The Community Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: TCFC) (the “Company”), the holding company for Community Bank of the Chesapeake (the “Bank”), today reported its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $6.4 million, or $1.12 per diluted common share compared with net income of $6.4 million, or $1.10 per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2021, and net income of $3.8 million or $0.64 per diluted common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The Company reported net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $19.1 million or diluted earnings per share of $3.29 compared to net income for the comparable period of 2020 of $10.0 million or diluted earnings per share of $1.70. Comparable period financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were impacted by a COVID-19 related increase in the provision for loan losses ("PLL") to $10.1 million compared to $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Management Commentary

“We are pleased to achieve our fourth consecutive quarter of record earnings per share in the third quarter of 2021. Our growth, profitability and improvements in asset quality are the result of changes we have made over the past two years,” stated William J. Pasenelli, Chief Executive Officer. “Being named to the Piper Sandler Bank & Thrift SM-ALL Stars Class of 2021 is a welcome recognition of the successful execution of our strategy by a talented, focused and committed team. In the first nine months of 2021, the Company has added two new product lines, optimized our branch operations, improved asset quality and continued to drive operating efficiency by controlling expenses.”

“We are very pleased that our loan pipeline increased to $190 million at the end of September 2021 and are optimistic we will fund between $90-$100 million in new loans during the fourth quarter of 2021. Our goal is to return to between 8% and 10% net loan growth in 2022," stated James M. Burke, President. “I am pleased that in a very competitive market, portfolio loans held steady in the third quarter. Our business development teams were able to offset large unanticipated loan payoffs of $36.1 million by funding $92.8 million in new loans during the third quarter.”

Management estimates that without U.S. Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program ("U.S. SBA PPP") income, ROAA would be lower by approximately 10 basis points. The Company is positioned with a healthy balance sheet and a foundation for sustainable profitable operations that should enhance long-term shareholder value beyond the non-recurring income streams from the U.S. SBA PPP.

During the second quarter of 2021, the Bank introduced a new residential mortgage program and retail and commercial credit card program that merge the technology and expertise of two proven FinTech firms with our business development team's demonstrated capabilities. The Company expects these programs to improve non-interest income and interest income beginning in 2022-2023. The Bank's credit card program balances increased from approximately $50,000 at June 30, 2021 to just under $800,000 at September 30, 2021.

The Bank’s expansion into Virginia significantly contributed to our growth over the last five years. Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania and surrounding areas provide significant opportunities for continued organic growth supported by our efficient operating model and ability to leverage technology. At September 30, 2021, loans in the greater Fredericksburg, Virginia area accounted for approximately 45% of the Bank's outstanding portfolio loans. Portfolio loans include all loan portfolios except the U.S. SBA PPP loan portfolio. In addition, Fredericksburg branch deposits were $93.6 million with an average cost of deposits of four basis points. On April 21, 2021, the Bank purchased its second location in Virginia at 5831 Plank Road, Spotsylvania. The full-service branch is expected to open in late 2021 and will provide banking, lending and wealth management services with a focus on digital banking.

Effective March 31, 2021, the Bank consolidated its St. Patrick's Drive branch in Waldorf, Maryland into the Bank's nearby main office branch. This realignment of our branches will enable the Company to serve a wider customer base. The net financial impact of the new Spotsylvania branch and the closing of the St. Patrick's Drive branch is expected to be neutral to the Company's expense run rate.

During the recent quarter, the Company completed its repurchase of $7.0 million of shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the repurchase plan announced on October 20, 2020 (the “2020 Repurchase Plan”), the Company was authorized by the Board of Directors to use up to $7.0 million of the proceeds raised in its October 2020 $20.0 million subordinated debt offering to repurchase up to 300,000 outstanding shares of common stock Between November 2020 and August 2021, 200,550 shares were repurchased at a total cost of approximately $6.98 million or an average of $34.83 per share. In the future, the Company expects to evaluate the use of additional capital management strategies designed to enhance overall stockholder value, including repurchasing some or all of the 99,450 shares remaining under the 2020 Repurchase Plan. The implementation of any such strategy will be publicly announced.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020. Net interest margin of 3.28% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 increased one basis point from 3.27% for the comparable period. The increase in net interest income resulted primarily from decreases in interest expense from lower funding costs and increased interest income from larger loan and investment average balances exceeding the impacts of lower interest-earning asset repricing.

Net interest income increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Net interest margin of 3.38% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was four basis points higher than the 3.34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in net interest income resulted primarily from decreases in interest expense from lower funding costs and increased interest income from larger loan and investment average balances exceeding the impacts of lower interest-earning asset repricing. Interest earning asset yields decreased 35 basis points from 3.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 3.60% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Company’s cost of funds decreased 40 basis points from 0.63% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 0.23% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Excluding the acceleration of deferred fees into interest income with U.S. SBA PPP loan forgiveness, compression of our net interest margin is likely to continue in the fourth quarter of 2021 as interest-earning assets reprice faster than interest-bearing liabilities and the Bank continues to invest excess liquidity into securities. Average investments and interest-bearing cash accounts have increased $196.8 million from $256.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 to $453.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. We expect U.S. SBA PPP loan forgiveness to positively impact margins and net interest income in the fourth quarter of 2021 with the recognition of remaining net deferred fees.

For the third quarter of 2021, interest income increased from larger average loan and investment balances and accelerated loan fee recognition following the forgiveness of U.S. SBA PPP loans exceeding lower asset yields. For the first nine months of 2021, interest income decreased from significantly lower asset yields partially offset by increased interest income from larger average balances and U.S. SBA PPP loan interest income. Interest income from the Company's participation in the U.S. SBA PPP program was $1.2 million and $4.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $0.9 million and $1.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, net interest margin increased 13 and 14 basis points as a result of net U.S. SBA PPP loan interest income and accelerated loan fee recognition compared to a decrease of five basis points and six basis points for the comparable periods in 2020. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, net interest margin of 3.37% increased 10 basis points as result of net U.S. SBA PPP loan interest income and accelerated loan fee recognition.

The Company's net interest margin was stable in 2020 after adjusting for U.S. SBA PPP loan and funding activity. The sharp decline in interest rates in 2020 and 2021 not only reduced interest income on floating-rate loans, liquid interest-earning assets and investments, but has also reduced competitive pressures and depositor expectations concerning deposit interest rates. The repricing of time deposits, the increase in noninterest-bearing accounts as a percentage of total deposits and lower costs for transaction deposit accounts all contributed to lowering the Bank's cost of funds in 2020 and 2021. Cost of funds decreased from 0.46% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 to 0.21% for the three months ended September 30, 2021. During the third quarter of 2021, there was no change in the Company's cost of funds from 0.21% for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease for the comparable periods was primarily due to lower interest rate protection referral fee income and gains on the sale of investment securities in the third quarter of 2020, partially offset by increased service charge income. Noninterest income as a percentage of average assets was 0.26% and 0.32%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Noninterest income decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to decreased interest rate protection referral fee income, unrealized losses on equity securities, and a loss on the sale of impaired loans partially offset by increased service charge income and miscellaneous fees. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Bank sold non-accrual and classified commercial real estate and residential mortgage loans with an amortized cost, net of charge-offs, of $9.1 million and recognized a loss on the sale of $191,000. Noninterest income as a percentage of assets was 0.35% and 0.41%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021, was flat compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020 as increased compensation and benefits and other expenses were offset by decreased OREO expenses, data processing costs and FDIC insurance. Compensation and benefits increased for the comparable periods primarily due to increased health insurance claims as well as larger incentive compensation accruals resulting from improvements in profitability and asset quality. In addition, no costs were deferred for the origination of PPP loans in the third quarter of 2021 compared with the deferral of $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2020. FDIC insurance has decreased due to improved balance sheet credit trends.

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company reported an expense of $1.3 million related to an isolated wire transfer fraud incident. Our investigation has found no evidence that information systems of the Bank were compromised or that employee fraud was involved. In the second quarter of 2021, the Company recovered $0.1 million of the funds transferred and submitted an insurance claim which could result in a recovery of a portion of the expense. Any recovery of insurance proceeds would be recognized in the quarter received.

The Company’s efficiency ratio was 52.46% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 55.48% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The Company’s net operating expense ratio was 1.47% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 1.50% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The efficiency and net operating expense ratios have improved (decreased) as the Company has been able to generate more net interest income and noninterest income while controlling expense growth.

Including the wire transfer fraud expense, the Company quarterly expense run rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 averaged $9.7 million. The Company's quarterly expense run rate, excluding the wire transfer fraud expense, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 averaged $9.3 million. Management's projected quarterly expense run rate for the fourth quarter of 2021 is estimated between $9.4 and $9.6 million with the increase over the average attributable to year end incentive compensation and employee benefit costs.

Noninterest expense increased $0.4 million or 1.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in noninterest expense for the comparable periods was primarily due to the $1.3 million wire fraud reported in the first quarter, increases in professional fees and compensation and benefits due to fewer deferred costs allocated for PPP loans as well as increased health insurance claims and larger incentive compensation accruals resulting from improvements in profitability and asset quality. Compensation and benefits for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were reduced $0.28 million and $0.48 million, respectively, for the allocation of deferred costs for U.S. SBA PPP loans originated. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily offset by a reduction in OREO expenses. OREO expenses have moderated as the Bank has reduced foreclosed assets over the last 12 months from $4.0 million at September 30, 2020 to $1.5 million at September 30, 2021.

The Company’s efficiency ratio was 52.52% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 55.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company’s net operating expense ratio was 1.47% at September 30, 2021 compared to 1.53% at September 30, 2020. The efficiency and net operating expense ratios have improved (decreased) as the Company has been able to generate more net interest income and noninterest income while controlling expense growth.

Income Tax Expense

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 the effective tax rate was 25.2% and 25.3%. The Company’s consolidated effective tax rate was 25.3% and 19.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company's new state apportionment approach was implemented during the first quarter of 2020 and included the impact of amended income tax filings of the Company and the Bank. Management evaluated the tax position and determined the change in tax position qualified as a change in estimate under FASB ASC Section 250. The following table shows a breakdown of income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 split between the apportionment adjustment and a normalized 2020 income tax provision:

    (UNAUDITED)
    Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020
(dollars in thousands)   Tax Provision   Effective Tax Rate
Income tax apportionment adjustment   $ (743 )     (6.0 ) %
Income taxes before apportionment adjustment   3,106       25.1   %
Income tax expense as reported   $ 2,363       19.1   %
         
Income before income taxes   $ 12,360        
               

Balance Sheet

Assets

Total assets increased $252.3 million, or 12.4%, to $2.28 billion at September 30, 2021 compared to total assets of $2.03 billion at December 31, 2020 primarily due to increased cash of $70.2 million and investments of $209.2 million. The increase in cash and investments was principally driven by the cash received from the SBA from the forgiveness of U.S. SBA PPP loans, as well as an increase to our customer deposits accounts. In addition, net loans decreased $24.4 million. The Company’s loan pipeline was $192.0 million at September 30, 2021.

During the third quarter of 2021, total net loans, which include portfolio loans and U.S. SBA PPP loans, decreased $32.7 million to $1,569.6 million at September 30, 2021. Gross portfolio loans decreased 0.2% annualized or $0.8 million from $1,533.9 million at June 30, 2021 to $1,533.1 million at September 30, 2021. Portfolio loans include all loan portfolios except the U.S. SBA PPP loan portfolio. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company completed an internal review of collateral types for both regulatory and lendable collateral reporting. The review resulted in a small reclassification of $33.2 million from the commercial real estate portfolio to the residential rental portfolio ($31.7 million) and other commercial portfolios ($1.5 million). The reclassification did not have an impact on the allowance for loan loss calculation.

Non-owner occupied commercial real estate as a percentage of risk-based capital at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $776 million or 325% and $696 million or 316%, respectively. Construction loans as a percentage of risk-based capital at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $124 million or 52% and $139 million or 63%, respectively.

Funding

The Bank uses retail deposits and wholesale funding. Retail deposits continue to be the most significant source of funds totaling $1,996.6 million or 99.0% of funding at September 30, 2021 compared to $1,737.6 million or 98.0% of funding at December 31, 2020. Wholesale funding, which consisted of FHLB advances and brokered deposits, were $20.3 million or 1.0% of funding at September 30, 2021 compared to $35.3 million or 2.0% of funding at December 31, 2020.

Total deposits increased $259.0 million or 14.8% (19.8% annualized) at September 30, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020. The increase reflected a $273.2 million increase to transaction deposits offsetting a $14.2 million decrease to time deposits. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits increased $70.5 million or 19.5% at September 30, 2021, representing 21.6% of deposits, compared to 20.7% of deposits at December 31, 2020. Customer deposit balances have increased during the last 18 months due to customer acquisition as well as lower levels of consumer and business spending related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Stockholders' Equity and Regulatory Capital

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, total stockholders’ equity increased $6.1 million due in part to net income of $19.1 million and $0.6 million in connection with stock-based compensation and ESOP activity. These increases to equity were partially offset by common stock repurchases of $6.7 million, common dividends paid of $2.4 million and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $4.5 million due to a reduction in unrealized gains in the investment portfolio.

The Company's common equity to assets ratio decreased to 8.96% at September 30, 2021 from 9.77% at December 31, 2020. The Company’s ratio of tangible common equity ("TCE") to tangible assets decreased to 8.48% at September 30, 2021 from 9.22% at December 31, 2020 (see Non-GAAP reconciliation schedules). The decrease in the TCE ratio is due primarily to significant increases in cash, investments and loans.

In April 2020, banking regulators issued an interim final rule that excluded U.S. SBA PPP loans pledged under the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility ("PPPLF") from the calculation of the leverage ratio. The Bank did not have any PPPLF advances at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. In addition, the interim final rule excluded U.S. SBA PPP loans from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios by assigning a zero percent risk weight. The Company remains well capitalized at September 30, 2021 with a Tier 1 capital to average assets ("leverage ratio") of 9.41% at September 30, 2021 compared to 9.56% at December 31, 2020.

Asset Quality

Allowance for loan losses ("ALLL") and provision for loan losses ("PLL") and Non-Performing Assets

The Company's allowance methodology considers quantitative historical loss factors and qualitative factors to determine the estimated level of incurred losses in the Company's loan portfolios. The ALLL increased in 2020 primarily due to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to provide for economic uncertainty. ALLL levels decreased to 1.21% of portfolio loans at September 30, 2021 compared to 1.29% at December 31, 2020. At September 30, 2021, the Company's ALLL decreased $0.8 million or 4.4% to $18.6 million at September 30, 2021 from $19.4 million at December 31, 2020.

The Company recorded $0.6 million of PLL for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $10.1 million for the nine months ended months ended September 30, 2020. Net charge-offs also decreased for the comparable periods from $2.2 million in the first nine months of 2020 to $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, net recoveries of $0.1 million included recoveries of $0.6 million partially offset by charge-offs of $0.5 million on two non-accrual relationships totaling $7.8 million that were resolved in the third quarter through a loan sale and a payoff.

The Company's general allowance increased from $18.1 million at December 31, 2020 to $18.2 million at September 30, 2021. The stability in the general allowance was primarily due to improvements in some qualitative factors partially offset by 2021 growth in the higher risk commercial real estate portfolio. During the first quarter of 2021, the Bank sold non-accrual and classified commercial real estate and residential mortgage loans with an amortized cost of $9.1 million, net of charge-offs of $1.4 million, and recognized a loss on the sale of $191,000. In the third quarter of 2021, the Bank resolved $7.8 million of non-accrual loans through $0.5 million in charge-offs that resulted in a loan sale and a payoff. The Company's resolution of these impaired loans decreased the specific reserve, improved asset quality and improved several ALLL qualitative factors.

Management believes that loans included in the COVID-19 deferral program in 2020 and 2021 are more likely to default in the future and that the identification and resolution of problem credits could be delayed. In our evaluation of current and previously deferred loans, we considered the length of the deferral period, the type and amount of collateral and customer industries. Consistent with regulatory guidance, if new information during the deferral period indicates that there is evidence of default, the Bank may change the classification rating (e.g., change from passing credit to substandard) and accrual status (e.g., change from accrual to non-accrual status) as deemed appropriate. As of September 30, 2021, $3.4 million or 0.2% of gross portfolio loans had deferral agreements, a decrease of $32.0 million from the $35.4 million or 2.4% of gross portfolio loans at December 31, 2020. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, there were $1.0 million and $3.4 million of COVID-19 deferred loans deemed to be non-accrual and substandard based on reviews.

Gross U.S. SBA PPP loans at September 30, 2021 totaled $56.4 million and 345 loans, a decrease of $53.9 million compared to December 31, 2020. No credit issues are anticipated with U.S. SBA PPP loans as they are guaranteed by the SBA and the Bank's allowance for loan loss does not include an allowance for U.S. SBA PPP loans.

Management believes that the allowance is adequate at September 30, 2021.

During 2020, classified assets decreased $12.3 million. Asset quality has continued to improve in 2021 with the resolution of $16.9 million in non-accrual and impaired loans through loan sales and negotiated payoffs. Management remains committed to expeditiously resolve non-performing or substandard credits that are not likely to become performing or passing credits in a reasonable timeframe.

Classified assets decreased $15.7 million from $22.4 million at December 31, 2020 to $6.7 million at September 30, 2021. Management considers classified assets to be an important measure of asset quality. The Company's risk rating process for classified loans is an important input into the Company's allowance methodology. Risk ratings are expected to be an important indicator in assessing ongoing credit risks of COVID-19 deferred loans.

Non-accrual loans and OREO to total gross portfolio loans and OREO decreased 98 basis points from 1.42% at December 31, 2020 to 0.44% at September 30, 2021. Non-accrual loans, OREO and TDRs to total assets decreased 77 basis points from 1.08% at December 31, 2020 to 0.31% at September 30, 2021. 

Non-accrual loans decreased $13.1 million from $18.2 million at December 31, 2020 to $5.2 million at September 30, 2021. Non-accrual loans of $3.8 million (73%) were current with all payments of principal and interest with specific reserves of $42,000 at September 30, 2021. Delinquent non-accrual loans were $1.4 million (27%) with specific reserves of $0.3 million at September 30, 2021. The OREO balance decreased $1.6 million from $3.1 million at December 31, 2020 to $1.5 million at September 30, 2021.

The Company is planning for adoption of the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model or ASU 2016-13 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments". Our CECL model has been substantially developed and our third party model validation is substantially complete. We are conducting parallel runs of the loss estimation models throughout 2021. We are refining the qualitative components and forecasting components of our model. ASU 2016-13 will also require the establishment of an allowance for expected credit losses for certain debt securities and other financial assets.

The Company is required to adopt ASU No. 2016-13 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted, and the Company expects to adopt ASU No. 2016-13 in the first quarter of 2022. Management expects to recognize a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for credit losses as of the January 1, 2022. At this time, we expect our implementation of CECL to increase our reserve for credit losses, but cannot reasonably estimate a range of the impact of adoption. Our fourth quarter 2021 refinement of our CECL qualitative framework may impact the cumulative effect adjustment.

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.
