First Resource Bank Announces Second Quarter Results; Achieves Organic Loan Growth Of 7% For The Quarter, 17% Year-to-date
07/30/2021 - 08:00 AM
EXTON, Pa. , July 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- First Resource Bank (OTCQX: FRSB) announced financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2021 .
Glenn B. Marshall , CEO, stated, "We continue to see a reopening of our trade area as the economy recovers from the shutdowns that we all experienced in the second quarter of 2020. We were honored to participate in both rounds of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) which saved thousands of jobs and families in our community. First Resource Bank operates in a great market with a strong local economy and we are thrilled to see our customer base thrive and grow along with us."
Highlights for the second quarter of 2021 included:
Net income of $1.1 million , exceeding the prior year second quarter by 56% 7% loan growth during the second quarter, excluding PPP loan activity Total interest income grew 19% over the prior year second quarter Total interest expense declined 28% over the prior year second quarter Net interest margin improved 18 basis points during the quarter Named the Best Community Bank on the Main Line by readers of Main Line Today Earned the #1 ranking among medium-sized companies as a "Best Place to Work" by the Philadelphia Business Journal Completed a 5% stock dividend Marshall stated, "As our region embraced the vaccine, we saw a surge of loan opportunity in our market area. Our outstanding second quarter and six-month period loan growth came at a time when our PPP team was seeing positive results from their forgiveness efforts. During the second quarter we replaced our PPP loans that were forgiven with new organic loan growth. We are hopeful that both teams can continue to balance one another over the remainder of 2021."
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 was $1,056,574 , which compares to $905,664 for the previous quarter and $676,987 for the second quarter of the prior year.
Total interest income increased 11% when comparing the second quarter of 2021 to the first quarter of 2021. This increase was driven by 7% organic growth in loans, excluding PPP loans, as well as higher fees recognized as interest income in association with PPP loan forgiveness during the second quarter of 2021 as compared to the prior quarter. The Bank recognized $384 thousand in PPP fees in the first quarter of 2021 and $614 thousand in the second quarter of 2021 which represents both the amortization of fees for individual loans based on the original maturity schedule and the balance of fees recognized when the loan is forgiven by the Small Business Administration.
Total interest income rose 19% from $3,987,232 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to $4,742,205 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 . This increase was the result of 12% loan growth when comparing June 30, 2021 to a year prior, which increases to 26% loan growth when excluding PPP loans for both periods. Increased interest income from loan growth was offset by a 7 basis point decline in loan yields when comparing the second quarter of 2020 to the second quarter of 2021.
Total interest expense decreased 3% when comparing the second quarter of 2021 to the first quarter of 2021. This decrease was driven by an 8 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing deposits during the quarter. Interest expense on deposits continues to be actively managed to lower costs.
Total interest expense decreased 28% from $937,509 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to $678,419 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 . The vast majority of this decreased expense was related to an overall 61 basis point decline in the cost of interest-bearing deposits, led by a 25 basis point decrease in the cost of money market accounts and a 78 basis point decrease in the cost of certificates of deposit, year over year. Overall interest expense was also mitigated by strong growth in noninterest-bearing deposits, which increased 46% when comparing June 30, 2021 to the year prior.
Net interest income was $4,063,786 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $3,570,705 for the previous quarter, a 14% increase. The net interest margin increased 18 basis points from 3.59% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 to 3.77% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 . The overall yield on interest earning assets increased 10 basis points during the second quarter led by a 3 basis point increase in loan yields to 4.77% , aided by a higher loan to asset ratio at June 30, 2021 as compared to March 31, 2021 . The cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 8 basis points during the first quarter to 0.69% , with the majority of that decrease attributed to lower cost money market accounts and certificates of deposit. Continued growth in noninterest-bearing deposits fueled a decline in the total cost of deposits from 0.57% at March 31, 2021 to 0.50% at June 30, 2021 .
Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $7,634,491 , a 28% improvement over net interest income of $5,953,742 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 . This growth was driven by a 15% increase in loan interest income and a 40% decrease in deposit interest expense.
The provision for loan losses increased from $240,153 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $270,453 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 . The provision for loan losses increased from $51,045 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 , to $270,453 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 .
Marshall noted, "The provision for loan losses in the second quarter may look odd at first when you consider that credit quality is as strong as it's been since 2007 and total loans are almost level with the first quarter. When you get behind the numbers, the paid-off SBA guaranteed PPP loans required a very low reserve ratio as compared to organic loans that replaced them. The increased provision for loan losses in the second quarter is reflective of the strong organic loan growth in the quarter."
The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 0.87% at June 30, 2021 as compared to 0.83% at March 31, 2021 , 0.86% at December 31, 2020 and 0.76% at June 30, 2020 . Excluding PPP loans, which are 100% guaranteed by the SBA, the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 0.93% at June 30, 2021 , 0.95% at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and 0.91% at June 30, 2020 . Non-performing assets consisted of non-performing loans of $164 thousand at June 30, 2021 , a 57% decline from the prior quarter. Non-performing assets to total assets were 0.04% at June 30, 2021 , down from 0.09% in the prior quarter.
Non-interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 was $181,213 , as compared to $177,761 for the previous quarter and $136,534 for the second quarter of the prior year. There was no swap referral fee income received in the first or second quarters of 2021, as compared to $27,100 in the second quarter of 2020.
Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $358,974 as compared to $420,540 for the same period in the prior year. Swap referral fee income of $175,100 was received in the first six months of 2020 as compared to none in the first six months of 2021.
Non-interest expense increased $275 thousand , or 12% , in the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the prior quarter. The increase was primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits, advertising, data processing, and other costs, partially offset by a decrease in occupancy costs. Part of the increase in salaries and benefits expenses, data processing expenses and other costs are attributed to a significant technology enhancement project during the second quarter. Non-interest expense increased $358 thousand , or 16% , when comparing the second quarter of 2021 to the second quarter of 2020. This increase was primarily attributed to an increase in salaries and benefits costs, data processing and other costs. The technology enhancement project during the second quarter of 2021 included numerous one-time expenses in each of those categories.
Deposits grew a net $12.3 million , or 3% , from $382.1 million at March 31, 2021 to $394.4 million at June 30, 2021 . During the second quarter, noninterest-bearing deposits increased $18.0 million , or 17% , from $105.6 million at March 31, 2021 to $123.5 million at June 30, 2021 . Interest-bearing checking balances decreased $1.6 million , or 5% , from $31.8 million at March 31, 2021 to $30.2 million at June 30, 2021 . Money market deposits increased $4.6 million , or 3% , from $154.1 million at March 31, 2021 to $158.8 million at June 30, 2021 . Certificates of deposit decreased $8.7 million , or 10% , from $90.6 million at March 31, 2021 to $81.9 million at June 30, 2021 . Between June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 , total deposits grew 22% , with tremendous checking and money market growth partially offset by a decline in certificates of deposit.
President and Chief Financial Officer, Lauren C. Ranalli , stated, "We continue to focus internal resources on checking growth and those efforts continue to pay off. Growth in checking and money market deposits have allowed us to shed higher cost certificates of deposit as they mature, lowering our overall cost of funds and increasing our net interest margin. We continue to benefit from disruption in the market to gain checking relationships. Our success in this area is attributed to our award-winning customer service as evidenced by our 46% increase in noninterest-bearing checking balances year over year."
The loan portfolio increased by $921 thousand during the second quarter from $379.8 million at March 31, 2021 to $380.8 million at June 30, 2021 . Excluding PPP loan activity, the loan portfolio increased $23.1 million , or 7% , from $333.2 million at March 31, 2021 to $356.4 million at June 30, 2021 , with strong growth in commercial real estate, construction loans and commercial business loans partially offset by a decline in consumer loans. Year-to-date loan growth in 2021 was $41.8 million or 12% . Excluding PPP loan activity, year-to-date loan growth was $51.8 million , or 17% . The loan portfolio grew $41.8 million , or 12% from $339.0 million at June 30, 2020 to $380.8 million at June 30, 2021 . Excluding PPP loans, the loan portfolio grew $74.0 million , or 26% from June 30, 2020 to June 30, 2021 .
