President’s Comments

Andrew J. Ryback, director, president and chief executive officer of Plumas Bancorp and Plumas Bank stated, “We are pleased to announce the upcoming opening of our new Chico branch, which complements our footprint in the northern central valley extending from our Yuba City branch in the south to our Redding branch in the north. The Chico branch has been sustainably remodeled with solar panels, LED lighting, xeriscaping, and utilizing recycled materials wherever possible.”

“In light of the recent stresses in the financial sector, we want to provide assurance that Plumas Bank’s financial health remains strong. Our deposits, loans, and investments portfolios are all well diversified; we have low-cost core deposits; we carefully monitor criticized assets; we have no investments designated as held-to-maturity; we have higher asset yields with shorter durations compared to peers; and our Bank’s capital position is strong and continues to grow. Finally, if the need should arise, the Bank has access to additional liquidity through several borrowing lines as detailed in the Liquidity section of this release.”

“Plumas remains strong and nimble, ready to respond to the needs of our clients in this shifting economic landscape. We remain Here. For Good.,” assured Ryback.

Loans, Deposits, Investments and Cash

Gross loans increased by $77 million, or 9%, from $839 million at March 31, 2022, to $916 million at March 31, 2023. Increases in loans included, $98 million in commercial real estate loans, $14 million in automobile loans and $3 million in equity lines of credit; these items were partially offset by a decrease of $20 million in commercial loans, $13 million in construction loans and $5 million in agricultural loans. The decrease in commercial loans include a decline in PPP loans from $18.7 million at March 31, 2022 to $283,000 at March 31, 2023.

On March 31, 2023, approximately 80% 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. Most of our commercial real estate portfolio reprices every five years. Loans indexed to the prime interest rate were approximately 23% 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 $61 million to $1.4 billion at March 31, 2023. The decrease in deposits includes decreases of $10 million in demand deposits, $36 million in money market accounts, and $15 million in time deposits. 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 for a limited time 7-month and 11-month time deposits at an interest rate of 4%. To date this promotion has been well received. At March 31, 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 $168 million from $316 million at March 31, 2022, to $484 million at March 31, 2023. The Bank’s investment security portfolio consists of debt securities issued by US Government agencies, US Government sponsored agencies and municipalities. Cash and due from banks decreased by $283 million from $389 million at March 31, 2022, to $106 million at March 31, 2023.

Asset Quality and CECL

Nonperforming assets (which are comprised of nonperforming loans, other real estate owned (“OREO”) and repossessed vehicle holdings) at March 31, 2023 were $4.2 million, down from $5.2 million at March 31, 2022. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets decreased to 0.26% at March 31, 2023 down from 0.32% at March 31, 2022. OREO decreased by $404,000 from $487,000 at March 31, 2022 to $83,000 at March 31, 2023. Nonperforming loans were $4.0 million at March 31, 2023 and $4.7 million at March 31, 2022. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans decreased to 0.43% at March 31, 2023, down from 0.56% at March 31, 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 first quarter of 2023 we recorded a provision for credit losses of $1,525,000 consisting of a provision for loan losses of $1,250,000 and an increase in the reserve for unfunded commitments of $275,000. The increase in the reserves was principally related to an increase in qualitative reserves related to the continuation of increases in market interest rates and a reduction in economic activity. Additionally, we recorded a $271,000 specific reserve on one collateral dependent loan. We are currently working with the borrower on obtaining additional collateral for this loan. 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 $166,000 and $250,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The allowance for credit losses totaled $12.3 million at March 31, 2023 and $10.4 million at March 31, 2022. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans increased from 1.24% at March 31, 2022 to 1.35% at March 31, 2023.

Shareholders’ Equity

Total shareholders’ equity increased by $5.7 million from $123.1 million at March 31, 2022, to $128.8 million at March 31, 2023. The $5.7 million includes earnings during the twelve-month period totaling $28.4 million and stock option activity totaling $618,000. These items were partially offset by the payment of cash dividends totaling $4.3 million, an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $18.4 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 offering 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 $240 million from the FHLB secured by commercial and residential mortgage loans with carrying values totaling $397 million. The Company is also eligible to participate in the Bank Term Lending Program. The Federal Reserve Board, on March 12, 2023, announced the creation of a new Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP). 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 $96 million. 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 March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022.

The Company estimates that it has approximately $479 million in uninsured deposits. Of this amount, $84 million represent 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 in the foreseeable future.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income was $17.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $5.1 million from the same period in 2022. The increase in net interest income includes an increase of $5.5 million in interest income slightly offset by an increase of $338,000 in interest expense. Interest and fees on loans increased by $2.3 million. Average loan balances increased by $82 million, while the average yield on loans increased by 59 basis points from 5.03% during the first quarter of 2022 to 5.62% during the current quarter. Interest on investment securities increased by $2.2 million related to an increase in average investment securities of $155 million to $467 million and an increase in yield of 125 basis points to 3.24%. The increase in loan and investment yields is consistent with the increase in market rates during 2022 and into the first quarter of 2023. Interest on cash balances increased by $1.2 million related to an increase in the rate paid on these balances which increased from 0.19% during the first quarter of 2022 to 4.64% during the current quarter mostly related to an increase in the rate paid on balances held at the Federal Reserve Bank. The average rate earned on FRB balances increased from 0.19% during the first quarter of 2022 to 4.59% during the current quarter. Average interest-bearing cash balances decreased by $234 million to $119 million during the current quarter. Net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased 143 basis points to 4.64%, up from 3.21% for the same period in 2022.

Non-Interest Income/Expense

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, non-interest income totaled $3.9 million, an increase of $275,000 from the three months ended March 31, 2022. The largest component of this increase was a $1.7 million gain on termination of our interest rate swaps. On May 26, 2020 we entered into two separate interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts totaling $10 million, effectively converting $10 million in Subordinated Debentures related to Trust Preferred Securities to fixed rate obligations. During the first quarter of 2023 we terminated these swaps, redeemed the Trust Preferred Securities and paid all principal and interest due under the debentures.

Mostly offsetting the gain on termination of the interest rate swaps was a decline in gain on sale of SBA 7(a) loans. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 we sold $4.3 million in guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans recording a gain on sale of $230,000. During the first quarter of 2022 gain on sale of SBA 7(a) loans was abnormally high at $1.7 million. 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 first quarter of 2022 we sold $24.1 million in guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans.

During the fourth quarter of 2022 and continuing into the first quarter of 2023 we experienced a significant decline in premiums received on the sale of SBA loans; in response we chose to portfolio SBA 7(a) loans which do not meet a minimum premium on sale. During the current period we chose not to sell $4.1 million in salable guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans as they did not meet our minimum premium on sale. Additionally, the SBA 7(a) loan product that is salable in the open market is variable rate tied to prime and we have seen a 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, we have started funding fixed rate SBA 7(a) loans which we portfolio.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, total non-interest expense increased by $1.5 million from $7.7 million during the first quarter of 2022 to $9.2 million during the current quarter. The largest components of this increase were an increase in salary and benefit expense of $985,000 and an increase in occupancy and equipment costs of $203,000 thousand. The increase in salary and benefit expense primarily relates to an increase in salary expense and a reduction in the deferral of loan origination costs. Salary expense increased by $288,000 which we attribute to both growth in headcount and merit and promotional salary increases. The largest single component of the increase in salary and benefit expense was a $500,000 reduction in the deferral of loan origination expense as we have seen a reduction in loan demand given the current economic environment. Occupancy and equipment costs increased by $203,000, much of which relates to snow removal and other costs attributable to an unusually harsh winter in our service area.
