Fidelity D & D Bancorp, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

DUNMORE, Pa., July 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Fidelity D & D Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: FDBC) and its banking subsidiary, The Fidelity Deposit and Discount Bank, announced its unaudited, consolidated financial results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024.

Unaudited Financial Information

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was $4.9 million, or $0.86 diluted earnings per share, compared to $5.4 million, or $0.94 diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The $0.5 million decline in net income resulted primarily from the $0.4 million decrease in net interest income led by higher interest expense. The increase of $0.2 million in non-interest expenses and $0.2 million higher provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments was offset by the $0.4 million reduction in the provision for credit losses on loans.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net income was $10.0 million, or $1.73 diluted earnings per share, compared to $12.4 million, or $2.18 diluted earnings per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The $2.4 million, or 19%, decline in net income stemmed from the $2.4 million reduction in net interest income and $1.0 million higher non-interest expenses partially offset by the decreases of $0.5 million in provision for credit losses on loans and $0.4 million provision for income taxes.

“Second quarter results reflect our prudent balance sheet management and expense discipline,” stated Daniel J. Santaniello, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The elevated rates and ongoing inverted yield curve continue to compress the net interest margin, with early signs of margin stabilization. Our credit quality continues to remain strong, and we are well positioned to bolster shareholder value through growth in the second half of the year.”

Consolidated Second Quarter Operating Results Overview

Net interest income was $15.1 million for the second quarter of 2024, a 2% decrease over the $15.5 million earned for the second quarter of 2023. The $0.4 million decline in net interest income resulted primarily from the increase of $3.4 million in interest expense primarily due to an 82 basis point increase in the rates paid on interest-bearing deposits coupled with a $108.8 million quarter-over-quarter increase in average interest-bearing deposits, which resulted in $3.9 million in additional interest expense. The Company utilized $36.1 million less average short-term borrowings during the second quarter of 2024 which decreased interest expense by $0.4 million compared to the second quarter of 2023. Partially offsetting the higher interest expense, interest income grew $3.1 million primarily due to a $44.2 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets and a 46 basis point increase in fully-taxable equivalent (“FTE”) yield. The loan portfolio had the biggest impact, producing a $2.9 million increase in FTE interest income from $82.1 million in higher average balances and an increase of 46 basis points in FTE loan yield. 

The overall cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.58% for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 74 basis points from the 1.84% for the second quarter of 2023. The cost of funds increased 59 basis points to 1.96% for the second quarter of 2024 from 1.37% for the second quarter of 2023. The FTE yield on interest-earning assets was 4.58% for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 46 basis points from the 4.12% for the second quarter of 2023. The Company’s FTE (non-GAAP measurement) net interest spread was 2.00% for the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of 28 basis points from the 2.28% recorded for the second quarter of 2023. FTE net interest margin decreased by 11 basis points to 2.71% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from 2.82% for the same 2023 period due to the increase in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities accelerating at a faster pace than the yields on interest-earning assets.

The provision for credit losses on loans was $0.3 million coupled with a provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments of $0.1 million for the second quarter of 2024. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the provision for credit losses on loans decreased $0.4 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in the provision for credit losses on loans was due to lower growth in the loan portfolio and a reduction in net charge-offs. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments increased $0.2 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in the provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments was due to a higher growth in unfunded loan commitments, specifically commercial construction commitments.

Total non-interest income increased $0.1 million, or 2%, to $4.6 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $4.5 million for the second quarter of 2023. The increase in non-interest income was primarily attributable to $0.2 million higher fees from trust fiduciary activities and a $0.2 million loss on the write-down of premises and equipment that reduced non-interest income during the second quarter of 2023. Partially offsetting these increases, fees from commercial loans with interest rate hedges declined $0.3 million.

Non-interest expenses increased $0.2 million, or 1%, for the second quarter of 2024 to $13.6 million from $13.4 million for the same quarter of 2023. The increase in non-interest expenses was primarily due to $0.5 million higher salaries and benefits expense from higher salaries related to new hires and banker incentives. There were also increases in professional services of $0.1 million and PA shares tax of $0.1 million. Partially offsetting these increases, net fraud losses decreased by $0.3 million and FDIC assessment expense decreased by $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same quarter in 2023.

The provision for income taxes increased $0.2 million during the second quarter of 2024 primarily due to less tax credits compared to the second quarter of 2023.

Consolidated Year-To-Date Operating Results Overview

Net interest income was $30.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $32.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The $2.4 million, or 8%, reduction was the result of interest expense growing faster than interest income. On the asset side, the loan portfolio caused interest income growth by producing $5.9 million more in interest income from an increase of 47 basis points in FTE loan yields on $84.5 million in higher average balances. On the funding side, total interest expense increased by $8.8 million primarily due to an increase in interest expense paid on deposits of $9.2 million from a 102 basis point higher rate paid on a $98.6 million larger average balance of interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on borrowings of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.

The overall cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.54% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 1.59% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The cost of funds increased 78 basis points to 1.95% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from 1.17% from the same period of 2023. The FTE yield on earning assets was 4.55% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of 46 basis points from the 4.09% from year-to-date June 30, 2023. The Company’s FTE (non-GAAP measurement) net interest spread was 2.01% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of 49 basis points from the 2.50% recorded for the same period of 2023. FTE net interest margin decreased by 27 basis points to 2.70% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from 2.97% for the same 2023 period due to the increase in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities growing at a faster pace than the yields on interest-earning assets.

The provision for credit losses on loans was $0.4 million and the provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments was $90 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the provision for credit losses on loans decreased $0.5 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in the provision for credit losses on loans was due to lower growth in the loan portfolio and a reduction in net charge-offs.

Total non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $9.2 million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 2%, from $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to $0.3 million in additional trust fiduciary fees and $0.1 million higher fees from financial services. The Company also had $0.2 million more non-interest income resulting from a write-down of premises and equipment during the second half of 2023. Partially offsetting these increases were decreases as follows: $0.3 million in recoveries from acquired charged-off loans and $0.3 million in fees from commercial loans with interest rate hedges compared to the first half of 2023.

Non-interest expenses increased to $27.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $1.0 million, or 4%, from $26.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in non-interest expenses was primarily due to the $1.1 million increase in salaries and benefits expense coupled with an increase in professional fees of $0.3 million. The increases were partially offset by $0.4 million less in fraud losses and $0.2 million less advertising and marketing expenses. 

The provision for income taxes decreased $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to lower income before taxes. 

Consolidated Balance Sheet & Asset Quality Overview

The Company’s total assets totaled to $2.5 billion as of June 30, 2024, a decrease of $2.5 million from December 31, 2023. Cash and cash equivalents declined $33.9 million and the investment portfolio was reduced by $15.8 million. The decline in the investment portfolio was primarily due to $11 million in paydowns and a $2 million decrease in market value of available-for-sale securities. During the first six months of 2024, the market value of held-to-maturity securities also decreased by $4 million, with $31 million in unrealized losses at June 30, 2024. These decreases were partially offset by $42 million in growth in the loans and leases portfolio during the first half of 2024. During the same time period, total liabilities decreased $8.7 million, or less than 1%. Reductions of $18.9 million in short-term borrowings were partially offset by deposit growth of $10.7 million with the remainder paid from cash balances. Transactional deposit balances are down primarily from reductions in customers’ average account balances, stemming from investing part of their funds in higher yields and increased spending. This reduction was mitigated through promotional CD offerings throughout 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the ratio of insured and collateralized deposits to total deposits was approximately 76%.

Shareholders’ equity increased $6.2 million, or 3%, to $195.7 million at June 30, 2024 from $189.5 million at December 31, 2023. The increase was caused by retained earnings improvement from net income of $10.0 million, partially offset by $4.4 million in cash dividends paid to shareholders. At June 30, 2024, there were no credit losses on available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is excluded from regulatory capital ratios. The Fidelity Deposit and Discount Bank remains above well capitalized limits with Tier 1 capital at 9.30% of total average assets as of June 30, 2024. Total risk-based capital was 14.69% of risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 risk-based capital was 13.52% of risk-weighted assets as of June 30, 2024. Tangible book value per share was $30.52 at June 30, 2024 compared to $29.57 at December 31, 2023. Tangible common equity was 7.06% of total assets at June 30, 2024 compared to 6.79% at December 31, 2023.

Asset Quality

Total non-performing assets were $6.9 million, or 0.28% of total assets, at June 30, 2024, compared to $3.3 million, or 0.13% of total assets, at December 31, 2023. Past due and non-accrual loans to total loans were 0.53% at June 30, 2024 compared to 0.46% at December 31, 2023. Net charge-offs to average total loans were 0.03% at June 30, 2024 compared to 0.04% at December 31, 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures to provide information useful to the reader in understanding its operating performance and trends, and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. Management uses these measures internally to assess and better understand our underlying business performance and trends related to core business activities. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators other financial institutions use to measure their performance and trends. Non-GAAP financial measures should be supplemental to GAAP used to prepare the Company’s operating results and should not be read in isolation or relied upon as a substitute for GAAP measures.

Interest income was adjusted to recognize the income from tax exempt interest-earning assets as if the interest was taxable, fully-taxable equivalent (FTE), in order to calculate certain ratios within this document. This treatment allows a uniform comparison among yields on interest-earning assets. Interest income was FTE adjusted, using the corporate federal tax rate of 21% for 2024 and 2023.
