Lexicon Bancorp (“Bancorp,” the parent company for Lexicon Bank (“Bank,” and “Lexicon” collectively), announces unaudited results for the quarter ending September 30, 2023. The Bank continues to focus on personalized services for clients, which is reflected in the solid growth of our core loans and deposits and the continued strategic repositioning and diversification of our deposit base.

Core loans, net of fees, grew to $145.8 million as of September 30, 2023, reflecting year-to-date growth of $23.0 million. The loan portfolio had zero delinquencies and one charge-off totaling $99 thousand during the quarter. The portfolio remains healthy and strong. PPP loans, net of fees, decreased by $2.0 million for the quarter to $10.2 million. The weighted average interest rate on the core loan portfolio increased from 5.18% on December 31, 2022, to 5.54% on September 30, 2023, reflecting the current interest rate environment.

Total deposits grew by $21.9 million in the third quarter to $221.6 million. We held cash and cash equivalents of $55.8 million on September 30, 2023, compared to $35.4 million on June 30, 2023. The average cost of deposits for the quarter increased to 1.61% compared to 0.98% in the prior quarter, primarily due to increases in overall interest rates and changes in the mix of deposit accounts.

Our core loan-to-deposit ratio increased to 65.8% on September 30, 2023 from 54.8% on December 31, 2022. We are focused on achieving a ratio closer to the desired range of 70% to 80%, to allow liquidity and capital to be more effectively utilized.

Total equity was $24.9 million, decreasing by $327 thousand during the third quarter of 2023. This was primarily due to net income after taxes of $96 thousand offset by a $368 thousand increase in the unrealized losses on securities, net of taxes.

For the third quarter of 2023, net income after taxes was $96 thousand compared to $456 thousand for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower net interest income due to the impact of higher interest expense on deposits and higher noninterest expenses due to higher provisions for unfunded loan commitments and the costs related to the formation of Bancorp. Net income after taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were $728 thousand and $161 thousand, respectively. The large increase was due to continued balance sheet growth driving net interest income higher, partially offset by lower income from PPP loans.

As of September 30, 2023, the Bank’s assets totaled $250.7 million, an increase of $20.4 million from total assets of $230.2 million on June 30, 2023.
