Conference Call and Webcast Scheduled for Tuesday, October 25, 2022 at

11:00 a.m. Pacific Time/2:00 p.m. Eastern Time

 

 

Third Quarter 2022 Highlights 

 

Record net income of $16.7 million, or $0.87 diluted earnings per share, increased $1.2 million, or 7.6%, from the prior quarter and increased $1.3 million, or 8.4%, from the third quarter of 2021

 

Loans grew by $176.2 million, or 22.9% annualized, from the end of the prior quarter

 

Declared $0.14 per share quarterly dividend

 

Los Angeles, CA, October 24, 2022 – RBB Bancorp (NASDAQ:RBB) and its subsidiaries, Royal Business Bank (“the Bank”) and RBB Asset Management Company (“RAM”), collectively referred to herein as “the Company,” announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

 

The Company reported record net income of $16.7 million, or $0.87 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to net income of $15.5 million, or $0.80 diluted earnings per share, and $15.4 million, or $0.77 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. 

 

“Increasing rates continued to drive performance to record levels in the third quarter,” said David Morris, President and CEO of RBB Bancorp. “Expenses declined as expected due to the near conclusion of the Board of Directors investigation, and net interest income increased to a record $39.0 million as loans grew and margins improved. We are starting to see pressure on deposit costs which we anticipate will continue over the next few quarters.”

“Royal Business Bank had another quarter of excellent results and loan growth in the third quarter,” said Dr. James Kao, Chairman of RBB Bancorp. “We believe it demonstrates the value of the franchise and the strength of David’s leadership and management's efforts over the past few quarters.  We are also pleased to welcome David to the Board of Directors and to his new role as President and CEO of RBB Bancorp.”

Key Performance Ratios

 

Net income of $16.7 million for the third quarter of 2022 produced an annualized return on average assets ("ROA") of 1.72% and an annualized return on average shareholders' equity ("ROE") of 13.93% compared to an annualized ROA of 1.60% and an annualized ROE of 13.30% for the second quarter of 2022. The efficiency ratio, see definition in Selected Financial Highlights section, for the third quarter of 2022 was 40.22%, compared to 43.47% for the prior quarter. 

 

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

 

Net interest income, before provision for loan losses, was $39.0 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $37.1 million for the second quarter of 2022. The $1.9 million increase was primarily attributable to a $150.6 million decrease in lower-yielding cash and a $211.1 million increase in higher yielding commercial real estate and mortgage loans. Accretion of purchase discounts from prior acquisitions contributed $112,000 to net interest income in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $75,000 in the second quarter of 2022.

 

Compared to the third quarter of 2021, net interest income, before provision for loan losses, increased $7.4 million from $31.6 million. The $7.4 million increase was primarily attributable to a $202.8 million decrease in lower-yielding cash and a $396.7 million increase in higher yielding commercial real estate and mortgage loans.

 

Net interest margin was 4.31% for the third quarter of 2022, an increase of 23 basis points from 4.08% in the second quarter of 2022. Loan discount accretion contributed 1 basis point to the net interest margin in the third quarter of 2022 and in the second quarter of 2022. 

 

Noninterest Income

 

Noninterest income was $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of $887,000 from $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by a $757,000 decrease in gain on sale of corporate real estate, a $107,000 decrease in gain on derivatives and a $93,000 decrease in recoveries on purchased loans, partially offset by a $252,000 increase in loan servicing fees during the quarter. 

 

The Company sold $3.8 million in FNMA qualified mortgage loans for a net gain of $135,000 during the third quarter of 2022 compared to $12.6 million in FNMA qualified mortgage loans sold for a net gain of $284,000 during the second quarter of 2022. The Company sold $2.5 million in SBA loans during the third quarter of 2022 for a net gain of $130,000, compared to $1.1 million SBA loans sold for a net gain of $60,000 during the second quarter of 2022.

 

Compared to the third quarter of 2021, noninterest income decreased by $3.0 million from $5.5 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $1.8 million CDFI RRP award received in the third quarter of 2021, a $1.5 million decrease in gain on sale of loans due to rate hikes that caused both sellable loan volume and premium decreases and a $193,000 decrease in gain on derivatives, partially offset by a $662,000 increase in loan servicing fees.

Noninterest Expense

 

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2022 was $16.7 million, compared to $17.6 million for the second quarter of 2022. The $915,000 decrease was primarily attributable to a $1.2 million decrease in legal and professional expenses as the Company is getting close to completing the Board special investigation and a $137,000 decrease in marketing and business promotion expenses, partially offset by a $246,000 increase in directors RSU compensation expense and director fees and a $175,000 increase in occupancy and equipment expenses.

 

Noninterest expense increased from $14.4 million in the third quarter of 2021. The $2.3 million increase was primarily due to a $789,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits expenses due to new hires and salary adjustments to reflect economic inflation, a reversal of $416,000 valuation allowance on mortgage servicing rights in third quarter of 2021, a $275,000 increase in director RSU compensation expense and travel expense, a $341,000 increase in data processing expenses, a $331,000 increase in legal and professional expenses and a $160,000 increase in occupancy and equipment expenses.

 

Income Taxes

 

The effective tax rate was 27.8% for the third quarter of 2022, 29.6% for the second quarter of 2022, and 28.5% for the third quarter of 2021. The Company recognized a tax benefit from stock option exercises of $276,000, $279,000 and $534,000 for the third quarter of 2022, the second quarter of 2022, and the third quarter of 2021, respectively. The Company amended its 2020 tax returns and 2018 California state tax return and recorded a total of $300,000 tax expense reduction in the third quarter of 2022.

 

Loan and Securities Portfolio

 

Loans held for investment, net of deferred fees and discounts, totaled $3.22 billion as of September 30, 2022, an increase of $175.0 million from June 30, 2022, and an increase of $380.6 million from September 30, 2021. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to a $150.6 million increase in single-family residential mortgage loans and a $60.4 million increase in commercial real estate loans, partially offset by a $33.2 million decrease in commercial and industrial loans and a $3.3 million decrease in construction & land development loans. The increase from September 30, 2021 was primarily due to a $381.6 million increase in single-family residential mortgages and an $81.7 million increase in construction & land development loans offset by a $71.6 million decrease in commercial and industrial loans and a $26.9 million decrease in SBA loans.

 

During the third quarter of 2022, single-family residential mortgage production was $191.8 million while net payoffs and paydowns were $36.2 million. During the second quarter of 2022, single-family residential mortgage production was $216.9 million while payoffs and paydowns were $66.8 million.

 

There were $1.2 million mortgage loans held for sale as of September 30, 2022 compared to none as of June 30, 2022 and $15.2 million as of September 30, 2021. The Company originated approximately $1.8 million in FNMA mortgage loans for sale for the third quarter of 2022, compared with $1.2 million during the prior quarter. 

 

In the third quarter of 2022, SBA loan production was $7.7 million and total SBA loan sales were $2.5 million compared to SBA loan production of $1.4 million and total SBA loan sales of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2022. 

 

As of September 30, 2022, the Bank’s total available-for-sale securities maturing in over 12 months were $237.9 million. As of September 30, 2022 the Bank recorded gross unrealized losses of $32.5 million compared to gross unrealized losses of $2.3 million as of December 31, 2022.

 

Deposits

 

Deposits were $3.0 billion at September 30, 2022, which was a decrease of $67.9 million compared to June 30, 2022. During the third quarter of 2022, noninterest-bearing deposits decreased by $128.7 million due to the continued reduction of a single deposit relationship, interest-bearing non-maturity deposits increased by $13.8 million, and time deposits increased by $47.0 million. As of September 30, 2022, there were $105.5 million in brokered CDs, as compared to $50.0 million brokered CDs as of June 30, 2022 and $2.4 million brokered CDs as of September 30, 2021. Compared to September 30, 2021, total deposits decreased by $8.1 million primarily due to a $50.3 million decrease in time deposits and a $49.4 million decrease in interest-bearing non-maturity deposits, partially offset by a $91.5 million increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposits.

 

Asset Quality

 

Nonperforming assets totaled $11.8 million, or 0.30% of total assets at September 30, 2022, compared to $14.2 million, or 0.36% of total assets at June 30, 2022. The decrease in nonperforming assets was due to the pay-off of certain nonperforming loans in the third quarter of 2022. Nonperforming assets consist of other real estate owned, loans modified under troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”), non-accrual loans, and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest.

 

Our 30-89 day delinquent loans, excluding non-accrual loans increased to $39.9 million as of June 30, 2022 compared to $8.3 million as of June 30, 2022. The $31.6 million increase in past due loans was due in part to: one construction loan of $11.3 million on a project that is substantially complete that was delinquent for 52 days due to administrative delays in processing an extension, which was processed as of October 6, 2022, and one commercial real estate loan of $8.8 million that was delinquent for 52 days due to administrative delays in the processing of an extension, which was processed as of October 3, 2022.

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $1.8 million for the third quarter of 2022 which was primarily attributable to loan growth. Provision for loan losses were $915,000 in the second quarter of 2022.

Return on Average Tangible Common Equity

 

Management measures return on average tangible common equity (“ROATCE”) to assess the Company’s capital strength and business performance and believes these are helpful to investors as an additional tool for further understanding our performance. Tangible equity excludes goodwill and other intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights), and is reviewed by banking and financial institution regulators when assessing a financial institution’s capital adequacy. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. The following table reconciles return on average tangible common equity to its most comparable GAAP measure:

Non-core Funding Dependency Ratio

 

The Bank measures core deposits by reviewing all relationships over $250,000 on a quarterly basis. We track all deposit relationships over $250,000 on a quarterly basis and consider a relationship to be core if there are any three or more of the following: (i) relationships with us (as a director or shareholder); (ii) deposits within our market area; (iii) additional non-deposit services with us; (iv) electronic banking services with us; (v) active demand deposit account with us; (vi) deposits at market interest rates; and (vii) longevity of the relationship with us. We consider all deposit relationships under $250,000 as a core relationship except for time deposits originated through an internet service. This differs from the traditional definition of core deposits which is demand and savings deposits plus time deposits less than $250,000. We believe it is the proper way to measure our core and non-core deposits under regulatory guidelines. The following table reconciles the non-core dependency ratio.
