First Bancorp of Indiana, Inc. Announces Financial Results

EVANSVILLE, Ind. - Aug. 20, 2018 - PRLog -- First Bancorp of Indiana, Inc., (OTCBB:FBPI), the holding company for First Federal Savings Bank, reported earnings of $1.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, up 18.8% from the preceding fiscal year.  Interest income improved 8.3% in fiscal 2018 as net loans grew $25.1 million, or 9.8%.  Despite upward market pressures, total funding costs increased only marginally as certain higher cost borrowings matured early in fiscal 2018.  Noninterest income was down 5.6% this past year due, in part, to reduced rental income and the termination of the securities brokerage relationship.  Noninterest expenses for fiscal 2018 were 9.4% greater than the prior year with compensation and benefits responsible for the majority of the additional costs.

At approximately 8.4%, First Federal's tier one capital ratio at June 30, 2018, was well in excess of the five percent regulatory standard for "well-capitalized" financial institutions.  The bank's other capital measurements also continue to comfortably exceed "well-capitalized" standards.  In addition, First Bancorp has paid a cash dividend of 15.5 cents per outstanding share for 41 consecutive quarters.
