Insights

CF Bankshares delivered a solid Q3 2024 with net income of $4.2 million ($0.65 per share), showing significant improvement from Q2's $1.7 million. Key positives include 18% growth in noninterest-bearing deposits and expanding net interest margin for the second consecutive quarter.

However, there are some concerns: The allowance for credit losses decreased to 0.97% of total loans (down from 1.13%), while nonaccrual loans increased to $14.6 million (0.84% of total loans). Net charge-offs jumped to $3.3 million, primarily from commercial loan participations acquired from regional banks.

The strategic shift toward commercial banking and reduction in residential mortgages should help improve margins long-term, though execution risks exist. With 40% insider ownership and strong core deposit growth, the bank shows resilience despite challenging rate environment.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CF Bankshares Inc. (NASDAQ: CFBK) (the "Company"), the parent of CFBank, National Association ("CFBank"), today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Third Quarter 2024 and YTD Highlights

  • Return on Average Equity (ROE) was 10.38% for the third quarter, while Return on Average Assets (ROA) was 0.84%.
  • Net Interest Margin (NIM) increased 2bps when compared to the previous quarter.  This represents the second consecutive quarter where we have achieved NIM expansion.

  • Commercial loans increased $35 million during the quarter and total loans and leases (gross) increased $27 million.

CEO and Board Chair Commentary

Timothy T. O'Dell, President and CEO, commented: "Net Earnings for the third quarter were $4.2 million or $0.65 per share.

Our CFBank growth trajectory is continuing.  Commercial Bank business pipelines, with loans, deposits and fee income are continuing to expand.  A key strategic focus remains to expand the size and scope of our Commercial Banking franchise. Additionally, we are focused on market share expansion in all four major Metro markets (Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati & Indianapolis), through strengthening our business banking teams.

Non-interest-bearing deposits grew by 18% during the third quarter. Growth of noninterest bearing deposits will serve to reduce reliance on higher cost funding going forward.  We believe that presently we are in an interest rate period with rates on short term deposits and loans declining, however, we have yet to see a normalized yield curve in this cycle. Nonetheless, recent Fed rate cuts are providing for deposit repricing opportunities which will lower deposit interest expense and are expected to reduce our incremental cost of funding over time.

Strategically, our business intents include repositioning our balance sheet, by reducing the portfolio of residential home mortgage loans, channeling refinancing and/or sale proceeds to fund commercial banking pipelines and growth opportunities. We have introduced initiatives coupled with incentives to accelerate refinancing of lower rate residential home mortgage loans.  This approach will result in a long-term benefit to our net interest margin.  Furthermore, commercial loans are typically accompanied by attractive full-service deposit and treasury management relationships.

Our business initiatives include efforts aimed at continued expansion of our shareholder base, including both institutional and retail investors.  CF has strong insider ownership, with roughly 40% of our outstanding stock being held by our Board Members and Management (including their affiliates and related parties). 

During October we moved into our new Northeast Ohio (Cleveland Market) Main Office in Pinecrest. By relocating to a location adjacent to a number of successful Family Wealth Offices, we expect to gain greater visibility as well as efficiency. We anticipate our relocation will provide added business synergy for our CF Boutique Banking model.

We believe Our Bests are yet Ahead!"

Robert E. Hoeweler, Chairman of the Board, added: "Our CF Leadership Team has continued to successfully adapt to the challenging interest rate environment. We maintain our focus on executing solid fundamentals, including at the forefront serving the needs of entrepreneurs and closely-held businesses."

The increase in net interest income compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to a $681,000, or 2.3%, increase in interest income, partially offset by a $588,000, or 3.3%, increase in interest expense.  The increase in interest income was primarily attributed to a 14bps increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets, coupled with a $1.5 million, or 0.08%, increase in average interest-earning assets. The increase in interest expense when compared to the prior quarter was attributed to a 13bps increase in the average cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities, coupled with a $7.5 million, or 0.5%, increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin of 2.41% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 increased 2bps compared to the net interest margin of 2.39% for the prior quarter.

The decrease in net interest income compared to the third quarter of 2023 was primarily due to a $2.0 million, or 12.3%, increase in interest expense, partially offset by a $1.8 million, or 6.5%, increase in interest income.  The increase in interest expense was attributed to a 46bps increase in the average cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities, coupled with a $22.8 million, or 1.5%, increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. The increase in interest income was primarily attributed to a 26bps increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets, coupled with a $40.9 million, or 2.2%, increase in average interest-earning assets outstanding. The net interest margin of 2.41% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 decreased 9bps compared to the net interest margin of 2.50% for the third quarter of 2023.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 totaled $1.6 million and increased $388,000, or 31.9%, compared to $1.2 million for the prior quarter.  The increase was primarily due to a $252,000 increase in swap fee income and an $81,000 increase in other noninterest income.

Noninterest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 increased $305,000, or 23.4%, compared to $1.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.  The increase was primarily due to a $259,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts and a $188,000 increase on other noninterest income, partially offset by a $192,000 decrease in swap fee income.

Noninterest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 totaled $7.2 million and increased $134,000, or 1.9%, compared to $7.1 million for the prior quarter.  The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to a $159,000 increase in other noninterest expense, partially offset by a $31,000 decrease in salary and employee benefit expense. 

Noninterest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 increased $466,000, or 6.9%, compared to $6.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.  The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to a $194,000 increase in other noninterest expense, a $119,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits, and a $91,000 increase in data processing expense. The increase in other noninterest expense was primarily due to a $135,000 increase in fraud losses on customer accounts, coupled with a $53,000 increase in charitable contributions.  The increase in salaries and employee benefits was primarily related to an increase in the number of employees, partially offset by lower deferred compensation incentive plan expense.

The increase in net loans and leases during the quarter was primarily due to a $26.9 million increase in loans and leases balances coupled with a $2.5 million decrease in the allowance for credit losses.  The increase in loans and leases balances was primarily due to $48.2 million increase in multi-family loan balances and a $10.9 million increase in commercial and industrial (C&I) loan balances, partially offset by a $13.4 million decrease in construction loan balances, a $12.1 million decrease in commercial real estate loan balances, and a $6.6 million decrease in single-family residential loan balances.  The decrease in the allowance for credit losses was primarily driven by net charge-offs of $3.3 million, partially offset by the quarterly provision for credit losses on loans of $758,000

The increase in net loans and leases from December 31, 2023 was primarily due to a $45.8 million increase in multi-family loan balances, a $14.8 million increase in commercial real estate loan balances, and a $5.0 million increase in home equity lines of credit, partially offset by a $19.2 million decrease in construction loan balances, a $17.1 million decrease in single-family residential loan balances, and a $7.0 million decrease in commercial and industrial (C&I) loan balances.

Asset Quality

Nonaccrual loans were $14.6 million, or 0.84% of total loans at September 30, 2024, an increase of $3.7 million from $10.9 million at June 30, 2024 and an increase of $8.9 million from $5.7 million at December 31, 2023.  The increase in nonaccrual loans when compared to the prior quarter end was primarily due to two commercial loans, totaling $7.0 million, becoming nonaccrual during the third quarter of 2024, partially offset by charge-offs of $3.3 million on loans that were in nonaccrual status during the second quarter of 2024. 

The increase in nonaccrual loans when compared to December 31, 2023 was primarily driven by six commercial loans, totaling $11.5 million, and two single-family residential loans, totaling $918,000, becoming nonaccrual during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, partially offset by $3.3 million in charge-offs.  Loans past due more than 30 days totaled $7.7 million at September 30, 2024, compared to $7.6 million at June 30, 2024 and $2.0 million at December 31, 2023. 

The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases totaled $16.8 million at September 30, 2024 compared to $19.3 million at June 30, 2024 and $16.9 million at December 31, 2023.  The ratio of the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases to total loans and leases was 0.97% at September 30, 2024, compared to 1.13% at June 30, 2024 and 0.99% at December 31, 2023.  The decrease in the allowance for credit losses during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by $3.3 million in charge-offs, which included a commercial participation loan that had a $2.9 million additional reserve placed on it in the second quarter of 2024.

There was $558,000 in provision for credit losses expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to $3.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and $1.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.  The decrease in the provision for credit losses when compared to the prior quarter was primarily driven by additional reserves placed on two individually-evaluated commercial loan participations in the second quarter of 2024.  These two loan participations were acquired from regional banks.  Net charge-offs for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 totaled $3.3 million, compared to net charge-offs of $2.1 million for the prior quarter and net charge-offs of $126,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Deposits

Deposits totaled $1.75 billion at September 30, 2024, an increase of $49.1 million, or 2.9%, compared to $1.70 billion at June 30, 2024, and an increase of $1.5 million, or 0.09%, when compared to $1.74 billion at December 31, 2023.  The increase when compared to June 30, 2024 was primarily due to a $39.9 million increase in noninterest-bearing account balances, coupled with a $9.2 million increase in interest-bearing accounts balances.  The increase when compared to December 31, 2023, was primarily due to a $21.8 million increase in noninterest-bearing account balances, partially offset by a $20.3 million decrease in interest-bearing account balances.  The decrease in interest-bearing account balances when compared to December 31, 2023 included a $14.7 million reduction in brokered deposits.

At September 30, 2024, approximately 30.2% of our deposit balances exceeded the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000, as compared to approximately 28.6% at June 30, 2024 and approximately 29.2% at December 31, 2023.

Borrowings

FHLB advances and other debt totaled $108.7 million at September 30, 2024 and decreased $28.5 million, or 20.8%, when compared to $137.2 million at June 30, 2024 and decreased $1.3 million when compared to $110.0 million at December 31, 2023. The decrease when compared to June 30, 2024 was primarily due to a $26.0 million short-term borrowing that paid off during the third quarter 2024, coupled with a $2.5 million maturity of a FHLB fixed rate advance. 

Capital

Stockholders' equity totaled $164.0 million at September 30, 2024, an increase of $4.4 million, or 2.8%, when compared to $159.6 million at June 30, 2024, and an increase of $8.6 million, or 5.6%, from $155.4 million at December 31, 2023.  The increase in total stockholders' equity during the three months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily attributed to net income, partially offset by $388,000 in dividend payments. The increase in stockholders' equity during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily attributed to net income, partially offset by $1.2 million in dividend payments.
