News provided by

Rhinebeck Bancorp, Inc.

Poughkeepsie, New York., July 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Rhinebeck Bancorp, Inc., (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: RBKB), the holding company of Rhinebeck Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 of $1.2 million ($0.11 per basic and diluted share), $642,000, or 110.9%, more than the comparable prior year period, and $2.1 million ($0.20 per basic and diluted share), which is $937,000, or 78.4%, greater than the same period last year.

On January 16, 2019, the Company became the holding company for the Bank when it closed its stock offering in connection with the completion of the reorganization of the Bank and Rhinebeck Bancorp, MHC into a two-tier mutual holding company form of organization. The Company sold 4,787,315 shares of common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, for net proceeds of $46.0 million, and issued 6,345,975 shares to Rhinebeck Bancorp, MHC. The consolidated financial results contained herein reflect the consolidated accounts of the Company and the Bank at and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and Rhinebeck Bancorp, MHC and the Bank for the same periods ended June 30, 2018 and at December 31, 2018.

Other financial highlights:

Total assets grew $30.7 million, or 3.5%, to $913.1 million from the year ended December 31, 2018.

Net loans increased a total of $58.9 million, or 8.7%, to $737.3 million from year end 2018.

Total deposit balances were $716.9 million at June 30, 2019, increasing $32.4 million, or 4.5%, during the six months then ended.

Return on average assets was 0.54% for the three month period compared to 0.30% for the corresponding period of 2018. Return on average assets was 0.49% for the six month period compared to 0.32% for the comparable prior year period.

Return on average equity was 4.71% for the second quarter compared to 4.23% for the same period of 2018. Return on average equity was 4.34% for the six month period compared to 4.41% for 2018.

Michael J. Quinn, President and Chief Executive Officer, said: “We are pleased with the success of our strategy undertaken to expand our portfolio of indirect automobile loans and the positive overall impacts on both assets and income. Efforts to expand our market presence improve and expand our technology platform and offerings, manage our interest rate risks, improve loan quality, and control our loan delinquencies continued during the quarter.”

Income Statement Analysis

Compared to the second quarter of 2018, net interest income increased $1.2 million, or 17.1%, to $7.9 million. Our net interest margin decreased from 3.80% to 3.75%, while the ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities improved 4.9% to 136.5%. Year to date net interest income increased $2.3 million, or 17.7%, over 2018, to $15.5 million. Overall there was a 1 basis point decline in net interest margin to 3.77%, when comparing the six month periods, while the ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities improved 5.3% to 137.7%. In both comparable periods, interest income increases were mostly driven by increasing originations of higher yielding indirect automobile loans accompanied by additional production of commercial real estate loans.

Non-interest income totaled $1.4 million for the three months; an increase of $549,000, or 62.2%, compared to $883,000 in the prior year. A new deposit fee schedule and retail operating improvements, increased sales of residential mortgage loans, and significant growth in investment advisory income at our Rhinebeck Asset Management (“RAM”) division were primary drivers of this outcome. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, non-interest income totaled $2.7 million, an increase of $565,000, or 26.5%. An other real estate owned (“OREO”) write-down that occurred in the first quarter of 2018, for $387,000, improved both periods’ 2019 comparative performances.

For the second quarter, non-interest expenses increased $649,000 to $7.0 million, over the comparable 2018 period. Salaries and employee benefits increased $530,000, or 15.4%, attributable to annual salary merit increases, production incentives, employee benefit increases and additions to staff. The growth of other general operating expenses was mainly due to increases in overall processing volumes, the additions of new technologies and equipment, and additional costs related to our new status as a public company. For the six months ended, non-interest expenses increased $1.2 million to $14.0 million, or 9.4%, as compared to the first half of last year. Year to date salaries and employee benefits increased $1.1 million, or 15.2%. Both comparative periods were positively impacted by a large reduction in our FDIC assessment, decreased OREO expense (as we spent additional funds to prepare a foreclosure property for sale in 2018), and an impairment loss on goodwill in the amount of $95,000 relating to RAM that was recognized in the first quarter of 2018.

We recorded $780,000 in provision for loan losses for the second quarter and $1.6 million for the first six months as compared to $525,000 and $1.1 million, respectively, for the comparable prior year periods. Net charge-offs for the quarter ended totaled $105,000, and year to date totaled $348,000, compared to $206,000 and $568,000, for the respective periods in 2018.

Balance Sheet Analysis

Total assets were $913.1 million at June 30, 2019, representing an increase of $30.7 million, or 3.5%, from December 31, 2018. Net loans increased $58.9 million, or 8.7%, including an increase of $41.2 million in indirect automobile loan balances due to production of $108.4 million of those loans since year end. During the first six months of this year commercial real estate balances improved by $16.1 million or 7.2%. The available for sale securities balance increased $10.1 million mostly due to $18.0 million in purchases. Cash and due from banks decreased $38.6 million during the period primarily as a result of a return of $41.1 million in unfulfilled offering subscriptions.

Overdue loans decreased $878,000, or 9.9%, between year end and June 30, 2019 finishing at 1.1% of total loans, or $8.0 million. During the same timeframe non-performing assets rose $371,000 or 5.0%, to $7.7 million. Our reserve as a percentage of total gross loans was 1.1% at June 30, 2018.

Total liabilities decreased $15.6 million, or 1.9%, to $807.5 million mainly due to the release of $88.9 million in gross subscription offering proceeds and a $5.0 million line of credit pay-down, offset by an increase of $32.9 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances and a $32.4 million, or 4.5%, increase in deposits.

Stockholders' equity increased $46.3 million to $105.6 million, primarily due to proceeds from the common stock offering of $46.0 million. At June 30, 2019, the Company's ratio of stockholders' equity-to-total assets was 11.6%, compared to 6.7% at December 31, 2018.
