Income Statement

Net income for the quarter was $4.3 million compared to $4.5 million for the linked quarter and $3.2 million for the same quarter last year. The decrease over the linked quarter is primarily due to merger expenses of $389,000 before tax or $348,000 after tax. The increase over the third quarter of 2020 is mostly driven by an increase in net interest income and the reduction in provision for loan losses, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense.

Interest income increased to $12.8 million versus $12.5 million for the linked quarter and increased from $11.3 million compared to the third quarter of 2020. The increase over the linked quarter is primarily a result of an increase in the loan yield from 4.80% in the linked quarter to 4.95% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Interest expense declined to $484,000 as compared to $490,000 over the linked quarter due to a decline in our cost of funds to 16 basis points (bps) from 17 bps last quarter.  In addition, the decrease in interest expense was $220,000 over the same quarter last year due to a decline in our cost of funds by 9 basis points.

Included in interest income are fees earned on Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") Loans of approximately $878,000 in the third quarter versus $764,000 in the linked quarter and $449,000 in the third quarter of 2020.  

Net interest Margin (NIM) declined slightly to 3.72% compared to 3.82% for the linked quarter and increased as compared to 3.47% for the third quarter of 2020. NIM improved over the same quarter last year primarily due to the decrease in the cost of funds by 9 basis points. Yield on loans improved to 4.95% in Q3 from 4.80% for the linked quarter.

Total noninterest expense increased over the linked quarter by 7.1% or $452,000, and increased over the same quarter last year by approximately $1.2 million. The increase over the linked quarter was primarily a result of merger expenses of $389,000.  The increase over the same quarter last year is predominantly a result of increased employee expenses. We continue to maintain our key expense ratios at consistently low levels with efficiency ratio being 53.20% in Q3 while our burden ratio and noninterest expense to average assets were 1.82% and 1.96% respectively.

Balance Sheet

Total assets at September 30, 2021 increased to $1.42 billion as compared to $1.37 billion for the linked quarter.  The increase was $44.2 million or 3.22% as a result of an increase in total federal funds sold and were funded by an increase in deposits. 

Total deposits (excluding brokered deposits) at September 30, 2021 were $1.20 billion, an increase of $56.2 million or 4.90% over the linked quarter. Total deposits (excluding brokered deposits) increased year to date by $167.5 million or 16.18%.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2021 the bank acquired $60.0 million in low cost brokered deposits to partially fund PPP loans and pay down advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Brokered deposits at September 30, 2021 were $30.0 million. 

Total loans (excluding PPP loans) at September 30, 2021 were $759.5 million, an increase of $2.0 million over the linked quarter and $56.9 million or 8.10% year to date. The increase over the linked quarter includes a reduction of approximately $6.0 million in a line of credit provided to a local partner CDFI specifically and exclusively for the funding of PPP loans.

Total PPP loans were $61.4 million at September 30, 2021 compared to $111.3 million at June 30, 2021.

Asset Quality 

Non-performing assets decreased to $4.5 million or 0.31% of total assets at September 30, 2021 compared to 0.35% at June 30, 2021.

Based on our standard analysis of portfolio trends and considerations for stabilizing economic conditions of our primary industries, we determined a provision for loan losses was not required for the quarter. As a result, our allowance as a percentage of total loans (excluding both PPP and acquired loans) declined to 1.34% at September 30, 2021 compared to 1.36% at June 30, 2021. 

At the end of the third quarter all loans that were previously in our payment deferral program have resumed scheduled payments.

Per the table below, both classified accrual and classified nonaccrual loan balances declined through the quarter. Total classified loans as a percentage of total loans, excluding PPP loans, declined to 1.60%.  The percentage including PPP loans slightly increased to 1.48% due to the reduction in PPP loans in the third quarter.
