Kenneth J. Stephon, William Penn’s Chairman, President and CEO, stated, “During our first fiscal quarter, the Company continued to concentrate on strengthening the quality of our community bank franchise and delivering value to our shareholders. Importantly, asset quality metrics improved during the quarter, as we received payment from a borrower for full satisfaction of our single largest non-performing loan. The payoff of this non-performing loan contributed to a significant reduction in our non-performing assets, and the Company’s ratio of non-performing assets to total assets decreased to 0.56% as of September 30, 2022 from 0.74% as of June 30, 2022. We will continue to maintain strong credit discipline to protect the quality of our assets.”
Mr. Stephon added, “The Company also maintains continued capital strength, posting a stockholders’ equity to assets ratio of 21.28% and a tangible common equity ratio(2) of 20.77% at September 30, 2022. The strength of this ratio allows us maximum flexibility as we maintain our commitment to effective capital management focusing on organic growth, the payment of a sustainable cash dividend, and the opportunistic buyback of our stock to deliver maximum value to our shareholders. During the quarter, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a new repurchase program to acquire up to 739,385 shares, or approximately 5.0% of the outstanding shares, commencing upon the completion of the Company’s existing stock repurchase program. We are authorized to repurchase a total of 2,269,358 shares under our stock repurchase programs and, as of September 30, 2022, we had repurchased a total of 1,164,288 shares at a total cost of $13.7 million, or $11.73 per share.”
