SANTA ANA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 4, 2020 / Infinity Bank (OTCQB:INFT) (the "Bank") announced financial results as of September 30, 2020.

Financial Highlights for the third quarter of 2020:

• Total loans increased by $21 million
• Total deposits increased by $10 million
• The net loss for the quarter decreased 18% from the prior quarter
• Net income (before provisions for loan and lease losses) totaled $74 thousand for the quarter

Loans

Total loans increased by $21 million, or 18.3% to $136.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2020 and by $62.2 million, or 84.3% compared to December 31, 2019. During the third quarter of 2020, the Bank increased new loan commitments by $23.3 million of which 53% were commercial loans. Also included in the loan portfolio is $28 million of loans funded in the second quarter under the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") that were authorized under the CARES Act. The Bank increased its loan to deposit ratio to 89.1% as of September 30, 2020 from 80.6% and 56.7% as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively. PPP Loans are guaranteed by the U.S. Government and, therefore, do not require an allowance for loan and lease losses ("ALLL") to be allocated to them. As a result, while the Bank maintained an ALLL ratio of 1.25% on non-PPP loans, the overall ratio of ALLL to total loans remained at 1.0%.

Deposits

Total deposits were $152.7 million, an increase of $10 million, or 7.0% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 compared to June 30, 2020. Noninterest-bearing demand accounts decreased by $1.5 million, or 2.4% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 compared to June 30, 2020. Interest-bearing deposits increased by $11.6 million, or 20.0% compared to the quarter ended, June 30, 2020. As a result of the PPP loan program, during the second quarter the Bank experienced deposit growth in the form of both loan proceeds deposited into the Bank and the addition of several key relationships.

The cost of total deposits for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 was 39 basis points, a decrease of 3 basis points compared to quarter ended June 30, 2020 and a decrease of 15 basis points when compared to the same time last year.

Net-Interest Income

Net-interest income totaled $1.6 million an increase of $366 thousand, or 30.4% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 from previous quarter ended June 30, 2020. Net-interest income grew by $673 thousand, or 74.9% when compared to the same period last year. The Bank's primary source of revenue was driven by interest income from loans. The Bank's net interest margin increased by 34 basis points at the end of the quarter ended September 30, 2020 from the previous linked quarter and a decrease of 39 basis points compared to the same period in 2019. The increase in the net interest margin during the third quarter of 2020 was driven by the increase in loans outstanding which are higher yielding than other assets, such as cash or investments. The decrease in the net interest margin when compared to the prior year was primarily driven by the substantial lowering of a key rate by the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee ("FOMC"). In particular, the FOMC lowered the target federal funds rates by 150 basis points during March of this year. That decrease continues to have a direct impact on the Bank's net interest margin as many of our loans are tied to rate indices that are directly or indirectly based on the target federal funds rate set by the FOMC.

Non-Interest Income

At September 30, 2020, total non-interest income totaled $51 thousand, a decrease of $2 thousand, or 3.8% from previous quarter ended June 30, 2020. Non-interest income decreased $81 thousand, or 61.4% when compared to this same period last year.

Non-Interest Expense

The Bank's total non-interest expense increased by $281 thousand, or 22.2% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 versus the previous quarter ended June 30, 2020. Non-interest expense increased $394 thousand, or 34.1% when compared to the comparable period ended September 30, 2019. The increase in non-interest expense from the second quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2020 was primarily driven by an increase in employee expense. This increase was driven by incentives paid and onetime charges related to internal restructuring.

Net Income

The Bank recorded a net loss of $165 thousand ($0.05 per share), a decrease of 18% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 versus a net loss of $201 thousand ($0.06 per share) and a net loss of $298 thousand ($0.09 per share) compared to the quarter ended, June 30, 2020 and quarter ended, September 30, 2019, respectively. The Bank continues to inch closer to profitability. The total of non-cash transactions related to the ALLL and employee stock options was $315 thousand for the third quarter and $265 thousand for the second quarter of 2020. If these were not included, the Bank would have a net income of $150 thousand and $64 thousand for the quarters ended September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively.

Capital

At September 30, 2020, the Bank remained well-capitalized under the regulatory capital ratio guidelines with a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 15.7%, a total risk-based capital ratio of 16.5%, and a tier 1 leverage ratio of 13.3%.
