RBB Bancorp Reports Third Quarter Earnings for 2020

Conference Call and Webcast Scheduled for Tuesday, October 27, 2020 at

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

 

 

Third Quarter 2020 Highlights

 

Net income of $8.5 million, or $0.43 diluted earnings per share

   

Loans held for investment increased by $160.5 million, or 24.6% annualized growth, from the end of the prior quarter

   

Total deposits (excluding brokered deposits) increased by $160.2 million, or 26.2% annualized growth, from the end of the prior quarter

   

Nonperforming assets to total assets of 0.54%, improving 2 basis points from the prior quarter

   
Loans modified under the CARES Act decreased by 76% from the end of the prior quarter and now represent 4% of loans outstanding
   
Net interest margin of 3.59% increased by 17 basis points from the prior quarter and was flat from the third quarter of 2019
   
Announced resumption of our stock repurchase program

 

Los Angeles, CA, October 26, 2020RBB 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, 2020.

 

The Company reported net income of $8.5 million, or $0.43 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to net income of $6.5 million, or $0.33 diluted earnings per share, and $8.0 million, or $0.39 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively.

 

“Our performance in the third quarter demonstrated the strength of our growing franchise as we generated strong earnings, increasing net interest margin, and asset and deposit growth,” said Mr. Alan Thian, Chairman, President and CEO of RBB Bancorp. “Effective management of our loan exposure in prior quarters – which resulted in lower concentrations of CRE and C&I loans relative to our peers – created an opportunity to selectively originate attractive loans in markets in which our competitors were forced to pull back.  Strong deposit growth was accompanied by declines in corresponding costs as we benefited from ongoing efforts to improve our deposit franchise and a declining rate environment.  Our asset quality remains solid and we remain well capitalized with ample access to liquidity.  Loans modified under the CARES Act outstanding decreased 76% over the quarter to just 4% of loans outstanding.”

 

“Our board of directors approved the reinstatement of the stock repurchase program to the maximum of what the plan allows, which will further enhance shareholder value,” Mr. Thian concluded.

Key Performance Ratios

 

Net income of  $8.5 million for the third quarter of 2020 produced an annualized return on average assets of  1.05%, an annualized return on average tangible common equity of 9.81%, and an annualized return on average equity of 8.06%. This compares to an annualized return on average assets of 0.83%, an annualized return on average tangible common equity of 7.77%, and an annualized return on average equity of 6.34% for the second quarter of 2020. The efficiency ratio for the third quarter of 2020 was 46.63%, compared to 54.40% for the prior quarter.  The improvement in the efficiency ratio was primarily due to improved net interest income.

 

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

 

Net interest income, before provision for loan losses, was $27.3 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $25.0 million for the second quarter of 2020. The $2.2 million increase was primarily attributable to a $71.8 million increase in average earning assets and a $37.4 million increase in average noninterest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a $27.0 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income was also favorably impacted by a 17 basis point increase in the net interest margin. Accretion of purchase discounts from prior acquisitions contributed $634,000 to net interest income in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $818,000 in the second quarter of 2020.

 

Compared to the third quarter of 2019, net interest income, before provision for loan losses, increased $3.7 million from $23.5 million. The increase was primarily attributable to a $418.9 million increase in average earning assets and a $170.3 million increase in average noninterest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a $268.1 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin was unchanged at 3.59% between the third quarters of 2020 and 2019.  The increases in average earning assets and total deposits were primarily due to the Pacific Global Bank (“PGB”) acquisition and increased loan and deposit originations.

 

Net interest margin was 3.59% for the third quarter of 2020, an increase from 3.42% in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to a 51 basis point decrease in the cost of total deposits and a 48 basis point decrease in the cost of borrowings (FHLB advances, long-term debt and subordinated debentures), partially offset by a 2 basis point decrease in the yield on average earning assets. Loan discount accretion contributed 8 basis points to the net interest margin in the third quarter of 2020, compared to 14 basis points in the second quarter of 2020.

 

Noninterest Income

 

Noninterest income was $2.7 million for the third quarter of 2020, an increase of $519,000 from $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was driven by an increase in gain on loan sales of $679,000 as the Company sold $28.2 million more loans in the third quarter than in the prior quarter generally due to increased market activity following the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company expects gain on sale of loan income to return to prior levels in the fourth quarter.

 

The Company sold $17.7 million in FNMA qualified mortgage loans for a net gain of $537,000 and sold $11.8 million in non-qualified mortgage loans to private investors for a gain of $227,000 during the third quarter of 2020.  This compared to $5.2 million in FNMA qualified mortgage loans for a net gain of $105,000 during the second quarter of 2020.  The Company sold no SBA loans during the third quarter of 2020, compared to $1.4 million in SBA loans sold for a net gain of $70,000 during the second quarter of 2020.

 

Compared to the third quarter of 2019, noninterest income decreased by $73,000 from $2.8 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $281,000 in loan servicing fees.

Noninterest Expense

 

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2020 was $14.0 million, compared to $14.8 million for the second quarter of 2020. The $855,000 decrease was primarily attributable to a $424,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits expenses, $214,000 decrease in merger expenses, $167,000 decrease in occupancy and equipment expenses, partially offset by a $318,000 increase in data processing expenses and a $128,000 increase in insurance and regulatory assessments. The decrease in salary and employee benefits was primarily attributable to severance paid in the second quarter for employees affected by restructuring related to the completion of the PGB acquisition.

 

RBB incurred $62,000 in merger and conversion expenses in the third quarter of 2020, of which $20,000 is a reversal of expenses related to the First American International Corp. acquisition and $82,000 to the PGB acquisition, a decrease of $214,000 from the prior quarter.

 

Noninterest expense increased from $13.8 million in the third quarter of 2019. The $192,000 increase was primarily due to a $226,000 increase in data processing expense, a $240,000 increase in legal and professional expense, and a $190,000 increase in insurance and regulatory assessments. These were partially offset by a $122,000 decrease salaries and employee benefit expense, a $117,000 decrease in marketing and business promotion expense.

 

Income Taxes

 

The effective tax rate was 29.8% for the third quarter of 2020, 30.8% for the second quarter of 2020, and 31.5% for the third quarter of 2019. The slightly lower effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2020 was a result of affordable housing tax credits.

 

Loan Portfolio

 

Loans held for investment, net of deferred fees and discounts, totaled $2.8 billion as of September 30, 2020, an increase of $160.5 million from June 30, 2020, and an increase of $629.0 million from September 30, 2019. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to organic loan growth. Single-family residential mortgages decreased by $10.9 million, net of payoffs, paydowns and loan sales, and was driven by loan sales. Commercial real estate loans increased by $74.9 million, construction and land development loans increased by $37.8 million, SBA loans increased by $7.1 million, and commercial and industrial loans increased by $50.4 million.

 

During the third quarter of 2020, single-family residential mortgage production was $82.6 million (mortgage loans held for investment and held for sale), payoffs and paydowns were $45.7 million, and single-family residential mortgage loan sales were $29.5 million. During the second quarter of 2020, single-family residential mortgage production was $117.6 million, payoffs and paydowns were $36.0 million, and loan sales were $1.4 million.

 

Mortgage loans held for sale were $23.9 million as of September 30, 2020, an increase of $8.4 million from $15.5 million at June 30, 2020 and a decrease of $235.4 million from $259.3 million as of September 30, 2019. The Company originated approximately $28.7 million in mortgage loans for sale for the third quarter of 2020, compared with $19.0 million during the prior quarter. In the third quarter, SBA loan production was $7.2 million. In the prior quarter, SBA loan production was $33.1 million, which consisted exclusively of PPP loans and total loan sales were $1.4 million.

 

Deposits

 

Deposits were $2.6 billion at September 30, 2020, an increase of $160.2 million from June 30, 2020, and an increase of $445.0 million from September 30, 2019, excluding brokered deposits. The increase in total deposits from the prior quarter was primarily attributable to organic deposit growth. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $66.5 million and interest-bearing non-maturity deposits increased by $53.7 million. Time deposits increased by $55.0 million, including a $15.0 million increase in brokered CDs. As of September 30, 2020, time deposits included $17.4 million in brokered CDs, as compared to $2.4 million as of June 30, 2020 and $102.6 million as of September 30, 2019.

 

Asset Quality

 

Nonperforming assets totaled $18.3 million, or 0.54% of total assets at September 30, 2020, compared to $17.5 million, or 0.56%, of total assets at June 30, 2020. The decrease in nonperforming assets was primarily due to an increase in total assets. Nonperforming assets consist of OREO, loans modified under troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”), non-accrual loans, and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest.

 

Loans held-for-investment 30 to 89 days past due decreased by $2.2 million to $21.7 million at September 30, 2020 from $23.9 million at June 30, 2020.

In the third quarter of 2020, there were $47,000 in net charge-offs, down from $320,000 in the prior quarter.

 

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $3.9 million for the third quarter of 2020, an increase from $3.0 million in the prior quarter, primarily attributable to the higher loan balances and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

The allowance for loan losses totaled $26.6 million, or 0.97% of loans held for investment at September 30, 2020, compared with $22.8 million, or 0.88%, of total loans at June 30, 2020.

Those two loans are not listed above and the borrowers have not made their payments as of October 15, 2020.
