WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, NJ, January 19, 2022 - Parke Bancorp, Inc. ("Parke Bancorp" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: "PKBK"), the parent company of Parke Bank, announced its operating results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2021.
Highlights for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2021:
•Net income available to common shareholders was $10.1 million, or $0.85 per basic common share and $0.83 per diluted common share, for the three months ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $1.9 million, or 23.9%, compared to net income available to common shareholders of $8.1 million, or $0.69per basic common share and $0.68 per diluted common share, for the same quarter in 2020. The increase is primarily driven by reduced loan loss provision and higher non-interest income, partially offset by lower net interest income.
•Net interest income decreased 2.2% to $16.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to $17.1 million for the same period in 2020.
•Net income available to common shareholders was $40.7 million, or $3.43 per basic common share and $3.36 per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $12.3 million, or 43.4%, compared to net income available to common shareholders of $28.4 million, or $2.40 per basic common share and $2.37 per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase is primarily driven by an increase in net interest income, reduced loan loss provision, and higher non-interest income, partially offset by higher non-interest expense.
•Net interest income increased 10.3% to $69.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $62.6 million for the same period in 2020.
•Non-interest income increased $4.6 million, or 110.3%, to $8.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $4.2 million for the same period in 2020.
The following is a recap of the significant items that impacted the fourth quarter and the year ended December 31, 2021:
Interest income decreased $2.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to a decrease in interest and fees on loans attributed to lower loan portfolio balances. For the year ended December 31, 2021, interest income decreased $2.5 million from the same period in 2020, primarily driven by a decrease in interest and fees on loans attributed to lower loan portfolio balances, and the impact of lower interest rates on average deposits held in the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB"). The Federal Reserve Board reduced interest rates in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Interest expense decreased $1.7 million and $8.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020, primarily due to lower interest rates on deposits.
The provision for loan losses decreased $1.9 million and $7.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to the same periods in 2020. The decrease in the provision was primarily due to the increase in qualitative factors made in 2020 as a result of economic uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
For the fourth quarter of 2021, non-interest income increased $0.7 million, compared to the same period in 2020. For the year ended December 31, 2021, non-interest income increased $4.6 million compared to the same period in 2020. The increases were primarily attributable to an increase in service fees from deposit accounts related to our cannabis related businesses (CRB).
Non-interest expense decreased $0.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2021, and increased $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to the same periods in 2020. The increase in non-interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2021, is primarily due to an increase in professional fees related to our Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) remediation efforts, and various other expense categories as a result of the growth of the Company.
Income tax expense increased $0.5 million for the fourth quarter 2021 and $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020. The effective tax rates for the fourth quarter of 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2021 were 25.0% and 25.4%, respectively, compared to 25.7% for the same periods in 2020.

•Total assets increased to $2.14 billion at December 31, 2021, from $2.08 billion at December 31, 2020, an increase of $58.1 million, or 2.8%, primarily due to an increase in cash deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank, net of a decrease in loans receivable.

CEO outlook and commentary
Vito S. Pantilione, President and Chief Executive Officer of Parke Bancorp, Inc. and Parke Bank, provided the following statement:
"Last year at this time we talked about our relief that the pandemic riddled 2020 was over. The pandemic caused economic chaos with businesses being shut down and multiple government stimulus packages were issued. Unfortunately, although there were not country wide shutdowns, the COVID pandemic worsened in 2021, and was compounded by record inflation, supply chain challenges, and massive employee resignations throughout the country. These factors have resulted in the Federal Reserve clearly stating that it may need to aggressively increase interest rates in 2022, as opposed to the view it expressed earlier in the year that rates would increase in 2024."
"Parke Bank faced these many challenges in 2021 and generated record earnings. Net income was $40.7 million, $3.36 per diluted share, a 43.4% increase over Net Income in 2020. The primary reasons for our record year were continuing with very tight controls over our Company's expenses, improved credit quality, and the reduction of our cost of funds. The SBA's forgiveness of the majority of our PPP loans, combined with the continued uncertainty of the economy, caused a reduction of our outstanding loan portfolio balance. Our loan loss provision remained very strong, at the end of 2021, at a little over 2% of our total loan portfolio."
"2022 will face many of the same challenges of 2021, plus the additional burden of high inflation. The number of positive COVID cases are at record numbers and continue to grow. We have been fortunate that to date, the increase in COVID cases has not required closing any of our branches. Most businesses, including banking, face major difficulties in obtaining quality employees, needed not only to support current operations, but also to support growth. We believe that there will be lending opportunities in 2022, and we will enthusiastically approach these prospects, although with the caution required by the volatile economy. Parke Bank will remain focused on controlling operating expenses of the Company, maintaining asset quality, providing the best in-person and digital banking available, in addition to being in position to take advantage of any opportunities that may be available in the market."
