INSBANK Parent, InsCorp, Inc., Reports Quarterly Earnings

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Inscorp, Inc., parent company of INSBANK, today reported 3^rd quarter earnings of $343,000 or $0.11 per share. Quarterly earnings for the Nashville-based lender were down $783,000, or $0.27 per share, versus those of the same period the prior year. Contributing to this decline, the bank added $750,000 to its provision for loan loss reserves during the quarter, compared to $125,000 in the same period the prior year.  A decline in net interest margin, primarily due to a full quarter of Paycheck Protection Program loans yielding 1%, also contributed to reduced operating earnings.  Year-to-date earnings totaled $1,624,000, or $0.55 per share.

"Pandemic effects remain the financial story of the last couple quarters, with margin having declined and loan loss reserves being built up," said Jim Rieniets, President & CEO of INSBANK. "Fortunately, our deposit portfolio is steadily repricing downward and loan yields are stabilizing, so we expect margin to improve in the near term. While we expect to continue growth of our loan loss reserve, loan deferments and modifications actually decreased during the quarter and portfolio stress testing gives us confidence in moving ahead with our organic growth plans," Rieniets continued.   

Previously announced fintech initiatives, INSBANK Online and Medquity, both became operational during the quarter. INSBANK Online is a fully-digital deposit platform available to depositors in Nashville and beyond.  The bank began gathering new deposits thru this channel, which it promotes as providing a virtual private client experience with a dedicated service team. Medquity's web-based medical student loan refinance program also went live during the quarter and the bank made its first loans thru the automated platform.

"We're really excited about our fintech ventures, both of which address long-term strategic needs for a community bank in a rapidly changing world. While these convenience and technology-driven platforms are niche business lines today, they will likely expand over time and become a bigger part of our core operations," said Jim Rieniets, President & CEO of INSBANK.

• Yield on loans was 4.16% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 5.50% for the same period in 2019.
