ELMER BANCORP, INC. Announces First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

ELMER BANCORP, INC. (“Elmer Bancorp” or the “Company”) (OTC Pink: ELMA), the parent company of The First National Bank of Elmer (the “Bank”), announces its operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, Elmer Bancorp reported net income of $311,000, or $0.27 per average diluted common share, compared to $403,000, or $0.35 per average diluted common share for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 totaled $2.746 million, a decrease of $406,000 from $3.152 million in the first quarter of 2021. Much of the decrease is related to higher net fee income recognized on Payroll Protection Program loans (“PPP”) in the first quarter of 2021. Non-interest income increased $10,700 primarily resulting from higher overdraft fee income in the current quarter partially offset by lower gains on the sale of OREO and a decline on fee income on sold mortgages. Non-interest expenses were $69,000 lower in the first quarter of this year compared to the same period last year. Higher employment costs, and higher advertising and occupancy expenses were more than offset by a reduction in professional fees and miscellaneous expenses. The loan loss provision was $195,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to no loan loss provision in the first quarter of this year.

Elmer Bancorp’s total assets at March 31, 2022 were $380.8 million, an increase of $27.6 million from the March 31, 2021 level of $353.2 million. Total core assets (excluding PPP related assets) totaled $377.9 million, an increase of $50.9 million from the March 31, 2021 total of $327.0 million. The increase in total core assets results from increases in investment securities, federal funds sold and core loans.

Loans totaled $263.0 million at March 31, 2022, a decrease of $15.6 million from the March 31, 2021 total of $278.6 million. Excluding PPP loan related balances of $3.0 million at March 31, 2022 and $26.1 million at March 31, 2021, total core loans were $260.0 million and $252.4 million at March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $7.6 million. At March 31, 2022, the allowance for loan losses was 1.74% of total core loans compared to 1.73% at March 31, 2021.

Deposits totaled $350.5 million at March 31, 2022, a $27.9 million increase over the March 31, 2021 total of $322.6 million, reflecting increases of $21.1 million and $6.8 million in interest bearing and non-interest bearing deposits, respectively. Stockholders’ equity totaled $28.6 million at March 31, 2022. The book value per common share at March 31, 2022 was $24.88 compared to $24.86 per share at March 31, 2021. The Bank met all regulatory capital requirements at March 31, 2022.

Brian W. Jones, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, “The first quarter of 2022 earnings were impacted by a reduction from the first quarter of 2021 of $251,200 in interest and fees on PPP loans, as these balances have significantly declined year-over-year. We remain cautiously optimistic regarding earnings growth considering the uncertain economic outlook and the overall effect of the pandemic on our customer base. While we reduced our loan loss provision, we continue to maintain a strong allowance for loan losses at 1.74% of total core loans. We are pleased that at March 31, 2022 our total core assets, total core loans and total deposits all reached all-time highs. With increasing loan demand, our total core loans reached the $260.0 million mark at March 31, 2022, representing an increase of $7.6 million over March 31, 2021 totals. As we move forward into 2022, we wish to thank our loyal customers, shareholders and team members for their continued support.”

As previously reported, on April 1, 2022 the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend in the amount of $0.20 per common share, payable on May 2, 2022 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on April 15, 2022.
