  • The provision for credit losses was $2.3 million, a decrease of $0.6 million from the second quarter 2023.

  • Noninterest income of $6.3 million decreased $0.4 million compared to $6.7 million for the second quarter 2023. Credit card fees decreased $0.3 million partially due to interchange fees from lower customer purchases as the number of open customer accounts decreased quarter over quarter.

The $6.0 million in net charge-offs during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was comprised primarily of credit card portfolio net charge-offs with $4.1 million related to secured and partially secured cards while $1.0 million was related to unsecured cards.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, noninterest income of $19.0 million decreased $4.8 million, or 20.0%, from the same period in 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by the decline in credit card fees of $4.4 million as the number of open customer accounts declined to 529,205 at September 30, 2023 from 576,844 year over year, which resulted in lower interchange and other fee income recognized compared to the prior year. The elevated interest rate environment continues to put pressure on the mortgage market, resulting in declines in home loan sales and home loan refinances, which has resulted in a $0.6 million decrease in mortgage banking revenue compared to the prior year.

The efficiency ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was 66.73% compared to 63.75% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, noninterest expense of $83.9 million increased $1.5 million, or 1.8%, from the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily driven by a $6.0 million, or 19.2%, increase in salaries and employee benefits, partially offset by a $3.2 million, or 13.9%, decrease in data processing expense and a $1.2 million decrease in professional fees due to a reduction in third party consulting fees. The decrease in data processing expense was the result of a contract renegotiation entered into in the first quarter 2022 in the OpenSky® Division as well as fewer average open cards during the period.

Financial Condition

Total assets at September 30, 2023 were $2.3 billion, an increase of $44.6 million, or 2.0%, from the balance at June 30, 2023 and an increase of $263.1 million, or 13.1%, from the balance at September 30, 2022. Net portfolio loans, which exclude mortgage loans held for sale and SBA-PPP loans, totaled $1.9 billion at September 30, 2023, an increase of $24.9 million, up 1.4% or 5.4% annualized, compared to June 30, 2023, and an increase of $213.9 million, or 13.0%, compared to $1.6 billion at September 30, 2022.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $6.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which increased the allowance for credit losses to $28.3 million, or 1.52% of total loans at September 30, 2023, representing an increase of $0.8 million or 2.9%, from the balance at June 30, 2023. Nonperforming assets, which were comprised solely of nonperforming loans as of September 30, 2023, were $15.2 million, or 0.67% of total assets, down from $15.7 million, or 0.71% of total assets at June 30, 2023 and up from $8.6 million, or 0.43% of total assets at September 30, 2022. Included in nonperforming assets is a single $8.2 million, multi-unit residential real estate loan that was downgraded in the first quarter of 2023.

Deposits were $2.0 billion at September 30, 2023, an increase of $33.6 million, or 1.7%, from the balance at June 30, 2023 and an increase of $230.4 million, or 13.3%, from the balance at September 30, 2022. Average deposits of $1.9 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2023, increased $37.1 million, or 2.0%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. Rising interest rates have resulted in some customers moving balances from noninterest-bearing deposit accounts to interest-bearing deposit accounts. As a result of the migration, average noninterest-bearing deposit balances decreased $135.5 million to $666.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. These deposits represented 34.6% of total deposits at September 30, 2023 compared to 46.4% at September 30, 2022. Uninsured deposits were approximately $857.7 million as of September 30, 2023, representing 43.6% of the Company's deposit portfolio, compared to $860.4 million, or 44.5%, at June 30, 2023, and $960.2 million, or 55.3%, at September 30, 2022.

Stockholders’ equity increased to $242.9 million as of September 30, 2023, compared to $237.4 million at June 30, 2023 and $214.0 million at September 30, 2022. Shares repurchased and retired through September 30, 2023 as part of the Company's stock repurchase program totaled 385,919 shares at an average price of $18.12, for a total cost of $7.0 million including commissions. As of September 30, 2023, the Bank's capital ratios continued to exceed the regulatory requirements for a “well-capitalized” institution.

Appendix

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

The Company has presented the following non-GAAP (U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measures because it believes that these measures provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. Presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is consistent with how the Company evaluates its performance internally and these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the Company’s industry. Investors should recognize that the Company’s presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures might not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures and the Company strongly encourages a review of its condensed consolidated financial statements in their entirety.

Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements.  Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance and that actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors.
