Elmer Bancorp, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

ELMER BANCORP, INC. (“Elmer Bancorp” or the “Company”) (OTC Pink: ELMA), the parent company of The First National Bank of Elmer (the “Bank”), announces its operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, Elmer Bancorp reported net income of $771,000, or $0.67 per average diluted common share, compared to $759,000, or $0.66 per average diluted common share for the three months ended September 30, 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 net income totaled $2.544 million or $2.21 per average diluted common share compared to $1.579 million, or $1.37 per average diluted common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 totaled $3.688 million, an increase of $356,000 from $3.332 million in the third quarter of 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net interest income totaled $11.220 million compared to $9.075 million for the nine-month period of 2022. This increase in net interest income for the three-month period is related to higher interest and fees on loans resulting from core loan growth year-over-year partially offset by higher interest paid on deposits and lower interest income on our overnight investments. For the nine-month period, the increase in interest income was the result of higher interest and fees on loans and higher interest income on our overnight investments partially offset by higher interest paid on deposits. The loan loss provision was increased by $78,000 and $13,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to no loan loss provision in the first half of the year and a reduction in the loan loss provision of $87,000 in the third quarter of 2022. This adjustment was the result of the bank implementing the required loan loss calculation under the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) model.

Non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $5,000 higher than the same three-month period a year ago and $26,000 lower than the nine-month period last year. For the three-month period, higher service fee income was partially offset by higher Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) expenses and lower premiums on sold mortgages. For the nine-month period, a decrease in premiums on sold mortgages was partially offset by higher service fee income.

Non-interest expenses were higher for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 versus the prior year periods by $172,000 and $631,000, respectively. Increases in employment costs, data processing expenses, occupancy and equipment expenses, miscellaneous expenses, other real estate owned expenses and advertising/marketing expenses were partially offset by lower professional fees.

Elmer Bancorp’s total assets at September 30, 2023 totaled $353.7 million, a decrease of $31.9 million from the September 30, 2022 level of $385.6 million. Loans totaled $286.5 million at September 30, 2023, an increase of $19.4 million from the September 30, 2022 total of $267.1 million. The increase in loans was more than offset by a decrease in overnight investments of $50.6 million. At September 30, 2023, the allowance for loan losses was 1.43% of total loans.

Deposits totaled $320.1 million at September 30, 2023, a $35.3 million decrease over the September 30, 2022 total of $355.4 million, reflecting decreases of $29.3 million and $6.0 million in interest bearing and non-interest bearing deposits, respectively. This decrease in deposits is reflective of runoff that is occurring on deposits from government stimulus programs that have been artificially inflating our deposit totals. Stockholders’ equity totaled $31.6 million at September 30, 2023. The book value per share at September 30, 2023 was $27.44 compared to $24.63 per share at September 30, 2022. The Bank met all regulatory capital requirements to be classified as a well-capitalized institution as of September 30, 2023.

Brian W. Jones, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, “The third quarter proved to be yet another quarter of strong earnings. The increase in interest earned on our overnight investments as well as the increase in our loan balances of $19.4 million have both contributed to the year-over-year significant increase in our net interest income. Our deposits continue to be a significant source of liquidity for the bank as they continue to adjust toward pre-pandemic levels. As we prepare to close out the year, we would like to thank our customers, shareholders and team members for their loyalty and support.”
