Allowance for Credit Losses ("ACL") on Loans
Current report
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, net charge-offs decreased $2.1 million to $1.1 million, with a net charge-offs to average loans ratio of 0.56%, compared to $3.2 million and 1.40% for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Current report
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net charge-offs declined $1.4 million to $5.8 million, with a net charge-offs to average loans ratio of 0.96% , down from $7.2 million and 1.07% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Current report
The reduction in net charge-offs for both three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primary driven by a $1.7 million decrease in charge-offs related to purchased unsecured consumer loans as the portfolio balances have declined.
Current report
The average loan balance decreased by $137.4 million, from $921.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, to $783.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. For the nine-month period, the average loan balance decreased $89.4 million, from $899.5 million in 2023 to $810.1 million in 2024. This decrease in average loan balance for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, reflects the Company's continued approach of limiting loan growth and allowing loans to pay down to strengthen capital ratios as the balance sheet is reduced.
Current report
As of September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the ACL was $15.0 million and $25.7 million, respectively. The decrease was due to significant charge-offs of reserved CRE and consumer loans after September 30, 2023, which also impacted the ACL to loans ratio of 1.98%, compared to an ACL of $25.7 million and an ACL to loans ratio of 2.88% as of September 30, 2023.
Current report
The nonaccrual loan was $36.5 million as of September 30, 2024, compared to $30.8 million as of September 30, 2023. The allowance for credit losses to nonaccrual loans ratio was 41.01% as of September 30, 2024, compared to 83.26% as of September 30, 2023. The rate at September 30, 2023 was significantly higher due to reserves on individually evaluated CRE loans that were subsequently charged-off after September 30, 2023.
Current report
As of December 31, 2023, the $18.1 million of non-accrual loans was comprised of 139 borrowers. Of which, 19 loans were individually evaluated, and a specific reserve of $4.2 million was established.
Current report
As of September 30, 2024 the carrying value of the deferred tax assets is nil as there is a full valuation allowance against all of the DTAs. As of December 31, 2023, DTAs were $24.1 million, consisting predominately of Federal and state net operating losses, capitalized costs and allowance for credit losses.
Current report
As of September 30, 2024, Patriot has $54.7 million of net operating losses ("NOLs") available for Connecticut tax purposes at September 30, 2024, which may be used to offset up to 50% of taxable income in any year. The NOLs expire between 2030 and 2044.
Current report
Valuation Allowance against Deferred Tax Assets
Current report
Patriot recognizes income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets (DTAs) and liabilities (DTLs) are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and loss carry forwards. DTAs and DTLs are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on DTAs and DTLs of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Current report
In certain circumstances DTAs are subject to reduction by a valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is subject to ongoing adjustment based on changes in circumstances that affect management’s judgment about the realizability of the deferred tax asset. Adjustments to increase or decrease the valuation allowance are charged or credited to the deferred tax component of the income tax provision or benefit.
Current report
The Company recognize deferred tax assets to the extent we believe it is more likely than not the asset will be realized. Quarterly, management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit the use of existing deferred tax assets, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected taxable income, tax-planning strategies, carryback potential if permitted, and the results of recent operations. A significant piece of objective negative evidence is the existence of a three or four year cumulative loss. Such objective negative evidence limits the ability of management to consider other subjective evidence, such as projected taxable income. When appropriate, the Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
Current report
Based on our assessment performed as of September 30, 2024, we determined that a full valuation allowance was appropriate against the Company’s U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. This resulted in an increase in our income tax expense of approximately $25.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Currently, the key factor on the Company’s assumption of providing 100% valuation allowance was purely based on our historical operating losses. Once we begin generating profits, we will re-evaluate whether providing 100% valuation allowance is appropriate or if we can reassess that allowance. As deferred tax assets associated with NOL carryforwards are already a direct reduction to Tier 1 Capital, the valuation allowance at September 30, 2024 resulted in a reduction of Tier 1 Capital of $19.9 million.
Current report
Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
Current report
In addition to evaluating the Company's financial performance in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), management may evaluate certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as uninsured deposits to total deposits excluding Digital Payments deposits. A computation and reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures used for these purposes is contained in the accompanying Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures tables. We believe that by excluding Digital Payments deposits, management can present a view of uninsured deposits that better reflects the Company's traditional deposit base, providing investors with useful information for understanding our uninsured deposits position and financial stability. Digital Payments deposits are analyzed for FDIC insurance at the Program Manager level. Certain accounts are reciprocal deposits through the IntraFi network and therefore the entire deposit balances qualify for FDIC insurance. The remaining deposit balances are aggregated at the Program Manager level, and any deposits exceeding $250,000 are considered uninsured.
Current report
The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures and results, and we strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

Current report
Provision for Credit Losses ("PCL")
Current report
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Bank has been selectively managing down its credit exposure in certain higher-risk areas. The loan portfolio declined from $889.9 million as of September 30, 2023, to $755.7 million as of September 30, 2024. This reduction in credit exposure has required a lower level of reserves. Consequently, the ACL for loans outstanding decreased from $25.7 million as of September 30, 2023, to $15.0 million as of September 30, 2024.
Current report
One key driver in both the level of outstanding loans and reserves is the pool of purchased unsecured consumer loans, which decreased from $58.3 million as of September 30, 2023 to $26.1 million as of September 30, 2024. Correspondingly, the reserves for this pool also fell, declining from $9.2 million as of September 30, 2023 to $3.8 million as of September 30, 2024. Additionally, as of September 30, 2023, the Bank had obligations of $18.1 million yet to fund under these same pools, against which the bank held $1.1 million of reserves. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Bank entered into an agreement with the originator and servicer that released the Bank from any obligation for further funding, thereby freeing up the aforementioned $1.1 million of reserves.
Current report
As of September 30, 2023, the ACL also included $6.2 million of reserves against an $8.9 million loan that had been originated in part for community development purposes. The loan was used to finance a special-use property and was charged-off during the fourth quarter of 2023, resulting in a loss of approximately $5.9 million.
Current report
The Company measures liquidity in two primary ratios: on-hand liquidity to total liabilities, and total liquidity to total liabilities. On-hand liquidity is comprised of interest-bearing cash and cash equivalents and unpledged available-for-sale securities. Total liquidity includes on-hand liquidity, plus total available credit lines, plus availability of brokered deposits which is subject to internal limitations. The Company monitors other metrics in addition to on-hand liquidity and total liquidity to manage concentration risk in certain types of liabilities.
Current report
The Company's on-hand liquidity and total liquidity ratios for the periods ending September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, are as follows:
Current report
On-hand liquidity increased $53 million from December 31, 2023 to September 30, 2024 due to the payoff of the $70 million Federal Reserve BTFP borrowing, which released the pledge of certain available-for-sale securities. The payoff of the BTFP will have a slight benefit on the Company's Net Interest Income as the rate on the BTFP was slightly higher than the current replacement funding. Both on-hand liquidity to total liabilities and total liquidity to total liabilities increased at September 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 due to the increased total liquidity and the reduction in total liabilities as the overall balance sheet has shrunk in an effort to improve the Bank's capital ratios.
Current report
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $15.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Within this activity there was a significant increase in originations of loans held for sale and proceeds from sale of assets held for sale. This activity is primarily related to the Digital Payments Division credit card loans. This program started in the third quarter of 2023 and continues today. The activity generates non-interest income and only requires short term liquidity as the loans are originated and expected to be sold within three days.
Current report
Net cash provided by investing activities increased by $149 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is primarily due to lower originations of loans receivable and purchases of loans receivable as the Company is focused on lowering total assets to improve the Company's capital ratios.
Current report
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $199 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease is primarily due to activity in proceeds from FRB and correspondent bank borrowings and repayments of FRB and correspondent bank borrowings. The Company did not require as much funding from FRB and correspondent bank borrowings due to the net cash provided by lower loan originations and loan purchases.
Current report
If a bank fails to maintain its capital ratios above the higher minimums established in the IMCR, the OCC may issue a capital directive requiring the bank to submit and adhere to an acceptable plan to achieve or maintain its required capital levels. Additionally, the OCC may deem a bank’s failure to maintain capital ratios above the IMCR an unsafe or unsound practice within the meaning of 12 USC 1818.1

Previous report
Deferred tax assets were $25.1 million and $24.1 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Deferred tax assets consist predominately of state net operating losses, capitalized costs and allowances for credit losses.
Previous report
Patriot anticipates utilizing the state net operating loss carry forwards to reduce income taxes otherwise payable on future years taxable income.
Previous report
Patriot evaluates its ability to realize its net deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. In doing so, management considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. In addition, management assesses tax attributes including available tax planning strategies and state net operating loss carry-forwards that do not begin to expire until the year of 2030. No valuation allowance was recorded as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company will continue to evaluate its ability to realize its net deferred tax assets. If future evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that additional deferred tax assets will not be realized, the valuation allowance will be adjusted.

Current wording
The Company reported net loss of $27.0 million ($6.78 basic and diluted loss per share) for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to a net loss of $3.8 million ($0.95 basic and diluted loss per share) for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The $23.2 million increase in net loss for the quarter was primarily driven by a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets ("DTA") of $25.1 million, see Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for more information. This increase was partially offset by a pretax $3.7 million reduction in provision for credit losses and a pretax $1.5 million decrease in net interest income.
Previous wording
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net loss was $3.4 million, or $0.85 basic and diluted loss per share, compared to a net loss of $1.3 million, ($0.33 basic and diluted loss per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

This represents a year-over-year increase in net loss of $25.3 million. The primary driver of this increase was the same $25.1 million DTA valuation allowance, see Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for more information. This increase is offset by fluctuations including lower pretax net interest income of $6.8 million, lower pretax provision for credit losses of $3.5 million and higher pretax noninterest income of $3.6 million, primarily from revenue on the Digital Payments Division.

The allowance for credit losses on loans was $15.0 million as of June 30, 2024, compared to $15.9 million as of December 31, 2023. The decrease in allowance was mainly due to reduction in loan balances and the recognition of charge-offs on the unsecured consumer loan portfolio. Based upon the overall assessment and evaluation of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2024, management believes $15.0 million in the allowance for credit losses, which represented 1.93% of gross loans outstanding, is adequate under prevailing economic conditions to absorb existing losses in the loan portfolio.
