USCB Financial Holdings, Inc. Reports Diluted EPS of $0.19 for Q3 2023

October 26, 2023

MIAMI, Oct. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  USCB Financial Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: USCB), the holding company for U.S. Century Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income of $3.8 million or $0.19 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared with net income of $5.6 million or $0.28 per diluted share, for the same period in 2022.

“As we deliver our third quarter earnings, I am pleased to highlight the rebound in loan growth, following earlier concerns this year about the safety and soundness of the banking industry,” said Luis de la Aguilera, Chairman, President and CEO. “We are encouraged by the continued diversification of our loan growth, particularly the 59% in new non-CRE loans for the quarter,” reported de la Aguilera. “Our commitment to enhancing Net Interest Margin (NIM) is evident in the 8.00% weighted average coupon for the quarter on new loans, exceeding our portfolio average,” he said. “Furthermore, we took the opportunity to restructure our bank-owned life insurance, which bolstered BOLI revenue by $982 thousand this quarter, and we offset this one-time, non-recurring gain with a comparable size securities loss. This small portfolio restructuring will allow us to optimize our investment portfolio by transitioning from lower-yielding securities to higher-return investments,” said de la Aguilera. “Despite a decrease in NIM early in the third quarter, September’s NIM increased to 2.70% which reflects the resilience and adaptive spirit of our bank in fortifying our financial performance," said de la Aguilera.

Unless otherwise stated, all percentage comparisons in the bullet points below are calculated for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2022 and annualized where appropriate.
