Balance Sheet Review
Total assets increased by $286.2 million, or 8.1 percent, to $3.832 billion at December 31, 2023, from $3.546 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase in total assets was mainly related to increases in total loans and in cash and cash equivalents.
Total cash and cash equivalents increased by $50.2 million, or 21.9 percent, to $279.5 million at December 31, 2023, from $229.4 million at December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowings and in deposits.
Loans receivable, net, increased by $234.4 million, or 7.7 percent, to $3.280 billion at December 31, 2023, from $3.045 billion at December 31, 2022. Total loan increases during 2023 included increases of $90.2 million in commercial business loans, $88.9 million in commercial real estate and multi-family loans, $47.9 million in construction loans and $9.8 million in home equity and consumer loans. 1-4 family residential loans decreased $1.8 million. The allowance for credit losses increased $1.2 million to $33.6 million, or 178.9 percent of non-accruing loans and 1.01 percent of gross loans, at December 31, 2023, as compared to an allowance for credit losses of $32.4 million, or 633.6 percent of non-accruing loans and 1.05 percent of gross loans, at December 31, 2022.
Total investment securities decreased by $12.5 million, or 11.5 percent, to $96.9 million at December 31, 2023, from $109.4 million at December 31, 2022, representing unrealized losses, calls and maturities, and repayments.
Deposit liabilities increased by $167.5 million, or 6.0 percent, to $2.979 billion at December 31, 2023, from $2.812 billion at December 31, 2022. Certificates of deposits and money market accounts increased $417.9 million and $65.4 million, respectively, offset by interest bearing demand, non-interest bearing and savings and club accounts which declined $315.8 million during the twelve months of 2023.
Debt obligations increased by $90.7 million to $510.4 million at December 31, 2023 from $419.7 million at December 31, 2022. The weighted average interest rate of FHLB advances was 4.21 percent at December 31, 2023 and 4.07 percent at December 31, 2022. The weighted average maturity of FHLB advances as of December 31, 2023 was 1.93 years. The interest rate of our subordinated debt balances was 8.36 percent at December 31, 2023 and 5.62 percent at December 31, 2022 due to the fixed-rate period on such debt ending as of July 31, 2023.
Stockholders’ equity increased by $22.8 million, or 7.8 percent, to $314.1 million at December 31, 2023, from $291.3 million at December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in retained earnings of $20.8 million, or 18.1 percent, to $135.9 million at December 31, 2023 from $115.1 million at December 31, 2023.
Fourth Quarter 2023 Income Statement Review
Net income was $6.1 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023 and $12.1 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022. The decline was primarily driven by lower net interest income, higher credit loss provisioning and higher non-interest expenses, which were partially offset by an increase in non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2023 as compared with the fourth quarter of 2022.
Net interest income decreased by $6.3 million, or 20.7 percent, to $23.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, from $30.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease in net interest income resulted from higher interest expense which was partially offset by higher interest income.
Interest income increased by $10.8 million, or 27.9 percent, to $49.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 from $38.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The average balance of interest-earning assets increased $521.4 million, or 16.3 percent, to $3.729 billion for the fourth quarter of 2023 from $3.207 billion for the fourth quarter of 2022, while the average yield increased 48 basis points to 5.33 percent for the fourth quarter of 2023 from 4.85 percent for the fourth quarter of 2022.
Interest expense increased by $17.1 million to $25.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 from $8.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities of 199 basis points to 3.45 percent for the fourth quarter of 2023 from 1.46 percent for the fourth quarter of 2022, while the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased by $607.5 million to $2.990 billion for the fourth quarter of 2023 from $2.382 billion for the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase in the average cost of funds resulted primarily from the persistently high interest rate environment.
The net interest margin was 2.57 percent for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to 3.76 percent for the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease in the net interest margin compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 was the result of the increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities partially offset by the increase in the yield on interest-earning assets.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company recognized $233,000 in net charge-offs compared to $322,000 in net charge-offs in the fourth quarter of 2022. The Bank had non-accrual loans totaling $18.8 million, or 0.57 percent of gross loans, at December 31, 2023 as compared to $5.1 million, or 0.17 percent of gross loans, at December 31, 2022. The allowance for credit losses on loans was $33.6 million, or 1.01 percent of gross loans at December 31, 2023, and $32.4 million, or 1.05 percent of gross loans at December 31, 2022. The provision for credit losses was $1.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to a $500,000 credit for the fourth quarter of 2022. Management believes that the allowance for credit losses on loans was adequate at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Non-interest income increased by $2.2 million to $3.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 from $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase in total non-interest income was mainly related to gains on equity securities of $1.8 million and an increase in fees and service charges of $307,000.
Non-interest expense increased by $531,000, or 3.3 percent, to $16.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 from $16.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase in such expenses for the fourth quarter of 2023 was primarily driven by higher regulatory assessment charges, higher salaries and employee benefits, and increased data processing expenses compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. The fourth quarter of 2023 salaries and benefits expense included a previously disclosed one-time payment of $1.17 million to Thomas Coughlin, the Company’s former President and Chief Executive Officer.
The income tax provision decreased by $1.0 million, or 28.6 percent, to $2.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 from $3.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The consolidated effective tax rate was 29.9 percent for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to 23.1 percent for the fourth quarter of 2022. The income tax provision for the fourth quarter of 2022 benefited from the reversal of a portion of tax accrual that was no longer required to cover the tax liability.
Year-to-Date Income Statement Review
Net income decreased by $16.1 million, or 35.3 percent, to $29.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 from $45.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in net income was driven by less net interest income and an increased provision for credit losses on loans being recorded.
Net interest income decreased by $9.9 million, or 8.7 percent, to $104.1 million for the year of 2023 from $113.9 million for the year of 2022. The decrease in net interest income resulted from a $66.8 million increase in interest expense, offset by an increase of $56.9 million in interest income.
The $56.9 million increase in interest income to $188.4 million for the twelve months of 2023, was a 43.3 percent increase from $131.4 million for the twelve months of 2022. The average balance of interest-earning assets increased $641.0 million, or 21.3 percent, to $3.652 billion for the twelve months of 2023, from $3.011 billion for the twelve months of 2022, while the average yield increased 79 basis points to 5.16 percent from 4.37 percent for the same comparable period. The increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets and in interest income mainly related to an increase in the average balance of loans receivable of $654.6 million to $3.281 billion for the twelve months of 2023, from $2.627 billion for the twelve months of 2022.
The $66.8 million increase in interest expense to $84.3 million for the twelve months of 2023, was a 381.8 percent increase from $17.5 million for the 2022 comparable period. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities of 214 basis points to 2.93 percent for the twelve months of 2023, from 0.79 percent for the twelve months of 2022, and an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $667.5 million, or 30.3 percent, to $2.873 billion from $2.206 billion over the same comparable periods. The increase in the average cost of funds primarily resulted from the high interest rate environment and an increase in the level of borrowed funds in the twelve months of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.
Net interest margin was 2.85 percent for the twelve months of 2023, compared to 3.78 percent for the twelve months of 2022. The decrease in the net interest margin compared to the prior period was the result of an increase in the average volume of interest-bearing liabilities as well as an increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
During the twelve months of 2023, the Company recognized $704,000 in net-charge offs compared to $1.7 million in net-charge offs for the same period in 2022.
Non-interest income increased by $2.5 million to $4.1 million for the twelve months of 2023 from $1.6 million for the twelve months of 2022. The improvement in total non-interest income was mainly related to a $2.9 million decrease in the realized and unrealized losses on equity securities. The realized and unrealized losses on equity securities are based on market conditions.
Non-interest expense increased by $5.1 million, or 9.2 percent, to $60.6 million for the twelve months of 2023 from $55.5 million for the same period in 2022. The increase in operating expenses for 2023 was driven primarily by an increase in salaries and employee benefits, an increase in regulatory assessments, and higher data processing expenses. The 2023 salaries and benefits expense included the payment to Mr. Coughlin described above.
The income tax provision decreased by $5.5 million or 31.7 percent, to $12.0 million for the twelve months of 2023 from $17.5 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease in the income tax provision was a result of the lower taxable income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The consolidated effective tax rate was 28.9 percent for the twelve months of 2023 compared to 27.8 percent for the twelve months of 2022.
Asset Quality
The Bank had non-accrual loans totaling $18.8 million, or 0.57 percent, of gross loans at December 31, 2023, as compared to $5.1 million, or 0.17 percent, of gross loans at December 31, 2022. The allowance for credit losses was $33.6 million, or 1.01 percent of gross loans at December 31, 2023, and $32.4 million, or 1.05 percent of gross loans at December 31, 2022. The allowance for credit losses was 178.9 percent of non-accrual loans at December 31, 2023, and 633.6 percent of non-accrual loans at December 31, 2022.

Other factors that could cause future results to vary materially from current management expectations as reflected in our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the global impact of the military conflicts in the Ukraine and the Middle East; unfavorable economic conditions in the United States generally and particularly in our primary market area; the Company’s ability to effectively attract and deploy deposits; changes in the Company’s corporate strategies, the composition of its assets, or the way in which it funds those assets; shifts in investor sentiment or behavior in the securities, capital, or other financial markets, including changes in market liquidity or volatility; the effects of declines in real estate values that may adversely impact the collateral underlying our loans; increase in unemployment levels and slowdowns in economic growth; our level of non-performing assets and the costs associated with resolving any problem loans including litigation and other costs; the impact of changes in interest rates and the credit quality and strength of underlying collateral and the effect of such changes on the market value of our loan and investment securities portfolios; the credit risk associated with our loan portfolio; changes in the quality and composition of the Bank’s loan and investment portfolios; changes in our ability to access cost-effective funding; deposit flows; legislative and regulatory changes, including increases in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, insurance rates; monetary and fiscal policies of the federal and state governments; changes in tax policies, rates and regulations of federal, state and local tax authorities; demands for our loan products; demand for financial services; competition; changes in the securities or secondary mortgage markets; changes in management’s business strategies; changes in consumer spending; our ability to retain key employees; the effects of any reputational, credit, interest rate, market, operational, legal, liquidity, or regulatory risk; expanding regulatory requirements which could adversely affect operating results; civil unrest in the communities that we serve; and other factors discussed elsewhere in this report, and in other reports we filed with the SEC, including under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, in Part II, Item 1A of our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and our other periodic reports that we file with the SEC.
