PORTLAND, Maine, Oct. 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northeast Bank (the “Bank”) (NASDAQ: NBN), a Maine-based full-service bank, today reported net income of $9.9 million, or $1.20 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to net income of $7.8 million, or $0.94 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.
The Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.01 per share, payable on November 23, 2021, to shareholders of record as of November 9, 2021.
Discussing results, Rick Wayne, Chief Executive Officer, said “We began the new fiscal year with a strong first quarter. Our National Lending Division generated $129.8 million in originations and purchases for the quarter, growing the National Lending portfolio by $38.6 million, or 4.0% over June 30, 2021. Year over year, we increased the National Lending Division average loan portfolio by $147.2 million, or 17.8%, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2020, while the yield remained strong at 7.65%. We continued to benefit from our correspondent arrangement with The Loan Source, Inc. and NEWITY (formerly ACAP SME, LLC), generating $7.8 million of correspondent fee income, attributable to the significant PPP loan purchases by Loan Source. We earned $1.20 per diluted common share, a return on average equity of 16.7%, a return on average assets of 2.4% and an efficiency ratio of 49.0%.”
As of September 30, 2021, total assets were $1.38 billion, a decrease of $791.9 million, or 36.4%, from total assets of $2.17 billion as of June 30, 2021, primarily due to the $818.0 million, or 81.0%, decrease in cash and short-term investments, as discussed below. The principal components of the changes in the balance sheet follow:

Additionally, the Bank originated $6.3 million of Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans in the quarter ended September 30, 2021, all of which were sold during the same quarter, recording a net gain of $86 thousand on the sales primarily resulting from the recognition of net deferred fees upon the sale of the loans.

The total return on purchased loans does not include the effect of purchased loan charge-offs or recoveries during the period. Total return on purchased loans is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. See reconciliation in below table entitled “Total Return on Purchased Loans.” | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2. | Cash and short-term investments decreased by $818.0 million, or 81.0%, from June 30, 2021, primarily due to the timing of a large deposit account related to PPP payoff collections and purchases that is subject to significant fluctuation and was elevated given the PPP activity at June 30, 2021. Cash and short-term investments may fluctuate significantly while PPP collections, including forgiveness amounts, continue, depending on the timing of receipts and remittances of cash amounts. |
| 3. | Deposits decreased by $776.1 million, or 41.7%, from June 30, 2021, attributable to decreases in demand deposits of $781.4 million, or 80.3%, time deposits of $36.5 million, or 13.1% and money market accounts of $16.2 million, or 5.7%, partially offset by an increase in savings and interest-bearing checking accounts of $58.0 million, or 17.8%. The primary reason for the net decrease in deposits was due to timing of receipt of short-term customer funds related to PPP payoff collections prior to June 30, 2021, which were subsequently used to pay down NEWITY’s PPP Liquidity Facility (“PPPLF”) balance during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, as noted above with respect to the change in cash and short-term investments. |
| 4. | Shareholders’ equity increased by $7.1 million, or 3.1%, from June 30, 2021, primarily due to net income of $9.9 million and stock-based compensation of $535 thousand, partially offset by the repurchase of 102 thousand shares of common stock at a weighted average price per share of $29.91, which resulted in a $3.1 million decrease in shareholders’ equity. |
Net income increased by $2.1 million to $9.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to net income of $7.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.
| 1. | Net interest and dividend income before provision for loan losses increased by $3.8 million to $18.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to $15.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the following: |
- An increase in interest income earned on loans of $1.9 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 purchased portfolio, partially offset by lower rates earned on the originated portfolio;
- A decrease in deposit interest expense of $1.7 million, due to lower interest rates and lower average balances in interest-bearing deposits; and
- A decrease in interest expense on subordinated debt of $281 thousand, as the Bank redeemed its $15.1 million subordinated debt in full at par plus accrued interest on July 1, 2021; partially offset by,
- A decrease of $196 thousand in interest income earned on securities, due to lower average balances and average rates earned.

(1) The total return on purchased loans represents scheduled accretion, accelerated accretion, gains on asset sales and gains on real estate owned recorded during the period divided by the average invested balance, which includes purchased loans held for sale, on an annualized basis. The total return does not include the effect of purchased loan charge-offs or recoveries in the periods shown. Total return is considered a non-GAAP financial measure.
| 2. | Provision (credit) for loan losses decreased by $603 thousand to a credit of $226 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, from a $377 thousand provision in the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in the provision (credit) for loan losses reflects decreases in certain qualitative factors during the current quarter as a result of continued improvements relative to the COVID-19 pandemic, as compared to increases in certain qualitative factors during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 as a result of impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease in the qualitative factors was partially offset by a $402 thousand increase in specific reserves on impaired loans, primarily related to two National Lending Division loans that are in the process of being modified. | |
| 3. | Noninterest income increased by $2.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to the following: | |
| • | An increase in correspondent fee income of $3.1 million from the recognition of correspondent fees and net servicing income as a result of the correspondent arrangement entered into with Loan Source during the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Under the correspondent arrangement, the Bank earns a correspondent fee when Loan Source purchases PPP loans and the Bank subsequently shares in net servicing income on such purchased PPP loans. Correspondent income for the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 is comprised of the following components: | |
| Three Months Ended September 30, | ||||||||

(1) - Northeast Bank's share
(2) - Expected to be recognized into income over life of loans
(3) - Loan Source’s ending PPP loan balance was $6.66 billion as of September 30, 2021
In addition to this increase:
- An $83 thousand decrease in losses on real estate owned (“REO”), due to a loss on sale of a REO property during the current quarter, as compared to a larger write-down on an existing REO property during the quarter ended September 30, 2020; partially offset by,
- A decrease in gain on sale of PPP loans of $1.0 million, due to a lower volume of PPP loans sold, whereby the Bank recognized a gain of $86 thousand from the sale of $6.3 million of PPP loans during the current quarter, as compared to a gain of $1.1 million from the sale of $53.7 million of PPP loans during the quarter ended September 30, 2020; and
- An $83 thousand decrease in gain on sale of residential loans held for sale due to no loans sold in the current quarter as the residential division was discontinued during fiscal 2021.
| 4. | Noninterest expense increased by $3.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to the following: | |
| • | An increase in loan expense of $1.6 million, due to a $1.6 million increase of one-time correspondent expenses associated with the wrap-up of PPP origination activity; | |
| • | An increase in salaries and employee benefits expense of $1.2 million, due to increases in bonus, regular employee compensation, stock compensation expense, and payroll tax expense, and a decrease in deferred salaries contra-expense; and | |
| • | An increase in other noninterest expense of $249 thousand, primarily due to a $16 thousand impairment charge on SBA servicing assets in the quarter ended September 30, 2021, as compared to a $128 thousand recovery in the quarter ended September 30, 2020, and a $67 thousand increase in travel and meals and entertainment expense during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 compared to September 30, 2020. | |
| 5. | Income tax expense increased by $904 thousand to $4.2 million, or an effective tax rate of 29.9%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to $3.3 million, or an effective tax rate of 29.8%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher pre-tax income, which increased by $3.0 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2020. | |
As of September 30, 2021, nonperforming assets totaled $22.2 million, or 1.60% of total assets, as compared to $20.4 million, or 0.94% of total assets, as of June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to three National Lending Division loans totaling $3.4 million that were placed on nonaccrual during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, partially offset by the sale of one REO property totaling $989 thousand, and paydowns on nonaccrual loans.
As of September 30, 2021, past due loans totaled $14.9 million, or 1.39% of total loans, as compared to past due loans totaling $11.3 million, or 1.08% of total loans as of June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to three National Lending Division loans totaling $4.6 million becoming past due during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, partially offset by three purchased loans totaling $891 thousand and one SBA loan totaling $317 thousand that became current or paid off.
As of September 30, 2021, the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 14.8%, compared to 13.6% at June 30, 2021, and the Total capital ratio was 22.7% at September 30, 2021, compared to 24.3% at June 30, 2021. Capital ratios were primarily affected by increased earnings and decreased assets.
