Earnings per share were $0.40 (diluted) for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $0.34 (diluted) for the prior quarter, and $0.17 (diluted) for the third quarter of 2020.

Financial Highlights

Performance highlights for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the quarter ending September 30, 2020, and the quarter ending June 30, 2021:

  • For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company's return on average equity was 11.35%, as compared to 5.26% and 10.36% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2021, respectively.
  • For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company's return on average assets was 0.92%, as compared to 0.51% and 0.89% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2021, respectively.
  • For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company's net interest margin was 3.26%, as compared to 3.45% and 3.54% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2021, respectively.
  • For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company's efficiency ratio was 60.58%, as compared to 69.88% and 64.79% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2021, respectively.
  • For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company's provision expense for loan losses was $0, as compared to $650 thousand and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2021, respectively.
  • As of September 30, 2021, the Company's nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.11%, as compared to 0.20% and 0.23% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2021, respectively.
  • As of September 30, 2021, the Company reported total assets, total deposits, and total loans of $1.008 billion, $911.7 million, and $565.0 million, respectively.

"We are pleased with our third quarter performance, especially in light of the challenging operating environment," commented Samuel D. Jimenez, chief executive officer. "We continue to experience significant deposit and corresponding asset growth. Total assets have increase by $175 million or 21% in the first three quarters of 2021. While organic core loan growth, excluding PPP, remains robust at an annualized growth rate of 8%, substantial excess liquidity remains, and has been deployed into higher yielding securities."

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

The Company's third quarter 2021 net interest income increased $1.49 million or 23.94% as compared with the quarter ending September 30, 2020. This increase was driven by higher investment income, income generated by a $25 million consumer loan purchase in the second quarter of 2021, and increased revenue recognition from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans.

The Company's net interest margin decreased by 19 basis points (bps) or 5.51% when compared to the quarter ending September 30, 2020. This decrease was primarily driven by the Company's mix of average earning assets. Lower yielding average earning asset balances have grown at an exceeding rate relative to higher yielding average earning assets.

In general terms, prepaying and repricing higher yielding loans have been substantially replaced and supplemented with lower yielding investment securities purchased in the current year. The negative impact has been partially offset by higher yields resulting from fee recognition on PPP loan forgiveness, and to a lesser extent, the impact of the higher yielding consumer loans purchased during the second quarter.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company did not make any provisions for loan losses in the quarter ending September 30, 2021, as compared to $650 thousand in the quarter ending September 30, 2020. Uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, and the potential negative impact on our clients and asset quality dictated the provisions made in the same period a year ago. Improving economic conditions and diminished concern with the Company's asset quality eliminated the need for any additional loan loss provisions for the previous sequential four quarters.

Noninterest Expenses

The Company's third quarter 2021 non-interest expenses increased $274 thousand, or 6.0%, to $4.85 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $4.58 million for the third quarter of 2020. This increase is mostly due to a $150 thousand community relations donation to the Salinas Regional Sports Authority to expand on its vision to "develop, build and manage high quality facilities" for youth soccer in the Salinas area.

Balance Sheet Summary

The Company's total assets increased $56.8 million or 5.98% to $1.008 billion as compared to $950.7 million at June 30, 2021.

Total loans outstanding were $565.0 million as of September 30, 2021. This represents a $63.6 million decrease or 10.12% from the September 30, 2020 outstanding balance of $628.6 million. The decrease in loan level reflected PPP loan forgiveness and payoff activity in the purchased residential loan portfolio, offset by an increase in originations of commercial real estate core loans, and the purchase of a $25 million consumer loan pool in May, 2021.

PPP loans outstanding were $42.4 million as of September 30, 2021, and included a deferred fee balance of $1.4 million. At September 30, 2020, PPP loans outstanding were $106.6 million and included a deferred fee balance of $2.5 million.

The investment portfolio increased $237.8 million to $297.5 million from an outstanding balance of $59.6 million as of September 30, 2020. Incoming cashflows from deposit growth and prepaying earning assets were significantly deployed in bonds. The majority of the investments were made in mortgage-backed securities, municipal securities, andfloating rate securities.

Total deposits were $911.7 million as of September 30, 2021. This represents a $250.2 million increase or 37.81% from the September 30, 2020 outstanding balance of $661.6 million. A significant portion of this growth was associated with PPP loan proceeds deposited with the Bank. Growth in noninterest-bearing demand deposit accounts were $81.7 million or 32.65% of the total deposit growth over the 12 months ending on September 30, 2021. The balance of the deposit growth was distributed among interest-bearing deposit accounts with the exception of time deposits which decreased by $4.7 million to $12.4 million.

Asset Quality

At September 30, 2021, non-performing assets were 0.11% of the Company's total assets, compared with 0.23% at June 30, 2021. At September 30, 2021, the allowance for loan losses was 1.56% of outstanding loans, compared to 1.46% at June 30, 2021. The Bank recorded a $22 thousand charge-off in the third quarter related to the purchased consumer loan portfolio. The Bank recorded net recoveries of $12 thousand in each of the three quarters of 2021.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company does not have any outstanding loan deferments or forbearances stemming from COVID-19.
