Affinity Bancshares, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

COVINGTON, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Affinity Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ:鈥淎FBI鈥�) (the 鈥淐ompany鈥�), the holding company for Affinity Bank (the 鈥淏ank鈥�), today announced net income of $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Net Income

• Net income was $1.0 million for three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as a result of an increase in other noninterest expense partially offset by a net increase in interest income.

Results of Operations

• Net interest income was $7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was due to an increase in interest income on loans and investment securities, partially offset by a rise in deposit and borrowing costs and a decrease in interest income on interest-earning deposits.
• Net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased to 3.71% from 3.17% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increases in the margin relate to increases in our yield on earning assets exceeding our increases in our deposits and borrowing costs.

• Non-interest expense increased $1.4 million to $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the respective period in 2023, due to increases in professional fees related to our recently announced merger with Atlanta Postal Credit Union and increases in salaries and employee benefits.
• Net interest income was $14.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $13.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was due to an increase in interest income on loans and investment securities, partially offset by a rise in deposit and borrowing costs and a decrease in interest income on interest-earning deposits.
• Net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased to 3.55% from 3.37% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in the margin relates to increases in our yield on earning assets exceeding our increases in our deposits and borrowing costs.

• Non-interest expense increased $1.8 million to $12.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the respective period in 2023, due to increases in professional fees related to our recently announced merger with Atlanta Postal Credit Union and increases in salaries and employee benefits.

• Total gross loans increased $32.7 million to $692.6 million at June 30, 2024 from $659.9 million at December 31, 2023. The increase was due to steady loan demand in construction and commercial non-owner occupied properties.
