Oregon Pacific Bank Announces Third Quarter 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 third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Highlights:

  • Third quarter net income of $2.3 million; $0.33 per diluted share.
  • Quarterly loan growth of $21.1 million.
  • Quarterly deposit growth of $70.0 million.
  • Quarterly tax equivalent net interest margin of 3.54%

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, was $2.3 million, or $0.33 per diluted share compared to $2.0 million, or $0.29 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The Bank processed forgiveness on the last PPP loan during the second quarter of 2022, so there was no PPP income recorded during the third quarter, compared to $1.1 million recorded during the third quarter of 2021.

“We are proud to see the third quarter financial results,” said Ron Green, President and CEO. “This is the first quarter without PPP fee income, and we are pleased that growth in traditional loan income has nearly offset the PPP income shortfall.”

Period-end loans, net of deferred loan origination fees, totaled $456.6 million, representing quarterly growth of $21.1 million, and year-to-date non-PPP growth of $68.4 million. This represents an annualized growth rate of 23.57%. The Bank continued to experience loan demand, but competition remains strong. The third quarter yield on non-PPP loans totaled 4.50%, an increase of 0.17% over the prior quarter. The yield in second quarter was lower due to the payoff of a USDA guaranteed loan, which was purchased at a premium during 2017. This resulted in the expense of $47 thousand for the remaining purchase premium. Without the prepayment, the effective yield on the non-PPP loan portfolio would have been 4.38%. This reflects a linked quarter increase in loan yield from second quarter to third quarter, excluding amortization of the USDA payoff, of 0.12%.

During the quarter the Bank saw a decrease in classified assets totaling $515 thousand, bringing the classified asset ratio to 5.81% as of September 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily attributable to a payoff of one residential loan relationship. The Bank also funded provision for loan loss expense of $209 thousand, which was largely the result of loan growth experienced during the quarter, as credit metrics including nonaccrual loan totals and past due totals remain strong.

Deposit growth totaled $70.1 million during the third quarter. Included in the third quarter deposit growth was approximately $48.6 million in deposits that migrated from off-balance sheet holdings with IntraFi Network, into on-balance sheet reciprocal balances. The migration occurred toward the end of the quarter and did not significantly impact average asset totals. After exclusion of the off-balance sheet migration, the Bank experienced deposit growth of $21.5 million during the third quarter and $45.4 million since December 31, 2021. This represents an annual growth rate, excluding IntraFi Network migration, of 9.82%. The Bank also maintained an additional $60.6 million in off-balance sheet deposits with IntraFi Network, which are available on demand. The Bank’s cost of funds increased slightly from the 0.07% reported in second quarter 2022 to the 0.09% in third quarter 2022. The Bank continues to monitor deposit rates and has not yet experienced significant pressure to increase rates, but the Bank anticipates growing pressure to adjust deposit rates should the Fed Funds rate continue to increase.

Third quarter investment purchases totaled $26.0 million, with a weighted average life of 5.11 years and a weighted average yield of 3.85% on the purchases. At September 30, 2022, the Bank’s total investment portfolio had an average life of 5.5 years and, based on the one month CPR, a yield of 2.67%. Securities purchases were offset by portfolio amortization and an increase in the unrealized loss on the securities portfolio. The September 30, 2022, unrealized loss on the securities portfolio grew to $17.2 million or 8.4% of the portfolio book value. For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, securities income totaled $1.1 million, or a yield of 2.39%, compared to $828 thousand, or a yield of 1.91% in the second quarter ended June 30, 2022. Several factors contributed to the increased earnings, including securities purchased during the quarter occurred at an effective rate higher than the overall portfolio yield and the increase in the yield on the variable rate securities tied to the prime rate. As of September 30, 2022, approximately $51.6 million of the securities portfolio was subject to monthly or quarterly rate resets. The Bank continues to plan for additional securities purchases during 2022, which will continue to enhance the net interest margin by shifting earnings assets from fed funds into higher yielding securities.

Noninterest income totaled $2.0 million during third quarter 2022 and represented an increase of $261 thousand over the second quarter 2022. The largest increase in noninterest income occurred in the other income category, which is primarily attributable to the income earned on the off-balance sheet portion of the IntraFi Network deposits, which totaled $437 thousand for the quarter. With migration of approximately $48.6 million of off-balance sheet deposits back onto the balance sheet, this noninterest income source is expected to decrease in the fourth quarter. Additionally, as interest rates increase this source of non-interest income will decrease over time as the Bank will be forced to increase the interest amount paid to depositors.

Noninterest expense in the third quarter 2022 totaled $4.8 million, an increase of $348 thousand over second quarter 2022. The largest drivers of the increase related to the salaries and benefits expense, which grew $145 thousand over second quarter. During third quarter the Bank implemented several salary adjustments, specifically amongst many of the lower paid positions within the Bank as a result of the competitive work environment. The Bank also increased the accruals for employee bonuses and profit sharing, which grew $97 thousand and $14 thousand, respectively, over the prior quarter expense. Both increases were tied to performance metrics tracking above original accrual levels. The Bank also saw growth in the outside services category of $79 thousand on a linked quarter basis. Approximately half of this increase was related to a recruitment fee for a new team leader position and is not expected to reoccur in future periods.
