Riverview Bancorp Earns $3.0 Million in Fourth Fiscal Quarter 2023 and $18.1 Million for Fiscal Year 2023






VANCOUVER, Wash., April 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Riverview Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq GSM: RVSB) (“Riverview” or the “Company”) today reported earnings of $3.0 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the fourth fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to $5.2 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, in the third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022, and $4.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the fourth fiscal quarter a year ago. The fourth fiscal quarter of 2023 included a $750,000 provision for loan losses. This compared to no provision for loan losses in the preceding quarter, and a $650,000 recapture of a provision for loan losses in the fourth fiscal quarter a year ago.

For fiscal 2023, net income was $18.1 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, compared to $21.8 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, in fiscal 2022. Fiscal 2023 results included a $750,000 provision for loan losses, compared to a $4.6 million recapture of a provision for loan losses in fiscal 2022.

“We closed out our fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year end with strong results despite the challenges across the entire banking industry,” stated Kevin Lycklama, president and chief executive officer. “We have served our communities for the past 100 years through a conservative operating methodology while managing our risk profile to ensure a safe and sound approach to banking. The continued rise in interest rates, coupled with a slowing economic outlook, has had an impact on our banking operations. Our capital levels and excess liquidity positions remain strong, and together with revenue generation and stable credit quality, we have a solid foundation upon which to continue to grow in fiscal 2024.”

Income Statement Review

Riverview’s net interest income was $11.8 million in the current quarter, compared to $13.7 million in the preceding quarter, and $11.9 million in the fourth 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. Prior year net interest income also included interest and fee income earned on PPP loans and net fees on loan prepayments. The adjusted net interest income (non-GAAP) was $11.6 million in the current quarter compared to $13.3 million in the preceding quarter and $11.1 million in the fourth fiscal quarter a year ago. In fiscal 2023, net interest income increased to $51.6 million compared to $47.6 million in fiscal 2022.

During the fourth quarter and the third quarter of fiscal 2023, there was an insignificant amount of interest and net fee income earned through PPP loan forgiveness and normal amortization. This compared to $440,000 of interest and net fee income on PPP loans during the fourth quarter of the prior year.

Riverview’s NIM was 3.16% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, a 32 basis-point contraction compared to 3.48% in the preceding quarter and an 18 basis-point increase compared to 2.98% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. “We experienced NIM contraction during the current quarter, compared to the prior quarter, as the rising cost of funds outpaced earning asset yields,” said David Lam, executive vice president and chief financial officer. In fiscal 2023, NIM expanded 23 basis points to 3.26% compared to 3.03% in fiscal 2022.

Investment securities totaled $455.3 million at March 31, 2023, compared to $458.9 million at December 31, 2022. The average securities balances for the quarters ended March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, and March 31, 2022, were $483.3 million, $491.2 million, and $410.4 million, respectively. The weighted average yields on securities balances for those same periods were 2.07%, 2.01%, and 1.63%, respectively. The duration of the investment portfolio at March 31, 2023 was approximately 5.2 years. The anticipated investment cashflows over the next twelve months is approximately $40.8 million.

Riverview’s yield on loans were 4.50% during both the fourth fiscal quarter, and the preceding quarter, compared to 4.43% in the fourth fiscal quarter a year ago. Deposit costs increased to 0.19% during the fourth fiscal quarter compared to 0.08% in the preceding quarter, and in the fourth fiscal quarter a year ago.

Non-interest income was unchanged at $3.0 million during the fourth fiscal quarter compared to both the preceding quarter and the fourth fiscal quarter of 2022. Brokered loan fees have slowed due to the decrease in mortgage activity and rising interest rates. In fiscal 2023, non-interest income was $12.2 million compared to $12.7 million in fiscal 2022, which included a one-time BOLI payout of $500,000.

Asset management fees increased to $1.3 million during the fourth fiscal quarter compared to $1.1 million in the preceding quarter, and in the fourth fiscal quarter a year ago. Riverview Trust Company’s assets under management were $890.6 million at March 31, 2023, compared to $855.9 million at December 31, 2022 and $1.3 billion at March 31, 2022. The decrease compared to a year ago was the result of a single large client’s planned conclusion of trust services.

Non-interest expense was $10.0 million during the fourth quarter, compared to $9.8 million in the preceding quarter and $10.1 million in the fourth fiscal quarter a year ago. In fiscal 2023, non-interest expense was $39.4 million compared to $36.7 million in fiscal 2022. The prior year period included a $1.0 million gain on sale of a building. Salary and employee benefits increased modestly during the quarter and for the year due to wage pressures and the competitive landscape for attracting and retaining employees. Occupancy and depreciation expense increased due to the Company’s rebranding effort in addition to updates and modernization initiatives completed at our facilities. The increase in the FDIC insurance premiums was the result of an increase in the FDIC deposit insurance assessment rate effective January 1, 2023. Advertising and marketing expenses were higher as Riverview expanded its efforts in promoting customer acquisition and branding in the community. The efficiency ratio was 67.3% for the fourth fiscal quarter compared to 59.1% in the preceding quarter and 68.0% in the fourth fiscal quarter a year ago.

Return on average assets was 0.76% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to 1.27% in the preceding quarter. Return on average equity and return on average tangible equity (non-GAAP) were 7.80% and 9.48%, respectively, compared to 13.85% and 16.96%, respectively, for the prior quarter.

Riverview’s effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 was 27.0%, compared to 23.1% for the preceding quarter and 23.7% for the year ago quarter. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2023 was 23.7% compared to 22.8% for fiscal 2022. The effective tax rate for both the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 as well as for fiscal 2023 was affected by the apportioned income for state and local jurisdictions where we do business.

Balance Sheet Review

Total loans were $1.01 billion at March 31, 2023, compared to $1.02 billion three months earlier and $990.4 million a year ago. The decrease compared to the prior quarter was mainly due to normal amortization and loan payoffs. Riverview’s loan pipeline totaled $54.5 million at March 31, 2023, compared to $27.3 million at the end of the prior quarter. New loan originations during the quarter totaled $20.8 million compared to $28.9 million in the preceding quarter and $92.9 million in the fourth quarter a year ago.

Undisbursed construction loans totaled $36.8 million at March 31, 2023, compared to $44.0 million at December 31, 2022, 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 $23.2 million at March 31, 2023, compared to $25.0 million at December 31, 2022. Revolving commercial business loan commitments totaled $62.5 million at March 31, 2023, compared to $63.5 million three months earlier. Utilization on these loans totaled 20.3% at March 31, 2023, compared to 19.3% at December 31, 2022. The weighted average rate on loan originations during the quarter was 6.80% compared to 5.75% in the preceding quarter.

The office building loan portfolio totaled $117.0 million at March 31, 2023 compared to $124.7 million a year ago. The average loan balance of this loan portfolio was $1.4 million and had an average loan-to-value ratio of 56.6% and an average debt service coverage ratio of 1.96%.

Total deposits were $1.27 billion at March 31, 2023, compared to $1.37 billion at December 31, 2022 and $1.53 billion a year ago. The decrease was attributed to deposit pricing pressures and customers seeking out higher yielding investment alternatives, including Riverview Trust Company’s money market accounts. Non-interest checking and interest checking accounts, as a percentage of total deposits, totaled 52.1% at March 31, 2023.

FHLB advances were $123.8 million at March 31, 2023 and were comprised of overnight advances and a short-term borrowing. This compared to $32.3 million at December 31, 2022 and no outstanding FHLB advances a year earlier. These FHLB advances were utilized to partially offset the decrease in deposit balances. The Bank Term Funding Program (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 $155.2 million at March 31, 2023, compared to $152.0 million three months earlier and $157.2 million a year earlier. The decrease in shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2023, compared to a year ago was primarily due to a $8.4 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to an increase in the unrealized loss on available for sale securities, reflecting the increase in interest rates over the last few quarters offset by net income of $18.1 million. Tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) was $6.02 at March 31, 2023, compared to $5.79 at December 31, 2022, and $5.86 at March 31, 2022. Riverview paid a quarterly cash dividend to $0.06 per share on April 20, 2023, to shareholders of record on April 10, 2023.

Credit Quality

Asset quality remained strong, with non-performing loans, excluding SBA and USDA government guaranteed loans (“government guaranteed loans”) (non-GAAP), at $265,000, or 0.03% of total loans as of March 31, 2023, compared to $236,000, or 0.02% of total loans at December 31, 2022, and $273,000, or 0.03% of total loans at March 31, 2022. Including government guaranteed loans, non-performing assets were $1.9 million, or 0.12% of total assets, at March 31, 2023, compared to $12.6 million, or 0.79% of total assets, three months earlier and $22.1 million, or 1.27% of total assets, at March 31, 2022. The $1.9 million includes non-performing government guaranteed loans where payments have been delayed due to the servicing transfer of these loans between two third-party servicers. Once the servicing transfer is complete, Riverview expects to receive the delayed payments and expects non-performing assets to decrease. During the quarter, these non-performing government guaranteed loan balances were reduced significantly by $10.8 million. The Company continues to work through the reconciliation of the remaining two government guaranteed loans with the third-party servicer.

Riverview recorded net loan recoveries of $1,000 during the fourth fiscal quarter. This compared to net loan recoveries of $6,000 for the preceding quarter. Riverview recorded a provision for loan losses of $750,000 for the fourth fiscal quarter as a result of a downgrade in a mixed use office building located in downtown Portland. This loan remains well secured with a loan-to-value of approximately 36%. The Company does not expect to recognize any loss on this loan. Although commercial real estate has come under additional scrutiny and focus, Riverview has taken additional steps in reviewing its office building loan portfolio and is comfortable with the current credit quality and performance. Although Riverview recorded a provision for loan losses, credit quality remains strong and supported by conservative underwriting standards. This compared to no provision for loan losses for the third fiscal quarter, and a $650,000 recapture of a provision for loan losses in the fourth fiscal quarter a year ago.

Classified assets were $2.6 million at March 31, 2023, compared to $6.2 million at December 31, 2022, and $6.4 million at March 31, 2022. The classified asset to total capital ratio was 1.5% at March 31, 2023, compared to 3.5% three months earlier and 3.8% a year earlier. Criticized assets were $19.1 million at March 31, 2023, compared to $3.5 million at December 31, 2022 and $7.8 million at March 31, 2022. The increase in criticized assets during the current quarter was due to the above mentioned single lending relationship downgrade on a Downtown Portland mixed use office building with a very low loan-to-value. Riverview believes the property downgrade is isolated and not a systemic credit issue.

The allowance for loan losses was $15.3 million at March 31, 2023, compared to $14.6 million at December 31, 2022, and $14.5 million one year earlier. The allowance for loan losses represented 1.52% of total loans at March 31, 2023, compared to 1.43% at December 31, 2022, and 1.47% a year earlier. The allowance for loan losses to loans, net of SBA guaranteed loans (including SBA purchased and PPP loans) (non-GAAP), was 1.61% at March 31, 2023, compared to 1.52% at December 31, 2022, and 1.57% a year earlier. Included in the carrying value of loans are net discounts on the MBank purchased loans, which may reduce the need for an allowance for loan losses on these loans because they are carried at an amount below the outstanding principal balance. The remaining net discount on these purchased loans was $228,000 at March 31, 2023, compared to $255,000 three months 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 16.94% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.47% at March 31, 2023. Tangible common equity to average tangible assets ratio (non-GAAP) was 8.18% at March 31, 2023.

Stock Repurchase Program

During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2023, the Company repurchased 274,375 shares at an average price of $6.71 per share. Approximately $577,000 remains available to repurchase common stock under the current repurchase plan, which expires on May 28, 2023.

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. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures, see the tables below.
