Pacific Financial Corp Earns $2.1 Million, or $0.20 per Diluted Share, for Fourth Quarter of 2021; Earnings were $12.7 Million, or $1.22 per Diluted Share, for the Full Year 2021
Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.13 per Share
ABERDEEN, Wash., Jan. 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pacific Financial Corporation (OTCQX: PFLC), (“Pacific Financial”) or the (“Company”), the holding company for Bank of the Pacific (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $2.1 million, or $0.20 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $3.8 million, or $0.37 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2020, and $2.6 million, or $0.25 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2021. Included in earnings for the current quarter was the recapture of $150,000 from the allowance for loan losses, compared to recording no provision for loan losses for the fourth quarter of 2020, and a recapture of $500,000 for the third quarter of 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2021, net income increased 12% to $12.7 million, or $1.22 per diluted share, compared to $11.4 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2020. Included in earnings for the full year 2021 was the recapture of $3.7 million from the allowance for loan losses, compared to a provision for loan losses of $3.5 million for 2020. All results are unaudited.
The board of directors of Pacific Financial declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per share on January 26, 2022. The dividend will be payable on February 28, 2022, to shareholders of record on February 14, 2022.
“We are very pleased with our financial performance for 2021 with earnings for the full year representing one of the highest in our history,” said Denise Portmann, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Credit quality remains solid, aided by continued low levels of adversely classified and nonperforming loans. Non-impaired especially mention or watch loan balances decreased by $76.5 million from a year ago, and we recaptured a total of $3.7 million from the allowance for loans losses during the full year 2021. In addition, we continued to benefit from the Small Business Administration (‘SBA’) Paycheck Protection Program (‘PPP’) with total PPP interest and fee income of $1.0 million and $5.0 million recognized for the current quarter and during the year, respectively.”
“The loan portfolio declined during the fourth quarter, and year-over-year, primarily due to PPP forgiveness, pay downs, and lower loan line utilization on C&I Loans. Loan production was solid and we expect loan activity to continue to pick up in 2022. We are pleased with our entire team coming together and doing an outstanding job supporting our clients and servicing their financial needs,” said Portmann. “Total deposits increased 15% year-over-year with noninterest-bearing deposits representing 42% of total deposits at year end contributing to our strong balance sheet. As a result of our higher liquidity balances, we expect to continue to leverage excess liquidity over the coming periods.”

Income Statement Review
Net income was $2.1 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $3.8 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter a year ago, and $2.6 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2021, net income increased 12% to $12.7 million, or $1.22 per diluted share, compared to $11.4 million, or $1.07 per diluted share for 2020.
Net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, was $8.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $9.7 million for the fourth quarter a year ago and $8.9 million for the third quarter of 2021. Amortized PPP fees and interest totaled $1.0 million, $1.6 million and $1.0 million, for the quarters ended December 31, 2021, December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2021, respectively. For the full year 2021, net interest income was $35.9 million, compared to $37.2 million for 2020, with amortized PPP fees and interest totaling $5.0 million and $3.3 million for 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Net interest margin (“NIM”) was 2.79% for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to 3.53% for the fourth quarter of 2020, and 2.86% for the third quarter of 2021. For the full year 2021, the NIM was 3.00% compared to 3.73% for 2020. “Our NIM continued to be impacted by the low-interest rate environment as well as a change in the balance sheet composition with lower-yielding fed funds sold and securities comprising 46% of the balance sheet at year-end 2021 compared to 29% at year-end 2020 and 44% for the linked quarter”, said Carla Tucker, Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer. “However, despite the continued pressure from the low-rate environment as interest rates move toward more normal levels, we expect our margin to benefit from repricing of existing loans and our high liquidity levels.“ The increased liquidity resulted from the continued growth in core deposit balances and PPP loan forgiveness payments.
Average loan yields, excluding PPP loans, for the current quarter was 4.45% compared to 4.70% for the fourth quarter of 2020 and 4.59% for the third quarter of 2021. Average loan yields, including PPP loans, for the current quarter decreased 6 basis points to 4.82% from 4.88% for the fourth quarter of 2020 and remained flat compared to the third quarter of 2021. For 2021, loan yields increased to 4.81%, compared to 4.80% for the full year 2020. Yields on average investment securities declined during the quarter and year-over-year as the company purchased additional balances of securities at yields lower than the previous portfolio.
The Bank’s total cost of funds continued to decrease, though at a slower pace than in 2020, and was 0.09% for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to 0.19% a year earlier, and 0.10% for the linked quarter. For the full year 2021 compared to 2020, cost of funds declined 14 basis points. These reductions were primarily the result of the decreases in deposit market rates as well as a reduction in the borrowing rate on the Company’s junior subordinated debentures.
Noninterest income declined 48%, or $2.8 million, to $3.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $5.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, and declined 24%, or $953,000, from $4.0 million for the third quarter of 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2021, non-interest income was $16.7 million, compared to $20.1 million, for the year ended December 31, 2020. Gain-on-sale of loans decreased $2.6 million for the current quarter to $1.5 million, compared to the fourth quarter a year ago, and declined $93,000 from the preceding quarter. For the full year of 2021, gain-on-sale of loans decreased $4.3 million to $9.4 million from $13.7 million for the year 2020. During the quarter, refinance volume slowed and combined with lower gain on sale margins during 2021 resulted in the decreased gains year-over-year and on a linked quarter basis. Our customers’ use of digital channels has increased during the pandemic with transactions volumes and fees from debit card, credit card and ATM growing. Total fees from these digital channels increased $600,000 on a full year basis from 2020 to 2021 to $2.9 million.
Noninterest expenses decreased 12% to $9.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $10.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 and declined $1.1 million from $10.4 million for the third quarter of 2021. The decrease from the linked quarter and prior year like-quarter primarily reflects the decrease in lower variable commissions on mortgage banking due to the decline in loan originations during those time periods. For the full year 2021, total noninterest expense increased 3%, or $1.1 million, to $40.7 million compared to $39.6 million for 2020. This increase was attributable to higher FDIC assessments as available credits were fully used in 2020, increased state assessments and higher levels of professional services.
The Bank had $483,000 in income tax expense for the fourth quarter of 2021, down 51% from $991,000 for the fourth quarter of 2021 and up 31% from $368,000 from the preceding quarter. The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2021 was 18.5%, compared to 20.5% for the fourth quarter a year ago, and 12.3% for the third quarter of 2021. Third quarter 2021 tax rate reflected the impact of the tax-exempt BOLI event. These income tax rates include federal corporate income tax and Oregon corporate income tax.
Balance Sheet Review
Total Assets increased 13% to $1.32 billion, at December 31, 2021, compared to $1.17 billion at December 31, 2020, and decreased 1% from $1.34 billion at September 30, 2021.
Investment Securities increased 87% to $233.9 million at December 31, 2021, compared to $125.2 million at December 31, 2020 and grew 5% from $223.6 million at September 30, 2021. The Bank continued to deploy a portion of its excess liquidity into investment securities during the quarter. This included $17.2 million in investment purchases, which was partially offset by $6.0 million in calls, maturities and payments. During 2021, the average adjusted duration of the investment securities portfolio increased from 4.2 to 4.8. At year-end, federal funds sold balances remained at higher than historical levels, primarily as a result of total deposit increases over the last year, as well as the receipt of PPP loan forgiveness payments.
Gross loan balances were $629.8 million at December 31, 2021, $732.0 million at December 31, 2020, and $665.6 million at September 30, 2021. Declines in balances were driven primarily by PPP forgiveness of $14.9 million for the current quarter, and $138.5 million during the 2021 as well as several large expected pay-offs from customers selling their businesses occurring at year-end 2021. Commercial real estate (“CRE”), which includes both owner occupied, non-owner occupied and multifamily, totaled 55%, or $343.5, of the loan portfolio, at December 31, 2021. CRE owner occupied decreased to $154.9 million at December 31, 2021, from $156.8 million a year earlier, and increased from $153.5 million at September 30, 2021, while non-owner occupied decreased during the like time-frames. Multi-family increased to $39.9 million at December 31, 2021, from $31.3 million a year earlier, and decreased $117,000 from $39.9 million at September 30, 2021. At December 31, 2021, CRE concentration percentages were 173% of total risk-based capital; well below the regulatory guidance limit of 300%. Commercial and agricultural loans, excluding PPP loans, decreased to $85.3 million compared to $100.8 million year-over-year, in part due to decreased lines of credit utilization, and from $88.8 million the previous quarter end. On the consumer side, loans to finance luxury and classic cars were $48.7 million at December 31, 2021, compared to $46.5 million and $49.7 million at December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2021, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the luxury and classic car portfolio includes 824 loans with an average balance of $59,000. The portfolio continues to perform adequately, as delinquent and non-accrual loans were 0.11% of the total luxury and classic car portfolio at December 31, 2021.
Loans are predominately originated within the Western Washington and Oregon markets and the Bank’s portfolio is well-diversified by collateral type and by industry with a prudent credit discipline. With the risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic reducing in severity, early in 2021 the Bank made reasonable adjustments to incrementally relax certain underwriting guidance that had been tightened earlier in the pandemic, for non-owner occupied commercial real estate lending. To manage risk, the Bank oversees new loan origination volume and current loan balances using concentration limits that establish maximum exposure levels by designated industry segment, real estate product types, geography and single borrower limits.
Credit Quality
Credit quality continues to remain strong, with nonperforming assets declining $971,000 to $1.4 million or 0.11% of total assets million at December 31, 2021 from $2.4 million or 0.20% of total assets at December 31, 2020, and down $573,000 from the linked quarter at $2.0 million or 0.15%. The decrease year over year was due to the combined results including transfer of credit to other assets, risk rating upgrades, loan payoffs, and loan pay-downs, while quarter over quarter was primarily related to the payoff of 2 loans totaling $540,000. Balances related to non-impaired loans graded watch or other loans especially mentioned, increased $2.1 million during the quarter to $32.8 million from the preceding quarter.
The Bank’s clients continue to successfully manage through the pandemic with only one loan under a COVID-19 payment deferral as of 12/31/2021 with a balance of $74,000. In addition, the Bank continues to monitor several industries that are potentially more vulnerable to the economic and business impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic. Those industries include restaurants, retail trade, and recreation and entertainment. Although these industries are potentially more directly impacted by COVID-19, the bank’s customer base within these sectors covers a wide range of clients, and are managed by experienced management teams who aid in working through these economic challenges. At December 31, 2021, total loans to these industries was $47.9 million, representing 8% of gross loans excluding PPP.

The Allowance for Loan Losses (“ALL”) was $8.3 million, or 1.37% of gross loans (excluding PPP) at December 31, 2021, compared to $12.1 million, or 2.01% of gross loans, at December 31, 2020, and $8.5 million, or 1.38%, at September 30, 2021. Net charge-offs totaled $80,000 for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to a net recovery of $66,000 for the fourth quarter a year earlier, and net charge offs of $51,000 for the third quarter of 2021. The Bank reversed $150,000 of loan loss provision during the current quarter compared to a no provision for the like quarter a year ago and a recapture of $500,000 for the linked quarter. The reversal of provision for loan losses during 2021 reflects management’s ongoing assessment of the credit quality of the company’s loan portfolio.
Total Deposits increased $150.5 million, or 15%, to $1.2 billion at December 31, 2021, compared to $1.0 billion at December 31, 2020, and decreased $15.9 million, or 1%, from $1.2 billion at September 30, 2021. Increases compared to a year ago are primarily related to SBA PPP loan funds deposited into customer accounts as well as an increase in general client liquidity due to reduced business investment and consumer spending, elevated savings patterns and other stimulus related funds. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased 44%, or $149.4 million, to $492.2 million at December 31, 2021, compared to $342.7 million at December 31, 2020, and declined by $1.4 million from $493.6 million at September 30, 2021. Term deposits declined 11% to $58.7 million at December 31, 2021, from $65.9 million at December 31, 2020, and were down 5% from $61.8 million at September 30, 2021. Time deposits represented a small percentage of total deposits at 5% of deposits at December 31, 2021.
Shareholder’s Equity was $117.6 million at December 31, 2021 compared to $114.2 million at December 31, 2020 and $117.5 million at September 30, 2021. Regulatory capital ratios of both the company and the Bank continue to exceed the well-capitalized regulatory thresholds, with the company’s leverage ratio at 8.8% and total risk-based capital ratio at 17.6% as of December 31, 2021. The total risk-based capital ratios of the Company include $13.4 million of junior subordinated debentures, all of which qualified as Tier 1 capital under guidance issued by the Federal Reserve. The company’s tangible book value per share was $10.03 compared to $9.65 a year ago.
