InBank’s approach to relationship banking is proving successful and we feel confident this approach will continue to allow us to grow top line revenue.”

Recent Developments

Subsequent to the third quarter, on October 4, 2021 the Company announced the completion of a private placement of $20 million of 3.75% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2031. The notes will mature on October 31, 2031 and will initially bear interest at a rate equal to 3.75% per annum from and including October 1, 2021 to, but excluding, October 31, 2026, payable quarterly in arrears. Thereafter, the notes will bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to a benchmark rate, which is expected to be Three-Month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate, plus a spread of 293 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears. After five years, the Company at its option may redeem the notes in whole or in part, on any interest payment date, at an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding principal amount being redeemed plus accrued but unpaid interest, to but excluding the redemption date. The notes are intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes.

Results of Operations

Net income for the third quarter of 2021 was $621,000, or $0.08 per share, compared to net income of $778,000, or $0.10 per share, for the linked quarter, and $19,000, or $0.00 per share, for the same quarter last year. The decrease over the linked quarter was primarily the result of a decrease in net interest income as a result of lower PPP loan fees and an increase in noninterest expense, partially offset by an increase in noninterest income. The increase from the same quarter last year was primarily the result of an increase in both net interest income and noninterest income, partially offset by increases in noninterest expense and provision for loan losses. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $2.1 million, or $0.27 per share, representing an increase of 98.2% compared to $1.0 million, or $0.15 per share for the same period in 2020.

Net interest margin, expressed as net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets, was 3.45% during the third quarter of 2021, compared to 3.73% during the linked quarter, and 3.23% during the same quarter last year.

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2021 was $5.9 million, a decrease of $347,000, or 5.6%, over the linked quarter, and an increase of $1.2 million, or 26.4%, over the same quarter last year.

  • Interest income decreased to $6.2 million from $6.6 million during the linked quarter and increased from $5.1 million during the same quarter last year.
    • The decrease from the linked quarter was primarily due to a decrease in the fees on PPP loans and a decrease in yields on investment securities, partially offset by an increase in core loan income due to growth in both volume and rate.
    • The increase compared to same quarter last year was primarily the result of increases in core loans and investment securities balances.
  • Interest expense decreased to $329,000 from $377,000 during the linked quarter and decreased from $477,000 during the same quarter last year.
    • The decrease over the linked quarter was primarily due to an overall decrease in the cost of funds.
    • The decrease from the same quarter last year was due to a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing deposits and a decrease in the volume of borrowings.

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2021 was $1.1 million, an increase of $290,000, or 36.1%, over the linked quarter, and an increase of $575,000, or 110.8%, from the same quarter last year. The increase over the linked quarter was primarily due to increase in service charges and fees, gain on sale of investment securities and a one-time restitution payment from one of the Bank’s vendors. The increase from the same quarter last year was due to an overall increase in most noninterest income categories, including service charges and fees, SBA and mortgage fees, and gain on sale of investment securities.

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2021 was $5.8 million, an increase of $154,000, or 2.7% when compared to the linked quarter, and an increase of 13.7% from $5.1 million for the same quarter last year. The increase over the linked quarter was primarily due to increases in salaries and benefits and an increase in general and administrative expenses as a result of more customer deposits and bank services. The increase over the same quarter last year was mostly due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits expense as we continued to hire and invest in new personnel to support our growth plans.

The Company’s efficiency ratio was 85.1% in the third quarter of 2021, compared with 80.7% in the linked quarter and 99.1% in the third quarter of 2020.

Nonperforming loans, which include non-accrual loans and loans more than 90 days past due and still accruing, were $287,000, or 0.07% of total loans HFI at September 30, 2021, compared to $728,000, or 0.17% of total loans HFI at June 30, 2021.

Loans delinquent (past due) 30-89 days were $1.3 million, or 0.30% of total loans HFI at September 30, 2021, compared to $4.9 million, or 1.17% of total loans at June 30, 2021. This decrease was largely due to a single loan that was in the process of renewal in the second quarter.

The allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) totaled $3.1 million, or 0.72% of total loans HFI at September 30, 2021.  If PPP loans are excluded, the ALLL represented 0.77% of loans HFI (excl PPP) at September 30, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, the Company also had $3.7 million in purchase discounts on loans acquired in the acquisition of the Bank in 2018.

The Company recorded $4,000 of net recoveries for the second quarter of 2021.

Loan modification programs: During the second quarter of 2020, InBank rolled out InNeed, two programs for loan deferrals for borrowers that were adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The programs allowed an interest-only option for 90 days or a 90-day total payment deferral (interest and principal).  The programs were discontinued during the first quarter of 2021. 57 borrowers participated in the programs and all borrowers have remained current since returning to fully amortizing payments.

Capital

Capital Ratios of the Company and InBank continue to exceed the “well-capitalized” regulatory thresholds. At September 30, 2021, InBank’s leverage ratio was 9.25% and the total risk-based capital ratio was 13.17%. During the third quarter, the Company downstreamed $3.0 million of capital into InBank. At September 30, 2021, the Company had an additional $2.9 million in cash at the Company level. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company received the $20 million in proceeds (less issuance costs) from the issuance of the subordinated notes described earlier.

At September 30, 2021, the Company had tangible common equity (total stockholders’ equity less intangible assets) of $66.5 million and $8.31 tangible book value per share, with 8,000,150 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the same date. The decrease in tangible book value was primarily due to a decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of a decreases in net unrealized gains on the Company’s available-for-sale investment securities due to changes in market interest rates. The Company and the Bank paid no dividends during the quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the financial measures included in this press release are not measures of financial performance recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures include “efficiency ratio,” “tangible common equity,” “tangible common equity to tangible assets,” and “tangible book value per share.” Efficiency ratio is computed by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, excluding gain on sale of investment securities. Tangible common equity is computed by subtracting goodwill and core deposit intangibles from total stockholders’ equity. Tangible common equity to tangible assets is computed by dividing total assets, less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, by tangible common equity. Tangible book value per share is computed by dividing tangible common equity by common shares outstanding. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company’s financial position and performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for any analysis based on GAAP financial measures. Not all companies use the same calculation of these measures; therefore, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as presented by other companies.
