President’s Comments

Andrew J. Ryback, director, president and chief executive officer of Plumas Bancorp and Plumas Bank stated, “The third quarter of 2022 resulted in record earnings mostly due to rising interest rates. Additionally, average interest earning assets grew by 11%. Non-performing assets to total assets at just 0.11% remain below regional and national peer averages. Plumas stands strong in the face of probable recession and continues to closely monitor the credit portfolio.”

Recently, Plumas Bank was recognized by three leading financial industry groups:

Loans, Deposits, Investments and Cash

Gross loans, excluding loans held for sale, increased by $19 million, or 2%, from $839 million at September 30, 2021, to $858 million at September 30, 2022. Increases in loans included $55 million in commercial real estate loans, $16 million in construction loans, $6 million in residential real estate loans and $3 million in all other loans; these items were partially offset by decreases of $51 million in commercial loans and $10 million in agricultural loans. Excluding PPP loan activity, commercial loans would have increased by $8 million and gross loans would have increased by $78 million or 10%. PPP loans totaled $1 million at September 30, 2022, and $60 million at September 30, 2021. Unamortized loan fees net of unamortized loan costs on PPP loans totaled $52 thousand at September 30, 2022.

Beginning in 2020 we instituted a loan forbearance program to assist borrowers with managing cash flows disrupted due to COVID-19; we ended this program in the fourth quarter of 2021 and there are no loan balances on deferral related to this program at September 30, 2022.     

On September 30, 2022, approximately 79% 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 in which variable rate loans reprice can vary from one day to several 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 increased by $107 million from $1.4 billion at September 30, 2021, to $1.5 billion at September 30, 2022. The increase in deposits includes increases of $68 million in demand deposits and $70 million in savings accounts. These increases were partially offset by declines of $20 million in money market accounts, and $11 million in time deposits. At September 30, 2022, 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 $108 million from $275 million at September 30, 2021, to $383 million at September 30, 2022. Excluding the effect of a $64 million increase in unrealized loss on investment securities, our investment security portfolio would have grown by $172 million. The Bank’s investment security portfolio consists of debt securities issued by the US Government, US Government agencies, US Government sponsored agencies and municipalities. Cash and due from banks decreased by $39 million from $373 million at September 30, 2021, to $334 million at September 30, 2022.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming assets (which are comprised of nonperforming loans, other real estate owned (“OREO”) and repossessed vehicle holdings) at September 30, 2022, were $1.9 million, down from $5.5 million at September 30, 2021. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets decreased to 0.11% at September 30, 2022, down from 0.35% at September 30, 2021. OREO decreased by $200 thousand from $569 thousand at September 30, 2021, to $369 thousand at September 30, 2022. Nonperforming loans were $1.5 million at September 30, 2022, and $4.9 million at September 30, 2021. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans decreased to 0.17% at September 30, 2022, down from 0.58% at September 30, 2021.

The provision for loan losses increased by $125 thousand from $875 thousand during the first nine months of 2021 to $1 million during the current period. Net charge-offs totaled $432 thousand and $472 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The allowance for loan losses totaled $10.9 million at September 30, 2022, and $10.3 million at September 30, 2021. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans increased from 1.23% at September 30, 2021, to 1.27% at September 30, 2022. Excluding PPP loans, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans at September 30, 2022, and 2021 was 1.27% and 1.32%, respectively.

Shareholders’ Equity

Related mostly to an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss, total shareholders’ equity decreased by $23.1 million from $129.5 million at September 30, 2021, to $106.4 million at September 30, 2022. Excluding $42.3 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss at September 30, 2022, and $1.8 million in accumulated other comprehensive income at September 30, 2021, shareholders’ equity would have increased by $21 million, or 16%, to $149 million. Increases in shareholders’ equity include earnings during the twelve-month period totaling $24.1 million and stock option activity totaling $0.5 million. These items were offset by the payment of cash dividends totaling $3.6 million and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $44.1 million. The increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss resulted from an increase in the unrealized loss on our investment portfolio, net of tax of $45.2 million partially offset by an increase in the value of our interest rate swaps.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income was $15.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $2.2 million from the same period in 2021. The increase in net interest income includes an increase of $2.1 million in interest income and a decrease of $30 thousand in interest expense. Interest and fees on loans, including loans held for sale, decreased by $916 thousand related to a decline of $2.3 million in fees net of costs on PPP loans partially offset by growth in the loan portfolio and an increase in yield on the portfolio. During the current quarter we recorded amortization of loan fees net of loan costs on PPP loans totaling $237 thousand. This compares to $2.5 million during the third quarter of 2021. This includes normal amortization on our PPP portfolio and the effect of PPP loan forgiveness.

Average loan balances decreased by $2 million, while the average yield on these loans decreased by 36 basis points from 5.71% during the third quarter of 2021 to 5.35% during the current quarter. The decrease in loan yield is directly related to the $2.3 million decrease in PPP fees. Excluding PPP loans, yield would have increased by 27 basis points mostly related to an increase in the rate earned on loans tied to the prime interest. The average prime interest rate increased by 210 basis points from 3.25% during the third quarter of 2021 to 5.35% during the current quarter. The average balance of loans held for sale decreased from $15.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021, to $2.8 million during the current quarter. The average yield on loans held for sale, all of which are tied to prime and reprice quarterly, increased from 5.48% to 7.05%.

Interest on investment securities increased by $1.4 million from the third quarter of 2021, related to an increase in average investment securities of $133 million to $388 million and an increase in yield on the investment portfolio of 81 basis points from 1.80% during the third quarter of 2021 to 2.61% during the current quarter. Interest on cash balances increased by $1.7 million related to both an increase of 213 basis points in the rate paid on these balances and an increase of $35 million in average cash balances. The rate paid on cash balances increased from 0.16% during the third quarter of 2021 to 2.29% 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 0.15% during the third quarter of 2021 and 2.25% during the current quarter.

Average interest earning assets during the three months ended September 30, 2022, totaled $1.6 billion, an increase of $157 million from the same period in 2021. The average yield on interest earning assets increased by 15 basis points to 4.07%. Net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2022, increased 17 basis points to 4.00%, up from 3.83% for the same period in 2021.

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $41.2 million, an increase of $7.2 million from the $34.0 million earned during the same period in 2021. Interest income increased by $7.3 million. Included in interest income during the current nine-month period were PPP fees net of costs of $1.2 million, a decrease of $3.7 million from $4.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The average yield on loans, including loans held for sale, decreased by 19 basis points from 5.39% during the first nine months of 2021 to 5.20% during the current period related to the decrease in PPP fees.

Average interest earning assets during the current nine-month period totaled $1.6 billion, an increase of $303 million from the same period in 2021. This increase in average interest earning assets consisted of increases of $79 million in average loan and loans held for sale balances, $123 million in average investment securities and $101 million in average cash balances. The average yield on interest earning assets declined by 11 basis points to 3.68% mostly related to a decline in loan yield. Interest expense increased by $52 thousand. Net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, decreased 10 basis points to 3.60%, down from 3.70% for the same period in 2021.

Non-Interest Income/Expense

Non-interest income increased by $553 thousand to $2.6 million during the current quarter up from $2.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021. The largest component of this increase was an increase in gain on sale of SBA loans of $353 thousand. We did not sell SBA 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 current quarter we sold $10.7 million in guaranteed portions of SBA loans and ended the quarter with loans held for sale totaling $434 thousand.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, non-interest income totaled $8.9 million, an increase of $2.7 million from $6.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, total non-interest expense increased by $1.6 million from $6.6 million during the third quarter of 2021 to $8.2 million during the current quarter. The largest component of this increase was an increase in salary and benefit expense of $1.4 million. Occupancy and equipment costs increased by $177 thousand. The largest component of this increase relates to an increased investment in software primarily related to our lending platform.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company qualified for the Employee Retention Credit (ERC). The ERC was made available under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act and modified and extended under the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020. We recorded an ERC of $1.2 million during the third quarter of 2021 as a reduction of salary and benefit expense.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, non-interest expense increased by $5.7 million. The largest components of this increase were $4.0 million in salary and benefit expense, $630 thousand in occupancy and equipment costs, $219 thousand in outside service fees and $171 thousand in advertising and shareholder relations. The largest components of the increase in salary and benefit expense were $2.3 million in ERC during 2021, $1.5 million in salary expense and $365 thousand in accrued bonus expense. The increase in occupancy and equipment expense includes $313 thousand related to our Yuba City branch.
