Net Income

  • Net income was $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, as a result of a decrease in Payroll Protection Program (PPP) loan-related interest and fee income, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense.
  • Net income was $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as a result of lower interest and fee income on PPP loans, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense primarily related to the recognition of remaining discounts upon the payoff of acquired Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Results of Operations

  • Net interest income was $7.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $6.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 due to an increase in loan interest, partially offset by a decrease in PPP loan-related interest and fee income. Net interest income was $22.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $22.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 was a result of a decrease in PPP loan-related interest and fee income, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense primarily related to the recognition of remaining discounts upon the payoff of acquired Federal Home Loan Bank advances.
  • The Company’s net interest margin increased to 4.12% from 3.78% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased slightly to 4.24% from 4.17% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
  • Noninterest income was $593 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and $771 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, noninterest income was $1.8 million compared to $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decreases were a result of the Company recognizing gains on sale of other real estate and death benefits received from bank owned life insurance in previous periods.
  • Non-interest expense was $5.5 million and $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Non-interest expense was $16.5 million and $15.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The increases were due in part to the increases in salaries and employee benefits as a result of the Company’s strategic initiative to attract and retain talent.

Financial Condition

  • Total assets decreased $11.7 million to $776.4 million at September 30, 2022 from $788.1 million at December 31, 2021.
  • Total net loans increased $65.3 million to $641.1 million at September 30, 2022 from $575.8 million at December 31, 2021 due primarily to strategic lending staff hires made to diversify our loan portfolio.
  • Deposits increased by $31.2 million to $646.0 million at September 30, 2022 compared to $614.8 million at December 31, 2021.
  • Borrowings decreased by $39.0 million to $10.0 million at September 30, 2022 compared to $49.0 million at December 31, 2021 as we repaid Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings.

Asset Quality

  • Non-performing loans remained unchanged at $7.0 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
  • The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 132.8% at September 30, 2022, as compared to 122.1% at December 31, 2021.
  • Allowance for loan losses was 1.43% of total loans at September 30, 2022, as compared to 1.46% of total loans at December 31, 2021.
  • Net loan recoveries were $108,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $295,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
