TCFC Community Financial Corporation

The Community Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: TCFC) (the “Company”), the holding company for Community Bank of the Chesapeake (the “Bank”), today reported net income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of $6.3 million, or $1.10 per diluted common share. This compares to net income of $6.8 million, or $1.18 per diluted common share for the fourth quarter of 2021, and net income of $6.3 million or $1.07 per diluted common share for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Management Commentary

"Our work over the past few years to reposition the Bank continues to deliver on our commitments to our communities, our customers, and our shareholders,” stated William J. Pasenelli, Chief Executive Officer. “We believe we are well-positioned for rising rates. We have considerable asset sensitivity with a large percentage of loans scheduled to reprice in the coming quarters. And our low-cost deposit franchise continues to improve with significant growth in non-interest bearing deposits. Continued cost discipline combined with a successful expansion strategy should deliver significant operating leverage for the remainder of the year.”

“Our successful expansion into Virginia continues with plans to open a new branch in Fredericksburg and a new loan production office in Charlottesville in the second quarter,” stated James M. Burke, President. “Loans in Virginia now account for almost 50% of our loan portfolio and have significantly contributed to our growth and profitability over the last several years. Our team in Virginia continues to drive the expansion forward by finding new ways to serve the financial needs of their communities.”

Net Interest Income

The stability in net interest income resulted primarily from decreases in interest expense from lower funding costs partially offsetting lower interest income. Interest income decreased due to lower asset yields and lower U.S. SBA PPP income due to loan payoffs partially offset by increased interest income from larger average commercial real estate and residential rental loan portfolios and investment securities balance.

Net interest margin of 3.12% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased 38 basis points from 3.50% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and decreased 10 basis points from 3.22% for the three months ended December 31, 2021. Interest income from the Company's participation in the U.S. SBA PPP program was $0.5 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively and $0.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net interest margin increased six basis points as a result of U.S. SBA PPP loan interest income compared to increasing 18 basis points and 10 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2021.

The Company’s cost of funds was flat at 0.17% during the first quarter of 2022 compared to the prior quarter and decreased from 0.25% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The Bank's interest rate asset sensitivity improved as average non-interest bearing deposit accounts increased to 29.6% of total average deposits for the first quarter of 2022 compared to 21.3% for the comparable period in 2021 and 22.2% for the previous quarter. Management is optimistic that improvements in the Bank's funding composition should benefit margins and profitability in an increasing interest-rate environment.

We expect U.S. SBA PPP loan forgiveness to modestly contribute to margins and net interest income in the second and third quarters of 2022 with the recognition of remaining net deferred fees. Excluding the acceleration of interest income with U.S. SBA PPP loan forgiveness, a stable to increasing net interest margin is possible during the balance of 2022 assuming interest-earning assets reprice faster than interest-bearing liabilities and the Bank maintains its current favorable funding mix.

Noninterest Income

The decrease in noninterest income in the current quarter was primarily due to gains on the sale of investment securities in the first quarter of 2021 and unrealized losses on securities invested in a Community Reinvestment Act mutual fund in the first quarter of 2022 due to changes in interest rates. In addition, there were small decreases in service charges and referral fee income. Also in the first quarter of 2021, the Bank sold non-accrual and classified commercial real estate and residential mortgage loans and recognized a loss on the sale of $191,000.

Noninterest income as a percentage of average assets was 0.25% and 0.46%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense of $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, decreased $1.1 million or 10.5%, compared to $10.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in noninterest expense for the comparable periods was primarily due to a fraud loss of $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2021. OREO expenses have moderated as the Bank has been successful at disposing foreclosed assets over the last two years, which have been reduced from $2.3 million at March 31, 2021 to $0.0 million OREO assets at March 31, 2022.

Noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2021 included a non-recurring expense and expenses associated with the origination phase of the SBA PPP program. First, during the first quarter of 2021, the Company incurred an expense of $1.3 million related to an isolated wire transfer fraud incident. Our investigation determined that no information systems of the Bank were compromised, and no employee fraud was involved. Any recovery of insurance proceeds would be recognized in the quarter received. Second, compensation and benefits decreased $250,000 as the Company recorded the deferred costs to underwrite U.S. SBA PPP loans. Deferred costs are being amortized as a component of interest income through the contractual maturity date of each individual U.S. SBA PPP loan. Excluding the impact of these two expenses, the Company's first quarter 2021 noninterest expense was $9.1 million.

Noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2022 at $9.1 million, was lower than anticipated due primarily to lower compensation and benefits and no credit-related costs for OREO. Lower than anticipated health care costs, a lower average full-time equivalent headcount and lower benefit and incentive accruals all contributed to a lower expense run rate. Management's projected quarterly expense run rate for the second quarter of 2022 is estimated between $9.4 million and $9.6 million and includes the base compensation increases given to select employee groups in January 2022 to address local wage competitive pressures.

The Company’s efficiency ratio was 50.67% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 53.78% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The Company’s net operating expense ratio was 1.31% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 1.50% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The efficiency and net operating expense ratios have improved (decreased) as the Company has been able to improve asset quality and generate more operating revenues while controlling expense growth.

Income Tax Expense

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was 25.33% compared to an effective tax rate of 25.24% for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Balance Sheet

Assets

Total assets increased $24.6 million, or 1.1%, to $2.35 billion at March 31, 2022 compared to total assets of $2.33 billion at December 31, 2021. Cash decreased a net of $26.5 million and was used to fund net loan and investment growth of $36.6 million and $9.7 million, respectively. In addition, deferred tax assets increased $6.5 million to $15.5 million primarily due to the day one CECL adjustment and increases in unrealized losses of the Bank's AFS investment portfolio related to changes in interest rates. Other assets decreased $1.8 million due to a decrease in income tax receivables.

During the first quarter of 2022, total net loans, which include portfolio loans and U.S. SBA PPP loans, increased 9.2% annualized or $36.6 million from $1,586.8 million at December 31, 2021 to $1,623.4 million at March 31, 2022. Net portfolio loans increased 12.2% annualized or $47.8 million from $1,560.4 million at December 31, 2021 to $1,608.2 million at March 31, 2022. Portfolio loans include all loan portfolios except the U.S. SBA PPP loan portfolio. The Company’s loan pipeline was $193.0 million at March 31, 2022.

Non-owner occupied commercial real estate as a percentage of risk-based capital at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $872.3 million or 347% and $813.0 million or 331%, respectively. Construction loans as a percentage of risk-based capital at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $138.0 million or 55% and $140.4 million or 57%, respectively.

Funding

Total deposits increased $38.9 million or 1.9% (7.6% annualized) at March 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021. The increase included a $46.2 million increase to transaction deposits offset by a $7.3 million decrease to time deposits. During the first quarter of 2022, non-interest-bearing demand deposits increased $198.6 million to $644.4 million at March 31, 2022, representing 30.8% of deposits, compared to 21.7% of deposits at December 31, 2021 as management efforts to optimize the deposit franchise achieved results.

Stockholders' Equity and Regulatory Capital

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, total stockholders’ equity decreased $15.0 million. Equity increased due to net income of $6.3 million and net stock related activities in connection with stock-based compensation and ESOP activity of $0.2 million. The decrease in equity was primarily due to an increase of $17.0 million in AOCL in the Bank's AFS securities portfolio due to changes in market interest rates. In addition, equity decreased for common dividends paid of $0.9 million, stock repurchases of $1.6 million and $2.0 million for the adoption of the current expected credit loss ("CECL") accounting standard on January 1, 2022.

The Company's common equity to assets ratio decreased to 8.21% at March 31, 2022 from 8.94% at December 31, 2021. The Company’s ratio of tangible common equity ("TCE") to tangible assets decreased to 7.75% at March 31, 2022 from 8.48% at December 31, 2021 (see Non-GAAP reconciliation schedules) due primarily to increases in AOCL. Regulatory capital was not impacted by the increase in AOCL and Tier 1 capital to average asset ratios at the Bank and the Company remained strong at 9.93% and 9.17% at March 31, 2022 compared to 9.95% and 9.23% at December 31, 2021.

On December 9, 2021, the Company announced its Board of Directors approved the resumption of repurchases allowed under the stock repurchase plan originally adopted in October 2020 (the "2020 Repurchase Plan"). The Company may repurchase the 99,450 shares remaining under the 2020 Repurchase Plan using up to $4.0 million in the aggregate and up to $1.5 million in the aggregate on a quarterly basis. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased 39,049 shares at an average price of $39.70 per share. At March 31, 2022 the Company had 51,664 shares available to be repurchased under the 2020 Repurchase Plan.

Asset Quality

Allowance for credit losses ("ACL") and provision for credit losses ("PCL"); Allowance for Loan Losses ("ALLL") and provision for loan losses ("PLL")2

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaced the incurred loss methodology for determining our provision for credit losses and ACL with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss model ("CECL"). The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology applies to financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost, and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. This includes, but is not limited to, loans, leases, held-to-maturity securities, loan commitments, and financial guarantees. In addition, ASU 2016-13 made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale ("AFS") debt securities. Credit- related impairments on AFS debt securities are now recognized as an allowance for credit loss rather than a write-down of the securities amortized cost basis when management does not intend to sell or believes that it is not likely that they will be required to sell the securities prior to recovery of the securities amortized cost basis.

We adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2022 are presented under ASU 2016-13 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. At adoption, the Company did not hold Held to Maturity ("HTM") investment debt securities.

The following table shows the impact of the Company's adoption of ASC 326:

ACL balances increased to 1.31% of portfolio loans at March 31, 2022 compared to ALLL of 1.17% of portfolio loans at December 31, 2021. At and for the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company's allowance increased $3.0 million or 16.1% to $21.4 million at March 31, 2022 from $18.4 million at December 31, 2021.

The Company recorded a $0.5 million PCL for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $0.3 million PLL for the three months ended March 31, 2021. There were no net charge-offs during the first quarter of 2022 compared to $1.5 million in net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Management closely monitors previously COVID-19 deferred loans in reviews of credit quality indicators as part of individual loan and relationship reviews and changes classification ratings as needed. We believe these loans are more likely to default in the future and that the identification and resolution of problem credits could be delayed.

Management believes that the allowance is adequate at March 31, 2022.

_______________________2  The Company implemented the CECL accounting standard effective January 1, 2022. The Company used an incurred loss methodology for all periods compared before March 31, 2022.

Classified and Non-Performing Assets

Classified assets decreased $0.5 million from $5.2 million at December 31, 2021 to $4.7 million at March 31, 2022. Management considers classified assets to be an important measure of asset quality. The Company's risk rating process for classified loans is an important factor in the Company's ACL qualitative framework. In addition, risk ratings are expected to be an important indicator in assessing ongoing credit risks of previously deferred COVID-19 deferred loans. Management remains committed to expeditiously resolving non-performing or substandard credits that are not likely to become performing or passing credits in a reasonable timeframe.

During 2021, classified assets decreased $17.1 million. Asset quality improved with the resolution of $16.9 million in non-accrual and impaired loans through loan sales and negotiated payoffs as well as the resolution of $3.1 million in OREO. The Company's sale of impaired loans decreased the specific reserve, improved asset quality, and improved several ALLL qualitative factors.

Non-accrual loans and OREO to total portfolio loans and OREO decreased two basis points from 0.48% at December 31, 2021 to 0.46% at March 31, 2022. Non-accrual loans, OREO and TDRs to total assets decreased one basis points from 0.35% at December 31, 2021 to 0.34% at March 31, 2022. 

Non-accrual loans decreased $0.2 million from $7.6 million at December 31, 2021 to $7.5 million at March 31, 2022. There were no OREO balances at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

Pre-Tax Pre-Provision ("PTPP") Income, PTPP Return on Average Assets ("ROAA"), PTPP Return on Average Common Equity ("ROACE"), and Return on Average Tangible Common Equity ("ROATCE")

Management believes that PTPP income, which reflects the Company's profitability before income taxes and loan loss provisions, allows investors to better assess the Company's operating income and expenses in relation to the Company's core operating revenue by removing the volatility that is associated with credit provisions and different state income tax rates for comparable institutions. ROATCE is computed by dividing net earnings applicable to common shareholders by average tangible common shareholders' equity. Management believes that ROATCE is meaningful because it measures the performance of a business consistently, whether acquired or internally developed. ROATCE is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Management also believes that during a crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic, this information is useful as the impact of the pandemic on the loan loss provisions of various institutions will likely vary based on the geography of the communities served by a particular institution.
