Insights
Waterstone Financial, Inc.'s report showing an increase in net income from $2.2 million to $3.0 million represents an improvement in profitability. A key driver seems to be the Mortgage Banking segment's performance, which could reflect a strategic response to current market headwinds. Despite higher mortgage rates and affordability challenges, the ability to increase net income in such an environment speaks to strong operational control. Share repurchases at a cost lower than the book value per share are generally a positive signal, indicating management's belief in the undervaluation of the company's stock. However, the report's mention of margin compression within the Community Banking segment is noteworthy. It suggests that the cost of funds is rising faster than the yields on assets, a concern given the current interest rate climate. Investors should monitor future quarters to see if this trend continues and potentially impacts profitability.
The details regarding the company's performance, specifically the segment on Mortgage Banking, highlights a resilient housing demand, at least in the communities served by Waterstone. The reported increase in loan origination, with a significant portion attributed to purchase activity, may suggest underlying market strength despite broader economic concerns about interest rates. Furthermore, the Community Banking segment’s increased average loans held for investment indicates that the bank is successfully expanding its lending operations. This could be viewed as a sign of confidence in the economic fundamentals of its market area. For potential investors, these figures may underscore a localized but robust demand for Waterstone's services.
The impact of the Wisconsin state tax law change presents both opportunities and challenges for Waterstone. The law's retroactive nature and the subsequent one-time charge, albeit partially offset by a reduction in the current state income tax provision, will likely be a focus for investors seeking clarity on the company's future tax obligations. The anticipated elimination of Wisconsin state income taxes moving forward could improve net income, but it’s important to consider the broader implications. For instance, how will the change affect the bank's competitive position within Wisconsin and what does it mean for future investment into the state? This tax change could potentially shift the landscape for financial institutions in the region.
WAUWATOSA, Wis., April 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Waterstone Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: WSBF), holding company for WaterStone Bank, reported net income of
“We are pleased that the Mortgage Banking segment demonstrated improved performance, as volumes and margin have bounced off of the lows from the past two years,” said William Bruss, Chief Executive Officer of Waterstone Financial, Inc. "While our results of operations have improved form the prior year, the Mortgage Banking segment continues to face industry-wide headwinds in the form of low levels of housing inventory and affordability constraints driven by elevated mortgage rates. The Community Banking segment continues to contend with margin compression, driven by higher funding costs, as interest rates remain at recent high levels. In spite of the challenging environment, we continue to maintain strong asset quality and remained focused on returning capital to our shareholders through our dividend and share repurchases."
Highlights of the Quarter Ended March 31, 2024
Waterstone Financial, Inc. (Consolidated)

$0.15 per common share. - During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, we repurchased approximately 417,000 shares at a cost (including the federal excise tax) of
$5.3 million , or$12.65 per share. This share repurchase activity was accretive to book value per share in the amount of$0.09 during the quarter ended March 31, 2024. - Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets was
0.23% at March 31, 2024,0.23% at December 31, 2023, and0.22% at March 31, 2023. - Past due loans as a percentage of total loans was
0.64% at March 31, 2024,0.68% at December 31, 2023, and0.64% at March 31, 2023. - Book value per share was
$16.98 at March 31, 2024 and$16.94 at December 31, 2023. - In July 2023, Wisconsin’s Governor signed the Wisconsin state budget, retroactive to January 1, 2023, which included legislation that provides financial institutions with an exemption from state taxable income for interest, fees, and penalties earned on loans to existing Wisconsin-based business or agriculture purpose loans that are
$5.0 million or less in balance on January 1, 2023, and to new loans that meet the criteria. On March 18, 2024, the State of Wisconsin Department of Revenue issued an emergency ruling with additional details of the law. This publication enabled us to estimate the impact on our Wisconsin state income tax expense. The impact moving forward should result in no Wisconsin state income taxes being expensed, resulting in a lower estimated effective tax rate. The elimination of Wisconsin state income tax expense resulted in the establishment of a valuation allowance for Wisconsin state income deferred tax assets, resulting in a one-time$1.1 million charge to state income tax expense in the first quarter. Partially offsetting the impact of the charge related to the valuation allowance the Company realized a one-time benefit of approximately$368,000 during the quarter to recognize a reduction in current state income tax provision. The net amount of these two items resulted in a a$0.04 reduction of earnings per share during the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
