A REPORT FROM THE CHAIRMAN

From the beginning, it has been top of mind for the credit union to remember where we came from, the successes we experienced and the growth we have been so fortunate to achieve. We are continuously striving to improve the member experience and remain on the cutting edge of technology. We established video chat with members to create an in-person channel to walk through signing loan documents and to answer any questions members may have. While we may connect via a personal video teller or an online chat; these connections are similar to a face time or an instant chat with family and friends. First Community’s membership increased to an impressive 142,875 members and assets grew by 9.6% to end the year at $1.96 Billion. Member loan rates were some of the lowest rates in the market to support members in achieving their financial goals. Ultimately, we ended the year at $1.26 Billion in gross loans. The breakdown of our loan portfolio on the bottom of page 3.

FCCU 2021 ANNUAL REPORT

With a continued focus on enhancements for our members’ lives, we looked at banking through the lens of the consumer to simplify banking. First Community leads the way as a high-tech, high-touch credit union, offering an array of digital services with the latest security to ensure members have access to the technology they need. As we all know, technology is not a one-and-done situation. We are committed to staying ahead of the curve on technological changes, and securing your finances is our number one priority.

PG. 2

On behalf of the Board of First Community, we thank our members for trusting us with their finances. We remain committed to supporting our members and community while ensuring we continue to be financially strong.

Doug Wilcher Our commitment to community remained strong as represented by our executive team who pour their time into an organization they are Chairman of the Board passionate about, serving on the board of a community organization. We donated over $100,000 to support local communities as well as we supported charities, including the American Heart Association, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Spindletop Charities, Children’s Miracle Network, local food banks and more. In addition, we once again awarded seven high school seniors with a scholarship to assist with their college/university education.

A MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

As I took the helm as CEO of First Community, it was important to reflect on the solid history that First Community has built over 67+ years. In 1954, a couple of educators in Spring Branch ISD saw the importance and value of having a credit union. These visionaries began the credit union to help their co-workers obtain an all-important loan and have a safe place to secure and grow their money while providing a larger purpose of being a part-owner of the credit union. Growing from assets of $2,214 in 1954 to ending 2021 at $1.96 Billion in assets tells a story of perseverance, a community working together to support each other and ultimately reaching exponential success. We remain humble and remember where we came from; after all, our future growth reflects our strong history. 2021 was a tremendously successful year thanks to a strong leadership team and employees’ dedication. We enhanced innovation to reach our members in new ways, and expanding our services was at the forefront.

TJ Tijerina

President/CEO

Banking is not just transactional; it is personal. Every financial journey is unique and our experienced team provides well-rounded guidance and knowledge customized for each situation to empower members to achieve their financial goals. We commit ourselves to members’ successes and are privileged to be your financial partner for life. Education is a staple in life; the more we share our knowledge, the stronger we all will be. Whether members are in their financial journey from building credit, building wealth, preparing for retirement and everything in between, we believe all members can achieve financial success; we’ll be by your side to walk with you through this journey. With strong roots in our community, our increased involvement and reach this year made a more considerable impact, one we will continue in the future. I am proud to share that all Executive Vice Presidents work with a charity of their choice in the Houston community, supporting the fight against hunger, giving to underprivileged children, donating time to mentor children, working with those with Autism, and so much more. Our employees give their time and donate to support the American Heart Walk, the MS 150, Children’s Miracle Network and numerous organizations they volunteer at on their own time. Together, we all build a stronger community. We thank our members for choosing First Community and are privileged to empower our members so they can achieve their financial goals. As we look to 2022, we will maintain a sound financial position by staying true to our core values. I thank the Board of Directors for their support. As an engaged board of directors with a passionate executive leadership team, First Community is well-positioned for expansion in the Houston community and beyond.

CREDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The core responsibility of the Credit Committee is reviewing the credit union’s lending policies and practices. We looked at our lending process and simplified the loan process providing increased efficiency and a seamless experience for our members. We added loan specialists to all lending areas to further streamline the process, facilitating quick decisions and faster funding to help members in a timely manner. Loan officers reviewed 45,467 applications for auto loans, credit cards, personal loans and real estate loans. FCCU funded $515.42 Million and closed the year with a loan portfolio of $1.264 Billion.

Based on an in-depth independent audit of the operations of First Community Credit Union, the CPA firm of OCM & Co., CPAs and Advisors: A Doeren Mayhew Firm concluded that, in their opinion, the financial position of FCCU, the operations and cash flow for the year ending December 31, 2021, conforms with generally accepted accounting principles and practices.

FINANCIAL GROWTH

As families searched for a new home, houses proved to be limited. Striving to find the right financing option for members, through our real estate programs, FCCU was able to help 719 families find their forever home. No matter what your lending need is, we are honored to help you achieve your financial goals and will find the right loan that fits you.

PG. 3

Supporting members with competitive rates and a fast loan process is our priority. From application to closing online, for most loans, we’re able to respect everyone’s busy lives. Whether finalizing your auto financing online or at the dealership, we are here to get you into the new auto you desire.

As a state-chartered credit union, Sally Moseley FCCU has additional reviews of our Chairman, Audit Committee lending and accounting practices by the Texas Credit Union Department and by Federal Examiners with the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). In their annual audit, Texas State Examiners and NCUA Examiners found First Community sound in both policy and practice.

RETIREMENTS AND IN MEMORIAM

Ron Downing served as CEO of First Community Credit Union from 1977 – 2021, retiring after 43 years of dedicated service. Ron was instrumental in creating a first class financial institution growing the credit union to $1.9 Billion in assets. We thank Ron for his many years of service and for growing First Community to the third largest credit union in the Greater Houston Area.

ROB HAUCK

After 46 years of dedicated service, Arlie Beckendorf retired from our Board of Directors. Arlie has been an integral part of the board and FCCU, and will be greatly missed. Arlie began as one of the original board members of First Community and assisted in guiding the success of FCCU. Arlie’s vast knowledge of the credit union allowed him to mentor so many over the years. We thank Arlie for his selfless service and wish him the best.

Sadly, we lost our beloved Board Member, Rob Hauck, as a result of a tragic accident. Rob served as a board member from 2013 – 2021. Rob always had a friendly smile, took a personal interest in everyone he met, and cared for the members of First Community. Rob was a crucial member of the board of directors and is sorely missed.

Continuing our passion of giving back, we connected with numerous new community organizations to expand our reach further. Partnering with the Barbara Bush Literacy Foundation’s My Home Library Program, we provided books to the entire fourth grade at a local school to encourage continued reading and knowledge building at home. In addition, we partnered with Spindletop Charities, an organization dedicated to the betterment of the children. Collaborating for our Annual Holiday Toy Drive, we donated over 800 toys to ensure kids had a gift to unwrap.

Stars in the Classroom (SITC) honors the extraordinary impact that teachers have on our future generations day in and day out. We are proud to honor deserving teachers with well-deserved recognition for their excellence. A donation of $500 is made to the winning teacher’s school district in their honor. In addition, we continued awarding scholarships to high school graduates through our annual scholarship program to assist with their college/university education.
