2022 vs 2021

Net Interest Income:

Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2022 totaled $74.2 million compared with $65.6 million for the prior year, an increase of $8.6 million, or 13.1%. The increase was primarily due to increases of $9.2 million in interest income on loans, including fees, $3.2 million in interest and dividend income on taxable securities, and $0.1 million in interest income on interest-earning deposits, offset by increases of $3.4 million in interest expense on deposits, and $0.5 million in interest expense on borrowed funds.

The increase in interest income on loans, including fees was due primarily to a 32 basis points increase in the average yields on loans, primarily related to the commercial and consumer loan portfolios due to an increase in interest rates, and a $101.0 million increase in average loan balances, representing increases across all loan categories. The increase in interest and dividend income on taxable securities was due primarily to a 28 basis points increase in the average yield due to an increase in interest rates, and an increase in the average invested balances of $83.9 million. The increase in interest income on interest-earning deposits was due primarily to the increase in interest rates on overnight deposits with the average yield on interest-earning deposits increasing from 0.17% in 2021 to 1.24% in 2022. The increase in interest expense on deposits was due primarily to a 22 basis points increase in average rates paid on interest-bearing deposits which included one-way brokered deposits, and a deposit campaign in the fourth quarter of 2022, when compared to the prior year. The increase in interest expense on borrowed funds was due primarily to an increase in the average balances and interest rates of overnight FHLBNY borrowing, when compared to the prior year.

Fully taxable equivalent net interest margin was 3.05% for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared with 2.84% for the prior year. Average interest-earning assets increased $119.8 million in 2022 compared to the prior year. The average yield on interest- earning assets increased 36 basis points while the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 24 basis points in 2022 when compared to the prior year, due to the rising rate environment in 2022.

The provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2022 was a credit of $0.6 million compared with a provision of $17.0 thousand for the prior year, a decrease of $0.6 million. The decrease was primarily due to the $2.4 million release of the pandemic related portion of the allowance, the $1.5 million release of a specific reserve related to the sale of a large commercial real estate credit, positive impacts of $0.8 million related to the upgrade of two large commercial credits, and a $1.0 million decrease in the historical loss factor due to the roll-off of a commercial real estate owner occupied property previously charged off in 2020. These decreases in the provision were offset by additional provision of $4.2 million related to increased loan growth, along with additional provisioning for loan concentrations and deteriorating national economic conditions.

Non-Interest Income:

Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $21.4 million compared to $23.9 million for the prior year, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 10.2%. The decrease was due primarily to decreases of $1.0 million in net gains on sales of loans held for sale, $0.8 million in wealth management group fee income, $0.6 million in the change in fair value of equity investments,
$0.5 million in other non-interest income, and $0.2 million in interchange revenue from debit card transactions, offset by an increase of $0.6 million in service charges on deposit accounts.

The decrease in net gains on sales of loans held for sale was primarily due to a decrease in mortgage loans sold into the secondary market when compared to the prior year. The decrease in wealth management group fee income was primarily attributed to a decrease in the market value of total assets under management or administration. The decrease in the change in fair value of equity investments was primarily due to the decline in the market value of assets held for the Corporation's deferred compensation plan. The decrease in other non-interest income was primarily due to the receipt of $0.6 million in real estate and sales tax refunds received in the prior year. The decrease in interchange revenue from debit card transactions in 2022 was primarily attributable to a decrease in consumer debit card usage when compared to the prior year. The increase in service charges on deposit accounts was primarily due to an increase in non-sufficient fund and overdraft fees when compared to the prior year.

Non-Interest Expense:

Non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $59.3 million compared with $55.7 million in the prior year, an increase of $3.6 million, or 6.5%. The increase was due primarily to increases of $1.6 million in pension and other employee benefits, $1.1 million in other non-interest expense, $0.6 million in salaries and wages, and $0.4 million in data processing expenses.

The increase in pension and other employee benefits was due primarily to a $1.4 million increase in healthcare expenses when compared to the prior year. The increase in other non-interest expense was due primarily to the $0.3 million recognition of directors' stock compensation expense due to the implementation of the Corporation's 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, a $0.1 million increase in CDARS fee expense, $0.1 million of additional restitution regarding previously disclosed consumer compliance matters, and a $0.2 million related reserve which was initially released in 2021. The increase in salaries and wages was primarily due to merit increases, increases in salary costs to fill open positions due to competitive market conditions, and a decrease in deferred salary costs related to PPP, offset by a decline in the market value of the Corporation's deferred compensation plan, when compared to the prior year. The increase in data processing expense was primarily attributable to investment in the Corporation's Tap-to-Pay debit cards supporting contactless transactions, increased software maintenance expenses, and a credit received in the prior year.

Income Tax Expense:

Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $8.1 million compared with $7.3 million for the prior year, an increase of $0.8 million, or 10.5%. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased to 22.0% compared to 21.7% for the prior year. The increase in income tax expense was primarily due to an increase in pretax income.

4th Quarter 2022 vs 4th Quarter 2021

Net Interest Income:

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2022 totaled $20.9 million compared to $16.9 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $4.0 million, or 23.6%, due primarily to increases of $5.6 million in interest income on loans, including fees, $1.1 million in interest and dividend income on taxable securities, and $0.1 million in interest income on interest-earning deposits, offset by increases of $2.6 million in interest expense on deposits, and $0.2 million in interest expense on borrowed funds.

The increase in interest income on loans, including fees was due primarily to a 67 basis points increase in the average yields when compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily related to the commercial and consumer loan portfolios due to an increase in interest rates, and a $266.6 million increase in average loan balances, representing increases across all loan categories. The increase in interest and dividend income on taxable securities was due primarily to a 67 basis points increase in the average yield due to an increase in average interest rates. The increase in interest income on interest-earning deposits was due primarily to the increase in interest rates on overnight deposits with the average yield on interest-earning deposits increasing from 0.16% in the fourth quarter of 2021 to 3.52% in fourth quarter of 2022.

The increase in interest expense on deposits was due primarily to a 61 basis points increase in average rates paid on interest-bearing deposits, which included one-way brokered deposits and a deposit campaign in the fourth quarter of 2022, when compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in interest expense on borrowed funds was due primarily to an increase in the average balances and interest rates of overnight FHLBNY borrowing in the current quarter, when compared to the same period in the prior year.

Fully taxable equivalent net interest margin was 3.26% for the fourth quarter 2022, compared to 2.85% for the same period in the prior year. Average interest-earning assets increased $186.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Non-Interest Income:

Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $5.4 million compared to $5.8 million for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 6.4%. The decrease in the current quarter was due primarily to decreases of
$0.3 million in wealth management group fee income, and $0.2 million in net gains on sales of loans held for sale.

The decrease in wealth management group fee income was primarily due to a decrease in the market value of the total assets under management or administration when compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in net gains on sales of loans held for sale was primarily attributable to a decrease in residential mortgage loans sold into the secondary market when compared to the same period in the prior year.

Non-Interest Expense:

Non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $15.7 million compared to $14.4 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $1.3 million, or 9.1%. The increase can be mostly attributed to increases of $0.5 million in other non-interest expense, $0.4 million of loan expenses, $0.4 million of pension and other employee benefits, and $0.1 million of professional services, offset by a decrease of $0.1 million in salaries and wages.

The increase in other non-interest expense was primarily due to increases in recruitment expenses and CDARS fee expense, and the recognition of directors' stock compensation due to the implementation of the Corporation's 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. Loan expenses increased primarily due to the timing of flat fee payments related to indirect consumer loan activity. Pension and other employee benefits increased primarily due to an increase in employee healthcare costs when compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in professional services was primarily due to additional consulting services when compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in salaries and wages was primarily attributed to a decrease in expenses related to the Corporation's annual award program.

Income Tax Expense:

Income tax expense for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $2.1 million compared with $1.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The effective tax rate for the current quarter increased to 21.8% compared to 21.6% for the same period in the prior year.

4th Quarter 2022 vs 3rd Quarter 2022

Net Interest Income:

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2022 totaled $20.9 million compared to $19.0 million for the prior quarter, an increase of $1.9 million, or 9.9%, due primarily to increases of $2.8 million in interest income on loans, including fees, and $0.6 million in interest and dividend income on taxable securities, offset by an increase of $1.5 million in interest expense on deposit accounts.

The increase in interest income on loans, including fees was due primarily to a 38 basis points increase in the average yields on loans, primarily related to the commercial and consumer loan portfolios due to an increase in interest rates, and a $111.2 million increase in average invested loan balances representing increases across all loan categories. The increase in interest and dividend income on taxable securities can be primarily attributed to a 36 basis points increase in the average yield on taxable securities in the fourth quarter of 2022 when compared to the prior quarter. The increase in interest expense on deposits was due primarily to an increase in interest rates when compared to the prior quarter.

Fully taxable equivalent net interest margin was 3.26% in the current quarter compared to 3.08% in the prior quarter. Average interest-earning assets increased $93.6 million in the current quarter compared to the prior quarter. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased 41 basis points to 3.82% and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 37 basis points to 0.88%, for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to the prior quarter, due to the rising interest rate environment in 2022.

Non-Interest Income:

Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $5.4 million compared to $5.0 million for the prior quarter, an increase of $0.4 million, or 7.6%. The increase can be primarily attributed to increases of $0.2 million in the change in fair value of equity investments. The increase in the change in fair value of equity investments when compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to an increase in contributions by participants to the Corporation's deferred compensation plan.

Non-Interest Expense:

Non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $15.7 million compared to $14.6 million for the prior quarter, an increase of $1.1 million, or 7.7%. The increase can be mostly attributed to increases of $0.7 million in loan expenses, $0.4 million in other non-interest expense, $0.2 million in net occupancy expenses, and $0.1 million in professional services, offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in salaries and wages.

Loan expenses increased primarily due to the timing of flat fee payments related to indirect consumer loan activity when compared to the prior quarter. The increase in other non-interest expense can be primarily attributed to increases in charitable donations, CDARS fee expense, and recruitment expenses, when compared to the prior quarter. Net occupancy expenses increased primarily due to the timing of real estate tax expenses and the completion of building maintenance projects, when compared to the prior quarter. The increase in professional services was primarily due to the timing of invoices and the decrease in salaries and wages was primarily attributed to a decrease in expenses related to the Corporation's annual award program.

Asset Quality

Non-performing loans totaled $8.2 million at December 31, 2022, or 0.45% of total loans, compared to $8.1 million, or 0.54% of total loans at December 31, 2021. Non-performing assets, which are comprised of non-performing loans and other real estate owned, were $8.4 million, or 0.32% of total assets, at December 31, 2022, compared to $8.2 million, or 0.34% of total assets, at December 31, 2021. The increase in non-performing assets can be primarily attributed to the increase in non-performing loans.

Management performs an ongoing assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses based upon a number of factors including an analysis of historical loss factors, collateral evaluations, recent charge-off experience, credit quality of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and loan growth. Throughout the year, Management evaluated the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as it related to the loan portfolio. As part of this analysis, the Corporation released $2.4 million of the pandemic related portion of the allowance during 2022. In total, the Corporation released $4.3 million and utilized $0.5 million of the pandemic related allowance established in 2020. No pandemic related allowance for loan losses remains as of December 31, 2022.

The allowance for loan losses was $19.7 million at December 31, 2022 and $21.0 million at December 31, 2021, respectively. The decrease in the allowance for loan losses can mostly be attributed to the release of the aforementioned $2.4 million pandemic related portion of the allowance, the $1.5 million release of a specific reserve related to the sale of a large commercial real estate credit, positive impacts of $0.8 million related to upgrades of two large commercial credits, and a $1.0 million decrease in the historical loss factor due to the roll-off of a commercial real estate owner occupied property previously charged off in the second quarter of 2020. These decreases in the allowance were offset by additional provision of $4.2 million related to increased loan growth, along with additional provision for loan concentrations and deteriorating national economic conditions. The allowance for loan losses was 240.39% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2022 compared to 259.17% at December 31, 2021. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.07% at December 31, 2022 compared to 1.38% at December 31, 2021. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans excluding PPP loans was 1.08% at December 31, 2022, compared to 1.43% at December 31, 2021.

Balance Sheet Activity

Total assets were $2.646 billion at December 31, 2022 compared to $2.418 billion at December 31, 2021, an increase of $227.1 million, or 9.4%. The increase can be mostly attributed to increases of $311.2 million in loans, net of deferred origination fees and costs, $45.6 million in accrued interest receivable and other assets, $28.9 million in total cash and cash equivalents, and a decrease of $1.4 million in allowance for loan losses, offset by a decrease of $159.4 million in securities available for sale, at estimated fair value.

The increase in loans, net of deferred loan fees, can mostly be attributed to increases of $189.4 million in commercial loans, $26.3 million in residential mortgage loans, and $95.5 million in consumer loans. Paydowns due to SBA forgiveness of PPP loans decreased the total loan portfolio by $42.4 million as of December 31, 2022, when compared to December 31, 2021. $0.7 million in PPP loans remain as of December 31, 2022, representing 25 loans. The increase in accrued interest receivable and other assets was primarily due to increases of $24.5 million in the deferred tax asset, related to the market value adjustment on the available for sale securities portfolio, and $17.9 million in the interest rate swap asset. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to changes in deposits, securities, and loans. The decrease in securities available for sale was primarily due to $86.2 million in paydowns and a decrease in the fair value of the portfolio of $93.2 million due to increases in interest rates, offset by purchases of $23.7 million.

Total liabilities were $2.479 billion at December 31, 2022 compared to $2.207 billion at December 31, 2021, an increase of $272.1 million, or 12.3%. The increase in total liabilities can primarily be attributed to increases of $171.8 million, or 8.0% in deposits, $20.1 million in accrued interest payable and other liabilities, and $81.2 million in overnight advances. The increase in deposits was due primarily to increases of $80.1 million in public deposits, $73.5 million of one-way brokered deposits, and $57.6 million in consumer deposits, offset by a decrease of $34.7 million in commercial deposits. The increase in accrued interest payable and other liabilities was primarily attributed to an increase of $17.7 million in the interest rate swap liability. The increase in advances and other debt was primarily due to an increase in overnight FHLBNY borrowings.

Total shareholders’ equity was $166.4 million at December 31, 2022, compared to $211.5 million at December 31, 2021, a decrease of $45.1 million, or 21.3%, primarily due to a $68.7 million decrease in accumulated other income (loss), offset by an increase of $23.0 million in retained earnings. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was primarily due to a decrease in the fair market value of the securities portfolio due to the increase in interest rates. The increase in retained earnings was due primarily to net income of $28.8 million, offset by $5.8 million in dividends declared. The total equity to total assets ratio was 6.29% at December 31, 2022, compared to 8.74% at December 31, 2021. The tangible equity to tangible assets ratio was 5.51% at December 31, 2022 compared to 7.91% at December 31, 2021. Book value per share decreased to $35.32 at December 31, 2022 from $45.09 at December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2022, the Bank’s capital ratios were in excess of those required to be considered well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

Liquidity

Management believes that the Corporation has the necessary liquidity to provide flexibility in order to meet business needs. The Corporation uses a variety of resources to manage its liquidity. These include short term investments, cash flow from lending and investing activities, core- deposit growth and non-core funding sources, such as time deposits of $100,000 or more, brokered deposits, FHLBNY advances, and other borrowings. As of December 31, 2022, the Corporation's cash and cash equivalents balance was $55.9 million. The Corporation also maintains an investment portfolio of securities available for sale, comprised primarily of mortgage-backed securities and municipal bonds. Although this portfolio generates interest income for the Corporation, it also serves as an available source of liquidity and capital if the need should arise. As of December 31, 2022, the Corporation's investment in securities available for sale was $632.6 million, $463.3 million of which was not pledged as collateral. Additionally, as of December 31, 2022, the Bank's overnight advance line capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York was $195.6 million, of which $95.8 million was utilized. As of December 31, 2022, the Bank's unused borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York was $99.8 million. The Corporation entered into one-way brokered deposit arrangements with 4-week and 13-week terms totaling $73.5 million as of December 31, 2022.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations (Unaudited)

The Corporation prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP. See the Corporation’s unaudited consolidated balance sheets and statements of income contained within this press release. That presentation provides the reader with an understanding of the Corporation’s results that can be tracked consistently from period-to-period and enables a comparison of the Corporation’s performance with other companies’ GAAP financial statements.

In addition to analyzing the Corporation’s results on a reported basis, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, because it believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information to investors about the underlying operational performance and trends of the Corporation and, therefore, facilitate a comparison of the Corporation with the performance of its competitors. Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Corporation may not be comparable to similarly named non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

The SEC has adopted Regulation G, which applies to all public disclosures, including earnings releases, made by registered companies that contain “non-GAAP financial measures.” Under Regulation G, companies making public disclosures containing non-GAAP financial measures must also disclose, along with each non-GAAP financial measure, certain additional information, including a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the closest comparable GAAP financial measure and a statement of the Corporation’s reasons for utilizing the non-GAAP financial measure as part of its financial disclosures. The SEC has exempted from the definition of “non-GAAP financial measures” certain commonly used financial measures that are not based on GAAP. When these exempted measures are included in public disclosures, supplemental information is not required. The following measures used in this Report, which are commonly utilized by financial institutions, have not been specifically exempted by the SEC and may constitute "non-GAAP financial measures" within the meaning of the SEC's rules, although we are unable to state with certainty that the SEC would so regard them.

Fully Taxable Equivalent Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income is commonly presented on a tax-equivalent basis. That is, to the extent that some component of the institution's net interest income, which is presented on a before-tax basis, is exempt from taxation (e.g., is received by the institution as a result of its holdings of state or municipal obligations), an amount equal to the tax benefit derived from that component is added to the actual before-tax net interest income total. This adjustment is considered helpful in comparing one financial institution's net interest income to that of other institutions or in analyzing any institution’s net interest income trend line over time, to correct any analytical distortion that might otherwise arise from the fact that financial institutions vary widely in the proportions of their portfolios that are invested in tax-exempt securities, and that even a single institution may significantly alter over time the proportion of its own portfolio that is invested in tax-exempt obligations. Moreover, net interest income is itself a component of a second financial measure commonly used by financial institutions, net interest margin, which is the ratio of net interest income to average interest-earning assets. For purposes of this measure as well, fully taxable equivalent net interest income is generally used by financial institutions, as opposed to actual net interest income, again to provide a better basis of comparison from institution to institution and to better demonstrate a single institution’s performance over time. The Corporation follows these practices.

Efficiency Ratio

The unadjusted efficiency ratio is calculated as non-interest expense divided by total revenue (net interest income and non-interest income). The adjusted efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure which represents the Corporation’s ability to turn resources into revenue and is calculated as non-interest expense divided by total revenue (fully taxable equivalent net interest income and non- interest income), adjusted for one-time occurrences and amortization. This measure is meaningful to the Corporation, as well as investors and analysts, in assessing the Corporation’s productivity measured by the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent.

Tangible Equity and Tangible Assets (Period-End)

Tangible equity, tangible assets, and tangible book value per share are each non-GAAP financial measures. Tangible equity represents the Corporation’s stockholders’ equity, less goodwill and intangible assets. Tangible assets represents the Corporation’s total assets, less goodwill and other intangible assets. Tangible book value per share represents the Corporation’s tangible equity divided by common shares at period-end. These measures are meaningful to the Corporation, as well as investors and analysts, in assessing the Corporation’s use of equity.

Average tangible equity and return on average tangible equity are each non-GAAP financial measures. Average tangible equity represents the Corporation’s average stockholders’ equity, less average goodwill and intangible assets for the period. Return on average tangible equity measures the Corporation’s earnings as a percentage of average tangible equity. These measures are meaningful to the Corporation, as well as investors and analysts, in assessing the Corporation’s use of equity.

Adjustments for Certain Items of Income or Expense

In addition to disclosures of certain GAAP financial measures, including net income, EPS, ROA, and ROE, we may also provide comparative disclosures that adjust these GAAP financial measures for a particular period by removing from the calculation thereof the impact of certain transactions or other material items of income or expense occurring during the period, including certain nonrecurring items. The Corporation believes that the resulting non-GAAP financial measures may improve an understanding of its results of operations by separating out any such transactions or items that may have had a disproportionate positive or negative impact on the Corporation’s financial results during the particular period in question. In the Corporation’s presentation of any such non-GAAP (adjusted) financial measures not specifically discussed in the preceding paragraphs, the Corporation supplies the supplemental financial information and explanations required under Regulation G.
