SSB Bancorp, Inc Reports Unaudited Consolidated Financial Results For the Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

PITTSBURGH, PA / ACCESSWIRE / August 11, 2022 / SSB Bancorp, Inc (OTC PINK:SSBP) (the "Company"), the holding company for SSB Bank (the "Bank"), today announced the Company's unaudited, consolidated results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Total assets increased $4.7 million to $239.7 million at June 30, 2022, from $234.9 million at December 31, 2021. The increase in assets was due to an increase in deposits of $8.9 million. Net loans decreased over the same period by $1.8 million due to early payoffs of Paycheck Protection Program loans totaling $7.2 million.

Net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was $617,000 or $0.29 per basic and diluted share, compared to net earnings of $378,000 or $0.17 per basic and diluted share for the comparable six months of the prior year.

Total interest and fee income increased by $387,000, or 9.1%, when comparing the results of the six months ended June 30, 2022, with the six months ended June 30, 2021. This is due to the increase in average interest-earning assets from $217.8 million to $222.7 million as well as the increase in yield from 3.92% to 4.18% when comparing the two periods.

Interest expense decreased $224,000, or 17.2%, to $1.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, from $1.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in interest expense is due to the decrease in interest expense on certificates of deposit, a decrease of $233,000. Additionally, the cost of borrowings decreased by $80,000 due to the decrease in average borrowings of $8.8 million when comparing the two periods.

Noninterest income has dropped by $84,000, or 22.4% to $539,000 from $735,000 when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2022, with the six months ended June 30, 2021. With the rise in market interest rates, mortgage loan production has decreased, and has resulted in a decrease in gain on sale of loans of $338,000 when comparing the two periods. Offsetting this decrease is the increase in payment processing sponsorship fees of $124,000 when comparing the two periods.

Noninterest expense increased by $106,000 or 3.4% to $3.2 million. This was mainly due to increases in occupancy, professional fees, and marketing when comparing the six months ended June 20, 2022 with the six months ended June 30, 2021.
