FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Prime Meridian Holding Company Reports

SECOND QUARTER 2023 RESULTS

TALLAHASSEE, FL – July 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Prime Meridian Holding Company (OTCQX: PMHG), the parent bank holding company for Prime Meridian Bank, today announced unaudited financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company reported net earnings of $2,257,000, or $0.71 per basic and $0.70 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to net earnings of $1,967,000 or $0.62 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2022.  The Company reported net earnings of $4,758,000, or $1.49 per basic and $1.48 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to net earnings of $4,208,000 or $1.34 per basic and $1.32 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2022.  

“We are staying the course even as Banks face an economy that seems a bit rudderless,” said Sammie D. Dixon, Jr., Vice Chairman, President, and CEO.  “Our strength and success are rooted in our ability to orient ourselves to an ever-changing financial landscape,” he said.

“We are actively using this time as an opportunity to stay top-of-mind with clients and prospects. These connections deepen relationships with those we bank as well as the communities we serve,” he continued.  “Whether on calls, in our lobbies or during person-to-person events like our spring Client Appreciation lunches, we want our clients to feel that focus. One thing that sets us apart is our recognition that there is always another bank ready to serve our clients.  We work hard to treat everyone with humility and respect."

“Despite the headwinds facing our industry and economy, we continue to work with our clients to find solutions for their financial needs and assist them in their financial future. Our success in meeting these challenges comes from flexibility and nimbleness - the strength of our balance sheet and capital base," he said.

When asked to summarize Prime Meridian Bank’s approach in one word Dixon replied, ‘onward.’

• Compared to the linked quarter, book value per share increased $0.44 per share, or 1.9%, to $23.25 due to strong quarterly earnings.  Book value per share is up 13.5% from June 30, 2022.

The Company reported net interest income of $7.4 million for the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of $202,000, or 2.7%, from the linked quarter.  Higher loan yields and loan growth during the quarter were offset by higher funding costs and reduced cash balances. Average interest-earning assets increased 1.1%, or $8.2 million since the first quarter of 2023.

Comparing the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, a change in the earning asset mix and higher yields on interest-earning assets drove the improvement in net interest income, outpacing the effect of higher funding costs.  

The Company's net interest margin ("NIM") for the second quarter of 2023 was 3.78%, a decrease of 14 basis points from the linked quarter as a 20-basis point increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets was more than offset by a 48-basis point increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities.  For the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company's NIM improved 57 basis points and 77 basis points, respectively, to 3.78% and 3.81%. An improved earning asset mix and higher interest rates were key drivers. Current macro trends indicate that NIM will be challenged through the rest of 2023, even if Fed tightening ends, with continued pressure on funding costs. As a result, loan growth may slow in an effort to manage balance sheet constraints.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit loss expense was $325,000 for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $243,000 for the first quarter of 2023 and $731,000 for the second quarter of 2022.  For the second quarter of 2022, credit loss expense of $731,000 was attributed to loan production during the quarter.  For the first quarter of 2023, credit loss expense of $243,000 was attributed to fully reserving for one PPP loan and loan growth during the quarter.  For the second quarter of 2023, credit loss expense of $325,000 was attributed to $350,000 in net charge-off activity, and to a lesser extent, due to loan growth during the quarter. The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 0.76% at June 30, 2023 compared to 1.20% at December 31, 2022.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, the provision for credit loss expense was $568,000 compared to $360,000 for the same period in 2022.    

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.

Total noninterest income	$	463	$	441	$	504		5.0	%		(8.1	)%	$	904	$	1,022		(11.5	)%

Noninterest income increased slightly from its linked quarter due primarily to higher mortgage banking revenue.  Comparing the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the decline in mortgage banking revenue from 2022 outpaced increases in all other noninterest income categories.  Lower mortgage banking activity for 2023 reflects the negative impact of higher rates on refinancing and homebuying activity, compounded by inventory issues in our local markets.

Compared to the linked quarter, the increase in noninterest expense is mostly attributed to an increase in other noninterest expense (namely higher travel expense connected with conventions and conferences), higher marketing expense, and higher software maintenance, amortization and other expense.  Comparing the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2023 and 2022, the primary driver of higher noninterest expense is salaries and employee benefits.  The Company reported 108 at June 30, 2023 compared to 100 FTEs at June 30, 2022.  In addition to higher headcount, a full quarter impact of annual raises that were effective March 1, 2023, higher group insurance costs, higher incentive accrual and fewer deferred loan costs also contributed to the overall increase.

At June 30, 2023, the allowance for credit losses of $4.7 million, represented 0.76% of gross loans compared to $7.1 million, or 1.20% 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 $28.7 million, or 3.9%, since December 31, 2022, and $81.8 million, or 10.4% since June 30, 2022, with declining balances in all categories, except time deposits.  Time deposit account balances increased $22.5 million, or 56.2%, since year-end, with $10.6 million of that increase attributed to public funds.  We continue to monitor our deposits closely as we manage through this rising rate environment.

Total stockholders’ equity was $74.2 million, or 9.0% of total assets, at June 30, 2023, compared to $67.1 million at December 31, 2022, or 8.2% of total assets.  Strong earnings in the first half of 2023, a $570,000 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 $23.25 at June 30, 2023, with 3,190,052 common shares outstanding.  

As of June 30, 2023, the Bank was considered to be “well capitalized” with a Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio of 9.98%, a 13.00% Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio, a 13.00% Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio, and a 13.76% 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 and currently has a zero outstanding balance.  As of June 30, 2023, the Company reported $35 million in FHLB advances. Year-to-date interest expense totaled $520,000 for FHLB advances and other borrowings.  

Asset Quality

At June 30, 2023 the Bank had five nonaccrual loans totaling $1.39 million compared to two nonaccrual loans totaling $343,000 at December 31, 2022.  Net charge-offs totaled $350,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 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 $4.7 million, or 0.76% of gross loans, at June 30, 2023 is adequate.

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.
