CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, which reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “would,” and “outlook,” or the negative version of those words, or such other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs, and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions, and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
There are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the following:
•business and economic conditions generally and in the financial services industry, nationally and within our local market areas;
•the impact of COVID-19 on our business, the communities where we have our banking centers, the state of Louisiana, and the United States, related to the economy and overall financial stability;
•government and regulatory responses to the COVID-19 pandemic;
•government intervention in the U.S. financial system, including the effects of recent and future legislative, tax, accounting, and regulatory actions and reforms, including the CARES Act and the Economic Aid Act which established the SBA PPP1 and the PPP2 programs, and other changes in banking, securities, accounting, and tax laws and regulations, and their application by our regulators;
•changes in management personnel;
•increased competition in the financial services industry, particularly from regional and national institutions;
•volatility and direction of market interest rates;
•our ability to maintain important deposit customer relationships, our reputation, and to otherwise avoid liquidity risks;
•factors that can impact the performance of our loan portfolio, including real estate values and liquidity in our primary market areas, the financial health of our commercial borrowers, and the success of construction projects that we finance, including any loans acquired in acquisition transactions;
•changes in the value of collateral securing our loans;
•risks associated with system failures or failures to protect against cybersecurity threats, such as breaches of our network security;
•deterioration of our asset quality;
•the adequacy of our reserves, including our allowance for loan losses;
•operational risks associated with our business;
•natural disasters and adverse weather, acts of terrorism, pandemics, an outbreak of hostilities or other international or domestic calamities, and other matters beyond our control;
•our ability to prudently manage our growth and execute our strategy;
•compliance with the extensive regulatory framework that applies to us;
•uncertainty regarding the future of LIBOR and the impact of any replacement alternatives on our business;
•changes in the laws, rules, regulations, interpretations, or policies relating to financial institution, accounting, tax, trade, monetary, and fiscal matters; and
•other risks and uncertainties listed from time to time in our reports and documents filed with the SEC.
The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with the other cautionary statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Additional information on these and other risk factors can be found in "Part II - Item 1A. Risk Factors" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in "Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what we anticipate. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information, general practices within the financial services industry, and with instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information or footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These changes in presentation did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There were no material changes or developments during the reporting period with respect to methodologies the Company uses when applying critical accounting policies and developing critical accounting estimates as disclosed in Note 1 of the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, that were included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. In preparing the financial statements, the Company is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the interim period presented. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature and include appropriate estimated provisions.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 sets forth the CECL model requiring the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-13 requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses. In addition, the update amends the accounting for credit losses on AFS securities. As an SEC registrant with smaller reporting company filing status as determined on June 30, 2019, CECL is effective for the Company January 1, 2023. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In that regard, the Company has formed a cross-functional working group and is currently working through an implementation plan. The implementation plan includes an assessment of data, model development and documentation, documentation of processes, and implementation of a third-party vendor solution to assist in the adoption of ASU 2016-13.
2. Securities
Securities held for indefinite periods of time are classified as AFS and carried at estimated fair value. Investment activity for the three months ended March 31, 2021, included $123.2 million of securities purchased, partially offset by $64.8 million in sales and $30.8 million in maturities, principal repayments, and calls. The net unrealized gain on the securities AFS portfolio decreased $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company held 139 securities that were in unrealized loss positions. The aggregate unrealized loss of these securities as of March 31, 2021, was 1.15% of the amortized cost basis of the total securities AFS portfolio. Management and the Asset-Liability Management Committee continually monitor the securities portfolio and are able to effectively measure and monitor the unrealized loss positions on these securities. Management does not intend to sell these securities prior to recovery, and it is more likely than not that the Company will have the ability to hold them, primarily due to adequate liquidity, until each security has recovered its cost basis. The unrealized losses on these securities have been determined by management to be a function of the movement of interest rates since the time of purchase. Based on the review of available information, including recent changes in interest rates and credit rating information, management believes the decline in fair value of these securities is temporary. The Company does not consider these securities to have OTTI.
Management evaluates securities for OTTI on at least a quarterly basis and more frequently if economic or market concerns merit such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost; (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; and (3) whether the Company intends to, and it is more likely than not that it will be able to, retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Additionally, the Company annually performs a detailed credit review of the municipal securities owned to identify any potential credit concerns. There were no OTTI losses on debt securities related to credit losses recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021, or the year ended December 31, 2020.

Troubled Debt Restructurings
The restructuring of a loan is considered a TDR if the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and the bank has granted a concession. Concessions grant terms to the borrower that would not be offered for new debt with similar risk characteristics. Concessions typically include interest rate reductions or below market interest rates, revising amortization schedules to defer principal and interest payments, and other changes necessary to provide payment relief to the borrower and minimize the risk of loss. There were no unfunded commitments to extend credit related to these loans as of March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

There were no loans modified as TDRs during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020. Additionally, there were no defaults on loans during the three months ended March 31, 2021 or March 31, 2020, that had been modified as a TDR during the prior twelve months.
Short-term loan modifications on loans HFI were made to provide temporary relief to borrowers that have been adversely affected by the outbreak of COVID-19. In accordance with interagency regulatory guidance issued in March 2020 and revised in April 2020, these short-term deferrals are not deemed to be TDRs to the extent they meet the terms of such guidance.
Credit Quality Indicators
Loans are categorized based on the degree of risk inherent in the credit and the ability of the borrower to service the debt. A description of the general characteristics of the Bank’s risk rating grades follows:
Pass - These loans are of satisfactory quality and do not require a more severe classification.
Special Mention - This category includes loans with potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan.
Substandard - Loans in this category have well defined weaknesses which jeopardize normal repayment of principal and interest.
Doubtful - Loans in this category have well defined weaknesses that make full collection improbable.
Loss - Loans classified in this category are considered uncollectible and charged-off to the allowance for loan losses.

Commitments to Extend Credit
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer if all conditions of the commitment have been met. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s evaluation of the customer’s ability to repay. As of March 31, 2021, unfunded loan commitments totaled approximately $311.3 million. As of December 31, 2020, unfunded loan commitments totaled approximately $283.3 million.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. As of March 31, 2021, commitments under standby letters of credit totaled approximately $11.8 million. As of December 31, 2020, commitments under standby letters of credit totaled approximately $10.5 million. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
4. Deposits
Deposits were $2.52 billion and $2.34 billion as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. This increase was a result of customers receiving funds from government stimulus programs, customers depositing the proceeds from their PPP2 loans, and customers maintaining larger deposit balances, partially offset by the normal seasonal drawdowns as public entity customers distributed their year-end funds to other organizations. Deposits are summarized below:

5. Contingencies
The Company and the Bank are involved, from time to time, in various legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these claims or litigation cannot be determined at this time, in the opinion of management, neither the Company nor the Bank are involved in such legal proceedings that the resolution is expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

6. Fair Value
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Fair Value Disclosure
Securities AFS, loans HFS, and equity securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as impaired loans, foreclosed assets, and other certain assets. The nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures indicates that assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value according to a fair value hierarchy comprised of three levels:
Level 1 pricing represents quotes on the exact financial instrument that is traded in active markets. Quoted prices on actively traded equities, for example, are in this category.
Level 2 pricing is derived from observable data including market spreads, current and projected rates, prepayment data, and credit quality. The valuation may be based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 pricing is derived without the use of observable data. In such cases, mark-to-model strategies are typically employed. Often, these types of instruments have no active market, possess unique characteristics, and are thinly traded.
The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value:
Investment Securities and other Stocks: The fair values for marketable securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3).
Loans HFS: Residential mortgage loans originated and held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value on an individual basis. The fair values of mortgage loans HFS are based on commitments on hand from investors within the secondary market for loans with similar characteristics. As such, the fair value adjustments for mortgage loans HFS are recurring Level 2.
Loans HFI: The Company does not record loans HFI at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan may be considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses may be established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment using estimated fair value methodologies. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value, and discounted cash flows. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company considers the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company considers the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.
Foreclosed Assets: Foreclosed assets, consisting of properties obtained through foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, are reported at fair value, determined on the basis of current appraisals, comparable sales, and other estimates of value obtained principally from independent sources, adjusted for estimated selling costs (Level 2). However, foreclosed assets are considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because management has qualitatively applied a discount due to the size, supply of inventory, and the incremental discounts applied to the appraisals. Management also considers other factors, including changes in absorption rates, length of time the property has been on the market, and anticipated sales values, which have resulted in adjustments to the collateral value estimates indicated in certain appraisals.

There were no transfers between Level 1, 2, or 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020.
Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Nonrecurring Basis
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities: Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances. Financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include certain impaired collateral dependent loans reported at fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Prior to foreclosure of these loans, fair value of the collateral is estimated using Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria.
The table below presents certain impaired loans that were remeasured and reported at fair value through the allowance for loan losses based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral during the reported periods:

We did not have any financial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020.
Nonfinancial Assets and Liabilities: Certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These include certain foreclosed assets, which are remeasured and reported at fair value through a charge-off to the allowance for loan losses upon initial recognition as a foreclosed asset. Subsequent to their initial recognition, certain foreclosed assets are remeasured at fair value through an adjustment included in other noninterest income. The fair value of foreclosed assets is estimated using Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria less estimated selling costs.

7. Regulatory Capital Requirements
Red River Bank
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the FDIC. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank's and the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
The Bank is subject to Basel III capital guidelines. Basel III requires the Bank to maintain certain minimum ratios to meet capital adequacy requirements. In addition, a capital conservation buffer was established above the minimum regulatory capital requirements. Effective January 1, 2019, the final capital conservation buffer was fully phased in at 2.500%. It is management’s belief that, as of March 31, 2021, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements under Basel III. Management expects that the capital ratios for the Bank under Basel III will continue to exceed capital adequacy requirements. The most recent notification from the FDIC (as of December 31, 2019) categorized the Bank as "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

Red River Bancshares, Inc.
As a general matter, bank holding companies are subject to capital adequacy requirements under applicable Federal Reserve regulations. However, bank holding companies which qualify as "small bank holding companies" under the Federal Reserve's Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement are exempt from the Federal Reserve's capital adequacy guidelines at the holding company level. In May 2018, the Economic Growth Act was enacted, and it increased the asset threshold for "small bank holding companies" from $1.0 billion to $3.0 billion. Because the Company had less than $3.0 billion in assets as of June 30, 2020, the last measurement date, it is not subject to capital adequacy guidelines on a consolidated basis. Although the minimum regulatory capital requirements are not applicable to the Company, the Company calculates these ratios for its own planning and monitoring purposes.

Community Bank Leverage Ratio Framework
As part of the directive under the Economic Growth Act, on September 17, 2019, the FDIC and other federal bank regulatory agencies approved the CBLR framework. This optional framework became effective January 1, 2020, and is available as an alternative to the Basel III risk-based capital framework. The CBLR framework provides for a simple measure of capital adequacy for certain community banking organizations. Specifically, depository institutions and depository institution holding companies that have less than $10.0 billion in total consolidated assets and meet other qualifying criteria, including a Tier 1 leverage ratio of greater than 9.00% (subsequently temporarily reduced to 8.00% for 2020 and 8.50% for 2021 as a COVID-19 relief measure), are considered qualifying community banking organizations and are eligible to opt into the CBLR framework and replace the applicable Basel III risk-based capital requirements.
25
As of March 31, 2021, the Company and the Bank qualify for the CBLR framework. Management does not intend to utilize the CBLR framework.
8. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, after giving retroactive effect to stock splits. Diluted EPS includes accrued but unissued shares relating to the Amended and Restated Director Compensation Program, stock options, and restricted stock determined using the treasury stock method. The dilutive EPS calculation assumes all outstanding stock options to purchase common stock have been exercised at the beginning of the year and the pro forma proceeds from the exercised options and restricted stock are used to purchase common stock at the average fair market valuation price.
The computations of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the Company were as follows:

Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices and based on market conditions, or in privately negotiated transactions. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company repurchased 19,661 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $1.0 million.

FIRST QUARTER 2021 OVERVIEW
The first quarter of 2021 included record-high quarterly net income, the implementation of the SBA PPP2, an increase to the quarterly cash dividend, stock repurchase activity, and executive management and board member changes. Economic activity in Louisiana improved due to an easing of the Louisiana COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, and the distribution of additional government stimulus funds.
COVID-19 Update
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and executive orders by the governor of Louisiana, the residents, businesses, and non-profit organizations of Louisiana have been subject to the following limitations:
•Between November 6, 2020 and November 24, 2020, Louisiana was in modified Phase Three restriction status, during which time most non-essential businesses and places of worship were allowed to operate at 75% occupancy, with a few classes of businesses operating at 50% occupancy, and other businesses, including amusement parks and music halls, remaining closed.
•On November 25, 2020, due to an increase in COVID-19 cases, Louisiana returned to modified Phase Two restrictions. During this phase, which lasted until March 2, 2021, most non-essential businesses, including restaurants, were limited to 50% occupancy, although places of worship were allowed to continue to operate at 75% occupancy. Amusement parks and music halls remained closed.
•Effective March 3, 2021, Louisiana moved back to modified Phase Three restriction status. Most non-essential businesses and places of worship were permitted to operate at 75% occupancy. A few classes of businesses were permitted to operate at 50% occupancy, and other businesses, including amusement parks and music halls, remained closed.
•Effective March 31, 2021, certain Phase Three restrictions were lifted. Most non-essential businesses, including restaurants, were allowed to operate at 100% capacity. The statewide mask mandate remained in place.
27
•Effective April 28, 2021, the statewide mask mandate was lifted. A few classes of businesses remain restricted to 75% occupancy, including theaters, athletic event venues, and conference centers.
•In the first quarter of 2021, COVID-19 vaccinations became widely available. As of April 30, 2021, more than 26% of Louisiana's population was fully vaccinated.
As an essential business and to support our customers, Red River Bank has provided full banking services throughout the pandemic.
First Quarter 2021 Financial and Operational Highlights
•Net income for the first quarter of 2021 was $8.1 million, or $1.10 diluted EPS, an increase of $1.3 million, or 19.6%, compared to $6.7 million, or $0.92 diluted EPS, for the first quarter of 2020.
•For the first quarter of 2021, the quarterly return on assets was 1.20%, and the quarterly return on equity was 11.36%.
•Assets were $2.82 billion as of March 31, 2021, a $178.0 million, or 6.7%, increase from December 31, 2020. Asset growth in the first quarter of 2021 was driven by a $174.9 million increase in deposits. Deposits increased as a result of customers receiving funds from government stimulus programs, customers depositing the proceeds from their PPP2 loans, and customers maintaining larger deposit balances, partially offset by the normal seasonal drawdowns by public entity customers.
•Red River Bank is participating in the SBA PPP. In the first quarter of 2021, forgiveness of PPP1 loans was offset by the issuance of PPP2 loans. Total PPP loans outstanding were consistent between March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. PPP loan income for the first quarter of 2021 was $2.1 million, $891,000 lower than $3.0 million for the prior quarter.
•The net interest margin FTE for the first quarter of 2021 was 2.76%, compared to 3.08% for the prior quarter and 3.41% for the first quarter of 2020. The net interest margin for the first quarter of 2021 was negatively impacted by a higher level of low yielding short-term liquid assets, combined with lower PPP loan income.
•Mortgage loan production remained strong with the low mortgage interest rate environment resulting in continued mortgage refinancing activity. Mortgage loan income for the first quarter of 2021 was $2.9 million, a 7.6% increase from the prior quarter and a 224.2% increase from the first quarter of 2020.
•Brokerage income for the first quarter of 2021 was at a quarterly record-high level. Brokerage income for the first quarter of 2021 was $834,000, a 39.5% increase from the prior quarter and a 12.1% increase from the first quarter of 2020.
•Nonperforming assets decreased $602,000 in the first quarter and were $3.6 million, or 0.13% of assets as of March 31, 2021. Due to positive asset quality trends, the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, and the easing of pandemic-related restrictions on businesses, the provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2021 was $1.5 million, compared to $2.7 million for the prior quarter and $503,000 for the first quarter of 2020. As of March 31, 2021, the allowance for loan losses was $19.4 million, or 1.21% of loans HFI and 1.31% of non-PPP loans HFI (non-GAAP). For further information on non-GAAP financial measures, see " - Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
•We increased the quarterly cash dividend to $0.07 per common share.
•In accordance with the stock repurchase program implemented in the third quarter of 2020, we repurchased 19,661 shares of common stock in the first quarter of 2021 at an aggregate cost of $1.0 million.
•Various executive management changes at Red River Bank occurred. Jeffrey R. Theiler stepped down as Senior Vice President and Chief Operations Officer for Red River Bank. Bridges Hall transitioned from being Northwest Market President to Senior Vice President and Credit Policy Officer. Jennifer Elliott joined Red River Bank as the Northwest Market President.
•Various changes occurred with the Boards of Directors of the Company and Red River Bank. Anna Brasher Moreau, DDS, MS, was appointed to the boards of the Company and Red River Bank. John C. Simpson transitioned from his role as Chairman of the Board of the Company and Red River Bank to Chair Emeritus and is also remaining a member on both boards. Teddy R. Price was elected by the board to serve as Chair of the Board of the Company and Red River Bank.
•In April 2021, the Company decided to invest in the JAM FINTOP Banktech, L.P. fund to strategically develop partnerships as we build Red River Bank's digital offerings.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income for the first quarter of 2021 was $8.1 million, or $1.10 diluted EPS, an increase of $1.3 million, or 19.6%, compared to $6.7 million, or $0.92 diluted EPS, in the first quarter of 2020. The increase in net income was due to a $2.0 million increase in noninterest income and a $1.5 million increase in net interest income, partially offset by a $1.2 million increase in operating expenses, a $947,000 increase in the provision for loan losses, and a $67,000 increase in income tax expense. The return on assets for the first quarter of 2021 was 1.20%, compared to 1.36% for the first quarter of 2020. The return on equity was 11.36% for the first quarter of 2021 and 10.53% for the first quarter of 2020. Our efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2021 was 54.02%, compared to 57.40% for the first quarter of 2020.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Our operating results depend primarily on our net interest income. Fluctuations in market interest rates impact the yield on interest-earning assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in the amount and type of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact our net interest income. To evaluate net interest income, we measure and monitor: (1) yields on loans and other interest-earning assets; (2) the cost of deposits and other funding sources; (3) net interest spread; and (4) net interest margin. Since noninterest-bearing sources of funds, such as noninterest-bearing deposits and stockholders’ equity, also fund interest-earning assets, net interest margin includes the benefit of these noninterest-bearing funding sources.
Since March 2020, we have been in a low interest rate environment that has impacted both the net interest income and net interest margin FTE. The average effective federal funds rate for the first quarter of 2020 was 1.26%. In March 2020, the target federal funds rate decreased 150 bps to 0.25% and has remained at this rate through March 31, 2021. The average effective federal funds rate for the first quarter of 2021 was 0.08%. The lower interest rate environment impacted yields on new, renewing, and floating rate loans, short-term liquid assets, and securities.
For the first quarter of 2021, deposit growth resulted in additional liquidity which was deployed primarily into interest-bearing deposits in other banks and also into securities. The additional liquidity had an approximately 60 bp dilutive impact to the net interest margin FTE. For the second quarter of 2021, we expect the net interest margin FTE to decrease slightly due to the uncertainty of the higher liquidity levels and the deployment of these funds, combined with the timing of PPP loan forgiveness payments.
First Quarter of 2021
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2021 totaled $17.6 million, a $1.5 million, or 9.3%, increase from $16.1 million for the first quarter of 2020. Net interest income increased due to a $598,000 increase in interest and dividend income, combined with a $905,000 decrease in interest expense. Interest and dividend income increased primarily due to $2.1 million of PPP loan income recorded during the first quarter of 2021 and a $99,000 increase in interest income for total securities. These increases were partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in non-PPP loan income and a $197,000 decrease in interest income on short-term liquid assets due to the lower yields resulting from the continued low interest rate environment. The increase in interest income for total securities was due to a $141.6 million, or 40.5%, growth in average total securities compared to the first quarter of 2020, partially offset by a decrease in the yield. Due to this growth, average total securities were 18.8% of average earning assets for the first quarter of 2021. Interest expense decreased as deposits continued to price downward as we adjusted rates on interest-bearing deposits over the past 12 months. This decrease was partially offset by higher deposit balances. For the first quarter of 2021, average noninterest-bearing deposits increased $366.2 million, or 62.0%, and average interest-bearing transaction deposits increased $329.0 million, or 41.4%, compared to the first quarter of 2020.
Net interest margin FTE decreased 65 bps to 2.76% for the first quarter of 2021, from 3.41% for the first quarter of 2020, due to the Federal Reserve lowering interest rates 150 bps in March 2020, combined with the high level of low yielding short-term liquid assets maintained in the first quarter of 2021. Because deposit growth exceeded loan growth during the last 12 months, excess liquidity was deployed primarily into interest-bearing deposits in other banks and also into securities. For the first quarter of 2021, average short-term liquid assets were higher by $431.0 million, or 459.5%, compared to the first quarter of 2020 and were 20.1% of average earning assets. For the first quarter of 2021, compared to the first quarter of 2020, the yield on federal funds sold decreased 121 bps, and the yield on interest-bearing balances due from banks decreased 127 bps due to the lower interest rate environment. For the first quarter of 2021, the yield on taxable securities decreased 76 bps to 1.17%, compared to 1.93% for the first quarter of 2020. The yield on tax-exempt securities decreased 31 bps to 2.10%, compared to 2.41% for the same period prior year. The decrease in yield, for both taxable and tax-exempt securities, was due to the securities purchased during the last 12 months having lower yields than the portfolio yield as of March 31, 2020, as a result of the low rate environment. The yield on loans decreased 19 bps to 4.31% for the first quarter of 2021, compared to the same period prior year, due to the impact of the lower interest rate environment on new, renewed, and floating rate loans, partially offset by the yield on PPP loans. As of March 31, 2021, floating rate loans were 14.5% of loans HFI. The resulting yield on interest-earning assets was 2.94% for the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of 95 bps, compared to 3.89% for the first quarter of 2020. The cost of deposits was 0.27% for the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of 31 bps, compared to 0.58% for the first quarter of 2020. The cost of deposits was lower for the first quarter of 2021 due to average noninterest-bearing deposits increasing $366.2 million, or 62.0%, combined with a 45 bp decrease in the rate on interest-bearing deposits for the same period as a result of our adjustments to deposit rates.

In the first quarter of 2021, Red River Bank had $108.3 million of average PPP loans, net of deferred income, outstanding at an interest rate of 1.0%. PPP origination fees were $9.5 million, or 3.73%, of originated PPP loans and are being recorded to interest income over the 24- or 60-month loan term, for PPP1 and PPP2, respectively, or until the loans are forgiven by the SBA. When PPP loan forgiveness payments are received in full, the remaining portion of origination fees are recorded to income. Through March 31, 2021, we had received $132.1 million in SBA forgiveness and borrower payments on 78.6% of the 1,384 PPP1 loans originated. For the first quarter of 2021, PPP loan interest and fees totaled $2.1 million, resulting in a 7.97% yield.
Excluding PPP loan income, net interest income (non-GAAP) for the first quarter of 2021 was $15.5 million which was $629,000, or 3.9%, lower than the first quarter of 2020. Also, with PPP loans excluded for the first quarter of 2021, the yield on non-PPP loans (non-GAAP) was 4.05%, and the net interest margin FTE (non-GAAP) was 2.53%. For the first quarter of 2021, PPP loans had a 26 bp accretive impact to the yield on loans and a 23 bp accretive impact to the net interest margin FTE.

Rate/Volume Analysis
Increases and decreases in interest income and interest expense result from changes in average balances (volume) of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as changes in average interest rates. The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It distinguishes between the changes related to outstanding balances and those due to changes in interest rates. The change in interest attributable to rate has been determined by applying the change in rate between periods to average balances outstanding in the earlier period. The change in interest due to volume has been determined by applying the rate from the earlier period to the change in average balances outstanding between periods. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated to rate.

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses is a charge to income necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level considered appropriate by management. Factors impacting the provision include loan portfolio growth, changes in the quality and composition of the loan portfolio, the level of nonperforming loans, delinquency and charge-off trends, and current economic conditions.
The provision expense for the first quarter of 2021 was $1.5 million, an increase of $947,000, or 188.3%, from $503,000 for the first quarter of 2020, due to economic pressures related to the COVID-19 pandemic. As we continue to monitor the economy for signs that recovery is underway, we expect to return to pre-COVID-19 provision expense levels.
Noninterest Income
Our primary sources of noninterest income are fees related to the sale of mortgage loans, service charges on deposit accounts, debit card fees, brokerage income from advisory services, and other loan and deposit fees. Noninterest income increased $2.0 million to $6.8 million for the first quarter of 2021 compared to $4.7 million for the first quarter of 2020. The increase in noninterest income was mainly due to higher mortgage loan income, higher net debit card income, and higher loan and deposit income. These increases were partially offset by a smaller gain on sale of securities, a decrease in service charges on deposit accounts, and a loss on equity securities.

Mortgage loan income increased $2.0 million to $2.9 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared to $889,000 for the same quarter prior year. As a result of the low mortgage interest rate environment, mortgage lending activity in the first quarter of 2021 continued at high levels.
Debit card income, net, increased $291,000 to $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020. This increase was due to increases in the number and amount of debit card transactions.
Loan and deposit income totaled $473,000 for the first quarter of 2021, an increase of $173,000 compared to the same quarter prior year. This increase was primarily related to $110,000 of nonrecurring commercial real estate loan fees and $42,000 of higher interchange fees from an increase in credit card purchase volume in the first quarter of 2021.
The gain on the sale of securities was $159,000 for the first quarter of 2021, compared to a gain of $383,000 in the first quarter of 2020. The gain in the first quarter of 2021 was primarily due to favorable pricing obtained from the sale of lower yielding taxable municipals. The gain in the first quarter of 2020 was primarily a result of unusually high prices in the municipal securities market.
Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $169,000 to $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020. This decrease was mainly due to fewer non-sufficient fund transactions in the first quarter of 2021.
The gain or loss on equity securities is a mark-to-market adjustment primarily driven by changes in the interest rate environment. Due to fluctuations in market rates between periods, equity securities had a mark-to-market loss of $70,000 for the first quarter of 2021, compared to a gain of $63,000 in the first quarter of 2020.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses are composed of all employee expenses and costs associated with operating our facilities, obtaining and retaining customer relationships, and providing services. Operating expenses increased $1.2 million to $13.2 million for the first quarter of 2021 compared to $12.0 million for the first quarter of 2020. The increase in operating expenses was mainly due to higher personnel expenses, other operating expenses, and regulatory assessment expenses, partially offset by lower legal and professional expenses.

Personnel expenses are the largest component of operating expenses and include payroll expenses, incentive compensation, benefit plans, health insurance, and payroll taxes. Personnel expenses increased $673,000 to $8.0 million for the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same quarter prior year. As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, we had 339 and 333 full-time equivalent employees, respectively. The increase in personnel expenses was related to additional staff resulting from our expansion in the Southwest and Acadiana markets. Also, commission compensation increased for the first quarter of 2021, compared to the same quarter prior year, primarily due to significantly higher mortgage loan activity.
Other operating expenses increased by $362,000 to $983,000 for the first quarter of 2021, compared to $621,000 for the first quarter of 2020. This increase was primarily a result of a $311,000 nonrecurring expense reduction related to the dissolution of an acquired subsidiary in the first quarter of 2020.
Regulatory assessment expense increased $175,000 to $201,000 for the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same quarter prior year. The Bank was notified by the FDIC that it did not have an FDIC insurance assessment for the first quarter of 2020. Therefore, no FDIC insurance assessment expense was incurred for the first quarter of 2020 compared to $176,000 for the first quarter of 2021.
Legal and professional expenses decreased $127,000 to $368,000 for the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same quarter prior year. This decrease was due to lower attorney fees in the first quarter of 2021.
Income Tax Expense
The amount of income tax expense is influenced by the amounts of our pre-tax income, tax-exempt income, and other nondeductible expenses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates in effect for the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.
Our effective income tax rates have differed from the U.S. statutory rate due to the effect of tax-exempt income from loans, securities, and life insurance policies, and the income tax effects associated with stock-based compensation.
For the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, income tax expense totaled $1.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively. The increase in income tax expense was primarily due to the increase in pre-tax income. Our effective income tax rates for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, were 17.3% and 19.4%, respectively.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
General
As of March 31, 2021, total assets were $2.82 billion which was $178.0 million, or 6.7%, higher than total assets of $2.64 billion as of December 31, 2020. Within total assets, compared to December 31, 2020, interest-bearing deposits in other
36
banks increased by $148.5 million, securities AFS increased by $17.7 million, and loans HFI increased by $13.6 million. For liabilities, compared to December 31, 2020, interest-bearing deposits increased by $103.2 million to $1.50 billion, and noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $71.7 million to $1.02 billion. As of March 31, 2021, the loans HFI to deposits ratio was 63.69%, compared to 67.87% as of December 31, 2020, and the noninterest-bearing deposits to total deposits ratio was 40.37%, compared to 40.32% as of December 31, 2020. Stockholders' equity decreased $567,000 during the first three months of 2021 to $284.9 million as of March 31, 2021.
Interest-bearing Deposits in Other Banks
Interest-bearing deposits in other banks is the second largest component of earning assets. As of March 31, 2021, interest-bearing deposits in other banks was 20.1% of total assets. Historically, interest-bearing deposits in other banks were a much smaller portion of our total assets. Excess liquidity that is not being deployed into loans or securities is placed in these accounts. Interest-bearing deposits in other banks increased $517.5 million, or 1,064.8%, since March 31, 2020, and $148.5 million, or 35.6%, since December 31, 2020. These increases have been driven by an increase in customer deposits since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. These deposits have increased due to customers receiving funds from various government stimulus programs, customers depositing the proceeds from PPP loans, and customers maintaining larger deposit balances.
Securities
Our securities portfolio is the third largest component of earning assets and provides a significant source of revenue. As of March 31, 2021, our securities portfolio was 18.4% of total assets. It is designed primarily to provide and maintain liquidity, generate a favorable return on investments without incurring unnecessary interest rate and credit risk, and complement our lending activities. We may invest in various types of liquid assets that are permissible under governing regulations and approved by our investment policy, which include U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. government agency obligations, certificates of deposit of insured domestic banks, mortgage-backed and mortgage-related securities, corporate notes having an investment rating of "A" or better, municipal bonds, and certain equity securities.
Securities AFS were $515.9 million as of March 31, 2021, an increase of $17.7 million, or 3.6%, from $498.2 million as of December 31, 2020. Investment activity for the three months ended March 31, 2021, included $123.2 million of securities purchased, partially offset by $64.8 million in sales and $30.8 million in maturities, principal repayments, and calls. The net unrealized gain of the securities AFS portfolio decreased $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. This decrease is attributed to an increase in market rates which resulted in lower prices on securities, and therefore, an overall lower market value of the portfolio.
The carrying values of our securities AFS are adjusted for unrealized gain or loss, and any unrealized gain or loss is reported on an after-tax basis as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. As of March 31, 2021, the net unrealized loss of the securities AFS portfolio was $419,000, compared to a net unrealized gain of $8.8 million as of December 31, 2020.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we sold $64.8 million of securities AFS, consisting of fast paying mortgage-backed and municipal securities with lower yields and short average lives. A large portion of the securities sold were mortgage-backed securities which had fast prepayment speeds and were owned at higher book prices, and due to accelerated prepayment speeds, the yields had declined. We reinvested the proceeds into securities with improved structure which rebalanced the cash flows for the portfolio, reduced amortization expense for the mortgage-backed sector, and improved the portfolio yield.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, due to the low interest rate environment, we reallocated $67.5 million from federal funds sold yielding 0.11% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, to securities yielding 1.57%. Although this reallocation has slightly impacted the overall securities portfolio yield, we expect it to improve future interest income by moving these funds from federal funds sold to a higher yielding investment.
The securities portfolio tax-equivalent yield was 1.76% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to 2.21% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in yield for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to the same period for 2020, was due to purchasing $433.8 million in securities over the past year with lower yields than the portfolio yield as of March 31, 2020.
Equity securities, consisting of a mutual fund, are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets with periodic changes in value recorded through the consolidated statements of income. The fair value of our equity securities was $4.0 million as of March 31, 2021, with a recognized loss of $70,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to a fair value of $4.0 million as of December 31, 2020, with a recognized gain of $85,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020. There were no purchases or sales of equity securities for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The following tables summarize the amortized cost and estimated fair value of our securities by type as of the dates indicated. As of March 31, 2021, other than securities issued by U.S. government agencies or government sponsored enterprises, our securities portfolio did not contain securities of any one issuer with an aggregate book value in excess of 10.0% of our stockholders’ equity.

Loan Portfolio
Our loan portfolio is our largest category of earning assets, and interest income earned on our loan portfolio is our primary source of income. We maintain a diversified loan portfolio with a focus on commercial real estate, one-to-four family residential, and commercial and industrial loans. As of March 31, 2021, loans HFI were $1.60 billion, an increase of $13.6 million, or 0.9%, compared to $1.59 billion as of December 31, 2020.
Red River Bank is participating in the SBA PPP. In the second quarter of 2020, Red River Bank originated 1,384 PPP1 loans totaling $199.0 million, with an average PPP loan size of $144,000. We began accepting PPP1 loan forgiveness applications on September 14, 2020, and in the fourth quarter of 2020, we began receiving PPP1 loan forgiveness payments from the SBA. As of March 31, 2021, we had received $132.1 million in SBA forgiveness and borrower payments on 78.6% of the 1,384 PPP1 loans originated. Through April 30, 2021, we had received $138.2 million in SBA forgiveness and borrower payments on 80.5% of the 1,384 PPP1 loans originated.
With the passing of the Economic Aid Act in December 2020, Red River Bank issued additional PPP1 loans and new PPP2 loans in the first quarter of 2021. As of March 31, 2021, new PPP1 loans were minimal, and we originated 436 PPP2 loans totaling $52.6 million, with an average size of $121,000. PPP2 loans resulted in $2.4 million of gross origination fees, yielding 4.64%. As of March 31, 2021, PPP loans were $119.4 million, net of $3.4 million of deferred income, or 7.5% of loans HFI.
38
As of March 31, 2021, loans HFI excluding $119.4 million of PPP loans (non-GAAP), net of deferred income, were $1.48 billion, an increase of $12.7 million, or 0.9%, from December 31, 2020. For calculations and reconciliations to GAAP of non-GAAP financial measures, see " - Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Loan Payment Deferments
During 2020, we began granting loan payment deferments for requesting borrowers impacted by pandemic-related economic shutdowns. As of March 31, 2021, $9.7 million, or 0.7% of non-PPP loans HFI (non-GAAP), remained on active deferral and were deferrals of principal payments only. As of April 30, 2021, $9.1 million or 0.6%, of non-PPP loans HFI (non-GAAP), remained on active deferral. For calculations and reconciliations to GAAP of non-GAAP financial measures, see " - Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
In accordance with interagency regulatory guidance issued in March 2020 and revised in April 2020, these short-term deferrals are not deemed to be TDRs to the extent they meet the terms of such guidance.
Industry and Other Portfolio Sectors
We have identified certain sectors within our loan portfolio that we believe have a heightened overall level of risk due to pandemic-related macroeconomic conditions. The following table shows non-PPP loans HFI (non-GAAP) in these sectors as of the dates indicated:

39
to $8.1 million, or 0.6% of non-PPP loans HFI (non-GAAP), as of December 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2021, there were no active deferrals in the retail trade or energy sectors.

Our health care loans are made up of a diversified portfolio of health care providers. As of March 31, 2021, health care credits were $145.1 million, or 9.8% of non-PPP loans HFI (non-GAAP), compared to $149.4 million, or 10.2% of non-PPP loans HFI (non-GAAP) as of December 31, 2020. The average health care loan size was $294,000 as of March 31, 2021, and $305,000 as of December 31, 2020. Within the health care sector, nursing and residential care loans were 4.0% of non-PPP loans HFI (non-GAAP) as of March 31, 2021, and 4.4% as of December 31, 2020. Loans to physician and dental practices were 5.7% of non-PPP loans HFI (non-GAAP) as of March 31, 2021, and 5.7% as of December 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2021, the health care sector had no active deferrals.
None of the markets in which we directly operate are characterized by a high degree of tourism-driven hospitality services. Likewise, our geographic footprint is not closely aligned with the bulk of Louisiana’s energy-concentrated local economies. We believe this provides our portfolio with some degree of insulation against the current stress in both of those segments.

Nonperforming Assets
NPAs consist of nonperforming loans and property acquired through foreclosures or repossession. Nonperforming loans include loans that are contractually past due 90 days or more and loans that are on nonaccrual status. Loans are considered past due when principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments are due.
Asset quality is managed through disciplined underwriting policies, continual monitoring of loan performance, and focused management of NPAs. There can be no assurance, however, that the loan portfolio will not become subject to losses due to declines in economic conditions, deterioration in the financial condition of our borrowers, or a decline in the value of collateral.
40
NPAs totaled $3.6 million as of March 31, 2021, down $602,000, or 14.3%, from $4.2 million as of December 31, 2020, primarily due to the payoff of nonaccrual loans and the sale of foreclosed assets. The ratio of NPAs to total assets improved to 0.13% as of March 31, 2021, from 0.16% as of December 31, 2020.

Potential Problem Loans
From a credit risk standpoint, we classify loans in one of five categories: pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful, or loss. Loan classifications reflect a judgment about the risk of default and loss associated with the loans. Classifications are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect the degree of risk and loss believed to be inherent in each loan. The methodology is structured so that specific reserve allocations are increased in accordance with deterioration in credit quality (and a corresponding increase in risk and loss) or decreased in accordance with improvement in credit quality (and a corresponding decrease in risk and loss).
Loans classified as pass are of satisfactory quality and do not require a more severe classification.
Loans classified as special mention have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If these weaknesses are not corrected, repayment possibilities for the loan may deteriorate. However, the loss potential does not warrant substandard classification.
41
Loans classified as substandard have well defined weaknesses which jeopardize normal repayment of principal and interest. Prompt corrective action is required to reduce exposure and to assure adequate remedial actions are taken by the borrower. If these weaknesses do not improve, loss is possible. Loans classified as doubtful have well defined weaknesses that make full collection improbable. Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and charged-off to the allowance for loan losses.
As of March 31, 2021, loans classified as pass were 99.2% of loans HFI, and loans classified as special mention and substandard were 0.2% and 0.6%, respectively, of loans HFI. There were no loans as of March 31, 2021, classified as doubtful or loss. As of December 31, 2020, loans classified as pass were 99.2% of loans HFI, and loans classified as special mention and substandard were 0.1% and 0.7%, respectively, of loans HFI. There were no loans as of December 31, 2020, classified as doubtful or loss.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses provides for known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio based upon management's best assessment of the loan portfolio at each balance sheet date. It is maintained at a level estimated to be adequate to absorb potential losses through periodic changes to loan losses.
In connection with the review of the loan portfolio, risk elements attributable to particular loan types or categories are considered in assessing the quality of individual loans. Some of the risk elements considered include:
• for commercial real estate loans, the debt service coverage ratio (income from the business in excess of operating expenses compared to loan repayment requirements); operating results of the owner in the case of owner occupied properties; the loan to value ratio; the age and condition of the collateral; and the volatility of income, property value, and future operating results typical of properties of that type;
• for one-to-four family residential mortgage loans, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, including a consideration of the debt to income ratio and employment and income stability; the loan-to-value ratio; and the age, condition, and marketability of the collateral;
• for construction and development loans, the perceived feasibility of the project including the ability to sell developed lots or improvements constructed for resale or the ability to lease property constructed for lease; the quality and nature of contracts for presale or prelease, if any; experience and ability of the developer; and the loan to value ratio; and
• for commercial and industrial loans, the debt service coverage ratio; the operating results of the commercial, industrial, or professional enterprise; the borrower’s business, professional, and financial ability and expertise; the specific risks and volatility of income and operating results typical for businesses in that category; the value, nature, and marketability of collateral; and the financial resources of the guarantor(s), if any.
When effective, the CECL allowance model, prescribed by ASU No. 2016-13, will require measurement of expected credit losses based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This model will replace the existing incurred loss model. As an SEC registrant with smaller reporting company filing status as determined on June 30, 2019, CECL is effective for us on January 1, 2023. Refer to "Item 1. Financial Statements - Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Recent Accounting Pronouncements" in this report for more information on ASU No. 2016-13.
As of March 31, 2021, the allowance for loan losses was $19.4 million, or 1.21% of loans HFI, and 1.31% of non-PPP loans HFI (non-GAAP). As of December 31, 2020, the allowance for loan losses totaled $18.0 million, or 1.13% of loans HFI, and 1.22% of non-PPP loans HFI (non-GAAP). The $1.4 million increase in the allowance for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was due to the provision for loan loss expense. For calculations and reconciliations to GAAP of non-GAAP financial measures, see " - Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was $1.5 million, an increase of $947,000, or 188.3%, from $503,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in the provision for loan losses was due to economic pressures related to the COVID-19 pandemic. As we continue to monitor the economy for signs that recovery is underway, we expect to return to pre-COVID-19 provision expense levels.

We believe the allowance for loan losses was adequate to provide for known and inherent losses in the portfolio at all times shown above. Future provisions for loan losses are subject to ongoing evaluations of the factors and loan portfolio risks described above, including economic pressures related to COVID-19 and natural disasters affecting the state of Louisiana. A decline in market area economic conditions, deterioration of asset quality, or growth in portfolio size could cause the allowance to become inadequate and material additional provisions for loan losses could be required.
Deposits
Deposits are the primary funding source for loans and investments. We offer a variety of deposit products designed to attract and retain consumer, commercial, and public entity customers. These products consist of noninterest and interest-bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts, and time deposit accounts. Deposits are gathered from individuals, partnerships, corporations, and public entities located primarily in our market areas. We do not have any internet-sourced or brokered deposits.
Total deposits increased $174.9 million, or 7.5%, to $2.52 billion as of March 31, 2021, from $2.34 billion as of December 31, 2020. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $71.7 million, or 7.6%, to $1.02 billion as of March 31, 2021. Noninterest-bearing deposits as a percentage of total deposits were 40.37% as of March 31, 2021, compared to 40.32% as of December 31, 2020. Interest-bearing deposits increased by $103.2 million, or 7.4%, to $1.50 billion as of March 31, 2021, with the largest increase in money market accounts. The increase in deposits was a result of customers receiving funds from government stimulus programs, customers depositing the proceeds from their PPP2 loans, and customers maintaining larger deposit balances, partially offset by the normal seasonal drawdowns as public entity customers distributed their year-end funds to other organizations.

Borrowings
Although deposits are our primary source of funds, we may, from time to time, utilize borrowings as a cost-effective source of funds when such borrowings can then be invested at a positive interest rate spread for additional capacity to fund loan demand or to meet our liquidity needs. We had no outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020.
Equity and Regulatory Capital Requirements
Total stockholders’ equity as of March 31, 2021, was $284.9 million, compared to $285.5 million as of December 31, 2020, a decrease of $567,000, or 0.2%. This decrease was attributable to a $7.3 million, net of tax, market adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income related to securities AFS, $1.0 million for the repurchase of shares, and $511,000 in cash dividends, partially offset by $8.1 million of net income for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and $149,000 of stock compensation.
On August 27, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program. The repurchase program authorizes the Company to purchase up to $3.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock through August 27, 2021. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices and based on market conditions, or in privately negotiated transactions. For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we repurchased 19,661 shares of our common stock, at an aggregate cost of $1.0 million. As of March 31, 2021, we had $1.9 million available for repurchasing our common stock under this program.
44
As part of the directive under the Economic Growth Act, on September 17, 2019, the FDIC and other federal bank regulatory agencies approved the CBLR framework. This optional framework became effective January 1, 2020, and is available as an alternative to the Basel III risk-based capital framework. The CBLR framework provides for a simple measure of capital adequacy for certain community banking organizations. Specifically, depository institutions and depository institution holding companies that have less than $10.0 billion in total consolidated assets and meet other qualifying criteria, including a Tier 1 leverage ratio of greater than 9.00% (subsequently temporarily reduced to 8.00% for 2020 and 8.50% for 2021 as a COVID-19 relief measure), are considered qualifying community banking organizations and are eligible to opt into the CBLR framework and replace the applicable Basel III risk-based capital requirements.
As of March 31, 2021, the Company and the Bank qualify for the CBLR framework. Management does not intend to utilize the CBLR framework.
LIQUIDITY AND ASSET-LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
Liquidity
Liquidity involves our ability to raise funds to support asset growth and potential acquisitions or to reduce assets to meet deposit withdrawals and other payment obligations, to maintain reserve requirements, and otherwise to operate on an ongoing basis and manage unexpected events. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, and the year ended December 31, 2020, liquidity needs were primarily met by core deposits, security and loan maturities, and cash flows from amortizing security and loan portfolios. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit outflows, mortgage prepayments, and prepayments on amortizing securities are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, and the competitive environment in which we operate, and therefore, these cash flows are monitored regularly.
Our most liquid assets are cash and short-term investments that include both interest-earning demand deposits and securities AFS. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period. Access to purchased funds from correspondent banks and overnight advances from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta are also available. Purchased funds from correspondent banks and overnight advances have been utilized on occasion to meet funding obligations, although we do not generally rely on these external funding sources.
Our primary source of funds is deposits, and our primary use of funds is the funding of loans. We invest excess deposits in interest-earning deposits at other banks or at the Federal Reserve, federal funds sold, securities, or other short-term liquid investments until the deposits are needed to fund loan growth or other obligations. Our average deposits increased $403.0 million, or 20.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to the average deposits for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. The increase in average total deposits was primarily due to customers receiving funds from various government stimulus programs, customers depositing the proceeds from their PPP2 loans, and customers maintaining larger deposit balances, partially offset by the normal seasonal draw downs as public entity customers distributed their year-end funds to other organizations. Our average total loans increased $7.4 million, or 0.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to average total loans for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020.
As of March 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $603.0 million compared to $447.2 million as of December 31, 2020. The increase of $155.8 million, or 34.8%, was a result of deposit growth creating additional liquidity, which was primarily deployed into interest-bearing deposits in other banks.
Our securities portfolio is another alternative source for meeting liquidity needs. Securities generate cash flow through principal payments and maturities, and they generally have readily available markets that allow for their conversion to cash. As of March 31, 2021, securities AFS totaled $515.9 million compared to $498.2 million as of December 31, 2020. However, certain investments within our securities portfolio are also used to secure specific deposit types, such as for public entities, which impacts their liquidity. As of March 31, 2021, securities with a carrying value of $110.4 million, or 21.4% of the securities AFS portfolio, were pledged to secure public entity deposits as compared to securities with a carrying value of $105.1 million, or 21.1% of the securities AFS portfolio, similarly pledged as of December 31, 2020. This increase of $5.3 million, or 5.0%, was primarily due to an increase in several public entity deposit accounts that occurred at the beginning of the first quarter. Public entity account balances generally fluctuate throughout the first quarter.
Other sources available for meeting liquidity needs include federal funds lines, FHLB advances, repurchase agreements, and other lines of credit. We maintain four federal funds lines of credit with commercial banks that provided for the availability to borrow up to an aggregate of $95.0 million in federal funds as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. FHLB advances may also be used to meet short-term liquidity needs, particularly if the prevailing interest rate on an FHLB advance compares favorably to the rates that would be required to attract the necessary deposits. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our net borrowing capacity from the FHLB was $625.9 million and $510.8 million, respectively. We also maintain an additional $6.0 million revolving line of credit at one of our correspondent banks. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had total borrowing capacity of $726.9 and $611.8 million, respectively, through these
45
combined funding sources. We had no outstanding balances from any of these funding sources as of March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020.
Commitments to Extend Credit
In the normal course of business, we enter into certain financial instruments, such as commitments to extend credit and letters of credit, to meet the financing needs of our customers. These commitments involve elements of credit risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk. Some instruments may not be reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements until they are funded, although they expose us to varying degrees of credit risk and interest rate risk in much the same way as funded loans.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers if all conditions of the commitment are met. These commitments include revolving and nonrevolving credit lines and are primarily issued for commercial purposes. Commitments to extend credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions.
As of March 31, 2021, we had $311.3 million in unfunded loan commitments and $11.8 million in commitments associated with outstanding standby letters of credit. We have monitored the requests for extensions of credit under these lines and have not identified any requests outside of the normal course of business that appear to be attributable to COVID-19 hardships. As of December 31, 2020, we had $283.3 million in unfunded loan commitments and $10.5 million in commitments associated with outstanding standby letters of credit. As commitments associated with letters of credit and commitments to extend credit may expire unused, the total outstanding commitments may not necessarily reflect the actual future cash funding requirements.
Interest Rate Sensitivity and Market Risk
As a financial institution, our primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Our asset-liability management policies provide management with guidelines for effective funds management, and we have established a measurement system for monitoring our net interest rate sensitivity position. We have historically managed our rate sensitivity position within our established policy guidelines.
Our exposure to interest rate risk is managed by Red River Bank’s Asset-Liability Management Committee. The committee formulates strategies based on appropriate levels of interest rate risk and monitors the results of those strategies. In determining the appropriate level of interest rate risk, the committee considers the impact on both earnings and capital given the current outlook on interest rates, regional economies, liquidity, business strategies, and other related factors.
In conjunction with our interest rate risk management process, on a quarterly basis, we run various simulation models including a static balance sheet and dynamic growth balance sheet. These models test the impact on net interest income and fair value of equity from changes in market interest rates under various scenarios. Under the static and dynamic growth models, rates are shocked instantaneously and ramped rates change over a 12-month and 24-month horizon based upon parallel yield curve shifts. Parallel shock scenarios assume instantaneous parallel movements in the yield curve compared to a flat yield curve scenario. Our nonparallel rate shock model involves analysis of interest income and expense under various changes in the shape of the yield curve.
Bank policy regarding interest rate risk simulations performed by our risk model currently specifies that for instantaneous parallel shifts of the yield curve, estimated net interest income at risk for the subsequent one-year period should not decline by more than 10.0% for a 100 bp shift and 15.0% for a 200 bp shift. Bank policy regarding economic value at risk simulations performed by our risk model currently specifies that for instantaneous parallel shifts of the yield curve, estimated fair value of equity for the subsequent one-year period should not decline by more than 20.0% for a 100 bp shift and 25.0% for a 200 bp shift.
46
The following table shows the impact of an instantaneous and parallel change in rates, at the levels indicated, and summarizes the simulated change in net interest income and fair value of equity over a 12-month horizon as of the dates indicated.

The results above, as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, demonstrate that our balance sheet is asset sensitive, which means our assets have the opportunity to reprice at a faster pace than our liabilities, over the 12-month horizon. We have also observed that, historically, our deposit interest rates have adjusted more slowly than the change in the federal funds rate. This assumption is incorporated into our risk model and is generally not reflected in a gap analysis, which is the process by which we measure the repricing gap between interest rate-sensitive assets versus interest rate-sensitive liabilities.
The impact of our floating rate loans and floating rate transaction deposits are also reflected in the results shown in the above table. As of March 31, 2021, floating rate loans were 14.5% of the loans HFI, and floating rate transaction deposits were 6.2% of interest-bearing transaction deposits.
The assumptions incorporated into the model are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely measure future net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from the model’s simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes, as well as changes in market conditions and the application and timing of various management strategies and the slope of the yield curve.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Our accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. Certain financial measures used by management to evaluate our operating performance are discussed in this report as supplemental non-GAAP performance measures. In accordance with the SEC’s rules, we classify a financial measure as being a non-GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time in the U.S.
Management and the board of directors review tangible book value per share, tangible common equity to tangible assets, and PPP-adjusted metrics as part of managing operating performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures that we discuss in this report should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate the non-GAAP financial measures that are discussed in this report may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names. It is important to understand how such other banking organizations calculate and name their financial measures similar to the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this report when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures.
Tangible Assets, Tangible Equity, and Tangible Book Value
Tangible Book Value Per Common Share. Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP measure commonly used by investors, financial analysts, and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in changes from period to period in book value per common share exclusive of changes in intangible assets. We calculate tangible book value per common share as total stockholders’ equity, less intangible assets, divided by the outstanding number of shares of our common stock at the end of the relevant period. Intangible assets have the effect of increasing total book value while not increasing tangible book value. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for tangible book value per common share is book value per common share.

Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets. Tangible common equity to tangible assets is a non-GAAP measure generally used by investors, financial analysts, and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the relative changes from period to period of tangible common equity to tangible assets, each exclusive of changes in intangible assets. Intangible assets have the effect of increasing both total stockholders’ equity and assets while not increasing our tangible common equity or tangible assets. We calculate tangible common equity as total stockholders’ equity less intangible assets, and we calculate tangible assets as total assets less intangible assets. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for tangible common equity to tangible assets is total common stockholders’ equity to total assets.
As a result of previous acquisitions, we have a small amount of intangible assets. As of March 31, 2021, total intangible assets were $1.5 million, which is less than 1.0% of total assets.
The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, stockholders’ equity to tangible common equity, and assets to tangible assets, and presents related resulting ratios.

PPP-Adjusted Metrics
In the second quarter of 2020, Red River Bank originated 1,384 PPP1 loans totaling $199.0 million. With the passing of the Economic Aid Act in December of 2020, Red River Bank issued additional PPP1 loans and new PPP2 loans in the first quarter of 2021. As of March 31, 2021, new PPP1 loans were minimal, and we originated 436 PPP2 loans totaling $52.6 million. As of March 31, 2021, unamortized PPP origination fees were $3.4 million, resulting in $119.4 million of PPP loans, net of deferred income, or 7.5% of loans HFI.
PPP loans were implemented as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic and have characteristics that are different than the rest of our loan portfolio, including being short-term in nature (24 months or less for most PPP1 loans and 60 months or less for PPP2 loans and the additional PPP1 loans, depending on loan forgiveness timing), having a lower than market interest rate, and only being originated during specified time periods during the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of these factors, management believes that PPP-adjusted metrics provide a more accurate portrayal of certain aspects of the Company's financial condition and performance. Accordingly, we believe it is important to investors to see certain of our metrics with PPP loans excluded. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for PPP-adjusted metrics is total loans HFI.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
There were no material changes or developments during the reporting period with respect to methodologies that we use when developing critical accounting estimates as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and with general practices within the financial services industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under current circumstances. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis. Use of alternative assumptions may have resulted in significantly different estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed by the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply judgment in evaluating its controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the first quarter of 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company is named as a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit, Aeron Averette v. Red River Bancshares, filed on August 28, 2020, in the 19th Judicial District Court of the State of Louisiana. The lawsuit alleges the Bank wrongfully imposed multiple non-sufficient funds fees on what the plaintiff describes as a single item presented for payment, thereby resulting in the Bank breaching its customer account agreement, abusing its rights, and being unjustly enriched. The plaintiff purports to represent a class consisting of all account holders in Louisiana who incurred similar charges by the Bank within the applicable prescriptive period. The plaintiff seeks unspecified damages, costs, fees, attorney’s fees, and general and equitable relief for herself and the purported class. The Company and Bank deny the allegations and are vigorously defending this matter. The Bank filed an exception of no cause of action in District Court as to the three grounds alleged by the plaintiff. On May 10, 2021, the 19th Judicial District Court ruled in the Bank's favor. The plaintiff may amend her petition to set forth a different cause of action or appeal the decision. At this stage of the lawsuit, we cannot determine the probability of a materially adverse result or reasonably estimate the potential exposure, if any.
From time to time, we, including our subsidiaries, are or may be involved in various legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, neither we, nor any of our subsidiaries, are involved in such legal proceedings that the resolution is expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. However, one or more unfavorable outcomes in these ordinary claims or litigation against us or our subsidiaries could have a material adverse effect for the period in which they are resolved. In addition, regardless of their merits or ultimate outcomes, such matters are costly, divert management’s attention, and may materially and adversely affect our reputation or that of our subsidiaries, even if resolved favorably.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
For information regarding risk factors that could affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations, see the information in "Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The offer and sale of shares in the IPO were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-230798), which the SEC declared effective on May 2, 2019. FIG Partners, LLC and Stephens Inc. acted as underwriters. The offering commenced on May 3, 2019, and did not terminate until the sale of all of the shares offered. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our IPO as described in our Prospectus that was filed with the SEC on May 3, 2019, pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act.
