Northeast Bank Reports Fourth Quarter Results and Declares Dividend


PORTLAND, Maine, July 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northeast Bank (the “Bank”) (NASDAQ: NBN), a Maine-based full-service bank, today reported net income of $10.3 million, or $1.35 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to net income of $21.4 million, or $2.54 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Net income for the year ended June 30, 2022 was $42.2 million, or $5.34 per diluted common share, compared to $71.5 million, or $8.55 per diluted common share, for the year ended June 30, 2021. Net income for the quarter and year ended June 30, 2021 included $12.6 million and $46.7 million ($8.9 million and $33.0 million, net of tax), respectively, of net gains on the sale of U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans sold during the quarter and year ended June 30, 2021, which had an after-tax earnings per diluted common share impact of $1.06 and $3.95, respectively.

The Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.01 per share, payable on August 23, 2022, to shareholders of record as of August 9, 2022.

Discussing results, Rick Wayne, Chief Executive Officer, said, “We closed our fiscal year with yet another impressive quarter. Our National Lending Division had a record quarter of originations, with $172.9 million for the quarter, and $587.8 million for the fiscal year. This resulted in net growth in our originated portfolio of $235.7 million, or 45.0%, compared with June 30, 2021. In addition to the growth in loan balances, our National Lending Division’s combined yield increased to 7.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, as compared to 7.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Asset quality remains strong, with past due loans of $7.0 million, or 0.53% of total loans, compared to $11.3 million, or 1.08% of total loans at June 30, 2021. This represents the lowest level of delinquencies since July 31, 2016, at which time the Bank’s loan book totaled just $688.7 million.” Mr. Wayne continued, “As a result of the increase in the average balances of our loan portfolio, we are reporting earnings of $1.35 per diluted common share, a return on average equity of 16.6%, and a return on average assets of 2.7% for the quarter.”

As of June 30, 2022, total assets were $1.58 billion, a decrease of $591.6 million, or 27.2%, from total assets of $2.17 billion as of June 30, 2021.

  1. Cash and short-term investments decreased by $838.4 million, or 83.0%, primarily due to the timing of a large deposit account related to PPP loan payoff collections at June 30, 2021, which has decreased throughout the fiscal year. 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.

(1) The total return on purchased loans represents scheduled accretion, accelerated accretion, gains on real estate owned and other noninterest income recorded during the period divided by the average invested balance, which includes purchased loans held for sale, on an annualized basis. 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.”

  1. Deposits decreased by $574.7 million, or 30.9%, from June 30, 2021. The decrease was attributable to decreases in demand deposits of $643.5 million, or 66.2% and time deposits of $150.5 million, or 54.2%, partially offset by an increase in savings and interest checking deposits of $260.2 million, or 80.1%. The primary reason for the net decrease in deposits was due to timing of the 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 year ended June 30, 2022.
     
  2. Shareholders’ equity increased by $15.9 million, or 6.9%, from June 30, 2021, primarily due to net income of $42.2 million, partially offset by the repurchase of 821 thousand shares of common stock at a weighted average price per share of $34.09, which resulted in a $28.0 million decrease to shareholders’ equity. Shareholders’ equity also increased by $1.9 million as a result of stock compensation expense recognized.

Net income decreased by $11.1 million to $10.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to net income of $21.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

1. Net interest and dividend income before provision for loan losses increased by $5.5 million to $23.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to $18.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to the following:

  • An increase in interest income earned on the National Lending Division’s purchased and originated portfolios of $5.8 million, due to higher average balances and rates earned in both portfolios;
  • A decrease in deposit interest expense of $356 thousand, due to lower interest rates and a shift in portfolio composition;
  • A decrease of $282 thousand in interest expense due to the payoff of the subordinated debt; and
  • A decrease of $98 thousand in interest expense due to advances taken from the PPPLF to fund PPP originations during the quarter ended June 30, 2021; partially offset by,
  • A decrease in PPP loan interest income of $884 thousand, due to the significant decrease in PPP loans during the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

2. Noninterest income decreased by $15.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2021, principally due to the following:

  • A decrease in gain on sale of PPP loans of $12.6 million, due to the sale of PPP loans with a total principal balance of $671.4 million, which resulted in a net gain based on the recognition of net deferred fees in the quarter ended June 30, 2021 as compared to no sales in the quarter ended June 30, 2022; and
  • A decrease in correspondent fee income of $3.0 million from the recognition of correspondent fees and related net servicing income. Correspondent income for the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 is comprised of the following components:

(1) - The Bank's share
(2) - Expected to be recognized into income over life of loans
(3) - Loan Source’s ending PPP loan balance was $1.44 billion as of June 30, 2022

3. Noninterest expense increased by $3.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to the following:

  • An increase in salaries and employee benefits expense of $3.9 million, primarily due to a $2.0 million increase in incentive compensation, which, in the prior year was adjusted during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 due to the high level of PPP-related income generated in that quarter, and also a $1.5 million decrease in deferred salaries contra-expense related to PPP originations in the quarter ended June 30, 2021; and
  • An increase in other noninterest expense of $142 thousand, primarily due to a $340 thousand increase in impairment on the SBA servicing asset and a $134 thousand increase in travel and meals and entertainment expense, partially offset by a one-time $338 thousand decrease in non-income tax expense that was reclassified out of other noninterest expense and into income tax expense; partially offset by,
  • A decrease in loan expense of $608 thousand, due to a $267 thousand decrease in collection legal expense due to reimbursements, and a $269 thousand decrease in correspondent expense.

4. Income tax expense decreased by $3.4 million to $5.5 million, or an effective tax rate of 34.8%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to $8.9 million, or an effective tax rate of 29.4%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in income tax expense is due to the decrease in pre-tax income. The increase in the effective tax rate from June 30, 2021 is primarily due to changes in state tax apportionment, as well as a one-time income tax accrual adjustment of $290 thousand during the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

As of June 30, 2022, nonperforming assets totaled $12.9 million, or 0.82% of total assets, compared to $20.4 million, or 0.94% of total assets, as of June 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of three other real estate owned properties totaling $1.7 million and the payoff of two nonperforming National Lending Division originated loans totaling $2.4 million and two nonperforming purchased loans totaling $3.3 million during the year ended June 30, 2022.

As of June 30, 2022, past due loans totaled $7.0 million, or 0.53% of total loans, compared to past due loans totaling $11.3 million, or 1.08% of total loans, as of June 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to fourteen purchased loans totaling $5.3 million that became current or paid off, partially offset by one purchased loan totaling $1.0 million that became past due during the year ended June 30, 2022.

As of June 30, 2022, the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 16.1%, compared to 13.6% at June 30, 2021, and the Total capital ratio was 19.5% at June 30, 2022, compared to 24.3% at June 30, 2021. Capital ratios were primarily affected by increased earnings and decreased assets, while the Total capital ratio was negatively impacted by the redemption of the subordinated debt on July 1, 2021.

(1) The net interest rate spread represents the difference between the weighted-average yield on interest-earning assets and the weighted-average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the period.
(2) The net interest margin represents net interest income as a percent of average interest-earning assets for the period.
(3) Net interest margin excluding PPP removes the effects of the following: PPP loan interest income of $3 thousand, $2 thousand, $11 thousand, and $884 thousand, PPPLF interest expense of $0, $0, $0, and $98 thousand, as well as PPP loan average balances of $462 thousand, $628 thousand, $1.4 million, and $172.8 million, for the quarters ended March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, September 30, 2021, and June 30, 2021, respectively.
(4) Net interest margin excluding PPP and collection account removes the PPP impact above and removes the effects of the cash held by the Bank from the correspondent’s collection account in short-term investments, which had an average balance of $175.2 million, $244.0 million, $287.7 million, $334.3 million, and $405.9 million, and earned $362 thousand, $60 thousand, $73 thousand, $84 thousand, and $100 thousand, in interest income for the quarters ended June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, September 30, 2021, and June 30, 2021, respectively.
(5) The efficiency ratio represents noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income (before the loan loss provision) plus noninterest income.
(6) For purposes of calculating this ratio, commercial real estate includes all non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans defined as such by regulatory guidance, including all land development and construction loans.
(7) Core deposits include all non-maturity deposits and maturity deposits less than $250 thousand. During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Bank changed its internal policy limit to calculate based on deposits, not core deposits. Ratio as of June 30, 2022 reflects loans to deposits. Loans include loans held for sale.
(8) Includes the loan servicing rights asset.
(9) Tangible book value per share represents total shareholders’ equity less the sum of preferred stock and intangible assets divided by common shares outstanding.
(10) Net loans and total loans exclude PPP loans held for sale.
