“I am proud of the CapStar team for their remarkable dedication during an extremely challenging operating environment,” said Timothy K. Schools, CapStar’s president and CEO.  “In keeping with our vision, mission and values, we have been unwavering in our commitment to support our employees, clients and communities through the public health crisis. Our non-financial center work force mobilized to working 100% remotely and continues to provide outstanding service. Importantly, we prioritized client assistance by offering loan deferrals and took a leadership position in facilitating PPP loans to protect all local business – both clients and non-clients – as they navigate the challenges presented by COVID-19.  Our inclusive and response-driven approach is supporting our communities and presents the prospect for many new and expanded relationships.”“In the second quarter, we delivered solid financial results with strong pre-tax pre-provision revenue led by our mortgage and Tri-Net divisions,” continued Schools.  “During the quarter, we saw a significant rise in both loans related to PPP and in deposits which will bring short-term compression to our net interest margin and we continued to actively monitor our portfolio to identify potential weaknesses.  On July 1, we completed our merger with The Bank of Waynesboro and The First National Bank of Manchester, creating an approximately $3 billion financial institution which will enhance our funding profile, diversify our loan portfolio, expand our geographic reach, and improve our net interest margin, efficiency ratio, and return on assets.”Soundness
