Prime Meridian Holding Company Reports

Fourth Quarter AND FULL YEAR 2019 Results

TALLAHASSEE, FL – January 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Prime Meridian Holding Company (OTCQX: PMHG) the parent bank holding company for Prime Meridian Bank today announced unaudited financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2019. The Company reported net earnings of $947,000, or $0.29 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, compared to net earnings of $1,268,000, or $0.40 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. The Company reported net earnings of $3,542,000 or $1.12 per basic and diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to net earnings of $4,042,000 or $1.29 per basic and diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2018.

The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors declared an annual cash dividend of $0.12 per share of the Company's common stock.  The dividend is payable on March 3, 2020 to shareholders of record on February 13, 2020.

"Exceptional loan growth in the third and fourth quarters of 2019, coupled with already-strong deposit growth, are providing strong momentum heading into 2020 as assets rose just over $500 million, as of December 31, 2019," said Sammie D. Dixon, Jr., Vice Chairman, President, and CEO of the Bank. "We completed our first out-of-market expansion last year and expect the Lakeland office to establish our brand and increase market share in Polk County in 2020."

Mortgage revenue continued to be a bright spot, with year-over-year net revenue up 49.2%. "Traditionally, mortgage lending is weaker during the fourth quarter," added Dixon, "However, our mortgage team exceeded performance expectations posting record numbers for October and November, increasing net mortgage revenue 97.2% over the fourth quarter of 2018. Debit card/ATM net revenue increased 31.9% year over year as well and continues to be a growing source of noninterest income."

The Board recently approved the Company's fifth consecutive annual dividend. "Our outlook is as positive as it's ever been," said Dixon. "We are looking forward to steady growth in all markets."

On a linked quarter basis, the Company’s net income in the fourth quarter of 2019 benefited from a 15.7% increase in noninterest income and lower noninterest expense and income tax expense. These results were offset by a $305,000 increase in the provision for loan losses, resulting in a $17,000 decrease in net income. 

Compared to the same period a year ago, the decrease in the Company's fourth quarter net income is primarily attributed to a $499,000 increase in the provision for loan losses and a $327,000 increase in noninterest expense.  These increases were partially offset by the $325,000 increase in net interest income, $126,000 increase in noninterest income and lower income tax expense.

Year over year, the Company's $500,000 decrease in net income is attributed to increases in the provision for loan losses and noninterest expense. Increases in net interest income and noninterest income and a decrease in income tax expense helped offset the impact of the increased provision and noninterest expense.

The increase in total interest income in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 primarily reflects the Company's loan growth, with the average balance of loans growing 11.7% since the fourth quarter of 2018.  Net loan growth during the first half of 2019 was negatively impacted by a high level of loan participation payoffs, but the Company saw an increase in loan origination activity in the  second half of the year with net loans increasing $47.6 million, or 16.4%, since December 31, 2018. Despite a decrease in yields on securities and other interest-earning assets since the fourth quarter of last year, higher average balances of securities and other interest-earning assets also helped drive higher interest income.

Year over year, a higher volume of loans and other interest-earnings assets was the key driver of the increase in total interest income.

The increase in total interest expense on a linked quarter basis and compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 was driven by growing balances of time deposits and money-market accounts, with the average balance of total interest-bearing deposits up 8.9% since the third quarter of 2019 and up 24.6% since the fourth quarter of 2018.

Year over year, the average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $55.7 million in 2019, while the average rate paid on these deposits increased 24 basis points, leading to the 54.7% increase in total interest expense year over year. Management strategically began reducing rates in the fourth quarter of 2019 in tandem with the three rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in the latter part of 2019.

Pressure on the Company's net interest margin continued into the fourth quarter of 2019.  The impact from three rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in the latter half of the year materialized during the fourth quarter and negatively impacted the loan yield.  In addition, liquidity levels continued to increase in 2019 as deposit growth outpaced loan growth which further lowered the margin.

⁽³⁾    Net interest margin is net interest income divided by total average interest-earning assets

With the exception of mortgage loans held for sale, the yields on all categories of interest-earning assets increased year over year.  However, the change in the interest-earning assets mix from 2018 to 2019 impacted the overall yield of total interest-earning assets as other interest-earning assets comprised a larger percentage of the total.  This combined with higher average balances and yields on total interest-bearing deposits resulted in the lower net interest margin. 

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $546,000, compared to $241,000 for the third quarter of 2019 and $47,000 for the fourth quarter of 2018.  For the year 2019, the provision for loan losses was $1.1 million compared to $591,000 in 2018.  Approximately $272,000 of the increase in the quarterly provision is attributed to loan growth while $274,000 is attributed to higher specific reserves on several impaired and charged-off loans and overdrafts. For the year 2019, approximately 48.6% (or $550,000) is attributed to loan growth and 51.4% (or $581,000) is attributed to higher specific reserves on impaired and charged-off loans and overdrafts.

The increase in total noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2019, when compared to the linked quarter and the same period last year, is primarily attributed to an increase in mortgage banking revenue.  The Company defines mortgage banking revenue as gains and losses on the sale of mortgage loans originated for sale, net of direct origination costs, and wholesale brokerage fees.  Due to lower mortgage rates, the Company experienced an increase in both mortgages for purchase and for refinancing during the fourth quarter of 2019.

Service charges and fees remained steady compared to the linked quarter and the fourth quarter of 2018.  Despite the 8.7% decrease in income from bank-owned life insurance from the third quarter of 2019, the Company has profited favorably year-over-year following the increased investment in this asset that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2018.  This income is market-driven and experiences small fluctuations at the current investment level.

With the exception of the most recent quarter, debit card/ATM net revenue has seen a steady increase each quarter since the fourth quarter of 2017.  Management anticipates that it will continue to be a growing source of noninterest income.

Other income		142		118		24			20.3
Total noninterest income	$	1,534	$	1,155	$	379			32.8	%

With the exception of service charges and fees on deposit accounts, all categories of noninterest income reported year-over-year increases.  The decrease in service charges and fees on deposit accounts is primarily explained by lower overdraft activity. Debit card/ATM net revenue increased 31.9% in 2019 and accounts for roughly 16% of total noninterest income.  In 2019, the mortgage department increased the number of loans originated, the average balance per loan originated, and the average profitability per loan originated. Higher income from bank-owned life insurance followed the Company's increased investment in this asset during the fourth quarter of 2018.  Both mortgage banking revenue and income from bank-owned life insurance accounted for a larger percentage of total noninterest income in 2019 when compared to 2018.

On a linked quarter basis, the $160,000 decrease in noninterest expense is mostly explained by the $191,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits.  A net increase in salaries and commissions was offset by higher deferred loan costs and a reversal of a portion of incentive pay that had been accrued during the year.  Also contributing was a $43,000 decrease in occupancy expense which is attributed to lower amortization expense on leasehold improvements during the fourth quarter of 2019.      

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2018, the $327,000 increase in noninterest expense is mostly attributed to higher salaries and employee benefits, increased occupancy cost due to higher depreciation and lease expense, and increased other noninterest expense (namely due to increases in software expense, loan related expense and travel and entertainment expense). These increases were partially offset by a $36,000 credit towards the Company's FDIC assessment cost in the fourth quarter of 2019 which resulted from the Deposit Insurance Fund Reserve Ratio exceeding its 1.38% threshold on June 30, 2019.

Year over year, more than half of the increase in total noninterest expense is attributed to the Company's new office in Lakeland, Florida which opened in April, 2019.   The Company has expanded from 79 full-time equivalents (FTEs) at December 31, 2018 to 88 FTEs  at December 31, 2019, with 8 FTEs located in Lakeland at December 31, 2019.   Approximately $234,000 of the $473,000 increase in occupancy expense is attributed to higher depreciation expense and higher lease expense associated with the new lease for our expanded Timberlane office. The new office in Lakeland accounted for approximately $216,000 of the $473,000 increase in occupancy expense.   Other noninterest expense increased $415,000 for a variety of reasons, most notably due to higher printing and supplies expense, travel and entertainment expense and software expense. These increases were partially offset by a credit towards the Company's FDIC assessment. With the credits, the FDIC total assessment decreased $44,000 year over year, or 27.0%.  

Balance Sheet

At December 31, 2019, the Company reported $500.9 million in total assets, $438.3 million in deposits, and $337.7 million in net portfolio loans. This compares to $401.7 million in total assets, $349.1 million in deposits, and $290.1 million in net portfolio loans at December 31, 2018. Loan growth occurred in all categories with the exception of consumer loans which remained relatively flat.   The composition of the Bank’s loan portfolio was as follows on the indicated dates:

Total stockholders’ equity was $55.9 million, or 11.2% of total assets, at December 31, 2019, compared to $50.8 million, or 12.7% of total assets, at December 31, 2018.  Retained earnings, a $756,000 positive change in accumulated other comprehensive income and a small stock offering in Lakeland, Florida drove the increase in equity. Book value per share increased from $16.19 at December 31, 2018 to $17.51 at December 31, 2019, with 3,191,288 common shares outstanding.

As of December 31, 2019, the Bank was considered to be “well capitalized” with a Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio of 9.31%, a 13.24% Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio, a 13.24% Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio, and a 14.49% Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio.

Asset Quality

Loans totaling $3.2 million were deemed to be impaired under the Bank’s policy at December 31, 2019, while loans totaling $1.2 million were deemed to be impaired under the Bank’s policy at December 31, 2018. At December 31, 2019, the Bank had twelve nonaccrual loans in the aggregate amount of $2.6 million compared to six nonaccrual loans totaling $342,000 at December 31, 2018. At December 31, 2019, the Company reported no accruing loans greater than 90 days past due. Net charge-offs totaled $378,000 for the year  ended December 31, 2019 and nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets was 0.52%. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses which was $4.4 million, or 1.29% of gross loans, at December 31, 2019 is adequate.
