EVANSVILLE, Ind. - Oct. 26, 2018 - PRLog -- First Bancorp of Indiana, Inc. (OTCBB:FBPI), the holding company for First Federal Savings Bank, reported earnings of $405,000 for the first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2018, compared to $438,000 for the same quarter a year ago.

Net interest income for quarter ended September 30, 2018, improved 4.7% from the same quarter last fiscal year as the net loan portfolio grew $18.5 million, or 6.8%, over the intervening 12 months.  Noninterest income was $221,000 below the year-ago quarter due to reduced sales of single-family residential mortgage loans, the discontinuation of a securities brokerage relationship, and several non-recurring items recorded last year.  Lower legal fees were largely responsible for the modest decrease in noninterest expenses between the comparative quarters.

At approximately 8.4%, First Federal's tier one leverage ratio was well in excess of the five percent regulatory standard for "well-capitalized" financial institutions.  The bank's other capital measurements also continue to comfortably exceed "well-capitalized" standards.  In addition, First Bancorp has paid a dividend of 15.5 cents per outstanding share for 42 consecutive quarters.

In addition, John Zeidler, President and owner of Tri-State Aero, was welcomed to the First Bancorp and First Federal boards of directors during the recent quarter.
