HarborOne Bancorp reports Q3 EPS 20c, consensus 16c

Reports Q3 book value per share $12.73. “As many of our competitors struggled with deposit contraction, we grew the average balance of customer deposits at a 14.7% annualized pace in Q3. This strong deposit growth allowed the pay-down of over $167 million in wholesale funds during the quarter,” said Joseph Casey, president and CEO. “Additionally, we expect to redeem $35 million in subordinated debt on December 1, 2023, which carries a current annualized expense rate of 8.45%. And we continue to return shareholder value, commencing a sixth stock buyback plan in Q3, purchasing $6.4 million of HarborOne shares at an average cost of $9.81 per share.”
