"We are off to a solid start in 2022 with record earnings of $0.71 per diluted share," said Mark Mordell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our pipeline for new business has been strong for the past several quarters and although the numbers do not reflect the activity, we originated over $80 million of new loans in the first quarter, we also had over $90 million in payoffs primarily due to our Construction and Specialty Finance divisions. We continue to be optimistic about the remainder of 2022 as our pipeline for new business is very encouraging along with the additional benefits we will see from each increase in the fed funds rate," added Mr. Mordell.

Income Statement

Net interest income totaled $15.2 million for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of $3.3 million, or 28%, from the first quarter of 2021, and an increase of $919,000, or 26% annualized, from the fourth quarter of 2021. This was primarily driven by an increase in interest income from the growth in average balance of loans and investment securities.

The net interest margin was 3.05% in the first quarter of 2022, compared to 3.44% in the first quarter of 2021 and 2.90% in the fourth quarter of 2021. The linked quarter increase in net interest margin was primarily due to the purchase of investment securities and corresponding reduction in excess cash balances.

The yield on loans in the first quarter of 2022 was 4.73%, a decrease of 14 basis points from the first quarter of 2021 and a decrease of 0.06% from the fourth quarter of 2021. The linked quarter decrease was primarily due to a decrease in loan fees.

The cost of deposits in the first quarter of 2022 was 0.13%, a decrease of 7 basis points from the first quarter of 2021 and a decrease of 1 basis point from the fourth quarter of 2021. The cost of interest-bearing deposits in the first quarter of 2022 was 0.26%, a decrease of 5 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2021.

There was no required loan loss provision for the first quarter of 2022 compared with a $75,000 loan loss provision taken in the first quarter of 2021 and $3.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2021.

Non-interest income was $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to $711,000 in the first quarter of 2021 and $2.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Service charge income totaled $636,000 in the first quarter of 2022, an increase of $166,000, or 35% from the first quarter of 2021, and an increase of $59,000, or 41% annualized, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. The fourth quarter of 2021 included a gain on fund investments of $711,000 and $455,000 in warrant income.

Non-interest expense totaled $10.4 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to $9.0 million in the first quarter of 2021 and $9.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. This increase was primarily due to higher compensation costs. The number of full-time equivalent employees on March 31, 2022 totaled 130 compared to 126 on December 31, 2021. Regulatory assessments also increased to $664,000 in the first quarter of 2022 primarily as a result of the strong growth in deposits over the last several quarters.
