DUNKIRK, N.Y., Oct. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: LSBK), the holding company for Lake Shore Savings Bank (the “Bank”), reported unaudited net income of $1.3 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2024 compared to net income of $1.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024, and $1.6 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2023. The increase in net income during the third quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by an increase in net interest income and a reduction in non-interest expenses when compared to the previous quarter.

Net interest margin and interest rate spread were 3.17% and 2.59%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2024 as compared to 3.72% and 3.36%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2023.
Interest income for the third quarter of 2024 was $8.9 million, an increase of $97,000, or 1.1%, compared to $8.8 million for the second quarter of 2024, and an increase of $130,000, or 1.5%, compared to $8.7 million for the third quarter of 2023. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to an 11 basis points increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $6.0 million, or 0.9%. The increase from the prior year quarter was primarily due to a 21 basis points increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $16.7 million, or 2.5%.
Interest income for the first nine months of 2024 was $26.2 million, an increase of $1.1 million, or 4.3%, compared to $25.1 million for the first nine months of 2023. The increase was primarily due to a 32 basis point increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $14.0 million, or 2.1%.
Interest expense for the third quarter of 2024 was $3.5 million, a decrease of $80,000, or 2.3%, from the second quarter of 2024, and an increase of $1.0 million, or 43.0%, from $2.4 million for the third quarter of 2023.
The decrease in interest expense when compared to the previous quarter was primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $12.0 million, or 2.3%. During the third quarter of 2024, there was a $52,000 decrease in interest expense on total deposit accounts when compared to the second quarter of 2024, due to a decrease in the average balance of total deposit accounts of $7.2 million, or 1.4% and a one basis point decrease in the average interest rate paid on total deposits. Additionally, interest expense on borrowed funds and other interest-bearing liabilities decreased by $28,000, or 15.8% during the third quarter of 2024 when compared to the second quarter of 2024, due to a decrease in the average balance of borrowed funds and other interest-bearing liabilities of $4.8 million, or 19.1%, as we reduced our FHLB borrowings.
The increase in interest expense when compared to the third quarter of 2023 was primarily due to an 86 basis points increase in the average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $10.9 million, or 2.1%. During the third quarter of 2024, there was a $1.2 million increase in interest expense on total deposit accounts when compared to the third quarter of 2023 due to a 97 basis points increase in the average interest rate paid on total deposits along with an increase in average total deposit balances of $5.5 million, or 1.1%. The increase in the average interest rate paid on deposit accounts was primarily due to the increase in market interest rates and deposit competition. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on borrowed funds and other interest-bearing liabilities of $173,000, or 53.7%, in the third quarter of 2024 when compared to the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to a $16.5 million decrease in the average balance of borrowed funds and other interest-bearing liabilities outstanding as we reduced our FHLBNY borrowings, and the average rate paid declined by 58 basis points.
Interest expense for the first nine months of 2024 was $10.5 million, an increase of $4.2 million, or 65.4%, from $6.3 million for the first nine months of 2023. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to a 109 basis points increase in average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $8.0 million, or 1.5%. During the first nine months of 2024, there was a $4.6 million increase in interest expense on total deposit accounts when compared to the first nine months of 2023 due to a 122 basis points increase in the average interest rate paid on total deposits along with an increase in average total deposit balances of $6.3 million, or 1.3%. The increase in the average interest rate paid on deposit accounts was primarily due to the increase in market interest rates and deposit competition. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on borrowed funds and other interest-bearing liabilities of $452,000, or 44.8%, during the first nine months of 2024 when compared to the first nine months of 2023, primarily due to a $14.4 million decrease in the average balance of borrowed funds and other interest-bearing liabilities outstanding along with a 45 basis points decrease in the average interest rate paid on borrowed funds and other interest bearing liabilities as we reduced our FHLBNY borrowings.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income was $791,000 for the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $53,000, or 7.2%, as compared to $738,000 for the second quarter of 2024, and an increase of $186,000, or 30.7%, as compared to $605,000 for the third quarter of 2023. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to a $67,000 increase in earnings on bank-owned life insurance during the third quarter of 2024 as the result of the recognition of a death benefit. The increase from the prior year quarter was primarily due to a $173,000 increase in earnings on bank-owned life insurance in connection with the restructuring of bank-owned life insurance during the fourth quarter of 2023 as well as an increase in service charges and fees of $28,000, or 10.9%.
Non-interest income was $2.2 million for the first nine months of 2024, an increase of $524,000, or 30.6%, as compared to the first nine months of 2023. The increase was primarily due to a $394,000 increase in earnings on bank-owned life insurance in connection with the restructuring of bank-owned life insurance during the fourth quarter of 2023 and the recognition of a death benefit in the third quarter of 2024, a favorable variance of $58,000 related to interest rate swaps during the first nine months of 2024 as a result of unwinding the swaps during 2023, and a $52,000 increase related to the loss on the sale of securities available for sale that occurred during the first nine months of 2023 as part of a balance sheet restructuring.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense was $4.8 million for the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of $84,000, or 1.7%, as compared to $4.9 million for the second quarter of 2024, and a decrease of $383,000, or 7.4%, as compared to $5.2 million for the third quarter of 2023.
The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily related to a decrease in FDIC insurance expense of $154,000, or 54.2% and a decrease in professional services expense of $36,000, or 9.1%. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in salaries and employee benefit costs and other expenses.
The decrease from the prior year quarter was primarily related to a decrease in FDIC insurance expense of $165,000, or 55.9%, and a decrease in advertising expense of $146,000, or 93.0%, as a result of a decrease in marketing spending. As a result of management's efforts to rationalize staffing and optimize operating expenses, salaries and employee benefits decreased by $31,000, or 1.1%.
Non-interest expense was $14.7 million for the first nine months of 2024, a decrease of $1.9 million, or 11.5%, as compared to $16.6 million for the first nine months of 2023. The decrease related primarily to a decline in professional services expense of $1.0 million, or 48.0%, as a result of a decrease in the use of external consultants. Additionally, advertising costs decreased by $435,000, or 84.6%, due to a decrease in marketing spending, and FDIC insurance costs decreased by $133,000, or 16.1%. As a result of management's efforts to rationalize staffing and optimize operating expenses, salaries and employee benefits decreased by $208,000, or 2.5% and occupancy and equipment expenses decreased by $148,000, or 6.7%. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in data processing costs of $51,000, or 4.0%.
Credit Quality
The Company's allowance for credit losses on loans was $5.5 million at September 30, 2024 as compared to $6.5 million at December 31, 2023. The Company's allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments was $574,000 at September 30, 2024 as compared to $485,000 at December 31, 2023.
Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets increased to 0.57% at September 30, 2024 as compared to 0.47% at December 31, 2023 as a result of a decrease in total assets of $27.5 million and an increase in non-performing assets of $628,000. The Company’s allowance for credit losses on loans as a percent of net loans was 1.01% at September 30, 2024 and 1.16% at December 31, 2023. The decline in the allowance for credit losses to net loans and the corresponding credit to the provision for credit losses recognized was primarily due to a decrease in the quantitative loss factors derived from historical loss rates calculated in the vintage model as well as a decrease in the qualitative loss factor derived from forecasting economic trends.
Balance Sheet Summary
Total assets at September 30, 2024 were $697.6 million, a $27.5 million decrease, or 3.8%, as compared to $725.1 million at December 31, 2023. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $3.7 million, or 7.0%, from $53.7 million at December 31, 2023 to $50.0 million at September 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the repayment of $25.0 million of FHLBNY borrowings and the nonrenewal of $16.0 million of brokered CDs, partially offset by organic deposit growth of $12.6 million, or 2.2%, and loan repayments, net of originations, of $16.8 million, or 3.0%. Securities available for sale were $58.8 million at September 30, 2024 as compared to $60.4 million at December 31, 2023.
