President and Chief Executive Officer’s Comments

Carlos P. Naudon, the Company’s President and CEO, noted, “The numbers are substantiating the success of our strategy. We continue increasing customer relationships, growing both our deposits and loans while continuing to increase our net interest margin and building our demand deposit base. We focus on net operating expenses, maintaining net operating expenses stable as we add resources that deliver revenue producing services to customers, allowing us to further grow into our overhead while increasing profitability. As our PPP loans are being forgiven by the SBA, we are heartened in the retention of large segments of these borrowers and in the continued acknowledgement of the positive impact we are having on our communities. Our demonstrated success as an MDI and CDFI has positioned us well to lead in remediating the disparate effects of the pandemic, and the wealth and financial gaps present in our communities.”

Executive Chairman’s Comments

Steven A. Tsavaris, the Company’s Executive Chairman, added, “Strengthening our capital position is a cornerstone of our strategy of being impactful to both our communities and our other stakeholders. As we move forward to seek approval of our mutual-to-stock conversion and await a favorable outcome of the recently applied for $225 million in capital from the U.S. Department of the Treasury under the Emergency Capital Investment Program, we are humbled and inspired by the trust and hopes being placed in our Company.”

Loan Payment Deferrals

As of September 30, 2021, five loans in the amount of $9.9 million remained in forbearance as a result of renewed forbearance for a period of three months. Of the five loans receiving renewed forbearance, one loan in the amount of $6.6 million is related to construction real estate, three loans, totaling $2.9 million are related to one-to-four family residential real estate and one loan in the amount of $388,000 is related to non-residential properties. All of these loans had been performing in accordance with their contractual obligations prior to the granting of the initial forbearance. The Company actively monitors the business activities of borrowers in forbearance and seeks to determine their capacity to resume payments as contractually obligated upon the termination of the forbearance period. The extended forbearances are short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and in furtherance of governmental policies.

Results of Operations Summary

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $2.1 million, compared to $5.9 million of net income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $4.0 million of net income for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

The $3.9 million decrease in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 was due substantially to a decrease of $5.1 million in non-interest income primarily resulting from a decrease of $4.2 million in gain, net of expenses, on sale of real property. The decrease in net income was also attributable to an increase of $1.1 million in non-interest expense, offset by an increase of $1.7 million in net interest income and a decrease of $596,000 in provision for income taxes.

The $2.0 million decrease in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020 was due substantially to a decrease of $4.0 million in non-interest income primarily resulting from a decrease of $4.4 million in gain, net of expenses, on sale of real property. The decrease in net income was also attributable to an increase of $2.4 million in non-interest expense and an increase of $171,000 in provision for income taxes, offset by an increase of $4.6 million in net interest income.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $10.4 million, compared to $2.2 million of net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The change from the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is primarily due to a $7.0 million increase in non-interest income primarily due to increases of $2.6 million in sale of mortgage loans, $1.9 million in loan originations attributable to Mortgage World and $2.5 million in the aggregate related to service charges and fees, brokerage commissions, late and prepayment charges, gain, net of expenses, on sale of real property and other non-interest income. The increase in net income was also attributable to an $11.8 million increase in net interest income and a $193,000 decrease in provision for loan losses, partially offset by increases of $7.7 million in non-interest expense and $3.1 million in provision for income taxes.

Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $15.4 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or 12.4%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 and an increase of $4.6 million, or 42.3%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase of $1.7 million in net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 was attributable to an increase of $1.6 million in interest and dividend income and a decrease of $127,000 in interest expense. The increase of $4.6 million in net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020 was attributable to an increase of $3.8 million in interest and dividend income and a decrease of $767,000 in interest expense.

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $42.1 million, an increase of $11.8 million, or 38.8%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in net interest income was attributable to an increase of $9.4 million in interest and dividend income and a decrease of $2.3 million in interest expense.

Net interest margin was 4.13% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of 29 basis points from 3.84% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and an increase of 48 basis points from 3.65% for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

The increase in the net interest rate spread for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to an increase in the average yields on interest-earning assets of 23 basis points to 4.66% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from 4.43% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and by a decrease on the average rates on interest-bearing liabilities of 9 basis points to 0.74% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from 0.83% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in the net interest rate spread for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to a decrease on the average rates on interest-bearing liabilities of 50 basis points to 0.74% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from 1.24% for the three months ended September 30, 2020, and by a slight increase in the average yields on interest-earning assets of 9 basis points to 4.66% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from 4.57% for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

The decrease in non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to decreases of $4.2 million in gain, net of expenses, from the sale of real property recognized in the second quarter of 2021, $471,000 in other non-interest income, $346,000 in loan origination fees, $160,000 in brokerage commissions and $113,000 in income on sale of mortgage loans attributable to Mortgage World, offset by increases of $128,000 in service charges and fees and $31,000 in late and prepayment charges.

The decrease in non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to decreases of $4.4 million in gain, net of expenses, from the sale of real property recognized in the third quarter of 2020, $197,000 in income on sale of mortgage loans attributable to Mortgage World, $177,000 in brokerage commissions and $30,000 in other non-interest income, offset by increases of $356,000 in loan origination fees attributable to Mortgage World, $258,000 service charges and fees and $184,000 in late and prepayment charges.

Non-interest income increased $7.0 million to $15.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $8.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to increases of $2.6 million in sale of mortgage loans and $1.9 million in loan originations attributable to Mortgage World. Other increases include $597,000 in other non-interest income, $594,000 in late and prepayment charges, $560,000 in service charges and fees, $404,000 in brokerage commissions and $400,000 in gain, net of expenses, from the sale of real property.

Non-interest expense increased $1.1 million, or 8.0%, to $14.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, from $13.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and increased $2.4 million from $12.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

The increase in non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to an increase of $2.2 million in compensation and benefits, which was specifically related to the allocable portion of employee expenses related to the origination of Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans, netted against PPP loan origination fees received from the SBA in the second quarter of 2021. Other increases in non-interest expense were $184,000 in data processing expenses, $159,000 in office supplies, telephone and postage and $155,000 in other operating expenses, offset by decreases of $1.1 million in professional fees as a result of $1.2 million of additional consultant fees recognized in the second quarter of 2021 and $455,000 in direct loan expenses.

The increase in non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020 primarily reflects increases of $873,000 in compensation and benefits, which was specifically related to the allocable portion of employee expenses related to the origination of PPP loans, netted against PPP loan origination fees received from the SBA recognized in the third quarter of 2020.
