POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y.,  July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Rhinebeck Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ: RBKB), the holding company of Rhinebeck Bank (the "Bank"), reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 of $2.0 million ($0.19 per basic and $0.18 per diluted share), which was $536,000, or 20.9%, less than the comparable prior year period. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 of $4.1 million ($0.38 per basic and $0.37 per diluted share), was $1.8 million, or 30.6%, less than the same period last year. 

The decrease in net income was primarily due to an increase in the provision for loan losses of $1.5 million and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.  The Company recorded a credit to the provision for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to an expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. For both 2022 periods, an increase in net interest income was partially offset by a decrease in non-interest income and an increase in non-interest expense. The Company's return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.63% and 7.06%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2022 as compared to 0.86% and 8.54%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2021. The Company's return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.64% and 6.86%, respectively, for the first six months of 2022 as compared to 1.01% and 9.95%, respectively, for the first six months of 2021.

President and Chief Executive Officer Michael J. Quinn said, "Our assets continued to grow with loan balances increasing by $72 million, or 8.4%, in the first six months of the year.  This, combined with rising rates, produced growth in net interest income (pre-provision) of $2.1 million, or 10.9%.  This helped offset rising operating costs which reflected our expansion undertakings and the impacts of increasing inflation.  Our continuing challenge will be to maintain or improve this level of growth while finding ways to manage the continuing impacts of inflation on our operations."

Income Statement Analysis

Net interest income increased $1.7 million, or 19.0%, to $10.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Year to date net interest income increased $2.1 million, or 10.9%, to $21.0 million compared to $18.9 million for the prior year six-month period. Quarter over quarter the improvement was driven by higher interest-earning asset balances, higher loan and investment yields, and lower costs for deposits and borrowings. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the average balances of interest-earning assets grew by $78.8 million to $1.20 billion and the average yields improved by 26 basis points to 3.92%, while the costs of deposits fell by 15 basis points to 0.42%. When comparing year to date periods, the average balance of interest-earning assets grew by $95.0 million while the average yields fell slightly by 6 basis points to 3.82%. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities which fell by 20 basis points to 0.42%.

The provision for loan losses increased by $1.5 million, from a credit to the provision of $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 to an expense of $346,000 for the current quarter. The provision for loan losses increased by $1.8 million, from a credit to the provision of $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to an expense of $567,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The credit to the provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to a decline in loan balances, exclusive of PPP loans, a reduction in specific allocations to the allowance for loan losses and a general improvement in the economic conditions as our customers showed signs of recovering from the pandemic. An increase in indirect loan balances in 2022 was the primary factor leading to the increase in the provision.

Recoveries outpaced charge-offs, resulting in net recoveries of $123,000 and $13,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.  A net recovery for the six months ended June 30, 2022 totaled $43,000 compared to a net charge-off of $290,000 for the comparable period in 2021.  The year-to-date net recoveries in 2022 were primarily due to a $143,000 recovery of a residential mortgage loan, pricing gains on the sales of repossessed vehicles as used car prices have risen significantly, and an improvement in the overall economic environment. There was a general overall improvement in loan quality during the first six months of 2022 as overdue account balances fell $75,000, we had net recoveries of $43,000, and non-performing assets decreased $2.1 million.

Non-interest income totaled $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $353,000, or 19.0%, from the comparable period in the prior year, due primarily to a decrease in the net gain on sales of mortgage loans as activity decreased due to the increasing interest rate environment. Gain on sales of mortgage loans decreased $325,000, or 52.6%, compared to the prior year quarter as the Company sold $7.2 million of residential mortgage loans in the second quarter of 2022 as compared to $15.3 million in the second quarter of 2021. A net realized loss on the sale of securities of $162,000 in the second quarter of 2022 also contributed to the decrease in non-interest income.  These decreases were partially offset by an increase in service charges on deposit accounts of $88,000, or 14.2%, as transaction volume increased.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, total non-interest income decreased $883,000, or 21.6%. The reduction between periods was mostly due to the decrease in the gain on the sale of mortgage loans of $984,000 or 58.7%, the 2021 one-time gain from the collection of a life insurance claim of $195,000 and a net realized loss in 2022 from the sale of securities of $162,000, partially offset by an increase in service charges on deposit accounts of $185,000, an improvement in investment advisory income of $128,000, a $64,000 increase in the cash value of life insurance, and a net improvement of $83,000 in other income items.

For the second quarter of 2022, non-interest expense totaled $9.5 million, an increase of $609,000, or 6.9%, over the comparable 2021 period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits of $522,000, or 10.5%,  due to the addition of new positions, annual merit increases, production incentives and employee benefit increases, as well as the competitive pressures of the current job market. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, occupancy expenses increased $161,000, or 15.5%, primarily resulting from inflationary pressures  on our service contracts. Marketing expense increased by $55,000, data processing costs increased $32,000 and FDIC insurance costs increased $24,000. These increases were partially offset by decreased professional fees of $49,000 and a decrease in other non-interest expenses of $129,000, or 8.4%.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, non-interest expense totaled $18.6 million, an increase of $1.8 million, or 10.5%, over the comparable 2021 period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits of $1.4 million, or 15.1%, due to branch expansion, new position openings, annual merit increases, production incentives and employee benefit increases, as well as the competitive pressures of the current job market. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, occupancy expenses increased $305,000, or 15.3%, as a result of the additional rent, depreciation and other expenses related to branch expansion. The addition of branches was also primarily responsible for increased data processing costs of $123,000, increased marketing expense of $84,000 and increased FDIC insurance costs of $35,000. These increases were partially offset by decreased professional fees of $63,000 and a decrease in other non-interest expenses of $178,000, or 6.2%.

Balance Sheet Analysis

Total assets increased $11.6 million, or 0.9%, to $1.29 billion at June 30, 2022 from $1.28 billion at December 31, 2021. Net loans increased $72.2 million, or 8.4%, primarily due to a large increase in our indirect automobile loan portfolio. Indirect automobile loans increased $52.5 million, or 13.7%, and commercial real estate increased $26.1 million, or 8.4%, while commercial and industrial loans decreased $12.9 million, or 12.3%.  Available for sale securities decreased $34.7 million, or 12.4%, primarily due to paydowns, sales, calls and maturities of $42.9 million and an increase of $20.8 million in unrealized market losses, partially offset by $29.2 million in purchases. Cash and due from banks decreased $32.2 million, or 44.6%, primarily due to a decrease in deposits held at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Deferred tax assets increased $4.6 million mostly in relation to the increase in unrealized losses on securities.

Past due loans remained fairly stable between December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022, finishing at $13.4 million, or 1.5% of total loans, down from $13.5 million, or 1.6% of total loans at year-end 2021. Our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total gross loans was 0.88% at June 30, 2022 as compared to 0.89% at December 31, 2021.

Total liabilities increased $24.3 million, or 2.1%, to $1.18 billion at June 30, 2022 from $1.16 billion at December 31, 2021. The increase was due to an increase in deposits of $10.4 million, or 1.0%. Interest bearing deposits increased $20.9 million, or 2.7%, while non-interest bearing deposits decreased $10.5 million, or 3.3%. Increases in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of $5.8 million, mortgagors' escrow accounts of $3.5 million, and accrued expenses and other liabilities of $4.6 million also contributed to the increase in liabilities.

Stockholders' equity decreased $12.6 million, or 10.0%, to $113.3 million at June 30, 2022, primarily due to a $16.5 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss on available for sale securities related to current market conditions, partially offset by net income of $4.1 million. The Company's ratio of average equity to average assets was 9.37% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 10.02% for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results include increased competitive pressures, inflation, changes in the interest rate environment, general economic conditions or conditions within the securities markets, changes in asset quality, loan sale volumes, charge-offs and loan loss provisions, changes in demand for our products and services, legislative, accounting, tax and regulatory changes or a failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, including cyberattacks that could adversely affect the Company's financial condition and results of operations and the business in which the Company and the Bank are engaged. 

Further, given its ongoing and dynamic nature, it is difficult to predict the continuing impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business.
