MCLEAN, Va., Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern National Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. SONA ("Southern National" or the "Company"), and its wholly-owned subsidiary Sonabank (the "Bank"), today announced net income of $9.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, compared to $9.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019.  Earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2020 were $0.37 on both a basic and diluted basis representing no change from the three months ended December 31, 2019.  

Earnings for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 were $23.3 million compared to $33.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019.  Earnings per share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 were $0.96 on both a basic and diluted basis compared to $1.38 basic and $1.36 diluted for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019.

The Board of Directors also announced and declared a dividend of $0.10 per share payable on February 26, 2021 to shareholders of record on February 12, 2021.  This is Southern National's thirty-seventh consecutive quarterly dividend. 

Proposed Name Change

As part of the Company's rebranding initiatives, on January 28, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company approved changing the Company's name to Primis Financial Corp., to be effective as of March 31, 2021.  The Company's wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Sonabank, will also change its name to Primis Bank, effective March 31, 2021. 

President and CEO Dennis J. Zember, Jr. commented on the rebranding initiatives and the proposed name changes, saying "Over the last year, we have focused hard on our culture.  Our efforts have centered on building the foundation for a Company with higher expectations around innovation and technology.  We want to deliver a better return for our shareholders and an experience for our customers that prompts them to brag about us.  We are committed to train harder, develop more expertise in all areas and build relationships that will last.  This kind of effort and commitment deserves a first class brand."

Mr. Zember continued, "Effective March 31, 2021, our ticker symbol will also change from SONA to FRST and our website will become www.primisbank.com."

Adjusted Recurring Profitability

In addition to a significant build in the allowance for credit losses related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the adoption of CECL, the Company incurred expenses for management restructuring and its newly announced branding initiative.  Adjusted earnings(1), after considering certain non-recurring items, totaled $6.39 million for the quarter or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to $8.96 million or $0.37 per diluted share for the same quarter in 2019.  For the year, the Company reported adjusted earnings of approximately $25.0 million or $1.03 per diluted share, a decrease from $36.1 million or $1.48 per diluted share in 2019.  The table below includes information on these revenues and expenses for the fourth quarter of 2020:

Highlights for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020

  • Total assets ended the year at $3.09 billion.
  • Loans on deferral were $122.0 million or 5.75% of total loans excluding PPP balances and in-line with expectations at the end of the fourth quarter.   Approximately 59% of total deferrals were from the hotel portfolio while restaurant deferrals declined to approximately $0.5 million.
  • Total deposits increased $216.1 million from the previous quarter despite a $71.6 million decline in CDs over the last three months.
  • Demand deposits (NIB, NOW, MMDA) increased to 72.3% of total deposits compared to 56.3% at the end of 2019.
  • Cost of deposits declined to 0.71% for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to 1.37% for the fourth quarter of 2019.
  • The Company booked its first Panacea loan customers in the quarter.
  • Mortgage contribution of $2.57 million for the fourth quarter versus $16 thousand for the year-ago period.
  • Pre-tax pre-provision operating earnings(1) of $12.1 million or 1.56% of average assets for the quarter compared to $10.2 million or 1.50% in the same quarter in 2019.
  • Allowance for credit losses to gross loans (excluding PPP balances) of 1.71% at December 31, 2020.
  • Tangible book value per share(1) of $11.60 at December 31, 2020, an increase of $0.51 from a year ago despite a significant build in reserves for credit losses and $0.40 in dividends paid in 2020.

Commenting on the quarter and year, President and CEO Dennis J. Zember, Jr. said, "We finished 2020 with another good quarter.  We had strong net income while managing through a resurgence in the pandemic and implementing the CECL accounting standard.  Our primary balance sheet accomplishments include the dramatic improvement in our deposit portfolio that went well beyond industry trends towards extra liquidity.  Additionally, we grew tangible book value despite a dramatic increase in the reserve and a strong dividend.  Long-term, the most impactful thing we did was our work on the Company's culture.  Building an organization that attracts the best bankers and allows them to win is not an overnight assignment.  Changing our name and our brand, and committing to an image that mirrors this attitude is critical and I believe our work here will pay dividends quickly."

Matthew A. Switzer, Executive Vice President and CFO, added "We are focused on growing our loan portfolio in 2021 and deploying excess liquidity.  To that end, late in the fourth quarter of 2020 we hired a new market executive and a four person lending team in Northern Virginia from a large regional bank and plan to add to this team in the near future.  We expect substantially more production and growth from this key market.  We are excited about having these strong bankers on board and look forward to serving the customers they bring to the bank with our new brand and strategy."

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased to $25.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 from $20.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019 due to higher levels of average earning assets and extraordinary net accretion of certain deferred PPP loan fees and expenses as highlighted above. The Company's reported net interest margin for the fourth quarter increased to 3.58% compared to 3.18% in the third quarter of 2020 and 3.35% in the fourth quarter of 2019.  Net interest margin excluding the effects of PPP loans(1) was 3.23% in the fourth quarter of 2020, down 5 bps from 3.28% linked-quarter.

Yield on loans for the fourth quarter was 4.57%(1), excluding the effect of PPP loans, compared to 5.06% in the same quarter of 2019.   Lower yields on loans are the result of the significant decline in interest rates in the first half of the year.  While lower rates also lowered funding costs, the Company aggressively pursued core deposits during the year to replace brokered time deposits and other sources of wholesale funding.  Despite actively pursuing core deposits and positively shifting the Company's deposit mix, the cost of total deposits still declined to 0.71% in the fourth quarter of 2020 from 1.37% in the year-ago quarter.  Management believes that there is a likelihood for increased core margins and profitability levels from this global repricing activity.

Commenting on the trends around net interest margin, Mr. Zember stated "We recognize that our deposit costs are higher than our peers and are committed to continue shifting our deposit mix away from CDs.  We have already moved time deposits to approximately 20% of total deposits and will start working to lower deposit costs in a way that will not affect the stability of our deposit base.  As previously articulated, our goal is to finish 2021 with the deposit side of our balance sheet mixed similarly to our peers with costs that are in-line with the industry."

Noninterest Income

During the three months ended December 31, 2020, Southern National had non-interest income of $8.0 million compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019.  Income on account maintenance and deposit service fees declined $147 thousand from the year-ago period primarily in account service charges and non-sufficient fund fees. Gains on our investment in Southern Trust Mortgage ("STM") increased to $2.6 million compared to $16 thousand in the same quarter in 2019, driven by higher margins on closed loans and materially higher volumes from refinance activity as well as production from new hires and teams that were on boarded in the second half of 2019.   Recoveries on securities net of losses on securities sold totaled $2.96 million.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $18.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared to $13.8 million reported for the three months ended December 31, 2019.  Employee compensation and benefits expense increased $2.5 million due to increased staffing in the commercial lending and Panacea divisions along with modified incentive and bonus plans and increased costs associated with recruitment.  We recorded a net loss of $905 thousand on other real estate owned in the quarter versus no gains or losses in the year-ago period.  Other expenses increased $1.3 million, largely due to initiatives associated with our pending name change and rebranding efforts.

Loan Portfolio and Asset Quality

Loans outstanding grew to $2.44 billion at December 31, 2020 compared to $2.19 billion at the same time in 2019.  Excluding PPP loans, loans outstanding have decreased $65.0 million since December 31, 2019.  The Company ended the fourth quarter of 2020 with $122.0 million of loans on deferral, or 5.75% of total loans excluding PPP loans.  Hotels account for 58.9% of all deferrals with 27.1% of the hotel portfolio deferred at December 31, 2020.  Of the hotel deferrals, 58.3% are paying interest with the remainder deferring both interest and principal.

Nonperforming assets, excluding portions guaranteed by the SBA, were 0.47% of total assets at December 31, 2020, compared to 0.40% at December 31, 2019. Total non-accrual loans (net of SBA guarantees) increased to $11.4 million at December 31, 2020 compared to $4.8 million at December 31, 2019 due to COVID-19 related issues.  Loans rated substandard increased to $44.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 from $19.2 million linked-quarter largely due to one hotel relationship comprised of three hotels in Blacksburg, Virginia, that has been impacted by reduced travel and athletic events at Virginia Tech.

The Allowance for Credit Losses increased to $36.3 million at December 31, 2020, up substantially from $10.3 million at December 31, 2019, due to pandemic-related provisioning and the adoption of the Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") accounting standard.  As a percentage of loans (excluding PPP), the allowance is 1.71% at the end of the current quarter in 2020.  Annualized net charge-offs to average loans remained low at 13 basis points for the fourth quarter of 2020 versus 17 basis points in the year-ago period.

Deposits

Total deposits increased to $2.43 billion at December 31, 2020 compared to $2.12 billion at the same time in 2019.  During the quarter, CDs declined by $71.6 million while core deposits (demand, NOW, money market and savings) increased $287.8 million linked-quarter.  Time deposits now represent approximately 20% of total deposits.   The Company is aggressively building sales and incentive cultures focused on growing and managing core deposits, with the primary attention on commercial and consumer checking accounts.  Management expects continued improvement in the funding mix over the next several quarters with more material reductions in total funding costs to occur in the last several quarters of 2021.

Non-GAAP Measures

Statements included in this press release include non-GAAP financial measures and should be read along with the accompanying tables. Southern National uses non-GAAP financial measures to analyze its performance. The measures entitled return on average assets – operating; net income adjusted for nonrecurring income and expenses; pre-tax pre-provision earnings  – operating; pre-tax pre-provision return on average assets – operating; return on average equity- operating; return on average tangible equity – operating; efficiency ratio-operating; tangible common equity; tangible common equity to tangible assets; tangible book value per share; net interest margin excluding SBA PPP loans; and net interest margin – operating are not measures recognized under GAAP and therefore are considered non-GAAP financial measures.
