CHARLES TOWN, W.Va., April 26, 2016
CHARLES TOWN, W.Va., April 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- For the quarter ended March 31, 2016, Potomac Bancshares, Inc. (OTC-QB: PTBS) earned $488 thousand or 15 cents per share compared to $559 thousand or 16 cents a share in the quarter ended March 31, 2015. Net income was down compared to the first quarter of last year due to the costs of upgrading customers' EMV Chip Enabled Debit Cards, costs associated with good loan production during the first quarter, and loan loss provision to keep up with the increased loan volume. During 2016, we expect to continue to collect on the principal balance of loans that had been charged off several years ago. This will allow us to continue to build our loan loss reserve and in turn take smaller loan provisions during the remainder of the year "barring" anything unforeseen. Credit quality continues to improve as non-performing assets are less than 1% of outstanding loans.
Given the bank's performance and good capital position, the dividend of 6 cents per share for the second quarter was approved at the April board meeting to all shareholders of record on April 25, 2016. This cash dividend will be paid on May 2, 2016.
Stock was not repurchased during the first quarter of 2016. President and CEO, Robert F. Baronner Jr. said, "We will continue to repurchase our stock from time to time as it is still trading at a substantial discount to book value. In our opinion and in many others, banks that made it through the last recession and survived, offer good value for investors especially common stocks that offer competitive cash dividends."
In June, we will be moving from our existing location in Middleburg, Virginia to a new building, also in Middleburg, that will upgrade our presence in the town and enable us to improve profitability in the market.
Things continue to look bright in the markets we operate in. Based on the dividend we have been paying and the trading price of our stock, the taxable yield has been nearly 3%.
