Comments from President and Chief Executive Officer
“We are very pleased with our result for the quarter with net income increasing by 15.2% over the prior quarter driven by a 13.1% increase in net interest income. Loans held-for-portfolio increased $27.9 million offsetting continued PPP loan forgiveness by the SBA, reflecting our emphasis on organic portfolio growth. Although, deposits increased only modestly this quarter, we achieved continued growth in noninterest-bearing deposits which favorably impacted our cost of funds,” remarked Ms. Stewart, President, Chief Executive Officer.

Operating Results
Net interest income increased $966 thousand, or 13.1%, to $8.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to $7.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and increased $1.7 million, or 24.9%, from $6.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily the result of higher interest income earned on loans and lower interest expense paid on deposits. The increase from the same quarter last year was primarily the result of lower interest expense paid on deposits, higher interest income earned on loans, and higher interest income earned on investments and interest-bearing cash, partially offset by higher interest expense paid on subordinated debt.
Interest income increased $687 thousand, or 8.2%, to $9.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to $8.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and increased $594 thousand, or 7.0%, from $8.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The increase from the prior quarter was due to a 15 basis point increase in loan yields. The Bank recognized $1.1 million, $1.0 million, and $522 thousand in deferred fees and interest income related to PPP loans during the three months ended September 30, 2023, June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2020, respectively. Approximately 90% of the nearly $119.2 million of total PPP loans the Bank originated were forgiven as of September 30, 2023, compared to approximately 70% as of June 30, 2023. The increase in interest income from the same quarter last year was due primarily to a 62 basis point increase in the average loan yield, partially offset by lower average loan balances.
Interest income on loans increased $668 thousand, or 8.0%, to $9.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to $8.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, and increased $545 thousand, or 6.5%, from $8.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The average balance of total loans was $652.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to $628.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and $693.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The average yield on total loans was 5.45% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to 5.30% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and 4.83% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The increase in the average yield on loans during the current quarter compared to the prior quarter primarily was due to higher loan yields primarily due to U.S. Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) PPP loan forgiveness, partially offset by new loan originations at lower rates, primarily related to fixed rate mortgage loans. The increase in the average yield on loans during the current quarter compared to the same quarter in 2020 was primarily due to the recognition of the net deferred fees for PPP loans repaid and forgiven by the SBA partially offset by adjustable rate loans resetting downward. Refer to the net interest margin discussion below for the impact of PPP. Interest income on investments and interest-bearing cash increased $19 thousand to $135 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to $116 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, and increased $49 thousand from $86 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. This increase compared to the same quarter one year ago was due to higher average balances of interest-earning cash reflecting the increase in deposits between the periods, partially offset by lower average yields.
Interest expense decreased $279 thousand, or 26.2%, to $785 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and decreased $1.1 million, or 57.5%, from $1.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily due to both a lower average rate paid and average balance of certificate accounts. The average rate paid on certificate accounts declined 33 basis points to 1.27% while the average balance declined $39.0 million, or 22.3%, to $135.8 million during the current quarter compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2023. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the average balance of noninterest-bearing deposits due in part to increases in the balances of existing account relationships, as well as deposit growth from new commercial loan relationships. The decrease in interest expense during the current quarter from the comparable period a year ago was primarily the result of a 67 basis point decline in the average cost of deposits reflecting reduced rates paid on all deposits, a $103.5 million or 43.3% decline in the average balance of certificate accounts and the repayment of $40.5 million in FHLB advances, partially offset by the interest expense on subordinated notes issued in the third quarter of 2020 and a $159.1 million or 48.0% increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits other than certificate accounts. In addition, total deposit costs were favorably impacted by the $2.9 million increase in average balance of noninterest bearing deposits to $182.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $179.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and the $37.9 million increase from the same period last year. The increase in the average noninterest bearing deposits contributed to the 15 basis point decrease in the average cost of total deposits to 0.30% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, from 0.45% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, and the decline of 67 basis points from 0.97% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The average cost of borrowings decreased to 5.74% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, from 5.81% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, and increased from 1.04% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The average cost of subordinated debt and borrowings increased from the same period a year ago reflecting the issuance of the subordinated notes and repayment of FHLB borrowings.
Net interest margin (annualized) was 3.74% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to 3.36% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and 3.27% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The increase in net interest margin from the prior quarter was due primarily to the higher average yield earned on loans and an 18 basis point decline in the cost of total interest-bearing liabilities. The increase from the comparable period in 2020 was primarily due to decline in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities following decreases in the short-term market rates in the second quarter of 2020 exceeding the decline in yields earned on interest-earning assets. During the third quarter of 2023, the average yield earned on PPP loans, including the recognition of the net deferred fees for PPP loans repaid and forgiven by the SBA, resulted in a positive impact to the net interest margin of 41 basis points during the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to a positive impact of 24 basis points during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, and a negative impact of five basis points during the quarter ended September 30, 2020.
The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $175 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $250 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, and $275 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in the provision for loan losses for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2023 resulted primarily from a positive adjustment in the qualitative factors applied to real estate related loans as a result of the improvement in economic conditions related to the strong housing market, partially offset by an increase in the loans held-for-portfolio and $1.6 million increase in non-performing loans. The decrease in the provision for loan losses in the current quarter compared to the comparable period in 2020 was primarily due to a decrease in the balance of loans held-for-portfolio, a positive adjustment to the qualitative factors applied to real estate related loans as a result of improvement in economic conditions related to the strong housing market, and to a lesser extent a $247 thousand decrease in non-performing loans. The provision for loan losses in the third quarter of 2023 also reflects the inherent economic improvements in our markets as initial COVID-19 restrictions implemented in the second quarter of last year have been lifted.
Noninterest income decreased $281 thousand, or 16.4%, to $1.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to $1.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and decreased $637 thousand, or 30.8%, from $2.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The change in noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to both the three months ended June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023, primarily resulted from the decline in the net gain on sale of loans, partially offset by an increase in the fair value adjustment on mortgage servicing rights. As a result of refinance activity slowing over the past quarter, our residential loans originated for sale decreased and prepayment speeds on residential mortgage loans slowed positively affecting the fair value of mortgage servicing rights. Loans sold during the quarter ended September 30, 2023, totaled $20.3 million, compared to $39.9 million and $89.5 million during the quarters ended June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2020, respectively.
Noninterest expense increased $330 thousand, or 5.5%, to $6.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to $6.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and increased $788 thousand, or 14.2%, from $5.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The increase from the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was primarily a result of an increase in salaries and benefits expense of $198 thousand primarily due to higher wages and incentive compensation resulting from the tight labor market and an increase in headcount. The increase in noninterest expense compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits of $632 thousand primarily due to higher wages and incentive compensation and lower deferred compensation, partially offset by a decrease in commission expense related to a decline in mortgage activity in third quarter of 2023 as compared to the same period in 2020. Data processing expense also increased $101 thousand due to technology investments and variable costs associated with loan origination system activity.
The efficiency ratio for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was 64.81%, compared to 66.07% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and 63.36% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The improvement in the efficiency ratio for the current quarter compared to the prior quarter is primarily due to higher net interest income in the current quarter, partially offset by lower noninterest income and higher noninterest expense. The weakening in the efficiency ratio for the current quarter compared to the same period in the prior year is primarily due to higher noninterest expense, partially offset by slightly higher revenues.
Balance Sheet Review, Capital Management and Credit Quality
Assets at September 30, 2023 totaled $928.1 million, compared to $923.2 million at June 30, 2023 and $867.4 million at September 30, 2020. The increase in assets from the sequential quarter was primarily due to an increase in loans held-for-portfolio and an increase in loans held-for-sale, partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents. The increase from one year ago was primarily a result of higher balances in cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by decreases in loans held-for-sale and loans held-for-portfolio, primarily as a result of PPP loans being forgiven by the SBA.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $30.1 million, or 12.7%, to $206.7 million at September 30, 2023, compared to $236.8 million at June 30, 2023, and increased $90.9 million, or 78.6%, from $115.8 million at September 30, 2020. The decrease from the prior quarter-end was due to deploying cash earning a nominal yield into higher earning loans. The increase from a year ago was due to significant deposit growth due to new PPP relationships and growth of existing client balances.
Available-for-sale securities totaled $7.1 million at September 30, 2023, compared to $7.5 million at June 30, 2023, and $13.3 million at September 30, 2020. The decrease in available-for-sale securities from the prior quarter was primarily due to regularly scheduled payments and maturities. The decrease from the same period one year ago was primarily due to calls of securities, regularly scheduled payments and maturities, partially offset by purchases during the fourth quarter of 2020.
Loans held-for-sale totaled $3.9 million at September 30, 2023, compared to $3.7 million at June 30, 2023 and $16.1 million at September 30, 2020.
Loans held-for-portfolio increased to $667.6 million at September 30, 2023, compared to $639.6 million at June 30, 2023 and decreased from $689.4 million at September 30, 2020. The increase in loans held-for-portfolio at September 30, 2023, compared to the prior quarter, primarily resulted from a $24.0 million, or 14.1%, increase in one-to-four family loans driven largely by the origination of jumbo mortgages during the third quarter of 2023, a $9.7 million, or 13.5%, increase in construction and land loans, and a $15.2 million, or 18.9%, in consumer loans almost entirely due to floating home loans. These increases were partially offset by a $23.3 million, or 38.9% decrease in commercial business loans resulting from the forgiveness by the SBA of $24.3 million of commercial business PPP loans during the quarter. The decrease in loans held-for-portfolio at September 30, 2023, compared to the comparable quarter in 2020, primarily resulted from a $74.4 million, or 67.0% decrease in commercial business loans, and a $29.1 million, or 10.5% decrease in commercial and multifamily loans, partially offset by a $54.0 million, or 38.5% increase in one-to-four family loans, a $9.4 million, or 13.0% increase in construction and land loans, and a $20.0 million or 26.4%, increase in consumer loans primarily due to $16.0 million, or 37.6% increase in floating home loans. At September 30, 2023, commercial and multifamily real estate loans accounted for approximately 36.9% of total loans, one-to-four family loans, including home equity loans accounted for approximately 31.2% of total loans, and commercial business loans accounted for approximately 5.6% of total loans. Consumer loans accounted for approximately 14.3% of total loans and construction and land loans accounted for approximately 12.2% of total loans at September 30, 2023.
Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”), which are comprised of nonaccrual loans, including nonperforming troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) loans on nonaccrual status, other real estate owned (“OREO”), and other repossessed assets, increased $1.6 million, or 73.3%, to $3.7 million at September 30, 2023, from $2.2 million at June 30, 2023 and decreased $163 thousand, or 4.2% from $3.9 million at September 30, 2020. The increase in nonperforming assets during the period compared to the prior period primarily was due to a $1.5 million increase in nonperforming one-to-four family loans consisting of three properties. NPAs to total assets were 0.40%, 0.23% and 0.45% at September 30, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2020, respectively. The allowance for loan losses to total loans outstanding was 0.95%, 0.96% and 0.87% at September 30, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2020, respectively. Excluding PPP loans of $11.8 million which are 100% guaranteed by the SBA, the allowance for loan losses totaled 0.96% of total loans outstanding at September 30, 2023, compared to 1.02% of total loans outstanding at June 30, 2023, excluding PPP loans of $36.0 million, and 0.97% of total loans outstanding at September 30, 2020, excluding PPP loans of $74.8 million (See Non-GAAP reconciliation on page 16). Net loan charge-offs during the third quarter of 2023 totaled $5 thousand compared to net charge-offs of $28 thousand for the second quarter 2023, and net charge-offs of $318 thousand for the third quarter of 2020.
We are continuing to provide payment relief for both consumer and business clients, most of which relief involves interest only or payment deferrals that range from 90 to 180 days. Deferred loans are re-evaluated at the end of the deferral period and will either return to the original loan terms or be reassessed at that time to determine if a further modification should be granted and if a downgrade in risk rating is appropriate. As of September 30, 2023, we had residential and commercial loans under payment relief related to COVID-19 as summarized below (dollars in thousands):

The foregoing weighted average loan-to-values are based on appraisals obtained at the time of loan origination and the current loan amount. All of these loan modifications have been made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and are not classified as troubled debt restructurings pursuant to applicable accounting and regulatory guidance until the earlier of 60 days after the national emergency termination date or January 1, 2023. We believe the steps we are taking are necessary to effectively manage our portfolio and assist our clients through the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the duration, impact and government response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

(1) Represents a non-GAAP financial measure. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures at the end of this earnings release for a reconciliation of our non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
Deposits increased $2.9 million, or 0.4%, to $807.7 million at September 30, 2023, compared to $804.7 million at June 30, 2023 and increased $58.8 million, or 7.9%, from $748.9 million at September 30, 2020. The increase in deposits compared to the prior quarter was primarily a result of increases in the balances of existing account relationships, as well as deposit growth from new commercial loan relationships, partially offset by a managed run-off of higher costing maturing deposits. The increase in deposits compared to the year ago quarter was primarily the result of disbursements of PPP loan proceeds into borrowers’ deposit accounts as well as stimulus funds deposited, developing further relationships with PPP borrowers who were not previously clients, as well as reduced withdrawals reflecting changes in customer spending habits due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our noninterest-bearing deposits increased $13.0 million, or 7.1% to $194.8 million at September 30, 2023, compared to $181.8 million at June 30, 2023 and increased $42.6 million, or 28.0% from $152.2 million at September 30, 2020. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 24.1%, 22.6% and 20.3% of total deposits at September 30, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2020, respectively.
There were no outstanding FHLB advances at both September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, compared to $7.5 million at September 30, 2020. Subordinated debt, net totaled $11.6 million at both September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023 as compared to $11.7 million at September 30, 2020.
Stockholders’ equity totaled $91.9 million at September 30, 2023, an increase of $2.4 million, or 2.6%, from $89.5 million at June 30, 2023, and an increase of $9.6 million, or 11.6%, from $82.3 million at September 30, 2020. The increase in stockholders’ equity from June 30, 2023 was primarily the result of net income earned of $2.6 million, partially offset by the payment of $446 thousand in dividends to Company stockholders during the current quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have presented a non-GAAP financial measure in addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP for the allowance for loan losses to total loans excluding PPP loans. We have presented this non-GAAP financial measure because management believes this non-GAAP measure to be a useful measurement in evaluating the adequacy of the amount of the allowance for loan losses to total loans as the balance of SBA PPP loans, which are guaranteed by the SBA, has been significant to the loan portfolio. This non-GAAP financial measure has inherent limitations and is not required to be uniformly applied. Further, this non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the allowance for loan losses to total loans determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other financial institutions. Reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measurement is presented in the table below.
