Waterstone Financial, Inc. Announces Results of Operations for the Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

WAUWATOSA, Wis., Oct. 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Waterstone Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: WSBF), holding company for WaterStone Bank, reported net income of $5.3 million, or $0.25 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to $19.0 million, or $0.79 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Net income per diluted share was $0.83 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to net income per diluted share of $2.43 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

"We were pleased with the execution of the community banking segment as loan growth remained strong through the quarter,” said Douglas Gordon, Chief Executive Officer of Waterstone Financial, Inc. “We were able to grow our net interest income and expand margin at the community banking segment as we deployed our cash to fund loans. The results of the mortgage banking segment were disappointing and reflect the significant headwinds that the industry continues to face due to an increase in rates and resulting decline in demand. We continue to execute on cost containment measures, while we also seek opportunities to add production talent.”

Highlights of the Quarter Ended September 30, 2022

Waterstone Financial, Inc. (Consolidated)

  • Nonperforming assets as percentage of total assets was 0.27% at September 30, 2022, 0.39% at June 30, 2022, and 0.18% at September 30, 2021.
  • Past due loans as percentage of total loans was 0.48% at September 30, 2022, 0.60% at June 30, 2022, and 0.92% at September 30, 2021.
  • Book value per share was $16.86 at September 30, 2022 and $17.45 at December 31, 2021.  The decrease reflects an $0.80 per share impact resulting from an increase in the unrealized loss on available for sale securities.

Community Banking Segment

  • Pre-tax income totaled $8.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, which represents a $309,000, or 3.5%, decrease compared to $8.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.
  • Net interest income totaled $15.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, which represents a $1.4 million, or 10.1%, increase compared to $14.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.
  • Average loans held for investment totaled $1.31 billion during the quarter ended September 30, 2022, which represents an increase of $55.4 million, or 4.4%, compared to $1.26 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Average loans held for investment increased $63.7 million compared to $1.25 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
  • Net interest margin increased 66 basis points to 3.34% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to 2.68% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, which was a result of a decrease in the average balance of cash, as funds were utilized to fund loans held for investment, purchase investment securities and pay down borrowings. In addition, yields increased on loans receivable, loans held for sale, mortgage related securities, debt securities, federal funds sold and short term investments category. Net interest margin increased 32 basis points compared to 3.02% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, driven by an increase in weighted average yield on loans and weighted average yield on average debt securities, federal funds sold and short term investments. In addition, excess cash was utilized to fund loans held for investment and pay down borrowings.
  • The segment had a provision for credit losses of $234,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to a negative provision for loan losses of $750,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.  The increase was primarily due to an increase in loans held for investment during the quarter.
  • The efficiency ratio was 47.16% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to 48.74% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.
  • Average deposits (excluding escrow accounts) totaled $1.19 billion during the quarter ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $62.7 million, or 5.0%, compared to $1.25 billion during the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Average deposits decreased $14.9 million, or 4.9% annualized compared to the $1.21 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
  • Other noninterest expense increased $1.1 million to $1.5 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to $422,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The increase was driven by fees paid to the mortgage banking segment for the purchase of single-family adjustable rate mortgage loans. These fees are eliminated in the consolidated statements of income.

Mortgage Banking Segment

  • Pre-tax loss totaled $1.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to $15.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.
  • There was a $4.0 million gain on sale of mortgage servicing rights during the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to none during the three months ended September 30, 2022.
  • Loan originations decreased $286.4 million, or 26.9%, to $778.8 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to $1.06 billion during the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Origination volume relative to purchase activity accounted for 90.4% of originations for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to 73.8% of total originations for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.
  • Mortgage banking non-interest income decreased $24.0 million, or 46.8%, to $27.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to $51.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

  • Total compensation, payroll taxes and other employee benefits decreased $7.1 million, or 24.6%, to $21.8 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to $29.0 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The decrease primarily related to decreased commission expense and branch manager compensation driven by decreased loan origination volume and branch profitability as gross margins decreased.
  • Other noninterest expense increased $301,000 to $2.6 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to $2.3 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The increase related to an increase in provision of loan sale losses.
  • During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 the segment has added 11 branches and a total of 130 loan origination personnel.  Losses associated with these new branches totaled approximately $683,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 and $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. These branch losses are net of corporate revenue of approximately $492,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 and $599,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
