The Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.01 per share, payable on August 23, 2023, to shareholders of record as of August 9, 2023.
Discussing results, Rick Wayne, Chief Executive Officer, said, "We closed our fiscal year with yet another strong quarter. The historic loan growth in our second fiscal quarter continued to prove beneficial, as National Lending Division interest income increased by $29.8 million to $53.3 million over the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Our National Lending Division finished the fiscal year with record purchases with $1.14 billion, including $48.8 million for the quarter. This resulted in net growth in our purchased portfolio of $1.00 billion, or 209.9%, compared with June 30, 2022. In addition to the growth in loan balances, our National Lending Division's combined yield increased to 8.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, as compared to 7.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Asset quality remains strong, with non-performing assets of 0.55% of total assets, as compared to 0.82% of total assets at June 30, 2022." Mr. Wayne continued, "As a result of the increase in the average balances of our loan portfolio, we are reporting earnings of $1.61 per diluted common share, a return on average equity of 16.7%, and a return on average assets of 1.7% for the quarter."
As of June 30, 2023, total assets were $2.87 billion, an increase of $1.29 billion, or 81.3%, from total assets of $1.58 billion as of June 30, 2022.

(1) The total return on purchased loans represents scheduled accretion, accelerated accretion, gains on real estate owned and other noninterest income recorded during the period divided by the average invested balance, which includes purchased loans held for sale, on an annualized basis. The total return on purchased loans does not include the effect of purchased loan charge-offs or recoveries during the period. Total return on purchased loans is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. See reconciliation in below table entitled "Total Return on Purchased Loans."
- Deposits increased by $649.5 million, or 50.4%, from June 30, 2022. The increase was attributable to increases in time deposits of $791.9 million, or 622.0%, and money market deposits of $31.8 million, or 12.9%, partially offset by a decrease in demand deposits of $185.3 million, or 56.3%. The primary reason for the net increase in deposits was due to the increase in brokered time deposits, which increased by $600.4 million compared to June 30, 2022. The use of brokered time deposits is part of the Bank's strategy to fund the loan purchases. The decrease in demand deposits was primarily due to a decrease in the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") Liquidity Facility balance during the year ended June 30, 2023 as the balance of PPP loans purchased by The Loan Source, Inc. that remain outstanding decreased significantly during this period.
- Shareholders' equity increased by $48.3 million, or 19.5%, from June 30, 2022, primarily due to net income of $44.2 million, the issuance of 194 thousand shares of voting common stock, adding $8.0 million to shareholders' equity, and stock-based compensation of $3.4 million, partially offset by the repurchase of 136 thousand shares of voting common stock at a weighted average price per share of $37.99, which resulted in a $5.2 million decrease to shareholders' equity.
Net income increased by $1.8 million to $12.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to net income of $10.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
1. Net interest and dividend income before provision for loan losses increased by $10.6 million to $34.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $23.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to the following:
- An increase in interest income earned on loans of $29.9 million, primarily due to an increase in interest income earned on the National Lending Division's originated and purchased portfolios, due to higher average balances in both portfolios and higher rates earned on the originated portfolio, partially offset by lower rates earned on the purchased portfolio; and
- An increase in interest income earned on short-term investments of $2.6 million, primarily due to higher rates earned; partially offset by,
- An increase in deposit interest expense of $17.0 million, due to higher interest rates and higher average balances in interest-bearing deposits; and
- An increase in FHLB borrowings interest expense of $5.3 million, primarily due to higher average balances.

(1) The total return on purchased loans represents scheduled accretion, accelerated accretion, and gains on real estate owned recorded during the period divided by the average invested balance, which includes purchased loans held for sale, on an annualized basis. The total return does not include the effect of purchased loan charge-offs or recoveries in the quarter. Total return is considered a non-GAAP financial measure.
2. Noninterest income decreased by $3.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2022, principally due to the following:
- A decrease in correspondent fee income of $3.5 million from the recognition of correspondent fees and related net servicing income. Correspondent income for the quarters ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 is comprised of the following components:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | |||||||

| (In thousands) | |||||||
| Correspondent Fee | $ | 8 | $ | 1,067 | |||

| Earned Net Servicing Interest | 67 | 1,168 | |||||
| Total | $ | 207 | $ | 3,686 | |||
The Bank has $177 thousand of unamortized correspondent fee and purchased accrued interest remaining at June 30, 2023. The decrease in correspondent fee income was partially offset by:
- An increase in gain on sale of SBA loans of $278 thousand, due to the sale of $5.4 million in SBA loans during the quarter ended June 30, 2023.
3. Noninterest expense increased by $3.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the following:
- An increase in salaries and employee benefits expense of $1.7 million, primarily due to increases in regular compensation, stock compensation expense, and incentive compensation expense;
- An increase in deposit insurance expense of $443 thousand, primarily due to the increase in average assets and decrease in Tier 1 leverage ratio, which increased the Bank's assessment rate; and
- An increase in other noninterest expense of $408 thousand, primarily due to a one-time $338 thousand decrease in non-income tax expense that was reclassified out of other noninterest expense and into income tax expense during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and a $45 thousand increase in travel and meals and entertainment expense; and
- An increase in loan expense of $382 thousand, due to increases in general loan expense and collection expense.
4. Income tax expense increased by $877 thousand to $6.4 million, or an effective tax rate of 34.5%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $5.5 million, or an effective tax rate of 34.8%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The increase in income tax expense is due to the increase in pre-tax income. The decrease in the effective tax rate from June 30, 2022 is primarily due to a one-time income tax accrual adjustment of $290 thousand during the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
As of June 30, 2023, nonperforming assets totaled $15.7 million, or 0.55% of total assets, compared to $12.9 million, or 0.82% of total assets, as of June 30, 2022.
As of June 30, 2023, past due loans totaled $13.1 million, or 0.52% of total loans, compared to past due loans totaling $7.0 million, or 0.53% of total loans, as of June 30, 2022.
As of June 30, 2023, the Bank's Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 10.4%, compared to 16.1% at June 30, 2022, and the Total capital ratio was 12.3% at June 30, 2023, compared to 19.5% at June 30, 2022. Capital ratios decreased due to an increase in assets, primarily loans, partially offset by increased earnings.
