Riverview Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq GSM: RVSB) (“Riverview” or the “Company”) today reported earnings of $1.5 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to $2.5 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the second fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023, and $5.2 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, in the third fiscal quarter a year ago.

“We finished the third fiscal quarter of 2024 on solid footing, although the challenging interest rate environment continues to impact net interest income growth with higher interest expense on deposits and borrowings, which affected our operating performance,” stated Dan Cox, Chief Operating Officer, Acting President and Chief Executive Officer. “Quarterly loan growth has moderated, as we remain selective with the loans we are putting on the balance sheet. Additionally, credit quality metrics remain very stable. We are going into the last quarter of our fiscal year with an abundance of caution, as we remain committed to protecting our liquidity and capital position.”

Income Statement Review

Riverview’s net interest income was $9.3 million in the current quarter, compared to $9.9 million in the preceding quarter, and $13.7 million in the third fiscal quarter a year ago. The decrease in net interest income compared to the prior quarter was driven primarily by an increase in interest expense on deposits and borrowings due to higher interest rates. In the first nine months of fiscal 2024, net interest income was $29.5 million, compared to $39.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023.

Riverview’s NIM was 2.49% for the third quarter of fiscal 2024, a 14 basis-point decrease compared to 2.63% in the preceding quarter and a 99 basis-point decrease compared to 3.48% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. “We experienced NIM contraction again during the current quarter, compared to the prior quarter and year ago quarter, as a result of increased interest expense due to higher rates on our deposit products and the interest expense related to our borrowings,” said David Lam, EVP and Chief Financial Officer. In the first nine months of fiscal 2024, the net interest margin was 2.64% compared to 3.30% in the same period a year earlier.

Investment securities totaled $429.1 million at December 31, 2023, compared to $430.0 million at September 30, 2023, and $458.9 million at December 31, 2022. The average securities balances for the quarters ended December 31, 2023, September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, were $458.0 million, $466.0 million, and $491.2 million, respectively. The weighted average yields on securities balances for those same periods were 2.01%, 2.00%, and 2.01%, respectively. The duration of the investment portfolio at December 31, 2023 was approximately 4.8 years. The anticipated investment cashflows over the next twelve months is approximately $50.5 million.

Riverview’s yield on loans improved to 4.56% during the third fiscal quarter, compared to 4.51% in the preceding quarter, and 4.50% in the third fiscal quarter a year ago. While loan yields improved during the current quarter, they remain under pressure due to the concentration of fixed-rate loans in the Company’s portfolio. Deposit costs increased to 0.68% during the third fiscal quarter compared to 0.59% in the preceding quarter, and 0.08% in the third fiscal quarter a year ago.

Non-interest income decreased to $3.1 million during the third fiscal quarter compared to $3.4 million in the preceding quarter and increased when compared to $3.0 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2023. The decrease during the current quarter, compared to the immediate prior quarter, was due to lower fees and service charges from a decrease in fintech referral partnership income. In the first nine months of fiscal 2024, non-interest income increased 5.7% to $9.7 million compared to $9.2 million in the same period a year ago.

Asset management fees were $1.3 million during the third fiscal quarter, which were unchanged compared to the preceding quarter, and an increase compared to $1.1 million in the third fiscal quarter a year ago. Riverview Trust Company’s assets under management were $942.4 million at December 31, 2023, compared to $875.7 million at September 30, 2023 and $855.9 million at December 31, 2022.

Non-interest expense was $10.6 million during the third quarter, compared to $10.1 million in the preceding quarter and $9.8 million in the third fiscal quarter a year ago. Salary and employee benefits were up during the current quarter compared to the preceding quarter, when salary and employee benefits were lower as a result of a one-time reversal of certain equity incentives. Occupancy and depreciation costs increased during the quarter due to updates and modernization of Riverview’s facilities. The efficiency ratio was 85.2% for the third fiscal quarter compared to 76.1% in the preceding quarter and 59.1% in the third fiscal quarter a year ago. Year-to-date, non-interest expense was $30.6 million compared to $29.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023.

Return on average assets was 0.37% in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to 0.62% in the preceding quarter. Return on average equity and return on average tangible equity (non-GAAP) were 3.75% and 4.57%, respectively, compared to 6.33% and 7.68%, respectively, for the prior quarter.

Balance Sheet Review

Total loans remained flat at $1.02 billion at December 31, 2023, compared to three months earlier and a year earlier. Riverview’s loan pipeline was $29.3 million at December 31, 2023, compared to $62.7 million at the end of the prior quarter. New loan originations during the quarter totaled $51.3 million, compared to $39.5 million in the preceding quarter and $28.9 million in the third quarter a year ago.

Undisbursed construction loans totaled $63.1 million at December 31, 2023, compared to $49.9 million at September 30, 2023, with the majority of the undisbursed construction loans expected to fund over the next several quarters. Undisbursed homeowner association loans for the purpose of common area maintenance and repairs totaled $20.7 million at December 31, 2023, compared to $16.9 million at September 30, 2023. Revolving commercial business loan commitments totaled $50.4 million at December 31, 2023, compared to $62.2 million three months earlier. Utilization on these loans totaled 11.3% at December 31, 2023, compared to 23.4% at September 30, 2023. The weighted average rate on loan originations during the quarter was 7.14% compared to 7.06% in the preceding quarter.

The office building loan portfolio totaled $115.6 million at December 31, 2023 compared to $117.0 million at September 30, 2023. The average loan balance of this loan portfolio was $1.5 million and had an average loan-to-value ratio of 55.4% and an average debt service coverage ratio of 2.0x.

Total deposits decreased to $1.22 billion at December 31, 2023, compared to $1.24 billion at September 30, 2023, and $1.37 billion a year ago. The decrease during the current quarter was attributed to year end distributions, as well as customers using up deposit balances instead of borrowing due to the rate environment. Non-interest checking and interest checking accounts, as a percentage of total deposits, totaled 51.1% at December 31, 2023, compared to 49.5% at September 30, 2023 and 54.8% at December 31, 2022.

FHLB advances were $157.1 million at December 31, 2023 and were comprised of overnight advances and a short-term borrowing. This compared to $143.2 million at September 30, 2023 and $32.3 million a year earlier. These FHLB advances were utilized to partially offset the decrease in deposit balances and to fund the increase in loans receivable. The BTFP was created by the Federal Reserve to support and make additional funding available to eligible depository institutions to help banks meet the needs of their depositors. Riverview has registered and is eligible to utilize the BTFP. Riverview does not intend to utilize the BTFP, but could do so should the need arise.

Shareholders’ equity was $158.5 million at December 31, 2023, compared to $152.0 million three months earlier and one year earlier. Tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) was $6.21 at December 31, 2023, compared to $5.90 at September 30, 2023, and $5.79 at December 31, 2022. Riverview paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share on January 16, 2024, to shareholders of record on January 5, 2024.

Credit Quality

In accordance with changes in generally accepted accounting principles, Riverview adopted the new credit loss accounting standard known as Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) on April 1, 2023. Under CECL, the ACL is based on expected credit losses rather than on incurred losses. Adoption of CECL, which includes the ACL and allowance for unfunded loan commitments, resulted in a cumulative effect after-tax adjustment to stockholders’ equity as of April 1, 2023, of $53,000, which had no impact on earnings.

Asset quality remained stable, with non-performing loans, excluding SBA and USDA government guaranteed loans (“government guaranteed loans”) (non-GAAP), at $186,000 or 0.02% of total loans as of December 31, 2023, compared to $198,000, or 0.02% of total loans at September 30, 2023, and $236,000, or 0.02% of total loans at December 31, 2022. There were no non-performing government guaranteed loans at December 31, 2023 or at September 30, 2023. At December 31, 2022, including government guaranteed loans, non-performing assets were $12.6 million, or 0.79% of total assets. Previously, there were non-performing government guaranteed loans where payments had been delayed due to the servicing transfer of these loans between two third-party servicers and the service transfer has been completed.

Riverview recorded net loan recoveries of $15,000 during the third fiscal quarter. This compared to net loan recoveries of $3,000 for the preceding quarter. Riverview recorded no provision for credit losses for the third fiscal quarter, or for the preceding quarter.

Classified assets decreased to $215,000 at December 31, 2023, compared to $1.1 million at September 30, 2023 and $6.2 million at December 31, 2022. The classified asset to total capital ratio was 0.1% at December 31, 2023, compared to 0.6% at September 30, 2023 and 3.5% a year earlier. Criticized assets increased to $37.2 million at December 31, 2023, compared to $35.1 million at September 30, 2023 and $3.5 million at December 31, 2022. The increase in criticized assets during the current quarter was mainly due to one relationship downgrade that had plans in place to payoff outstanding loans or meet certain loan covenants, which was partially offset by some existing criticized loan payoffs. The Company does not believe this is a systemic credit issue.

The allowance for credit losses was $15.4 million at December 31, 2023, compared to $15.3 million at September 30, 2023, and $14.6 million one year earlier. The allowance for credit losses represented 1.51% of total loans at December 31, 2023 and at September 30, 2023, compared to 1.43% a year earlier. The allowance for credit losses to loans, net of government guaranteed loans (non-GAAP), was 1.59% at December 31, 2023, compared to 1.60% at September 30, 2023, and 1.52% a year earlier.

Capital

Riverview continues to maintain capital levels well in excess of the regulatory requirements to be categorized as “well capitalized” with a total risk-based capital ratio of 16.67% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.53% at December 31, 2023. Tangible common equity to average tangible assets ratio (non-GAAP) was 8.39% at December 31, 2023.

Stock Repurchase Program

In November 2022, Riverview announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2.5 million of the Company’s outstanding shares in the open market, based on prevailing market prices, or in privately negotiated transactions, over a period beginning on November 28, 2022, and continuing until the earlier of the completion of the repurchase or May 28, 2023, depending upon market conditions.

As of May 5, 2023, Riverview had completed the full $2.5 million authorized, repurchasing 394,334 shares at an average price of $6.34 per share.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. Management has presented these non-GAAP financial measures in this earnings release because it believes that they provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in Riverview's core operations reflected in the current quarter's results and facilitate the comparison of our performance with the performance of our peers. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for any analysis based on GAAP. Where applicable, comparable earnings information using GAAP financial measures is also presented. Because not all companies use the same calculations, our presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as calculated by other companies.
