Limestone Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: LMST) (“the
Company”), parent company of Limestone Bank (“the Bank”), today
reported unaudited results for the fourth quarter and full year of
2020. Net income available to common shareholders for the fourth
quarter of 2020 was $3.1 million, or $0.42 per basic and diluted
common share, compared with $1.8 million, or $0.24 per basic and
diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2019. Net income for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2020, was $9.0 million, or $1.20
per diluted common share, compared with net income of $10.5
million, or $1.41 per diluted share, for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2019.
“While 2020 will likely be remembered as a challenging year, I
am proud of the work accomplished by the Limestone Bank team,"
stated John T. Taylor, President and CEO. "Fighting the headwinds
of the pandemic, our team adjusted to the COVID environment by
providing support to our communities and customers through
participation in the SBA Paycheck Protection Program and the relief
prescribed in the CARES Act. We did all this while implementing
measures to ensure our personnel were safe and healthy to serve our
customers. The team at Limestone quickly reacted to the falling
interest rate environment, grew earning assets, and continued to
successfully grow our franchise value by onboarding high quality
core deposit relationships. The long-term impact of the pandemic
may not yet be fully known, but we believe we are well-positioned
for the future with a scalable community banking platform as well
as sound credit metrics and reserves.”
Income Taxes - Net income before taxes was $10.6 million
for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared with $11.0 million
for the year ended 2019. Income tax expense was $1.6 million for
2020 compared to $480,000 for 2019. For 2020 and 2019, income tax
expense benefitted from the establishment of a net deferred tax
asset related to a change in Kentucky tax law enacted during 2019.
Income tax expense benefitted $478,000 and $1.6 million for the
years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, or $0.06 per
basic and diluted common share, and $0.21 per basic and diluted
common share, respectively. The new Kentucky income tax went into
effect on January 1, 2021.
Net Interest Income – Net interest income increased to
$10.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $9.9
million for the third quarter of 2020, and $8.9 million for the
fourth quarter of 2019. Average loans increased to $965.3 million
for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $963.5 million for the
third quarter of 2020, and $846.2 million for the fourth quarter of
2019. Average loans for 2020 were positively impacted by the branch
purchase transaction on November 15, 2019, which included $126.8
million in loans at the time of purchase, as well as $42.4 million
of 2020 loan originations under the SBA Paycheck Protection
Program. After forgiveness and paydowns, PPP loans declined to
$20.3 million at December 31, 2020. Net interest margin increased
to 3.53% for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared with 3.27% for
the third quarter of 2020, and 3.23% for the fourth quarter of
2019.
The yield on earning assets increased to 4.12% in the fourth
quarter of 2020, compared to 3.98% in the third quarter of 2020,
and decreased compared to 4.57% in the fourth quarter of 2019. The
yield on earning assets for the third and fourth quarters of 2020
were negatively impacted by lower interest rates on the Bank’s fed
funds, certain floating rate investment securities, and loans with
variable rate repricing features. Loan fee income can meaningfully
impact net interest income, loan yields, and net interest margin.
The amount of loan fee income included in total interest income was
$1.0 million, $387,000, and $218,000 for the quarters ended
December 31, 2020, September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019,
respectively. This represents 33 basis points, 13 basis points, and
eight basis points of yield on earning assets and net interest
margin for the quarters ended December 31, 2020, September 30,
2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively. Loan fee income for the
fourth quarter of 2020 included $767,000 in fees earned on SBA PPP
loans, as compared to $195,000 in the third quarter of 2020.
The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 0.76% for the
fourth quarter of 2020, compared to 0.90% in the third quarter of
2020, and 1.65% in the fourth quarter of 2019. The cost of
interest-bearing liabilities continued to decline primarily based
on the downward repricing of time deposits. Time deposits declined
$30.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2020 as approximately
$84.7 million of time deposits with an average rate of 1.01%
matured or repriced at lower interest rates. During the fourth
quarter of 2020, newly originated or renewed time deposits had an
average rate of 0.33% and a weighted average term of approximately
19 months.
Net interest income increased to $40.6 million for the year
ended December 31, 2020, compared with $35.4 million for 2019.
Average loans increased to $964.1 million for 2020, compared with
$801.8 million for 2019. Average loans were positively impacted by
the branch purchase transaction on November 15, 2019, along with
loan growth during 2019 and 2020, as well as SBA PPP loan
originations as discussed above. Net interest margin decreased to
3.36% for 2020, compared with 3.40% for 2019.
The yield on earning assets decreased to 4.20% for year ended
December 31, 2020, compared to 4.76% for 2019. The amount of loan
fee income included in total interest income was $2.1 million and
$1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and December 31,
2019, respectively. This represents 18 basis points and 11 basis
points of yield on earning assets and net interest margin for 2020
and 2019, respectively. Loan fee income for the year ended December
31, 2020, included $1.1 million in fees earned on SBA PPP loans.
The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 1.05% for 2020,
compared to 1.66% for 2019.
As of December 31, 2020, time deposits comprise $367.6 million
of the Company’s liabilities including $104.9 million with a
current average rate of 0.99%, which reprice or mature in the first
quarter of 2021. The following table denotes contractual time

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses – The allowance
for loan losses to total loans was 1.29% at December 31, 2020,
compared to 1.18% at September 30, 2020, and 0.90% at December 31,
2019. Loans acquired in the November 2019 branch transaction
totaled $85.9 million at December 31, 2020, and $100.3 million at
September 30, 2020. These loans were recorded at fair value as
determined by an independent third party. The remaining discount
associated with the fair value purchase accounting adjustments on
the acquired loans was $288,000 at December 31, 2020, compared to
$301,000 at September 30, 2020. Subsequent deterioration of these
acquired loans, if any, may require an adjustment through the
allowance for loan loss.
A provision of $900,000 and $4.4 million, or $0.09 and $0.46,
per common share after taxes, was recorded in the fourth quarter
and the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to no provision for
loan losses in the fourth quarter and the year ended December 31,
2019. The 2020 loan loss provisions were attributable to the net
loan charge-offs during the year, trends within the portfolio
during the year, and primarily to changes in the economic and
business environment attributable to COVID-19, the state and
national emergencies that have been declared, and the resultant
risk the pandemic poses for business disruptions for the Bank’s
borrowers which may lead to credit quality deterioration. Net loan
charge-offs were $333,000 for 2020, compared to net loan
charge-offs of $504,000 for 2019.
While the Company expects the U.S. Government’s economic
responses to the COVID-19 pandemic through monetary policy and
fiscal stimulus have provided meaningful support to the economy,
management deemed it prudent to increase the allowance for loan
losses through its qualitative environmental factors to account for
the pandemic risk.
COVID-19 Short-term Loan Concessions – The Bank has
elected to account for eligible loan modifications under Section
4013 of the CARES Act. To be an eligible loan under Section 4013 of
the CARES Act, a loan modification must be (1) related to the
coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”); (2) executed on a loan that was
not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019; and (3)
executed between March 1, 2020, and the earlier of (A) 60 days
after the date of termination of the national emergency declared by
the President on March 13, 2020, concerning the COVID-19 outbreak
(the “national emergency”) or (B) January 1, 2022. Eligible loan
modifications are not required to be classified as TDRs and will
not be reported as past due provided they are performing in
accordance with the modified terms. Interest income will continue
to be recognized in accordance with GAAP unless the loan is placed
on nonaccrual status.
Short-term loan modifications totaled $15.3 million as of
December 31, 2020, compared to $64.9 million at September 30, 2020.
The following table details the status of the Bank’s short-term

First Modification Active includes loans within the terms of the
original modification agreement. Subsequent Modification Active
includes loans with a matured original modification that have been
further modified within the short-term parameters. Modification
Ended includes loans that have reached final deferred payment and
have yet to make a payment in accordance with the loan’s original
terms or have yet to request a subsequent modification. Loans that
returned to original contracted terms with a verified payment are
considered cured and are no longer included as modified loans in
the table above.
The table above includes one commercial real estate loan secured
by a retail facility totaling $4.4 million that remains subject to
and is performing in accordance with an interest only short-term
subsequent COVID-19 modification. The loan is graded substandard,
has been evaluated under ASC-310-10, and allocated a specific
reserve of $2.2 million as of December 31, 2020.
Subsequent to December 31, 2020, $8.3 million of the loans
categorized as “Modification Ended” in the table above have
received a verified payment and are now considered cured.
Non-performing Assets – Non-performing assets, which
include loans on nonaccrual, accruing troubled debt restructurings,
loans past due 90 days and still accruing, and other real estate
owned (“OREO”), decreased to $3.9 million, or 0.30%, of total
assets at December 31, 2020, compared with $4.2 million, or 0.32%,
of total assets at September 30, 2020, and $5.2 million, or 0.42%,
of total assets at December 31, 2019.
Non-interest Income and Expense – Non-interest income for
the fourth quarter of 2020 increased $123,000 to $1.8 million,
compared with $1.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. The
increase was primarily related to bank card interchange fees of
$171,000 as a result of the deposit accounts acquired in the branch
transaction on November 15, 2019. Non-interest expense decreased
$448,000, or 5.4%, to $7.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2020,
compared with $8.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. Deposit
account related expense increased by $159,000, occupancy expense
increased by $121,000, and franchise tax expense increased by
$130,000, which were all primarily the result of the branch
acquisition. Non-interest expense for 2019 also included $775,000
of acquisition expenses related to the branch purchase
transaction.
Non-interest income increased $926,000 to $6.8 million for the
year ended December 31, 2020, compared with $5.9 million for year
ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily related to bank
card interchange fees of $938,000 as a result of the deposit
accounts acquired in the branch purchase transaction. Non-interest
expense increased $2.1 million, or 7.1%, to $32.4 million for year
ended December 31, 2020, compared with $30.3 million for the year
ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to an
increase in salaries and employee benefits of $1.5 million and
$666,000 in deposit account related expense. While the Bank added
sales talent and customer facing associates during the latter half
of 2019 and branch staff in connection with the branch purchase
transaction, the Bank realized a reduction in FTEs from 248 at
March 31, 2020, to 219 as of December 31, 2020, through attrition
and workforce reduction. The increase in deposit account related
expense is the result of the deposit accounts acquired in the
branch purchase transaction.
Capital – The Company’s capital ratios were positively
impacted by the additional $8.0 million of subordinated notes
issued during the third quarter, as the subordinated notes meet the
requirements to qualify as Tier 2 capital.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation
Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP financial
measure derived from GAAP based amounts. Tangible book value is
calculated by excluding the balance of intangible assets from
common stockholders’ equity. Tangible book value per common share
is calculated by dividing tangible common equity by common shares
outstanding, as compared to book value per common share, which is
calculated by dividing common stockholders’ equity by common shares
outstanding. Management believes this is consistent with bank
regulatory agency treatment, which excludes tangible assets from
the calculation of risk-based capital.
The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure of expense control
relative to revenue from net interest income and fee income. The
efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing total non-interest
expenses as determined under GAAP by net interest income and total
non-interest income, but excluding from the calculation net gains
on the sale of securities and expenses disclosed from time to time
as non-recurring in nature. Management believes this provides a
reasonable measure of primary banking expenses relative to primary
banking revenue.
