COVID-19 UPDATE

Loan Modifications

As of March 31, 2021, the outstanding balance of loans modified as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic totaled $16.7 million, a decline of 62% from $44.1 million at December 31, 2020. Of those modified loans at March 31, 2021, $3.2 million were in their first deferral period while $13.5 million are in, or being processed for, an additional deferral.

SBA PPP Loans

On March 30, 2021, President Biden signed into law the PPP Extension Act of 2021, which provided an extension to May 31, 2021 for qualifying businesses to apply for a PPP loan and provided an additional 30 days for the SBA to process pending PPP loan applications. We expect the Company's volume of PPP loan originations will decline after March 31, 2021 compared to the level of originations during the first quarter of 2021.

INCOME STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income decreased to $38.6 million in the first quarter of 2021 from $39.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 as higher average earning asset volumes were offset by a 3 basis point decline in the net interest margin. In addition, net PPP loan fee income added $4.4 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to $3.1 million in the linked quarter, whereas loan purchase discount accretion was $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2021, down from $1.5 million in the linked quarter.

Average interest earning assets increased $81.1 million to $5.2 billion in the first quarter of 2021, compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, as cash on hand and cash inflows from net loan pay-downs and deposit activity was used to purchase debt securities. The mix of interest earning assets shifted further to debt securities as non-PPP loan demand continued to be soft and line utilization was low.

The Company's tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.10% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to 3.13% in the linked quarter, as lower earning asset yields were only partially offset by a reduction in average funding costs. Total earning asset yields decreased 9 bps from the linked quarter, reflecting the aforementioned shift in earning asset mix to debt securities that generally have lower yields than our loan portfolio. The cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased 8 bps to 0.56%, primarily as a result of interest bearing deposit costs of 0.40%, which declined 7 bps from the linked quarter.

"Although our balance sheet continues to grow thanks to higher deposit balances, thus generating more net interest income, low loan demand has necessitated purchasing investment securities with these deposits. We were helped in the quarter by a slightly steeper yield curve, but this yield spread remains historically narrow," stated Mr. Funk.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2021 increased $1.2 million, or 11%, from the linked quarter. The increase was due primarily to a $0.8 million increase in loan revenue and an increase of $0.3 million in investment services and trust activities revenue. The increase in loan revenue was due primarily to a $0.9 million increase in the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in loan sale gains. Investment services and trust activities revenue reflected the earnings benefit from increased equity market valuations and fees collected in the normal course of those lines of business.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2021 decreased $4.2 million, or 13.2%, from the linked quarter due primarily to decreases in other, legal and professional, and compensation and employee benefits of $1.7 million, $1.3 million, and $0.7 million, respectively. The decrease in other noninterest expense was primarily due to a $0.8 million loss on the termination of our cash flow hedge that was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2020, which did not recur in the first quarter of 2021, coupled with a reduction in tax credit partnership investment amortization of $0.6 million. The decrease in legal and professional expenses was primarily due to a $0.6 million fee incurred during the fourth quarter of 2020 related to a large contract renewal, which did not recur in the first quarter of 2021, coupled with an overall decline in legal and professional fees paid for regulatory, personnel and other services. The decrease in compensation and employee benefits reflected a $0.9 million benefit from SBA PPP loan origination costs which are deferred and amortized over the life of the loan to which they relate, coupled with a decline of $0.5 million in commission and incentive expense. Partially offsetting these decreases in compensation and employee benefits were increased salary and benefit costs of $0.7 million which stemmed from normal annual increases. Expense control was the primary driver to improvement in the Company's efficiency ratio, which decreased 8.92% to 50.77%, as compared to the linked quarter efficiency ratio of 59.69%.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 21.2% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to 19.6% in the linked quarter. The effective income tax rate in the first quarter of 2021 reflected an increase in income taxes based on the statutory rate and state income taxes, net of federal income tax benefits primarily due to the net income earned during the quarter, offset by benefits related to tax-exempt interest and bank-owned life insurance. The effective income tax rate for the full year 2021 is expected to be in the range of 20-22%.

Mr. Funk noted, "Loan demand remains weak in most areas of our geographic footprint. This is evidenced by credit line utilization of only 32% during the quarter compared to 46% in the first quarter of 2020. We believe loan demand will improve as the national economy opens up."

As of March 31, 2021, the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") was $50.7 million, or 1.51% of loans held for investment, net of unearned income, compared with $55.5 million, or 1.59%, at December 31, 2020. After excluding net PPP loans, the ACL as a percentage of loans held for investment, net of unearned income, decreased to 1.63%(1) as of March 31, 2021, from 1.72%(1) at December 31, 2020. The decline in the ACL during the first quarter reflected overall improvements in the economic forecast and an improved credit profile outlook when compared to the linked quarter.

CAPITAL

Effective March 31, 2020, we elected the 5-year phase-in option allowed under the interim final rule (IFR) issued by the federal banking regulatory agencies that delays the estimated impact on regulatory capital stemming from the implementation of CECL. The IFR allows the add back of 100% of the capital effect from the day one CECL transition adjustment and 25% of the capital effect from subsequent increases in the allowance for credit losses through the two-year period ending December 31, 2021. This cumulative amount will then be reduced from capital over the subsequent three-year period.

We and our representatives may, from time to time, make written or oral statements that are “forward-looking” and provide information other than historical information. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from any results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statement. These factors include, among other things, the factors listed below. Forward-looking statements, which may be based upon beliefs, expectations and assumptions of our management and on information currently available to management, are generally identifiable by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “plans,” “goals,” “intend,” “project,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “may” or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Additionally, we undertake no obligation to update any statement in light of new information or future events, except as required under federal securities law.

Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors that could have an impact on our ability to achieve operating results, growth plan goals and future prospects include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including its potential effects on the economic environment, our customers and our operations, as well as any changes to federal, state, or local government laws, regulations, or orders in connection with the pandemic; (2) government intervention in the U.S. financial system in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the effects of recent legislative, tax, accounting and regulatory actions and reforms, including the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 and the American Rescue Plan; (3) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial results, including possible lost revenue and increased expenses (including the cost of capital), as well as possible goodwill impairment charges; (4) credit quality deterioration or pronounced and sustained reduction in real estate market values causing an increase in the allowance for credit losses, an increase in the credit loss expense, and a reduction in net earnings; (5) the effects of interest rates, including on our net income and the value of our securities portfolio; (6) changes in the economic environment, competition, or other factors that may affect our ability to acquire loans or influence the anticipated growth rate of loans and deposits and the quality of the loan portfolio and loan and deposit pricing; (7) fluctuations in the value of our investment securities; (8) governmental monetary and fiscal policies; (9) changes in and uncertainty related to benchmark interest rates used to price loans and deposits, including the expected elimination of LIBOR; (10) legislative and regulatory changes, including changes in banking, securities, trade, and tax laws and regulations and their application by our regulators; (11) the ability to attract and retain key executives and employees experienced in banking and financial services; (12) the sufficiency of the allowance for credit losses to absorb the amount of actual losses inherent in our existing loan portfolio; (13) our ability to adapt successfully to technological changes to compete effectively in the marketplace; (14) credit risks and risks from concentrations (by geographic area and by industry) within our loan portfolio; (15) the effects of competition from other commercial banks, thrifts, mortgage banking firms, consumer finance companies, credit unions, securities brokerage firms, insurance companies, money market and other mutual funds, financial technology companies, and other financial institutions operating in our markets or elsewhere or providing similar services; (16) the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of allowances for credit losses and estimation of values of collateral and various financial assets and liabilities; (17) the risks of mergers, including, without limitation, the related time and costs of implementing such transactions, integrating operations as part of these transactions and possible failures to achieve expected gains, revenue growth and/or expense savings from such transactions; (18) volatility of rate-sensitive deposits; (19) operational risks, including data processing system failures or fraud; (20) asset/liability matching risks and liquidity risks; (21) the costs, effects and outcomes of existing or future litigation; (22) changes in general economic, political, or industry conditions, nationally, internationally or in the communities in which we conduct business; (23) changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by state and federal regulatory agencies and the Financial Accounting Standards Board; (24) war or terrorist activities, widespread disease or pandemic, or other adverse external events, which may cause deterioration in the economy or cause instability in credit markets; (25) the effects of cyber-attacks; (26) the imposition of tariffs or other domestic or international governmental policies impacting the value of the agricultural or other products of our borrowers; and (27) other risk factors detailed from time to time in Securities and Exchange Commission filings made by the Company.
