ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., July 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ConnectOne Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: CNOB) (the “Company” or “ConnectOne”), parent company of ConnectOne Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income available to common stockholders of $30.8 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared with $29.9 million for the first quarter of 2022 and $32.2 million for the second quarter of 2021. Diluted earnings per share were $0.78 for the second quarter of 2022 compared with $0.75 in the first quarter of 2022 and $0.81 in the second quarter of 2021. The increase in net income available to common stockholders and diluted earnings per share from the first quarter of 2022 was primarily due to an increase in net interest income of $5.2 million and an increase in noninterest income of $0.3 million, partially offset by an increase in provision for credit losses of $1.6 million, an increase in noninterest expenses of $2.5 million, and an increase in income tax expense of $0.5 million. The decrease in net income available to common stockholders and diluted earnings per share from the second quarter of 2021 was primarily due to an increase in provision for credit losses of $4.6 million, an increase in noninterest expenses of $5.4 million, an increase in preferred dividends of $1.5 million, a decrease in noninterest income of $1.1 million, and an increase in income tax expenses of $1.2 million, partially offset by an increase in net interest income of $12.6 million.
Frank Sorrentino, ConnectOne’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, “We again demonstrated the effectiveness of our relationship-banking business model by delivering solid second quarter financial results. Pre-tax, pre-provision earnings as a percent of assets increased to 2.28%, while return on assets was 1.56%, and return on tangible common equity was 15.3%. In addition, our net interest margin expanded, the efficiency ratio remained below 40% and the nonperforming asset ratio declined. Notably, our tangible book value per share has increased by more than 10% over the last twelve months to $20.79, reflecting both strong earnings and prudent management of our available-for-sale securities portfolio.”
“Organic growth remains strong at ConnectOne. The loan portfolio increased sequentially by 17% on an annualized basis, reflecting both our strong origination franchise and market conditions, while noninterest-bearing deposits grew by 20% on an annualized basis. Non-interest demand deposits now represent a record of 26% of total deposits. The loan and deposit growth also reflects the success of our strategy to invest in, and further strengthen, our origination franchise. In that regard, we are gaining traction in all our markets including Florida, where we are successfully leveraging our client-centric culture to both originate commercial loans and grow deposits with existing ConnectOne clients as well as new Florida-based businesses. And we continue to capitalize on disruption caused by industry M&A by hiring experienced bankers, which facilitates organic expansion into synergistic geographies and verticals.”
“Our tech-first philosophy creates opportunities for back-office efficiencies, additional distribution channels and increased revenue. Investments we’ve made over the years are paying dividends, allowing us to scale efficiently while improving internal processes such as loan underwriting and closing processes. We continue to make investments to enhance our commercial banking model, deliver best-in-class client experience and optimize our operations. To that end, we are excited to announce a partnership with MANTL to help streamline and digitize our entire deposit onboarding processing. This partnership, along with other technologies we are implementing, will modernize client onboarding, create new verticals, and provide better penetration into existing business lines.” Mr. Sorrentino added, “We’re building for the future and, even with these investments, we are confident in our ability to remain one of the most efficient banks in the industry.”

Operating Results
Fully taxable equivalent net interest income for the second quarter of 2022 was $76.1 million, an increase of $5.3 million, or 7.5%, from the first quarter of 2022 resulting primarily from a 2.0% sequential increase in average loans, a 12% sequential increase in average investment securities and a 20 basis-point widening of the net interest margin to 3.91% from 3.71%. The increase net interest margin primarily reflected an increase in total interest-earning asset yields of 26 basis points, resulting from increased rates on total loans and securities, along with an improved mix away from lower yielding assets, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased by only 8 basis-points. Excluding purchase accounting adjustments, the adjusted net interest margin was 3.86% for the second quarter of 2022 and 3.64% for the first quarter of 2022. Included in interest income in the second quarter 2022 was a $1.5 million recovery on a purchased credit deteriorated (PCD) loan. Also included in interest income in the second and first quarters of 2022 was the accretion of Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) fee income of $2.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Remaining deferred and unrecognized PPP fees were $0.3 million as of June 30, 2022.
Fully taxable equivalent net interest income for the second quarter of 2022 increased by $12.7 million, or 20.1%, from the second quarter of 2021. The increase from the second quarter of 2021 resulted primarily from a 12.1% increase in average loans, a 37.3% increase in average investment securities, and a 31 basis-point widening of the net interest margin to 3.91% from 3.60%. The widening of the net interest margin resulted from a 24 basis-point increase in the yield on average interest-earning assets and a 7 basis-point reduction in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
Noninterest income was $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2022, $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2022 and $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2021. Included in noninterest income were net losses on equity securities of $0.4 million and $0.6 million for the second quarter 2022 and first quarter 2022, respectively. Excluding the equity securities losses, adjusted noninterest income was $3.8 million, $3.7 million and $4.5 million for the second quarter 2022, first quarter 2022 and second quarter 2021, respectively. The $0.1 million increase in adjusted noninterest income for the current quarter versus the first quarter 2022 was primarily due to an increase in deposit, loan, and other income of $0.1 million and an increase on income of bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) of $0.1 million, partially offset by decreases in net gains on loans held-for-sale of $0.1 million. The $0.7 million decrease in adjusted noninterest income for the current quarter versus the second quarter 2021 was primarily due to a decrease in PPP fee income earned by BoeFly of $0.7 million, a decrease in net gains on loans held-for-sale of $0.3 million, and a decrease in net gains on sale/redemption of investment securities of $0.2 million, partially offset by increases in deposit, loan, and other income of $0.4 million and an increase in BOLI income of $0.2 million.
Noninterest expenses totaled $31.7 million for the second quarter of 2022, $29.2 million for the first quarter of 2022 and $26.3 million for the second quarter of 2021. Included in noninterest expense during the first quarter of 2022 was a $0.9 million favorable dissolution of a merger lease obligation. Excluding that item, noninterest expenses increased by $1.6 million from the first quarter of 2022 and was primarily attributable to an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $0.9 million, professional and consulting of $0.3 million, other expenses of $0.2 million, acquisition expenses related to BoeFly of $0.2 million, and marketing and advertising of $0.1 million. The increase in noninterest expenses of $5.4 million from the second quarter of 2021 was primarily attributable to increases in salaries and employee benefits of $4.2 million and BoeFly acquisition expense of $0.8 million. The increase in salaries and employee benefits from the prior sequential quarter and prior year quarter was attributable to increased staff in both the revenue and back-office areas of the bank, base salary increases, and bonus accruals.
Income tax expense was $11.9 million for the second quarter of 2022, $11.4 million for the first quarter of 2022 and $10.7 million for the second quarter of 2021. The effective tax rates for the second quarter of 2022, first quarter of 2022 and second quarter of 2021 were 26.9%, 26.6% and 24.8%, respectively.
Asset Quality
The provision for (reversal of) credit losses was $3.0 million for the second quarter of 2022, $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2022 and $(1.6) million for the second quarter of 2021. The provision for credit losses during the second quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2022 reflected strong organic loan growth and forecasted macroeconomic conditions, which remained fairly stable from the sequential quarter. The reversal of provision for credit losses during the second quarter of 2021 was the result of improved forecasted macroeconomic conditions when compared to the prior period.
Nonperforming assets, which includes nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned, were $61.1 million as of June 30, 2022, $61.7 million as of December 31, 2021 and $56.2 million as of June 30, 2021. Nonaccrual loans were $60.8 million as of June 30, 2022, $61.7 million as of December 31, 2021 and $56.2 million as of June 30, 2021. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets were 0.69% as of June 30, 2022, 0.76% as of December 31, 2021 and 0.73% as of June 30, 2021. The ratio of nonaccrual loans to loans receivable was 0.84%, 0.90% and 0.88%, as of June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. The annualized net loan charge-offs ratio was 0.02% for the second quarter of 2022, 0.01% for the fourth quarter of 2021 and 0.01% for the second quarter of 2021. The allowance for credit losses represented 1.14%, 1.15%, and 1.23% of loans receivable as of June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Excluding PPP loans, the allowance for credit losses represented 1.14%, 1.17%, and 1.29% of loans receivable as of June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of nonaccrual loans was 136.2% as of June 30, 2022, 127.7% as of December 31, 2021 and 140.0% as of June 30, 2021.
Selected Balance Sheet Items
The Company’s total assets were $8.8 billion as of June 30, 2022, an increase of $712.0 million from December 31, 2021. Loans receivable were $7.3 billion, an increase of $446.0 million from December 31, 2021. The increase in loans receivable was attributable to organic loan originations.
The Company’s total stockholders’ equity was $1.1 billion as of June 30, 2022, an increase of $18.9 million from December 31, 2021. The increase in retained earnings of $49.5 million was the primary reason for the overall increase in stockholders’ equity, in addition to an increase in additional paid-in capital of $0.3 million, partially offset by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $17.7 million, reflecting the after-tax decline in the fair value of investment securities net of unrealized hedge gains recorded in other assets, and an increase in treasury stock of $13.1 million. As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s tangible common equity ratio and tangible book value per share were 9.46% and $20.79, respectively.
