Net Income

Net income was $1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, as a result of an increase in deposit interest expense offset partially by an increase in interest income.
Net income was $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, as a result of an increase in deposit interest expense and recognition of the remaining fair value mark on acquired Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances that was recognized upon payoff during the first quarter 2022, partially offset by an increase in interest income.

Results of Operations

Net interest income was $6.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $7.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was due to an increase in deposit costs partially offset by an increase in interest income.
Net interest income was $27.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $29.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was due to an increase in deposit costs and recognition of the remaining fair value mark on acquired FHLB advances that was recognized upon payoff during the first quarter of 2022, partially offset by an increase in interest income.
Net interest margin for the three months ended December 31, 2023 decreased to 3.32% from 3.85% for the three months ended December 31, 2022. Net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2023 decreased to 3.35% from 4.14% for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decreases in the margin relate to increases in our costs of funds exceeding our increases in our yield on interest-earning assets. The decrease in the margin for the year ended December 31, 2023 was also impacted by the fair value mark on the FHLB advances from acquisition that was recognized upon payoff during the first quarter of 2022.
- Adjusted net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2023 (see Non-GAAP reconciliation) decreased 65 basis points from 4.00% for the year ended December 31, 2022 to 3.35%.
Noninterest income increased $40,000 to $606,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and had an increase of $64,000 to $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to 2022.
Non-interest expense decreased $209,000 to $5.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, due to decreases in salaries, occupancy, and advertising expenses offset by increases in data processing and other expenses. Non-interest expense decreased $808,000 to $21.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to 2022 and was a result of the FHLB prepayment penalties paid in the first quarter of 2022 and decreases in advertising expense and other expenses.

Financial Condition

Total assets increased $52.0 million to $843.3 million at December 31, 2023 from $791.3 million at December 31, 2022, as we increased cash to further enhance liquidity.
Total gross loans increased $13.6 million to $659.9 million at December 31, 2023 from $646.2 million at December 31, 2022.
Non-owner occupied office loans totaled $26.7 million at December 31, 2023; average loan-to-value ratio on these loans is 41.0%, including
- $11.0 million medical/dental tenants and
- $15.7 million to other various tenants.
Investment securities held-to-maturity unrealized losses were $277,000, net of tax. Investment securities available-for-sale unrealized losses were $6.3 million, net of tax.
Cash and cash equivalents increased $23.7 million to $50.0 million at December 31, 2023 from $26.3 million at December 31, 2022, primarily due to an increase in deposits and borrowings.
Deposits increased by $17.2 million to $674.4 million at December 31, 2023 compared to $657.2 million at December 31, 2022, in part due to an increase in certificates of deposits of $95.0 million offset by a $77.7 million decrease in non-time deposits, as customers increased deposits in higher-yielding accounts during the current interest rate environment. The certificates of deposit increase included brokered deposits issued in 2023 totaling $72.4 million. Brokered deposits have an average life of 2.4 years and an average interest rate of 4.87%.
Uninsured deposits were approximately $95.5 million at December 31, 2023 and represented 14.0% of total deposits, excluding deposits collateralized by public funds and internal accounts.
Borrowings increased by $30.0 million to $40.0 million at December 31, 2023 compared to $10.0 million at December 31, 2022 as we continue to evaluate borrowing needs related to enhancing bank liquidity.

Asset Quality

Non-performing loans increased to $7.4 million at December 31, 2023 from $6.7 million at December 31, 2022.
The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 120.1% at December 31, 2023, as compared to 138.8% at December 31, 2022.
Allowance for credit losses to total loans decreased to 1.35% at December 31, 2023 from 1.46% at December 31, 2022.
Net loan charge-offs were $404,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to net recoveries of $62,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022.
