Covid 19 pandemic response and loan profile

  • During 2021, the Company participated in the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) for loans provided under the auspices of the Small Business Administration (SBA). As of December 31, 2021, 64 loans with a balance of $6.8 million remain outstanding under this program. During 2021, we originated 388 loans with aggregate balances of $24.3 million. As of December 31, 2021, 6 loans that were originated under this program in 2020 remain outstanding and have a balance of $806,000. The loans earn interest at 1% per annum and the processing fee paid by the SBA will be accreted into income over the life of the loans. The SBA has issued guidance for forgiveness with a streamlined approach for loans of $150,000 or less. Of the PPP loans outstanding, 46 loans, or 71.9% of the remaining PPP loans, had an original balance less than $150,000. The outstanding balance for these 46 loans as of December 31, 2021 was approximately $1.5 million.
  • Under our COVID loan modification program, during 2021 we provided relief to 19 customers with outstanding balances of $26.7 million, which includes residential, commercial and agricultural customers. As of December 31, 2021, all loans had returned to their original terms that were modified under this program.
  • The Company tracks industry concentrations to identify risks that could lead to additional credit risk exposure. As a result of the Covid 19 pandemic, the Company has determined that hotels/motels, restaurants, and amusement/theme parks represent a higher level of credit risk. At December 31, 2021, the Company had limited loan concentrations to these industries as follows:
    • Hotels/Motels - $82.4 million or 5.7% of outstanding loans
    • Restaurants - $17.7 million or 1.2% of outstanding loans
    • Amusement/Theme parks - $8.9 million, or 0.6% of outstanding loans

2021 Compared to 2020

  • For 2021, net income totaled $29,118,000 which compares to net income of $25,103,000 for 2020, an increase of $4,015,000 or 16.0%. Basic earnings per share of $7.38 for 2021 compares to $6.53 for last year. Return on equity for 2021 and 2020 was 14.26% and 14.21%, while return on assets was 1.45% and 1.46%, respectively.
  • Net interest income before the provision for loan loss for 2021 totaled $66,112,000 compared to $62,191,000 for 2020, resulting in an increase of $3,921,000, or 6.3%. Average interest earning assets increased $287.8 million for 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to the assets acquired as part of the MidCoast acquisition in the second quarter of 2020 being outstanding for the entire period of 2021 and organic growth primarily in the Delaware region. Average loans increased $133.4 million while average investment securities increased $88.5 million. The yield on interest earning assets decreased 53 basis points to 3.89%, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 15 basis points to 0.49%. The yield on interest earning assets in 2020 benefitted approximately $820,000 from the pay-off of two purchase credit impaired loans acquired as part of The First National Bank of Fredericksburg acquisition in 2015. The decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was due to the Federal Reserve rate cuts made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the first quarter of 2020. The tax effected net interest margin for 2021 was 3.52% compared to 3.92% for last year.
  • The provision for loan losses for 2021 was $1,550,000 compared to $2,400,000 for 2020, a decrease of $850,000. The decrease in the provision is due to less organic loan growth in 2021 compared to 2020 and improved credit metrics for the Bank in 2021.
  • Total non-interest income was $12,305,000 for 2021, which is $883,000 more than the non-interest income of $11,422,000 for 2020. The primary drivers were the earnings on bank owned life insurance, which increased $1,133,000 as the result of the passing of two former employees, an increase in equity security gains of $380,000 as a result of market performance and an increase in service charge income of $534,000 as a result of waiving fees in 2020 in response to the pandemic. Other income decreased $576,000 in 2021 compared to 2020 due to a decrease in fee income on derivative transactions for customers. The gain on loans sold decreased $885,000 due to decrease in the number of loans sold in 2021 compared to 2020 due to fewer customers refinancing loans.
  • Total non-interest expenses for 2021 totaled $41,550,000 compared to $40,847,000 for the same period last year, which is an increase of $703,000. The primary driver of the increase was salary and benefit costs and occupancy costs, which increased compared to 2020 due to the additional headcount and branches acquired as part of the MidCoast acquisition.
  • The provision for income taxes increased $936,000 when comparing 2021 to 2020 as a result of an increase in income before income tax of $4,951,000. The effective tax rate was 17.6% and 17.3% for 2021 and 2020, respectively. It should be noted the earnings on bank owned life insurance are exempt from federal income tax.

Fourth Quarter of 2021 Compared to the Fourth Quarter of 2020

  • For the three months ended December 31, 2021, net income totaled $6,944,000 which compares to net income of $7,227,000 for the comparable period of 2020, a decrease of $283,000 or 3.9%. Basic earnings per share of $1.76 for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compares to $1.83 for the 2020 comparable period. Annualized return on equity for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was 13.11% and 15.20%, while annualized return on assets was 1.34% and 1.55%, respectively.
  • Net interest income before the provision for loan losses for the three months ended December 31, 2021 totaled $16,869,000 compared to $16,545,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2020, resulting in an increase of $324,000. Average interest earning assets increased $214.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same period last year as a result of the interest bearing cash, investments and organic loan growth funded by deposit growth. Average loans increased $59.8 million while average investment securities increased $107.3 million and average interest bearing cash holdings increased $49.9 million. The tax effected net interest margin for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was 3.44% compared to 3.82% for the same period last year, which was impacted by the decrease in the average yield on interest earning assets of 47 basis points to 3.77%.
  • No provision for loan losses was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2021 due to improved credit metrics in the fourth quarter and limited loan activity in the fourth quarter. The provision for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $900,000 due to $39.4 million of net organic growth during that quarter. The provision for 2020 was also impacted more heavily by the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Total non-interest income was $2,512,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2021, which is $1,452,000 less than the comparable period last year. The primary drivers were a decrease in the gains on loans sold of $712,000 due to a decrease in the amount of loans sold compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 and a decrease in other income of $728,000 due to fee income on derivative transactions for customers.
  • Total non-interest expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2021 totaled $10,883,000 compared to $10,821,000 for the same period last year, which is an increase of $62,000, or 0.6%. The primary driver of the increase was other expenses, which increased $432,000, which was driven by a partial settlement of the Company's pension plan in the fourth quarter due to lump sum distributions to former employees of the Company.
  • The provision for income taxes decreased $7,000 when comparing the three months ended December 31, 2021 to the same period in 2020 as a result of a decrease in income before income tax of $290,000. The effective tax rate was 18.3% and 17.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Balance Sheet and Other Information:

  • At December 31, 2021, total assets were $2.14 billion compared to $1.89 billion at December 31, 2020. The loan to deposit ratio as of December 31, 2021 was 78.51% compared to 88.45% as of December 31, 2020.
  • Available for sale securities of $412.4 million at December 31, 2021 increased $117.2 million from December 31, 2020. The yield on the investment portfolio decreased from 2.55% to 1.96% on a tax equivalent basis due to securities purchased at a discount that were called in the first quarter of 2020 and purchases made in a lower rate environment in the second half of 2020 and all of 2021.
  • Net loans as of December 31, 2021 totaled $1.42 billion and increased $34.8 million from December 31, 2020 as a result of organic growth in the Delaware market offset by PPP loan forgiveness.
  • The allowance for loan losses totaled $17,304,000 at December 31, 2021 which is an increase of $1,489,000 from December 31, 2020. The increase is due to recording a provision for loan losses of $1,550,000 and recoveries of $153,000, offset by charge-offs of $214,000. The allowance as a percent of total loans was 1.20% as of December 31, 2021 and 1.13% as of December 31, 2020.
  • Deposits increased $247.3 million from December 31, 2020, to $1.84 billion at December 31, 2021, primarily due to customers holding more cash due to the pandemic and government stimulus funds provided to customers. Brokered CD's decreased $23.8 million. Non-interest-bearing deposits increased $54.3 million due to additional cash holdings by customers.
  • Borrowed funds decreased $14.9 million from December 31, 2020 to $74.0 million at December 31, 2021. The Company paid off $26.8 million of long term borrowings during the year, which were offset by a $2.1 million increase in repurchase agreements and the issuance of $10.0 million of subordinated debt in the second quarter of 2021.
  • Stockholders' equity totaled $212.5 million at December 31, 2021, compared to $194.3 million at December 31, 2020, an increase of $18.2 million. The increase was attributable to net income for 2021 totaling $29.1 million, offset by cash dividends totaling $7.4 million and net treasury stock activity of $934,000. As a result of changes in interest rates impacting the fair value of investment securities, derivative instruments and the Company's pension plan, accumulated other comprehensive income, decreased $2.7 million from December 31, 2020.

On December 6, 2021, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.470 per share, which was paid on December 30, 2021 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 16, 2021.
