CBB Bancorp, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results

LOS ANGELES--()--CBB Bancorp, Inc. ("CBB" or the "Company') (OTCQX: CBBI), the holding company of Commonwealth Business Bank, doing business as “CBB Bank” (the "Bank"), announced today net income of $7.0 million for the fourth quarter 2023 or $0.66 per diluted share, an increase of 5.0% compared to $6.7 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, in the prior quarter and a decrease of 4.5% compared to $7.3 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, in the same period last year.

Additionally, CBB reported net income for the year ended December 31, 2023 of $28.9 million, or $2.73 per diluted share, an increase of 3.4% from the $27.9 million, or $2.68 per diluted share, of net income for the year ended December 31, 2022.

OVERALL RESULTS

Net income for the fourth quarter 2023 increased from the prior quarter primarily due to higher gain on sale of SBA loans and lower noninterest expenses. The return on average assets for the fourth quarter 2023 was 1.54% compared to 1.46% for the third quarter 2023 and 1.64% for the fourth quarter 2022. The return on average equity for the fourth quarter 2023 was 11.94%, compared to 11.66% for the third quarter 2023 and 14.04% for the fourth quarter 2022. The net interest margin for the fourth quarter 2023 was 3.86%, compared to 4.01% for the third quarter 2023 and 4.59% for the fourth quarter 2022. The efficiency ratio for the fourth quarter 2023 was 49.45%, compared to 52.23% for the third quarter 2023 and 51.41% for the fourth quarter 2022.

James Hong, President and CEO, commented, “We are pleased to announce that the Bank’s performance was solid in 2023 with strong liquidity, credit, and capital metrics. While the Bank has sold comparatively less SBA loans in 2023 than in 2022, the higher yield on SBA loans retained by the Bank contributed to a comparatively higher net interest income contributing to overall profitability.”

INCOME STATEMENT

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the fourth quarter 2023 was $17.2 million, a decrease of $846 thousand, or 4.7%, from the third quarter 2023, and a decrease of $2.9 million, or 14.5%, from the fourth quarter 2022. The decrease in net interest income compared with both the third quarter 2023 and the fourth quarter 2022 was primarily due to the impact of relatively higher increases in interest expenses on deposits.

Net Interest Margin

The net interest margin for the fourth quarter 2023 was 3.86%, compared to 4.01% for the third quarter 2023 and 4.59% for the fourth quarter 2022. The decrease in the net interest margin from the prior quarter and from the same quarter of 2022 is due primarily to the rising cost of funds. The cost of funds for the fourth quarter 2023 increased to 3.20% compared to 2.91% for the third quarter 2023 and 1.19% for the fourth quarter 2022.

Provision for Credit Losses

No provision for credit losses was recorded for the fourth or the third quarter 2023 or for the fourth quarter 2022. Please refer to financial tables in this press release for additional information and trends.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income in the fourth quarter 2023 was $2.0 million, an increase of $504 thousand compared to $1.46 million for the third quarter 2023, and an increase of $1.0 million compared to $0.95 million in the fourth quarter 2022. The quarter-over-quarter increase in noninterest income was primarily the result of higher gain on sale of loans. The Bank sold $21.7 million in SBA loans with an average premium of 6.7% during the fourth quarter 2023 compared to sale of $9.2 million in SBA loans with an average premium of 8.3% during the third quarter 2023. There was no sale of loans during the fourth quarter 2022.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter 2023 was $9.5 million, compared to $10.2 million for the third quarter 2023 and $10.8 million for the fourth quarter 2022. Total noninterest expenses for the full year 2023 were $40.1 million compared to $43.2 million for the full year 2022.

Salaries and employee benefits expenses totaled $5.4 million for the fourth quarter 2023 compared to $5.6 million for the third quarter 2023 and $6.2 million for the fourth quarter 2022. Salaries and employee benefits expenses for 2023 were $22.6 million compared to $27.2 million in 2022.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for fourth quarter 2023 was 27.6% compared to 28.3% for third quarter 2023 and 28.2% for fourth quarter 2022. The effective tax rate for the year 2023 was 28.2% compared to 28.3% for 2022.

BALANCE SHEET

Investment Securities

Investment securities were $59.9 million at December 31, 2023, a decrease of $1.7 million or 2.8% at September 30, 2023, and a decrease of $12.7 million or 17.5% from December 31, 2022. The decreases were due to principal paydowns and an absence of portfolio additions during 2023. The unrealized losses on available for sale investments were approximately $0.4 million at December 31, 2023, $1.1 million at September 30, 2023, and $1.1 million at December 31, 2022, net of taxes. Management believes that the Bank currently has adequate liquidity and does not need to sell securities for liquidity purposes.

Loans Receivable

Loans receivable (including loans held-for-sale) at December 31, 2023, was $1.4 billion, an increase of $1.7 million, or 0.1% from September 30, 2023, and a decrease of $93.4 million, or 6.2%, from December 31, 2022. The slight rise in loans receivable since last quarter, paired with the reduction from the previous year, reflects the challenging loan origination landscape, influenced by diminished demand amid the prevailing high-interest rate environment.

Allowance for Credit Losses and Asset Quality

The allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2023 was $15.3 million or 1.27% of loans held-for-investment, compared to $15.6 million at September 30, 2023, or 1.27% of loans held-for-investment, and compared to $15.5 million at December 31, 2022, or 1.21% of total loans held-for-investment. Total Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2023 was $2.5 million, compared to $0.7 million at September 30, 2023, and $6.8 million at December 31, 2022. The coverage ratio of allowance for credit losses to nonperforming assets exceeded 615% at December 31, 2023.

SBA Loans Held-for-Sale

Total SBA loans held-for-sale at December 31, 2023, was $218.3 million, compared to $219.4 million at September 30 2023, and $230.4 million at December 31, 2022. We continue to assess SBA loan market premiums and plan to sell loans when it is advantageous to do so. See comments under “Noninterest Income,” and Table 7 for additional SBA loan origination and sale data.

Deposits

Total deposits were $1.5 billion at December 31, 2023, down $95.7 million, or 6.2%, from September 30, 2023, and down $84.7 million, or 5.5%, from December 31, 2022. DDAs were 21.6% of total deposits at December 31, 2023, compared to 26.6% at September 30, 2023, and 30.0% at December 31, 2022. NOW and MMDA deposits comprised 16.3% of total deposits at December 31, 2023 compared to 14.7% at September 30, 2023, and 17.9% at December 31, 2022. The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year declines in DDAs can be attributed to the higher interest rate environment. Depositors were eager to capitalize on the rising interest rates, leading to a decrease in DDAs and a simultaneous increase in CD and MMDA balances.

As of December 31, 2023, the average time deposits increased $4.6 million, or 0.6%, quarter-over-quarter, but increased $199.1 million, or 31.81%, from December 31, 2022. The change in deposit composition reflects depositors’ preferences for higher paying term deposits over money market and checking accounts as rates have risen significantly since March 2022. The primary reason for the decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits during 2023 was a decline in escrow-related deposits as the higher interest rate environment caused a significant slowdown in business activities for that sector.

Borrowings

The Bank has maintained $50.0 million of Federal Home Loan Bank advances since September 30, 2022. The blended cost of FHLB advances was 0.94% as of December 31, 2023.

Capital

Stockholders’ equity was $235.7 million at December 31, 2023 representing an increase of $6.8 million, or 3.0%, from $228.9 million at September 30, 2023. Tangible book value per share at December 31, 2023, was $22.03, compared with $21.39 at September 30, 2023, an increase of $0.64, or 3.0%, per share.

Each of the Company’s and the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios increased at December 31, 2023 when compared to September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Capital ratios continue to exceed the minimum levels required to be considered “Well Capitalized” under the applicable regulatory capital rules and in compliance with the fully phased-in Basel III requirements as shown on Table 11 in this press release.

The Common Equity Tier 1 Risked-Based Capital Ratios at December 31, 2023, were 18.08% and 18.05% for the Company and the Bank, respectively, and Total Capital Ratios were 19.30% and 19.27% for the Company and the Bank, respectively. The Common Equity Tier 1 Risked-Based Capital Ratios at December 31, 2022, were 14.92% and 14.87% for the Company and the Bank, respectively, and Total Capital Ratios were 16.08% and 16.03% for the Company and the Bank, respectively.
