PEMBROKE, NC / ACCESSWIRE / May 6, 2020 / For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, Lumbee Guaranty Bank (OTCQX:LUMB) ("Lumbee" or "Bank"), reported net income of $722,000, or earnings per share of $0.21, compared to net income of $820,000, or earnings per share of $0.24, for the same period in 2019. As of the quarter-end, Lumbee reported assets of $341.8 million, a slight increase of 0.3% over assets of $340.9 million as of March 31, 2019. Loans were up 7.5% to $197.3 million, compared to loans of $182.5 million reported March 31, 2019. Deposits fell to $288.5 million at March 31, 2020, a decrease of 1.8% from March 31, 2019 deposits of $293.8 million. Capital levels remained healthy, as shareholders equity totaled $42.6 million, or 12.46% of assets at March 31, 2020, versus $39.0 million, or 11.44% of assets at the year-ago date.

In the first quarter of 2020, noninterest income grew 4.5% to $532,000 from $509,000 in the year-ago quarter, as both income from deposit service charges and other noninterest income rose. Noninterest expense grew a modest 2.6% to $2.81 million the quarter ending March 31, 2020 from $2.74 million in the year-ago quarter; however, it was down from $2.85 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. At March 31, 2020, the Bank reported nonperforming assets (including nonaccruing loans, loans more than 90 days past due and still accruing, and OREO) of $4.6 million, or 1.35% of total assets, down from $4.7 million, or 1.35% of total assets, at the end of 2019, and down 16% from $5.5 million, or 1.62% of total assets, at the year-ago date.

"The first quarter was a busy one." said Kyle R. Chavis, Chief Executive Officer of Lumbee. "We were able to open our Hay Street branch in Fayetteville, and we achieved solid loan growth across our three-county primary market area. As we began to feel the effects of COVID-19 in mid-March, we shifted our focus to protecting the health and safety of our customers and employees while continuing to provide needed financial services to the communities of southeastern NC." Chavis further stated, "Our robust capital position and strong liquidity levels will enable us to continue to meet the needs of our customers during this unprecedented health crisis. Our team is committed to making a difference in the lives of our friends and neighbors in the communities that we serve."
