Insights

Financial Analyst

NB Bancorp, Inc. reported a substantial recovery with a net income of $8.7 million this quarter, a positive swing from the previous quarter's net loss of $13.6 million. This pivot is a signal of operational resilience and could be a relevant indicator for investors considering the overall health of the company. The increase in net interest margin by 21 basis points to 3.60% suggests efficiency in earning from interest-bearing assets, which is fundamental in the banking industry. Moreover, investors would be interested in the growth of gross loans by 1.7% and the total deposits by 11.4%, as these figures are critical for future revenue forecasts.

Market Research Analyst

The public should take note of NB Bancorp's strategic growth in core deposits and cautious capital deployment. With the current emphasis on capital and liquidity in the banking sector, the company's strong capital position, boasting 15.8% shareholders' equity to total assets, positions it as a potentially stable investment amidst economic uncertainties. Furthermore, the shift from construction and land development loans to multifamily loans demonstrates a response to market demands and might indicate a strategic realignment towards more stable, long-term revenue streams in the commercial real estate sector.

Risk Management Specialist

Asset quality remains a paramount concern for investors and NB Bancorp's annualized net charge-offs of 0.19% suggest a well-managed loan portfolio. However, the slight increase in non-performing loans, though marginal, should be monitored over subsequent quarters for signs of deterioration in loan performance. The allowance for credit losses has increased to 0.87% of total gross loans, which is a prudent step in bolstering the bank's defenses against potential credit losses. This strategic financial cushioning could reassure investors looking for risk-averse opportunities.

BALANCE SHEET
Total assets were $4.65 billion as of March 31, 2024, representing an increase of $116.6 million, or 2.6%, from December 31, 2023.

• Cash and cash equivalents increased to $315.0 million from $272.6 million, a $42.4 million, or 15.6%, increase from the prior quarter as a result of deposit growth outpacing loan and investment growth.
• Available-for-sale securities increased $17.7 million, or 9.3%, from the prior quarter, to $207.2 million, due to purchases of U.S. treasuries and government agency securities during the quarter.
• Net loans increased to $3.92 billion, representing an increase of $63.3 million, or 1.6%, from the prior quarter as demand for new originations continued. The main driver of the new growth was in commercial real estate loans, which increased $136.7 million, or 9.9%, partially offset by a decline in construction and land development loans of $87.4 million or 14.0%, as $111.0 million of construction loans converted to multi-family loans during the quarter.
• Deposits totaled $3.77 billion representing an increase of $384.7 million, or 11.4%, from the prior quarter. The increase in deposits was the result of growth in customer deposits, primarily certificates of deposit, which increased $150.2 million, or 11.4% from the prior quarter, along with money market accounts and noninterest-bearing demand deposit accounts, which increased by $76.3 million, or 8.6%, and $51.3 million, or 9.7%, respectively from the prior quarter. Additionally, brokered deposits increased $116.4 million, or 63.4%, from the prior quarter, as a result of lower rates versus alternative funding sources.
• Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston ("FHLB") advances totaled $60.8 million representing a decrease of $222.5 million, or 78.5%, from the prior quarter. The decrease in FHLB advances was the result of growth in brokered deposits due to lower rates and overall deposit growth.
• Shareholders' equity was $733.8 million, representing a decrease of $24.1 million, or 3.2%, from the prior quarter. The primary driver for the decrease was a $32.8 million increase in the unallocated shares held by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") from the final purchases for the funding of the ESOP, partially offset by an $8.7 million increase in retained earnings from net income during the quarter.

NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income was $38.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to $35.3 million for the prior quarter, representing an increase of $3.4 million, or 9.5%.

• The increase in net interest income was primarily driven by an increase in net interest margin of 21 basis points, from 3.60% during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared to 3.39% during the prior quarter.
• The increase in interest income during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was attributable to increases from both volume and rates, which contributed $2.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively.
• The increase in interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by increases in rates on interest-bearing deposits, which increased interest expense by $1.5 million, along with increases in volume on interest-bearing deposits, which increased interest expense by $845 thousand.

NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income was $3.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to $3.3 million for the prior quarter, representing an increase of $249 thousand, or 7.7%.

• Other income was $623 thousand, compared to $18 thousand in the prior quarter, representing an increase of $605 thousand, or 3,361.1%, due to a one-time debit card brand signing bonus.
• Swap contract income was $487 thousand, compared to $95 thousand in the prior quarter, representing an increase of $392 thousand, or 412.6%, due to increased swap contract originations.
• Customer service fees decreased $753 thousand, or 28.6%, from the prior quarter, primarily driven by lower one-way deposit fee income from initial public offering ("IPO") funds that had been swept off-balance sheet.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was $25.6 million, representing a decrease of $27.2 million, or 51.6%, from the prior quarter. This is directly attributable to one-time costs associated with the Company's mutual-to-stock conversion and IPO during the quarter ended December 31, 2023.

• Charitable contributions expense decreased $19.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 as a result of $19.1 million of expense during the prior quarter resulting from the contribution to the Needham Bank Charitable Foundation in connection with the Company's mutual-to-stock conversion and IPO.
• Salaries and benefits were $17.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, representing a decrease of $6.8 million, or 27.8%, from the prior quarter, primarily due to a $7.9 million decrease in discretionary employee and a $1.5 million decrease in pension expense as a result of the termination of the Company's defined benefit pension plan during the prior quarter; partially offset by increased salaries expense of $950 thousand, mostly due to increased headcount, increased FICA tax expenses of $620 thousand, due to the reset of taxes at the beginning of the year along with taxes associated with the bonus payout, and increased ESOP compensation costs of $588 thousand from the ESOP implementation.
• Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and state insurance assessments expense decreased by $1.5 million, or 80.6%, to $361 thousand, as a result of improved capital ratios as a result of the mutual-to-stock conversion and IPO.

INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was $3.4 million, representing a $10.0 million increase, or 152.6%, from the prior quarter.  The increase was primarily driven by the net loss in the prior quarter and no investment tax credits earned during the current quarter. The effective tax rate for the current quarter was 28.3%, compared to (32.5%) in the prior quarter due to income tax credits received in the prior quarter, whereas none were received in the current quarter.

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIO
Commercial real estate loans increased $136.7 million, or 9.9%, to $1.52 billion, during the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

• Multi-family loans increased $111.1 million or 52.9%, as a result of movement from construction and land development loans, along with originations during the quarter.
• Other and mixed use commercial real estate loans increased $35.8 million and $12.6 million, respectively, during the quarter resulting from continued originations.
• Increases noted above were partially offset by a decrease in commercial real estate office loans of $23.5 million, or 10.5%, during the quarter as a result of paydowns on outstanding loans.
• The Company's $321.1 million multifamily real estate loan portfolio consists of high-quality, performing loans primarily located in the Greater Boston area, primarily all of which are adjustable-rate loans.
• The Company's $200.1 million office portfolio is predominantly located in the Greater Boston suburbs and mostly consists of Class A and B office space. The typical use of these office loans are medical and lab space and do not consist of high-rise towers located in Boston.

ASSET QUALITY

• The allowance for credit losses was $34.3 million as of March 31, 2024, or 0.87% of total gross loans, compared to $32.2 million, or 0.83% of total loans at December 31, 2023. The Company recorded provisions for credit losses of $4.4 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to $5.9 million for the prior quarter, which included $539 thousand and $4.2 million in provision for unfunded commitments and loans, respectively.
• Non-performing loans totaled $11.1 million as of March 31, 2024, an increase of $265 thousand, or 2.45%, from $10.8 million at the end of the prior quarter.
• During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded total net charge-offs of $1.8 million, or 0.19% of average total loans on an annualized basis, compared to $1.3 million, or 0.14% on an annualized basis of average total loans in the prior quarter. The increase in total net charge-offs during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to charge-offs of purchased consumer loans, primarily home improvement and solar loans.
• The Company's loan portfolio consists primarily of commercial real estate and multifamily loans, one-to four-family residential real estate loans, construction and land development loans, commercial and industrial loans and consumer loans. These loans are primarily made to individuals and businesses located in our primary lending market area, which is the Greater Boston metropolitan area and surrounding communities in Massachusetts, eastern Connecticut, southern New Hampshire and Rhode Island.
