Princeton Bancorp Announces

Third Quarter 2023 Results

Princeton, NJ, October 26, 2023 / PRNewswire / - Princeton Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ - BPRN), the bank holding company for The Bank of Princeton (the “Bank”), today reported its unaudited financial condition and results of operations at and for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The Company reported net income of $7.6 million, or $1.19 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2023, compared to net income of $6.8 million, or $1.07 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2023, and net income of $7.0 million, or $1.09 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2022. The increase in net income for the third quarter of 2023 when compared to the second quarter of 2023 was primarily due to a decrease of $7.7 million in non-interest expense, a decrease of $2.6 million in its provision for credit losses and an increase of $1.0 million in net interest income, partially offset by a decrease of $9.2 million in non-interest income and an increase of $1.4 million in income tax expense. The increase in net income for the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was primarily due to an increase of $700 thousand in non-interest income, a $600 thousand decrease in income tax expense and a $400 thousand reduction in its provision for credit losses, partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease in net interest income. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded net income of $20.5 million, or $3.21 per diluted common share, compared to $19.3 million, or $2.98 per diluted common share, for the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $11.5 million in non-interest income and a $1.8 million decrease in income tax expense, partially offset by an $8.9 million increase in non-interest expense, and a $2.3 million increase in its provision for credit losses.

“The Bank continues to be well-positioned to promote strong growth,” President/CEO Edward Dietzler commented on the quarter. The Bank was able to continue deposit growth and build significant liquidity to fund future loan demand. Our recent acquisition of Noah Bank is performing well giving us a strong platform to expand. We will continue to look at other opportunities that fit our overall strategy.”

As a result of the increase in deposits, balance sheet liquidity increased to $206.9 million in immediately available cash with zero borrowings. The Bank has a sizable loan pipeline in the communities we serve that it anticipates funding during the remainder of 2023, supported by the Bank’s strong capital position.

Balance Sheet Review

Total assets were $1.91 billion at September 30, 2023, an increase of $311.3 million, or 19.4% when compared to $1.60 billion at the end of 2022. The primary reason for the increase in total assets was the acquisition of Noah Bank on May 19, 2023, which had approximately $239.4 million in assets at closing. When looking at specific components of the balance sheet, including acquired assets, the Company recorded an increase in net loans of $128.1 million, an increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $153.6 million, an increase in its right

of use asset of $7.3 million, an increase of $4.9 million primarily due to Noah Bank’s deferred tax assets and an increase in other assets of $2.5 million. The increase in the Company’s net loans consisted of a $206.7 million increase in commercial real estate loans and a $23.3 million increase in commercial and industrial loans, partially offset by a decrease of $96.7 million in construction loans.

Total deposits at September 30, 2023 increased $290.2 million, or 21.5%, when compared to December 31, 2022. The primary reasons for the increase in total deposits were the $191.7 million in deposits acquired from Noah Bank and a $98.5 million increase from existing operations. When comparing deposit products between the two periods, certificates of deposit increased $298.7 million and money market deposits increased $65.9 million. Partially offsetting these increases were decreases in savings deposits of $43.6 million and interest-bearing demand deposits of $29.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Total stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2023 increased $12.6 million or 5.7% when compared to the end of 2022. The increase was primarily due to the $14.5 million increase in retained earnings, consisting of $20.5 million in net income partially offset by $5.7 million of cash dividends recorded during the period. The ratio of equity to total assets at September 30, 2023 and at December 31, 2022, was 12.1% and 13.7%, respectively. The current period ratio decrease was primarily due to the Noah Bank acquisition.

Asset Quality

At September 30, 2023, non-performing assets totaled $6.8 million, an increase of $6.5 million, when compared to the amount at December 31, 2022. This increase was due to the delinquency of a $4.5 million commercial real estate loan and $2.5 million of non-performing loans acquired from Noah Bank.

With the adoption of the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) method of calculating the allowance for credit losses effective January 1, 2023, performing troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) are no longer reported for the current period. At December 31, 2022 there were three loans classified as TDR loans totaling $5.9 million and each of these loans was performing in accordance with the agreed-upon terms.

Review of Quarterly and Year-to-Date Financial Results

Net interest income was $16.7 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $15.7 million for the second quarter of 2023 and $17.7 million for the third quarter of 2022. The increase from the previous quarter was the result of an increase in interest income of $4.0 million, or 17.3%, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $3.0 million, or 40.3%. The net interest margin for the third quarter 2023 was 3.76%, decreasing nineteen basis points when compared to the second quarter of 2023. This decrease was primarily associated with an increase of 49 basis points in the cost of funds associated with rising interest rates, partially offset by a 35 basis-point increase in the yield on loans. When comparing the three-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, net interest income decreased $1.0 million, which was primarily due to an increase of 213 basis points in the cost of funds, partially offset by an increase of 107 basis points in the yield earned on interest-earning assets. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, net interest income of $49.0 million was down slightly compared to net interest income of $49.8 million during the first nine months of 2022. The decrease from the previous nine-month period was the result of an increase in interest expense of $17.8 million, or 470.7%, partially offset by an increase in interest income of $17.0 million, or 31.7%, both as a result of the 525 basis-point increase in federal funds interest rates since March 2022.

The Bank recorded a credit provision for credit losses of $182 thousand during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and a $2.5 million provision for credit losses during the second quarter of 2023. The Bank recorded a $200 thousand provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The credit recorded in the current quarter was the result of a reduction in the reserve for unfunded liabilities in the amount of $182 thousand. The provision for credit losses for loans was zero. The provision of $2.5 million recorded in the prior quarter consisted of $2.7 million provision associated with the Company’s loan portfolio, offset by a credit to the provision of $250 thousand associated with unfunded commitments. Included in the Company’s second quarter 2023 provision was $1.7 million related to non-purchased credit deteriorated loans resulting from the Noah Bank acquisition. Net recoveries for the three-months ended September 30, 2023 were $23 thousand and net charge-offs for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 were $1.8 million. For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022, the Bank recorded net charge-offs of $200 thousand and $154 thousand, respectively. With the adoption of the CECL method of calculating the allowance for credit losses on January 1, 2023, the Bank recorded a one-time decrease, net of tax, in retained earnings of $284 thousand, a reduction to the allowance for credit losses of $301 thousand and an increase in the reserve for unfunded liabilities of $695 thousand. The coverage ratio of the allowance for credit losses to period end loans was 1.19% at September 30, 2023 and 1.20% at December 31, 2022.

Total non-interest income of $2.4 million for the third quarter of 2023 decreased $9.2 million or 79.2% when compared to the second quarter of 2023 and increased $696 thousand or 40.8% when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The decrease from the second quarter of 2023 was primarily due to the $9.7 million bargain purchase gain recorded in connection with the Noah acquisition completed during the second quarter of 2023. The increase over the prior year quarter was due to an increase in loan fees of $334 thousand and the gain on sale of other real estate owned of $203 thousand during the third quarter of 2023. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, non-interest income increased $11.5 million, or by 296.9%, primarily due to the $9.7 million bargain purchase gain and an increase in loan fees of $1.3 million over the same period in 2022.

Total non-interest expense of $10.2 million for the third quarter of 2023 decreased $7.7 million, or 43.0% when compared to the second quarter of 2023, due primarily to the $7.0 million in merger costs associated with the Noah acquisition expensed during the second quarter, a portion of which, totaling $1.4 million, were reversed during the third quarter. The amounts reversed during the third quarter were primarily the result of a lease termination cost that was lower than the original estimate based on a negotiated settlement of the remaining lease on a Noah Bank branch office and a legal reserve of $150 thousand. Total non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2023 was almost the same as the third quarter of 2022. The merger-related expenses reversed in 2023 were offset by increases in salaries and employee benefits and occupancy and equipment expenses of $401 thousand and $437 thousand, respectively, over the prior-year period associated with a full quarter of Noah costs versus a portion in the second quarter due to the closing date of May 19, 2023. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, non-interest expense was $37.7 million, compared to $28.8 million for the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to merger-related expenses of $5.6 million during 2023 as well as increases in salaries and employee benefits of $2.1 million, occupancy and equipment of $742 thousand and data processing and communications of $726 thousand over the same period in 2022.

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $1.5 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 16.6%, compared to an income tax expense of $161 thousand resulting in an effective tax rate of 2.3% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 due to the non-taxable bargain purchase gain, partially offset by $325 thousand of merger-related expenses that were not tax-deductible, and compared to an income tax expense of $2.1 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 23.2% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2022. For the nine-month period ending September 30, 2023, income tax expense was $3.6 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 14.9% compared to income tax expense of $5.4 million and an effective tax rate of 21.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
