OAKDALE, Calif., Oct. 20, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oak Valley Bancorp (NASDAQ: OVLY) (the “Company”), the bank holding company for Oak Valley Community Bank and their Eastern Sierra Community Bank division, recently reported unaudited consolidated financial results. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 consolidated net income was $6,800,000, or $0.83 per diluted share (EPS), compared to $4,258,000, or $0.52 EPS for the prior quarter and $4,554,000, or $0.56 EPS for the same period of 2021. Consolidated net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $13,427,000, or $1.64 EPS, representing an increase of $557,000 or 4.3%, compared to $12,870,000, or $1.57 EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The year-to-date increase in earnings includes a reduction in Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan interest and fee income from $7,472,000 in 2021 to $881,000 in 2022.
Net interest income was $16,772,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $13,233,000 for the prior quarter and $13,296,000 for the same period of 2021. The increase over the prior quarters is attributable primarily to increased yields on all earning assets resulting from recent FOMC rate hikes. In addition, the loan and investment security portfolios grew by $4.6 million and $34.3 million, respectively, during the third quarter. These increases were offset in part by the decrease in PPP loan interest and fees, as outstanding balances have been paid down to $5.0 million as of September 30, 2022, a year-over-year reduction of $61.5 million due to SBA forgiveness payments.
The net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was 3.61%, compared to 2.98% for the prior quarter, and 3.17% for the same period of 2021. The interest margin expansion compared to the prior periods was the result of deploying cash balances into higher yielding investments and loans, and the positive impact of FOMC rate hikes on the yields of our earning assets.
“As rates have increased across the yield curve, we have moved excess cash into higher yielding investments and loans which has significantly impacted our net interest margin. Year to date, the book value of our investment portfolio has grown by $315 million, and our loan portfolio is up approximately $52 million, resulting in a tremendous boost to earnings this year,” stated Rick McCarty, President and Chief Operating Officer.
Non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $1,611,000, compared to $1,371,000 during the prior quarter, and $1,303,000 for the same period of 2021. The increases over the prior periods were mainly due to a gain of $274,000 from market value changes on a limited partnership equity investment.
Non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $9,370,000, compared to $9,205,000 during the prior quarter, and $8,407,000 for the same period of 2021. The third quarter increase compared to prior periods is mainly due to staffing expense and general operating costs related to servicing the growing loan and deposit portfolios.
Total assets were $1.96 billion as of September 30, 2022, a decrease of $28.8 million over June 30, 2022 and an increase of $105.7 million over September 30, 2021. Gross loans were $912.2 million as of September 30, 2022, an increase of $4.6 million over June 30, 2022, and $40.1 million over September 30, 2021. Gross loans were impacted by PPP loan balance decreases of $4.5 million and $61.5 million, during the third quarter and trailing twelve months, respectively, due to SBA forgiveness payments. Total deposits were $1.83 billion as of September 30, 2022, a decrease of $21.6 million over June 30, 2022, and an increase of $129.7 million over September 30, 2021.
“We remain steadfast in our efforts to broaden relationships by assessing the long-term needs and preferences of our clients. We strive to support them in a consultative manner which provides value and allows us to champion the pursuit of their financial goals,” stated Chris Courtney, CEO. “As we expand our footprint, we intentionally pursue experienced banking professionals who share in our appreciation of this style of relationship building,” Courtney concluded.
Non-performing assets as of September 30, 2022 remained at zero, as they were the prior period and for the same period a year ago.
The allowance for loan losses to gross loans was 1.21% at September 30, 2022, compared to 1.19% at June 30, 2022 and 1.30% at September 30, 2021. The increase during the quarter was due to the $200,000 loan loss provision resulting from loan growth and other factors dictated by our internal model.
