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 $1,111,000, or $3.87 per common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to net income of $1,164,000 or $4.06 per common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company reported net income of $1,948,000, or $6.79 per share, compared to $2,119,000, or $7.40 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company was an active participant in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) lending during 2020 and the first half of 2021. Average PPP loan balances were $80 million during the second quarter of 2021 compared with $8 million during the second quarter of 2022 resulting in a year-over-year reduction in second quarter PPP-related income of $476,000. This impact was largely offset by a $298,000 recovery of provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2022 as a result of continued improvement of borrowers in industries most affected by the pandemic.

Total assets increased year-over-year to $676,574,000 on June 30, 2022 compared to $652,729,000 on June 30, 2021. Total loans of $398,680,000 on June 30, 2022 decreased by $7.8 million during the quarter and have decreased from $465,630,000 the year before. Total deposits increased during the quarter by $10.8 million to $602,770,000 on June 30, 2022 and have increased from $571,755,000 the year before. December 31, 2021 deposits included a year-end client deposit of $55 million which was transferred out in January 2022. Organic loan growth in the first half of 2022 was $23 million and was largely offset by PPP loan forgiveness received during the first half of 2022. The remaining combined outstanding balance of PPP loans was $2 million on June 30, 2022, compared with a balance of $23 million and $65 million on December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. The Company’s net interest margin recovered to 3.06% during the second quarter of 2022 compared to 2.83% in the first quarter of 2022 but is down compared to 3.33% in second quarter of 2021. Much like the banking industry as a whole, the Bank is carrying a higher proportion of earning assets in lower yielding securities as loan demand has not kept pace with deposit growth. Additionally, lower PPP fee accretion during the second quarter of 2022 has negatively impacted the net interest margin in comparison to the second quarter of 2021.

Total shareholders’ equity decreased to $48,046,000 on June 30, 2022 from $54,256,000 a year ago due to the change in market valuation of the investment portfolio in a rising rate environment, and partially offset by retained earnings for the past twelve months. In order to partially mitigate the impact of higher interest rates on the valuation of the investment portfolio, the Bank transferred approximately $80 million of securities during the first quarter of 2022 to a held-to-maturity category which is valued at amortized cost rather than at fair market value. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 the return on average assets and return on average equity was 0.57% and 7.65%, respectively.

Richard B. (Randy) Anderson, Jr. President and Chief Executive Officer said, “While challenges remain ahead, we were generally pleased with our ability to minimize the impact of rapidly rising interest rates and the mix of earning assets on our net interest margin and earnings during the second quarter of 2022.” Anderson continued “However, the big news during the quarter were the additions to the Bank’s executive management, lending and business process teams positioning the Bank for its next chapter of growth and earnings. In April James (Jimmy) Olevson joined NCB as President bringing significant experience as a senior banking executive in the Metro DC market. He was followed shortly thereafter by Brad Duncan Senior Vice President, Construction Lending Director, Sean Biehl Vice President, Commercial Lending and Matt Santmyer Senior Vice President, Strategic Projects Director. Each of these individuals fills a key role in our strategic plan and brings the needed skills and energy to their positions.”

The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a dividend of $0.60 per share for shareholders of record as of August 16, 2022. The dividend payout of $172,439.40 on 287,399 shares is payable August 30, 2022.
