Cash Dividend and Capital

The Board of Directors approved a cash dividend for the second quarter of 2021.  The company will pay a $0.12 per share dividend to holders of the company's common stock.  This dividend is payable August 17, 2021 to shareholders of record as of August 3, 2021.  First Community President and CEO Mike Crapps commented, "Our entire board is pleased that our performance enables the company to continue its cash dividend for the 78^th consecutive quarter." 

On April 12, 2021, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to 375,000 shares of its common stock, which represents approximately 5% of the Company's 7,539,587 shares outstanding as of June 30, 2021.   Under the repurchase plan, the Company may repurchase shares from time to time.  No share repurchases have been made under the plan as of June 30, 2021.  Crapps noted, "This approved share repurchase plan provides us with some flexibility in managing capital going forward."     

Each of the regulatory capital ratios for the bank exceed the well capitalized minimum levels currently required by regulatory statute.  At June 30, 2021, the bank's regulatory capital ratios (Leverage, Tier I Risk Based and Total Risk Based) were 8.48%, 13.52%, and 14.66%, respectively.  This compares to the same ratios as of June 30, 2020 of 9.31%, 13.02%, and 14.03%, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, the bank's Common Equity Tier I ratio was 13.52% compared to 13.02% at June 30, 2020. 

Asset Quality / Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses 

Asset quality metrics remain strong.  The non-performing assets ratio as of June 30, 2021 was 0.62% of total assets and total past dues ratio was 0.49%.  One large loan relationship that impacted these calculations was brought current four business days after quarter end.  The non-performing assets ratio and total past dues ratio adjusted for this loan relationship would be 0.34% and 0.02%, respectively.  Net loan charge-offs excluding overdrafts for the quarter were $87 thousand and the year-to-date through June 30, 2021 were $95 thousand.  The ratio of classified loans plus OREO now stands at 9.45% of total bank regulatory risk-based capital as of June 30, 2021. 

Mr. Crapps commented, "Our credit metrics continue to indicate the current strong quality of our loan portfolio."

Balance Sheet                   

Total loans increased during the second quarter by $9.3 million, which is an annualized growth rate of 4.3%.  Total loans, excluding PPP loans and a related credit facility, increased during the second quarter by $24.7 million which is an annualized growth rate of 12.3%.  Commercial loan production was $61.1 million during the second quarter compared to $40.2 million in the first quarter of 2021. 

Total deposits were $1.290 billion at June 30, 2021 compared to $1.271 billion at March 31, 2021.  Pure deposits, which are defined as total deposits less certificates of deposits, increased $19.0 million, an annualized growth rate of 6.7%, to $1.162 billion at June 30, 2021 from $1.143 billion at March 31, 2021.  Securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which are related to customer cash management accounts or business sweep accounts, were relatively flat at $60.5 million at June 30, 2021 compared to 60.3 million at March 31, 2021.  Costs of deposits decreased on a linked quarter basis to 0.14% in the second quarter of 2021 from 0.17% in the first quarter of the year.  Cost of funds also decreased on a linked quarter basis to 0.17% in the second quarter of 2021 from 0.21% in the first quarter of the year.

Net Interest Income/Net Interest Margin

Net interest income increased $525 thousand or 5.0% to $11.092 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to first quarter net interest income of $10.567 million.  Year-over-year, net interest income increased $1.3 million or 13.8% from $9.743 million in the second quarter of 2020.  Second quarter net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, was 3.20% compared to 3.23% in the first quarter of the year.  Second quarter net interest margin, excluding PPP loans, was 3.11% compared to 3.16% in the first quarter of the year.

Mr. Crapps commented, "Our strategy of multiple revenue streams continues to serve us well as we focus our efforts to accelerate growth in these lines of business." 

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $9.878 million in the second quarter of 2021, compared to $9.540 million in the first quarter of the year.  Expenses in the Other category were the main contributor to the increase, including some non-recurring legal expenses as well as one-time costs related to product and service enhancements and expenses associated with the conversion to a new mortgage origination system.

Certain financial information presented above is determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures include "Tangible book value per common share," "Tangible common shareholders' equity to tangible assets," "Return on average tangible common equity," "Pre-tax, pre-provision earnings," "Net interest margin excluding PPP Loans," "Net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis excluding PPP Loans," "Non-PPP Loans and Related Credit Facilities," and "Non-PPP Loans."

• "Tangible book value per common share" is defined as total equity reduced by recorded intangible assets divided by total common shares outstanding.
• "Tangible common shareholders' equity to tangible assets" is defined as total common equity reduced by recorded intangible assets divided by total assets reduced by recorded intangible assets.
• "Return on average tangible common equity" is defined as net income on an annualized basis divided by average total equity reduced by average recorded intangible assets.
• "Pre-tax, pre-provision earnings" is defined as net interest income plus non-interest income, reduced by non-interest expense.
• "Net interest margin excluding PPP Loans" is defined as annualized net interest income less annualized interest income on PPP Loans divided by average earning assets less the average balance of PPP Loans.
• "Net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis excluding PPP Loans" is defined as annualized net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis less annualized interest income on PPP Loans divided by average earning assets less the average balance of PPP Loans.
• "Non-PPP Loans and Related Credit Facilities" is defined as Total Loans less PPP Related Credit Facilities and PPP Loans.
• "Non-PPP Loans" is defined as Total Loans less PPP Loans.
• "Non-PPP Loans and Related Credit Facilities Growth - Dollars" is calculated by taking the difference between two time periods compared for Total Loans less PPP Loans and PPP Related Credit Facilities. "Non-PPP Loans and Related Credit Facilities – Annualized Growth Rate" is calculated by (i) dividing "Non-PPP Loans and Related Credit Facilities Loan Growth - Dollars" by the number of days between the two time periods compared (ii) times the number of days in the year (iii) divided by the prior time period Non-PPP Loans and Related Credit Facilities balance.
• "Non-PPP Loans Growth - Dollars" is calculated by taking the difference between two time periods compared for Total Loans less PPP Loans. "Non-PPP Loans – Annualized Growth Rate" is calculated by (i) dividing "Non-PPP Loans Loan Growth - Dollars" by the number of days between the two time periods compared (ii) times the number of days in the year (iii) divided by the prior time period Non-PPP Loans balance.

Our management believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful because they enhance the ability of investors and management to evaluate and compare our operating results from period-to-period in a meaningful manner. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the company's results as reported under GAAP.
