Insights

The reported decline in net income for Greene County Bancorp, Inc. is a vital metric for investors, indicating a 25.9% decrease in profitability for the nine-month period compared to the previous year. This contraction is attributed to the net interest margin compression, a result of the current high-interest rate environment. Notably, the company pursued a strategy to raise deposit rates to retain customers, which consequently increased interest expenses more rapidly than asset repricing could offset.

Investors should be cognizant of the leverage that Greene County Bancorp, Inc. has exercised through brokered deposits to maintain liquidity. This move can be advantageous for supporting loan growth; however, it also carries inherent risks associated with interest rate fluctuations and the cost of funds. The bank's capital region expansion could indicate a strategic move for growth, but it's imperative to monitor how this will balance with the current pressure on net interest margins. Investors should consider both the potential for growth in new markets and the current economic pressures when assessing the bank's future performance.

Within the banking sector, Greene County Bancorp's decision to expand with a non-branch Capital Region Banking Center aligns with an industry trend towards consolidation of services and regional growth. However, this strategic move comes at a time when the company has experienced a decrease in net interest income, which has been a significant revenue driver for most traditional financial institutions.

Considering the customer-centric focus noted in their strategy, it's clear that Greene County Bancorp is aiming to deepen customer relationships and cross-sell services. Despite the current rate challenges, if successful, this approach could translate into stronger customer loyalty and diversified revenue streams. Investors should track customer acquisition and retention metrics in the new Capital Region Banking Center to gauge the effectiveness of this strategy.

The adoption of the CECL model, which requires the estimation of expected credit losses over the life of loans, has led to a recalibration of the bank's allowance for credit losses. Greene County Bancorp's proactive adjustments resulted in a $1.3 million decrease to the allowance for credit losses on loans, displaying improvement in credit quality forecasting. Despite this, overall loan quality remains a central focus as the bank reports a modest increase in loans classified as substandard and special mention.

From a risk perspective, the bank's asset quality metrics, such as nonperforming loans ratio and the provision for credit losses on loans, should be closely monitored by investors. These metrics are especially important in the context of the current economic environment where a rise in interest rates could pressure borrowers and potentially lead to increased defaults.

CATSKILL, N.Y., April 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Greene County Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: GCBC), the holding company for The Bank of Greene County and its subsidiary Greene County Commercial Bank, today reported net income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, which is the third quarter of the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. Net income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 was $5.9 million, or $0.34 per basic and diluted share, and $18.0 million, or $1.06 per basic and diluted share, respectively, as compared to $8.1 million, or $0.48 per basic and diluted share, and $24.3 million, or $1.43 per basic and diluted share, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively. Net income decreased $6.3 million, or 25.9%, when comparing the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Highlights:

  • Net Income: $18.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024
  • Total Assets: $2.9 billion at March 31, 2024, a new record high
  • Net Loans: $1.5 billion at March 31, 2024, a new record high
  • Return on Average Assets: 0.91% for the nine months ended March 31, 2024
  • Return on Average Equity: 12.69% for the nine months ended March 31, 2024

Donald Gibson, President & CEO stated: “I am proud to report solid net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, despite what continues to be a very difficult economic environment with a continued inverted yield curve. We remain focused on our long-term strategy that has served us well. Our strategy is to continue to grow and build deep lasting relationships in all five of our primary lines of business which include retail, commercial, municipal, private banking and investment services. We continue to remain focused on our local markets in the Hudson Valley and Capital Regions in New York State.

To enhance our strategy highlighted above, on March 19, 2024, we opened a new Capital Region Banking Center, located at 3 Winners Circle, Albany, New York. This is our first non-branch office in the Capital Region. We have made tremendous strides in the Capital Region and our new Center is specifically designed to build on that momentum.”

Total consolidated assets for the Company were $2.9 billion at March 31, 2024, primarily consisting of $1.5 billion of net loans and $1.0 billion of total securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity. Consolidated deposits totaled $2.6 billion at March 31, 2024, consisting of retail, business, municipal and private banking relationships.

Pre-provision for credit losses net income was $19.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the pre-provision for credit losses net income of $23.1 million, for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease of $4.1 million, or 18.0%, as the Company booked a negative provision for loan losses for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in net income was primarily the result of net interest margin compression due to the current interest rate environment. The Company has maintained higher levels of cash liquidity by obtaining brokered deposits, which increased the interest expense on deposits. In an effort to maintain our customer relationships, the Company raised rates paid on deposits, which has been at a faster rate than the Company was able to reprice assets. Interest rates are highly sensitive to factors that are beyond the Company’s control, including competition, the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve, inflation, the volatility of financial markets and geopolitical tensions. Elevated interest rates could continue to increase our cost of funds and negatively impact our net interest margin. The Company believes that increasing deposits rates and maintaining long-term relationships will benefit the Company for continued growth and earnings potential in the future.

Selected highlights for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 are as follows:

Net Interest Income and Margin

  • Net interest income decreased $2.9 million to $12.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $15.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Net interest income decreased $8.9 million to $38.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 from $47.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in net interest income was due to an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities, which increased $89.5 million and $85.6 million when comparing the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and increases in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, which increased 118 and 137 basis points when comparing the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in net interest income was partially offset by increases in the average balance of interest-earning assets, which increased $80.5 million and $76.5 million when comparing the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and increases in interest rates on interest-earning assets, which increased 53 and 69 basis points when comparing the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

    Average loan balances increased $66.7 million and $88.2 million and the yield on loans increased 44 and 58 basis points when comparing the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Average securities decreased $34.0 million and $68.9 million and the yield on such securities increased 18 and 61 basis points when comparing the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Average interest-bearing bank balances and federal funds increased $49.3 million and $58.3 million and the yield decreased 46 basis points and increased 118 basis points when comparing the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

    The cost of NOW deposits increased 132 and 162 basis points, the cost of certificates of deposit increased 208 and 216 basis points, and the cost of savings and money market deposits increased 27 and 18 basis points when comparing the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was partly due to growth in the average balances of interest-bearing liabilities of $89.5 million and $85.6 million when comparing the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This was due to an increase in NOW deposits of $134.0 million and $164.8 million and an increase in average certificates of deposits of $73.2 million and $48.1 million, partially offset by a decrease in average savings and money market deposits of $95.1 million and $102.0 million and a decrease in average borrowings of $22.6 million and $25.4 million when comparing the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Yields on interest-earning assets and costs of interest-bearing deposits increased for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, as the Company continues to reprice assets and deposits into the higher interest rate environment. The Company determines interest rates offered on deposit accounts based on current and future economic conditions, competition, liquidity needs and the asset-liability position of the Company, while growing the retention of relationships.
  • Net interest rate spread and margin both decreased when comparing the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Net interest rate spread decreased 65 and 68 basis points to 1.66% and 1.75% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to 2.31% and 2.43% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively. Net interest margin decreased 53 and 54 basis points to 1.90% and 1.99% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to 2.43% and 2.53% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively. The decrease was due to the higher interest rate environment, which caused competitive pressure to increase rates paid on deposits, resulting in higher interest expense. This was partially offset by increases in interest income on loans and securities, as they reprice at higher yields and the interest rates earned on new balances were higher than the low levels from the prior period.
  • Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis includes the additional amount of interest income that would have been earned if the Company’s investment in tax-exempt securities and loans had been subject to federal and New York State income taxes yielding the same after-tax income. Tax equivalent net interest margin was 2.20% and 2.66% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and was 2.25% and 2.73% for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

CECL Adoption

  • The Company adopted the Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) accounting standard effective July 1, 2023. As a result of the day-one CECL adjustment, the Company recognized a $1.3 million decrease to the allowance for credit losses on loans, a $503,000 increase to the allowance for credit losses on investment securities held-to-maturity, a $1.5 million increase to the reserve for unfunded loan commitments, and a $510,000 decrease to retained earnings, net of $186,000 in deferred income taxes, compared to fiscal year end June 30, 2023.

Credit Quality and Provision for Credit Losses on Loans

  • Provision for credit losses on loans amounted to $277,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and a benefit of $944,000 for the three month ended March 31, 2023. Provision for credit losses on loans amounted to $922,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and a benefit of $1.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. The loan provision for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to the growth in gross loans, offset by improvements in the economic forecasts. The allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans receivable was 1.38% at March 31, 2024 compared to 1.51% at June 30, 2023 and 1.42% at day-one CECL adoption (July 1, 2023).
  • Loans classified as substandard and special mention totaled $51.6 million at March 31, 2024 and $41.9 million at June 30, 2023, an increase of $9.7 million. There were no loans classified as doubtful or loss at March 31, 2024 or June 30, 2023.
  • Net charge-offs on loans amounted to $204,000 and $190,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, an increase of $14,000. Net charge-offs on loans totaled $420,000 and $407,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. There were no significant charge offs in any loan segment during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024.
  • Nonperforming loans amounted to $5.6 million at March 31, 2024 and $5.5 million at June 30, 2023. The activity in nonperforming loans during the period included $482,000 in loan repayments, $93,000 in loans returning to performing status, $182,000 in charge-offs or transfers to foreclosed, and $940,000 of loans placed into nonperforming status. At March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, nonperforming assets were 0.21% of total assets. Nonperforming loans were 0.39% of net loans at March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023.

Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense

  • Noninterest income increased $353,000, or 11.5%, to $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Noninterest income increased $1.1 million, or 12.6%, to $10.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $9.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. The increase during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to an increase in fee income earned on customer interest rate swap contracts and income from bank owned life insurance.
  • Noninterest expense decreased $622,000, or 6.3%, to $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $9.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Noninterest expense decreased $1.2 million, or 4.2%, to $27.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $28.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in legal and professional fees, and a benefit from reducing the reserve for unfunded loan commitments included in other expense, as compared to the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023. This was partially offset by the increase in FDIC insurance premiums as compared to the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023.

Income Taxes

  • Provision for income taxes reflects the expected tax associated with the pre-tax income generated for the given period and certain regulatory requirements. The effective tax rate was 5.2% and 9.8% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 13.7% and 15.0% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023. The statutory tax rate is impacted by the benefits derived from tax-exempt bond and loan income, the Company’s real estate investment trust subsidiary income, and income received on the bank owned life insurance, to arrive at the effective tax rate. The decrease in the current quarter’s effective tax rate primarily reflected a higher mix of tax-exempt income from municipal bonds, tax advantage loans and bank-owned life insurance in proportion to pre-tax income.

Balance Sheet Summary

The Company maintains an increased level of brokered deposits from several available sources as an alternative to borrowed funds, and uses the funds to support loan growth, overall liquidity and a higher cash position.
  • Borrowings for the Company amounted to $85.8 million at March 31, 2024 compared to $49.5 million at June 30, 2023, an increase of $36.3 million. At March 31, 2024, borrowings included $49.6 million of Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes, $27.0 million in the Bank Term Funding Program with the Federal Reserve Bank, and $9.2 million of long-term borrowings with the FHLB.
  • Shareholders’ equity increased to $199.2 million at March 31, 2024 from $183.3 million at June 30, 2023, resulting primarily from net income of $18.0 million and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $991,000, partially offset by dividends declared and paid of $2.6 million and the day-one CECL adoption impact of $510,000.
