Capital City Bank Group reported a net income of $4.3 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for Q1 2020. This includes a $5.0 million provision for credit losses, exceeding net loan charge-offs of $1.1 million, due to COVID-19's economic impact.
Diversified revenue and strong balance sheet buffered impact of COVID-19 and Fed interest rate actions.
Average loans (ex-held for sale) up 0.8% sequentially and 4.2% over 2019.
Loan loss provision of $5.0 million reflected reserve build for COVID-19 impact.
Acquisition of a 51% membership interest in Brand Mortgage Group, LLC (now operated as Capital City Home Loans (“CCHL”)) occurred March 1st – nominal net impact on earnings.
Deposit levels remain strong, and average core deposits grew over last quarter. As a result of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, and our participation in the Paycheck Participation Program (PPP) to support small businesses, the potential exists for our deposit levels to be volatile over the coming quarters due to the government’s distribution of economic impact payments and the funding of PPP loans.
