Summit State Bank Earnings Increase 5% to $4.0 Million for Third Quarter 2022; Quarterly Average Assets Surpass $1.0 Billion; Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.12 Per Common Share

SANTA ROSA, Calif., Oct. 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Summit State Bank (Nasdaq: SSBI) today reported net income for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022 increased $183,000, or 5%, to $3,979,000, or $0.59 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3,796,000, or $0.57 per diluted share for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021. Strong loan and deposit growth and net interest margin expansion contributed to profitability for the quarter. In the first nine months of 2022, net income increased 10% to $12.4 million, or $1.86 per diluted share, compared to $11.0 million, or $1.65 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2021. Additionally, a quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share was declared for common shareholders.

Dividend:

The Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share on October 25, 2022. The quarterly dividend will be paid on November 17, 2022 to shareholders of record on November 10, 2022.

Results of Operations:

“The highlights of the third quarter included substantial growth in the loan portfolio, increases to our core deposit base, and expansion of our net interest margin,” noted Brian Reed, President and CEO. “Loan production was stronger than anticipated during the third quarter, and noninterest bearing deposit balances continued to increase, despite deposit pricing pressures. We also surpassed the $1 billion asset milestone, which is a testament to our growth plan. As we head into a new economic environment, we continue to look for new strategies to help our customers while also growing our operations. We are located in some of the most vibrant Northern California markets with a diverse and strong economy. Together, with our strong core operations and ample capital base, we have the resources in place to make our business stronger and more financially sustainable.”

The net interest margin for the third quarter of 2022 was 4.42%, annualized return on average assets was 1.56% and annualized return on average equity was 18.12%. This compared to a net interest margin of 4.31%, annualized return on average assets of 1.68% and annualized return on average equity of 18.54%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2021. These results were above the average 3.42% net interest margin, 1.05% return on average assets and 11.52% return on average equity posted by the 154 bank index peers that make up the Dow Jones U.S. MicroCap Bank index as of June 30, 2022.*

Interest income increased 18% to $12,541,000 in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $10,601,000 in the third quarter of 2021. The increase in interest income is attributable to a $1,674,000 increase in loan interest yield primarily driven by increased loan volume and secondarily by increased rates, $143,000 increase in interest on deposits with banks and $125,000 increase in investment interest.

Net loans and deposits increased when comparing the third quarter of 2022 to 2021. Net loans increased 13% to $893,580,000 at September 30, 2022 compared to $792,504,000 at September 30, 2021. Total deposits increased 16% to $868,912,000 at September 30, 2022 compared to $749,007,000 at September 30, 2021. Most of the deposit increase year-over-year is due to the Bank’s ongoing focus on growing local deposits organically.

Non-interest income decreased in the third quarter of 2022 to $1,055,000 compared to $1,359,000 in the third quarter of 2021. The Bank recognized $578,000 in gains on sales of SBA guaranteed loan balances in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $951,000 in gains on sales of SBA guaranteed loans balances in the third quarter of 2021.

Operating expenses decreased slightly in the third quarter of 2022 to $5,533,000 compared to $5,550,000 in the third quarter of 2021. The decrease is primarily due to a $463,000 reduction in stock appreciation rights expense and is offset by a $310,000 increase in salaries and benefits net of deferred fees and costs and a $140,000 increase in IT expenses.

Nonperforming assets were $3,947,000, or 0.38% of total assets, at September 30, 2022, and consisted of three loans; one loan for $3,200,000 is a real estate secured commercial loan that is in process of liquidation and the other two loans for $759,000 are commercial and agriculture secured loans. Nonperforming assets totaled $416,000, or 0.05% of total assets, at September 30, 2021.

Due to strong loan production and increases in expected losses, the Bank recorded a $770,000 provision for credit loss expense in the third quarter of 2022. This compared to no provision for credit loss expense in the third quarter of 2021. The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.57% on September 30, 2022 and 1.42% on September 30, 2021.

“We remain focused on being a reliable resource for our customers and communities through all economic cycles,” said Reed. “While there will be challenges in the local and global economy in the near term, we have the right team in place, together with the strength of our local markets, to lead the momentum to grow during the remainder of the year and into 2023.”
