“An annualized look at gross revenue and pre-tax, pre-provision, net income (PPNR) shows us on a steady track for the last four years,” said John Allison, Chairman. “Net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 was $170.7 million, or $1.03 earnings per share, which is a record for the Company,” Allison stated. “The continued stable performance our team delivers each quarter brings both a sense of pride and comfort during these unstable economic times,” Allison continued.

“Jamie Dimon recently stated that JP Morgan Chase is effectively ‘stockpiling cash’ with plans to be patient because he believes in being prepared for higher rates and more inflation,” quoted Tracy French, Centennial Bank President and Chief Executive Officer. “One of the hardest things we do is maintain our discipline, and although loan growth might seem a little slow, we too plan to be patient as we do not intend to sell the future of our Company. We won’t be one to reach out in the market for short term gain to create long term pain,” French added.

Operating Highlights

Net income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 was $79.1 million, or $0.48 earnings per share. Net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 was $170.7 million, or $1.03 earnings per share, which is a record for the Company.

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company recorded a negative provision for unfunded commitments of $4.8 million, or $0.02 per share. This was primarily due to a single commercial & industrial loan for which a reserve was no longer considered necessary due to the borrower’s current cash flow position. The Company determined that an additional provision for credit losses on loans was not necessary as the current level of the allowance for credit losses was considered adequate as of June 30, 2021.

Our net interest margin was 3.61% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to 4.02% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021. The yield on loans was 5.40% and 5.56% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively, as average loans decreased from $11.02 billion to $10.54 billion. Additionally, the rate on interest bearing deposits decreased to 0.26% as of June 30, 2021 from 0.33% as of March 31, 2021, with average balances of $9.81 billion and $9.55 billion, respectively.

As of June 30, 2021, we had $473.9 million of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans outstanding. These loans are at 1.00% plus the accretion of the origination fee. Excluding PPP loans, our net interest margin (non-GAAP) for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 was 3.54%.⁽¹⁾ The PPP loans were accretive to the net interest margin by 7 basis points for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to 15 basis points for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021. This was primarily due to approximately $243.2 million of the Company’s PPP loans being forgiven during the second quarter of 2021 as well as the acceleration of deferred fees for the loans that were forgiven. The $243.2 million of PPP loans forgiven during the second quarter of 2021 were partially offset by $70.7 million in new PPP loan originations and funding during the second quarter of 2021. The deferred fee income decreased from $10.4 million to $6.3 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continued to create a significant amount of excess liquidity in the market. As a result of this excess liquidity, we had an increase of $966.6 million of average interest-bearing cash balances in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2021. This excess liquidity diluted the net interest margin by 23 basis points for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021.

Purchase accounting accretion on acquired loans was $5.8 million and $5.5 million and average purchase accounting loan discounts were $38.6 million and $43.9 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively. Net amortization of time deposit premiums was $30,000 per quarter and net average remaining time deposit premiums were $85,000 and $115,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis was $143.1 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 and $149.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021. This decrease in net interest income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 was the result of an $8.2 million decrease in interest income, which was partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in interest expense. The $8.2 million decrease in interest income was primarily the result of a $9.2 million decrease in loan interest income, which was partially offset by a $727,000 net increase in investment income and a $297,000 increase in interest-bearing balances due from banks. The $1.3 million decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of a decrease in interest expense on deposits.

The Company reported $31.1 million of non-interest income for the second quarter of 2021. The most important components of the second quarter non-interest income were $9.7 million from other service charges and fees, $6.2 million from mortgage lending income, $5.1 million from service charges on deposit accounts, $3.0 million from other income, $2.6 million from dividends from FHLB, FRB, FNBB and other, and a $1.3 million adjustment for the increase in fair market value of marketable securities. Included in the $2.6 million in dividends from FHLB, FRB, FNBB and other were $2.2 million in special dividends from equity investments. The Company is still currently involved in these investments; however, past performance does not guarantee future performance.

Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2021 was $73.0 million. The most important components of the second quarter non-interest expense were $42.5 million from salaries and employee benefits, $15.6 million in other expense and $9.0 million in occupancy and equipment expenses. For the second quarter of 2021, our efficiency ratio was 41.08%.

During the second quarter 2021, the Company experienced approximately $579.3 million in loan decline. Centennial CFG experienced $41.1 million of organic loan growth and had loans of $1.56 billion at June 30, 2021. Our legacy footprint experienced $447.9 million in organic loan decline and $172.5 million in PPP loan decline during the quarter.

Non-performing loans at June 30, 2021 were $22.4 million, $31.8 million, $380,000, $1.6 million and $2.7 million in the Arkansas, Florida, Alabama, Shore Premier Finance and Centennial CFG markets, respectively, for a total of $58.9 million.

The Company’s allowance for credit losses on loans was $240.5 million at June 30, 2021, or 2.36% of total loans, compared to the allowance for credit losses of $242.9 million, or 2.25% of total loans, at March 31, 2021. The Company’s allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans, excluding PPP loans (non-GAAP), was 2.47%⁽¹⁾ at June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, the Company’s allowance for credit losses on loans was 407.99% and 383.47% of its total non-performing loans, respectively.

Stockholders’ equity was $2.70 billion at June 30, 2021 compared to $2.65 billion at March 31, 2021, an increase of approximately $51.0 million. The increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily associated with the $56.0 million increase in retained earnings and a $9.7 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive income, which was partially offset by net stock repurchases and share-based compensation activity of $14.7 million. Book value per common share was $16.39 at June 30, 2021 compared to $16.02 at March 31, 2021. Tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) was $10.31⁽¹⁾ at June 30, 2021 compared to $9.95⁽¹⁾ at March 31, 2021, an increase of 14.51% on an annualized basis.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures–including net income (earnings), as adjusted; pre-tax, pre-provision, net income (PPNR); pre-tax, pre-provision, profit percentage; diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted; return on average assets, as adjusted; return on average assets excluding intangible amortization; return on average common equity, as adjusted; return on average tangible common equity; return on average tangible common equity excluding intangible amortization; return on average tangible common equity, as adjusted; efficiency ratio, as adjusted; net interest margin, excluding PPP loans; allowance for credit losses to total loans, excluding PPP loans; tangible book value per common share and tangible common equity to tangible assets–to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance. These measures typically adjust GAAP performance measures to include the tax benefit associated with revenue items that are tax-exempt, as well as adjust income available to common shareholders for certain significant items or transactions (including the effect of the PPP loans) that management believes are not indicative of the Company’s primary business operating results. Since the presentation of these GAAP performance measures and their impact differ between companies, management believes presentations of these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the operating results of the Company’s business. These non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in the tables of this release.
