Pathfinder Bancorp, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2024 Net Income of $2.0 Million (2024)

Second Quarter 2024 Key Results:

  • Net Interest Income of $9.5 million in the quarter decreased by $252,000, or 2.6% from June 30, 2023.
  • Non-Interest Income of $1.2 million in the quarter increased by $124,000, or 11.4% from June 30, 2023 driven by various fees associated with our loan and deposit accounts.
  • Non-Interest Expense of $7.9 million in the quarter increased by $734,000, or 10.2% from June 30, 2023 due primarily to increases in salaries and benefits and professional and other services.
  • Total Deposits were $1.10 billion at the end of the second quarter, relatively flat to June 30, 2023.
  • Total Loans were $888.3 million at the end of the second quarter, reflecting a $2.8 million decrease from June 30, 2023.

“Our outlook remains positive, bolstered by the recent acquisition of the East Syracuse branch completed last week, strategically strengthening Pathfinder’s presence in Central New York. This region is positioned for outstanding economic growth through significant public and private investments in the semiconductor industry and its supporting infrastructure. With $186 million in deposits and $30 million in loans, the branch acquisition is designed to improve our liquidity profile and earnings, while enhancing our ability to serve the community in this dynamic market,” said President and Chief Executive Officer James A. Dowd. “We are also pleased with the improvement in net interest margin, which has modestly expanded for two consecutive quarters in what continues to be an unprecedented interest rate environment.”

The average cost of deposits acquired in the East Syracuse branch acquisition was approximately 1.99% (excluding Core Deposit Intangible), and the Company intends to utilize the additional liquidity to pay down approximately $150 million of borrowings that have an average cost of approximately 5.33% in three months ending June 30, which is expected to benefit total funding costs in the third quarter of 2024.

“In addition, we are making measured strategic investments in customer-facing technologies to better serve our customers and improve operational efficiencies, while continuing to benefit from our interactions with Castle Creek Capital’s ecosystem of financial institutions and fintech companies to help us control noninterest expenses and serve customers in new ways."

“From an asset quality perspective, we continue to manage the risk of our nonperforming loans by maintaining what we believe is a prudent allowance for credit losses, which increased during the second quarter to 1.90% of loans at period end. While net loan charge offs represented just 0.02% of average loans in the second quarter and provision expense declined to $290,000 for the three months ended June 30, we intend to further enhance the Bank’s approach to managing credit risk as part of our commitment to continuous improvement and long-term shareholder value creation.”

East Syracuse, New York Branch Purchase

The Company filed Form 8-K on July 22, 2024, and announced that it completed the purchase and assumption of the East Syracuse branch of Berkshire Bank, the banking subsidiary of Berkshire Hills Bancorp, Inc. In connection with the purchase, the Company assumed approximately $186 million in deposits and acquired approximately $30 million in loans.

Components of Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

In the second quarter of 2024, the Bank's net interest income, before provision for credit losses, was reported at $9.5 million, a 2.6% decrease, or a reduction of $252,000, from the corresponding quarter in 2023. An increase in interest and dividend income of $2.4 million was more than offset by an increase in interest expense of almost $2.7 million.

This increase in interest and dividend income of $2.4 million was primarily attributed to loan yield increases of 44 basis points, investment securities and federal funds sold average balance increases of $68.3 million, and investment securities and federal funds sold average yield increases of 75 basis points. The corresponding increase in loan interest income and investment securities and federal funds sold interest income was $698,000 and $1.7 million, respectively.

The increase in interest expense of $2.7 million, compared to the prior quarter, was predominantly the result of a change in the Bank's deposit mix and a rise in average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, reflecting the competitive conditions in the current interest rate environment.

As a result, the net interest margin for the second quarter of 2024 was 2.78%, compared to 2.75% in the first quarter of 2024, and 2.96% in the second quarter of 2023. The increase of three basis points compared to the first quarter was driven by asset yield improvements partially offset by deposit cost increases. The decline in net interest margin compared to the second quarter of 2023 was primarily attributed to higher funding costs related to the current high interest rate environment and repricing within the deposit portfolio, partially offset by an increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses was $290,000 in the second quarter, reflecting a decrease of $850,000 compared to the same period in 2023. The June 30, 2023, provision for credit losses of $1.14 million was attributed to two large commercial real estate and commercial loan relationships experiencing credit deterioration. The June 30, 2024 provision for credit losses included an increase in specific reserves of approximately $665,000, partially offset by improvement in certain qualitative and other factors that resulted in a net increase in the provision for loans of $304,000. The remaining components in provision for credit losses was a net reduction of $14,000.

The Bank continues to diligently monitor credit portfolios, particularly those considered sensitive to prevailing economic stressors, and apply conservative loan classification and reserve building methodologies.

Noninterest Income

Pathfinder's noninterest income for the second quarter of 2024 amounted to $1.2 million, reflecting an increase of $124,000 compared to the same quarter of 2023. This increase can primarily be attributed to the factors influencing recurring noninterest income, which excludes volatile items such as unrealized gains or losses on equity securities, as well as nonrecurring gains on sales of loans, investment securities, foreclosed real estate, premises, and equipment.

Recurring noninterest income during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 increased $155,000, or 13.6%, as compared to the same quarter in 2023. This is primarily due to an increase of $79,000 in debit card interchange fees, as a result of increased gross interchange revenues related to higher levels of consumer activity. Other components of noninterest income that also increased during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 include a $45,000 increase in loan servicing fees, a $27,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts, and a $24,000 increase in earnings and gain on bank owned life insurance. These modest increases were partially offset by an aggregate decrease of $20,000 in other noninterest income categories.

The $31,000 year-over-year decrease in all other (nonrecurring) categories of noninterest income was primarily the result of a $77,000 decrease in sales of loans and foreclosed real estate during the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. Partially offsetting this decrease were lower losses on marketable equity securities in the amount of $30,000, and a $16,000 increase in gains on sales and redemptions of investment securities.

Second quarter results reflect the Bank’s strategy to proactively seek out and capitalize on new opportunities to diversify and enhance recurring noninterest income’s contribution to total revenue. As the Bank moves forward with its growth strategy, noninterest income is anticipated to play an increasingly vital role in maintaining a well-balanced and resilient financial profile.

The following table details the components of noninterest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023:

Noninterest Expense

For the second quarter of 2024, Pathfinder Bank reported noninterest expenses of $7.9 million. This represents an increase of approximately $734,000, or 10.2%, compared to the same period in 2023.

Salaries and benefits increased $493,000, or 12.6% during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, as compared to June 30, 2023. Headcount increases drove approximately $285,000 and salary adjustments related to merit and wage inflation accounted for approximately $208,000. These adjustments for merit and wage inflation are crucial in maintaining competitive remuneration packages to attract and retain talent in the dynamic banking sector.

Professional and other services increased $193,000 during the second quarter of 2024, as compared to the same quarter in 2023. This increase is primarily due to $116,000 of nonrecurring expenses associated with a review of technology enhancements meant to drive improvements in operational efficiencies. The remaining increase in professional and other services of $77,000 is spread across several smaller consulting engagements. All other remaining noninterest expense categories had an aggregate increase of $48,000, or 1.7%.

Statement of Financial Condition at June 30, 2024

As of June 30, 2024, Pathfinder Bancorp, Inc.'s statement of financial condition reflects total assets of $1.45 billion. This represents a slight decrease from the $1.47 billion recorded at December 31, 2023, a contraction of $19.6 million, or 1.3%. The observed reduction in assets since December 31, 2023 is primarily due to a decrease in total loan balances, which declined from $897.2 million to $888.3 million, representing a decrease of $8.9 million or approximately 1.0%. This contraction in the loan portfolio reflects both normal fluctuations in loan repayments and a strategic recalibration to focus on higher-yielding products with high quality, in-market borrowers.

Additionally, interest-earning deposits experienced a significant reduction since December 31, 2023 from $36.4 million to $19.8 million, contributing to the decrease in total cash and cash equivalents, which fell from $48.7 million to $31.8 million. A deliberate shift in investments reduced held-to maturity securities from $179.3 million at December 31, 2023 to $166.3 million at June 30, 2024, a decrease of $13.0, or 7.3%. Conversely, the Bank saw growth in its available-for-sale securities from $258.7 million to $275.0 million, at December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024, respectively, and an increase in other assets, which grew by $3.1 million in the current quarter.

With respect to liabilities, total deposits demonstrated stability, with a slight decrease of $18.8 million or 1.7%, from $1.12 billion at December 31, 2023 to $1.10 billion at June 30, 2024. The decrease in deposits was primarily due to seasonal fluctuations of municipal depositors. The stability reflects the Company's ability to maintain strong customer relationships and a solid funding base amidst competitive pressures.

Shareholders' equity saw a rise of $3.9 million or about 3.2%, increasing from $119.5 million at the end of 2023 to $123.3 million by the end of June 2024. This uptrend was primarily fueled by the Bank's profitable operations, with net income contributing to the increment in retained earnings, which increased from $76.1 million to $78.9 million, net of dividends distributed to shareholders.

Asset Quality

The Bank reported an increase in the nonperforming loans ratio from 1.92% at the end of December 2023 to 2.76% at the end of June 2024.This was recognized within the Company’s $917,000 increase to the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") of $16.9 million, or 1.90% of loans, as of June 30, 2024, compared to $16.0 million, or 1.78% of loans, at the end of 2023. This reserve underscores the Bank’s prudent approach to potential credit risks and its capacity to absorb potential loan losses.

The Company remains vigilant in its oversight of asset quality and maintenance of what it believes are prudent reserves for credit losses. Management continues to proactively monitor and address asset quality, including the close surveillance of nonaccrual loans. The reported ACL as of June 30, 2024, incorporates management’s estimates of future collectability, adjusting for current conditions and forward-looking economic forecasts. The Bank’s strategies, including the ongoing refinement of its credit risk practices, aim to bolster the loan portfolio against future uncertainties.

The following table summarizes nonaccrual loans by category and status at June 30, 2024:

Liquidity

The Company has diligently ensured a strong liquidity profile as of June 30, 2024, to meet its ongoing financial obligations. The Bank's liquidity management, as evaluated by its cash reserves and operational cash flows from loan repayments and investment securities, remains robust and is effectively managed by the institution's leadership.

The Bank's analysis indicates that expected cash inflows from loans and investment securities are more than sufficient to meet all projected financial obligations. In the second quarter of 2024, the Bank's non-brokered deposit balances decreased modestly to $865.7 million at June 30, 2024 from $877.4 million at June 30, 2023. In line with this strong liquidity stance, the Bank's total deposits remain stable and were $1.10 billion at June 30, 2024 as compared to $1.10 billion and $1.12 billion at June 20, 2023 and December 31, 2023, respectively. This further underscores the success of the Bank’s strategic initiatives in deposit gathering, including targeted marketing campaigns and customer engagement programs aimed at deepening banking relationships and enhancing deposit stability.

The Bank continues to fortify its liquidity position through established alliances, including its longstanding partnership with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLB-NY"). By the end of the current quarter, Pathfinder Bancorp had an available additional funding capacity of $42.1 million with the FHLB-NY, which complements its liquidity reserves. Moreover, the Bank maintains additional unused credit lines totaling $29.4 million, which provide a buffer for additional funding needs. These facilities, including access to the Federal Reserve’s Discount Window, are part of a comprehensive liquidity strategy that ensures flexibility and readiness to respond to any funding requirements.

Pathfinder Bancorp's oversight extends to continuous liquidity monitoring, ensuring that it is positioned to withstand financial market fluctuations. The Bank's deposit base remained stable at $1.10 billion as of June 30, 2024. Out of this amount, the portion above the FDIC insurance limits is well-managed, with $56.7 million safeguarded by a reciprocal deposit program and $100.0 million in municipal deposits fully collateralized by high-quality securities at June 30, 2024. This leaves the remaining fraction of $82.4 million, or 7.5%, of total deposits, as uninsured. Pathfinder Bancorp’s liquidity management strategies and comprehensive risk mitigation measures demonstrate the Bank’s capacity to maintain liquidity and financial resilience, ensuring operational continuity and the continuing growth of stakeholder confidence.

Cash Dividend Declared

On July 1, 2024, Pathfinder Bancorp declared its quarterly cash dividend, a testament to the Company’s enduring commitment to shareholder returns within a framework of risk management and financial stability. Consistent with the Company’s tradition of sharing success, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share for holders of both voting common and non-voting common stock reflective of the Company’s solid performance and optimistic outlook.

In addition, this dividend also extends to the notional shares of the Company's warrants. Shareholders registered by July 19, 2024 will be eligible for the dividend, which is scheduled for disbursement on August 9, 2024. This distribution aligns with Pathfinder Bancorp’s philosophy of consistent and reliable delivery of shareholder value.

Evaluating the Company's market performance, the closing stock price as of June 28, 2024, stood at $13.19 per share. This positions the dividend yield at an attractive 3.03%. The annualized dividend payout ratio, based on the current dividend, is calculated to be 30.2%, underscoring the Board’s strategic approach to capital allocation, shareholder returns and the preservation of a fortified balance sheet.

Pathfinder Bancorp continues to navigate through economic cycles with a prudent and disciplined approach, ensuring that its capital distribution strategy is well calibrated to support sustained growth and long-term shareholder wealth creation.

Net interest income can also be analyzed in terms of the impact of changing interest rates on interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, and changes in the volume or amount of these assets and liabilities. The following table represents the extent to which changes in interest rates and changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities have affected the Company’s interest income and interest expense during the years indicated. Information is provided in each category with respect to: (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by prior rate); (ii) changes attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume); and (iii) total increase or decrease. Changes attributable to both rate and volume have been allocated ratably. Tax-exempt securities have not been adjusted for tax equivalency.
