DUNN, N.C., Jan. 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Select Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLCT) (the “Company”), the holding company for Select Bank & Trust Company (the “Bank”), today reported net income for the year ended December 31, 2020 of $8.2 million, or $0.46 and $0.45 per basic and diluted share, respectively, as compared to net income for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $13.0 million, or $0.69 and $0.68 per basic and diluted share, respectively. This was a decrease of 37.4% in net income compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. Net income per share declined approximately 33.3% for basic and 33.8% for diluted per share for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decline in net income is primarily attributable to an increase of $5.8 million in loan loss allowance provision during 2020 as compared to 2019, incurring debt extinguishment expenses of $1.6 million for the payoff of $45.0 million of FHLB advances with a composite rate of 2.76% during the 2020 4th quarter, recognized $755,000 in integration expenses during the year related to the acquisition of three branches in western North Carolina, and $2.3 million in deferred interest income related to COVID-19 loan modifications. These items were partially offset by $2.6 million in revenue from loan fees associated with loans originated by the Bank as part of the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), recognized under the effective interest rate method. The number of weighted shares outstanding decreased due to the repurchase by the Company of 834,608 shares of common stock completed during 2020. Management expects the repurchase of shares to continue in 2021 under the Company’s previously announced stock repurchase plan.
For the three-month period ended December 31, 2020, the Company reported net income of $3.9 million, or $0.22 per basic and diluted share, respectively, as compared to net income of $2.5 million, or $0.14 per basic and diluted share, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, representing an increase of 57.1% in net income for the 2020 fourth quarter.
Initiatives to expand the market footprint of the franchise reduced net income in 2020 compared to 2019 due to the increased expenses associated with the opening of a new branch in Cornelius, North Carolina (the Charlotte area) and the acquisition of three western North Carolina branches mentioned above.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income was $16.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to $11.9 million for the same period in 2019. On a comparative quarter basis, the Company’s total interest income was positively affected by increased loan balances due to growth. Loan yields decreased but were partially offset by increased loan fee income primarily from PPP loan forgiveness. On a comparative quarter basis, the Company’s total interest income was positively affected by increased investment balances due to growth which was partially offset by decreasing investment yields. Average total interest-earning assets were $1.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to $1.2 billion for the same period in 2019. The yield on those assets decreased 27 basis points, from 5.05% in the fourth quarter of 2019 to 4.78% for the same period in 2020. This was primarily due to lower rates on recently purchased investments and cash in other banks on a comparative quarter basis.
The Company’s average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $333.4 million, to $1.1 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, from $801.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. The cost of those funds decreased from 1.46% to 0.94%, or 52 basis points. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company’s net interest margin was 4.10% and net interest spread was 3.84%. In the fourth quarter of 2019, net interest margin was 4.05% and net interest spread was 3.59%.
Net interest income was $52.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $5.6 million from the $46.9 million in net interest income reported for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company’s total interest income increased by approximately $4.8 million in 2020 versus 2019, and the cost of funds decreased by approximately $797,000 from the prior period. The Company’s increase in total interest income was fueled by an increase in loans and purchases of securities. Average total interest-earning assets were $1.4 billion for 2020 compared with $1.2 billion for 2019, while the yield on those assets decreased 46 basis points from 5.03% to 4.57%, which was primarily due to the decrease in rates on purchased investment securities and other earning assets.
The Company’s average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $183.4 million, to $978.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, from $795.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, with the cost of those funds decreasing from 1.45% to 1.10%, or 35 basis points. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s net interest margin was 3.79% and net interest spread was 3.47%. For the year ended December 31, 2019, net interest margin was 4.04% and net interest spread was 3.58%.
Provision for Loan Losses and Asset Quality
During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $400,000, based primarily on loan growth and adjustments to qualitative loan factors related to trends in the loan portfolio. On a comparative quarter basis, the Company had a $302,000 provision for the fourth quarter of 2019. In the third quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $1.6 million, based primarily on economic disruptions due to COVID-19, net charge-offs of $104,000 and changes in qualitative loan factors during the quarter. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company incurred net recoveries of $147,000, a net recovery rate of 0.05% of average loans, compared to a net charge-off rate of 0.04% in the third quarter of 2020.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $6.2 million, compared to a provision of $438,000 for 2019. This increase for 2020 was based primarily on the market disruption from COVID-19 and its effect on economic indicators, loan growth, net charge-offs incurred and the increase in qualitative loan factors. The net charge-off ratio for the year ended December 31, 2020 was 0.04%, compared to 0.08% for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of gross loans at December 31, 2020 was 1.08% compared to 0.81% at December 31, 2019.

Comments of the Chief Executive Officer
William L Hedgepeth, II, President and CEO of the Company, commented, “Our commitment to expand our market footprint and implement our initiatives continued in 2020 even as we addressed major disruptions in the economy caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We opened the Cornelius branch in the Charlotte market in early February plus acquired three branches in western North Carolina in mid-April during the height of the pandemic. We were very involved in assisting businesses in the communities we serve with the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and working hand-in-hand with customers who requested temporary loan modifications to provide time for those businesses to adopt changes to their operations as they adjusted to the new normal.”
“With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Select Bank & Trust stood ready to assist our customers. We granted 467 COVID-19 deferrals totaling $254.2 million at the beginning of the pandemic. As of December 31, 2020, we had 48 COVID-19 deferrals outstanding that totaled $32.7 million or 2.5% of total loans outstanding. We remain prepared to work with our customers that might need assistance in 2021.”
“We also originated 1,242 SBA PPP loans totaling $95.2 million. As of December 31, 2020, we had 786 SBA PPP loans remaining with outstanding balances totaling $55.5 million or 4.3% of total loans outstanding. Many of those loans are in varying stages of forgiveness. In 2020 we recognized $2.6 million in SBA PPP fee income. We stand ready to assist our customers and prospective customers in 2021 should they decide to pursue SBA PPP loans for their businesses.”
Mr. Hedgepeth added, “We continue to review opportunities for expansion and analyze each with a discipline designed to properly deploy the capital entrusted to us. Our share repurchase program remains active, and we are able to return capital to shareholders by buying our shares when market conditions warrant. We intend to retain adequate capital for expansion which meet our criteria.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain financial measures we use to evaluate our performance and discuss in this release and the accompanying tables are identified as being “non-GAAP financial measures.” In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, we classify a financial measure as being a non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time in the United States in our statements of operations, balance sheet or statements of cash flows. Non-GAAP financial measures do not include operating and other statistical measures or ratios or statistical measures calculated using exclusively either financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, operating measures or other measures that are not non-GAAP financial measures or both.
The non-GAAP financial measures that we discuss in this release should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate the non-GAAP financial measures that we discuss in this release may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names. You should understand how such other banking organizations calculate their financial measures similar, or with names similar, to the non-GAAP financial measures we have discussed in this release when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures.
Tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) tangible common equity as shareholders’ equity less goodwill and core deposit intangibles; and (b) tangible book value per share as tangible common equity (as described in clause (a)) divided by shares of common stock outstanding. For tangible book value per share, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is our book value per share. A reconciliation of tangible book value per share to book value per share is included in the tables that accompany this release.
We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in changes from period to period in book value per share exclusive of changes in intangible assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets have the effect of increasing total book value while not increasing our tangible book value.
