“In the third quarter, the residential loan refinance volume continued to exceed all past performance, while deposit growth also continued, especially in the non interest bearing products. This deposit growth is partially the result of developing full relationships with PPP borrowers new to the bank. While, PPP funds will be expended over the balance of the year, these new relationships help us reduce our cost of funds,” said Laurie Stewart President and CEO of the Company and the Bank. “We were also successful in selling $12.0 million in subordinated debt notes in a private placement during the quarter, of which $5.5 million of the net proceeds were downstreamed to the Bank,” concluded Ms. Stewart.

Operating Results

Net interest income decreased $236,000, or 3.4%, to $6.7 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, compared to $6.9 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and increased $14,000, or 0.2%, from $6.6 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily a result of lower interest income on loans and higher interest expense. The increase from the same quarter one year ago was primarily a result of higher interest income on loans and lower interest expense.

Interest income decreased $200,000, or 2.3%, to $8.5 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, compared to $8.7 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and decreased $68,000, or 0.8%, compared to $8.6 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The decrease from the prior quarter-end was due to lower loan yields, partially offset by higher interest income on investments. The decrease from the prior year was due to lower interest income on investments, partially offset by higher interest income on higher average loan balances resulting primarily from loans made by the Bank through its participation in the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) PPP. Interest income on loans decreased $209,000, or 2.4%, to $8.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, compared to $8.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, and increased $227,000, or 2.8%, compared to $8.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The average balance of loans held-for-portfolio was $694.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, compared to $683.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and $585.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The average yield on loans held-for-portfolio was 4.82% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, compared to 5.07% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and 5.54% or the quarter ended September 30, 2019. Interest income on the investment portfolio increased $9,000, or 11.7%, to $86,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, compared to $77,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2020, and decreased $295,000, or 77.4%, compared to $381,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in the interest income on investment securities compared to the same quarter one year ago was due to lower average yields. The average yield on investments was 0.29% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, compared to 0.46% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and 2.30% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.

Interest expense increased $36,000, or 2.0%, to $1.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and decreased $82,000, or 4.2%, compared to $1.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The increase from the prior quarter was a result of higher weighted-average balance of borrowings, combined with interest expense on subordinated debt issued during the third quarter of 2020. The weighted average balance of borrowings outstanding for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 was $42.2 million, compared to $12.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. On September 18, 2020, the Company completed a private placement of $12.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.25% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2030 resulting in net proceeds, after placement fees and offering expenses, of approximately $11.7 million. The decrease from the comparable period a year ago was a result of higher percentage of noninterest bearing deposits to total deposits and lower cost of borrowings. The weighted average cost of deposit decreased to 0.96% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, down seven basis points from 1.03% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, and down 26 basis points from 1.22% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The weighted average cost of borrowings decreased to 1.04% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, from 2.07% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, and from 4.65% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.

During the quarter, the low interest rate environment putting downward pressure on adjustable rate instruments combined with the impact of the low loan yields of the PPP loan portfolio, and a significant increase in low yielding interest-bearing deposits, adversely impacted net interest margin. Net interest margin (annualized) was 3.26% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, compared to 3.69% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and 4.03% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The decreases from the prior quarter-end and a year ago period were also due to yields earned on interest-earning assets declining at a faster rate than interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities as changes in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits tend to lag changes in market interest rate. The average yield on PPP loans was 2.79%, including the recognition of the net deferred fees, resulting in a negative impact to the net interest margin of four basis points during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, compared to six basis points impact during the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of  $275,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, compared to a  provision for loan losses of $400,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and a provision for loan losses of  $250,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in the provision for loan losses in the current quarter compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to decreases in the balance of the loans held-for-portfolio and to a lesser extent the decrease in non-performing loans. Our provision for loan losses in the current quarter not only reflects probable credit losses based upon the conditions that existed as of September 30, 2020, but also gives consideration to the inherent losses from impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Noninterest income increased $489,000, or 31.0%, to $2.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, compared to $1.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and increased $1.0 million, or 93.8%, from $1.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The increase from the sequential quarter and the same period a year ago was primarily due to  an increase in gain on sale of loans, partially offset by a decrease in the mark-to-market adjustment on fair value of mortgage servicing rights. Loans sold during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, totaled $89.5 million, compared to $57.3 million and $16.6 million during the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively as the volume of loans originated for sale increased significantly due to refinance activity increasing as a result of the recent reductions in market interest rates.

Noninterest expense increased $124,000, or 2.3%, to $5.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, compared to $5.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and increased $10,000, or 0.2%, from $5.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The increase from the quarter ended June 30, 2020 was primarily a result of increases in operations expense of $64,000, salaries and benefits expense of $62,000 and data processing expense of $62,000 during the quarter, partially offset by a decrease in occupancy expense of $55,000.

The increase in noninterest expense compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to increases of $160,000 in regulatory assessments and $120,000 in data processing expense, partially offset by a $195,000 decrease in salaries and benefits expense. Data processing expense increased due to technology investments and variable costs associated with loan origination system activity. Salaries and benefits expense decreased primarily due to an increase in deferred loan origination costs related to the PPP loans.

The efficiency ratio for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 was 63.36%, compared to 63.79% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and 71.57% for the year ended September 30, 2019. The improvement in the efficiency ratio for the current quarter compared to the same quarter in 2019 primarily was due to higher noninterest income in the current quarter while expenses were relatively flat.

Balance Sheet Review, Capital Management and Credit Quality

Assets at September 30, 2020 totaled $867.4 million, compared to $871.7 million at June 30, 2020 and $715.3 million at September 30, 2019. The decrease in assets from the sequential quarter was primarily due to lower balances of cash and cash equivalents and loans held-for-portfolio, partially offset by an increase in loans held-for-sale and available-for-sale securities. The increase from a year ago was primarily a result of higher balances in loans held-for-portfolio, loans held-for-sale, cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $14.8 million, or 11.3%, to $115.8 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $130.5 million at June 30, 2020, and increased $56.9 million, or 96.6%, compared to $58.9 million at September 30, 2019. The decrease from the prior quarter-end was due to repayment of borrowings from the Paycheck Protection Program Lending Facility ("PPPLF"), the purchase of investment securities and an increase in loans originated for held-for-sale, partially offset by proceeds received from deposit growth and the issuance of subordinated debt. The increase from a year ago was due to deposit growth, the pay downs in residential loans, including home equity loans and lines of credit, and the proceeds received from the issuance of subordinated debt.

Available-for-sale securities totaled $13.3 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $10.2 million at June 30, 2020, and $7.8 million at September 30, 2019. Increase in available for sale securities from prior quarter and a year ago was due to purchase of investment securities.

Loans held-for-sale totaled $16.1 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $7.4 million at June 30, 2020 and increased from $1.6 million at September 30, 2019.

Loans held-for-portfolio decreased to $689.4 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $690.7 million at June 30, 2020 and increased from $612.9 million at September 30, 2019. The largest decreases in the loan portfolio compared to the prior quarter were in construction and land, floating home and home equity loan portfolios. At September 30, 2020, compared to the prior quarter, construction and land loans decreased $3.9 million, or 5.2%, to $72.2 million, floating home loans decreased $3.9 million, or 8.3%, to $42.4 million, and home equity loans decreased $1.6 million, or 8.1%, to $17.7 million. The decreases were partially offset by increases of $2.8 million in commercial and multifamily, $2.4 million in one-to-four family, $1.7 million in other consumer and $1.3 million in commercial business loan portfolios. At September 30, 2020, compared to the comparable quarter in 2019, commercial business loans increased $74.1 million, or 200.8%, to $111.0 million primarily driven by our origination of $74.8 million in PPP loans, commercial and multifamily real estate loans increased $21.2 million, or 8.3%, to $275.9 million, and consumer loans increased $6.9 million, or 10.1%, to $75.6 million, with the largest increase in consumer loans coming from other consumer loans, which increased $4.5 million, or 57.4%. These increases were partially offset by decreases in one-to-four family loans, which decreased $11.7 million, or 7.7%, to $140.4 million, home equity loans, which decreased $9.1 million, or 34.0%, to $17.7 million and construction and land loans, which decreased $3.7 million, or 4.9%, to $72.2 million. At September 30, 2020, commercial and multifamily real estate loans accounted for approximately 39.8% of total loans, one-to-four family loans, including home equity loans accounted for approximately 22.8% of total loans, and commercial business loans accounted for approximately 16.0% of total loans. Consumer loans accounted for approximately 10.9% of total loans and construction and land loans accounted for approximately 10.4% of total loans and loans at September 30, 2020.

Deposits increased $54.5 million, or 7.9%, to $748.9 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $694.3 million at June 30, 2020 and increased $139.2 million, or 22.8%, compared to $609.6 million at September 30, 2019. The increase in deposits compared to the prior quarter was due to increases in the balance of all deposit products. The increase in deposits compared to the year ago quarter was due primarily to disbursements of PPP loan funds into borrowers’ deposit accounts as well as reduced withdrawals reflecting changes in customer spending habits due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue our efforts to increase noninterest-bearing deposits, which increased $9.8 million, or 6.8% to $152.2 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $142.5 million at June 30, 2020 and increased $49.1 million, or 47.6% from $103.2 million at September 30, 2019.

Total borrowings consisting of PPPLF and FHLB advances decreased $72.3 million, to $7.5 million at September 30, 2020, from $79.8 million at June 30, 2020, and decreased $5.0 million, or 39.8% compared to $12.5 million at September 30, 2019. The decrease from the prior quarter-end is attributable entirely to repayment of PPPLF borrowings. As previously discussed, the Company also completed a private placement of $12.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.25% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2030 resulting in net proceeds, after placement fees and offering expenses, of approximately $11.7 million. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the sale of the notes for general corporate purposes.

Nonperforming assets ("NPAs"), which are comprised of nonaccrual loans, nonperforming troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs"), other real estate owned ("OREO") and other repossessed assets decreased $164,000, or 4.0%, to $3.9 million at September 30, 2020, from $4.1 million at June 30, 2020 and decreased $614,000, or 13.6% from $4.5 million at September 30, 2019. NPAs to total assets were 0.45%, 0.47% and 0.63% at September 30, 2020, June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively. The allowance for loan losses totaled $6.0 million, or 0.87% of total loans outstanding, at both September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, compared to $5.6 million, or 0.91% of total loans outstanding, at September 30, 2019. Excluding PPP loans of $74.8 million which are 100% guaranteed by the SBA, the allowance for loan losses totaled 0.97% of total loans outstanding at September 30, 2020, compared to  0.97% of total loans outstanding at June 30, 2020, excluding PPP loans of $73.1 million (See Non-GAAP reconciliation below). Net loan charge-offs during the third quarter of 2020 totaled $318,000 compared to net charge-offs of $262,000 for the second quarter 2020 and net charge-offs of $2,000 for the third quarter of 2019.

We are continuing to provide payment relief for both consumer and business clients, most of which relief involves interest only or payment deferrals that range from 90 to 180 days. Deferred loans are re-evaluated at the end of the deferral period and will either return to the original loan terms or be reassessed at that time to determine if a further modification should be granted and if a downgrade in risk rating is appropriate. As of September 30, 2020, we have provided payment relief related to COVID-19 on 52 commercial loans totaling $40.2 million and 65 residential loans totaling $14.5 million, of which 7 commercial loans totaling $2.6 million and 10 residential loans totaling $1.8 have resumed their normal loan payments or matured. The $50.3 million of loans that are still under payment relief at September 30, 2020, include 26 residential loans totaling $9.2 million that have entered into a second payment forbearance agreement and eight residential loans totaling $808,000 with a weighted average loan-to value of 76% that have entered into a third payment forbearance agreement. All of these loan modification have been made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and are not classified as troubled debt restructurings. We believe the steps we are taking are necessary to effectively manage our portfolio and assist our clients through the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the duration, impact and government response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have presented a non-GAAP financial measure in addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP for the allowance for loan losses to total loans excluding PPP loans. The Bank has presented this non-GAAP financial measure because it believes that it provides useful information to assess the Bank’s allowance for loan losses. The non-GAAP financial measure has inherent limitations and is not required to be uniformly applied. Further, this non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the allowance for loan losses to total loans determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other financial institutions. Reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measurement is presented in the table below.
