ABERDEEN, Wash., Oct. 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pacific Financial Corporation (OTCQX: PFLC), (“Pacific Financial”) or the (“Company”), the holding company for Bank of the Pacific (the “Bank”), reported net income of $3.6 million, or $0.35 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $3.9 million, or $0.37 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2023, and $2.9 million, or $0.28 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2022. For the first nine months of 2023, net income was $11.7 million, or $1.12 per diluted share, compared to $6.2 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2022. All results are unaudited.
The board of directors of Pacific Financial declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per share on October 18, 2023, an increase of $0.01 per share from the previous quarter. The dividend will be payable on November 24, 2023 to shareholders of record on November 10, 2023.
The Board of Directors of Pacific Financial authorized the repurchase of up to $2.5 million, or approximately 2% of shares outstanding. Beginning November 1, 2023, stock repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The timing of purchases and the exact number of shares purchased will be subject to market conditions and may be suspended at any time. “We believe our stock is an attractive investment and repurchasing shares affirms our optimism for the future and offers an excellent way to build long-term value for our shareholders,” said Denise Portmann, President and Chief Executive Officer.
“We are pleased with our third quarter operating results, posting solid profits for the quarter and record earnings for the first nine months of 2023,” said Portmann. “Earnings for the current quarter and year-to-date were fueled by higher loan growth and a strong net interest margin (“NIM”). We are encouraged by the steady loan demand as loan balances grew 2%, or $13.3 million during the quarter and 8%, or $50.4 million from a year earlier. We remain optimistic about the opportunities in our markets as loan pipelines and overall business activity looks solid.”
“Although the higher interest rate environment continued to impact funding costs, our NIM remained strong expanding 4 basis points from the linked quarter, 95 basis points from the like period a year ago and improved 139 basis points to 4.40% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the like-period in 2022,” said Portmann. “In addition, on a linked quarter basis, solid loan pricing discipline combined with higher longer-term market interest rates contributed to an increase in loan yields.”
“Our prudent risk management protocols guide the growth of our loan portfolio and our credit metrics remained solid with only a slight elevation in net charge-offs,” said Portmann. “While we experienced some deposit decline during the current quarter, our balance sheet remains strong with diversified loan portfolio and deposit mix as well as strong liquidity metrics and capital ratios that exceed regulatory well-capitalized requirements.”

Income Statement Review
Net interest income increased 1% to $12.3 million during the current quarter compared to $12.2 million for the second quarter of 2023, and grew 13% from $10.9 million for the third quarter 2022. For the current quarter compared to the linked quarter, interest and fees on loans continued to increase as a result of both balances and yield increases. This increase was partially offset by deposit interest expense increases as well as the decrease in interest income on interest bearing bank balances. Interest income on these interest bearing bank balances decreased as a result of declining balances during the quarter. Year-over-year for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, net interest income increased 34%, or $9.5 million, to $37.5 million.
Higher market interest rates combined with growth of investments and loan balances positively impacted net interest margin for the current quarter and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The current quarter net interest margin improved by 4 basis points to 4.37% for the third quarter of 2023, compared to 4.33% for the second quarter of 2023, and expanded 95 basis points from 3.42% compared to the third quarter 2022. For the first nine months of 2023, the NIM expanded 139 basis points to 4.40% from 3.01% for the first nine months of 2022.
The increase in average yields on interest-earning assets during the current quarter and first nine months of 2023 reflects the benefit of variable rate interest-earning assets repricing higher, as well as new loans being originated at higher interest rates. For the current quarter, loan yields increased 16 basis points to 5.71% compared to the preceding quarter of 5.55%, and increased 91 basis points from 4.80% from the third quarter 2022. In addition, the yield on interest-bearing bank deposits increased and was 5.35% for the quarter, compared to 5.09% for the preceding quarter, and 2.31% for the third quarter 2022. Cost of funds continued to increase during the quarter primarily due to the full quarter impact of deposit rate changes in money market accounts made in the second quarter 2023, as well as a slight change in deposit mix with higher costing term deposits representing a higher percentage of total deposits. The Bank’s total cost of funds increased to 0.72% for the current quarter, compared to 0.58% for the preceding quarter, and 0.10% for the third quarter 2022.
Noninterest income has remained relatively unchanged at $1.6 million to $1.7 million for the current quarter, linked quarter and like-quarter a year ago. Higher mortgage interest rates and housing prices continue to impact loan origination volumes for our mortgage banking division and as a result gain-on-sale of loans remains lower compared to historical levels. The company’s focused initiative on fee revenue growth in 2023, in which deposit service charges and other related fees were increased consistent with product pricing in our market, has positively impacted service charges on deposits. These service charges increased $279,000 or 23% from a year ago. For the first nine months of 2023, noninterest income declined to $4.6 million compared to $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to lower gain on sale of loans.
Noninterest expense was $9.1 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $8.9 million and $9.0 million for the second quarter of 2023, and for the third quarter 2022, respectively. Although relatively flat for the quarters noted, within total noninterest expenses, state and local taxes were higher for the current quarter as a result of both higher revenue as well as the accrual of not yet settled tax assessments. These tax assessments were fully funded at quarter end. Partially offsetting higher state and local taxes were lower salaries and employee benefits expenses related to lower mortgage banking commissions consistent with lower loan originations in that department as noted above, as well as decreased health-care costs. Noninterest expense for the first nine months of 2023 increased 4% to $27.3 million compared to $26.3 million for the first nine months of 2022, primarily due to increased FDIC insurance premiums, state and local taxes and data processing costs. Salary expenses comprise a large portion of non-interest expenses and continue to be impacted by competitive recruiting and wage pressures. Employee staffing numbers, excluding mortgage banking employees, have remained relatively stable during the last 12 months.
Federal and Oregon state income tax expense was $859,000 for the current quarter, and $994,000 for the preceding quarter, resulting in effective tax rates of 19.1% and 20.3%, respectively. These income tax expenses reflect the benefits of tax exempt income and tax credits. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $2.8 million, and $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, of 2022, with an effective tax rate of 19.3% and 16.1%, respectively.
Balance Sheet Review
Total Assets declined by 2% to $1.18 billion at September 30, 2023, compared to $1.21 billion at June 30, 2023 and decreased 14% from $1.38 billion at September 30, 2022.
Investment Securities increased 5% to $289.2 million at September 30, 2023, compared to $276.4 million at June 30, 2023, and increased 11% from $261.2 million at September 30, 2022. New purchases in the current quarter were $22.7 million at an average yield of 5.19%. In part due to purchases at higher yields, the average portfolio yield increased to 3.36% from 3.21% for the linked quarter and 2.33% for the like-quarter a year ago. The average adjusted duration of the investment securities portfolio was 4.5 years at September 30, 2023.
Gross loans balances increased $13.3 million, or 2%, to $672.0 million at September 30, 2023, compared to $658.7 million at June 30, 2023. Year-over-year loan growth was 8%, or $50.4 million.
Year-over-year the Bank experienced growth in most loan categories, with the exception in C&I loans. C&I balances have been impacted by continued low utilization on commercial lines-of credit that began during the pandemic and that utilization rate continues to remain low compared to historic levels. The largest growth categories year-over-year were construction, residential 1-4 family, multi-family and owner-occupied commercial real estate.
The Bank maintains a portfolio of loans to finance luxury and classic cars and as part of our risk management program the Bank manages the concentration levels of that portfolio. Loans to finance luxury and classic cars decreased 2% to $61.7 million at September 30, 2023 compared to $62.8 million at June 30, 2023, and increased 7% or $4.1 million compared to $57.6 million a year ago.
The Company manages new loan origination volume using concentration limits that establish maximum exposure levels by certain industry segments, loan product types, geography and single borrower limits. The loan pipeline continues to be supported by sustained business development activity by our commercial lending teams. In addition, the loan portfolio continues to be well-diversified and is originated predominantly within our Western Washington and Oregon markets.
Credit Quality metrics remain sound with nonperforming assets at $1.2 million, or 0.10% of total assets at September 30, 2023, compared to nonperforming assets of $959,000, or 0.08% of total assets at June 30, 2023, and $989,000 of nonperforming assets, or 0.07% of total assets, at September 30, 2022. Balances related to non-impaired loans, graded watch or other loans especially mentioned, increased $51,000 to $13.1 million at September 30, 2023, compared to $13.1 million at June 30, 2023, and $31.5 million at September 30, 2022.
Adoption of New Accounting Standard In June 2016, Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13). The allowance for credit losses under ASU 2016-13 utilizes a Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) methodology which estimates the expected loan losses over the contractual life of the loans. GAAP prior to ASU 2016-13 required an “incurred loss” methodology for recognizing credit losses that delays recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. ASU 2016-13 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2023. The day 1 adoption of ASU 2016-13 and related amendments resulted in a decrease of $157,000 to the Bank’s allowance for credit losses-loans and an increase of $609,000 to the Bank’s allowance for credit losses-unfunded loan commitments for a cumulative-effect adjustment of $452,000 to decrease the beginning balance of retained earnings.
Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”) was $8.3 million, or 1.24% of gross loans at September 30, 2023, compared to $8.2 million, or 1.25% of gross loans, at June 30, 2023, and $8.2 million, or 1.33%, at September 30, 2022. Net charge-offs for the current quarter totaled $125,000, compared to $79,000 for the preceding quarter. A partial loan charge-off of $89,000 on one loan represented 71% of the net charge-offs for the current quarter. For the first nine months of 2023, net charge-offs were $204,000, compared to $48,000 for the first nine months of 2022. The total provision for credit losses, which includes a provision for credit losses on loans as well as a provision for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments, was $249,000 in the third quarter of 2023, compared to $71,000 in the second quarter of 2023. There was no provision booked in the third quarter a year ago. There was a $472,000 provision for credit losses in the first nine months of 2023, compared to no provision in the first nine months of 2022. The provisions were primarily as a result of the growth in loan balances during the quarter and the year.
Total Deposits were $1.05 billion at September 30, 2023, compared to $1.08 billion at June 30, 2023 and $1.25 billion at September 30, 2022. During the second quarter 2023, deposit balances were impacted by industry-wide pressure on deposits and competitive pricing pressures as well as interest rate sensitive customers transferring a portion of their excess deposits funds into higher yielding investments and increased customer spending. Deposits continued to decline during the third quarter although at a slower rate than during the first half of 2023. The demand for certificates of deposits (“CD’s”) increased as some customers continued to seek higher yield. Certificate of deposit balances increased $17.3 million from the linked quarter and $40.2 million from the third quarter a year ago and represent 9%, 7%, and 4%, of total deposits, at September 30, 2023, June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2022, respectively. At 41%, Non-interest bearing demand deposits continues to represent a high percentage of total deposits.
Shareholder’s Equity declined 2% to $106.6 million at September 30, 2023 compared to $108.9 million at June 30, 2023 and increased 8% from $98.3 million at September 30, 2022. Book value per common share was $10.22 at September 30, 2023, compared to $10.44 at June 30, 2023, and $9.45 at September 30, 2022. During the quarter as a result of higher market interest rates, the unrealized loss on available-for-sale investment securities increased and impacted shareholder’s equity by $4.6 million. The unrealized loss on available for sale securities was $29.8 million and $23.9 million as of September 30, 2023, and June 30, 2023, respectively. Tangible Common Equity Ratio (TCE) remained unchanged at 8.0% for September 30, 2023, compared to June 30, 2023. Regulatory capital ratios of both the company and the Bank continue to exceed the well-capitalized regulatory thresholds, with the company’s leverage ratio at 10.7% and total risk-based capital ratio at 17.6% as of September 30, 2023.
