Net interest income for the first quarter of 2021 was $59.5 million, flat linked quarter and a 4% increase year-over-year. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by $3.6 million of Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loan-related income recognized in the first quarter of 2021. The Small Business Administration ("SBA") forgave $75 million of PPP loans in the first quarter of 2021, which drove the accelerated recognition of PPP income.

Net interest margin decreased 7 basis points on a linked quarter basis to 2.45%. The decline was primarily driven by excess cash and investments balances and lower asset yields, partially offset by lower funding costs.

1 Private banking fees includes Other banking fee income and Gain/(loss) on sale of loans, net

Total core fees and income for the first quarter of 2021 were $22.8 million, a 10% decrease linked quarter. The linked quarter decrease was primarily driven by lower swap fee income within Private banking fees and lower Investment management fees in the first quarter of 2021.

Total other income includes a gain of $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2021 related to the revaluation of the BOS receivable.

Total AUM was $17.2 billion as of March 31, 2021, a 1% increase linked quarter. The linked quarter increase was primarily driven by the impact of higher equity market values, partially offset by net outflows.

Total net flows were negative $408 million during the first quarter of 2021, driven by net flows of negative $388 million at DGHM and negative $20 million in the Wealth Management and Trust segment. New business into the Wealth Management & Trust segment was $231 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared to $297 million for the fourth quarter of 2020.

Total noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2021 was $75.9 million, a 31% increase linked quarter and a 25% increase year-over-year. The increase was primarily driven by $10.7 million of transaction costs within Merger costs expense related to the proposed merger with SVB. The linked quarter increase was also driven by seasonal compensation expense for bonuses and payroll taxes, and both the linked quarter and year-over-year increases were also driven by higher Information systems expense from technology initiatives placed in service.

Income Tax Expense

The Company's effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2021 was 36.3%. The effective tax rate is higher primarily due to the expected non-deductibility of certain transaction costs related to the proposed merger with SVB.

Average total loans, excluding PPP (non-GAAP) in the first quarter of 2021 decreased 1% linked quarter and decreased 3% year-over-year.

  • Average Commercial and industrial loans decreased 10% year-over-year driven by lower revolving line usage
  • Average Residential mortgage loans decreased 6% year-over-year, driven by the sale of $72 million of loans late in the third quarter of 2020 and slowed originations throughout 2020
  • Average Commercial real estate loans increased 5% year-over-year, driven by increased loan balances attributable to the debt service reserve program and the conversion of two loans from construction to permanent financing during the fourth quarter of 2020
  • Average PPP loans decreased 6% linked quarter. End-of-period PPP loans increased 12% linked quarter as $130 million of originations late in the quarter were partially offset by the SBA's forgiveness of $75 million of loans early in the first quarter of 2021

The Company recorded a Total provision credit for credit losses of $9.0 million during the first quarter of 2021. The provision release was primarily driven by an improved economic forecast related to the current expected credit losses methodology and a change in the weighting of forecast scenarios used. The Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of Total loans, excluding PPP loans (non-GAAP), was 1.08% in the first quarter of 2021, compared to 1.19% in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Total nonaccrual loans as of March 31, 2021 were $25.8 million, an increase of $1.9 million, or 8%, on a linked quarter basis, primarily driven by one Commercial real estate relationship in New England and one Commercial and industrial relationship in Northern California.

Total criticized and classified loans as of March 31, 2021 were $314.4 million, a decrease of $3.6 million, or 1%, linked quarter. Classified loans increased 24% to $161.9 million in the first quarter of 2021, primarily driven by the downgrade of three Commercial real estate loans in New England and Northern California.

As of March 31, 2021:

  • Residential loans on deferral totaled approximately $20 million, or 2.7% of total residential loans, compared to a peak of approximately $220 million, or 7% of total Residential loans, in the second quarter of 2020. This represents a decrease of 91% from the peak in the second quarter of 2020
  • Commercial and industrial loans on deferral totaled approximately $6 million, or 0.5% of total Commercial and industrial loans, compared to a peak of approximately $125 million, or 13% of total Commercial and industrial loans, in the second quarter of 2020. This represents a decrease of 95% from the peak in the second quarter of 2020
  • Borrowers with loans totaling $1.3 billion that qualified for and accepted the Commercial real estate debt service reserve program remain in the program, representing a total loan balance of approximately $70 million, or 2.7% of total Commercial real estate loans. The twelve month coverage period for debt service reserve balances will elapse in the second quarter of 2021

10 Accruing classified loans include loans that are classified as substandard but are still accruing interest income. Boston Private Bank & Trust Company may classify a loan as substandard where known information about possible credit problems of the related borrowers causes management to have doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present repayment terms and which may result in disclosure of such loans as nonaccrual at some time in the future.
11 At June 30, 2020, the Company had one loan totaling less than $0.1 million that was more than 90 days past due but still on accrual status. This loan originated in the New England region. The Company had no other loans outstanding more than 90 days past due but still on accrual status in comparative periods.
