President’s Comments

“We are pleased that Plumas Bancorp has been included in Raymond James’ equity research with a very strong initial report,” Andrew J. Ryback, director, president and chief executive officer of Plumas Bancorp and Plumas Bank, announced. “Additionally, Plumas Bancorp was included on the Russell 2000 and was the recipient of a variety of regional and national awards such as the Raymond James Community Bankers Cup and D.A. Davidson’s Bison Select list. While many banks are experiencing significant increases in funding costs resulting in declining margins, Plumas bank’s margins have continued to increase over the last several quarters and we continue to achieve record earnings. We attribute much of this to our exceptionally strong core deposit base resulting in funding costs significantly lower than most peer institutions.”

“Recently, due to several contributing factors, we elected to discontinue our dealer loan program. Long-term challenges related to the current higher rate environment, increasing regulatory compliance requirements, the necessary replacement of technology support systems, and increasing expenses outweighed the benefits of this unique, short duration credit portfolio. We have reassigned personnel where possible and will redirect cash flows from this portfolio to lower-risk investments and more profitable lending opportunities. This closure is isolated to our dealer loan program,” Ryback stated.

“With continued investments in client-servicing technology and institutional efficiencies Plumas Bank is Here. FOR GOOD,” concluded Ryback.

Loans, Deposits, Investments and Cash

Gross loans increased by $101 million, or 12%, from $858 million at September 30, 2022, to $959 million at September 30, 2023. Increases in loans included, $72 million in commercial real estate loans, $14 million in automobile loans, $6 million in agricultural loans, $4 million in commercial loans, $3 million in equity lines of credit, $3 million in construction loans and $2 million in other loans; these items were partially offset by a decrease of $3 million in residential real estate loans.

On   September 30, 2023, approximately 77% of the Company's loan portfolio was comprised of variable rate loans. The rates of interest charged on variable rate loans are set at specific increments in relation to the Company's lending rate or other indexes such as the published prime interest rate or U.S. Treasury rates and vary with changes in these indexes. The frequency at which variable rate loans reprice can vary from one day to several years. The largest portion of variable rate loans are variable rate commercial real estate loans which predominantly reprice every five years and are indexed to the 5 year Treasury. Loans indexed to the prime interest rate were approximately 21% of the Company’s loan portfolio; these loans reprice within one day to three months of a change in the prime rate.

Total deposits decreased by $109 million to $1.4 billion at September 30, 2023. The decrease in deposits includes decreases of $59 million in demand deposits, $57 million in savings, and $28 million in money market accounts deposits. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in time deposit of $35 million. We attribute much of the decrease to the current interest rate environment as we have seen some deposits leave for higher rates and some customers reluctant to borrow to fund operating expense and instead have drawn down their excess deposit balances. Beginning in April 2023 we began offering a time deposit promotion offering 7-month and 11-month time deposits at an interest rate of 4%. We discontinued this promotion, which generated $46 million in deposits, on June 30, 2023. At September 30, 2023, 53% of the Company’s deposits were in the form of non-interest bearing demand deposits. The Company has no brokered deposits.

Total investment securities increased by $55 million from $383 million at September 30, 2022, to $438 million at September 30, 2023. The Bank’s investment security portfolio consists of debt securities issued by the US Government, US Government agencies, US Government sponsored agencies and municipalities. All investment securities are classified as available for sale. The unrealized loss on investment securities increased from $62 million at September 30, 2022 to $76 million at September 30, 2023. Cash and due from banks decreased by $243 million from $334 million at September 30, 2022, to $91 million at September 30, 2023.

Asset Quality and CECL

Nonperforming assets (which are comprised of nonperforming loans, other real estate owned (“OREO”) and repossessed vehicle holdings) at September 30, 2023 were $4.8 million, up from $1.9 million at September 30, 2022. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets increased to 0.31% at September 30, 2023 up from 0.11% at September 30, 2022. OREO increased by $71 thousand from $369 thousand at September 30, 2022 to $440 thousand at September 30, 2023. Nonperforming loans were $4.3 million at September 30, 2023 and $1.5 million at September 30, 2022. Much of the increase in nonperforming loans was loans to walnut growers. Walnuts prices have declined significantly from 2022 levels. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans increased to 0.45% at September 30, 2023, up from 0.17% at September 30, 2022.

Upon adoption of CECL we recorded an increase in the allowance for credit losses of $529,000 and an increase in the reserve for unfunded commitments of $258,000. The decline in equity, net of tax, related to these two adjustments totaled $554,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 we recorded a provision for credit losses of $2,675,000 consisting of a provision for loan losses of $2,425,000 and an increase in the reserve for unfunded commitments of $250,000. The increase in the reserves was principally related to an increase in qualitative reserves related to the continuation of increases in market interest rates. During early October two collateral dependent loans to one borrower paid off in full. This resulted in a reduction in the specific reserves on these loans of $791,000 and a negative provision during the current quarter of $200,000. These two loans totaling $1.8 million were included in nonperforming loans at September 30, 2023. As time progresses the results of economic conditions will require CECL model assumption inputs to change and further refinements to the estimation process may also be identified.

Net charge-offs totaled $724,000 and $432,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The allowance for credit losses totaled $13.7 million at September 30, 2023 and $10.9 million at September 30, 2022. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans increased from 1.27% at September 30, 2022 to 1.42% at September 30, 2023.

The following tables present the activity in the allowance for credit losses and the reserve for unfunded commitments during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands).

Shareholders’ Equity

Total shareholders’ equity increased by $13.5 million from $106.4 million at September 30, 2022, to $119.9 million at September 30, 2023. The $13.5 million includes earnings during the twelve-month period totaling $30.1 million and stock option and restricted stock activity totaling $656,000. These items were partially offset by the payment of cash dividends totaling $5.3 million, an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $11.4 million and the adjustment recorded on the adoption of CECL, net of tax, of $554,000.

Liquidity

The Company manages its liquidity to provide the ability to generate funds to support asset growth, meet deposit withdrawals (both anticipated and unanticipated), fund customers' borrowing needs and satisfy maturity of short-term borrowings. The Company’s liquidity needs are managed using assets or liabilities, or both. On the asset side, in addition to cash and due from banks, the Company maintains an investment portfolio which includes unpledged U.S. Government-sponsored agency securities that are classified as available-for-sale. On the liability side, liquidity needs are managed by offering competitive rates on deposit products and the use of established lines of credit.

The Company is a member of the FHLB and can borrow up to $227 million from the FHLB secured by commercial and residential mortgage loans with carrying values totaling $412 million. The Company is also eligible to participate in the Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP). The Federal Reserve Board, on March 12, 2023, announced the creation of a new Bank Term Funding Program. The BTFP offers loans of up to one year in length to banks, savings associations, credit unions, and other eligible depository institutions pledging U.S. Treasuries, agency debt and mortgage-backed securities, and other qualifying assets as collateral. These assets will be valued at par. The Company has pledged as collateral under the BTFP securities with a par value of $94 million at September 30, 2023. In addition to its FHLB borrowing line and the BTFP, the Company has unsecured short-term borrowing agreements with two of its correspondent banks in the amounts of $50 million and $20 million. There were no outstanding borrowings to the FHLB, FRB or the correspondent banks at September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022.

The Company estimates that it has approximately $478 million in uninsured deposits. Of this amount, $94 million represents deposits that are collateralized such as deposits of states, municipalities and tribal accounts.

Management believes that the Company’s available sources of funds, including borrowings, will provide adequate liquidity for its operations for the foreseeable future.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income was $17.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $2.0 million from the same period in 2022. The increase in net interest income includes an increase of $3.0 million in interest income partially offset by an increase of $1.0 million in interest expense. Interest and fees on loans, including loans held for sale, increased by $2.6 million related to growth in the loan portfolio and an increase in yield on the portfolio. Net loan fees/costs declined from net fees of $50,000 during the 2022 quarter to net costs of $346,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2023. This decline is mostly related to a decline in fees earned on PPP loans.

Including loans held for sale, average loan balances increased by $77 million, while the average yield on these loans increased by 65 basis points from 5.35% during the third quarter of 2022 to 6.00% during the current quarter. The increase in loan yield includes the effect of an increase in market rates during 2023 partially offset by a decline in PPP fee income as described above. The average prime interest rate increased from 5.35% during the third quarter of 2022 to 8.43% during the current quarter.

Interest on investment securities increased by $1.2 million from the third quarter of 2022, related to an increase in average investment securities of $74 million to $462 million and an increase in yield on the investment portfolio from 2.61% during the third quarter of 2022 to 3.28% during the current quarter. Interest on interest-earning cash balances decreased by $0.8 million related to a decrease in average interest-earning cash balances partially offset by an increase in the rate earned on these balances. The rate paid on interest-earning cash balances increased from 2.29% during the third quarter of 2022 to 5.37% during the current quarter mostly related to an increase in the rate paid on balances held at the Federal Reserve Bank. The average rate paid on Federal Reserve balances was 2.25% during the third quarter of 2022 and 5.33% during the current quarter. Average interest-earning cash balances declined from $306 million during the third quarter of 2022 to $71 million in the current quarter related to a decline in average deposits and increases in loans and investments.

Average interest earning assets during the three months ended September 30, 2023 totaled $1.5 billion, a decrease of $84 million from the same period in 2022. The average yield on interest earning assets increased 105 basis points to 5.12%, up from 4.07% for the same period in 2022. Net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased 77 basis points to 4.77%, up from 4.00% for the same period in 2022.

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $52.1 million, an increase of $11.0 million from the $41.1 million earned during the same period in 2022. The increase in net interest income includes an increase of $13.0 million in interest income partially offset by an increase of $2.0 million in interest expense. Interest and fees on loans, including loans held for sale, increased by $6.9 million related to growth in the loan portfolio and an increase in yield on the portfolio. Net loan fees/costs declined from net fees of $561,000 during the 2022 period to net costs of $927,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This decline is mostly related to a decline in fees earned on PPP loans. The average yield on loans, including loans held for sale, increased by 62 basis points from 5.20% during the first nine months of 2022 to 5.82% during the current period.

Average interest earning assets during the current nine month period totaled $1.5 billion, a decrease of $45 million from the same period in 2022. This decrease in average interest earning assets resulted from a decline in average interest-earning cash balances of $235 million, mostly offset by increases of $68 million in average loan balances and $123 million in average investment securities. The average yield on interest earning assets increased by 128 basis points to 4.96%, related to increases in market rates. Net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased 110 basis points to 4.70%, up from 3.60% for the same period in 2022.

Non-Interest Income/Expense

Non-interest income decreased by $241,000 to $2.3 million during the current quarter from $2.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The largest component of this decrease was a decline in gains on sale of SBA loans of $339,000. During the current quarter we sold one loan totaling $370,000. This compares to sales of $10.7 million during the third quarter of 2022. The SBA 7(a) loan product that is salable in the open market is variable rate tied to prime and we have seen a significant decline in interest in this product given the recent increases in the prime rate. While we continue to produce SBA 7(a) loans for sale at a much lower volume, we have started funding fixed rate SBA 7(a) loans which we portfolio.   Additionally during the fourth quarter of 2022 and continuing into 2023 we experienced a significant decline in premiums received on the sale of SBA loans; in response during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 we chose to portfolio $4.1 million in salable SBA 7(a) loans which did not meet a minimum premium on sale.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, non-interest income totaled $8.4 million, a decrease of $488,000 from $8.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The largest component of this decrease was a decline in gain on sale of loans of $2.5 million from $2.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $234,000 during the current period. We did not sell SBA 7(a) loans during the second and third quarters of 2021 resulting in an inventory of loans held for sale of $31.3 million at December 31, 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 we sold $48.9 million in guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans. This compares to $5.3 million in sales during the current period. Partially offsetting the decline in SBA gains was a gain of $1.7 million on termination of our interest rate swaps during the first quarter of 2023.   

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, total non-interest expense increased by $1.2 million from $8.2 million during the third quarter of 2022 to $9.4 million during the current quarter. The largest components of this increase were an increase in salary and benefit expense of $734,000, and an increase in outside service fees of $163,000. The increase in salary and benefit expense primarily relates to an increase in salary expense. Salary expense increased by $453,000 which we attribute primarily to merit and promotional salary increases and termination costs related to our dealer loan program totaling $115,000. In addition, our full time equivalent employee count has increased from 172 at September 30, 2022 to 180 at September 30, 2023. The increase in outside service fees was spread among several different categories, the largest of which was $36,000 in interchange expense. In addition, during August 2023 we fully outsourced our Core processing system. The Core system remains unchanged, but we went from a partially outsourced system to a fully outsourced system.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 non-interest expense increased by $3.9 million to $27.8 million. The largest components of this increase were $2.3 million in salary and benefit expenses, $477,000 in occupancy and equipment costs and $408,000 in outside service fees. The largest increases in salary and benefit expense were $1.2 million in salary expense and $941,000 in the deferral of loan origination costs.
