Income Statement Summary
Net interest income before the provision for/(recovery of) credit losses increased $433,000, or 4.6%, to $9.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $9.4 million in the third quarter of 2024, and increased $535,000, or 5.7%, from $9.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase from the third quarter of 2024 was due to a 10 basis point increase in the average interest rate spread and a $6.9 million increase in average net earning assets. The increase from the comparable quarter in 2023 was due to a $12.2 million increase in average net earning assets, partially offset by a three basis point decrease in the average interest rate spread. From September 18, 2024 through the end of the year, the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve System reduced the target range for the federal funds rate by a total of 100 basis points to a range of 4.25% to 4.50%. This series of decreases contributed to a slightly lower cost of interest-bearing deposits and borrowings, which typically have shorter durations and re-price or reset faster than assets.
Interest income increased $409,000, or 2.0%, to $20.7 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2024, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2024, and increased $2.1 million, or 11.2%, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2023.
Interest income on loans and leases increased $393,000, or 2.2%, to $18.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, compared to $18.1 million in the third quarter of 2024, due to a $2.0 million increase in the average balance of loans and leases, and an increase of 12 basis points to 6.39% in the average yield earned on loans and leases. Interest income on loans and leases increased $2.2 million, or 13.8%, in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, due to an increase in the average balance of loans and leases of $61.3 million and an increase of 46 basis points in the average yield earned on loans and leases.
Interest income on investment securities, excluding FHLB stock, decreased $59,000, or 3.5%, to $1.6 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2024, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2024, and decreased $153,000, or 8.5%, from the comparable quarter in 2023. The decrease compared to the third quarter of 2024 was due to a $3.7 million decrease in the average balance and a five basis point decrease in the average yield earned on investment securities. The decrease compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 was due to a $2.9 million decrease in the average balance and a 20 basis point decrease in the average yield earned on investment securities. Dividends on FHLB stock decreased $18,000, or 6.0%, to $284,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2024 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2024, due to a 52 basis point decrease in average yield on FHLB stock, and decreased $11,000, or 3.7%, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2023, due to a 176 basis point decrease in the average yield on FHLB stock, partially offset by a $2.0 million increase in the average balance. Interest income on cash and cash equivalents increased $93,000, or 49.6%, during the quarter ended December 31, 2024, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2024, and increased $21,000, or 8.0%, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2023. The increase in interest income on cash and cash equivalents in the fourth quarter of 2024 from the third quarter of 2024 was due to a 32 basis point decrease in the average yield, partially offset by a $9.6 million increase in the average balance. The increase in interest income on cash and cash equivalents in the fourth quarter of 2024 from the fourth quarter of 2023 was due to a $3.3 million increase in the average balance, partially offset by a 29 basis point decrease in the average yield.
Interest expense decreased $24,000, or 0.2%, to $10.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2024, and increased $1.6 million, or 16.8%, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2023. Interest expense on deposits increased $21,000, or 0.3%, to $8.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, compared to the previous quarter and increased $1.4 million, or 20.7%, from the comparable quarter in 2023. The increase from the previous quarter was primarily due to a $1.6 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits. The increase from the comparable quarter in 2023 was due to an increase of $58.3 million in average balance of, and a 40 basis point increase in the average rate paid on, interest-bearing deposits. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was 3.33% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, compared to 3.33% and 2.93% for the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Interest expense on FHLB borrowings decreased $45,000, or 1.8%, to $2.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the previous quarter and increased $123,000, or 5.3%, from the comparable quarter in 2023. The decrease from the previous quarter was primarily due to a $565,000 decrease in the average balance of FHLB borrowings, and a seven basis point decrease in the average rate paid. The increase from the comparable quarter in 2023 was primarily due to an increase of 30 basis points in the average rate paid on FHLB borrowings, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of FHLB borrowings of $6.8 million. The average balance of FHLB borrowings totaled $244.2 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2024, compared to $244.8 million and $251.0 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The average rate paid on FHLB borrowings was 4.01% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, 4.08% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, and 3.71% for the fourth quarter of 2023.
Annualized net interest margin increased to 2.70% for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 2.60% for the third quarter of 2024, and 2.67% for the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase in the net interest margin was primarily due to greater increases in the average balances of our interest-earning assets as compared to our interest-bearing liabilities.
A provision for credit losses of $196,000 was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to a reversal of the provision for credit losses of $99,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, and a provision for credit losses of $304,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. Net charge-offs during the fourth quarter of 2024 were $286,000, compared to $464,000 during the third quarter of 2024 and $241,000 during the fourth quarter of 2023. The reversal of provision for credit losses during the previous quarter was due to the availability of increased details within certain loan categories, which allowed for more precise risk profiling. Additionally, macroeconomic inputs, credit metrics, and refreshed loss driver data were updated to further refine our allowance calculation.
Noninterest income decreased $133,000, or 10.1%, to $1.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2024, and increased $13,000, or 1.1%, from the comparable quarter in 2023. The decrease in noninterest income from the third quarter of 2024 primarily resulted from a decrease in net gains on loan and lease sales, which decreased $77,000, or 36.6%, to $134,000 in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the prior quarter. Other income decreased $52,000, or 14.7%, to $302,000 in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to $354,000 in the previous quarter due to expenses associated with our captive insurance company. Loan and lease servicing fees decreased $40,000, or 32.6%, to $82,000 in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the prior quarter due to a decrease in loan participation income. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in card fee income of $42,000, or 14.0%, to $344,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the prior quarter, due to contract income from our credit card provider, and increased account activity during the holiday season. The increase in noninterest income from the comparable quarter in 2023 was primarily due to an increase in net gains on loan and lease sales and service charges on deposit accounts, partially offset by a decrease in loan and lease servicing fees and other income. Net gains on loan and lease sales increased $15,000, or 12.7%, compared to the same quarter in 2023, due to increased mortgage banking activity. Service fees on deposit accounts increased $47,000, or 16.5%, in the fourth quarter of 2024 from the comparable quarter in 2023, due to higher transaction activity and early withdraw fees, coupled with year-over-year deposit growth. Loan and lease servicing fees decreased $25,000, or 23.0%, compared to the same quarter in 2023. Other income decreased $14,000, or 4.4%, for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, compared to the comparable quarter in 2023.
Total noninterest expense decreased $89,000, or 1.1%, to $7.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to the third quarter of 2024, and decreased $102,000 compared to the same period in 2023. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $60,000, or 1.3%, to $4.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, compared to the third quarter of 2024, and decreased $26,000 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in salaries and benefits from the third quarter of 2024 was primarily a result of employee retirements in the third and fourth quarters of 2024. Deposit insurance expense decreased $12,500, or 3.3% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, compared to the third quarter of 2024, and decreased $156,000, or 29.7%, from the comparable quarter in 2023 primarily due to changes in the asset and deposit mix. Legal and professional fees decreased $18,000, or 3.8%, to $446,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, compared to the third quarter of 2024 and increased $43,000, or 10.6%, from the comparable quarter in 2023 primarily due to increased professional services expense related to support agreements and product enhancements with our core provider. Other expenses decreased $33,000, or 3.6%, in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the prior quarter, and decreased $12,000, or 1.4%, compared to the same quarter of 2023. The decrease in other expenses from the prior quarter primarily was due to a reduction in losses due to fraud, and decreases in franchise tax expense as a result of adjustments made with end-of-year tax filings.
Income tax expense increased $90,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2024, and increased $225,000 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2023, due to an increased effective tax rate. The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 15.7%, compared to 13.0% and 10.8% in the third quarter of 2024 and the fourth quarter a year ago, respectively. The increase in effective tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to the expiration and write-off of certain charitable contribution carryforwards.
Balance Sheet Summary
Total assets increased $44.3 million, or 3.0%, to $1.5 billion at December 31, 2024 as compared to December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily the result of a $68.8 million, or 6.3%, increase in loans and leases, net of allowance for credit losses, to $1.2 billion, partially offset by a $25.9 million, or 9.0%, decrease in investment securities to $261.7 million at December 31, 2024.
The increase in loans and leases was attributable to an increase in multi-family loans, commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, and residential mortgage loans of $47.1 million, $30.1 million, $10.9 million and $10.5 million, respectively.
Nonperforming loans and leases, consisting of nonaccrual loans and leases and accruing loans and leases more than 90 days past due, totaled $6.8 million, or 0.58% of total loans and leases, at December 31, 2024, compared to $8.0 million, or 0.72%, at December 31, 2023. Accruing loans past due more than 90 days totaled $1.7 million at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases increased $128,000, or 0.8%, to $15.8 million at December 31, 2024 from $15.7 million at December 31, 2023. At December 31, 2024 the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases totaled 1.34% of total loans and leases outstanding, compared to 1.42% at December 31, 2023. Net charge-offs during 2024 were $1.5 million, compared to net charge-offs of $678,000 during 2023.
Management regularly analyzes conditions within its geographic markets and evaluates its loan and lease portfolio. The Company evaluated its exposure to potential credit losses as of December 31, 2024, which included consideration of a potential recession due to inflation, stock market volatility, and overall geopolitical tensions. Credit metrics are being reviewed and stress testing is being performed on the loan portfolio on an ongoing basis.
Investment securities decreased $25.9 million, or 9.0%, to $261.7 million at December 31, 2024 compared to $287.6 million at December 31, 2023. Investment securities decreased primarily due to $22.1 million in maturities and principal repayments and the sale of $6.9 million of available-for-sale securities. The proceeds received from maturities, repayments, and sales of securities were used to fund loan growth.
Total deposits increased $52.8 million, or 5.1%, to $1.1 billion at December 31, 2024, compared to December 31, 2023. The increase in deposits from December 31, 2023 primarily was due to an increase in savings and money-market accounts of $44.5 million, and non-brokered time deposits of $40.3 million, which were used primarily to fund loan demand, partially offset by a decrease in demand deposit accounts of $20.8 million and brokered time deposits of $11.3 million. Brokered time deposits totaled $257.6 million, or 23.5% of total deposits, at December 31, 2024, compared to $268.8 million, or 25.8% of total deposits at December 31, 2023. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased $4.3 million to $110.1 million at December 31, 2024 compared to $114.4 million at December 31, 2023, and totaled 10.1% of total deposits at December 31, 2024. Management attributes the shift in funds from transaction accounts to retail certificates of deposit, which primarily occurred during the first nine months of 2024, to customers taking advantage of higher rates being paid on time deposits as a result of interest rate hikes enacted by the Federal Reserve.
As of December 31, 2024, approximately $248.1 million of our deposit portfolio, or 22.7% of total deposits, excluding collateralized public deposits, was uninsured. The uninsured amounts are estimated based on the methodologies and assumptions used for First Bank Richmond's regulatory reporting requirements.
Stockholders' equity totaled $132.9 million at December 31, 2024, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 1.5%, from December 31, 2023. The decrease in stockholders' equity primarily was the result of the payment of $5.7 million in dividends to Company stockholders and the repurchase of $5.0 million of Company common stock, partially offset by net income of $9.4 million.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2024, the Company repurchased a total of 133,858 shares of Company common stock at an average price of $13.95 per share. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately 472,944 shares available for repurchase under its existing stock repurchase program. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company repurchased an additional 30,601 shares.
