WATSEKA, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- IF Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: IROQ) (the “Company”) the holding company for Iroquois Federal Savings and Loan Association (the “Association”), announced unaudited net income of $1.7 million, or $0.56 per basic share and $0.54 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to net income of $1.5 million, or $0.48 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2020.

For the three months ended December 31, 2021, net interest income was $5.7 million compared to $5.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. We recorded a credit for loan losses of $(76,000) for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to a credit for loan losses of $(49,000) for the three months ended December 31, 2020. Interest income increased to $6.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, from $6.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. Interest expense decreased to $627,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2021, from $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020.

Non-interest expense increased to $4.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, from $4.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020.

The Company announced unaudited net income of $3.6 million, or $1.17 per basic share and $1.15 per diluted share for the six months ended December 31, 2021, compared to $2.8 million, or $0.92 per basic share and $0.91 per diluted share for the six months ended December 31, 2020. For the six months ended December 31, 2021, net interest income was $11.3 million compared to $9.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020. We recorded a credit for loan losses of $(203,000) for the six months ended December 31, 2021, compared to a provision for loan losses of $266,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in provision for loan losses was primarily due to a decrease in our loan portfolio, including a decrease in loans with COVID-19 modifications. At December 31, 2021, we had 118 loans with current balances of $67.3 million that received COVID-19 modifications at some point. These modifications allowed borrowers to defer the principal component of loan payments for up to six months. As of December 31, 2021, 115 of these loans totaling $64.2 million have returned to principal and interest payments, leaving 3 loans for $3.1 million still under temporary modifications.

Interest income increased to $12.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021, from $12.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020. Interest expense decreased to $1.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021 from $2.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020. Non-interest income decreased to $3.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021, from $3.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020. Non-interest expense increased to $9.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021 from $9.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020. Provision for income tax increased to $1.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021, from $1.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020.

Total assets at December 31, 2021 were $772.6 million compared to $797.3 million at June 30, 2021. Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $33.6 million at December 31, 2021, from $62.7 million at June 30, 2021. Investment securities increased to $213.1 million at December 31, 2021, from $189.9 million at June 30, 2021. Net loans receivable decreased to $491.8 million at December 31, 2021, from $513.4 million at June 30, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, we had 43 SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans totaling $8.0 million remaining in our portfolio. Deposits decreased to $642.2 million at December 31, 2021, from $667.6 million at June 30, 2021. The large decrease in deposits and cash and cash equivalents was partially due to approximately $55.6 million in deposits from a public entity that collects real estate taxes that were on deposit at June 30, 2021 and withdrawn in the six months ended December 31, 2021, when tax monies were distributed. Total borrowings, including repurchase agreements, increased to $31.9 million at December 31, 2021 from $31.2 million at June 30, 2021. Stockholders’ equity increased to $86.5 million at December 31, 2021 from $85.3 million at June 30, 2021. Equity increased due to net income of $3.6 million, and ESOP and stock equity plan activity of $614,000, partially offset by a decrease of $2.5 million in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, and the payment of approximately $532,000 in dividends to our shareholders.
