Net Income

Net income was $16.9 million for the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $2.5 million, or 17.3%, from $14.4 million for the second quarter of 2021. This increase was due to an increase in net interest income of $3.4 million and an increase in noninterest income of $938,000, offset by an increase in provision for loan losses of $374,000, an increase in noninterest expense of $1.0 million and an increase in provision for income taxes of $421,000. Net income increased $7.5 million, or 79.9%, in the third quarter of 2021 compared to net income of $9.4 million for the third quarter of 2020. This increase was due to an increase in net interest income of $12.2 million and an increase in noninterest income of $1.6 million, offset by an increase in provision for loan losses of $1.1 million, an increase in noninterest expense of $3.0 million and an increase in provision for income taxes of $2.2 million.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Interest income totaled $29.3 million for the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $3.4 million, or 13.3%, from the previous quarter, primarily due to a $261.7 million increase in average loan balances. We also recognized Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan fee income of $1.9 million during the third quarter of 2021 compared to $1.7 million recognized during the second quarter of 2021. As compared to the third quarter of 2020, interest income for the third quarter of 2021 increased by $11.2 million, or 61.7%, primarily due to an increase in average loan balances of $833.5 million.

Interest expense totaled $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2021, a slight increase of $72,000, or 6.8%, from the previous quarter, primarily due to a $92.0 million increase in average deposits as deposit costs remained relatively flat. As compared to the third quarter of 2020, interest expense for the third quarter of 2021 decreased by $1.1 million, or 48.2%, primarily due to a 66 basis points decrease in deposit costs coupled with a $40.6 million decrease in higher cost average time deposits.

The net interest margin for the third quarter of 2021 was 4.57% compared to 4.60% for the previous quarter, a decrease of three basis points. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities for the third quarter of 2021 decreased by 3 basis points to 0.28% compared with the previous quarter, while the yield on average interest-earning assets for the third quarter of 2021 decreased by 4 basis points to 4.75% from 4.79% for the previous quarter. Average earning assets increased by $280.5 million from the previous quarter, primarily due to an increase in average loans of $261.7 million and an $18.7 million increase in average interest-earning cash accounts. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $238.3 million from the previous quarter as average interest-bearing deposits increased by $92.0 million and average borrowings increased by $146.3 million. The inclusion of PPP loan average balances, interest and fees had a 23 basis point impact on the yield on average loans and a 22 basis points impact on the net interest margin for the third quarter of 2021.

As compared to the same period in 2020, the net interest margin for the third quarter of 2021 increased by 60 basis points to 4.57% from 3.97%, primarily due to a 63 basis point decrease in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities of $1.62 billion and an increase of 24 basis points in the yield on average interest-earning assets of $2.45 billion. Average earning assets for the third quarter of 2021 increased by $848.1 million from the third quarter of 2020, primarily due to a $833.5 million increase in average loans and a $55.5 million increase in average interest-earning cash accounts, offset by a $40.0 million decrease in average securities purchased under agreements to resell. Average interest-bearing liabilities for the third quarter of 2021 increased by $665.4 million from the third quarter of 2020, driven by an increase in average interest-bearing deposits of $509.3 million and an increase in average borrowings of $156.1 million.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2021 was $9.5 million, an increase of $938,000, or 10.9%, from the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to higher mortgage loan fees, mortgage servicing income and gains on sale of SBA loans, partially offset by a decrease in SBA servicing income. During the third quarter of 2021, we recorded a $225,000 fair value adjustment charge on our SBA servicing asset and a $420,000 fair value impairment recovery on our mortgage servicing asset. These servicing asset adjustments had a $0.01 per share impact on our diluted earnings per share for the quarter.

Compared to the same period in 2020, noninterest income for the third quarter of 2021 increased by $1.6 million, or 19.7%, primarily due to the increase in mortgage loan fees and gains on sale of SBA loans, partially offset by a decrease in mortgage and SBA servicing income. Mortgage loan originations totaled $368.8 million 2

during the third quarter of 2021 compared to $120.3 million during the third quarter of 2020. There were no mortgage loan sales during the third quarter of 2021 or 2020.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2021 totaled $13.1 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 8.4%, from $12.1 million for the second quarter of 2021. This increase was primarily attributable to higher salaries and employee benefits. Compared to the third quarter of 2020, noninterest expense during the third quarter of 2021 increased by $3.0 million, or 29.2%, primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits and  loan related expenses.

The Company’s efficiency ratio was 34.8% for the third quarter of 2021 compared to 36.2% and 42.5% for the second quarter of 2021 and third quarter of 2020, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the efficiency ratio was 35.6% compared with 43.7% for the same period in 2020.

Income Tax Expense

The Company’s effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2021 was 23.4%, compared to 24.7% for the second quarter of 2021 and 23.7% for the third quarter of 2020.

Balance Sheet

Total Assets

Total assets were $2.75 billion at September 30, 2021, an increase of $232.4 million, or 9.2%, from $2.52 billion at June 30, 2021, and an increase of $1.01 billion, or 58.1%, from $1.74 billion at September 30, 2020. The $232.4 million increase in total assets at September 30, 2021 compared to June 30, 2021 was primarily due to increases in loans of $269.9 million and bank owned life insurance of $22.8 million, partially offset by a decrease in cash and due from banks of $58.3 million and a $2.6 million increase in the allowance for loan losses. The $1.01 billion increase in total assets at September 30, 2021 compared to September 30, 2020 was primarily due to increases in loans of $901.8 million, cash and due from banks of $141.7 million and bank owned life insurance of $23.5 million, partially offset by a $40.0 million decrease in securities purchased under agreements to resell, a $6.0 million decrease in the mortgage servicing asset and an increase in the allowance for loan losses of $7.1 million.

Loans

Loans held for investment were $2.36 billion at September 30, 2021, an increase of $269.9 million, or 12.9%, compared to $2.09 billion at June 30, 2021, and an increase of $901.8 million, or 61.8%, compared to $1.46 billion at September 30, 2020. The increase in loans held for investment at September 30, 2021 compared to June 30, 2021 was primarily due to a $287.8 million increase in residential mortgages, a $27.8 million increase in commercial real estate loans and a $5.5 million increase in construction and development loans, offset by a $52.0 million decrease in commercial and industrial loans primarily due to PPP loan forgiveness. Included in commercial and industrial loans are PPP loans totaling $42.0 million as of September 30, 2021. There were no loans classified as held for sale at September 30, 2021, June 30, 2021 or September 30, 2020.

Deposits

Total deposits were $2.11 billion at September 30, 2021, an increase of $137.0 million, or 6.9%, compared to total deposits of $1.97 billion at June 30, 2021, and an increase of $774.0 million, or 57.9%, compared to total deposits of $1.34 billion at September 30, 2020. The increase in total deposits at September 30, 2021 compared to June 30, 2021 was primarily due to the $22.3 million increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposits, $126.6 million increase in money market accounts and a $12.3 million increase in interest-bearing demand deposits, offset by a $24.6 million increase in time deposits.

Noninterest-bearing deposits were $640.3 million at September 30, 2021, compared to $618.1 million at June 30, 2021 and $460.7 million at September 30, 2020. Noninterest-bearing deposits constituted 30.3% of total deposits at September 30, 2021, compared to 31.3% at June 30, 2021 and 34.4% at September 30, 2020. Interest-bearing deposits were $1.47 billion at September 30, 2021, compared to $1.36 billion at June 30, 2021 and $877.1 million at September 30, 2020. Interest-bearing deposits constituted 69.7% of total deposits at September 30, 2021, compared to 68.7% at June 30, 2021 and 65.6% at September 30, 2020.

Asset Quality

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $2.6 million during the third quarter of 2021. Annualized net charge-offs to average loans for the third quarter of 2021 was 0.00%, compared to 0.02% for the second quarter of 2021 and 0.00% for the third quarter of 2020. We continue to include qualitative factors in our allowance for loan losses calculation in light of the continued economic uncertainties caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related variants, partially resulting in the increased provision expense recorded during the third quarter of 2021 along with the growth in our loan portfolio. The Company is not required to implement the provisions of the current expected credit losses accounting standard issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in the Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 until January 1, 2023, and is continuing to account for the allowance for loan losses under the incurred loss model.

Nonperforming assets totaled $13.1 million, or 0.47% of total assets, at September 30, 2021, a decrease of $1.1 million from $14.0 million, or 0.56% of total assets, at June 30, 2021, and a decrease of $4.4 million from $17.5 million, or 1.01% of total assets, at September 30, 2020. The decrease in nonperforming assets at September 30, 2021 compared to June 30, 2021 was primarily due to a $668,000 decrease in nonaccrual loans and a $282,000 decrease in other real estate owned.

Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.69% at September 30, 2021, compared to 0.66% at June 30, 2021 and 0.64% at September 30, 2020. Excluding outstanding PPP loans of $42.0 million as of September 30, 2021, $93.1 million as of June 30, 2021 and $96.9 million as of September 30, 2020, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.71% at September 30, 2021, 0.69% at June 30, 2021 and 0.68% at September 30, 2020. Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 189.44% at September 30, 2021, compared to 147.82% and 54.24% at June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively.

COVID-19

As of September 30, 2021, we had two non-SBA commercial customers with outstanding loan balances totaling $8.1 million that were under approved payment deferrals. This is a decline from the active payment deferrals as of June 30, 2021 that were granted to six non-SBA commercial customers with outstanding balances totaling $15.3 million. As of September 30, 2021, we had six SBA loans with outstanding gross loan balances totaling $11.7 million ($2.9 million unguaranteed book balance) that were under approved payment deferrals. 4

As of October 20, 2021, the SBA had granted forgiveness on (1) PPP loans totaling $93.5 million, or 96.4% of PPP loans funded from the first round of PPP funding under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, and (2) PPP loans totaling $24.8 million, or 39.9% of PPP loans funded under the Economic Aid Act.
