Nancy E. Graves, Bancorp of New Jersey’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our 2018 second quarter results were consistent with our expectations. Commercial loan activity reflects local loan and deposit relationships we have cultivated. Net interest margin decreased to 3.08% from 3.15%, due to the rising costs of deposits and borrowings. Our average yield on loans declined slightly from 4.56% to 4.52%, partly due to a change in our loan mix with less construction loans outstanding at June 30, 2018.  We remain focused on increasing demand deposits and on loan pricing. Our retail franchise marketing through June 30, 2018 resulted in 945 new customer deposit accounts.  Our core growth in new customers is particularly impressive in light of the heightened competitive deposit market.”

The Bank will convert to a new core system in November. CEO Graves described the new system as offering many technological enhancements to the customer access channels. “The complete consumer and business suite of products will provide enhanced technology our current and future customers expect. This fully integrated system will result in a more robust and efficient operating environment, which will level the playing field for us as a community bank, making the Bank of New Jersey an even more attractive choice for customers.”

CEO Graves continued, “The strategic analysis of our branch network has resulted in two branch changes that will take place in the fourth quarter of this year. After ten years, we will close the leased Harrington Park branch. Given the proximity to the Haworth location, which we own, it makes sense to consolidate the two locations and continue to serve our customers and the community. Later this year we will open a branch at our new corporate headquarters in Englewood Cliffs. This 1,000 square foot branch will provide our customers with another convenient location and will be a new model which will have no lobby tellers, offering high tech solutions with personal service. We are executing on our strategies of organic growth,

improving metrics and offering products and services that will continue to benefit both our customer base and shareholders.”

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 Financial Review

Net Income

Net income for the second quarter of 2018 was $1.19 million compared to net income of $1.29 million for the second quarter of 2017.  This decrease was primarily due to an increase in non-interest expenses and a $325,000  provision for loan losses recognized by the Company in the second quarter of 2018, while no provision was recognized for the same period in 2017, partially offset by an increase in net interest income due to loan growth and a decrease in tax expense related to a lower federal corporate tax rate in 2018 provided by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) signed into law on December 22, 2017.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $2.5 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared to $2.4 million, or $0.35 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $181,000 or 7.7%. The rise in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was driven by an increase in net interest income and a decrease in tax expense related to a lower federal corporate tax rate in 2018 provided by the Tax Act, offset by an increase in  provision for loans losses of $650,000 and total non-interest expenses.

Net Interest Income

For the three month period ended June 30, 2018, net interest income increased by $264,000 or 4.3% versus the same period last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, net interest income increased by $932,000 or 7.6% versus the same period last year.

Total interest income increased by $510,000, or 6.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the corresponding period last year. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, interest income increased by $1.4 million or 9.0% versus the same period last year.  This increase in interest income was primarily due to loan growth and higher interest received on cash and investment balances due to rising interest rates.

Total interest expense increased by $246,000 in the second quarter of 2018 to $2.2 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, interest expense increased by $494,000 or 13.4% versus the same period last year. The increase in interest expense was due to higher interest rates on deposits as market rates continue to increase in our market area and the cost associated with the planned increase in borrowings during the second quarter of 2018. We continue to face significant competition for deposits.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company recognized a provision for loan losses of $325,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and $650,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to no provision in the three or six months ended June 30, 2017. The provision recognized in 2018 was mainly due to the growth in loans. The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.10% as of June 30, 2018.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $4.7 million during the second quarter of 2018, up from $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2017, an increase of $405,000 or 9.4%, while non-interest expense was $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $8.8 million for the same period in 2017, an increase of $607,000 or 6.9%.

The increase was primarily in salaries and employee benefits, legal fees and occupancy and equipment expense, offset by decreases in professional fees, FDIC premiums and data processing.  The increase in salaries and employee benefits costs is associated with health insurance premium increases, annual increases and executive stock awards expenses. The increase in legal fees is mainly associated with the working out of non-performing loans. The increase in occupancy and equipment expense is related to the relocation of the corporate offices to a new location in Englewood Cliffs. The decrease in professional fees is mainly attributable to non-recurring consulting fees related to enhancing the Company’s risk management system in the prior year.

Financial Condition

At June 30, 2018, the Bank maintained capital ratios that were in excess of regulatory standards for well capitalized institutions. The Company’s and Bank’s Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio was 9.86%, common equity Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets were both 10.86% and total capital to risk weighted assets ratio was 11.93%.

Total consolidated assets decreased by $13.9 million, or 1.6%, from $887.4 million at December 31, 2017 to $873.5 million at June 30, 2018, reflecting a decrease in cash, offset by an increase in loans receivable.

Loans receivable, or “total loans,” increased from $721.2 million at December 31, 2017 to $741.1 million at June 30, 2018, an increase of $19.9 million.

Total deposits decreased by $33.3 million to $755.0 million at June 30, 2018, from $788.3 million at December 31, 2017. The decrease is mainly due to outflows of government and municipal deposits attributable to the cyclical nature of real estate tax collections and payments and the current competitive landscape of obtaining new deposits. Borrowings increased by $16.6 million during the second quarter of 2018 to $30.0 million from $13.4 million. The increase in borrowings was planned in order to offset the amortization of existing borrowings and to fund loan growth. Total borrowings are less than 4.0% of total deposits.

Loan Quality

At June 30, 2018 the Bank had non-accrual loans of $14.7 million. Included in this total are $7.0 million in Troubled Debt Restructured Loans (“TDRs”). At year-end 2017, non-accrual loans totaled $18.4 million. The reduction in non-accrual loans was mainly due to management’s continued focus on working out the non-performing loans.  Accruing loans delinquent greater than 30 days were $3.0 million as of June 30, 2018, compared to $6.3 million at December 31, 2017.
