$SRYB Surrey Bancorp Reports First Quarter Net Income of $1,487,503Press Release | 04/26/2022
MOUNT AIRY, N.C., April 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Surrey Bancorp (the “Company”) (Pink Sheets: SRYB), the holding company for Surrey Bank & Trust (the “Bank”), today reported earnings for the first quarter of 2022.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, net income totaled $1,487,503 or $0.36 per fully diluted common share, compared with $1,987,375 or $0.48 per fully diluted common share earned during the first quarter of 2021.
The decrease in earnings primarily results from the 2021 first quarter sale of the Bank’s wholly owned insurance agency, SB&T Insurance. The sale of assets resulted in a noninterest income gain of $858,778 in 2021.
Net interest income decreased 3.6 percent from $3,392,180 in the first quarter of 2021 to $3,271,453 in 2022. The net interest margin decreased from 3.24 percent in the first quarter of 2021 to 2.86 percent in the first quarter of 2022 due to a general decrease in interest rates and a change in earning asset mix. Higher yielding loans made up 60.5 percent of average interest earning assets in the first quarter of 2021 as opposed to 53.3 percent in the first quarter of 2022. Loan yields decreased from 5.50 percent in 2021 to 5.35 percent in 2022. Income from investments increased due to an increase in average investments during the first quarter of 2022. Average investments increased from $167,580,924 during the first quarter of 2021 to $216,384,820 during the first quarter of 2022. Investment interest income increased from $59,880 in the first quarter of 2021 to $99,749 in 2022, a 66.6 percent increase. The cost of funds decreased from 0.16 percent in the first quarter of 2021 to 0.08 in the first quarter of 2022.
The provision recapture for loan losses increased from $70,830 in the first quarter of 2021 to a provision recapture of $662,572 in 2022. The 2022 recapture results from loan charge-off recoveries and a reduction in environmental factors related to the COVID 19 pandemic. Net recoveries in the first quarter of 2022 were $322,155, compared to $11,730 during the first quarter of 2021. The pandemic factors decreased due to reduced cases of the virus and the reduced impact the pandemic is having on the economy.
Noninterest income decreased from $1,420,337 in the first quarter of 2021 to $375,109 during the same period in 2022. The decrease is due to the aforementioned 2021 gain on the sale of SB&T Insurance. Noninterest expenses increased 2.5 percent from $2,329,009 in the first quarter of 2021, to $2,386,031 in 2022. This increase was primarily due to general price increases.
The allowance for loan loss reserves was $4,950,881 or 2.00 percent of total loans as of March 31, 2022. Non-performing assets were 0.55 percent of total assets at March 31, 2022, compared to 0.09 percent on that date in 2021. At March 31, 2022 the allowance equals 355 percent of impaired and non-performing assets, net of government guarantees.
Total assets as of March 31, 2022 were $494,022,235, an increase of 5.2 percent from $469,698,272 reported as of March 31, 2022. Total deposits were $434,188,899 at quarter-end 2022, a 5.1 percent increase from the $413,254,998 reported at the end of the first quarter of 2021. Net loans decreased to $242,854,867 at the end of the first quarter of 2022, compared to $251,443,715, as of March 31, 2021, a 3.4 percent decrease.
