· Issued by Optimumbank Holdings, Inc. via GlobeNewswire

Fort Lauderdale, FL, Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OptimumBank Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: OPHC) (the “Company”) is a one-bank holding company and owns 100% of OptimumBank (the “Bank”). The Company is pleased to announce net earnings of $3.60 million, or $0.31 per basic share, and $0.29 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025. This compares to net income of $3.87 million, or $0.33 per basic share, and $0.32 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025, and $3.50 million net earnings, or $0.36 per basic share, and $0.34 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net earnings was $7.47 million, or $0.64 per basic share, and $0.61 per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $5.87 million, or $0.68 per basic share, and $0.66 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase of $1.6 million in earnings for the six-month ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily driven by a $3.18 million improvement in net interest income and $0.63 million in noninterest income, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expenses and income taxes. The decline in diluted earnings per share is the result of the average increase in both common and preferred shares by 3,351,368 shares.

The Company has demonstrated continued progress during the second quarter of 2025. Total deposits grew by $25.93 million from March 31, 2025, reaching $878.87 million at June 30, 2025, reflecting an annualized growth rate of approximately 12.16%. This also represents a growth of $116.22 million in total deposits since the second quarter of 2024.

“We are proud to report strong and resilient performance during the second quarter of 2025,” said Moishe Gubin, Chairman of the Board. “While industry headwinds continue, our team at OptimumBank delivered meaningful core earnings through disciplined deposit pricing, targeted growth in consumer and multi-family lending, and improved operating leverage. Although overall loan balances declined this quarter due to the payoff of older, lower-yielding loans, we remain well positioned to redeploy capital into higher-return opportunities. Our results demonstrate our ability to manage a growing asset base while maintaining solid credit quality and capital strength.”

Net interest income increased to $10.24 million, up $0.8 million from the first quarter of 2025 and $1.50 million from the second quarter of 2024, supported by higher yields on loans and other earning assets and lower costs on interest-bearing liabilities. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities improved to 3.49%, down from 3.59% in the first quarter, while interest-earning asset yields expanded to 6.57%. The Company’s net interest margin rose to 4.32%, a reflection of disciplined deposit pricing strategy and balance sheet optimization.

Noninterest income grew to $1.83 million, a quarterly increase of $0.6 million, driven by increases in gains on sales of government guaranteed loans and loan prepayment fees. Noninterest expenses increased to $6.18 million, primarily due to higher staffing and infrastructure investments supporting long-term scalability. The Company maintained an efficiency ratio of 51.18%, consistent with prudent cost management amid balance sheet expansion.

Credit loss expense increased to $1.04 million, largely due to a specific reserve booked on an individual commercial loan. Gross charge-offs remained modest at $72,000, while recoveries totaled $97,000, resulting in net recoveries of $25,000, reflecting a well-managed and granular loan portfolio. The allowance for credit losses stood at $9.34 million as of June 30, 2025, or 1.19% of total loans.

Loan portfolio dynamics were mixed in the second quarter of 2025. Gross loans decreased by $15.68 million, primarily due to the payoff of several loans and the resolution of a $5.60 million nonperforming loan. Consumer and multi-family segments continued to expand, growing by $7.99 million and $4.71 million, respectively. These gains were offset by a $19.21 million decline in land and construction loans and a $5.04 million decline in residential real estate loans, consistent with the stabilization of and migration of construction to permanent loans status and other evolving market conditions. This shift provides an opportunity to redeploy capital into potentially higher-yielding segments of the portfolio.

On the funding side, total deposits increased by $25.93 million to $878.87 million from the first quarter of 2025, while core noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased to $259.82 million. The Company also significantly reduced its average borrowings from $32.22 million in the first quarter to $2.22 million in the second quarter, reinforcing its emphasis on core funding and balance sheet strength.

Capital levels remain strong, with a Tier 1 Capital to Total Assets of 11.89%, well above regulatory minimums. The Company remains well positioned to support continued growth and earnings momentum through the remainder of 2025.

The Company’s outlook remains constructive. The Company continues to invest in technology, talent, and targeted growth strategies that reinforce its position as one of the most dynamic and rapidly growing community banks in South Florida. We remain grateful for the trust and partnership of our shareholders, customers, and employees.

Financial Results

Statement of Earnings

Net earnings was $3.60 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to net earnings of $3.87 million for the first quarter of 2025, and $3.50 million for the second quarter of 2024. The decrease from the first quarter of 2025 was primarily due to a credit loss expense of $1.04 million, compared to a reversal of $0.2 million in the first quarter. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, net earnings increased by approximately $0.1 million.

Total interest income was $15.59 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $15.01 million in the first quarter of 2025 and $15.19 million in the second quarter of 2024. The sequential increase was driven by both a $6.33 million rise in average loan balances and a higher loan yield, which increased from 6.83% to 6.99% and higher average balances in interest-earning deposits with banks. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, the increase was primarily due to a $49.45 million increase in average loan balances and a rise in loan yield from 6.87% to 6.99%.

Interest expense
totaled $5.35 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $5.58 million for the first quarter of 2025 and $6.45 million for the second quarter of 2024. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the decrease in interest expense was primarily attributable to a 10 basis points decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, from 3.59% to 3.49%, largely driven by the continued in the cost of time deposits due to repricing and the repayment of borrowings, which declined from $32.22 million in average balance in the first quarter of 2025 to just $2.22 million in the second quarter of 2025. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, the decrease in interest expense was substantial, primarily due to a 57 basis points decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, from 4.06% to 3.49% and a significant reduction in average borrowings outstanding. This reduction in funding costs in conjunction with the growth in total deposits and reflects disciplined deposit pricing and management of funding sources.

Net interest income was $10.24 million in the second quarter of 2025, up from $9.43 million in the first quarter of 2025 and $8.74 million in the second quarter of 2024. The quarter-over-quarter increase was driven by higher yields on earning assets, particularly loans, where average yields improved by 11 basis points, as well as growth in the average loan portfolio. A modest decrease in funding costs also contributed to the improvement. On a year-over-year basis, the increase in net interest income was primarily attributable to a $69.81 million rise in average loan balances and a 12 basis points increase in loan yields, further supported by lower funding costs.

Net interest margin expanded to 4.32% for the second quarter of 2025, compared to 4.06% and 3.79% for the first and second quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, net interest margin increased by 26 basis points, principally driven by improved yields on interest-earning assets (up from 6.46% to 6.57%) combined with decrease in interest-bearing liabilities cost (down from 3.59% to 3.49%). Compared to the second quarter of 2024, net interest margin expanded by 53 basis points, primarily attributable to a significant decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities and an increase in total earning assets yields.

The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 3.49% in the second quarter of 2025, down from 3.59% in the first quarter of 2025 and down from 4.06% in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease from the first quarter of 2025 was primarily due to continued repricing in the time deposit portfolio, coupled with a notable reduction in borrowings outstanding during the quarter. Compared to the same quarter last year, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased substantially by 57 basis points. This improvement in funding costs reflects effective balance sheet management, including disciplined deposit pricing and a reduced reliance on higher-cost borrowings, allowing the Company to optimize its funding mix amidst ongoing competitive pressures and industry-wide shifts in deposit behavior.

Credit loss expense (reversal) was $1.04 million during the second quarter of 2025, compared to a reversal of $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2025, and an expense of $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2024. The increase in credit loss expense from the first quarter was primarily attributable to estimated collectability on a loan individually analyzed. Gross charge-offs remained modest at $72,000, while recoveries totaled $97,000, resulting in net recoveries of $25,000 during the second quarter of 2025. The Company’s allowance for credit losses stood at $9.34 million, or 1.19% of total loans, as of June 30, 2025.  

Noninterest income totaled $1.83 million for the second quarter of 2025, up from $1.23 million in the prior quarter and $1.20 million in the second quarter of 2024. The quarter-over-quarter increase of $0.6 million was primarily driven by growth in other income, which increased by $0.5 million to $0.7 million. This increase is primarily attributed to higher gains on sales of government guaranteed loans and loan prepayment fees. Compared to the same quarter last year, the $0.63 million increase in noninterest income was largely due to higher gains on sales of government guaranteed loans, higher service charges and fee-based revenue, supported by expanded deposit relationships and increased transaction volumes.

Noninterest expenses totaled $6.18 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $5.63 million in the first quarter of 2025 and $5.08 million in the second quarter of 2024. The quarter-over-quarter increase of $0.55 million was primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits, which increased by $0.36 million to $3.74 million from $3.38 million in the prior quarter, reflecting staff growth and seasonal compensation. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, the increase of $1.10 million was driven by the same staffing-related trends, as well as increases in occupancy, data processing, and other operating expenses, as the Company continued investing in infrastructure and growth initiatives.

Income tax expense
was $1.25 million for the second quarter of 2025, down slightly from $1.33 million in the first quarter of 2025 and $1.17 million in the second quarter of 2024. The effective tax rate for the quarter was 25.8%, compared to 25.5% in the prior quarter and 25.0% from the prior year comparative quarter. The slight increase in the effective tax rate was attributable to shifts in the mix of taxable income and fewer discrete tax benefits during the quarter.

Balance Sheet

Total assets were $999.13 million as of June 30, 2025, increasing from $977.47 million at March 31, 2025, and up from $899.78 million at June 30, 2024. The quarter-over-quarter growth of $21.66 million was primarily attributable to a $43.01 million rise in interest-bearing deposits with banks. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in cash and due from banks, and a $16.68 million decline in net loans.  

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2025, was $181.75 million, up significantly from $143.46 million at March 31, 2025, and up from $104.06 million at June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by the growth in interest-bearing deposits with banks.

Investment securities (debt securities available for sale and held-to-maturity) at June 30, 2025, were $22.64 million, compared to $23.31 million at March 31, 2025, and $23.86 million at June 30, 2024. Compared to March 31, 2025, investment securities decreased by $0.67 million, and compared to June 30, 2024, decreased by $1.22 million. No sales of debt securities were reported during these periods.

Total gross loans at June 30, 2025, were $784.56 million, a decrease from $800.24 million at March 31, 2025, but up from $761.07 million at June 30, 2024. Gross loans decreased during the quarter due to larger pay off experience in the quarter and the resolution of a $5.6 million nonperforming loan. Compared to June 30, 2024, the gross loan portfolio increased by $23.49 million, reflecting growth over the past year.

The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) was $9.34 million as of June 30, 2025, representing 1.19% of total loans, increasing from 1.03% at March 31, 2025, and up from $8.27 million and $8.21 million at March 31, 2025, and June 30, 2024, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter increase of $1.07 million was primarily driven by a credit loss expense of $1.04 million during the second quarter of 2025, reflecting estimated collectability on a loan individually analyzed and updates to forward-looking loss assumptions. The increase was further supported by net recoveries of $25,000, as gross charge-offs remained modest at $72,000 and recoveries totaled $97,000. The ACL ratio reflects continued credit discipline and a well-diversified loan portfolio.

Nonaccrual loans
totaled $3.22 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $7.51 million at March 31, 2025, and $2.78 million at June 30, 2024. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily due to the resolution of a nonaccrual land and construction loan. There were no loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest as of June 30, 2025. Additionally, the Company did not report any modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the second quarter of 2025.  

Nonperforming assets (NPA) reflected strong asset quality at June 30, 2025. Nonaccrual loans, a key component of NPA, decreased to $3.22 million from $7.58 million at December 31, 2024. Furthermore, the Company reported no real estate owned (OREO) outstanding.

Total deposits at June 30, 2025, were $878.87 million, an increase from $852.93 million at March 31, 2025, and from $762.65 million at June 30, 2024. The increase from March 31, 2025, was attributable to increases in noninterest-bearing demand deposits and savings, NOW and money-market deposits, partially offset by a decrease in time deposits. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits notably rose from $235.78 million to $259.82 million. Noninterest-bearing deposits accounted for 29.56% of total deposits at June 30, 2025, compared to 27.64% at March 31, 2025 and 30.28% at June 30, 2024. The Company continues to maintain a diverse and stable funding base.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL) was $(5.41) million at June 30, 2025. This compares to $(5.15) million at March 31, 2025, and $(5.45) million at June 30, 2024. The unrealized loss in AOCL widened by $(0.26) million quarter-over-quarter, primarily due to adverse movements in long-term interest rates impacting the fair value of available-for-sale securities, as the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $(0.34 million) on these securities during the period. Year-over-year, AOCL slightly narrowed by $0.04 million, reflecting the net impact of fair value changes over the trailing twelve months. All AOCL amounts represent unrealized losses and have no impact on reported earnings.

Shareholders’ equity was $111.35 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $108.00 million as of March 31, 2025, and $86.97 million as of June 30, 2024. The quarter increase was principally attributable to second quarter net earnings of $3.60 million, partially offset by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss and a slight decrease in additional paid-in capital.

Tangible book value per share at June 30, 2025, was $9.48, up from $9.19 at March 31, 2025, and $8.99 at June 30, 2024. This non-diluted measure is based on common shares outstanding, which were 11,751,082 at June 30, 2025 (unchanged from March 31, 2025, and up from 9,677,431 at June 30, 2024).

However, while GAAP accounting generally presents book value based on common shares outstanding, the Company believes a more comprehensive measure of shareholder value, particularly given its capital structure, is on a fully diluted basis. This is because its preferred shares convert without accumulating a coupon, essentially acting as nonvoting common equity.

On a fully diluted basis, tangible book value per share was $4.76 at June 30, 2025, up from $4.62 at March 31, 2025, and $4.08 at June 30, 2024. This is based on fully diluted shares outstanding of 23,390,612 at June 30, 2025 (unchanged from March 31, 2025, and up from 21,316,961 at June 30, 2024).

The increase in both non-diluted and fully diluted tangible book value per share reflects strong quarterly earnings performance and overall capital strength. The Bank remains well capitalized with a Tier 1 Capital to Total Assets ratio of 11.89%, which is well above regulatory minimums.

Explanation of Certain Unaudited Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This presentation contains financial information determined by methods other than Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance and believes these presentations provide useful supplemental information, and a clearer understanding of the Company’s performance. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures enhance investors’ understanding of the Company’s business and performance and if not provided would be requested by the investor community. These measures are also useful in understanding performance trends and facilitate comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. The limitations associated with operating measures are the risk that persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items comprising these measures and that different companies might define or calculate these measures differently. The Company provides reconciliations between GAAP and these non-GAAP measures. These disclosures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.
