The Company has funded 2,922 PPP loans totaling $581.7 million as of August 8, 2020 when the program closed, of which $568.4 million remains outstanding, net of deferred fees and costs at September 30, 2020.

Total investment securities at September 30, 2020 decreased $72.1 million to $784.4 million, as compared to $856.5 million at June 30, 2020, and increased approximately $217.3 million from $567.1 million at September 30, 2019.

Total deposits at September 30, 2020 increased $352.3 million to $6.8 billion from $6.4 billion at June 30, 2020 and increased $1.1 billion from $5.7 billion at September 30, 2019.

The ratio of stockholders' equity to total assets was 10.39 percent at September 30, 2020, as compared to 10.21 percent at June 30, 2020, and 11.83 percent at September 30, 2019. The ratio of tangible stockholders' equity to tangible assets (non-GAAP) was 8.73 percent at September 30, 2020, as compared to 8.56 percent at June 30, 2020, and 9.94 percent at September 30, 2019.

On December 4, 2019, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing management to repurchase up to $10.0 million of the Company's common stock over a period of twelve months commencing on January 1, 2020 and ending on December 31, 2020. On March 9, 2020, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the repurchase amount of $10.0 million bringing the total authorized amount to $20.0 million. Subsequently, as previously disclosed, the Company suspended the stock repurchase program effective as of March 24, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has repurchased 848,319 shares at a weighted average price of $12.27. In 2019, 136,065 shares of the Company's common stock were repurchased by the Company.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income increased $1.6 million to $65.9 million during the third quarter of 2020 from $64.3 million at the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The net interest margin decreased 1 basis point to 3.08 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Total non-interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 decreased $1.3 million to $4.9 million from $6.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by decreases of $0.9 million in loan level derivative income, net, $0.5 million in gain on investment securities, net and $0.5 million in other non-interest income, partially offset by increases of $0.3 million in deposit fees and $0.3 million in gain on sales of loans and leases.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments", commonly referred to as CECL. 

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $4.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, compared to $5.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Total net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2020 were $5.0 million compared to $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2020. The increase in net charge-offs in the quarter was driven by the charge-off of $4.3 million on a commercial taxi medallion relationship which had a $3.2 million specific reserve previously established. The ratio of net loan and lease charge-offs to average loans and leases on an annualized basis increased to 27 basis points for the third quarter of 2020 from 8 basis points for the second quarter of 2020.

While economic conditions and forecasts have generally improved from Q2, there remains significant uncertainty and volatility related to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on businesses and households as we enter the fall and winter seasons.

The allowance for loan and lease losses represented 1.62 percent of total loans and leases at September 30, 2020, compared to 1.61 percent at June 30, 2020, and 0.89 percent at September 30, 2019. Excluding PPP loans, the allowance for loan and lease losses represents 1.76 percent coverage at September 30, 2020 compared to 1.75 percent at June 30, 2020.

ASSET QUALITY

The ratio of nonperforming loans and leases to total loans and leases was 0.51 percent at September 30, 2020, a decrease from 0.56 percent at June 30, 2020. Total nonaccrual loans and leases decreased $3.3 million to $38.0 million at September 30, 2020 from $41.3 million at June 30, 2020. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.44 percent at September 30, 2020, a decrease from 0.47 percent at June 30, 2020. Total nonperforming assets decreased $3.4 million to $39.4 million at September 30, 2020 from $42.8 million at June 30, 2020.

From March 1, 2020 through the earlier of December 31, 2020 or 60 days after the termination date of the national emergency declared by the President on March 13, 2020 concerning the COVID-19 outbreak (the "national emergency"), a financial institution may elect to suspend the requirements under accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for loan modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic that would otherwise be categorized as a troubled debt restructured, including impairment accounting. This troubled debt restructuring relief applies for the term of the loan modification that occurs during the applicable period for a loan that was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. Financial institutions are required to maintain records of the volume of loans involved in modifications to which troubled debt restructuring relief is applicable. As of September 30, 2020, approximately 77 percent of loans granted an initial loan payment deferral have returned to payment status and 910 credits totaling $280 million or 3.8 percent of total loans outstanding have been modified.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 increased $1.8 million to $40.9 million from $39.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by increases of $1.5 million in compensation and employee benefits expense due to lower deferred loan origination costs, $0.5 million in FDIC insurance expense and $0.1 million in equipment and data processing expense, partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in other expense.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate was 26.2 percent and 23.9 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 24.9 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 24.9 percent and 24.4 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

RETURNS ON AVERAGE ASSETS AND AVERAGE EQUITY

The annualized return on average assets decreased to 0.83 percent during the third quarter 2020 from 0.88 percent for the second quarter of 2020.

The annualized return on average stockholders' equity decreased to 7.99 percent during the third quarter of 2020 from 8.45 percent for the second quarter of 2020. The annualized return on average tangible stockholders' equity decreased to 9.70 percent for the third quarter of 2020 from 10.28 percent for the second quarter of 2020.

DIVIDEND DECLARED

The Company's Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.115 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The dividend will be paid on November 27, 2020 to stockholders of record on November 13, 2020.

STOCK REPURCHASE

As previously disclosed, the Company suspended its stock repurchase program effective as of March 24, 2020 with $9.6 million remaining in the Board authorized program. On October 28, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved resumption of the stock repurchase program to be completed by December 31, 2020.
