William Penn Bancorporation Announces First Quarter Results

BRISTOL, PA / ACCESSWIRE / October 21, 2021 / William Penn Bancorporation ("William Penn" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:WMPN), the parent company of William Penn Bank (the "Bank"), today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. William Penn recorded net income of $1.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to net income of $670 thousand, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 included a $235 thousand, or $0.02 per diluted share, income tax benefit related to refunds received associated with the carryback of net operating losses under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act. Net income for the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, included $64 thousand and $161 thousand of prepayment penalties associated with the prepayment of $7.0 million and $23.2 million of higher-cost advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh ("FHLB").

Kenneth J. Stephon, William Penn's Chairman, President and CEO, stated: "We continue to focus on the deployment of excess cash and the prudent management of our balance sheet to help us in achieving our strategic and financial growth goals. The low interest rate environment has made it challenging to effectively deploy the excess cash we hold on our balance sheet. We used $53.2 million of cash during the quarter to purchase high-quality investment securities that we anticipate will provide a steady stream of cash flows both in the current and in rising interest rate environments. In addition, we made a strategic decision during the quarter to use $7.0 million of cash to prepay higher-cost advances from the FHLB that effectively removed a negative spread from our balance sheet. Despite operating in a challenging environment because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we had $23.8 million of new loan originations during the quarter. The results for the quarter include a benefit from a loan loss reserve release of $30 thousand, compared to a provision of $66 thousand in the same quarter last year, that we do not consider part of our core or recurring earnings. We have experienced strong growth in core deposits, which increased at an annualized rate of 17.4% during the first quarter. We believe the recent opening of our new branch located in Doylestown in Bucks County, Pennsylvania will continue to bolster our core deposit growth."

Highlights for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 are as follows:

  • William Penn recorded net income of $1.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted share.
  • William Penn recognized a $235 thousand, or $0.02 per diluted share, income tax benefit related to refunds received associated with the carryback of net operating losses under the CARES Act.
  • William Penn purchased $53.2 million of high-quality investment securities that it anticipates will provide a steady stream of cash flows both in the current and in rising interest rate environments.
  • William Penn prepaid $7.0 million of higher-cost advances from the FHLB and incurred $64 thousand of prepayment penalties in connection with such prepayments.
  • William Penn originated $23.8 million of new loans.
  • Core deposits increased at an annualized rate of 17.4%.
  • William Penn opened a new branch located in Doylestown in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
  • William Penn paid a $0.30 per share one-time special cash dividend in August 2021.
  • Book value per share measured $14.04 as of September 30, 2021 compared to $14.30 as of June 30, 2021. Tangible book value per share(1) measured $13.67 as of September 30, 2021 compared to $13.92 as of June 30, 2021. The decline in both book value and tangible book value was primarily due to the payment of the previously mentioned special dividend.
  • Asset quality metrics continued to remain strong with non-performing assets to total assets of 0.68% as of September 30, 2021. Our allowance for loan losses totaled $3.6 million, or 0.78% of total loans and 1.16% of total loans, excluding acquired loans(2), as of September 30, 2021, compared to $3.6 million, or 0.78% of total loans and 1.19% of total loans, excluding acquired loans(2), as of June 30, 2021.

Statement of Financial Condition

Total assets increased $533 thousand, or 0.1%, to $822.9 million at September 30, 2021, from $822.4 million at June 30, 2021. The increase in total assets can primarily be attributed to a $43.9 million increase in total investments, a $2.2 million increase in bank-owned life insurance and a $2.4 million increase in other assets, partially offset by a $40.8 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents and a $7.0 million decrease in net loans.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $40.8 million, or 24.2%, to $127.9 million at September 30, 2021, from $168.7 million at June 30, 2021. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily driven by a $43.9 million increase in total investments, a $7.0 million decrease in advances from the FHLB and a $2.2 million increase in bank-owned life insurance, partially offset by an $8.1 million increase in deposits and a $7.0 million decrease in net loans.

Total investments increased $43.9 million, or 35.1%, to $169.1 million at September 30, 2021, from $125.2 million at June 30, 2021. During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company invested a portion of the excess cash on its statement of financial condition in available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, and other securities. The Company remains focused on maintaining a high-quality investment portfolio that provides a steady stream of cash flows both in the current and in rising interest rate environments.

Net loans decreased $7.0 million, or 1.5%, to $454.2 million at September 30, 2021, from $461.2 million at June 30, 2021. During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company originated $23.8 million of new loans that were more than offset by $30.8 million of loan paydowns and payoffs. The COVID-19 pandemic and low interest rate environment have created a highly competitive market for lending. The Company maintains conservative lending practices and is focused on lending to borrowers with high credit quality within its market footprint.

Bank-owned life insurance increased $2.2 million, or 6.4%, to $37.4 million at September 30, 2021, from $35.2 million at June 30, 2021. Management purchased $2.0 million of bank-owned life insurance during the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Management believes that bank-owned life insurance is a low-risk investment alternative with an attractive yield.

Deposits increased $8.1 million, or 1.5%, to $561.2 million at September 30, 2021, from $553.1 million at June 30, 2021. The increase in deposits was primarily due to a $17.1 million increase in core deposits, partially offset by a $9.0 million decrease in time deposits. The decrease in time deposits was consistent with the planned run-off associated with our re-pricing of higher-cost, non-relationship-based deposit accounts.

Borrowings decreased $7.0 million, or 17.1%, to $34.0 million at September 30, 2021, from $41.0 million at June 30, 2021. The decrease in borrowings was due to the previously discussed prepayment of $7.0 million of higher-cost advances from the FHLB during the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Stockholders' equity decreased $3.9 million, or 1.8%, to $213.0 million at September 30, 2021, from $216.9 million at June 30, 2021. The decrease in stockholders' equity was primarily due to the payment of a $0.30 per share one-time special cash dividend in August 2021 totaling $4.6 million and a $598 thousand increase in the accumulated other comprehensive loss component of the unrealized loss on available-for sale securities, partially offset by $1.2 million of net income recorded during the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Tangible book value per share(1) measured $13.67 as of September 30, 2021 compared to $13.92 as of June 30, 2021.

Net Interest Income

For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, net interest income was $5.3 million, an increase of $45 thousand, or 0.9%, from the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to a $718 thousand decrease in interest expense primarily due to the re-pricing of deposits in the current low interest rate environment and the prepayment of advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh. These increases to net interest income were partially offset by a decrease in interest income on loans due to a decrease in the average balance of loans and a decrease in the yield on loans driven by the current low interest rate environment. The net interest margin measured 2.80% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 compared to 3.11% for the same period in 2020. The decrease in the net interest margin is consistent with the recent decrease in interest rates and current margin compression that is primarily due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its continued impact on the economy and interest rate environment, as well as the excess cash that the Bank held during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 in connection with the second-step conversion offering that was completed in March 2021.

Non-interest Income

For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, non-interest income totaled $705 thousand, an increase of $305 thousand, or 76.3%, from the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to a $126 thousand increase in earnings on bank-owned life insurance due to the purchase of additional BOLI during the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, a $62 thousand increase in the net gain on sale of investment securities, and a $105 thousand unrealized net gain on equity securities recorded during the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Non-interest Expense

For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, non-interest expense totaled $4.9 million, an increase of $132 thousand, or 2.8%, from the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to a $158 thousand increase in salaries and employee benefits due to the addition of new employees in connection with the build out of the Company's commercial lending and credit functions and an increase in business development costs. These increases to non-interest expense were partially offset by a $97 thousand decrease in prepayment penalties associated with the prepayment of $7.0 million and $23.2 million of advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh during the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Income Taxes

For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a $30 thousand net income tax benefit, reflecting an effective tax rate of (2.7)%, compared to a $146 thousand provision for income taxes, reflecting an effective tax rate of 17.9%, for the same period in 2020. The decrease in the provision for income taxes for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period a year ago is primarily due to a $235 thousand income tax benefit recorded during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 related to refunds received associated with the carryback of net operating losses under the CARES Act. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period a year ago was also impacted by the previously discussed income tax benefit from refunds received associated with the carryback of net operating losses under the CARES Act.

Asset Quality

The provision for loan losses was a $30 thousand net recovery during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 compared to an expense of $66 thousand during the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The provision credit for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to an improving economic outlook combined with continued stable asset quality metrics, including net recoveries during the quarter and non-performing assets to total assets of 0.68% as of September 30, 2021 as compared to 0.67% as of September 30, 2020. Our allowance for loan losses totaled $3.6 million, or 1.16% of total loans, excluding acquired loans(2), as of September 30, 2021, compared to $3.6 million, or 1.19% of total loans, excluding acquired loans(2), as of June 30, 2021.

Capital

The Bank's capital position remains strong relative to current regulatory requirements. The Bank continues to have substantial liquidity that has been retained in cash or invested in high quality government-backed securities. As of September 30, 2021, William Penn's tangible capital to tangible assets totaled 25.37%. In addition, at September 30, 2021, we had the ability to borrow up to $290.7 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh. The federal regulators issued a final rule, effective January 1, 2020, that set the elective community bank leverage ratio at 9% of tier 1 capital to average total consolidated assets. The Bank has elected to follow this alternative framework. As of September 30, 2021, William Penn Bank had a community bank leverage ratio of 18.82% and is considered well-capitalized under the prompt corrective action framework.
