CEO and Board Chair Commentary
Timothy T. O’Dell, President and CEO, commented: “Our Q1 results were impacted by $1.2 million of provision expense, coupled with approximately $750 thousand of other nonrecurring items including higher payroll tax expense, which is typically elevated during the first quarter, and recruiting fees. PPNR was $5.0 million for the quarter reflective of solid core earnings performance.
Our net interest margin (“NIM”) remained relatively stable during Q1, which we believe is indicative of greater stabilization going forward. Our NIM for Q1 included some one-time impacts including fewer days along with lower loan fees. In the face of local regional bank competitors promoting ultra-high rates on money market savings accounts, we held the line and successfully maintained our overall cost of funds.
Credit quality remains strong in our core customer loan portfolios. CFBank has sustained minimal loan losses during the previous 12 years, coupled with strong growth performance. We believe our industry, CFBank included, will return to more normalized levels of loan losses going forward.
We generated $37 million of new commercial loan production during Q1. Net growth was impacted by significant loan payoffs during Q1, mostly from successful CRE projects being refinanced at completion by permanent lenders. We anticipate positive growth in interest income as new loan pricing is adjusted upward, plus existing loans refinancing at higher market rates. An objective is to produce interest income increases which will require lower net loan growth rates and consequently also be beneficial to operations through deploying less capital.
Going forward we believe our business initiatives will result in fee income growth. In particular, we see opportunities within our Treasury Management and Mortgage Lending lines of business.
We continue to have success attracting proven banking talent for building and strengthening all of our Regional Banking Teams. Our boutique business model continues to resonate strongly with closely held business owners. Competitively we compete effectively with regional players for banking talent along with quality Business & Personal Banking relationships.
Challenging but with much opportunity is our 2024 theme.”
Robert E. Hoeweler, Chairman of the Board, added: “Our seasoned CFBank Team has remained nimble and proactive in the face of unique challenges and the ever-changing landscape the banking industry continues to experience. We believe this ability has us well positioned to opportunistically capture new business as we move through 2024.”
Overview of Results
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 totaled $3.1 million (or $0.47 per diluted common share) compared to net income of $4.2 million (or $0.65 per diluted common share) for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and net income of $4.4 million (or $0.68 per diluted common share) for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Pre-provision, pre-tax net revenue (“PPNR”) for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $5.0 million compared to PPNR of $6.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and PPNR of $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income totaled $11.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 and decreased $470,000, or 4.0%, compared to $11.8 million in the prior quarter, and decreased $1.4 million, or 11.4%, compared to $12.7 million in the first quarter of 2023.
The decrease in net interest income compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to a $626,000, or 2.1%, decrease in interest income, partially offset by a $156,000, or 0.9%, decrease in interest expense. The decrease in interest income was primarily attributed to a 9bps decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets, coupled with a $14.3 million, or 0.74%, decrease in average interest-earning assets. The decrease in interest expense when compared to the prior quarter was attributed to a $21.2 million, or 1.3%, decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a 2bps increase in the average cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin of 2.36% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 decreased 8bps compared to the net interest margin of 2.44% for the prior quarter.
The decrease in net interest income compared to the first quarter of 2023 was primarily due to a $6.4 million, or 55.6%, increase in interest expense, partially offset by a $4.9 million, or 20.3%, increase in interest income. The increase in interest expense was attributed to a 127bps increase in the average cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities, coupled with a $166.4 million, or 11.8%, increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. The increase in interest income was primarily attributed to a $176.3 million, or 10.2%, increase in average interest-earning assets outstanding, coupled with a 51bps increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets. The net interest margin of 2.36% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 decreased 57bps compared to the net interest margin of 2.93% for the first quarter of 2023.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 totaled $905,000 and decreased $128,000, or 12.4%, compared to $1.0 million for the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily due to a $270,000 decrease in other noninterest income, partially offset by a $113,000 increase in net gain on sales of commercial loans.
Noninterest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 increased $186,000, or 25.9%, compared to $719,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to a $255,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts and a $167,000 increase in the net gain on sales of commercial loans, partially offset by a $299,000 decrease in other noninterest income.
The following table represents the notional amount of loans sold during the three months ended March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2023 (in thousands).

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 totaled $7.2 million and increased $442,000, or 6.6%, compared to $6.7 million for the prior quarter. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to a $338,000 increase in loan expense and a $179,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits. The increase in salaries and benefits was primarily due to an increase in payroll taxes which on a percentage basis is higher in the first quarter of the year.
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 decreased $504,000, or 7.0%, compared to $7.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in noninterest expense was primarily due to a $478,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits. The decrease in salaries and employee benefits was primarily due to a decrease in the number of employees coupled with lower payroll taxes.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $695,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 (effective tax rate of 18.5%), compared to $932,000 for the prior quarter (effective tax rate of 18.0%) and $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 (effective tax rate of 19.5%).
Loans and Loans Held For Sale
Net loans and leases totaled $1.7 billion at March 31, 2024 and increased $1.6 million, or 0.1%, from December 31, 2023. The increase in net loans and leases from December 31, 2023, was primarily due to a $28.8 million increase in commercial real estate loan balances, partially offset by a $12.3 million decrease in construction loan balances, a $9.3 million decrease in commercial loan balances, a $3.0 million decrease in single-family residential loan balances, and a $2.0 million decrease in multi-family loan balances. The increases in the aforementioned loan balances were primarily related to increased sales activity and new relationships. The decrease in construction loan balances was primarily related to loans that were converted to permanent loans upon the completion of construction.

Asset Quality
Nonaccrual loans were $7.9 million, or 0.46%, of total loans at March 31, 2024, an increase of $2.2 million from $5.7 million at December 31, 2023 and an increase of $7.2 million from $718,000 at March 31, 2023. The increase in nonaccrual loans when compared to the prior quarter end was primarily due to two commercial loans, totaling $1.6 million, one single-family residential loan, totaling $372,000, and one consumer loan, totaling $251,000, becoming nonaccrual during the first quarter of 2024.
The increase in nonaccrual loans when compared to March 31, 2023 was primarily driven by nine commercial loans, totaling $6.6 million, becoming nonaccrual during since March 31, 2023. Loans past due more than 30 days totaled $5.4 million at March 31, 2024 compared to $2.0 million at December 31, 2023 and $973,000 at March 31, 2023.
The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases totaled $18.2 million at March 31, 2024 compared to $16.9 million at December 31, 2023 and $15.9 million at March 31, 2023. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases to total loans and leases was 1.06% at March 31, 2024 compared to 0.99% at December 31, 2023 and 0.98% at March 31, 2023. The increase in the allowance for credit losses during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by an increase in reserves placed on an individually-evaluated commercial loan.
There was $1.2 million in provision for credit losses expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to $875,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 and $237,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Net recoveries for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 totaled $16,000 compared to net charge-offs of $623,000 for the prior quarter and net charge offs of $5,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
Deposits
Deposits totaled $1.7 billion at March 31, 2024, a decrease of $21.0 million, or 1.2%, when compared to $1.7 billion at December 31, 2023. The decrease when compared to December 31, 2023, is primarily due to a $21.9 million decrease in interest-bearing account balances, partially offset by a $925,000 increase in noninterest-bearing account balances. The decrease in interest-bearing account balances was primarily due to a $51.1 million decrease in brokered account balances, partially offset by an increase of $28.5 million in core deposit balances.
At March 31, 2024, approximately 29.8% of our deposit balances exceeded the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000, as compared to approximately 29.2% at December 31, 2023.
Borrowings
FHLB advances and other debt totaled $111.0 million at March 31, 2023 and increased $1.0 million when compared to $110.0 million at December 31, 2023. The increase when compared to December 31, 2023, was due to a $1.0 million increase on the Company’s line of credit with a third party financial institution.
Capital
Stockholders’ equity totaled $158.0 million at March 31, 2024, an increase of $2.6 million, or 1.7%, from $155.4 million at December 31, 2023. The increase in total stockholders’ equity during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily attributed to net income, partially offset by $386,000 in dividend payments.
