Blue Foundry Bancorp

RUTHERFORD, N.J., April 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Blue Foundry Bancorp (NASDAQ:BLFY) (the “Company”), the holding company for Blue Foundry Bank (the “Bank”), today reported a net loss of $2.8 million, or $0.13 per diluted common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to net loss of $2.9 million, or $0.13 per diluted common share, for the three months ended December 31, 2023, and a net loss of $1.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

James D. Nesci, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The first quarter was highlighted by significant deposit growth generated through the efforts of our staff. This growth was a catalyst for the margin expansion realized during the quarter. Our asset quality remains strong and our exposure to the more concerning lending markets is minimal.”

Mr. Nesci continued, “As we are committed to being good stewards of capital, we were pleased to announce our fourth repurchase program in the first quarter. During the quarter, we repurchased more than 532 thousand shares and increased our tangible book value per share to $14.60.”

Highlights for the first quarter of 2024:

• Release of provision for credit losses of $535 thousand due to the impact of the change in forecast on the loan portfolio, coupled with a decline in portfolio balances and unused lines of credit

• Deposits increased $46.3 million, or 3.7% compared to the prior quarter.

• Uninsured deposits to third-party customers totaled approximately 10% of total deposits as of March 31, 2024.

• Interest income for the quarter was $20.8 million, an increase of $507 thousand, or 2.5%, compared to the prior quarter.

• Interest expense for the quarter was $11.4 million, an increase of $286 thousand, or 2.6%, compared to the prior quarter.

• Net interest margin increased eight basis points from the prior quarter to 1.92%.

• Book value per share was $14.61 and tangible book value per share was $14.60. See the “Supplemental Information - Non-GAAP Financial Measures” tables below for additional information regarding our non-GAAP measures.

• 532,052 shares were repurchased under our share repurchase plans at a weighted average share price of $9.49 per share.

Retail Banking Franchise

As of March 31, 2024, deposits totaled $1.29 billion, an increase of $46.3 million, or 3.72%, from December 31, 2023, mostly due to the increase of $45.7 million in time deposits. The Company’s strategy is to focus on attracting the full banking relationship of small- to medium-sized businesses through an extensive suite of deposit products. While there is strong competition for deposits in the northern New Jersey market, we were able to increase retail deposits during the quarter. Brokered deposits were flat for the quarter.

• Net interest income was $9.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $9.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 as an increase in interest received on interest-earning assets outpaced the increase in interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities.

BLUE FOUNDRY BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY Supplemental Information - Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)

This press release contains certain supplemental financial information, described in the table below, which has been determined by methods other than U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") that management uses in its analysis of Blue Foundry's performance. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding Blue Foundry's financial results. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures and results and Blue Foundry strongly encourages investors to review its consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names.

Net income, as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, includes the provision for credit losses and income tax expense, while pre-provision net revenue does not.
