Stefanski (Photo: Business Wire)\nThe Company reported net income of $17.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 compared to net income of $13.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The improvement when compared to the prior year quarter included an increase in net interest income and lower non-interest expense, partially offset by lower net gain on the sale of loans. Net income of $81.0 million was reported for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 compared to net income of $83.3 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020. A decline in net interest income and higher non-interest expense for the current fiscal year offset the benefit of higher non-interest income and releases from the credit loss provision.\n\n“Even after a year of unprecedented loan activity in 2020, our originations in 2021 were up 20 percent,” said Chairman and CEO, Marc A. Stefanski. “In addition, the credit profile of our current customers, and those with mortgages in the pipeline, has been another source of strength during both this last quarter and our fiscal year.”\n\nLoan origination volumes remained high, as there were $3.63 billion of first mortgage loans originated during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 and $3.08 billion for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020. New equity line of credit commitments were $1.65 billion and $1.23 billion, respectively, for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, $762.3 million of loans were sold for a net gain of $33.1 million compared to $844.3 million sold for a net gain of $28.4 million during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020. By comparison, loan sales were $117.3 million for a gain of $1.9 million during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019.\n\nNet interest income increased $0.3 million, or 0.6%, to $57.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 fro...
