Today, First Community Corporation (Nasdaq: FCCO), the holding company for First Community Bank, reported net income for the fourth quarter and year end of 2020. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $3.436 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.46 compared to $2.697 million and $0.36 in the fourth quarter of 2019 and $2.652 million and $0.35 in the third quarter of 2020, an increase in net income of 27.4% and 29.6%, respectively. Pre-tax pre-provision earnings (PTPPE) in the fourth quarter of 2020 were $4.640 million compared to fourth quarter of 2019 PTPPE of $3.424 million and third quarter 2020 PTPPE of $4.312 million, an increase of 35.5% and 7.6% respectively.
For the year ended December 31, 2020 net income was $10.099 million and diluted earnings per share were $1.35, this compares to $10.971 and $1.45 in 2019. Year-to-date through December 31, 2020 PTPPE were $16.258 million compared to $13.968 million during the year of 2019, an increase of 16.4%. First Community President and CEO Michael Crapps commented, "We are pleased with the performance across all three lines of business during 2020. Income during the year was negatively impacted by higher than normal provision expense, which was increased as we prepared for the potential and unknown impact of the COVID-19 pandemic."
Cash Dividend and Capital
The Board of Directors has approved a cash dividend for the fourth quarter of 2020 of $0.12 per common share. This dividend is payable on February 16, 2021 to shareholders of record of the company's common stock as of February 2, 2021. Mr. Crapps commented, "The entire board is pleased that our performance enables the company to continue its cash dividend for the 76th consecutive quarter."
During the fourth quarter of 2020, no share repurchases were made under the company's existing share repurchase plan that was approved during the third quarter of 2019. The existing repurchase plan provides the company with some flexibility in managing capital going forward.
Each of the regulatory capital ratios for the bank exceed the well capitalized minimum levels currently required by regulatory statute. At December 31, 2020, the bank's regulatory capital ratios (Leverage, Tier I Risk Based and Total Risk Based) were 8.84%, 12.83%, and 13.94%, respectively. This compares to the same ratios as of December 31, 2019 of 9.97%, 13.47%, and 14.26%, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the bank's Common Equity Tier One ratio was 12.83% compared to 13.47% at December 31, 2019. Further, the company's Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets ratio was 8.74% as of December 31, 2020 compared to 9.02% as of December 31, 2019.
Asset Quality
The company's asset quality remains strong. The non-performing assets ratio was 0.50% of total assets at December 31, 2020 compared to 0.32% at December 31, 2019. Non-performing assets were $7.0 million at year-end 2020, an increase from $3.7 million at the end of 2019. This increase was related to one credit relationship which was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. While this is the appropriate recognition of the current status of this credit, there are encouraging signs of ultimate resolution of this matter and based on current appraisals, the loan is well collateralized. The past due ratio for all loans was 0.23% at year-end 2020, an increase from 0.06% at year-end 2019. During the fourth quarter the bank experienced net loan recoveries of $21 thousand, with overall net loan recoveries for the year of 2020 of $142 thousand. The ratio of classified loans plus OREO now stands at 7.04% of total bank regulatory risk-based capital as of December 31, 2020.
Mr. Crapps indicated, "As a way to serve our many local businesses and individuals during the past few challenging months, we proactively offered payment deferrals for up to 90 days to our loan customers." The company reported that at its peak, there were payment deferments on loans totaling approximately $206.9 million (26.9% of the non-PPP loan portfolio). Loans in which payments were being deferred decreased to $16.1 million (2.0% of the non-PPP loan portfolio) at December 31, 2020 and $9.0 million (1.1% of the non-PPP loan portfolio) at January 13, 2021. This is primarily the result of payments being restarted at the conclusion of their payment deferral period.
Even with strong credit quality metrics, due to the uncertainty of future credit losses related to the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on local businesses, the bank recorded $276 thousand in provision expense in the fourth quarter compared to $0 in the fourth quarter of 2019. Year-to-date through December 31, 2020, the bank has recorded $3.663 million in provision expense compared to $139 thousand during 2019. During 2020, the ratio of the Allowance for Loan Loss to total loans has increased from 0.90% as of December 31, 2019 to 1.23% as of December 31, 2020. Mr. Crapps commented, "Our credit metrics continue to indicate the current strong quality of our loan portfolio. This combined with the significant reduction in loans with payments deferred is good news for our company. At the same time, there is much unknown about the continued economic impact of the pandemic; therefore, we continue to prepare our balance sheet and our resources for an uncertain future."
Balance Sheet
Total loans declined slightly by $330 thousand during the fourth quarter due to payoffs and paydowns of PPP loans and a related credit facility. Non-PPP related loan growth continued to show positive momentum with $12.1 million in growth during the fourth quarter, a 6.1% annualized growth rate. For the year of 2020, total loans increase $107.1 million, a 14.5% growth rate. Total loans, excluding PPP loans and a related credit facility, increased $59.7 million during the year, an 8.1% growth rate. Non-PPP related loan production in 2020 was up 28.5% over 2019.
As of December 31, 2020, the bank had $47.4 million in PPP loans and a related credit facility on the balance sheet. Mr. Crapps noted, "As a community bank committed to the success of local businesses, we were pleased to be able to support our customers with access to the PPP funding. We are now in the process of working with our customers through the SBA forgiveness process. We anticipate this process will continue through the first half of 2021 at the same time we begin working on the next round of PPP origination."
Total deposits were $1.189 billion at December 31, 2020 compared to $1.174 billion at September 30, 2020. Pure deposits, which are defined as total deposits less certificates of deposits, increased $22.0 million, to $1.059 billion from $1.037 billion at September 30, 2020, an 8.5% annualized growth rate. The bank had no brokered deposits and no listing services deposits at December 31, 2020. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which are related to customer cash management accounts or business sweep accounts, were $40.9 million at December 31, 2020 compared to $47.1 million at September 30, 2020. Costs of deposits decreased on a linked quarter basis to 0.20% in the fourth quarter from 0.23% in the third quarter of 2020. Cost of funds also decreased on a linked quarter basis to 0.24% in the fourth quarter from 0.27% in the third quarter of the year. Mr. Crapps commented, "A strength of our bank has been and continues to be our low cost deposit base. During 2020, we have continued to grow pure deposits while at the same time working to reduce our cost of deposits."
Revenue
Net Interest Income/Net Interest Margin
Net interest income for the year of 2020 increased 8.7% to $40.0 million compared to $36.8 million for the year of 2019. On a linked quarter basis net interest income increased 4.9% to $10.7 million from $10.2 million in the third quarter. This increase in net interest income was due to an increase in earning assets of $48.3 million and a three basis point increase in net interest margin in the fourth quarter compared to the third quarter of 2020. During the fourth quarter of 2020 both net interest income and net interest margin were impacted by an additional $141 thousand in accretion of net deferred fee income on PPP loans and a three basis points reduction in cost of funds compared to the linked quarter. The net interest margin, on a taxable equivalent basis, was 3.31% for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to 3.28% in the third quarter of the year. Fourth quarter net interest margin, excluding PPP loans, on a tax equivalent basis, was 3.28% compared to 3.29% in the third quarter.
Non-Interest Income
Total non-interest income was $3.604 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared $3.850 million in the third quarter of the year and $2.928 in the fourth quarter of 2019. For 2020 non-interest income, adjusted for non-recurring items including securities gains and losses and non-recurring BOLI income, was $13.4 million, an increase of 15.2% from $11.6 million in 2019.
Revenues in the mortgage line of business increased 30.9% year-over-year to $1.600 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to $1.222 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. On a linked quarter basis, revenue in the mortgage line of business increased $197 thousand, a 14.0% increase. Revenues for the mortgage line of business were $5.557 million for the year of 2020 up 22.0% from mortgage revenue of $4.555 in 2019. Mortgage loan production increased 36.3% year-over-year from $39.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 to $53.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Production in 2020 was $199.3 million, up 42.7% over 2019. The gain-on-sale margin improved during the fourth quarter of 2020 to 3.0% from 2.47% in the third quarter of the year as capacity rebuilds began to mitigate the disruptions in the mortgage market which had negatively impacted the gain on sale margin earlier in the year causing certain loans to not be sold.
Revenue in the investment advisory line of business increased 10.6% on a linked quarter basis from $672 thousand in the third quarter of 2020 to $743 thousand in the fourth quarter. Year-over-year, revenue increased 27.0% from $585 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2019. Notably, assets under management (AUM), ended 2020 at $501.0 million, an increase of 35.5% over AUM at December 31, 2019 of $369.7 million. Mr. Crapps commented, "Our strategy of multiple revenue streams continues to serve us well as we focus our efforts to accelerate growth in these lines of business. We are pleased with the activity and momentum in each of our business units."
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense was relatively flat on a linked quarter basis. Salaries and benefits expense increased during the fourth quarter of 2020, as compared to the third quarter, by $359 thousand which included additional accruals in the amount of $245.4 thousand for incentive plans for performance at higher than planned levels. This increase was offset by a planned decrease in marketing and public relations expenses of $242 thousand in addition to a decrease in occupancy expense of $85 thousand along with smaller decreases in several other expense categories.

Certain financial information presented above is determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures include "Tangible book value per common share," "Tangible common shareholders' equity to tangible assets," "Return on average tangible common equity," "Pre-tax, pre-provision earnings," "Net interest margin excluding PPP Loans," "Net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis excluding PPP Loans," and "Non-PPP Loans," "Tangible book value per common share" is defined as total equity reduced by recorded intangible assets divided by total common shares outstanding. "Tangible common shareholders' equity to tangible assets" is defined as total common equity reduced by recorded intangible assets divided by total assets reduced by recorded intangible assets. "Return on average tangible common equity" is defined as net income on an annualized basis divided by average total equity reduced by average recorded intangible assets. "Pre-tax, pre-provision earnings" is defined as net interest income plus non-interest income, reduced by non-interest expense. "Net interest margin excluding PPP Loans" is defined as annualized net interest income less annualized interest income on PPP Loans divided by average earning assets less the average balance of PPP Loans. "Net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis excluding PPP Loans" is defined as annualized net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis less annualized interest income on PPP Loans divided by average earning assets less the average balance of PPP Loans. "Non-PPP Loans and Related Credit Facility Growth - Dollars" is calculated by taking the difference between two time periods compared for Total Loans less PPP Loans and PPP Related Credit Facility. "Non-PPP Loans and Related Credit Facility – Annualized Growth Rate" is calculated by (i) dividing "Non-PPP Loans and Related Credit Facility Loan Growth - Dollars" by the number of days between the two time periods compared (ii) times the number of days in the year (iii) divided by the prior time period Non-PPP Loans and Related Credit Facility balance. Our management believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful because they enhance the ability of investors and management to evaluate and compare our operating results from period-to-period in a meaningful manner. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the company's results as reported under GAAP.
