SR Bancorp, Inc. Announces Quarterly And Annual Financial Results

Finanznachrichten News

BOUND BROOK, N.J., July 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- SR Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ: SRBK), the holding company for Somerset Regal Bank (the "Bank"), announced a net loss of $10.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2024 (unaudited), compared to net income of $1.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2023. One-time expenses incurred during the year included $4.4 million of merger-related expenses and a $4.2 million provision for credit losses, each of which was related to the acquisition of Regal Bancorp ("Regal Bancorp"), which is described in greater detail below, as well as a $5.4 million charitable contribution to establish the Somerset Regal Charitable Foundation. In addition, a $4.4 million loss on the sale of available-for-sale securities was incurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 as part of a balance sheet repositioning strategy whereby the proceeds of $30.9 million were redeployed into residential and commercial real estate loans. It was expected that the loss would be recouped within approximately 3.27 years and that the loans would have a positive spread differential over the securities that were sold, resulting in $1.4 million of additional pre-tax earnings on an annualized basis. Excluding the aforementioned one-time expenses, offset by $4.1 million of net accretion income related to fair value adjustments, net income for the year ended June 30, 2024 would have been $1.0 million.

Total assets were $1.02 billion, an increase of $369.4 million, or 56.7%, from $651.5 million at June 30, 2023. Net loans were $731.9 million, an increase of $369.6 million, or 102.0%, from $362.3 million at June 30, 2023. Total deposits were $807.1 million, an increase of $303.2 million, or 60.2%, from $503.9 million at June 30, 2023. The increases were primarily due to the acquisition of Regal Bancorp on September 19, 2023.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024 (unaudited), the Company reported a net loss of $3.0 million, compared to net income of $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 (unaudited). Excluding $1.2 million of net accretion income related to fair value adjustments, offset by a $4.4 million loss on the sale of securities and an additional $260,000 of costs related to the acquisition of Regal Bancorp, net loss would have been $499,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Excluding $1.4 million of net accretion income related to fair value adjustments, offset by $242,000 of costs related to the acquisition of Regal Bancorp, net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 would have been $258,000.

The financial information contained in this earnings release as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 is for SR Bancorp and Somerset Regal Bank. Financial information as of June 30, 2023 is for Somerset Savings Bank, SLA, on a stand-alone basis.

Completed Stock Offering and Merger

The conversion of Somerset Savings Bank, SLA from the mutual to stock form of organization and related stock offering by the Company was completed on September 19, 2023. SR Bancorp, Inc.'s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the trading symbol "SRBK" on September 20, 2023.

The Company sold 9,055,172 shares of common stock at a price of $10.00 per share. Additionally, the Company contributed 452,758 shares and $905,517 in cash to the Somerset Regal Charitable Foundation, Inc., a charitable foundation formed in connection with the conversion. Upon the completion of the conversion and offering, 9,507,930 shares of Company common stock were outstanding.

Promptly following the completion of the conversion and related stock offering, Regal Bancorp merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving entity (the "Merger"). Immediately following the Merger, Regal Bank, a New Jersey chartered commercial bank headquartered in Livingston, New Jersey and the wholly-owned subsidiary of Regal Bancorp, merged with and into Somerset Bank, which converted to a commercial bank charter, and was renamed Somerset Regal Bank. The Merger was completed on September 19, 2023.

Branch Closures

On January 10, 2024, the Company closed one of its retail branch locations in Summit, New Jersey acquired in the Merger due to the close proximity to another Bank branch. On March 15, 2024, the Company closed another retail branch office, also acquired in the Merger, located in Somerville, New Jersey due to its proximity to other Bank branches.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024

General. Net income decreased $4.1 million, or 385.2%, to a net loss of $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from net income of $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2024 included $1.2 million of net accretion income related to fair value adjustments resulting from the Merger, offset by $260,000 in merger-related expenses. The income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 included $1.4 million of net accretion income related to fair value adjustments, offset by $242,000 of costs. The decrease compared to the linked quarter was primarily caused by a decrease in noninterest expense, stemming from a loss of $4.4 million on the sale of securities available-for-sale during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Interest Income. Interest income decreased $259,000, or 2.2%, to $11.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $11.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to a five basis point decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets and a $13.1 million decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets. The decrease resulted from a $229,000 decrease in interest income on other assets and a $70,000 decrease in interest income on securities, offset by an increase of $40,000, or 0.4%, in interest income on loans. The decrease in the interest income on other assets was due to a 100 basis point decrease in the yield. The decrease in the interest income on securities was due to a $19.9 million decrease in the average balance of securities resulting from the aforementioned sale of securities.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $70,000, or 2.1%, to $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to a $196,000 increase in interest expense on deposits, offset by a $126,000 decrease in the interest expense on borrowings. Interest expense on interest-bearing demand deposits increased $260,000 due to an increase of $60.0 million in the average balance and an increase of 25 basis points in the cost of interest-bearing deposits to 0.94% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from 0.69% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Interest expense on certificates of deposit decreased $56,000 as the average rate on certificates of deposit decreased five basis points to 3.98% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from 4.03% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to the highly competitive interest rate environment in our market area. The average balance of certificates of deposit also decreased $2.2 million, or 0.8%, to $272.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $274.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $329,000, or 4.0%, to $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $8.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Net interest rate spread decreased 14 basis points to 2.69% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from 2.83% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Net interest margin decreased nine basis points to 3.22% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from 3.31% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Net interest-earning assets decreased $9.3 million, or 3.6%, to $271.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $261.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decreases in the Bank's net interest rate spread and net interest margin were primarily a result of the increased cost of interest-bearing liabilities due to the highly competitive interest rate environment in our market area, and decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets due to a reduction in accretion income related to fair value adjustments.

Provision for Credit Losses. The Bank establishes provisions for credit losses, which are charged to operations in order to maintain the allowance for credit losses at a level it considers necessary to absorb probable credit losses attributable to loans that are reasonably estimable at the balance sheet date. In determining the level of the allowance for credit losses, the Bank considers, among other things, past and current loss experience, evaluations of real estate collateral, economic conditions, the amount and type of lending, adverse situations that may affect a borrower's ability to repay a loan and the levels of delinquent, classified and criticized loans. The amount of the allowance is based on estimates and the ultimate losses may vary from such estimates as more information becomes available or conditions change. The Bank assesses the allowance for credit losses and records provisions for credit losses on a quarterly basis.

The Bank recorded a provision for credit losses of $153,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to a recovery for credit losses of $142,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The provision reflected the loan growth during the period as well as updates to model assumptions in the calculation of the Bank's allowance for credit losses. The Bank had no charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and $50,000 of non-performing loans at June 30, 2024 compared to no charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and $220,000 of non-performing loans at March 31, 2024. The Bank's allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.71% at June 30, 2024 compared to 0.72% at March 31, 2024.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income decreased $4.4 million or 852.9%, to a loss of $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from income of $516,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily as a result of a $4.4 million loss on the sale of $35.4 million investment securities during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense decreased $972,000, or 12.8%, to $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, due in part to a $579,000, or 15.9%, decrease in salaries and employee benefits resulting from a credit of $248,000 to the Bank's executive deferred compensation plan liability as well as a decrease in medical expenses for the period. In addition, there was a $243,000, or 25.6%, decrease in data processing expenses and a $133,000, or 37.3%, decrease in professional fees.

Income Tax Expense. The provision for income taxes was $334,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a provision of $292,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Bank's effective tax rate was (12.4)% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 21.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023

Assets. Assets increased $369.4 million, or 56.7%, to $1.02 billion at June 30, 2024 from $651.5 million at June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily the result of the acquisition of Regal Bancorp on September 19, 2023, which had total assets of $430.7 million at the time of the Merger, offset by the repayment of a $20.0 million borrowing as well as a decrease in deposits due to the highly competitive interest rate environment in our market area.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased $3.5 million, or 8.2%, to $45.9 million at June 30, 2024 from $42.4 million at June 30, 2023. The increase was due to the acquisition of Regal Bancorp, which had cash and cash equivalents of $55.3 million at the time of the Merger, and net proceeds of $86.9 million from the Company's initial public offering, offset by the $69.5 million cash consideration paid to acquire Regal Bancorp, a $20.0 million repayment of a borrowing and a decrease in deposits due to the highly competitive interest rate environment in our market area.

Securities. Total securities (securities available-for-sale and securities held-to-maturity) decreased $48.9 million, or 23.6%, to $158.3 million at June 30, 2024 from $207.3 million at June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to sales of $54.6 million of securities.

Loans. Loans receivable, net, increased $369.6 million, or 102.0%, to $731.9 million at June 30, 2024 from $362.3 million at June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Regal Bank's loan portfolio, which totaled $336.0 million at the time of the Merger. Residential mortgage loans totaled $394.7 million, or 53.7%, of total loans as of June 30, 2024, compared to $353.6 million, or 97.8%, of total loans as of June 30, 2023. Commercial real estate loans totaled $314.9 million, or 42.8%, of total loans as of June 30, 2024, compared to $440,000, or 0.1%, of total loans as of June 30, 2023.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Goodwill and intangible assets were $28.1 million at June 30, 2024 due to the goodwill and core deposit intangible premium that was recognized from the Merger that closed on September 19, 2023.

Deposits. Deposits increased $303.2 million, or 60.2%, to $807.1 million at June 30, 2024 from $503.9 million at June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to the assumption of Regal Bank's deposits, which totaled $373.2 million at the time of the Merger offset by a decrease in deposits due to the highly competitive interest rate environment in our market area, despite the Bank having raised rates on certain deposit products in an effort to remain competitive. At June 30, 2024, $108.0 million, or 13.4%, of total deposits consisted of noninterest bearing deposits. At June 30, 2024, $109.7 million, or 13.6%, of total deposits were uninsured.

Borrowings. During the year ended June 30, 2023, the Bank borrowed $20.0 million from the Federal Reserve under the Bank Term Funding Program as a precautionary measure to provide for additional liquidity due to market conditions at that time, which was repaid during the year. At June 30, 2024, there were no outstanding borrowings.

Equity. Equity increased $77.4 million, or 63.4%, to $199.5 million at June 30, 2024 from $122.1 million at June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to the $86.9 million in net proceeds from the Company's initial public offering, offset by the $69.5 million of funds used to acquire Regal Bancorp. Accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased $3.8 million, or 75.8%, to $1.2 million at June 30, 2024 from $5.0 million at June 30, 2023. The decrease was due to the change in net unrealized holding gains or losses on securities available-for-sale, as well as the funded status of the Company's pension plan, as of the consolidated balance sheet dates, net of the related tax effect.
