WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Nov. 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —
The basic and diluted earnings per common share in the first paragraph should read $0.19 and $0.55
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.
NorthEast Community Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: NECB) (the “Company”), the parent holding company of NorthEast Community Bank (the “Bank”), has determined that the basic and diluted earnings per common share amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were incorrectly reported as $0.26 and $0.74, respectively, in the first paragraph of the earnings release that it issued on October 29, 2021. The corrected basic and diluted earnings per common share amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, which were disclosed correctly in the financial tables included in the earnings release, were $0.19 and $0.55, respectively. The basic and diluted earnings per common share amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were reported incorrectly in the first paragraph of the earnings release because the underlying number of outstanding shares of Company common stock had not been restated to give retroactive recognition to the 1.3400 exchange ratio applied in the Company’s second-step conversion offering.
The corrected release reads in its entirety as follows:
NORTHEAST COMMUNITY BANCORP, INC. REPORTS RESULTS
FOR THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021
NorthEast Community Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: NECB) (the “Company”), the parent holding company of NorthEast Community Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income of $730,000 and $7.7 million, or $0.05 and $0.48 per basic and diluted common share, for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to net income of $3.1 million and $8.9 million, or $0.26 and $0.74 per basic and diluted common share, for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.
Kenneth A. Martinek, NorthEast Community Bancorp’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, stated “Although we generated net income of $730,000 for the quarter, we are pleased to report that the performance of our loan portfolio remains strong with no loans past due and in foreclosure at September 30, 2021. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, loan demand remained strong with originations and outstanding commitments increasing quarter over quarter. Our commitments, loans-in-process, and standby letters of credit outstanding totaled $779.1 million as of September 30, 2021. At this time, we have two loans on deferral as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, both with conservative loan to value ratios. As has been in the past, construction lending for affordable housing units in homogeneous high demand high absorption areas continues to be our focus.”
Highlights for the three and nine months ended and at September 30, 2021 are as follows:
Balance Sheet
Total assets increased by $139.8 million, or 14.4%, to $1.1 billion at September 30, 2021, from $968.2 million at December 31, 2020. The increase in assets was primarily due to increases in net loans of $84.8 million, cash and cash equivalents of $38.8 million, investment securities held-to-maturity of?$6.0 million, premises and equipment of $4.9 million, and investment in equity securities of $4.8 million.
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $38.8 million, or 56.1%, to $108.0 million at September 30, 2021 from $69.2 million at December 31, 2020. The increase in cash can primarily be attributed to an increase in deposits of $45.1 million and an increase in stockholders’ equity primarily due to the completion of the second-step conversion offering that increased stockholders’ equity by $88.4 million, net of conversion costs, partially offset by an increase in loans of $84.8 million, an increase in investment securities held-to-maturity of $6.0 million, an increase in equity securities of $4.8 million, an increase in property and equipment of $4.9 million due primarily to the purchase of property for a new branch office, and cash dividends of $1.3 million.
Equity securities increased by $4.8 million, or 46.3%, to $15.1 million at September 30, 2021 from $10.3 million at December 31, 2020. The increase in equity securities was primarily attributed to the purchase of equity securities totaling $5.0 million, partially offset by market depreciation of $215,000.
Securities held-to-maturity increased by $6.0 million, or 81.8%, to $13.4 million at September 30, 2021 from $7.4 million at December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the purchase of investment securities totaling $10.3 million, partially offset by maturities and pay-downs of $4.3 million.
Loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, increased by $84.8 million, or 10.3%, to $904.6 million at September 30, 2021 from $819.7 million at December 31, 2020. The increase in loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, was primarily due to a net increase in construction loans of $87.5 million, commercial and industrial loans of?$13.2 million, and multi-family loans of?$612,000. The increases were partially offset by decreases in non-residential loans of $8.6 million, mixed-use loans of $6.1 million, and one- to four-family loans of $1.4 million, coupled with normal pay-downs and principal reductions.
Premises and equipment increased by $4.9 million, or 26.1%, to $23.5 million at September 30, 2021 from $18.7 million at December 31, 2020 due to the acquisition of property for a new branch site located in Monsey, New York.
Foreclosed real estate was $2.0 million at both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Right of use assets?—?operating, recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 842 “Leases”, decreased by $397,000, or 12.8%, to $2.7 million at September 30, 2021 from $3.1 million at December 31, 2020, primarily due to amortization.
Other assets increased by $286,000, or 5.7%, to $5.3 million at September 30, 2021 from $5.1 million at December 31, 2020 due to an increase in tax assets of $347,000 and an increase in prepaid expense of $233,000, partially offset by a decrease in suspense accounts of $351,000.
Total deposits increased by $45.1 million, or 5.8%, to $816.8 million at September 30, 2021, from $771.7 million at December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in non-interest bearing demand deposits of?$85.3 million, or 38.5%, and an increase in NOW/money market accounts of $17.1 million, or 17.0%, from December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2021. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in certificates of deposit of $53.2 million, or 15.3%, and a decrease in savings account balances of $4.1 million, or 4.0%, from December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2021.
Federal Home Loan Bank advances were $28.0 million at both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $232,000, or 2.6%, to $9.1 million at September 30, 2021 from $8.8 million at December 31, 2020 due primarily to an increase in deferred compensation of $439,000, partially offset by a decrease in accrued expenses of $177,000.
Stockholders’ equity increased by $94.9 million, or 61.7% to $248.7 million at September 30, 2021, from $153.8 million at December 31, 2020. The increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily a result of the completion of the second-step conversion offering that increased stockholders’ equity by $88.4 million, net of conversion costs. The second-step conversion also reduced stockholders’ equity by the addition of new unearned employee stock ownership plan shares totaling $7.8 million and increased stockholders’ equity by the retirement of treasury shares totaling $7.0 million.
The increase in stockholders’ equity was also due to net income of?$7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and a reduction of?$693,000 in unearned employee stock ownership plan shares, partially offset by dividends paid of?$1.3 million and $8,000 in other comprehensive loss.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income totaled $10.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to $9.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in net interest income of $1.1 million, or 11.3%, was primarily due to an increase in interest income combined with a decrease in interest expense.
The increase in interest income is attributed to increases in loans, investment securities, equity securities, and interest-bearing deposits as we continued to deploy the proceeds raised in the second-step conversion. The decrease in interest expense is consistent with the decrease in interest rates in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the economy and interest rate environment.
In this regard, interest and dividend income increased by $93,000, or 0.8%, to $12.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from $12.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 due to an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets of $136.1 million, or 15.3%, to $1.0 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from $888.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, partially offset by a decrease in the yield on interest earning assets by 68 basis points from 5.40% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 to 4.72% for the three months ended September 30, 2021.
Interest expense decreased by $1.0 million, or 46.1%, to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 due to a decrease in average interest bearing liabilities of? $50.6 million, or 8.5%, to $547.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from $598.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and a decrease in the cost of interest bearing liabilities by 61 basis points from 1.47% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 to 0.86% for the three months ended September 30, 2021.
Net interest margin decreased by 15 basis points, or 3.4%, during the three months ended September 30, 2021 to 4.26% compared to 4.41% during the three months ended September 30, 2020.
Net interest income totaled $31.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to $28.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in net interest income of $2.9 million, or 10.0%, was primarily due to the decrease in interest expense that exceeded a decrease in interest income.
In a manner consistent with the decrease in interest rates in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, our cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased much greater than our yield on interest earning assets as our interest bearing liabilities repriced much faster to lower rates than our yield on interest earning assets. In this regard, our cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased by 85 basis points from 1.78% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 0.93% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Our yield on interest earning assets decreased by 65 basis points from 5.64% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 4.99% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Net interest margin increased by 5 basis points, or 1.1%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to 4.44% compared to 4.39% during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Provision for Loan Losses
The Company recorded a loan loss provision of $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to a loan loss provision of $229,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. We charged-off a total of $3.6 million and $7,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively.
The provision recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily attributed to the previously disclosed charge-off of $3.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 regarding a non-residential bridge loan secured by real estate with a balance of $3.6 million. The loan is secured by commercial real estate located in Greenwich, Connecticut and guaranteed by the two borrowers. The loan was originated in 2016 as a two-year bridge loan and, upon the borrower’s failure to satisfy the loan at the maturity date, the loan was accelerated and a foreclosure action was instituted. The loan remains in foreclosure but is subject to Connecticut’s continuing foreclosure backlog. The property securing the loan is subject to a parking easement and based on a recently updated appraisal showing the property’s value with the parking easement to be zero, the Company has determined to write off the $3.6 million loan as a non-cash charge against the allowance for loan losses.
The Company intends to aggressively seek recovery of all amounts due from the personal guarantors of the loan. However, the recovery process is uncertain and might take an extended period of time to resolve this matter. In the event the Company is successful against the guarantors, any recovery received would be added back to the allowance for loan losses and an analysis will be performed at that time to determine the appropriateness of the recovery into income.
We also charged-off $3,000 and $7,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively, against various unpaid overdrafts in our demand deposit accounts. We recorded recoveries of?$151,000 and $1,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively.
The Company recorded a loan loss provision of $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to a loan loss provision of $762,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
The provision recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily attributed to the charge-off of the aforementioned non-residential bridge loan with a balance of $3.6 million secured by commercial real estate located in Greenwich, Connecticut.
The provision recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily attributed to the perceived potential credit risk associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, although no specific or probable losses were identified at that time. Although the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting recession has impacted the local economy, we have not experienced any significant deterioration of our borrowers’ ability to keep current in accordance with the terms of their obligations.
We also charged-off $23,000 and $10,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively, against various unpaid overdrafts in our demand deposit accounts. We recorded recoveries of?$160,000 and $25,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $532,000 compared to non-interest income of $527,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in total non-interest income was primarily due to an increase of $130,000 in other loan fees and service charges, an increase of $27,000 in investment advisory fees, and a net loss of $2,000 on the sale of fixed assets that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to none during the three months ended September 30, 2021. These increases were partially offset by unrealized loss on equity securities of $154,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to none during the three months ended September 30, 2020.
Non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $1.8 million compared to non-interest income of $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in total non-interest income was primarily due to an unrealized loss of $215,000 in our equity securities in the 2021 period compared to an unrealized gain of $299,000 in the comparable period in 2020, a decrease of $120,000 in other non-interest income, and a decrease of $10,000 in bank owned life insurance income. These were partially offset by an increase of $374,000 in other loan fees and service charges, an increase of $63,000 in investment advisory fees, and a net gain of $7,000 on the sale of fixed assets in the 2021 period compared to a net loss of $2,000 on the sale of fixed assets in the 2020 period.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense increased by $839,000, or 13.9%, to $6.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase resulted primarily from increases of $889,000 in salaries and employee benefits, $37,000 in equipment expense, $15,000 in other operating expense, $9,000 in advertising expense, and $9,000 in occupancy expense, partially offset by decreases of $54,000 in outside data processing expense, $50,000 in impairment loss on goodwill, and $16,000 in real estate owned expense.
Non-interest expense increased by $1.3 million, or 7.3%, to $19.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $18.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase resulted primarily from increases of $1.2 million in salaries and employee benefits, $210,000 in other operating expense, $114,000 in equipment expense, and $98,000 in occupancy expense, partially offset by decreases of $90,000 in real estate owned expense, $80,000 in outside data processing expense, $61,000 in advertising expense, and $50,000 in impairment loss on goodwill.
Income Taxes
We recorded income tax expense of?$265,000 and $956,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had approximately $185,000 in tax exempt income, compared to approximately $166,000 in tax exempt income for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Our effective income tax rates were 26.6% and 23.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
We recorded income tax expense of?$2.4 million and $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had approximately $522,000 in tax exempt income, compared to approximately $337,000 in tax exempt income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Our effective income tax rates were 23.6% and 23.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Asset Quality
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, non-performing assets decreased by $3.6 million, or 64.2%, to $2.0 million from $5.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The decrease in non-performing assets was primarily due to the previously disclosed charge-off of $3.6 million on a non-accrual, non-residential bridge loan during 2021. We had no non-performing loans at September 30, 2021 compared to one non-performing loan at December 31, 2020. Our ratio of non-performing assets to total assets remained low at 0.18% as of September 30, 2021 compared to 0.58% as of December 31, 2020.
Based on a review of the loans that were in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2021, management believes that the allowance is maintained at a level that represents its best estimate of inherent losses in the loan portfolio that were both probable and reasonably estimable.
Our allowance for loan losses totaled $5.2 million, or 0.58% of total loans as of September 30, 2021, compared to $5.1 million, or 0.62% of total loans as of December 31, 2020.
Capital
The Bank’s capital position remains strong relative to current regulatory requirements and is considered a well-capitalized institution under the Prompt Corrective Action framework. As of September 30, 2021, the Bank had a tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 17.07% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 15.91%. The Company’s total stockholder’s equity to assets was 22.45% as of September 30, 2021. At September 30, 2021, the Company had the ability to borrow $39.0 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York.
