WESTFIELD, Mass., April 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Western New England Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company” or “WNEB”) (NasdaqGS: WNEB), the holding company for Westfield Bank (the “Bank”), announced today the unaudited results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company reported net income of $5.3 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to net income of $5.8 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2021. On a linked quarter basis, net income was $5.3 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $6.2 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2021.
The Company also announced that the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share on the Company’s common stock. The dividend will be payable on or about May 25, 2022 to shareholders of record on May 11, 2022.
“We continue to build off a record year in 2021 and are pleased to announce strong first quarter results for the Company in 2022,” said James C. Hagan, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Notwithstanding a challenging economic and interest rate environment resulting in part from the ongoing global pandemic and geopolitical uncertainty, we remain optimistic about the Company’s growth opportunities in 2022.
As a result of utilizing excess cash from our successful increase in core deposits, the Company continues to show strong loan growth in key loan categories. We are pleased to report that our total loan portfolio increased $80.8 million during the first quarter, or 4.4%, excluding $19.3 million in Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans that were forgiven by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). During the first quarter, we have seen the strongest growth from our commercial real estate lending portfolio. Additionally, during the first quarter, commercial real estate loans increased $59.5 million, or 6.1%, as we continued to add new customer relationships throughout New England and in key strategic lending areas. Despite customers continuing to use their accumulated cash to fund their operations, commercial and industrial loans continue to be added to our loan portfolio and remain a strategic priority. We continue to be mindful of economic conditions, such as inflation, supply chain issues that may affect some of our business customers, as well as the anticipated Federal Reserve interest rate increases, but remain optimistic about our loan portfolio growth.
We believe the balance sheet management steps we took in 2021 have directly resulted in an increase in net interest income and the net interest margin, which increased from 3.10% in the fourth quarter of 2021 to 3.20% in the first quarter of 2022. We are well positioned for the long awaited increase in interest rates with a strong low-cost core deposit base. Our asset quality continues to remain extremely solid with historical lows for nonperforming loans to total loans of 0.21% and our capital position continues to remain strong.”
Hagan concluded, “Lastly, we would like to thank the West Hartford community for naming Westfield Bank the “2021 Best of West Hartford – Best Bank/Financial Institution” for the second year in a row. I would also like to thank our customers, employees, Board of Directors and shareholders for their support as we continue our efforts to grow the Company in new markets now and in the future.”

The loan to deposit ratio increased from 82.6% at December 31, 2021 to 84.6% at March 31, 2022 due to the increase in loans during the same period.

Repurchases
On April 27, 2021, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan (the “2021 Plan”) under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to 2.4 million shares, or 10% of its outstanding common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company repurchased 112,674 shares of common stock under the 2021 Plan. At March 31, 2022, there were 564,645 shares available for repurchase under the 2021 Plan.
The shares repurchased under the 2021 Plan will be purchased from time to time at prevailing market prices, through open market or privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, depending upon market conditions. There is no guarantee as to the exact number, or value, of shares that will be repurchased by the Company, and the Company may discontinue repurchases at any time that management determines additional repurchases are not warranted. The timing and amount of additional share repurchases under the 2021 Plan will depend on a number of factors, including the Company’s stock price performance, ongoing capital planning considerations, general market conditions, and applicable legal requirements.

Accumulated other comprehensive income/loss (“AOCI”) reduced the tangible book value per common share by $0.37 as of March 31, 2022, primarily due to the impact of higher interest rates on the fair value of available-for-sale securities. As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s and the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios continued to exceed the levels required to be considered “well-capitalized” under federal banking regulations.

The Company allocated a portion of its excess liquidity to the investment portfolio as an alternative to cash and cash equivalents. This shift from overnight investments to held-to-maturity securities will assist the Company with managing the yield on interest-earning assets in the low interest rate environment that we are experiencing while providing ongoing cash flows from payments and pay downs. The primary objective of the investment portfolio is to provide liquidity and maximize income while preserving the safety of principal.
Total Loans
At March 31, 2022, total loans were $1.9 billion, an increase of $61.6 million, or 3.3%, from December 31, 2021. Excluding PPP loans, total loans increased $80.8 million, or 4.4%, driven by an increase in commercial real estate loans of $59.5 million, or 6.1%, partially offset by a decrease in total commercial and industrial loans of $10.7 million, or 4.7%. Excluding a decrease of $19.3 million in PPP loans from December 31, 2021, commercial and industrial loans increased $8.6 million, or 4.2%, at March 31, 2022. Residential real estate loans, which include home equity loans, increased $12.4 million, or 1.9%. In accordance with the Company’s asset/liability management strategy, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company sold $277,000 of fixed rate, low coupon residential real estate loans to the secondary market. As of March 31, 2022, the Company serviced $85.5 million in loans sold to the secondary market, compared to $88.2 million at December 31, 2021. Servicing rights will continue to be retained on all loans written and sold to the secondary market.

Management continues to remain attentive to any signs of deterioration in borrowers’ financial conditions and is proactive in taking the appropriate steps to mitigate risk. At March 31, 2022, nonperforming loans totaled $4.0 million, or 0.21% of total loans, compared to $5.0 million, or 0.27% of total loans, at December 31, 2021. At March 31, 2022, there were no loans 90 or more days past due and still accruing interest. Nonperforming assets to total assets, was 0.16% at March 31, 2022, compared to 0.20% at December 31, 2021. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans, was 1.00% at March 31, 2022, compared to 1.06% at December 31, 2021. At March 31, 2022, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 484.2%, compared to 398.6%, at December 31, 2021.
Deposits
At March 31, 2022, total deposits were $2.3 billion, an increase of $21.3 million, or 0.9%, from December 31, 2021, primarily due to an increase in core deposits of $44.2 million, or 2.4%. Core deposits, which the Company defines as all deposits except time deposits, increased from $1.9 billion, or 82.2% of total deposits, at December 31, 2021, to $1.9 billion, or 83.4% of total deposits, at March 31, 2022. Non-interest-bearing deposits decreased $11.1 million, or 1.7%, to $630.2 million, interest-bearing checking accounts decreased $6.4 million, or 4.4%, to $139.3 million, savings accounts increased $7.0 million, or 3.2%, to $224.6 million, and money market accounts increased $54.7 million, or 6.4%, to $905.1 million.

FHLB and Subordinated Debt
At March 31, 2022, total borrowings decreased $1.0 million, or 4.5%, from $22.3 million at December 31, 2021, to $21.3 million. FHLB advances decreased $1.0 million, or 36.5%, to $1.7 million and subordinated debt outstanding totaled $19.6 million at March 31, 2022 and at December 31, 2021.
Capital
At March 31, 2022, shareholders’ equity was $219.1 million, or 8.6% of total assets, compared to $223.7 million, or 8.8% of total assets, at December 31, 2021. The decrease in shareholders’ equity reflects $1.2 million for the repurchase of the Company’s common stock, the payment of regular cash dividends of $1.3 million and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $8.4 million, partially offset by net income of $5.3 million. Total shares outstanding as of March 31, 2022 were 22,742,189.
Capital Management
The Company’s book value per share was $9.63 at March 31, 2022 compared to $9.87 at December 31, 2021, while tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) decreased $0.24, or 2.6%, from $9.21 at December 31, 2021 to $8.97 at March 31, 2022. AOCI reduced the tangible book value per common share by $0.37 as of March 31, 2022, primarily due to the impact of higher interest rates on the fair value of available-for-sale securities.
The Company’s regulatory capital ratios remain in compliance with regulatory “well capitalized” requirements and internal target minimal levels. At March 31, 2022, the Company’s Tier 1 leverage, common equity tier 1 capital, and total risk-based capital ratios were 8.9%, 11.9%, and 14.0%, respectively, and the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage, common equity tier 1 capital, and total risk-based capital ratios were 9.1%, 12.1%, and 13.1%, respectively, compared with regulatory “well capitalized” minimums of 5.00%, 6.5%, and 10.00%, respectively.
Dividends
Although the Company has historically paid quarterly dividends on its common stock and currently intends to continue to pay such dividends, the Company’s ability to pay such dividends depends on a number of factors, including restrictions under federal laws and regulations on the Company’s ability to pay dividends, and as a result, there can be no assurance that dividends will continue to be paid in the future.

(1) Loans, including nonaccrual loans, are net of deferred loan origination costs and unadvanced funds.
(2) Loan and securities income are presented on a tax-equivalent basis using a tax rate of 21%. The tax-equivalent adjustment is deducted from tax-equivalent net interest and dividend income to agree to the amount reported on the consolidated statements of net income.
(3) Short-term investments include federal funds sold.
(4) Net interest rate spread represents the difference between the weighted average yield on interest-earning assets and the weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
(5) Net interest rate spread, on a tax-equivalent basis, represents the difference between the tax-equivalent weighted average yield on interest-earning assets and the tax-equivalent weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
(6) Net interest margin represents net interest and dividend income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets.
(7) Net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, represents tax-equivalent net interest and dividend income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets.
(8) Acquired loans, time deposits and borrowings are recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition. The fair value marks on the loans, time deposits and borrowings acquired accrete and amortize into net interest income over time. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and March 31, 2021, the loan accretion income and interest expense reduction on time deposits and borrowings increased (decreased) net interest income $39,000, $(31,000) and $(45,000), respectively. Excluding these items, net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and March 31, 2021 was 3.19%, 3.10% and 3.27%, respectively.
