In This Article:

LOS ANGELES, July 26, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CBB Bancorp, Inc. ("CBB" or the "Company') (OTCQX: CBBI), the holding company of Commonwealth Business Bank, doing business as "CBB Bank" (the "Bank"), announced today net income of $5.5 million for the second quarter 2024, or $0.51 per diluted share compared to $5.7 million in the first quarter 2024, or $0.54 per diluted share.

OVERALL RESULTS

Net income for the second quarter 2024 decreased from the first quarter primarily due to lower net interest income and gain on sale of loans, offset by a lower provision for credit losses and noninterest expenses. The return on average assets for the second quarter 2024 was 1.31% compared to 1.32% for the first quarter 2024 and 1.79% for the second quarter 2023. The return on average equity for the second quarter 2024 was 9.06% compared to 9.57% for the first quarter 2024 and 14.76% for the second quarter 2023. The efficiency ratio for the second quarter 2024 was 55.69% compared to 54.68% for the first quarter 2024 and 47.29% for the second quarter 2023.

James Hong, President and CEO, commented, "Amidst the dynamic economic environment, we are charting a course through a landscape of changes exploring new opportunities. While the rise in interest rates presents its own set of challenges, it also opens up avenues for growth. Our loan portfolios, funding costs, net interest margins, and overall revenue are being reshaped in this process. Embracing these changes, we have turned to technology as our ally. We have seen a robust increase in the adoption of online account openings, internet banking, and mobile banking among our existing and new customers. This is a testament to our resilience and adaptability in the face of adversity."

INCOME STATEMENT

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the second quarter 2024 was $15.4 million, a decrease of $444 thousand, or 2.8%, quarter over quarter, and a decrease of $3.4 million, or 18.0% compared to the second quarter 2023.

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $31.2 million, a decrease of $6.6 million or 17.6% compared to the same period last year. The decrease in net interest income was due to the higher cost of interest-bearing deposits as maturing time deposits were rolled over into higher interest rate CDs.

Net Interest Margin

The net interest margin for both the second and first quarters 2024 was 3.77% and 4.23% for the second quarter 2023. The decrease in the net interest margin compared to the same quarter 2023 was due to higher cost of funds. The cost of funds for the second quarter 2024 increased four basis points to 3.52% compared to 3.48% in the previous quarter and 2.53% in the second quarter 2023.
