WATSEKA, Ill.--()--IF Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: IROQ) (the “Company”), the holding company for Iroquois Federal Savings and Loan Association (the “Association”), announced unaudited net income of $1.3 million, or $0.44 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $1.1 million, or $0.33 per basic share and diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, net interest income was $4.9 million compared to $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The provision for loan losses increased to $315,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, from $(54,000) for the three months ended September 30, 2019, mostly due to loan growth and a change in loan portfolio mix. We also added reserves for all loans that remain under temporary COVID-19 modifications. The increase in reserves was partially offset by the addition of SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans that do not require a reserve since they are 100% guaranteed by the U.S. government. As of September 30, 2020, we closed 304 SBA PPP loans representing $26.3 million in funding.

Interest income decreased to $6.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, from $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Interest expense decreased to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, from $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Our interest income could be reduced in the future due to COVID-19. In keeping with guidance from regulators, we are executing payment deferrals for our lending clients that are adversely affected by the pandemic. A total of 181 loans with current balances of $83.1 million have received COVID-19 modifications. These modifications allowed borrowers to pay interest only for up to six months. As of September 30, 2020, 58 of these loans totaling $26.4 million have returned to principal and interest payments, leaving 123 loans for $56.7 million still under temporary modifications.

Non-interest income increased to $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, from $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in non-interest income was mostly due to an increase in gain on sale of loans as a result of a significant increase in refinance activity stimulated by a low interest environment, and also by an increase in gain on sale of available-for-sale securities. Non-interest expense increased to $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, from $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, income tax expense totaled $512,000 compared to $415,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Total assets at September 30, 2020 were $726.0 million compared to $735.5 million at June 30, 2020. Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $15.7 million at September 30, 2020, from $33.5 million at June 30, 2020. Investment securities decreased to $161.3 million at September 30, 2020, from $162.4 million at June 30, 2020. Net loans receivable increased to $518.2 million at September 30, 2020, from $509.8 million at June 30, 2020. Deposits were $601.7 million at both September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020. Total borrowings, including repurchase agreements, decreased to $31.4 million at September 30, 2020 from $41.2 million at June 30, 2020. Stockholders’ equity increased to $83.5 million at September 30, 2020 from $82.6 million at June 30, 2020.
