Fourth quarter 2022 net earnings of $1.3 million, or $0.52 per common share
Quarterly return on average assets of 1.2% and return on average equity of 6.9%
Annual net earnings of $6.7 million, or $2.75 per common share
Oregon Bancorp, Inc. (OTCBB: ORBN) (the “Company”), parent company of Willamette Valley Bank, reported net income for the fourth quarter totaled $1.3 million resulting in an annualized return on average assets of 1.2% and a return on average equity of 6.9%. This compares to net income of $4.0 million from the fourth quarter of 2021. Annual earnings totaled $6.7 million which resulted in a return on average assets of 1.6% and return on average equity of 9.3%.
Total assets decreased $20.4 million, or 4.9%, during the quarter. Although a decrease in deposits of $22.8 million was the primary reason for the decline, commercial loan balances increased $3.4 million. Bank asset quality and capital remain good which permitted the Board of Directors to distribute a $0.52 per share quarterly dividend on January 17, 2023.
Ryan Dempster, President and CEO, commented, “The Federal Reserve’s decisions to rapidly increase interest rates to reduce inflation have negatively impacted the number of borrowers seeking mortgage financing.” He further stated, “Although we have experienced a decline in mortgage banking revenue, the increasing rate environment has led to improved net interest margins.”
