Material changes and notable items

  • Profit improved substantially, primarily reflecting a $5.1 million first-half reversal of the loan-loss provision, versus a $12.7 million provision in the first half of 2020, as management cited improved economic expectations and loan prepayments. Q2 2021 included a $3.4 million reversal.
  • The allowance for loan losses fell to $26.7 million, or 1.39% of loans, from $33.0 million, or 1.66%, at year-end. Nonperforming assets declined to $15.1 million, or 0.55% of assets, from $20.0 million, or 0.77%.
  • Loans declined, including a $23.6 million reduction in PPP balances; deposits increased, led by demand, savings, money-market and NOW accounts. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits fell to 0.36% in Q2 from 0.78% a year earlier.
  • Noninterest expense increased, including higher data-processing, compensation and unfunded-commitment credit-loss costs. A $457,000 loss on asset sales included the sale-leaseback of a Mississippi branch; management expects the transaction to reduce future branch operating costs.
  • COVID-19-related payment deferrals were $7.0 million at quarter-end, down from $558.8 million a year earlier. Of loans that exited deferral, $443.7 million, or 99%, were current and performing at June 30, 2021.

Outlook, risks and contingencies

The filing provides no specific earnings or financial guidance. Management said the continuing effects of COVID-19 remain uncertain. Risks identified include weaker demand, increased delinquencies and foreclosures, declining collateral values, additional credit-loss provisions, interest-rate effects on asset yields and funding costs, cybersecurity exposure, and potentially higher FDIC premiums. The company had $832.4 million of additional FHLB borrowing capacity and $282.1 million of certificates of deposit maturing within 12 months. Off-balance-sheet commitments included $282.1 million available on lines of credit, $141.6 million of undisbursed loans in process and $162.6 million of commitments to originate loans. Management did not expect ordinary-course litigation to materially affect financial condition or results.

Important facts for investors to verify

  • Whether credit quality and the lower allowance remain adequate as economic conditions and borrower performance evolve; the filing cautions that future ACL adjustments may be necessary.
  • How much PPP fee income and loan forgiveness contribute to future net interest income, and how margins perform excluding PPP effects.
  • Whether loan balances stabilize and deposit growth persists, including the renewal rate and cost of the $282.1 million of CDs maturing within a year.
  • Whether the branch sale-leaseback produces the anticipated expense savings and whether noninterest expense growth moderates.
  • Future draws on lending commitments and the related liquidity and credit-loss implications.
