Income Statement

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $28.6 million for the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of $4.3 million, or 13.2%, from $32.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, and a decrease of $1.6 million, or 5.3%, from $30.2 million in the first quarter of 2022. The linked-quarter and year-over-year decrease in net interest income was primarily due to higher rates paid on deposits and increased borrowings in the rising interest rate environment. Average interest earning assets were $4.32 billion for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $146.1 million, or 3.5%, from $4.18 billion for the fourth quarter of 2022, and an increase of $892.9 million, or 26.0%, from $3.43 billion for the first quarter of 2022. The linked-quarter increase in average interest earning assets was primarily due to continued growth in the loan portfolio. The year-over-year increase in average interest earning assets was primarily due to strong growth in the loan portfolio and purchases of investment securities, offset partially by the forgiveness of PPP loans and the reduction of cash balances.

Net interest margin (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) for the first quarter of 2023 was 2.72%, a 44 basis point decrease from 3.16% in the fourth quarter of 2022, and an 88 basis point decrease from 3.60% in the first quarter of 2022. Core net interest margin (on a fully tax-equivalent basis), a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes the impact of loan fees and PPP balances, interest, and fees, for the first quarter of 2023 was 2.62%, a 43 basis point decrease from 3.05% in the fourth quarter of 2022, and a 72 basis point decrease from 3.34% in the first quarter of 2022. The decline in the margin when compared to both prior periods was primarily due to higher funding costs and increased borrowings in the rising interest rate environment, offset partially by higher earning asset yields.

Interest income was $52.0 million for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $3.1 million, or 6.4%, from $48.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, and an increase of $17.3 million, or 49.9%, from $34.7 million in the first quarter of 2022. The yield on interest earning assets (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) was 4.91% in the first quarter of 2023, compared to 4.67% in the fourth quarter of 2022, and 4.13% in the first quarter of 2022. The linked-quarter increase in the yield on interest earning assets was primarily due to the increase in market interest rates resulting in new loan originations, loans repricing, and investment purchases to be at yields accretive to the existing portfolios. The year-over-year increase in the yield on interest earning assets was primarily due to growth and repricing of the loan and securities portfolios in the rising interest rate environment, offset partially by the lower recognition of PPP origination fees.

Loan interest income and loan fees remain the primary contributing factors to the changes in the yield on interest earning assets. The aggregate loan yield, excluding PPP loans, increased to 5.06% in the first quarter of 2023, which was 20 basis points higher than 4.86% in the fourth quarter of 2022, and 66 basis points higher than 4.40% in the first quarter of 2022. While loan fees have historically maintained a relatively stable contribution to the aggregate loan yield, the recent periods saw fewer loan prepayments, which historically has accelerated the recognition of loan fees. Despite the decrease in fee recognition, the Company is encouraged that the core loan yield continues to rise as new loan originations and the existing portfolio reprice in the higher rate environment.

A summary of interest and fees recognized on loans, excluding PPP loans, for the periods indicated is as follows:

Interest expense was $23.4 million for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $7.5 million, or 46.7%, from $16.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, and an increase of $18.9 million, or 418.9%, from $4.5 million in the first quarter of 2022. The cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 81 basis points on a linked-quarter basis from 2.22% in the fourth quarter of 2022 to 3.03% in the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to higher rates paid on deposits and the increased utilization of federal funds purchased and FHLB advances in the rising interest rate environment. On a year-over-year basis, the cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 223 basis points from 0.80% in the first quarter of 2022 to 3.03% in the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to the rapid increase in market interest rates that occurred between the periods, which impacted all funding sources.

Interest expense on deposits was $16.4 million for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $5.6 million, or 51.9%, from $10.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, and an increase of $13.2 million, or 418.4%, from $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2022. The cost of total deposits increased 70 basis points on a linked-quarter basis from 1.31% in the fourth quarter of 2022, to 2.01% in the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to the rising interest rate environment and increased competition from other market alternatives. On a year-over-year basis, the cost of total deposits increased 158 basis points from 0.43% in the first quarter of 2022, to 2.01% in the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to the upward repricing of the deposit portfolio in the higher interest rate environment.

A summary of the Company’s average balances, interest yields and rates, and net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, and March 31, 2022 is as follows:

(1)

Interest income and average rates for tax-exempt investment securities and loans are presented on a tax-equivalent basis, assuming a statutory federal income tax rate of 21%.

(2)

Average loan balances include nonaccrual loans. Interest income on loans includes amortization of deferred loan fees, net of deferred loan costs.

(3)

Net interest margin includes the tax equivalent adjustment and represents the annualized results of: (i) the difference between interest income on interest earning assets and the interest expense on interest bearing liabilities, divided by (ii) average interest earning assets for the period.

Provision for Credit Losses

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments,” more commonly referred to as “CECL.” Upon adoption of CECL, the Company’s allowance for credit losses on loans increased $650,000 and the allowance on unfunded commitments increased $4.9 million. The tax-effected impact of these two items totaled $3.9 million and was recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2023.

The provision for credit losses was $1.5 million for both the first quarter of 2023 and the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2022. The provision recorded in the first quarter of 2023 was primarily attributable to the more moderated growth of the loan portfolio. The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.36% at March 31, 2023, compared to 1.34% at December 31, 2022, and 1.40% at March 31, 2022.

The provision for unfunded commitments was a negative provision of ($875,000) for the first quarter of 2023 and zero for both the fourth quarter of 2022 and first quarter of 2022. The negative provision during the quarter was due to a reduction in outstanding unfunded commitments primarily attributable to the migration to funded loans.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $205,000 from $1.74 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, and an increase of $386,000 from $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2022. The linked-quarter increase was primarily due to an increase in letter of credit fees and FHLB prepayment income, offset partially by a decrease in other income. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to increased letter of credit fees and FHLB prepayment income, offset partially by no recorded swap fees.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $14.2 million for the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of $1.0 million from $15.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, and an increase of $675,000 from $13.5 million for the first quarter of 2022. The linked-quarter decrease was primarily due to decreases in salaries and employee benefits resulting from lower discretionary incentive accruals. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to increases in the FDIC insurance assessment and derivative collateral fees, offset partially by declines in marketing and advertising and other expense.

The Company had 246 full-time equivalent employees at both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and 229 employees at March 31, 2022. The efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 46.2% for the first quarter of 2023, compared to 43.8% for the fourth quarter of 2022, and 42.4% for the first quarter of 2022.

Income Taxes

The effective combined federal and state income tax rate for the first quarter of 2023 was 25.9%, an increase from 23.4% for the fourth quarter of 2022 and consistent with 25.9% for the first quarter of 2022.

Balance Sheet

Total assets at March 31, 2023 were $4.60 billion, a 5.9% increase from $4.35 billion at December 31, 2022, and a 27.6% increase from $3.61 billion at March 31, 2022. The linked-quarter increase in total assets was primarily due to continued loan growth and an increase in cash and cash equivalent balances. The year-over-year increase in total assets was primarily due to strong loan growth, purchases of investment securities and an increase in cash and cash equivalent balances.

Total gross loans at March 31, 2023 were $3.68 billion, an increase of $114.9 million, or 3.2%, over total gross loans of $3.57 billion at December 31, 2022, and an increase of $696.4 million, or 23.3%, over total gross loans of $2.99 billion at March 31, 2022. The increase in the loan portfolio during the first quarter of 2023 was primarily due to growth across all segments.

Total deposits at March 31, 2023 were $3.41 billion, a decrease of $5.4 million, or 0.2%, over total deposits of $3.42 billion at December 31, 2022, and an increase of $375.5 million, or 12.4%, over total deposits of $3.04 billion at March 31, 2022. Deposits decreased slightly in the first quarter of 2023 primarily due to a decrease in noninterest bearing deposits and savings and money market deposits, offset by an increase in interest bearing deposits and brokered deposits. Brokered deposits were being used as a supplemental funding source, as needed, to support the loan portfolio growth. Uninsured deposits as of March 31, 2023 were 24% of total deposits, down from 38% as of December 31, 2022.

Capital

Total shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2023 was $402.0 million, an increase of $7.9 million, or 2.0%, compared to total shareholders’ equity of $394.1 million at December 31, 2022, and an increase of $22.6 million, or 5.9%, over total shareholders’ equity of $379.4 million at March 31, 2022. The linked-quarter increase was due to net income retained, offset partially by the adoption of CECL and preferred stock dividends. The year-over-year increase was due to net income retained and unrealized gains in the derivatives portfolio, offset partially by an increase in unrealized losses in the securities portfolio, stock repurchases, the adoption of CECL and preferred stock dividends. The Company did not purchase any shares of its common stock during the first quarter of 2023.

Tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $11.95 as of March 31, 2023, an increase of 2.2% from $11.69 as of December 31, 2022, and an increase of 8.5% from $11.01 as of March 31, 2022. The linked-quarter and year-over-year increases occurred despite the market value depreciation of the securities portfolio driven by the rapidly rising interest rate environment. Tangible common equity as a percentage of tangible assets, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 7.23% at March 31, 2023, compared to 7.48% at December 31, 2022, and 8.60% at March 31, 2022.

Today, the Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on its 5.875% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (Series A Preferred Stock). The quarterly cash dividend of $36.72 per share, equivalent to $0.3672 per depositary share, each representing a 1/100th interest in a share of the Series A Preferred Stock (Nasdaq: BWBBP), is payable on June 1, 2023 to shareholders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock at the close of business on May 15, 2023.

Liquidity

Total on- and off-balance sheet liquidity was $1.92 billion as of March 31, 2023, compared to $1.38 billion at December 31, 2022 and $1.44 billion at March 31, 2022. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company took a number of actions to increase its total liquidity by more than $500 million, including pledging loans and securities to create additional borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Bank and increasing its cash on the balance sheet. The Company did not utilize the Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP) or Federal Reserve Discount Window during the first quarter of 2023.

Asset Quality

Annualized net charge-offs (recoveries) as a percentage of average loans were 0.00% for the first quarter of 2023, fourth quarter of 2022 and first quarter of 2022. At March 31, 2023, the Company’s nonperforming assets, which include nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days and still accruing, and foreclosed assets, were $809,000, or 0.02% of total assets, as compared to $639,000, or 0.01% of total assets at December 31, 2022, and $706,000, or 0.02% of total assets at March 31, 2022.

Loans that have potential weaknesses that warrant a watchlist risk rating at March 31, 2023 totaled $27.6 million, compared to $32.3 million at December 31, 2022, and $46.8 million at March 31, 2022. The increased uncertainty in the economic environment may result in future watchlist or adverse classifications in the loan portfolio. Loans that warranted a substandard risk rating at March 31, 2023 totaled $36.3 million, compared to $28.0 million at December 31, 2022, and $18.6 million at March 31, 2022. The linked-quarter increase was primarily due to the downgrade of one loan relationship.

Use of Non-GAAP financial measures

In addition to the results presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the Company routinely supplements its evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to the related GAAP measures, provide meaningful information to investors to help them understand the Company’s operating performance and trends, and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of peers. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Reconciliations of non-GAAP disclosures used in this earnings release to the comparable GAAP measures are provided in the accompanying tables.

Forward-Looking Statements

This earnings release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements concerning plans, estimates, calculations, forecasts and projections with respect to the anticipated future performance of the Company. These statements are often, but not always, identified by words such as “may”, “might”, “should”, “could”, “predict”, “potential”, “believe”, “expect”, “continue”, “will”, “anticipate”, “seek”, “estimate”, “intend”, “plan”, “projection”, “would”, “annualized”, “target” and “outlook”, or the negative version of those words or other comparable words of a future or forward-looking nature.

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: interest rate risk, including the effects of recent and anticipated rate increases by the Federal Reserve; fluctuations in the values of the securities held in our securities portfolio, including as the result of rising interest rates, which has resulted in unrealized losses in our portfolio; business and economic conditions generally and in the financial services industry, nationally and within our market area, including rising rates of inflation; the effects of recent developments and events in the financial services industry, including the large-scale deposit withdrawals over a short period of time at Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank that resulted in the failure of those institutions; loan concentrations in our portfolio; the overall health of the local and national real estate market; our ability to successfully manage credit risk; our ability to maintain an adequate level of allowance for loan losses; new or revised accounting standards, including as a result of the implementation of the Current Expected Credit Loss standard; the concentration of large loans to certain borrowers; the concentration of large deposits from certain clients, who have balances above current FDIC insurance limits and may withdraw deposits to diversify their exposure; our ability to successfully manage liquidity risk, which may increase our dependence on non-core funding sources such as brokered deposits, and negatively impact our cost of funds; our ability to raise additional capital to implement our business plan; our ability to implement our growth strategy and manage costs effectively; developments and uncertainty related to the future use and availability of some reference rates, such as the expected discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate, as well as other alternative reference rates; the composition of our senior leadership team and our ability to attract and retain key personnel; talent and labor shortages and high rates of employee turnover; the occurrence of fraudulent activity, breaches or failures of our information security controls or cybersecurity-related incidents; interruptions involving our information technology and telecommunications systems or third-party servicers; competition in the financial services industry, including from nonbank competitors such as credit unions and “fintech” companies; the effectiveness of our risk management framework; the commencement and outcome of litigation and other legal proceedings and regulatory actions against us; the impact of recent and future legislative and regulatory changes, including in response to the recent failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank; risks related to climate change and the negative impact it may have on our customers and their businesses; the imposition of tariffs or other governmental policies impacting the value of products produced by our commercial borrowers; severe weather, natural disasters, wide spread disease or pandemics (including the COVID-19 pandemic), acts of war or terrorism or other adverse external events including the Russian invasion of Ukraine; potential impairment to the goodwill the Company recorded in connection with our past acquisition; changes to U.S. or state tax laws, regulations and guidance, including the new 1% excise tax on stock buybacks by publicly traded companies; and any other risks described in the “Risk Factors” sections of reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this press release is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
