Second Quarter 2022 Highlights 

 

Net income of $15.5 million, or $0.80 diluted earnings per share, increased $860,000, or 5.9%, from the prior quarter and increased $2.1 million, or 15.7%, from the second quarter of 2021

Los Angeles, CA, July 25, 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 June 30, 2022.

 

The Company reported net income of $15.5 million, or $0.80 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to net income of $14.6 million, or $0.74 diluted earnings per share, and $13.4 million, or $ 0.67 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively.  

 

“Our performance in the second quarter demonstrated the strength of our differentiated business model as the Bank delivered strong earnings, improving margins, and loan growth,” said David Morris, Interim President and CEO of RBB Bancorp. “Expenses were higher than expected due to the ongoing costs related to the Board of Directors investigation, which we expect to wind down in the third quarter. We were pleased to announce several new hires and re-hires during the quarter and look forward to working with our new colleagues to build shareholder value.”

 

"The excellent second quarter results demonstrate the value of Royal Business Bank," said Dr. James Kao, Chairman of RBB Bancorp. “The Bank is well-positioned to continue to generate attractive returns and shareholder value.”

Key Performance Ratios

 

Net income of $15.5 million for the second quarter of 2022 produced an annualized return on average assets ("ROA") of 1.60%, an annualized return on average tangible common shareholders' equity ("ROTCE") of 15.89%, and an annualized return on average shareholders' equity ("ROE") of 13.30%. This compares to an annualized ROA of 1.39%, an annualized ROTCE of 14.91%, and an annualized ROE of 12.59% for the first quarter of 2022. The efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2022 was 43.47%, compared to 42.90% for the prior quarter.  

 

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

 

Net interest income, before provision for loan losses, was $37.1 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $34.5 million for the first quarter of 2022. The $2.6 million increase was primarily attributable to 1.25% increase in interest rate by Federal Reserve Bank in the second quarter of 2022. Accretion of purchase discounts from prior acquisitions contributed $75,000 to net interest income in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $246,000 in the first quarter of 2022.

 

Compared to the second quarter of 2021, net interest income, before provision for loan losses, increased $7.0 million from $30.1 million. The increase was primarily attributable to a $289.3 million increase in average loans and a 1.25% increase in interest rate by the Federal Reserve Bank in the second quarter of 2022. The increases in average earning assets were primarily due to increased loan originations.

 

Net interest margin was 4.08% for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of 59 basis points from 3.49% in the first quarter of 2022.  Loan discount accretion contributed 1 basis point to the net interest margin in the second quarter of 2022, compared to 2 basis points in the first quarter of 2022.  

 

Noninterest Income

 

Noninterest income was $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $478,000 from $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by a $757,000 increase in gain on sale of corporate real estate, a $272,000 decrease in loss on derivatives and a $94,000 increase in recoveries on purchased loans, partially offset by an $830,000 decrease in gain on sale of loans during the quarter. 

 

The Company sold $12.6 million in FNMA qualified mortgage loans for a net gain of $284,000 during the second quarter of 2022 compared to $26.9 million in FNMA qualified mortgage loans sold for a net gain of $711,000 during the first quarter of 2022. The Company sold $1.1 million in SBA loans during the second quarter of 2022 for a net gain of $60,000, compared to $8.3 million SBA loans sold for a net gain of $463,000 during the first quarter of 2022.

 

Compared to the second quarter of 2021, noninterest income decreased by $749,000 from $4.2 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $2.2 million decrease in gain on sale of loans, partially offset by a $757,000 increase in gain on corporate real estate, a $354,000 increase in loan servicing fees, an $113,000 increase in income from bank owned life insurance and a $93,000 increase in recoveries on purchased loans.

Noninterest Expense

 

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2022 was $17.6 million, compared to $16.1 million for the first quarter of 2022. The $1.6 million increase was primarily attributable to a $1.2 million increase in legal and professional expenses due to a Board of Director special investigation and a $259,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits expense due to additional new hires and salary adjustments to reflect economic inflation.

 

Noninterest expense increased from $14.7 million in the second quarter of 2021. The $2.9 million increase was primarily due to a $1.7 million increase in legal and professional expenses due to a Board of Director special investigation, an $886,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits expenses and a $270,000 increase in business promotion and CRA donation expenses.

 

Income Taxes

 

The effective tax rate was 29.6% for the second quarter of 2022, 30.4% for the first quarter of 2022, and 29.3% for the second quarter of 2021. The Company recognized a tax benefit from stock option exercises of $279,000, $23,000 and $68,000 for the second quarter of 2022, the first quarter of 2022, and the second quarter of 2021, respectively.

Loans held for investment, net of deferred fees and discounts, totaled $3.05 billion as of June 30, 2022, an increase of $39.5 million from March 31, 2022, and an increase of $336.7 million from June 30, 2021. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to a $141.2 million increase in single-family residential mortgage loans and a $10.0 million increase in construction & land development loans, partially offset by a $57.6 million decrease in commercial real estate loans and a $42.8 million decrease in commercial and industrial loans. The increase from June 30, 2021 was primarily due to a $221.4 million increase in single-family residential mortgages and a $119.8 million increase in construction & land development loans.

 

During the second quarter of 2022, single-family residential mortgage production was $216.9 million while net payoffs and paydowns were $66.8 million.  During the first quarter of 2022, single-family residential mortgage production was $132.6 million while payoffs and paydowns were $48.1 million.

Asset Quality

 

Nonperforming assets totaled $14.2 million, or 0.36% of total assets at June 30, 2022, compared to $21.0 million, or 0.52% of total assets at March 31, 2022. The decrease in nonperforming assets was due to the pay-off of certain nonperforming loans in the second quarter. 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.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $915,000 for the second quarter of 2022 which was primarily attributable to loan growth and was an increase from $366,000 in the prior quarter.
