ConnectOne Bancorp, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2023 Results
ConnectOne Bancorp (CNOB) reported a net income of $23.4 million for Q1 2023, down from $31.0 million in Q4 2022 and $29.9 million in Q1 2022. The diluted earnings per share decreased to $0.59, reflecting a $7.6 million drop in net income largely due to a $10.9 million decline in net interest income. Liquidity has been strengthened to nearly $4 billion, covering 250% of uninsured deposits. The tangible common equity ratio stood at 8.9%, while the CET1 ratio was 10.5%. The net interest margin compressed to 3.00%, driven by rising interest costs and increased competition. Despite these challenges, the company increased its quarterly common dividend by 9.7% to $0.17 per share and repurchased 205,000 shares. The outlook for 2023 suggests flat loan and expense growth amid economic uncertainty.

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., April 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ConnectOne Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: CNOB) (the “Company” or “ConnectOne”), parent company of ConnectOne Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income available to common stockholders of

Frank Sorrentino, ConnectOne’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented, “Our stated goals of maintaining our client relationships, transforming our infrastructure, and growing smartly were highly evident in this unprecedented quarter. We reached out to our client base with a sense of urgency resulting in net deposit inflows for the quarter; we lowered our uninsured deposits, uncollateralized deposits from approximately
Mr. Sorrentino added, “During the latter part of 2022, and through the first quarter of 2023, we had success playing offense, deepening client relationships and building core deposits, with inflows during the quarter exceeding outflows. That said, by intentionally addressing increased deposit rate competition earlier than most, we experienced accelerated net interest margin compression which negatively impacted first quarter earnings results. Nonetheless, as we execute our business plan, we continue to be disciplined in our approach and believe that ConnectOne’s long-term profitability outlook remains strong.”
Mr. Sorrentino concluded, “We will continue to execute on some of the market related opportunities that have recently materialized, however, given the current economic outlook, we expect relatively flat loan and expense growth for the remainder of 2023. And although the industry remains burdened by near-term headwinds, I remain extremely confident in the Company's future as we move through 2023 and eventually transition to a more normalized environment.”
