Recent Developments

  • As previously reported, on May 15, 2024, the Board authorized the Stock Repurchase Program. Under the terms of the Stock Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase up to $10.0 million of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock from time to time in open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions. The Stock Repurchase Program will expire on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, subject to the earlier termination or extension by the Board, in its sole discretion and without prior notice, or until such time that the funds designated for the Stock Repurchase Program are depleted. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company repurchased 7,653 shares under the Stock Repurchase Program for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $240 thousand.
  • During the second quarter of 2024, management made the strategic decision to repurchase and retire $7.5 million of the Company's outstanding 6.375% Fixed Rate Subordinated Notes Due 2029 (the "Subordinated Note"). The Subordinated Note was purchased in the open market for $6.6 million and resulted in a pre-tax gain of approximately $956 thousand.
  • Finally, as previously disclosed, the Company closed on the issuance of $175.0 million of senior perpetual noncumulative preferred stock (the "Senior Preferred") to the U.S. Department of the Treasury ("Treasury") pursuant to the Emergency Capital Investment Program ("ECIP") in April 2022 and assumed an additional $43.6 million of outstanding Senior Preferred through the Company's acquisition of Mechanics Banc Holding Company, which was effective on January 1, 2023. The Senior Preferred issued to Treasury will pay non-cumulative dividends, payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year beginning on the second dividend payment date after the two-year anniversary of the date of issuance. The dividend rate to be paid on the Senior Preferred will adjust annually based on certain measurements of the Company's extensions of credit to minority, rural, and urban low-income and underserved communities and low- and moderate-income borrowers. On June 15, 2024, the Company paid its first quarterly dividend to Treasury in an amount equal to $595 thousand. Because the Company closed on its issuance of the Senior Preferred mid-quarter, the dividend amount paid to Treasury for the Senior Preferred on June 15, 2024 was for a partial period and, accordingly, the quarterly dividend amount to be paid to Treasury for the Senior Preferred will increase in future periods.

CEO Commentary

Moak Griffin, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank, stated, "We had another solid quarter in the second quarter of 2024, with a modest increase in net interest income and a noteworthy expansion of our net interest margin compared to the first quarter, with the increase in our yield on interest-earning assets outpacing the slight uptick in cost of funds during the period. Our credit quality remains strong as our non-performing assets continue to decrease, even as economic uncertainty remains. Given our strong liquidity and capital positions, our Board authorized a $10.0 million Stock Repurchase Program during the second quarter of 2024.  Overall, we believe the Bank continues to be well positioned to navigate this uncertain environment and we continue to expect modest growth during the remainder of 2024."

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Bank-only cost of funds for the second quarter of 2024 was 1.98% compared to 1.81% for the first quarter of 2023 and 0.93% for the second quarter of 2023.

The second quarter Mortgage banking revenue was $858 thousand in the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $184 thousand from $691 thousand in the first quarter of 2024, or an increase of 27%, and an increase of $119 thousand from $764 thousand in the second quarter of 2023, or an increase of 16%.

Credit Quality

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $525 thousand during the second quarter of 2024, compared to a provision of $525 thousand for the first quarter of 2024 and a provision of $375 thousand for the second quarter of 2023. The Company continues to closely monitor the continued economic uncertainty, especially in the commercial real estate market. 

The Company recorded $1.1 million net loan charge-offs in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $277 thousand net loan charge-offs in the first quarter of 2024 and $333 thousand in the second quarter of 2024. Non-performing assets, excluding restructured loans, to total assets were 0.41% for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 0.42% for the first quarter of 2024 and 0.47% for the second quarter of 2023. Annualized net charge-offs to average loans for the second quarter of 2024 were 0.06% compared to annualized net charge-offs of 0.02% for the first quarter of 2024 and 0.02% for the second quarter of 2023, respectively.  

As of June 30, 2024, the allowance for credit losses equaled $23.7 million, compared to $24.3 million as of March 31, 2024 and $23.2 million as of June 30, 2023.  Allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.29% at June 30, 2024, compared to 1.35% at March 31, 2024 and 1.33% at June 30, 2023.  Allowance for credit losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 208% at June 30, 2024, compared to 211% at March 30, 2024 and 201% at June 30, 2023. 

The Company continues to closely monitor credit quality in light of the continued uncertainty in the economy and the banking industry due to the prolonged elevated interest rate environment and persistent inflationary pressures in the United States and our market areas. Accordingly, additional provisions for credit losses may be necessary in future periods.

Liquidity and Capital Position

Liquidity – We have a limited reliance on wholesale funding and currently have no brokered deposits. We currently have the capacity to borrow up to approximately $889.0 million from the FHLB, $14.5 million from the FRB Discount Window and an estimated additional $60.0 million in funding through several relationships with correspondent banks.

Capital Requirements and the Community Bank Leverage Ratio Framework – Pursuant to federal regulations, bank holding companies and banks, like the Company and the Bank, must maintain capital levels commensurate with the level of risk to which they are exposed, including the volume and severity of problem loans. Federal banking regulations implementing the international regulatory capital framework, referred to as the "Basel III Rules," apply to both depository institutions and (subject to certain exceptions not applicable to the Company) their holding companies. The Basel III Rules also establish a "capital conservation buffer" of 2.5% above the regulatory minimum risk-based capital requirements. The Basel III minimum capital ratios with the full capital conservation buffer are summarized in the table below.

(1)     The capital conservation buffer is not applicable to Tier 1 Leverage Ratio.

On September 17, 2019, the federal banking agencies jointly finalized a rule intended to simplify the Basel III regulatory capital requirements described above for qualifying community banking organizations that opt into the Community Bank Leverage Ratio ("CBLR") framework, as required by Section 201 of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act. The final rule became effective on January 1, 2020, and the CBLR framework became available for banks to use beginning with their March 31, 2020 Call Reports. Under the final rule, if a qualifying community banking organization opts into the CBLR framework and meets all requirements under the framework, it will be considered to have met the "well-capitalized" regulatory capital ratio requirements under the "prompt corrective action" regulations promulgated by the federal banking agencies and will not be required to report or calculate risk-based capital under the Basel III Rules. In order to qualify for the CBLR framework, a community banking organization must have a tier 1 leverage ratio of greater than 9.0%, less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets, and limited amounts of off-balance-sheet exposures and trading assets and liabilities.

The Company and the Bank are qualifying community banking organizations and, on June 15, 2022, the Company and the Bank elected to opt into the CBLR framework. However, the Company currently operates under the Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve") and, therefore, is not currently subject to the Federal Reserve's consolidated capital reporting requirements. Accordingly, the Company's election to opt into the CBLR framework will commence for the first reporting period for which the Company no longer operates under the Federal Reserve's Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement, at which time the Company will become subject to the Federal Reserve's consolidated capital requirements. 

By electing to opt into the CBLR framework, the Company and the Bank are not required to report or calculate risk-based capital under the Basel III Rules described above. As of June 30, 2024, the Bank's bank-only CBLR amounted to 10.99%. While the Company is currently not subject to the Federal Reserve's consolidated capital requirements, as discussed above, the Company's consolidated CBLR would have amounted to 12.49% as of June 30, 2024. These levels exceeded the 9.0% minimum CBLR necessary to be deemed "well-capitalized."

Included in shareholders' equity at June 30, 2024 was an unrealized loss in accumulated other comprehensive income of $12.1 million related to the unrealized loss in the Company's investment securities portfolio primarily due to continued elevated market interest rates during the period. At June 30, 2024, the composition of the Bank's investment securities portfolio includes $233 million, or 42%, classified as available-for-sale, and $317 million, or 58%, of the Bank's investment securities portfolio is classified as held to maturity. All investments in our investment securities portfolio are expected to mature at par value.

Our investment securities portfolio made up 20.0% of our total assets at June 30, 2024, compared to 20.2% and 23.1% at March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.
