Net Income

  • Net income was $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as a result of an increase in deposit interest expense offset by an increase in interest income and decreases in noninterest expenses.
  • Operating net income was $1.7 million and $0.26 diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $1.5 million and $0.22 diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Results of Operations

  • Net interest income was $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, due to an increase in deposit costs and recognition of remaining purchase accounting fair value discounts upon the payoff of acquired Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances in the first quarter of 2022, partially offset by an increase in interest income on loans.
  • Net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased to 3.58% from 4.53% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company anticipates it will experience continued margin compression in 2023 as a result of recent increases in market interest rates along with the mark on the FHLB advances from acquisition that was recognized upon payoff in first quarter 2022.
  • Noninterest income was $552 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $595 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in mortgage fee income.
  • Non-interest expense was $5.2 million and $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease was a result of the FHLB prepayment penalties paid in first quarter 2022.

Financial Condition

  • Total assets increased $141.0 million to $932.3 million at March 31, 2023 from $791.3 million at December 31, 2022 to further enhance liquidity.
  • Total net loans increased $15.3 million to $652.2 million at March 31, 2023 from $636.9 million at December 31, 2022. The increase was due to steady loan demand.
  • Non-owner occupied office loans totaled $26.2 million at March 31, 2023; average LTV on these loans is 45%;
    • $10.4 million medical/ dental tenants
    • $15.8 million to other various tenants.
  • Investment securities held-to-maturity unrealized losses were $1.3 million, net of tax. Investment securities available-for-sale unrealized losses were $6.2 million, net of tax.
  • Cash and cash equivalents increased to $136.9 million at March 31, 2023 from $26.3 million at December 31, 2023, primarily due to an increase in deposits.
  • Deposits increased by $93.6 million to $750.8 million at March 31, 2023 compared to $657.2 million at December 31, 2022, in part due to increases in certificates of deposits of $116.2 million offset by $22.6 million decreases in non-time deposits, as customers increased deposits in higher-yielding accounts during the current interest rate environment. The certificates of deposits increase included brokered deposits totaling $85.6 million with an average life of three years and an average interest rate of 5.07%.
  • Uninsured deposits were approximately $91.9 million and represented 12.1% of total deposits.
  • Borrowings increased by $45.0 million to $55.0 million at March 31, 2023 compared to $10.0 million at December 31, 2022 as we continue to evaluate borrowing needs related to enhancing bank liquidity.

Asset Quality

  • Non-performing loans increased to $6.9 million at March 31, 2023 from $6.7 million at December 31, 2022.
  • The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 145.49% at March 31, 2023, as compared to 138.8% at December 31, 2022.
  • Allowance for credit losses decreased to 1.40% at March 31, 2023 from 1.46% of total loans at December 31, 2022.
  • Net loan charge-offs were $91 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $3 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
