    PRINCETON, N.J., April 25, 2024 /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, 2024. 

    (PRNewsfoto/The Bank of Princeton)

    President/CEO Edward Dietzler commented on the quarter results, "The Company continued its strong financial performance despite the industry's challenging interest rate environment. The Company continues to increase loan and deposit balances while maintaining robust liquidity and strong credit quality. The anticipated addition of Cornerstone Bank will add to the Company's central and southern New Jersey footprint by strengthening our existing valuable franchise spanning from New York to Philadelphia."

    HIGHLIGHTS

    • Announced the acquisition of Cornerstone Financial Corporation with total assets of over $300 million
    • Net loans for the quarter increased by $22.9 million, representing a 5.9% annualized growth rate
    • Total deposits for the quarter increased $69.9 million, representing a 17.1% annualized growth rate
    • Non-performing assets decreased to $2.1 million from $6.7 million at year end 2023

    The Company reported net income of $4.3 million, or $0.68 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2024, compared to net income of $5.3 million, or $0.82 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2023, and net income of $6.1 million, or $0.95 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in net income for the first quarter of 2024 when compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 was due a decrease of $562 thousand in net interest income, and an increase of $887 thousand in non-interest expense. These impacts to net income were partially offset by a decrease in provision for credit losses of $376 thousand and an increase in non-interest income of $206 thousand. The decrease in net income for the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to a decrease in net interest income of $1.2 million and an increase in non-interest expenses of $2.1 million, partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense of $835 thousand and an increase in non-interest income of $611 thousand.

    Balance Sheet Review

    Total assets were $1.99 billion on March 31, 2024, an increase of $71.5 million, or 3.73% when compared to $1.92 billion at the end of 2023. The primary reason for the increase in total assets was attributable to increases in available for sale securities of $26.7 million, an increase in net loans of $22.9 million, and an increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $21.5 million. The increase in the Company's net loans consisted of a $19.9 million increase in commercial real estate loans and a $10.8 million increase in construction loans, partially offset by decreases of $5.0 million in commercial and industrial loans, $1.5 million in residential mortgages and a decrease of $770 thousand in HELOC/consumer loans.

    Total deposits on March 31, 2024 increased $69.9 million, or 4.27%, when compared to December 31, 2023.Certificates of deposit increased $77.1 million, money market deposits increased $24.7 million, and savings deposits increased $2.9 million. Partially offsetting these increases were decreases in interest-bearing demand deposits of $32.6 million and non-interest-bearing deposits of $2.2 million.

    Total stockholders' equity on March 31, 2024 increased $1.6 million or 0.66% when compared to December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to the $2.4 million increase in retained earnings, consisting of $4.3 million in net income partially offset by $1.9 million of cash dividends recorded during the period. Additionally, stockholders' equity declined as a result of a stock buyback of 19,000 shares totaling $579 thousand. The ratio of equity to total assets at March 31, 2024 and at December 31, 2023 was 12.2% and 12.5%, respectively.

    Asset Quality

    At March 31, 2024, non-performing assets totaled $2.1 million, a decrease of $4.6 million when compared to the amount at December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily related to a $4.5 million commercial real estate loan which was sold during the first quarter of 2024.

    Review of Quarterly Financial Results

    Net interest income was $15.4 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $16.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 and $16.7 million for the first quarter of 2023. The decrease from the previous quarter was the result of an increase in interest expense of $1.1 million, or 9.3%, partially offset by an increase in interest income of $512 thousand, or 1.9%. The net interest margin for the first quarter of 2024 was 3.42%, decreasing 13 basis points when compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. This decrease was primarily associated with an increase of 25 basis points in the cost of funds, associated with an increase in the outstanding balance of certificate of deposits and money markets accounts which typically pay a higher interest rate. When comparing the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, net interest income decreased $1.2 million, which was primarily due to an increase of 184 basis points in the cost of funds, partially offset by an increase of 54 basis points in the yield earned on interest-earning assets.

    The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $186 thousand during the first quarter of 2024, which consisted of $302 thousand increase recorded to the allowance of credit losses and a reduction to the allowance of $116 thousand in unfunded commitments, which is reported in other liabilities on the Company's statement of condition.  The provision recorded on the statement of income was $376 thousand lower when compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2023, and was $79 thousand lower than the provision for the same period in 2023.  For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded charge-offs of $283 thousand and recoveries of $107 thousand. The coverage ratio of the allowance for credit losses to period end loans was 1.18% at March 31, 2024 and 1.19% at December 31, 2023.

    Total non-interest income of $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2024 increased $206 thousand or 11.6% when compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 and increased $611 thousand or 44.5% when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The increase from the fourth quarter of 2023 was primarily due to a $158 thousand increase in equity method investment income. The increase over the comparable prior year quarter was primarily due to an increase in loan fees of $373 thousand. The increase in non-interest income when comparing the first quarters of 2024 and 2023 can also be attributed to the acquisition of Noah Bank, which closed in May 2023.

    Total non-interest expense of $11.8 million for the first quarter of 2024 increased $887 thousand, or 8.1%, when compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, due primarily to increases in salaries and employee benefits of $486 thousand, occupancy and equipment expense of $180 thousand, $99 thousand in professional fees, $83 thousand in FDIC insurance expenses and $33 thousand in other operating expenses. Total non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2024 increased $2.1 million or 21.1% from the first quarter of 2023.  The increase was due primarily to increases in salaries and employee benefits and occupancy and equipment expenses of $1.1 million and $688 thousand, respectively, over the prior-year period which were associated with the Noah Bank acquisition in 2023.

    For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $1.1 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 19.7%, compared to an income tax expense of $1.0 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 15.9% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, and compared to an income tax expense of $1.9 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 23.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The effective tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2023 was lower than the current quarter's rate because of the non-taxable $9.9 million bargain purchase gain from the Noah bank acquisition.

    Forward-Looking Statements

    The Company may from time to time make written or oral "forward-looking statements," including statements contained in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in its reports to stockholders and in other communications by the Company (including this press release), which are made in good faith by the Company pursuant to the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

    These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of the Company's plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions that are subject to change based on various important factors (some of which are beyond the Company's control). The most significant factors that could cause future results to differ materially from those anticipated by our forward-looking statements include the ongoing impact of higher inflation levels, higher interest rates and general economic and recessionary concerns, all of which could impact economic growth and could cause a reduction in financial transactions and business activities, including decreased deposits and reduced loan originations, our ability to manage liquidity in a rapidly changing and unpredictable market, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and additional interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve. Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following factors: the integration of the businesses of the Company and Cornerstone following the completion of the Transaction may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; the ability to obtain required regulatory and shareholder approvals, and the ability to complete the Transaction on the expected timeframe may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; the global impact of the military conflicts in the Ukraine and the Middle East; the impact of any future pandemics or other natural disasters; civil unrest, rioting, acts or threats of terrorism, or actions taken by the local, state and Federal governments in response to such events, which could impact business and economic conditions in our market area; the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which the Company and Bank conduct operations; the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; market and monetary fluctuations; market volatility; the value of the Bank's products and services as perceived by actual and prospective customers, including the features, pricing and quality compared to competitors' products and services; the willingness of customers to substitute competitors' products and services for the Bank's products and services; credit risk associated with the Bank's lending activities; risks relating to the real estate market and the Bank's real estate collateral; the impact of changes in applicable laws and regulations and requirements arising out of our supervision by banking regulators; other regulatory requirements applicable to the Company and the Bank; and the timing and nature of the regulatory response to any applications filed by the Company and the Bank; technological changes; other acquisitions; changes in consumer spending and saving habits; those risks under the heading "Risk Factors" set forth in the Bank's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023,  and the success of the Company at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.

    The Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company, except as required by applicable law or regulation.
