Guaranty Bancshares Q1 2021 Earnings Report
Reported strong financial results for the first quarter of 2021, driven by PPP loan activity and a rebounding Texas economy.
Key Takeaways
Guaranty Bancshares reported a strong first quarter with net income of $11.0 million, up from $6.3 million in the same quarter of 2020. The increase was partly due to PPP loan forgiveness and origination fees, decreases in interest expense, and decreases in non-interest expense.
Net earnings for the quarter were $11.0 million, up from $9.9 million for the immediately prior quarter and up from $6.3 million for the same quarter of 2020.
The fully tax-equivalent (“FTE”) net interest margin was 3.85% for the first quarter of 2021, compared to 3.85% in the preceding quarter and 3.87% in the first quarter of 2020.
Non-performing assets as a percentage of total loans were 0.19% at March 31, 2021, compared to 0.70% at December 31, 2020 and 1.00% at March 31, 2020.
The Bank continued participation in the PPP2 program during the first quarter and as of March 31, 2021, has issued $84.5 million of PPP2 loans to 932 borrowers, which resulted in $1.8 million in net origination fees recognized by the Bank.
