    BALANCE SHEET

    Total assets at June 30, 2023 decreased $0.3 billion to $11.2 billion from $11.5 billion at March 31, 2023, and increased $2.7 billion from $8.5 billion at June 30, 2022. At June 30, 2023, total loans and leases were $9.3 billion, representing an increase of $0.1 billion from March 31, 2023, and an increase of $2.0 billion from June 30, 2022. The loan portfolio grew $0.1 billion in the second quarter compared to growth of $1.6 billion in the first quarter, primarily driven by the completion of the acquisition of PCSB Financial Corporation ("PCSB").

    Total investment securities at June 30, 2023 decreased $156.8 million to $910.2 million from $1.1 billion at March 31, 2023, and increased $192.4 million from $717.8 million at June 30, 2022. Total cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2023 decreased $261.9 million to $224.4 million from $486.3 million at March 31, 2023, and increased $134.1 million from $90.3 million at June 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, total investment securities and total cash and cash equivalents represented 10.1 percent of total assets compared to 13.5 percent and 9.5 percent as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

    Total deposits at June 30, 2023 increased $60.6 million to $8.52 billion from $8.46 billion at March 31, 2023, consisting of a $110.1 million increase in core deposits (which include demand checking, NOW, money market and savings accounts) and certificate of deposit accounts, partially offset by a $49.5 million decrease in brokered deposits, and increased $1.6 billion from $6.9 billion at June 30, 2022, primarily driven by the completion of the PCSB acquisition.

    Total borrowed funds at June 30, 2023 decreased $403.8 million to $1.2 billion from $1.6 billion at March 31, 2023, and increased $748.1 million from $478.2 million at June 30, 2022.

    The ratio of stockholders’ equity to total assets was 10.37 percent at June 30, 2023, compared to 10.11 percent at March 31, 2023, and 11.38 percent at June 30, 2022. The ratio of tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets (non-GAAP) was 8.16 percent at June 30, 2023, compared to 7.94 percent at March 31, 2023, and 9.65 percent at June 30, 2022. Tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) decreased $0.01 from $10.08 at March 31, 2023 to $10.07 at June 30, 2023, compared to $10.51 at June 30, 2022.

    NET INTEREST INCOME

    Net interest income remained consistent quarter over quarter at $86.0 million. The net interest margin decreased 10 basis points to 3.26 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from 3.36 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily driven by higher funding costs.

    NON-INTEREST INCOME

    Total non-interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 decreased $7.5 million to $5.5 million from $12.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by a combined $3.0 million decline in gain on sales of loans and investment, $2.0 million decline in derivative income, and $2.0 million impact from the mark to market on interest rate swaps.

    PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

    The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $5.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $25.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The higher provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2023 was primarily driven by the acquisition of PCSB as well as loan growth.

    Total net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2023 were $1.1 million compared to $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in net charge-offs on equipment financing loans of $0.6 million. The ratio of net loan and lease charge-offs to average loans and leases on an annualized basis increased to 5 basis points for the second quarter of 2023 from 2 basis points for the first quarter of 2023.

    The allowance for loan and lease losses represented 1.35 percent of total loans and leases at June 30, 2023, compared to 1.31 percent at March 31, 2023, and 1.28 percent at June 30, 2022.

    ASSET QUALITY

    The ratio of nonperforming loans and leases to total loans and leases was 0.50 percent at June 30, 2023, an increase from 0.31 percent at March 31, 2023. Total nonaccrual loans and leases increased $17.9 million to $46.3 million at June 30, 2023 from $28.5 million at March 31, 2023. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.42 percent at June 30, 2023, an increase from 0.25 percent at March 31, 2023. Total nonperforming assets increased $18.0 million to $46.9 million at June 30, 2023 from $29.0 million at March 31, 2023. The increase in nonperforming assets was primarily driven by a $9.3 million commercial relationship and a $2.8 million commercial real estate relationship.

    NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

    Non-interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 decreased $7.0 million to $57.8 million from $64.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by decreases of $5.4 million in merger and acquisition expense, $3.1 million in compensation and employee benefits expense, and $0.4 million in occupancy expense, partially offset by an increase of $1.4 million in FDIC insurance expense and an increase of $0.6 million in professional services expense.

    PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

    The effective tax rate was 21.4 percent and 19.4 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 12.8 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 25.2 percent for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

    RETURNS ON AVERAGE ASSETS AND AVERAGE EQUITY

    The annualized return on average assets increased to 0.78 percent during the second quarter 2023 from 0.27 percent for the first quarter of 2023.

    The annualized return on average stockholders' equity increased to 7.44 percent during the second quarter of 2023 from 2.61 percent for the first quarter of 2023. The annualized return on average tangible stockholders’ equity increased to 9.67 percent for the second quarter of 2023 from 3.43 percent for the first quarter of 2023.

We may also make forward-looking statements in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), in our annual reports to shareholders, in press releases and other written materials, and in oral statements made by our officers, directors or employees. You can identify forward looking statements by the use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “assume,” “outlook,” “will,” “should,” and other expressions that predict or indicate future events and trends and which do not relate to historical matters, including statements regarding the Company’s business, credit quality, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. Forward-looking statements may differ, possibly materially, from what is included in this press release due to factors and future developments that are uncertain and beyond the scope of the Company’s control. These include, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to achieve the synergies and value creation contemplated by the acquisition of PCSB; turbulence in the capital and debt markets; changes in interest rates; competitive pressures from other financial institutions; general economic conditions (including inflation and concerns about liquidity) on a national basis or in the local markets in which the Company operates; changes in consumer behavior due to changing political, business and economic conditions, or legislative or regulatory initiatives; changes in the value of securities and other assets in the Company’s investment portfolio; increases in loan and lease default and charge-off rates; the adequacy of allowances for loan and lease losses; decreases in deposit levels that necessitate increases in borrowing to fund loans and investments; operational risks including, but not limited to, cybersecurity incidents, fraud, natural disasters, and future pandemics; changes in regulation; the possibility that future credit losses may be higher than currently expected due to changes in economic assumptions and adverse economic developments; the risk that goodwill and intangibles recorded in the Company’s financial statements will become impaired; and changes in assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties which are difficult to predict. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of, among others, the risks outlined in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings submitted to the SEC. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made.
