*Article Provided by our friends at Paragon Bank


Memphis, Tenn., August 25, 2020 – Paragon Bank (OTCBB: PGNN.OB) today announced its quarter two results for 2020. This marks another historic quarter for Paragon Bank, making this the highest-earning second quarter in its history. Year-to-date earnings for the first six months of 2020 were 18% higher than the first six months of 2019. “We are excited to share that the first half of 2020 showed our continued success with more record-breaking results despite the difficult operating environment,” said Robert Shaw, chief executive officer at Paragon Bank. “In an extraordinary team effort, we feel Paragon is entering this next cycle in a position of strength.”


Highlights from the second quarter of 2020 include the following:

  • Loans increased by $82 million, or 25%, during the second quarter. The $94 million in PPP loans made during the quarter were the reason for the increase.

  • Total assets increased by $84.9 million, or 21%, during the quarter driven by the increase in PPP loans.

  • As a result of the pandemic, Paragon’s deposits have increased $68 million, or approximately 20%, during the second quarter.

  • Paragon’s capital levels remain strong, with the total risk-based capital, tier-one and leverage ratios of 16.01%, 14.76% and 9.84% respectively.

  • Tangible book value per share increased 20 cents per share during the second quarter from $10.56 to $10.76 as of June 30, 2020.

  • Net interest income for the second quarter of 2020 increased $171 thousand over the first quarter of 2020. However, the net interest margin decreased from 3.41% of the first quarter of 2020 to 3.20% during the second quarter. Without the PPP loans, which yield 1%, the net interest margin for the second quarter would have been 3.28%.

  • Noninterest income decreased $221 thousand from the second quarter of 2019 to the second quarter of 2020. Year-to-date noninterest income has increased by less than 1%.

  • During the second quarter, Paragon’s mortgage team closed the second highest quarterly volume of mortgage loans in the bank’s history. Mortgage banking noninterest increased $251 thousand, or 209%, more than the first quarter of 2020 and $255 thousand, or 220%, more than the second quarter of 2019.

  • For the second quarter, noninterest expense decreased $296 thousand, or 8.6%, from the first quarter of this year and decreased $471 thousand, or 13.1%, from the second quarter of 2019.

  • Nonperforming assets decreased slightly to approximately $694 thousand. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets decreases from .17% to .14%, which is well below the healthy benchmark of 1% and the lowest it has been since the first quarter of 2007.

  • During the second quarter, a $452 thousand provision for loan losses was made compared to $248 thousand made during the second quarter of 2019.

  • Due to the large increase in loans, the ratio of the allowances for loan losses to gross loans decreased from 1.20% at March 31, 2020, to 1.08% at June 30, 2020. Excluding government-guaranteed loans, the allowance for loan losses increased from 1.30% at March 31, 2020, to 1.52% at June 30, 2020. In addition to a positive second quarter of 2020, Paragon remains socially distant during this pandemic.
