1ST Constitution Bancorp (NASDAQ: FCCY), the holding company (the
“Company”) for 1ST Constitution Bank (the “Bank”), today reported
net income of $4.9 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.48
for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to net income of
$3.4 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.33 for the three
months ended March 31, 2020.
The Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash
dividend of $0.10 per share of common stock, representing an
increase of 11%, compared to the dividend of $0.09 per share of
common stock paid on February 26, 2021. The dividend will be paid
on May 28, 2021 to shareholders of record on May 14, 2021.
Robert F. Mangano, President and Chief Executive
Officer, stated, “Our first quarter financial results reflect our
strong operating fundamentals and the Company’s diversified lending
platforms as our mortgage warehouse and residential mortgage
banking lending operations continued to drive revenue and
profitability. We maintained our focus on assisting customers with
the SBA PPP lending programs, which resulted in the forgiveness of
$34.4 million of existing PPP loans and the funding of $34.2
million of new PPP loans.”
Mr. Mangano added, “We observed improvement in
economic conditions in our market in the first quarter of 2021 and
anticipate further improvement in economic conditions due to the
COVID-19 vaccines becoming more widely distributed and the
potential easing of governmental restrictions. We continue to
closely monitor the performance of our loan portfolio and believe
it was appropriate to strengthen our allowance for loan losses
during this period of continuing economic uncertainty caused by the
pandemic. Despite the economic uncertainty, our asset quality was
stable and only one commercial real estate loan was on deferral at
the end of March.”
FIRST QUARTER 2021 HIGHLIGHTS
- Net income increased $1.5 million,
or 44%, to $4.9 million as compared to the first quarter of 2020.
Return on average total assets and return on average shareholders'
equity were 1.10% and 10.59%, respectively.
- Net interest income was $15.3
million and the net interest margin was 3.67% on a tax equivalent
basis.
- A provision for loan losses of $1.4
million was recorded and net recoveries were $3,000.
- Total loans were $1.3 billion at
March 31, 2021 and decreased $138.7 million from December 31, 2020.
During the first quarter of 2021, mortgage warehouse lines
decreased $120.8 million to $267.6 million at March 31, 2021,
reflecting primarily a lower volume of funding of home purchase
mortgages due to the seasonal nature of home purchases in the
Bank’s market. Residential mortgage loans held in portfolio
decreased $13.2 million due to sales and pay-offs of loans.
- Non-interest income increased $1.6
million for the first quarter of 2021, as residential mortgage
banking operations originated $88.2 million of residential
mortgages, sold $102.2 million of residential mortgages and
recorded a $2.9 million gain on sales of loans.
- Non-performing assets were $15.4
million, or 0.85% of total assets at March 31, 2021, representing a
decrease of $1.9 million from December 31, 2020 and included
$48,000 of other real estate owned (“OREO”).
COVID-19 Impact and Response
As the Company conducts its daily operations,
the health and safety of our employees and customers remains our
primary concern and we continue to maintain the same measures and
protective procedures that we implemented in 2020. In addition, the
Company is providing paid time off to employees to obtain COVID-19
vaccinations.
During the first quarter of 2021, the Company
continued working with customers impacted by the economic
disruption. In addition, management increased the allowance for
loan losses in response to the higher estimated incurred losses in
the loan portfolio. Management may further adjust the provision and
allowance for loan losses in response to changes in economic
conditions and the performance of the loan portfolio in future
periods.
To support our loan and deposit customers and
the communities we serve:
- We continue to provide access to
additional credit and forbearance on loan interest and or principal
payments for up to 90 days where management has determined that it
is warranted. As of March 31, 2021, all loans that had previously
received deferrals were no longer deferred, except for two hotel
loans that were placed on non-accrual in the second quarter of 2020
and one residential mortgage loan for $871,000 that was placed on
non-accrual in the first quarter of 2021. One commercial real
estate loan with a balance of $1.4 million received an additional
deferral of principal payments up to 90 days in the first quarter
of 2021.
- As a long-standing SBA preferred
lender, we actively participated in the SBA’s PPP lending program
established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security
Act (the “CARES Act”). In 2020, we funded 467 SBA PPP loans
totaling $75.6 million, $50.2 million of which had been forgiven by
the SBA through the end of the first quarter of 2021.
- The Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small
Business, Not for Profits and Venues Act (“Economic Aid Act”) was
enacted in December 2020 in further response to the COVID-19
pandemic. Among other things, the Economic Aid Act provides relief
to borrowers to access additional credit through the SBA's PPP. We
continue to actively participate in the PPP and have accepted 303
applications for PPP loans totaling $35.9 million through April 30,
2021. The SBA has approved 298 of such applications totaling $35.3
million of PPP loans, all of which have been funded.
Modification of Loans and Deferral of Payments
As of March 31, 2021, all commercial business,
commercial real estate and consumer loans that had previously
received deferrals in 2020 were no longer deferred and had made the
contractually due payments, except for two hotel loans totaling
$4.6 million that were placed on non-accrual in the third quarter
of 2020 and one residential mortgage loan for $871,000 that was
placed on non-accrual in the first quarter of 2021. One commercial
real estate loan with a balance of $1.4 million received an
additional deferral of principal payments up to 90 days in the
first quarter of 2021.
Allowance for Loan Losses
Management reviewed the loan portfolio at March
31, 2021 in connection with the evaluation of the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses. As part of this review, management
reviewed over 98% of the $132.1 million of commercial business and
commercial real estate loans that had been modified to defer
interest and or principal for up to 90 days in 2020 and 2021. Loans
with balances of less than $250,000 were generally excluded from
management’s review. As a result of management’s review of the loan
portfolio at March 31, 2021, a provision for loan losses of $1.4
million was recorded for the first quarter of 2021 and the
allowance for loan losses was increased to $17.0 million at March
31, 2021. The provision for loan losses reflected primarily a $1.7
million increase in specific reserves to $3.8 million for impaired
loans.
At March 31, 2021, the allowance for loan losses
included $649,000 for loans that were rated Pass-Watch and had
received a deferral. This reflects management’s previously reported
determination that “Pass-Watch” credit rated loans with
modifications or deferrals suggest a weaker financial strength of
the borrower than “Pass” credit rated loans, thereby warranting
additional reserves for loan losses than would ordinarily be
reserved for “Pass-Watch” credit rated loans.
Within the loan portfolio, hotel and
restaurant-food service industries have been adversely impacted by
the economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. At March
31, 2021 loans to hotel and restaurant-food service industries were
$67.8 million and $64.4 million, respectively. Management reviewed
over 99% of the hotel loans and over 93% of the restaurant-food
service loans.
All construction loans are closely monitored on
a quarterly basis and are reviewed to assess the progress of
construction relative to the plan and budget and lease-up or sales
of units.
Management also reviewed loans to schools that
are private educational institutions that are generally sponsored
or affiliated with religious organizations. These loans totaled
$24.6 million at March 31, 2021, and 98% of these loans were
reviewed.
The expanded review also included $6.3 million, or
over 40%, of commercial loans made under the SBA 7(a) loan program,
totaling $15.5 million at March 31, 2021.
As a result of this first quarter of 2021
review, loans totaling $3.2 million and $871,000 were down-graded
to “Special Mention” and “Substandard,” respectively. In addition,
a $2.8 million shared national credit loan was down-graded to
“Substandard.”
Discussion of Financial Results
Net income was $4.9 million, or $0.48 per
diluted share, for the first quarter of 2021 compared to net income
of $3.4 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the first quarter
of 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, net interest
income increased $2.3 million compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2020 driven primarily by the increase in the average
balance of loans since March 31, 2020. Gain on sales of loans for
the first quarter of 2021 increased $1.6 million compared to the
first quarter of 2020 due primarily to the higher volume of
residential mortgage loans sold. The provision for loan losses was
$1.4 million for the first quarter of 2021 compared to $895,000 for
the first quarter of 2020. This increase reflected management’s
estimate of loan losses that were incurred due to the economic
disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and changes in the mix
and risk factors of the loan portfolio. Non-interest expenses were
$11.1 million for the first quarter of 2021, representing an
increase of $1.3 million compared to $9.8 million for the first
quarter of 2020.
Net interest income was $15.3 million for the
first quarter of 2021 and increased $2.3 million compared to net
interest income of $12.9 million for the first quarter of 2020.
Total interest income was $17.0 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2021 compared to $16.4 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2020. The increase in total interest income was primarily
due to a net increase of $170.6 million in average loans,
reflecting growth in commercial real estate, mortgage warehouse and
commercial business loans, including SBA PPP loans. Average
interest-earning assets were $1.7 billion, with a tax-equivalent
yield of 4.07%, for the first quarter of 2021 compared to average
interest-earning assets of $1.4 billion, with a tax-equivalent
yield of 4.66% for the first quarter of 2020. The tax-equivalent
yield on average interest-earning assets for the first quarter of
2021 declined 59 basis points to 4.07%, due primarily to the
decline in market interest rates during 2020 to a low level that
continued through the first quarter of 2021 and the higher average
balance of federal funds sold/short-term investments with a yield
of 0.10%. The Federal Reserve reduced the targeted federal funds
rate 150 basis points in March 2020 in response to the economic
uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of
the reductions in the targeted federal funds rate, the prime rate
declined to 3.25% in March 2020 and was unchanged through the first
quarter of 2021. The Bank had approximately $455.5 million of loans
with an interest rate tied to the prime rate and approximately
$49.3 million of loans with an interest rate tied to either 1- or
3-month LIBOR at March 31, 2021.
Interest expense on average interest-bearing
liabilities was $1.7 million, with an interest cost of 0.59%, for
the first quarter of 2021, compared to $2.0 million, with an
interest cost of 0.65%, for the fourth quarter of 2020 and $3.5
million, with an interest cost of 1.30%, for the first quarter of
2020. Despite an increase of $94.7 million in average
interest-bearing liabilities for the first quarter of 2021 compared
to the first quarter of 2020, interest expense declined $1.8
million due largely to the decline in interest rates paid on
deposits and the redeemable subordinated debentures as a direct
result of the lower interest rate environment. The average cost of
interest-bearing deposits was 0.57% for the first quarter of 2021,
0.64% for the fourth quarter of 2020 and 1.27% for the first
quarter of 2020. The lower interest cost of interest-bearing
deposits for the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first
quarter of 2020 reflected primarily lower market interest rates
since March 2020. The interest rates paid on deposits generally do
not adjust quickly to rapid changes in market interest rates and
decline over time in a falling interest rate environment. Of the
total increase in average interest-bearing liabilities, money
market and NOW accounts increased $56.9 million, savings accounts
increased $89.3 million and certificates of deposit and short-term
borrowings decreased $33.0 million and $18.6 million, respectively,
for the first quarter of 2021. At March 31, 2021, there were $135.1
million of retail certificates of deposits with an average interest
cost of 1.20% that mature within the following 12 months.
Management will continue to monitor and adjust the interest rates
paid on deposits to reflect the then current interest rate
environment and competitive factors.
The net interest margin on a tax-equivalent
basis was 3.67% for the first quarter of 2021 compared to 3.68% for
the first quarter of 2020. The net interest margin for the first
quarter of 2021 was negatively impacted by the higher average
balance of federal funds sold/short-term investments resulting from
the growth in the average balance of deposits. Interest income for
the first quarter of 2021 included $398,000 of fee income related
to PPP loans that were forgiven and paid-off by the SBA, $151,000
of interest income collected on a PCI commercial real estate loan
that was paid-off and $50,000 of prepayment fees collected on
commercial real estate loans that were paid-off. Excluding the
effect of the higher average balance of federal funds
sold/short-term investments, the net interest margin was
approximately 3.95% for the first quarter of 2021.
The Company recorded a provision for loan losses
of $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2021 compared to a
provision for loan losses of $895,000 for the first quarter of
2020. The increase in the provision for loan losses in the first
quarter of 2021 reflected primarily a $1.6 million increase in
specific reserves on impaired loans. This provision also reflected
changes in loan ratings and mix of the loan portfolio at March 31,
2021. At March 31, 2021, total loans were $1.3 billion and the
allowance for loan losses was $17.0 million, or 1.32% of total
loans, compared to total loans of $1.2 billion and an allowance for
loan losses of $10.0 million, or 0.82% of total loans, at March 31,
2020. The allowance for loan losses, excluding the allocated
reserve for mortgage warehouse lines, was $15.8 million, or 1.54%
of total loans excluding mortgage warehouse lines at March 31,
2021. In addition, at March 31, 2021, there were $59.5 million of
SBA PPP loans which are 100% guaranteed by the SBA and,
accordingly, no reserve was provided.
Non-interest income was $4.1 million for the
first quarter of 2021, representing an increase of $1.6 million, or
66.0%, compared to $2.5 million for the first quarter of 2020. The
significant increase in non-interest income was driven primarily by
a $1.6 million increase in gain on sales of loans. In the first
quarter of 2021, residential mortgage banking operations originated
$88.2 million of residential mortgages, sold $102.2 million of
residential mortgages and recorded a $2.9 million gain on sales of
loans compared to $73.4 million of residential mortgages
originated, $34.0 million of residential mortgage loans sold and a
$1.2 million gain on sales of loans recorded in the first quarter
of 2020. The residential mortgage loan pipeline was $32.1 million
at March 31, 2021. Management believes that the increase in
residential mortgage loans originated and sold was due primarily to
increased residential mortgage refinancing activity as a result of
continued lower mortgage interest rates. In the first quarter of
2021, $1.8 million of SBA loans were sold and gains of $190,000
were recorded compared to $2.7 million of SBA loans sold and gains
of $226,000 recorded in the first quarter of 2020. Service charges
on deposit accounts decreased $96,000 for the first quarter of 2021
compared to the first quarter of 2020, due primarily to lower
overdraft fees. Other income increased $105,000 in the first
quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020 due primarily
to recoveries on PCI loans in excess of the fair value of the
acquired loans.
Non-interest expenses were $11.1 million for the
first quarter of 2021 and increased $1.3 million, or 13.4%,
compared to $9.8 million for the first quarter of 2020. Salaries
and employee benefits expense increased $783,000 or 12.7%, for the
first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020 due
primarily to a $729,000 increase in mortgage commissions resulting
from significantly higher residential mortgage lending activity,
$75,000 in temporary staffing costs and $171,000 in merit increases
and increases in employee benefit expenses, which were partially
offset by higher deferred loan origination expenses of
approximately $180,000. Occupancy expense increased $141,000 in the
first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020
primarily due to higher snow removal costs. FDIC insurance expense
increased $236,000 due to the growth of assets, a credit of
$106,000 from the FDIC related to the fourth quarter of 2019
assessment and a higher FDIC assessment rate in the first quarter
of 2021 compared to the assessment rate in the first quarter of
2020. Other operating expenses increased $68,000, or 3.5%, for the
first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020,
resulting primarily from net increases in various components of
other operating expenses.
Income tax expense was $1.9 million for the
first quarter of 2021, resulting in an effective tax rate of 28.1%,
compared to income tax expense of $1.3 million, which resulted in
an effective tax rate of 27.3% for the first quarter of 2020. The
increase in income tax expense was due to an increase of $2.2
million in pre-tax income in the first quarter of 2021 compared to
the first quarter of 2020. The higher effective tax rate in the
first quarter of 2021 reflected the higher New Jersey statutory tax
rate in effect compared to the statutory tax rate in effect in the
first quarter of 2020.
Total assets were $1.81 billion at March 31,
2021, relatively unchanged from December 31, 2020. Total cash and
cash equivalents increased $143.9 million and total investment
securities increased $8.5 million, which amounts were offset by
decreases of $138.7 million in total portfolio loans and $14.1
million in loans held for sale. Total portfolio loans at March 31,
2021 were $1.29 billion, compared to $1.43 billion at December 31,
2020. The $138.7 million decrease in portfolio loans was due
primarily to a decrease of $120.8 million in mortgage warehouse
lines as a result of lower funding volume, a decrease of $10.9
million in commercial real estate loans as a result of pay-offs and
a decrease of $13.2 million in residential real estate loans, and
was partially offset by a $9.7 million increase in construction
loans. Loans held for sale decreased $14.1 million due to loan
sales in excess of originations. Total investment securities were
$226.3 million at March 31, 2021, representing an increase of $8.5
million from $217.7 million at December 31, 2020. Investment
securities available for sale increased $5.7 million and investment
securities held to maturity increased $2.8 million at March 31,
2021 from December 31, 2020.
Total deposits were $1.56 billion at March 31,
2021, relatively unchanged from December 31, 2020.
Non-interest-bearing demand deposits increased $44.1 million due in
part to funding of the SBA PPP loans while interest-bearing
deposits decreased $45.7 million. Of the total decrease in
interest-bearing deposits, certificates of deposit decreased $95.2
million primarily due to the maturity of $72 million of short-term
internet listing service certificates of deposit. Savings deposits
increased $42.5 million and interest-bearing demand deposits
increased $7.0 million. There were no short-term borrowings at
March 31, 2021 compared to $9.8 million at December 31, 2020.
Regulatory capital ratios for the Company and
the Bank continue to reflect a strong capital position. Under
applicable regulatory capital standards, the Company’s estimated
common equity Tier 1 to risk-based assets (“CET1”), total
risk-based capital, Tier I capital, and leverage ratios were
10.89%, 13.37%, 12.16% and 9.64%, respectively, at March 31, 2021.
The Bank’s estimated CET1, total risk-based capital, Tier 1 capital
and leverage ratios were 12.16%, 13.37%, 12.16% and 9.63%,
respectively, at March 31, 2021. The Company and the Bank are
considered “well capitalized” under these capital standards.
Asset Quality
Non-accrual loans were $15.3 million at March
31, 2021 compared to $16.4 million at December 31, 2020. During the
quarter ended March 31, 2021, $967,000 of loans were placed on
non-accrual status and consisted of a $96,000 home equity loan and
an $871,000 residential mortgage loan. During the first quarter of
2021, $2.0 million of non-performing loans were resolved as a
result of pay-downs and pay-offs, which included $782,000 of
purchased credit impaired loans that were repaid.
Non-performing loans represented 1.18% of total
loans and non-performing assets represented 0.85% of total assets
at March 31, 2021 compared to 1.20% and 0.96% at December 31, 2020,
respectively.
OREO decreased $44,000 to $48,000 at March 31,
2021 compared to $92,000 at December 31, 2020, due to the
write-down of the asset. The asset consisted of one parcel of
land.
