The Company reported first quarter 2022 GAAP EPS of $0.58, down 3.3% YoY, ROAA of 0.91%, and ROAE of 10.83%. For the first quarter, Core EPS of $0.61 increased, 13.0% YoY with ROAA of 0.94% and ROAE of 11.27%.
“Activity in the New York City area is returning to more normal levels and this is seen in our results: 1Q22 loan closings, excluding SBA Paycheck Protection Program loans (“PPP”), up 65% YoY and average noninterest bearing deposits up 17% YoY. The Company is benefiting from the improved economic activity and merger activity as the loan pipeline is at record levels, up 77% YoY and 55% QoQ. Net loans, excluding PPP loans, were flat QoQ due to prepayment speeds remaining elevated as borrowers sought to lock in low rates before the Fed increased short-term rates. Our pricing discipline translated into pipeline yields that are at peak levels for the past 12 months. The Company is in a better position for rising rates than the previous rising rate cycle with a higher percentage of noninterest bearing deposits, lower balances of CDs and borrowings, over $400 million of funding hedges (that will effectively reprice over the next 2 years), and approximately 25% of loans will reprice within one year or 30% including loan hedges.”
- John R. Buran, President and CEO

NIM Expansion QoQ; Pipeline at Record Level; Business Loans Increase. Record net interest income of $63.5 million increased 4.2% YoY and 1.3% QoQ. NIM expanded 18 bps to 3.36% YoY and 7 bps QoQ. Core NIM increased by 25 bps to 3.31% YoY and 10 bps QoQ. The increase in the NIM QoQ was primarily due to a 7 bps improvement in the cost of funds. Period end net loans, excluding PPP, were flat QoQ, with commercial business and other loans increasing 14% annualized. Loan closings, excluding PPP, were up 65% YoY, but repayment speeds remained elevated both QoQ and YoY. With the Federal Reserve increasing short-term rates, we expect refinance volume to slow in 2022. Additionally, we continue to benefit from the merger disruption in our markets as we have hired 30 people, including 12 revenue producers, over the past year from institutions involved with mergers. Returned 84% of Earnings in 1Q22; Stable Tangible Book Value Per Share. The Company returned 84% of earning in 1Q22 through dividends and share repurchases of 360,000 shares of common stock at an average price of $23.52. Despite rising rates, book value and tangible book value per share were stable QoQ, while TCE/TA1 was 8.05% at March 31, 2022 compared to 8.22% QoQ.

______________________(1) Ratios are presented on an annualized basis, where appropriate.(2) Yields are calculated on the tax equivalent basis using the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% for the periods presented.(3) Efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP measure, was calculated by dividing noninterest expense (excluding merger expense, OREO expense, prepayment penalty on borrowings, the net gain/loss from the sale of OREO and net amortization of purchase accounting adjustments) by the total of net interest income (excluding net gains and losses from fair value adjustments on qualifying hedges and net amortization of purchase accounting adjustments) and noninterest income (excluding life insurance proceeds, net gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities, assets and fair value adjustments).(4) Calculated by dividing stockholders’ equity by shares outstanding.(5) Calculated by dividing tangible stockholders’ common equity, a non-GAAP measure, by shares outstanding. Tangible stockholders’ common equity is stockholders’ equity less intangible assets (goodwill, net of deferred taxes). See “Calculation of Tangible Stockholders’ Common Equity to Tangible Assets”.(6) See “Calculation of Tangible Stockholders’ Common Equity to Tangible Assets”.(7) Excludes performing nonaccrual TDR loans.

Non-cash Fair Value Adjustments to GAAP Earnings

The variance in GAAP and core earnings is partly driven by the impact of non-cash net gains and losses from fair value adjustments. These fair value adjustments relate primarily to swaps designated to protect against rising rates and borrowing carried at fair value under the fair value option. As the swaps get closer to maturity, the volatility in fair value adjustments will dissipate. In a declining interest rate environment, the movement in the curve exaggerates our mark-to-market loss position. In a rising interest rate environment or a steepening of the yield curve, the loss position would experience an improvement.

Core Net Income, Core Diluted EPS, Core ROAE, Core ROAA, Pre-provision Pre-tax Net Revenue, Core Net Interest Income FTE, Core Net Interest Margin FTE, Base Net Interest Income FTE, Base Net Interest Margin FTE, Core Interest Income and Yield on Total Loans, Base Interest Income and Yield on Total Loans, Core Noninterest Income, Core Noninterest Expense and Tangible Book Value per common share are each non-GAAP measures used in this release. A reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures appears below in tabular form. The Company believes that these measures are useful for both investors and management to understand the effects of certain interest and noninterest items and provide an alternative view of the Company's performance over time and in comparison to the Company's competitors. These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for net income. The Company believes that tangible book value per common share is useful for both investors and management as these are measures commonly used by financial institutions, regulators and investors to measure the capital adequacy of financial institutions. The Company believes these measures facilitate comparison of the quality and composition of the Company's capital over time and in comparison to its competitors. These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for total shareholders' equity.

These non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results reported under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
