    Source: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 15 Jul 2021 10:52:09   America/New_York

    SAN RAFAEL, Calif., July 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Westamerica Bancorporation (Nasdaq: WABC), parent company of Westamerica Bank, generated net income for the second quarter 2021 of $22.6 million and diluted earnings per common share ("EPS") of $0.84. Second quarter 2021 results include “make-whole” interest income on corporate bonds redeemed prior to maturity, which increased EPS $0.04. These results compare to net income of $20.1 million and EPS of $0.75 for the first quarter 2021, which included “make-whole” interest income on corporate bonds redeemed before maturity that increased EPS $0.02.

    "Westamerica continued originating loans for our customers under the second round of the Paycheck Protection Program during the second quarter 2021. Average total deposits grew $327 million from the first quarter 2021 to the second quarter 2021. Westamerica’s valuable deposit base generated a very low 0.03 percent annualized cost of funding our loan and bond portfolios during the second quarter 2021. Operating expenses were well managed in the second quarter 2021 declining $615 thousand from the first quarter 2021 and $463 thousand from the second quarter 2020. Credit quality remained stable with nonperforming loans of $4.4 million at June 30, 2021,” said Chairman, President and CEO David Payne. “Second quarter 2021 results generated an annualized 12.2 percent return on average common equity, and shareholders were paid a $0.41 per common share dividend during the quarter,” concluded Payne.

    Net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent (FTE) basis was $44.5 million for the second quarter 2021, including “make-whole” interest income on corporate bonds redeemed prior to maturity of $1.4 million. Second quarter 2021 net interest income (FTE) compares to $42.6 million for the first quarter 2021, which included “make-whole” interest income on corporate bonds redeemed prior to maturity of $700 thousand. Average PPP loans grew $19 million from the first quarter 2021 to the second quarter 2021. Average total deposits grew $327 million from the first quarter 2021 to the second quarter 2021. Checking and savings deposits represented ninety-seven percent of the Company’s average deposit base during the second quarter 2021.

    At June 30, 2021, nonperforming loans totaled $4.4 million and the allowance for credit losses on loans was $23.7 million. The Company continues to work with loan customers requesting loan payment deferrals due to economic weakness caused by the pandemic. At June 30, 2021, loans with deferred payments totaled $586 thousand, all of which were consumer automobile loans.

    Noninterest income for the second quarter 2021 totaled $11.0 million, compared to noninterest income for the first quarter 2021 of $10.2 million. The increase in noninterest income was primarily due to higher levels of merchant processing services fees and debit card fees.

    Noninterest expense for the second quarter 2021 was $24.3 million compared to $24.9 million for the first quarter 2021; the decline in noninterest expense was primarily attributable to the seasonal decline in payroll related taxes.

    Westamerica Bancorporation’s wholly owned subsidiary Westamerica Bank, operates commercial banking and trust offices throughout Northern and Central California.

     Footnotes and Abbreviations:    
          
     (1) Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("CECL"), resulting in a period opening adjustment to the allowance for credit losses for loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, other liabilities, deferred tax assets, and shareholders' equity.
          
     (2) The Company adopted ASU 2016-13, effective January 1, 2020. Debt Securities Held To Maturity of $414,413 thousand at June 30, 2021, $469,259 thousand at March 31, 2021 and $638,281 thousand at June 30, 2020 are net of related reserve for expected credit losses of $9 thousand, $9 thousand and $16 thousand, respectively.
          
     (3) Interest income on Debt Securities Available For Sale included make-whole interest income on called corporate bonds of $1.4 million in the second quarter 2021 and $700 thousand in the first quarter 2021.
          
     (FTE) Fully Taxable Equivalent. The Company presents its net interest margin and net interest income on a FTE basis using the current statutory federal tax rate. Management believes the FTE basis is valuable to the reader because the Company’s loan and investment securities portfolios contain a relatively large portion of municipal loans and securities that are federally tax exempt. The Company’s tax exempt loans and securities composition may not be similar to that of other banks, therefore in order to reflect the impact of the federally tax exempt loans and securities on the net interest margin and net interest income for comparability with other banks, the Company presents its net interest margin and net interest income on a FTE basis.
