| · | The Company’s consolidated leverage ratio of 9.15%, total risk-based capital ratio of 24.61% and common equity tier one ratio of 20.09% continue to exceed minimum regulatory capital requirements |

| · | Total loans held for investment of $2.4 billion |
| · | Total loan originations of $45.7 million |
| · | Nonperforming loans and troubled debt restructurings were $77.8 million (or 3.30% of total loans held for investment) compared to $91.2 million (or 3.71% of total loans held for investment) at March 31, 2021 |
The Company reported net income of $2.6 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to net income of $2.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
“Sterling’s second quarter results include several prominent moving parts. Included in this quarter are significant costs for the core IT system conversion scheduled for August and continued professional costs related to the various investigations. In addition, we repurchased approximately $80 million of previously sold Advantage Loan Program loans and have committed to the repurchase of another $100 million Advantage Loan Program loans over the course of the next several quarters. We have also been able to allow the excess liquidity that we have carried to decline as better definition on the level and timing of the loan repurchases have been identified,” said Thomas M. O’Brien, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer.
Balance Sheet
Total Assets – Total assets of $3.4 billion at June 30, 2021 reflected a decrease of $278.5 million, or 8%, from $3.7 billion at March 31, 2021.
Liquid assets, comprising cash and due from banks and investment securities, decreased $162.5 million, or 14%, to $970.5 million compared to $1.1 billion at March 31, 2021.
Total loans held for investment of $2.4 billion at June 30, 2021 reflected a decline of $102.9 million, or 4%, from $2.5 billion at March 31, 2021. Loan repayments outpaced loan production for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The impact of the excess loan repayments was partially offset by the repurchase of Advantage Loan Program loans totaling $79.8 million, pursuant to previously disclosed offers to repurchase 100% of previously sold Advantage Loan Program loans from third-party investors. Such repurchases of Advantage Loan Program loans in 2021 totaled $167.8 million. The repurchased Advantage Loan Program loans were evaluated and considered to be performing at the acquisition date. Cash utilized in the repurchases helped reduce our excess liquidity position.
Total Deposits – Total deposits of $2.6 billion at June 30, 2021 reflected a decrease of $278.9 million, or 10%, compared to $2.9 billion at March 31, 2021. Money market, savings and NOW deposits of $1.3 billion at June 30, 2021 reflected an increase of $17.4 million, or 1%, compared to $1.3 billion as of March 31, 2021. Time deposits of $1.2 billion at June 30, 2021 reflected a decrease of $286.1 million, or 20%, compared to $1.5 billion as of March 31, 2021. Non-interest bearing deposits of $55.7 million at June 30, 2021 reflected a decrease of $5.6 million, or 9%, compared to $61.3 million as of March 31, 2021. Brokered deposits included in time deposits were $35.0 million at June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021.
“Subsequent to quarter end, we completed the sale of the Bellevue, Washington Branch, which included the transfer of $65.4 million in total deposits at a premium of approximately $1.4 million,” said Mr. O’Brien.
Capital – Total shareholders’ equity was $326.2 million at June 30, 2021 compared to $321.9 million at March 31, 2021. The Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements required to be considered “well-capitalized” as of June 30, 2021, and the Company exceeded all applicable minimum regulatory capital requirements as of such date, as summarized in the following tables:
| Company Capital | Company Minimum Requirements | Company Actual at June 30, 2021 | ||||||
| Total adjusted capital to risk-weighted assets | 8.00 | % | 24.61 | % | ||||
| Tier 1 (core) capital to risk-weighted assets | 6.00 | % | 20.09 | % | ||||

| Tier 1 (core) capital to adjusted tangible assets | 5.00 | % | 10.52 | % | ||||
Asset Quality and Provision for Loan Losses – A recovery for loan losses of $0.6 million was recorded for the second quarter of 2021 compared to a recovery for loan losses of $0.7 million for the immediately prior quarter. The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2021 was $71.9 million, or 3.05% of total loans held for investment, compared to $71.9 million, or 2.92% of total loans held for investment at March 31, 2021. Additionally, the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2020 was $72.4 million, or 2.89% of total loans held for investment.
Net recoveries slightly increased during the second quarter of 2021 to $0.6 million compared to $0.2 million during the first quarter of 2021. Nonperforming residential mortgage loans held for sale decreased from $18.6 million at March 31, 2021 to $14.9 million at June 30, 2021 due to loan payoffs.
Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2021 totaled $92.6 million, or 2.71% of total assets, compared to $110.0 million, or 2.98% of total assets, at March 31, 2021. Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2021 included $74.8 million of nonperforming loans held for investment, $14.9 million of nonaccrual loans held for sale and $3.0 million of troubled debt restructurings. Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2021 included $83.6 million of nonperforming loans held for investment, $18.6 million of nonaccrual loans held for sale and $7.6 million of troubled debt restructurings. Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2020 included $86.5 million of nonperforming loans held for investment, $19.4 million of nonaccrual loans held for sale and $8.2 million of troubled debt restructurings. Total gross loans delinquent 30 days or more were $155.0 million, or 6.5% of total gross loans, at June 30, 2021 which decreased from $163.2 million, or 6.6% of total gross loans, at March 31, 2021 and also decreased from $174.6 million, or 6.9% of total gross loans, at December 31, 2020.
“Credit quality continues to show some signs of improvement over prior periods. We continue to experience the challenges of dealing with lower legacy risk acceptance practices, including the time and energy related to protecting the Bank’s collateral position, in addition to the negative impact from the former Advantage Loan Program. Loans in forbearance have declined to less than $12 million as that program sunsets,” said Mr. O’Brien.
The principal balance of loans modified due to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and still in forbearance declined during the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Subsequent to quarter end, applications for the forbearance program continued to decrease, and the Bank terminated the forbearance program effective July 31, 2021. Total loans in forbearance at June 30, 2021 was $11.8 million, or 0.50% of total loans held for investment, which decreased from $41.9 million, or 1.70% of total loans held for investment, at March 31, 2021.

Results of Operations
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin – Net interest income for the second quarter of 2021 was $23.6 million compared to $23.2 million for the first quarter of 2021 and $27.0 million for the second quarter of 2020. The net interest margin of 2.70% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 increased from the immediately prior quarter’s net interest margin of 2.45% and decreased from the second quarter of 2020 of 3.08%. The increase in net interest income during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to the immediately prior quarter was due primarily to a decline of $283.4 million in the average balance of our interest-bearing deposits from $3.0 billion in the first quarter of 2021 to $2.7 billion in the second quarter of 2021, and a decrease in our average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits from 0.91% in the first quarter of 2021 to 0.78% in the second quarter of 2021.
Net interest margin was positively impacted in the second quarter of 2021 by an increase of 15 basis points in the yield on earning assets with the loan portfolio comprising 68% of average interest earning assets compared to 65% in the first quarter of 2021 and a decrease in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities of 13 basis points, reflecting the impact of the current low interest rate environment.
Non-Interest Income – Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2021 was $(0.3) million compared to $0.5 million for the immediately prior quarter. The decrease from the first quarter of 2021 was primarily attributable to a net servicing loss reflecting the amortization of mortgage servicing rights associated with loans repurchased in the second quarter of 2021, a lower valuation allowance recovery on mortgage servicing rights in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2021 and reduced servicing fee income due to lower volume of loans serviced during the second quarter of 2021. Gain on sale of loans decreased in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the immediately prior quarter due to fewer loans being sold into the secondary market during the second quarter of 2021.
Non-Interest Expense – Non-interest expense of $19.9 million for the second quarter of 2021 reflected a decrease of $1.4 million, or 7%, compared to $21.3 million for the first quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in professional fees of $3.0 million and an additional $0.4 million recovery for mortgage repurchase liability compared to the first quarter of 2021 recovery, which were partially offset by increases in salaries and employee benefits of $0.8 million and in other expense of $1.2 million. The decrease in professional fees was primarily due to the settlement of the class action lawsuit and a reimbursement of $2.4 million that was received from our insurance carriers in the second quarter of 2021, which was partially offset by professional fees incurred in connection with our core IT system conversion. Other expense increased primarily due to a $1.0 million accrual for certain calculation errors from prior periods identified during the preparations for the core IT system conversion.
Mr. O’Brien said, “We continue to believe that some of these significant expenses will begin to decline, albeit slowly, in the second half of this year and into 2022. We have no control over the timing of the various investigations and the professional time that they demand, and consequently the related costs are difficult to predict with any degree of accuracy. We are hopeful that, with respect only to the Bank, the pending completion of several substantial reviews and remediations, as well as the upcoming core IT system conversion, will lead to the closing of several critical projects and their attendant costs.”
Income Tax Expense –The effective tax rate was 35.1% for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 24.6% for the first quarter of 2021. The increase in the effective tax rate reflects adjustments made to the provision calculation in the second quarter of 2021 to account for certain non-deductible expenses. We expect the effective tax rate for the full year to stabilize near 30%.
