GREENFIELD, Wis., Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- 1895 Bancorp of Wisconsin, Inc. (NASDAQ: BCOW) (the "Company"), the holding company for PyraMax Bank, today announced unaudited financial results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Financial Summary

Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022

Net Loss. We recorded a net loss of $241,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $190,000 from a net loss of $51,000 recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily due to a $1.0 million decrease in non-interest income, which was partially offset by a $678,000 decrease in noninterest expense, a $74,000 increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses and a $75,000 increase in income tax benefit.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $179,000, or 5.7%, to $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was due to a $156,000 increase in interest income and a $23,000 decrease in interest expense. Interest and dividend income increased due primarily to an increase in interest earned on taxable securities, as a result of our strategy to deploy excess liquidity into securities. Interest expense decreased primarily due to a decline in interest expense on FHLB advances, as average balances of FHLB advances decreased. Our net interest rate spread increased 8 basis points to 2.52% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from 2.44% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Our net interest margin also increased 8 basis points to 2.65% from 2.57% over the same period.

Provision for Loan Losses. Provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $105,000 compared to no provision for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in provision was primarily due to the increase in loans outstanding.

Non-interest Income. Non-interest income decreased $1.0 million, or 89.6%, to $118,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily the result of a $763,000 decline in the market value of marketable equity securities held in our deferred compensation plan and a $241,000 decrease in net gain on sale of loans.

Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased $677,000, or 15.5%, to $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This decrease was primarily due to a $664,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits, which was due primarily to a $763,000 decrease in the market value of mutual funds held in our deferred compensation plan.

Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

Net (Loss) Income. We recorded net loss of $296,000 for the six months ending June 30, 2022, compared to net income of $470,000 recorded for the six months ending June 30, 2021. This decrease was primarily due to a $2.2 million decrease in non-interest income, which was partially offset by an $822,000 decrease in noninterest expense, a $353,000 increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses and a $294,000 decrease in income tax expense.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $563,000, or 9.0%, to $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was due primarily to an increase in interest earned on taxable securities, which increased $511,000, or 84.7% from $603,000 in the first six months of 2021 to $1.1 million in the first six months of 2022, as a result of our strategy to deploy excess liquidity into securities. Our net interest rate spread increased 13 basis points to 2.60% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from 2.47% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, while our net interest margin increased 14 basis points to 2.74% from 2.60% over the same period.

Provision for Loan Losses. Provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $210,000 compared to no provision for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in provision was primarily due to the increase in loans outstanding.

Non-interest Income. Non-interest income decreased $2.2 million, or 81.5%, to $508,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This decrease was due primarily to a $1.1 million decline in the market value of marketable equity securities held in our deferred compensation plan, a $729,000 decrease in net gains on the sale of loans, due to a decrease in the sale of mortgage loans, and a $419,000 decrease in loan servicing fees.

Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased $822,000, or 9.7%, to $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $8.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This decrease was primarily due to an $835,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits, as a result of a $1.1 million decline in the market value of marketable equity securities held in our deferred compensation plan.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $46.6 million, or 69.7%, to $20.2 million at June 30, 2022 from $66.8 million at December 31, 2021, primarily due to the purchase of $37.1 million in available-for-sale securities, $26.0 million of net loan growth, $13.8 million in originations of loans held for sale and $8.0 million in principal payments on FHLB advances.

Available-for-Sale Securities. Available-for-sale securities increased $14.2 million, or 12.7%, to $126.7 million at June 30, 2022, from $112.4 million at December 31, 2021.

Total Stockholders' Equity. Total stockholders' equity decreased $9.9 million to $81.0 million at June 30, 2022, from $90.9 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to an $11.9 million increase in net unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities, which net of taxes, resulted in a $8.7 million decrease in stockholders' equity. The increase in net unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities resulted primarily from changes in market interest rates.
