Summit State Bank Reports Net Income of $1.8 Million for Third Quarter 2023; Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.12 Per Common Share

SANTA ROSA, Calif., Oct. 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Summit State Bank (Nasdaq: SSBI) today reported net income for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023 of $1,821,000, or $0.27 per diluted share, a decrease of $2,158,000, or 54.2%, compared to net income of $3,979,000, or $0.59 per diluted share for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022. Financial results for the quarter reflect strong non-interest income resulting from increased gain on sale of loans. Lower net interest income resulting from an increase in interest expense on deposits offset aforementioned increase in non-interest income.

The Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share on October 24, 2023. The quarterly dividend will be paid on November 16, 2023 to shareholders of record on November 9, 2023.

"Our third quarter operating results were highlighted by strong revenue generation and stable loan growth,” said Brian Reed, President and CEO. “We are encouraged that loan demand continues to hold up despite the higher rate environment and we continue to aggressively seek out core lending opportunities. Total deposits increased 19% compared to a year ago, and declined 2% during the quarter, with the growth occurring in interest bearing demand and money market accounts compared to the prior quarter end. While the net interest margin decrease was primarily related to pressure from the funding side of the balance sheet, we remain prudent with all new loan pricing. New customer relationships are fueling loan and deposit growth, and we expect that to continue as we grow the Bank organically.”

Operating Results

For the third quarter of 2023, the annualized return on average assets was 0.63% and the annualized return on average equity was 7.70%. This compared to an annualized return on average assets of 1.56% and an annualized return on average equity of 18.12%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2022.

Summit’s net interest margin was 2.80% in the third quarter of 2023, compared to 3.44% in the preceding quarter and 4.42% in the third quarter of 2022. “The unprecedented rise in funding costs that is affecting the entire banking industry impacted our net interest margin during the quarter,” said Reed. “The cost of deposits in the third quarter was 2.26% as the rapid rate increases have driven customers to shift to higher yielding deposit accounts. While we anticipate deposit pricing pressures and heavy competition in our markets to continue in the near term, we continue to benefit from repricing loans at higher rates.”

Interest and dividend income increased 19% to $14,931,000 in the third quarter of 2023 compared to $12,541,000 in the third quarter of 2022. The increase in interest income is attributable to a $998,000 increase in loan interest yield primarily driven by increased loan volume and secondarily by increased rates, $1,109,000 increase in interest on deposits with banks and $283,000 increase in investment interest.

Non-interest income increased in the third quarter of 2023 to $1,496,000 compared to $1,055,000 in the third quarter of 2022. The Bank recognized $1,046,000 in gains on sales of SBA and USDA guaranteed loan balances in the third quarter of 2023 compared to $578,000 in gains on sales of SBA guaranteed loans balances in the third quarter of 2022.

Operating expenses increased in the third quarter of 2023 to $6,926,000 compared to $5,533,000 in the third quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to a $182,000 increase in stock appreciation rights and restricted stock award expense, a $428,000 increase in salaries and commissions net of deferred fees and costs, $258,000 increase in employee benefit and health expenses, $207,000 increase in legal and other professional fees, $182,000 increase in equity award benefit accrual expenses, and a $111,000 increase in FDIC Insurance.

Balance Sheet Review

Net loans increased 4% to $932,199,000 at September 30, 2023 compared to $893,580,000 at September 30, 2022 and increased 1% compared to June 30, 2023.

Total deposits increased 19% to $1,030,836,000 at September 30, 2023 compared to $868,912,000 at September 30, 2022 and decreased 2% when compared to the prior quarter end. Most of the deposit growth year-over-year was due to the Bank’s ongoing focus on growing local deposits organically. At September 30, 2023, noninterest bearing demand deposit accounts decreased 17% compared to a year ago and represented 20% of total deposits; savings, NOW and money market accounts increased 23% compared to a year ago and represented 44% of total deposits, and CDs increased 49% compared to a year ago and comprised 36% of total deposits. The average cost of deposits was 2.63% in the third quarter of 2023, compared to 0.52% in the third quarter of 2022, and 2.26% in the second quarter of 2023.

Shareholders’ equity was $93,439,000 at September 30, 2023, compared to $94,435,000 three months earlier and $84,421,000 a year earlier. The increase in shareholders’ equity compared to a year ago was primarily due to an increase of $10,226,000 in retained earnings offset by the $1,452,000 increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss; this change was related to an increase in the unrealized loss on available for sale securities reflecting the increase in market interest rates during the year. At September 30, 2023, tangible book value was $13.77 per share, compared to $13.92 three months earlier, and $12.62 at September 30, 2022.

Summit State Bank continues to maintain capital levels in excess of the requirements to be categorized as “well-capitalized” with tangible equity to tangible assets of 8.24% at September 30, 2023, compared to 8.15% at June 30, 2023, and 8.59% at September 30, 2022. The decrease compared to September 2022 is due to the Bank’s assets outgrowing the retention of capital to build liquidity.

Credit Quality

Nonperforming assets were $35,267,000, or 3.09% of total assets, at September 30, 2023, and consisted of thirteen loans; two loans totaling $5,670,000 are real estate secured construction and land loans and eleven loans totaling $29,597,000 are commercial and agriculture secured loans. There were $21,941,000 of nonperforming assets that were individually assessed resulting in a corresponding reserve of $135,000. There were $3,947,000 in nonperforming assets at September 30, 2022.

Due to minimal projected change in expected losses, the Bank recorded a $5,000 reversal of net credit loss expense in the third quarter of 2023. This compared to $770,000 provision for net credit loss expense in the third quarter of 2022. The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.61% on September 30, 2023 and 1.57% on September 30, 2022.

“During challenging economic times, we remain focused on full customer relationships and new client outreach,” said Reed. “Our history of success as a community bank is rooted in the mission of providing exceptional service to our customers and meeting all of their financial needs.”
