SEATTLE, July 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sound Financial Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq: SFBC), the holding company for Sound Community Bank (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $795 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, or $0.31 diluted earnings per share, as compared to net income of $770 thousand, or $0.30 diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, and $2.9 million, or $1.11 diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors declared a cash dividend on Company common stock of $0.19 per share, payable on August 23, 2024 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 9, 2024.
Comments from the President and Chief Executive Officer
"Modest increases in net income and earnings per share, coupled with a reduction in nonperforming assets and a minimal quarter-over-quarter expense increase of only $81 thousand, indicate that we have maintained our focus on key initiatives during this period of narrow net interest margins," remarked Laurie Stewart, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our credit quality performance ratios remain strong, and our allowance for credit losses reserve ratio remained steady over the past five quarters," continued Ms. Stewart.
"Further, our current loan-to-deposit ratio positions us to continue supporting our communities by extending credit to both consumers and businesses," concluded Ms. Stewart.

Operating Results
Net interest income decreased $12 thousand, or 0.2%, to $7.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to $7.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, and decreased $1.3 million, or 14.8%, from $8.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in the current quarter compared to both the prior quarter and the quarter one year ago was the result of increases in funding costs, primarily the rates paid on and balances of money market and certificate accounts, partially offset by an increase in the yield earned on interest-earning assets.
Interest income increased $279 thousand, or 2.0%, to $14.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to $13.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, and increased $1.6 million, or 13.1%, from $12.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to a higher average balance of interest-bearing cash, coupled with a seven basis point increase in the average yield on loans, reflecting increases in rates on newly originated loans and increases in rates on adjustable rate loans. This increase was partially offset by a decline in the average balance of investments. The increase in interest income from the same quarter last year was due primarily to higher average balances of loans and interest-bearing cash, a 21 basis point increase in the average yield on loans, a 68 basis point increase in the average yield on interest-bearing cash, and a 45 basis point increase in the average yield on investments, partially offset by a decline in the average balance of investments.
Interest income on loans increased $87 thousand, or 0.7%, to $12.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to $12.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, and increased $769 thousand, or 6.7%, from $11.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The average balance of total loans was $891.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, down slightly from $895.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 and up from $866.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The average yield on total loans was 5.56% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, up from 5.49% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 and 5.35% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The increase in the average loan yield during the current quarter compared to both the prior quarter and the second quarter of 2023 was primarily due to the origination of loans at higher interest rates. Additionally, variable rate loans resetting at higher rates further boosted the average loan yield from one year ago. The decrease in the average balance during the current quarter compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to a decline in construction and land loans, commercial business loans, and one-to-four family loans, partially offset by growth in commercial and multifamily loans, manufactured housing loans and consumer loans, with the growth in consumer loans coming primarily from floating homes loans. The increase in the average balance of loans during the current quarter compared to the second quarter of 2023 was primarily due to loan growth across all categories, excluding one-to-four family loans, construction and land loans, and commercial business loans.
Interest income on investments increased $22 thousand to $133 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to $111 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, and increased $5 thousand from $128 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to a higher average yield. Interest income on interest-bearing cash increased $170 thousand to $1.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, and increased $853 thousand from $733 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, due to higher average balances of interest-bearing cash. Additionally, the increase from the same quarter in the prior year was due to a higher average yield.
Interest expense increased $291 thousand, or 4.6%, to $6.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, from $6.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, and increased $2.9 million, or 79.7%, from $3.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The increase in interest expense during the current quarter from the prior quarter was primarily the result of a $17.0 million increase in the average balance of savings and money market accounts and a $2.0 million increase in the average balance of certificate accounts, respectively, as well as higher average rates paid on all categories of interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a $6.0 million decrease in the average balance of demand and NOW accounts. The increase in interest expense during the current quarter from the comparable period a year ago was primarily the result of a $37.7 million increase in the average balance of certificate accounts and a $138.3 million increase in the average balance of savings and money market accounts, as well as higher average rates paid on all interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a $61.4 million decrease in the average balance of demand and NOW accounts and a $8.1 million decrease in the average balance of FHLB advances. The average cost of deposits was 2.67% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, up from 2.57% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 and 1.45% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The average cost of FHLB advances was 4.31% for both the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, and down from 4.56% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.
NIM (annualized) was 2.92% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, down from 2.95% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 and 3.71% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in NIM from the prior quarter and the quarter one year ago was primarily due to the cost of funding increasing at a faster pace than the yield earned on interest-earning assets, driven by the higher average balance of higher costing money market and certificate accounts.
A release of provision for credit losses of $109 thousand was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, consisting of a release of provision for credit losses on loans of $88 thousand and a release of provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments of $21 thousand. This compared to a release of provision for credit losses of $33 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, consisting of a release of provision for credit losses on loans of $106 thousand and a provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments of $73 thousand, and a release of provision for credit losses of $331 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, consisting of a release of provision for loan losses of $242 thousand and a release of the provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments of $89 thousand. The decrease in the release of provision for credit losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2024 resulted primarily from a smaller loan portfolio, fewer loan commitments, as well as lower expected loss estimates in the current quarter. Expected loss estimates consider various factors, including market conditions, customer specific information, projected delinquencies, and the impact of economic conditions on borrowers' ability to repay.
Noninterest income increased $66 thousand, or 6.0%, to $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, and decreased $729 thousand, or 38.6% from $1.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily related to a $149 thousand increase in service charges and fee income due to a recovery of potential future lost fee income due to a vendor error and a $30 thousand gain on disposal of assets due to insurance claims on the loss of fully depreciated assets, partially offset by $51 thousand and $43 thousand downward adjustments in fair value adjustment on mortgage servicing rights and earnings on bank-owned life insurance ("BOLI"), respectively, due to fluctuating market interest rates and a $16 thousand decrease in net gain on sale of loans as a result of a Fannie Mae charge-back in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease in noninterest income from the comparable period in 2023 was primarily due to a $584 thousand decrease in earnings on BOLI due to the death benefit received in the second quarter of 2023, a $212 thousand decrease in the fair value adjustment on mortgage servicing rights due to higher market rates, a $36 thousand decrease in net gain on sale of loans as a result of the issue noted above and a decrease in mortgage servicing income as a result of the portfolio paying down at a faster speed than we are replacing the loans. These decreases were partially offset by a $91 thousand increase in service charges and fee income and $30 thousand gain on disposal assets due to the reasons noted above. Loans sold during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, totaled $4.0 million, compared to $4.2 million and $6.4 million of loans sold during the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.
Noninterest expense increased $81 thousand, or 1.1%, to $7.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to $7.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, and increased $240 thousand, or 3.2%, from $7.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The increase from the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was primarily a result of higher salaries and benefits, higher operations expenses and higher regulatory assessments, partially offset by lower data processing and occupancy expenses, as well as a decrease in net (gain) loss on OREO and repossessed assets. Salaries and employee benefits increased $115 thousand during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior quarter due to a higher incentive compensation accrual, higher vacation expense and higher directors fees as a result of one additional director beginning in May 2024. Operations expense increased $112 thousand primarily due to increases in various expenses, including loan origination costs, investor relations expenses, office expenses, charitable contributions and marketing expenses partially due to timing of transactions. These increases were offset by decreases in debit card processing costs and legal fees. The increase in regulatory assessments relates to higher regulatory exam costs in 2024. The decrease in data processing expenses primarily relates to the reimbursement of data processing expenses by one of our vendors in connection with the implementation of new software in the second quarter of 2024 and lower costs related to our core processor. Occupancy expenses decreased from the prior quarter primarily due to the release of an accrual for property taxes due to lower than expected payments. The increase in noninterest expense compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to increases in operations expense, regulatory assessments, and data processing expense and an increase in net (gain) loss on OREO and repossessed assets, partially offset by a decreases in salaries and benefits expense and occupancy costs. Operations expense rose due to increases in various expenses, including loan origination costs, investor relations expenses, operational losses due primarily to one large check fraud issue in the second quarter of 2024, and charitable contributions due to timing of transactions, partially offset by lower office expenses. Regulatory expenses increased due to higher regulatory exam costs paid in the second quarter of 2024 and an increase in regulatory assessments due to the change in the assessment rate in the prior year not being adjusted for until later in 2023. Data processing expenses increased due to software-related costs for new technology being implemented at the Bank and higher processing charges related to a higher volume of transactional activity. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $42 thousand in salaries and benefits, reflecting lower salaries due to the restructuring of positions at the Bank, lower deferred compensation, lower medical expense, lower stock compensation and higher deferred salaries, partially offset by an increase in incentive compensation as a result of overall Bank performance. Occupancy expenses decreased for the same reasons noted above in the comparison to the prior quarter.
Balance Sheet Review, Capital Management and Credit Quality
Assets at June 30, 2024 totaled $1.07 billion, a decrease from $1.09 billion at March 31, 2024 and up from $1.01 billion at June 30, 2023. The decrease in total assets from March 31, 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in loans held-for-portfolio and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by an increase in other assets due to a reclass between premises and equipment and other assets. The increase from one year ago was primarily a result of an increase in cash and cash equivalents and in loans held-for-portfolio.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $2.9 million, or 2.1%, to $135.1 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $138.0 million at March 31, 2024, and increased $34.9 million, or 34.9%, from $100.2 million at June 30, 2023. The increase from one year ago was primarily due to the increase in deposits exceeding the increase in our loans held-for-portfolio.
Investment securities decreased $129 thousand, or 1.3%, to $10.1 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $10.3 million at March 31, 2024, and decreased $437 thousand, or 4.1%, from $10.6 million at June 30, 2023. Held-to-maturity securities totaled $2.1 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $2.2 million at March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023. Available-for-sale securities totaled $8.0 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $8.1 million at March 31, 2024 and $8.4 million at June 30, 2023.
Loans held-for-portfolio were $889.3 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $897.9 million at March 31, 2024 and $855.4 million at June 30, 2023. The decrease in loans held-for-portfolio at June 30, 2024, compared to March 31, 2024, primarily resulted from decreases in one-to-four family home loans, construction and land loans and commercial business loans, partially offset by increases in commercial and multifamily loans. The decrease in one-to-four family home loans primarily related to one low yielding jumbo mortgage loan that the borrower paid off early. The decrease in construction and land loans was primarily due to completion of projects during the quarter and lower demand for this type of loan as a result of higher interest rates limiting the projects that are moving forward with financing. The increase in commercial and multifamily loans from March 31, 2024 primarily resulted from conversion of construction projects to permanent financing. The increase in loans held-for-portfolio at June 30, 2024, compared to one year ago, primarily resulted from continued strong loan demand and slower prepayments, with increases across all loan categories; excluding one-to-four family home loans, construction and land loans and commercial business loans.
Nonperforming assets ("NPAs"), which are comprised of nonaccrual loans (including nonperforming modified loans), other real estate owned ("OREO") and other repossessed assets, decreased $719 thousand, or 7.4%, to $9.0 million at June 30, 2024, from $9.7 million at March 31, 2024 and increased $6.9 million, or 332.6%, from $2.1 million at June 30, 2023. The decrease in NPAs from March 31, 2024 was primarily due to the sale of one other real estate owned property for $575 thousand for a small net gain on sale. The increase from one year ago was primarily due to the addition of $8.3 million of loans to nonaccrual status, which included a $3.7 million matured commercial real estate loan in process of securing financing from another lender, a $2.4 million floating home loan, and a $1.0 million commercial real estate loan, all of which are well secured, and one manufactured home loan of $115 thousand that was repossessed in the first quarter of 2024. These additions were partially offset by the payoff of two loans totaling $370 thousand, the return of six loans to accrual status, charge-offs of $23 thousand, and normal payment amortization.
NPAs to total assets were 0.84%, 0.90% and 0.21% at June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans outstanding was 0.96% at each of June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023. Net loan charge-offs for the second quarter of 2024 totaled $17 thousand, compared to $56 thousand for the first quarter of 2023, and $73 thousand for the second quarter of 2023.
The following table summarizes our NPAs at the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

Deposits decreased $10.1 million, or 1.1%, to $906.8 million at June 30, 2024, from $916.9 million at March 31, 2024 and increased $84.5 million, or 10.3%, from $822.3 million at June 30, 2023. The decrease in deposits compared to the prior quarter-end was primarily a result of a seasonal increase in balances related to payment of state and federal taxes. The increase in deposits compared to one year ago was a result of an increase in certificate accounts and money market accounts, including $77.4 million of related party deposits, which were primarily used to fund organic loan growth, partially offset by decreases in noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing demand accounts and savings accounts as interest rate sensitive clients moved a portion of their non-operating deposit balances from lower costing deposits, including noninterest-bearing deposits, into higher costing money market and time deposits. Our noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $3.8 million, or 2.9%, to $124.9 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $128.7 million at March 31, 2024 and decreased $33.6 million, or 21.2%, from $158.5 million at June 30, 2023. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 13.8%, 14.0% and 19.3% of total deposits at June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.
FHLB advances totaled $40.0 million at both June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, compared to $60.0 million at June 30, 2023. FHLB advances are primarily used to support organic loan growth and to maintain liquidity ratios in line with our asset/liability objectives. FHLB advances outstanding at June 30, 2024 had maturities ranging from late 2024 through early 2028. Subordinated notes, net totaled $11.7 million at each of June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023.
Stockholders' equity totaled $101.3 million at June 30, 2024, an increase of $355 thousand, or 0.4%, from $101.0 million at March 31, 2024, and an increase of $1.4 million, or 1.4%, from $99.9 million at June 30, 2023. The increase in stockholders' equity from March 31, 2024 was primarily the result of $795 thousand of net income earned during the current quarter and a $1 thousand decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, partially offset by the payment of $486 thousand in cash dividends to the Company's stockholders.
