Northeast Bank (the “Bank”) (NASDAQ: NBN), a Maine-based full-service bank, today reported net income of $11.4 million, or $1.42 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, compared to net income of $8.2 million, or $0.98 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. Net income for the six months ended December 31, 2021 was $21.3 million, or $2.63 per diluted common share, compared to $16.0 million, or $1.92 per diluted common share, for the six months ended December 31, 2020.

The Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.01 per share, payable on February 24, 2022, to shareholders of record as of February 10, 2022.

“We reported strong results and net loan growth in our second fiscal quarter,” said Rick Wayne, Chief Executive Officer. “Our National Lending Division generated a record $260.5 million in originations and purchases for the quarter, growing the National Lending portfolio by $112.6 million, or 11.4%, over September 30, 2021, and $151.1 million, or 15.9%, over June 30, 2021. The originated yield and purchased return for the quarter was 6.5% and 9.0%, respectively. We continued to benefit from our correspondent arrangement with The Loan Source, Inc. and NEWITY (formerly ACAP SME, LLC), generating $6.0 million of correspondent fee income during the quarter. For the quarter, we earned $1.42 per diluted common share, a return on average equity of 18.8%, a return on average assets of 2.9% and repurchased 354 thousand shares at a weighted average price of $33.94.”

As of December 31, 2021, total assets were $1.46 billion, a decrease of $714.4 million, or 32.9%, from total assets of $2.17 billion as of June 30, 2021, primarily due to the $844.3 million, or 83.6%, decrease in cash and short-term investments, as discussed below. The principal components of the changes in the balance sheet follow:

1.  Cash and short-term investments decreased by $844.3 million, or 83.6%, from June 30, 2021, primarily due to the timing of a large deposit account related to U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) elevated loan payoff collections at June 30, 2021. 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 asset sales, 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.”

3.  Deposits decreased by $709.2 million, or 38.1%, from June 30, 2021, attributable to decreases in demand deposits of $655.9 million, or 67.5%, time deposits of $101.5 million, or 36.5%, and money market accounts of $29.4 million, or 10.3%, partially offset by an increase in savings and interest-bearing checking accounts of $77.6 million, or 23.9%. 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 six months ended December 31, 2021.

4.  Shareholders’ equity increased by $6.8 million, or 3.0%, from June 30, 2021, primarily due to net income of $21.3 million and stock-based compensation of $480 thousand, partially offset by the repurchase of 456 thousand shares of voting common stock at a weighted average price per share of $33.04, which resulted in a $15.1 million decrease in shareholders’ equity.

Net income increased by $3.2 million to $11.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, compared to net income of $8.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020.

1.  Net interest and dividend income before provision for loan losses increased by $4.7 million to $20.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, compared to $15.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the following:

  • An increase in interest income earned on loans of $3.1 million, primarily due to an increase in interest income earned on the National Lending Division’s originated and purchased portfolios, due to higher average balances, partially offset by lower rates earned on both portfolios;
  • A decrease in deposit interest expense of $1.3 million, primarily due to lower interest rates and a repositioning of the Bank’s deposit portfolio; and
  • A decrease in interest expense on subordinated debt of $282 thousand, as the Bank redeemed its $15.1 million subordinated debt in full at par plus accrued interest on July 1, 2021; partially offset by,
  • A decrease of $117 thousand in interest income earned on securities, due to lower rates earned and lower average balances.

(1) The total return on purchased loans represents scheduled accretion, accelerated accretion, gains on asset sales and gains on real estate owned recorded during the period divided by the average invested balance, which includes purchased loans held for sale, on an annualized basis. The total return does not include the effect of purchased loan charge-offs or recoveries in the quarter. Total return is considered a non-GAAP financial measure.

2.  Provision (credit) for loan losses decreased by $1.4 million to a credit of $1.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, from a $365 thousand provision in the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in the provision (credit) for loan losses reflects decreases in certain qualitative factors during the current quarter as a result of continued improvements relative to the COVID-19 pandemic, as compared to increases in certain qualitative factors during the quarter ended December 31, 2020 as a result of impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic.

3. Noninterest income decreased by $4 thousand for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to the following:

  • An increase in gain on real estate owned (“REO”) of $260 thousand, due to the gain on sale of a REO property during the current quarter, as compared to a large write-down on an existing REO property and a net loss on the sale of two REO properties during the quarter ended December 31, 2020; partially offset by,
  • A decrease in fees for other customers of $184 thousand, due to lower commercial loan servicing fees due to SBA loan payoffs;
  • An increase in unrealized loss on equity securities of $37 thousand; and
  • A decrease in correspondent fee income of $41 thousand from the recognition of correspondent fees and net servicing income. Correspondent income for the quarters ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 is comprised of the following components:
  Three Months Ended December 31,

(1) - Northeast Bank's share(2) - Expected to be recognized into income over life of loans(3) - Loan Source’s ending PPP loan balance was $4.64 billion as of December 31, 2021

4.  Noninterest expense increased by $759 thousand for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to the following:

  • An increase in salaries and employee benefits expense of $1.4 million, primarily due to increases in regular employee compensation, bonus, and stock compensation expense; and
  • An increase in other noninterest expense of $42 thousand, primarily due to increases in insurance expense, travel and meals and entertainment expense, and correspondent banking fees during the quarter ended December 31, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020; partially offset by,
  • A decrease in loan expense of $613 thousand, due to a decrease in PPP and SBA 7(a) expenses of $424 thousand, and decreases in REO and collection expense due to collection reimbursements during the quarter ended December 31, 2021; and
  • A decrease in occupancy and equipment expense of $183 thousand, primarily due to the closure of an office location during the quarter ended December 31, 2020.

5.  Income tax expense increased by $2.1 million to $5.0 million, or an effective tax rate of 30.6%, for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, compared to $2.9 million, or an effective tax rate of 26.3%, for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher pre-tax income, which increased by $5.3 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2021 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The increase in effective tax rate was primarily due to $472 thousand of tax benefits arising from the exercise of stock options during the quarter ended December 31, 2020, as compared to only $44 thousand of tax benefits in the quarter ended December 31, 2021.

As of December 31, 2021, nonperforming assets totaled $21.3 million, or 1.46% of total assets, as compared to $20.4 million, or 0.94% of total assets, as of June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to five National Lending Division loans totaling $4.3 million that were placed on nonaccrual during the six months ended December 31, 2021, partially offset by the sale of three REO properties totaling $1.8 million, and paydowns of $1.4 million on nonaccrual loans.

As of December 31, 2021, past due loans totaled $14.6 million, or 1.23% of total loans, as compared to past due loans totaling $11.3 million, or 1.08% of total loans as of June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to three National Lending Division loans totaling $4.3 million becoming past due during the six months ended December 31, 2021, partially offset by two purchased loans totaling $1.1 million that became current.

As of December 31, 2021, the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 15.2%, compared to 13.6% at June 30, 2021, and the Total capital ratio was 20.8% at December 31, 2021, 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.
