Dear Fellow Shareholders, This 2018 report to shareholders marks twenty-five years of service for KS Bancorp, Inc. and it’s subsidiary, KS Bank, Inc. On April 28, 2019, KS Bank will celebrate ninety-five years of service to the communities we serve. In addition to those time achievements, reaching the milestone of consolidated assets of $400 million and Net Income of $3.5 million, makes 2018 a truly record year. For the year ended December 31, 2018, KS Bancorp reported net income of $3.5 million, or $3.00 per diluted share, an increase of 72.0% compared to 2017 results. During 2017 KS Bancorp had a one-time non-cash charge related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Acts of 2017. Excluding that charge and comparing 2018 to 2017 the increase in net income would has been 26.5%. Total assets increased by $26.8 million, or 7.2%, to $400.4 million at December 31, 2018. Net loan balances increased by $9.6 million, or 3.4%, to $295.6 million at December 31, 2018 compared to $286.0 million at December 31, 2017. Total deposits increased $33.8 million, or 11.4%, to $330.4 million at December 31, 2018, compared to $296.6 million at December 31, 2017. Total shareholders’ equity decreased from $26.3 million at December 31, 2017 to $22.1 million at December 31, 2018, as a result of accumulated other comprehensive losses and stock repurchases. Much of what is written in annual reports reflects past history, what was accomplished in the past year, compared to other past years. That is important to each of us as shareholders as we ensure that our investment is giving us a fair return. We believe the financial information should also give you an insight into the direction and focus of KS Bank. Our theme stated in our 2019 strategic plan is, “People, Purpose, Passion: Community Bankers Building Partnerships.” As community bankers we know that building relationships allow us to support the goals and dreams of families and local businesses, which builds the communities we serve. Support means being a partner this year and years to come. It means being financially sound and prepared to meet customer needs with appropriate products and services. Support also requires us to live our core values of, “always doing the right thing” and “creating win-wins for customers and the Bank.” We are extremely proud that, after ninety-five years, KS Bank is continuing to grow the communities we serve and doing so in a sound and profitable way for those who invest in KS Bancorp, Inc. It takes a committed team of individuals to make any institution. Our employees are the heartbeat of our institution. It is only fitting that we honor those who have provided great leadership during their tenure at KS Bank. During 2018, William C. (Bill) Clarke, Senior Commercial Relationship Manager, retired after 32 years of service with KS Bank. Bill was a positive team member who helped KS transition from a one product (home loans) savings and loan to a full-service community bank supporting the entire community. Bill lived his values both at work and in his community service. We’re a better company because of his efforts. “Thank you, Bill!” The entire team at KS Bank is committed to serving our customers in their journey toward a sound financial future. We’ve done that now for ninety-five years, and you have our promise to continue this journey with each of you.
Respectfully,
Harold T. Keen James C. Parker President/Chief Executive Officer Chairman of the Board

KS Bank employees Kathy Salzmann, Deposit Operations Manager, and Tracy McKinley, IT Manager, taught sessions on savings and cybersecurity to 4th and 5th graders at Wilson’s Mills Elementary. In addition, the bank provided each child with a piggy bank to decorate as they chose. The top three piggy banks (see below) were chosen by corporate employees as well as a group of visiting auditors. The school used all of the piggy banks to raise money for their Student Government Project, teaching the students what just a little bit of savings from a lot of people can do to benefit others. We are so proud of each participant’s hard work and really enjoyed seeing the creativity! Special thanks goes to WME teacher Michelle Douglas for coordinating the project with us! Mrs. Douglas said, “Anytime we combine a teaching experience with an interactive, more creative approach, the children will remember the lessons much better. KS Bank found a way to teach a savings lesson with a fun visual and the kids got to take the visual home to reinforce what they learned. That, to me, is a successful learning strategy!”
