Analysis of 2022 Earnings
Net income for 2022 was $46.9 million, an
increase of $3.8 million, or 8.9%, as compared to 2021. The
increase is primarily due to growth in net interest income of $8.9
million, or 8.3%, and a decrease in noninterest expense of $1.1
million. These items were partially offset by increases in the
provision for credit losses of $4.9 million and income tax expense
of $1.1 million.
The increase in net interest income reflects
growth in interest income on loans of $10.1 million due to higher
average loans outstanding of $300.5 million in 2022 offset by $2.3
million of growth in interest expense on total interest-bearing
liabilities resulting from increases in short-term rates. Also
contributing to the increase was a favorable shift in the mix of
funding as an increase in average checking deposits of $96.1
million, or 7.2%, outpaced the growth in average interest-bearing
liabilities of $23.0 million, or 1.0%, resulting in average
checking deposits comprising a larger portion of total funding. Net
interest margin for 2022 was 2.89% versus 2.74% for 2021.
In 2022, we originated $656 million in mortgage
loans at a weighted average rate of approximately 3.69% which
includes $452 million and $204 million of commercial and
residential mortgages at weighted average rates of 3.66% and 3.74%,
respectively. The Bank’s commercial and industrial loan portfolio
grew $18.1 million, or 20%, to $108 million in 2022 and has a
current weighted average rate of 6.34%.
The provision for credit losses increased $4.9
million when comparing the full year periods from a credit of $2.6
million in 2021 to a charge of $2.3 million in 2022. The provision
for the current year was mainly due to an increase in outstanding
loans, economic conditions, and low net charge-offs, partially
offset by lower historical loss rates.
Total noninterest income remained flat from the
prior year although several line items had ups and downs.
Bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) and merchant card services
revenues increased by $619,000 and $410,000, respectively. The Bank
received a final transition payment of $477,000 for the conversion
of the Bank’s retail broker and advisory accounts. Service charges
on deposit accounts increased $232,000. These increases were offset
by a decrease in investment services income of $693,000 as the
shift to an outside service provider resulted in a revenue sharing
agreement and less assets under management. Also, there were no net
gains on sales of securities in 2022 down from $1.1 million in
2021.
The decrease in noninterest expense of $1.1
million reflects the reduction in debt extinguishment costs from
2021. The Bank did have increases in noninterest expense during
2022. Salaries and benefits expense increased $1.3 million due to
the hiring of seasoned banking professionals, competitive mid-year
salary increases in 2022 and higher stock-based compensation
expense. The Bank had a net loss of $553,000 on the disposition of
premises and fixed assets relating to the Bank’s former buildings
in Glen Head and costs relating to the branding initiative in the
Bank’s branches of $531,000. Other items contributing to increases
in noninterest expense include the cost of new branch locations on
the east end of Long Island, two branch relocations, new corporate
office space in Melville, N.Y., higher marketing expense and
increases in other costs of operating the business. All increases
in expenses were offset by branch optimization and back-office
consolidation initiatives.
Income tax expense increased $1.1 million and
the effective tax rate increased from 19.2% to 19.4% when comparing
the full year periods. The increase in the effective tax rate is
mainly due to a decrease in the percentage of pre-tax income
derived from tax-exempt sources. The increase in income tax expense
is due to higher pre-tax earnings in the current year as compared
to the prior year and the higher effective tax rate.
Analysis of Earnings – Fourth Quarter
2022 Versus Fourth Quarter 2021
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2022 of
$9.9 million increased $892,000, or 9.9%, from $9.0 million earned
in the same quarter of last year. The fourth quarter of 2022
included expenses discussed above related to the net loss on the
Glen Head buildings, costs relating to the branding initiatives and
branch relocation expenses. The fourth quarter of 2021 included
branch optimization charges and debt extinguishment costs of $2.0
million and $1.0 million, respectively.
The increase in net interest income reflects
growth in interest income on loans of $3.3 million due to higher
outstanding balances, partially offset by higher interest expense
due to an increase in borrowings to fund balance sheet growth and
higher deposit costs. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities
increased from .60% for the 2021 quarter to 1.23% in the current
quarter. The decrease in the provision for credit losses was
primarily due to lower loan originations in the 2022 quarter and an
improvement in historical loss rates, partially offset by higher
charges in 2022 for economic conditions. Salaries and benefits
expense and income tax expense increased for substantially the same
reasons discussed above with respect to the full year periods.
During the fourth quarter of 2022, we originated
$63 million of loans at a weighted average rate of approximately
5.44% which includes $23 million of commercial mortgages at a
weighted average rate of 5.80% and $31 million of residential
mortgages at a weighted average rate of 5.08%.
Analysis of Earnings – Fourth Quarter
Versus Third Quarter 2022
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2022
declined $2.6 million, or 20.5%, as compared to the third quarter.
The decrease was mainly due to an increase in interest expense of
$3.1 million, or 68.4%, primarily due to higher borrowing costs and
a shift in the mix of funding from average checking deposits which
declined $70.7 million into interest-bearing liabilities which
increased $41.4 million. Also contributing to the decline in net
income were the aforementioned loss on the disposition of premises
and fixed assets, branding and branch relocation costs. Partially
offsetting the downward impact on net income of these items were
declines in the provision for loan losses of $1.0 million due to
lower historical loss rates and lower net charge-offs and income
tax expense due to lower pre-tax income.
Asset Quality
The Bank’s allowance for credit losses to total
loans (reserve coverage ratio) was .95% at December 31, 2022 as
compared to .94% at September 30, 2022 and .96% at December 31,
2021. The increase in the reserve coverage ratio during the fourth
quarter was mainly due to current and forecasted economic
conditions. Nonaccrual and modified loans and loans past due 30
through 89 days remain at low levels.
Capital
The Corporation’s capital position remains
strong with a Leverage Ratio of approximately 9.83% on December 31,
2022. We repurchased 217,392 shares of common stock during the
fourth quarter of 2022 at a cost of $4.0 million and 915,868 shares
during the year at a cost of $17.9 million. The Bank has approval
to repurchase an additional $15 million.
The Corporation’s ROE was 10.74% and 12.13% for
the fourth quarter and full year of 2022, respectively, an increase
when compared to 8.50% and 10.34%, respectively, for the same
periods in 2021. The increases in ROE were due to higher net income
for both periods as well as an increase in accumulated other
comprehensive loss due to a significant increase in the net
unrealized loss in the available-for-sale securities portfolio
resulting from higher market interest rates which reduced
stockholders’ equity. The unrealized loss also accounted for a
$2.50 reduction in the Corporation’s book value per share of $16.24
at December 31, 2022. Based on the Corporation’s market value per
share at December 31, 2022 of $18.00, the dividend yield is
4.7%.
Key Initiatives and Challenges We
Face
We continue focusing on the Corporation’s
strategic initiatives to expand primarily our commercial banking
relationships and business, improve technology with software and
hardware upgrades, enhance digital product offerings and optimize
our branch network across a larger geography. By developing our
branding efforts, including increasing our website and social media
presence, we enhance name recognition including the promotion of
FirstInvestments. Recruitment of experienced banking professionals
support these initiatives. We also continue to track regulatory
developments relative to cybersecurity, environmental, social and
governance practices and expectations, and we are cognizant of our
corporate responsibilities.
The current economic environment, characterized
by a high rate of inflation, rapidly rising interest rates and an
inverted yield curve presents significant financial challenges for
the Corporation. While the yield on interest-earning assets grew
faster during 2022 than the cost of interest-bearing liabilities,
current funding costs are rising significantly faster than asset
yields as depositors increasingly seek higher returns due to rising
market interest rates. During the fourth quarter of 2022 increases
in interest expense substantially outpaced the growth in interest
income due to the Corporation’s liability sensitive balance sheet.
Our net interest margin decreased to 2.74% for the last three
months of 2022, 23 basis points lower than the prior two
quarters.
