Carlos P. Naudon, the Company's President and CEO, noted "We are pleased to have added to the great start we had for 2021; we continue executing well on all fronts. Our deposit growth is well centered on new customer acquisition while lowering our cost of funds; likewise, our loan portfolio expansion continues with little adverse effect on our net interest margin and ALLL. Importantly, our growth in PPP loans, a large but not the sole source of our growth, has had a very positive impact on our communities. GPS, our Salesforce initiative, has begun to tangibly demonstrate its value while we focus on lowering our operating expenses and increasing profitability. On June 15, 2021, Ponce Bank was approved by the United States Department of the Treasury to receive $1.8 million in federal Economic Relief Funds for Small Businesses. This is further evidence that we are well positioned to benefit from the rediscovery of the important role MDIs and CDFIs like us have in remediating the disparate effects of the pandemic, and the wealth and financial gaps present, in our communities."

Executive Chairman's Comments

Steven A. Tsavaris, the Company's Executive Chairman, added "As we cross the first anniversary of our acquisition, we are pleased that Mortgage World continues to contribute to our product expansion and diversification; its integration with Ponce Bank branches will be enhanced by the renovation of our banking facilities.

Loan Payment Deferrals

Through June 30, 2021, 417 loans aggregating $385.0 million had received forbearance, primarily consisting of the deferral of principal, interest, and escrow payments for a period of three months, of which 23 loans have since been paid-off by borrowers as of June 30, 2021.

The Company actively monitors the business activities of borrowers in forbearance and seeks to determine their capacity to resume payments as contractually obligated upon the termination of the forbearance period. The initial and extended forbearances are short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and in furtherance of governmental policies.
