Taylor Bank (the "Bank"), today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023. Highlights of the Company's financial results are noted below.

  • Net income for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $13.5 million which is a 14.6% increase compared to the previous year.

  • Return on Average Assets increased to 1.52% for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to 1.27% for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 19.3%.

  • Return on Average Equity increased to 13.91% for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to 11.55% in the prior year, an increase of 20.5%.

  • Net interest margin was 3.59% in the fourth quarter of 2023, as compared to 3.44% in the fourth quarter of 2022 and 3.64% in the previous quarter.

  • Organic loan growth continued in 2023 with loans growing $62.5 million, or 12.2%, since December 31, 2022.

  • Following several years of significant growth, deposits decreased by $65.8 million or 8.1% since December 31, 2022, as significant increases in short term interest rates have encourage certain depositors to invest excess cash into short term government bonds.

  • On-balance sheet liquidity, as measured by cash and unencumbered available for sale debt securities, remains strong as of December 31, 2023 and equaled 24.2% of total deposits.

  • Noncore funding sources including Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, brokered deposits, and the recently created Federal Reserve Bank Term Funding Program were not utilized in the year ended December 31, 2023.

President and Chief Executive Officer Raymond M. Thompson commented, "Net income increased to $13.5 million in 2023 as compared to $11.8 million in 2022. Loan growth accompanied with higher yields on investment securities resulted in a $4.0 million or 15.2% increase in net interest income. The combined effect of the increase in net income and the decrease in total assets increased Return on Average Assets (ROAA) to 1.52% in 2023, as compared to 1.27% in 2022, and ranked 5th highest among the 24 banks and thrifts headquartered in Maryland in 2023, regardless of asset size. The Company's financial condition remained strong in 2023. Total assets were $853.0 million at December 31, 2023, which was a decrease of $53.0 million as compared to December 31, 2022. The decrease in total assets was directly attributable to a decrease in deposits, which decreased $65.8 million as compared to the prior year. After several years of significant deposit growth, the outflow of deposits was anticipated due to elevated short-term interest rates. While the bank remains highly liquid, deposit outflow reports revealed that rate sensitive deposits moved primarily into short-term bond investments. Despite continued deposit outflow, on-balance sheet liquidity was 24.2% as of December 31, 2023 and the Bank continued to have no need to access other non-core funding sources to meet loan demand and other obligations. We continue to remain highly liquid and well-capitalized, and very well-positioned to meet the loan and deposit needs of our loyal existing, and prospective customers."
