National Capital Bancorp, Inc. Reports Second 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 $1,520,000, or $5.28 per common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to net income of $1,190,000 or $4.13 per common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company reported net income of $2,690,000, or $9.35 per share, compared to $2,139,000, or $7.44 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The earnings improvement was primarily attributable to the results of productivity improvement and cost-reduction initiatives that have taken place since early 2023 along with a rebound in our net interest margin during the second quarter.

Total assets ended the quarter at $715,959,000 on June 30, 2024. Total loans of $504,385,000 on June 30, 2024 decreased $4.8 million during the quarter but have increased $39.2 million (8.4%) over the past twelve months. Total deposits increased $25.9 million during the quarter to $607,632,000 on June 30, 2024 and have increased $43.8 million (7.8%) over the past twelve months. The Company has focused on balanced growth over the past year with deposit growth providing the funding for new loan opportunities. As a result, the Company continues to experience 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 3.27% during the second quarter of 2024 rebounded compared with 3.20% in the first quarter of 2024 and was only down slightly compared with 3.30% in the second quarter of 2023. While the past several quarters had benefited from the favorable impact of interest rate increases on variable-rate loans, interest-bearing cash balances and on newly originated loans, we had experienced compression of our net interest margin during each quarter of 2023 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. We are encouraged by the improvement of our net interest margin in the most recent quarter as our strong deposit growth was deployed in higher-yielding assets.

Total shareholders’ equity increased to $55,179,000 on June 30, 2024 from $50,422,000 a year ago due primarily to the retained earnings for the past twelve months. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the annualized return on average assets and return on average equity was 0.77% and 9.95%, respectively.

"We are pleased to report a strong quarter with significant growth in total deposits, demonstrating our customers' continued trust in our bank," said Bank CEO Jimmy Olevson. "Our efforts to streamline operations have successfully lowered our efficiency ratio, and we are encouraged by our overall results. At the same time, we are mindful of the potential headwinds related to commercial real estate loans, and the possible challenges that may arise in the coming months. We continue to closely monitor the credit profiles within the commercial real estate portfolio as well as changes in our market area that may impact that segment of our business. Our culture of dedicated service to our customers served our bank well during the first half of 2024, and these results reflect our commitment to delivering strong financial performance and creating value for our shareholders."

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 August 15, 2024. The dividend payout of $189,932.16 on 287,776 shares is payable August 29, 2024.

In April of 2024, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program of up to $300,000, allowing for purchases from time to time, in open market or private transactions with a program expiration date of February 28, 2025. During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 300 shares at an average share price of $175.55.
