First Defiance Financial Corp.
(NASDAQ: FDEF) announced today its unaudited financial results for
the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019. Net
income for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019, totaled
$13.2 million, or $0.66 per diluted common share compared to $11.3
million or $0.55 per diluted common share for the quarter ended
September 30, 2018. Net income for the nine months ended September
30, 2019, totaled $36.9 million, or $1.85 per diluted common share
compared to $34.2 million or $1.67 per diluted common share for the
quarter ended September 30, 2018. The year-to-year comparison is
impacted by the current year’s results, including merger-related
costs, which had an after tax cost of $427,000, or $0.02 per
diluted share.
“Our third quarter results reflect our company’s continued high
financial performance,” said Donald P. Hileman, President and Chief
Executive Officer of First Defiance Financial Corp. “With earnings
per share up 20% from the third quarter last year, our shareholders
were delivered excellent results as we grew our balance sheet and
maintained strong profitability.”
Net Interest Income up Compared to Third Quarter 2018
Net interest income of $28.9 million in the third quarter of
2019 was up from $27.5 million in the third quarter of 2018. The
increase was primarily due to the growth in earning assets offset
partly by compression in the net interest margin versus the third
quarter last year. The net interest margin was 3.88% for the third
quarter of 2019, down from 4.03% in the second quarter of 2019 and
4.00% in the third quarter of 2018. Yield on interest earning
assets increased by 15 basis points, to 4.78% in the third quarter
of 2019 from 4.63% in the third quarter of 2018. The cost of
interest-bearing liabilities increased by 35 basis points in the
third quarter of 2019 to 1.20% from 0.85% in the third quarter of
2018.
“Our solid loan and core deposit growth helped generate growth
in net interest income despite margin compression,” said Hileman.
“Year-to-date loan growth was 6.6% annualized while deposit growth
was 7.1%. This growth combined with a net interest margin that
remains healthy for the quarter produced a 5% increase in our net
interest income over the third quarter last year.”
Non-Interest Income up from Third Quarter 2018
First Defiance’s non-interest income for the third quarter of
2019 was $11.8 million compared with $9.9 million in the third
quarter of 2018. The third quarter of 2019 included gains of
$11,000 from the sale of securities compared to gains of $76,000 in
the third quarter of 2018. Results for the third quarter of 2019
included $325,000 of BOLI income death benefit whereas the third
quarter of 2018 included no BOLI income death benefit. Total income
from BOLI was $783,000 in the third quarter of 2019, up from
$399,000 in the third quarter of 2018.
Mortgage banking income was $2.8 million in the third quarter of
2019, up from $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2018. Mortgage
originations totaled $126.9 million in the third quarter of 2019
compared to $74.0 million in the same quarter last year. As a
result of the higher volumes, gains from the sale of mortgage loans
increased in the third quarter of 2019 to $2.6 million from $1.3
million in the third quarter of 2018. Mortgage loan servicing
revenue was $960,000 in the third quarter of 2019, up from $929,000
in the third quarter of 2018, and amortization of mortgage
servicing rights increased to $579,000 from $340,000 in the third
quarter last year. Valuation adjustments in the third quarter of
2019 were a negative $155,000 compared to a positive $8,000 in the
third quarter of 2018.
Service fees and other charges were $4.0 million in the third
quarter of 2019, up from $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2018.
Insurance commissions and trust income for the third quarters 2019
and 2018 were consistent year over year at $3.3 million and $0.5
million, respectively.
“Key business lines drove our 16% growth in non-interest income
over the third quarter last year, excluding BOLI death benefits,”
said Hileman. “This growth was led by a 50% increase in mortgage
banking and a 21% increase in services fees year over year.”
Non-Interest Expenses up from Third Quarter 2018
Total non-interest expense was $23.2 million in the third
quarter of 2019, an increase from $22.3 million in the third
quarter of 2018. Compensation and benefits increased to $14.1
million in the third quarter of 2019, compared to $12.9 million in

third quarter of 2019, compared to $2.2 million and $2.2 million,
respectively, in the third quarter of 2018. Other non-interest
expense of $4.1 million in the third quarter of 2019 was up from
$4.0 million in the third quarter of 2018. FDIC insurance premiums
were a credit of $255,000 in the third quarter of 2019 compared to
an expense of $255,000 in the third quarter of 2018 due to the
receipt of small bank assessment credits. In addition,
merger-related costs totaled $540,000 in the third quarter of 2019
compared to none in the prior year.

Non-performing loans totaled $14.7 million at September 30,
2019, a decrease from $20.9 million at September 30, 2018. In
addition, First Defiance had no real estate owned at September 30,
2019, compared to $1.7 million at September 30, 2018. Accruing
troubled debt restructured loans were $10.3 million at September
30, 2019, compared with $12.6 million at September 30, 2018.
The third quarter 2019 results include net charge-offs of
$11,000 and a provision for loan losses of $1.3 million compared
with net charge-offs of $1.1 million and a provision of $1.4
million for the same period in 2018. The allowance for loan loss as
a percentage of total loans was 1.13% at September 30, 2019,
consistent with 1.13% at September 30, 2018.
“We continue to be pleased with the steady improvement in our
non-performing assets,” said Hileman. “Total non-performing assets
including troubled debt restructurings declined 29% from last year,
now representing only 0.74% of assets compared to 1.18% a year
ago.”
