RBB Bancorp Reports First Quarter Earnings for 2021

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 March 31, 2021.

The Company reported record net income of $12.5 million, or $0.63 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to net income of $11.1 million, or $0.56 diluted earnings per share, and $6.7 million, or $0.33 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.

“Royal Business Bank started 2021 with excellent first quarter results as our differentiated business model benefited from a rapidly improving economy,” said Mr. Alan Thian, Chairman, President and CEO of RBB Bancorp. “We reported record net income, improving margins, stable credit quality and strong growth in noninterest-bearing deposits. We raised $120 million of subordinated debt which dramatically increases our ability to pursue profitable organic and strategic growth opportunities. We believe we are well-positioned to accelerate our profitable growth in 2021 by providing exceptional customer service to the individuals, businesses and communities we serve.”

Key Performance Ratios

Net income of $12.5 million for the first quarter of 2021 produced an annualized return on average assets of 1.47%, an annualized return on average tangible common shareholders' equity of 14.05%, and an annualized return on average shareholders' equity of 11.64%. This compares to an annualized return on average assets of 1.33%, an annualized return on average tangible common shareholders' equity of 12.58%, and an annualized return on average shareholders' equity of 10.38% for the fourth quarter of 2020. The efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2021 was 44.64%, compared to 43.32% for the prior quarter. The change in the efficiency ratio was primarily due to a seasonal increase in non-interest expense.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income, before provision for loan losses, was $29.5 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared to $28.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. The $608,000 increase was primarily attributable to higher interest income due to a $74.1 million increase in average earning assets and an improvement in the deposit costs related to a $36.9 million increase in average noninterest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a $39.1 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. Accretion of purchase discounts from prior acquisitions contributed $480,000 to net interest income in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $275,000 in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Compared to the first quarter of 2020, net interest income, before provision for loan losses, increased $5.9 million from $23.6 million. The increase was primarily attributable to a $388.8 million increase in average earning assets and a $168.1 million increase in average noninterest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a $188.3 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. The increases in average earning assets and total deposits were primarily due to increased loan and deposit originations.

Net interest margin was 3.73% for the first quarter of 2021, an increase of 6 basis points from 3.67% in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to a 16 basis point decrease in the cost of total deposits partially offset by an 18 basis point increase in the cost of borrowings (FHLB advances, long-term debt and subordinated debentures) and a 6 basis point decrease in the yield on average earning assets. Loan discount accretion contributed 6 basis points to the net interest margin in the first quarter of 2021, compared to 3 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $5.9 million for the first quarter of 2021, an increase of $1.4 million from $4.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase was driven by an increase in gain on loan sales of $1.4 million as the Company sold $73.5 million more loans in the first quarter than in the prior quarter generally due to selling FNMA loans.

The Company sold $80.3 million in FNMA qualified mortgage loans for a net gain of $2.2 million and sold $49.8 million in non-qualified mortgage loans to private investors for a gain of $1.2 million during the first quarter of 2021. This compared to $24.7 million in FNMA qualified mortgage loans for a net gain of $645,000 and $24.3 million in non-qualified mortgage loans to private investors for a gain of $1.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2020. The Company sold $3.5 million in SBA loans during the first quarter of 2021 for a net gain of $355,000, compared to $11.3 million SBA loans sold for a net gain of $595,000 during the fourth quarter of 2020.

Compared to the first quarter of 2020, noninterest income increased by $1.3 million from $4.6 million. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $1.1 million in gain on loan sales and an increase of $225,000 in derivative income.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2021 was $15.8 million, compared to $14.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. The $1.3 million increase was primarily attributable to a $1.1 million increase from commission paid, payroll tax on bonuses, a $428,000 temporary increase in data processing expenses, partially offset by $158,000 decrease in occupancy and equipment expenses, and an $111,000 decrease in marketing and business promotion expenses.

Noninterest expense decreased from $16.3 million in the first quarter of 2020. The $471,000 decrease was primarily due to a $361,000 decrease in merger and conversion expenses, a $263,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits expenses, and a $162,000 decrease in occupancy and equipment expenses. These were partially offset by a $298,000 increase in data processing expense.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 31.13% for the first quarter of 2021, 29.92% for the fourth quarter of 2020, and 32.52% for the first quarter of 2020.

Loan Portfolio

Loans held for investment, net of deferred fees and discounts, totaled $2.7 billion as of March 31, 2021, an increase of $8.4 million from December 31, 2020, and an increase of $315.2 million from March 31, 2020. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to an increase in loan originations. Single-family residential mortgages decreased by $83.1 million net of payoffs, paydowns and loan sales. Commercial real estate loans increased by $59.5 million, construction and land development loans increased by $23.0 million, SBA loans increased by $13.5 million, commercial and industrial loans decreased by $4.1 million and other loans decreased by $321,000.

During the first quarter of 2021, single-family residential mortgage production was $114.5 million, payoffs and paydowns were $81.9 million, and single-family residential mortgage loan sales were $130.1 million. During the fourth quarter of 2020, single-family residential mortgage production was $110.3 million, payoffs and paydowns were $74.5 million, and loan sales were $49.0 million.

Mortgage loans held for sale were $37.7 million as of March 31, 2021, a decrease of $12.3 million from $50.0 million at December 31, 2020 and a decrease of $14.4 million from $52.1 million as of March 31, 2020. The Company originated approximately $55.3 million in mortgage loans for sale for the first quarter of 2021, compared with $50.0 million during the prior quarter.

In the first quarter of 2021, SBA loan production was $37.8 million and total SBA loan sales were $3.5 million.

Deposits and Borrowings

Deposits were $2.8 billion at March 31, 2021, an increase of $186.2 million from December 31, 2020, and an increase of $401.0 million from March 31, 2020, excluding brokered deposits. The increase in total deposits from the prior quarter was primarily attributable to organic deposit growth. During the first quarter of 2021, noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $170.2 million, interest-bearing non-maturity deposits increased by $60.4 million, and time deposits decreased by $44.5 million. As of March 31, 2021, time deposits included $17.4 million in brokered CDs, as compared to $17.4 million as of December 31, 2020 and $33.1 million as of March 31, 2020.

On March 31, 2021, the long-term subordinated-debt was reissued, and an additional $68.4 million was raised.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming assets totaled $20.2 million, or 0.55% of total assets at March 31, 2021, compared to $19.8 million, or 0.59%, of total assets at December 31, 2020. 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.

In the first quarter of 2021, there were $42,000 in net charge-offs, down from $305,000 in the prior quarter.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2021, a decrease from $3.0 million in the prior quarter, primarily attributable to remaining COVID-19-related economic risk and loan growth.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $30.8 million, or 1.13% of loans held for investment at March 31, 2021, compared with $29.3 million, or 1.08%, of total loans at December 31, 2020.

As of March 31, 2021, borrowers representing 285 loans totaling $42.9 million, or 1.6% of the Company’s total loan portfolio, have funded under the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Presently none of our SBA customers are on a payment deferral plan due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
