⁽³⁾ Nonperforming assets include loans greater than 90 days past due and nonaccrual loans.

• Diluted earnings per share were $0.78 for the first quarter of 2023, a 9.9% increase over the first quarter of 2022.

• Return on assets increased to 1.23%, compared to 1.05% in the first quarter a year ago.

• Gross loans increased $15.2 million, or 2.5%, since December 31, 2022 with growth occurring in all categories, except consumer.  Gross loans are up $125.2 million over the same period last year, or 25.8%.

• Deposit balances decreased 2.0%, or $14.3 million, from year end (with average deposit balances down 3.6%, or $27.4 million) and decreased 9.0%, or $70.7 million, from a year ago (with average deposit balances down 6.7%, or $51.5 million). The Company, however, opened 301 net new non-maturity deposit accounts during the first quarter, a 2.2% growth rate since December 31, 2022.

• The Bank's estimated uninsured deposits were $240.4 million, or 34% of total deposits at March 31, 2023, excluding collateralized public funds accounts. 

• At March 31, 2023, available secured and unsecured borrowing capacity was $164.7 million through various sources including the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB) and lines of credit with several banks. When combined with maximum available brokered and wholesale funding capacity of $204.1 million, off-balance sheet funding sources total $368.8 million.

• At March 31, 2023, on balance sheet liquidity was $149.2 million, consisting of cash and equivalents and unpledged debt securities at fair value. Total liquidity sources of $518 million, or 72.2% of total deposits, represents 216% of estimated uninsured deposits at March 31, 2023.

• Compared to the linked quarter, book value per share increased $1.62 per share, or 7.6%, to $22.81 due to strong quarterly earnings, a favorable change in accumulated other comprehensive loss, and the favorable impact of adopting CECL.  

• The Bank's tangible common equity ratio was 9.10% at March 31, 2023 compared to 8.73% at December 31, 2022.  This is considered a non-GAAP financial measure and additional information, including a reconciliation, can be found on page 11.

On a linked quarter basis, the Company reported net interest income of $7.56 million for the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of $303,000, or 3.9%.   Strong loan growth and higher loan yields were offset by reduced cash balances, higher deposit costs, and the disproportionate effect of two fewer net interest-earning days.   Average interest-earning assets were down 2.6%, or $20.4 million. Compared to the first quarter of 2022, a change in the earnings asset mix and higher yields on all categories of interest-earning assets drove the improvement in net interest income, outpacing the effect of higher funding costs.

Our net interest margin for the first quarter of 2023 was 3.92%, a decrease of 6 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2022 and an increase of 104 basis points over the first quarter of 2022.  An improved earnings asset mix and higher interest rates were key drivers.  We anticipate that the Company's net interest income volume and net interest margin will be challenged the rest of the year due to industry-wide pressure for overall liquidity maintenance and funding demands.

Provision for Credit Losses

The Company adopted ASC 326 Current Expected Credit Losses "CECL" effective January 1, 2023.  The impact of adopting CECL resulted in a $2.6 million decrease to the allowance for credit losses.  The provision for credit loss expense was $243,000 for the quarter, with approximately half of that expense attributed to one of two remaining PPP loans being fully reserved for during the quarter and the balance attributed to loan growth. The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 0.79% at March 31, 2023 compared to 1.2% at December 31, 2022.

Total noninterest income	$	441	$	429	$	518		2.8	%		(14.9	)%

Noninterest income increased slightly from its linked quarter due primarily to higher income from debit cards and ATM cards.  Compared to a year ago, the decline in mortgage banking revenue outpaced modest increases in service charges and fees on deposit accounts and income from debit cards and ATM cards leading to the 14.9% decrease in noninterest income.

Total noninterest expense	$	4,455	$	4,521	$	3,780		(1.5	)%		17.9	%

Compared to the linked quarter, the decline in noninterest expense is mostly attributed to a decrease in salaries and employee benefits expense (due to less incentive pay) and lower software, amortization and other expense (mostly due to timing).  Occupancy and equipment expense and marketing expense were relatively flat.  Professional fees typically run higher in the first quarter due to year-end reporting activities.  The FDIC assessment expense reflects a combination of changing assessment rates and lower deposit balances. 

Compared to a year ago, the 17.9% increase in total noninterest expense is mostly attributed to higher salaries and employee benefits. Employee headcount increased from 99 FTEs at March 31, 2022 to 109 FTEs at March 31, 2023.  In addition to higher headcount, annual raises, higher group insurance costs, higher incentive accrual and increases to other employee benefit accounts also contributed to the overall increase.  Increases in marketing and software expenses reflect the needs of a growing bank.  The Company's efficiency ratio was 55.72% in the first quarter of 2023 and has remained below 56.0% for the last four quarters.

Financial Condition

At March 31, 2023, the Company reported $816.3 million in total assets, $717.2 million in deposits, and $606.1 million in net portfolio loans.

Loans, net	$	606,128					$	588,715

At March 31, 2023, the allowance for credit losses of $4.8 million, represented 0.79% of gross loans compared to $7.1 million, or 1.2% of gross loans, at December 31, 2022.  The adoption of CECL on January 1, 2023 resulted in a $2.6 million decrease in the allowance for credit losses. 

Deposit balances decreased $14.3 million, or 2.0%, since December 31, 2022, and $70.7 million, or 9.0% from the first quarter of 2022, with declining average balances in all categories, except time deposits.  Time deposit account balances increased $11.4 million, or 28.5%, since year-end, with $10.0 million of that increase attributed to public funds. Excess liquidity stemming in part from PPP-related stimulus programs started to dissipate in 2022, followed by competitive rate pressure on deposits in the second half of 2022 and early 2023 as some clients moved their deposits to higher-paying banks and alternative higher-yielding investments. We continue to monitor our deposits closely as we manage through this rising rate environment.

Total stockholders’ equity was $72.3 million, or 8.9% of total assets, at March 31, 2023, compared to $67.0 million at December 31, 2022, or 8.2% of total assets.  Strong earnings in the first quarter of 2023, a $1.5 million favorable change in the Company's accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and a $1.9 million tax-effected change resulting from the adoption of CECL all contributed to higher equity, partially offset by common stock dividends of $698,000 ($0.22 per common share).  Book value per share increased from $21.19 at December 31, 2022 with 3,164,491 common shares outstanding to $22.81 at March 31, 2023, with 3,185,765 common shares outstanding.  

As of March 31, 2023, the Bank was considered to be “well capitalized” with a Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio of 10.13%, a 13.07% Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio, a 13.07% Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio, and a 13.83% Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio.  The Company maintains a $15 million, 5-year revolving Line of Credit, enhancing its liquidity sources to support the ongoing capital needs of the Bank. The Line of Credit matures in August 2025.  As of March 31, 2023, the Company reported an outstanding loan balance under this line of $1.725 million, $15 million in FHLB advances, and year-to-date interest expense of $111,000.  

Asset Quality

At March 31, 2023 the Bank had six nonaccrual loans totaling $1.35 million compared to two nonaccrual loans totaling $343,000 at December 31, 2022.  Net recoveries totaled $20,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and the ratio of nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets was 0.17%. The Company adopted CECL effective January 1, 2023 which resulted in a $2.6 million ($1.9 million tax-effected) decrease in the allowance for credit losses.  Management believes that the allowance for credit losses which was $4.8 million, or 0.79% of gross loans, at March 31, 2023 is adequate.

Words such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “is confident that” and similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain financial measures and ratios we present including "pre-tax, pre-provision ("PTPP") net earnings," "PTPP return on average common equity," "PTPP return on average assets," and "adjusted average loan yield" are supplemental measures that are not required by, or are not presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). We refer to those financial measures and ratios as "non-GAAP financial measures." We consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial and operational decision making and useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenditures or assets that we believe are not indicative of our primary business operating results.

We believe that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present, and future periods.

These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and you should not rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. The non-GAAP financial measures we present may differ from non-GAAP financial measures used by our peers or other companies. We compensate for these limitations by providing the equivalent GAAP measures whenever we present the non-GAAP financial measures and by including a reconciliation of the impact of the components adjusted for in the non-GAAP financial measure so that both measures and the individual components may be considered when analyzing our performance. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the financial statement tables.
