CF BANKSHARES INC. ANNOUNCES RECORD NET INCOME FOR 2ND QUARTER, WITH FIRST HALF 2020 NET INCOME SURPASSING FULL YEAR 2019 NET INCOME RESULTS.



Columbus, Ohio –  July 28, 2020  – CF Bankshares Inc. (formerly known as Central Federal Corporation) (NASDAQ: CFBK) (the “Company”), the parent of CFBank, today announced financial results for the second quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2020.



Second Quarter 2020 Highlights

·

Net income of $10.1 million, an increase of 342% when compared to the same quarter of 2019.

·

Pre-Provision, Pre-Tax Net Revenue (“PPNR”) of $15.8 million compared to $2.9 million in Q2 2019, which represents a 453% increase.

·

Return of average assets (ROA) was 3.70% for the quarter and PPNR return on average assets was 5.81%. 

·

Return on average equity (ROE) for the quarter was 47.0% compared to 18.8% for the same quarter of 2019.

·

Total assets topped $1 Billion as of June 30, 2020.

·

Book value per common share increased to $14.14 at June 30, 2020, which represents a $1.29 per share increase during the second quarter.

·

Noninterest-bearing deposit balances increased 42% during the 2nd quarter.

·

Funded $126.2 million of Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) Loans to 558 borrowers.





Timothy T. O’Dell, President and CEO, commented, “We are extremely pleased with our record Q2 net income of $10.1 million, up 342% over Q2 2019.  During the first six months of this year, we have surpassed our full year net income for 2019.  For the second quarter, we achieved ROA of 3.7% coupled with ROE of 47%.  Our record earnings also reflected increased provisioning, with over $3 million added to ALLL during Q2 (43% increase to ALLL).

“Our Q2 highlights also included our total assets topping $1 billion and book value surpassing $14/share.  During the second quarter, we also achieved noninterest income of nearly $20 million, driven mostly through successful expansion of our national mortgage lending business.

“You might recall, we went somewhat against the prevailing grain/consensus earlier when we invested in expanding our mortgage lending business. However, based upon earlier mortgage lending industry experience, and our commitment to expanding Noninterest Income, we concluded that having a strong mortgage lending business coupled with our Commercial Banking businesses would provide business balance and diversification along with providing for increased customer


 

 

acquisition and greater cross-selling opportunities.  We believe the result of quality customer acquisition drives increased franchise value.

“Among our key initiatives for the second half of 2020, we will be looking to capitalize on cross-selling to new Commercial and Consumer banking customers.  Our successes with the PPP lending program opened doors to relationships with new to CFBank businesses, resulting in new commercial, deposit and cash management business.  Given the expected continuation of the current low interest rate environment, we remain optimistic about the outlook for our mortgage lending business.

“During the second half of 2020, we feel we are well positioned to continue capitalizing on our strong first half momentum, by investing in growing our core lines of businesses. Also, we are focused on increasing our market presence in those regional metro markets that we serve along with expanding our deposit gathering franchise.  The impact of COVID-19 on our borrowers and credit quality, remains unclear.  Our credit quality at June 30, 2020 remained strong, and our loan deferrals are modest at approximately 12% of outstanding loan balances at June 30, 2020.  We anticipate gaining greater clarity as we move forward in Q3 and Q4.  During Q2 we increased our ALLL by roughly 43%, while producing record earnings.  We will continue to monitor and adjust as we gain additional insights and experience.

Onward & Upward!

Robert E. Hoeweler, Chairman of the Board, added: “In late 2012 our group of investors provided funds and management to recapitalize the Company and CFBank. The assets of CFBank had decreased to approximately $230 million at the time of the recapitalization. Since then, we have increased CFBank’s assets over four fold to $1.15 billion assets in just under 8 years. Our team has achieved this growth through very difficult economic times. Our growth was accomplished with a firm commitment to attracting top performing customers and strong credit quality.  We have built a banking team of which we are very proud. I would like to give thanks to Tim O’Dell for his clear vision and leadership for these past 8 years, thanks to my fellow directors for their support of management, and thanks to our employees for their dedication, long hours, and hard work. We are proud of reaching over a billion in assets but we are just getting started.”

Deposits.  Deposits totaled $849.0 million at June 30, 2020, an increase of $102.7 million, or 13.8%, from $746.3 million at December 31, 2019.      The increase is due to a $70.0 million increase in interest-bearing deposit accounts and a $32.7 million increase in noninterest-bearing account balances.  Interest-bearing deposit accounts increased to $700.8 million at June 30, 2020, from $630.8 million at December 31, 2019.  The increase in interest-bearing accounts is primarily attributed to a $36.2 million increase in certificate of deposit account balances,  a $16.9 million increase in money market account balances, and a $14.7 million increase in interest-bearing checking account balances.  The increase in certificate of deposit account balances was due to increases in retail and listing service certificates of deposits, partially offset by a decrease in brokered certificates of deposit.  The increases in retail certificate of deposits and money market account balances were primarily due to increases in customer relationships and balances from on-going sales and marketing activities. The increase in interest-bearing checking is primarily related to the balances in the Insured Cash Sweep (ICS) programs offered through Promontory Interfinancial Network.  The increase in noninterest bearing checking account balances was primarily driven by PPP loan proceeds being deposited into customers’ accounts.

Stockholders’ equity. Stockholders’ equity totaled $92.6 million at June 30, 2020, an increase of $11.9 million, or 14.8%, from $80.7 million at December 31, 2019.  The increase in total stockholders’ equity was primarily attributed to  net income.
