Please see the tables attached hereto for a reconciliation of these and other non-GAAP financial measures.

Michael E.

Looking ahead, we are cautiously optimistic that the worst impacts of inflation have subsided and we are encouraged by a resilient residential real estate market."

Fourth Quarter Operating Results

Net interest income, on a fully tax-equivalent basis decreased by $260,000, or 11.9%, to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to a 75 basis point increase in the average rate paid for certificates of deposit, partially offset by a $6.3 million decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits and a five basis point increase in the average yield earned for interest-earning assets. The interest earned on loans increased $19,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The interest earned on loans benefited from rising interest rates, partially offset by a $978,000 decrease in the average balance of loans to $178.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The net interest margin decreased by 28 basis points to 2.31% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from 2.59% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Net interest income, on a fully tax-equivalent basis decreased by $270,000, or 12.3%, to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The net interest margin decreased by 20 basis points to 2.31% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from 2.51% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decline was primarily due to a 187 basis point increase in the average rate paid for certificates of deposit, partially offset by an $8.6 million decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits and a 50 basis point increase in the average yield earned for interest-earning assets. The interest earned on loans increased $126,000, to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The interest earned on loans benefited from rising interest rates and a $4.6 million increase in the average balance of loans during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

The Company did not record a provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2023, March 31, 2023 or June 30, 2022. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.98%, 0.98% and 1.00% at June 30, 2023, March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

Non-interest income increased $16,000, or 10.8%, to $164,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 from $148,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, due to an increase of $14,000 in other income.

Non-interest income decreased $2,000, or 1.2%, to $164,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $166,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, principally due to a decrease of $9,000 in income on bank-owned life insurance.

Non-interest expenses increased $32,000, or 1.7%, to $1.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 from $1.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The increase was due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits expense of $43,000, or 3.9%, primarily attributed to stock-based compensation expense. In addition, FDIC insurance expense increased $23,000 from the prior quarter due to increases to insurance premiums. Partially offsetting the increase in non-interest expenses was a $49,000 decrease in other general and administrative expenses, primarily related to declines in printing expenses for tax forms and expenses related to the annual meeting expense held in the prior quarter.

Non-interest expenses increased $184,000, or 10.5%, to $1.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 from $1.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The increase was principally due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $110,000, or 10.6%, attributed to an increase in headcount and stock-based compensation expense and due to increases in occupancy and equipment expenses of $47,000, or 20.7%, attributed to increases in service contracts.

Income tax expense was $19,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $47,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $12,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 was due to decreases in income before income taxes. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 was due to the impact of the charitable foundation contribution made during the prior year.

Annual Operating Results

Net interest income increased on a fully tax-equivalent basis by $534,000, or 6.4%, to $8.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2023 from $8.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2022. Interest and dividend income increased $1.4 million, or 15.4%, to $10.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2023, from $9.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2022 due to the increase in interest-earning assets of $6.6 million from the prior year due to an increase in the average balance of securities and loans, and due to higher average yields earned on securities and cash and short-term investments. An increase in the average balance of loans of $7.1 million, or 4.1%, contributed to a $193,000 increase in loan income, partially offset by a four basis point decline in the average yield earned. An increase in the average balance of securities of $27.5 million, or 22.4%, and a 27 basis point increase in the average yield earned on securities contributed to a $1.0 million increase in securities income. Partially offsetting the increase in interest and dividend income was a $906,000 increase in interest expense. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the interest paid on certificates of deposit of $880,000 from the prior year due to an 88 basis point increase in the cost of such deposits, partially offset by a $4.1 million decrease in the average balance of certificates of deposit. The net interest margin improved 11 basis points for the year ended June 30, 2023, to 2.61%, from 2.50% in the prior year.

The Company did not recognize a provision for loan losses for the year ended June 30, 2023, compared to a provision for loan losses for the year ended June 30, 2022 of $26,000.

Non-interest income decreased $31,000, or 4.5%, to $664,000 for the year ended June 30, 2023 from $695,000 in the prior year, principally due to a $56,000 gain on sale of securities available for sale during the year ended June 30, 2022. There were no sales of securities during the year ended June 30, 2023. Excluding the gain on sale of securities available for sale, which management believes was a non-recurring operating activity, non-interest income would have increased $25,000, or 3.9% from the prior year, due to increases in customer service fees.

Non-interest expenses decreased $814,000, or 9.6%, to $7.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2023 from $8.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2022. A $1.6 million charitable foundation contribution made during the year ended June 30, 2022 was the primary reason for the decline in non-interest expense from the prior year. Excluding this item, which management considers to be a non-recurring item, non-interest expense would have increased $740,000, or 10.7%, for the year ended June 30, 2023. Salaries and benefits increased $420,000, or 10.3%, to $4.5 million, due to annual increases to salaries and health insurance of employees, an increase in headcount and the addition of stock-based compensation and ESOP expense in the current year. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $145,000, or 16.4%, to $1.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2023 from $883,000 for the year ended June 30, 2022, due to the renewal of a branch lease in the current fiscal year and for increases to service maintenance contracts. Other general and administrative expense increased $119,000, or 8.7% from the prior year due to increases in professional fees.

Income tax expense was $301,000 for the year ended June 30, 2023 compared to an income tax benefit of $52,000 for the year ended June 30, 2022. The income tax benefit during the year ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to the charitable foundation established in connection with the Bank's mutual holding company reorganization.

Balance Sheet

At June 30, 2023, total assets amounted to $349.0 million, compared to $351.7 million at March 31, 2023, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 0.8%, as a $3.1 million decrease in securities held to maturity and a $1.0 million decrease in net loans were partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in cash and cash equivalents. The decrease in net loans was due to decreased loan demand in the higher interest rate environment. Deposits decreased by $6.6 million, or 2.5%, in the quarter, as the Bank is experiencing decreases of customer deposits with the absence of government stimulus, increases in inflation and competition, in addition to mix-shift changes by depositors to higher-yielding term certificates due to the higher interest rate environment. Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston advances were $3.7 million at June 30, 2023 to add liquidity in light of the decreases in customer deposits.

Total stockholders' equity was $75.9 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $75.7 million at March 31, 2023. The increase of $215,000 reflects net income of $105,000, earned ESOP compensation of $19,000, and stock-based award expense of $90,000.

Total assets at June 30, 2023 decreased $17.2 million, or 4.7%, from $366.2 million at June 30, 2022. Contributing to the decrease in assets was a decrease of $24.8 million in cash and cash equivalents to $6.9 million at June 30, 2023 from $31.7 million at June 30, 2022, partially offset by a $2.7 million increase in securities held to maturity and $3.3 million in loan growth. Commercial real estate loans increased by $5.6 million, or 37.7%, as we focused on diversifying our loan mix. Total deposits decreased by $23.7 million, or 8.3%, to $263.4 million at June 30, 2023 from $287.1 million at June 30, 2022, principally due to decreases in customer deposits with the absence of government stimulus, increases in inflation and competition, in addition to mix-shift changes by depositors to higher-yielding term certificates in the higher interest rate environment. Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston advances were $3.7 million at June 30, 2023 to add liquidity in light of the decreases in customer deposits.

Total stockholders' equity was $75.9 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $74.3 million at June 30, 2022. The increase of $1.6 million was due to net income earned during the previous year of $1.4 million, earned ESOP compensation of $86,000 and stock-based award expense of $109,000.
