ESSA Bancorp, Inc. Announces Fiscal 2021 Third Quarter,
Nine Months Ended June 30, 2021 Financial Results
Stroudsburg, PA. – July 28, 2021 — ESSA Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ:ESSA), the holding company for ESSA Bank & Trust (the “Bank”), a $1.8 billion asset financial institution providing full service commercial and retail banking, financial, and investment services in eastern Pennsylvania, today announced financial results for the fiscal third quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2021.
Net income was $4.0 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, up 6.6% compared with $3.8 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Net income increased 18.0% to $12.5 million, or $1.25 per diluted share, for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, compared with $10.6 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, for the nine months ended June 30, 2020.
Gary S. Olson, President and CEO, commented: “The Company’s financial performance in the quarter and nine months reflected continued operating efficiency, improving asset quality, balance sheet management and margin improvement that supported year-over-year earnings growth. Strong financial performance was reflected in measures of shareholder value, including increased stockholders’ equity, higher retained earnings and significant growth in tangible book value since the beginning of fiscal 2021.”
“We continued our focus on improving net income by carefully managing expenses and maintaining credit quality. Lowering the Company’s liability costs, including reducing quarterly interest expense by 65.8% year-over-year, contributed to meaningful net interest margin and interest rate spread improvement in the third quarter and nine months of 2021 compared with a year earlier.
“We have been very encouraged by the continued strength and quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, which supported a lower loan loss provision in the third quarter of 2021 compared with the third quarter of 2020. Based on current asset quality trends, we will continue to assess the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.”
“Commercial real estate (CRE) activity has been a positive as we’ve added new customer relationships and have grown the CRE portfolio. Construction lending continued to reflect homebuilding activity. We continue to look for opportunities to reduce our retained residential mortgage portfolio. Residential mortgage originations, which have been a strong driver of noninterest income through gains on the sale of originated loans to the secondary market, have enabled us to participate in the residential housing market without retaining long-term, lower-interest loans.”
“Commercial loans declined, reflecting continued paydowns of lines of credit as customers used cash reserves for operations. The commercial loan portfolio also reflected ongoing forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans, which added to the decline in commercial loan totals. ”
“We are encouraged by the progress made throughout our served communities to emerge from the pandemic. In light of the economic uncertainties and potential health risks still present, the Company continues to monitor and manage risks associated with the pandemic. We plan to continue to operate in a safe environment which includes allowing staff to work on site and remotely while maintaining the same standards of quality our customers expect.”
FISCAL THIRD QUARTER, NINE MONTHS 2021 HIGHLIGHTS
| • | Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased to $12.6 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared with $10.9 million a year earlier, primarily reflecting stable interest income from loans, the positive impact of sharply reduced interest expense and a lower provision for loan losses. For the nine months ended June 30, 2021, net interest income after provision for loan losses rose to $36.7 million from $33.6 million in the comparable period of 2020. |
| • | Quarterly interest expense declined to $1.3 million from $3.7 million a year earlier, reflecting repriced deposits in a low interest rate environment, reduced higher-cost borrowings, and balance sheet management. The Company’s cost of funds declined to 0.36% in the fiscal third quarter of 2021 from 0.94% a year earlier. For the nine months ended June 30, 2021, interest expense declined to $4.9 million from $13.0 million in the comparable period of 2020. |

For the nine months of 2021, the net interest margin was 2.89% compared with 2.69% for the comparable period of fiscal 2020, and the net interest rate spread increased to 2.79% compared with 2.49% for the nine months of fiscal 2020. |
| • | Noninterest income was $2.3 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared with $2.9 million a year earlier, primarily reflecting decreases in the sale of residential mortgages to the secondary market and commercial loan swap fees. Mortgage originations remained strong but slowed compared with the exceptional activity a year earlier.

| • | Total net loans at June 30, 2021 were $1.37 billion compared with $1.42 billion at September 30, 2020, primarily reflecting commercial real estate growth offset by sales of $52.6 million of residential mortgage loans earlier in the fiscal year, $32.6 million in forgiveness of PPP loans and $21.0 million of continuing roll-off of indirect auto loans being phased out. |
| • | Lending activity was highlighted by year-to-date growth of 13.5% in commercial real estate loans to $578.5 million at June 30, 2021 from $509.6 million at September 30, 2020. |
| • | Total deposits increased to $1.59 billion at June 30, 2021 from $1.54 billion at September 30, 2020, reflecting a reduction in time deposits and growth in lower-cost core deposits (demand accounts, savings and money market), which comprised 84.8% of total deposits at June 30, 2021. The increase reflected increased commercial customer deposits, including PPP and stimulus funds not deployed, and retail demand deposits. |
| • | The Bank continued to demonstrate financial strength with a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.42% at June 30, 2021, exceeding regulatory standards for a well-capitalized institution. |
| • | Total stockholders’ equity increased to $199.3 million at June 30, 2021 compared with $191.4 million at September 30, 2020 and tangible book value per share at June 30, 2021 increased to $17.49, compared with $16.26 at September 30, 2020. As it has consistently done for several years, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders. |
Fiscal Third Quarter, Nine Months 2021 Income Statement Review
Total interest income was $14.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared with $15.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 reflecting a decline in interest rates and a decrease in the total yield on average interest earning assets from 3.36% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 to 3.19% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. A decline of $82.5 million in average interest earning assets also contributed to the decline in interest income. Interest income attributable to forgiven PPP loans amounted to $460,000 for the 2021 quarter compared to $190,000 for the 2020 quarter.
Total interest income was $44.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared with $48.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 reflecting a decline in interest rates and a decrease in the total yield on average interest earning assets from 3.67% for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 to 3.25% for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. An increase of $32.6 million in average interest earning assets helped to partially offset the decline in interest income. Interest income attributable to forgiven PPP loans amounted to $1.8 million for the 2021 period compared to $190,000 for the 2020 period.
Interest expense was $1.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to $3.7 million for the same period in 2020. The cost of interest bearing liabilities declined to 0.36% in the third quarter of 2021 from 0.94% a year earlier, reflecting lower interest rates, repricing of deposits, reduction of higher-cost borrowings and strong balance sheet management. Average interest bearing liabilities declined by $155.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2020. For the nine months of 2021, interest expense declined to $4.9 million compared to $13.0 million for the same period in 2020. The cost of interest bearing liabilities declined to 0.46% from 1.18% for the nine months of 2020. Average interest bearing liabilities declined by $43.8 million when comparing the year-to-date 2021 period to the same period in 2020.
Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $13.2 million compared with $12.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The net interest margin for three months ended June 30, 2021 was 2.91% compared with 2.58% for the comparable period of fiscal 2020.

The interest rate spread was 2.79% for the nine months of 2021 compared with 2.49% for the nine months of fiscal 2020.
Net interest income after provision for loan losses in the three months of fiscal 2021 reflected a lower provision for loan losses, primarily due to prudent reserving practices in light of economic conditions and uncertainties. The Company’s provision for loan losses was $600,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared with $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The Company’s provision for loan losses was $2.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, compared with $2.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2020.
Noninterest income decreased 20.5% to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared with $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily reflecting decreases in the gain on sale of residential mortgages to the secondary market and commercial loan swap fees which were partially offset by increases in fee income from deposits, loans and trust and investments.
Noninterest income increased 11.6% to $8.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, compared with $8.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2020.

Noninterest expense was $30.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared with $28.7 million for the comparable period a year earlier primarily reflecting increases in compensation and employee benefits expenses and other operating expenses. Gain on foreclosed real estate also increased $700,000. In both periods of 2021, increased compensation and employee benefits included performance-based commissions paid to residential mortgage team members, reflecting strong mortgage origination activity.
Balance Sheet, Asset Quality and Capital Adequacy Review
Total assets decreased $71.3 million to $1.82 billion at June 30, 2021, from $1.89 billion at September 30, 2020, primarily due to decreases in investment securities available for sale and loans receivable offset in part by increases cash and cash equivalents. The Company built the majority of its cash position in the fiscal second quarter of 2020 and has maintained that position through the third quarter of fiscal 2021 as managed declines in borrowed funds were more than offset by increases in deposits. At June 30, 2021, cash and cash equivalents were $185.4 million.
Total net loans were $1.37 billion at June 30, 2021 compared with $1.42 billion at September 30, 2020. Residential real estate loans were $584.4 million at June 30, 2021 compared to $610.4 million at September 30, 2020. The Company sold $52.6 million in residential mortgage loans to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh during the nine months ended June 30, 2021, recording gains on the sale of these loans in noninterest income. Indirect auto loans declined by $21.0 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2021, reflecting expected runoff of the portfolio as the Company exits the indirect auto lending business.
Commercial real estate loans were $578.5 million at June 30, 2021 compared with $509.6 million at September 30, 2020, with growth reflecting new loans, primarily in the Philadelphia market. Commercial loans were $95.2 million, compared with $139.6 million at September 30, 2020, primarily reflecting the net decrease of $32.6 million in PPP loans during fiscal 2021. Construction loans increased to $12.2 million at June 30, 2021 from $11.9 million at September 30, 2020.
Loans remaining in forbearance at June 30, 2021 included $29.8 million in commercial real estate, $481,000 in commercial and $1.1 million in mortgage. In total, these loans represent 2.3% of our total outstanding loans at June 30, 2021 compared to 4.5% at September 30, 2020 and 12.4% at June 30, 2020.
Total deposits were $1.59 billion at June 30, 2021 up 3.0% compared with $1.54 billion at September 30, 2020. Core deposits (demand accounts, savings and money market) were $1.35 billion, or 84.8% of total deposits, at June 30, 2021. Noninterest bearing demand accounts were $277.8 million, up 14.5% from September 30, 2020, interest bearing demand accounts rose 72.2% to $473.1 million from September 30, 2020 levels, and money market accounts were $410.3 million, up $8.4 million or 2.1% from September 30, 2020. Total borrowings decreased to zero at June 30, 2021 from $125.9 million at September 30, 2020 as the Company shifted its wholesale funding to lower costing brokered deposits.
Nonperforming assets were $21.9 million, or 1.20% of total assets, at June 30, 2021, compared with $25.1 million, or 1.27% of total assets at March 31, 2021, $20.6 million, or 1.09% of total assets, at September 30, 2020 and $20.5 million, or 1.02% of total assets at June 30, 2020. Nonperforming assets include two nonperforming commercial real estate loans totaling $8.9 million and one commercial loan relationship totaling $5.6 million. The commercial real estate loans are well collateralized and carry personal guarantees.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.85% and 8.07%, compared with 0.76% and 7.76%, respectively, in the comparable period of fiscal 2020.
The Bank continued to demonstrate financial strength with a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.42% at June 30, 2021, exceeding regulatory standards for a well-capitalized institution.
Total stockholders’ equity increased $7.9 million to $199.3 million at June 30, 2021, from $191.4 million at September 30, 2020, primarily reflecting net income growth and an increase in comprehensive income, offset in part by dividends paid to shareholders and an increase in treasury stock. Tangible book value per share at June 30, 2021 was $17.49 compared to $16.26 at September 30, 2020 and $16.33 at June 30, 2020.
