President's Comments

Andrew J. Ryback, director, president, and chief executive officer of Plumas Bancorp and Plumas Bank, recapped the events and accomplishments of 2024 saying, "Plumas Bancorp ended 2024 with strong performance and continued loan growth, particularly in SBA loan production. The bank received several prestigious awards, including the Raymond James Community Bankers Cup, and listed on the Russell 2000 index. The bank proactively addressed challenges and opportunities by enhancing lending systems, formalizing its treasury management services including through implementation of FedNow Receive, and focusing on low-cost funds and higher-yielding loans, resulting in margin expansion."

Mr. Ryback highlighted the successful branch sale-leaseback transaction saying, "Not only did the sale leaseback optimize the bank's capital structure and offset investment portfolio losses, it also will allow for assessment of the most efficient channels to serve our clients and communities. The increased yield on restructured securities further strengthened the bank's financial performance."

"Looking ahead, Plumas Bancorp anticipates improved loan demand and deposit stabilization driven by projected Federal Reserve rate cuts. As we close in on our 45^th year of banking, we would like to thank our clients, communities, employees, and investors for their continued support which empowers Plumas Bank to be Here. FOR GOOD.," Mr. Ryback concluded.

Loans, Deposits, Investments and Cash

Gross loans increased by approximately $57 million, or 6%, from $959 million at December 31, 2023, to $1.0 billion at December 31, 2024. Increases in loans included $102 million in commercial real estate loans and $3 million in commercial loans. These items were partially offset by decreases of $33 million in auto loans, $11 million in agricultural loans and $4 million in construction loans.

On December 31, 2024, approximately 77% of the Company's loan portfolio was comprised of variable rate loans. The rates of interest charged on variable rate loans are set at specific increments in relation to the Company's lending rate or other indexes such as the published prime interest rate or U.S. Treasury rates and vary with changes in these indexes. The frequency at which variable rate loans are repriced can vary from one day to several years. Most of our commercial real estate portfolio reprices every five years. Approximately 76% of the variable rate loans are indexed to the five year T-Bill rate and reprice every five years. Loans indexed to the prime interest rate were approximately 21% of the Company's variable rate loan portfolio and 16% of the total loan portfolio; these loans reprice within one day to three months of a change in the prime rate.

Total deposits increased by approximately $37 million from $1.3 billion at December 31, 2023 to $1.4 billion at December 31, 2024. The increase in deposits includes increases of $7 million in demand deposits, $53 million in money market accounts and $2 million in time deposits. Partially offsetting these increases was a $25 million decrease in savings deposits. At December 31, 2024, 51% of the Company's deposits were in the form of non-interest-bearing demand deposits. The Company has no brokered deposits.

Total investment securities decreased by $51 million from $489 million at December 31, 2023, to $438 million at December 31, 2024. This decline includes $38 million in payments received on paydowns of our mortgage backed securities and $9 million in redemptions. The Bank's investment security portfolio consists of debt securities issued by US Government agencies, US Government sponsored agencies and municipalities. All investment securities are classified as available for sale. The unrealized loss on investment securities decreased from $46 million at December 31, 2023 to $36 million at December 31, 2024. Cash and due from banks decreased by $4 million from $86 million at December 31, 2023, to $82 million at December 31, 2024.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming assets (which are comprised of nonperforming loans, other real estate owned ("OREO") and repossessed vehicle holdings) were $4.3 million at December 31, 2024 and $5.3 million on December 31, 2023. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets decreased to 0.27% at December 31, 2024 down from 0.33% at December 31, 2023. OREO decreased by $266 thousand from $357 thousand at December 31, 2023 to $91 thousand at December 31, 2024. Nonperforming loans were $4.1 million at December 31, 2024 and $4.8 million at December 31, 2023. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans decreased to 0.40% at December 31, 2024, down from 0.50% at December 31, 2023.

During 2024 we recorded a provision for credit losses of $1.2 million consisting of a provision for credit losses on loans of $1.4 million and a decrease in the reserve for unfunded commitments of $179 thousand. The provision on loans includes growth in the loan portfolio, and net losses during the twelve-month period. This compares to a provision for credit losses of $2.8 million consisting of a provision for credit losses on loans of $2.6 million and an increase in the reserve for unfunded commitments of $200 thousand during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Net charge-offs, mostly related to our auto loan portfolio, totaled $1,046 thousand and $954 thousand during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The allowance for credit losses totaled $13.2 million at December 31, 2024 and $12.9 million at December 31, 2023.

Borrowings

The Federal Reserve Board, on March 12, 2023, announced the creation of the Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP). At December 31, 2023, the Company had outstanding borrowings under the BTFP totaling $80 million. In January 2024, the Company borrowed an additional $25 million under the BTFP. During September 2024 we made a $45 million payment resulting in a balance of $60 million and in November 2024 we paid off the $60 million balance. Interest expense recognized on the BTFP borrowings for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 totaled $4.0 million and $527 thousand, respectively.

On January 25, 2022 the Company entered into a $15 million Term Note with a correspondent bank. Borrowings under the Term Note at December 31, 2024 totaled $15 million. The Term Note bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.85% for the first 5 years and then at a floating interest rate linked to WSJ Prime Rate for the remaining eight year term. Interest expense recognized on the Term Note for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, totaled $641 thousand and $369 thousand, respectively.

Shareholders' Equity

Shareholders' equity increased by $30.6 million from $147.3 million at December 31, 2023 to $177.9 million at December 31, 2024. The $30.6 million increase was related to net income during 2024, of $28.6 million, a decline in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $7.3 million and stock option and restricted stock activity of $1.0 million partially offset by shareholder dividends of $6.3 million.

Liquidity

The Company manages its liquidity to provide the ability to generate funds to support asset growth, meet deposit withdrawals (both anticipated and unanticipated), fund customers' borrowing needs and satisfy maturity of short-term borrowings. The Company's liquidity needs are managed using assets or liabilities, or both. On the asset side, in addition to cash and due from banks, the Company maintains an investment portfolio which includes unpledged U.S. Government-sponsored agency securities that are classified as available-for-sale. On the liability side, liquidity needs are managed by offering competitive rates on deposit products and the use of established lines of credit.

The Company is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLB) and can borrow up to $248 million from the FHLB secured by commercial and residential mortgage loans with carrying values totaling $433 million. The Company is also eligible to borrow at the FRB Discount Window. At December 31, 2024 the Company could borrow up to $116 million at the Discount Window secured by investment securities with a fair value of $120 million. In addition to its FHLB borrowing line and the Discount Window, the Company has unsecured short-term borrowing agreements with two of its correspondent banks in the amounts of $50 million and $20 million. There were no outstanding borrowings to the FHLB, FRB Discount Window or the correspondent banks at December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023.

Customer deposits are the Company's primary source of funds. Total deposits increased by $37 million from $1.3 billion at December 31, 2023 to $1.4 billion at December 31, 2024. Deposits are held in various forms with varying maturities. The Company estimates that it has approximately $496 million in uninsured deposits which includes uninsured deposits of Plumas Bancorp. Of this amount, $128 million represents deposits that are collateralized such as deposits of states, municipalities and tribal accounts.

The Company's securities portfolio, Discount Window advances, FHLB advances, and cash and due from banks serve as the primary sources of liquidity, providing adequate funding for loans during periods of high loan demand. During periods of decreased lending, funds obtained from the maturing or sale of investments, loan payments, and new deposits are invested in short-term earning assets, such as cash held at the FRB and investment securities, to serve as a source of funding for future loan growth. Management believes that the Company's available sources of funds, including borrowings, will provide adequate liquidity for its operations in the foreseeable future.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Three months ended December 31, 2024

Net interest income was $19.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $1.3 million from the same period in 2023. The increase in net interest income includes an increase of $1.7 million in interest income partially offset by an increase of $444 thousand in interest expense.

Interest and fees on loans increased by $1.2 million related to growth in the loan portfolio and an increase in yield on the portfolio. Average loan balances increased by $53 million, while the average yield on these loans increased by 15 basis points from 6.07% during the fourth quarter of 2023 to 6.22% during the current quarter. The increase in loan yield includes an increase in SBA fixed rate loans which totaled $70 million at December 31, 2024 at a weighted average rate of 8.3%, a decline in lower yielding auto loans and the repricing of loans that are priced off the 5 year Treasury. These loans are primarily commercial real estate loans and are repriced every five years.

Interest on investment securities increased by $668 thousand mostly related to an increase in yield of 56 basis points to 3.97%. The increase in investment yields is consistent with the increase in market rates and the partial restructuring of the investment portfolio during the first quarter of 2024. Average investment securities increased slightly from $442 million during the three months ended December 31, 2023 to $448 million during the current quarter. Interest on cash balances decreased by $106 thousand related to a decrease in rate earned on these balances of 50 basis points from 5.39% during the three months ended December 31, 2023 to 4.89% during the current quarter. Cash balances primarily relate to cash held at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (FRB). The average rate credited by the FRB on reserve balances was 4.72% during the fourth quarter of 2024 and 5.40% during the fourth quarter of 2023.

Interest expense increased by $444 thousand from $1.9 million during the three months ended December 31, 2023 to $2.3 million during the current period related to an increase in rate paid on interest bearing deposits partially offset by a decrease in average borrowings. The average rate paid on interest bearing deposits increased from 0.73% during the 2023 quarter to 1.10% in 2024 related mainly to an increase in average money market rates. Included in money market accounts are several large accounts of public entities. We have offered a higher rate to the larger public entity accounts which has resulted in an increase in balance and average rate earned on money market accounts.

Mostly related to a decrease in average borrowings outstanding from $50 million during the three months ended December 31, 2023 to $40 million during the current quarter, interest incurred on borrowings decreased by $175 thousand from $641 thousand during the three months ended December 31, 2023 to $466 thousand during the three months ended December 31, 2024.

Net interest margin for the three months ended December 31, 2024 increased 16 basis points to 4.90%, up from 4.74% for the same period in 2023.

The increase in net interest income includes an increase of $9.7 million in interest income partially offset by an increase of $5.8 million in interest expense.

The average balance of loans during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 was $989 million, an increase of $55 million from $934 million during 2023. The average yield on loans increased by 32 basis points from 5.89% during 2023 to 6.21% during 2024.

Interest on investment securities increased by $2.7 million related to an increase in yield of 64 basis points to 3.93%. The increase in investment yields is consistent with the increase in market rates and the partial restructuring of the investment portfolio. Average investment securities declined from $462 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 to $455 million during the current period. Interest on cash balances increased by $606 thousand related to an increase in yield of 31 basis points and an increase in average balance of $6.2 million from $86.9 million during 2023 to $93.1 million during 2024.

Interest expense increased from $4.8 million during 2023 to $10.6 million during the current period related mostly to an increase in rate paid on interest bearing liabilities and an increase in average borrowings. The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities increased from 0.67% during the 2023 period to 1.39% in 2024 related to an increase in borrowings and an increase in market interest rates. Interest incurred on borrowings, including junior subordinated debentures in 2023, totaled $4.7 million and $1.0 million during 2024 and 2023, respectively. The average balance of borrowings increased by $78 million from $20 million during 2023 to $98 million during 2024.

Interest paid on deposits increased by $2.2 million; this increase is broken down by product type as follows: money market accounts - $1.1 million and time deposits - $1.2 million. Related to a decline in average balance of $51 million, interest on savings deposits declined by $90 thousand. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits increased from 0.55% during 2023 to 0.92% during the current period. Rates paid on money market accounts and time deposits increased by 49 basis points and 75 basis points, respectively. This is consistent with market conditions and an increase in higher rate public entity money market accounts.

Net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased 8 basis points to 4.79%, up from 4.71% during 2023.

Non-Interest Income/Expense

During the three months ended December 31, 2024, total non-interest expense increased by $890 thousand from $9.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2023 to $10.7 million during the current quarter.

Year ended December 31, 2024

During the year ended December 31, 2024, non-interest income totaled $8.8 million, a decrease of $1.9 million from the year ended December 31, 2023.
