NEWS RELEASE
SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND
ANNUAL EARNINGS
Aiken, South Carolina (February 6, 2023) - Security Federal Corporation (the “Company”) (OTCBB: SFDL), the holding company for Security Federal Bank (the
“Bank”), today announced earnings and financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022.
Quarterly net income increased $1.3 million, or 62.2%, to $3.3 million, or $1.01 per common share, for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared
to $2.0 million, or $0.62 per common share, for the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in net earnings was primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income, as the increase in interest income exceeded the increase in interest expense.
The increase in net interest income was partially offset by a decrease in non-interest income.
Net income was $10.2 million, or $3.14 per common share, for 2022 compared to $12.8 million, or $3.93 per common share, during the year
ended December 31, 2021 (the “prior year”). The decrease in net income was primarily due to a decline in non-interest income when compared to the prior year. Also contributing to the decrease in net earnings was the release of $2.4 million in loan
loss reserves during 2021 following significantly higher loan loss provisions recorded in 2020 in response to the potential and unknown economic impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Credit Quality Highlights
|
•
|
The Bank recorded no provision for loan losses during 2022 compared to a negative provision of $2.4 million during 2021. The negative provision
in 2021 resulted from a reduction in qualitative adjustment factors due to the improvement in the economic and business conditions at both the national and regional levels as of December 31, 2021.
|
|
•
|
Non-performing assets were $6.4 million, or 1.15% of gross loans, at December 31, 2022 compared to $2.8 million, or 0.56% of gross loans, at
December 31, 2021.
|
|
•
|
Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of gross loans was 2.00% at December 31, 2022 compared to 2.19% at December 31,
2021.
