THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
The COVID-19 pandemic and actions taken in response to it have negatively impacted the global economy and all financial markets. Since March 31, 2020, these conditions and the related financial impact have continued. Although the Company is not able to estimate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resultant economic circumstances on a long-term basis at this time, the COVID-19 pandemic could materially affect the Company’s financial and operational results. The Company is closely monitoring its loan portfolio for effects related to COVID-19. See Item 1.A. Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, for further discussion.
SUMMARY
The Company’s net income for the first quarter of 2021 was $42.5 million, compared to $22.6 million for the first quarter of 2020. Diluted net income per common share was $1.27 and $0.68 for the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the first quarter of 2021, no provision for credit losses was recorded compared to a provision for credit losses of $19.6 million for the first quarter of 2020; the absence of a provision in the first quarter of 2021 was due to improvements in economic conditions and the outlook for certain economic indicators.
The Company’s net interest income for the first quarter of 2021 increased to $77.2 million, compared to $74.1 million for the first quarter of 2020. Net interest income increased for the first quarter of 2021 due to loan growth, PPP fee income of approximately $9.8 million and the decrease in interest rates paid on deposits. The net interest margin for the quarter was 3.36%, compared to 3.82% a year ago. Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2021 totaled $39.9 million, compared to $35.1 million for the first quarter of 2020. The increase in noninterest income was due to a gain from the sale of the Company’s Hugo, Oklahoma branch of $2.5 million, $2.4 million in rental income from a real estate property foreclosed on in the fourth quarter of 2020, and a $1.2 million increase in income from sales of mortgage loans, which were partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in treasury management income. Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2021 increased to $65.0 million, compared to $61.4 million for the first quarter of 2020 because of $1.4 million of expenses related to such foreclosed property, and a $2.2 million gain on the sale of other real estate owned in the first quarter of 2020 that reduced noninterest expense. The Company’s effective tax rate was 18.5% for the first quarter of 2021 compared to 20.0% for the first quarter of 2020.
At March 31, 2021, the Company’s total assets were $10.5 billion, an increase of $1.3 billion from December 31, 2020. Debt securities of $520.5 million at March 31, 2021 were down $34.7 million from December 31, 2020. Loans totaled $6.4 billion, a decrease of $68.1 million from December 31, 2020 partially due to approximately $21 million of loans that were sold with the Company’s Hugo, Oklahoma branch. Deposits totaled $9.4 billion, an increase of $1.3 billion from the December 31, 2020 total. The increase in assets and deposits were primarily related to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and other government stimulus . At March 31, 2021, the Company had PPP loans held for investment of $713.7 million, net of unamortized processing fees of $23.3 million. The Company’s total stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2021 was $1.1 billion, an increase of $26.8 million over December 31, 2020. Off-balance sweep accounts were $2.2 billion at March 31, 2021 compared to $2.7 billion at December 31, 2020.
Nonaccrual loans represent 0.55% of total loans at March 31, 2021, down from 0.58% at December 31, 2020. Net charge-offs for the quarter were 0.01% of average loans for the first quarter of 2021, compared to 0.02% of average loans for the first quarter of 2020. The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.42% at both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and the allowance for credit losses to nonaccrual loans was 257.20% compared to 243.35% at December 31, 2020.

Net Interest Income
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, net interest income, which is the Company’s principal source of operating revenue, increased $3.1 million or 4.2% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. Net interest income increased for the first quarter of 2021 due to loan growth, PPP fee income of approximately $9.8 million and the decrease in interest rates paid on deposits. Net interest margin is the ratio of taxable-equivalent net interest income to average earning assets for the period. As shown in the preceding table, the Company’s net interest margin for the first quarter of 2021 decreased compared to the first quarter of 2020, primarily due to the lower average rates on loans, federal funds and securities during the quarter.
The Company’s net interest income and net interest margin have been, and the Company currently expects them to continue to be, impacted by the decreases in market interest rates. The expectation is that interest rates will remain at these low levels for some period of time in light of the on-going response in Federal Reserve policy driven by the economic disruption arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Provision for Credit Losses
For the first quarter of 2021, no provision for credit losses was recorded, compared to a provision for credit losses of $19.6 million for the first quarter of 2020. The Company’s lack of provision for the first quarter of 2021 was based on improvements in economic conditions and the Company’s outlook for certain economic indicators. The elevated provision during the first quarter of 2020 was based on the Company’s evaluation of the level of uncertainty and lack of clarity of the timing of an end to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the magnitude of the government’s stimulus response to it. The Company establishes an allowance as an estimate of the expected credit losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. Management believes the allowance for credit losses is appropriate based upon management’s best estimate of expected losses within the existing loan portfolio. Should any of the factors considered by management in evaluating the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses change, the Company’s estimate of expected credit losses could also change, which could affect the amount of future provisions for credit losses. Net loan charge-offs were $506,000 for the first quarter of 2021, compared to net loan charge-offs of $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2020. The rate of net charge-offs to average total loans, as presented in the preceding table, continues to be at a low level.
31
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income, as presented in the preceding table, increased by $4.8 million for first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020. The increase in noninterest income was due to a gain from the sale of the Company’s Hugo, Oklahoma branch of $2.5 million, $2.4 million in rental income from a real estate property foreclosed on in the fourth quarter of 2020, and a $1.2 million increase in income from sales of mortgage loans, which were partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in treasury management income.
Noninterest income included non-sufficient funds fees totaling $5.5 million and $8.3 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This represents 13.8% and 23.5% of the Company’s noninterest income for the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In addition, the Company had debit card interchange fees totaling $10.7 million and $8.2 million during the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This represents 26.7% and 23.3% of the Company’s noninterest income for the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020, government assistance funds that flowed into the market, including PPP loans and stimulus payments to households, increased customer liquidity and higher volume of transactions. This activity resulted in lower non-sufficient funds fees and higher debit card interchange fees.
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was little or no likelihood that the Company would surpass $10 billion in total assets for several years. However, with the CARES Act, including PPP loans, stimulus payments to households, and artificially high household savings rates, our deposits and assets have grown dramatically beyond reasonably foreseeable levels. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic continues and the government response to it continues on the same or similar basis, it is likely the Company will exceed $10 billion in total assets at December 31, 2021. Pursuant to the Durbin Amendment of the Dodd-Frank Act, based on current run rates, this would trigger an approximate reduction of annual pretax income from debit card interchange fees of between $17 to $20 million beginning July 1, 2022.
The Company earned $2.0 million on the sale of loans for first quarter of 2021 compared to $781,000 for first quarter of 2020. The income from sales of loans increased due to the increase in volume of loans originated due to record low mortgage rates.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense, as presented in the preceding table, increased by $3.6 million for first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020. The increase in noninterest expenses was due to $1.4 million of expenses related to a real estate property foreclosed on in the fourth quarter of 2020 and a $2.2 million gain on the sale of other real estate owned in the first quarter of 2020 that reduced noninterest expense.
Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate was 18.5% for the first quarter of 2021, compared to 20.0% for the first quarter of 2020. The effective tax rate was lower for the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020 primarily because of an increase in employee options exercised during the quarter. The reasons for the difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate were tax-exempt income, nondeductible amortization, federal and state tax credits and state tax expense.

(1) Refer to the “Reconciliation of Tangible Book Value per Common Share (non-GAAP)” Table.
(2) Tangible book value per common share is stockholders’ equity less goodwill and intangible assets, net, divided by common shares outstanding. This amount is a non-GAAP financial measure but has been included as it is considered to be a critical metric with which to analyze and evaluate the financial condition and capital strength of the Company. This measure should not be considered a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP.
(3) Government Agencies guarantee approximately $6.6 million of nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2021.
Cash and Interest-Bearing Deposits with Banks
The aggregate of cash and due from banks and interest-bearing deposits with banks increased by $1.4 billion or 89.4% to $3.1 billion, from December 31, 2020 to March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily related to the increase in deposits from PPP and other government stimulus payments.
Securities
At March 31, 2021, total debt securities decreased $34.7 million, or 6.2% compared to December 31, 2020. The size of the Company’s securities portfolio is determined by the Company’s liquidity and asset/liability management. The net unrealized gain on debt securities available for sale, before taxes, was $8.6 million at March 31, 2021, compared to a net unrealized gain of $9.9 million
33
at December 31, 2020 . These unrealized gains are included in the Company’s stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income, net of income t ax , in the amounts of a gain of $ 6.4 million at March 31, 2021 and a gain of $ 7.4 million at December 31, 2020 .
See Note (3) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for disclosures regarding the Company’s Securities.
Loans
At March 31, 2021, total loans decreased $68.1 million or 1.1% compared to December 31, 2020. The decrease in loans was partially due to approximately $21 million of loans that were sold with the Company’s Hugo, Oklahoma branch. At March 31, 2021, the balance of total PPP loans was $713.7 million, net of unamortized processing fees of $23.3 million.
See Note (4) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for disclosures regarding the Company’s loan portfolio segments.
Allowance for Credit Losses
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC 326, which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as CECL. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the allowance for credit losses to total loans represented 1.42% of total loans.
Nonaccrual and Restructured Assets
At March 31, 2021, nonperforming and restructured assets decreased $3.9 million to $78.7 million compared to December 31, 2020. The Company’s level of nonperforming and restructured assets has continued to be relatively low, equating to 0.75% of total assets at March 31, 2021 and 0.90% of total assets at December 31, 2020.
Nonaccrual loans totaled $35.3 million at March 31, 2021, compared to $37.5 million at December 31, 2020. The Company’s nonaccrual loans are primarily commercial and agricultural non-real estate and farmland. Nonaccrual loans negatively impact the Company’s net interest margin. A loan is placed on nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of management, the future collectability of both interest and principal is in serious doubt. Interest income is not recognized until the principal balance is fully collected. However, interest income is recognized on certain of these loans on a cash basis if the full collection of the remaining principal balance is not in doubt. Had nonaccrual loans performed in accordance with their original contractual terms, the Company would have recognized additional interest income of approximately $521,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and $332,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Only a small amount of this interest is expected to be ultimately collected. Approximately $6.6 million of nonaccrual loans were guaranteed by government agencies at March 31, 2021.
Restructured loans totaled $7.8 million at both March 31, 2021 and December 31 2020. The Company charges interest on principal balances outstanding during deferral periods. As a result, the current and future financial effects of the recorded balance of loans considered to be troubled debt restructurings whose terms were modified during the period were not considered to be material.
The classification of a loan as nonperforming does not necessarily indicate that loan principal and interest will ultimately be uncollectible; although, in an economic downturn, the Company’s experience has been that the level of collections decline. The above normal risk associated with nonperforming loans has been considered in the determination of the allowance for credit losses. At March 31, 2021, the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of nonperforming and restructured loans was 187.69%, compared to 182.26%, at December 31, 2020. The level of nonperforming loans and credit losses could rise over time as a result of adverse economic conditions.
Other real estate owned and repossessed assets totaled $30.3 million at March 31, 2021, compared to $32.5 million at December 31, 2020. Other real estate owned consists of properties acquired through foreclosure proceedings or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and premises held for sale. As of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, other real estate owned included a commercial real estate property recorded at approximately $28 million. Other real estate owned and repossessed assets are carried at the lower of the book values of the related loans or fair values based upon appraisals, less estimated costs to sell. Write-downs arising at the time of reclassification of such properties from loans to other real estate owned are charged directly to the allowance for credit losses.

Liquidity and Funding
The Company’s principal source of liquidity and funding is its broad deposit base generated from customer relationships. The availability of deposits is affected by economic conditions, competition with other financial institutions and alternative investments available to customers. Through interest rates paid, service charge levels and services offered, the Company can affect its level of deposits to a limited extent. The level and maturity of funding necessary to support the Company’s lending and investment functions is determined through the Company’s asset/liability management process. The Company currently does not rely heavily on long-term borrowings and does not utilize brokered CDs. The Company maintains federal funds lines of credit with other banks and could also utilize the sale of loans, securities and liquidation of other assets as sources of liquidity and funding.
Deposits
At March 31, 2021, deposits totaled $9.4 billion, an increase of $1.3 billion or 16.2% from the December 31, 2020 total. The increase in deposits was primarily related to deposits of proceeds from the PPP and government stimulus payments. The Company’s core deposits provide it with a stable, low-cost funding source. The Company’s core deposits as a percentage of total deposits were 98.6% at March 31, 2021 and 98.2% at December 31, 2020. Noninterest-bearing deposits to total deposits were 45.6% at March 31, 2021, compared to 47.0% at December 31, 2020.
Short-Term Borrowings
Short-term borrowings, consisting primarily of federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements are another source of funds for the Company. The level of these borrowings is determined by various factors, including customer demand and the Company’s ability to earn a favorable spread on the funds obtained. Short-term borrowings were $3.8 million at March 31, 2021, compared to $1.1 million at December 31, 2020.
Long-Term Borrowings
The Company has a line of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Topeka, Kansas to use for liquidity or to match-fund certain long-term fixed-rate loans. The Company’s assets, including residential first mortgages of $826.6 million, are pledged as collateral for the borrowings under the line of credit. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no advances outstanding under the line of credit from FHLB.
