The National Bank of Coxsackie (“NBC”), the wholly-owned subsidiary of NBC Bancorp, Inc. (OTCPK:NCXS), announced that in the fourth quarter of 2023, it sold $9 million in available-for-sale securities composed of US Treasury and municipal securities with a weighted average book yield of 1.71% and average remaining life of 2.68 years. NBC recognized a pre-tax loss on the sale of $592 thousand. The transaction was designed to immediately improve net interest income as the bond proceeds were used to paydown wholesale funding with an average cost exceeding 5% and also redirected into higher-yielding loans.

Upon execution, the transaction had a neutral impact on stockholders’ equity and tangible book value per share. Beginning in 2024, returns on average assets and average equity are expected to increase as a result of the transaction as well as an expected increase in net interest margin.
