WAUWATOSA, Wis., Oct. 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Waterstone Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: WSBF), holding company for WaterStone Bank, reported net income of $3.3 million, or $0.16 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to $5.3 million, or $0.25 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. Net income per diluted share was $0.46 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to net income per diluted share of $0.83 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
“We continue to navigate the challenges that have resulted from a rapid rise in interest rates and an inverted yield curve,” said Douglas Gordon, Chief Executive Officer of Waterstone Financial, Inc. “The Community Banking Segment continues to maintain strong asset quality metrics and we achieved growth in both loans held for investment and deposits during the quarter. The Mortgage Banking segment results continue to be negatively impacted by a challenging industry as inventory, housing affordability, and escalating interest rates have slowed mortgage origination volumes and compressed margins. We continue to try and find efficiencies in this environment. During the quarter, we were pleased to return $9.6 million back to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends declared.”

The increase was primarily due to increases in the single-family and multi-family mortgages. Average loans held for investment increased $40.3 million compared to $1.59 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the single-family, multi-family, construction, and commercial real estate mortgages.
- Net interest margin decreased 108 basis points to 2.26% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to 3.34% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, which was a result of an increase in weighted average cost of deposits and borrowings as the federal funds rate increases resulted in increased funding rates.
