PRINCETON, N.J., April 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Princeton Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ: BPRN), the bank holding company for The Bank of Princeton (the "Bank"), today reported its unaudited financial condition and results of operations at and for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The Company reported net income of $6.1 million, or $0.95 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2023, compared to net income of $7.2 million, or $1.13 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2022, and net income of $6.0 million, or $0.91 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2022. The decrease in net income for the first quarter of 2023, when compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, was primarily due to a decrease of $1.6 million in net interest income and a $101 thousand increase in non-interest expenses, partially offset by a $377 thousand increase in non-interest income and a $300 thousand decrease in income tax expense. Although net income for the first quarter of 2023 was only slightly higher than the net income for same period in 2022, net interest income was $807 thousand above the first quarter of 2022 and non-interest income was also higher by $328 thousand. Increases of $504 thousand in non-interest expense and $265 thousand in the provision for credit losses almost entirely offset the increases in income from the first quarter of 2022 to the same period in 2023.

Highlights for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 are as follows:

The Bank formed a holding company, Princeton Bancorp, Inc., effective January 10, 2023.
The Company realized a 5.2% annualized growth rate in its loan portfolio during the first quarter of 2023.
Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2023 was $0.95 or $0.04 higher compared to the same period in 2022.
The Bank improved its net interest margin by 50 basis points for the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022.

President/CEO Edward Dietzler noted that, "Today we are announcing another strong earnings performance for Princeton Bancorp. For the quarter we realized $6.1 million with an annualized ROA of 1.56%. The Bank's long-standing commitment to risk management and conservative balance sheet has the Bank well positioned for the future."

Balance Sheet Review

Total assets were $1.59 billion at March 31, 2023, a decrease of $16.5 million, or 1.0% when compared to $1.60 billion at the end of 2022. The primary reason for the decrease in total assets was a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $35.3 million, partially offset by an increase of $18.2 million in net loans. The increase in net loans consisted of a $25.2 million increase in construction loans and a $2.1 million increase in commercial and industrial loans, partially offset by a decrease of $9.1 million in commercial real estate loans.

Total deposits at March 31, 2023 decreased $55.6 million, or 4.1%, when compared to December 31, 2022. When comparing deposit products between the two periods, non-interest-bearing demand deposits decreased $46.4 million, interest-bearing demand deposits decreased $24.8 million, money market deposits decreased $19.8 million and savings deposits decreased $17.2 million. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in certificates of deposit of $52.5 million. In addition, borrowings increased $34.5 million from $10.0 million at December 31, 2022 to $44.5 million at March 31, 2023.

Total stockholders' equity at March 31, 2023 increased $5.7 million or 2.6% when compared to the end of 2022. The increase was primarily due to the $3.9 million increase in retained earnings, consisting of $6.1 million in income less $1.9 million of cash dividends recorded during the period, and a $1.2 million reduction in the accumulated other comprehensive loss on the available-for-sale investment portfolio. The ratio of equity to total assets at March 31, 2023 and at December 31, 2022, was 14.2% and 13.7%, respectively.

Asset Quality

At March 31, 2023, non-performing assets totaled $6.5 million, an increase of $6.2 million, when compared to the amount at December 31, 2022. This increase was due to the delinquency of a $6.2 million commercial real estate loan. The loan is sufficiently secured by a mixed-use property comprising two buildings each with retail units and residential apartments. The property is located in New York City.

Upon the adoption of the Current Expected Credit Losses ("CECL") method of calculating the allowance for credit losses effective January 1, 2023, performing troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") are no longer reported for the current period. At December 31, 2022 there were three loans classified as TDR loans totaling $5.9 million and each of these loans was performing in accordance with the agreed-upon terms.

Review of Quarterly Financial Results

Net interest income was $16.7 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $18.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and $15.9 million for the first quarter of 2022. The decrease from the previous quarter was the result of an increase in interest expense of $1.7 million, or 78.6%, partially offset by an increase in interest income of $154 thousand. The net interest margin for the first quarter 2023 was 4.59%, decreasing 23 basis points when compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. This decrease was primarily associated with an increase of 54 basis points in the cost of funds associated with rising interest rates. When comparing the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, net interest income increased $807 thousand, which was primarily due to an increase of 126 basis points in the yield earned on interest-earning assets, partially offset by an increase of 84 basis points in the cost of funds.

The Bank recorded a provision for credit losses of $265 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $200 thousand during the fourth quarter of 2022. The Bank recorded no provision for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Net recoveries for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were $3 thousand and $34 thousand, respectively. Net charge-offs for the three months ended December 31, 2022 were $406 thousand. Upon adoption of the CECL method of calculating the allowance for credit losses on January 1, 2023, the Bank recorded a one-time decrease, net of tax, in retained earnings of $284 thousand, a reduction to the allowance for credit losses of $301 thousand and an increase in the reserve for unfunded liabilities of $695 thousand. During the first quarter of 2023, the Bank recorded a provision for credit losses of $265 thousand and increased the reserve for unfunded liabilities in the amount of $79 thousand. The coverage ratio of allowance for credit losses to period end loans was 1.19% at March 31, 2023, compared to 1.20% at December 31, 2022.

Total non-interest income of $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2023 increased $377 thousand and $328 thousand, or by 37.8% and 31.4%, when compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 and the quarter ended March 31, 2022, respectively. The increase over the prior quarter was primarily due to a $241 thousand increase in valuation of an SBIC investment and a $115 thousand increase in loan fees. The increase over the first quarter of 2022 period was primarily due to a $256 thousand increase in loan fees and a $91 thousand increase in other non-interest income.

Total non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2023 increased $504 thousand, or 5.4%, when compared to the same period in 2022. This increase was primarily due to a $498 thousand increase in salaries and benefits expenses and a $265 thousand increase in data processing and communications expenses, partially offset by decreases in occupancy and equipment expenses of $137 thousand, professional fees of $96 thousand and federal deposit insurance expense of $74 thousand. When comparing the quarter ended March 31, 2023 to the immediately preceding quarter, non-interest expense increased $101 thousand, or 1.0%, primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits costs and other non-interest expenses, partially offset by decreases in professional fees, occupancy and equipment expenses and data processing and communications expenses.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, the Bank recorded an income tax expense of $1.9 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 23.8%, compared to an income tax expense of $2.2 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 23.5% for the three-month period ended December 31, 2022, and compared to an income tax expense of $1.6 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 21.1% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022.
