Riverview Bancorp Earns $4.4 Million in Third Fiscal Quarter 2019 Highlighted by Strong Loan Growth and Expanding Net Interest Margin

VANCOUVER, Wash., Jan. 24, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Riverview Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq GSM: RVSB) (“Riverview” or the “Company”) today reported net income increased to $4.4 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in its third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2018, compared to $4.2 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the preceding quarter and $1.5 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the third fiscal quarter a year ago.

“We reported strong third quarter operating results, delivering steady loan growth and solid revenue while expanding our net interest margin,” said Kevin Lycklama, president and chief executive officer. “Overall, these factors contributed to a return on average assets of 1.53% and a return on average equity of 13.90% for the quarter. The economic fundamentals in our market are strong and we remain optimistic about the upcoming fiscal year.”

Third Quarter Highlights (at or for the period ended December 31, 2018)

Income Statement

Third quarter net interest income was $11.7 million, a modest increase compared to $11.6 million in the preceding quarter, and an $884,000 increase compared to $10.8 million in the third fiscal quarter a year ago. The increase in net interest income was due to higher rates on earning assets and an increase in outstanding loans. In the first nine months of fiscal 2019, net interest income increased 8.8% to $34.8 million, compared to $32.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018.

“Our robust loan growth, coupled with our low cost of deposits, contributed to the net interest margin expansion during the quarter,” said David Lam, executive vice president and chief financial officer. “However, increased competition for loans and deposits and a flattening yield curve remains a challenge.”

Riverview’s third fiscal quarter net interest margin increased six basis points to 4.39% compared to 4.33% in the second fiscal quarter and increased 33 basis points when compared to 4.06% in the third fiscal quarter a year ago. In the preceding quarter, the collection of $98,000 of non-accrual interest from a prior charged-off loan added four basis points to the NIM. The accretion on purchased loans totaled $172,000 during the current quarter and $152,000 during the linked quarter resulting in a seven basis point increase in the NIM for both periods. In the first nine months of fiscal 2019, Riverview’s NIM increased 31 basis points to 4.37%, compared to the same period a year earlier.

The weighted average rate on loans originated during the quarter ended December 31, 2018, increased to 6.04% compared to 5.63% for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, and 4.75% for the quarter ended December 31, 2017.

Non-interest income was $2.8 million in the third fiscal quarter compared to $3.0 million in the preceding quarter and $2.9 million in the same quarter a year ago. Year to date, non-interest income was $8.9 million compared to $8.3 million in the same period in the prior year. During the preceding quarter, other non-interest income included a net gain of approximately $70,000 on the sale of deposit accounts associated with the closing of the Company’s Longview, WA branch. Additionally, prepayment fees decreased $122,000 to $54,000 for the third fiscal quarter compared to $176,000 in the preceding quarter.

Asset management fees were $935,000 in the third fiscal quarter of 2019 compared to $943,000 in the preceding quarter and $911,000 in the third fiscal quarter a year ago. Riverview Trust Company’s assets under management decreased to $570.4 million at December 31, 2018, compared to $614.0 million three months earlier but increased compared to $490.1 million one year earlier. The current quarter decrease was primarily due to the recent stock market volatility.

The efficiency ratio improved to 60.9% for the third fiscal quarter compared to 61.0% in the preceding quarter and 62.5% in the third fiscal quarter a year ago. Non-interest expense decreased to $8.8 million during the third fiscal quarter of 2019 compared to $8.9 million in the preceding quarter, primarily related to a $355,000 gain on sale of the building related to the Longview branch closing. Offsetting this decrease was an increase in salaries and employee benefits and professional fees as the Company continues to invest in employees and technology infrastructure. In the first nine months of fiscal 2019, non-interest expense was $26.7 million compared to $26.5 million in the same period a year earlier.

Riverview’s effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 was 22.4% compared to 47.6% for the same prior year period. The decrease was a result of the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017.

Balance Sheet Review

Riverview’s total loans increased $18.8 million during the quarter to $868.6 million at December 31, 2018, an annualized growth rate of 8.8%. The increase was primarily concentrated in commercial construction loans and single purpose commercial real estate facilities. Total loan balances also continue to be impacted by elevated pay downs on existing loans.

The loan pipeline totaled $33.6 million at December 31, 2018 compared to $91.9 million at the end of the prior quarter. Undisbursed construction loans totaled $79.0 million at December 31, 2018 compared to $82.0 million three months earlier. The majority of the undisbursed construction loans are expected to fund over the next several quarters.

“Loan demand remains robust in our market area, and our lending teams are doing an outstanding job of capitalizing on opportunities,” said Lycklama. “While we did experience a decrease in our loan pipeline, this was mostly expected due to seasonal conditions as well as the strong loan originations during the quarter.”

Total deposits decreased to $943.6 million at December 31, 2018 compared to $982.3 million three months earlier and $972.2 million a year ago. Money market, certificates of deposit and other interest-rate sensitive accounts continue to experience the greatest pressure due to an increase in competition and pricing pressures in our market area.

Shareholders’ equity improved to $128.1 million at December 31, 2018, compared to $122.4 million three months earlier and $116.8 million a year earlier. Tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) increased to $4.43 at December 31, 2018, compared to $4.17 at September 30, 2018 and $3.93 at December 31, 2017. A quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share was paid on January 22, 2019.

Credit Quality

As a result of improving asset quality and a low level of net charge-offs, Riverview recorded no provision for loan losses during the third fiscal quarter of 2019. This compares to a $250,000 recapture for loan losses in the preceding quarter and no provision for loan losses for the third fiscal quarter a year ago.

Non-performing loans improved to $1.6 million, or 0.19% of total loans, at December 31, 2018, compared to $2.3 million, or 0.27% of total loans, three months earlier and $2.7 million, or 0.33% of total loans at December 31, 2017. Riverview had no real estate owned balances at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018. Riverview had $298,000 in real estate owned balances as of December 31, 2017.

Net loan charge offs were $11,000 during the third fiscal quarter of 2019 compared to net loan charge offs of $86,000 during the second fiscal quarter of 2019 and net loan recoveries of $250,000 during the third fiscal quarter a year ago.

Classified assets totaled $6.0 million at December 31, 2018, compared to $6.2 million at September 30, 2018, and $6.9 million at December 31, 2017. The classified asset to total capital ratio was 4.4% at December 31, 2018, compared to 4.7% three months earlier and 5.7% a year earlier.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $11.5 million, which was unchanged compared to the preceding quarter end. The allowance for loan losses represented 1.32% of total loans at December 31, 2018, compared to 1.35% of total loans at September 30, 2018. 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 $1.7 million at December 31, 2018, compared to $1.9 million at the end of the prior quarter.

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 16.35% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 11.22% at December 31, 2018. In addition, at that date the Company’s tangible common equity to average tangible assets ratio (non-GAAP) was 8.91%.

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. We believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with information useful in understanding the Company’s financial performance; however, readers of this report are urged to review these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with GAAP results as reported.

Financial measures that exclude intangible assets are non-GAAP measures. To provide investors with a broader understanding of capital adequacy, Riverview provides non-GAAP financial measures for tangible common equity, along with the GAAP measure. Tangible shareholders’ equity is calculated as shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets. In addition, tangible assets are total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets. We calculate tangible book value per share by dividing tangible shareholders’ equity by the number of common shares outstanding. This non-GAAP financial measure has inherent limitations, is not required to be uniformly applied and is not audited. Further, the non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for book value per share or total shareholders’ equity determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures are presented below.
