The company's revenue is derived from a diverse range of sources, including net interest income, non-interest income, and fee-based services. In the latest fiscal year, net interest income accounted for $26,213,000, or 67.7% of total revenue, while non-interest income contributed $8,129,000, or 21.0% of total revenue. The remaining 11.3% of revenue came from other sources.Compared to the previous year, the company's net interest income decreased by 2.9%, primarily due to a reduction in loan fee income generated through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans. However, this was partially offset by an increase in investment portfolio income and higher interest earned on balances at the Federal Reserve. The decrease in net interest income was also mitigated by a 19.3% reduction in interest expense, as the company effectively managed its funding costs.
Non-interest income, on the other hand, decreased by 42.9% year-over-year, primarily due to a significant decline in gain on sale of loans. This was largely attributable to a decrease in residential mortgage loan activity, as well as a lower net gain on sale expressed as a percentage of loan balances sold. The company's other non-interest income, however, increased by 125.2%, driven by growth in income from the loan hedging program and a one-time BOLI death benefit payment.
