Net interest income of $3.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 is an increase of $583,000 or 18.0% from the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and a decrease of $31,000 or 0.8% (3.2% annualized) from the quarter ended
December 31, 2020. The quarter-over-quarter decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction in loan fees recognized upon the forgiveness of PPP loans.
CEO John M. Jelavich stated, “We are off to a great start in 2021 and are pleased with our first quarter results. During the quarter, we saw continued strength in our loan pipeline and solid deposit growth. Over the past year, not only have our deposits grown significantly, but our deposit mix also improved which assists in lowering our overall funding costs. During the quarter, we also saw longer term interest rates increase with the improved outlook for the economy. Increasing rates have reduced some of the unrealized gains in our investment securities portfolio from year-end, however longer-term, moderately increasing rates and a sustained positive sloping yield curve should be beneficial for our margins and earnings.”
Jelavich continued, “During the first quarter, we made significant strides in positioning the bank for the future by completing a major core system and online banking upgrade. We believe our investment in technology will serve the Bank and our customers well and I am very proud of our amazing banking team for their tireless efforts in the conversion process.”
“Last, I would like to acknowledge Michael Finn who has done a fantastic job serving as the Bank’s Chief Financial Officer over the last five years. Michael departed the Bank last week to pursue a new angle on his career. With the advance notice Michael gave, we have been able to get a good start on recruitment and hope to announce a new CFO joining the RVCB team soon,” Jelavich concluded.
