Источник: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 27 июл 2023 07:00:45 America/Chicago
Third Fiscal Quarter Performance Highlights
- Net Income: Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 totaled $3.1 million or $0.42 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares), inclusive of a $0.3 million tax related adjustment and temporary increase in the effective tax rate for the quarter, resulting from increased business in other states, coupled with lower projected pre-tax income. Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 totaled $3.2 million or $0.43 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares). Pre-tax income for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 totaled $4.4 million, an increase of $0.2 million or 6% versus net income of $4.1 million reported for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
- Strong Liquidity Position: At June 30, 2023, liquidity sources, which includes cash and unencumbered securities and secured and unsecured funding capacity, totaled $485.8 million or approximately 165% of uninsured deposit balances.
- Insured/Collateralized Deposits: Insured and collateralized deposits, which include municipal deposits, accounted for approximately 81% of total deposits at June 30, 2023.
- Lending Activity: Loans totaled $1.82 billion, a net increase of $36.1 million, or 8.1% annualized, from March 31, 2023, primarily driven by growth in niche-residential, conventional C&I and SBA loans.
- Hauppauge Banking Center: In May 2023, the Company opened the Bank’s Hauppauge Business Banking Center, the nexus of our expanded commercial lending and deposit activities, that are integral to the ongoing diversification of our balance sheet as we fill the void left by the diminishing number of commercial banks in the NYC Metro area. We are off to a robust start with deposits currently in excess of $17 million and C&I loans closed to date of approximately $34 million.
- Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, Net of Tax, was $1.4 million, reflecting the relatively small size of the Company’s investment portfolio and representing approximately 0.77% of total capital at June 30, 2023.
- Capital Strength: The Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.16% and its Total Risk-Based capital ratio was 14.24% at June 30, 2023, each significantly above the regulatory minimums for a well-capitalized institution. The Company’s Tangible Common Equity ratio was 7.77% at June 30, 2023, 7.84% at March 31, 2023, and 8.41% at September 30, 2022.
- Tangible Book Value Per Share: Tangible book value per share (including Series A preferred shares) increased to $22.26 at June 30, 2023 from $21.96 at March 31, 2023 and $21.00 at September 30, 2022.
- Quarterly Cash Dividend: The Company’s Board of Directors approved a $0.10 per share cash dividend on both common and Series A preferred shares payable on August 16, 2023 to stockholders of record on August 9, 2023.
- Net Interest Income: Net interest income was $13.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, a slight decrease of $0.4 million, or 3.0% from the prior linked quarter of 2023 as new loan growth begins to mitigate increased funding costs.
- Net Interest Margin: The Company’s net interest margin during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was 2.68% versus 3.04% in the quarter ended March 31, 2023, reflective of the continued rise in funding costs and to a lesser extent, the Company’s decision to increase liquidity as a result of recent industry events.
- Balance Sheet: Assets totaled $2.12 billion at June 30, 2023 versus $2.07 billion at March 31, 2023 and $1.84 billion at September 30, 2022.
MINEOLA, N.Y., July 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hanover Bancorp, Inc. (“Hanover” or “the Company” – NASDAQ: HNVR), the holding company for Hanover Community Bank (“the Bank”), today reported results for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and the payment of a $0.10 per share cash dividend on both common and Series A preferred shares payable on August 16, 2023 to stockholders of record on August 9, 2023.
Earnings Summary for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2023
The Company reported net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 of $3.1 million or $0.42 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares), versus $5.3 million or $0.80 per diluted share in the comparable period a year ago. In connection with the Company’s initial public offering in May 2022, average shares outstanding increased to 7,332,090 in the 2023 period from 6,596,505 in the comparable period of 2022. Returns on average assets and average stockholders’ equity were 0.60% and 6.82%, respectively, in the quarter ended June 30, 2023, versus 1.41% and 14.05%, respectively, in the comparable quarter of 2022, and 0.68% and 7.24% in the quarter ending March 31, 2023.
The decline in net income recorded in the third fiscal quarter of 2023 from the comparable 2022 quarter resulted from two primary factors. The first was a decrease in net interest income. The second was an increase in non-interest expense largely due to increases in compensation and benefits, professional fees and regulatory assessments (included in other operating expenses), which were partially offset by a decrease in the provision for loan losses and an increase in non-interest income. Included in compensation and benefits expense in the second quarter of 2023 was expense related to the staffing of the SBA and C&I Banking teams, and lower deferred loan origination costs that were offset by lower incentive compensation expense resulting from reduced lending activity. The increase in non-interest income is reflective of the strengthening of secondary market premiums in connection with sales of SBA loans. In addition, the Company’s effective tax rate increased to 29.9% in the second calendar quarter of 2023 from 22.9% in the comparable year ago period. This increase is primarily related to a $0.3 million tax related adjustment due to increased business in other states, coupled with lower projected pre-tax income. We anticipate the effective tax rate for the remainder of the year to range from 24.5% to 25.5%.
Net interest income was $13.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 8.9% versus the comparable 2022 period due to compression of the Company’s net interest margin to 2.68% in the 2023 quarter from 4.05% in the comparable 2022 quarter. The yield on interest earning assets increased to 5.65% in the 2023 quarter from 4.45% in the comparable 2022 quarter, an increase of 120 basis points, offset by a 302 basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 3.52% in 2023 from 0.50% in the third fiscal quarter of 2022. The rapid and significant rise in interest rates driven by the Federal Reserve and, to a lesser extent, the Company’s decision to increase liquidity as a result of recent industry events resulted in the higher cost of funds.
Earnings Summary for the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2023
For the nine months ended June 30, 2023, the Company reported net income of $11.6 million or $1.57 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares), versus $17.7 million or $2.92 per diluted share a year ago. The Company recorded adjusted (non-GAAP) net income (excluding merger-related expenses and severance and retirement expenses) of $12.0 million or $1.62 per diluted share for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, versus adjusted (non-GAAP) net income of $17.9 million or $2.95 per diluted share in the comparable 2022 nine-month period. Excluding the impact of net purchase accounting accretion, the Company’s net income was $10.8 million or $1.46 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares) for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 versus net income of $15.2 million or $2.50 per diluted share in the comparable 2022 period. In connection with the Company’s initial public offering in May 2022, average shares outstanding increased to 7,316,241 for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 from 5,970,288 in the comparable period of 2022.
The decline in net income recorded for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 from the comparable 2022 period resulted primarily from a decrease in net interest income, an increase in the provision for loan losses expense due to growth in the loan portfolio, a decrease in gain on sale of loans due to a lower volume of SBA loan sales and depressed secondary market premiums early in the year, a decrease in purchase accounting accretion and an increase in non-interest expense. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to increases in occupancy and equipment, data processing, professional fees and regulatory assessments (included in other operating expenses).
Net interest income was $42.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 4.8% from the comparable 2022 period due to compression of the Company’s net interest margin to 3.05% in the 2023 period from 4.23% in the comparable 2022 period. The year over year decrease in purchase accounting accretion accounted for 25 basis points of the decline in the net interest margin. The yield on interest earning assets increased to 5.44% in the 2023 period from 4.60% in the comparable 2022 period, an increase of 84 basis points that was offset by a 243 basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 2.90% in 2023 from 0.47% in the comparable 2022 period due to the rapid and significant rise in interest rates.
Michael P. Puorro, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the Company’s quarterly results: “We are pleased to show consistent results in the second quarter of 2023 as we navigate this unprecedented banking environment while investing in our continued diversification and growth. With sound earnings, liquidity and capital, we have a strong foundation on which to expand our existing verticals and develop new opportunities. Deposit and loan growth at our recently launched Hauppauge Business Banking Center, the nexus of our C&I banking strategy, are off to a strong start with core deposits currently in excess of $17 million. Supported by a dynamic team and robust products, services and technology, we look forward to expanding our customer base with these and new pending initiatives as we build for the future.”
Balance Sheet Highlights
Total assets at June 30, 2023 were $2.12 billion versus $1.84 billion at September 30, 2022. Total deposits at June 30, 2023 increased to $1.59 billion compared to $1.53 billion at September 30, 2022. During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, total deposits decreased $113.6 million from March 31, 2023 primarily due to the seasonality of municipal deposits.
The Company had $346.4 million in total municipal deposits at June 30, 2023, at a weighted average rate of 3.79% versus $416.9 million at a weighted average rate of 1.19% at September 30, 2022. The Company’s municipal deposit program is built on long-standing relationships developed in the local marketplace. This core deposit business will continue to provide a stable source of funding for the Company’s lending products at costs lower than those of both consumer deposits and market-based borrowings. The Company continues to broaden its municipal customer deposit base as evidenced by the increase in the number of relationships year over year.
Total borrowings at June 30, 2023 were $293.8 million, including $4.1 million in Federal Reserve Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility advances, with a weighted average rate and term of 4.47% and 16 months, respectively. At June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company had $129.7 million and $37.8 million, respectively, of term FHLB advances outstanding. The Company added $100.7 million of extended duration FHLB term advances in March 2023 to provide additional liquidity and enhance the interest rate sensitivity profile. The Company had $160.0 million and $55.0 million of FHLB overnight borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. The Company utilizes a number of strategies to manage interest rate risk including interest rate swap agreements. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company executed its first pay fixed, receive floating interest rate swap with a notional amount totaling $25.0 million for a four-year term at a fixed rate of 3.89%.
Stockholders’ equity increased to $182.8 million at June 30, 2023 from $172.6 million at September 30, 2022, resulting in an increase in tangible book value per share (including Series A preferred shares) to $22.26 at June 30, 2023 from $21.00 at September 30, 2022. This increase was primarily due to net income earned during the nine months ended June 30, 2023. The accumulated other comprehensive loss at June 30, 2023 was minimal at 0.77% of total equity and was comprised of $1.5 million after tax net unrealized loss on the investment portfolio that was partially offset by a $0.1 million after tax net unrealized gain on derivatives.
Loan Portfolio Growth and Allowance for Loan Losses
On a linked quarter basis, the Company exhibited net loan growth of $36.1 million, an 8.1% increase on an annualized basis. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2023, the Bank’s loan portfolio grew to $1.82 billion, for an increase of 30.3% excluding PPP loans. Year over year growth was concentrated primarily in multi-family, residential and commercial real estate loans. At June 30, 2023, the Company’s residential loan portfolio (including home equity) amounted to $625.3 million, with an average loan balance of $484 thousand and a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 57%. Commercial real estate and multifamily loans totaled $1.13 billion at June 30, 2023, with an average loan balance of $1.5 million and a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 60%. The Company’s commercial real estate concentration ratio was 457% of capital at June 30, 2023 versus 467% of capital at March 31, 2023, with loans secured by office space accounting for less than 3.0% of the total loan portfolio and totaling $50.8 million. The Company’s loan pipeline is approximately $157 million, with approximately 90% being niche-residential, conventional C&I and SBA and USDA lending opportunities.
Historically, the Bank has generated additional income by strategically originating and selling residential and government guaranteed loans to other financial institutions at premiums, while also retaining servicing rights in some sales. However, due to the pace of interest rate increases over the last year, the residential loan sale market remains inactive, and the Bank continues originating residential loans for its own portfolio. During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Company sold $12.6 million in SBA loans and recorded gains on the sale of loans held-for-sale of $1.1 million. The Company recorded gains of $0.8 million on the sale of SBA loans in the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
In the first half of 2023 we largely completed expansions of our SBA & USDA and C&I Banking Teams and anticipate the pace and volume of SBA and USDA guaranteed loan originations and C&I loan originations and deposit production will grow during the second half of 2023.
During the third fiscal quarter of 2023, the Bank recorded a provision for loan losses expense of $0.5 million. The June 30, 2023, allowance for loan losses balance was $15.4 million versus $12.8 million at September 30, 2022. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans was 0.84% at June 30, 2023 versus 0.79% at September 30, 2022. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans excluding acquired loans (“originated loans”) was 0.95% at June 30, 2023. At June 30, 2023, non-performing loans totaled $10.8 million of which $7.2 million represented legacy Savoy Bank originated loans that were either written down to fair value at the acquisition date or are 100% guaranteed by the SBA.
Net Interest Margin
The Bank’s net interest margin was 2.68% during the third fiscal quarter of 2023 versus 4.05% in the comparable 2022 quarter and 3.04% in the March 31, 2023 quarter. The decrease from the prior year quarter and linked quarter was primarily related to the increase in the total cost of funds, partially offset by the increase in the average yield on loans and to a lesser extent, the Company’s decision to increase liquidity as a result of the recent industry events. The margin compression reflects the effects of the rapid and significant rise in interest rates and the competitive deposit environment.

Non-GAAP Disclosure
This discussion includes non-GAAP financial measures, including the Company’s adjusted operating earnings, adjusted returns on average assets and shareholders’ equity, and adjusted operating efficiency ratio. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of historical or future performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are required to be disclosed in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company’s management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides both management and investors with a greater understanding of the Company’s operating results and trends in addition to the results measured in accordance with GAAP, and provides greater comparability across time periods. While management uses non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance, this information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the numbers prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP or considered to be more important than financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
