Century Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:CNBKA) (www.centurybank.com) (“the Company”) today announced net income of $10,770,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, or $1.93 per Class A share diluted, an increase of 11.4% compared to net income of $9,666,000, or $1.74 per Class A share diluted, for the same period a year ago. Total assets increased 14.6% from $6.36 billion at December 31, 2020 to $7.29 billion at March 31, 2021.
The Company's Board of Directors voted a regular quarterly dividend of 18.00 cents ($0.18) per share on the Company's Class A common stock, and 9.00 cents ($0.09) per share on the Company's Class B common stock. The dividends were declared payable May 17, 2021 to shareholders of record on May 3, 2021.
Net interest income totaled $28.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to $25.2 million for the same period in 2020. The 13.4% increase in net interest income for the period is primarily due to a decrease in interest expense as a result of falling interest rates. The net interest margin decreased from 2.11% on a fully tax-equivalent basis for the first quarter of 2020 to 1.80% for the same period in 2021. This was primarily the result of increased margin pressure during the recent decrease in interest rates across the yield curve. The average balances of earning assets increased for 2021 compared to the same period last year, by $1.61 billion or 31.0%, combined with an average yield decrease of 1.03%, resulting in a decrease in interest income of $4.3 million. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased for 2021 compared to the same period last year, by $1.19 billion or 27.9%, combined with an average interest-bearing liabilities interest cost decrease of 0.86%, resulting in a decrease in interest expense of $7.6 million.
The provision for loan losses decreased by $1,625,000 from $1,075,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to a credit of $550,000 for the same period in 2021. The provision for the first quarter of 2020 was primarily as a result of provisions related to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The credit provision for the first quarter of 2021 was primarily attributable to a decline in loan balances exclusive of Payroll Protection Program (PPP) loans and a reduction in specific allocations to the allowance for loan losses.
The Company’s effective tax rate increased from 5.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 to 13.5% for the same period in 2021. This was primarily as a result of an increase in taxable income relative to total income.
At March 31, 2021, total equity was $381.3 million compared to $370.4 million at December 31, 2020. The Company’s equity increased primarily as a result of earnings and a decrease in total accumulated other comprehensive loss, offset somewhat by dividends paid.
The Company’s leverage ratio stood at 6.16% at March 31, 2021, compared to 6.64% at December 31, 2020. The decrease in the leverage ratio was due to an increase in quarterly average assets, offset somewhat by an increase in stockholders’ equity. Book value as of March 31, 2021 was $68.00 per share compared to $66.53 at December 31, 2020.
The Company’s allowance for loan losses was $35.0 million or 1.17% of loans outstanding at March 31, 2021, compared to $35.5 million or 1.18% of loans outstanding at December 31, 2020, and $30.8 million or 1.23% of loans outstanding at March 31, 2020. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans outstanding has decreased from March 31, 2020, primarily from approximately $213 million of qualifying PPP loans that are guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), which require no allowance for loan losses. Nonperforming assets totaled $942,000 at March 31, 2021, compared to $4.0 million at December 31, 2020, and $1.7 million at March 31, 2020.
As of March 31, 2021, the Company had COVID-19 modifications of 8 loans aggregating $36,152,000, primarily consisting of short-term payment deferrals. Of these modifications, $36,152,000, or 100%, were performing in accordance with their modified terms.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) allows companies to delay Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (CECL), including the current expected credit losses methodology for estimating allowances for credit losses. The Company elected to delay FASB ASU 2016-13. This ASU was delayed until the earlier of the date on which the national emergency concerning the COVID–19 outbreak declared by the President on March 15, 2020 terminates or December 31, 2020, with an effective retrospective implementation date of January 1, 2020. On December 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021 was signed into law. The law changed the delayed implementation date to the earlier of the first day of the Company’s fiscal year that begins after the date on which the national emergency terminates or January 1, 2022.
