.
"We are very pleased with the significant asset quality improvement during the second quarter," said Swetman. "Our financial results illustrate our commitment to enhancing the company's long-term financial success," he added.
Earnings per weighted average share for second quarter of 2016 were $0.01, compared to a loss of $0.32 per weighted average share in the second quarter of 2015. Per share figures are based on weighted average common shares outstanding of 5,123,186 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015.
The Company's primary capital ratio increased to 15.36% as of June 30, 2016, compared to 14.90% at the end of the same period in 2015.
