Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2020 increased 11 basis points to 3.66% from 3.55% for the second quarter of 2020 primarily due to a 30 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a 13 basis point decrease in the reported yield on interest-earning assets.

Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2020 was $11.4 million, an increase of $771,000, or 7.2%, compared to the second quarter of 2020, primarily due to a $675,000 decrease in interest expense and a $96,000 increase in interest income.

Interest income on securities available for sale and other investments for the third quarter of 2020 increased $64,000, or 17.3%, compared to the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to a $38,000 increase in interest income on securities available for sale from investment purchases during the second and third quarters of 2020 and a $26,000 increase in dividend accrual on Federal Home Loan Bank stock.

Interest income from contractual interest rates on loans for the third quarter of 2020 increased $48,000, or 0.4% compared to the second quarter of 2020, reflecting an increase of $17.2 million, or 1.6% in the average balance of loans, partially offset by a 10 basis point decrease in the average contractual interest rate on loans. The amount of discount accretion on SBA loans for the third quarter of 2020 decreased $24,000 compared to the second quarter of 2020 due to a decrease in SBA loan payoffs. The reported interest income on loans, net of SBA discount accretions and other components, for the third quarter of 2020 increased $32,000, or 0.3%, compared to the second quarter of 2020.

Interest expense for the third quarter of 2020 decreased $675,000, or 29.7%, compared to the second quarter of 2020, primarily due to continued downward adjustments of the Bank’s deposit rates after the rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in March of 2020 and a decrease of $61.7 million, or 8.4%, in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities.

Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2020 decreased 47 basis points to 3.66% from 4.13% for the third quarter of 2019, primarily due to a 138 basis point decrease in the reported yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a 126 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities as a result of cumulative market rate cuts of 175 basis points by the Federal Reserve in the last quarter of 2019 and first quarter of 2020.

Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2020 increased $200,000, or 1.8%, to $11.4 million, compared to $11.2 million for the third quarter of 2019, primarily due to a $2.3 million decrease in interest expense, partially offset by a $2.1 million decrease in interest income.

Interest income on securities available for sale and other investments for the third quarter of 2020 decreased $399,000, or 47.8%, compared to the third quarter of 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a $362,000 decrease in interest income on Fed funds as a result of the aforementioned cumulative rate cuts.

Interest income from contractual interest rates on loans for the third quarter of 2020 decreased $1.8 million, or 13.2%, compared to the third quarter of 2019, reflecting a 127 basis point decrease in the average contractual interest rate on loans, primarily due to the aforementioned cumulative rate cuts, partially offset by an increase of $115.7 million, or 12.2% in the average balance of loans. The amount of discount accretion on SBA loans for the third quarter of 2020 decreased $328,000 compared to the third quarter of 2019, due to a decrease in SBA loan payoffs. The reported interest income on loans, net of SBA discount accretions and other components, for the third quarter of 2020 decreased $1.7 million, or 11.9%, compared to the third quarter of 2019.

Interest expense for the third quarter of 2020 decreased $2.3 million, or 59.0%, compared to the third quarter of 2019, primarily due to the Bank’s downward adjustments in deposit rates after the rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in March of 2020 and a decrease of $27.8 million, or 4.0%, in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities.

The Bank recorded $1.4 million in provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2020. Management has made further adjustments to the qualitative factors on all loan types during the third quarter of 2020 to reflect persistent adverse impacts on national, state, and local economies caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The increases in qualitative factors accounted for $1.2 million, or 80%, of provision for loan losses for the quarter. The Bank recorded provision for loan losses of $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2020 and $290,000 for the third quarter of 2019.

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2020 was $3.0 million, an increase of $959,000, or 46.5%, from $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2020, primarily due to an increase of $877,000 in gain on sale of loans and an increase of $69,000 in loan servicing fees from slower SBA loan payoffs.

Gain on sale of loans for the third quarter of 2020 was $1.8 million, an increase of $877,000, compared to $936,000 for the second quarter of 2020. The Bank sold $24.0 million in SBA loans with an average premium of 9.66% in the third quarter of 2020, compared to the sale of $14.9 million in SBA loans with an average premium of 7.94% in the second quarter of 2020.

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2020 was $3.0 million, an increase of $289,000, compared to $2.7 million for the third quarter of 2019, primarily due to an increase of $340,000 in loan servicing fees from slower SBA loan payoffs and an increase of $99,000 in gain on sale of loans, partially offset by a decrease of $140,000 in service charges on deposits. Gain on sale of loans for the third quarter of 2019 was $1.7 million from the sale of $22.2 million in SBA loans with an average premium of 8.85%.

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2020 was $8.0 million, an increase of $653,000, or 8.9%, compared to $7.3 million for the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $739,000 in salary and employee benefits and an increase of $115,000 in foundation donation and other contributions. The increase in salary and employee benefits was primarily due to a decrease in deferred loan origination costs. The deferred loan origination costs for the third quarter of 2020 was $612,000, a decrease of $801,000, compared to $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2020 with the origination of 924 SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans.

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2020 was $8.0 million, a decrease of $437,000, or 5.2%, compared to $8.4 million for the third quarter of 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $263,000 in salary and employee benefits, a decrease of $101,000 in promotion and advertising expenses, and a decrease of $182,000 in other expenses, partially offset by an increase of $133,000 in FDIC insurance and regulatory assessments expenses. The decrease in salary and employee benefits was primarily due to an increase in deferred loan origination costs. The deferred loan origination costs of $612,000 for the third quarter of 2020 was $339,000 higher than $273,000 for the third quarter of 2019, primarily due to more loan originations in the third quarter of 2020. The FDIC insurance and regulatory assessments expenses was lower during the second half of 2019 due to the small bank assessment credits that were applied. Management continues to monitor and manage overhead expenses as earnings have been adversely impacted by a lower rate environment and higher loan loss provisions in 2020.

Income tax provision was $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2020, $972,000 for the second quarter of 2020 and $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2019. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2020 was 28.9%, compared to 28.7% for the second quarter of 2020 and 23.6% for the third quarter of 2019. The higher effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019 was primarily due to realizing a lower amount of tax benefits resulting from the exercise of non-qualified stock options during the third quarter of 2020.
