Income Statement Summary
Net interest income before the provision for credit losses increased $204,000, or 2.2%, to $9.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $9.1 million in the third quarter of 2023, and decreased $1.2 million, or 11.3%, from $10.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase from the third quarter of 2023 primarily was due to a 25 basis point increase in the average yield earned on interest earning assets; in particular, the average yield on loans and leases receivable and cash and cash equivalents increased 22 basis points and 78 basis points, respectively. Additionally, a $25.2 million growth in the average balance of interest-earning assets contributed to the overall improvement. These increases were partially offset by a 25 basis point increase in the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities and a $31.4 million increase in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities. The decrease from the comparable quarter in 2022 was due to an 88 basis point decrease in the average interest rate spread, partially offset by a $133.8 million increase in average interest earning assets. Since March 2022, in response to inflation, the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") of the Federal Reserve System has increased the target range for the federal funds rate by 500 basis points, including 25 basis points during the third quarter of 2023, to a range of 5.25% to 5.50%. While net interest income benefited from the repricing impact of the higher interest rate environment on earning asset yields, the benefits were offset by the higher cost of interest-bearing deposit accounts and borrowings, which tend to be shorter in duration than our assets and re-price or reset faster than assets.
Interest income increased $1.2 million, or 6.7%, to $18.6 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2023, and increased $4.3 million, or 30.0%, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2022 .
Interest income on loans and leases increased $961,000, or 6.3%, to $16.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to $15.3 million in the third quarter of 2023, due to a $24.9 million increase in the average balance of loans and leases, and an increase of 22 basis points to 5.93% in the average yield earned on loans and leases. Interest income on loans and leases increased $3.9 million, or 31.5%, in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, due to an increase in the average balance of loans and leases of $138.0 million, and an increase of 77 basis points in the average yield earned on loans and leases.
Interest income on investment securities, excluding FHLB stock, decreased $8,000, or 0.4%, to $1.8 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2023, and increased $34,000, or 1.9%, from the comparable quarter in 2022. The decrease in interest income on investment securities, excluding FHLB stock, from the third quarter of 2023 was due to a $13.5 million decrease in the average balance of investment securities, partially offset by a 12 basis point increase in the average yield earned on those securities. The increase in interest on investment securities, excluding FHLB stock, from the fourth quarter of 2022 was due to a 22 basis point increase in the average yield earned on investment securities, partially offset by an $18.1 million decrease in average balance of those securities. Dividends on FHLB stock increased $56,000, or 23.4%, during the quarter ended December 31, 2023 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2023, and increased $178,000, or 152.1%, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2022 . Interest income on cash and cash equivalents increased $158,000, or 155.1%, during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2023, and increased $182,000, or 233.0%, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The increase in interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the third quarter of 2023 was due to an increase of $11.8 million in the average balance, along with a 78 basis point increase in the average yield. The increase in interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the fourth quarter of 2022 was due to a 163 basis point increase in the average yield and a $12.0 million increase in the average balance of cash and cash equivalents.
Interest expense increased $964,000, or 11.6%, to $9.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2023, and increased $5.5 million, or 145.1%, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2022 . Interest expense on deposits increased $603,000, or 9.6%, to $6.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to the previous quarter and increased $4.1 million, or 146.7%, from the comparable quarter in 2022. The increase in interest expense on deposits from the previous quarter was primarily due to a 24 basis points increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits. The increase from the comparable quarter in 2022 was due to an increase of $65.1 million in average balance of, and a 165 basis point increase in the average rate paid on, interest-bearing deposits. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was 2.93% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to 2.69% and 1.28% for the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Interest expense on FHLB borrowings increased $361,000, or 18.3%, to $2.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the previous quarter and increased $1.4 million, or 140.5%, from the comparable quarter in 2022, primarily due to increases in the average rate paid on FHLB borrowings and the average balance of outstanding borrowings. The average balance of FHLB borrowings totaled $251.0 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to $224.8 million and $183.5 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The average rate paid on FHLB borrowings was 3.71% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, 3.50% for September 30, 2023 and 2.11% for the fourth quarter of 2022.
Annualized net interest margin was 2.67% for the fourth quarter of 2023, relatively unchanged compared to 2.66% for the third quarter of 2023 and down from 3.33% for the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease in the net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the comparable quarter in 2022 was primarily due to the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increasing faster than the yield on interest-earning assets.
The provision for credit losses totaled $304,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $50,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 and no provision for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 . The increase in the provision for credit losses primarily was due to loan growth. Net charge-offs during the fourth quarter of 2023 were $241,000, compared to net charge-offs of $299,000 during the third quarter of 2023 and net charge-offs of $143,000 in the fourth quarter of 2022. Uncertainties relating to the level of our allowance for credit losses remains heightened as a result of continued concern about a potential recession due to inflation, higher interest rates, stock market volatility, and overall geopolitical tensions.
Noninterest income increased $22,000, or 1.9%, to $1.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2023, and decreased $212,000, or 15.3%, from the comparable quarter in 2022. The increase compared to the third quarter of 2023 primarily resulted from increases in card fee income and net gains on loan and lease sales, partially offset by a decrease in other income. Card fee income increased $50,000, or 16.6%, to $354,000 in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the previous quarter due to the renegotiation of terms with our credit card provider, and increased account activity during the holiday season. Net gains on loan and lease sales increased $29,000, or 32.7%, to $119,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 compared to the previous quarter due to a slight increase in mortgage banking activity during the quarter. Other income decreased $62,000, or 16.5%, to $315,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 compared to the prior quarter due to expenses associated with our captive insurance company. The decrease from the comparable quarter in 2022 was primarily due to decreases in loan and lease servicing fees, partially offset by increases in net gains on loan and lease sales and other income. Loan and lease servicing fees decreased $313,000, or 74.6%, to $107,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 as compared to the comparable quarter in 2022 due to a recovery of $302,000 of mortgage servicing rights recorded in the fourth quarter of 2022 due to rising interest rates and not replicated in the current quarter. Net gains on loan and lease sales increased $60,000, or 103.5%, during the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 due to a slight increase in mortgage banking activity. Other income increased $41,000, or 14.8%, for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the same quarter in 2022 primarily due to fees earned from our participation in a loan hedging program with a correspondent bank. Service fees on deposit accounts decreased $23,000, or 7.6%, in the fourth quarter of 2023 from the comparable quarter in 2022. Card fee income increased $23,000, or 6.8%, in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the comparable quarter in 2022.
Total noninterest expense increased $17,000, or 0.2%, to $8.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to the third quarter of 2023, and increased $87,000, or 1.1%, compared to the same period in 2022. Salaries and employee benefits increased $170,000, or 3.9%, to $4.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to the third quarter of 2023, and decreased $254,000, or 5.3%, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2022 . The increase in salaries and benefits from the third quarter of 2023 was primarily due to increased bonus expense, while the decrease in salaries and benefits compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 was primarily due to decreased bonus expense. Deposit insurance expense increased $243,000, or 86.8%, for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to the third quarter of 2023, and increased $277,000, or 112.6%, from the comparable quarter in 2022, primarily due to a change in our asset and deposit mix, as well as an increase in the initial base deposit insurance assessment rate during 2023. Equipment expenses decreased $20,000 or 7.4%, during the fourth quarter of 2023 as compared to the prior quarter, and decreased $62,000, or 19.6%, compared to the comparable quarter in 2022. Data processing fees decreased $17,000, or 2.0%, to $836,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2023, and increased $94,000, or 12.6%, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2022 . The increase in data processing fees from the fourth quarter of 2022 was primarily due to increased software and online services expenses. Legal and professional fees decreased $125,000, or 23.7%, in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the prior quarter, and increased $42,000, or 11.7%, from the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease in legal and professional fees from the prior quarter was due to decreases in other professional services expenses. Other expenses decreased $256,000, or 22.2%, in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the prior quarter, and increased $85,000, or 10.5%, compared to the same quarter of 2022. The decrease in other expenses from the third quarter of 2023 primarily was due to decreases in losses due to fraud in the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase in other expenses from the comparable quarter in 2022 was primarily due to increased franchise tax expenses and loan tax and insurance expenses in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Income tax expense decreased $39,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2023, and decreased $433,000 compared to the same quarter in 2022. The decrease in income tax expense from the prior quarter primarily was due to a lower effective tax rate, while the decrease from the same quarter in 2022 was due to both a lower level of pre-tax income and a lower effective tax rate. The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 10.8% compared to 12.3% in the third quarter of 2023, and 16.8% in the fourth quarter a year ago. The decrease in the effective tax rate was a result of the use of a captive insurance company, which allows the Company to assume more control over insurance risks and resulted in a more tax-effective structure.
Balance Sheet Summary
Total assets increased $134.0 million, or 10.1%, to $1.5 billion at December 31, 2023 from December 31, 2022 . The increase was primarily the result of a $129.4 million, or 13.5%, increase in loans and leases, net of allowance for credit losses, to $1.1 billion at December 31, 2023, partially offset by a decrease of $3.9 million, or 1.3%, in investment securities to $287.6 million at December 31, 2023 .
The increase in loans and leases was attributable to an increase in commercial real estate loans, direct financing leases and construction and development loans of $43.5 million, $23.1 million and $17.9 million, respectively. Investment securities decreased primarily due to maturities and principal repayments on investment securities exceeding purchases of new securities.
Nonperforming loans and leases, consisting of nonaccrual loans and leases and accruing loans and leases more than 90 days past due, totaled $8.0 million, or 0.72% of total loans and leases, at December 31, 2023, compared to $9.2 million, or 0.94%, at December 31, 2022 . Accruing loans past due more than 90 days totaled $1.7 million at December 31, 2023, compared to $3.2 million at December 31, 2022 .
On January 1, 2023, the Bank adopted the accounting standard referred to as the current expected credit loss, or CECL. As a result of the change in methodology from the incurred loss method to the CECL method, on January 1, 2023 the Company recorded a one-time adjustment from equity into the allowance for credit losses in the amount of $3.8 million, net of tax. The allowance for credit losses totaled $15.7 million, or 1.42% of total loans and leases outstanding at December 31, 2023 . At December 31, 2022, the allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $12.4 million, or 1.27% of total loans and leases outstanding. Additionally, as a part of the CECL adoption, the Bank established an allowance for off-balance sheet commitments. This allowance, which is reported in other liabilities, totaled $1.6 million at December 31, 2023 . Net charge-offs during 2023 were $678,000 compared to net charge-offs of $295,000 during 2022.
Management regularly analyzes conditions within its geographic markets and evaluates its loan and lease portfolio. The Company evaluated its exposure to potential credit losses as of December 31, 2023, which evaluation included consideration of a potential recession due to inflation, higher interest rates, stock market volatility, and overall geopolitical tensions. Credit metrics are reviewed and stress testing is performed on the loan portfolio on an ongoing basis.
Total deposits increased $36.9 million, or 3.7%, to $1.0 billion at December 31, 2023, compared to December 31, 2022, primarily due to an increase in non-brokered time deposits of $46.4 million and brokered time deposits of $10.9 million, partially offset by a $23.9 million decrease in savings and money market accounts and a $4.6 million decrease in interest-bearing demand accounts. Management attributes the shift in funds to customers taking advantage of higher rates being paid on time deposits in 2023 as a result of interest rate hikes enacted by the Federal Reserve. Brokered time deposits totaled $268.8 million, or 25.8% of total deposits, at December 31, 2023 . Noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $8.0 million to $114.4 million at December 31, 2023 compared to $106.4 million at December 31, 2022, and totaled 11.0% of total deposits at December 31, 2023 .
As of December 31, 2023, approximately $216.0 million of our deposit portfolio, or 20.7% of total deposits, excluding collateralized public deposits, was uninsured. The uninsured amounts are estimated based on the methodologies and assumptions used for First Bank Richmond's regulatory reporting requirements.
Stockholders' equity totaled $134.9 million at December 31, 2023, an increase of $2.5 million, or 1.9%, from December 31, 2022 . The increase in stockholders' equity primarily was the result of net income of $9.5 million and a decrease in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss ("AOCL") of $6.7 million, partially offset by the payment of $5.9 million in dividends to Company stockholders, the repurchase of $6.3 million of Company common stock, and the one-time adjustment to retained earnings of $3.8 million for the adoption of CECL during the first quarter. The decrease in AOCL is primarily due to the improvement in mark-to-market values associated with our available-for-sale investment securities portfolio. At December 31, 2023, the available for sale portfolio had a net unrealized loss of $54.5 million compared to a net unrealized loss of $63.0 million at December 31, 2022 . The AOCL impact to equity, after tax effecting the unrealized loss, was $43.0 million at December 31, 2023, compared to $49.8 million at December 31, 2022 .
During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, the Company repurchased a total of 91,575 shares of Company common stock at an average price of $10.66 per share. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately 868,036 shares available for repurchase under its existing stock repurchase program. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company repurchased an additional 16,818 shares.
