Our deposit balances climbed to new record levels and our teams continue to assist those companies and individuals most impacted by the pandemic by delivering $429 million in new Paycheck Protection Program funding during the first quarter. Overall, we are off to a great start to the year,” said G. Robert Aston, Jr., Executive Chairman.

The first quarter 2021 included a release in the allowance for credit losses of $3.41 million driven by a combination of minimal net charge-offs, improvements in the economic forecast, offset by modest core loan growth.
  • Net loan charge-offs were $0.67 million compared to charge-offs of $0.56 million one year prior. The ratio of net loan charge-offs to average loans on an annualized basis was 0.03% in first quarter 2021 and 2020.
  • The provision for credit losses on off-balance-sheet commitments was a benefit of $0.48 million compared to a provision expense of $1.10 million in the first quarter of 2020, and $0.06 million in the linked quarter.
  • The allowance for credit losses on loans represented 1.19% of total loans compared to 1.25% at December 31, 2020 and 0.73% at March 31, 2020.

Quarterly Noninterest Income Compared to First Quarter 2020:

  • Total noninterest income was $82.52 million compared to $48.20 million in 2020, an increase of $34.32 million, or 71.20%. Residential mortgage banking income increased $30.0 million and real estate brokerage and property management income increased $11.0 million. Also included in noninterest income are net gains on investment securities of $1.0 million as compared to net gains of $5.0 million in the prior year.
  • Residential mortgage banking recorded income of $37.41 million compared to $7.42 million in first quarter 2020. Loan volume in the current quarter was $1.60 billion, with purchase activity comprising 53.45% of that volume. Loan volume in first quarter 2020 was $0.92 billion, with purchase activity comprising 61.31%. In addition to increased income resulting from the impact of higher loan volume and strong margins in the current quarter compared to prior year, the Company recorded a net gain on derivative instruments of $2.86 million compared to a loss on derivative instruments of $10.89 million in first quarter 2020.
  • Total Insurance segment revenue decreased $0.17 million, or 0.83% to $20.07 million in first quarter 2021 compared to 2020. The Company acquired a property and casualty insurance agency in December 2020, which brought in $0.61 million in additional revenue in first quarter 2021 and partially offset the impact of the reduction in revenues due to the sale of its travel insurance joint venture in third quarter 2020, which contributed revenue of $1.27 million in first quarter 2020.
  • Property management fee revenue increased 205.20%, or $10.41 million, to $15.48 million compared to first quarter 2020. The continuation of international travel restrictions related to COVID-19 coupled with many businesses and schools continuing to operate remotely has positively impacted the demand for domestic travel destinations. This high demand is in sharp contrast to the virtual shut-downs created by quarantines in first quarter 2020 that resulted in only limited reservation activities.

Quarterly Noninterest Expense Compared to First Quarter 2020:

  • Total noninterest expense was $97.33 million compared to $96.89 million in 2020, an increase of $0.44 million, or 0.45%. Increases in salary and benefits expense of $2.57 million, occupancy expense of $0.57 million, data processing expense of $0.45 million, and software expense of $0.70 million, were partially offset by a $2.27 million reduction in the estimated fourth quarter 2020 incentive accrual and $2.34 million in deferred loan costs related to the origination of PPP loans during first quarter 2021.
  • The quarterly increase in salaries and benefits was primarily driven by higher variable production related costs.   Strong first quarter mortgage production resulted in increased overtime and incentive expenses as well as related payroll taxes.
  • Increased mortgage volume and higher credit card fees on vacation property reservation activities drove the increase in data processing expense, while increased costs associated with our core banking platform resulted in higher software expenses.

Consolidated Balance Sheet Highlights:

Total assets increased $2.46 billion, or 19.45%, from $12.62 billion at March 31, 2020. The year-over-year increase was driven primarily by higher liquidity levels and loans held for investment tied to PPP lending activities.
  • Loans held for investment increased $0.95 billion, or 10.82%, compared to prior year and $0.11 billion compared the linked quarter. Excluding PPP loans of $0.90 billion in the first quarter, and $0.86 billion in the fourth quarter of 2020, loans held for investment increased $52.06 million, or 0.59%, compared to prior year, and $63.08 million, or 0.72%, compared to the linked quarter, or 2.92% on an annualized basis.
