Balance Sheet Summary
Total assets increased by $77.8 million, or 5.5%, to $1.5 billion at March 31, 2023, from $1.4 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase in assets was primarily due to an increase in net loans of $98.6 million, partially offset by decreases in cash and cash equivalents of $18.3 million and other assets of $3.3 million.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $18.3 million, or 19.2%, to $77.0 million at March 31, 2023 from $95.3 million at December 31, 2022. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was a result of cash being deployed to fund an increase in gross loans of $97.2 million, a reduction in FHLB advances of $7.0 million, and stock repurchases of $10.5 million.
Equity securities increased by $225,000, or 1.2%, to $18.3 million at March 31, 2023 from $18.0 million at December 31, 2022. The increase in equity securities was attributable to market appreciation of $225,000 due to market interest rate volatility during the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
Securities held-to-maturity decreased by $287,000, or 1.1%, to $26.1 million at March 31, 2023 from $26.4 million at December 31, 2022 due partially to the establishment of $136,000 in an allowance for credit losses for held-to-maturity securities pursuant to the adoption of the current expected credit losses model (“CECL”) on held-to-maturity investment securities loss exposures and to maturities and pay-downs.
Loans, net of the allowance for credit losses, increased by $98.6 million, or 8.1%, to $1.3 billion at March 31, 2023 from $1.2 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase in loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, was primarily due to loan originations of $214.7 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, consisting primarily of $176.4 million in construction loans with respect to which approximately 31.5% of the funds were disbursed at loan closings, with the remaining funds to be disbursed over the terms of the construction loans. In addition, we originated $17.0 million in commercial and industrial loans, $13.1 million in multi-family loans, and $8.2 million in mixed-use loans.
Loan originations resulted in a net increase of $78.2 million in construction loans, $13.5 million in commercial and industrial loans, $7.2 million in mixed-use loans, $1.6 million in multi-family loans, and $490,000 in consumer loans. The increase in our loan portfolio was partially offset by decreases in non-residential loans of $3.7 million and residential loans of $66,000, coupled with normal pay-downs and principal reductions.
Upon adoption of CECL, the allowance for credit losses related to loans decreased to $4.1 million as of March 31, 2023 from $5.5 million as of December 31, 2022. In addition, the Company established an allowance for credit losses related to off-balance sheet commitments totaling $1.4 million and an allowance for credit losses related to held-to-maturity debt securities totaling $136,000 as of March 31, 2023.
Premises and equipment decreased by $220,000, or 0.8%, to $25.8 million at March 31, 2023 from $26.1 million at December 31, 2022 primarily due to depreciation of fixed assets.
Investments in Federal Home Loan Bank stock decreased by $315,000, or 25.4%, to $923,000 at March 31, 2023 from $1.2 million at December 31, 2022 due primarily to a reduction in mandatory Federal Home Loan Bank stock in connection with the maturity of $7.0 million in advances during the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
Accrued interest receivable increased by $1.3 million, or 15.4%, to $9.9 million at March 31, 2023 from $8.6 million at December 31, 2022 due to an increase in the loan portfolio and two interest rate increases in 2023 that resulted in an increase in the interest rates on loans in our construction loan portfolio.
Foreclosed real estate was $1.5 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Right of use assets — operating decreased by $130,000, or 5.6%, to $2.2 million at March 31, 2023 from $2.3 million at December 31, 2022, primarily due to amortization.
Other assets decreased by $3.3 million, or 61.5%, to $2.1 million at March 31, 2023 from $5.3 million at December 31, 2022 due to a decrease in tax assets of $4.1 million coupled with a reclassification of tax assets totaling $1.0 million from other assets to other liabilities and a decrease in suspense accounts of $268,000, partially offset by increases in prepaid expense of $47,000 and miscellaneous assets of $5,000.
Total deposits increased by $86.4 million, or 7.7%, to $1.2 billion at March 31, 2023 from $1.1 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to increases in certificates of deposit of $122.3 million, or 31.9%, savings account balances of $5.1 million, or 1.9%, and NOW/money market accounts of $4.7 million, or 5.3%. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in non-interest bearing demand deposits of $45.7 million, or 12.2%, from December 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023.
Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased by $7.0 million, or 33.3%, to $14.0 million at March 31, 2023 from $21.0 million at December 31, 2022 due to maturity of borrowings.
Advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance increased by $1.4 million, or 58.4%, to $3.8 million at March 31, 2023 from $2.4 million at December 31, 2022 due primarily to the accumulation of tax payments from borrowers.
Lease liability – operating decreased by $129,000, or 5.6%, to $2.2 million at March 31, 2023 from $2.4 million at December 31, 2022, primarily due to amortization.
Allowance for off-balance sheet commitments was $1.4 million at March 31, 2023 due to the adoption of CECL on off-balance sheet exposures.
Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased by $4.8 million, or 32.7%, to $9.9 million at March 31, 2023 from $14.8 million at December 31, 2022 due primarily to a decrease in accrued bonus expense of $3.2 million for employees and a decrease in suspense account for loan closings of $2.7 million, partially offset by a reclassification of tax assets totaling $1.0 million from other assets to other liabilities.
Stockholders’ equity increased by $514,000, or 0.2% to $262.5 million at March 31, 2023, from $262.0 million at December 31, 2022. The increase in stockholders’ equity was due to net income of $11.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, $432,000 in the amortization of restricted stocks and stock options granted in connection with the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, a reduction of $145,000 in unearned employee stock ownership plan shares coupled with an increase of $109,000 in earned employee stock ownership plan shares, and $7,000 in other comprehensive income, partially offset by stock repurchases totaling $10.5 million, dividends paid and declared of $879,000, and a one-time adjustment to retained earnings of $99,000 due to the adoption of CECL.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income totaled $22.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $11.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in net interest income of $10.9 million, or 91.5%, was primarily due to an increase in interest income offset by an increase in interest expense.
The increase in interest income is attributable to increases in loans and investment securities, offset by a decrease in interest-bearing deposits. The increase in interest income is also attributable to a rising interest rate environment as a result of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate increases in the past year.
The increase in market interest rates in the past year also caused an increase in our interest expense. As a result, the increase in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was due to an increase in the cost of funds on our deposits and borrowed money and an increase in the balances on our savings and club balances and our certificates of deposits, partially offset by a decrease in the balances on our interest-bearing demand deposits and a decrease in our borrowed money’s balances.
Total interest and dividend income increased by $15.2 million, or 114.8%, to $28.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $13.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in interest and dividend income was due to an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets of $207.0 million, or 17.7%, to $1.4 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $1.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and an increase in the yield on interest earning assets by 374 basis points from 4.54% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to 8.28% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Interest expense increased by $4.3 million, or 320.8%, to $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in interest expense was due to an increase in the cost of interest bearing liabilities by 189 basis points from 0.85% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to 2.74% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and an increase in average interest bearing liabilities of $189.7 million, or 29.8%, to $827.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $635.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Net interest margin increased by 255 basis points, or 62.5%, during the three months ended March 31, 2023 to 6.63% compared to 4.08% during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Credit Loss Expense
The Company recorded credit loss expense of $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to no credit loss expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The credit loss expense of $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was due to the implementation of CECL and was comprised of credit loss expense for loans of $197,000 and credit loss expense for held-to-maturity investment securities of $3,000, which expense were mostly offset by a credit loss expense reduction for off-balance sheet commitments of $199,000.
We charged-off $21,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to charge-offs of $10,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 against various unpaid overdrafts in our demand deposit accounts.
We recorded no recoveries from previously charged-off loans during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to recoveries of $96,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2022, which was comprised of $53,000 from a previously charged-off loan secured by a non-residential property and $43,000 regarding a previously charged-off loan secured by a mixed-use property.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $1.1 million compared to non-interest income of $58,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in total non-interest income was primarily due to an unrealized gain on equity securities of $225,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to an unrealized loss of $634,000 on equity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The unrealized gain of $225,000 on equity securities during the 2023 period was due to market interest rate volatility during the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
The increase in total non-interest income was also due to increases of $216,000 in other loan fees and service charges and $2,000 in bank-owned life insurance income, partially offset by a decrease of $20,000 in investment advisory fees.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense increased by $971,000, or 13.4%, to $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase resulted primarily from increases of $714,000 in salaries and employee benefits, $113,000 in other operating expense, $79,000 in outside data processing expense, $66,000 in occupancy expense, and $14,000 in equipment expense, partially offset by decreases of $10,000 in real estate owned expense and $5,000 in advertising expense.
Income Taxes
We recorded income tax expense of $4.5 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we had approximately $182,000 and $184,000, respectively, in tax exempt income. Our effective income tax rates were 28.7% and 23.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Asset Quality
Non-performing assets totaled $1.5 million at March 31, 2023 compared to $1.5 million at December 31, 2022. We had no non-performing loans at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Our non-performing assets consisted of one foreclosed property at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Our ratio of non-performing assets to total assets remained low at 0.10% at March 31, 2023 and at December 31, 2022.
The Company’s allowance for credit losses related to loans totaled $4.1 million, or 0.31% of total loans as of March 31, 2023, compared to $5.5 million, or 0.45% of total loans as of December 31, 2022. Based on a review of the loans that were in the loan portfolio at March 31, 2023, management believes that the allowance for credit losses related to loans is maintained at a level that represents its best estimate of inherent losses in the loan portfolio that were both probable and reasonably estimable.
In addition, the Company established an allowance for credit losses related to off-balance sheet commitments totaling $1.4 million and an allowance for credit losses related to held-to-maturity debt securities totaling $136,000 in connection with the implementation of CECL as of March 31, 2023.
