“We delivered strong operational performance during the September quarter with our pretax preprovision earnings up over 14% when we adjust for the servicing rights impairment,” stated Mark A. Klein, Chairman, President, and CEO. “We are on track with our Marblehead acquisition and are especially pleased that we have increased the tangible book value per share by 26% in the last year.”

“Our Loan Book expanded to $1.03 billion, an increase of $40.9 million, underscoring our disciplined approach to portfolio expansion. Despite market pressures from interest rates, our deposits increased by $74.2 million or 6.8% year-over-year reaching $1.16 billion,” added Mr. Klein.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated Revenue

In the third quarter of 2024, core earnings and margins rose with operating revenue rising to $14.3 million, a 4.5% increase from the $13.7 million in the prior year. While net interest income rose to $10.2 million, a 6.8% increase year-over-year, the Company faced pressure from rising deposit costs, which drove a 21% increase in interest expenses. Despite this, net interest margin saw a slight expansion, increasing by 9 basis points compared to the same period last year, reaching 3.17%.

Noninterest income was down 1.0%, however, when adjusted for the servicing rights impairment and the gain on sale of assets, it was up nearly 4%. Mortgage gain on sale had its best quarter since the first quarter of 2022 and we saw solid increases in Title insurance revenue (up 13%) and Wealth management revenue (up 5%).

Mortgage Loan Business

In the third quarter of 2024, SB Financial Group recorded a 15.5% year-over-year increase in mortgage loan originations, reaching $70.7 million, up from $61.2 million in the corresponding period last year. This strong performance reflects our ability to capitalize on favorable market conditions and underscores the resilience of the housing sector, which continues to show signs of strength despite broader economic challenges. Mortgage sales followed this growth, reaching $61.3 million, or 86.6% of total originations. This represents a 13.3% year-over-year increase from $54.1 million, signaling our ongoing success in expanding our market reach and maintaining a competitive position. The sales volume highlights the robustness of our operations, even as competition intensifies in the residential lending space.

However, mortgage banking net revenue decreased to $1.35 million, down 17.9% from $1.65 million in the prior year. This decline was primarily driven by a negative Originated Mortgage Servicing Rights (“OMSR”) valuation adjustment of $465 thousand this quarter, significantly impacting net loan servicing fees. This reflects broader market headwinds, including shifts in borrower behavior and refinancing rates, which put pressure on servicing valuations. Despite this, gains from the sale of mortgages and continued efficiency in our operations helped partially offset the decline. The mortgage servicing portfolio expanded by 2.9%, reaching $1.41 billion. This steady growth in our servicing portfolio is a testament to our commitment to building long-term, sustainable relationships.

Mr. Klein stated, “This quarter has showcased improved efficiency in our mortgage operations. Although our results slightly missed our internal targets, the shortfall primarily reflects the heightened competitiveness and shifting dynamics within the mortgage market. Despite these challenges, our proactive measures, including expanding our origination teams, including closing our first loan from the Cincinnati market, have positioned us to capitalize on market opportunities and maintain our momentum.”

Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense

For the third quarter of 2024, SB Financial Group’s noninterest income slightly declined to $4.12 million, representing a 1.0% decrease compared to $4.16 million in the third quarter of 2023. This minor reduction was primarily driven by lower mortgage loan servicing fees, which fell from $438 thousand in the third quarter of 2023 to $39 thousand in the third quarter of 2024, reflecting significant pressure in the mortgage servicing market. Furthermore, other noninterest income also contributed to the decline. However, this was partially offset by an increase in wealth management fees, which rose by 5.4% to $882 thousand, and a gain on the sale of mortgage loans and OMSR, which increased to $1.31 million from $1.21 million in the prior-year quarter. The gain on the sale of assets further contributed positively with $200 thousand realized this quarter.

Noninterest expenses for the third quarter were reported at $11.0 million, reflecting a 5.0% increase compared to $10.5 million in the third quarter of 2023. This rise was primarily driven by the increase of additional talent, which rose by 10.3% to $6.06 million, along with a 17% increase in data processing fees to $758 thousand. While certain expense categories saw reductions, such as other expenses, which decreased to $804 thousand from $1.1 million in the prior year, these declines were not sufficient enough to offset the overall increase in operating expenses.

Mr. Klein commented on the financial performance, stating, “Our noninterest income continues to show resilience, supported by gains from mortgage-related activities and consistent wealth management performance. As expected, the competitive environment and market fluctuations impacted servicing fees. On the expense side, our focus remains on managing costs related to growth initiatives, and we are committed to optimizing our cost structure to maintain operational efficiency and deliver sustained value to our stakeholders.”

Balance Sheet

As of September 30, 2024, SB Financial Group continued to demonstrate financial stability, with total assets increasing to $1.39 billion, a 5.1% increase from $1.33 billion at the end of the prior-year period. This growth underscores our ability to maintain a robust financial position amidst changing market conditions.

Our loan portfolio remained strong, standing at $1.03 billion, up by $40.9 million or 4.1% compared to the prior year. This growth highlights our effective lending practices and strong demand in the credit market. Additionally, cash and cash equivalents increased significantly to $49.3 million, up 159.1% from $19.0 million a year ago, enhancing our liquidity position and providing us with greater flexibility in navigating economic uncertainties.

Deposits increased to $1.16 billion, reflecting a 6.8% growth compared to the prior-year figure of $1.09 billion, driven by increases across all interest-bearing deposit categories. This growth reflects continued trust from our clients and a solid base to support ongoing operations.

Shareholders’ equity expanded significantly to $132.8 million, a 5.9% increase from the linked quarter and an 18.2% year-over-year rise, underscoring our commitment to driving shareholder value. This improvement can be attributed to retained earnings growth and an improvement in accumulated comprehensive losses. The year-over-year growth in shareholders’ equity reflects our focus on strengthening the balance sheet and optimizing capital allocation strategies.

Mr. Klein, commented, “In 2024, we have maintained a disciplined and proactive approach to our growth and capital management, aligning closely with our strategic objectives. Our ability to sustain and grow our loan portfolio, even in a highly competitive market, demonstrates the resilience of our business model and the effectiveness of our relationship-driven lending practices. Furthermore, the year-over-year increase in shareholders’ equity highlights our continued commitment to delivering shareholder value. We remain poised to leverage future opportunities that will further fortify our financial position and ensure long-term prosperity for our stakeholders.”

Asset Quality

SB Financial Group’s commitment to maintaining exceptional asset quality remained strong through the third quarter of 2024. As of September 2024, nonperforming loans constituted 0.54% of total loans, an increase from 0.47% in the prior quarter. While the allowance for credit losses coverage stood at 276.8% of nonperforming loans—below the 330% reported in the linked quarter—it remains robust, signaling a conservative approach to risk management.

Additionally, the net loan charge-offs to average loans ratio was a modest 0.01%, further highlighting SB Financial Group’s effective loan repayment management. Collectively, these metrics reinforce our reputation for disciplined risk oversight and credit administration.

Mr. Klein concluded, “Our third quarter performance underscores our continued commitment to maintaining high asset quality. Although we observed a slight increase in nonperforming loans and a decrease in our reserve coverage ratio, our allowance for credit losses remains robust. This, coupled with our disciplined approach to credit risk management, demonstrates our focus on preserving the long-term strength of our loan portfolio and ensuring stability amidst ongoing economic shifts.”
