COEUR D'ALENE, ID / ACCESSWIRE / January 13, 2023 / Coeur d'Alene Bancorp (OTC PINK:CDAB), the parent company of bankcda, is pleased to announce its results for the fourth quarter 2022 and the year ended December 31,2022.

Coeur d'Alene Bancorp today reported net income for the fourth quarter 2022 of $825,017 compared to $694,540 in the linked quarter and $413,091 for the fourth quarter 2021. Net income for the 12 months ended December 31, 2022, totaled $2,164,328 or $1.14 per share, compared to $1,775,330 or $0.94 per share, for the 12 months ended December 31, 2021. All results are unaudited.

As of December 31, 2022, total consolidated assets were $244.5 million, a decrease of $3.1 million or 1.3%, compared to December 31, 2021. The decrease in total assets was the result of unrealized losses on investment increasing $8.1 million during 2022. Total investment in debt securities increased $16.6 million during the year, ending the year at $110.5 million. Total loans increased $25.0 million during the year, ending the year at $107.3 million. Total deposits increased $3.0 million during the year, to end at $222.6 million, an increase of 1.4%.

Shareholder equity was $9.19 per share at December 31, 2022, up from $8.63 at September 30, 2022, and down from $11.43 at December 31, 2021. The negative variance as compared to December 31, 2021, was due to changes in the unrealized holding loss on securities available for sale resulting from higher market interest rates and lowering tangible book value by $2.24 per share in 2022.

The board of directors Coeur d'Alene Bancorp declared a cash dividend of $0.29 per share on December 14, 2022. The dividend will be paid on January 17, 2023, to shareholders of record on December 30, 2022.

"We had a successful year with earnings of $2.16 million, a 22% increase over prior year, and loan growth of 30%. Our strong liquidity position allowed us to benefit from rising rates while maintaining a low cost of funds. Like many of our peer banks we experienced deposit run-off during the fourth quarter, but still maintain solid liquidity. Our investment portfolio remains short with a duration of 2.2 years which we expect will allow us to reposition our portfolio into higher yielding assets prior to rates moving down. Although we anticipate 2023 to be a challenging year to achieve asset growth while trying to control funding costs, we expect that loan growth and investment purchases made in 2022 will provide the opportunity for improved earnings in 2023." Said Wes Veach, President and Chief Executive Officer.

"Based on our overall financial condition, and solid capital levels, outstanding asset quality metrics, including the possibility of augmenting net interest income from probable further FOMC rate hikes, we believe we are well positioned to withstand the negative impacts associated with a slowing economy," said Veach. "In addition, our financial strength and improved earnings has allowed the payment of our first cash dividend in three years."
