"Our second quarter earnings were exceptional, and a direct result of the efforts we have put in place to manage our cost of funds, control operating expenses, and grow the balance sheet," stated Thomas Coughlin, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The highlights of the second quarter include substantial growth in the loan portfolio, increases to our core deposit base, and expansion of the net interest margin."

"Our approach to managing our funding costs, combined with the increase in loan volume during the quarter, helped to increase our net interest margin by 27 basis points in the second quarter of 2022, compared to the second quarter a year ago. We are well-positioned for rising interest rates with a strong, low-cost core deposit base and other diverse sources of liquidity to support the Bank's substantial loan pipeline," said Coughlin.

Mr. Coughlin stated, "Due to the continued, solid performance of our asset quality metrics, we recorded no loan loss provision during the second quarter of 2022. Our non-accrual loans to total loans ratio decreased to 0.35 percent at June 30, 2022, from 0.38 percent at March 31, 2022, and 0.94 percent a year ago."

Balance Sheet Review

Total assets increased by $105.2 million, or 3.5 percent, to $3.073 billion at June 30, 2022, from $2.968 billion at December 31, 2021. The increase in total assets was mainly related to increases in total loans partially offset by decreases in cash and cash equivalents.

Total cash and cash equivalents decreased by $205.4 million, or 49.9 percent, to $206.2 million at June 30, 2022, from $411.6 million at December 31, 2021. This decrease was primarily due to an increase in loans, partly offset by an increase in deposits.

Loans receivable, gross, increased by $313.9 million, or 13.4 percent, to $2.658 billion at June 30, 2022, from $2.344 billion at December 31, 2021. Total loan increases for the first six months of 2022 included increases of $310.5 million in commercial real estate and multi-family loans, $11.3 million in residential one-to-four family loans, $1.3 million in home equity loans, and $1.2 million in construction loans, partly offset by decreases of $9.3 million in commercial business loans, and $1.1 million in consumer loans. The allowance for loan losses decreased $3.0 million to $34.1 million, or 370.7 percent of non-accruing loans and 1.28 percent of gross loans, at June 30, 2022, as compared to an allowance for loan losses of $37.1 million, or 249.3 percent of non-accruing loans and 1.58 percent of gross loans, at December 31, 2021.

Total investment securities decreased by $4.7 million, or 4.2 percent, to $105.7 million at June 30, 2022, from $110.4 million at December 31, 2021, representing repayments, calls and maturities, and sales of $1.2 million, partly offset by purchases of $15.5 million.

Deposit liabilities increased by $93.6 million, or 3.7 percent, to $2.655 billion at June 30, 2022, from $2.561 billion at December 31, 2021. Total increases for the six months ended June 30, 2022, included $142.3 million in NOW deposit accounts, $23.2 million in money market checking accounts, $7.0 million in non-interest-bearing deposit accounts, and $17.5 million in savings and club accounts. The increase in deposits was partly offset by a decrease of $96.4 million in certificates of deposit, including listing service and brokered deposit accounts. The weighted average interest rate of certificates of deposit was 0.60 percent at June 30, 2022 and 0.72 percent at December 31, 2021.

Debt obligations increased by $15.4 million to $124.4 million at June 30, 2022, from $109.0 million at December 31, 2021, and consisted of both Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") borrowings and subordinated debt balances. The increase in debt obligations related to an overnight FHLB borrowing of $15.0 million. The weighted average interest rate of FHLB advances was 1.38 percent at June 30, 2022, and at December 31, 2021. The fixed interest rate of our subordinated debt balances was 5.625 percent at June 30, 2022, and at December 31, 2021.

Stockholders' equity decreased by $2.4 million, or 0.9 percent, to $271.6 million at June 30, 2022, from $274.0 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $12.4 million in additional paid-in-capital for preferred stock and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive losses of $4.1 million. The decrease was partly offset by an increase in retained earnings of $14.2 million, or 17.5 percent, to $95.4 million at June 30, 2022, from $81.2 million at December 31, 2021, related to the net effect of net income less dividends paid for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

The decrease in additional paid-in-capital for preferred stock was primarily related to the redemption of $9.4 million of the Company's then-outstanding Series D 4.5 percent preferred stock and $5.3 million of the Company's then-outstanding Series G 6.0 percent preferred stock, partially offset by the issuance of $2.4 million of Series I 3.0 percent preferred stock. Accumulated other comprehensive income decreased by $4.1 million over the prior year, based upon unfavorable market conditions related to the Company's available for sale debt securities.

Second Quarter 2022 Income Statement Review

Net interest income increased by $3.7 million, or 15.3 percent, to $27.7 million for the second quarter of 2022, from $24.1 million for the second quarter of 2021. The increase in net interest income resulted from a $2.5 million increase in interest income as well as a decrease of $1.2 million in interest expense.

Interest income increased by $2.5 million, or 8.8 percent, to $30.5 million for the second quarter of 2022, from $28.0 million for the second quarter of 2021. The average balance of interest-earning assets increased $196.7 million, or 7.1 percent, to $2.969 billion for the second quarter of 2022, from $2.772 billion for the second quarter of 2021, while the average yield increased six basis points to 4.10 percent for the second quarter of 2022, from 4.04 percent for the second quarter of 2021. The increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets mainly related to an increase in the Company's level of average loans receivable for the second quarter of 2022, as compared to the second quarter of 2021.

The increase in interest income mainly related to an increase in the average balance on loans receivable of $173.5 million to $2.517 billion for the second quarter of 2022, from $2.344 billion for the second quarter of 2021. The increase in the average balance on loans receivable was result of the strength of the Company's loan pipeline. Interest income on loans also included $152,000 of amortization of purchase credit fair value adjustments related to a prior acquisition for the second quarter of 2022, which added approximately two basis points to the average yield on interest earning assets.

Interest expense decreased by $1.2 million, or 31.0 percent, to $2.7 million for the second quarter of 2022, from $3.9 million for the second quarter of 2021. This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities of 24 basis points to 0.50 percent for the second quarter of 2022, from 0.74 percent for the second quarter of 2021, partly offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $44.4 million, or 2.1 percent, to $2.174 billion for the second quarter of 2022, from $2.129 billion for the second quarter of 2021. The decrease in the average cost of funds primarily resulted from the low interest rate environment and the Company's focus on managing funding costs.

Net interest margin was 3.74 percent for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 3.47 percent for the second quarter of 2021. The increase in the net interest margin was the result of an increase in the average volume on loans receivable as well as a decrease in funding costs.

Due to improved quantitative and qualitative factors related to the Company's asset quality metrics, no provision for loan losses was recorded for the second quarter of 2022. This compared to a $2.3 million provision for loan losses during the second quarter of 2021. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company experienced $133,000 in net recoveries compared to $300,000 in net charge offs for the second quarter of 2021. The Bank had non-accrual loans totaling $9.2 million, or 0.35 percent of gross loans at June 30, 2022, as compared to $22.2 million, or 0.94 percent of gross loans at June 30, 2021. The allowance for loan losses was $34.1 million, or 1.28 percent of gross loans at June 30, 2022, and $37.5 million, or 1.59 percent of gross loans at June 30, 2021.

Noninterest income decreased by $3.1 million, or 111.1 percent, to an expense of $313,000 for the second quarter of 2022, from $2.8 million for second quarter of 2021. The decrease in total noninterest income was mainly related to an increase in the unrealized loss of equity securities, a decrease in gains on the sale of premises, and a lower gain on sale of loans, partly offset by an increase in fees and service charges and other non-interest income. The unrealized loss on equity securities increased $2.8 million to $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2022, from an unrealized gain of $499,000 for the second quarter 2021. The unrealized gains or losses on equity securities are based on market conditions. Gains on the sale of premises sold were $371,000 for the second quarter of 2021 with no comparable gain or loss for the second quarter of 2022. Gains on sales of loans decreased by $175,000, or 80.3 percent, to $43,000 for the second quarter of 2022, from $218,000 for the second quarter of 2021. Factors considered when deciding to sell loans include market conditions, demand, and the loan portfolio. These decreases were partly offset by an increase in fees and service charge income resulting from servicing income, ATM, and other customer account fees.

Noninterest expense decreased by $101,000, or 0.8 percent, to $13.0 million for the second quarter of 2022, from $13.1 million for the second quarter of 2021.

The Company recognized an expense of $194,000 for a loss on extinguishment of debt related to the prepayment of higher-cost FHLB borrowings in the second quarter of 2021. There was no comparable expense in the second quarter of 2022. The decrease in other non-interest expense mainly related to a decrease in loan-related legal expenses.
