Net income was $17.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of $563,000, or 3.3%, from $16.9 million for the third quarter of 2021.

This increase was due to an increase in net interest income of $11.2 million, an increase in noninterest income of $1.3 million and a decrease in provision for loan losses of $410,000, offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $1.4 million and an increase in provision for income taxes of $3.5 million.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Interest income totaled $30.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of $1.5 million, or 5.2%, from the previous quarter, primarily due to a $212.2 million increase in average loan balances. We recognized Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loan fee income of $708,000 during the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $1.9 million recognized during the third quarter of 2021. As compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, interest income for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased by $11.0 million, or 55.5%, primarily due to an increase in average loan balances of $931.3 million.

Interest expense totaled $1.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of $101,000, or 8.9%, from the previous quarter, primarily due to a $186.1 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits as deposit costs remained relatively flat. As compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2021 decreased by $175,000, or 12.4%, primarily due to a 28 basis points decrease in deposit costs.

The net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2021 was 4.15% compared to 4.57% for the previous quarter, a decrease of 42 basis points. The yield on average interest-earning assets for the fourth quarter of 2021 decreased by 43 basis points to 4.32% from 4.75% for the previous quarter, while the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities for the fourth quarter of 2021 decreased by four basis points to 0.24% compared with the previous quarter. Average earning assets increased by $385.6 million from the previous quarter, primarily due to an increase in average loans of $212.2 million and a $157.0 million increase in average interest-earning cash accounts. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $410.5 million from the previous quarter as average interest-bearing deposits increased by $186.1 million and average borrowings increased by $224.4 million. The inclusion of PPP loan average balances, interest and fees had a six basis points impact on both the yield on average loans and the net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2021.

As compared to the same period in 2020, the net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2021 decreased by 31 basis points to 4.15% from 4.46%, primarily due to a 48 basis point decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets of $2.83 billion and a 32 basis point decrease in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities of $2.03 billion. Average earning assets for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased by $1.19 billion from the fourth quarter of 2020, primarily due to a $931.3 million increase in average loans and a $248.1 million increase in average interest-earning cash accounts. Average interest-bearing liabilities for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased by $1.04 billion from the fourth quarter of 2020, driven by an increase in average interest-bearing deposits of $658.5 million and an increase in average borrowings of $376.9 million.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $7.5 million, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 21.4%, from the third quarter of 2021, primarily due to lower mortgage loan fees, mortgage and Small Business Administration ("SBA") servicing income and gains on sale of SBA loans, partially offset by an increase in other income. Mortgage loan originations totaled $237.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $368.8 million during the third quarter of 2021. During the fourth quarter of 2021, we recorded a $676,000 fair value adjustment charge on our SBA servicing asset and a $460,000 fair value impairment recovery on our mortgage servicing asset. These servicing asset adjustments had a $0.01 per share impact on our diluted earnings per share for the quarter.

Compared to the same period in 2020, noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased by $1.4 million, or 22.0%, primarily due to the increase in service charges on deposit accounts, mortgage servicing income and gains on sale of SBA loans, partially offset by a decrease in SBA servicing income.

Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2021 totaled $33.8 million, an increase of $6.6 million, or 24.2%, from the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to higher mortgage loan fees and gains on sale of SBA loans, offset by decreases in mortgage and SBA serving income and gains on sale of mortgage loans. Mortgage loan originations totaled $1.20 billion during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $484.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2021 totaled $12.5 million, a decrease of $599,000, or 4.6%, from $13.1 million for the third quarter of 2021. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower salaries and employee benefits mainly due to a decrease in commissions earned as loan volume declined during the quarter. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, noninterest expense during the fourth quarter of 2021 increased by $1.4 million, or 13.0%, primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits, loan related expenses and FDIC insurance premiums.

Noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 totaled $48.4 million, an increase of $7.3 million, or 17.8%, from $41.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to higher salaries and employee benefits due to increased commissions earned from higher loan volume, loan and other real estate owned related expenses and FDIC insurance premiums.

The Company's efficiency ratio was 33.7% for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to 34.8% and 45.1% for the third quarter of 2021 and fourth quarter of 2020, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the efficiency ratio was 35.1% compared with 44.0% for the same period in 2020.

The increase in loans held for investment at December 31, 2021 compared to September 30, 2021 was primarily due to a $160.4 million increase in residential mortgages and a $17.1 million increase in commercial real estate loans, offset by a $25.3 million decrease in construction and development loans and a $9.0 million decrease in commercial and industrial loans primarily due to PPP loan forgiveness. Included in commercial and industrial loans are PPP loans totaling $31.0 million as of December 31, 2021.

Noninterest-bearing deposits were $592.4 million at December 31, 2021, compared to $640.3 million at September 30, 2021 and $462.9 million at December 31, 2020.

Annualized net charge-offs to average loans for the fourth quarter of 2021 was 0.01%, compared to 0.00% for the third quarter of 2021 and 0.04% for the fourth quarter of 2020.

Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.67% at December 31, 2021, compared to 0.69% at September 30, 2021 and 0.62% at December 31, 2020.
