Forward Guidance
For fiscal year 2021, it is currently the intention of the Board of Directors to continue the payout of 100% of the Company's earnings to the Company's stockholders. Dividend payments depend upon a number of factors including the Company's financial condition and results of operations, regulatory capital requirements, regulatory limitations on the Bank's ability to make capital distributions to the Company, and the amount of cash at the holding company level.
Positive Outlook
- The Company has the resources to continue to pay its regular quarterly dividend of $0.085 per share for the foreseeable future.
- It is management's intention to ask for a regulatory non-objection at some point in the future to pay this dividend when economic conditions are more certain.
- It is currently the Company's intention to pay out 100% of its fiscal year 2021 earnings.
- Management anticipates the effective income tax rate for fiscal year 2021 will be approximately 21% to 22%.
- The Bank elected to use the CBLR framework beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, the Bank's CBLR was 12.4%, which exceeded the minimum requirement.
Challenges Ahead
- There is increasing concern about the longer lasting impact on local business as well as travel and entertainment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
