Blackhawk Bancorp Announces First Quarter 2013 Results
BELOIT, Wis., April 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Blackhawk Bancorp, Inc. (OTCBB: BHWB) today reported earnings of $583,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, a 14% decrease compared to $678,000 earned in the first quarter of 2012. Earnings per diluted share for the quarter decreased $0.05 to $0.19 compared to $0.24 the first quarter of 2012. The company saw improvements in net interest income and the provision for loan losses, which were more than offset by a decline in non-interest income. The decline in non-interest income was primarily due to a slow-down in mortgage refinance activity, and a reduction in the net gain on sale of securities and other assets. "Our net interest income and other recurring revenues have held up well despite pressure from intense competition for high quality loans and the pro-longed low interest rate environment," said Rick Bastian, the company's president and CEO. "The historically high provision for loan losses continues to be the primary drag on our earnings, however we're making progress in our efforts to reduce problem assets," he added.

Outlook
Blackhawk has created a strong credit culture and the processes to support it; however, the economic recession and depressed real estate values have resulted in an elevated level of nonperforming loans. The level of nonperforming loans and the potential for continuing economic weakness presents a heightened level of risk. For that reason the company expects to continue fortifying its balance sheet by conserving capital, strengthening the allowance for loan losses and maintaining ample liquidity to meet the demands of its customer base. The company will however continue to seek profitable growth opportunities in its Wisconsin and Illinois markets, without sacrificing profitability or credit quality. Blackhawk emphasizes the value of its personal attention and the service it provides that remain unmatched by larger competitors.
