AMERICAN BUSINESS BANK (OTCQX: AMBZ) today reported net income of $9.1 million or $1.00 per fully diluted share for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $8.9 million or $0.99 per fully diluted share for the first quarter of 2021, an increase of 2%. For the quarter ended June 30, 2021 net income associated with the PPP program was $4.3 million or $0.47 per fully diluted share, an increase of 20% compared to $3.6 million or $0.39 per fully diluted share for the first quarter of 2021.

“The Bank realized exceptional loan growth in the second quarter of 2021 at a 30% annualized rate primarily from new relationships. Growth was diversified in owner and non-owner occupied commercial real estate and C&I loans across all of the regional offices. Business momentum remains strong as new relationships join the Bank which will also drive core deposit growth. The Bank’s level of demonstrated high service resonates with entrepreneurial owners coming out of the pandemic as larger banks struggle to deliver. Additional loan growth allows the net interest income to grow despite continued compression to the net interest margin in this low rate environment.

“ABB’s high level of participation in the PPP program places the bank in the upper echelon in the entire U.S. as measured by PPP loans as a percentage of total loans. The timing of PPP loan forgiveness has met expectations, and income from the program has enabled ABB to step up our community support with planned funding of a small business grant program to benefit minority and women-owned businesses.

“Additionally, we remain true to our original value proposition and culture to help guide and bank the best small to middle market companies in Southern California. Our ability to not only be excellent bankers in all the traditional sense, of deposits and loans as well as consultants and stewards, delivers an unmatched banking relationship,” said Leon Blankstein, ABB’s President, CEO and Director.

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2021 was $27.1 million, an 11% increase over the first quarter of 2021 as realized deferred fees on PPP loans increased by $1.2 million driven by an increase in PPP loan forgiveness. Interest income on loans, excluding PPP loan income, increased by $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2021 as loans, excluding PPP loans, increased by an average of $82 million. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2021, the Bank recovered $342,000 of interest on a nonaccrual loan and a previously charged off loan. Interest income on the securities portfolio increased by $504,000 in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2021, as investment securities increased by an average of $80 million. For the quarters ending June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, the cost of deposits was 0.06%. For the quarter ending June 30, 2021, there was no provision for loan losses as the economy continues to improve and the Bank received a recovery on a previously charged off loan. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans, excluding PPP loans, was 1.40% at June 30, 2021.

Net income was $18.0 million or $1.98 per fully diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $11.6 million or $1.30 per fully diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to $6.9 million of accelerated realization of net deferred PPP processing fees on forgiven PPP loans, an increase in interest on investment securities of $1.8 million as a result of an increase in investment securities and no provision for loan losses. This additional income was offset by a $2 million nonrecurring legal settlement expense and a $1.8 million increase in salary and bonus expense.

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2021 was 3.00% compared to 2.92% in the first quarter of 2021 and 2.88% in the second quarter of 2020. Excluding the impact of PPP loans the net interest margin was 2.75% for the second quarter of 2021 and 2.82% for the first quarter of 2021. The recovery of interest on nonaccrual/charged off loans in the second quarter increased the net interest margin by 0.04% and the loan yield by 0.06%. Without the acceleration of fees on forgiveness, the yield on PPP loans was 1.46% for the second quarter of 2021. The decrease in the net interest margin excluding the impact of PPP loans compared to the prior year is due to a decline of the core loan yield to 4.12% offset by loan growth and an increase in investment securities. As of June 30, 2021, approximately 47% of the Bank’s variable-rate loans are indexed to prime and 76% of these loans are at or above interest rate floors.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased for the second quarter of 2021 compared to second quarter of 2020 by $5.4 million, or 25%, and increased compared to the first quarter of 2021 by $2.6 million, or 11%. This was primarily due to the accelerated realization of net deferred PPP processing fees as 40% and 18% of PPP loans originated in 2020 were forgiven in the second quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2021, respectively. The Bank received $342,000 of interest on a payoff of a nonaccrual loan and in a full recovery of a charged off loan.

As of July 8, 2021, approximately 79% of PPP loan balances originated in 2020 have been forgiven, approximately 9% of balances are in the forgiveness review or submission process and approximately 12% of balances have yet to apply for forgiveness.

On a year-to-date basis, net interest income was $51.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $41.8 million for the same period a year ago. The increase of $9.8 million or 24% is primarily due to the accelerated realization of net deferred PPP processing fees on forgiven PPP loans of $6.9 million and an increase in interest on investment securities of $1.8 million as a result of an increase in investment securities.

Non Interest Income

Fluctuations in non-interest income between quarter and year-to-date are primarily due to Bank/Corporate owned life insurance (BOLI) income as a result of the decrease in the value of the policies that are invested in mutual funds. On a year-to-date basis, deposit fees increased $252,000 from the period a year ago due to growth in commercial business customers and lower earnings credit.

Non Interest Expense

For the second quarter of 2021, total non-interest expense increased $2.5 million compared to the first quarter of 2021 and second quarter of 2020 primarily due to a $2 million expense for settlement of a legal matter and an increase in bonus expense as a result of higher loan production. The efficiency ratio increased/decreased to 58% for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 54% for the first quarter of 2021 and 59% for the second quarter of 2020.

Full time equivalent employees at June 30, 2021 were 192 compared to 195 a year ago. Full time equivalent employees were 192 at March 31, 2021. The Bank has 35 relationship managers in seven offices, an increase over the year of five and the prior quarter of one. The higher mix of relationship managers to back office personnel is the result of technology implementations that continue in 2021.

On a year-to-date basis, non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased $4.4 million or 17% compared to the same period a year ago, due to the settlement of a legal matter, an increase in salaries and bonus expense reflective of higher loan growth and PPP1 forgiveness with added expense for the deferred compensation plan (DCP) as a result of the market performance of DCP investment balances.

Balance Sheet

Total assets increased $27 million, or 1% from March 31, 2021 to $3.7 billion. Total loans, excluding PPP loans, increased $118 million, to $1.7 billion from the first quarter of 2021 as CRE loans increased by $56 million, C&I loan growth and line utilization increased by $37 million and residential real estate loans increased by $25 million. At June 30, 2021, the utilization rate for the Bank’s commercial lines of credit was 27% compared to 24% at March 31, 2021. Investment securities increased by $214 million from the first quarter of 2021 to $1.3 billion. During the second quarter, the Bank designated $73 million of municipal bonds from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity to reduce volatility to equity in a rising rate environment. The duration of the securities portfolio declined from 4.7 to 4.5 years from March 31, 2021 to June 30, 2021.
