Rhinebeck Bancorp, Inc. Reports Results for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2024

News provided by

Rhinebeck Bancorp, Inc.


Poughkeepsie, New York, April 25, 2024 /ACCESSWIRE/ Rhinebeck Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: RBKB), the holding company of Rhinebeck Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 of $1.1 million ($0.10 per basic and diluted share), which was $323,000, or 40.5%, higher than the comparable prior year period of $798,000 ($0.07 per basic and diluted share).

The increase in net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to an increase in non-interest income and decreases in the provision for credit losses and non-interest expenses, partially offset by a decrease in net interest income, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The Company’s return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.34% and 3.92% for the first quarter of 2024, respectively, as compared to 0.24% and 2.95% for the first quarter of 2023, respectively.

President and Chief Executive Officer Michael J. Quinn said, “Our performance during the first quarter was an improvement over the past year as conditions appear to be stabilizing with the fast rising interest rates, high inflation and liquidity demands all seemingly behind us. I’m pleased to report that our net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, of $1.1 million improved by $323,000 over the comparable quarter in 2023. We increased our tangible book value per share to $10.10, an increase of 5.3% from March 31, 2023. We continue to focus on improving results through the beneficial pricing of assets and liabilities, as well as maintaining a continual focus on reducing operating costs.

Income Statement Analysis

Net interest income decreased $968,000, or 9.8%, to $8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from $9.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to higher costs of deposits and borrowings, higher average balances on borrowings, and a shift in deposits from transaction accounts to higher-yielding certificates of deposit. The decrease was partially offset by higher yields on interest earning assets. The increased yield on interest-earning assets and the increased costs of our interest-bearing liabilities were mostly due to the rising interest rate environment over the past year.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the average balance of interest-earning assets decreased by $23.0 million, or 1.8%, to $1.22 billion while the average yield improved by 39 basis points to 5.14%, when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased by $12.0 million, or 1.3%, primarily due to the increase in the average balance of FHLB advances while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased by 82 basis points to 2.92%. The overall net interest margin decreased by 29 basis points to 2.92% and the overall interest rate spread decreased by 43 basis points to 2.22% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The provision for credit losses on loans decreased by $931,000, or 91.8%, from $1.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 to $83,000 for the current quarter. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased loan production during the quarter, changes to qualitative factors in response to improving economic conditions and decreased charge-offs.  


Net charge-offs decreased $164,000 from $414,000 for the first quarter of 2023 to $250,000 for the first quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to decreased net charge-offs in indirect automobile loans of $208,000. The percentage of overdue account balances to total loans decreased to 1.84% as of March 31, 2024 from 1.90% as of December 31, 2023, while non-performing assets increased $354,000, or 8.4%, to $4.6 million at March 31, 2024.

Non-interest income totaled $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $130,000, or 9.4%, from the comparable period in 2023, due primarily to an increase of $72,000, or 23.3%, in investment advisory income resulting from the improved investment market and economic conditions, an increase of $36,000 in the net gain on sales of mortgage loans as we sold $2.0 million of residential mortgage loans in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2023, and an increase of $35,000 in service charges on deposit accounts.

For the first quarter of 2024, non-interest expense totaled $8.9 million, a decrease of $326,000, or 3.5%, over the comparable period in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a $248,000, or 4.7%, decrease in salaries and benefits due to a Company-wide reduction in force of approximately 5% in the first quarter of 2023. Other non-interest expense decreased $108,000, or 6.6%, primarily due to decreased retail banking expenses. FDIC deposit insurance and other insurance decreased $29,000, or 10.3%, primarily due a decreased assessment rate while occupancy expense decreased $26,000, or 2.4%, due to a branch closure in the first quarter of 2024. Professional fees, data processing fees and marketing expense increased by $48,000, $23,000 and $17,000, respectively, partially offsetting the other decreases in non-interest expense.

Balance Sheet Analysis

Total assets decreased $14.4 million, or 1.1%, to $1.30 billion at March 31, 2024 from $1.31 billion at December 31, 2023. Available for sale securities decreased $9.3 million, or 4.9%, primarily due to paydowns, calls and maturities of $8.5 million, and an increase in unrealized loss on available for sale securities of $734,000. Cash and cash equivalents increased $8.5 million, or 38.6%, primarily due to an increase in deposits held at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as our customer deposits increased and loans and securities decreased. Loans receivable decreased $15.5 million to $993.3 million, as compared to December 31, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in indirect automobile loans of $27.2 million, or 6.9%, reflecting a strategic decision to decrease that loan portfolio as a percentage of our balance sheet. Partially offsetting the decreases in automobile loans were increases in commercial real estate loans of $9.5 million, or 2.2%, residential real estate loans of $1.6 million, or 2.1%, and commercial and industrial loans of $2.4 million, or 2.7%. Federal Home Loan Bank stock decreased $900,000 as borrowings decreased, property and equipment decreased $3.0 million, or 16.9%, as the Beacon branch office was sold in February of 2024 for $2.9 million. Other assets increased $5.5 million, or 28.8%, as a bond matured at the end of the month and was awaiting settlement.

Past due loans decreased $874,000, or 4.6%, between December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024, finishing at $18.3 million, or 1.84%, of total loans, down from $19.2 million, or 1.90%, of total loans at year-end 2023. Our allowance for credit losses was 0.80% of total loans and 174.85% of non-performing loans at March 31, 2024 as compared to 0.81% of total loans and 194.31% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2023. Non-performing assets totaled $4.6 million and included no other real estate owned at March 31, 2024. At December 31, 2023, non-performing assets totaled $4.2 million and included $25,000 in other real estate owned.

Total liabilities decreased $15.0 million, or 1.3%, to $1.18 billion at March 31, 2024 from $1.20 billion at December 31, 2023 due to a decrease in borrowings partially offset by an increase in deposits. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank decreased $20.0 million, or 15.6%. Deposits increased $6.5 million, or 0.6%. Interest bearing deposits increased $19.4 million, or 2.5%, reflecting a shift in deposits from transaction accounts to higher yielding time deposits and money market accounts as customers sought increasing yields on their deposits while non-interest bearing deposits decreased $12.8 million, or 5.1%, due to increased competition for deposits. At March 31, 2024, uninsured deposits remained steady at approximately 29% of the Bank’s total deposits.


Stockholders' equity increased $587,000, or 0.5%, to $114.3 million at March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to net income of $1.1 million, partially offset by a $580,000 increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss primarily reflecting valuation changes in our available-for-sale securities portfolio due to current financial market conditions. The Company's ratio of average equity to average assets was 8.77% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 8.19% for the year ended December 31, 2023.
