Loans, net of PPP, grew by 9% or $66 million for the year. The core growth was comprised of primarily commercial real estate loans totaling $57.6 million and C&I loans of $17.6 million, in our markets. We continue to focus on strategic and intentional loan growth and discipline in the pricing of our loans, yielding 4.58% at year-end excluding PPP. The non-interest-bearing deposits grew by $33.5 million or 17%, which was a strong contributor to reducing our cost of funds to 0.40%, a decrease of 44%, from 0.71% at year-end 2020. Our net interest margin remained solid at 3.75% at year end, without PPP, and best in class amongst our peers, with no change in 2021. SBA loan activity has increased during the year, growing fee income by $427 thousand. Centric will continue to focus efforts on further reducing our non-performing assets in 2022. Both tangible book value and earnings per share experienced positive momentum in 2021, with growth rates of 12.4% and 17.29%, respectively. Our team will continue to be laser focused on executing our strategic plan, delivering smart profitable growth and financial results to our shareholders."
Results of Operations – Fourth Quarter
Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 was $3.8 million, or $0.45 per basic and diluted share, an increase of $4.5 million over the third quarter. Compared to fourth quarter 2020 net income increased $1.0 million, or 37%, and $0.12 per basic and diluted share. Pre-tax pre-provision income of $5.4 million increased $239 thousand over the third quarter and increased $1.6 million over fourth quarter 2020 due to higher interest income.
Net interest income for the quarter was $11.0 million, an increase of $611 thousand over the prior quarter. PPP loan servicing fees contributed $2.3 million to interest income in the fourth quarter and $1.6 million in the third quarter. During the quarter Centric sold a $16.6 million pool of PPP loans which contributed $1.2 million of the total PPP income. Compared to fourth quarter 2020 net interest income increased $1.7 million and is due to higher PPP income along with increased interest on CRE lending of $740 thousand. This resulted in an increase to the net interest margin of 83 basis points. The major influences were organic loan growth of $66 million, and a reduction in the cost of funds.
Noninterest income totaled $802 thousand for the fourth quarter, decreasing 9% from the third quarter 2021 and 32% from the fourth quarter 2020. The quarter was impacted by a loss of the sale of PPP loans of $104 thousand and a loss on the sale of equity securities of $93 thousand which were offset somewhat by increased gains on sale of SBA loans by $120 thousand. Compared to fourth quarter 2020 noninterest income declined $379 thousand which is largely the result of gains and losses on investments with fourth quarter 2020 producing a gain of $295 thousand.
Noninterest expense of $6.4 million for the fourth quarter 2021 increased from the third quarter by $294 thousand. This was driven by an increase in loan expenses of $257 thousand and increased SBA mortgage servicing amortization expense of $98 thousand which were offset by a decrease in salaries and benefits expense of $171 thousand.
Compared to fourth quarter 2020, noninterest expenses decreased $268 thousand which was influenced by reduced salaries and benefits expense of $425 thousand due to lower incentive compensation, reduced marketing and advertising expenses by $125 thousand, somewhat offset by increased lending expenses of $210 thousand. Fourth quarter 2020 saw elevated other operating expenses due to the prepayment penalty of $164 thousand on early termination of borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank.
Results of Operations – Year to Date
Year-to-date 2021 net income was $10.3 million, or $1.23 and $1.22 per basic and diluted share, respectively, compared to $1.05 per basic and diluted share for the prior year. Provision for credit loss expense increased $4.5 million year over year.
Net interest income of $42.2 million increased $8.4 million, or 25%, over the prior year. This was driven by a $6.1 million increase in interest and fees on loans, which included an increase in PPP income of $4.5 million and $1.6 million in core lending income. Interest expense on deposits decreased $1.7 million due to the decline of 27 basis points in average cost. Net interest margin ended the year at 4.11%, a 46-basis point improvement from the 3.65% achieved during 2020.
Noninterest income for 2021 totaled $3.6 million, consistent with 2020. Mortgage income increased $203 thousand, from the production and sale of residential mortgage loans. The gain on sale of SBA loans increased $426 thousand over last year excluding the impact of the PPP pool sale. Cash management income increased $146 thousand while the gain on sale of all securities decreased $367 thousand.
Noninterest expense totaled $25.1 million, an increase of 10%, or $2.3 million, over 2020. The Bank's largest noninterest expense is salaries and benefits which rose 6%, or $852 thousand. The limited increase was due to a reduction in incentive expense compared to 2020. Healthcare costs rose $145 thousand year over year. FDIC assessment expense increased $330 thousand based on deposit growth. Loan and collection costs increased $362 thousand. License and software fees increased $232 thousand, with $118 thousand related to PPP activity.
Asset Quality
Year-to-date 2021, provision expense amounted to $7.6 million, an increase of $4.5 million from the $3.1 million expensed in 2020. The increase year over year was related to replenishment of the provision from charge offs recorded in the third quarter. The coverage ratio for the allowance for loan and lease loss is 1.42% of the total loan portfolio, normalizing as the balance of PPP loans has declined to under $40 million. The balance for allowance for loan and lease losses was $12.4 million, an increase of $1.9 million from December 31, 2020. Management believes the allowance for loan and lease losses on December 31, 2021 adequately reflects the inherent risk in the loan portfolio.
On December 31, 2021, nonperforming assets totaled $12.9 million, a decline of $969 thousand from the third quarter. Total nonperforming assets were 1.31% of total assets at year end. The increase in percentage of total assets is the result of the decline in total asset as seen in the table below.

Balance Sheet
At the conclusion of 2021 the bank's balance sheet had declined to $983 million from $1.1 billion at year-end 2020. The decline of PPP through forgiveness and the $16.6 million sale along with growth in core deposits allowed all wholesale funding to be released during the year. The reduction year over year in wholesale funding was $232 million. Borrowings decreased $20 million over the same period. Total assets decreased $128 million from prior quarter-end for the reasons described above. Compared to last quarter, cash and cash equivalents declined $79 million related to the release of wholesale funding which were held in interest bearing demand deposits and certificates of deposit.
Total loans ended the period at $875 million, a decline of $44 million from prior quarter. PPP loan reductions were $42 million. Year over year, core loan growth increased $66 million, or 9%.

Total deposits ended the period at $815 million, down $122 million from the prior quarter driven by a reduction in wholesale deposits. Money market accounts grew by 47%, or $77 million, from the prior year end, while noninterest deposits increased 17%, or $33 million, demonstrating retention and expansion of core deposits.
