President and Chief Executive Officer's Comments
Carlos P. Naudon, Ponce Financial Group, Inc.'s President and CEO, stated "We continued executing well our strategy of focusing on net interest margin, operating expenses and fee income, which translated into several positive trends this quarter. Our net interest margin this quarter increased by 18 basis points, reflecting both our high-yielding construction loans and our decreasing borrowing costs. In fact, our loan yields rose by 9 basis points while our cost of funds decreased by 10 basis points. Our operating expenses have decreased quarter over quarter, and our non-interest income compares favorably to prior periods. All-in-all, a very good quarter in these turbulent and uncertain times."
Executive Chairman's Comment
Steven A. Tsavaris, Ponce Financial Group's Executive Chairman added "Most of our high-yielding construction lending has an additional benefit - it qualifies as Deep Impact lending under the U.S. Treasury's Emergency Capital Investment Program and serves to lower the dividends payable on our preferred stock to the U.S. Treasury. Importantly, our construction initiatives also reflect our conservative underwriting, high developer equity requirements and short duration. Of our 64 on-going projects, more than 43 percent already have at least a temporary certificate of occupancy and 80 percent are at least halfway through construction."
