STROUDSBURG, PA / ACCESSWIRE / October 23, 2024 / ESSA Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ:ESSA), the holding company for ESSA Bank & Trust (the "Bank"), a $2.2 billion asset financial institution providing full service commercial and retail banking, asset management and trust, and investment services in eastern Pennsylvania, today announced financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and full year ended September 30, 2024.
Net income was $4.2 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared with $4.6 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Net income was $17.0 million, or $1.78 per diluted share, for the full year ended September 30, 2024, compared with $18.6 million, or $1.91 per diluted share, for the full year ended September 30, 2023.
Gary S. Olson, President and CEO, commented: "The Company's positive earnings results throughout fiscal 2024 reflected efficient and productive operations, a focus on disciplined loan growth, and balance sheet management. Our financial performance drove shareholder value and supported the Company's longstanding practice of approving meaningful quarterly cash dividends to shareholders."
"In a year of high interest rates, economic uncertainty, and moderate loan activity compared to the prior year, maintaining the high quality of loans was a top priority. Through disciplined credit and asset management, we further strengthened measures of asset quality. Ratios of nonperforming loans to total loans and allowance for credit losses to total loans improved. We had negligible loan charge-offs during the year. Solid loan quality contributed to a release of credit loss reserves."
"The Company's financial strength was reflected in a strong capital position, available liquidity and prudent expense management."
"Managing interest expense in light of the high-rate environment was a significant challenge throughout the Company's fiscal year. Although interest expense increased significantly in year over year comparisons, prompt adjustments to rates on loans contributed to expanded interest income and higher yields on earning assets that partially offset higher interest expense and helped mitigate margin compression."
"Entering a new fiscal year, positive economic trends and the prospect of decreasing interest rates increases our confidence that there will be both loan and deposit growth opportunities. We are financially and operationally well positioned to meet the financial needs of the individuals and businesses in the communities we serve."
FISCAL FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR OF 2024 HIGHLIGHTS
Sound, efficient operations drove a return on average assets (ROAA) of 0.77% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 0.78% for the year ended September 30, 2024.
Continued earnings strength and shareholder value growth was reflected in return on average equity (ROAE) of 7.28% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 7.58% for the year ended September 30, 2024.
Total interest income in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $26.1 million compared with $25.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. For the year ended September 30, 2024, total interest income rose to $103.5 million from $85.5 million for the year ended September 30, 2023, primarily reflecting asset growth and higher yields on earning assets.
Net interest income after provision for credit losses was $14.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared with $15.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Net interest income after provision for credit losses was $59.6 million for the year ended September 30, 2024, compared with $60.9 million for the year ended September 30, 2023. Both periods of 2024 reflected releases of credit loss provisions.
Total net loans at September 30, 2024, were $1.74 billion, up 3.8% from $1.68 billion a year earlier, reflecting strong originations in commercial real estate, residential mortgage and home equity loans together with slower prepayment speeds due to higher interest rates.
Lending activity was highlighted by 7.6% growth in commercial real estate loans to $884.6 million at September 30, 2024, from $822.0 million at September 30, 2023. During the same period, the residential mortgage portfolio increased 1.2% to $721.5 million from $713.3 million.

Total deposits were $1.63 billion at September 30, 2024, with lower-cost core deposits comprising 64.3% of total deposits. Uninsured deposits were 30% of total deposits at September 30, 2024, including approximately $204.9 million of fully collateralized municipal deposits.
The Bank continued to demonstrate financial strength, with a Tier 1 capital ratio of 10.01% at September 30, 2024.
Total stockholders' equity increased to $230.4 million at September 30, 2024, compared with $219.7 million at September 30, 2023. Tangible book value per share at September 30, 2024, rose to $21.40 from $19.80 at September 30, 2023.
Fiscal Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Income Statement Review
Total interest income was $26.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with $25.1 million a year earlier, reflecting asset growth and an increase in the total yield on average interest earning assets to 5.04% from 4.79%. Total interest income was $103.5 million for the full fiscal year of 2024 compared with $85.5 million a year earlier, reflecting asset growth and an increase in the total yield on average interest earning assets to 4.98% from 4.51%.
Interest expense was $11.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared with $9.5 million for the same period in 2023, reflecting increased interest rates on deposits and short-term borrowings. The Company's cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.83% in the fiscal 2024 fourth quarter compared with 2.26% for the same quarter in fiscal 2023.
Interest expense was $45.2 million for the full year of 2024, compared with $23.9 million for the same period in 2023. The Company's cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.70% in fiscal 2024 compared with 1.61% in fiscal 2023. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased to $179.8 million for the full year of fiscal 2024, compared to the same period in fiscal 2023.
Net interest income after the (release of) provision for credit losses in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $14.5 million, compared with $15.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. There was a $120,000 release of credit loss in the 2024 fiscal fourth quarter compared to a provision of $250,000 for the same quarter in 2023. The release was primarily driven by a decrease in expected credit losses in the loan portfolio, including unfunded commitments. Net interest income after the (release of) provision for credit losses for the full year of 2024 was $59.6 million, down from $60.9 million for the full year of 2023. There was a $1.4 million release of credit loss in the 2024 fiscal year compared to a provision of $700,000 for the full year of 2023, primarily driven by a decrease in expected credit losses in the loan portfolio, including unfunded loan commitments.
The net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 2.79% compared with 2.97% for the comparable period of fiscal 2023. The net interest margin for the full year of 2024 was 2.80% compared with 3.24% for the comparable period of fiscal 2023.
Noninterest income was $2.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared with $2.0 million a year earlier. A decrease in fee income was more than offset by an increase in earnings on bank-owned life insurance. Noninterest income was $8.2 million for the full year of 2024 compared with $7.9 million for the full year of 2023. A decrease in fee income was more than offset by increases in gains from the sale of loans, earnings on bank-owned life insurance and other income.
Noninterest expense for the fourth quarters of 2024 and 2023 was $11.5 million, respectively. Decreases in professional fees and foreclosed real estate expenses were offset by increases in compensation and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment and data processing expense. Noninterest expense for the full year of 2024 was $46.9 million compared to $45.7 million for the full year of 2023. The increase was due primarily to increases in compensation and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, data processing and FDIC insurance partially offset by a decline in professional fees.
Balance Sheet, Asset Quality and Capital Adequacy Review
Total assets were $2.2 billion at September 30, 2024, compared with $2.3 billion at September 30, 2023. The decrease of $105.5 million, or 4.6%, primarily reflects decreases in investments securities available for sale, and total cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by growth in total net loans outstanding.
Investment securities available for sale at September 30, 2024 decreased by $118.2 million compared to September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the maturity of short-term U.S. Treasury securities used in 2023 to collateralize public deposits. Similar deposits in 2024 were collateralized with letters of credit from the FHLBANK Pittsburgh.
Total net loans were $1.74 billion at September 30, 2024, up from $1.68 billion at September 30, 2023. Residential real estate loans were $721.5 million at September 30, 2024, compared with $713.3 million at September 30, 2023. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 the Company sold $19.8 million in mortgages.
Commercial real estate loans increased to $884.6 million at September 30, 2024, compared with $822.0 million at September 30, 2023. Commercial loans (primarily commercial and industrial) were $36.8 million compared with $48.1 million at September 30, 2023. Loans to states and political subdivisions were $48.6 million at September 30, 2024, compared to $48.1 million at September 30, 2023.
Nonperforming assets were $12.8 million, or 0.58% of total assets at September 30, 2024, compared to $14.4 million, or 0.63% at September 30, 2023. The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 0.87% at September 30, 2024, compared to 1.09% at September 30, 2023.
Total deposits were $1.63 billion at September 30, 2024, compared with $1.66 billion at September 30, 2023. Core deposits (demand, savings and money market accounts) were $1.05 billion, or 64.3% of total deposits, at September 30, 2024, compared to $1.16 billion, or 69.7% of total deposits at September 30, 2023. Noninterest bearing demand accounts at September 30, 2024 were $256.6 million, down 8.5% from September 30, 2023. Interest bearing demand accounts declined 9.8% to $312.7 million. Money market accounts were $334.6 million at September 30, 2024, down 8.8% from September 30, 2023. Certificates of deposit increased $78.1 million, or 15.5% to $582.1 million at September 30, 2024, compared to September 30, 2023. Included in the certificates of deposit are $252.0 million in brokered certificates of deposit. Total borrowings decreased to $290.0 million at September 30, 2024, from $374.7 million at September 30, 2023.
The Bank maintained a strong capital position with a Tier 1 capital ratio of 10.01% at September 30, 2024, exceeding regulatory standards for a well-capitalized institution. Total stockholders' equity increased $10.7 million to $230.4 million at September 30, 2024, from $219.7 million at September 30, 2023, primarily reflecting net income and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss, offset in part by dividends paid to shareholders and the repurchase of common stock. Tangible book value per share at September 30, 2024, was $21.40 compared to $19.80 at September 30, 2023.
