President’s Comments

Andrew J. Ryback, director, president, and chief executive officer of Plumas Bancorp and Plumas Bank, commented on the third quarter of 2024, stating, “We anticipate increased deposit retention as a result of the Fed's decision to cut rates by 50bp in the third quarter as rate seeking funds movement activity will likely be tempered. Additionally, lower rates will likely ease potential challenges for variable rate borrowers.”

“In the third quarter of 2024 we released our 2024 Corporate Citizenship Report, highlighting employee, community, and client engagement and support. Efforts include ongoing technological developments to enhance efficiency and reduce environmental impacts, employee development through leadership training and educational support, formalization of certain fee waivers and other forms of client support, and involvement of staff in non-equity incentives and stock option awards in addition to paying livable wages in excess of California minimum wage requirements. These efforts describe Plumas’ intention and promise to be Here. For Good.,” concluded Ryback.

Loans, Deposits, Investments and Cash

Gross loans increased by $45 million, or 5%, from $959 million at September 30, 2023, to $1.0 billion at September 30, 2024. Increases in loans included $88 million in commercial real estate loans and $5 million in commercial loans, these items were partially offset by decreases of $33 million in automobile loans, $10 million in agricultural loans and $5 million in construction loans.

On   September 30, 2024, approximately 77% of the Company's loan portfolio was comprised of variable rate loans. The rates of interest charged on variable rate loans are set at specific increments in relation to the Company's lending rate or other indexes such as the published prime interest rate or U.S. Treasury rates and vary with changes in these indexes. The frequency at which variable rate loans are repriced can vary from one day to several years. Most of our commercial real estate portfolio reprices every five years. Approximately 75% of the variable rate loans are indexed to the five year T-Bill rate and reprice every five years. Loans indexed to the prime interest rate were approximately 22% of the Company’s variable rate loan portfolio; these loans reprice within one day to three months of a change in the prime rate.

Total deposits decreased by $51 million from $1.40 billion at September 30, 2023 to $1.35 billion at September 30, 2024. The decrease in deposits includes decreases of $34 million in demand deposits, and $41 million in savings deposits. Partially offsetting these declines were increases of $12 million in both money market accounts and time deposits. While deposits decreased during the 12 month period, we experienced an increase in deposits for the three months ended September 30, 2024 of $46 million. At September 30, 2024, 52% of the Company’s deposits were in the form of non-interest-bearing demand deposits. The Company has no brokered deposits.

Total investment securities increased by $18 million from $438 million at September 30, 2023, to $457 million at September 30, 2024 related to a decline in the unrealized loss on investment securities. The Bank’s investment security portfolio consists of debt securities issued by US Government agencies, US Government sponsored agencies and municipalities. All investment securities are classified as available for sale. The unrealized loss on investment securities decreased from $76 million at September 30, 2023 to $21 million at September 30, 2024. Cash and due from banks increased by $27 million from $91 million at September 30, 2023, to $118 million at September 30, 2024.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming assets (which are comprised of nonperforming loans, other real estate owned (“OREO”) and repossessed vehicle holdings) were $4.8 million at September 30, 2024 and 2023. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets decreased slightly to 0.29% at September 30, 2024 down from 0.31% at September 30, 2023. OREO decreased by $299 thousand from $440 thousand at September 30, 2023 to $141 thousand at September 30, 2024.

Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans decreased slightly to 0.44% at September 30, 2024, down from 0.45% at September 30, 2023.

During the first nine months of 2024 we recorded a provision for credit losses of $1,346,000 consisting of a provision for credit losses on loans of $1,475,000 and a decrease in the reserve for unfunded commitments of $129 thousand. The provision includes growth in the loan portfolio, and net losses during the nine-month period. This compares to a provision for credit losses of $2,675,000 consisting of a provision for credit losses - loans of $2,425,000 and an increase in the reserve for unfunded commitments of $250,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Net charge-offs, mostly related to our automobile loan portfolio, totaled $736 thousand and $724 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The allowance for credit losses totaled $13.6 million at September 30, 2024 and $12.9 million at September 30, 2023.

Shareholders’ Equity

Total shareholders’ equity increased by $62 million from $120 million at September 30, 2023, to $182 million at September 30, 2024. The $62 million includes earnings during the twelve-month period of $28.4 million, a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $38.9 million and restricted stock and stock option activity totaling $0.9 million. These items were partially offset by the payment of cash dividends totaling $6.2 million.

Borrowings

At December 31, 2023, the Company had outstanding borrowings under the Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP) totaling $80 million. In January 2024, the Company borrowed an additional $25 million under the BTFP and during September 2024 we made a $45 million payment resulting in a balance of $60 million outstanding at September 30, 2024. This borrowing bears interest at the rate of 4.85% and is payable on January 17, 2025. Borrowings under the BTFP can be prepaid without penalty. There were no borrowings under the BTFP at September 30, 2023. Interest expense recognized on the BTFP borrowings for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 totaled $3.7 million.

In addition to the BTFP borrowings, Plumas Bancorp has outstanding borrowings of $15 million with a correspondent bank. This loan matures on January 25, 2035 and can be prepaid at any time. During the initial three years the loan functions as an interest only revolving line of credit. Beginning on year four the loan converts into a term loan requiring semi-annual principal and interest payments and no further advances can be made. This borrowing bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.85% for the first 5 years and then at a floating interest rate linked to WSJ Prime Rate for the remaining eight year term.

Liquidity

The Company manages its liquidity to provide the ability to generate funds to support asset growth, meet deposit withdrawals (both anticipated and unanticipated), fund customers' borrowing needs and satisfy maturity of short-term borrowings. The Company’s liquidity needs are managed using assets or liabilities, or both. On the asset side, in addition to cash and due from banks, the Company maintains an investment portfolio which includes unpledged U.S. Government-sponsored agency securities that are classified as available-for-sale. On the liability side, liquidity needs are managed by offering competitive offering rates on deposit products and the use of established lines of credit.

The Company is a member of the FHLB and can borrow up to $240 million from the FHLB secured by commercial and residential mortgage loans with carrying values totaling $426 million. In addition to its FHLB borrowing line, the Company has unsecured short-term borrowing agreements with two of its correspondent banks in the amounts of $50 million and $20 million. There were no outstanding borrowings from the FHLB or the correspondent banks at September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023.

The Company estimates that it has approximately $456 million in uninsured deposits. Of this amount, $104 million represents deposits that are collateralized such as deposits of states, municipalities and tribal accounts.

Customer deposits are the Company’s primary source of funds. Total deposits decreased by $51 million from $1.40 billion at September 30, 2023 to $1.35 billion at September 30, 2024. Deposits are held in various forms with varying maturities.

The Company’s securities portfolio, Federal funds sold, FHLB advances, and cash and due from banks serve as the primary sources of liquidity, providing adequate funding for loans during periods of high loan demand. During periods of decreased lending, funds obtained from the maturing or sale of investments, loan payments, and new deposits are invested in short-term earning assets, such as cash held at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, Federal funds sold and investment securities, to serve as a source of funding for future loan growth. Management believes that the Company’s available sources of funds, including borrowings, will provide adequate liquidity for its operations in the foreseeable future.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin – Three Months Ended September 30, 2024

Net interest income was $18.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $1.1 million from the same period in 2023. The increase in net interest income includes an increase of $2.8 million in interest income partially offset by an increase of $1.7 million in interest expense.

Interest and fees on loans increased by $1.4 million related to growth in the loan portfolio and an increase in yield on the portfolio. Average loan balances increased by $58 million, while the average yield on these loans increased by 21 basis points from 6.00% during the third quarter of 2023 to 6.21% during the current quarter. The increase in loan yield includes an increase in SBA fixed rate loans which currently yield approximately 8.1% and the repricing of loans that are priced off the 5 year Treasury. These loans are primarily commercial real estate loans and are repriced every five years.

Interest on investment securities increased by $670 thousand related to an increase in yield of 71 basis points to 3.99%. The increase in investment yields is consistent with the increase in market rates and the partial restructuring of the investment portfolio during the first quarter of 2024.

Interest on cash balances increased by $791 thousand related to an increase in average balance of $57 million and an increase in rate earned on these balances of 7 basis points from 5.37% during the three months ended September 30, 2023 to 5.44% during the current quarter. Cash balances primarily relate to cash held at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (FRB). The average rate earned on FRB balances was 5.33% during both the third quarter of 2024 and 2023.

Interest expense increased by $1.7 million from $1.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $3.0 million during the current period related to increase in rate paid on interest bearing liabilities and an increase in borrowings. The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities increased from 0.73% during the 2023 quarter to 1.52% in 2024 related mainly to an increase in market interest rates, and an increase in borrowings.

Interest paid on deposits increased by $391 thousand and is broken down by product type as follows: money market accounts - $266 thousand and time deposits - $146 thousand. Related to a decline in average balance of $43 million, interest on savings deposits declined by $21 thousand.

Interest on investment securities increased by $2.0 million related to an increase in yield of 67 basis points to 3.92%. The increase in investment yields is consistent with the increase in market rates and the partial restructuring of the investment portfolio. Average investment securities declined from $469 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $457 million during the current period. Interest on cash balances increased by $712 thousand related to an increase in yield of 54 basis points and an increase in average balance of $8.4 million from $88.8 million during the first nine months of 2023 to $97.2 million in the current period.

Interest expense increased from $2.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $8.3 million during the current period related to an increase in rate paid on interest bearing liabilities and an increase in borrowings. The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities increased from 0.55% during the 2023 period to 1.43% in 2024 related to an increase in borrowings and an increase in market interest rates. The average balance of borrowings increased by $107 million from $10 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $117 million during the current period.

Net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased 6 basis points to 4.76%, up from 4.70% for the same period in 2023.

Non-Interest Income/Expense – Three Months Ended September 30, 2024

Non-interest income decreased by $76 thousand to $2.2 million during the current quarter. Increases of $29 thousand in service charge income, $21 thousand in Federal Home Loan Bank dividends and $6 thousand in other non-interest income were offset by declines in interchange income of $101 thousand, loan servicing fees of $27 thousand and earnings on insurance policies of $4 thousand. Interchange income can fluctuate period to period based on the volume of debit card transactions.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, total non-interest expense increased by $1.4 million from $9.4 million during the third quarter of 2023 to $10.8 million during the current quarter. The largest components of this increase were an increase in salary and benefit expense of $367 thousand, an increase in occupancy and equipment costs of $636 thousand, an increase in professional fees of $117 thousand and an increase in other non-interest expense of $262 thousand. The increase in salary and benefit expense primarily relates to an increase in salary expense and a decrease in the deferral of loan origination costs. Salary expenses increased by $138 thousand, which we attribute primarily to merit and promotional salary increases and an increase in employees. Our full time equivalent employee count has increased from 180 at September 30, 2023 to 189 at September 30, 2024. Deferred loan origination cost declined by $95 thousand from $694 thousand during the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $599 thousand during the current period. The amount of loan origination costs deferred is primarily related to loan volume, both new originations and renewals, during the period. Occupancy and equipment costs increased by $636 thousand related to an increase in rent expense of $705 thousand mostly related to the sales/leaseback transaction completed during the first quarter of 2024. This increase in rent expense was offset by additional income resulting from the partial restructuring of our investment portfolio which also took place during the first quarter of 2024. Other expenses and professional fees include non-recurring expenses totaling $376 thousand during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $565 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 related to a litigation matter. While portions of this matter are still being litigated these amounts represent our best estimate of potential costs to Plumas Bank related to this matter.

Non-Interest Income/Expense – Nine months Ended September 30, 2024

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, non-interest income totaled $6.6 million, a decrease of $1.8 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The largest component of this decrease was a $1.7 million gain on termination of our interest rate swaps during 2023. Related to the sale/leaseback transaction during the first quarter of 2024 and the partial restructuring of our investment portfolio, a $19.9 million gain on sale of buildings was offset by a $19.8 million loss on investment securities.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 non-interest expense increased by $3.9 million to $31.6 million. The largest components of this increase were a $1.1 million increase in salary and benefit expenses, a $1.7 million increase in occupancy and equipment expenses and a $618 thousand increase in other non-interest expenses. The largest increases in salary and benefit expense were $524 thousand in salary expense and $404 thousand in commission expense. These were partially offset by an increase in the deferral of loan origination costs of $297 thousand related to an increase in SBA production. The increase in occupancy and equipment costs relates to a $1.7 million increase in rent expense related to the sales/leaseback transaction. The increase in other non-interest expense includes expenses related to the litigation matter discussed earlier.
