Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. reported net income available to common shareholders of $1.1 million, or $0.10 per basic share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Earnings were impacted by a large provision for loan loss reserves due to COVID-19, partially offset by loan origination fees from the SBA's Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).
Non-performing assets as a percentage of total loans decreased to 0.76% at June 30, 2020.
The bank had a $12.1 million provision for loan losses due to additional qualitative factors under CECL standard derived from COVID-19 impacts.
Net earnings for the quarter were $1.1 million, down from $6.3 million for the immediately prior quarter.
The Bank issued $208.8 million of PPP loans to 1,905 borrowers, resulting in $2.1 million in net origination fees recognized by the Bank and $4.9 million in net deferred origination fees.
Management believes the provisions made in both the first and second quarter, as a result of loan downgrades and qualitative factor adjustments in the CECL model, appropriately capture the current credit risks associated with COVID-19 and do not anticipate provisions at these levels during the second half of 2020 at this time. However, the outbreak could worsen in the short term, leading to possible changes in customer and consumer behavior and stronger response measures by government officials, and the long term economic impacts of COVID-19 are still very much unknown.
