Pacific Financial Corp Earns $1.6 Million, or $0.15 per Diluted Share, for Second Quarter of 2022; Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.13 per Share


ABERDEEN, Wash., July 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pacific Financial Corporation (OTCQX: PFLC), (“Pacific Financial”) or the (“Company”), the holding company for Bank of the Pacific (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $1.6 million, or $0.15 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $1.7 million, or $0.16 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2022, and $3.7 million, or $0.36 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2021. There was no provision for loan losses booked during the second and first quarters of 2022. Included in earnings for the second quarter of 2021 was the recapture of $1.6 million from the provision for loan losses. For the first six months of 2022, net income was $3.3 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared to $8.0 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2021. There were no provision for loan losses in the first half of 2022, compared to a recapture of $3.0 million from the provision for loan losses in the first half of 2021. All results are unaudited.

The board of directors of Pacific Financial declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per share on July 20, 2022. The dividend will be payable on August 25, 2022 to shareholders of record on August 11, 2022.

“We knew coming into 2022 that earnings were going to be under significant pressure the first half of the year due to declining mortgage volume, diminishing PPP revenue and lower net interest margin from a high liquidity position. However, with increases in interest rates, particularly in the 2nd quarter and expected to continue in the 3rd quarter, we are positioned well for a rising rate environment,” said Denise Portmann, President and Chief Executive Officer. “During the current quarter, we began to see the positive impact of rising interest rates with the expansion of our net interest income, excluding PPP interest and fees. At the same time, our deposit costs remained low and our on-balance sheet liquidity and deposit mix should help mitigate potential rising deposit costs.”

“While loan balances declined during the quarter with PPP loan forgiveness and continued elevated payoffs, loan origination volume has steadily increased. We continue to focus on pursuing opportunities within our markets; building existing customer relationships as well as cultivating new customer relationships,” said Portmann. “Our asset quality metrics remain strong, largely due to our disciplined and strong underwriting standards; nonperforming assets decreased 34% from a year ago, while especially mentioned adversely classified loans were down 33% from a year ago. With a balance sheet well positioned for a rising interest rate environment, together with a large core deposit base, strong regulatory capital ratios, excellent credit quality and continued focus on loan growth opportunities, we believe we have a good foundation from which to continue to grow our franchise.”

Income Statement Review

Net interest income was $8.8 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $8.3 million for the first quarter of 2022, and $9.0 million for the second quarter of 2021. During the quarter, the recognition of deferred loan fee income due from PPP loan repayments continued to decline with amortized PPP fees and interest totaling $222,000, $738,000 and $1.4 million, for the quarters ended June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. For the first six months of 2022, net interest income was $17.1 million, compared to $18.2 million for the first six months of 2021 and PPP interest and fees was $960,000 and $3.0 million, respectively.

Net interest margin (“NIM”), excluding PPP loans, was 2.82% for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 2.50% for the first quarter of 2022, and 2.83% for the second quarter of 2021. In March 2022, in response to inflation, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) of the Federal Reserve System began increasing the target range for the federal funds rate by implementing a 25 basis point increase. During the second quarter of 2022, the FOMC increased the target range for the federal funds rate by an additional 125 basis points to a range of 1.50% to 1.75%. The increase in average yields on interest-earnings assets during the current quarter reflects the lagging benefit of variable rate interest-earnings assets beginning to reprice higher as well as the deployment of a portion of lower yielding federal funds sold into higher-yield investment securities. In addition, rising interest rates positively impacted yields on loans, excluding PPP loans, yields on investment securities and yields on interest bearing deposits which resulted in an increased net interest margin.

Average loan yields, excluding PPP loans, for the current quarter were 4.57% compared to the linked quarter of 4.45%, and were 4.58% for the second quarter of 2021. Yields on investment securities also increased during the quarter to 1.96% compared to 1.72% for the first quarter 2022, and declined from 2.12% for the second quarter 2021. Since 12/31/2020, investment securities have increased 119% or $149 million as a result of securities purchased both in 2021 and 2022. Interest income from investment securities and federal funds sold increased $825,000 and $1.2 million for the current quarter compared to the linked and year-over-year quarters. “The current higher rate environment has had a favorable impact on new loan production pricing as well yields on investment securities purchases. This impact combined with impact on loans, federal funds sold and investment securities repricing should support further margin expansion, commented Carla Tucker, Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer.” For the first six months of 2022, the NIM, excluding PPP loans, was 2.66% compared to 2.93% for the first six months of 2021. Year-over-year the decrease was primarily related to a decreased in loan yields and in investment yields, which as noted above has begun to increase during the current quarter. The Bank’s total cost of funds remained low during the last two quarters at 0.08%, respectively, compared to 0.12% for the second quarter 2021.

Noninterest income was $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $2.1 million for the first quarter of 2022, and $4.6 million for the second quarter of 2021. For the six months of 2022, non-interest income totaled $4.0 million, compared to $9.8 million for the first six months of 2021. The decrease in noninterest income for the first half of 2022 and for the current quarter compared to the preceding quarter and year-over-year was largely due to the decline in gain on sale of loans and other mortgage banking revenue. As expected, the recent rise in interest rates adversely impacted mortgage loan production during the first and second quarters of 2022, with home refinance activity accounting for only 31% of mortgage loan originations compared to 50% in the preceding quarter and 60% in the second quarter of 2021. Gain-on-sale of loans decreased $312,000 for the current quarter to $366,000 from first quarter of 2022, and declined $2.5 million from $2.9 million for the second quarter a year ago.

These decreases in mortgage banking income during the year more than offset increases in several key fee income sources, including service charges on accounts, credit and debit card income. Service charges on deposits increased 10% quarter-over-quarter and grew 20% from a year ago, while debit card income grew 7.5% quarter-over-quarter. Debit and credit card fees as well as ATM fees continued to trend upwards as our customers increasingly adopt and use the Bank’s digital delivery channels.

Noninterest expenses were $8.8 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $8.6 million for the first quarter of 2022, and $10.5 million for the second quarter of 2021. The increases in noninterest expenses on a linked quarter basis was primarily due to increases in advertising and health insurance costs. The decreases in expenses from a year ago reflect reductions in several expense categories with the largest being reductions of mortgage origination commissions that have decreased commensurate with lower mortgage loan originations and revenues. For the first six months of the year, non-interest income declined 17% to $17.4 million, compared to $21.0 million for the first six months of 2021.

Federal and Oregon state income tax expense was $310,000 for the current quarter, and $166,000 for the preceding quarter, resulting in effective tax rates of 16.2% and 9.1%, respectively. These income tax expenses reflects the benefits of tax exempt income and an adjustment to deferred tax asset during the preceding quarter.

Balance Sheet Review

Total Assets remained relatively flat at $1.33 billion, at June 30, 2022, compared to the preceding quarter and increased 3% from $1.29 billion at June 30, 2021. With the purchase of investment securities and deposits balances increasing minimally, interest bearing cash balances and federal funds sold declined $24.5 million to $369.0 million for the current quarter, compared to $393.5 million for the linked quarter, while increasing $37.3 million from $331.7 million for the second quarter of 2021 as a result of more significant deposit increases.

Investment Securities increased 16% to $274.4 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $236.5 million at March 31, 2022 and grew 73% from $158.4 million at June 30, 2021 as the Company continued to deploy a portion of its excess liquidity into higher-earning assets, i.e. investment securities. For the second quarter of 2022 this included $53.1 million in investment purchases, which was partially offset by $7.0 million in calls, maturities and payments. The average yield on purchases was 3.0% with an adjusted duration of 3.7, which increased the average portfolio yield to 1.96% for the quarter compared to 1.72% for the linked quarter and 2.12% to the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The average adjusted duration of the investment securities portfolio was approximately 4.6 at June 30, 2022.

Gross loans balances, excluding PPP loans, totaled $606.3 million at June 30, 2022, remaining relatively flat compared to the preceding quarter and declined 3% from $624.3 million at June 30, 2021. While loan balances have remained relatively flat or declined slightly from the prior year, loan production has seen a positive increase during 2022. Also impacting loan balances during the year was loan payoffs relating to several customers selling their businesses. Within the consumer category, loans to finance luxury and classic cars were $55.2 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $50.2 million at March 31, 2022 and $50.1 million at June 30, 2021. Due to the strength of our commercial customers, commercial lines of credit utilization continues to be below pre-pandemic levels impacting commercial loan balances. With the receipt of PPP forgiveness funds, SBA PPP loan balances continued to decline and were $570,000 at June 30, 2022, compared to $8.3 million at March 31, 2022, and $69.6 million at June 30, 2021. The decrease in SBA PPP loans during the current quarter was partially offset by increases in construction and development loans and farmland.

Credit Quality remained strong with nonperforming assets at $1.4 million, or 0.10% of total assets, at June 30, 2022, from $1.3 million for the linked quarter, and compared to $2.1 million or 0.16% of total assets at June 30, 2021. Balances related to non-impaired loans, graded watch or other loans especially mentioned, increased 5% to $31.4 million compared to $30.0 million at March 31, 2022, and declined substantially from $46.7 million at June 30, 2021. The level of past due loans, not in accrual status, was 0.09% at June 30, 2022. These outstanding asset quality metrics reflect the company’s commitment to underwriting loans in a disciplined and conservative manner. The company monitors its portfolio on an ongoing basis for potential signs of distress stemming from the current economic environment and associated challenges and will take action as needed to mitigate the impact of credit issues to the portfolio.

The Allowance for Loan Losses (“ALL”) remained relatively unchanged compared to the linked quarter at $8.3 million, or 1.37% of gross loans (excluding PPP) at June 30, 2022, compared to $8.3 million, or 1.36% of gross loans, at March 31, 2022, while declining from $9.1 million, or 1.45%, at June 30, 2021. Net recoveries and/or charge-offs remain low with net recoveries of $6,000 for the current quarter, compared to net charge-offs of $21,000 for the first quarter of 2022 and $43,000 for the second quarter of 2021. There was no loan loss provision for the second or first quarter of 2022, compared to a recapture of $1.6 million in the second quarter a year ago. Net recoveries and/or charge-offs remain low with net charge-offs of $15,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 , compared to net recoveries of $10,000 for the like period in 2021. There were no provision for loan losses in the first half of 2022, compared to a recapture of $3.0 million during the first half of 2021.

Total Deposits increased slightly by $7.4 million and balances were $1.20 billion at June 30, 2022 and at March 31, 2022, and increased 5% from $1.14 billion at June 30, 2021. Noninterest-bearing deposits, representing 42% of total deposits, continued to remain strong and to increase though at slower levels than in 2021 and 2020. Non-interest bearing deposits increased 1%, or $4.0 million, to $500.0 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $495.5 million at March 31, 2022, and grew 7%, or $33.0 million from $466.5 million at June 30, 2021. Term deposits make up the smallest portion of our total deposits at only 4% of total deposits and as in previous quarters have continued to decline.

Shareholder’s Equity was $102.8 million at June 30, 2022, down from $108.5 million at March 31, 2022 and $118.0 million at June 30, 2021. The company’s tangible book value per share was $8.59 at June 20, 2022, compared to $9.15 at March 31, 2022, and $10.03 at June 30, 2021. These decreases are primarily due to an increase in the unrealized holding loss on securities available for sale resulting from higher market interest rates, impacting tangible book value by $1.51 during 2022. Available-for-sale securities, net of taxes were $212.8 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $226.0 million at March 31, 2022. Unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities, net of taxes were $14.2 million at June 30, 2022 compared to net unrealized losses of $8.2 million at March 31, 2022, due to increases in market interest rates. Regulatory capital ratios of both the company and the Bank continue to exceed the well-capitalized regulatory thresholds, with the company’s leverage ratio at 8.9% and total risk-based capital ratio at 16.7% as of June 30, 2022.
