Second Quarter 2024 vs. First Quarter 2024

Net interest income increased $215 thousand, or 1.3%, primarily due to higher interest income on deposits in other banks and loans, coupled with lower interest expense on borrowings, but partially offset by higher interest expense on interest-bearing deposits. Net interest margin was 2.96%, a decrease of 10 basis points from 3.06%.

An $858 thousand increase in interest income on interest-bearing deposits in other banks was primarily due to a $62.9 million, or 86.2%, increase in average balance.

A $463 thousand increase in interest income on loans was primarily due to a $34.4 million, or 1.9%, increase in average balance.

A $439 thousand decrease in interest expense on borrowings was primarily due to a $31.4 million, or 28.9%, decrease in average balance.

A $1.7 million increase in interest expense on interest-bearing deposits was primarily due to a $119.3 million, or 9.0%, increase in average balance.

Second Quarter 2024 vs. Second Quarter 2023

Net interest income decreased $1.1 million, or 6.1%, primarily due to higher interest expense on interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by higher interest income on loans and deposits in other banks as our deposit costs repriced quicker than our interest-earning asset yields following the Federal Reserve's rate increases. Net interest margin was 2.96%, a decrease of 44 basis points from 3.40%.

A $5.4 million increase in interest expense on interest-bearing deposits was primarily due to a $239.8 million, or 20.0%, increase in average balance and a 86 basis point increase in average cost.

Second Quarter 2024 vs. First Quarter 2024

The Company recorded a $617 thousand provision for credit losses, an increase of $472 thousand, compared with a $145 thousand provision for credit losses. Provision for credit losses on loans of $627 thousand was partially offset by a $10 thousand reversal of credit losses on off-balance sheet exposure.

Provision for credit losses on loans of $627 thousand was primarily due to a $634 thousand increase in the qualitative reserve. The quantitative reserve was unchanged from the prior quarter. The increase in the qualitative reserve was primarily due to weakening economic and business conditions, increasing criticized loans, and declining collateral values for collateral dependent CRE loans.

Second Quarter 2024 vs. Second Quarter 2023

The Company recorded a $617 thousand provision for credit losses, an increase of $617 thousand, compared with no provision for credit losses.

As of June 30, 2024 vs. March 31, 2024

Total deposits were $1.94 billion as of June 30, 2024, up $45.4 million from March 31, 2024, primarily due to increases of $61.9 million in time deposits and $4.4 million in money market deposits, offset by a $20.9 million decrease in noninterest-bearing deposit. Noninterest-bearing deposits, as a percentage of total deposits, decreased to 26.7% from 28.5%. The composition shift to time deposits driven by customers' preference for high-rate deposit products continued but slowed to a lesser extent.

As of June 30, 2024 vs. June 30, 2023

Total deposits were $1.94 billion as of June 30, 2024, up $81.2 million from June 30, 2023, primarily driven by a $209.5 million increase in time deposits, offset by decreases of $116.3 million in noninterest-bearing deposits and $12.0 million in money market deposits. Noninterest-bearing deposits, as a percentage of total deposits, decreased to 26.7% from 34.1%. The composition shift to time deposits was primarily due to customers' preference for high-rate deposit products driven by market rate increases as a result of the Federal Reserve's rate increases.

Capital and Capital Ratios

On July 25, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share of its common stock. The cash dividend is payable on or about August 22, 2024 to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 8, 2024. The payment of the dividend is based primarily on dividends from the Bank to the Company, and future dividends will depend on the Board's assessment of the availability of capital levels to support the ongoing operating capital needs of both the Company and the Bank.

The Company also repurchased 224,321 shares of its common stock at an average price of $9.64 per share during the second quarter of 2024 under the stock repurchase program announced in August 2023.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain matters set forth herein constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including forward-looking statements relating to the Company's current business plans and expectations regarding future operating results. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those projected. These risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control, include, but are not limited to: the effects of substantial fluctuations in, and continuing elevated levels of, interest rates on our borrowers' ability to perform in accordance with the terms of their loans and on our deposit customers' expectation for higher rates on deposit products; cybersecurity risks, including the potential for the occurrence of successful cyberattacks and our ability to prevent and to mitigate the harms resulting from any such attacks; infrastructure risks and similar circumstances that affect our and our customers' ability to communicate and to engage in routine online banking activities; business and economic conditions, particularly those affecting the financial services industry and our primary market areas; risks of international conflict, terrorism, civil unrest and domestic instability; the continuing effects of inflation and monetary policies, particularly those relating to the decisions and indicators of intent expressed by the Federal Reserve Open Markets Committee, as those circumstances impact our operations and our current and prospective borrowers and depositors; our ability to balance deposit liabilities and liquidity sources (including our ability to reprice those instruments and balancing our borrowings and investments to keep pace with changing market conditions) so as to meet current and expected withdrawals while promoting strong earning capacity; our ability to manage our credit risk successfully and to assess, adjust and monitor the sufficiency of our allowance for credit losses; factors that can impact the performance of our loan portfolio, including real estate values and liquidity in our primary market areas, the financial health of our commercial borrowers, the success of construction projects that we finance, including any loans acquired in acquisition transactions; the impacts of credit quality on our earnings and the related effects of increases to the reserve on our net income; our ability effectively to execute our strategic plan and manage our growth; interest rate fluctuations, which could have an adverse effect on our profitability; external economic and/or market factors, such as changes in monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including inflation or deflation, changes in the demand for loans, and fluctuations in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits, which may have an adverse impact on our financial condition; continued or increasing competition from other banks and from credit unions and non-bank financial services companies, many of which are subject to less restrictive or less costly regulations than we are; challenges arising from unsuccessful attempts to expand into new geographic markets, products, or services; practical and regulatory constraints on the ability of Open Bank to pay dividends to us; increased capital requirements imposed by banking regulators, which may require us to raise capital at a time when capital is not available on favorable terms or at all; a failure in the internal controls we have implemented to address the risks inherent to the business of banking; including internal controls that affect the reliability of our publicly reported financial statements; inaccuracies in our assumptions about future events, which could result in material differences between our financial projections and actual financial performance, particularly with respect to the effects of predictions of future economic conditions as those circumstances affect our estimates for the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses and the related provision expense; changes in our management personnel or our inability to retain motivate and hire qualified management personnel; disruptions, security breaches, or other adverse events, failures or interruptions in, or attacks on, our information technology systems; disruptions, security breaches, or other adverse events affecting the third-party vendors who perform several of our critical processing functions; an inability to keep pace with the rate of technological advances due to a lack of resources to invest in new technologies; risks related to potential acquisitions; political developments, uncertainties or instability, catastrophic events, or natural disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, drought, pandemic diseases (such as the coronavirus) or extreme weather events, any of which may affect services we use or affect our customers, employees or third parties with which we conduct business; incremental costs and obligations associated with operating as a public company; the impact of any claims or legal actions to which we may be subject, including any effect on our reputation; compliance with governmental and regulatory requirements, including the Dodd-Frank Act and others relating to banking, consumer protection, securities and tax matters, and our ability to maintain licenses required in connection with commercial mortgage origination, sale and servicing operations; changes in federal tax law or policy; and our ability the manage the foregoing and other factors set forth in the Company's public reports. We describe these and other risks that could affect our results in Item 1A.
