Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $1.3 million , or $0.17 per diluted common share, compared to $3.9 million , or $0.49 per diluted common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 . Net income for the six months ended June 30 , 2021 totaled $3.1 million , or $0.37 per diluted common share, compared to $4.8 million , or $0.59 per diluted common share for the six months ended June 30, 2020 .
Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $3.9 million , a decrease of $3.4 from $7.3 million for the same period in 2020. Noninterest income is largely driven by the Company's mortgage banking division, which produced net revenue of $2.6 million on $119 million of mortgage sale volume during the three months ended June 30 , 2021. The primary driver of the decrease in mortgage banking income period-over-period was a decrease in margin on loan sales. Additionally, growth in the retail channel drove the increased utilization of bank portfolio products. This negatively affected gain on sale during the quarter by approximately $0.4 million . Also included in noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 is a $0.3 million gain on the sale of the Bank's PPP loan portfolio.
Noninterest expense increased by $1.4 million or 19.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The increase in noninterest expense is largely driven by an increase of $1.1 million in compensation and benefits. Included in compensation and benefits for the current quarter is approximately $0.4 million in severance expense. The additional increase in compensation and benefits is driven mainly by increased headcount year-over-year.

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $6.2 million , representing an increase of $0.3 million , or 4.2%, from the three months ended June 30 , 2020. The increase in net interest income over the period was driven mainly by a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, which decreased to 0.40% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from 0.84% for the same period in 2020. Improvements in costs of interest-bearing liabilities were offset to some extent by continued downward pressure on asset yield. Yield on interest-earning assets decreased to 3.69% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from 4.20% for the same period in 2020. The decrease was driven by both a change in balance sheet mix and an overall decrease in interest rates stemming from decreases in the federal funds target rate during 2020.
Net interest income was $11.8 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30 , 2020. The minimal change in net interest income was driven by a decrease in yield on interest-earning assets offset by a decrease in costs of interest-bearing liabilities.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this news release contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, such as statements relating to future plans and expectations, and are thus prospective. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements that are not historical facts, and other statements identified by words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "intends," "plans," "targets," and "projects," as well as similar expressions. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove to be inaccurate. Therefore, we can give no assurance that the results contemplated in the forward-looking statements will be realized. The inclusion of this forward-looking information should not be construed as a representation by the Company or any person that the future events, plans, or expectations contemplated by the Company will be achieved.
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements: (1) competitive pressures among depository and other financial institutions may increase significantly and have an effect on pricing, spending, third-party relationships and revenues; (2) the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct operations may be different than expected resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in the credit quality or a reduced demand for credit, including the resultant effect on the Company's loan portfolio and allowance for loan losses; (3) the rate of delinquencies and amounts of charge-offs, the level of allowance for loan loss, the rates of loan growth, or adverse changes in asset quality in our loan portfolio, which may result in increased credit risk-related losses and expenses; (4) the risk that the preliminary financial information reported herein and our current preliminary analysis will be different when our review is finalized; (5) changes in the U.S. legal and regulatory framework including, but not limited to, the Dodd-Frank Act and regulations adopted thereunder; (6) adverse conditions in the stock market, the public debt market and other capital markets (including changes in interest rate conditions) could have a negative impact on the Company, including the value of its MSR asset; (7) the business related to acquisitions may not be integrated successfully or such integration may take longer to accomplish than expected; (8) the expected cost savings and any revenue synergies from acquisitions may not be fully realized within expected timeframes; and (9) disruption from acquisitions may make it more difficult to maintain relationships with clients, associates or suppliers. Moreover, a trade war or other governmental action related to tariffs or international trade agreements or policies, as well as Covid-19 or other potential epidemics or pandemics, have the potential to negatively impact ours and/or our customers' costs, demand for our customers' products, and/or the U.S. economy or certain sectors thereof and, thus, adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the Company or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made.
