FVCBankcorp, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2024 Earnings; Net Interest Income and Margin Improvement

FAIRFAX, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FVCBankcorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: FVCB) (the “Company”) today reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2024.

First Quarter Selected Financial Highlights

• Increase in Net Interest Income and Margin. Net interest margin increased 10 basis points, or 4%, to 2.47% for the first quarter of 2024, compared to 2.37% for the fourth quarter of 2023. Net interest income increased $133 thousand to $12.8 million, or 1%, compared to $12.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. Interest income increased $176 thousand quarter-over-quarter while interest expense only increased $43 thousand for the same period.
• Strong Credit Quality. Nonperforming loans totaled $3.0 million at March 31, 2024, or 0.14% of total assets, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 33%, from the year ago quarter ended March 31, 2023. Compared to December 31, 2023, nonperforming loans increased $1.2 million at March 31, 2024. The Company recorded net recoveries of $30 thousand during the first quarter of 2024, or 0.01% of average total loans.
• Prudent Balance Sheet Repositioning. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company surrendered $48.0 million of its bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”). These policies yielded 2.74% (3.34% on a tax-equivalent basis). This transaction resulted in a nonrecurring increase of $2.4 million to the Company’s tax provisioning related to the gain associated with the cash payout, which is included in the Company’s first quarter earnings. The projected earn-back period is approximately one year. The Company used the proceeds to pay down high cost funding and fund new loan growth. The full impact of the surrender to net interest income will be realized during the second quarter of 2024.
• Strong, Well Capitalized Balance Sheet. All of FVCbank’s (the “Bank”) regulatory capital components and ratios were well in excess of thresholds required to be considered "well capitalized", with total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets of 14.23% at March 31, 2024, compared to 13.83% at December 31, 2023. The tangible common equity ("TCE") to total assets ("TA") ratio for the Bank increased to 10.30% at March 31, 2024, from 8.92% at March 31, 2023. The Bank’s investment securities are classified as available-for-sale, and therefore the decrease in market value of these securities is fully reflected in the TCE/TA ratio.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded net income of $1.3 million, or $0.07 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $621 thousand, or $0.03 diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. As a result of the above mentioned repositioning, the quarter ended March 31, 2024 results include additional provision for income taxes totaling $2.4 million related to the cumulative increases in BOLI policy cash values that were taxable upon the policies’ surrender. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 included losses from the sale of available-for-sale investment securities totaling $4.6 million ($3.6 million after-tax).

Commercial bank operating earnings (non-GAAP), which exclude the nonrecurring taxes on the surrender of the Company’s BOLI policies, the after-tax losses on the sale of investment securities, office space reduction costs, severance costs and the nonrecurring valuation adjustment of a minority investment, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $3.7 million and $2.8 million, respectively, an increase of $948 thousand. Diluted commercial bank operating earnings per share (non-GAAP) for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $0.20 and $0.15, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, pre-tax pre-provision operating income (non-GAAP), which also excludes the nonrecurring taxes on the BOLI surrender, losses on securities sales, office space reduction costs, severance costs and a nonrecurring valuation adjustment for a minority investment was $4.6 million and $3.5 million, respectively, an increase of $1.1 million.

The Company considers commercial bank operating earnings and pre-tax pre-provision operating income useful comparative financial measures of the Company’s operating performance over multiple periods. Both commercial bank operating earnings and pre-tax pre-provision operating income are determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable financial measure in accordance with GAAP can be found in the tables below.

Management Comments

David W. Pijor, Esq., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said:

“We are pleased that our continued efforts to improve our net interest margin and to decrease noninterest expense are demonstrated in our results for the first quarter of 2024.

We continue to increase core relationships in our market area, through both the origination of over $42 million in new loans this quarter and $113 million in new non-time deposit accounts. We remain committed to providing personalized client service coupled, with innovative technology which continues to drive new customer relationships through the efforts of our dedicated team of bankers who exemplify our Bank’s core values each day.

Earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 contributed $1.3 million to the increase in shareholders’ equity.

Nonaccrual loans and loans 90 days or more past due at March 31, 2024 totaled $3.0 million, or 0.14% of total assets, compared to $1.8 million, or 0.08% of total assets, at December 31, 2023. The increase is nonperforming loans for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 is primarily a result of one commercial & industrial loan relationship that was placed on nonaccrual. Watchlist credits decreased to $28.0 million at March 31, 2024, a decrease of $800 thousand from December 31, 2023, as the Company proactivity manages the credit quality of its loan portfolio, including reducing its commercial real estate concentrations, which has resulted in limited credit losses over its history. The Company had no other real estate owned at March 31, 2024.

The Company recorded net recoveries of $30 thousand during the first quarter of 2024. For each of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the ACL was $18.9 million.

The loans shown in the above table exhibit strong credit quality, reflecting only one classified delinquency at March 31, 2024 totaling $851 thousand. During its assessment of the allowance for credit losses, the Company addressed the credit risks associated with these portfolio segments and believes that as a result of its conservative underwriting discipline at loan origination and its ongoing loan monitoring procedures, the Company has appropriately reserved for possible credit concerns in the event of a downturn in economic activity.

Minority Investment in Mortgage Banking Operation

In August 2021, the Company acquired a membership interest in ACM to diversify its loan portfolio while providing competitive residential mortgage products to its customers and to generate additional revenue. The Company’s investment in ACM is reflected as a nonconsolidated minority investment, and as such, the Company’s income generated from the investment is included in non-interest income. For the first quarter of 2024, the Company reported a pre-tax loss of $226 thousand compared to a pre-tax loss of $1.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 related to its investment in ACM. ACM management is continuing to evaluate opportunities to further reduce expenses and increase revenues.

Income Statement

The Company recorded net income of $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to net income of $621 thousand for the same period of 2023. Both first quarter periods were impacted by balance sheet repositioning transactions. Net income for the first quarter of 2024 was impacted by the additional taxes recorded for the surrender of the Company’s BOLI. Excluding this nonrecurring tax assessment, Bank operating earnings (non-GAAP) totaled $3.7 million for the first quarter of 2024. For the first quarter of 2023, net income was impacted by pre-tax losses recorded on the sale of investment securities available-for-sale totaling $4.6 million. Excluding these losses, Bank operating earnings (non-GAAP) totaled $4.2 million for the first quarter of 2023.

Net interest income increased $133 thousand to $12.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, and decreased of $1.2 million, or 9%, compared to the year ago quarter. Compared to the year ago quarter ended March 31, 2023, the decrease in net interest income for the first quarter of 2024 is primarily due to an increase in funding costs, which have increased precipitously as a result of Federal Reserve monetary policy coupled with the need to meet intense competition from market area banks, brokerages and the U.S. Treasury.

The Company's net interest margin increased 10 basis points to 2.47% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared to 2.37% for the linked quarter ended December 31, 2023 and decreased 13 basis points from 2.60% for the year ago quarter ended March 31, 2023. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company surrendered $48.0 million in BOLI, the net proceeds of which was used to replace high cost fundings and fund new loan growth. The full impact of the net proceeds of the BOLI surrender will be realized during the second quarter of 2024 as the Company will have use of the net proceeds for a complete quarter.

Total interest income increased $1.5 million, or 6%, for the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same quarter of 2023. On a linked quarter basis, interest income increased $176 thousand for the first quarter of 2024 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2023. Interest income on loans increased $1.9 million, or 8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period of 2023. Compared to the linked quarter, interest income on loans increased $566 thousand, or 2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily as a result of an increase in average loans and an increase in loan yields. Loan yields increased 8 basis points to 5.50% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023, and increased 39 basis points compared to the year ago quarter. Yield on earning assets increased 51 basis points to 5.15% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023, partially as a result of the balance sheet repositionings completed during 2023 along with the repricing of the Company’s variable rate loan portfolio and new loan originations.

At March 31, 2024, approximately $353 million, or 24%, of the Company’s commercial loan portfolio is expected to reprice in the next 12 months, an additional 20% will reprice within the following 24-36 months, and 31% will reprice within the next three to five years. In the near term, the Company’s efforts to attain appropriate yields on new originations and the repricing of the commercial loan portfolio are expected to provide improvement in loan yields.

Total interest expense for each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $14.0 million, compared to $11.3 million for the year ago quarter ended March 31, 2023. Interest expense on deposits decreased $212 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023, reflecting the Company’s continued focus on maintaining core deposit pricing. Compared to the year ago quarter ended March 31, 2023, interest expense on deposits increased $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The cost of deposits for the first quarter of 2024 was 2.81% compared to 2.78% for the fourth quarter of 2023, an increase of 3 basis points compared to an increase of 84 basis points from 1.97% for the year-ago fourth quarter.

The Company’s cumulative deposit beta (calculated comparing the change in deposit interest rates from March 31, 2022 to March 31, 2024 including noninterest-bearing deposits and excluding wholesale deposits) remained at approximately 42% for both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, since the Federal Reserve began increasing short-term interest rates.

Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 totaled $395 thousand compared to a loss of $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and a loss of $9.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The losses recorded during the first quarter of 2023 and fourth quarter of 2023 were a result of two balance sheet repositionings whereby the Company sold investment securities available-for-sale for pretax losses of $4.6 million and $11.0 million, respectively. In addition, included in noninterest income for the three months ended December 31, 2023 was a fair value adjustment to a minority investment which increased noninterest income by $1.6 million. The three months ended March 31, 2024 does not have a similar fair value adjustment.

Fee income from loans was $49 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to $77 thousand for the first quarter of 2023. Service charges on deposit accounts totaled $261 thousand for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $215 thousand for the year ago quarter. Income from bank-owned life insurance decreased $142 thousand to $190 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $332 thousand for the same period of 2023, a direct result of the surrendered BOLI that occurred during the first quarter of 2024.

Noninterest expense totaled $8.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $777 thousand, or 8%, compared to $9.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, and decreased $385 thousand, or 4%, compared to the year ago quarter. Included in noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2023 is $336 thousand related to office space reductions and severance costs. Excluding the office space reductions and severance costs, noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $8.6 million and $9.1 million, respectively, a decrease of $441 thousand, or 5%.

The decrease for the first quarter of 2024 was primarily related to salaries and benefits expense which decreased $738 thousand when compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, and decreased $484 thousand when compared to the year ago quarter. Salary expense was the main driver for these decreases, a result of reduced staffing and process improvement through the use of technology. Full-time equivalent employees have decreased from 134 at March 31, 2023, and from 118 at December 31, 2023 to 111 at March 31, 2024.

Occupancy expense decreased $105 thousand to $522 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the year ago quarter ended March 31, 2023, primarily as a result of the office space reduction efforts completed during 2023. Internet banking and software expense increased $133 thousand to $694 thousand for the first quarter of 2024 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023, primarily as a result of the implementation of enhanced customer software solutions. Other operating expenses totaled $1.4 million for each of the first quarters of 2024 and 2023 compared to $1.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The Company continues to identify and assess opportunities to reduce operating expenses.

The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to an income tax benefit of $486 thousand for the same period in 2023. The provision for income taxes for the first quarter of 2024 includes an additional $2.4 million which is associated with the Company’s surrendering of its BOLI policies.

The following factors, among others, could cause our financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in such forward-looking statements: general business and economic conditions, including higher inflation and its impacts, nationally or in the markets that the Company serves could adversely affect, among other things, real estate valuations, unemployment levels, the ability of businesses to remain viable, consumer and business confidence, and consumer or business spending, which could lead to decreases in demand for loans, deposits, and other financial services that the Company provides and increases in loan delinquencies and defaults; the impact of the interest rate environment on our business, financial condition and results of operation, and its impact on the composition and costs of deposits, loan demand, and the values and liquidity of loan collateral, securities, and interest sensitive assets and liabilities; changes in the Company’s liquidity requirements could be adversely affected by changes in its assets and liabilities; changes in the assumptions underlying the establishment of reserves for possible credit losses and the possibility that future credit losses may be higher than currently expected; changes in market conditions, specifically declines in the commercial and residential real estate market, volatility and disruption of the capital and credit markets, and soundness of other financial institutions the Company does business with; the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; the Company’s investment securities portfolio is subject to credit risk, market risk, and liquidity risk as well as changes in the estimates used to value the securities in the portfolio; declines in the Company’s common stock price or the occurrence of what management would deem to be a triggering event that could, under certain circumstances, cause us to record a noncash impairment charge to earnings in future periods; geopolitical conditions, including acts or threats of terrorism, or actions taken by the United States or other governments in response to acts or threats of terrorism and/or military conflicts, which could impact business and economic conditions in the United States and abroad; the occurrence of significant natural disasters, including severe weather conditions, floods, health related issues or emergencies, and other catastrophic events; the management of risks inherent in the Company’s real estate loan portfolio, and the risk of a prolonged downturn in the real estate market, which could impair the value of loan collateral and the ability to sell collateral upon any foreclosure; the impact of changes in bank regulatory conditions, including laws, regulations and policies concerning capital requirements, deposit insurance premiums, taxes, securities, and the application thereof by regulatory bodies; the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted from time to time by bank regulatory agencies, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other accounting standards setting bodies; competitive pressures among financial services companies, including the timely development of competitive new products and services and the acceptance of these products and services by new and existing customers; the effect of acquisitions and partnerships the Company may make, including, without limitation, the failure to achieve the expected revenue growth and/or expense savings from such acquisitions; the Company’s involvement, from time to time, in legal proceedings and examination and remedial actions by regulators; and potential exposure to fraud, negligence, computer theft and cyber-crime, and the Company’s ability to maintain the security of its data processing and information technology systems. The foregoing factors should not be considered exhaustive and should be read together with other cautionary statements that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, including those discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors,” and in the Company’s other periodic and current reports filed with the SEC. If one or more of the factors affecting our forward-looking information and statements proves incorrect, then our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, forward-looking information and statements contained in this press release. Therefore, the Company cautions you not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking information and statements. We will not update the forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting the forward-looking statements. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict their occurrence or how they will affect the Company’s operations, financial condition or results of operations.
