Carlos P.

Now, as we consider additional capital from ECIP funding, we are poised to deliver further and farther on our core mission: using our resources to provide impactful financial services to underserved but deserving communities while building value for our stakeholders.”

Executive Chairman’s Comments

Steven A. Tsavaris, Executive Chairman, noted that “from our humble beginnings in the turbulent South Bronx over 60 years ago, we have survived and flourished. In 2021 we reached critical milestones: our strongest-ever capital position – and getting even stronger; our largest loan portfolio at $1.3 billion; our impeccable asset quality; and, our improved loan origination capabilities. Now, as Ponce Financial Group, we will continue to responsibly deploy our capital.”

Loan Payment Deferrals

As of December 31, 2021, four loans in the amount of $8.0 million remained in forbearance as a result of renewed forbearance.

All of these loans had been performing in accordance with their contractual obligations prior to the granting of the initial forbearance.

Results of Operations Summary

Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $15.0 million, compared to $2.1 million of net income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and $1.6 million of net income for the three months ended December 31, 2020.

The $12.9 million increase in net income for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021 was due substantially to an increase of $15.9 million in non-interest income primarily resulting from an increase of $15.4 million in gains, net of expenses, on sale of real properties. The increase in net income was also attributable to an increase of $1.3 million in net interest income, offset by increases of $2.9 million in provision for income taxes, $1.1 million in non-interest expense and $301,000 in provision for loan losses.

The $13.4 million increase in net income for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020 was due substantially to an increase of $14.4 million in non-interest income primarily resulting from an increase of $15.4 million in gains, net of expenses, on sale of real properties, offset by a $1.5 million decrease in income on sale of mortgage loans. The increase in net income was also attributable to an increase of $5.1 million in net interest income, offset by increases of $3.8 million in provision for income taxes, $1.9 million in non-interest expense and $467,000 in provision for loan losses.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $25.4 million, compared to $3.9 million of net income for the year ended December 31, 2020. The change from the year ended December 31, 2020 is primarily due to a $21.4 million increase in non-interest income resulting from increases of $16.1 million in gains, net of expenses, on sale of real properties, $2.1 million in loan origination fees and $1.1 million in sale of mortgage loans. The increase in net income was also attributable to a $16.9 million increase in net interest income, offset by increases of $9.6 million in non-interest expense, $6.8 million in provision for income taxes and a $274,000 in provision for loan losses.

Net interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $16.8 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 8.7%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021 and an increase of $5.1 million, or 43.8%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase of $1.3 million in net interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021 was attributable to an increase of $1.2 million in interest and dividend income and a decrease of $115,000 in interest expense. The increase of $5.1 million in net interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020 was attributable to an increase of $4.3 million in interest and dividend income and a decrease of $769,000 in interest expense.

Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $58.8 million, an increase of $16.9 million, or 40.2%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in net interest income was attributable to an increase of $13.8 million in interest and dividend income and a decrease of $3.1 million in interest expense.

Net interest margin was 4.51% for the three months ended December 31, 2021, an increase of 38 basis points from 4.13% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and an increase of 73 basis points from 3.78% for the three months ended December 31, 2020. 

Net interest rate spread increased by 40 basis points to 4.32% for the three months ended December 31, 2021 from 3.92% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and increased by 82 basis points from 3.50% for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase in the net interest rate spread for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to an increase in the average yields on interest-earning assets of 35 basis points to 5.01% for the three months ended December 31, 2021 from 4.66% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, and a decrease on the average rates on interest-bearing liabilities of 5 basis points to 0.69% for the three months ended December 31, 2021 from 0.74% for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in the net interest rate spread for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020 was primarily due to an increase in the average yields on interest-earning assets of 38 basis points to 5.01% for the three months ended December 31, 2021 from 4.63% for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and by a decrease on the average rates on interest-bearing liabilities of 44 basis points to 0.69% for the three months ended December 31, 2021 from 1.13% for the three months ended December 31, 2020.

The increase of $15.9 million in non-interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021 was due to increases of $15.4 million in gain, net of expenses, from the sale of real properties recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021, $261,000 in loan origination fees, $131,000 in brokerage commissions, $119,000 in income on sale of mortgage loans, $12,000 in other non-interest income and $7,000 in late and prepayment charges offset by a decrease of $26,000 in service charges and fees.
