TEANECK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Bogota Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: BSBK) (the “Company”), the holding company for Bogota Savings Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of $1.4 million, compared to net income of $3.0 million for the comparable prior year period. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded a bargain purchase gain of $1.9 million, and merger-related expenses of $318,000, each of which was associated with the acquisition of Gibraltar Bank. Excluding the bargain purchase gain and the merger-related expenses in 2021, net income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $1.4 million, which equals the comparable current year period¹.

On April 11, 2022, the Company announced it completed its initial 5% buyback plan, purchasing 296,044 shares. The Company’s Board of Directors has approved another 5% buyback plan, which is subject to regulatory approval.

Other Financial Highlights:

• Total assets increased $13.3 million, or 1.6%, to $850.7 million at March 31, 2022 from $837.4 million at December 31, 2021, due to an increase in securities, which was primarily funded by cash and cash equivalents.
• Net loans decreased $5.8 million, or 1.0%, to $564.4 million at March 31, 2022 from $570.2 million at December 31, 2021.
• Total deposits were $619.9 million, increasing $22.5 million, or 3.8%, as compared to $597.5 million at December 31, 2021, primarily due to a new $20.0 million municipal deposit relationship. The average rate paid on deposits at March 31, 2022 decreased nine basis points from 0.61% at March 31, 2021 to 0.52% at December 31, 2021.
• Return on average assets was 0.68% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 compared to 1.57% for the comparable period in 2021. Without the bargain purchase gain and merger-related expenses in 2021, the return on average assets would have been 0.68%¹ and 0.73%¹ for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
• Return on average equity was 3.88% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 compared to 9.11% for the comparable period in 2021. Without the bargain purchase gain and merger-related expenses in 2021, the return on average equity would have been 3.88%¹ and 4.59%¹ for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Joseph Coccaro, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are pleased with our results for the quarter. We continue to enjoy strong credit quality as non-performing loans and criticized assets remain very low. We continue to see improvement in our net interest margin which rose 14 basis points year over year.“

Mr. Coccaro further stated, "During the last year we completed the acquisition of Gibraltar Bank including a business system conversion and opened our sixth branch location in Hasbrouck Heights. This year we expect to grow loan and deposit balances and are forecasting for assets to increase to $900 million. However, forecasted rate hikes, higher inflation and a low inventory in housing will make this challenging."

Income Statement Analysis

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021

Net income decreased by $1.6 million, or 53.4%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease was due to a decrease in non-interest income of $2.0 million offset by an increase in net interest income of $544 thousand. Excluding the one-time bargain purchase gain of $1.9 million that occurred in 2021 in connection with the Gibraltar Bank acquisition, net income would have increased $300,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the comparable period in 2021.

Interest income on cash and cash equivalents decreased $20,000, or 40.8%, to $29,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $49,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 due to a six basis point decrease in the average yield on cash and cash equivalents from 0.23% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to 0.17% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 due to the lower interest rate environment. The decrease was also due to a $16.8 million decrease in the average balance of cash and cash equivalents to $71.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $88.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, reflecting the use of excess liquidity to purchase investment securities.

Interest income on loans increased $72,000, or 1.3%, to $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 due to a nine basis point increase in the average yield on loans from 3.81% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to 3.90% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 offset by a $2.2 million decrease in the average balance of loans to $571.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $574.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Interest income on securities decreased $28,000, or 4.1%, to $658,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $686,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 due to a 182 basis point decrease in the average yield from 3.72% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to 1.90% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was offset by a $64.0 million increase in the average balance of securities to $138.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $74.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, reflecting the purchase of investments with excess liquidity as deposit growth exceeded loan growth.

Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits decreased $437,000, or 34.6%, to $826,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease was due primarily to a 43 basis point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits to 0.60% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from 1.03% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in the average cost of deposits was due to the lower interest rate environment and an increase in the average balance of lower-cost transaction accounts compared to a decrease in the average balance of higher cost certificates of deposit. This decrease was offset by a $61.7 million increase in the average balance of deposits to $561.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $499.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings decreased $101,000, or 23.5%, from $431,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $330,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was due to a decrease in the average cost of borrowings of four basis points to 1.63% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from 1.67% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 due to the lower interest rate environment and a decrease in the average balance of borrowings of $22.2 million to $82.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $104.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Net interest income increased $544,000, or 11.9%, to $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase reflected a 20 basis point increase in our net interest rate spread to 2.48% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from 2.28% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Our net interest margin increased 14 basis points to 2.64% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from 2.50% for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

We recorded no provision for loan losses the three months ended March 31, 2022 and recorded a $59,000 credit for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021. Lower balances in residential loans, a more positive economic environment and continued strong asset quality metrics were the reasons for the absence of a provision for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Bank continues to have a low level of delinquent and non-accrual loans in the portfolio, as well as no charge-offs. Non-performing assets were $1.9 million, or 0.23% of total assets, at March 31, 2022. The allowance for loan losses was $2.2 million, or 0.38% of loans outstanding and 111.8% of nonperforming loans, at March 31, 2022.

Non-interest income decreased by $2.0 million, or 85.1%, to $344,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Gain on sale of loans decreased $149,000 offset by a $66,000 increase in bank-owned life insurance. The decrease was due to a $1.9 million decrease in the bargain purchase gain recognized in the Gibraltar Bank acquisition in 2021.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, non-interest expense increased $109,000, or 3.2% to $3.5 million, over the comparable 2021 period. Salaries and employee benefits increased $524,000, or 34.1%, attributable to adding the new Gibraltar employees and the new Hasbrouck Heights branch office. Data processing expense increased $70,000, or 33.6%, due to higher data processing expense from the merger. Professional fees decreased $115,000, or 44.3%, due in part to lower legal expense associated with the merger in 2021. Merger fees and core conversion expenses decreased $678,000 due to the merger in 2021. The increase of other general operating expenses was mainly due to increase occupancy costs for the acquired Gibraltar Bank branches and the new Hasbrouck Heights branch office.

Balance Sheet Analysis

Total assets were $850.7 million at March 31, 2022, representing an increase of $13.3 million, or 1.6%, from December 31, 2021. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $36.0 million during the period primarily due to investment purchases with excess liquidity. Net loans decreased $5.8 million, or 1.0%, due to $26.4 million in repayments, offset by new production of $20.6 million, consisting of a relatively equal mix of residential real estate loans and commercial real estate loans. Securities held to maturity increased $7.3 million due to the purchase of corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities with excess cash. Securities available for sale increased $49.8 million due to the purchase of mortgage-backed securities and corporate bonds with excess cash.

Delinquent loans increased $100,000, or 87.9%, during the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, finishing at $1.8 million or 0.30% of total loans.

Total liabilities increased $15.9 million, or 2.3%, to $705.7 million mainly due to an increase in deposits reflecting a new $20.0 million municipal relationship, offset by a decrease in borrowings. Total deposits increased $22.5 million, or 3.8%, to $619.9 million at March 31, 2022 from $597.5 million at December 31, 2021. The increase in deposits reflected an increase in interest-bearing deposits of $18.8 million, or 3.4%, to $577.0 million as of March 31, 2022 from $558.2 million at December 31, 2021 and an increase in non-interest bearing deposits of $3.6 million, or 9.2%, to $42.9 million as of March 31, 2022 from $39.3 million as of December 31, 2021.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on net interest income. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The net column represents the sum of the prior columns. Changes attributable to changes in both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionally based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.
