National Capital Bancorp, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter Earnings

National Capital Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTC Pink: NACB), the holding company for The National Capital Bank of Washington (“NCB” or the “Bank") reported net income of $1,088,000, or $3.78 per common share, for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to net income of $1,355,000 or $4.71 per common share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company reported net income of $4,363,000, or $15.17 per share, compared to $4,588,000, or $15.98 for the year ended December 31, 2022. A recovery of provision for credit losses in the fourth quarter of the prior year along with a stronger net interest margin in the prior year period were the leading factors in the decrease in Company profitability in the fourth quarter of 2023. Prior year non-interest income included a $393,000 loss on the sale of securities which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company has implemented cost reduction initiatives during the most recent quarter to help offset the pressure from increased funding costs. Loan quality remains pristine with no non-performing loans as of December 31, 2023.

Total assets increased during the quarter to $703,051,000 on December 31, 2023. Total loans of $496,982,000 on December 31, 2023, increased by $19.9 million during the quarter and have increased $71.8 million on a year-to-date basis. Total deposits of $580,649,000 on December 31, 2023, increased $19.7 million during the quarter to provided funding for our loan growth and have increased $8.9 million on a year-to-date basis. While the Company has begun to utilize borrowings from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve in 2023 to help in meeting loan growth opportunities, it has a relatively low reliance on wholesale funding sources and maintains strong levels of available secured borrowing capacity to meet the financing and cash flow needs of our client base as well as continue to pursue desirable new relationship opportunities.

The Company’s net interest margin of 3.21% during the fourth quarter of 2023 was down slightly compared with 3.23% in the third quarter of 2023 and down compared with 3.51% in the fourth quarter of 2022. While the past several quarters have benefited from the favorable impact of interest rate increases on variable-rate loans, interest-bearing cash balances and on newly originated loans, we did see compression of our net interest margin again in the most recent quarter due to increased competition for deposits along with some utilization of wholesale funding sources to enhance our liquidity position and satisfy client borrowing needs and new loan opportunities.

Total shareholders’ equity increased to $53,370,000 on December 31, 2023, from $48,328,000 a year ago due primarily to the retained earnings for the past twelve months. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the return on average assets and return on average equity was 0.66% and 8.68%, respectively.

“We were pleased to see strong core deposit growth occur in the fourth quarter. Those results are a reflection of both our commercial and retail team members who continue to bring new relationships to the Bank,” said Jimmy Olevson, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank. Olevson continued, “Additionally in the fourth quarter, we executed a right sizing and restructuring with our staff. The moves made have positioned National Capital Bank to continually improve our efficiency while increasing shareholder return in the long run."

The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a dividend of $0.66 per share for shareholders of record as of February 14, 2024. The dividend payout of $189,817.32 on 287,602 shares is payable February 28, 2024, and represents a $0.06 per share, or 10.0% increase, over the prior quarterly dividend.
