Quarterly Net Income of $4.8 Million as Assets Top $2.2 Billion
CORAL GABLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / May 5, 2021 / Professional Holding Corp. (the "Company") (NASDAQ:PFHD), the parent company of Professional Bank (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $4.8 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2021 compared to net income of $5.5 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2020, and a net loss of $1.3 million, or ($0.14) per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2020, respectively.
"We are pleased to report another quarter of balance sheet expansion," said Daniel R. Sheehan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Total loans increased 4.3% to $1.7 billion. The balance sheet performance combined with our share repurchase activity resulted in a tangible book value increase to $14.21 per share. We continue to benefit from a healthy pipeline of loan and deposit activities and look forward to more liquidity deployment opportunities." Chief Financial Officer Mary Usategui added, "we continue to focus on sensible expense management while we scale the balance sheet."
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021
- Net income decreased $0.7 million, or 13.6%, to $4.8 million from the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily due to core deposit intangible accretion surrounding adjustments to the day one accounting for the Marquis Bancorp Inc. ("MBI") acquisition of $1.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 (the "Purchase Accounting Adjustment").
- Pre-tax pre-provision earnings (non-GAAP, see Explanation of Certain Unaudited Non-GAAP Financial Measures) decreased $1.5 million, or 16.9%, to $7.2 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to the Purchase Accounting Adjustment, and increased $7.8 million the same period in 2020.
- Net interest income decreased $0.3 million, or 2.0%, to $17.9 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to the Purchase Accounting Adjustment, and increased $9.8 million, or 121.8%, compared to the same period in 2020.
- Noninterest income decreased $0.4 million, or 26.3% to $1.1 million, from the prior quarter primarily due to less interest rate swap fee income, fewer third-party residential loan sales, and the accelerated depreciation of premises and equipment from the MBI headquarters lease termination of $0.1 million, offset by increased BOLI income.
- Noninterest expense increased $0.7 million, or 6.3%, to $11.8 million from the prior quarter and increased $2.3 million, or 24.3%, compared to the same period in 2020. The quarter over quarter increase was due to compensation expense in relation to change in control payments to two former MBI employees and the year over year increase was due in part to additional employees from the MBI acquisition.
Financial Condition:
At March 31, 2021:
- Total assets increased 8.6%, or $0.2 billion, to $2.2 billion from the prior quarter.
- Total loans increased 4.3%, or $72.1 million, to $1.7 billion from the prior quarter. We experienced growth across all loan types due to new originations. New loan originations were $227.7 million ($131.3 million of conventional and $96.4 million of Payroll Protection Program ("PPP")). The Company's PPP loan balance increased $20.9 million, or 11.0%, from the prior quarter.
- Nonperforming assets decreased $7.6 million, or 73.4%, to $2.8 million from the prior quarter, primarily driven by the partial charge off of the Coex loan which was previously reserved. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had nonperforming assets of $4.0 million.
Capital
The Company's capital position remained strong as of March 31, 2021, with a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.1% and a leverage capital ratio of 9.6%. Each of the Company's capital ratios remain well in excess of regulatory requirements.
On March 2, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase from time to time of the Company's Class A Common Stock. Under this program, shares may be repurchased in open market transactions, including plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company repurchased 54,479 shares of Class A Common Stock, at an average price of $16.11 per share. On May 5, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing that the Board of Directors of the Company authorized an increase in the amount available under its existing stock repurchase program such that, effective May 6, 2021, $10.0 million is available to repurchase outstanding shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock.
Liquidity
The Company maintains a strong liquidity position. At March 31, 2021, in addition to its balance sheet liquidity, the Company had the ability to generate approximately $316.5 million in additional liquidity through available resources.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin Analysis
Net interest income was $17.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The following table shows the average outstanding balance of each principal category of the Company's assets, liabilities, and shareholders' equity, together with the average yields on assets and the average costs of liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are calculated by dividing the annualized income or expense by the average daily balances of the corresponding assets or liabilities for the respective periods. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company's cost of funds was 0.40% which was partially offset by a portion of participation loans which were reclassified to other borrowings.

Provision for Loan Losses
The Company's provision for loan losses amounted to $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2021 compared to $1.3 million from the prior quarter. The provision was made primarily to support continued loan growth, exclusive of PPP loans.
Investment Securities
The Company's investment portfolio decreased $8.3 million, or 8.7%, to $86.8 million from the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily due to investment redemptions, paydowns, and maturities. To supplement interest income earned on the Company's loan portfolio, the Company invests in high quality mortgage-backed securities, government agency bonds, corporate bonds, community development district bonds, and equity securities (including mutual funds).
Loan Portfolio
The Company's primary source of income is derived from interest earned on loans. The Company's loan portfolio consists of loans secured by real estate as well as commercial business loans, construction and development loans, and other consumer loans. The Company's loan clients primarily consist of small to medium sized businesses, the owners and operators of those businesses, and other professionals, entrepreneurs and high net worth individuals. The Company's owner-occupied and investment commercial real estate loans, residential construction loans, and commercial business loans provide higher risk-adjusted returns, shorter maturities, and more sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations and are complemented by the relatively lower risk residential real estate loans to individuals. The Company's lending activities are principally directed to the Miami-Dade MSA. The following table summarizes and provides additional information about certain segments of the Company's loan portfolio as of March 31, 2021:

The Company participated in the PPP and funded 2,113 small business loans representing $322.5 million in relief proceeds under all 3 Rounds of the PPP. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company funded 608 loans representing $96.4 million under Round 3 of the PPP. Through the Company's online PPP application and loan closing documentation process, there have been 1,062 loans submitted for forgiveness for a total of $160.4 million, or 70.9% of total PPP loan volume from Rounds 1 and 2 as of March 31, 2021. From the total loans submitted for forgiveness, 913 loans representing $110.8 million, were forgiven and derecognized from the balance sheet. Most of the PPP loans were initially pledged to the Federal Reserve as part of the Payroll Protection Program Liquidity Facility ("PPPLF"). The PPPLF pledged loans are non-recourse to the Company. In addition, we paid off approximately $74.6 million in PPPLF advances during the three months ended March 31, 2021, and had none remaining as of April 30, 2021.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic the Company has reviewed and processed numerous debt service relief requests in accordance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act and interagency guidelines published by federal banking regulators on March 13, 2020. As currently interpreted by the agencies, the guidelines assert that short-term modifications made on good faith for reasons related to the COVID-19 pandemic to borrowers who were current prior to such relief are not considered Troubled Debt Restructurings ("TDRs"). These modifications include deferrals of principal and interest, modification to interest only, and deferrals to escrow requirements. The modifications have varying terms up to six months. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has approved $199.8 million in payment relief modifications that were granted under the CARES Act guidance associated with the treatment of TDRs. Since the inception of the CARES Act, one loan was downgraded to non-performing in the amount of $1.3 million, and one loan remains on payment relief with an outstanding balance of $0.4 million. These loans remain under the exemption from TDR classification as provided for in the CARES Act. All other loans that were provided payment relief have either been reinstated to their original payment terms or paid off. To manage credit risk, the Company increased oversight and analysis of loans to borrowers in vulnerable industries, such as hotels and hospitality. As of March 31, 2021, these hotels and hospitality loans have a balance of $59.2 million. As of March 31, 2021, $32.2 million of these hotels and hospitality loans were provided payment relief consistent with Section 4013 of the CARES Act and the interagency guidelines published on March 13, 2020. As of March 31, 2021, all loans in this segment have been reinstated and returned to normal payment schedules.
Non-Performing Assets
As of March 31, 2021, the Company had nonperforming assets of $2.8 million, or 0.12% of total assets, compared to nonperforming assets of $10.4 million, or 0.51% of total assets, at December 31, 2020. In March 2021, the Company partially charged off the Coex loan that was previously reserved during the third quarter of 2020, in the amount of $7.6 million.
Allowance for Loan and Lease Loss ("ALLL")
The Company's allowance for loan losses decreased $6.6 million, or 40.6%, from the prior quarter to $9.7 million. The quarter over quarter decrease was primarily driven by the partial charge off of the Coex loan which was previously reserved. The Company's allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans (net of overdrafts and excluding PPP loans) was 0.63% at March 31, 2021, compared to 1.10% from the prior quarter.
COVID-19 Operational Response and Bank Preparedness:
The Company continues to work within the COVID-19 pandemic response plans which were originally established in the Spring of 2020. The Company continues to update these plans to ensure that they comply with the latest governmental guidelines and health conditions. We hope that the downward trend in infections continues and we are encouraging our employees to be vaccinated. Furthermore, we believe that if conditions continue to improve, as more of the general population is vaccinated, we may be able to return to a normalized office schedule in the Summer of 2021.

Explanation of Certain Unaudited Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), including adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share, which we refer to "non-GAAP financial measures." The table below provides a reconciliation between these non-GAAP measures and net income and net income per share, which are the most comparable GAAP measures.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of the Company's performance and believes these measures are useful supplemental information that can enhance investors' understanding of the Company's business and performance without considering taxes or provisions for loan losses and can be useful when comparing performance with other financial institutions. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures.
