MOUNT AIRY, N.C., July 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Surrey Bancorp (the “Company”), (Pink Sheets: SRYB), the holding company for Surrey Bank & Trust (the “Bank”), today reported earnings for the second quarter of 2021.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, net income totaled $1,093,784 or $0.26 per fully diluted share, compared to $971,563 or $0.23 per fully diluted common share earned during the second quarter of 2020.
The increase in earnings results from an increase in the net interest income.
Net interest income increased from $2,877,332 in the second quarter of 2020 to $3,270,663 in the second quarter of 2021. The increase in net interest income is a combination of an increase in interest income and a reduction in interest expense. Interest income increased from $3,174,922 in the second quarter of 2020 to $3,393,790 in the second quarter of 2021. The increase is primarily due to loan fees recognized by the Bank related to the Bank’s participation in the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and a decrease in deferred loan cost associated with the origination of PPP loans in the second quarter of 2020. Interest expense decreased from $297,590 in the second quarter of 2020 to $123,127 in the second quarter of 2021 due to general rate decreases. However, the overall yield on interest earning assets decreased from 3.53 percent to 3.11 percent from the second quarter of 2020 to the second quarter of 2021 due to a change in the earning asset mix. Higher yielding loans made up 74.3 percent of average interest earning assets in the second quarter of 2020 as opposed to 57.1 percent in the second quarter of 2021. Conversely, lower yielding interest bearing deposits in other banks made up 35.5 percent of average interest earning assets in the second quarter of 2021 compared to 23.4 percent in the second quarter of 2020. The cost of funds decreased from 0.36 percent in the second quarter of 2020 to 0.12 percent in 2021.
The provision for loan losses decreased from $260,051 in the second quarter of 2020 to $188,616 in 2021, a $71,435 decrease. This decrease is due to a decrease in loan balances.
Noninterest income decreased from $667,751 in the second quarter of 2020 to $501,064 in 2021, a 24.9 percent decrease. The decrease is due to the reduction of insurance commissions due to the sale of the Bank’s insurance subsidiary, SB&T Insurance, in the first quarter of 2021. Insurance commissions amounted to $180,580 in the second quarter of 2020 with no commission income in the second quarter of 2021. Noninterest expenses increased 6.3 percent from $2,040,969 in the second quarter of 2020, to $2,169,527 in 2021. This increase was primarily due to increases in salaries and benefits and data processing fees.
Loan loss reserves were $5,015,059 or 2.03 percent of total loans as of June 30, 2021. Non-performing assets were 0.64 percent of total assets at June 30, 2021, compared to 0.10 percent on that date in 2020. At June 30, 2021, the allowance for loan loss reserves equals 309 percent of impaired and non-performing assets, net of government guarantees.
Total assets were $469,698,272 as of June 30, 2021, an increase of 16.4 percent from $403,514,398 reported as of June 30, 2020. Total deposits were $403,220,011 at quarter-end 2021, a 16.2 percent increase from the 347,135,297 reported at the end of the second quarter of 2020. Net loans decreased to $242,092,198, or 12.2 percent, compared to $275,656,373, at June 30, 2020.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2021, was $3,081,159 or $0.74 per diluted share, compared to $2,027,575 or $0.49 per diluted share, for the same period in 2020. The increase is primarily due to the gain on the sale of SB&T Insurance in the first quarter of 2021.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This report refers to the overhead efficiency ratio, which is computed by dividing non-interest expense by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income. This is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe provides investors with important information regarding our operational efficiency. Comparison of our efficiency ratio with those of other companies may not be possible, because other companies may calculate the efficiency ratio differently. Such information is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and should not be construed as such. Management believes such financial information is meaningful to the reader in understanding operating performance but cautions that such information not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP. Surrey Bancorp, in referring to its net income, is referring to income under GAAP.
