-- Strong performance driven by robust loan
growth, sustained deposit growth, and positive operating leverage
--
First Business Financial Services, Inc. (the “Company,” the
“Bank,” or “First Business Bank”) (Nasdaq:FBIZ) reported quarterly
net income available to common shareholders of $8.1 million, or
$0.98 diluted earnings per share. This compares to net income
available to common shareholders of $8.8 million, or $1.05 per
share, in the first quarter of 2023 and $11.0 million, or $1.29 per
share, in the second quarter of 2022.
“First Business Bank’s focus on fundamentals drove outstanding
core performance for the quarter, continuing our success in
achieving our strategic objectives,” Chief Executive Officer Corey
Chambas said. “Net interest income grew more than 17% from the
second quarter of 2022, and we continued to expand in-market
deposits, up 11.0% annualized from year end. Strong client activity
also drove loan growth, which exceeded 20% annualized for the
quarter, and capped off an outstanding first half, well above the
Company’s mid-year loan growth expectations. The revenue expansion
accompanying this growth contributed to excellent pre-tax,
pre-provision earnings, a key measure we use to track ongoing
earnings power. Our ability to execute on strategic priorities in a
volatile first half of 2023 for the banking industry underscores
the strength of our business model and reinforces our capacity to
deliver for our stakeholders.”
“Exceptional loan growth is a testament to our team’s solid
strategic planning and outstanding execution,” Chambas added.
“We’ve thoughtfully built robust asset-generating business lines in
response to client needs and our desire for balance sheet
diversification and growth. That, along with our strategic focus on
Treasury Management, has allowed us to grow both loans and deposits
in excess of 10% over the last two years. We expect this growth
rate to moderate as we manage to our long-term target of 10%.”
“We are pleased with the continuation of First Business Bank’s
positive asset quality in the first half of 2023,” Chambas
continued. “The increase in non-performing assets during the second
quarter was the result of one default that occurred in our
Asset-Based Lending (“ABL”) portfolio. While defaults and
liquidations are not atypical for ABL loans, these loans are fully
collateralized and therefore, as usual, we do not expect any loss.
Further, we do not believe it to be reflective of portfolio or
industry stress. Excluding this credit, non-performing assets
totaled less than $5 million.”
Quarterly Highlights
- Robust Loan Growth. Loans grew $135.2 million, or 21.3%
annualized, from the first quarter of 2023, reflecting broad-based
expansion across the Company’s products and geographies in the
second quarter. Similar expansion across the Company’s portfolios
drove loan growth totaling $384.5 million, or 16.8%, from the
second quarter of 2022.
- Continued Deposit Growth. Total deposits grew to $2.529
billion, increasing 8.4% annualized from the linked quarter and
35.3% from the second quarter of 2022. In-market deposits grew to a
record $2.074 billion, up $19.0 million, or 3.7% annualized, from
the linked quarter and 11.7% from the second quarter of 2022.
Importantly, gross treasury management service charges grew to $1.4
million in the quarter, expanding 15% compared to the second
quarter of 2022.
- Net Interest Income Expansion. Net interest income grew
3.9% from the linked quarter and 17.3% from the prior year quarter.
Consistent execution of the Company’s strategy to drive diversified
portfolio growth supported this outcome. Net interest margin of
3.81% declined five basis points from the linked quarter and
increased 10 basis points compared to second quarter of 2022.
- Strong Pre-tax, Pre-Provision (“PTPP”) Income. PTPP
income grew to $13.5 million, up 1.0% from the prior quarter and
24.2% from the second quarter of 2022. This performance reflects
solid growth across the Company’s balance sheet and diversified
sources of non-interest income, which outpaced non-interest expense
expansion in support of the Company’s growth initiatives. PTPP
adjusted return on average assets measured 1.72%, compared to 1.79%
for the linked quarter and up from 1.60% for the second quarter of
2022.
- Tangible Book Value Growth. The Company’s strong
earnings generation produced a 9.7% annualized increase in tangible
book value per share compared to the linked quarter and 12.3%
compared to the prior year quarter.

This is a non-GAAP financial measure.
Management believes these measures are meaningful because they
reflect adjustments commonly made by management, investors,
regulators, and analysts to evaluate financial performance, provide
greater understanding of ongoing operations, and enhance
comparability of results with prior periods. See the section titled
Non-GAAP Reconciliations at the end of this release for a
reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial

Calculation is annualized.
Second Quarter 2023 Compared to First
Quarter 2023
Net interest income increased $1.0 million, or 3.9%, to $27.7
million.
- The increase in net interest income was driven by an increase
in both average loans and leases receivable and fees in lieu of
interest, partially offset by a decrease in net interest margin.
Average loans and leases receivable increased $102.0 million, or
16.4% annualized, to $2.583 billion. Fees in lieu of interest,
which vary from quarter to quarter based on client-driven activity,
totaled $936,000, compared to $651,000 in the prior quarter.
Excluding fees in lieu of interest, net interest income increased
$757,000, or 11.6% annualized.
- The yield on average interest-earning assets increased 38 basis
points to 6.47% from 6.09%. Excluding fees in lieu of interest, the
yield earned on average interest-earning assets increased 36 basis
points to 6.35% from 5.99%. The daily average effective federal
funds rate increased 48 basis points compared to the linked
quarter, which equates to an average adjusted interest-earning
asset beta of 73.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2023,
compared to 47.0% in the linked quarter. The cumulative adjusted
interest earning asset beta since December 31, 2021 was 57.2%. The
change in yield of the respective interest-earning asset or the
rate paid on interest-bearing liability compared to the change in
short-term market rates is commonly referred to as a beta.
- The rate paid for average interest-bearing, in-market deposits
increased 47 basis points to 3.25% from 2.78% due to the
acceleration of exception pricing and the shift of client balances
from non-interest bearing deposits to certificates of deposit and
interest bearing demand deposit accounts. Similarly, the rate paid
for average total bank funding increased 48 basis points to 2.78%
from 2.30%. Total bank funding is defined as total deposits plus
Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances. The total bank funding
beta was 98.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared
to 73.3% in the linked quarter. The cumulative bank funding beta
since December 31, 2021 was 49.9%.
- Net interest margin was 3.81%, down 5 basis points compared to
3.86% in the linked quarter. Adjusted net interest margin1 was
3.63%, down 11 basis points compared to 3.74% in the linked
quarter. The decline in net interest margin was due to an increase
in the rate paid on total bank funding, partially offset by an
increase in the yield on average adjusted interest earning
assets.
- The Bank anticipates deposit betas may continue to rise and net
interest margin may continue to decline at a gradual pace in coming
quarters as the Federal Open Market Committee approaches a terminal
federal funds rate. Based on current trends, we believe our net
interest margin should stabilize meaningfully above our strategic
plan goal of 3.50%.
The Bank reported a provision expense of $2.2 million, compared
to $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2023. The second quarter
provision expense included $1.2 million due to exceptional loan
growth and $1.1 million of additional specific reserves. The
increase in specific reserves was related to the equipment finance
and SBA loan portfolios.
Non-interest income decreased $1.0 million, or 12.3%, to $7.4
million.
- Private Wealth and Retirement assets (“Private Wealth”) fee
income increased $239,000, or 9.0% to $2.9 million. Private Wealth
assets under management and administration measured $2.907 billion
at June 30, 2023, up $103.0 million from the prior quarter.
- Commercial loan swap fee income increased $420,000, or 75.4%,
to $977,000. Swap fee income varies from period to period based on
loan activity and the interest rate environment.
- Other fee income decreased $1.8 million to $1.4 million,
compared to $3.2 million in the prior quarter. The decrease was
primarily due to higher returns on the Company’s investments in
mezzanine funds in the first quarter. Income from mezzanine funds
was $389,000 in the second quarter, compared to $2.4 million in the
linked quarter. Income from mezzanine funds varies from period to
period based on changes in the value of underlying
investments.
Non-interest expense increased $264,000, or 1.2%, to $22.0
million, while operating expense decreased $87,000, or 0.4%, to
$21.7 million.
- Compensation expense was $15.1 million, reflecting a decrease
of $779,000, or 4.9%, from the linked quarter primarily due to
401(k) employer match and payroll taxes paid in the prior quarter
on the annual cash bonus payout. Average full-time equivalents
(FTEs) for the first quarter of 2023 were 341, up from 340 in the
linked quarter.
- Professional fees were $1.2 million, decreasing $103,000, or
7.7%, from the linked quarter primarily due to expenses related to
an office relocation in the prior quarter.
- Data processing expense was $1.1 million, increasing $186,000,
or 21.3%, from the linked quarter primarily due to the recurring,
annual expense related to tax processing on behalf of the Bank’s
Private Wealth clients.
- Marketing expenses were $779,000, increasing $151,000, or
24.0%, from the linked quarter primarily due to seasonal increases
in client entertainment and sponsorships.
- FDIC insurance expense was $580,000, increasing $186,000, or
47.2%, from the linked quarter primarily due to an increase in the
assessment rate and the assessable base.
- Other non-interest expense increased $577,000, or 113.1%, to
$1.1 million from the linked quarter primarily due to a $359,000
increase in SBA recourse provision, a loss on disposal of fixed
assets, and an increase in travel expenses related to normal
business development activities.
______________________________
1
Adjusted net interest margin is a non-GAAP
measure representing net interest income excluding fees in lieu of
interest and other recurring, but volatile, components of net
interest margin divided by average interest-earning assets less
other recurring, but volatile, components of average
interest-earning assets.
Income tax expense decreased $286,000, or 10.2%, to $2.5
million. The effective tax rate was 23.2% for the three months
ended June 30, 2023, compared to 23.8% for the linked quarter. Both
quarters benefited from low-income housing tax credits. Based on
expected earnings and future tax credit investments, the Company
expects to report an effective tax rate between 21% and 22% for
2023.
Total period-end loans and leases receivable increased $135.2
million, or 21.3% annualized, to $2.675 billion. Management does
not believe this level of loan growth is sustainable and expects
growth to moderate in subsequent quarters. Additionally, management
expects to evaluate loan sale strategies as a means of adding to
and further diversifying fee income. The average rate earned on
average loans and leases receivable was 6.86%, up 44 basis points
from 6.42% in the prior quarter.
- Commercial Real Estate (“CRE”) loans increased by $62.6
million, or 16.4% annualized, to $1.592 billion. The increase was
primarily due to an increase in non-owner occupied CRE loans.
- Commercial & Industrial (“C&I”) loans increased $73.6
million, or 30.4% annualized, to $1.037 billion. The increase was
due to growth across the majority of the Bank’s C&I products
and geographies.
Total period-end in-market deposits increased $19.0 million, or
3.7% annualized, to $2.074 billion, compared to $2.055 billion. The
average rate paid was 2.56%, up 47 basis points from 2.09% in the
prior quarter.
- Growth in interest-bearing transaction accounts, driven in part
by client movement into extended insurance products, was partially
offset by a decrease in non-interest bearing transaction accounts,
money market accounts, and certificates of deposit.
Period-end wholesale funding, including FHLB advances, brokered
deposits, and deposits gathered through internet deposit listing
services, increased $61.2 million to $790.8 million.
- Wholesale deposits increased $33.0 million to $455.1 million,
compared to $422.1 million as the Bank continued to replace FHLB
advances with wholesale deposits consistent with the Company’s
long-held philosophy to manage interest rate risk by utilizing the
most efficient and cost-effective source of wholesale funds to
match-fund fixed-rate loans. The average rate paid on wholesale
deposits increased three basis points to 4.24% and the weighted
average original maturity increased to 3.7 years from 1.8
years.
- FHLB advances decreased $28.2 million to $335.7 million. The
average rate paid on FHLB advances increased 20 basis points to
2.67% and the weighted average original maturity increased to 5.2
years from 4.7 years.
Non-performing assets increased $12.3 million to $15.8 million,
or 0.48% of total assets, up from 0.11% in the prior quarter. The
increase was primarily due to the default of one $10.9 million
fully collateralized ABL credit, for which the Company expects full
repayment. Excluding this credit, non-performing assets totaled
$4.9 million, or 0.15% of total assets.
The allowance for credit losses, including unfunded credit
commitments reserve, increased $2.1 million, or 7.8%, primarily
driven by loan growth and an increase in specific reserves. The
allowance for credit losses, including unfunded credit commitment
reserves, as a percent of total gross loans and leases was 1.11%
compared to 1.08% in the prior quarter.
Second Quarter 2023 Compared to Second
Quarter 2022
Net interest income increased $4.1 million, or 17.3%, to $27.7
million.
- The increase in net interest income primarily reflects an
increase in average gross loans and leases and net interest margin
expansion, partially offset by lower fees in lieu of interest. Fees
in lieu of interest decreased from $1.9 million to $936,000,
primarily due to a decrease in non-accrual interest recovery and
loan fee amortization related to Paycheck Protection Program loans.
Excluding fees in lieu of interest, net interest income increased
$5.0 million, or 23.0%.
- The yield on average interest-earning assets measured 6.47%
compared to 4.24%. Excluding fees in lieu of interest, the yield on
average interest-earning assets measured 6.35%, compared to 3.95%.
This increase in yield was primarily due to the increase in
short-term market rates and the reinvestment of cash flows from the
securities and fixed rate loan portfolios in a rising rate
environment. The daily average effective federal funds rate
increased 422 basis points compared to the prior year quarter,
which equates to an average adjusted interest-earning asset beta of
56.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the
prior year period.
- The rate paid for average interest-bearing in-market deposits
increased 296 basis points to 3.25% from 0.29%. The rate paid for
average total bank funding increased 232 basis points to 2.78% from
0.46%. The total bank funding beta was 55.0% for the three months
ended June 30, 2023, compared to the prior year period.
- Net interest margin increased 10 basis points to 3.81% from
3.71%. Adjusted net interest margin increased 19 basis points to
3.63% from 3.44%.
The Company reported a provision expense of $2.2 million,
compared to a provision benefit of $3.7 million in the second
quarter of 2022, primarily due to loan growth and an increase in
specific reserves. The prior year quarter benefited from net
recoveries of $4.2 million.
Non-interest income of $7.4 million increased by $502,000, or
7.3%, from $6.9 million in the prior year period.
- Private Wealth fee income increased $41,000, or 1.4%, to $2.9
million. Private Wealth assets under management and administration
measured $2.907 billion at June 30, 2023, up $353.4 million, or
13.8%.
- Gain on sale of SBA loans decreased $507,000, or 53.3%, to
$444,000. The decrease was driven by lower premiums and a decrease
in loan originations compared to prior year quarter. In addition,
the Company elected to hold a higher number of SBA loans on its
balance sheet in the current interest rate environment.
- Service charges on deposits decreased $275,000, or 26.4%, to
$766,000, driven by an increase in the earnings credit rate
commensurate with the rising rate environment.
- Loan fees of $905,000 increased by $208,000, or 29.8%,
primarily due to an increase in C&I lending activity.
- Other fee income increased $574,000, or 66.7%, to $1.4 million,
mainly due to higher returns on the Company’s investments in
mezzanine funds and a gain on customer lease restructuring. Income
from mezzanine funds was $389,000 in the second quarter, compared
to $115,000 in the prior year quarter. Income on mezzanine funds
varies from period to period based on changes in the value of
underlying investments.
Non-interest expense increased $2.6 million, or 13.2%, to $22.0
million. Operating expense increased $2.0 million, or 10.2%, to
$21.7 million.
- Compensation expense increased $1.1 million, or 7.9%, to $15.1
million. The increase in compensation expense was mainly due to an
increase in average FTEs, annual merit increases and promotions,
and an increase in incentive compensation due to outstanding
production. Average FTEs increased 6% to 341 in the second quarter
of 2023, compared to 321 in the second quarter of 2022, as a result
of expanded hiring efforts that have successfully driven growth
while maintaining positive operating leverage.
- FDIC insurance increased $284,000, or 95.9%, to $580,000,
primarily due to an increase in the assessment rate and the
assessable base.
- Marketing expense increased $109,000, or 16.3%, to $779,000,
primarily due to an increase in business development efforts and
advertising projects commensurate with our expanded sales
force.
- Equipment expense increased $120,000, or 51.1%, to $355,000,
primarily due to equipment needs for an increasing workforce and
increased depreciation expense related to new office
locations.
Total period-end loans and leases receivable increased $384.5
million, or 16.8%, to $2.675 billion.
- C&I loans increased $281.8 million, or 37.3% to $1.037
billion, due to growth across all categories and geographies.
- CRE loans increased $103.3 million, or 6.9%, to $1.592 billion,
due to increases in most CRE categories and geographies.
Total period-end in-market deposits increased $216.7 million, or
11.7%, to $2.074 billion, and the average rate paid increased 236
basis points to 2.56%. The increase in in-market deposits was
principally due to a $252.4 million and $179.3 million increase in
interest bearing transaction accounts and certificates of deposits,
respectively. This increase was partially offset by a $125.2
million and $89.7 million decrease in non-interest bearing deposit
accounts and money market accounts, respectively.
Period-end wholesale funding increased $224.4 million to $790.8
million.
- Wholesale deposits increased $442.8 million to $455.1 million,
as the Bank utilized more wholesale deposits in lieu of FHLB
advances to build excess liquidity and to match-fund fixed rate
assets. The average rate paid on brokered certificates of deposit
increased 126 basis points to 4.24% and the weighted average
original maturity decreased to 3.7 years from 4.8 years.
- FHLB advances decreased $218.4 million to $335.7 million. The
average rate paid on FHLB advances increased 119 basis points to
2.67% and the weighted average original maturity increased to 5.2
years from 3.2 years.
Non-performing assets increased to $15.8 million, or 0.48% of
total assets, compared to $5.7 million, or 0.21% of total
assets.
The allowance for credit losses, including unfunded commitment
reserves, increased $5.6 million to $29.7 million, compared to
$24.1 million. The allowance for credit losses as a percent of
total gross loans and leases was 1.11%, compared to the allowance
for loan losses of 1.05% under the incurred loss model.
Share Repurchase Program
Update

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
Certain financial information provided in this release is
determined by methods other than in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (United States) (“GAAP”). Although
the Company’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial
measures provide a greater understanding of its business, these
measures are not necessarily comparable to similar measures that
may be presented by other companies.
TANGIBLE BOOK VALUE
“Tangible book value per share” is a non-GAAP measure
representing tangible common equity divided by total common shares
outstanding. “Tangible common equity” itself is a non-GAAP measure
representing common stockholders’ equity reduced by intangible
assets, if any. The Company’s management believes that this measure
is important to many investors in the marketplace who are
interested in period-to-period changes in book value per common
share exclusive of changes in intangible assets. The information
provided below reconciles tangible book value per share and
tangible common equity to their most comparable GAAP measures.

TANGIBLE COMMON EQUITY TO TANGIBLE ASSETS
“Tangible common equity to tangible assets” (“TCE”) is defined
as the ratio of common stockholders’ equity reduced by intangible
assets, if any, divided by total assets reduced by intangible
assets, if any. Adjusted TCE ratio is defined as TCE adjusted for
net fair value adjustments of financial assets and liabilities. For
more information on fair value adjustments please refer to Note 19
- Fair Value Disclosures in the annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2022. The Company’s management believes
that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace
who are interested in the relative changes from period to period in
common equity and total assets, each exclusive of changes in
intangible assets. The information below reconciles tangible common
equity and tangible assets to their most comparable GAAP
measures.

EFFICIENCY RATIO & PRE-TAX, PRE-PROVISION ADJUSTED
EARNINGS
“Efficiency ratio” is a non-GAAP measure representing
non-interest expense excluding the effects of the SBA recourse
provision, impairment of tax credit investments, losses or gains on
repossessed assets, amortization of other intangible assets and
other discrete items, if any, divided by operating revenue, which
is equal to net interest income plus non-interest income less
realized gains or losses on securities, if any. “Pre-tax,
pre-provision adjusted earnings” is defined as operating revenue
less operating expense. In the judgment of the Company’s
management, the adjustments made to non-interest expense and
non-interest income allow investors and analysts to better assess
the Company’s operating expenses in relation to its core operating
revenue by removing the volatility that is associated with certain
one-time items and other discrete items. The information provided
below reconciles the efficiency ratio and pre-tax, pre-provision
adjusted earnings to its most comparable GAAP measure.

ADJUSTED NET INTEREST MARGIN
“Adjusted Net Interest Margin” is a non-GAAP measure
representing net interest income excluding the fees in lieu of
interest and other recurring, but volatile, components of net
interest margin divided by average interest-earning assets less
other recurring, but volatile, components of average
interest-earning assets. Fees in lieu of interest are defined as
prepayment fees, asset-based loan fees, non-accrual interest, and
loan fee amortization. In the judgment of the Company’s management,
the adjustments made to net interest income allow investors and
analysts to better assess the Company’s net interest income in
relation to its core client-facing loan and deposit rate changes by
removing the volatility that is associated with these recurring but
volatile components. The information provided below reconciles the
net interest margin to its most comparable GAAP measure.
