First Bancorp of Indiana, Inc. Announces Financial Results

EVANSVILLE, Ind. - EntSun -- First Bancorp of Indiana, Inc., (OTCBB:FBPI), the holding company for First Federal Savings Bank, reported earnings of $519,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, compared to net income of $832,000 in the same quarter last year.  Similarly, earnings of $920,000 for the first half of fiscal 2020 were down from $1.2 million last fiscal year-to-date.  The results partly reflect margin compression traced to the 75 basis points of cuts to the Prime rate since the beginning of fiscal 2020.  In addition, the prior-year quarter included $227,000 of noninterest income from the successful resolution of a troubled loan.  Compensation and data processing costs were the greatest contributors to the 3.5% increase in noninterest expenses between the comparative six-month periods.
