| Capital | BancShares remained well capitalized with a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.8%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 11.6%, a common equity Tier 1 ratio of 10.6% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 7.9%. | |||||||||||||
ONGOING COVID-19 RESPONSE
BancShares remains in a strong capital and liquidity position providing stability in navigating the COVID-19 crisis. Our leadership team continues to work to identify and enact appropriate measures in an effort to protect the welfare of our employees and soundness of the organization, while continuing to support our customers. Our branches have re-opened with enhanced safety protocols and our corporate locations remain at limited occupancy due to current virus trends.
Through December 31, 2020, over 97% of all COVID-19 related loan extensions have begun repayment. Delinquency trends among loans entering repayment are in line with the remainder of the portfolio. We have not seen significant declines in overall credit quality, though the impacts of the SBA-PPP and payment extensions could be delaying signs of credit deterioration.
During 2020, BancShares originated over 23,000 SBA-PPP loans, with outstanding aggregate loan balances of $2.41 billion at December 31, 2020. We collected $117.2 million in SBA-PPP related loan fees per the program terms. These fees were deferred and are being recognized in interest income over the life of the respective loans. As of December 31, 2020, remaining deferred fees were $41.1 million.
We began accepting and processing applications for forgiveness during the third quarter of 2020 and have received over 6,500 forgiveness decisions from the SBA to date, representing over $900 million in forgiveness payments. The Consolidated Appropriations Act 2021 was signed into law during the fourth quarter of 2020 and contained provisions for new funding of SBA-PPP loans. We have begun accepting applications for this round of funding beginning in the first quarter of 2021.
Strong Liquidity and Capital Position
We continue to maintain a strong level of liquidity. As of December 31, 2020, liquid assets (available cash, overnight investments and unencumbered available for sale securities) totaled approximately $9.63 billion, representing 19.8% of consolidated assets.
In addition to liquid assets, we had contingent sources of liquidity totaling approximately $11.90 billion in the form of Federal Home Loan Bank borrowing capacity, Federal Reserve Discount Window availability, fed funds lines and a committed line of credit as of December 31, 2020.
At December 31, 2020, BancShares’ regulatory capital ratios were well in excess of Basel III capital requirements with a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.8%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 11.6%, a common equity Tier 1 ratio of 10.6%, a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 7.9% and a capital conservation buffer of 5.6%, more than twice the required level of 2.5%.
RECENT MERGER ACTIVITY
On October 15, 2020, BancShares announced a definitive merger agreement with CIT Group Inc. (“CIT”) through which the companies plan to combine in an all-stock merger of equals. The transaction is anticipated to close during the first half of 2021.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $358.7 million, an increase of $31.6 million, or 9.7%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. This was primarily due to an increase in interest earned on loans, driven by SBA-PPP loans and organic loan growth and lower rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by declines in yields on interest-earning assets and increased borrowings. SBA-PPP loans contributed $42.2 million in interest and fee income during the quarter. The taxable-equivalent NIM was 3.02% during the fourth quarter of 2020, a decrease of 57 basis points from 3.59% for the comparable quarter in the prior year. The margin decline was primarily due to a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a decline in rates paid on deposits and borrowings. The taxable-equivalent NIM declined 4 basis points from 3.06% in the linked quarter primarily related to a decline in yield on investment securities, partially offset by a decline in the rate paid on interest-bearing deposits.
Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $1.39 billion, an increase of $76.8 million, or 5.9%, compared to the same period of 2019. The change was primarily due to SBA-PPP loans and organic loan growth coupled with lower rates paid on deposits and borrowings. This was partially offset by declines in the yield on interest-earning assets and higher deposit and borrowing balances. SBA-PPP loans contributed $90.1 million in interest and fee income during 2020. The taxable equivalent NIM decreased 57 basis points to 3.17% compared to 3.74% for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to a decline in yield on interest-earning assets coupled with an increase in total borrowings, partially offset by a decline in the rate paid on interest-bearing deposits.
PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES
Provision expense was $5.4 million and $58.4 million for the three- and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2020, respectively, as compared to $7.7 million and $31.4 million for the three- and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The increase in the twelve-month period was primarily COVID-19 related as loss estimates consider the potential impact of slower economic activity and elevated unemployment, as well as potential mitigants due to government stimulus and loan accommodations. The year-to-date provision expense includes $36.1 million of reserve build for credit losses specifically related to the potential impacts of COVID-19. The decrease in provision for the three-month period was due to limited movement in credit quality metrics and continued low net charge-offs.
Total net charge-offs in the fourth quarter of 2020 were $5.0 million, a decrease from $9.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 due to a lower volume of charge-offs and increased recoveries. Net charge-offs were $22.4 million and $30.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The net charge-off ratio was 0.06% and 0.07% for the three- and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2020, respectively, compared to 0.14% and 0.11% for the three and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively. Excluding the impact of SBA-PPP loans on average loan balances, the net charge-off ratio was 0.07% and 0.08% for the three and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2020.
NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $126.8 million compared to $104.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, an increase of $22.4 million, or 21.4%. Fair value adjustments on marketable equity securities and realized gains on available for sale securities increased by a combined $16.8 million. Mortgage income increased by $6.5 million due to increased production and sales resulting from lower mortgage interest rates. Wealth income increased $3.2 million driven by an increase in transaction volume and assets under management. Service charges on deposits declined $4.3 million due to lower transaction volumes related to COVID-19 stimulus.
Noninterest income for 2020 was $476.8 million compared to $415.9 million for 2019, an increase of $60.9 million, or 14.6%. Fair value adjustments on marketable equity securities and realized gains on available for sale securities increased by a combined $61.9 million. Mortgage income increased by $18.5 million due to increased production and sales resulting from lower mortgage interest rates. Service charges on deposits declined $17.5 million due to lower transaction volumes related to COVID-19 stimulus.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense was $305.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, a $13.1 million, or 4.5%, increase compared to the same period in 2019. The increase was largely driven by an $8.7 million increase in personnel expenses primarily from acquisitions and merit increases. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $5.0 million primarily driven by sanitation and cleaning expenses due to COVID-19 and repairs in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Noninterest expense was $1.19 billion for 2020, an $84.9 million, or 7.7% increase compared to 2019. The increase was largely driven by a $50.7 million increase in personnel expenses as a result of merit increases and acquisitions, a $15.2 million increase in processing fees paid to third parties reflecting continued investment in digital and technological capabilities and an $8.2 million increase in pension expense as a result of a decline in the discount rate.
INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate was 21.0% for the fourth quarter of 2020 and 22.5% for the fourth quarter of 2019. For fiscal years 2020 and 2019, the effective tax rate was 20.4% and 22.7%, respectively.
The effective tax rates for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2020 were favorably impacted by $3.5 million and $13.9 million, respectively, due to BancShares’ decision to utilize an allowable alternative for computing its 2020 federal income tax liability. Without this alternative, the effective tax rate would have been approximately 23.0% and 22.7% for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2020, respectively. The allowable alternative provides BancShares the ability to use the federal income tax rate for certain current year deductible amounts related to prior year FDIC-assisted acquisitions that was applicable when these amounts were originally subjected to tax.
LOANS AND DEPOSITS
At December 31, 2020, loans totaled $32.79 billion, an increase of $3.91 billion since December 31, 2019. Of this growth, $2.41 billion was related to SBA-PPP loans. Excluding SBA-PPP loans and loans from acquisitions, total loans increased $1.40 billion since December 31, 2019, or by 4.9%.
At December 31, 2020, deposits totaled $43.43 billion, an increase of $9.00 billion since December 31, 2019. This growth includes estimated deposits of $0.93 billion related to the SBA-PPP and deposits from acquisitions of $203.2 million. Excluding the impact of these deposits, total deposits increased $7.87 billion since December 31, 2019, or by 22.9%.
ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The ACL was $224.3 million at December 31, 2020, compared to $225.1 million at December 31, 2019. The ACL as a percentage of total loans was 0.68% at December 31, 2020, compared to 0.78% at December 31, 2019. The reduction was due primarily to the adoption of the Current Expected Credit Loss model (“CECL”), resulting in a $37.9 million reduction in the ACL, with a majority of the decrease offset by a reserve build of $36.1 million due to an increase in potential loan losses related to the impact of COVID-19. Excluding SBA-PPP loans, which have no associated ACL, the ACL as a percentage of total loans was 0.74% as of December 31, 2020.
NONPERFORMING ASSETS
Nonperforming assets, including nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned, were $242.4 million, or 0.74% of total loans and other real estate owned at December 31, 2020, compared to $168.3 million or 0.58% at December 31, 2019. Contributing to the increase was the adoption of CECL, which moved loans from performing purchased credit impaired pools into nonaccrual status, and represents $24.9 million of nonaccrual loans as of December 31, 2020.
CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS
During the fourth quarter of 2020, BancShares did not repurchase any shares of Class A common stock compared to a total of 254,510 shares of Class A common stock for $125.0 million at an average cost per share of $490.96 for the fourth quarter of 2019.

(1) BancShares recorded no ACL on investment securities as part of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments as of January 1, 2020, September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2020.
(2) Upon adoption of ASU 2016-13 as of January 1, 2020, the concept of purchased credit impaired loans under ASC 310-30 was eliminated. Loans and leases determined at the date of acquisition, to have experienced more than insignificant credit quality since origination are accounted for under the guidance in ASC Topic 326-20, Credit Losses as purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) assets. PCD loans and leases are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition with an initial reserve recorded directly to the allowance for credit losses. Provision is recorded if there is additional credit deterioration after the acquisition date. Non-PCD loans include originated and purchased non-credit deteriorated loans. Loans previously classified as PCI were determined to be PCD.
(3) Upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, we dissolved pooling of PCI loans allowed under ASC 310-30. This increased the amount of nonaccrual loans as those nonaccrual loans within performing PCI pools were previously excluded from reporting. As of January 1, 2020, there were $47.0 million of nonaccrual loans released from performing PCI pools including $24.2 million of loans that were greater than 90 days past due. Of these nonaccrual loans, $24.9 million were outstanding as of December 31, 2020.
(4) Loans originated in relation to the SBA-PPP do not have a recorded ACL. As of December 31, 2020, the ratio of ACL to total Non-PCD loans excluding SBA-PPP loans was 0.67% while the ratio of ACL to total loans excluding SBA-PPP loans was 0.74%.

® Background Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) 12 ▪ The Paycheck Protection Program is an SBA loan program designed to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll. The SBA will forgive loans if the proceeds are used for specific expenditures and certain employment thresholds are met. ▪ $3.2 billion consisting of approximately 23,000 loans were made to customers as part of the loan program. ▪ The loan terms are for 24 months at 1.00% interest. ▪ Total fee income, net of origination expenses, was $110.1 million. Our weighted average fee was 3.65% (fees on loans ranged from 1% - 5% depending on size). This fee is being recognized as part of commercial and business interest income using the effective yield method over the contractual loan lives.
