Net income amounted to $1.8 million, or $0.24 per fully diluted common share, compared with $1.6 million, or $0.21 per fully diluted common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Annualized return on average assets (“ROAA”) was 0.69% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to 0.53% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, and annualized return on average equity (“ROAE”) was 5.06% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared with 4.35% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2022, net income amounted to $4.4 million, or $0.58 per fully diluted common share, compared with net income of $6.1 million, or $0.81 per fully diluted common share, for the nine months ended June 30, 2021.

  • Net interest margin (“NIM”) increased 27 basis points to 2.97% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to 2.70% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The increase was driven by a reduction in interest expense, partially offset by a decrease in interest-earning assets.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $7.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $164,000, or 2.3%, from $7.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, NIM increased by 27 basis points to 2.97%, as compared to 2.70% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily driven by a reduction in interest expense as the cost of borrowings decreased by 58 basis points and interest-bearing deposits decreased by 25 basis points compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 33 basis points compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The overall reduction of interest-bearing liabilities was offset in part by a 9 basis point reduction of interest-earning assets compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Net interest income was $21.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $170,000, or 0.8%, from $21.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. For the nine months ended June 30, 2022, NIM increased by 23 basis points to 2.85%, as compared to 2.62% for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. Consistent with the current quarter, this increase was primarily driven by the 42 basis point decrease in cost of interest-bearing deposits compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The cost of borrowings decreased by 18 basis points compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 47 basis points compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2021.

Interest Income

For the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, total interest income was $8.6 million and $9.4 million, respectively. Total interest income decreased for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to the decrease in average loan balances of $146.5 million.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2022, total interest income was $25.7 million, a decrease of $3.9 million or 13.1%, from $29.6 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The average balance of our total loans decreased $133.1 million, or 13.3%, for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2021, while the average yield on loans decreased by 12 basis points for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 compared with the same period in fiscal year 2021. The decrease in average total loan volume was primarily due to increased paydowns and payoff activity. During the nine months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in fiscal year 2021, the volume-related factors during the period contributed to a decrease in interest income on loans of $1.2 million, while the rate-related factors decreased interest income on loans by $3.3 million.

Interest Expense

For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, interest expense decreased by $1.0 million, or 44.8%, to $1.3 million, compared to $2.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in interest expense is primarily attributable to interest rate related factors, as the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities in the current quarter fell 33 basis points to 0.59% compared to 0.92% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Total interest expense decreased by $4.0 million, or 48.6%, to $4.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $8.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in interest expense on deposits is primarily attributable to rate related factors. The annualized average rate on total interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 0.63% for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, from 1.10% for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. This decrease primarily reflects a decrease in the average rate of interest-bearing deposits of 42 basis points and a decrease in the average rate of borrowings of 18 basis points. The decrease in the average rate of interest-bearing deposits consisted of a 50 basis points decrease in the average rate of certificates of deposit, a 55 basis points decrease in the average rate of money market accounts and a 17 basis points decrease in average rate of other interest-bearing deposit accounts.

Other Income

Other income decreased $311,000, or 39.2%, during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in other income was primarily due to a decrease in net gains on sale of investments and loans by $215,000 to $15,000 for quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to $230,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. In addition, service charges and other fees decreased by $96,000 during quarter ended June 30, 2022 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2022, total other income decreased $1.4 million, or 44.4%, to $1.8 million compared to $3.2 million the same period in 2021. This decrease was primarily the result of a $1.4 million decrease in net gains on sale of investments and loans.

Other Expense

Other expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 decreased $393,000, or 6.7%, to $5.4 million when compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $591,000 in other real estate owned (“OREO”) expense, partially offset by an increase of $212,000 in professional fees. The increase in professional fees was primarily due to legal fees associated with loan workouts and disclosure and other matters concerning nonperforming loans. Also, during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company adjusted the carrying value of the OREO property by $198,000 based on a negotiated sales price. A purchase agreement has been executed and is currently under a due diligence period, and is expected to settle during the fourth fiscal quarter.

Other expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, increased $1.6 million, or 10.4%, when compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increased valuation allowance of $359,000 recorded during the March 31, 2022 period and $1.3 million in real estate tax expense on loans held for sale.

Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $502,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to $489,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The effective tax rates for the Company for the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 were 21.5% and 23.4%, respectively.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2022 income tax expense decreased by $614,000, or 32.2%, to $1.3 million from $1.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The effective tax rates for the Company for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were 22.8% and 23.8%, respectively.

Deposits

Total deposits decreased $146.5 million, or 15.6%, from $938.2 million at September 30, 2021 to $791.7 million at June 30, 2022. The decrease in deposits was primarily related to a reduction of $84.3 million in money market deposits and a reduction of $66.1 million in interest bearing demand deposits, partially offset by increases of $6.6 million in savings and non-interest-bearing demand deposits categories, collectively.

The Company continues to focus on the maintenance, development, and expansion of its deposit base strategically with its funding requirements and liquidity needs, with an emphasis on serving the needs of its communities to provide a long-term relationship base to efficiently compete for and retain deposits in its market.

Loans

Total net loans amounted to $806.0 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $903.0 million at September 30, 2021, resulting in a net decrease of $97.0 million, or 10.6%, for the period driven by higher loan payoffs and paydowns during the period primarily in the commercial loan category. Loans held-for-sale amounted to $13.9 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $33.2 million at September 30, 2021. The decline in loans held-for-sale was primarily related to the sale in the December 31, 2021 quarter of three commercial loans totaling $18.9 million. Average loan balances for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, totaled $821.1 million as compared to $933.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, representing a decrease of $112.6 million or 12.1%.

At June 30, 2022, gross loans, which excludes loans held-for-sale, remained weighted toward two primary components: the commercial and core residential portfolios, with commercial loans accounting for 73.2% and single-family residential real estate loans accounting for 21.6% of the gross loan portfolio at such date. Construction and development loans amounted to 2.8% and consumer loans represented 2.4% of the gross loan portfolio at such date. The decrease in the gross loan portfolio at June 30, 2022, compared to September 30, 2021, primarily reflected decreases of $29.5 million in commercial loans, $11.2 million in residential mortgage loans, and $4.7 million in construction and development loans.

Asset Quality

Non-accrual loans, excluding loans held-for-sale, totaled $1.1 million at June 30, 2022, and $3.7 million at September 30, 2021. The decrease in non-accrual loans was primarily due a partial charge-off of $1.4 million related to one non-accrual commercial and industrial loan. The partial charge-off was the result of the ongoing monitoring and evaluation of classified loan values and is reflective of changes in current market and economic conditions. Performing troubled debt restructured (“TDR”) loans were $5.8 million at June 30, 2022, and $17.6 million at September 30, 2021. The decrease is primarily related to two TDR commercial real estate loans totaling $11.4 million that were sold during the December 31, 2021 period.

At June 30, 2022, NPAs totaled $6.2 million, or 0.61% of total assets, as compared with $8.7 million, or 0.72% of total assets, at September 30, 2021. The decrease in NPAs is due to the decrease in non-accrual loans as described above.

OREO, which is comprised of one commercial real estate property, totaled $4.8 million at June 30, 2022 and $5.0 million at September 30, 2021. Excluding the OREO property, NPAs totaled $1.5 million, or 0.14% of total assets, at June 30, 2022, and $3.7 million, or 0.31% of total assets, at September 30, 2021.

Forward-Looking Statements

The statements contained herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements based on management’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the Company, including, without limitation, plans, strategies and goals, and statements about the Company’s expectations regarding revenue and asset growth, financial performance and profitability, loan and deposit growth, yields and returns, loan diversification and credit management, and shareholder value creation.

Such statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond the control of the Company. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be the same as those anticipated by management. The Company cautions readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including changes in interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; the impact of competition and the acceptance of the Company’s products and services by new and existing customers; the impact of changes in financial services policies, laws and regulations; technological changes; any oversupply of inventory and deterioration in values of real estate in the markets in which the Company operates, both residential and commercial; the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted from time-to-time by bank regulatory agencies, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other accounting standards setters; possible other-than-temporary impairment of securities held by the company; the effects of the Company’s lack of a widely-diversified loan portfolio, including the risks of geographic and industry concentrations; ability to attract deposits and other sources of liquidity; changes in the competitive environment among financial and bank holding companies and other financial service providers; unanticipated regulatory or judicial proceedings; the impact of any change in the FDIC insurance assessment rate or the rules and regulations related to the calculation of the FDIC insurance assessment amount; and the Company’s ability to manage the risk involved in the foregoing. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are discussed in the Company’s Annual Report Filed on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC and available at the SEC’s Internet site (http://www.sec.gov).

Further, given its ongoing and dynamic nature, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including the outbreak of its variants on our business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including when the coronavirus and its variants can be controlled and the effects on general economic conditions. As the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, we are subject to any of the following risks, any of which could continue to have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations: the demand for our products and services may decline, making it difficult to grow assets and income; the economy , and particularly commercial real estate markets may be affected; there may be high levels of unemployment , loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase, resulting in increased charges and reduced income; if the economy is unable to continue to substantially reopen, and there are high levels of unemployment for extended periods of time, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase resulting in increased charges and reduced income; collateral for loans, especially commercial real estate, may continue to decline in value, which could cause loan losses to increase; our allowance for loan losses may increase if borrowers experience financial difficulties, which will adversely affect our net income; the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us; due to fluctuation in interest rates, the yield on our assets may decline to a greater extent than the decline in our cost of interest-bearing liabilities, reducing our NIM and spread and reducing net income; our cyber security risks are increased as the result of an increase in the number of employees working remotely.

The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or publicly release any revision or update to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which such statements were made, unless required by law.
