PORTLAND, Maine, April 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northeast Bank (the “Bank”) (NASDAQ: NBN), a Maine-based full-service bank, today reported record net income of $34.2 million, or $4.06 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to net income of $1.9 million, or $0.21 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 was $50.1 million, or $6.01 per diluted common share, compared to $11.5 million, or $1.25 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. Net income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 included $33.0 million of net gains on the sale of Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans originated and sold during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 under the current round of PPP, which had an after-tax earnings per diluted common share impact of $2.75 and $2.80, respectively.
The Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.01 per share, payable on May 20, 2021, to shareholders of record as of May 6, 2021.
“We reported record results in our third fiscal quarter,” said Rick Wayne, Chief Executive Officer. “Over the past six months in anticipation of another round of PPP loans, we invested in technology, marketing and other initiatives to be able to source, underwrite and fund a significant volume of PPP loans in the event the program was reinstated. We are proud to report that our planning and investment paid off. Through March 31, we originated $2.25 billion of PPP loans to over 22,000 borrowers with over 286,000 associated jobs. Of the $2.25 billion of originated PPP loans, we sold $2.14 billion to The Loan Source, Inc. (“Loan Source”) during our third fiscal quarter, generating $33.0 million of net gains. We anticipate selling the remaining loans plus any additional PPP originations to Loan Source in our fourth fiscal quarter. In addition, we generated $6.0 million of correspondent fee income under the arrangement with Loan Source and ACAP SME, LLC. Our national origination and purchase business remained strong, with a total of $109.2 million of originated and purchased loans during the quarter.” Mr. Wayne continued, “As a result, we are reporting earnings of $4.06 per diluted common share, a return on average equity of 71.1%, a return on average assets of 7.0%, and an efficiency ratio of 16.6% for the quarter.”
As of March 31, 2021, total assets were $1.71 billion, an increase of $457.1 million, or 36.3%, from total assets of $1.26 billion as of June 30, 2020.
1. Cash and short-term investments increased by $320.8 million, or 223.3%, primarily due to the timing of a large deposit account related to PPP payoff collections that is subject to significant fluctuation given the PPP activity during the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Cash and short-term investments may remain at an elevated level while PPP collections, including forgiveness amounts, continue, depending on the timing of receipts and remittances of cash amounts.

Additionally, the Bank originated $2.25 billion of loans in connection with the PPP, of which $2.14 billion were sold during the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The Bank recorded a net gain of $33.0 million from the sale of PPP loans, primarily resulting from the recognition of net deferred origination fees upon the sale of the loans. The remaining $106.1 million of PPP loans are classified as held for sale at March 31, 2021, net of unamortized deferred fees.

(1) The total return on purchased loans represents scheduled accretion, accelerated accretion, gains on asset sales, gains on real estate owned and other noninterest income recorded during the period divided by the average invested balance, which includes purchased loans held for sale, on an annualized basis. The total return on purchased loans does not include the effect of purchased loan charge-offs or recoveries during the period. Total return on purchased loans is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. See reconciliation in below table entitled “Total Return on Purchased Loans.”
3. Deposits increased by $286.4 million, or 28.3%, from June 30, 2020. The increase was attributable to increases in demand deposits of $318.8 million, or 336.5%, and savings and interest checking accounts of $128.3 million, or 93.1%, partially offset by a decrease in time deposits of $181.4 million, or 38.0%, due to intentional runoff. The increase in demand deposits was primarily due to the timing of a large deposit account related to PPP collections and payoffs that is subject to significant fluctuation given the PPP activity during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
4. Shareholders’ equity increased by $52.1 million, or 31.6%, from June 30, 2020, primarily due to net income of $50.1 million. Shareholders’ equity also increased by $1.0 million as a result of stock options exercised, which resulted in 153 thousand shares of common stock issued, and increased by $661 thousand due to a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Net income increased by $32.3 million to $34.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to net income of $1.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
1. Net interest and dividend income before provision for loan losses increased by $2.3 million to $18.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to $16.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the following:
- A decrease in deposit interest expense of $2.4 million, due to lower interest rates, partially offset by higher average balances; and
- An increase in PPP loan interest income of $2.6 million, due to higher interest income earned on PPP loans; partially offset by
- A decrease in interest income earned on the National Lending Division’s purchased and originated portfolios of $1.3 million, due to lower interest rates in both portfolios and lower average balances in the National Lending Division’s originated portfolio; and
- An increase of $300 thousand in interest expense due to advances taken from the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (“PPPLF”) to fund PPP originations during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

(1) The total return on purchased loans represents scheduled accretion, accelerated accretion, gains on asset sales and gains on real estate owned recorded during the period divided by the average invested balance, which includes purchased loans held for sale, on an annualized basis. The total return does not include the effect of purchased loan charge-offs or recoveries in the quarter. Total return is considered a non-GAAP financial measure.
2. Noninterest income increased by $38.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2020, principally due to the following:
- An increase in gain on sale of PPP loans of $33.0 million, due to the sale of PPP loans with a total principal balance of $2.14 billion, which resulted in a net gain based on the recognition of net deferred fees in the quarter ended March 31, 2021; and
- An increase in correspondent fee income of $6.0 million from the recognition of correspondent fees and net servicing income as a result of the correspondent arrangement entered into with Loan Source during the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Under the correspondent arrangement, the Bank earns a correspondent fee when Loan Source purchases PPP loans and the Bank subsequently shares in net servicing income on such purchased PPP loans. Correspondent income for the quarter is comprised of the following components:
Income Earned | |||

Correspondent Fee | $ | 1,098 | |

(1) - Northeast Bank's share |
(2) - Expected to be recognized into income over approximate life of loans |
These increases were partially offset by:
- A decrease in gain on sale of SBA loans of $237 thousand, since no traditional SBA loans were sold in the quarter ended March 31, 2021; and
- A decrease in gain on sale of residential loans held for sale of $135 thousand, due to lower volume of loans sold compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
3. Noninterest expense decreased by $445 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to the following:
- A decrease in salaries expense of $847 thousand, primarily due to an increase of $4.4 million in deferred salaries contra-expense related to PPP originations, partially offset by an increase of $3.3 million in bonus expense, attributable to the high level of PPP originations and sales; and
- A decrease in other noninterest expense of $371 thousand, primarily due to the $276 thousand recovery on the SBA servicing asset during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, as compared to a $215 thousand write-down in the quarter ended March 31, 2020, partially offset by other expenses, including charitable contributions.
These decreases in noninterest expense were partially offset by:
- An increase in data processing expense of $308 thousand, primarily due to increased IT hardware expense, computer service fees, and implementation fees;
- An increase in professional fees of $260 thousand; and
- An increase in loan expense of $139 thousand, primarily due to $422 thousand in correspondent expenses associated with the Loan Source arrangement, partially offset by an increase in collection expense reimbursements received during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
4. Income tax expense increased by $12.7 million to $14.5 million, or an effective tax rate of 29.8%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to $1.7 million, or an effective tax rate of 48.1%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The increase in income tax expense is due to the increase in pre-tax income. The decrease in the effective tax rate from March 31, 2020 is primarily due to the Bank’s recording of a $554 thousand expense related to the recapture of the tax reserve for loan losses as a result of the repurchase of common stock in the quarter ended March 31, 2020. This was a one-time expense as the Bank has now recaptured all of its tax bad debt reserve, which arose from pre-1988 bad debt deductions taken for tax purposes in excess of net charge-offs, which had to be recaptured.
As of March 31, 2021, nonperforming assets totaled $25.8 million, or 1.51% of total assets, compared to $24.4 million, or 1.94% of total assets, as of June 30, 2020. As of March 31, 2021, past due loans totaled $16.7 million, or 1.67% of total loans, compared to past due loans totaling $16.4 million, or 1.69% of total loans, as of June 30, 2020.
As of March 31, 2021, the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 14.3%, compared to 13.4% at June 30, 2020, and the Total capital ratio was 23.4% at March 31, 2021, compared to 19.6% at June 30, 2020. Capital ratios were affected by earnings during the nine months ended March 31, 2021.
