Oregon Pacific Bancorp Announces Second Quarter 2024 Earnings Results

· Issued by Oregon Pacific Bancorp via Business Wire

Oregon Pacific Bancorp (ORPB), the holding company of Oregon Pacific Bank, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended, June 30, 2024.

Highlights:

  • Second quarter net income of $1.9 million; $0.26 per diluted share.
  • Quarterly tax equivalent net interest margin of 3.65%.
  • Quarterly cost of funds of 1.30%.
  • Quarterly loan growth of $12.1 million or 8.80% annualized.

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, was $1.9 million, or $0.26 per diluted share compared to $1.6 million or $0.22 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. “We are pleased with the growth in our core earnings,” said Ron Green, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Expansion of our net interest margin coupled with growth in noninterest income centered around our trust, Oregon Pacific Wealth Management investment advisory services and mortgage income continue to trend positively. We remain uniquely positioned to offer these additional services and are optimistic about future opportunities for the Bank to attract clients who desire the traditional community banking model.”

During the quarter the Bank’s net interest margin expanded to 3.65%, up from 3.59% in the first quarter. The expansion was primarily driven by an increase in the asset yields, which grew from 4.88% in the first quarter of 2024 to 5.03% in the second quarter of 2024. This occurred in part due to the shift in asset mix as investment securities matured and shifted into higher yielding loans and fed funds, with that increase more than offsetting the growth in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

Period-end loans, net of deferred loan origination fees, totaled $563 million, representing quarterly growth of $12.1 million, or 8.80% annualized. The second quarter loan yield grew to 5.43%, representing an increase of 0.13% over the prior quarter as new loan production continued to occur at a rate higher than the existing portfolio yield. Quarterly loan production for new and renewed loans totaled $31.6 million, with a weighted average effective rate of 7.50% and a weighted-average repricing life of 4.22 years.

During the second quarter ended June 30, 2024, the bank experienced an increase in classified assets, defined as loans and loan contingent liabilities internally graded substandard or worse, impaired loans, adversely classified securities and other real estate owned, totaling $2 million. This occurred primarily due to the downgrade of one commercial and industrial lending relationship, totaling $2 million, into substandard classification. The company is a manufacturer that has been impacted by a slowdown in the RV industry but is shifting focus onto non-RV related industries while working to reduce expenses. The relationship is comprised of three loans secured by business assets and is monitored monthly. All three loans continue to pay as agreed and no losses are currently anticipated.

During the quarter, the Bank recorded a recovery of $91 thousand, attributable to a residential real estate loan which was charged off in 2011. In addition to the recovery, the Bank also recorded a $141 thousand provision for credit losses, which resulted in a quarterly increase in the allowance for credit losses of $232 thousand. The increase was primarily attributable to quarterly loan growth.

Period-end deposits totaled $677.5 million and represented quarterly contraction of $18.0 million. While the balances contracted on a quarterly basis, total deposits still reflect growth of $17.0 million since December 31, 2023. The Bank’s cost of funds experienced a small increase to 1.30%, up from 1.20% in the first quarter. The Bank is continuing to evaluate deposit pricing and will likely see quarterly increases in cost of funds based on competitive rate pressures to retain deposits.

Noninterest income totaled $2.0 million during the second quarter 2024 and represented growth of $171 thousand from first quarter 2024. The largest increase occurred in the trust fee income category, which grew $37 thousand from the prior quarter. This increase was primarily tied to growth in Assets Under Management, which increased $12.2 million as the Bank continues to onboard new trust clients. The Bank also experienced growth of $63 thousand in the other income category compared to the first quarter 2024. This growth was partially attributable to a one-time incentive payment of $34 thousand through Visa associated with our debit card processing. This payment is not anticipated to be received in future periods. During the second quarter 2024 noninterest expense totaled $6.1 million, representing a decrease of $130 thousand from the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The largest expense fluctuation occurred in the outside services category as the cost of the financial statement audit in the first quarter of $69 thousand was not repeated during the second quarter.
