Patriot Reports Second Quarter 2022 Net Income of $1.3 million; continued growth in loans and deposits

STAMFORD, Conn., Aug. 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. (�Patriot,” “Bancorp” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PNBK), the parent company of Patriot Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), today announced net income of $1.3 million, or $0.32 basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to $800,000, or $0.20 per basic and diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2022 and net income of $1.0 million, or $0.26 basic and diluted earnings per share reported in the second quarter of 2021. The 2021 second quarter included the benefit of a non-recurring employee retention tax credit (“ERC”) of $1.1 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net income was $2.1 million, or $0.52 basic and diluted earnings per share, compared to a net income of $1.9 million, or $0.48 basic and $0.47 diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The first half of 2021 results included the recognition of an ERC of $2.0 million, while no ERC was recognized in 2022.

Along with reporting a substantial improvement in net interest income and strong earnings, the Bank reported loan growth of 16.2% and deposit growth of 13.1% compared to December 31, 2021. Net interest margin improved to 3.17% for the first half of 2022, up from 2.90% for the first half of 2021. The Bank’s prepaid debit card program continues to be an increasing, low-cost funding source and has tripled in size to $166.7 million as of June 30, 2022, from $50.0 million in July 2020. The portfolio growth provides a substantial improvement to the Bank’s net interest margin and overall funding costs.

Patriot President & CEO Robert Russell stated: “The Bank continued its path of strong financial performance and quality asset generation during the second quarter of 2022. Our net interest margin remained solid at 3.17%. The Bank remains focused on its balance sheet and improvement in nonperforming assets both of which had positive contributions during the quarter.

As disclosed on July 20, 2022, Patriot and American Challenger Development Corporation mutually agreed to terminate the previously announced Merger Agreement due to closing conditions that could not be attained. The parties remain in active discussions regarding the potential for a modified transaction. “Aside from our focus on meaningful strategic activities, Patriot’s organic platform and financial performance continues to grow and improve,” Russell added.

Financial Results:

As of June 30, 2022, total assets increased $100.7 million to $1.0 billion, as compared to $948.5 million on December 31, 2021, primarily due to the increase in net loans which increased from $729.6 million on December 31, 2021, to $849.2 million on June 30, 2022. Total deposits increased from $748.6 million on December 31, 2021, to $846.8 million on June 30, 2022.

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2022, was $7.7 million, an increase of $1.8 million or 30.0% from the second quarter of 2021. Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $14.4 million, an increase of $2.3 million or 19.7% from the first half of 2021. These increases were primarily attributable to the growth in the loan portfolio over the past year.

The Bank’s net interest margin showed continued improvement, with an increase to 3.17% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared with 2.90% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

A provision for loan losses of $275,000 was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. There was no provision for loans losses recorded in the second quarter and first half of 2021. As of June 30, 2022, the allowance for loan losses was 1.16% of total loans, compared with 1.34% on December 31, 2021.

Non-interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $798,000 and $753,000, respectively. Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, was $1.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The increase in the first half of 2022 was primarily attributable to gains from sales of SBA loans totaling $509,000 along with higher non-interest income from the prepaid card program.

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, was $6.5 million and $5.3 million, respectively. Non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, was $12.9 million and $10.7 million, respectively. The increase in the first half of 2022 was primarily due to an increase in salary and benefit expenses as the Company recognized an ERC of $2.0 million in the first half of 2021. The organization was no longer eligible for the ERC under the CARES Act program in 2022.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, a provision for income taxes of $787,000 was recorded, compared to a provision for income taxes of $702,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

As of June 30, 2022, shareholders’ equity was $59.8 million, compared with $67.3 million on December 31, 2021. Patriot’s book value per share was $15.11 on June 30, 2022, compared with $17.02 on December 31, 2021. The change was attributable to a decline in the market value of the Bank’s investment portfolio during the quarter associated with rising market interest rates.
