Northeast Bank (the “Bank”) (NASDAQ: NBN), a Maine-based full-service bank, today reported net income of $10.6 million, or $1.36 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to net income of $34.2 million, or $4.06 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 was $31.9 million, or $3.98 per diluted common share, compared to $50.1 million, or $6.01 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2021. Net income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 included $33.0 million of net gains on the sale of U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans originated and sold during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, which had an after-tax earnings per diluted common share impact of $2.75 and $2.80, respectively.

The Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.01 per share, payable on May 18, 2022, to shareholders of record as of May 4, 2022.

“We reported strong results in our third fiscal quarter,” said Rick Wayne, Chief Executive Officer. “Originations by our National Lending Division were particularly strong, with $152.1 million for the quarter, or $415.0 million for the fiscal year to date. This resulted in net growth in our originated portfolio of $61.3 million, or 9.9%, compared with December 31, 2021, or $157.0 million, or 30.0%, compared with June 30, 2021. We increased National Lending originated interest income by $2.5 million, or 29.6%, compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2021.” Mr. Wayne continued, “As a result of this activity, we are reporting earnings of $1.36 per diluted common share, a return on average equity of 17.6%, and a return on average assets of 2.8% for the quarter.”

As of March 31, 2022, total assets were $1.57 billion, a decrease of $608.3 million, or 28.0%, from total assets of $2.17 billion as of June 30, 2021.

1.   Cash and short-term investments decreased by $784.7 million, or 77.7%, primarily due to the timing of a large deposit account related to SBA 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 $594.3 million, or 31.9%, from June 30, 2021. The decrease was attributable to decreases in demand deposits of $590.6 million, or 60.7% and time deposits of $160.0 million, or 57.6%, partially offset by an increase in savings and interest checking deposits of $170.7 million, or 52.5%. 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 nine months ended March 31, 2022.

4.   Shareholders’ equity increased by $15.1 million, or 6.5%, from June 30, 2021, primarily due to net income of $31.9 million, partially offset by the repurchase of 535 thousand shares of voting common stock at a weighted average price per share of $33.28, which resulted in a $17.8 million decrease to shareholders’ equity. Shareholders’ equity also increased by $1.4 million as a result of stock compensation expense recognized.

Net income decreased by $23.6 million to $10.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to net income of $34.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

1.   Net interest and dividend income before provision for loan losses increased by $2.4 million to $21.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $18.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to the following:

  • An increase in interest income earned on the National Lending Division’s purchased and originated portfolios of $3.7 million, due to higher average balances, partially offset by lower rates earned in both portfolios;
  • A decrease in deposit interest expense of $887 thousand, due to lower interest rates and lower average balances;
  • A decrease of $300 thousand in interest expense due to advances taken from the PPPLF to fund PPP originations during the quarter ended March 31, 2021; and
  • A decrease of $282 thousand in interest expense due to the payoff of the subordinated debt; partially offset by,
  • A decrease in PPP loan interest income of $2.6 million, due to the significant decrease in PPP loans during the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

2.   Noninterest income decreased by $34.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021, principally due to the following:

  • A decrease in gain on sale of PPP loans of $33.0 million, due to the sale of PPP loans with a total principal balance of $2.14 billion, which resulted in a net gain based on the recognition of net deferred fees in the quarter ended March 31, 2021 as compared to no sales in the quarter ended March 31, 2022; and
  • A decrease in correspondent fee income of $1.0 million from the recognition of correspondent fees and net servicing income. Correspondent income for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 is comprised of the following components:

(1) - The Bank's share(2) - Expected to be recognized into income over life of loans(3) - Loan Source’s ending PPP loan balance was $2.79 billion as of March 31, 2022

In addition to the decreases above:

  • An increase in unrealized loss on equity securities of $159 thousand.

3.   Noninterest expense increased by $1.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to the following:

  • An increase in salaries and employee benefits expense of $2.1 million, primarily due to a decrease in deferred salaries contra-expense related to PPP originations in the quarter ended March 31, 2021, partially offset by a decrease in bonus expense, due to a non-recurring increase in bonus expense in the quarter ended March 31, 2021 attributable to the high level of PPP originations and sales; and
  • An increase in other noninterest expense of $175 thousand, primarily due to a $184 thousand decrease in recovery on the SBA servicing asset; partially offset by,
  • A decrease in loan expense of $403 thousand, due to decreases in real estate owned (“REO”) expense and collection legal expense due to reimbursements, partially offset by an increase in other collection expense; and
  • A decrease in data processing fees of $135 thousand, primarily due to decreases in IT professional implementation expenses and computer service fees, partially offset by increases in software license expense and monitoring and support expense.

4.   Income tax expense decreased by $9.8 million to $4.7 million, or an effective tax rate of 30.6%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $14.5 million, or an effective tax rate of 29.8%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in income tax expense is due to the decrease in pre-tax income. The increase in the effective tax rate from March 31, 2021 is primarily due to changes in state tax apportionment.

As of March 31, 2022, nonperforming assets totaled $17.9 million, or 1.14% of total assets, compared to $20.4 million, or 0.94% of total assets, as of June 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of three REO properties totaling $1.7 million and the paydown of one nonperforming National Lending originated loan totaling $1.0 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2022.

As of March 31, 2022, past due loans totaled $13.1 million, or 1.07% of total loans, 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 two National Lending purchased loans totaling $2.6 million that became past due, partially offset by the paydown of one National Lending originated loan totaling $1.0 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2022.

As of March 31, 2022, the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 16.2%, compared to 13.6% at June 30, 2021, and the Total capital ratio was 20.6% at March 31, 2022, 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.
