Quaint Oak Bancorp, Inc. Announces First Quarter Earnings

Southampton, PA, May 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quaint Oak Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCQB: QNTO), the holding company for Quaint Oak Bank (the “Bank”), announced today net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 of $873,000, or $0.36 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $563,000, or $0.26 per basic and $0.25 per diluted share for the same period in 2023.

Robert T. Strong, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, “I am pleased to report that net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was $873,000. This, when compared to net income for the same period of one year ago represents a 55.1% increase.”

Mr. Strong added, “As previously reported, our intention to reduce investment in two of our subsidiary companies that had become less productive considering the Federal Reserve rate increases, has culminated in the sale of the Bank’s 51.0% interest in Oakmont Capital Holdings, LLC. Additionally, we have exited our investment in Quaint Oak Real Estate, LLC with the transfer of that company’s agents into another local active real estate agency. These actions will have the effect of eliminating additional losses from these two entities moving forward.”

Mr. Strong continued, “Additionally, a substantial reduction in loans held for sale during the period has provided a significant realignment of the Bank’s balance sheet when compared to the same period of one year ago. Leveraged financing has been reduced by $136.3 million as of March 31, 2024 compared to March 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents are $146.3 million as of March 31, 2024, and the Bank’s Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio is 13.61% at this period end.”

Mr. Strong commented, “Much has been written concerning the potential effect of the remote working environment on commercial office space along with the anticipated effect that the significant rise in interest rates would have, within such a short timeframe, on businesses. We have experienced minor delinquencies and minimal default in our loan portfolio, however, well within manageable levels. Comparing March 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024, our non-performing loans as a percent of total loans receivable, net has increased from 0.25% to 1.28%, our non-performing assets as a percent of total loans receivable, net has increased from 0.19% to 1.00%, and our Texas Ratio has moved from 2.73% to 12.0%.”

Mr. Strong concluded, “As a result of the first quarter performance and as recently announced, the Board of Directors declared a dividend for the first quarter of $0.13 per share payable on May 6, 2024, to the shareholders of record at the close of business on April 22, 2024. As always, our current and continued business strategy focuses on maintaining healthy capital ratios coupled with long-term profitability and payment of dividends, each of which reflect our strong commitment to shareholder value.”

On March 29, 2024, Quaint Oak Bank sold its 51% interest in Oakmont Capital Holdings, LLC (“OCH”). The decision was based on a number of strategic priorities and other factors. As a result of this action, the Company classified the operations of OCH as discontinued operations under ASC 205-20. The Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Income present discontinued operations for the current period and retrospectively for prior periods.

Also on March 29, 2024, the Company discontinued the operations of Quaint Oak Real Estate, LLC (“Quaint Oak Real Estate”), a 100% owned subsidiary of the Bank. Quaint Oak Real Estate was engaged in the real estate brokerage business. The Bank agreed to cease operations of Quaint Oak Real Estate and discontinue utilizing the services of the real estate agents it had been doing business with and had developed relationships with.

Net income amounted to $873,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $310,000, or 55.1%, compared to net income of $563,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.  The increase in net income on a comparative quarterly basis was primarily the result of an increase in non-interest income of $2.0 million, an increase in interest income of $1.2 million, and a decrease in non-interest expense of $183,000, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $1.4 million, an increase in the provision for credit losses of $744,000, an increase in net loss from discontinued operations of $501,000, and an increase in the net provision for income taxes of $204,000.

The $1.4 million, or 26.3%, increase in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 over the comparable period in 2023 was driven by a $2.5 million, or 70.5%, increase in interest on deposits, primarily attributable to an increase in rate on interest-bearing checking accounts to 5.39% that had the effect of increasing interest expense by $1.4 million. Also contributing to the increase in interest expense was a 155 basis point increase in average rate of certificates of deposit, which increased from 2.38% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to 3.93% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and had the effect of increasing interest expense by $860,000. Also contributing to the increase in interest expense was a 90 basis point increase in the rate on average money market accounts which increased from 3.62% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to 4.52% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and had the effect of increasing interest expense by $491,000. Partially offsetting the increase in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was a $1.3 million, or 100.0%, decrease in the interest on Federal Home Loan Bank short-term borrowings. The average interest rate spread decreased from 2.30% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to 2.06% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 while the net interest margin increased from 2.90% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to 2.96% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The $1.2 million, or 11.1%, increase in interest income was primarily due to a 115 basis point increase in the yield on average loans receivable, net of allowance for credit losses, including loans held for sale, which increased from 5.67% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to 6.82% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and had the effect of increasing interest income $1.9 million. Also contributing to the increase in interest income was a $61.9 million increase in the balance of due from banks – interest earning, which increased from $5.8 million at March 31, 2023 to $67.7 million at March 31, 2024, and had the effect of increasing interest income $598,000. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of loans receivable, net, which decreased $95.9 million from $754.3 million at March 31, 2023 to $658.4 million at March 31, 2024 and had the effect of decreasing interest income $1.4 million.

The $744,000, or 189.8%, increase in the provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 over the three months ended March 31, 2023 was due to an increase in the amount of non-performing loans. There was one individually evaluated loan which increased the provision for credit losses by $14,000.

The $2.0 million, or 195.1%, increase in non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 over the comparable period in 2023 was primarily attributable to a $1.4 million gain on sale of Oakmont Capital Holdings, LLC, a $544,000, or 139.1%, increase in net gain on sale of loans, a $129,000, or 131.6%, increase in other fees and service charges, a $69,000, or 50.4%, increase in mortgage banking, equipment lending, and title abstract fees, and a $16,000, or 11.8%, increase in insurance commissions. These increases were partially offset by a $141,000 or 98.6%, decrease in net loan servicing income, a $22,000, or 44.0%, decrease in gain on sale of SBA loans, and a $20,000, or 83.3%, decrease in real estate sales commissions, net.

The $183,000, or 3.5%, decrease in non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 over the comparable period in 2023 was primarily due to a $107,000, or 18.0%, decrease in other expense, a $92,000, or 26.9%, decrease in occupancy and equipment expense, a $59,000, or 25.4%, decrease in FDIC deposit insurance assessment, a $54,000, or 51.4%, decrease in director’s fees and expenses, and a $7,000, or 4.7%, decrease in professional fees. The decrease in non-interest expense was partially offset by an $87,000, or 2.4%, increase in salaries and employee benefits expense, and a $46,000, or 21.2%, increase in data processing expense.

The provision for income tax increased $399,000, or 159.0%, from $251,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $650,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 due primarily to an increase in pre-tax income and an increase in the effective tax rate which was driven by the increase in state taxes related to subsidiary activity in various states.

The Company’s total assets at March 31, 2024 were $775.5 million, an increase of $41.4 million, or 5.6%, from $734.1 million at December 31, 2023. This increase in total assets was primarily due to an $88.3 million, or 152.3%, increase in cash and cash equivalents and a $729,000, or 20.8%, increase in accrued interest receivable. Partially offsetting this increase was a $29.4 million, or 80.7%, decrease in loans held for sale, a $17.1 million, or 2.8%, decrease in loans receivable, net of allowance for credit losses, a $283,000, or 19.2%, decrease in investment in Federal Home Loan Bank stock, at cost, a $1.0 million, or 52.3%, decrease in investment in interest-earning time deposits, and a $140,000, or 6.0%, decrease in investment securities available for sale. The largest decreases within the loan portfolio occurred in commercial business loans which decreased $3.8 million, or 2.9%, one-to-four family non-owner occupied loans which decreased $1.0 million, or 2.6%, and construction loans which decreased $653,000, or 1.8%. Partially offsetting these decreases were commercial real estate loans which increased $2.8 million, or 0.8%, one-to-four family owner occupied loans which increased $1.4 million, or 6.0%, and home equity loans which increased $4,000, or 0.1%. Contributing to the $88.3 million increase in cash and cash equivalents were the proceeds from the sale of loans held for sale and the increase in deposits.

Loans held for sale decreased $29.4 million, or 80.7%, from $36.4 million at December 31, 2023 to $7.1 million at March 31, 2024 as the Bank originated $51.6 million in equipment loans held for sale and sold $71.6 million of equipment loans during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Contributing to the decrease in loans held for sale is $8.5 million of loan amortization and prepayments. On March 29, 2024, the Bank transferred $4.4 million of equipment loans held for sale into loans receivable as part of the discontinued operations of OCH. Additionally, the Bank’s mortgage banking subsidiary, Quaint Oak Mortgage, LLC, originated $25.8 million of one-to-four family residential loans during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and sold $22.3 million of loans in the secondary market during this same period.

Total deposits increased $41.7 million, or 6.6%, to $673.4 million at March 31, 2024 from $631.7 million at December 31, 2023. This increase in deposits was primarily attributable to an increase of $20.6 million, or 18.2%, in non-interest bearing checking accounts, an increase of $14.1 million, or 13.6%, in interest bearing checking accounts, and an increase of $9.5 million, or 4.4%, in certificates of deposit. The increase in total deposits was partially offset by a $1.2 million, or 1.2%, decrease in money market accounts, and a $118,000, or 14.1%, decrease in savings accounts. The increase in interest bearing checking accounts was primarily due to correspondent banking relationships.

Total Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings decreased $6.1 million, or 20.9%, to $23.0 million at March 31, 2024 from $29.0 million at December 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company paid down $6.1 million of FHLB long-term borrowings.

Total stockholders’ equity increased $1.7 million, or 3.4%, to $50.1 million at March 31, 2024 from $44.8 million at December 31, 2023. Contributing to the increase was net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 of $873,000, shares issued from authorized and unallocated of $1.0 million, amortization of stock awards and options under our stock compensation plans of $60,000, the reissuance of treasury stock under the Bank’s 401(k) Plan of $24,000, and other comprehensive income, net of $6,000. The increase in stockholders’ equity was partially offset by dividends paid of $312,000.

Non-performing loans at March 31, 2024 consisted of three equipment loans and one pool of equipment loans on non-accrual status in the aggregate amount of $4.4 million and one one-to-four family owner occupied loan, one swing loan, two commercial business loans, and one SBA loan that are 90 days or more past due but still accruing in the amount of $3.3 million. The non-performing loans at March 31, 2024 are generally well-collateralized or adequately reserved for. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, two commercial business loans totaling $338,000 that were previously non-accrual were charged-off through the allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses as a percent of total loans receivable, net of allowance for credit losses was 1.23% at March 31, 2024 and 1.11% at December 31, 2023. Non-performing loans at December 31, 2023 consisted of one SBA loan on non-accrual status in the amount of $51,000 and one one-to-four family owner occupied loan that was 90 days or more past due but still accruing in the amount of $401,000. The non-performing loans at December 31, 2023 were generally well-collateralized or adequately reserved for. During the year ended December 31, 2023, two commercial business loans, one SBA loan, one multi-family residential loan, and two equipment loans totaling $272,000 that were previously on non-accrual were charged-off through the allowance for credit losses. In addition, there was one commercial business loan in the amount of $652,000 that was written down by $603,000.
