CSB Bancorp, Inc. (OTC Pink: CSBB) today announced fourth quarter 2021 net income of $2,306,000, or $0.85 per basic and diluted share, as compared to $2,679,000, or $0.97 per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2020. Income before federal income tax amounted to $2,840,000, a decrease of 14% over the same quarter in the prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2021 net income totaled $10,837,000 compared to $10,568,000 for the same period last year, an increase of 3%.

Annualized returns on average common equity (“ROE”) and average assets (“ROA”) for the quarter were 9.41% and 0.80%, respectively, compared with 11.45% and 1.05% for the fourth quarter of 2020.

Eddie Steiner, President and CEO stated, “Residential mortgage applications declined during the quarter, as many homeowners have refinanced to lower rates, housing stock remains in tight supply, mortgage rates have increased modestly, and the holiday season and COVID levels impeded some activity. Business loan demand shows signs of strengthening, although still held somewhat in check by significant borrower liquidity, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, and inflation uncertainties. Deposit growth has remained strong, with our balances increasing 3.5% during fourth quarter to finish the year above one billion dollars. We are also grateful to report our tenth consecutive year of record net income.”

Net interest income and noninterest income totaled $8.5 million during the quarter, a decrease of $724 thousand from the prior-year fourth quarter. Net interest income decreased $471 thousand, or 7%, in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.

Loan interest income, including fees, decreased $1.1 million, or 15%, during fourth quarter 2021 as compared to the same quarter in 2020. The decrease was mainly due to average total loan balances declining $75 million below the year ago quarter, including average Paycheck Protection Program loans (“PPP”) declining $73 million from the prior year quarter. Loan yields for fourth quarter 2021 averaged 4.47%, a decrease of 16 basis points from the 2020 fourth quarter average of 4.63%, The loan yield decrease partially resulted from PPP loan forgiveness resulting in $394 thousand less in PPP fees recognized in fourth quarter 2021 compared to fourth quarter 2020.

The net interest margin was 2.48% compared to 2.85% for fourth quarter 2020. As discussed above, both loan volume and rate declined, partially offset with volume increases within the securities account, and rate decreases on liabilities. Liquidity continues to play a factor on the margin as the growth of average overnight funds rose $72 million on a quarter over prior year quarter comparison. The tax equivalency effect on the margin was 0.01% in fourth quarter 2021 compared to 0.02% in fourth quarter 2020.

With the decrease in outstanding loan balances and continuing improvement in credit quality, there was no provision for loan losses for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 as compared to $378 thousand loss provision for the prior year fourth quarter when the effect of COVID on future credit losses was not discernable. COVID factors have not significantly affected the Bank’s loan portfolio quality to date, and local businesses are beginning or restarting construction projects previously sidelined by a significant degree of COVID-related uncertainty.

Noninterest income decreased 12%, compared to fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily the result of a $487 thousand, or 64%, decline in gain on sale of mortgages to the secondary market, as refinancing of mortgages slowed and home purchases were limited by a lack of housing inventory for sale. Offsetting increases were recognized in debit and credit card fee income, earnings from bank owned life insurance values, and brokerage and trust income.

Noninterest expense increased 2% from fourth quarter 2020. Salary and employee benefit costs increased $194 thousand, or 6%, compared to the prior year quarter, primarily resulting from increases in compensation and workman’s compensation as the 2020 credits expired. A recovery was recognized on the provision for unfunded loan commitments of $107 thousand compared to the prior year quarter primarily as commercial loan construction commitments funded in the fourth quarter decreasing the senior/assisted living sector unfunded exposure at December 31, 2021. Marketing and public relations increased by $137 thousand, or 26%, reflecting a return to normalized levels after the pandemic-related curtailment of activities in 2020. Software expense increased by $42 thousand reflecting investment in new platforms. FDIC insurance expense increased $20 thousand above the prior year quarter due to the increase in asset size. Professional and directors’ fees decreased $88 thousand, or 20% primarily reflecting a decline in collection legal fees. The Company’s fourth quarter efficiency ratio increased to 66.4% compared to 59.8%.

Federal income tax expense totaled $534 thousand in fourth quarter 2021, as compared to $640 thousand tax expense for the same quarter in 2020. The effective tax rate approximated 19% in both periods.

Average total assets during the quarter rose to $1.14 billion, an increase of $120 million, or 12%, above the same quarter of the prior year. Liquidity increased as the Company’s average interest-bearing balances with banks increased $72 million, to $266 million, as compared to the fourth quarter in 2020. Average loan balances of $544 million decreased $75 million, or 12%, from the prior year fourth quarter while average securities balances of $234 million increased $116 million, or 76%, as compared to fourth quarter 2020.

Average commercial loan balances for the quarter, including commercial real estate, decreased $64 million, or 15%, from prior year levels. Excluding a $73 million decrease in average PPP loan balances, commercial loans increased $9 million year over year as construction loans were drawn and borrowers used term loans to fund equipment and other purchases. Average residential mortgage balances decreased $3 million, or 3%, below the prior year’s quarter while home equity lines of credit decreased $6 million from the prior year’s quarter as balances were paid down or refinanced into low-rate term mortgages. Average consumer credit balances decreased $2 million, or 9%, versus the same quarter of the prior year. Increased organic loan demand continues to be largely dependent on the pace at which excess liquidity is absorbed by businesses and households and restoration of borrower confidence as pandemic uncertainty diminishes.

Nonperforming assets decreased $3.4 million from December 31, 2020 to $1.1 million, or 0.20%, of total loans plus other real estate on December 31, 2021, primarily the result of payoffs of $2.1 million. Delinquent loan balances as of December 31, 2021 decreased to 0.27% of total loans as compared to 0.88% on December 31, 2020.

Net loan charge-offs recognized during fourth quarter 2021 were $27 thousand, or 0.02% annualized, compared to fourth quarter 2020 net loan losses of $459 thousand. The allowance for loan losses amounted to 1.39% of total loans on December 31, 2021 as compared to 1.36% on December 31, 2020.

Average deposit balances grew on a quarter over prior year quarter comparison by $122 million, or 14%. For the fourth quarter 2021, the average cost of deposits amounted to 0.15%, as compared to 0.27% for the fourth quarter 2020. During the fourth quarter 2021, increases in average deposit balances over the prior year quarter included noninterest-bearing demand accounts of $62 million and interest-bearing demand and savings accounts of $61 million, while time deposits decreased $1 million. The average balance of securities sold under repurchase agreement during the fourth quarter of 2021 decreased by $4 million, or 9%, compared to the average for the same period in the prior year.

Shareholders’ equity totaled $97.3 million on December 31, 2021 with 2.7 million common shares outstanding. The average equity to assets ratio amounted to 8.54% on December 31, 2021 and 9.13% on December 31, 2020. The Company declared a fourth quarter dividend of $0.31 per share, producing an annualized yield of 3.3% based on the December 31, 2021 closing price of $37.75.

Cares Act and related events

CSB facilitated and funded $129 million of SBA emergency PPP loans in 2020 and 2021. As of December 31, 2021, $125 million has been received from the SBA in forgiveness. and approximately $181 thousand remains in unearned fees at December 31, 2021. All loans modified to businesses and consumers to deal with the uncertainty of the economy during 2020 and 2021 have entered repayment.

During fourth quarter 2021, the available for sale investment securities were reviewed for price volatility with $78.3 million book value securities transferred from available for sale to held to maturity at $76.3 million market value to protect additional declines to tangible book value with the projected increases in market interest rates in 2022 and 2023.

Following the rise in market interest rates during the first weeks of January 2022, approximately $60 million in investment securities were purchased and added to the investment portfolio, reducing overnight cash. Purchased investments included mortgage-backed instruments and short-term corporate and US treasury notes.

(a) - Net Interest income on a fully tax-equivalent ("FTE") basis restates interest on tax-exempt securities and loans as if such interest were subject to federal income tax at the statutory rate. Net interest income on an FTE basis differs from net interest income under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
