Summit State Bank Reports $1,046,000 or 89% Increase in Net Income for Second Quarter 2020 and Declaration of Dividend
SANTA ROSA, Calif., July 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Summit State Bank (Nasdaq: SSBI) today reported net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 of $2,218,000 and diluted earnings per share of $0.37. This compares to net income of $1,172,000 and diluted earnings per share of $0.19 for the same quarter in 2019. Additionally, a quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share was declared for common shareholders.
Dividend
The Board of Directors declared a $0.12 per share quarterly dividend on July 27, 2020 to be paid on August 21, 2020 to shareholders of record on August 14, 2020.
Net Income and Results of Operations
Net income increased $1,046,000 or 89% the second quarter of 2020 compared to second quarter of 2019. Net income increased $2,037,000 or 78% in the first six months of 2020 compared to the first six months of 2019.
Net interest income increased to $7,174,000 in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $5,499,000 in the second quarter of 2019. The increase in net interest income is primarily attributable to increases in loan balances with a lesser portion of this increase driven by the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans.
“The Bank is pleased to announce four consecutive quarters of strong earnings totaling $8,514,000 or $1.40 per share,” said Brian Reed, President and CEO. “Three and a half years ago, we implemented a strategic plan to restructure and grow the Bank’s balance sheet and this plan is now showing consistently strong earnings and balance sheet growth.”
“The COVID-19 pandemic presents a number of economic challenges and we continue to actively support our customers and local businesses in these unprecedented times,” said Reed. “To date we funded over $95,000,000 of PPP loans representing 13.5% of the June 30, 2020 loan portfolio. In these uncertain times we feel fortunate to be a position to help our customers and community. We stand ready to be a continue source of support for them going forward.”
Nonperforming assets were $410,000 or 0.05% of total assets at June 30, 2020 compared to $715,000 or 0.11% at June 30, 2019. Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2020 consist of loans which are predominantly secured by real property. The Bank had a provision expense of $500,000 in the second quarter of 2020. At June 30, 2020 the allowance for loan losses to total loans including SBA-guaranteed PPP loans was 1.11% at June 30, 2020 and 1.17% at June 30, 2019. Excluding $95,534,000 of PPP loans increases the ratio of allowance for loans losses to 1.28% at June 30, 2020.
In the second quarter of 2020 the Bank deferred payments on over $142,000,000 or 20% of loans in its portfolio. The deferral process increases the total balance due on the loan and re-amortizes the monthly payment through the original maturity date. As of June 30, 2020, approximately $54,000,000 or 9% of the loan portfolio excluding PPP loans were in deferral.
“The Bank has deliberately built its balance sheet growth around strong-performing loans,” notes Reed. “At the onset of the pandemic and continuing through today, the Bank has experienced minimal credit problems. We are actively monitoring our portfolio, assisting our customers through this economic downturn, and ensuring we maintain sufficient loan loss reserves.”
Reed further explains “The Bank will continue monitoring this fluid situation. We are watching trends in high-risk industries including retail, restaurants, and lodging. These high-risk industries comprise approximately 14% of our portfolio and we are increasing our loan loss reserves due to the increased risk of loss.”
Non-interest income increased in the second quarter of 2020 to $693,000 compared to $340,000 in the second quarter of 2019. The Bank recognized $320,000 in gains on sales of SBA guaranteed loan balances in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $0 in gains on sales of SBA guaranteed loans balances in the second quarter of 2019.
Total loans and deposits also increased when comparing the second quarter of 2020 to second quarter of 2019; loans were $701,808,000 in 2020 (includes $95,534,000 of PPP loans) compared to $536,674,000 in 2019 and deposits were $709,473,000 in 2020 compared to $532,257,000 in 2019. The net interest margin increased to 3.71% for the second quarter of 2020 compared to 3.64% for the second quarter of 2019.
Annualized return on average assets for the second quarter of 2020 was 1.12%, annualized return on average equity was 12.71% and the efficiency ratio was 53.59%. The second quarter of 2019 had an annualized return on average assets of 0.75%, annualized return on average equity of 7.36% and efficiency ratio of 68.34%.
There was a $221,000 or 6% increase in operating expenses in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019. The increase in expenses is primarily due to an increase in employee expenses and occupancy costs. The Bank is leveling off of a growth trend in operating expenses since the middle of 2019 resulting in an improvement in the efficiency ratio by 14.75% when comparing second quarter of 2020 to second quarter of 2019.
