According to Carissa Rodeheaver, President and CEO, "2021 was a record earnings year for First United driven by reduced interest expense, release of provision, strong production in mortgage and wealth management and our ability to manage our core operating expenses. Much of the year was spent assisting our local business owners as they navigated PPP forgiveness and returned to a more normalized operating environment. During the year, we worked to realign the balance sheet which should provide future expense savings. The Bank is well-positioned for the anticipated rising interest rates and remains well-capitalized for future growth.  Our success in 2021 was attributed to the hard work of our dedicated associates.  We were pleased to reward all associates with a special performance bonus to recognize their exceptional efforts."   

Paycheck Protection Program

The Company continues to actively participate in the PPP administered by the Small Business Administration (the "SBA").  On January 19, 2021, the SBA implemented a third round of funding for PPP loans.  

During 2020, a total of $148.5 million in PPP loans were originated under the first two rounds of funding, consisting of 1,174 loans with an average loan size of $162 thousand.  During 2021, a total of $66.1 million in PPP loans were originated under the third round of funding, consisting of 870 loans with an average loan size of $80 thousand.

Net fees recognized in 2021 were $4.0 million due to amortization and forgiveness, compared to $2.4 million in 2020.

During 2020, 290 loans, totaling $34.5 million were forgiven, resulting in 885 loans with a remaining balance of $114.0 million at December 31, 2020.   During 2021, an additional 1,631 loans with an aggregate principal balance of $172.6 million, were forgiven, resulting in 65 loans with a remaining balance of $7.7 million at December 31, 2021.

Of the 2,044 PPP loans originated by the Bank since the PPP's inception, 1,978 loans, totaling $207.5 million, have been forgiven through the end of fourth quarter 2021, representing 97% of the number of loans originated and 96% of originated principal balances.

COVID Modifications

While the COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on most industries, some have been more affected than others.  In accordance with Section 4013 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act and related regulatory pronouncements, we have not accounted for modifications of loans affected by the pandemic as troubled debt restructurings nor have we designated them as past due or nonaccrual. 

As of December 31, 2021, total loan modifications were $9.4 million.  This amount included 13 commercial loans related to real estate rental, food services and health care sectors.  These loans are scheduled to return to contractual payment terms within the first quarter of 2022.

Income Statement Overview

Consolidated net income was $7.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $4.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2020.  Basic and diluted net income per share for the fourth quarter of 2021 were both $1.14, a 74% increase when compared to basic and diluted net income per share of $0.66 and $0.65, respectively for the fourth quarter of 2020.  The increase in earnings for the fourth quarter of 2021 was due to an increase in net interest income, a credit to provision expense, increased debit card income, the receipt of an insurance reimbursement, reduced professional fees and a credit in OREO expenses due to gains on sales.  These items were offset by increased non-interest expenses, primarily salaries and employee benefits and contributions.

Consolidated net income for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $19.8 million, inclusive of litigation settlement expenses of $3.3 million, Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") prepayment penalties of $2.4 million, an insurance reimbursement income of $1.4 million and contributions of $1.0 million, compared to $13.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.  Basic and diluted net income per share for 2021 were both $2.95, a 49.0% increase when compared to basic and diluted net income per share of $1.98 and $1.97, respectively, for 2020.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income, on a non-GAAP, FTE basis, increased by $1.8 million (14.7%) for the fourth quarter 2021 when compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.  This increase resulted from an increase in interest income of $0.6 million and a 56% decrease in interest expense of $1.2 million.  The increase in interest income on loans was a result of increased interest on the consumer loans related to the purchase of a loan pool in the second quarter, increased interest on the commercial portfolio related to new loans booked throughout the year as well as an increase in the unearned fees related to the PPP forgiveness during the quarter.  The reduction of interest expense resulted from the lowering of deposit rates throughout 2021, the declining balances in the higher cost CD portfolio and the prepayment of the FHLB advances in the third quarter.  The weighted rate on the $70.0 million FHLB long-term borrowings was 1.90%, which reduced interest expense of approximately $0.4 million in the fourth quarter.  The net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2021 was 3.49%, compared to 3.09% for the fourth quarter of 2020.  The net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2021 would have been 3.32% compared to 2.96% for the fourth quarter of 2020 after excluding the average balance of PPP loans of $16.0 million and $129.9, respectively, and interest and fees of $0.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

Net interest income, on a non-GAAP, FTE basis, increased by $4.0 million (8.1%) during the year ended December 31, 2021 when compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 driven by a $3.9 million (40.8%) decrease in interest expense and a slight increase in interest income of $0.1 million.  The decrease in interest expense resulted from proactive efforts to reduce the cost of funds by further reductions to rates on deposit accounts throughout 2021, the runoff of balances in the time deposits of $100,000 or more, including brokered deposits, and the expiration of empowered rates on money market accounts.  The net interest margin, on an FTE basis, declined to 3.28% for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to 3.34% for 2020.  The net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2021 would have been 3.14% compared to 3.46% for 2020 after excluding the average balance of PPP loans of $79.4 million and $137.0 million, respectively, and interest and fees of $4.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

Comparing the linked quarter, net interest income, on a non-GAAP, FTE basis, increased by $0.3 million (2.2%) in the fourth quarter of 2021 when compared to the third quarter of 2021. This increase was driven by a $0.4 million (27.6%) decrease in interest expense offset by a slight decrease in interest income of $0.1 million.  The decrease in interest expense resulted from continued efforts to reduce the cost of funds through further reductions to rates on deposit accounts early in the third quarter, the runoff of balances in the time deposits of $100,000 or more, the expiration of empowered rates on money market accounts, and the prepayment of $70.0 million of FHLB advances in the third quarter.  The net interest margin, on an FTE basis, increased to 3.49% for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to 3.38% for the third quarter of 2021. 

Non-Interest Income

Other operating income, including gains, for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased by approximately $1.3 million when compared with the same period of 2020.  Service charge and trust and brokerage income increased slightly during the fourth quarter of 2021 when compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.  Net gains decreased $0.7 million when comparing the fourth quarter of 2021 to the fourth quarter of 2020.  This decrease was due to the slowing of refinance activity in the mortgage portfolio, which resulted in fewer gains on sales in 2021 as well as losses on investment securities that were booked in the fourth quarter of 2020.  During the fourth quarter of 2021, the receipt of $1.4 million for an insurance reimbursement was recorded in other non-interest income, which also attributed to the increase in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Other operating income, including net gains on sales of mortgage loans and sales of investment securities, increased $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 when compared to 2020.  Gains on the sale of mortgage loans to the secondary market decreased $1.3 million due to refinancing activity occurring at a slower pace than the pace experienced in 2020. Trust and brokerage income increased $1.3 million year-over-year due to growth in new client relationships and assets under management.  Debit card income increased $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, when compared to 2020 due to growth in deposit relationships and increased customer usage of our electronic services. Other income increased $0.8 million, due primarily to the receipt of insurance proceeds related to litigation claims recorded in the first quarter of 2021.  Service charge income remained stable while gains on investment securities decreased $.5 million when comparing 2021 to 2020.

On a linked quarter basis, other operating income increased $1.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2021.  This increase was attributable to the $1.4 million in insurance reimbursement, increased debit card income and an increase in other miscellaneous income.  Trust income increased slightly when comparing the fourth quarter of 2021 to the third quarter of 2021.

Non-Interest Expense

Other operating expenses increased slightly by $0.2 million when comparing the fourth quarter of 2021 to the fourth quarter of 2020.  This increase was driven by an increase in salaries and benefits of $1.0 million related in part to a reduction in deferred loan origination costs in 2021 (primarily related to PPP activities), increased incentive pay related to year end incentives and a special performance bonus accrued for all associates.  During the fourth quarter, a charitable contribution of $1.0 million was made to fund First United Community Dreams Foundation, Inc., which is intended to benefit non-profit organizations within our market areas.  Occupancy, equipment and technology service expenses were stable during the fourth quarter of 2021 when compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.  Professional services fees declined $1.0 million when comparing the fourth quarter of 2021 to the same period of 2020 primarily due to reduced legal fees.  Other miscellaneous expenses, such as Visa processing fees, printed supplies, line rentals, contract labor, schools and seminars, dues and licenses, in-house training, trust department expense, debit card expense and miscellaneous loan fees, declined.  The decreases were offset by increases in personnel related expenses, business related meals and debit card related expenses. 

Other operating expenses increased $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 when compared to 2020.  This increase was driven by $3.3 million of litigation settlement expenses recorded in the first quarter of 2021, a $2.4 million penalty on the repayment of $70.0 million of FHLB advances in the third quarter of 2021 and the aforementioned $1.0 million charitable contribution to First United Community Dreams Foundation, Inc.  Salaries and benefits for 2021 increased $1.0 million when compared to 2020, related to a net increase of $0.7 million due to higher in salaries, incentive pay, stock compensation and 401(k) plan expense, offset by decreases in pension and life and health insurance costs and a $0.3 million offset in salary expense from deferred loan origination costs primarily attributable to PPP loans.  Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation premiums increased slightly by $0.2 million due to credits received on quarterly assessments in 2020. Equipment, occupancy and technology expenses decreased $0.9 million in 2021 when compared to 2020 as we began to realize cost savings from our core processor related to the new contract negotiated in the third quarter of 2020. OREO expenses were a net credit in the 2021 due to $1.3 million in net gains attributable to the sale of OREO properties.  Professional services decreased $0.3 million as a result of increased accounting and audit fees of $0.3 million, offset by a reduction of $0.5 million in consulting expenses.

When comparing the fourth quarter of 2021 to the third quarter of 2021, other operating expenses decreased $1.8 million.  The decrease was driven by the $2.4 million in FHLB prepayment penalties incurred in the third quarter of 2021 and a fourth quarter credit of $0.5 million in OREO expenses as a result of gains recognized on sales, offset by an increase in contributions of $1.1 million primarily related to the $1.0 million charitable contribution to First United Community Dreams Foundation, Inc. Equipment, occupancy and technology expenses remained stable as well as professional services and investor relations expenses when comparing the fourth quarter to the third quarter.

The effective income tax rates as a percentage of income for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were 24.9% and 22.2%, respectively.  The increase in the tax rate for 2021 was primarily due to the reduction in tax exempt income as well as the reduction in tax credits related to the expiration of a low-income housing tax credit in June 2021.  A new 2021 investment in a low-income housing tax credit is expected to provide tax benefits in 2022 and beyond.

Balance Sheet Overview

Total assets at December 31, 2021 decreased to $1.7 billion, representing a $3.6 million decrease since December 31, 2020.  During 2021, cash and interest-bearing deposits in other banks decreased by $33.7 million, the investment portfolio increased by $47.9 million and gross loans decreased by $14.1 million.  Management made strategic decisions to deploy excess cash balances in 2021.  Cash was utilized to purchase a $20.0 million consumer loan pool and a $39.0 million pool of mortgage loans for the purpose of offsetting the decline in mortgage portfolio balances due to the continued utilization of the FNMA secondary market for refinancing activity. Management also used $70.0 million to prepay FHLB advances in the third quarter. Additionally, approximately $60.0 million was used to purchase investment securities and to purchase a $10.0 million student loan pool late in the fourth quarter.  OREO balances decreased $4.9 million related to the sale of parcels of real estate securing a large commercial participation loan and additional sales of undeveloped lots.  We anticipate further reductions to OREO balances during the first quarter of 2022 as we consummate additional sale contracts.

Total liabilities decreased by $14.4 million when compared to liabilities at December 31, 2020.  The decrease in 2021 was attributable to deposit growth of $47.0 million due to stimulus programs and to growth in core relationships, increased balances in short-term borrowings related to our Treasury Management product, offset by the prepayment of $70.0 million in FHLB long-term borrowings. Total shareholders' equity increased by $10.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2021, as net income of $19.8 million was offset by the repurchase of $7.2 million (400,000 shares) of First United Corporation common stock, the payment of $3.2 million in dividends and the improvement of $1.5 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Outstanding loans of $1.2 billion at December 31, 2021 reflected a decline of $14.1 million during 2021.  Core commercial loan growth was offset by PPP loan forgiveness.  Commercial real estate ("CRE") loans increased by $5.1 million, acquisition and development loans increased by $11.1 million and commercial and industrial loans decreased by $85.8 million, as growth in core portfolio loans of $20.5 million was offset by PPP loan forgiveness.  Residential mortgage loans increased $25.5 million due to the purchase of a $39.0 million loan pool of 1-4 family residential loans, offset by the decline in mortgage portfolio balances due to the continued utilization of the FNMA secondary market for refinancing activity. Given the current low interest rate environment, customers were seeking longer-term, fixed-rate loans and management chose not to book these longer-term low fixed rate mortgage loans in the portfolio. The consumer loan portfolio increased by $29.9 million due to the purchase of a pool of consumer loans in the second quarter of 2021 and the purchase of a $10.0 million pool of student loans late in the fourth quarter as an effort to deploy excess cash into higher yielding, short-term assets.  Management strategically purchased loan pools to complement the portfolio loans and to assist in managing interest rate risk.

Commercial loan production for the year ended December 31, 2021 was approximately $178.0 million, with $42.0 million originated during the fourth quarter, exclusive of PPP loan production. PPP loan production was approximately $64.3 million for 2021.   At December 31, 2021, unfunded, committed commercial construction loans totaled approximately $25.5 million. Commercial amortization and payoffs were approximately $119.0 million through December 31, 2021, exclusive of PPP. 

Consumer mortgage loan production was approximately $119.3 million through December 31, 2021.  The production and pipeline mix of in-house, portfolio loans and investor loans remained strong as of December 31, 2021, with those loans totaling $15.3 million, consisting of $13.4 million in portfolio loans and $1.9 million in investor loans. At the end of the second quarter of 2021, management implemented special promotions for residential mortgage products to shift production towards portfolio loans and utilize excess cash balances.

Total deposits at December 31, 2021 increased by $47.0 million when compared to deposits at December 31, 2020.  During 2021, non-interest-bearing deposits increased by $81.2 million, driven by retail and commercial account growth partially attributable to government stimulus programs. Traditional savings accounts increased by $40.5 million as we continued to see significant growth in our Prime Saver product, and total demand deposits increased by $26.6 million. Total money market accounts decreased by $36.3 million due primarily to management's decision to sweep approximately $70.0 million of wealth management money market funds off balance sheet in the first quarter of 2021. These funds can be readily shifted back to in-house money market accounts should liquidity needs arise in the future.  Time deposits decreased by $65.0 million, primarily in time deposits over $100,000, due to the maturity of a $10.0 million brokered CD in May 2021 and as we continued to reduce pricing on single-service relationships and municipal bids.

Book value per share of the Company's common stock was $21.43 at December 31, 2021, compared to $18.74 per share at December 31, 2020.  At December 31, 2021, there were 6,620,955 of basic outstanding shares and 6,628,028 of diluted outstanding shares of common stock. 

Asset Quality

The ALL decreased to $16.0 million at December 31, 2021 compared to $16.5 million at December 31, 2020.  The provision for loan losses was a credit of $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and an expense of $5.4 million for the year December 31, 2020.  The higher provision expense recorded in 2020 was driven by an increase in the qualitative factors reflecting the uncertainty of the economic environment related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Net recoveries of $0.3 million were recorded for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to net charge offs of $1.5 million for 2020. The ratio of the ALL to loans outstanding, including PPP loan balances, was 1.38% at December 31, 2021 compared to 1.41% at December 31, 2020.  The ratio of ALL to loans outstanding, excluding PPP loan balances of $7.7 million and $114.0 million, was 1.39% at December 31, 2021 and 1.55% at December 31, 2020, non-GAAP.

The ratio of net recoveries to average loans for the year ended December 31, 2021 was an annualized 0.02%, compared to net charge offs to average loans of 0.13% for 2020.  Details of the ratio, by loan type are shown below.  Our special assets team continues to effectively collect on charged-off loans, resulting in ongoing overall low net charge-off ratios.

Non-accrual loans totaled $2.5 million at December 31, 2021 compared to $3.3 million at December 31, 2020.  The decrease in non-accrual balances at December 31, 2021 was primarily related to $0.8 million of one CRE loan that paid off in the fourth quarter of 2021.  Two hospitality loans, totaling approximately $4.0 million, that were moved to non-accrual status during the first quarter of 2021 returned to accrual status in the fourth quarter of 2021 after successfully paying full contractual payments for six months. 

Non-accrual loans that have been subject to partial charge-offs totaled $0.5 million at December 31, 2021 and $0.4 million at December 31, 2020.  Loans secured by 1-4 family residential real estate properties in the process of foreclosure totaled $0.2 million at December 31, 2021 and $0.4 million at December 31, 2020.  Foreclosure and repossession activities were temporarily suspended as a result of COVID-19 but resumed during the third quarter 2021. Management continues to conform to federal and state mandates relative to the foreclosure processes for both Federal Backed and Non-Federal Backed mortgages.  As a percentage of the loan portfolio, accruing loans past due 30 days or more increased to 0.31% compared to 0.20% at December 31, 2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (unaudited)

Reconciliation of as reported (GAAP) and non-GAAP financial measures

The following tables below provide a reconciliation of certain financial measures calculated under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") (as reported) and non-GAAP. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are required to be disclosed in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the United States. The Company's management believes the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with a greater understanding of the Company's operating results in addition to the results measured in accordance with GAAP. While management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company's performance, this information should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with GAAP or considered to be more important than financial results determined in accordance with GAAP.

The following non-GAAP financial measures exclude settlement charges associated with the settlement with Driver Management, FHLB prepayment penalty, insurance reimbursement and charitable contribution.
