    Источник: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 24 июл 2024 16:00:33   America/New_York

    Second Quarter Performance Highlights

    • Net Income: Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 totaled $0.8 million (after giving effect to an allowance for credit loss (“ACL”) on an individually evaluated loan of $2.5 million and a $1.1 million provision resulting from ongoing enhancements to the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model) or $0.11 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares), versus $4.1 million or $0.55 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares) in the prior linked quarter and $3.1 million or $0.42 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares) in the comparable 2023 quarter.
    • Net Interest Income: Net interest income was $13.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $0.3 million, or 2.4% from the prior linked quarter and a decrease of $0.3 million, or 1.9% from the June 30, 2023 quarter.
    • Net Interest Margin: The Company’s net interest margin during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 increased to 2.46% from 2.41% in the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
    • Strong Non-interest Income: The Company’s non-interest income increased $0.1 million or 1.3% from the quarter ended March 31, 2024 and $1.6 million or 83.5% from the quarter ended June 30, 2023. This quarter’s non-interest income was a record for the Company when considering continuing revenues. Although non-interest income was higher for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, those results included income from a litigation settlement.
    • Strong Liquidity Position: At June 30, 2024, undrawn liquidity sources, which include cash and unencumbered securities and secured and unsecured funding capacity, totaled $648.2 million or approximately 254% of uninsured deposit balances.
    • Deposit Activity: Core deposits, consisting of Demand, NOW, Savings and Money Market, increased $95.4 million or 6.9% from December 31, 2023 and $24.8 million or 1.7% from March 31, 2024. Total deposits increased $37.3 million or 2.0% from December 31, 2023 and $24.7 million or 1.3% from March 31, 2024. Insured and collateralized deposits, which include municipal deposits, accounted for approximately 87% of total deposits at June 30, 2024.
    • Loan Growth: Loans totaled $2.01 billion, a net increase of $7.4 million, or 1.5% annualized, from March 31, 2024, and $55.8 million or 5.7%, annualized from December 31, 2023. The Company’s commercial real estate concentration ratio continued to improve, decreasing to 403% of capital at June 30, 2024 from 432% of capital at December 31, 2023. Current and future loan growth will primarily be in residential loan products originated for sale to specific buyers in the secondary market, C&I and SBA loans, which strategically enhances our management of liquidity and capital while producing additional non-interest income.
    • Asset Quality: At June 30, 2024, the Bank’s asset quality remained solid with non-performing loans totaling $15.8 million, representing 0.79% of the total loan portfolio, and the allowance for credit losses equaling 1.17% of total loans. Loans secured by office space accounted for approximately 2.3% of the total loan portfolio with a total balance of $46.2 million, of which less than 1% is located in Manhattan. During July, non-performing loans decreased $1.2 million to $14.6 million as a result of the full payoff of a residential investor loan.
    • Banking Initiatives: At June 30, 2024, the Company’s banking initiatives reflected continuing momentum:
      • SBA & USDA Banking: Gains on sale of SBA loans totaled $2.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, representing a 139% increase over the comparable 2023 quarter. Total SBA loans sold were $28.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, representing a 122% increase over the comparable 2023 quarter. Premiums earned on the sale of SBA loans continued to increase during the current quarter to 9.80% from 9.56% in the linked quarter and 8.72% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.
      • C&I Banking/Hauppauge Business Banking Center: Having recently marked its one-year anniversary, the Hauppauge Business Banking Center hit $73 million in deposits in the first year of operations. Loan originations tied to this office were $30 million during the quarter. Momentum continues to build with deposit and C&I loan pipelines related to this office of $59 million and $106 million, respectively.
      • Residential Lending: The Bank continues to originate loans for its portfolio while developing the flow origination program launched in late 2023. Of the $24.2 million in closed loans originated in the quarter ended June 30, 2024, $21.2 million were originated for its portfolio and reflected a weighted average yield of 7.62% before origination and other fees, which average 50-100 bps per loan, and a weighted average LTV of 60%.
    • Tangible Book Value Per Share: Tangible book value per share (including Series A preferred shares) was $23.05 at June 30, 2024 compared to $22.51 at December 31, 2023 (inclusive of a one-time CECL implementation adjustment of $3.2 million, net of tax, or $0.43 per share, recorded on October 1, 2023) and $22.26 at June 30, 2023.
    • 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 14, 2024 to stockholders of record on August 7, 2024.
    • Further Expansion into Long Island Markets: The Company will once again be expanding its geographic footprint with the opening of a full-service branch in Port Jefferson, New York. Business development staff have already joined the Company in anticipation of the opening of this location. Subject to regulatory approvals, the Bank expects this site to be fully operational in the fourth quarter of 2024.

    MINEOLA, N.Y., July 24, 2024 (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, 2024 and the declaration of a $0.10 per share cash dividend on both common and Series A preferred shares payable on August 14, 2024 to stockholders of record on August 7, 2024.

    Earnings Summary for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2024

    The Company reported net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 of $0.8 million (after giving effect to an ACL on an individually evaluated loan of $2.5 million and a $1.1 million provision resulting from ongoing enhancements to the CECL model) or $0.11 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares), versus $3.1 million or $0.42 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares) in the comparable 2023 quarter and $4.1 million or $0.55 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares) for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Returns on average assets and average stockholders’ equity were 0.15% and 1.77%, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, versus 0.60% and 6.82%, respectively, for the comparable quarter of 2023, and 0.74% and 8.70%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Return on average tangible equity (“ROTCE”) was 1.97% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 compared to 7.64% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and 9.71% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

    The decrease in net income recorded in the second quarter of 2024 from the comparable 2023 quarter resulted from an increase in the provision for credit losses, an increase in non-interest expense and a decrease in net interest income, which were partially offset by an increase in non-interest income, consisting primarily of gain on sale of loans held-for-sale. The Company recorded a $4.0 million provision for credit losses primarily attributable to an ACL on an individually evaluated loan of $2.5 million and $1.1 million related to ongoing enhancements to the CECL model during the June 2024 quarter. This $1.1 million provision was related to ongoing enhancements in our model not related to any deterioration in our portfolio. The increase in non-interest expense was attributed to a strategically planned reduction in certain lending activity resulting in lower deferred origination costs. Additionally, net interest income decreased due to the continued impact of higher funding costs resulting from the higher interest rates driven by the Federal Reserve. The Company’s effective tax rate decreased to 27.2% in the second quarter of 2024 from 29.9% in the comparable 2023 period.

    Net interest income was $13.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 1.9%, versus the comparable 2023 quarter due to compression of the Company’s net interest margin to 2.46% in the 2024 quarter from 2.68% in the comparable 2023 quarter. The yield on interest earning assets increased to 6.22% in the 2024 quarter from 5.65% in the comparable 2023 quarter, an increase of 57 basis points that was offset by a 96 basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 4.48% in 2024 from 3.52% in the second quarter of 2023. Net interest income on a linked quarter basis increased $0.3 million or 2.41%, due to a 5 basis point increase in net interest margin resulting from a 19 basis point increase on yield on interest earning assets, partially offset by a 15 basis point increase in cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

    Earnings Summary for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024

    For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company reported net income of $4.9 million or $0.66 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares), versus $6.3 million or $0.85 per diluted (including Series A preferred shares) in the comparable 2023 six-month period.

    The decrease in net income recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from the comparable 2023 is due to similar factors discussed above. The Company’s effective tax rate decreased to 25.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from 26.7% in the comparable 2023 period.

    Net interest income was $26.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 4.5% from the comparable 2023 period due to compression of the Company’s net interest margin to 2.43% in the 2024 period from 2.85% in the comparable 2023 period. The yield on interest earning assets increased to 6.12% in the 2024 period from 5.56% in the comparable 2023 period, an increase of 56 basis points that was offset by a 116-basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 4.41% in 2024 from 3.25% in the comparable 2023 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: “Second quarter results were impacted by credit-related matters that we believe are isolated in nature and not reflective of the quality of our portfolio. Independent of these impacts, our underlying performance continues to be strong, evidenced by increasing non- interest income, a recovering net interest margin and loan yields outpacing deposit costs. To ensure our sustained success, we have proactively adopted cost cutting measures intended to maximize efficiency and to support our continued strategic growth and onboarding of top tier professionals. Armed with a dedicated team and our diversified business verticals, we are well positioned for the future. The reduction in interest rates forecast by economists will create even greater opportunities due to the composition of our balance sheet and our ability to expand our core revenue drivers into new markets.”

    Balance Sheet Highlights

    Total assets at June 30, 2024 were $2.33 billion versus $2.27 billion at December 31, 2023. Total securities available for sale at June 30, 2024 were $98.8 million, an increase of $37.4 million from December 31, 2023, primarily driven by growth in U.S. Treasury securities, corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities.

    Total deposits at June 30, 2024 increased to $1.94 billion compared to $1.90 billion at December 31, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, total deposits increased $37.3 million or 2.0% from December 31, 2023. Our loan to deposit ratio was 104% at June 30, 2024 and 103% at December 31, 2023.

    Although core deposits, comprised of Demand, NOW, Savings and Money Market, grew to $1.48 billion as of June 30, 2024 from $1.38 billion as of December 31, 2023, Demand deposit balances decreased from $207.8 million to $199.9 million during the same period. This decrease was confined to deposits made by residential loan borrowers in anticipation of residential loan closings. These funds comprise the equity residential borrowers are required to contribute to residential loan closings and the volume of these deposits rise and fall in proportion to the volume of anticipated residential loan closings. As the pace of residential lending increases, the volume of Demand deposits will increase accordingly. Demand deposits, net of balances related to residential loan closings, grew to $177.8 million as of June 30, 2024 from $166.4 million as of December 31, 2023, an increase of 6.8%, underscoring the continued success of our C&I Banking vertical.

    The Company had $452.6 million in total municipal deposits at June 30, 2024, at a weighted average rate of 4.61% versus $528.1 million at a weighted average rate of 4.62% at December 31, 2023. 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 consumer deposits and market-based borrowings. The Company continues to broaden its municipal deposit base and currently services 39 customer relationships.

    Total borrowings at June 30, 2024 were $149.0 million, with a weighted average rate and term of 3.96% and 21 months, respectively. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $121.7 million and $126.7 million, respectively, of term FHLB advances outstanding. The Company had $25.0 million of FHLB overnight borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2024 and none at December 31, 2023. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under lines of credit with correspondent banks at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company utilizes a number of strategies to manage interest rate risk, including interest rate swap agreements which currently provide a benefit to net interest income.

    Stockholders’ equity was $190.1 million at June 30, 2024 compared to $184.8 million at December 31, 2023. The $5.2 million increase was primarily due to an increase of $3.4 million in retained earnings and a decrease of $1.1 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The increase in retained earnings was due primarily to net income of $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which was offset by $1.5 million of dividends declared. The accumulated other comprehensive loss at June 30, 2024 was 0.70% of total equity and was comprised of a $1.4 million after tax net unrealized loss on the investment portfolio, partially offset by a $0.1 million after tax net unrealized gain on derivatives.

    Loan Portfolio

    On a linked quarter basis, the Company experienced net loan growth of $7.4 million, a 1.5% increase on an annualized basis. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Bank’s loan portfolio grew to $2.01 billion, for an increase of $55.8 million or 5.7% annualized. Growth was concentrated primarily in residential, SBA and C&I loans. At June 30, 2024, the Company’s residential loan portfolio (including home equity) amounted to $761.0 million, with an average loan balance of $493 thousand and a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 57%. Commercial real estate and multifamily loans totaled $1.11 billion at June 30, 2024, with an average loan balance of $1.5 million and a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 59%. As will be discussed below, only approximately 37% of our multifamily portfolio is subject to rent regulation. The Company’s commercial real estate concentration ratio continued to improve, decreasing to 403% of capital at June 30, 2024 from 432% of capital at December 31, 2023, with loans secured by office space accounting for 2.3% of the total loan portfolio and totaling $46.2 million. The Company’s loan pipeline at June 30, 2024 is approximately $164 million, with approximately 97% being niche-residential, conventional C&I and SBA and USDA lending opportunities.

    Historically, the Bank 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, with the rapid increases in interest rates in recent years, the appetite among the Bank’s purchasers of residential loans for acquiring pools of loans declined, eliminating the Bank’s ability to sell residential loans in its portfolio on desirable terms. Commencing in late 2023, the Bank initiated development of a flow origination program under which the Bank originates individual loans for sale to specific buyers, thereby positioning the Bank to resume residential loan sales and generate fee income to complement sale premiums earned from the origination of SBA loans. During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company sold $2.9 million of residential loans under this program and recorded gains on sale of loans held-for-sale of $0.1 million. We expect the volume of activity to increase as the year progresses and our flow pipeline continues to build. Because we continue to prioritize the management of liquidity and capital, new business development is largely focused on flow originations over portfolio growth.

    The Bank’s investment in government guaranteed lending continues to yield results. During the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company sold $28.0 million and $12.6 million, respectively, of SBA loans and recorded gains on sale of loans held-for-sale of $2.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

    Commercial Real Estate Statistics

    A significant portion of the Bank’s commercial real estate portfolio consists of loans secured by Multi-Family and CRE-Investor owned real estate that are predominantly subject to fixed interest rates for an initial period of 5 years. The Bank’s exposure to Land/Construction loans is minor at $10 million, all at floating interest rates, and CRE-owner occupied loans have a sizable mix of floating rates. As shown below, these two portfolios have only 11% combined of loans maturing through the balance of 2024 and 2025, with 54% maturing in 2027 alone.

    Office Property Exposure

    The Bank’s exposure to the Office market is minor at $46 million (2% of all loans), has a 1.8x weighted average DSCR, a 56% weighted average LTV and less than $400 thousand of exposure in Manhattan. The portfolio has no delinquencies, defaults or modifications.

    Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses

    The Bank’s asset quality ratios remain solid. At June 30, 2024, the Company reported $15.8 million in non-performing loans which represented 0.79% of total loans outstanding. Non-performing loans were $14.5 million at December 31, 2023 and $14.9 million at March 31, 2024.
    During the quarter, a $4.4 million non-performing commercial real estate note was sold and a $1.2 million non-performing residential loan paid in full. This commercial real estate loan was the Bank’s largest non-performing asset, and was sold with no loss to the Bank. Offsetting these decreases was the addition of a $3.8 million loan relationship comprised of two SBA loans in the amount of $1.3 million (non-guaranteed portion) and a commercial loan in the amount of $2.5 million. Subsequent to June 30, a $1.2 million non-performing residential investor loan paid in full, lowering our current non-performing loans to $14.6 million.

    During the second quarter of 2024, the Bank recorded a provision for credit losses expense of $4.0 million. The June 30, 2024, allowance for credit losses balance was $23.6 million versus $19.7 million at December 31, 2023 and $15.4 million at June 30, 2023. The increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans is attributable to an ACL on an individually evaluated loan of $2.5 million and $1.1 million related to ongoing enhancements to the CECL model during the June 2024 quarter. The allowance for credit losses as a percent of total loans was 1.17% at June 30, 2024 versus 1.00% at December 31, 2023.

    Net Interest Margin

    The Bank’s net interest margin increased to 2.46% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 from 2.41% in the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The increase from the prior linked quarter was primarily related to the increase in the average yield on loans, partially offset by the increase in the average cost of deposits and borrowings. The Bank’s net interest margin was 2.68% in the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The decrease from the prior year 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 industry events over the last two years. The year over year margin compression reflects the effects of the rapid and significant rise in interest rates and the competitive deposit environment. We believe the Company is well positioned for the current or more favorable interest rate environments.

    Non-GAAP Disclosure

    This discussion includes non-GAAP financial measures, including the Company’s tangible common equity (“TCE”) ratio, TCE, tangible assets, tangible book value per share, return on average tangible equity and 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. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other financial institutions.

    With respect to the calculations of and reconciliations of TCE, tangible assets, TCE ratio and tangible book value per share, reconciliations to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures are provided in the tables that follow.
