Northeast Bank, a full-service bank headquartered in Portland, Maine, specializes in personal and business banking services and operates a National Lending Division that manages commercial loans nationwide. In the latest quarter, Northeast Bank reported a notable increase in net income to $22.4 million, reflecting strong performance compared to the previous year. The bank also declared a cash dividend of $0.01 per share.
Key financial highlights include the National Lending Division’s record originations of $246.4 million, contributing to a total loan volume of $260.4 million. The bank’s assets grew significantly by 30.4% to $4.08 billion, and deposits rose by 34.7%, primarily driven by increases in time deposits. Additionally, the bank benefited from a gain of $5.6 million from the sale of SBA loans, and an ATM offering was approved to potentially raise $75 million in capital.
The bank’s financial performance showed an increase in net interest and dividend income by $11.5 million, driven by higher interest income from loans and investments. However, interest expenses on deposits also rose significantly. Noninterest income saw a boost due to increased gains from SBA loan sales, while noninterest expenses increased due to higher salaries, loan expenses, and FDIC insurance costs.
Looking forward, Northeast Bank’s management remains focused on capitalizing on growth opportunities within its lending divisions while maintaining a strong asset base and improving efficiency. With strategic initiatives in place, the bank aims to continue its trajectory of financial growth and stability.
