COASTAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2021 RESULTS

Company Release: April 27, 2021

First Quarter 2021 Highlights:

Everett, WA – Coastal Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: CCB) (the “Company”), the holding company for Coastal Community Bank (the “Bank”), today reported unaudited financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.  Net income for the first quarter of 2021 was $6.0 million, or $0.49 per diluted common share, compared with net income of $4.7 million, or $0.38 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2020, and $2.7 million, or $0.22 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.  

“We are pleased to announce that we are ending the first quarter of 2021 with total assets of $2.03 billion, an increase of $263.2 million compared to December 31, 2020.  Loan and deposit growth was strong, with loans increasing $219.6 million and deposits increasing $250.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021.  Core deposits increased $262.7 million and represent 95.2% of our total deposits.  Additionally, it was recently announced that we received the Raymond James Community Bankers Cup for a second year in a row, which is a huge honor, especially looking at the challenges we faced this past year.

“As a preferred Small Business Administration (“SBA”) lender, we continued to work with the SBA to provide financial assistance to existing and new small business customers via the third round of  PPP loans as provided in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), which opened for applications on January 19, 2021.  Since that time, through March 31, 2021, we have funded $283.6 million, representing 2,368 new and existing customers, in this latest round of PPP loans, consisting of $23.6 million in new PPP applications for first draws and $260.0 million in a second draw for small businesses that previously received PPP funds.  

“We have ambitious goals and are implementing a plan that employs our three-prong strategy for success and growth.  Our community bank, CCBX division, which provides Banking as a Service (“BaaS”) and CCDB division, our digital banking division, each play an integral role in future success of our Company.  Our CCBX division continues to develop and grow, with a total of 21 CCBX relationships as of March 31, 2021, an increase of 14 relationships compared to March 31, 2020.  CCBX generates additional fee and interest income for the Company by providing BaaS enabling broker dealers and digital

financial service providers to offer their clients banking services, including loans.   CCDB, our digital banking division, is our newest division and we look forward to introducing our digital bank accounts later this year or early next year in connection with our previously announced collaboration with Google,” stated Eric Sprink, the President and CEO of the Company and the Bank.

Results of Operations

Net interest income was $17.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $382,000, or 2.3%, from $16.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, and an increase of $6.0 million, or 52.4%, from $11.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.  The increase compared to the prior quarters ended December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020 is largely related to increased interest income resulting from loan growth.  This loan growth included $543.8 million in PPP loans as of March 31, 2021, which contributed $3.2 million in net deferred PPP fees recognized, compared to $2.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $425,000, or 15.3%.  There were no PPP loans as of March 31, 2020, so no deferred fee income was recognized in that quarter.  A total of $283.6 million in PPP loans were generated in the three months ended March 31, 2021 while $105.6 million in PPP loans were forgiven or repaid during the same period.

As of March 31, 2021, $14.3 million in net deferred fees on PPP loans remains to be recognized in interest income along with interest on loans.  Net deferred fees on PPP loans are earned over the life of the loan, as a yield adjustment in interest income.  Forgiveness of principal, early paydowns and payoffs on PPP loans will increase interest income earned in those periods from the recognition of PPP deferred fees. PPP loans in round one and two were originated in 2020, and were predominately two year loans.  PPP loans in round three are being originated in 2021 and are five year loans.   The fees recognized on PPP loans originated in 2021 will be recognized over the longer term until forgiven or paid off.

Our yield on loans receivable was 4.51% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to 4.64% for the three months ended December 31, 2020, and 5.25% for the three months ended March 31, 2020.  The decrease in yield on loans receivable compared to the quarters ended December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020 is largely the result of the lower, 1.0% interest rate that PPP loans earn.   During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we added $283.6 million in new PPP loans.  The decrease in yield on loans receivable compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2020 is attributed to the lower rate that PPP loans earn and the downward repricing of our variable rate loans in the low interest rate environment maintained by the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee, which lowered the Fed funds rate in the first quarter of 2020.  

Non-PPP loan growth was $50.1 million, or 4.2%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2020, which includes CCBX loan growth of $37.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.  The average interest rate on new loans was approximately 2.00%, compared to an average interest rate of approximately 4.26% for the quarter ended December 31, 2020.  The decrease in average interest rate compared to the prior year’s fourth quarter is due to the $283.6 million in 1.0% interest rate PPP loans that were added during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.  During the three months ended March 31, 2021, most of our loan focus was on generating PPP loans.  Interest and fees on loans was $18.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $17.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and $12.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.  The increase in the interest and fees on loans for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to the quarters ended December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively, is due to increased loan balances and recognition of $2.8 million in PPP deferred fees on PPP loans that were forgiven and paid off. Interest income from interest earning deposits with other banks decreased $6,000, and $288,000 from December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively, to $70,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $76,000 and $358,000 the three months ended December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively, as a result of lower interest rates.  

Interest expense was $1.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, a $122,000 decrease from the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and a $713,000 decrease from the quarter ended March 31, 2020.  The interest expense decreased despite an increase in average interest bearing deposits for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 of $47.8 million and $228.1 million, over the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively, as a result of lower interest rates. Interest expense on borrowed funds was $383,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to $407,000 and $202,000 for the quarters ended December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.  The decrease from the quarter ended December 31, 2020 is the result of a decrease in average Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (“PPPLF”) borrowings due to paydowns on PPP loans; the increase from the quarter ended March 31, 2020 was primarily the result of the PPPLF borrowings obtained to provide liquidity to fund the PPP loans.

Net interest margin decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to 3.76%, compared to 3.89% and 4.15% for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.  The net interest margin will likely fluctuate over the near term as round one and two PPP loans originated in 2020 are forgiven and round three PPP loans continue to be originated.  The decrease in net interest margin from the quarters ended December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020 was largely a result of the low interest rate on PPP loans and lower interest rates on all other loans, especially our variable rate loans.  Gross PPP loans averaged $475.9 million in for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, and have a contractual interest rate of 1.0%, and yield approximately 3.69% after considering the amortization of deferred PPP loan fees, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.  Cost of funds decreased five basis points in the quarter ended March 31, 2021 to 0.24%, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and decreased 46 basis points from the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Deposits into noninterest bearing and low interest bearing accounts by new and existing customers contributed to the reduced cost of funds.  In addition, the low Fed Funds rate has decreased market rates paid on deposits.  

During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the average balance of total loans receivable increased by $106.6 million, to $1.64 billion, compared to $1.53 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, as a result of loan growth.  New loans in the first quarter of 2021 had an average interest rate of approximately 2.00%, compared to approximately 4.26% for the quarter ended December 31, 2020.  Non-PPP loans grew by $50.1 million, or 4.2%, during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.  PPP loans totaled $543.8 million as of March 31, 2021, which is an increase of $178.0 million compared to December 31, 2020.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the average balance of total loans receivable increased by $673.5 million, compared to $966.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, due to the aforementioned PPP loans combined with overall growth in the loan portfolio. Non-PPP loans grew by $232.0 million, or 23.1%, from $1.01 billion, when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2020.  Total yield on loans receivable for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was 4.51%, compared to 4.64% for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, and 5.25% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The reduction in yield on loans receivable compared to the quarters ended December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020 was a result of the lower 1.00% rate on PPP loans and the downward repricing of our variable rate loans in the low interest rate environment.  PPP loans reduced the yield on loans receivable* by 27 basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Contractual yield on loans receivable, excluding earned fees* approximated 3.53% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to 3.66% for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, and 5.08% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the average balance of PPP loans was $475.9 million.  These loans bear a contractual rate of 1.0%, which negatively impacted the average contractual yield on loans.  Excluding PPP loans and their related earned  fees and interest, the contractual yield on loans receivable was 4.52%*.  Also contributing to the reduction in contractual yield is the current low-rate environment, which has resulted in lower rates on our variable rate loans and on new and renewing loans.  Although we have rate floors in place for $410.4 million, or 23.0%, in existing loans, the lowered rates may have a corresponding impact on yield on loans receivables and the net interest margin in future periods.

Cost of deposits for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was 0.17%, a decrease of five basis points from 0.22% for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, and a 47 basis point decrease from 0.64% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.  Deposit growth in new and existing noninterest bearing and low interest bearing accounts contributed to the reduced cost of funds in conjunction with rate reductions on deposits.  We continue to gain new customer relationships from the PPP loans originated to noncustomers that move their deposit relationships to the Bank.  Market conditions for deposits continued to be competitive during the quarter ended March 31, 2021; however, we have been able to keep cost of deposit down by increasing low interest bearing and noninterest bearing deposits and permitting high cost deposits run-off when appropriate, such as when we are able to replace them with lower cost core deposits.

Return on average assets (“ROA”) was 1.28% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to 1.04% and 0.96% for the quarters ended December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.  ROA was impacted in the quarters ended December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020 by increased provision for loan losses due to the economic uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic and loan growth. Pre-tax, pre-provision ROA* was 1.69% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to 1.90% for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, and 1.77% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

During the first quarter of 2021, significant focus was placed on helping the small businesses in our communities through the third round of PPP loans.  The current PPP loan program is currently scheduled to end on May 31, 2021.  We will continue to accept and process PPP loans for the duration of the program.  The PPP loans originated in the first and second rounds during 2020 and from the third round originated in 2021 have had a significant impact on our financial statements.  These PPP loans along with any additional PPP loans that fund through the end of the program will continue to impact our results in the future.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2021 we continued to receive forgiveness payments from the SBA.  Throughout this earnings release, we will address the impact, to the extent possible, of these loans including borrowings received through PPPLF to help fund these loans and to aid in liquidity, in addition to earnings and expenses related to these activities.  Any estimated adjusted ratios that exclude the impact of this activity are non-GAAP measures.  For more information about non-GAAP financial measures, please see the end of this earnings release.

The following table shows the Company’s key performance ratios for the periods indicated.  The table also includes ratios that were adjusted by removing the impact of the PPP loans as described above.  The adjusted ratios are non-GAAP measures.  For more information about non-GAAP financial measures, see the end of this earnings release.

Noninterest income was $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2021, an increase of $935,000 from $2.0 million at the fourth quarter of 2020, and an increase of $313,000 from $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2020.  The increase in noninterest income over the quarter ended December 31, 2020 was due to a $213,000 increase in BaaS fees, a $174,000 increase in loan referral fees that are earned when we originate a variable rate loan and arrange for the borrower to enter into an interest rate swap agreement with a third party to fix the interest rate for an extended period, and an increase of $410,000 in other income. The increase in other income was primarily due to the revaluation and write-down of an equity interest of $400,000 recorded in other income in December 2020, which had reduced other income for the quarter ended December 31, 2020.  The $313,000 increase over the quarter ended March 31, 2020 was primarily due to a $369,000 increase in BaaS fees, $140,000 increase in deposit service charges and fees, $130,000 increase in gain on sale of loans, and a $100,000 increase in mortgage broker fees, partially offset by $456,000 decrease in loan referral fees.  

Our CCBX division continues to grow, and consists of 21 relationships, at varying stages, as of March 31, 2021, compared to 15 CCBX relationships at December 31, 2020 and seven CCBX relationships as of March 31, 2020, respectively.  As of March 31, 2021, we had ten active CCBX relationships, five relationships in onboarding/implementation, six signed letters of intent and a solid pipeline of potential new CCBX relationships.  The following table illustrates the activity and growth in CCBX for the periods presented:

Total noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2021 increased to $12.4 million compared to $10.5 million for the preceding quarter and compared to $9.0 million for the first quarter of 2020. Increase in noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2020, was due to a $1.3 million increase in salaries and employee benefits which is related to the hiring in our CCBX and CCDB divisions and additional staff for our ongoing banking growth initiatives and includes bonus expense which was $1.2 million higher compared to $687,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2020, due to incentives paid to employees that have been involved in the production and support of PPP loans during the three months ended March 31, 2021.  The increase in salary expense was offset by an increase in deferred loan costs of $992,000, primarily from originating PPP loans, which is recorded as a salary offset, thereby reducing salary expense, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2020.  Other expenses increased $203,000 in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year’s fourth quarter largely due to an $82,000 increase in software license, maintenance and subscription expenses, which is expected to increase as we invest more in automated processing and as we grow product lines and our CCBX and CCDB divisions, and $41,000 increase in the provision for unfunded commitments.  In addition, in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year’s fourth quarter, legal and professional fees increased $176,000 due to CCBX division expenses and higher costs associated with legal and accounting work related to financial reporting related to our growth.

The increased noninterest expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to the first quarter in 2020 were largely due to a $2.0 million increase in salary expenses related to hiring staff for our CCBX and CCDB divisions, additional staff for our ongoing banking growth initiatives and bonus incentive expense which was $1.4 million higher than the three months ended March 31, 2020, due to incentives paid to employees involved in the production and support of PPP loans originated in the first quarter of 2021.  The increase in salary expense was reduced as a result of an increase in deferred loan costs recorded as salary offsets, primarily from originating PPP loans, which was $1.2 million higher compared to $438,000, thereby lowering salary expense, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2020.  Other expenses increased $441,000 in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2020, largely due to a $213,000 increase in software license, maintenance and subscription expenses and $115,000 increase in the provision for unfunded commitments.  In addition, in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020, legal and professional fees increased $437,000 and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) assessments increased $125,000. The increase in legal and professional expenses is associated with CCBX division expenses and higher costs associated with legal and accounting work related to financial reporting.  The increase in FDIC assessments is primarily the result of a credit issued to the Bank for assessments in the quarter ended March 31, 2020, which reduced the expenses in 2020, combined with an increase in deposits compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

The provision for income taxes was $1.6 million at March 31, 2021, a $340,000 increase compared to $1.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 and a $858,000 increase compared to $714,000 for the first quarter of 2020, both as a result of increased taxable income.  The Company uses a federal statutory tax rate of 21% as a basis for calculating provision for income taxes.

Financial Condition

Total assets increased $263.2 million, or 14.9%, to $2.03 billion at March 31, 2021 compared to $1.77 billion at December 31, 2020.  The primary cause of the increase was $219.6 million in increased loans receivable, which includes $283.6 in new PPP loans, offset by $105.6 million in forgiveness, payoffs or principal paydowns on PPP loans originated in 2020, together with overall growth in the loan portfolio, combined with a $43.3 million increase in interest earning deposits with other banks.  Total assets increased $845.3 million, or 71.4% at March 31, 2021, compared to $1.18 billion at March 31, 2020.  This increase was largely the result of a $761.5 million increase in loans receivable, which includes $543.8 million in PPP loans as of March 31, 2021, combined with a $72.4 million increase in interest earning deposits with other banks.

Total loans receivable increased $219.6 million to $1.77 billion at March 31, 2021, from $1.55 billion at December 31, 2020, and increased $761.5 million from $1.01 billion at March 31, 2020.  The growth in loans receivable over the quarter ended December 31, 2020 was due to a net increase of $178.0 million in PPP loans, which includes $283.6 million in new PPP loans originated during 2021 in the third round of the program net of $105.6 million in forgiveness/payoffs or principal paydowns on PPP loans from the first two rounds of the program.  Also contributing to the increase in loans receivable was non-PPP loan growth of $50.1 million, consisting of CCBX loan growth of $37.4 million, and core banking loan growth, which excludes PPP loans and CCBX loans, of $12.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021.  Total loans receivable is net of $18.3 million in net deferred origination fees, $14.3 million of which is attributed to PPP loans and $11.4 million is attributed it loans originated in the three months ended March 31, 2021.  Deferred fees on PPP loans are earned over the life of the loan, with a maximum maturity of five years for loans originated in 2020 and all PPP loans originated in 2021 have five year maturities.  The increase in loans receivable over the quarter ended March 31, 2020 was due to a $543.8 million increase in PPP loans, and $233.9 million increase in non-PPP loans consisting of $150.1 million increase in commercial real estate loans, $79.8 million in other commercial and industrial loans and $18.6 million in residential real estate loans.

The second round of the PPP loans closed on August 8, 2020, and since that time we have been accepting applications from customers for loan forgiveness on PPP loans originated in 2020.  As of March 31, 2021, we have received $105.6 million in forgiveness payments or principal paydowns.  We expect that the pace of forgiveness will continue throughout 2021 until the loans are forgiven or paid off through maturity.  Forgiveness of principal, early paydowns and payoffs on PPP loans will increase interest income earned in those periods from the recognition of deferred PPP loan fees.  Customers with two-year loans are also able to request that their PPP loan be extended to a five year maturity, which we anticipate to be an option for customers not eligible for forgiveness.

The third round of PPP loans opened to applicants on January 19, 2021.  Once again, we will continue to accept and process applications for both existing and new customers, for the duration of the program which runs through May 30, 2021.  As of March 31, 2021, we have originated loans for $283.6 million, representing 2,368 new and existing customers, in the third round of the PPP program.  

The following table summarizes the loan portfolio at the periods indicated.

Please see Appendix A for additional loan portfolio detail regarding industry concentrations.

Total deposits increased $250.4 million, or 17.6%, to $1.67 billion at March 31, 2021 from $1.42 billion at December 31, 2020.  The increase is largely due to a $262.7 million increase in core deposits, which is the result of expanding and growing

banking relationships with new customers, including deposit relationships from PPP loans made to noncustomers, who moved their banking relationship to the Bank.  Additionally, deposits in our CCBX division increased $70.4 million, from $68.7 million at December 31, 2020, to $139.1 million at March 31, 2021.  The deposits from our CCBX division are included in noninterest bearing, NOW and money market and brokered deposit totals.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, noninterest bearing deposits increased $176.4 million, or 29.8%, to $768.7 million from $592.3 million at December 31, 2020.  Included in the increase in noninterest bearing deposits is an increase in CCBX division deposits of $79.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.  In the first quarter of 2021 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2020, NOW and money market accounts increased $69.9 million, and savings accounts increased $16.3 million, or 21.0%.  BaaS-brokered deposits decreased $7.9 million, or 23.5%, and time deposits decreased $4.4 million, or 7.3%.  Total deposits increased $666.7 million, or 66.3%, to $1.67 billion at March 31, 2021 compared to $1.01 billion at March 31, 2020.  Noninterest bearing deposits increased $423.2 million, or 122.5%, to $768.7 million at March 31, 2021 from $345.5 million at March 31, 2020.  NOW and money market accounts increased $236.2 million, or 48.0%, to $728.2 million at March 31, 2021, and savings accounts increased $39.1 million, or 71.2% and BaaS-brokered deposits increased $1.7 million, or 7.1% while time deposits decreased $33.5 million, or 37.7%.  Efforts to retain and grow core deposits are evidenced by the high ratios in these categories when compared to total deposits.  

The following table summarizes the deposit portfolio at the periods indicated.

To support and promote the effectiveness of the SBA PPP loan program, the Federal Reserve is supplying liquidity to participating financial institutions through non-recourse term financing secured by PPP loans to small businesses. The PPPLF extends low cost borrowings at a 0.35% interest rate, to eligible financial institutions that originate PPP loans, taking the loans as collateral at face value. Borrowings are required to be paid down as the pledged PPP loans are paid down.  As of March 31, 2021, there was $158.5 million in outstanding PPPLF advances and pledged PPP loans, compared to $153.7 million at December 31, 2020.  The PPPLF program is currently available for new borrowings until June 30, 2021.

The Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) allows us to borrow against our line of credit, which is collateralized by certain loans. As of March 31, 2021, we borrowed a total of $25.0 million in FHLB term advances.  This includes a $10.0 million advance with a remaining term of 2.0 years and $15.0 million advance with a remaining term of 4.0 years.  These advances provide an alternative and stable source of funding for loan demand.  Although there are no immediate plans to borrow additional funds, additional FHLB borrowing capacity of $76.0 million was available under this arrangement as of March 31, 2021.

Total shareholders’ equity increased $6.5 million since December 31, 2020.  The increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily due to $6.0 million in net earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2021.  

Capital Ratios

The Company and the Bank remain well capitalized at March 31, 2021, as summarized in the following table.

Asset Quality

The allowance for loan losses was $19.6 million and 1.11% of loans receivable at March 31, 2021 compared to $19.3 million and 1.25% at December 31, 2020 and $12.9 million and 1.29% at March 31, 2020.  At March 31, 2021, there was $543.8 million in PPP loans, which are 100% guaranteed by the SBA.  Excluding PPP loans, the allowance for loan losses to loans receivable* would be 1.59% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.  Provision for loan losses totaled $357,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, $2.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, and $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Net charge-offs totaled $9,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to $384,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and $123,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Net charge-offs for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 included a net charge-off of $9,000 for a non-performing commercial and industrial loan.

The Company’s increased provision for loan losses during the quarters ended December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, is related to an increase in qualitative factors related to the economic uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and loan growth. The qualitative and economic factors used in management’s analysis of the provision for loan losses indicated an increased provision was not required for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.  The expected loan losses have not materialized as originally anticipated in 2020, as evidenced by the low level of charge-offs and nonperforming loans.  The economic environment is continuously changing and has shown signs of improvement, with United States implementing $1.9 trillion in stimulus package, ongoing vaccination of its population and increased re-opening of business activities. The Company is not required to implement the provisions of the Current Expected Credit Loss accounting standard until January 1, 2023 and will continue to account for the allowance for credit losses under the incurred loss model.  

At March 31, 2021, our nonperforming assets were $661,000, or 0.03% of total assets, compared to $712,000, or 0.04%, of total assets at December 31, 2020, and $763,000, or 0.06%, of total assets at March 31, 2020.  Nonperforming assets decreased $51,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2020, with a partial charge-off of one loan ($9,000), the addition of one loan ($133,000) and principal paydowns and pay-offs on other loans.

Management is continuing to actively monitor the loan portfolio to identify borrowers experiencing difficulties with repayment and are proactively working with them to reduce potential losses through the prudent use of PPP loans, deferrals, and modifications in accordance with regulatory guidelines.  There were no repossessed assets or other real estate owned at March 31, 2021.  Our nonperforming loans to loans receivable ratio was 0.04% at March 31, 2021, compared to 0.05% at December 31, 2020, and 0.08% at March 31, 2020.  

For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we have not seen a significant change in our credit quality metrics, as demonstrated by the low level of charge-offs and nonperforming loans.  The long-term economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, political gridlock, and trade issues is unknown; however, the Company remains diligent in its efforts to communicate and proactively work with borrowers to help mitigate potential credit deterioration.  

Pursuant to federal guidance, the Company deferred and/or modified payments on loans to assist customers financially during the COVID-19 pandemic and economic shutdown. A total of $241.6 million in loans were deferred and/or modified under this guidance since the guidelines were issued.  For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, three loans, or $13.3 million

remained on deferred and/or modified status.  The purpose of this program is to provide cash flow relief for small business customers as they navigate through the uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The Company’s deferral program has been successful as evidenced by customers’ ability to migrate from deferral to active status and resume making payments as planned.  

The table below illustrates the status of all loans that were deferred and/or modified under this guidance since the guidelines were issued:

The following table details the Company’s nonperforming assets for the periods indicated.
