Included in total assets as of June 30, 2021 are $391,826,000 of Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans, net of deferred fees, with this total being comprised of (i) $317,428,000 of PPP 2021 loans, net of deferred fees, originated during the first two quarters of 2021; and (ii) $74,398,000 of PPP 2020 loans, net of deferred fees, originated during 2020 which, as of June 30, 2021, were still outstanding.  Comparatively, as of December 31, 2020, Mid Penn had $388,313,000 of PPP 2020 loans outstanding, net of deferred fees.  Mid Penn had $14,472,000 of PPP deferred loan processing fees not yet realized as income as of June 30, 2021, consisting of (i) $872,000 of loan processing fees received related to PPP loans funded during the year ended December 31, 2020, and (ii) $13,600,000 of loan processing fees received related to PPP loans funded during the six months ended June 30, 2021.  Comparatively, as of December 31, 2020, Mid Penn had $7,746,000 of PPP deferred loan processing fees not yet realized as income, all resulting from PPP loans funded during the year ended December 31, 2020.  Mid Penn was a significant participating lender under the PPP, which was originally created when the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020, extended by the signing of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 into law on December 27, 2020, and further extended to May 31, 2021 by the PPP Extension Act of 2021.

Total core banking loans (total loans excluding both the PPP loans outstanding, and residential mortgage loans held for sale, a non-GAAP measure), increased by $107,639,000 since year-end 2020 and totaled $2,103,366,000 as of June 30, 2021, representing an annualized growth rate of 11 percent.  Deposit growth since year-end 2020 through June 30, 2021 totaled $307,544,000 representing an annualized deposit growth rate of over 25 percent, including an increase of $155,792,000 in noninterest-bearing deposits including some remaining proceeds deposited from PPP loan funding.  Also, during the first half of 2021, the Bank obtained $71,272,000 of additional net funding (draws less paydowns) from the Federal Reserve through the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (“PPPLF”), with such funding used to support the PPP 2021 loan production.  Under the PPPLF, the Federal Reserve supplies financing to the Bank at a rate of 35 basis points (0.35%) for a term and amount determined based on the principal amount of PPP loans fully and specifically pledged as collateral in support of the PPPLF borrowings.  Draws of PPPLF funds must be repaid to the Federal Reserve immediately after the specific PPP loans collateralizing the related draws are repaid to the Bank.

Additionally, as previously announced on a Form 8-K on May 4, 2021, Mid Penn completed an underwritten public offering of 2,990,000 shares of common stock at a price of $25.00 per share, with the aggregate gross proceeds of the offering totaling $74,750,000 before underwriting discounts and offering expenses.  The net proceeds of the offering after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses were $70,238,000.  The additional shares issued on May 4, 2021 significantly impacted the weighted average number of shares outstanding used for both the second quarter of 2021 and year-to-date 2021 earnings per share calculations.

PRESIDENT’S STATEMENT

We are very pleased to deliver these strong operating results to both our legacy retail and institutional shareholders and the institutional shareholders we picked up in our recent common equity raise. 

With healthy organic growth on both sides of the balance sheet, strong performance in noninterest income production and great progress in PPP loan forgiveness, we delivered yet another quarter of impressive net earnings which ultimately bolstered our tangible book value per share by $1.71 per share since December 31, 2020. 

During this second quarter, while delivering that performance, we also initiated and completed an impressive follow-on common stock offering and announced our agreement to acquire Riverview Financial Corporation. 

We feel that those three achievements will go a long way toward setting the table for continued strong performance not only throughout the remainder of 2021, but into 2022 and beyond. 

The results of the first six months of 2021 reflect significant progress toward our goal of building the best community bank franchise in PA. 

It is with all of the above in mind that the Board of Directors proudly announces the declaration of a third quarter dividend of $0.20 per common share payable on August 23, 2021 to shareholders of record as of August 10, 2021.
