CFSB Bancorp, Inc. Announces 2022 Third Quarter and Year to Date Financial Results

 

Quincy, Massachusetts, May 10, 2022 – CFSB Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: CFSB) (the “Company”), the holding company for Colonial Federal Savings Bank (the “Bank”), reported a net loss of $828,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and a net loss of $122,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, compared to net income of $401,000 and $996,000 for the same periods in 2021.

President and Chief Executive Officer Michael E. McFarland said “In the third quarter, we completed our reorganization from a federal mutual savings bank into a two-tier federal mutual holding company form of organization and concurrent stock offering. As a part of that transaction, CFSB Bancorp, Inc. donated $1.6 million of cash and stock to our newly formed Colonial Federal Savings Bank Charitable Foundation. This will benefit both our institution and our local communities over many years. Our asset quality and the mix of our loan and investment portfolios continue to be strong. We expect performance to improve due to rising interest rates for the remainder of the year."

On January 12, 2022, the Company became the holding company for the Bank when it completed the reorganization of the Bank into a two-tier mutual holding company form of organization. In connection with the reorganization, the Company sold 2,804,306 shares of common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $28.0 million. The Company also contributed 130,433 shares of common stock and $250,000 in cash to the Colonial Federal Savings Bank Charitable Foundation and issued 3,586,903 shares of common stock to 15 Beach, MHC, its federally-chartered mutual holding company.

COVID-19 Impact

The Bank’s initiative to work with borrowers that were unable to meet their contractual obligations because of the effects of COVID-19 have been successful. As of March 31, 2022, we had 10 loans with $32,000 of remaining deferred principal, all of which were performing in accordance with their contractual terms.

Income Statement Analysis

Net interest income increased $183,000, or 9.8%, to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Net interest income increased $600,000, or 11.0%, to $6.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, from $5.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021. The increases were primarily due to an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets combined with a decrease in interest expense due to lower costing deposits, offset by a decrease of interest and fees on loans due to the lower interest rate environment.

We recorded a provision for loan losses of $1,000 and $15,000 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively, and $26,000 and $45,000 for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively. The allowance for loan losses was $1.7 million, or 1.00%, of total loans, at March 31, 2022, compared to $1.7 million, or 0.98%, of total loans, at March 31, 2021. We did not have any non-performing loans at either March 31, 2022 or 2021. We had $1,000 in charge-offs for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022. We did not have any charge-offs for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021. We had no recoveries for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022 or 2021.


Non-interest income increased $8,000, or 5.5%, to $153,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $145,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. For the nine months ended March 31, 2022, non-interest income increased $72,000, or 14.5%, to $570,000 compared to $498,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to a $48,000 gain realized on the sale of a seven-year U.S. Treasury security during the nine months ended March 31, 2022.

Non-interest expense increased $1.7 million, or 110.9%, to $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to the $1.6 million funding of the new charitable foundation, a $73,000 increase in salaries and employee benefit expense due to normal employee annual merit salary benefit increases and the expense recognized in connection with the Bank's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") that was established in the offering, and a $67,000 increase in other expenses due to increased consultant and audit expenses. For the nine months ended March 31, 2022, non-interest expense increased $2.0 million, or 41.4%, to $6.8 million from $4.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to the $1.6 million funding of the new charitable foundation, a $121,000 increase in salaries and employee benefit expense due to normal employee annual merit salary benefit increases and the expense recognized in connection with the ESOP, and a $250,000 increase in other expenses due to increased consultant and audit expenses.

Balance Sheet Analysis

Total assets were $362.5 million at March 31, 2022 representing an increase of $23.6 million, or 7.0%, from $338.9 million at June 30, 2021. Available for sale securities decreased $2.1 million to $231,000 at March 31, 2022 due to the sale of a $2.0 million seven-year U.S. Treasury security. Securities held to maturity increased $29.6 million, or 28.2%, to $134.7 million at March 31, 2022 as we invested excess cash into securities to increase our overall yield on our interest-earning assets. The increase was partially offset by paydowns, calls and maturities of $16.9 million. Net loans decreased $1.7 million, or 1.0%, to $172.8 million at March 31, 2022 from $174.4 million at June 30, 2021. The decrease was due to decreases of $515,000, or 3.2%, in multi-family real estate loans, $499,000 or 20.3%, in second mortgages and $1.1 million, or 6.5%, in commercial real estate loans, offset by increases of $393,000, or 0.3%, in one-to-four family residential real estate loans. The decreases in multi-family and commercial real estate loans reflected payoffs on properties sold by the borrower and repayments exceeding originations during the nine months ended March 31, 2022.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $3.4 million, or 8.4%, to $37.3 million at March 31, 2022 as a result of an increase in securities held to maturity, as we invested excess cash into securities to increase our overall yield on interest-earning assets.

Total stockholders' equity increased $25.1 million, or 51.4%, to $73.7 million at March 31, 2022 from $48.6 million at June 30, 2021. The increase was due to $26.4 million in funds received from the stock offering offset by a net operating loss of $122,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and $2.6 million for the purchase of 255,648 shares of common stock by the ESOP.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which can be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “plan,” “seek,” “expect,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “indicate,” “would,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “target” and words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results include increased competitive pressures, changes in the interest rate environment, general economic conditions or conditions within the securities markets, changes in the quality, size and composition of our loan and securities portfolios, changes in demand for our products and services, legislative, accounting, tax and regulatory changes and a failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, including cyberattacks that could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and the business in which the Company and the Bank are engaged.

Further, given its ongoing and dynamic nature, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including if the coronavirus can continue to be controlled and abated. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, the Company could be subject to any of the following risks, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations: demand for the Company’s products and services may decline, making it difficult to grow assets and income; if the economy worsens, loan delinquencies, problem assets and foreclosures may increase, resulting in increased charges and reduced income; collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value, which could cause loan losses to increase; the Company’s allowance for loan losses may have to be increased if borrowers experience financial difficulties, which will adversely affect the Company’s net income; and FDIC premiums may increase if the agency experiences additional resolution costs.

Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. CFSB Bancorp, Inc. undertakes no obligation to revise these forward-looking statements or to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release.
