FRESNO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- United Security Bancshares (Nasdaq: UBFO) today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2021. The Company recognized net income of $10.1 million, or $0.59 per basic and diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to net income of $9.0 million, or $0.53 per basic and diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Fourth Quarter 2021 Highlights (at or for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, except where noted)

  • Net income for the quarter increased 75.3% to $3.4 million, compared to $1.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The increase is primarily the result of an increase of $540,000 in loan interest income and fees, an increase of $341,000 in investment securities income, and a decrease of $512,000 in the fair value of a financial liability.
  • Total assets increased 21.81% to $1.3 billion, compared to $1.1 billion at December 31, 2020.
  • Total loans, net of unearned fees, increased 33.2% to $871.5 million, compared to $654.3 million at December 31, 2020.
  • Total investments increased 111.9%, or $96.5 million, to $182.6 million, compared to $86.2 million at December 31, 2020.
  • Total deposits increased 24.7% to $1.2 billion, compared to $952.7 million at December 31, 2020.
  • The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of gross loans decreased to 1.07%, compared to 1.30% at December 31, 2020. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of gross loans is principally due to a shift in loan mix. The loan mix change is primarily the result of growth in the purchased residential mortgage loan portfolio during the year.
  • Net interest income before the provision for credit losses increased 9.8% to $9.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, compared to $8.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020.
  • Book value per share increased to $7.06, compared to $6.93 at December 31, 2020.
  • Net interest margin decreased to 3.08% from 3.36% for the quarter ended December 31, 2020.
  • Annualized average cost of deposits decreased to 0.17% from 0.19% for the quarter ended December 31, 2020.
  • Net charge-offs totaled $265,000, compared to net charge-offs of $817,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2020.
  • Capital position remains well-capitalized with a 9.79% Tier 1 Leverage Ratio compared to 11.37% as of December 31, 2020.
  • Annualized return on average assets ("ROAA") was 1.03%, compared to 0.70% for the quarter ended December 31, 2020.
  • Annualized return on average equity ("ROAE") was 11.21%, compared to 6.41% for the quarter ended December 31, 2020.

Dennis Woods, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "We had a successful 2021 with growth in our balance sheet, core earnings, and improvement in credit quality. Total deposits grew 25% through the acquisition of new customers and the strengthening of existing customer relationships. Core net income, which is a non-GAAP measure, grew 19.1% over the prior year as a result of the successful execution of our 2021 cash deployment strategy. Our outlook on profitability going into 2022 is positive, as we look to build upon the growth achieved during the second half of 2021."

Provided at the end of this Press Release is a reconciliation of Core Net Income, as a non-GAAP measure, to Net Income. This reconciliation excludes Non-Core items such as the Fair Value Adjustment for TRUPs and gain or loss on sale of other real estate owned (OREO). Management believes that financial results are more comparative excluding the impact of such non-core items.

Results of Operations

Year Ended December 31, 2021:

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased $1,137,000 when compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase is the result of an increase of $2.8 million in loan interest income and fees and $904,000 in investment income, partially offset by an increase of $888,000 in salary and employee benefits, a decrease of $491,000 in interest income resulting from the decrease in the amount of funds held in and rates paid on overnight deposits at FRB, and the change in the fair value of junior subordinated debentures. The change in fair value of junior subordinated debentures, which is caused by changes in LIBOR rates, was reflected as a $970,000 gain for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to a $660,000 loss for the year ended December 31, 2021. The provision for credit losses was $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. ROAE for the year ended December 31, 2021 was 8.47%, compared to 7.55% for the year ended December 31, 2020. ROAA was 0.82% for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to 0.86% for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The annualized average cost of deposits was 0.17% for the year ended December 31, 2021, a decrease from 0.22% for the year ended December 31, 2020. Average interest-bearing deposits increased 21.17% between the periods ended December 31, 2020 and 2021 from $535.8 million to $649.2 million, respectively.

Net interest income, before the provision for credit losses, for the year ended December 31, 2021 totaled $35.7 million, an increase of $3.4 million, or 10.45%, from $32.3 million for the same period ended December 31, 2020. The Company's net interest margin contracted from 3.41% for the year ended December 31, 2020 to 3.16% for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was the result of earning assets repricing in the current low interest rate environment. This decrease was partially offset by a decrease in the yield on interest-bearing liabilities. Loan yields decreased from 5.06% to 4.51% between the two periods. The yield on interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 0.42% to 0.31% between the two periods. Included in interest income for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $920,000 in fees related to SBA PPP loans, compared to $515,000 for the same period ended December 31, 2020.

Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2021 totaled $3.4 million, a decrease of $1.8 million when compared to the $5.2 million reported for the year ended December 31, 2020. On a year-over-year comparative basis, noninterest income decreased primarily due to a loss on the fair value of junior subordinated debentures (TRUPs) of $660,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to a gain of $970,000 for the same period in 2020. The change in the fair value of TRUPs reflected in noninterest income was caused by fluctuations in the LIBOR yield curve. Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2020, includes a $310,000 gain in proceeds from bank-owned life insurance. Customer service fees totaled $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, noninterest expense totaled $23.6 million, an increase of $1.3 million compared to $22.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. On a year-over-year comparative basis, noninterest expense increased due to increases in salaries and employee benefits of $888,000, increases in professional fees of $245,000, and increases in regulatory assessments of $284,000 due to an increase in FDIC assessment rate, partially offset by a decrease in other real estate owned ("OREO") expense of $716,000 related to the write-down of $727,000 recognized during 2020. Salaries and employee benefits expense was lower in 2020 due to a reduction in branch and employee hours that occurred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The efficiency ratio for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased to 60.50%, compared to 59.46% for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase is attributed to the increase in noninterest expense outpacing the growth in revenue.

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $3.5 million for the same period in 2020. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2021 was 24.16%, compared to 27.80% for the year ended December 31, 2020. The effective tax rate for 2021 reflects an increase in favorable permanent differences on the Company's filed tax returns and during the year, resulting in lower provision expense.

Quarter Ended December 31, 2021:

For the quarter ended December 31, 2021, the Company reported net income of $3.4 million and earnings per basic and diluted share of $0.20, compared to net income of $1.9 million and $0.11 per basic and diluted share for the same period ended December 31, 2020. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 was $2.6 million and $0.15 per basic and diluted share.

Net interest income, before the provision for credit losses, was $9.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, representing a $836,000, or 9.8%, increase from the $8.5 million reported at December 31, 2020. The increase in net interest income was driven by growth in the loan and investment portfolios. The Company's net interest margin decreased from 3.36% to 3.08% between the quarters ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The decrease in the net interest margin was due to decreases in yields on loans and investment securities and was partially offset by a decrease in average rates paid on deposits and an increase in yields on interest-bearing deposits at FRB. Net interest income during the quarter ended December 31, 2021 increased 0.4% from the $9.3 million reported during the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Noninterest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 totaled $1.3 million, an increase of $824,000 from the $467,000 in non-interest income reported for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The increase is primarily attributed to an increase of $512,000 in the fair value of junior subordinated debentures between the two quarters and $303,000 in income received from an investment in a limited partnership during the fourth quarter of 2021 reported in other noninterest income. Noninterest income increased $361,000 from the $930,000 reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. This was primarily due to the income received from the limited partnership.

Noninterest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 totaled $6.3 million, reflecting a $477,000 increase over $5.8 million reported for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, and a $118,000 increase from the $6.2 million reported from the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The increase between the quarters ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 resulted partially from increases of $215,000 in salaries and employee benefits and $185,000 in the net cost of OREO, partially offset by a decrease of $188,000 in professional fees. Included in OREO expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 is $155,000 in settlement expenses to resolve litigation related to OREO.

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $564,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, compared to $651,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, and $1.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 was 14.34%, compared to 25.3% and 28.5% for the quarters ended December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 reflects an increase in favorable permanent differences on the Company's filed tax returns and during the year, resulting in lower provision expense.

Balance Sheet Review

Total assets increased $238.3 million, or 21.81%, between December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Gross loan balances increased $213.9 million and investment securities increased $96.5 million. As a result of purchases of securities for investment and additions to the loan portfolio, total cash and cash equivalents decreased $74.9 million between December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021. Unfunded loan commitments increased from $216.8 million at December 31, 2020 to $239.1 million at December 31, 2021. OREO balances decreased from $5.0 million at December 31, 2020 to $4.6 million at December 31, 2021. The reduction is attributed to the sale of one OREO property during the year.

Total deposits increased $235.5 million, or 24.72%, to $1.19 billion during the year ended December 31, 2021. This increase was due to increases of $127.3 million in NOW and money market accounts, $84.9 million in noninterest bearing deposits, $17.3 million in savings accounts, and $6.1 million in time deposits. In total, NOW, money market and savings accounts increased 28.95% to $643.8 million at December 31, 2021, compared to $499.2 million at December 31, 2020. Noninterest bearing deposits increased 21.65% to $476.7 million at December 31, 2021, compared to $391.9 million at December 31, 2020. Core deposits, which are made up of the balance of noninterest bearing deposits, NOW, money market, savings, and time deposits accounts less than $250,000, increased $235.7 million.

Shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2021 was $120.2 million, an increase of $2.4 million from shareholders’ equity of $117.8 million at December 31, 2020. This increase in equity was the result of an increase in retained earnings and was partially offset by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss. At December 31, 2021 there was an accumulated other comprehensive loss of $1.2 million, as compared to an accumulated other comprehensive loss of $728,000 at December 31, 2020. The increase in the loss was primarily the result of an increase in unrealized losses on investment securities, offset by a decrease in the loss on junior subordinated debentures (TRUPs) caused by a change in market credit spreads during the years ended December 31, 2021.

The Board of Directors of United Security Bancshares declared a cash dividend on common stock of $0.11 per share on December 12, 2021. The dividend was payable on January 18, 2022, to shareholders of record as of January 3, 2022. No assurances can be provided that future dividends will be declared and/or as to the timing of such future dividends, if any. The Company continues to be well capitalized and expects to maintain adequate capital levels.

Credit Quality

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to a provision of $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Net loan charge-offs totaled $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to net loan charge-offs of $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Net charge-offs totaled $265,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, compared to $817,000 and $508,000 for the quarters ended December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2021, respectively. The provision recorded during the year is attributed to loan portfolio growth, agricultural loan downgrades,and student loan charge-offs, partially offset by the continuation of the positive trend in the economic environment. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the provision recorded was attributed to growth of the loan portfolio, net charge-offs, and economic uncertainty resulting from COVID-19. In 2020, the Company had executed a total of 28 payment deferrals or modifications on outstanding loan balances of $70.0 million in connection with the COVID-19 relief provided by the CARES Act and interagency guidance issued in March 2020. The Company has not recognized any losses on the loan modifications and as of December 31, 2021, there were no modifications outstanding.

The Company's allowance for loan loss totaled 1.07% of the loan portfolio at December 31, 2021, compared to 1.30% at December 31, 2020. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of gross loans is primarily the result of a change in loan mix from an increase in residential mortgage loans purchased during the year. The reserve required on the residential mortgage loan segment is lower than reserves required for other loan segments due to lower historical loss rates. Management considers the allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2021 to be adequate.

Non-performing assets, comprised of nonaccrual loans, troubled debt restructures (TDRs), other real estate owned through foreclosure, and loans more than 90 days past due and still accruing interest, decreased $899,000 between December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021 to $16.6 million. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets decreased from 1.61% at December 31, 2020 to 1.25% at December 31, 2021. The decrease in nonperforming assets is attributed to the reduction in past due loans more than 90 days and still accruing interest from $513,000 at December 31, 2020 to $453,000 at December 31, 2021, and decreases in total restructured loans of $833,000 between December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021. OREO balances decreased from $5.0 million at December 31, 2020 to $4.6 million at December 31, 2021. Nonaccrual loans decreased $58,000 between December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021.
