NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income increased $2.0 million to $71.1 million for the second quarter of 2021 from $69.1 million at the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The net interest margin increased 13 basis points to 3.52 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from 3.39 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Total non-interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 increased $1.1 million to $5.9 million from $4.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of $0.7 million in deposit fees and an increase of $1.0 million in other non-interest income, partially offset by a decrease of $0.4 million in loan level derivative income, net and a decrease of $0.2 million in gain on sales of loans and leases.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The Company recorded a negative provision for credit losses of $3.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to a negative provision for credit losses of $2.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Total net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2021 were $0.6 million compared to $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2021. The decrease is primarily driven by a combination of a decrease in charge-offs of equipment financing loans and commercial loans of $0.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and an increase in recoveries of equipment financing loans and home equity loans of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The ratio of net loan and lease charge-offs to average loans and leases on an annualized basis decreased to 3 basis points for the second quarter of 2021 from 10 basis points for the first quarter of 2021.

The allowance for loan and lease losses represented 1.52 percent of total loans and leases at June 30, 2021, compared to 1.51 percent at March 31, 2021, and 1.61 percent at June 30, 2020. Excluding PPP loans, the allowance for loan and lease losses represents 1.60 percent of total loans and leases at June 30, 2021 compared to 1.65 percent at March 31, 2021, and 1.75 percent at June 30, 2020.

ASSET QUALITY

The ratio of nonperforming loans and leases to total loans and leases was 0.49 percent at June 30, 2021, an increase from 0.43 percent at March 31, 2021. Total nonaccrual loans and leases increased $3.2 million to $34.2 million at June 30, 2021 from $31.0 million at March 31, 2021. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.41 percent at June 30, 2021, a decrease from 0.44 percent at March 31, 2021. Total nonperforming assets decreased $2.8 million to $34.6 million at June 30, 2021 from $37.4 million at March 31, 2021.

From March 1, 2020 through the earlier of January 1, 2022 or 60 days after the termination date of the national emergency declared by the President on March 13, 2020 concerning the COVID-19 outbreak, a financial institution may elect to suspend the requirements under accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for loan modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic that would otherwise be categorized as a troubled debt restructured, including impairment accounting. This troubled debt restructuring relief applies for the term of the loan modification that occurs during the applicable period for a loan that was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. Financial institutions are required to maintain records of the volume of loans involved in modifications to which troubled debt restructuring relief is applicable. As of June 30, 2021, approximately 90 percent of loans granted an initial loan payment deferral have returned to payment status and 151 credits totaling $96.0 million or 1.4 percent of total loans outstanding are operating under modified terms.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 decreased $2.8 million to $38.0 million from $40.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by decreases of $0.6 million in compensation and employee benefits expense, $0.4 million in FDIC insurance expense and $1.8 million in other non-interest expense due to a $2.1 million gain on sale of other real estate owned.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate was 25.4 percent and 25.2 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 24.9 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 24.9 percent and a negative 2.2 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

RETURNS ON AVERAGE ASSETS AND AVERAGE EQUITY

The annualized return on average assets increased to 1.48 percent during the second quarter 2021 from 1.21 percent for the first quarter of 2021.

The annualized return on average stockholders' equity increased to 13.21 percent during the second quarter of 2021 from 11.18 percent for the first quarter of 2021. The annualized return on average tangible stockholders’ equity increased to 15.92 percent for the second quarter of 2021 from 13.51 percent for the first quarter of 2021.
