PB BANKSHARES, INC. ANNOUNCES 2022 FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

Coatesville, Pennsylvania, April 27, 2022 — PB Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PBBK), the holding company for Presence Bank (the “Bank”), reported unaudited net income of $245,000 for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to $51,000 for the same period in 2021. Earnings per share (EPS) were $0.10 for the first quarter 2022.

Income Statement

Net interest income was $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $1.7 million, for the same period in 2021. The period over period increase was primarily due to the increase in interest income on loans driven by the increase in average loans and the decrease in interest expense on deposits.

The Company recorded a $90,000 provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to a $69,000 provision for loan losses, for the same period in 2021.  The increase in the provision for loan losses for the first quarter 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily due to loan growth during the current quarter. The allowance for loan losses was $3.2 million, or 1.16%, of loans outstanding at March 31, 2022 and $3.1 million, or 1.24%, of loans outstanding at December 31, 2021. Total non-performing assets decreased to $1.6 million at March 31, 2022 from $1.7 million at December 31, 2021.  The non-performing assets to total assets ratio was 0.43% and 0.52% as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Noninterest income was $122,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $153,000, for the same period in 2021. The primary reason for the decrease in noninterest income was $40,000 of unrealized loss on equity investments due to the decrease in market value of the associated asset for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $15,000 of loss for the same period in 2021.

Noninterest expense was $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $1.7 million, for the same period in 2021. The quarter over quarter increase was primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits, professional fees and Pennsylvania shares tax. The largest increase for the period was attributable to the Pennsylvania shares tax as the Bank in now subject to the tax as a result of the mutual to stock conversion.

Paycheck Protection Program

The Bank originated approximately $6.0 million of Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans in the first and second quarters of 2021.  As of March 31, 2022, all PPP loans originated by the


Bank were fully forgiven. $28,000 of loan income (interest and fees, net) for PPP loans was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Balance Sheet

Total assets increased $53.5 million to $368.4 million at March 31, 2022 from $314.9 million at December 31, 2021. The increase in assets was primarily due to increases in net loans receivable and cash and cash equivalents. Gross loans increased $25.5 million to $278.5 million, or 10.1%, at March 31, 2022 from December 31, 2021, primarily as a result of the increase in the commercial real estate portfolio as the Bank continues its focus on commercial lending. Cash and cash equivalents increased as a result of additional FHLB advances and the increase in deposit accounts. Deposits increased by $35.0 million to $286.1 million at March 31, 2022 from December 31, 2021, primarily due to increases in certificate of deposits, money market and interest-bearing demand deposits. Stockholders’ equity decreased $610,000 to $45.2 million at March 31, 2022 from $45.8 million at December 31, 2021 as a result of accumulated other comprehensive loss on the debt securities available-for-sale resulting from the increase in market interest rates, partially offset by current quarter net income.
