Summary
Sound Financial Bancorp reported a strong second quarter with net income of $2.5 million ($0.98 per diluted share), up 60% from the prior quarter and 23% year-over-year. The improvement was driven by net interest margin expansion to 3.73% from 3.51% in Q1, aided by higher loan yields and lower deposit costs.
Management noted a large prepayment penalty on a commercial loan contributed to the margin gain, a non-recurring item. The board declared a $0.21 per share quarterly dividend payable August 21 to shareholders of record August 7.
The bank actively managed its balance sheet during the quarter, repaying $10 million in FHLB advances originally due January 2028, reducing higher-cost reciprocal deposits, and shrinking total assets by $46.3 million to $1.07 billion. Loans-to-deposits improved to 96.0% from 95.4% in Q1. Credit quality showed some deterioration: nonperforming loans rose to $8.1 million (0.90% of total loans) from $7.4 million in Q1 and $3.4 million a year ago, with commercial and multifamily loans representing 52% of the nonperforming total. The allowance for credit losses covers 104.53% of nonperforming loans, down from 117.02% in Q1, though the bank released $223,000 in provisions due to loan portfolio contraction.
