FIRST QUARTER 2021 EARNINGS SUMMARY
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
The Company's first quarter 2021 net interest income increased $1.0 million or 17.07% as compared with the quarter ending March 31, 2020 and $240 thousand or 3.62%, compared with the quarter ending December 31, 2020. The increase from the same period a year ago was driven almost exclusively from revenue generation from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans while the increase over the trailing quarter was primarily driven from an increased level of investment securities.
The Company's net interest margin decreased by 32 basis points (bps) or 8.27% when compared to the quarter ending March 31, 2020, and was generally flat relative to the quarter ending December 31, 2020.
The 32 bps decrease compared to the same period a year ago was driven by a significant amount of the Company's earning assets re-pricing lower as a result of 150 bps reduction of the Federal Funds rate in March of 2020. The net interest margin remained flat relative to the trailing quarter due to a combination of exchanging incoming cash flows from prepaying residential mortgage loans and deposit growth for newly generated PPP loan originations and securities purchases.
Provision for Loan Losses
The Company did not make any provisions for loan losses in the quarter ending March 31, 2021, as compared to $825 thousand and $0 in the quarter ending March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2020, respectively. Uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, and the potential negative impact on our clients and asset quality dictated the provisions made in the same period a year ago. Improving economic conditions and diminished concern with the Company's asset quality eliminated the need for any additional provisions for loan losses in the trailing quarter of December 31, 2020.
Noninterest Expenses
The Company's first quarter 2021 non-interest expenses increased $423 thousand and $278 thousand or 9.41% and 5.99%, as compared with quarter ending March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2020, respectively.
The increases in both comparative periods is centered in salaries and benefits. In regards to the same period ending March 31, 2020, the addition of 11 employees, including a team of Relationship Managers in our San Luis Obispo market, the opening of our Santa Cruz branch, merit increases for all employees, and to a lesser extent, increases in various other general operating areas also contributed to the increased level of expenses.
The increase as compared to the trailing period of December 31, 2020 is primarily attributed to the transition expense of an executive officer.
Balance Sheet Summary
The Company's total assets increased $228.7 million or 35.42% to $874.4 million as compared to the quarter ending March 31, 2020.
Total loans outstanding totaled $619.4 million as of March 31, 2021. This represents an $88.9 million increase or 16.77% from the quarter ending March 31, 2020 outstanding balance of $530.5 million. The Company's loan growth was driven by $118.4 million in PPP loan originations, $18.8 million in organic loan growth, and partially offset by $48.3 in payoffs from our residential mortgage portfolio.
The investment portfolio increased $117.5 million or 184.34% to $181.2 million from an outstanding balance of $63.7 million as of March 31, 2020. As mentioned above, incoming cashflows from prepaying assets and deposit growth were also significantly deployed in bonds. The majority of the investments were made in mortgage-backed securities, floating rate securities, and to a lesser extent in municipal securities.
Total deposits totaled $787.8 million as of March 31, 2021. This represents a $215.8 million increase or 37.74% from the quarter ending March 31, 2020 outstanding balance of $572.0 million. Growth in noninterest-bearing demand deposit accounts accounted $148.4 million or 68.77% of the total deposit growth over the twelve months ending on March 31, 2021. The majority of this growth was associated with PPP loan proceeds which our customers deposited with the Bank.
The balance of the deposit growth was distributed among interest-bearing deposit accounts with the exception of time deposits which decreased by approximately $5.1 million to $14.3 million
Asset Quality
At March 31, 2021, non-performing assets were 0.35% of the Company's total assets, compared with 0.08% at March 31, 2020. At March 31, 2021, the allowance for loan losses was 1.43% of outstanding loans, compared to 1.40% at March 31, 2020, respectively. The Bank recorded net recoveries of $12 thousand in each of the first quarters of 2021 and 2020.
As of March 31, 2021, the Company does not have any outstanding loan deferments or forbearances stemming from COVID-19.
