Broadway Financial (NASDAQ: BYFC) ha registrato un reddito netto di $522 mila per il terzo trimestre del 2024, in aumento rispetto ai $91 mila nel terzo trimestre del 2023. Il reddito di interesse netto è aumentato di $1,5 milioni (23%) raggiungendo $8,3 milioni. I prestiti lordi totali sono cresciuti di $87,5 milioni (9,9%) raggiungendo $975,3 milioni. Tuttavia, la società ha riportato una perdita netta per gli azionisti comuni di $228 mila dopo aver sottratto i dividendi privilegiati di $750 mila. La perdita diluita per azione è stata di $0,03 rispetto ad un guadagno di $0,01 nel terzo trimestre del 2023. Nonostante un miglioramento del reddito da interessi, le prestazioni sono state limitate dalla compressione del margine d'interesse netto a causa dell'aumento dei costi di finanziamento dovuti ai rialzi dei tassi da parte della Federal Reserve.

Insights

Broadway Financial (BYFC) reported mixed Q3 2024 results with some positive developments but ongoing challenges. Net income increased to $522,000 from $91,000 year-over-year, but after preferred dividends, resulted in a loss of $228,000 to common stockholders.

Key positives include a 23% increase in net interest income to $8.3 million, driven by loan portfolio growth of 9.9% to $975.3 million. Asset quality remains strong with only one non-performing loan representing 0.03% of total loans.

However, margin pressure continues due to higher funding costs, with interest expense up $2.7 million. Rising operational costs, particularly in compensation and professional services, resulted in a 15.4% increase in non-interest expenses year-to-date. The efficiency ratio remains elevated, suggesting ongoing profitability challenges despite revenue growth.

The bank's funding profile shows some concerning trends despite overall stability. While total deposits declined marginally by $10.4 million, uninsured deposits remain elevated at 34% of total deposits. The reliance on wholesale funding through FHLB advances and other borrowings at $398.4 million indicates potential vulnerability to interest rate fluctuations.

The allowance for credit losses increased to $8.5 million, primarily due to loan growth rather than credit deterioration. Capital levels remain strong with equity-to-assets at 20.9%, providing a substantial buffer against potential losses. However, the rising cost of funds, up 76 basis points year-over-year to 3.23%, continues to pressure margins and profitability.

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Broadway Financial Corporation (“Broadway” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BYFC), parent company of City First Bank, National Association (the “Bank”, and collectively, with the Company, “we” or “City First Broadway”), reported net income attributable to Broadway of $522 thousand for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $91 thousand for the third quarter of 2023, an increase of $431 thousand. Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $228 thousand during the third quarter of 2024 after deducting preferred dividends of $750 thousand, compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $91 thousand for the third quarter of 2023. Diluted loss per common share was $0.03 for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $0.01 of earnings per diluted common share for the third quarter of 2023. Diluted loss per common share for the third quarter of 2024 reflects preferred dividends of $0.09 per diluted common share.

During the third quarter of 2024, net interest income increased by $1.5 million, or 23.0%, to $8.3 million, compared to $6.8 million for the third quarter of 2023. The increase resulted from higher interest income of $4.2 million, primarily due to an increase in interest on loans and interest-bearing deposits at other banks, partially offset by higher interest expense of $2.7 million, primarily due to an increase in the cost of borrowings and deposits.

For the first nine months of 2024, the Company reported net income attributable to Broadway of $627 thousand compared to $1.9 million for the first nine months of 2023. Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $190 thousand during the first nine months of 2024 after deducting preferred dividends of $817 thousand, compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $1.9 million for the first nine months of 2023. Diluted loss per common share was $0.02 for the first nine months of 2024 compared to $0.21 of earnings per diluted common share for the first nine months of 2023. Diluted earnings per share for the first nine months of 2024 reflects preferred dividends of $0.10 per diluted common share. The decrease in net income attributable to the Company primarily resulted from an increase in non-interest expense of $3.0 million during the first nine months of 2024, compared to the first nine months of 2023, primarily due to increases in compensation and benefits expense of $1.4 million and professional services expense of $1.2 million. The increase in non-interest expense was partially offset by an increase of $1.5 million in net interest income and a decrease in income tax expense of $508 thousand during the first nine months of 2024, compared to the first nine months of 2023.

Third Quarter 2024 Highlights:

  • During the third quarter of 2024, total interest income increased by $4.2 million, or 35.5%, compared to the third quarter of 2023.
  • The yield on average interest-earning assets increased by 73 basis points to 4.82% for the third quarter of 2024, compared to 4.09% for the third quarter of 2023.
  • Total gross loans receivable increased by $87.5 million, or 9.9%, to $975.3 million at September 30, 2024, compared to $887.8 million at December 31, 2023.
  • The value of the Company’s portfolio of securities available-for-sale increased by $6.0 million during the first nine months of 2024 and resulted in other comprehensive income of $4.2 million, net of taxes.

Chief Executive Officer, Brian Argrett commented, “During the third quarter, we continued our record of sequentially growing total interest income, which increased 4.4% as compared to the second quarter of 2024, and over 35% as compared to the third quarter of 2023. The increase in interest income reflects growth of 50% in our loan portfolio since receipt of the equity investment under the U.S. Treasury’s Emergency Capital Investment Program in June 2022. In addition, the growth in interest income reflects improving yields on our interest-earning assets, which have increased by 173 basis points, or over 56%, since the end of March 2022 when the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve began implementing interest rate hikes to curb inflation. I am pleased to report again that we only had one non-performing loan as of September 30, 2024, which represented less than $300 thousand, or 0.03% of total loans.”

“Despite these improvements, our bottom-line performance has been constrained by compression in our net interest margin, which reflects the sharp increase in the Bank’s cost of funds resulting from the rate hikes implemented by the Federal Reserve through 2023. Nonetheless, we increased net interest income, net interest income after provisions for credit losses, and net income attributable to Broadway during the third quarter as compared to the second quarter of 2024 and the third quarter of 2023.”

“Finally, I want to thank our team members for their commitment to our mission, and their focus on improving operating performance and serving the low-to-moderate income communities within our targeted geographic markets. In addition, I wish to thank our stockholders and depositors for their continued support, which is pivotal as we strive to expand the service and support that City First Broadway provides to our customers and broader stakeholders.”

Net Interest Income

Third Quarter of 2024 Compared to Third Quarter of 2023

Net interest income before provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2024 totaled $8.3 million, representing an increase of $1.5 million, or 23.0%, from net interest income before provision for credit losses of $6.8 million for the third quarter of 2023. The increase resulted from higher interest income of $4.2 million, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $2.7 million. The increase in interest income was primarily due to growth of $141.8 million in average loans receivable and $95.9 million in average interest-earning deposits, which were partially offset by a decline of $71.0 million in average securities during the third quarter of 2024, compared to the third quarter of 2023. In addition, the overall rate earned on interest-earning assets increased by 73 basis points as the Bank earned higher rates on the loan portfolio, as well as on interest-earning deposits. The increase in interest income was partially offset by an increase in the average cost of funds, which increased to 3.23% for the third quarter of 2024 from 2.47% for the third quarter of 2023, due to higher average balances of borrowings and higher rates paid on deposits. Net interest margin increased to 2.49% for the third quarter of 2024 from 2.33% for the third quarter of 2023.

First Nine Months of 2024 Compared to the First Nine Months of 2023

Net interest income before provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 totaled $23.8 million, representing an increase of $1.5 million, or 6.5%, from net interest income before provision for credit losses of $22.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase resulted from higher interest income of $11.8 million, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $10.4 million. The increase in interest income was primarily due to an increase of $144.1 million in the average balance of loans receivable and an increase of $88.2 million in average interest-bearing deposits, which were partially offset by a decrease of $47.8 million in average securities. In addition, interest income increased due to an increase of 63 basis points, or 15.6%, in the overall rate earned on interest-earning assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as the Bank earned higher rates on the loan portfolio, interest-bearing deposits and stock investments with the Federal Reserve and Federal Home Loan Bank. The increase in interest income was partially offset by an increase in the average cost of funds, which increased to 3.14% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from 2.00% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, due to higher average balances of borrowings and higher rates paid on borrowings and deposits. Net interest margin decreased to 2.38% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 2.60% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Provision for Credit Losses

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $399 thousand, compared to a recovery of provision for credit losses of $2 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $1.2 million, compared to $808 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The provisions for credit losses during the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024 include recoveries of provisions for credit losses for off-balance sheet loan commitments of $24 thousand and $26 thousand, respectively. The increases in the provisions for credit losses during the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were primarily due to growth in the loan portfolio.

The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) increased to $8.5 million as of September 30, 2024, compared to $7.3 million as of December 31, 2023 due to growth in the loan portfolio.

The Bank had one non-accrual loan at September 30, 2024 with an unpaid principal balance of $291 thousand. No loan charge-offs were recorded during the quarters or nine months ended September 30, 2024 or 2023.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2024 totaled $416 thousand, compared to $331 thousand for the third quarter of 2023.

For the first nine months of 2024, non-interest income totaled $995 thousand, compared to $880 thousand for the same period in the prior year.

Non-interest Expense

Total non-interest expense was $7.6 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $7.0 million for the third quarter of 2023, representing an increase of $613 thousand, or 8.8%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in professional and accounting fees in connection with the Company’s remediation efforts of the weaknesses in internal controls that were identified during preparation of the financial statements for the third quarter of 2023.

For the first nine months of 2024, non-interest expense totaled $22.7 million, representing an increase of $3.0 million, or 15.4%, from $19.7 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase primarily resulted from increases in compensation and benefits expense of $1.4 million and professional services expense of $1.2 million. The increase in compensation and benefits expense reflects the investment in additional executives and staff to support growth and strengthen overall controls and management depth. As previously reported, the Company hired a new Chief Financial Officer. The Company also hired a General Counsel and Chief Risk Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, and Treasurer during the first six months of 2024. The increase in professional services expense was primarily due to the costs associated with third-party professionals that were retained in connection with the Company’s investigation of the weaknesses in internal controls that were identified during preparation of the financial statements for the third quarter of 2023.

Income Taxes

The Company recorded an income tax expense of $209 thousand for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $39 thousand for the third quarter of 2023. The increase in income tax expense reflected an increase of $628 thousand in pre-tax income between the two periods. The effective tax rate was 27.76% for the third quarter of 2024, compared to 31.20% for the third quarter of 2023.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, income tax expense was $298 thousand, compared to $806 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in income tax expense reflected a decrease in pretax earnings of $1.8 million between the two periods. The effective tax rate was 32.04% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 29.49% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Balance Sheet Summary

Total assets decreased by $2.3 million at September 30, 2024, compared to December 31, 2023, reflecting decreases in securities available-for-sale of $78.5 million, primarily due to maturities and paydowns, cash and cash equivalents of $8.1 million, other assets of $1.3 million, and deferred tax assets of $1.1 million, partially offset by growth in net loans of $86.3 million.

Loans held for investment, net of the ACL, increased by $86.3 million to $966.8 million at September 30, 2024, compared to $880.5 million at December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to loan originations of $136.2 million during the first nine months of 2024, which consisted of $65.7 million in multi-family loans, $46.6 million in commercial real estate loans, $17.6 million in other commercial loans, $5.5 million in construction loans, and $800 thousand in SBA loans, partially offset by loan payoffs and repayments of $49.9 million.

The value of the Company’s portfolio of securities available-for-sale appreciated by $6.0 million during the first nine months of 2024 and resulted in other comprehensive income of $4.2 million, net of taxes.. The unrealized appreciation reflected the lower short-term interest rates that occurred after the Federal Reserve lowered its benchmark range by 50 basis points. The average maturity for the Bank’s portfolio of securities available-for-sale was 2.9 years as of September 30, 2024.

Deposits decreased by $10.4 million to $672.2 million at September 30, 2024, from $682.6 million at December 31, 2023. The decrease in deposits was attributable to a decrease of $33.1 million in liquid deposits (demand, interest checking, and money market accounts), a decrease of $7.4 million in savings deposits, and a decrease of $2.2 million in Certificate of Deposit Registry Service (“CDARS”) deposits (CDARS deposits are certificates of deposit in excess of FDIC insured limits whereby the Bank makes reciprocal arrangements for insurance with other banks), partially offset by an increase of $32.2 million in Insured Cash Sweep (“ICS”) deposits (ICS deposits are the Bank’s money market deposit accounts in excess of FDIC insured limits whereby the Bank makes reciprocal arrangements for insurance with other banks) and $148 thousand in other certificates of deposit accounts. We leverage our long-standing partnership with IntraFi Deposit Solutions to offer deposit insurance for accounts exceeding the FDIC deposit insurance limit of $250,000. As of September 30, 2024, the Bank’s uninsured deposits, including deposits from Broadway and other affiliates, represented 34% of the Bank’s total deposits, compared to 37% as of December 31, 2023.

Total borrowings increased by $1.6 million to $398.4 million at September 30, 2024, from $396.8 million at December 31, 2023, primarily due to an increase of $16.3 million in securities sold under agreements to repurchase, partially offset by the payoff of two notes payable totaling $14.0 million during January 2024. The notes payable had a blended interest cost of approximately 3.75%.

Stockholders’ equity was $286.4 million, or 20.9% of the Company’s total assets, at September 30, 2024, compared to $281.9 million, or 20.5% of the Company’s total assets, at December 31, 2023. Book value per share was $14.97 at September 30, 2024, compared to $14.65 at December 31, 2023. The increases in total stockholders’ equity, the ratio of equity to total assets, and book value per share primarily reflect unrealized income from securities available for sale during the quarter, and, to a lesser extent, the net income generated by the Bank during the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
