CEO and Board Chair Commentary

Timothy T. O'Dell, President and CEO, commented: "Operating in the currently challenging and volatile rate environment, CFBank is continuing to generate quality growth and business opportunities. Our business model remains focused on working with strong and high performing businesses and entrepreneurs. 

Core Earnings are expanding, as we add size and scale, approaching $2 Billion in Total Assets as the next major threshold target. Through the first three quarters of 2022, our Total Assets have grown $260 million. Additional earnings lift has also been provided by interest rate increases and NIM expansion. 

Our Commercial loan pipelines remain strong as we attract quality new and full-service business banking relationships. We are pleased with the size and scale of Residential Mortgage Lending, which is focused on Portfolio lending in our Regional markets. We made the decision to exit direct-to-consumer (DTC) originations roughly one year ago, anticipating mortgage market conditions would continue to become less favorable. 

Credit Quality along with Underwriting and Lending standards remain strong. CFBank, because of our ability to attract quality loan opportunities, is well positioned in the current market environment by having only a nominally sized Investment portfolio. 

Going forward, we expect that attracting deposits will continue to be increasingly challenging. However, we are having successes with our initiatives for growing Public Fund deposits. Indiana (our most recent regional market expansion) is proving to be a good deposit generating market. 

In addition, we have expanded our Deposit gathering franchise recently with this year's addition of four new branch locations in: Polaris (Columbus), Indianapolis, Ohio City (Cleveland), and Red Bank (Cincinnati). 

CFBank remains very disciplined with sticking to our proven fundamentals. Steady as we go. 

We believe from experience that market disruption and volatility will translate into increasing quality business opportunities for us." 

Robert E. Hoeweler, Chairman of the Board, added: "Our experienced CF Leadership continues to maintain a strong growth trajectory, guiding our Financial institution forward prudently during this challenging economic environment. 

We focus on providing financial solutions, coupled with ease of doing business delivery. Our success results through fostering mutually beneficial partnerships with our Customers, Communities, Shareholders and Employees."  

Our Best is yet Ahead!

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was negatively impacted by one-time conversion costs of $627,000 pre-tax ($496,000 after tax) and impairment expense of $570,000 pre-tax ($450,000 after tax) related to the pending sale of our headquarters building in Worthington as we prepare to move our headquarters office to New Albany, Ohio.  The conversion costs related to the conversion of our core processing system.  We do not anticipate to incur material additional costs going forward related to the conversion of our core processing system.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income totaled $13.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 and increased $1.8 million, or 15.3%, compared to $11.5 million in the prior quarter, and increased $2.9 million, or 27.9%, compared to $10.4 million in the third quarter of 2021. 

The increase in net interest income compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to a $3.3 million, or 22.4%, increase in interest income, partially offset by a $1.5 million, or 48.4%, increase in interest expense. The increase in interest income was primarily attributed to a $68.2 million, or 4.5%, increase in average interest-earning assets outstanding, coupled with a 66bps increase in average yield on interest-earning assets.  The increase in interest expense when compared to the prior quarter was attributed to a $47.3 million, or 3.9%, increase in average interest-bearing liabilities, coupled with a 45bps increase in the average cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin of 3.36% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 increased 32bps compared to the net interest margin of 3.04% for the prior quarter.

The increase in net interest income compared to the third quarter of 2021 was primarily due to an $5.3 million, or 41.7%, increase in interest income, partially offset by a $2.4 million, or 104.8%, increase in interest expense. The increase in interest income was primarily attributed to a $286.2 million, or 22.1%, increase in average interest-earning assets outstanding, coupled with a 62bps increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets.  The increase in interest expense was attributed to a $267.6 million, or 27.3%, increase in average interest-bearing liabilities, coupled with a 57bps increase in the average cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 totaled $705,000 and decreased $103,000, or 12.7%, compared to $808,000 for the prior quarter.  The decrease was primarily due to a $121,000 decrease in the net gain on sales of residential mortgage loans, partially offset by a $19,000 increase in swap fee income. 

Noninterest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 decreased $1.4 million, or 66.1%, compared to $2.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.  The decrease was primarily due to a $1.9 million decrease in gain on sales of deposits which was recognized in connection with the sale of our Columbiana County, Ohio branches in Q3 2021.  This was partially offset by a $135,000 increase in net gain on sales of commercial loans and a $55,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts.

During the second quarter 2022, we exited the DTC  mortgage originations business in favor of portfolio lending in our Regional markets with servicing retained.
