1st Colonial Bancorp, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2020 Net Income and Announces Annual Meeting Date


1st Colonial Bancorp, Inc. (FCOB), holding company of 1st Colonial Community Bank, today reported net income of $5 thousand, or $0.00 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to net income of $845 thousand, or $0.17 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in net income is due to a $745 thousand increase in non-interest expense, mainly due to one-time expenses related to executive transition, a $558 thousand increase in the loan loss provision, and a $111 thousand decrease in net interest income, each for the reasons explained below and which offset a $286 thousand increase in non-interest income. The earnings per diluted share were adjusted to give effect to the 5% stock dividend distributed to shareholders on April 15, 2020.

Robert White, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "As we find ourselves deeply entrenched in dealing with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the health and welfare of our team members and customers are of paramount concern. We continue to take all precautions to limit the potential spread of COVID-19 while we continue to provide the products and services expected by our customers. As a result of our strong risk management culture, we launched our business continuity and pandemic plans before the stay-at-home orders were issued. Our ability to operate remotely, as well as balance the need for social distancing while in our offices, has proven to be effective and beneficial. The experience and commitment of our team members proves invaluable at our greatest time of need."

"We have worked tirelessly with our business customers on their loan applications for the Small Business Administration's ("SBA") Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"). During the first phase of the SBA program, 91% of the applications we received were approved for approximately $35.4 million. We expect to disburse $40.0 million in total PPP loans to the small businesses in our communities. Additionally, we have implemented loan payment deferral programs for our borrowers who are experiencing financial hardship as a result of the pandemic. Challenges like these will make us stronger, better, and more unified than ever before."

"During these unprecedented times, we remain very focused on executing upon our strategic initiatives. Since my joining 1st Colonial in February, we have realigned our commercial lending teams and are adding commercial and residential team members with experience, depth, and strong customer following. We continue to focus on originating high quality loans, with more emphasis on building relationships, while diversifying our loan and deposit mix. Organizational changes made during the quarter will position us well as we execute upon our strategy. As we deal with previously identified troubled credits and the uncertainty of any long-term effects of the pandemic through our risk mitigation efforts, we have increased our loan loss reserves based on qualitative factor adjustments as well as a review and segmentation of our loan portfolio based on likely impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Lastly, the increase in non-interest expense during the quarter was expected as we dealt with the leadership transition. We remain very intent on expense management as we navigate the ongoing impact of COVID-19."
