BLOOMSBURG, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Muncy Columbia Financial Corporation (“Corporation”) (OTCQX: CCFN), parent company of Journey Bank (”Bank”), has released its unaudited consolidated financial statements for the second quarter of 2024.
Unaudited Financial Information
Net income, as reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was $4,707,000, or $1.32 per share compared to net income of $1,462,000, or $0.71 per share for the same period in 2023. Net income, as reported under GAAP, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $8,743,000, or $2.45 per share compared to $3,402,000, or $1.64 per share for the same period in 2023. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.20% and 12.28% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, as compared to 0.71% and 7.63% for the same period of 2023.
The fully-tax equivalent net interest margin on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities was 3.36% and 2.32% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Total consolidated assets amounted to $1,592,300,000 at June 30, 2024, as compared to $1,573,271,000 at March 31, 2024 and $1,639,779,000 at December 31, 2023. For the quarter ended June 30, 2024, loans receivable, not held for sale, increased by $19,918,000 while available-for-sale debt securities decreased $4,786,000. Total deposits increased $52,127,000 while short term borrowings decreased $36,627,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2024.
The increase in total deposits during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024 was as a result of a strategic initiative to reposition customer repurchase agreements, which are classified as short-term borrowings, into core deposit accounts. The Bank anticipates a continued migration of customer repurchase accounts from short-term borrowings to deposits throughout the remainder of 2024. The execution of this initiative will assist in optimizing the Bank’s long-term liquidity needs and balance sheet management strategies.
Total non-performing assets amounted to $7,736,000 or 0.49% of total assets at June 30, 2024, as compared to $7,328,000 or 0.47% of total assets at March 31, 2024.
The Corporation invests in various forms of agency debt including mortgage-backed securities and callable agency debt. The fair value of these securities is influenced by market interest rates, prepayment speeds on mortgage securities, bid to offer spreads in the market place and credit premiums for various types of agency debt. These factors change continuously and therefore the fair market value of these securities may be higher or lower than the Corporation’s carrying value at any measurement date. The temporary impact on investment securities will also affect stockholders’ equity as these fluctuations are recorded through accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). As of June 30, 2024, the temporary impact of these unrealized losses on the stockholders’ equity amounted to a reduction of $16,936,000. The Corporation does not consider its debt securities to be credit impaired since it has both the intent and ability to hold the securities until a recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, and the decline in fair value is deemed to be as a result of changes in interest rates and not credit factors.
Total stockholders’ equity equated to a book value per share of $44.11 at June 30, 2024 as compared with $43.08 at December 31, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 cash dividends of $0.88 per share were paid to stockholders as compared to $0.85 for the same period of 2023. The Corporation remains well capitalized, with an equity to assets ratio of 9.90% as of June 30, 2024 and 9.38% at December 31, 2023.
