Comments from the President and Chief Executive Officer
“While the winding down of the Paycheck Protection Program negatively affected interest income, our net interest margin increased 40 basis points year over year reflecting the organic growth of our loan portfolio as we deployed excess cash into higher earning assets. The continued reduction in our average cost of funds and growth in our noninterest-bearing deposits also contributed to our improved net interest margin,” remarked Ms. Stewart, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Operating Results

Net interest income decreased $98 thousand, or 1.3%, to $7.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $7.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and increased $1.1 million, or 16.6%, from $6.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily the result of lower interest income earned on loans, partially offset by higher interest income from investments and cash and cash equivalents and lower interest expense paid on deposits . The increase from the same quarter last year was primarily the result of lower interest expense paid on deposits and higher interest income earned on loans, investments and interest-bearing cash.

Interest income decreased $146 thousand, or 1.7%, to $8.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $8.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and increased $214 thousand, or 2.7%, from $8.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily due to a two basis point decrease in average loan yields. The increase in interest income from the same quarter last year was due primarily to higher average loan balances, partially offset by a 38 basis point decline in the average loan yield.

Interest income on loans decreased $163 thousand, or 2.0%, to $8.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $8.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, and increased $189 thousand, or 2.4%, from $7.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The average balance of total loans was $694.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $690.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and $628.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The average yield on total loans was 4.71% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to 4.73% for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and 5.09% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The decline in the average yield on loans during the current quarter compared to the prior quarter primarily was due to lower recognition of net deferred fees due to a reduced volume of PPP loan repayments from U.S. Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) loan forgiveness, and new loan originations at lower rates, primarily related to fixed rate mortgage loans. The decrease in the average yield on loans during the current quarter compared to the same quarter in 2021 was primarily due to the decrease in the recognition of net deferred fees due to loan repayments from SBA loan forgiveness, lower rates on new originations and adjustable rate loans resetting to lower current market rates. The Bank recognized $84 thousand, $192 thousand, and $768 thousand in deferred fees and interest income related to PPP loan forgiveness repayments during the three months ended March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and March 31, 2021, respectively. Refer to the discussion below for the impact of PPP on our net interest margin. As of March 31, 2022, total unrecognized fees on PPP loans were $60 thousand. Interest income on investments and interest-bearing cash increased $17 thousand to $138 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $121 thousand for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, and increased $25 thousand from $113 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. This increase compared to the same quarter one year ago was due to both a higher average balance and average yield for investments and interest-bearing cash.

Interest expense decreased $48 thousand, or 7.5%, to $595 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $643 thousand for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and decreased $868 thousand, or 59.3%, from $1.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily due to both a lower average rate and average balance of certificate accounts. The average rate paid on certificate accounts declined three basis points to 1.09% while the average balance declined $8.7 million, or 7.8%, to $102.3 million during the current quarter compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2021. The decrease in interest expense during the current quarter from the comparable period a year ago was primarily the result of a 46 basis point decline in the average cost of deposits reflecting reduced rates paid on all deposits and a $112.2 million, or 52.3%, decline in the average balance of certificate accounts, partially offset by a $106.6 million, or 26.3%, increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits other than certificate accounts. In addition, total deposit costs were favorably impacted by the $4.0 million increase in the average balance of noninterest bearing deposits to $194.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $190.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, and the $33.4 million increase in average balance from the same period last year. The increase in the average balance of noninterest bearing deposits contributed to the three basis point decrease in the average cost of total deposits to 0.21% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, from 0.24% for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, and the decline of 46 basis points from 0.67% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The average cost of subordinated notes increased to 5.85% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, from 5.73% for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, and decreased from 5.88% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Net interest margin (annualized) was 3.49% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to 3.53% for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and 3.09% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in net interest margin from the prior quarter was due primarily to the lower average yield earned on loans, partially offset by a two basis point decline in the cost of total interest-bearing liabilities. The increase from the comparable period in 2021 was primarily due to the decline in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities exceeding the decline in yields earned on interest-earning assets. During the first quarter of 2022, the average yield earned on PPP loans, including the recognition of the net deferred fees for PPP

loans repaid and forgiven by the SBA, resulted in a positive impact to the net interest margin of three basis points, compared to a positive impact of five basis points during the quarter ended December 31, 2021, and a positive impact of 18 basis points during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $125 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as compared to no provision for loan losses for the quarters ended December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021. The increase in the provision for loan losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2021 resulted primarily from the increase in our loan portfolio, partially offset by a shift in the loan portfolio composition to loan types requiring a lower general loan allowance. The provision for loan losses in the first quarter of 2022 also reflects the inherent uncertainty related to the economic environment as a result of local, national and global events.

Noninterest income increased $40 thousand, or 2.7%, to $1.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $1.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and decreased $1.2 million, or 43.7%, from $2.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The increase in noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021, primarily resulted from a positive $382 thousand change to our fair value adjustment on mortgage servicing rights as rising interest rates slowed prepayment speeds, partially offset by a $83 thousand decrease in service fees and income resulting primarily from lower loan fees and foreign ATM fees, a $114 thousand decrease in market value related to our deferred compensation and a $142 thousand decrease in the net gain on sale of loans, as a result of decreased refinance activity over the past quarter. The decrease in noninterest income from the comparable period in 2021 was primarily due to a $1.7 million decrease in net gain on sale of loans due to a decline in both the amount of loans originated for sale and gross margins for loans sold. Loans sold during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, totaled $12.2 million, compared to $19.1 million and $68.1 million during the quarters ended December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

Noninterest expense decreased $93 thousand, or 1.3%, to $6.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $6.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and increased $673 thousand, or 10.9%, from $6.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The decrease from the quarter ended December 31, 2021 was a result of a decrease in operations expense of $418 thousand primarily due to decreases in various expenses including marketing expenses, reserves for unfunded loan commitments, and professional fees, partially offset by an increase in salaries and benefits expense of $381 thousand primarily due to higher stock compensation expense and the impact of annual wage increases during the quarter. The increase in noninterest expense compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits of $523 thousand primarily due to higher wages and incentive compensation, higher medical expenses and lower deferred compensation, partially offset by a decrease in commission expense related to a decline in mortgage originations in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. Operations expense also increased $108 thousand due to increases in various accounts including marketing expenses, office related expenses, and professional fees.

The efficiency ratio for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was 74.77%, compared to 75.31% for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and 66.69% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The improvement in the efficiency ratio for the current quarter compared to the prior quarter is primarily due to lower noninterest expense and lower net interest income, partially offset by slightly higher noninterest income. The weakening in the efficiency ratio for the current quarter compared to the same period in the prior year is primarily due to higher noninterest expense and lower revenues.

Balance Sheet Review, Capital Management and Credit Quality

Assets at March 31, 2022 totaled $958.9 million, compared to $919.7 million at December 31, 2021 and $936.7 million at March 31, 2021. The increase in assets from the sequential quarter was primarily due to increases in cash and cash equivalents, investment securities, and loans held-for-portfolio. The increase from one year ago was primarily a result of increases in loans held-for-portfolio, investment securities, and bank owned life insurance (BOLI), partially offset by lower balances in cash and cash equivalents and decreases in loans held-for-sale.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $13.5 million, or 7.4%, to $197.1 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $183.6 million at December 31, 2021, and decreased $72.5 million, or 26.9%, from $269.6 million at March 31, 2021. The increase from the prior quarter-end was primarily due to increases in noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing deposits, partially related to temporary increases in lawyer trust accounts. These increases were partially offset by the redeployment of excess liquidity into higher earning loans and investments. The decrease from one year ago was due to deploying cash earning a nominal yield into higher earning loans and investments.

Investment securities increased $4.0 million, or 47.8%, to $12.4 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $8.4 million at December 31, 2021, and increased $3.4 million, or 37.1%, from $9.1 million at March 31, 2021. Held-to-maturity securities totaled $2.2 million at March 31, 2022, compared to none at December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021. The increase was due to the purchase of $2.2 million in municipal bonds and agency mortgage-backed securities classified as held-to-maturity securities during the first quarter of 2022. Available-for-sale securities totaled $10.2 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $8.4 million at December 31, 2021, and $9.1 million at March 31, 2021. The increase in available-for-sale securities from the prior quarter was primarily due the purchase of $2.8 million in municipal bonds and agency mortgage-backed securities, partially offset by regularly scheduled payments and maturities. The increase from the same period one year ago was primarily due to investment purchases throughout the previous year, partially offset by calls of securities and regularly scheduled payments and maturities.

Loans held-for-sale totaled $1.3 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $3.1 million at December 31, 2021 and $10.7 million at March 31, 2021. The decreases were primarily due to a decline in mortgage originations reflecting reduced refinance activity.

Loans held-for-portfolio increased to $709.5 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $686.4 million at December 31, 2021 and increased from $614.4 million at March 31, 2021. The increase in loans held-for-portfolio at March 31, 2022, compared to the prior quarter and one year ago, primarily resulted from increases across all loan classes, excluding commercial business loans. The increases primarily resulted from focused marketing campaigns, increased utilization of digital marketing tools and the addition of experienced lending staff during 2021, as well as strategic loan purchases. These increases were partially offset by the decrease in commercial business loans resulting from the forgiveness by the SBA. Refer to the Loans table below for additional detail.

Nonperforming assets ("NPAs"), which are comprised of nonaccrual loans, including nonperforming troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs"), other real estate owned ("OREO"), and other repossessed assets, decreased $805 thousand, or 13.0%, to $5.4 million at March 31, 2022, from $6.2 million at December 31, 2021 and increased $2.1 million, or 64.5% from $3.3 million at March 31, 2021. The decrease in nonperforming assets during the current quarter compared to the prior quarter primarily was due to decreases in one-to-four family loans and floating homes. Loans classified as TDRs totaled $2.3 million, $2.6 million and $3.2 million at March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively, of which $273 thousand, $422 thousand and $244 thousand, respectively, were on nonaccrual status. At March 31, 2022, there were no loans operating under forbearance agreements due to COVID-19.

NPAs to total assets were 0.56%, 0.68% and 0.35% at March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively. The allowance for loan losses to total loans outstanding was 0.90%, 0.92% and 0.97% at March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively.Excluding PPP loans of $2.1 million which are 100% guaranteed by the SBA, the allowance for loan losses totaled 0.91% of total loans outstanding at March 31, 2022, compared to 0.92% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2021, excluding PPP loans of $4.2 million, and 1.07% of total loans outstanding at March 31, 2021, excluding PPP loans of $61.2 million (See Non-GAAP reconciliation on page 14). Net loan charge-offs during the first quarter of 2022 totaled $24 thousand compared to net charge-offs of $21 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2021, and net charge-offs of $65 thousand for the first quarter of 2021.

Deposits increased $37.8 million, or 4.7%, to $836.1 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $798.3 million at December 31, 2021 and increased $19.4 million, or 2.4%, from $816.7 million at March 31, 2021. The increase in deposits compared to the prior quarter was primarily a result of deposit growth from specialty business relationships and temporary increases in lawyer trust accounts, partially offset by a managed run-off of higher costing maturing certificates of deposits. The increase in deposits compared to the year ago quarter was primarily a result of higher balances in existing client accounts, developing further relationships with PPP borrowers who were not previously clients, temporary increases in lawyer trust accounts, as well as reduced withdrawals reflecting changes in customer spending habits due to the COVID-19 pandemic.Our noninterest-bearing deposits increased $18.3 million, or 9.6% to $208.8 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $190.5 million at December 31, 2021 and increased $20.1 million, or 10.6% from $188.7 million at March 31, 2021.Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 25.0%, 23.9% and 23.1% of total deposits at March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

There were no outstanding FHLB advances at each of March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021. Subordinated notes, net totaled $11.6 million at each of March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021.

Stockholders’ equity totaled $93.9 million at March 31, 2022, an increase of $492 thousand, or 0.5%, from $93.4 million at December 31, 2021, and an increase of $6.3 million, or 7.2%, from $87.6 million at March 31, 2021. The increase in stockholders’ equity from December 31, 2021 was primarily the result of net income earned of $1.7 million, partially offset by the payment of $709 thousand in dividends to Company stockholders during the current quarter and an unrealized loss, net of tax, of $608 thousand on our available-for-sale securities as a result of declining market values.

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. We have presented this non-GAAP financial measure because management believes this non-GAAP measure to be a useful measurement in evaluating the adequacy of the amount of the allowance for loan losses to total loans as the balance of PPP loans, which are guaranteed by the SBA, has been significant to the loan portfolio. This 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.
