BRISTOL, PA / ACCESSWIRE / January 19, 2022 / William Penn Bancorporation ("William Penn" or the "Company") (NASDAQ CM:WMPN), the parent company of William Penn Bank (the "Bank"), today announced its financial results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021. William Penn recorded net income of $1.2 million and $2.3 million, or $0.08 and $0.16 per diluted share, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, respectively, compared to net income of $1.4 million and $2.0 million, or $0.09 and $0.14 per diluted share, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020. William Penn recorded core net income⁽¹⁾ of $1.1 million and $2.1 million, or $0.08 and $0.14 per diluted share, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, respectively, compared to core net income⁽¹⁾ of $1.0 million and $1.8 million, or $0.07 and $0.12 per diluted share, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020.

In addition, William Penn also announced that its Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.03 per share, payable on February 10, 2022, to common shareholders of record at the close of business on January 31, 2022.

Kenneth J. Stephon, William Penn's Chairman, President and CEO, stated "We are pleased that our strong financial condition allows us to pay our first quarterly cash dividend since the completion of the second-step conversion and stock offering in the amount of $0.03 per share. We continued to make good progress on our strategic priorities, despite the challenging operating environment. We improved our asset mix during the quarter, as we remain focused on the deployment of excess cash and the prudent management of our balance sheet to help us in achieving our strategic and financial growth goals. We used $79.0 million of cash during the quarter to purchase high-quality investment securities that we anticipate will provide a steady stream of cash flows both in the current and in rising interest rate environments. In addition, we had $27.3 million of new loan originations during the quarter. We have also experienced strong growth in core deposits, which increased at an annualized rate of 18.0% during the second quarter. We believe the recent opening of our new branch located in Hamilton Township in Mercer County, New Jersey will continue to bolster our core deposit growth."

Highlights for the three months ended December 31, 2021 are as follows:

William Penn recorded net income of $1.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted shares, and core net income⁽¹⁾ of $1.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share.
William Penn improved its asset mix and purchased $79.0 million of high-quality investment securities that it anticipates will provide a steady stream of cash flows both in the current and in rising interest rate environments.
William Penn originated $27.3 million of new loans, including $24.8 million of commercial loans.
Core deposits increased at an annualized rate of 18.0%.
William Penn's cost of deposits declined to 30 basis points during the three months ended December 31, 2021.
William Penn opened a new branch located in Hamilton Township in Mercer County, New Jersey.
Asset quality metrics continued to remain strong with non-performing assets to total assets of 0.61% as of December 31, 2021. Our allowance for loan losses totaled $3.6 million, or 0.77% of total loans and 1.10% of total loans, excluding acquired loans⁽²⁾ , as of December 31, 2021, compared to $3.6 million, or 0.78% of total loans and 1.19% of total loans, excluding acquired loans⁽²⁾ , as of June 30, 2021.
Book value per share measured $14.10 as of December 31, 2021 compared to $14.30 as of June 30, 2021. Tangible book value per share⁽³⁾ measured $13.72 as of December 31, 2021 compared to $13.92 as of June 30, 2021. The decline in both book value and tangible book value was primarily due to the payment of a $0.30 per share one-time special cash dividend in August 2021.

Statement of Financial Condition

Total assets increased $11.6 million, or 1.4%, to $834.0 million at December 31, 2021, from $822.4 million at June 30, 2021. The increase in total assets can primarily be attributed to a $117.5 million increase in total investments, a $2.5 million increase in bank-owned life insurance and a $4.6 million increase in other assets, partially offset by a $108.1 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents and a $4.4 million decrease in net loans.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $108.1 million, or 64.1%, to $60.6 million at December 31, 2021, from $168.7 million at June 30, 2021. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily driven by a $117.5 million increase in total investments, a $7.0 million decrease in advances from the FHLB and a $2.5 million increase in bank-owned life insurance, partially offset by a $17.7 million increase in deposits and a $4.4 million decrease in net loans.

Total investments increased $117.4 million, or 93.8%, to $242.6 million at December 31, 2021, from $125.2 million at June 30, 2021. During the six months ended December 31, 2021, the Company invested a portion of the excess cash on its statement of financial condition in available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, and other securities. The Company remains focused on maintaining a high-quality investment portfolio that provides a steady stream of cash flows both in the current and in rising interest rate environments.

Net loans decreased $4.4 million, or 1.0%, to $456.8 million at December 31, 2021, from $461.2 million at June 30, 2021. During the six months ended December 31, 2021, the Company originated $51.0 million of new loans that were more than offset by $55.4 million of loan paydowns and payoffs. The COVID-19 pandemic and low interest rate environment have created a highly competitive market for lending. The Company maintains conservative lending practices and is focused on lending to borrowers with high credit quality within its market footprint.

Bank-owned life insurance increased $2.5 million, or 7.1%, to $37.7 million at December 31, 2021, from $35.2 million at June 30, 2021. Management purchased $2.0 million of bank-owned life insurance during the six months ended December 31, 2021. Management believes that bank-owned life insurance is a low-risk investment alternative with an attractive yield.

Deposits increased $17.7 million, or 3.2%, to $570.8 million at December 31, 2021, from $553.1 million at June 30, 2021. The increase in deposits was primarily due to a $35.5 million increase in core deposits, partially offset by a $17.8 million decrease in time deposits. The decrease in time deposits was consistent with the planned run-off associated with our re-pricing of higher-cost, non-relationship-based deposit accounts.

Borrowings decreased $7.0 million, or 17.1%, to $34.0 million at December 31, 2021, from $41.0 million at June 30, 2021. The decrease in borrowings was due to the strategic prepayment of $7.0 million of higher-cost advances from the FHLB during the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Stockholders' equity decreased $3.0 million, or 1.4%, to $213.9 million at December 31, 2021, from $216.9 million at June 30, 2021. The decrease in stockholders' equity was primarily due to the payment of a $0.30 per share one-time special cash dividend in August 2021 totaling $4.6 million and a $1.0 million increase in the accumulated other comprehensive loss component of the unrealized loss on available-for sale securities, partially offset by $2.3 million of net income recorded during the six months ended December 31, 2021. Book value per share measured $14.10 as of December 31, 2021 compared to $14.30 as of June 30, 2021, and tangible book value per share⁽³⁾ measured $13.72 as of December 31, 2021 compared to $13.92 as of June 30, 2021.

Net Interest Income

For the three months ended December 31, 2021, net interest income was $5.5 million, a decrease of $69 thousand, or 1.2%, from the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to a decrease in interest income on loans, partially offset by an increase in the interest income on investments and a decrease in interest expense on deposits and borrowings. We improved our asset mix by utilizing some of the excess cash on our statement of financial condition to purchase high-quality investments resulting in an increase in the average balance and yield on investments. We also originated $27.3 million of new loans, including $24.8 million of commercial loans, that were offset by significant payoffs primarily in the residential portfolio. In addition, we experienced a $533 thousand decrease in interest expense primarily due to the re-pricing of deposits in the current low interest rate environment and the prepayment of advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh. The net interest margin measured 3.00% for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to 2.80% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 3.29% for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase in the net interest margin during the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to the previously mentioned improved asset mix. The year-over-year decrease in the net interest margin is consistent with the low interest rates and current margin compression that is primarily due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its continued impact on the economy and interest rate environment.

For the six months ended December 31, 2021, net interest income was $10.8 million, a decrease of $24 thousand, or 0.2%, from the six months ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to a decrease in interest income on loans, partially offset by an increase in the interest income on investments and a decrease in interest expense on deposits and borrowings. As previously discussed, we improved our asset mix by utilizing some of the excess cash we hold on our statement of financial condition to purchase high-quality investments resulting in an increase in interest income on investments. We also originated $51.0 million of new loans, including $42.8 million of commercial loans, that were offset by significant payoffs primarily in the residential portfolio. In addition, we experienced a $1.3 million decrease in interest expense primarily due to the re-pricing of deposits in the current low interest rate environment and the prepayment of advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh. The net interest margin measured 2.90% for the six months ended December 31, 2021 compared to 3.19% for the same period in 2020. The decrease in the net interest margin is consistent with the recent decrease in interest rates and current margin compression that is primarily due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its continued impact on the economy and interest rate environment.

Non-interest Income

For the three months ended December 31, 2021, non-interest income totaled $664 thousand, a decrease of $176 thousand, or 21.0%, from the three months ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a $454 thousand net gain on the disposition of premises recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2020 in connection with the sale of several properties acquired as part of the acquisitions of Fidelity Savings Association of Bucks County and Washington Savings Bank in May 2020. This decrease to non-interest income was partially offset by a $180 thousand increase in earnings on bank-owned life insurance due to the purchase of additional BOLI during the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022 and a $57 thousand increase in service fees consistent with our increase in core deposits.

For the six months ended December 31, 2021, non-interest income totaled $1.4 million, an increase of $129 thousand, or 10.4%, from the six months ended December 31, 2020. The increase in non-interest income was primarily due to a $306 thousand increase in earnings on bank-owned life insurance, a $140 thousand unrealized net gain on equity securities recorded during the six months ended December 31, 2021, a $92 thousand increase in the net gain on the sale of securities, and an $87 thousand increase in service fees consistent with our increase in core deposits. These increases to non-interest income were partially offset by a $469 thousand net gain on the disposition of premises recorded during the six months ended December 31, 2020 in connection with the sale of the previously discussed properties.

Non-interest Expense

For the three months ended December 31, 2021, non-interest expense totaled $4.8 million, an increase of $178 thousand, or 3.8%, from the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to a $270 thousand increase in salaries and employee benefits due to the addition of new employees in connection with the build out of the Company's commercial lending and credit functions and branch expansion, partially offset by a $90 thousand decrease in data processing expense.

For the six months ended December 31, 2021, non-interest expense totaled $9.7 million, an increase of $310 thousand, or 3.3%, from the six months ended December 31, 2020. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to a $428 thousand increase in salaries and employee benefits due to the addition of new employees in connection with the build out of the Company's commercial lending and credit functions and branch expansion and an $84 thousand increase in professional fees. These increases to non-interest expense were partially offset by a $97 thousand decrease in prepayment penalties associated with the prepayment of $7.0 million and $23.2 million of advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh during the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and a $91 thousand decrease in data processing expense.

Income Taxes

For the three months ended December 31, 2021, we recorded a provision for income taxes of $180 thousand, reflecting an effective tax rate of 13.3%, compared to a $370 thousand provision for income taxes, reflecting an effective tax rate of 21.2%, for the same period in 2020. For the six months ended December 31, 2021, we recorded a provision for income taxes of $150 thousand, reflecting an effective tax rate of 6.0%, compared to a $516 thousand provision for income taxes, reflecting an effective tax rate of 20.1%, for the same period in 2020. The decrease in the provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same periods a year ago is primarily due to a $53 thousand and a $288 thousand income tax benefit recorded during the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, respectively, related to refunds received associated with the carryback of net operating losses under the CARES Act and a decrease in income before income taxes. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same periods a year ago was also impacted by the previously discussed income tax benefit from refunds received associated with the carryback of net operating losses under the CARES Act.

Asset Quality

The provision for loan losses was a $30 thousand net recovery during the six months ended December 31, 2021 compared to an expense of $98 thousand during the six months ended December 31, 2020. The provision credit for the six months ended December 31, 2021 was primarily due to an improving economic outlook combined with continued stable asset quality metrics, including low levels of net charge-offs and a non-performing assets to total assets ratio of 0.61% as of December 31, 2021 as compared to 0.69% as of December 31, 2020. Our allowance for loan losses totaled $3.6 million, or 1.10% of total loans, excluding acquired loans⁽²⁾ , as of December 31, 2021, compared to $3.6 million, or 1.19% of total loans, excluding acquired loans⁽²⁾ , as of June 30, 2021.

Capital

The Bank's capital position remains strong relative to current regulatory requirements. The Bank continues to have substantial liquidity that has been retained in cash or invested in high quality government-backed securities. As of December 31, 2021, William Penn's tangible capital to tangible assets⁽⁴⁾ totaled 25.14%. In addition, at December 31, 2021, we had the ability to borrow up to $286.9 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh. The federal regulators issued a final rule, effective January 1, 2020, that set the elective community bank leverage ratio at 9% of tier 1 capital to average total consolidated assets. The Bank has elected to follow this alternative framework. As of December 31, 2021, William Penn Bank had a community bank leverage ratio of 18.81% and is considered well-capitalized under the prompt corrective action framework.

The following tables include a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to their comparable GAAP measures.
