December 31, 2020 | QUARTERLY REPORT |
Dear Shareholder:
We began our first three Quarterly Reports in 2020 by addressing COVID-19 and this Fourth Quarter Report is no different. As projected by healthcare professionals, there was a resurgence in the spread of the virus world-wide as we approached year-end, leading to renewed restrictions on activity late in the quarter. Vaccination distribution started in mid-December, supporting optimism that the health risks associated with COVID will begin to decline in the first half of 2021. The impact on economic activity from the latest restrictions and the timing and effectiveness of vaccine protocols is still unclear. The entire team at C&N remains committed to supporting the health and welfare of our Team, customers and communities while playing our essential role in supporting the local and regional economic activity.
The November election was the other major story during the quarter. Former Vice President Joe Biden was elected President and the final U.S. Senate races were decided in early January. The White House and both houses of Congress are now controlled by democrats, which will lead to policy changes impacting our industry. The contentious nature of the election and subsequent events adds another dynamic to already challenging circumstances.
Despite the pandemic and political environment, financial markets continued to show strength during the quarter as measured by the major stock market averages and liquidity in the bond and money markets. In late December, a second economic stimulus bill was enacted that includes, among other things, another round of PPP funding for small businesses. This action, combined with the ongoing, extraordinary steps taken by the Federal Reserve to hold interest rates at historically low levels, is providing near-term support for the economy.
C&N’s efforts to support customers with PPP loans, payment deferrals, cash management and investment guidance through our wealth management group remain consistent. We are actively engaged with individual customers to determine their needs and appropriate solutions. The forgiveness process for round one PPP loans and gearing up for round two was a focus during the fourth quarter.
After adjusting for merger related expenses, gains on the sale of securities and losses on prepayment of borrowings in both 2019 and 2020, fourth quarter earnings increased from $5.7 million to $8.1 million or 42%. Earnings per share, on the same adjusted basis, increased 21% to $.51 per share, with the difference between adjusted earnings and EPS growth attributable to the additional shares issued in the Covenant acquisition. Net interest income for the quarter increased 38% while the net interest margin of 3.76% was essentially unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2019. Accelerated recognition of fees from PPP loans contributed to the growth in net interest income as almost 20% of C&N’s PPP loans were repaid by the SBA in the fourth quarter 2020 based on forgiveness granted to the underlying borrowers.
The provision for loan losses of $620,000 was consistent with the $652,000 provision during the fourth quarter of 2019. Noninterest income increased by 30% primarily due to strong gains on the sale of mortgage loans. Noninterest expenses, excluding merger-related expenses and loss on prepayment of borrowings, were 33% above the fourth quarter of 2019, driven primarily by the Covenant acquisition and overall personnel related costs.
