    来源: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 25 10月 2023 08:15:01   America/New_York

    RUTHERFORD, N.J., Oct. 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Blue Foundry Bancorp (NASDAQ:BLFY) (the “Company”), the holding company for Blue Foundry Bank (the “Bank”), today reported a net loss of $1.4 million, or $0.06 per diluted common share, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to net loss of $1.8 million, or $0.08 per diluted common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and net income of $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

    James D. Nesci, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Blue Foundry remains well capitalized with credit quality at historically stable levels. In addition to strong on-balance sheet liquidity, we have access to multiple sources of liquidity.”

    He continued, “We have also been pleased with the resourcefulness of our management team and employees in managing expenses. This has helped offset some of the pressure on net interest income we are experiencing as the current rate environment continues to adversely affect our margin.”

    Highlights for the third quarter of 2023:

    • Non-interest expense decreased $574 thousand, or 4.4%, sequentially, primarily driven by lower compensation and benefits expenses.
    • Release of provision for credit losses of $717 thousand due to the impact of the change in forecast on the loan portfolio, coupled with a decline in portfolio balances and unused lines.
    • Uninsured deposits to third-party customers totaled approximately 10% of total deposits as of September 30, 2023.
    • Interest income for the quarter was $20.2 million, an increase of $408 thousand, or 2.1%, compared to the prior quarter.
    • Interest expense for the quarter was $10.3 million, an increase of $1.4 million, or 16.2%, compared to the prior quarter.
    • Net interest margin decreased 23 basis points from the prior quarter to 1.94%.
    • The Company executed $50 million of hedges on interest rates to reduce the Company’s sensitivity to interest rate by locking in spread.
    • Tangible book value per share was $14.24.
    • 298,210 shares were repurchased at a weighted average cost of $9.51 per share.

    Lending Franchise

    The Company continues to diversify its lending franchise by focusing on growing the commercial portfolio.

    Retail Banking Franchise

    As of September 30, 2023, deposits totaled $1.25 billion, a decrease of $35.8 million, or 2.77%, from December 31, 2022. The Company’s strategy is to focus on attracting the full banking relationship of small- to medium-sized businesses through an extensive suite of deposit products; however, the rate environment in the northern New Jersey market has intensified competition for deposits. The reduction of $191.9 million in core deposits was partially offset by an increase of $156.1 million in time deposits.

    Financial Performance Overview:

    Third quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2022

    Net interest income compared to the third quarter of 2022:

    • Net interest income was $9.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $13.8 million in same period in 2022 due to increases in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities.
    • Net interest margin decreased by 90 basis points to 1.94%.
    • Yield on average interest-earning assets increased 60 basis points to 3.97%, while the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased 201 basis points to 2.49%.
    • Average loans increased by $112.1 million and average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $157.2 million.

    Non-interest expense compared to the third quarter of 2022:

    • Non-interest expense was $12.4 million, a decrease of $1.1 million excluding the provision for commitments and letters of credit, driven by a decrease of $793 thousand in compensation and benefits expenses, a decrease of $366 thousand in professional services, a decrease of $168 thousand in other operating expenses and a decrease of $86 thousand in data processing partially offset by an increase of $183 thousand in occupancy and equipment and an increase of $165 thousand in FDIC assessment.
    • Since the adoption of the current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology on January 1, 2023, the provision for commitments and letters of credit is recorded in the provision for credit losses. This expense was previously recorded in non-interest expense. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company recorded a $170 thousand provision for commitments and letters of credit.

    Income tax expense compared to the third quarter of 2022:

    • The Company did not record a tax benefit for the loss incurred during the current quarter due to the full valuation allowance required on its deferred tax assets. The prior year quarter effective tax rate of 9.0% was a result of the taxable income produced during the prior year quarter, partially offset by the ability to utilize a portion of the net operating losses that were fully reserved.
    • The Company’s current tax position reflects the previously established full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets. At September 30, 2023, the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets was $23.1 million.

    Nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022

    • Average loans increased by $198.9 million and average interest-bearing deposits decreased by $5.2 million.
    • Average borrowings increased by $190.0 million.
    • The Company executed $150 million of hedges on interest rates with maturities ranging from three to five years. The Company’s hedging program aims to reduce the Company’s sensitivity to interest rate by locking in spread.

    Non-interest expense compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022:

    • Non-interest expense was $39.0 million, a decrease of $993 thousand excluding the provision for commitments and letters of credit, driven by decreases of $889 thousand in fees for professional services and $759 thousand in advertising, partially offset by increases of $494 thousand in occupancy and equipment costs, $324 thousand in FDIC assessment and $179 thousand in data processing expense.
    • The Company recorded a $108 thousand provision for commitments and letters of credit in the first nine months of 2022.

    Income tax expense compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022:

    • The Company did not record a tax benefit for the loss incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to the full valuation allowance required on its deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of 8.7% was a result of the taxable income produced during the prior year period, partially offset by the ability to utilize a portion of the net operating losses that were fully reserved.
    • The Company’s current tax position reflects the previously established full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets. At September 30, 2023, the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets was $23.1 million.

    Capital:

    • Shareholders’ equity decreased by $34.6 million to $359.1 million. The decrease was primarily driven by the repurchase of shares at a cost of $30.5 million.
    • In addition, the net loss of $4.5 million and the $2.4 million reduction in accumulated other comprehensive income was partially offset by stock-based compensation activity.
    • Tangible equity to tangible assets was 17.07% and tangible common equity per share outstanding was $14.24.
    • The Bank’s capital ratios remain above the FDIC’s “well capitalized” standards.

    • The Company recorded a net release of provision for credit losses of $717 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, driven by decreases in the allowance for loans and in the allowance for commitments.
    • Non-performing loans totaled $6.1 million, or 0.39% of total loans compared to $7.8 million, or 0.50% of total loans at December 31, 2022, and $8.4 million, or 0.56% of total loans at September 30, 2022.

    Adjusted Pre-Provision Net Revenue (Non-GAAP)
    (Unaudited)

    This press release contains certain supplemental financial information, described in the table below, which has been determined by methods other than U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") that management uses in its analysis of Blue Foundry's performance. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding Blue Foundry's financial results. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures and results and Blue Foundry strongly encourages investors to review its consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names.

    Net income, as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, includes the provision for credit losses (in the 2023 periods), provision for loan losses and provision for commitments and letters of credit (in the 2022 periods) and income tax expense, while pre-provision net revenue does not.
