MSB FINANCIAL CORP. RELEASES FOURTH QUARTER EARNINGS
 
Millington, New Jersey, February 12, 2016 – MSB Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: MSBF) (the “Company”) parent company of Millington Bank, reported today the results of its operations for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015.  The results of operations reflect the results of operations of MSB Financial Corp., a federal corporation (“Old MSB”) which was merged with and into the Company on July 16, 2015 upon completion of the second-step conversion transaction.
 
The Company reported net income of $2,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2015, compared to a net loss of $9,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014. Net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was $443,000 compared to net income of $707,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. Net income for the quarter and the full year 2015 reflect the impact of $457,000 of charges related to the conversion from the Company’s existing core data processor as previously disclosed. In addition, the Company recorded expense of approximately $60,000 related to the conversion from its current website provider.
 
Net income per diluted common share was zero for both the three months ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Net income per diluted common share was $0.08 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 compared to $0.13 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.
 
Total assets were $375.7 million at December 31, 2015, compared to $340.3 million at December 31, 2014, an increase of $35.4 million or 10.4%. On July 16, 2015, the Company sold 3,766,592 shares of its common stock (including 150,663 shares sold to the Bank’s employee stock ownership plan) at $10.00 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $37.7 million. In addition, 2,187,242 shares were issued to former holders of the common stock of Old MSB (other than the MHC) in exchange for such shares at a per share exchange ratio of 1.1397 with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. During 2015, the Company experienced growth of $30.9 million or 13.3%, in loans receivable, net. Commercial and multi-family real estate loans had the most growth during 2015 as the Company continues to diversify its loan portfolio.

Other real estate owned (OREO) was reduced to zero as of December 31, 2015 compared to $1.3 million at December 31, 2014.

Total deposits at December 31, 2015 were $262.6 million compared with $266.1 million at December 31, 2014.  Overall, deposits decreased by $3.5 million; however, non-interest-bearing balances increased by $3.3 million while interest-bearing deposits declined $6.8 million year-over-year as the Company focused on deposit pricing and the development of deeper customer relationships. Within non-interest-bearing accounts, growth was experienced in business checking accounts.  Savings and club account growth combined to offset some of the decrease in certificates of deposit during the quarter.

“The year 2015 was a transformative one for the organization.  During the course of the year the Company undertook several significant transformations beginning with the adoption of a December fiscal year end, the expansion of an experienced management team and the successful completion of the Company’s stock offering and transition to a fully publicly held institution”, stated Michael A. Shriner, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “Our staff is working diligently on a core system conversion that is expected to provide a more efficient and effective delivery system for our products and services to position us in the proper direction toward achieving our goal of becoming a high performing organization.  Additionally, our transition to a managed IT function has provided for a stronger infrastructure and has assisted us greatly in managing the increasing risk of cybersecurity.”
 
Mr. Shriner added, “During 2015, our efforts related to loan production were substantial as well as our management of nonperforming assets indicated by the lack of OREO properties at December 31, 2015.  Non-performing loans to total loans were 2.29% at December 31, 2015 compared to 2.57% at December 31, 2014.
 
“We are pleased to welcome two new experienced directors to our boards this quarter. Together with the board, Millington Bank and its employees are driven to deliver on the Vision that has been defined with Integrity and Passion” Mr. Shriner concluded.
