PR Newswire
HUNTINGTON, Ind., Jan. 23, 2024
HUNTINGTON, Ind., Jan. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Northeast Indiana Bancorp, Inc. (OTCQB: NIDB), the parent company of First Federal Savings Bank, today announced net income for the full year of 2023 was $4.3 million, or $1.77 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $6.6 million, or $2.73 per diluted common share for the full year of 2022. The annual earnings of 2023 equate to a return on average assets (ROA) ratio of 0.90% and a return on average equity (ROE) ratio of 9.72% compared to ROA of 1.54% and ROE of 14.90% for the full year of 2022.
Net income for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023 was $741,000, or $0.31 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $1.6 million, or $0.65 per diluted common share for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022. The current quarter earnings equate to an annualized ROA of 0.60% and an annualized ROE of 6.75% compared to an annualized ROA of 1.42% and an annualized ROE of 14.84% for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022.
Factoring into the decline of net income was margin pressure throughout 2023 leading to a reduction in net interest income of $730,000 compared to the same period in 2022. Provision expenses increased by $1.1 million as implementation of the new CECL accounting standard during the year required the bank to increase the allowance for loan loss reserve to account for its strong loan growth in 2023. Overhead expenses increased by $1.1 million during 2023 with employee compensation and benefits higher by $650,000 as compared to 2022.
Total Assets increased $53.2 million to $498.7 million at December 31, 2023 compared to $445.5 million at December 31, 2022. This increase was primarily due to net loans increasing $49.9 million, or 15.6% in 2023, to $370.7 million as of December 31, 2023 compared to $320.8 million as of December 31, 2022. Total deposits increased $34.3 million, or 9.3% in 2023, to $401.1 million at December 31, 2023 compared to $366.8 million at December 31, 2022. Stockholder's equity increased $3.3 million to $46.4 million at December 31, 2023 compared to $43.1 million at December 31, 2022. Contributing to this increase was a $1.5 million improvement in the bank's net unrealized loss position in the investment portfolio. The book value of NIDB's stock was $19.15 per common share and the tangible common equity ratio was 9.31% as of December 31, 2023.
In the current year, Northeast Indiana Bancorp and First Federal Savings Bank have been recognized for its performance. First Federal Savings Bank was named to American Banker Magazine's Top 200 Community Banks for the 12th consecutive year for 2022.

FFSB came in at #59 on this year's list of the top 200 publicly traded community banks. This is a 3-spot improvement from #62 in 2021. The magazine ranked the institutions based on the profitability metric, Return on Average Equity, over a 3-year period. Only 11 banks from the state of Indiana made this elite list and First Federal Savings Bank ranked 3rd in the State.
