Performance reflects improvement across a range of metrics such as deposit growth, noninterest expense reduction, and nonperforming asset reduction

Bank to complete exit from fintech banking-as-a-service depository operations by the end of 2024

Regulatory remediation efforts on track

RICHMOND, Va., Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Ridge Bankshares, Inc. (the "Company") (NYSE:BRBS), the holding company of Blue Ridge Bank, National Association ("Blue Ridge Bank" or the "Bank") and BRB Financial Group, Inc. ("BRB Financial Group"), today announced financial results for the quarter and year-to-date period ended September 30, 2024.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company reported net income of $0.9 million, or $0.01 per diluted common share, compared to a net loss of $11.4 million, or $0.47 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, and a net loss of $41.4 million, or $2.18 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2023. Net income for the third quarter of 2024 included a $6.6 million after-tax recovery of credit losses on a specialty finance loan for which the sale of the loan was completed in the quarter upon the receipt of all contractual amounts due. The second quarter 2024 loss included a $6.7 million non-cash, after-tax negative fair value adjustment recorded for an equity investment in a fintech company. The third quarter 2023 net loss included a non-cash, after-tax goodwill impairment charge of $26.8 million, which was the entirety of the goodwill balance, and a $4.7 million after-tax settlement reserve for the previously disclosed and now settled Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") litigation assumed in the 2019 acquisition of Virginia Community Bankshares, Inc ("VCB").

For the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2024, the Company reported a net loss of $13.4 million, or $0.34 per diluted common share, compared to a net loss of $46.0 million, or $2.43 per diluted common share, for the same period of 2023.

A Message From Blue Ridge Bankshares, Inc. President and CEO, G. William "Billy" Beale:

"Our 2024 third quarter marks one year since we began – in earnest – our journey toward restoring Blue Ridge Bank to its core strengths as a community-focused banking institution.

"Today, we are focused on three vital areas of initiative: our remediation work in response to the directives of our primary regulator; our initiatives to improve operational efficiency across the organization; and third, positioning Blue Ridge Bank for future growth.

"During our third quarter, we advanced and generated additional momentum in all three areas. We are increasingly seeing the benefits of these initiatives in several key metrics that reflect a healthier Blue Ridge Bank:

• "With respect to our regulatory remediation work, we made additional progress in exiting our fintech banking-as-a-service ("BaaS") deposit operations. I am pleased to say that we remain ahead of schedule on this initiative and expect to be fully exited from this business by the end of the year. Consequently, deposits from fintech BaaS sources were down to only 3% of total deposits at quarter end. This is reduced from 18% of total deposits on a year-over-year basis.
• "The second area of initiative is our focus on operational efficiency. Over the next several quarters, we will be accelerating our efforts to drive new levels of efficiency across our entire organization. We have already begun to take some important steps down this path. For the third quarter, our noninterest expense was sequentially down nearly 10% from the second quarter and approximately 30% lower than the third quarter of last year when excluding the goodwill impairment charge.
• "The third vital area of initiative is pursuing profitable growth. Blue Ridge Bank's proximity to strong commercial and consumer markets and favorable demographic trends across Virginia gives us opportunities we can take full advantage of. This combined with our capital levels necessary to fuel growth and our new commercial banking leader will help give us the ability to continue to drive deposit and to renew loan growth. Encouragingly, during the 2024 third quarter, we grew our deposits, excluding fintech-related and wholesale, by $74 million and by $144 million year-to-date. This is the third consecutive quarter we were able to grow this deposit base and lower our reliance on fintech-related deposits and wholesale funding.
• "Alongside these initiatives has been our focus on improving the quality and strength of our lending portfolio, which we have heavily scrutinized over the past year. At the end of the third quarter, our nonperforming loans to total assets ratio was 1.1%. This is compared to 1.4% as of the prior quarter-end and 2.5% as of the third quarter of last year. Under the guidance of our credit risk leadership and revised loan policy, I believe we have a much tighter and stronger credit profile today.

"As we exit the fintech BaaS business, we have moved to reposition the balance sheet to reflect a more traditional community bank. This multi-year process will focus on growing deposits in our footprint, reducing the number of out-of-market loans, and decreasing dependency on brokered deposits. We have achieved good progress on all of these during 2024.

"As we head toward the end of the year, I'm confident that we will finish 2024 in a fundamentally stronger position than we began. I am hopeful that we will continue to see further progress in those key metrics that are the best gauge of the strategies we are pursuing. Lastly, I am grateful for the support of this leadership team, our employees, our newly constituted board of directors, and importantly, our shareholders."

Q3 2024 Highlights

(Comparisons for Third Quarter 2024 are relative to Second Quarter 2024 unless otherwise noted.)

Net Income:

• Net income for the quarter was $0.9 million, or $0.01 per diluted common share, compared to a net loss of $11.4 million, or $0.47 per diluted common share, for the prior quarter. Income before income taxes of $1.5 million for the quarter included a $6.2 million recovery of credit losses resulting primarily from an $8.4 million recovery upon the completion of the previously mentioned specialty finance loan sale. The prior quarter loss before income taxes of $12.1 million included a $3.1 million provision for credit losses and an $8.5 million, non-cash, negative fair value adjustment of an equity investment the Company holds in a fintech company. Excluding the second quarter fair value adjustment and the provision for (or recovery of) credit losses, the Company's pre-tax income decreased by $4.4 million, with $5.9 million of the decline attributable to fair value adjustments and a loss on the sale of mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs"). Noninterest expenses for the quarter declined $2.8 million.

Asset Quality:

• Nonperforming loans, which include nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more and accruing interest, improved to $32.1 million, or 1.09% of total assets, at quarter end compared to $41.2 million, or 1.40% of total assets, at the prior quarter end. The decline in nonperforming loans primarily reflects the third quarter sale of the previously noted specialty finance loan.
• The recovery of credit losses was $6.2 million for the quarter compared to a provision for credit losses of $3.1 million for the prior quarter. The recovery of credit losses was primarily attributable to an $8.4 million recovery from the sale of the previously mentioned specialty finance loan and lower reserve needs due to loan portfolio balance reductions, partially offset by higher specific reserves for certain purchased loans. The provision for credit losses in the prior quarter was related primarily to reserve needs for certain purchased loans and increased reserves for the non-guaranteed portion of government-guaranteed loans ("GGL"), which offset lower reserve needs due to loan portfolio balance reductions.
• The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") as a percentage of total loans held for investment was 1.17% at quarter end compared to 1.24% at the prior quarter end. The decline was primarily due to charge-offs of certain GGL and purchased loans in the current quarter. Net loan recoveries were $3.4 million in the quarter, which includes the $8.4 million recovery from the sale of the previously noted specialty finance loan. This recovery was the primary driver of the lower net loan (recovery) charge-off to average loans outstanding ratio (year-to-date annualized), which was (0.61)%, compared to 1.81% for the prior quarter.

Capital:

• The ratio of tangible common stockholders' equity to tangible total assets was 10.6%¹, compared to 10.3%¹ at the prior quarter end. Tangible book value per common share ("TBV") was $4.25¹ compared to $4.10¹ at the prior quarter end. The improvement in these ratios was primarily due to a reduction in accumulated other comprehensive losses, driven by $10.0 million in after-tax unrealized gains in the quarter on the Company's portfolio of securities available for sale, resulting from lower market interest rates. TBV at the end of the third and second quarters did not include the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock shares into common shares, which conversion is at the option of the holder. The assumed conversion of these shares would result in a negative impact of $0.31 and $0.29 on TBV as of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively.
• For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Bank's tier 1 leverage ratio, tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, common equity tier 1 capital ratio, and total risk-based capital ratio were 11.56%, 15.68%, 15.68%, and 16.64%, respectively, compared to 11.02%, 14.19%, 14.19%, and 15.18%, respectively, at the prior quarter end. Capital ratios for the Company at September 30, 2024 were tier 1 leverage ratio of 11.46%, tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 15.58%, common equity tier 1 capital ratio of 15.58%, and total risk-based capital ratio of 19.26%.
• As of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the Bank's tier 1 leverage and total risk-based capital ratios exceeded the minimum capital ratios set forth in the Bank's Consent Order with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC"), which requires the Bank to maintain a minimum tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.00% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.00%.

Net Interest Income / Net Interest Margin:

• Net interest income was $19.1 million, a decline of $1.0 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to a decline in average balances of interest-earning assets, primarily loans held for investment, and the reversal of interest income due to loans placed on nonaccrual. This decline was partially offset by lower average balances of and rates paid on fintech-related deposits and lower average balances of wholesale funding. Net interest margin declined in the quarter to 2.74% from 2.79%; six basis points of the decline was due to loans placed on nonaccrual.

Noninterest Income / Noninterest Expense:

• Noninterest income for the quarter was $2.7 million compared to $0.3 million for the prior quarter, which included the $8.5 million previously noted negative fair value adjustment for an equity investment. Excluding the fair value adjustment, lower noninterest income for the quarter was primarily due to a $4.9 million negative variance in fair value adjustment on MSRs, primarily due to changes in future interest rate expectations, and a $1.0 million loss on the sale of a portion of the Company's portfolio of MSRs. The Company expects to sell the majority of its remaining MSRs in the fourth quarter.
• Noninterest expense for the quarter was $26.5 million compared to $29.3 million in the prior quarter, a decrease of $2.8 million. The decrease was primarily due to lower salaries and employee benefits expense, lower regulatory remediation expenses, and lower Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance assessments. Salaries and employee benefits expense in the quarter reflected lower headcount, primarily in the Bank's GGL and compliance areas. Lower regulatory remediation expenses reflect the reduction in the use of third-party resources in the Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering ("BSA/AML") area, as the Bank submitted certain requirements under the Consent Order. Lower FDIC assessments in the quarter were primarily due to a lower assessment rate and a smaller balance sheet.

Income Tax:

• The effective income tax rate for the quarter was 38.8% compared to 5.1% for the prior quarter. Income tax expense and the effective tax rate for the quarter reflected the vesting of restricted stock awards where the fair value of the underlying stock at the time of vesting was lower than that at award date and recognized for expense purposes. The income tax benefit and effective rate for the prior quarter included $2.0 million of provision expense recognized upon surrendering bank owned life insurance policies, representing the tax effect of the life-to-date income earned on the policies. Taxes on such earnings were previously permanently deferred but became subject to tax upon the surrender of the policies.

Balance Sheet:

• Total assets increased to $2.94 billion from $2.93 billion at the prior quarter end, an increase of $11.6 million. This increase was primarily due to higher cash and due from banks balances of $157.1 million at quarter end, primarily due to elevated deposit balances of a fintech lending partner ahead of its normal business cycle of early month fundings. This increase was partially offset by lower balances of loans held for investment and loans held for sale, which collectively declined $111.2 million in the quarter. Other asset balance declines included bank owned life insurance and MSRs, which declined $27.5 million and $10.4 million, respectively. The Company surrendered the majority of its bank owned life insurance policies in the second quarter and received a substantial portion of the proceeds in the third quarter, with the remaining amounts expected in the fourth quarter. Of the balance change in MSRs, $7.4 million was attributable to the sale of a portion of the MSRs portfolio, with the majority of the remaining MSRs expected to be sold in the fourth quarter. These actions, along with and in support of the exit of fintech BaaS depository operations, support the repositioning of the Bank towards a more traditional community bank model.
• Loans held for investment were $2.18 billion at quarter end, a decrease of $78.9 million from the prior quarter end, and $250.5 million from year-end 2023. The Company purposefully and selectively reduced balances of loans, primarily where borrowers did not represent in-market relationships.
• Total deposit balances increased to $2.35 billion from $2.33 billion at the prior quarter end, an increase of $20.7 million. Deposits, excluding fintech-related and wholesale deposits, increased $73.7 million in the quarter and $143.5 million in the year-to-date period. Brokered deposit balances declined $33.9 million in the quarter and $84.7 million in the year-to-date period. Estimated uninsured deposits as a percentage of total deposits were 16.8% at quarter end compared to 17.9% at the prior quarter end and 22.3% at year-end 2023.
• Deposits related to fintech relationships were $187.5 million at September 30, 2024, a decline of $19.2 million in the quarter and $278.4 million in the year-to-date period. Of the decline, fintech BaaS deposits decreased $108.8 million in the quarter, partially offset by an increase in fintech corporate deposits, including those of the previously noted fintech lending partner. For the year-to-date period, fintech BaaS deposits have declined by $307.3 million. Excluding brokered deposits, deposits related to fintech relationships represented 9.8%, 11.1%, and 22.7% of total deposits at September 30, 2024, June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.
• Sources of liquidity as of September 30, 2024, consisting of on-balance sheet cash, available credit under secured borrowing facilities, and unpledged securities available for sale, totaled approximately $805.0 million, or 202.7% of uninsured deposits as of the same date.

Income Statement:

Net interest income was $19.1 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $20.1 million for the second quarter of 2024, and $22.2 million for the third quarter of 2023. The decline from the second quarter of 2024 was primarily attributable to lower interest and fee income on loans due to lower average balances and the reversal of interest income due to loans placed on nonaccrual. This decline was partially offset by lower average balances and rates paid on interest-bearing demand accounts and lower average balances of wholesale funding. The majority of fintech BaaS deposits are in interest-bearing demand accounts.

Average balances of interest-earning assets decreased $90.1 million to $2.80 billion in the third quarter of 2024, relative to the prior quarter, and decreased $242.7 million from the year-ago quarter period. Relative to the prior quarter and the year-ago period, the decrease reflected primarily lower average balances of loans held for investment. The yield on average loans held for investment was 5.80% for the third and second quarters of 2024, compared to 5.88% for the third quarter of 2023. Nonaccrual interest had a negative impact of seven basis points on loan yield in the quarter.

Average balances of interest-bearing liabilities decreased $106.7 million to $2.12 billion in the third quarter of 2024, relative to the prior quarter, and decreased $233.0 million from the year-ago quarter period.

Cost of funds was 3.09% for the third quarter of 2024, compared to 3.02% for the second quarter of 2024, and 2.73% for the third quarter of 2023, while cost of deposits was 2.91%, 2.84%, and 2.46%, for the same respective periods. Higher deposit and overall funding costs in the 2024 periods reflect the impact of higher market interest rates and a shift in the mix of funding. Cost of deposits, excluding wholesale deposits, was 1.71% for the quarter compared to 2.28% for the prior quarter, and 2.50% for the year-ago period. The sequential quarter decline was primarily due to lower average balances of higher rate fintech-related deposits.

Net interest margin was 2.74% for the third quarter of 2024 compared to 2.79% in the prior quarter and 2.92% in the year-ago period. The decrease in net interest margin relative to the prior periods primarily reflects the impact of a slight increase in funding costs.

The Company recorded a recovery of credit losses of $6.2 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to a provision for credit losses of $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2024, and a provision for credit losses of $11.1 million for the third quarter of 2023. The recovery of credit losses for the third quarter of 2024 was primarily attributable to an $8.4 million recovery from the sale of the previously noted specialty finance loan and lower reserve needs due to loan portfolio balance reductions, partially offset by higher specific reserves for certain purchased loans. The provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2024 was primarily related to specific reserves on certain purchased loans and increased reserves for the non-guaranteed portion of the GGL portfolio, while the provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2023 was primarily attributable to specific reserves for the previously reported group of specialty finance loans.

Noninterest income was $2.7 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2024, and $7.4 million for the third quarter of 2023. The increase in the third quarter relative to the second quarter was primarily due to the previously noted second quarter $8.5 million, non-cash, negative fair value adjustment of an equity investment. Excluding the fair value adjustment, lower noninterest income in the third quarter of 2024 was primarily due to negative fair value adjustments on MSRs, primarily due to change in future interest rate expectations, and a loss on the sale of a portion of the Company's portfolio of MSRs. The decline in noninterest income for the third quarter of 2024 relative to the year-ago period was primarily attributable to fair value adjustments on MSRs.

Noninterest expense was $26.5 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $29.3 million for the second quarter of 2024, and $64.6 million for the third quarter of 2023. Noninterest expense decreased $2.8 million from the prior quarter and decreased $38.1 million from the year-ago period. The decrease relative to the second quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by lower salaries and employee benefits, lower regulatory remediation expenses, and lower FDIC insurance assessments. The decrease relative to the year-ago was primarily due to the 2023 non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $26.8 million, which was the entirety of the goodwill balance, and the $6.0 million settlement reserve for the previously disclosed, now settled, VCB ESOP litigation. Excluding these amounts and regulatory remediation expenses, noninterest expense declined $1.9 million relative to the year-ago period.

Balance Sheet:

Loans held for investment were $2.18 billion at September 30, 2024, compared to $2.26 billion at June 30, 2024, and $2.45 billion at September 30, 2023. These declines are attributable to the Company's plan to purposefully and selectively reduce assets to partially meet the liquidity needs of the fintech BaaS depository operations wind down.

Total deposits were $2.35 billion at September 30, 2024, an increase of $20.7 million for the quarter, and a decrease of $219.6 million for the year-to-date period. Fintech-related deposits declined $19.2 million in the third quarter of 2024, while fintech BaaS deposits decreased $108.8 million in the quarter. Year-to-date fintech BaaS deposits decreased $307.3 million. Excluding fintech-related and brokered deposits, total deposits increased $73.7 million from the prior quarter end and $143.5 million from year-end 2023.

The Company previously reported that it was prohibited from the acceptance, renewal, or rollover of brokered deposits, as a result of the Consent Order. In the third quarter, the Bank received approval from the FDIC allowing the Bank to accept, renew, or rollover brokered deposits for a six-month period of time and in the amount of maturities during this period. The Bank expects to file another application for waiver of this prohibition in the fourth quarter.  Brokered deposits at September 30, 2024 were $430.5 million, a decline of $33.9 million from June 30, 2024 and $84.7 million from December 31, 2023. The Company has used brokered deposits in anticipation of the liquidity requirements of the fintech BaaS winddown.

Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 19.6%, 20.2%, and 20.6% of total deposits at September 30, 2024, June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, respectively. Fintech-related balances represented 8.0%, 8.9%, and 28.8% of total deposits as of the same respective dates.

The held for investment loan to deposit ratio was 92.9% at September 30, 2024, compared to 97.1% at the prior quarter end, and 88.1% at the year-ago period-end.
