  • Total assets increased 14.31% to $361.2 million from December 31, 2020;
  • Loan portfolio increased 12.61% to $267.9 million from December 31, 2020;

“Our continued efforts to drive top- and bottom-line performance resulted in substantial net income growth during the third quarter and for the year to date,” said Nicholas A. Frungillo, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank. “We continue to realize the benefits of our marketing and business development initiatives, increased focus on commercial real estate lending and our continued participation in the Paycheck Protection Program, through which we were able to help our customers maintain jobs in our Central New Jersey marketplace. As we look to the fourth quarter, we are confident our strategic initiatives will continue to drive growth and enhance value for shareholders.”

Financial Summary for the Nine Months ending September 30, 2021

At September 30, 2021, the Company had total assets of $361.2 million, an increase of $45.2 million or 14.31% over the December 31, 2020 total of $316.0 million. The growth was mainly driven by management’s previously implemented business development initiatives. Cash and due from banks was $29.6 million at September 30, 2021, an increase of $9.4 million or 46.90% over year-end due to quarter end fluctuations. The loan portfolio grew to $267.9 million at September 30, 2021, an increase of $30.0 million or 12.61% since December 31, 2020. Growth was primarily in loans secured by commercial real estate. The growth in the loan portfolio reflected loan originations of $52.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, partially offset by $10.9 million in PPP loan forgiveness and $15.3 million in early payoffs. Securities increased to $45.5 million, up $5.1 million, or 12.65%, from the $40.4 million balance at December 31, 2020, as the Bank used excess liquidity to purchase securities to increase its yield over the fed funds rate.

Deposits grew to $273.0 million at September 30, 2021, an increase of $40.8 million, or 17.57%, from December 31, 2020 as a result of management’s increased marketing efforts. The average rate paid on the deposit portfolio declined to 0.65% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from 1.42% for the comparable prior year period. FHLB borrowing increased by $5.0 million to $31.7 million at September 30, 2021 as the Bank locked in longer term borrowings at lower rates than retail deposits. The Bank also was able to enter the Federal Reserve Bank’s PPPLF program, which allows the Bank to fund its PPP loans at a cost of 35 basis points with maturities matching the maturity of the PPP loans securing the borrowing.

Stockholders’ equity increased by $283 thousand to $43.6 million due to earnings retention net of the change in other comprehensive income/losses and a one-time special dividend paid in February 2021. The Bank meets all criteria to be considered “Well Capitalized”.

The Bank’s Net Interest Margin was 3.51% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 3.48% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Bank’s cost of deposits decreased to 0.65% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from 1.42% for the comparative period in 2020. The Bank’s yield on interest earning assets decreased to 3.99% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from 4.54% for the same period last year.

Net interest income was $8.482 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $1.997 million, or 30.79%, from $6.485 million for the comparable period of 2020. Loan income grew to $9.282 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2021, an increase of $1.177 million, or 14.53%, from $8.105 million for the same period a year ago due to higher outstanding balances. Interest expense was $1.166 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of $753 thousand, or 39.23%, when compared to $1.919 million for the same period a year ago due to lower market rates more than offsetting the increase in deposits.

Total other income was $971 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $94 thousand, or 10.74%, over the same period a year ago. During the prior period, the Company realized $159 thousand in gains on securities as the Company repositioned its investment portfolio. The securities sold were replaced by similar securities with essentially the same effective duration and a nominally higher yield. Service fees on deposit accounts decreased by $26 thousand or 5.03% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, when compared to the same period a year ago due to reduced activity during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Total non-interest expenses were $6.202 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $271 thousand, or 4.57% over the same period a year ago. Salaries increased by $102 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period last year. Occupancy expenses declined to $470 thousand, a reduction of $153 thousand from the same period a year ago, as the Bank sold its George Street branch in the fourth quarter of 2020 and purchased its North Brunswick branch in May 2021. Other expenses grew by $327 thousand to $2.099 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 when compared to $1.771 million for the same period a year ago, as the Bank has expended approximately $250 thousand due to the proxy contest at its 2021 Annual Meeting.

The provision for loan losses was $310 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared $320 thousand for the same period a year ago. Management is actively monitoring the Bank’s loan portfolio in light of the continued economic uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic and may increase provisions for loan losses in the future.

Net income was $2.130 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $846 thousand, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago, an increase of $1.284 million or 151.84%. Income before income taxes and provision for loan losses was $3.252 million, an increase of $1.820 million, or 127.19%, over the same period a year ago.

Financial Summary for the Three Months ended September 30, 2021

Net interest income was $2.964 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $692 thousand, or 30.46%, from $2.272 million for the same period a year ago.

Interest expense was $380 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of $199 thousand, or 34.44% when compared to $579 thousand for the same period a year ago, primarily due to lower market rates more than offsetting the increase in deposits.

Total other income was $313 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $85 thousand or 36.97% when compared to $229 thousand for the same period a year ago.

Other expenses grew by $12 thousand to $635 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2021 when compared to $623 thousand for the same period last year primarily due to an increase of $29 thousand related to non-accrual loan expenses.

Provisions for loan losses were $54 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $150 thousand in the comparable year ago period. Management is actively monitoring the Bank’s loan portfolio in light of the continued economic uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic and may increase provisions for loan losses in the future.

Net income was $871 thousand, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $305 thousand, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago, an increase of $566 thousand or 185.55%.

Operations During COVID-19 Pandemic

As previously disclosed, branch lobbies are open following guidelines from the CDC and the State of New Jersey. In accordance with state and federal guidance, and to assist borrowers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bank granted payment deferrals to affected borrowers. We provided payment deferrals on 85 loans with $53.5 million in outstanding principal. Of these loans, only 5 loans, with $4.7 million in principal, are still in principal deferral and making interest only payments.
