For the year ended December 31, 2021, the return on assets was 1.13% and the return on equity was 11.21%.

Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2021 Performance and Operational Highlights

In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company had robust deposit and asset growth, solid earnings, and a continued high level of liquidity. The Company began providing banking services in New Orleans, Louisiana, our newest market, through a combined loan and deposit production office ("LPO/DPO"). The Company also finalized a large private stock repurchase that completed the stock repurchase program announced on August 31, 2021.

The fourth quarter of 2021 began with a declining trend of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in the Louisiana markets served by Red River Bank. However, as a result of the emergence of the Omicron variant in December 2021, the number of cases and hospitalizations increased toward the end of the quarter. Economic activity in Louisiana remained relatively stable, although the economy is still impacted by supply chain disruptions and labor shortages.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $8.5 million, $372,000 higher than the prior quarter, primarily due to higher net interest income, partially offset by higher personnel expenses.
Assets increased $203.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 to $3.22 billion as of December 31, 2021, primarily driven by a $205.8 million increase in deposits. The deposit growth was largely the result of customers maintaining higher deposit balances and the seasonal inflow of funds from public entity customers.
Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $18.8 million, $666,000 higher than the prior quarter. This increase was primarily due to deploying funds into loans and securities.
Personnel expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $8.4 million, $406,000 higher than the prior quarter. This increase was primarily due to adding new staff in connection with our expansion in new and existing markets.
There was $196,000 of nonrecurring gains on sales of properties in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Red River Bank is participating in the Small Business Administration ("SBA") Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"). As of December 31, 2021, PPP loans were $17.6 million, net of $626,000 of deferred income, or 1.0% of loans held for investment ("HFI"). In the fourth quarter of 2021, forgiveness payments on PPP loans resulted in a $28.4 million decrease in PPP loans, net of deferred fees. PPP loan income for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $1.2 million, $155,000 lower than the prior quarter. PPP loan income for 2021 was $5.8 million, compared to $5.6 million for 2020.
As of December 31, 2021, non-PPP loans HFI were $1.67 billion,⁽¹⁾ an increase of $89.7 million, or 5.7%, from September 30, 2021. The growth in non-PPP loans HFI was a result of new loans in New Orleans, our newest market, and increased loan activity in other markets.
Nonperforming assets ("NPA(s)") decreased $1.4 million in the fourth quarter and were $979,000, or 0.03% of assets as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, the allowance for loan losses ("ALL") was $19.2 million, or 1.14% of loans HFI and 1.15%⁽¹⁾ of non-PPP loans HFI (non-GAAP).
We paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per common share.
In the third quarter of 2021, the board of directors renewed a stock repurchase program, authorizing the Company to purchase up to $5.0 million of outstanding shares of common stock between September 1, 2021 and August 31, 2022. In accordance with this stock repurchase program, in the fourth quarter of 2021 we entered into a privately-negotiated stock repurchase agreement and repurchased 96,245 shares of our common stock for $4.9 million. As a result of this transaction, the Company has purchased the full amount authorized by this stock repurchase program.
In the fourth quarter of 2021, as part of our continued Louisiana market expansion plan, we began operations in our newest market, New Orleans, Louisiana. We have hired a New Orleans market president and seven additional New Orleans bankers. On December 6, 2021, we opened an LPO/DPO in downtown New Orleans and began providing banking services in this new market.
In our Acadiana market, renovations have been completed on a new banking center location that we purchased in 2020. This location opened as the first Red River Bank full-service banking center in Lafayette, Louisiana on January 26, 2022. Red River Bank also has an LPO/DPO in the Acadiana market.

Blake Chatelain, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "The fourth quarter of 2021 resulted in robust balance sheet growth, consistent performance, improved asset quality, continued execution of our organic growth plans, and a significant stock buyback transaction.

"Deposits and assets increased significantly in the fourth quarter of 2021 due to customers maintaining higher deposit balances and the seasonal inflow of public entity funds. Loan growth faced headwinds with loan paydowns and payoffs; however, these challenges were offset by lending opportunities in our newer markets and our lenders' calling activity. This activity resulted in a 5.7% increase in non-PPP loans in the fourth quarter of 2021.

"In December 2021, we opened an LPO/DPO in the New Orleans downtown business district, and our bankers are seeing steady activity already. In addition to a team of eight local bankers hired for the New Orleans market, we were pleased to add an additional, experienced commercial lender in our Northshore market.

"In our Acadiana market, we were excited to have opened our first full-service banking center in Lafayette in January 2022.

"As a result of having the stock buyback program, we were able to repurchase a large block of shares in a privately-negotiated transaction. This transaction utilized all of the funds in the existing stock repurchase program. We expect to execute a new stock repurchase program in the first quarter of 2022, subject to board approval and market conditions.

"We are saddened by the loss of our longtime friend and founding director of the Company and the Bank, Barry Hines, who passed away in late December 2021. Barry made tremendous contributions to the Company and the Bank, and his wit, wisdom, counsel, and love of life will be greatly missed.

"As we begin 2022, I want to recognize the Red River Bank team members who made 2021 a successful year. They worked tirelessly through many challenges to take care of our customers and to continue to build a strong, solid, community bank focused on building shareholder value. Also, on behalf of the Red River Bancshares, Inc. board of directors, I want to thank our shareholders for their loyalty, enthusiasm, and support over the years. We look forward to continued success in 2022 and beyond."

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin FTE

Net interest income increased and the net interest margin fully tax equivalent ("FTE") decreased for the fourth quarter of 2021 when compared to the prior quarter. These measures were both impacted by a continued high level of liquidity and the continued low interest rate environment.

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $18.8 million, which was $666,000, or 3.7%, higher than the third quarter of 2021, due to a $633,000 increase in interest and dividend income and a $33,000 decrease in interest expense. The increase in interest and dividend income was primarily due to an increase in non-PPP loan income and an increase in securities income, partially offset by a decrease in PPP loan income. Non-PPP loan income increased $577,000 due to a $69.7 million increase in the average balance of non-PPP loans, partially offset by lower rates on new and renewed non-PPP loans. Securities income increased $192,000 due to a higher average balance of securities resulting from investing short-term liquid assets into securities, partially offset by the impact of lower yields compared to the prior quarter. PPP loan income decreased $155,000 due to a lower average balance of PPP loans outstanding and lower fees recognized to income on PPP loans. Interest expense decreased in the fourth quarter of 2021 as a result of our third quarter adjustment to rates, which impacted new and renewing time deposits, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing transaction deposits.

The net interest margin FTE decreased eight basis points ("bp(s)") to 2.52% for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to 2.60% for the prior quarter. Contributing to this decrease was an increase in the average balance of short-term liquid assets, an 11 bp decrease in the yield on securities, and a three bp decrease in the yield on non-PPP loans. Average short-term liquid assets were $701.0 million, which was $68.7 million, or 10.9%, higher than the prior quarter and 23.4% of average earning assets. In the fourth quarter of 2021, on a stand-alone basis, this level of liquidity had a 73 bp dilutive impact to the net interest margin FTE. The yield on securities decreased because we reallocated funds from short-term liquid assets yielding 0.14% into securities yielding 0.99%, which was a lower yield than the existing portfolio. The net interest margin FTE for the fourth quarter of 2021 benefited from an increase in PPP loan yield and a seven bp decrease in the rate on time deposits as a result of our third quarter adjustment to deposit rates, which impacted new and renewing time deposits.

Average PPP loans outstanding, net of deferred income, for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $29.2 million, which was $34.0 million lower than the prior quarter. During the fourth quarter we received $29.6 million in SBA forgiveness and borrower repayments on PPP loans, compared to $37.7 million in the prior quarter. PPP loans have a 1.0% interest rate, and PPP loan origination fees are recorded to interest income over the loan term, or until the loans are forgiven by the SBA or repaid by the borrower. When PPP loan forgiveness payments or borrower payments are received in full, the remaining portion of origination fees are recorded to income. For the fourth quarter of 2021, PPP loan interest and fees totaled $1.2 million, resulting in a 16.46% yield, compared to $1.4 million in interest and fees and an 8.57% yield for the prior quarter. The decrease in PPP loan income was primarily due to a lower amount of PPP loans forgiven by the SBA in the fourth quarter of 2021 than in the third quarter. The increase in PPP loan yield was primarily due to forgiving loans with higher origination fee percentages in the fourth quarter of 2021 when compared to the prior quarter. As of December 31, 2021, deferred PPP fees were $626,000.

Excluding PPP loan income, net interest income (non-GAAP) for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $17.6 million,⁽¹⁾ which was $821,000, or 4.9%, higher than the third quarter of 2021. Also, with PPP loans excluded for the fourth quarter of 2021, the yield on non-PPP loans (non-GAAP) was 3.90%,⁽¹⁾ and the net interest margin FTE (non-GAAP) was 2.38%⁽¹⁾. For the fourth quarter of 2021, PPP loans had a 23 bp accretive impact to the yield on loans and a 14 bp accretive impact to the net interest margin FTE.

The Federal Open Market Committee is expected to raise the target federal funds rate several times in 2022. Our balance sheet is asset sensitive, and historically, our deposit interest rates have adjusted more slowly than the change in the federal funds rate. As of December 31, 2021, floating rate loans were 15.0% of loans HFI, and floating rate transaction deposits were 4.4% of interest-bearing transaction deposits. Dependent upon balance sheet activity and excluding PPP loans, we expect an increasing rate environment to have a positive effect on our net interest income and net interest margin FTE in 2022.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $150,000, which was consistent with the prior quarter provision. The economic activity in Louisiana remained relatively consistent, and our asset quality metrics improved in both quarters. Provision expense was $1.9 million for 2021, compared to $6.3 million for 2020. The provision for loan losses was higher in 2020 due to economic pressures relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income totaled $5.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of $29,000, or 0.5%, compared to $5.6 million for the previous quarter. The increase was mainly due to gains on sales of properties, partially offset by lower mortgage loan income and reduced income from a Small Business Investment Company ("SBIC") limited partnership of which Red River Bank is a member.

Other income for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $214,000, compared to a net loss of $14,000 for the third quarter of 2021. In the fourth quarter of 2021, other real estate owned ("OREO") properties and a bank property were sold, resulting in a nonrecurring $196,000 net gain on sale. In the third quarter of 2021, a $34,000 valuation reduction was recorded on an OREO property.

Mortgage loan income totaled $1.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, a decrease of $103,000, or 5.8%, compared to $1.8 million for the third quarter of 2021. This decrease was primarily the result of seasonal, reduced mortgage loan demand.

SBIC income for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $38,000, a decrease of $98,000, or 72.1%, from the prior quarter due to lower operating income being distributed by the SBIC.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021 totaled $14.0 million, an increase of $332,000, or 2.4%, compared to $13.7 million for the previous quarter. This increase was mainly due to higher personnel expenses, partially offset by lower loan and deposit expenses and lower technology expenses.

Personnel expenses totaled $8.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, up $406,000, or 5.1%, from the third quarter of 2021. This increase was due to adding new staff in expansion markets in the fourth quarter of 2021, combined with a lower COVID-19 payroll benefit resulting from the expiration of employer credits under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act on September 30, 2021.

Loan and deposit expenses totaled $243,000 for the fourth quarter of 2021, a decrease of $82,000, or 25.2%, from the previous quarter. This decrease was a result of the transition to a new appraisal tracking system in the second quarter of 2021, which temporarily increased loan expenses in the third quarter of 2021. The new, digital appraisal system has improved the efficiency of our appraisal process.

Technology expenses totaled $667,000 for the fourth quarter of 2021, a decrease of $67,000, or 9.1%, from the previous quarter. This decrease was due to $35,000 of nonrecurring expenses in the third quarter of 2021 related to opening a new banking center in Lake Charles, as well as lower communication expenses in the fourth quarter of 2021 resulting from a more favorable contract with a communications service provider.

Asset Overview

As of December 31, 2021, assets totaled $3.22 billion, which was $203.9 million, or 6.8%, higher than $3.02 billion as of September 30, 2021. This increase was primarily due to a $205.8 million increase in deposits in the fourth quarter. Loans HFI increased $61.2 million, or 3.8%, in the fourth quarter of 2021. Because deposit growth exceeded loan growth, excess funds were deployed into securities and interest-bearing deposits in other banks. Securities available-for-sale increased $91.0 million to $659.2 million and were 21.1% of earning assets as of December 31, 2021. Interest-bearing deposits in other banks increased $67.8 million to $761.7 million and were 24.4% of earning assets as of December 31, 2021. The loans HFI to deposits ratio was 57.86% as of December 31, 2021, compared to 59.99% as of September 30, 2021.

Assets excluding PPP loans, net of deferred income (non-GAAP) as of December 31, 2021, totaled $3.21 billion,⁽¹⁾ an increase of $232.3 million, or 7.8%, from $2.97 billion⁽¹⁾ as of September 30, 2021. The non-PPP loans HFI to deposits ratio (non-GAAP) was 57.25%⁽¹⁾ as of December 31, 2021, compared to 58.29%⁽¹⁾ as of September 30, 2021.

Loans

Loans HFI as of December 31, 2021, were $1.68 billion, an increase of $61.2 million, or 3.8%, from September 30, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, non-PPP loans HFI were $1.67 billion,⁽¹⁾ an increase of $89.7 million, or 5.7%, from September 30, 2021, due to new loan activity in New Orleans, our newest market, and increased activity in other markets.

Red River Bank began participating in the SBA PPP in the second quarter of 2020. Through December 31, 2021, we had received $198.6 million in SBA forgiveness and borrower payments on 99.9% of the PPP First Draw loans originated and $40.6 million in SBA forgiveness and borrower payments on 78.7% of the PPP Second Draw loans originated. As of December 31, 2021, PPP loans totaled $17.6 million, net of $626,000 of deferred income, and were 1.0% of loans HFI.

Our health care loans are made up of a diversified portfolio of health care providers. As of December 31, 2021, total health care credits were 8.3% of non-PPP loans HFI (non-GAAP), nursing and residential care loans were 3.6% of non-PPP loans HFI (non-GAAP), and loans to physician and dental practices were 4.6% of non-PPP loans HFI (non-GAAP). The average loan size of health care credits was $295,000.

On March 5, 2021, it was announced that certain U.S. Dollar London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") rates would cease to be published after June 30, 2023. As of December 31, 2021, 3.6% of our non-PPP loans HFI (non-GAAP) were LIBOR-based with a setting that expires June 30, 2023. Alternative rate language is present in each credit agreement with a LIBOR-based rate. We do not anticipate any issues with transitioning each loan to a non-LIBOR-based rate.

Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses

NPAs totaled $979,000 as of December 31, 2021, down $1.4 million, or 59.7%, from September 30, 2021, primarily due to the payoff and charge-off of nonaccrual loans. The ratio of NPAs to total assets improved to 0.03% as of December 31, 2021, from 0.08% as of September 30, 2021.

As of December 31, 2021, the ALL was $19.2 million. The ratio of ALL to loans HFI was 1.14% as of December 31, 2021, and 1.18% as of September 30, 2021. The ratio of ALL to non-PPP loans HFI (non-GAAP) was 1.15%⁽¹⁾ as of December 31, 2021, and 1.22%⁽¹⁾ as of September 30, 2021. The net charge-off ratio was 0.01% for the fourth quarter of 2021 and 0.03% for the third quarter of 2021.

Deposits

Deposits as of December 31, 2021, were $2.91 billion, an increase of $205.8 million, or 7.6%, compared to September 30, 2021. Average deposits for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $2.79 billion, an increase of $188.6 million, or 7.3%, from the prior quarter. This increase was primarily a result of customers maintaining higher deposit balances and the seasonal inflow of funds from public entity customers. Noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $1.15 billion as of December 31, 2021, up $6.0 million, or 0.5%, from September 30, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, noninterest-bearing deposits were 39.50% of total deposits. Interest-bearing deposits totaled $1.76 billion as of December 31, 2021, up $199.8 million, or 12.8%, compared to September 30, 2021.

Stockholders’ Equity

Total stockholders’ equity decreased to $298.2 million as of December 31, 2021, from $298.7 million as of September 30, 2021. The $538,000 decrease in stockholders’ equity during the fourth quarter of 2021 was attributed to the repurchase of 96,245 shares of our common stock for $4.9 million, a $3.7 million, net of tax, market adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income related to securities available-for-sale, and $502,000 in cash dividends, partially offset by $8.5 million of net income, and $63,000 of stock compensation. We paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share on December 16, 2021.

Non-GAAP Disclosure

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. Certain financial measures used by management to evaluate our operating performance are discussed as supplemental non-GAAP performance measures. In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") rules, we classify a financial measure as being a non-GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time in the U.S.

Management and the board of directors review tangible book value per share and tangible common equity to tangible assets, and PPP-adjusted metrics as part of managing operating performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate the non-GAAP financial measures that are discussed may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names. It is important to understand how such other banking organizations calculate and name their financial measures similar to the non-GAAP financial measures discussed by us when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the financial statement tables.
