Certain Unaudited Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for more information
and reconciliation to GAAP.
Net Income
- Net income was $5.4 million for year ended December 31, 2024 as
compared to $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, as a
result of an increase in noninterest expenses related to the
recently terminated merger partially offset by an increase in net
interest income. Operating income for the year ended December 31,
2024 was $6.8 million as compared to $6.4 million for the year
ended December 31, 2023.
- Net income was $1.3 million for three months ended December 31,
2024 as compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2023, as a result of a decrease in noninterest income
from the loss on sale of $10.4 million in investment securities
available-for-sale that were yielding an weighted average rate
under 3.00% allowing for investment in higher yielding loans and an
increase in noninterest expenses partially offset by an increase in
net interest income. Operating income for the three months ended
December 31, 2024 was $1.7 million as compared to $1.5 million for
the three months ended December 31, 2023.
Results of Operations
- Net interest income was $7.2 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2024 compared to $6.8 million for the three months
ended December 31, 2023. The increase was due to an increase in
interest income on loans, partially offset by a rise in deposit and
borrowing costs and a decrease in interest income on
interest-earning deposits.
- Net interest margin for the three months ended December 31,
2024 increased to 3.56% from 3.32% for the three months ended
December 31, 2023. The increase in the margin relates to increases
in our yield on earning assets exceeding our increases in our
deposits and borrowing costs.
- Noninterest income decreased $445,000 to $161,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 2024, as a result of the loss on
securities available-for-sale recorded in the fourth quarter.
- Non-interest expense increased $336,000 to $5.8 million for the
three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the respective
period in 2023, due to increases in professional fees related to
merger expenses.
- Net interest income was $28.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 2024 compared to $27.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 2023. The increase was due to an increase in interest
income on loans and investment securities, partially offset by a
rise in deposit and borrowing costs and a decrease in interest
income on interest-earning deposits.
- Net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2024
increased to 3.54% from 3.35% for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The increase in the margin relates to increases in our yield on
earning assets exceeding our increases in our deposits and
borrowing costs.
- Provision for credit losses was $438,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2024 compared to negative provision of $42,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2023.
- Noninterest income decreased $451,000 to $2.0 million for the
year ended December 31, 2024, as a result of the loss on securities
available-for-sale recorded in the fourth quarter.
- Non-interest expense increased $2.4 million to $23.8 million
for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to 2023, due to
increases in professional fees related to our merger expenses and
increases in salaries and employee benefits.
Financial Condition
- Total assets increased $23.6 million to $866.8 million at
December 31, 2024 from $843.3 million at December 31, 2023, as we
experienced loan growth.
- Total gross loans increased $54.2 million to $714.1 million at
December 31, 2024 from $659.9 million at December 31, 2023. The
increase was due to steady loan demand in construction, commercial
non-owner occupied properties, commercial and consumer loans.
- Non-owner occupied office loans totaled $44.2 million at
December 31, 2024; the average LTV on these loans is 46.8%,
including
- $17.4 million medical/dental tenants and
- $26.8 million to other various tenants.
- Investment securities held-to-maturity unrealized gains were
$44,000, net of tax. Investment securities available-for-sale
unrealized losses were $5.7 million, net of tax.
- Cash and cash equivalents decreased $8.6 million to $41.4
million at December 31, 2024 from $50.0 million at December 31,
2023.
- Deposits decreased by $1.0 million to $673.5 million at
December 31, 2024 compared to $674.4 million at December 31, 2023,
with a $3.5 million net decrease in demand deposits partially
offset by $2.5 million increase in certificates of deposits.
- Borrowings increased by $18.8 million to $58.8 million at
December 31, 2024 compared to $40.0 million at December 31, 2023 as
we continue to evaluate borrowing needs related to enhancing bank
liquidity.
Asset Quality
- Non-performing loans decreased to $4.8 million at December 31,
2024 from $7.4 million at December 31, 2023.

non-performing loans was 177.9% at December 31, 2024, as compared
to 120.1% at December 31, 2023.

at December 31, 2024 from 1.35% at December 31, 2023.
