PORTLAND, Maine, Oct. 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northeast Bank (the “Bank”) (NASDAQ: NBN), a Maine-based full-service bank, today reported net income of $8.3 million, or $1.12 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to net income of $9.9 million, or $1.20 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2021, earnings declined primarily due to a decrease of $6.4 million in correspondent fee income and an increase of $1.1 million in the provision for loan losses, partially offset by an increase of $4.8 million in net interest and dividend income.

The Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.01 per share, payable on November 28, 2022, to shareholders of record as of November 14, 2022.

Discussing these results, Rick Wayne, Chief Executive Officer, said, “We began the new fiscal year with a strong first quarter. Our National Lending Division generated $259.3 million in originations and purchases for the quarter, including record originations of $181.7 million, growing the National Lending portfolio by $166.8 million, or 13.5%, over June 30, 2022, or an increase of $412.5 million, or 41.6%, over September 30, 2021. The growth in our National Lending portfolio is attributable to both a high level of originations and purchases in the quarter and less runoff, particularly in our purchased loan portfolio. In the current higher interest rate environment, we have seen an increasing number of borrowers extend their loans with the Bank rather than refinance elsewhere. In the current quarter, purchased loan runoff as a percentage of average balance was the lowest in fourteen quarters at 5.08%, compared to an average of 7.93% over the most recent fourteen quarters. A decline in purchased loan payoffs results in less transactional income in the quarter, but a higher balance of loans going forward. For the quarter, we are reporting earnings of $1.12 per diluted common share, a return on average equity of 13.1%, a return on average assets of 2.0%, and an efficiency ratio of 49.9%.”

Mr. Wayne continued, “Our purchase loan activity has been very significant since quarter end, with loan purchases in October aggregating unpaid principal balances of approximately $303.6 million.”

As of September 30, 2022, total assets were $1.74 billion, an increase of $160.2 million, or 10.1%, from total assets of $1.58 billion as of June 30, 2022, primarily due to an increase of $159.4 million in loans. The principal components of the changes in the balance sheet follow:

Total return on purchased loans is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. See reconciliation in below table entitled “Total Return on Purchased Loans.”
 


2.Deposits increased by $40.7 million, or 3.2%, from June 30, 2022, attributable to increases in time deposits of $110.6 million, or 86.9%, and savings and interest checking deposits of $91.2 million, or 15.6%, primarily offset by a decrease in demand deposits of $161.2 million, or 49.0%.
  
3.Short-term Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased by $120.0 million, or 800%, to fund loan growth.
  
4.Shareholders’ equity increased by $3.8 million, or 1.5%, from June 30, 2022, primarily due to net income of $8.3 million and stock-based compensation of $649 thousand, partially offset by the repurchase of 108 thousand shares of common stock at a weighted average price per share of $37.88, which resulted in a $4.1 million decrease in shareholders’ equity.

Net income decreased by $1.6 million to $8.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to net income of $9.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

1.Net interest and dividend income before provision for loan losses increased by $4.8 million to $23.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to $18.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to the following:
  • An increase in interest income earned on loans of $6.1 million, primarily due to an increase in interest income earned on National Lending Division originated and purchased portfolios, due to higher average balances in both portfolios and higher rates on the originated portfolio, partially offset by lower rates on the purchased portfolio; and
  • An increase in interest income earned on short-term investments of $462 thousand, due to higher rates, partially offset by lower average balances; partially offset by,
  • An increase in deposit interest expense of $1.5 million, due to higher interest rates and higher average balances in interest-bearing deposits; and
  • An increase in Federal Home Loan Bank advance interest expense of $268 thousand, due to higher average balances.

3.Noninterest income decreased by $6.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to the following:

(1) – The Bank’s share
(2) – Expected to be recognized into income over life of loans
(3) – Loan Source’s ending PPP loan balance was $726.0 million as of September 30, 2022


In addition to this decrease:

  • An increase in net unrealized loss on equity securities of $197 thousand; and
  • A decrease in fees for customers of $190 thousand, due to lower commercial loan servicing fees resulting from the payoff of U.S. Small Business Administration loans; partially offset by,
  • An increase in gain on termination of interest rate swap of $96 thousand, due to the Bank’s termination of its interest rate swaps during the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
4.Noninterest expense decreased by $704 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to the following:
  • A decrease in loan expense of $1.6 million, due to $1.6 million of one-time correspondent expenses associated with the wrap-up of PPP origination activity recognized during the quarter ended September 30, 2021; partially offset by,
  • An increase in salaries and employee benefits expense of $703 thousand, primarily due to increases in regular employee compensation and stock compensation expense; and
  • An increase in other noninterest expense of $241 thousand, primarily due to a $164 thousand increase in deposit expense, primarily from increased excess deposit insurance costs, and a $107 thousand increase in travel and meals and entertainment expense during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to September 30, 2021, when there was relatively minimal travel due to COVID restrictions.
5.Income tax expense decreased by $672 thousand to $3.5 million, or an effective tax rate of 29.9%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to $4.2 million, or an effective tax rate of 29.9%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to lower pre-tax income, which decreased by $2.3 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

As of September 30, 2022, nonperforming assets totaled $13.7 million, or 0.79% of total assets, as compared to $12.9 million, or 0.82% of total assets, as of June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to three National Lending Division loans totaling $2.5 million that were placed on nonaccrual during the quarter ended September 30, 2022, partially offset by four National Lending Division loans totaling $1.9 million that paid off or returned to accrual. Additionally, REO increased by $90 thousand due to the transfer of a former branch property from fixed assets during the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

As of September 30, 2022, past due loans totaled $14.1 million, or 0.97% of total loans, as compared to past due loans totaling $7.0 million, or 0.53% of total loans as of June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to nine National Lending Division loans totaling $7.3 million becoming past due during the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

As of September 30, 2022, the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 15.6%, compared to 16.1% at June 30, 2022, and the Total capital ratio was 17.8% at September 30, 2022, compared to 19.5% at June 30, 2022. Capital ratios were primarily affected by increased assets and increased earnings.
