- Total quarterly revenue (net interest income + non-interest income) rose sequentially to ~$12.15M from ~$10.91M in Q2 but fell year over year from ~$14.62M in Q3 2021, reflecting mortgage banking weakness and PPP fee runoff .

Earnings Call Themes & Trends
Note: No Q3 2022 earnings call transcript was available; themes reflect quarterly report and press release commentary.
Management Commentary
- “As the result of record inflation, rapidly rising interest rates, and recession fears, the banking industry and our overall economy continues to face significant headwinds.”
- “The rapid increase in interest rates has created a $46.3 million unrealized loss position on available-for-sale securities, net of tax, which has contributed to the decrease in your Company’s tangible book value by $13.67 per share since December 31, 2021.”
- “Based on the Company’s current liquidity position, I believe it is very unlikely that those losses will be realized. As such, we remain focused on continuing to add value to our shareholders through core revenue growth, strong asset quality, and consistent dividends.” — Brian D. Young, CEO
- “The third quarter results include a $797,000, or $0.24 basic earnings per share, increase in non-interest income due to a BOLI death benefit payment.”
Q&A Highlights
- No earnings call transcript was found for Q3 2022; analysis reflects press release and quarterly shareholder report disclosures .
Estimates Context
- Wall Street consensus (S&P Global) for Q3 2022 EPS and revenue was unavailable at time of request, preventing beat/miss assessment versus estimates.
- Given limited sell-side coverage and tool access limits, we cannot compare reported EPS $0.94 and “total revenue” (constructed) to consensus for Q3 2022 .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Sequential recovery: EPS rose to $0.94 and net income to $3.09M; total revenue improved to ~$12.15M from ~$10.91M in Q2, suggesting core stabilization amid rate tailwinds .
- Non-core boost: A $797k BOLI benefit added ~$0.24 to EPS; investors should adjust for non-recurring items when assessing trend durability .
- Mortgage headwinds remain the core drag: loans sold and gain-on-sale metrics declined sharply year over year, constraining non-interest income leverage .
- Margin tailwind: tax-equivalent NIM improved to 3.65% on a nine-month annualized basis, supported by higher portfolio rates; monitor deposit costs to gauge forward NII trajectory .
- Capital optics: TBV per share fell to $13.83 with a $46.3M unrealized AFS loss (net of tax); while management expects losses unlikely to be realized, mark-to-market optics can weigh on valuation multiples and stock sentiment .
- Balance growth cadence: loans gross reached $637.4M and deposits totaled $960.8M; steady core growth offsets macro softness in mortgage .
- Shareholder returns consistent: $0.21 dividend declared payable Dec 15, 2022; maintenance of dividend signals confidence in core earnings and liquidity .
