NORTHEASTCOMMUNITY BANCORP, INC. REPORTS RESULTS

FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2021


White Plains, New York, July 30, 2021 – NorthEast Community Bancorp, Inc. (NasdaqCM: NECB) (the “Company”), the parent holding company of NorthEast Community Bank (the “Bank”) reported net income of $3.7 million and $7.0 million, or $0.31 and $0.58 per basic and diluted common share, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to net income of $2.5 million and $5.7 million, or $0.21 and $0.48 per basic and diluted common share, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Kenneth A. Martinek, NorthEast Community Bancorp’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, stated “We are pleased to report another quarter of strong earnings. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, loan demand remained strong with originations and outstanding commitments increasing quarter over quarter. Our commitments, loans-in-process, and standby letters of credit outstanding totaled $785.7 million as of June 30, 2021. The performance of our loan portfolios remains strong with one loan past due and in foreclosure at June 30, 2021. At this time, we have two loans on deferral as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, both with conservative loan to value ratios. As has been in the past, construction lending for affordable housing units in homogeneous high demand high absorption areas continues to be our focus.”

Highlights for the three and six months ended and at June 30, 2021 are as follows:

· During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded net income of $3.7 million, or $0.31 per basic and diluted<br>share.
· Net interest income increased by $869,000, or 9.1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period<br>in the prior year.
--- ---
· The Company maintained strong credit reserves amidst the uncertain economic environment and recorded a $17,000 provision for loan<br>losses during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
--- ---
· Asset quality metrics continued to remain strong with non-performing assets to total assets of 0.52% as of June 30, 2021. Our<br>allowance for loan losses totaled $5.1 million, or 0.61% of total loans as of June 30, 2021 compared to $5.2 million, or 0.64% of<br>total loans as of June 30, 2020.
--- ---
· In accordance with the provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) since March<br>2020, we have granted pandemic-related loan payment deferrals to 195 loans totaling $190.8 million at the time payment deferral was requested.<br>As of June 30, 2021, we had two loans totaling $9.5 million still in deferral status.

Balance Sheet

Total assets increased by $108.3 million, or 11.2%, to $1.1 billion at June 30, 2021, from $968.2 million at December 31, 2020. The increase in assets was primarily due to increases in cash and cash equivalents of $94.6 million, premises and equipment of $4.5 million, net loans of $5.5 million, and investment securities held-to-maturity of $3.5 million.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $94.6 million, or 136.8%, to $163.8 million at June 30, 2021 from $69.2 million at December 31, 2020. The increase in cash can primarily be attributed to an increase in deposits of $27.1 million and an increase in stock subscriptions funds of $74.9 million related to our recently completed second-step conversion offering, partially offset by an increase in loans of $5.5 million, an increase in investment securities held-to-maturity of $3.5 million, an increase in premises and equipment of $4.5 million due to the purchase of a branch building, a decrease in advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance of $246,000 and cash dividends of $295,000.

Securities held-to-maturity increased by $3.5 million, or 46.9%, to $10.8 million at June 30, 2021 from $7.4 million at December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the purchase of investment securities totaling $4.3 million, partially offset by maturities and pay-downs of $793,000.

Loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, increased by $5.5 million, or 0.7%, to $825.2 million at June 30, 2021 from $819.7 million at December 31, 2020. The increase in loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, was primarily due to a net increase in construction loans of $26.2 million. The increases were partially offset by decreases in non-residential loans of $5.5 million, mixed-use loans of $2.3 million, commercial and industrial loans of $10.6 million, one- to four-family loans of $1.4 million, and multi-family loans of $992,000, coupled with normal pay-downs and principal reductions.

Premises and equipment increased by $4.5 million, or 24.2%, to $23.2 million at June 30, 2021 from $18.7 million at December 31, 2020 due to the acquisition of property for a new branch site located in Monsey, New York.

Foreclosed real estate was $2.0 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Right of use assets — operating, recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 842 “Leases”, decreased by $264,000, or 8.5%, to $2.8 million at June 30, 2021 from $3.1 million at December 31, 2020, primarily due to amortization.

Other assets increased by $510,000, or 10.1%, to $5.6 million at June 30, 2021 from $5.1 million at December 31, 2020 due to an increase in suspense accounts of $1.0 million and an increase in prepaid expense of $240,000, partially offset by a decrease in tax assets of $728,000.

Total deposits increased by $27.1 million, or 3.5%, to $798.8 million at June 30, 2021, from $771.7 million at December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in non-interest bearing demand deposits of $36.4 million, or 16.5%, and an increase in NOW/money market accounts of $18.0 million, or 17.9%, from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in certificates of deposit of $25.3 million, or 7.3%, and a decrease in savings account balances of $2.0 million, or 2.0%, from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances were $28.0 million at both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Stock subscription was $74.9 million at June 30, 2021 due to stock subscription orders received in connection with our recently completed second-step conversion offering.

Stockholders’ equity increased by $7.0 million, or 4.6% to $160.8 million at June 30, 2021, from $153.8 million at December 31, 2020. The increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily a result of net income of  $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, a reduction of $202,000 in unearned employee stock ownership plan shares, partially offset by dividends declared of $144,000 and $3,000 in other comprehensive loss.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income totaled $10.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $9.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in net interest income of $870,000, or 9.1%, was primarily due to the decrease in interest expense that exceeded a decrease in interest income.

The decrease in interest expense and interest income is consistent with the decrease in interest rates in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the economy and interest rate environment. However, our cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased much greater than our yield on interest earning assets as our interest bearing liabilities repriced much faster to lower rates than our yield on interest earning assets. In this regard, our cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased by 89 basis points from 1.80% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to 0.91% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Our yield on interest earning assets decreased by 53 basis points from 5.58% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to 5.05% for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Net interest margin increased by 18 basis points, or 4.2%, during the three months ended June 30, 2021 to 4.49% compared to 4.31% during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Net interest income totaled $20.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $19.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in net interest income of $1.8 million, or 9.4%, was primarily due to the decrease in interest expense that exceeded a decrease in interest income.

In a manner consistent with the decrease in interest rates in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, our cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased much greater than our yield on interest earning assets as our interest bearing liabilities repriced much faster to lower rates than our yield on interest earning assets. In this regard, our cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased by 96 basis points from 1.93% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to 0.97% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Our yield on interest earning assets decreased by 62 basis points from 5.76% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to 5.14% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Net interest margin increased by 17 basis points, or 3.9%, during the six months ended June 30, 2021 to 4.54% compared to 4.37% during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $778,000 compared to non-interest income of $541,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in total non-interest income was primarily due to an increase of $193,000 in other loan fees and service charges, an increase of $32,000 in investment advisory fees, a net gain of $7,000 on the sale of fixed assets, and an increase of $6,000 in other non-interest income, partially offset by a decrease of $1,000 in bank owned life insurance income.

Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $1.2 million compared to non-interest income of $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in total non-interest income was primarily due to an unrealized loss of $62,000 in our equity securities in the 2021 period compared to an unrealized gain of $299,000 in the comparable period in 2020, a decrease of $119,000 in other non-interest income, and a decrease of $10,000 in bank owned life insurance income. These were partially offset by an increase of $245,000 in other loan fees and service charges, an increase of $36,000 in investment advisory fees, and a net gain of $7,000 on the sale of fixed assets.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased by $8,000, or 0.1%, to $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase resulted primarily from increases of $244,000 in other operating expense and $45,000 in equipment expense, partially offset by decreases of $88,000 in outside data processing expense, $77,000 in salaries and employee benefits, $67,000 in real estate owned expense, $42,000 in advertising expense, and $7,000 in occupancy expense.

Non-interest expense increased by $493,000, or 4.0%, to $12.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $12.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase resulted primarily from increases of $303,000 in salaries and employee benefits, $195,000 in other operating expense, $88,000 in occupancy expense, and $77,000 in equipment expense, partially offset by decreases of $73,000 in real estate owned expense, $71,000 in advertising expense, and $26,000 in outside data processing expense.

Income Taxes

We recorded income tax expense of $1.1 million and $752,000 for the three months ended June 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had approximately $174,000 in tax exempt income, compared to approximately $165,000 in tax exempt income for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Our effective income tax rates were 23.2% and 23.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

We recorded income tax expense of $2.1 million and $1.7 million for the six months ended June 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had approximately $336,000 in tax exempt income, compared to approximately $337,000 in tax exempt income for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Our effective income tax rates were 23.2% and 23.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Asset Quality

Our ratio of non-performing assets to total assets remained low at 0.52% as of June 30, 2021. Our net charge-offs remained low with $11,000 of net charge-offs recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to a net recovery of $21,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2020. We recorded a $17,000 provision for loan losses during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to a $532,000 provision for loan losses during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

The provision recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily attributed to the perceived potential credit risk associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, although no specific or probable losses were identified at that time. Although the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting recession has impacted the local economy, we have not experienced any significant deterioration of our borrowers’ ability to keep current in accordance with the terms of their obligations. Based on a review of the loans that were in the loan portfolio at June 30, 2021, management believes that the allowance is maintained at a level that represents its best estimate of inherent losses in the loan portfolio that were both probable and reasonably estimable.

Our allowance for loan losses totaled $5.1 million, or 0.61% of total loans as of June 30, 2021, compared to $5.1 million, or 0.62% of total loans as of December 31, 2020.

Capital

The Bank’s capital position remains strong relative to current regulatory requirements and is considered a well-capitalized institution under the Prompt Corrective Action framework. As of June 30, 2021, the Bank had a tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 14.84% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.58%. The Company’s total stockholder’s equity to assets was 14.94% as of June 30, 2021. At June 30, 2021, the Company had the ability to borrow $41.2 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York.
