- Earnings per diluted share of $0.63 for 2019 fourth quarter, up
from $0.59 per share in the 2018 fourth quarter
- Net income of $12.5 million for 2019 fourth quarter, compared
to $12.1 million in the 2018 fourth quarter
- Loan growth of $112 million during the 2019 fourth quarter
- Deposit growth of $110 million during the 2019 fourth
quarter
- Non-performing loans of $13.5 million for 2019 fourth quarter,

First Defiance Financial Corp.
(NASDAQ: FDEF) announced today that net income for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2019, totaled $49.4 million, or $2.48 per
diluted common share, compared to $46.2 million, or $2.26 per
diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2018. For the
fourth quarter of 2019, First Defiance earned $12.5 million, or
$0.63 per diluted common share, compared to $12.1 million, or
$0.59 per diluted common share for the fourth quarter of 2018. The
fourth quarter of 2018 results included an increase of $806,000
pre-tax ($636,000 after-tax), or $0.03 per diluted share, from an
immaterial accounting correction related to the company’s deferred
compensation plan. The year-over-year comparisons are impacted by
merger-related costs in the current year’s results, which had an
after-tax cost of $1.1 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the
full year and $697,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the fourth
quarter.
“With fourth quarter earnings
per share up 12% over last year, excluding merger costs, we are
proud to announce record earnings performance for our seventh
consecutive year,” said Donald P. Hileman, President and Chief
Executive Officer of First Defiance. “Our balance sheet and
earnings growth, along with continued asset quality improvement,
allowed us to finish the year strong. We are pleased with our
position as we start 2020 and prepared to close our strategic
merger with United Community Financial Corp.”
Net interest income up compared to fourth quarter
2018
Net interest income of $29.5 million in the fourth quarter of
2019 was up from $28.5 million in the fourth 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 fourth
quarter last year. The net interest margin was 3.80% for the fourth
quarter, down from 3.88% for the third quarter of 2019 and 4.02% in
the fourth quarter of 2018. Yield on interest earning assets
decreased by six basis points, to 4.67% in the fourth quarter of
2019 from 4.73% in the fourth quarter of 2018. The cost of
interest-bearing liabilities increased by 20 basis points in the
fourth quarter of 2019 to 1.15% from 0.95% in the fourth quarter of
2018.
“Our solid loan and core deposit growth helped generate an
increase in net interest income despite margin compression,” said
Hileman. “Annualized growth rates of 17% for loans and 16% for
deposits in the fourth quarter provided the momentum we like to see
as we begin a new year.”
Non-interest income up from fourth quarter 2018
First Defiance’s non-interest income for the fourth quarter of
2019 was $11.8 million compared to $8.4 million in the fourth
quarter of 2018. Results for the fourth quarter of 2019 included a
$324,000 increase in deferred compensation plan assets compared to
a $690,000 decrease for the same period in 2018 due to stock market
performance.
Mortgage banking income was $2.7 million in the fourth quarter
of 2019, up from $1.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 due to
higher volumes. Mortgage originations totaled $106.5 million in the
fourth quarter of 2019 compared to $60.9 million in the same
quarter last year. As a result of the higher volumes, gains from
the sale of mortgage loans increased in the fourth quarter of 2019
to $2.0 million from $758,000 in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Mortgage loan servicing revenue was $978,000 in the fourth quarter
of 2019, consistent with $978,000 in the fourth quarter of 2018.
First Defiance had a positive change in the valuation adjustment in
mortgage servicing assets of $223,000 in the fourth quarter of 2019
compared to a positive adjustment of $41,000 in the fourth quarter
of 2018.
For the fourth quarter of 2019, service fees and other charges
were $3.7 million, up from $3.3 million in the fourth quarter of
2018; and commissions from the sale of insurance products were $3.1
million, consistent with $3.1 million in the fourth quarter of
2018. Trust income was $746,000 in the fourth quarter of 2019, up
from $503,000 in the fourth quarter of 2018. The fourth quarter of
2019 included gains of $13,000 from the sale of securities compared
to gains of $97,000 in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Other non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2019 was a
positive $1.1 million compared to a negative $494,000 for the
fourth quarter of 2018, primarily due to the change in deferred
compensation plan assets described above. Excluding the impact of
this item, other non-interest income for fourth quarter 2019 would
be $767,000 compared to $196,000 in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Non-interest expenses up from fourth quarter 2018
Non-interest expense totaled $24.8 million in the fourth quarter
of 2019 compared to $21.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2018.
The comparison includes a one-time $806,000 reduction in expenses
from the accounting correction to the company’s deferred
compensation plan in the fourth quarter of 2018. Additionally, the
fourth quarter of 2019 included a $321,000 increase in deferred
compensation plan expense compared to a $1.3 million decrease in
the fourth quarter of 2018 due to stock market performance in the
relative periods.
Compensation and benefits in the fourth quarter of 2019 was
$14.6 million, an increase of $1.1 million compared to the fourth
quarter of 2018. Occupancy expense was $2.3 million in the fourth
quarter of 2019, down $113,000 from the fourth quarter of 2018.
Data processing cost was $1.8 million in the fourth quarter of
2019, down $443,000 from the fourth quarter of 2018. In addition,
acquisition-related costs totaled $882,000 in the fourth quarter of
2019 compared to none in the prior year.
Other non-interest expense was $4.2 million in the fourth
quarter of 2019 compared to $2.0 million (or $2.8 million excluding
the benefit from the deferred compensation accounting correction)
in the fourth quarter of 2018. Additionally, results for the fourth
quarter of 2018 included a $1,052,000 decrease in deferred
compensation plan liabilities compared to a $321,000 increase for
the same period in 2019 due to stock market performance. Excluding
the impact of these items, other non-interest expense for fourth
quarter 2019 would be $3.9 million compared to $3.9 million in the
fourth quarter of 2018.
Credit quality
Non-performing loans totaled $13.5 million at December 31, 2019,
a decrease from $19.0 million at December 31, 2018. In addition,
real estate owned totaled $100,000 at December 31, 2019, down from
$1.2 million at December 31, 2018. Accruing troubled debt
restructured loans were $8.4 million at December 31, 2019, a
decrease from $11.6 million at December 31, 2018.
The fourth quarter of 2019 results include net charge-offs of
$91,000 and a provision for loan losses of $1.1 million compared
with net recoveries of $220,000 and a provision of $472,000 for the
same period in 2018. The allowance for loan loss as a percentage of
total loans was 1.12% at December 31, 2019, compared with 1.13% at
September 30, 2019, and 1.12% at December 31, 2018.
“Our non-performing assets to total assets at year-end improved
significantly from the prior year to 0.39%, and net recoveries were
$7,000 in 2019,” said Hileman. “A heightened, strategic focus in
asset quality played a significant role in this achievement. A
continuation of these efforts in 2020 is anticipated to lead to
additional reductions in our non-performing assets.”
