PB BANKSHARES, INC. ANNOUNCES 2023 THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

​

Coatesville, Pennsylvania, October 26, 2023 — PB Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PBBK), the holding company for Presence Bank (the “Bank”), reported unaudited net income of $513,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and $1,510,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $414,000 and $1,006,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2022. Diluted earnings per share were $0.21 for the third quarter of 2023 and $0.60 for the first nine months of 2023 compared to $0.16 and $0.39, respectively, for the same periods in 2022.

​

Income Statement

​

Net interest income was $3.04 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and $9.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $2.99 million and $7.7 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2022. The period over period increases for the three and the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022 was primarily due to the increase in interest income on loans driven by the increase in average loans, as well as increases in cash and federal funds sold and securities interest income as a result of rising interest rates, partially offset by increases in deposit and borrowings interest expense also as a result of rising interest rates. There were two non-accrual loans that paid off in the second quarter of 2023, resulting in $261,000 of interest income recognition for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

​

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $140,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and $570,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $346,000 and $639,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2022. The decrease in the provision for credit losses for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022 was primarily due to loan growth being higher in 2022 and a recovery of the provision for credit losses for unfunded commitments of $12,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and $31,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. There were no charge-offs during the third quarter of 2023.  Gross charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $144,000, which were partially offset by recoveries of $18,000. Delinquencies remain benign, reserves are deemed to be adequate as of September 30, 2023 and the allowance coverage ratio has improved from the third quarter a year ago. The allowance for credit losses was $4.5 million, or 1.35%, of loans outstanding at September 30, 2023 as compared to $4.0 million, or 1.31%, of loans outstanding at December 31, 2022. Total non-performing assets decreased 22.4% to $814,000 at September 30, 2023 from $1.0 million at December 31, 2022 as a result of the payoff of non-performing assets.  The non-performing assets to total assets ratio

Exhibit 99.1

improved by seven basis points to 0.20% at September 30, 2023 from 0.27% as of December 31, 2022.

Noninterest income was $185,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and $582,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $141,000 and $410,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2022. One reason for the increase in noninterest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was due to a decrease in the unrealized losses on equity investments due to the increase in market value of the associated asset (Community Reinvestment Act equity investment) representing period over period increases of $9,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and $76,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.  A second reason for the increase in noninterest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was due to $22,000 and $80,000 of loan related fee income, respectively, earned for brokering interest rate swap agreements between the Bank’s customers and counterparties unrelated to the Bank. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, these increases were partially offset by a $40,000 loss on disposal of property and equipment as a result of replacing the non-depository ATMs with full functioning ATMs as a continued investment in our infrastructure and technology.  The new ATMs improve the client experience by providing twenty-four hours, seven days a week access to banking services.

​

Noninterest expense was $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $2.3 million and $6.2 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2022. The increases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits and directors’ fees as a result of the option and stock awards expense of $136,000 in the third quarter of 2023 and $404,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 related to awards that were not granted until the fourth quarter of 2022 and annual salary increases.

​

Balance Sheet

​

Total assets increased $22.7 million or 5.9% to $409.2 million at September 30, 2023 from $386.5  million at December 31, 2022. The increase in assets was primarily due to increases in net loans receivable and cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by a decrease in debt securities available-for-sale. Gross loans increased $25.1 million or 8.2% to $330.5 million at September 30, 2023 from $305.4 million at December 31, 2022, primarily as a result of the increase in the commercial real estate portfolio as the Bank continues its focus on commercial lending. Management is monitoring the commercial real estate portfolio and concentration, assessing its associated risks. As part of its risk management process, the Bank segments and stress tests its commercial real estate portfolio. As of September 30, 2023, the Bank has $150.0 million in non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans outstanding.  Approximately 73% or $109.5 million of this portfolio was subject to stress testing (loans having exposure under $250,000 and investor 1-4 family properties generally are not subject to stress testing). The commercial real estate portfolio has an average Loan-to-Value ratio of 62.9% and a Debt Service Coverage ratio of 1.38 times, exclusive of any sponsor or guarantor support at September 30, 2023. The commercial real estate portfolio is diverse with respect to both property type as well as location with concentrations limited. Two segments, Office Space and Hospitality, are the subject of market scrutiny with these segments’ exposure and selected credit metrics outlined below.

Exhibit 99.1

The Bank has reviewed its loan portfolio for exposure to office space given the uncertainty and potential risks associated with vacancy, future demand, and repricing risk for these assets. The Bank’s exposure to this segment is minimal with only $9.5 million in non-owner-occupied office space at September 30, 2023. Notably the five loans comprising the office segment are all medical related, which has not suffered the decline that the general office market has experienced. The office space loan portfolio has an average Loan-to-Value ratio of 73.3% and Debt Service Coverage ratio of 1.42 times, exclusive of any sponsor or guarantor support at September 30, 2023.

The Bank’s hospitality portfolio is also an area of market focus. Loan exposure to this segment totaled $17.4 million (five hotel properties) at September 30, 2023. The average Loan-to-Value ratio was 56.1% with a Debt Service Coverage ratio of 1.99 times, exclusive of any sponsor or guarantor support at September 30, 2023. Guarantor support for the hospitality sector is strong and loans are supported by experienced hotel operators.

Debt securities available-for-sale decreased $11.4 million or 21.9% to $40.7 million at September 30, 2023 as a result of short-term treasury securities purchased during 2022 maturing in the first quarter of 2023.  The strong deposit growth and maturity of the treasury securities during the first nine months of 2023 increased cash and cash equivalents $8.0 million or 46.4% to $25.2 million at September 30, 2023. The remaining weighted average life of our debt securities available-for-sale portfolio was 1.45 years at September 30, 2023.  

Deposits increased by $17.0 million or 5.9% to $306.5 million at September 30, 2023 from $289.5 million at December 31, 2022 as a result of organic core deposit gathering strategies with the growth being from local businesses and individuals. The uninsured and uncollateralized deposits totaled approximately $37.9 million or 12.4% of the Bank’s total deposits, as of September 30, 2023. The Company maintains highly liquid sources of available funds, including unused borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh and the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia and available federal funds lines with other banks, as well as unpledged available-for-sale debt securities. At September 30, 2023, available funding from these sources totaled 434.4% of uninsured and uncollateralized deposits. Stockholders’ equity increased $595,000 to $46.6 million at September 30, 2023 from $46.0 million at December 31, 2022 as a result of current year-to-date net income and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the debt securities available for sale portfolio, partially offset by a $140,000 adjustment for the adoption of CECL and stock buybacks of 100,109 shares for $1.3 million in the first nine months of 2023. The Bank’s stand-alone capital increased $1.8 million to $37.8 million at September 30, 2023 from $36.0 million at December 31, 2022 primarily as a result of current year-to-date net income at the Bank.
