  • Net Income was $4.0 million ($0.62 per diluted common share) for the third quarter and $12.7 million ($1.97 per diluted common share) for the first nine months of 2023. Third quarter results included a $1.2 million provision for credit losses.

  • For the third quarter of 2023, Return on Average Assets (ROA) was 0.82% and PPNR ROA was 1.27%, while Return on Average Equity (ROE) was 10.75% and PPNR ROE was 16.55%.
  • Book value per share increased to $23.10 as of September 30, 2023.
  • Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2023 increased 33% when compared to the second quarter of 2023. 
  • Credit quality remains strong with nonperforming loans to total loans of 0.27% and loans more than 30 days past due at 0.14% of total loans as of September 30, 2023.

Recent Developments

  • On October 3, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a Cash Dividend of $0.06 per share payable on October 27, 2023 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on October 16, 2023.

CEO and Board Chair Commentary

Timothy T. O’Dell, President and CEO, commented: “Net earnings were $4.0 Million, or $0.62 per diluted common share for the third quarter, reflecting provision for credit losses of $1.2 million. PPNR was $6.2 million for the third quarter, an increase of more than $900k versus the second quarter.

Loan Pipelines and quality new Business Opportunities, including both Deposits and Loans, remain strong. We continue to capture additional quality business opportunities and new customers, with many coming from larger regional and other bank competitors.

Fee income also expanded significantly during the third quarter. While we expect reduced swap fee income in the fourth quarter (as our third quarter Loans with Swap fees were unusually strong), we expect other fee income businesses to continue to expand. These include Business Credit Cards and salable Residential mortgage loan volumes, both of which continue to increase.

Our efficiency ratio showed meaningful improvement in the third quarter, as we continue to focus on maintaining highly efficient Operations and effective management of Overhead expenses.

Low-cost Deposit initiatives are producing improved results, with noninterest bearing deposits growing during the fourth quarter to date.

During the third quarter, our provision for credit losses was $1.2 million. This was primarily driven by specific reserves being placed on two loans. The CFBank lending and credit teams achieved net zero loan losses 7 of the previous 10 years through 2022. Credit quality remains strong.

Net interest margin (NIM) is reflecting greater stability. Income opportunities exist going forward for re-pricing maturing loans as well as loans refinancing in the normal course of business. Earlier adjustments to loan pricing in response to the higher interest rate environment are positively impacting Loan yields and interest income.

Going forward into 2024, we foresee improving earnings stability. Additionally, we see growth opportunities returning. We remain disciplined as well as selective in our Lending and Credit Businesses. We are managing Risk/Reward by ensuring appropriate Loan Pricing and Deal Structuring, and accompanying Deposit relationships, are all present.

Our business priorities for the fourth quarter and into 2024 include improving our Deposit mix by adding low-cost deposits through new Cash Management relationships. We have begun to see increased low-cost deposit traction and Pipelines as earlier and ongoing deposit initiatives are producing positive results. For example, we have added nearly 200 new Ultimate Business Advantage Checking (UBAC) accounts since launching this new Product in March.

We intend to remain opportunistic, taking advantage of competitive market uncertainty to gain quality new Business relationships and increase Market Share in all of our Geographic Market Locations.

Our Best is yet Ahead!

Robert E. Hoeweler, Chairman of the Board, added: “Our seasoned CFBank Leadership has deep experience dealing with changing business and economic cycles. In every instance, our CFBank Team has successfully made prudent operating adjustments for overcoming prevailing headwinds. 

A testament to our Leadership during this challenging period for the Banking industry, CFBank has continued to effectively grow both Deposits and Loans, while capturing quality new business and customers.

We believe our consistency and discipline with executing our business principles will have us well positioned for the future when the operating conditions become more favorable. In the interim, we continue to increase franchise and book values.”

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 totaled $12.7 million (or $1.97 per diluted common share) compared to net income of $13.5 million (or $2.06 per diluted common share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income totaled $11.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 and increased $181,000, or 1.6%, compared to $11.5 million in the prior quarter, and decreased $1.6 million, or 12.4%, compared to $13.3 million in the third quarter of 2022.

The increase in net interest income compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to a $1.9 million, or 7.4%, increase in interest income, partially offset by a $1.8 million, or 11.9%, increase in interest expense. The increase in interest income was primarily attributed to a 28bps increase in average yield on interest-earning assets, coupled with a $44.9 million, or 2.5%, increase in average interest-earning assets. The increase in interest expense when compared to the prior quarter was attributed to a 35bps increase in the average cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities, coupled with a $41.3 million, or 2.7%, increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin of 2.50% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 decreased 2bps compared to the net interest margin of 2.52% for the prior quarter.

The decrease in net interest income compared to the third quarter of 2022 was primarily due to an $11.8 million, or 251.8%, increase in interest expense, partially offset by a $10.2 million, or 56.4%, increase in interest income. The increase in interest expense was attributed to a 274bps increase in the average cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities, coupled with a $307.5 million, or 24.6%, increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. The increase in interest income was primarily attributed to a 150bps increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets, coupled with a $278.0 million, or 17.6%, increase in average interest-earning assets outstanding. The net interest margin of 2.50% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 decreased 86bps compared to the net interest margin of 3.36% for the third quarter of 2022.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 totaled $1.3 million and increased $323,000, or 33.0%, compared to $978,000 for the prior quarter. The increase was primarily due to a $302,000 increase in swap fee income and a $17,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts. 

Noninterest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 increased $596,000, or 84.5%, compared to $705,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to a $420,000 increase in swap fee income and a $128,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts.

The following table represents the notional amount of loans sold during the three months ended September 30, 2023, June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2022 (in thousands).

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 totaled $6.8 million and decreased $413,000, or 5.8%, compared to $7.2 million for the prior quarter. The decrease in noninterest expense was primarily due to a $358,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits, which was primarily due to a decrease in the number of employees coupled with lower payroll taxes.

Noninterest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 decreased $1.8 million, or 21.4%, compared to $8.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in noninterest expense was primarily due to a $692,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits, a $594,000 decrease in data processing, and a $570,000 decrease in the impairment of property and equipment. The decrease in salaries and employee benefits was primarily due to a decrease in the number of employees coupled with lower payroll taxes. The decrease in data processing was due to the core processing system conversion that occurred in the third quarter of 2022, which included some one-time conversion costs. The decrease in the impairment of property and equipment was related to the pending contract in the third quarter of 2022 for the sale of the Company’s Worthington headquarters building, which was completed in May 2023.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $984,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 (effective tax rate of 19.6%), compared to $1.1 million for the prior quarter (effective tax rate of 20.0%) and $1.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 (effective tax rate of 19.4%).

The increase in net loans and leases from June 30, 2023 was primarily due to a $23.1 million increase in construction loan balances, a $15.2 million increase in multi-family loan balances, and a $3.9 million increase in single-family residential loan balances, partially offset by an $11.9 million decrease in commercial loan balances. The increases in the aforementioned loan balances were related to increased sales activity and new relationships.

The increase in net loans and leases from December 31, 2022 was primarily due to a $33.2 million increase in construction loan balances, a $20.7 million increase in in multi-family loan balances, a $17.4 million increase in commercial real estate loan balances, a $12.0 million increase in single-family residential loan balances, and a $4.8 million increase in home equity lines of credit.

Asset Quality

Nonaccrual loans were $4.6 million, or 0.27%, of total loans at September 30, 2023, an increase of $3.8 million from $799,000 at June 30, 2023 and an increase of $3.8 million from $761,000 at December 31, 2022. The increase in nonaccrual loans was primarily driven by two commercial loans, totaling $3.6 million, becoming nonaccrual during the third quarter of 2023. Loans past due more than 30 days totaled $2.4 million at September 30, 2023 compared to $1.9 million at June 30, 2023 and $2.1 million at December 31, 2022. 

The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases totaled $17.0 million at September 30, 2023 compared to $16.0 million at June 30, 2023 and $16.1 million at December 31, 2022. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases to total loans and leases was 1.02% at September 30, 2023 compared to 0.97% at June 30, 2023 and 1.01% at December 31, 2022. The increase in the allowance for credit losses during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by reserves placed on the two individually evaluated commercial loans, which were also placed on nonaccrual status during the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the current expected credit loss (CECL) model, which resulted in an increase to the reserve for credit losses of $49,000. There was $1.2 million in provision for credit loss expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, a $12,000 provision for credit loss expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and a $150,000 provision for credit loss expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. Net charge-offs for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 totaled $126,000 compared to net recoveries of $108,000 for the prior quarter and net recoveries of $5,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Deposits

Deposits totaled $1.7 billion at September 30, 2023, an increase of $24.9 million, or 1.5%, when compared to $1.7 billion at June 30, 2023, and an increase of $157.1 million, or 10.3%, when compared to $1.5 billion at December 31 2022. The increase when compared to the prior quarter end is primarily due to a $32.6 million increase in certificate of deposit account balances and a $1.6 million increase in money market account balances, partially offset by an $8.6 million decrease in checking account balances and a $710,000 decrease in savings account balances. 

The increase in deposits when compared to December 31, 2022 is primarily due to a $99.6 million increase in money market account balances and an $89.1 million increase in certificate of deposit account balances, partially offset by a $29.7 million decrease in checking account balances and a $1.9 million decrease in savings account balances.

Noninterest-bearing deposit accounts totaled $214.3 million at September 30, 2023 and decreased $2.7 million from $217.0 million at June 30, 2023 and decreased $48.9 million from $263.2 million at December 31, 2022. At September 30, 2023, approximately 28.0% of our deposit balances exceeded the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000, as compared to approximately 28.8% at June 30, 2023 and 31.6% at December 31, 2022.

Borrowings

FHLB advances and other debt totaled $110.0 million at September 30, 2023 and at June 30, 2023 and increased $526,000 when compared to $109.5 million at December 31, 2022. The increase when compared to December 31, 2022 was due to a $4.0 million increase on the Company’s line of credit with a third party financial institution, partially offset by a $3.5 million decrease in FHLB advances. 

Capital

Stockholders’ equity totaled $151.3 million at September 30, 2023, an increase of $4.0 million, or 2.7%, from $147.3 million at June 30, 2023. Stockholders’ equity increased $12.1 million, or 8.6%, from $139.2 million at December 31, 2022. The increase in total stockholders’ equity during the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily attributed to net income, partially offset by $386,000 in dividend payments. The increase in total stockholders’ equity during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily attributed to net income, partially offset by $1.1 million in dividend payments and a $347,000 increase in other comprehensive loss. The other comprehensive loss was the result of the mark-to-market adjustment of our investment portfolio.
