MINEOLA, N.Y., April 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hanover Bancorp, Inc. (“Hanover” or “the Company”), the holding company for Hanover Community Bank (“the Bank”) today reported significant performance achievements for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, highlighted by strong capital and loan growth in addition to record levels of net interest income and net interest margin.
Earnings Summary for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2021
The Company reported net income for the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2021 of $2.1 million or $0.48 per diluted common share, representing an increase of $1.8 million from the comparable year ago period when net income totaled $249 thousand or $0.06 per diluted common share. Second fiscal quarter returns on average total assets and average stockholders’ equity were 0.97% and 10.28%, respectively, in 2021 versus 0.11% and 1.34% in the year ago period.
The improvement in net income recorded in the second fiscal quarter of 2021 resulted from a $1.3 million or 19.7% increase in net interest income, an $800 thousand reduction in the provision for loan losses and a $254 thousand increase in non-interest income versus the comparable 2020 period. Partially offsetting these positive factors was a $94 thousand or 1.7% increase in total operating expenses in the second fiscal quarter of 2021 from the year ago quarter. The year-over-year growth in net interest income was due to a substantial widening of the Company’s net interest margin to 3.79% in 2021 from 3.06% in the comparable 2020 quarter. The margin improvement resulted principally from a 110 basis point reduction in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities to 0.96% in 2021, largely due to a 125 basis point reduction in the average rate paid on savings and time deposits in the 2021 quarter. Also adding to the wider margin was a shift in the average interest-earning asset mix resulting from a $28.3 million increase in average loans outstanding coupled with a $55.2 million reduction in low yielding average interest-earning cash in the second fiscal quarter of 2021 versus the comparable 2020 period. The reduction in the provision for loan losses in the second fiscal quarter of 2021 was due to the additional provision taken in the second fiscal quarter of 2020 due to economic concerns primarily related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the economy in the Company’s market area appears to have stabilized in 2021, the Company did not reverse any previously recognized loan loss provisions due to continued economic uncertainty. The growth in non-interest income in the second fiscal quarter of 2021 resulted primarily from a $240 thousand gain on the sale of a security available for sale and a $68 thousand or 119.3% increase in loan fees and service charges.
Excluding merger-related charges recorded in the second fiscal quarter of 2021 and litigation and proxy contest expenses recorded in the comparable 2020 period, core (non-GAAP) operating net income was $2.2 million or $0.51 per diluted common share, up $1.5 million versus 2020 core operating net income. Second fiscal quarter core returns on average total assets and average stockholders’ equity, excluding merger, litigation, and proxy-related charges in each respective period, were 1.02% and 10.88%, respectively in 2021, versus 0.30% and 3.56% a year ago.
Earnings Summary for the Six Months Ended March 31, 2021
For the six months ended March 31, 2021, the Company reported net income of $3.6 million or $0.84 per diluted common share versus $2.0 million or $0.48 per diluted common share a year ago.
The improved level of earnings in 2021 resulted from a $1.9 million increase in net interest income, principally due to a 50 basis point widening of the company’s net interest margin to 3.66% in the six months ended March 31, 2021, a $700 thousand reduction in the provision for loan losses and a reduction in the effective tax rate to 20.4% in 2021 from 22.4% a year ago. Partially offsetting these positive factors was a $152 thousand reduction in non-interest income in the 2021 period coupled with a $533 thousand increase in total operating expenses, principally resulting from growth in compensation and benefits related to increased headcount as the Company has continued to grow and create the infrastructure required for a public reporting company. Experienced executives have also been added to implement new product initiatives such as municipal banking along with expanded commercial real estate and commercial and industrial lending.
Michael P. Puorro, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the Company’s results: “I am extremely pleased with Hanover’s second fiscal quarter 2021 financial results which produced record levels of net interest income and net interest margin and prudent loan growth. We will continue to be very cautious when extending credit until the economy shows signs of sustained improvement though I am confident that recent indications bode well for a strong recovery during the balance of 2021. As I have previously stated, we continue to work proactively with our borrowers who have been granted loan forbearances and we have had great success to date in returning the vast majority of these borrowers back to regular payment status. I am also very excited about our strategic merger with Savoy Bank that we are confident will create one of the premier community banks in the metro New York City area with under $5 billion in total assets. We have highly complementary lending niches, and we believe that Savoy’s funding profile will benefit greatly from Hanover’s rapid progress in building out several niche core deposit businesses, including our municipal banking function, which fueled our record net interest margin this quarter. I am also looking forward to working closely with Mac Wilcox, Savoy’s President and CEO who will join Hanover as Senior Executive Vice President, Head of Commercial Lending and Chief Revenue Officer, as well as Metin Negrin and Elena Sisti from Savoy who will be joining Hanover’s Board of Directors. The merger is expected to close in the second quarter of 2021, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals and approval by Savoy’s shareholders.”
Mr. Puorro also noted, “Growth in shareholder value is always our highest priority at Hanover Bancorp. This hallmark of our success continues to be reflected by growth in tangible book value per share which increased by $1.66, or 9.5%, to $19.19 per share at March 31, 2021 versus the comparable 2020 date.”
Balance Sheet Growth
Total assets at March 31, 2021 were $890.4 million versus $895.6 million at the comparable 2020 date. Total deposits at the same date were largely flat at $718.2 million when compared to March 31, 2020, however, there was a significant shift in the deposit mix as core deposits (Demand, N.O.W., Savings and Money Market) increased year-over-year by $171.2 million while Time Deposits declined by $170.1 million. Management reduced usage of its Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowing capacity in the second fiscal quarter of 2021 as other lower cost funding options were utilized to replace maturing FHLB advances. Borrowings at March 31, 2021 declined by $25.0 million to $56.4 million, with a weighted average rate and term of 1.23% and 24 months, respectively. At March 31, 2021, the Bank had $154.0 million of additional borrowing capacity from the FHLB.
Stockholders’ equity increased by $7.7 million to $82.2 million at March 31, 2021 from the comparable 2020 date resulting in an 9.5% increase in tangible book value per share over the past twelve months to $19.19 at March 31, 2021.
The Company’s average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 0.96% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, from 2.06% a year ago and declined from 1.26% on a linked quarter basis. Partially offsetting the improvement in the Company’s average cost of interest-bearing liabilities from the March 2020 period was a 27 basis point reduction in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 4.56% during the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2021, primarily driven by lower average loan yields (down 49 basis points in 2021) resulting principally from the lower interest rate environment that continues to prevail in 2021.
Strong Loan Portfolio Growth
For the twelve months ended March 31, 2021, the Bank’s loan portfolio, net of sales, grew by $71.5 million, or 10.3%. Year over year growth was concentrated primarily in multi-family, commercial real estate, and PPP loans. At March 31, 2021, the Company’s residential loan portfolio amounted to $432.5 million, with an average loan balance of $430 thousand and a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 52%. Commercial real estate loans totaled $293.7 million at March 31, 2021, with an average loan balance of $816 thousand and a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 53%. The Company’s commercial real estate concentration ratio was 247% of capital at March 31, 2021 versus 235% of capital at the comparable 2020 date.
Historically, the Bank has been able to generate additional income by strategically originating and selling its primary lending products to other financial institutions at premiums, while also retaining servicing rights in some sales. The Bank expects that it will continue to originate loans, for its own portfolio and for sale, which will result in continued growth in interest income while also realizing gains on sale of loans to others and recording servicing income. The loan sale market was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic during much of 2020 although current indications are that it is again close to normalizing. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company sold $9.4 million in performing loans and recorded gains on the sale of loans held-for-sale of $295 thousand versus gains of $181 thousand in the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and gains of $339 thousand in the quarter ended March 31, 2020. During the twelve months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded cumulative gains of $491 thousand on the sale of performing loans held-for-sale.
At March 31, 2021, the Company reported $9.4 million in non-performing loans which represented 1.22% of total loans outstanding, as compared to $1.7 million in nonperforming loans, or 0.25% of total loans outstanding at March 31, 2020. The increase in non-performing loans in 2021 resulted from the addition of several credits where the borrowers had been granted forbearance in 2020 and where management believed it unlikely that the borrowers would be able to comply with the terms of their modified payment plans. The Company believes that each of these loans is well secured. During the second fiscal quarter of 2021, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses expense of $200 thousand. The March 31, 2021 allowance for loan losses balance was $8.2 million versus $7.8 million a year ago. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans was 1.07% at March 31, 2021 versus 1.09% at December 31, 2020 and 1.13% at March 31, 2020. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total originated loans was 1.18% at March 31, 2021.
Record Net Interest Margin
The Bank’s net interest margin improved to a record 3.79% during the second fiscal quarter of 2021, versus 3.06% in the comparable 2020 quarter and 3.53% in the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The 73 basis point increase in the Bank’s net interest margin versus the comparable 2020 quarter was primarily attributable to a 110 basis point reduction in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities to 0.96% from 2.06% a year ago. The lower cost of funds in 2021 was the result of a significant reduction in the cost of interest-bearing deposits in 2021 (down 125 basis points), accompanied by a shift in the Company’s deposit mix to a greater concentration of core deposit balances. Also contributing to the wider margin in the second fiscal quarter of 2021 was a decrease in lower-yielding average interest-bearing cash on the balance sheet (down $55.2 million). Partially offsetting the positive impact of the foregoing factors, the average rate on total interest-earning assets declined by 27 basis points to 4.56% in the second fiscal quarter of 2021 versus the comparable 2020 period. This reduction in yield was largely the result of a 49 basis point decrease in the average loan yield to 4.99% in 2021.
Operating Efficiency Ratio
The Bank’s operating efficiency ratio was 69.4% in the second fiscal quarter of 2021 versus 81.0% a year ago. The second fiscal quarter 2021 core operating efficiency ratio, which excludes merger-related charges, was 67.5%.

The Company’s management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides both management and investors with a greater understanding of the Company’s operating results and trends in addition to the results measured in accordance with GAAP. While management uses non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance, this information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the numbers prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP or considered to be more important than financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
