7 Mins read

RED BLUFF, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cornerstone Community Bancorp (OTC Pink: CRSB) announced today its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

The Company reported net income of $1,284,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to net income of $911,000 for the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share were $0.84 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $0.60 for the same period last year.

The return on average assets for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was 1.18% and the return on average equity was 18.92%. The net interest margin was 3.06% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 4.36% for the same period last year and the efficiency ratio declined to 42.00% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 56.05% for the same period last year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company reported net income of $1,331,000 compared to net income of $1,696,000 for the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share were $0.87 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $1.12 for the same period last year.

The return on average assets for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was 0.72% and the return on average equity was 9.90%.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 reflects a $1.6 million provision for credit losses related to the economic uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic.

President and CEO, Jeff Finck stated, “We’ve funded $82 million in Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program loans, with an average loan size of $129,000, to 637 businesses, positively impacting over 10,000 employees throughout the greater Redding and Red Bluff areas. We’ve also helped 145 of our customers with loan payment relief requests.”

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased to $3,153,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared to $2,691,000 for the same quarter last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net interest income increased to $5,995,000 compared to $5,320,000 for the same period last year.

The Company’s net interest margin was 3.06% for the second quarter of 2020, down 103 basis points from 4.09% for the first quarter of 2020 primarily due to the decrease in short and long term interest rates that occurred in the first quarter and the increase in the percentage of interest earning assets invested in interest-bearing deposits.

Provision for credit losses

The Company recorded a $150,000 provision for credit losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared to $110,000 for the same quarter last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a $1,600,000 provision for credit losses compared to $200,000 for the same period last year.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 was $204,000 compared to $476,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, non-interest income was $598,000 compared to $801,000 for the same period last year.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $1,410,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared to $1,775,000 for the same period last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, non-interest expense was $3,308,000 compared to $3,531,000 for the same period last year. The decreases in non-interest expense were primarily due to lower salaries and benefits expense from Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”)-related deferred loan origination costs.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was impacted by tax benefits from the exercise of stock options.

Balance Sheet

Interest-bearing deposits increased $65.1 million at June 30, 2020 compared to June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to increases in SBA PPP borrowers’ deposit accounts and the Company’s participation in the Federal Reserve’s Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility.

Total loans, net of unearned income at June 30, 2020 were $333.6 million compared to $222.2 million at June 30, 2019. The increase was due, in large part, to the $82 million in SBA PPP loans originated.

Total deposits were $341.4 million at June 30, 2020 compared to total deposits of $256.2 million at June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to increases in deposits from SBA PPP borrowers.

Borrowings and other obligations were $83.1 million at June 30, 2020 compared to 3.0 million at June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to the Company’s participation in the Federal Reserve’s Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility.

Credit Quality

The allowance for loan losses was $4,009,000, or 1.20% of loans, net of unearned income at June 30, 2020, compared to $2,345,000, or 1.06% of loans, net of unearned income at June 30, 2019. There were no nonperforming assets at June 30, 2020 and $99,000 at June 30, 2019.

Capital

At June 30, 2020, shareholders’ equity totaled $27.6 million compared to $24.0 million at June 30, 2019. Book value per share was $18.50 per share at June 30, 2020 compared to $16.71 per share at June 30, 2019.
