LOUISVILLE, Ky.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Limestone Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: LMST) (“the Company”), parent company of Limestone Bank (“the Bank”), today reported unaudited results for the first quarter of 2021. Net income available to common shareholders for the first quarter of 2021 was $3.2 million, or $0.43 per basic and diluted common share, compared with $1.8 million, or $0.25 per basic and diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2020.

John T. Taylor, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “After navigating a challenging environment throughout 2020, we are well-pleased with Limestone’s performance in the first quarter of 2021. Our Limestone Bank associates continue to demonstrate their commitment to delivering high quality banking products and services to our customers. We reopened many of our lobbies during the first quarter and also opened a new banking center in our Louisville metro market, which will enable us to better serve those customers.”

Total assets grew to $1.36 billion as of March 31, 2021, compared to $1.31 billion at December 31, 2020. The loan portfolio increased $16.8 million, or 1.7%, during the quarter. Loans increased to $978.9 million at March 31, 2021, compared to $962.1 million at December 31, 2020.

Net Interest Income and Average Earning Assets – Net interest income was $10.7 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared to $10.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, and $9.8 million for the first quarter of 2020. Average loans decreased to $964.4 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared to $965.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, and increased compared to $949.2 million for the first quarter of 2020. Average loans for the first quarter of 2021 were positively impacted by $18.6 million of loan originations under the SBA Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) and $42.4 million during 2020. PPP loan balances totaled $27.9 million at March 31, 2021, compared to $20.3 million at December 31, 2020.

Net interest margin was 3.53% for the first quarter of 2021 and the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to 3.31% for the first quarter of 2020. The yield on earning assets decreased to 4.05% in the first quarter of 2021, compared to 4.12% in the fourth quarter of 2020, and 4.50% in the first quarter of 2020. The yield on earning assets in the first quarter of 2021 and fourth quarter of 2020 were negatively impacted by lower interest rates on the Bank’s fed funds, certain floating rate investment securities, and loans with variable rate repricing features. Loan fee income can meaningfully impact net interest income, loan yields, and net interest margin. The amount of loan fee income included in total interest income was $844,000, $1.0 million, and $216,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2021, December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2020, respectively. This represents 28 basis points, 33 basis points, and eight basis points of yield on earning assets and net interest margin for the quarters ended March 31, 2021, December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2020, respectively. Loan fee income for the first quarter of 2021 included $436,000 in fees earned on SBA PPP loans, as compared to $767,000 in the fourth quarter of 2020.

The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 0.68% for the first quarter of 2021, compared to 0.76% in the fourth quarter of 2020, and 1.45% in the first quarter of 2020. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities continued to decline primarily based on the downward repricing of time deposits. Time deposits declined $12.2 million during the first quarter of 2021 as approximately $104.9 million of time deposits with an average rate of 0.99% matured or repriced at lower interest rates. During the first quarter of 2021, newly originated or renewed time deposits had an average rate of 0.23% and a weighted average term of approximately 14 months.

As of March 31, 2021, time deposits comprise $355.3 million of the Company’s liabilities including $105.6 million with a current average rate of 0.56%, which reprice or mature in the second quarter of 2021.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses – The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.30% at March 31, 2021, compared to 1.29% at December 31, 2020, and 0.95% at March 31, 2020. A provision for loan loss of $350,000, or $0.04 per common share after taxes, was recorded in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $1.05 million, or $0.11 per common share after taxes, in the first quarter of 2020. The 2021 loan loss provision was attributable to the net loan charge-offs and growth within the portfolio during the quarter, while the provision for 2020 was largely attributable to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic related economic and business disruptions. Net loan charge-offs were $38,000 for the first quarter of 2021, compared to net loan charge-offs of $276,000 for the first quarter of 2020.

While the U.S. Government’s economic responses to the COVID-19 pandemic through monetary policy and fiscal stimulus have provided meaningful support to the economy, management deemed it prudent to continue to maintain its qualitative environmental factor in the allowance for loan losses to account for the pandemic risk. The Bank also granted eligible short-term loan modifications under Section 4013 of the CARES Act. Short-term loan modifications declined to $4.7 million as of March 31, 2021, compared to $15.3 million at December 31, 2020. Included in the $4.7 million of short-term modifications, is one commercial real estate loan secured by a retail facility totaling $4.4 million, which remains subject to, and is performing in accordance with, an interest only short-term COVID-19 modification. The loan is graded substandard, has been evaluated under ASC-310-10, and allocated a specific reserve of $2.2 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Non-interest Income and Expense – Non-interest income for the first quarter of 2021 increased $160,000 to $1.9 million, compared with $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily related to bank card interchange fees of $210,000, partially offset by a decrease of $120,000 in service charges on deposit accounts. Non-interest expense decreased $251,000, or 3.0%, to $8.0 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared with $8.2 million for the first quarter of 2020. Deposit and state franchise tax expense decreased $270,000 as a result of the elimination of the Kentucky bank franchise tax as discussed below.

Income Taxes – Income tax expense was $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared with $361,000 for the first quarter of 2020. Effective January 1, 2021, the state of Kentucky eliminated the bank franchise tax, which was previously recorded as a non-interest expense, and implemented a state income tax at a statutory rate of 5%. State income tax expense was $214,000 for the first quarter of 2021, compared to a state income tax benefit of $72,000 for the first quarter of 2020, which was related to the establishment of a net deferred tax asset due to the tax law change.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation

Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP based amounts. Tangible book value is calculated by excluding the balance of intangible assets from common stockholders’ equity. Tangible book value per common share is calculated by dividing tangible common equity by common shares outstanding, as compared to book value per common share, which is calculated by dividing common stockholders’ equity by common shares outstanding. Management believes this is consistent with bank regulatory agency treatment, which excludes tangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital.

The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure of expense control relative to revenue from net interest income and fee income. The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing total non-interest expenses as determined under GAAP by net interest income and total non-interest income, but excluding from the calculation net gains on the sale of securities and expenses disclosed from time to time as non-recurring in nature. Management believes this provides a reasonable measure of primary banking expenses relative to primary banking revenue.
