NorthEast Community Bancorp reported a strong second quarter with net income significantly increased compared to the same period last year, driven by the robust performance of its loan portfolio and strategic focus on construction lending for affordable housing.
Net income increased to $11.1 million, or $0.75 per share, compared to $5.4 million, or $0.35 per share, in the same quarter last year.
Total assets grew by 13.4% to $1.6 billion, driven by increases in net loans and cash equivalents.
Net interest income rose by 77.4% to $24.0 million, due to an increase in interest income offset by an increase in interest expense.
Non-interest income increased by 90.3% to $1.0 million, primarily due to an increase in BOLI income and a decrease in unrealized loss on equity securities.
