Hanover Bancorp, Inc. Reports Earnings for the Second Quarter and Declares $0.10 Quarterly Cash Dividend
Second Quarter Performance Highlights
• Net Income: Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 totaled $0.8 million (after giving effect to an allowance for credit loss (“ACL”) on an individually evaluated loan of $2.5 million and a $1.1 million provision resulting from ongoing enhancements to the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model) or $0.11 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares), versus $4.1 million or $0.55 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares) in the prior linked quarter and $3.1 million or $0.42 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares) in the comparable 2023 quarter.
• Net Interest Income: Net interest income was $13.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $0.3 million, or 2.4% from the prior linked quarter and a decrease of $0.3 million, or 1.9% from the June 30, 2023 quarter.
• Net Interest Margin: The Company’s net interest margin during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 increased to 2.46% from 2.41% in the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
• Strong Non-interest Income: The Company’s non-interest income increased $0.1 million or 1.3% from the quarter ended March 31, 2024 and $1.6 million or 83.5% from the quarter ended June 30, 2023. This quarter’s non-interest income was a record for the Company when considering continuing revenues. Although non-interest income was higher for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, those results included income from a litigation settlement.
• Strong Liquidity Position: At June 30, 2024, undrawn liquidity sources, which include cash and unencumbered securities and secured and unsecured funding capacity, totaled $648.2 million or approximately 254% of uninsured deposit balances.
• Deposit Activity: Core deposits, consisting of Demand, NOW, Savings and Money Market, increased $95.4 million or 6.9% from December 31, 2023 and $24.8 million or 1.7% from March 31, 2024. Total deposits increased $37.3 million or 2.0% from December 31, 2023 and $24.7 million or 1.3% from March 31, 2024.

The Company’s commercial real estate concentration ratio continued to improve, decreasing to 403% of capital at June 30, 2024 from 432% of capital at December 31, 2023. Current and future loan growth will primarily be in residential loan products originated for sale to specific buyers in the secondary market, C&I and SBA loans, which strategically enhances our management of liquidity and capital while producing additional non-interest income.
• Asset Quality: At June 30, 2024, the Bank’s asset quality remained solid with non-performing loans totaling $15.8 million, representing 0.79% of the total loan portfolio, and the allowance for credit losses equaling 1.17% of total loans.

• Tangible Book Value Per Share: Tangible book value per share (including Series A preferred shares) was $23.05 at June 30, 2024 compared to $22.51 at December 31, 2023 (inclusive of a one-time CECL implementation adjustment of $3.2 million, net of tax, or $0.43 per share, recorded on October 1, 2023) and $22.26 at June 30, 2023.

Earnings Summary for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2024
The Company reported net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 of $4.1 million or $0.55 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares), versus $3.2 million or $0.43 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares) in the comparable 2023 quarter and $3.8 million or $0.51 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares) for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. Diluted EPS increased 27.9% from March 31, 2023 and 7.8% from December 31, 2023. Returns on average assets and average stockholders’ equity were 0.74% and 8.70%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, versus 0.68% and 7.24%, respectively, for the comparable quarter of 2023, and 0.69% and 8.10%, respectively, for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. ROTCE was 9.71% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared to 8.12% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and 9.06% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. ROTCE increased in the current quarter by 19.6% from the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and 7.2% from the quarter ended December 31, 2023.
The increase in net income recorded in the first quarter of 2024 from the comparable 2023 quarter resulted from an increase in non-interest income and a decrease in the provision for credit losses, which were partially offset by an increase in non-interest expense, primarily in occupancy and equipment. Additionally, net interest income decreased due to the continued impact of higher funding costs resulting from the rapid rise in interest rates driven by the Federal Reserve. Finally, the Company’s effective tax rate increased to 24.9% in the first quarter of 2024 from 23.2% in the comparable 2023 period due to increased business in other states, related to our SBA and USDA lending program.
Net interest income was $12.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 7.1%, versus the comparable 2023 period due to compression of the Company’s net interest margin to 2.41% in the 2024 quarter from 3.04% in the comparable 2023 quarter. The yield on interest earning assets increased to 6.03% in the 2024 quarter from 5.47% in the comparable 2023 quarter, an increase of 56 basis points that was offset by a 139 basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 4.33% in 2024 from 2.94% in the first quarter of 2023. The rapid rise in interest rates driven by the Federal Reserve and, to a lesser extent, the Company’s decision to maintain increased liquidity due to market conditions resulted in the higher cost of funds. Net interest income on a linked quarter basis increased $0.3 million or 2.18%.
Michael P. Puorro, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the Company’s quarterly results: “Our first quarter results reflect linked quarter increases of 7.84% and 7.17%, and year over year increases of 27.91% and 19.58%, in diluted EPS and ROTCE, respectively, due to the continued expansion of our SBA and C&I Banking verticals. Our investments in these initiatives anticipated the current interest rate environment, enabling our continued strategic growth despite the persistence of uncertain economic conditions. We are very pleased with these results and remain committed to disciplined expense management and selective growth in scalable, profitable business verticals to drive results in the immediate future. Longer term, we believe our balance sheet is well-positioned for favorable changes in the interest rate environment predicted by many economists.”
Balance Sheet Highlights
Total assets at March 31, 2024 were $2.31 billion versus $2.27 billion at December 31, 2023. Total securities available for sale at March 31, 2024 were $92.7 million, an increase of $31.3 million from December 31, 2023, primarily driven by growth in U.S. Treasury securities.
Total deposits at March 31, 2024 increased to $1.92 billion compared to $1.90 billion at December 31, 2023. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, total deposits increased $12.7 million or 0.7% from December 31, 2023. Our loan to deposit ratio was 105% at March 31, 2024 and 103% at December 31, 2023.
Although core deposits, comprised of Demand, NOW, Savings and Money Market, grew to $1.45 billion as of March 31, 2024 from $1.38 billion as of December 31, 2023, Demand deposit balances decreased from $207.8 million to $202.9 million during the same period. This decrease was confined to deposits made by residential loan borrowers in anticipation of residential loan closings. These funds comprise the equity residential borrowers are required to contribute to residential loan closings and the volume of these deposits rise and fall in proportion to the volume of anticipated residential loan closings. As the pace of residential lending increases, the volume of Demand deposits will increase accordingly. Demand deposits, net of balances related to residential loan closings, grew to $180.4 million as of March 31, 2024 from $166.4 million as of December 31, 2023, an increase of 8.5%, underscoring the continued success of our C&I Banking vertical.
The Company had $576.3 million in total municipal deposits at March 31, 2024, at a weighted average rate of 4.65% versus $528.1 million at a weighted average rate of 4.62% at December 31, 2023. The Company’s municipal deposit program is built on long-standing relationships developed in the local marketplace. This core deposit business will continue to provide a stable source of funding for the Company’s lending products at costs lower than those of consumer deposits and market-based borrowings. The Company continues to broaden its municipal deposit base and currently services 37 customer relationships.
Total borrowings at March 31, 2024 were $149.0 million, including $2.3 million in Federal Reserve Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility advances, with a weighted average rate and term of 3.94% and 24 months, respectively. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $121.7 million and $126.7 million, respectively, of term FHLB advances outstanding. The Company had $5.0 million of FHLB overnight borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2024 and none at December 31, 2023. The Company had $20.0 million in borrowings outstanding under lines of credit with correspondent banks at March 31, 2024 and none at December 31, 2023. The Company utilizes a number of strategies to manage interest rate risk, including interest rate swap agreements which currently provide a benefit to net interest income.
Stockholders’ equity was $189.5 million at March 31, 2024 compared to $184.8 million at December 31, 2023. The $4.7 million increase was primarily due to an increase of $3.3 million in retained earnings and a decrease of $1.2 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The increase in retained earnings was due primarily to net income of $4.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, which was offset by $0.7 million of dividends declared. The accumulated other comprehensive loss at March 31, 2024 was 0.68% of total equity and was comprised of a $1.2 million after tax net unrealized loss on the investment portfolio and a $0.1 million after tax net unrealized loss on derivatives.
Loan Portfolio Growth, Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses
On a linked quarter basis, the Company exhibited net loan growth of $48.3 million, a 9.9% increase on an annualized basis. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2024, the Bank’s loan portfolio grew to $2.01 billion, for an increase of 12.2%. Year over year growth was concentrated primarily in residential, SBA and C&I loans. At March 31, 2024, the Company’s residential loan portfolio (including home equity) amounted to $756.9 million, with an average loan balance of $493 thousand and a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 57%. Commercial real estate and multifamily loans totaled $1.12 billion at March 31, 2024, with an average loan balance of $1.5 million and a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 60%. The Company’s commercial real estate concentration ratio continued its steady decline, decreasing to 416% of capital at March 31, 2024 from 432% of capital at December 31, 2023, with loans secured by office space accounting for 2.3% of the total loan portfolio and totaling $46.0 million. The Company’s loan pipeline at March 31, 2024 is approximately $220 million, with approximately 95% being niche-residential, conventional C&I and SBA and USDA lending opportunities.
Historically, the Bank generated additional income by strategically originating and selling residential and government guaranteed loans to other financial institutions at premiums, while also retaining servicing rights in some sales. However, with increases in interest rates in recent years, the appetite among the Bank’s purchasers of residential loans for acquiring pools of loans declined, eliminating the Bank’s ability to sell residential loans in its portfolio on desirable terms. Commencing in late 2023, the Bank initiated development of a flow origination program under which the Bank expects to originate individual loans for sale to specific buyers, thereby positioning the Bank to resume residential loan sales and generate fee income to complement sale premiums earned from the origination of SBA loans. During the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company sold $26.7 million and $12.8 million, respectively, of SBA loans and recorded gains on sale of loans held-for-sale of $2.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
The pace of new residential loan applications is historically slower in the first quarter and was more so in the first quarter of 2024 due to our intentional and continued prioritization of loan pricing over loan volume. As volume builds as the year progresses and we commence originations under our flow lending program, we expect the volume of applications to grow. A more diversified residential lending program is expected to provide greater flexibility with respect to earnings, liquidity and asset management.
The Bank’s asset quality ratios remain strong and among the best in its peer group of community banks. At March 31, 2024, the Company reported $14.9 million in non-performing loans which represented 0.74% of total loans outstanding. Of the non-performing loans, $8.3 million are legacy Savoy Bank originated loans that were either written down to fair value at the acquisition date or are 100% guaranteed by the SBA. Non-performing loans were $14.5 million at December 31, 2023. During the first quarter of 2024, the Bank recorded a provision for credit losses expense of $0.3 million. The March 31, 2024, allowance for credit losses balance was $19.9 million versus $19.7 million at December 31, 2023 and $14.9 million at March 31, 2023. The increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans is mostly attributable to additional provisioning related to increased loan volume. The allowance for credit losses as a percent of total loans was 0.99% at March 31, 2024 versus 1.00% at December 31, 2023.
Office Property Exposure
The Bank’s exposure to the Office market is minor at $46 million (2% of all loans), has a 1.8x weighted average DSCR, a 55% weighted average LTV and less than $400 thousand of exposure in Manhattan. The portfolio has no delinquencies, defaults or modifications.
Net Interest Margin
The Bank’s net interest margin increased to 2.41% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 from 2.40% in the quarter ended December 31, 2023. The increase from the prior linked quarter was primarily related to the increase in the average yield on loans and decrease in the average cost of borrowings, partially offset by the increase in the average cost of deposits. The Bank’s net interest margin was 3.04% in the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The decrease from the prior year quarter was primarily related to the increase in the total cost of funds, partially offset by the increase in the average yield on loans and, to a lesser extent, the Company’s decision to increase liquidity as a result of the recent industry events. The year over year margin compression reflects the effects of the rapid and significant rise in interest rates and the competitive deposit environment. We believe the Company is well positioned for the current or more favorable interest rate environments.

Earnings Summary for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2024
The Company reported net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 of $4.1 million or $0.55 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares), versus $3.2 million or $0.43 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares) in the comparable 2023 quarter and $3.8 million or $0.51 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares) for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. Diluted EPS increased 27.9% from March 31, 2023 and 7.8% from December 31, 2023. Returns on average assets and average stockholders’ equity were 0.74% and 8.70%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, versus 0.68% and 7.24%, respectively, for the comparable quarter of 2023, and 0.69% and 8.10%, respectively, for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. ROTCE was 9.71% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared to 8.12% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and 9.06% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. ROTCE increased in the current quarter by 19.6% from the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and 7.2% from the quarter ended December 31, 2023.
The increase in net income recorded in the first quarter of 2024 from the comparable 2023 quarter resulted from an increase in non-interest income and a decrease in the provision for credit losses, which were partially offset by an increase in non-interest expense, primarily in occupancy and equipment. Additionally, net interest income decreased due to the continued impact of higher funding costs resulting from the rapid rise in interest rates driven by the Federal Reserve. Finally, the Company’s effective tax rate increased to 24.9% in the first quarter of 2024 from 23.2% in the comparable 2023 period due to increased business in other states, related to our SBA and USDA lending program.
Net interest income was $12.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 7.1%, versus the comparable 2023 period due to compression of the Company’s net interest margin to 2.41% in the 2024 quarter from 3.04% in the comparable 2023 quarter. The yield on interest earning assets increased to 6.03% in the 2024 quarter from 5.47% in the comparable 2023 quarter, an increase of 56 basis points that was offset by a 139 basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 4.33% in 2024 from 2.94% in the first quarter of 2023. The rapid rise in interest rates driven by the Federal Reserve and, to a lesser extent, the Company’s decision to maintain increased liquidity due to market conditions resulted in the higher cost of funds. Net interest income on a linked quarter basis increased $0.3 million or 2.18%.
Michael P. Puorro, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the Company’s quarterly results: “Our first quarter results reflect linked quarter increases of 7.84% and 7.17%, and year over year increases of 27.91% and 19.58%, in diluted EPS and ROTCE, respectively, due to the continued expansion of our SBA and C&I Banking verticals. Our investments in these initiatives anticipated the current interest rate environment, enabling our continued strategic growth despite the persistence of uncertain economic conditions. We are very pleased with these results and remain committed to disciplined expense management and selective growth in scalable, profitable business verticals to drive results in the immediate future. Longer term, we believe our balance sheet is well-positioned for favorable changes in the interest rate environment predicted by many economists.”
Balance Sheet Highlights
Total assets at March 31, 2024 were $2.31 billion versus $2.27 billion at December 31, 2023. Total securities available for sale at March 31, 2024 were $92.7 million, an increase of $31.3 million from December 31, 2023, primarily driven by growth in U.S. Treasury securities.
Total deposits at March 31, 2024 increased to $1.92 billion compared to $1.90 billion at December 31, 2023. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, total deposits increased $12.7 million or 0.7% from December 31, 2023. Our loan to deposit ratio was 105% at March 31, 2024 and 103% at December 31, 2023.
Although core deposits, comprised of Demand, NOW, Savings and Money Market, grew to $1.45 billion as of March 31, 2024 from $1.38 billion as of December 31, 2023, Demand deposit balances decreased from $207.8 million to $202.9 million during the same period. This decrease was confined to deposits made by residential loan borrowers in anticipation of residential loan closings. These funds comprise the equity residential borrowers are required to contribute to residential loan closings and the volume of these deposits rise and fall in proportion to the volume of anticipated residential loan closings. As the pace of residential lending increases, the volume of Demand deposits will increase accordingly. Demand deposits, net of balances related to residential loan closings, grew to $180.4 million as of March 31, 2024 from $166.4 million as of December 31, 2023, an increase of 8.5%, underscoring the continued success of our C&I Banking vertical.
The Company had $576.3 million in total municipal deposits at March 31, 2024, at a weighted average rate of 4.65% versus $528.1 million at a weighted average rate of 4.62% at December 31, 2023. The Company’s municipal deposit program is built on long-standing relationships developed in the local marketplace. This core deposit business will continue to provide a stable source of funding for the Company’s lending products at costs lower than those of consumer deposits and market-based borrowings. The Company continues to broaden its municipal deposit base and currently services 37 customer relationships.
Total borrowings at March 31, 2024 were $149.0 million, including $2.3 million in Federal Reserve Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility advances, with a weighted average rate and term of 3.94% and 24 months, respectively. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $121.7 million and $126.7 million, respectively, of term FHLB advances outstanding. The Company had $5.0 million of FHLB overnight borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2024 and none at December 31, 2023. The Company had $20.0 million in borrowings outstanding under lines of credit with correspondent banks at March 31, 2024 and none at December 31, 2023. The Company utilizes a number of strategies to manage interest rate risk, including interest rate swap agreements which currently provide a benefit to net interest income.
Stockholders’ equity was $189.5 million at March 31, 2024 compared to $184.8 million at December 31, 2023. The $4.7 million increase was primarily due to an increase of $3.3 million in retained earnings and a decrease of $1.2 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The increase in retained earnings was due primarily to net income of $4.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, which was offset by $0.7 million of dividends declared. The accumulated other comprehensive loss at March 31, 2024 was 0.68% of total equity and was comprised of a $1.2 million after tax net unrealized loss on the investment portfolio and a $0.1 million after tax net unrealized loss on derivatives.
Loan Portfolio Growth, Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses
On a linked quarter basis, the Company exhibited net loan growth of $48.3 million, a 9.9% increase on an annualized basis. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2024, the Bank’s loan portfolio grew to $2.01 billion, for an increase of 12.2%. Year over year growth was concentrated primarily in residential, SBA and C&I loans. At March 31, 2024, the Company’s residential loan portfolio (including home equity) amounted to $756.9 million, with an average loan balance of $493 thousand and a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 57%. Commercial real estate and multifamily loans totaled $1.12 billion at March 31, 2024, with an average loan balance of $1.5 million and a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 60%. The Company’s commercial real estate concentration ratio continued its steady decline, decreasing to 416% of capital at March 31, 2024 from 432% of capital at December 31, 2023, with loans secured by office space accounting for 2.3% of the total loan portfolio and totaling $46.0 million. The Company’s loan pipeline at March 31, 2024 is approximately $220 million, with approximately 95% being niche-residential, conventional C&I and SBA and USDA lending opportunities.
Historically, the Bank generated additional income by strategically originating and selling residential and government guaranteed loans to other financial institutions at premiums, while also retaining servicing rights in some sales. However, with increases in interest rates in recent years, the appetite among the Bank’s purchasers of residential loans for acquiring pools of loans declined, eliminating the Bank’s ability to sell residential loans in its portfolio on desirable terms. Commencing in late 2023, the Bank initiated development of a flow origination program under which the Bank expects to originate individual loans for sale to specific buyers, thereby positioning the Bank to resume residential loan sales and generate fee income to complement sale premiums earned from the origination of SBA loans. During the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company sold $26.7 million and $12.8 million, respectively, of SBA loans and recorded gains on sale of loans held-for-sale of $2.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
The pace of new residential loan applications is historically slower in the first quarter and was more so in the first quarter of 2024 due to our intentional and continued prioritization of loan pricing over loan volume. As volume builds as the year progresses and we commence originations under our flow lending program, we expect the volume of applications to grow. A more diversified residential lending program is expected to provide greater flexibility with respect to earnings, liquidity and asset management.
The Bank’s asset quality ratios remain strong and among the best in its peer group of community banks. At March 31, 2024, the Company reported $14.9 million in non-performing loans which represented 0.74% of total loans outstanding. Of the non-performing loans, $8.3 million are legacy Savoy Bank originated loans that were either written down to fair value at the acquisition date or are 100% guaranteed by the SBA. Non-performing loans were $14.5 million at December 31, 2023. During the first quarter of 2024, the Bank recorded a provision for credit losses expense of $0.3 million. The March 31, 2024, allowance for credit losses balance was $19.9 million versus $19.7 million at December 31, 2023 and $14.9 million at March 31, 2023. The increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans is mostly attributable to additional provisioning related to increased loan volume. The allowance for credit losses as a percent of total loans was 0.99% at March 31, 2024 versus 1.00% at December 31, 2023.
Office Property Exposure
The Bank’s exposure to the Office market is minor at $46 million (2% of all loans), has a 1.8x weighted average DSCR, a 55% weighted average LTV and less than $400 thousand of exposure in Manhattan. The portfolio has no delinquencies, defaults or modifications.
Net Interest Margin
The Bank’s net interest margin increased to 2.41% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 from 2.40% in the quarter ended December 31, 2023. The increase from the prior linked quarter was primarily related to the increase in the average yield on loans and decrease in the average cost of borrowings, partially offset by the increase in the average cost of deposits. The Bank’s net interest margin was 3.04% in the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The decrease from the prior year quarter was primarily related to the increase in the total cost of funds, partially offset by the increase in the average yield on loans and, to a lesser extent, the Company’s decision to increase liquidity as a result of the recent industry events. The year over year margin compression reflects the effects of the rapid and significant rise in interest rates and the competitive deposit environment. We believe the Company is well positioned for the current or more favorable interest rate environments.
