LINKBANCORP, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2023 Financial Results
HARRISBURG, Pa., May 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- LINKBANCORP, Inc. (NASDAQ: LNKB) (the "Company"), the parent company of LINKBANK (the "Bank") reported a net loss of $1.55 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Excluding merger related expenses and a net loss on sale of securities, adjusted earnings were $783 thousand1, or $0.051 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2023.
First Quarter 2023 Highlights
- Stable and Growing Deposit Portfolio. Total deposits grew $37.7 million, or 16% annualized over the prior quarter end, including an increase in noninterest bearing deposits of $11.7 million, or 25% annualized, and $26.0 million in interest bearing deposits, or 14% annualized. Estimated uninsured deposits, excluding collateralized public funds and affiliate company accounts, totaled $387.8 million, or 39.4% of total deposits as of March 31, 2023.
- Strong Liquidity Position. The Company enhanced its on-balance sheet liquidity, with cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2023 of $51.7 million, up from $30.0 million at December 31, 2022. Total liquidity, including all available borrowing capacity and brokered deposit availability, together with cash and cash equivalents and unpledged investment securities, totaled $511.0 million as of March 31, 2023.
- Solid Commercial Loan Growth. Total loans grew $17.5 million during the first quarter, representing a 7.7% annualized growth rate, driven primarily by commercial loan activity.
- Funding Costs Drive Decline in Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the first quarter of 2023 was $8.0 million, compared to $9.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 and $7.5 million in the prior year first quarter. Net interest margin was 2.95% for the first quarter of 2023 compared to 3.36% for the fourth quarter of 2022. The linked quarter decrease was primarily due to higher interest expense on deposits outpacing the increase in interest income from loans.
- Loss on Securities. The Company recognized a $2.37 million loss on the sale of subordinated notes issued by Signature Bank, which was closed by its regulator in March 2023.
- Transformational Merger. On February 22, 2023, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Partners Bancorp ("Partners"), the parent company of The Bank of Delmarva and Virginia Partners Bank, under which the companies will combine in an all-stock combination, valued at approximately $169.1 million, based on the Company's 10-day volume weighted average price of $8.08 as of February 21, 2023, the day prior to the merger announcement. When the transaction is completed, the combined organization will be a leading Mid-Atlantic community banking franchise with nearly $3 billion in assets. In connection with the transaction, the Company enhanced its strong capital position, completing a private placement common stock offering resulting in $10 million in gross proceeds, and contributing $5 million of such proceeds to the Bank as additional capital.
- CECL Adoption. On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, which replaced the former "incurred loss" model for recognizing credit losses with an "expected loss" model (commonly referred to as "CECL"). The impact of the adoption included increases to the allowance for credit losses of $5.7 million related to loans, $900 thousand related to unfunded commitments and $600 thousand related to held-to-maturity securities, resulting in a decrease in retained earnings, net of tax effect, of approximately $5.4 million. For purposes of regulatory capital calculations, an election was made to phase-in the day one impact on retained earnings over three years.

"We are pleased that in the midst of this unprecedented interest rate environment and industry disruption, we continue to grow both quality loans and core deposits, even as our results for the quarter clearly reflect the unique challenges of this period," said Andrew Samuel, Chief Executive Officer. "With our liquidity and capital positions, as well as continued strength in credit quality, we are very well positioned to successfully navigate this period, focused on growing lower cost deposits to counteract funding expense and continuing to grow loans and positively impact our communities."
Income Statement
Net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2023 decreased to $8.0 million compared to $9.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Net interest margin was 2.95% for the first quarter of 2023 compared to 3.36% for the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease in net interest margin for the current quarter was due to the higher rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, which outpaced the increase in the yield on interest earning assets. The overall rate and yield increases were driven by the multiple federal funds rate increases that occurred over the preceding twelve months, coupled with competition for deposits in the market. During the first quarter, the cost of funds increased 72 basis points as compared to the linked quarter which was partially offset by a 25 basis points increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets. The increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets was primarily due to the increase of the average yield on loans of 19 basis points to 5.09% during the first quarter of 2023.
During the first quarter, the Company was able to introduce the improved functionality of its new core technology platform, including enhanced cash management features. The Company has begun to see the fruits of these investments, as well as an increased internal focus and strategy on core deposit generation. For example, during the first quarter, 547 new checking accounts were opened for a total of $34 million in new deposits. Additionally, initiatives focused on professional services firms such as title companies, law firms, and property management companies, resulted in 96 new accounts being opened during the quarter, which are anticipated to fund over the course of the second quarter. Given these recent positive trends in acquiring lower cost core deposits, the Company anticipates its net interest margin will begin to stabilize as higher cost brokered deposits are allowed to mature and roll off, replaced by core accounts.
Noninterest income decreased from $508 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2022 to a loss of $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2023, primarily related to a recognized loss upon the sale of subordinated notes. Excluding the securities loss, noninterest income was relatively flat compared to the linked quarter.
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2023 decreased to $7.7 million compared to $8.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. This included a decrease in merger and system conversion related expenses from $973 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2022 to $587 thousand in the first quarter of 2023. In addition, salaries and employee benefits decreased from $4.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 to $4.1 million in the first quarter of 2023, largely attributable to performance-based bonuses recognized during the fourth quarter of 2022.
Balance Sheet
Total assets were $1.214 billion at March 31, 2023 compared to $1.164 billion at December 31, 2022 and $1.036 billion at March 31, 2022. Deposits and net loans as of March 31, 2023 totaled $984.5 million and $934.8 million, respectively, compared to deposits and net loans of $946.8 million and $923.2 million, respectively, at December 31, 2022 and $862.2 million and $727.6 million, respectively, at March 31, 2022.
Total loans increased $17.5 million from December 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023, or 7.7% annualized, with the average commercial loan size during the first quarter of 2023 totaling approximately $830,000.
In response to industry disruption, the Company proactively took steps during the quarter to enhance its on-balance sheet liquidity. Cash and cash equivalents increased to $51.7 million at March 31, 2023 from $30.0 million at December 31, 2022, representing a 72.4% increase. In addition to growth in core deposits, this position was supported by an additional $10 million in fixed-rate FHLB advances.
Deposits at March 31, 2023 totaled $984.5 million, representing a 16.2% annualized increase from December 31, 2022 which was driven by growth in interest and noninterest bearing deposits over the quarter. Noninterest bearing deposits increased from $192.8 million at December 31, 2022 to $204.5 million at March 31, 2023, representing a 24.7% annualized increase.
Shareholders' equity increased from $138.6 million at December 31, 2022 to $141.6 million at March 31, 2023. The increase included the impact of $10 million in proceeds from the February 2023 private placement, offset by a decrease in retained earnings due to the first quarter net loss, dividends paid of $1.2 million and the cumulative-effect adjustment from the adoption of CECL that decreased retained earnings by $5.4 million. Other comprehensive loss decreased by $1.2 million as a result of decreased unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities due to changes in the interest rate environment.
Asset Quality
In the first quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses, calculated under the CECL model, of $293 thousand, compared to $100 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2022 under the incurred loss model. The provision expense was primarily due to loan growth and changes to the macroeconomic outlook.
Asset quality metrics remain strong. As of March 31, 2023, the Company's non-performing assets were $2.4 million, representing 0.20% of total assets. Non-performing assets at March 31, 2023 excluded purchased with credit deterioration ("PCD") loans with a balance of $2.5 million.
The allowance for credit losses was $10.5 million, or 1.11% of total loans at March 31, 2023, compared to the allowance for loan losses of 0.50% of total loans at December 31, 2022. The allowance for credit losses to nonperforming assets was 438.95% at March 31, 2023, compared to 186.64% at December 31, 2022.
Capital
The Bank's regulatory capital ratios are well in excess of regulatory minimums to be considered "well capitalized" as of March 31, 2023. The Bank's Total Capital Ratio and Tier 1 Capital Ratio increased to 13.53% and 12.32%, respectively, at March 31, 2023 from 12.89% and 12.41%, respectively, at December 31, 2022. The Company's ratio of Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets was 8.90%2 at March 31, 2023.

Appendix A – Reconciliation to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This document contains supplemental financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company's performance. These measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures nor should they be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. Management believes the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the impact of specified items provide useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the Company's financial condition and results. Non-GAAP measures are not formally defined under GAAP, and other entities may use calculation methods that differ from those used by us. As a complement to GAAP financial measures, our management believes these non-GAAP financial measures assist investors in comparing the financial condition and results of operations of financial institutions due to the industry prevalence of such non-GAAP measures. See the tables below for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
