Insights

Catalyst Bancorp reported modest growth but declining profits; strong capital position mitigates concerns about slight deterioration in asset quality.

Catalyst Bancorp reported $521,000 in net income for Q2 2025, down 11.1% from the $586,000 earned in Q1. Despite this profit decline, the bank showed modest growth with loans increasing 1% to $167.6 million and deposits growing at the same rate to $182.2 million.

The loan portfolio underwent significant composition shifts rather than substantial growth. Commercial real estate loans surged 54% while construction and land loans decreased 36%, largely explained by $14.5 million in construction loans converting to permanent financing upon project completion. This conversion pattern typically signals healthy project progression and reduced risk as loans move from construction to permanent status.

Credit quality metrics showed marginal deterioration with non-performing assets increasing slightly to $1.8 million or 0.64% of total assets compared to 0.63% in Q1. The allowance for credit losses decreased to 1.45% of total loans from 1.51% previously, with net charge-offs of $42,000 during the quarter.

Net interest margin improved to 3.98%, up 9 basis points from Q1, driving a 4% increase in net interest income to $2.5 million. This improvement stemmed from both higher yields on interest-earning assets and lower costs on interest-bearing liabilities. Non-interest income fell 38% to $344,000, but this decline was primarily due to one-time insurance proceeds of $216,000 recorded in Q1.

The bank maintains an exceptionally strong capital position with equity at 29.5% of total assets, far exceeding regulatory requirements. The ongoing share repurchase program continued with the bank buying back 62,385 shares at an average cost of $11.91 per share, slightly higher than the $11.86 paid in Q1. Since initiating repurchases in January 2023, the bank has reduced its share count by approximately 22%, demonstrating commitment to returning capital to shareholders while maintaining substantial capital reserves for future growth opportunities.

OPELOUSAS, La., July 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Catalyst Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: "CLST") (the "Company"), the parent company for Catalyst Bank (the "Bank") (www.catalystbank.com), reported net income of $521,000 for the second quarter of 2025, compared to net income of $586,000 for the first quarter of 2025.
