Curtis Griffith, South Plains’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “I am very pleased with our team’s performance again in the third quarter and would like to thank our employees for their hard work as they continue to deliver outstanding service to our customers which continues to translate into strong results for the Bank. This can be seen in our financial performance as we grew loans by 5.5% in the third quarter of 2021 and have benefited from a strong Texas economy. We are also benefiting from our plan to grow our lending team by more than 30% over a two-year timeframe, as the lenders who we have recruited have begun growing their loan portfolios. In fact, we are seeing an acceleration in activity in several of our key markets, like Houston, where we have recently hired a new market leader. We expect to continue redeploying our excess liquidity into higher yielding loans, which we believe will drive an acceleration to net interest income and offset the eventual decline in mortgage revenue as activity normalizes in future periods. We remain very optimistic with what the future holds for South Plains and continue to see our shares trading below intrinsic value. As a result, we were aggressive in the third quarter having repurchased approximately 190,000 shares under our previously-announced $10 million share repurchase plan.”

Results of Operations, Quarter Ended September 30, 2021

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $31.2 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $29.6 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $31.3 million for the third quarter of 2020. Net interest margin was 3.58% for the third quarter of 2021, compared to 3.42% for the second quarter of 2021 and 3.82% for the third quarter of 2020. The average yield on loans was 4.99% for the third quarter of 2021, compared to 4.97% for the second quarter of 2021 and 5.08% for the third quarter of 2020. The average cost of deposits was 25 basis points for the third quarter of 2021, representing a two basis point decrease from the second quarter of 2021 and a 9 basis point decrease from the third quarter of 2020.

Interest income was $34.4 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $33.0 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $34.5 million for the third quarter of 2020. Interest income increased $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2021 from the second quarter of 2021 due primarily to an increase of $1.5 million in loan interest income as a result of the growth of $82.9 million in average loans outstanding during the third quarter of 2021. In the third quarter of 2021, interest and fees on Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans declined $405 thousand compared to the second quarter of 2021, as the average balance of PPP loans decreased $70.3 million during the third quarter of 2021 due to PPP loan forgiveness payments received from the SBA during the quarter. Interest income was flat in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020 as average interest-earning assets were $199.2 million higher and the related yield was 26 basis points lower in the third quarter of 2021. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company recognized $1.7 million in deferred PPP-related SBA fees. At September 30, 2021, the Company had $2.9 million of deferred PPP fees that have not been accreted to income, the majority of which are expected to be recognized as PPP loans continue to be forgiven by the SBA over the next several quarters.


Interest expense was $3.3 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $3.2 million for the third quarter of 2020. Interest expense declined 4.8% as compared to the second quarter of 2021 as a result of lower average interest-bearing deposits and a reduction in interest rates on these deposits. Interest expense was consistent as compared to the third quarter of 2020, with a reduction in interest rates on interest-bearing deposits offset by an increase in the overall cost of long-term borrowings. The increase in the cost of long-term borrowings was due to the issuance of $50 million in subordinated notes at the end of the third quarter of 2020.

Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense

Noninterest income was $25.8 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $22.3 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $31.7 million for the third quarter of 2020. The growth from the second quarter of 2021 was primarily due to the seasonal increase of $2.6 million in income from insurance activities and an increase of $1.1 million in mortgage banking activities revenue. The growth in mortgage banking revenues was mainly the result of an increase of $470 thousand in the fair value adjustment to the Company’s mortgage servicing rights as mortgage interest rates began to rise in September 2021. The decrease in noninterest income for the third quarter of 2021 as compared to the third quarter of 2020 was primarily due to a decline of $6.6 million in mortgage banking activities revenue as a result a reduction of $75 million in interest rate lock commitments and a decline in gain on sale margins. This decrease was partially offset by increases in income from insurance activities and bank card services and interchange fees as compared to the third quarter of 2020.

Noninterest expense was $38.1 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $36.8 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $36.0 million for the third quarter of 2020. The growth from the second quarter of 2021 was primarily the result of an increase of $739 thousand in personnel expense due to the payment of an additional $1.2 million in commissions on insurance activities and a reduction in mortgage commissions related to an decline in mortgage production. There was also a $397 thousand increase net occupancy expense from the second quarter of 2021, primarily the result of higher repairs and maintenance expense related to several projects, additional rent expense as the Company has increased leased space at several locations, and higher seasonal utility costs. The increase in noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2021 as compared to the third quarter of 2020 was primarily driven by a $444 thousand increase in personnel expense, which is reflective of the Company’s stated initiative of growing its loan officer capacity. There were also smaller increases in mortgage related expenses, bank card expenses, technology costs, and travel related expenses as compared to the third quarter of 2020.

As part of the Bank’s information technology roadmap, management is implementing a process to begin transitioning the Company’s computing and data storage to the cloud, which is expected to deliver increased security, more seamless maintenance, and lower costs. The Bank is also refocusing its advertising to digital media to improve new customer lead generation. The Bank’s technology initiatives are expected to modestly add to noninterest expense and started in the third quarter of 2021.

Loan Portfolio and Composition

Loans held for investment were $2.43 billion as of September 30, 2021, compared to $2.30 billion as of June 30, 2021 and $2.29 billion as of September 30, 2020. The $125.6 million, or 5.5%, increase during the third quarter of 2021 as compared to the second quarter of 2021 was primarily the result of organic net loan growth of $177.6 million, partially offset by a decrease from SBA forgiveness and repayments of $52.0 million in PPP loans during the third quarter of 2021. The organic loan growth remained relationship-focused and occurred in a majority of loan segments, with the largest volume growth in multifamily properties, agricultural production loans, and direct energy loans. As of September 30, 2021, loans held for investment increased $140.8 million, or 6.2%, from September 30, 2020, attributable to organic loan growth experienced in each quarter of 2021, partially offset by SBA forgiveness or repayments, net of originations, of $149.6 million on PPP loans.

Agricultural production loans were $119.3 million as of September 30, 2021, compared to $96.2 million as of June 30, 2021 and $133.9 million as of September 30, 2020. The increase from the second quarter of 2021 is due to typical seasonal funding on these agricultural production loans. The decrease from the third quarter of 2020 is primarily due to the loss of several large agricultural loan customers.

Deposits and Borrowings

Deposits totaled $3.21 billion as of September 30, 2021, compared to $3.16 billion as of June 30, 2021 and $2.94 billion as of September 30, 2020. Deposits increased by $53.8 million, or 1.7%, in the third quarter of 2021 from June 30, 2021. The largest increase in deposits in the third quarter of 2021 was experienced in non-personal demand accounts. As of September 30, 2021, deposits increased $268.4 million, or 9.1%, from September 30, 2020. The increase in deposits since September 30, 2020 is primarily a result of organic growth as well as existing customers depositing funds received from PPP loan advances, stimulus checks, and generally maintaining higher liquidity in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.


Noninterest-bearing deposits were $1.05 billion as of September 30, 2021, compared to $998.9 million as of June 30, 2021 and $906.1 million as of September 30, 2020. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 32.8% of total deposits as of September 30, 2021. The change in noninterest-bearing deposit balances at September 30, 2021 compared to June 30, 2021 was an increase of $55.3 million, or 5.5%. The change in noninterest-bearing deposit balances at September 30, 2021 compared to September 30, 2020 was an increase of $148.2 million, or 16.4%. The changes from both compared periods is primarily a result of organic growth as well as existing customers increasing their deposit balances.

Asset Quality

As part of the Bank’s efforts to support its customers and protect the Bank as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bank has provided borrowers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic with relief by offering varying forms of loan modifications including 90-day payment deferrals, 6-month interest only terms, or in certain select cases periods of longer than 6 months of interest only. As of September 30, 2021, total active loan modifications attributed to COVID-19 were $16.4 million, or 0.7% of the Company’s loan portfolio, down from $36.6 million, or 1.6% of the Company’s loan portfolio, at June 30, 2021. Approximately 97% of these active modified loans at September 30, 2021 are in the hotel portfolio and have original modified terms that extended up to 18 months. We expect that these remaining modified loans will return to full payment status at the end of their respective modification periods.

The Company did not record a provision for loan losses in the third quarter of 2021, compared to a negative provision for loan losses of $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2021 and a provision for loan losses of $6.1 million for the third quarter of 2020. While the Company experienced growth in the loan portfolio and classified loans increased by 7% in the third quarter of 2021, the Company determined that no provision for loan losses was necessary in the third quarter of 2021 in light of the continued general improvement in the economy and a decline in the amount of loans that are actively under a modification. This increase in classified loans resulted from one credit, which was resolved in the fourth quarter of 2021 with no loss to the Company. There is continued uncertainty from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the full extent of the impact on the economy and the Bank’s customers remains unknown at this time. Accordingly, additional provisions for loan losses may be necessary in future periods.

The ratio of allowance for loan losses to loans held for investment was 1.76% as of September 30, 2021, compared to 1.87% as of June 30, 2021 and 2.01% as of September 30, 2020. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to non-PPP loans held for investment was 1.81% as of September 30, 2021.

The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets as of September 30, 2021 was 0.32%, compared to 0.37% as of June 30, 2021 and 0.46% at September 30, 2020. Annualized net charge-offs were 0.03% for the third quarter of 2021, compared to 0.01% for the second quarter of 2021 and 0.10% for the third quarter of 2020.
