    来源: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 21 7月 2022 15:01:51   America/Chicago

    WAUWATOSA, Wis., July 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Waterstone Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: WSBF), holding company for WaterStone Bank, reported net income of $8.0 million, or $0.36 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 compared to $17.9 million, or $0.74 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Net income per diluted share was $0.58 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to net income per diluted share of $1.64 for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

    “The community banking segment achieved strong loan growth, specifically in the commercial real estate market,” said Douglas Gordon, Chief Executive Officer of Waterstone Financial, Inc. “We were able to reduce our borrowings and fund our loan growth through the deposits that we have raised over the past few years. The mortgage banking segment continues to focus on efficiencies to remain profitable, as origination volumes decreased in response to higher interest rates. Additionally, we were able to continue returning strong shareholder value through our largest quarterly stock buyback since 2015.”

    • Net interest margin increased 24 basis points to 3.02% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 compared to 2.78% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, which was a result of a decrease in the average balance of cash, as funds were utilized to purchase investment securities and pay down borrowings.

Net interest margin increased 64 basis points compared to 2.38% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, driven by an increase in average loan balance, weighted average yield on loans, and weighted average yield on average debt securities, federal funds sold and short term investments.
