National Capital Bancorp, Inc. Reports First 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 $1,170,000, or $4.07 per common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to net income of $949,000 or $3.30 per common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The earnings improvement was primarily attributable to the results of productivity improvement and cost-reduction initiatives that took place throughout 2023.

Total assets increased year-over-year to $708,183,000 on March 31, 2024 compared to $661,365,000 on March 31, 2023. Total loans of $509,187,000 on March 31, 2024 increased by $12.2 million during the quarter and have increased by $70.8 million, or 16.1%, from the year before. Total deposits of $581,762,000 on March 31, 2024, increased $1.1 million during the quarter and have increased $17.2 million, or 3.0%, from the year before. While the Company has increased its utilization of borrowings from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve over the past year 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 3.20% during the first quarter of 2024 was stable compared with 3.21% in the fourth quarter of 2023 but was down compared with 3.45% in the first quarter of 2023. We are encouraged by the stabilization of our net interest margin in the most recent quarter. 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 over the past several quarters 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 $54,053,000 on March 31, 2024 from $49,725,000 a year ago due primarily to the retained earnings for the past twelve months. For the quarter ended March 31, 2024 the return on average assets and return on average equity was 0.68% and 8.69%, respectively.

“We are encouraged by our continually improving efficiency ratio. These results are a direct effort by the entire team to fully utilize the technology we have and embrace change,” said Jimmy Olevson, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank. Olevson continued, “We are focused on being the best community bank in the DC metropolitan area for our clients and employees while providing increased shareholder return each year.”

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 May 16, 2024. The dividend payout of $190,180.32 on 288,152 shares is payable May 30, 2024. The Board of Directors also approved a share repurchase program of up to $300,000, allowing for purchases from time to time, in open market or private transactions with an expiration date of February 28, 2025.
