USCB Financial Holdings, Inc. Reports Diluted EPS of $0.14 for Q4 2023

January 25, 2024 at 16:45 PM EST

MIAMI, Jan. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- USCB Financial Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: USCB), the holding company for U.S. Century Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income of $2.7 million or $0.14 per diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to net income of $4.4 million or $0.22 per diluted share, for the same period in 2022.

“I am pleased to announce the results of a robust quarter at U.S. Century Bank, achieving loan production of $186 million with $150 million in loan fundings having a weighted average coupon of 8% on new loans,” said Luis de la Aguilera, Chairman, President, and CEO.

“Despite facing one of the most aggressive Federal Reserve tightening periods in history, we've observed a steady improvement in our operating environment. Our Net Interest Margin (NIM) improved 5 bps in comparison to the previous quarter. Additionally, our accumulated comprehensive loss also showed improvement in the fourth quarter decreasing by $7.0 million to $44.3 million, which has increased our stockholders equity and tangible book value. As part of our commitment to address NIM compression, we executed a $10 million loss trade transaction selling lower-yielding securities and reinvesting the funds in higher-yielding investments. Acknowledging the industry-wide impact of an inverted yield curve on earnings, our focus in 2024 is geared towards continued higher-yield loan production, deposit pricing discipline, and leveraging our proven business lines as lead deposit aggregators,” said de la Aguilera.
