Bridgewater Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ:BWB) (the Company), the parent company of Bridgewater Bank (the Bank), today announced net income of $9.8 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $11.6 million for the first quarter of 2023, and $12.9 million for the second quarter of 2022. Earnings per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2023 were $0.31, compared to $0.37 per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2023, and $0.41 per diluted common share for the same period in 2022.

"Bridgewater's second quarter results were highlighted by several improving financial trends as we continue to manage the business through a challenging banking environment," said Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President, Jerry Baack. "The overall composition of our balance sheet improved with a strong inflow of deposits, including growth in core deposits, and a reduction in overall borrowings. While our net interest margin remained under pressure, we saw the pace of compression slow noticeably on a month-to-month basis during the quarter. In addition, noninterest expense was again well controlled and asset quality remained superb."

"During the quarter, our teams maintained their focus on supporting and growing our client base, both by proactively engaging with our existing clients and cultivating new relationships across the Twin Cities market. In July, we also relocated our downtown Minneapolis branch to an enhanced location with more space to better serve our clients. We believe our proven ability to develop strong client relationships, combined with encouraging financial trends, will continue to drive success moving forward."

Income Statement

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $25.9 million for the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of $2.7 million, from $28.6 million in the first quarter of 2023, and a decrease of $6.7 million, from $32.5 million in the second quarter of 2022. The linked-quarter decrease in net interest income was primarily due to higher rates paid on deposits in the rising interest rate environment. The year-over-year decrease in net interest income was primarily due to higher rates paid on deposits and increased borrowings in the rising interest rate environment. Average interest earning assets were $4.40 billion for the second quarter of 2023, an increase of $71.3 million, or 1.7%, from $4.32 billion for the first quarter of 2023, and an increase of $723.3 million, or 19.7%, from $3.67 billion for the second quarter of 2022. The linked-quarter increase in average interest earning assets was primarily due to continued growth in the loan portfolio. The year-over-year increase in average interest earning assets was primarily due to strong growth in the loan portfolio and purchases of investment securities.

Net interest margin (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) for the second quarter of 2023 was 2.40%, a 32 basis point decrease from 2.72% in the first quarter of 2023, and a 118 basis point decrease from 3.58% in the second quarter of 2022. Core net interest margin (on a fully tax-equivalent basis), a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes the impact of loan fees and PPP balances, interest, and fees, for the second quarter of 2023 was 2.31%, a 31 basis point decrease from 2.62% in the first quarter of 2023, and a 103 basis point decrease from 3.34% in the second quarter of 2022. The linked-quarter decline in the margin was primarily due to higher funding costs, offset partially by higher earning asset yields. The year-over-year decline in the margin was primarily due to higher funding costs and increased borrowings in the rising interest rate environment, offset partially by higher earning asset yields.

Interest income was $55.0 million for the second quarter of 2023, an increase of $3.0 million, from $52.0 million in the first quarter of 2023, and an increase of $17.2 million, from $37.8 million in the second quarter of 2022. The yield on interest earning assets (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) was 5.06% in the second quarter of 2023, compared to 4.91% in the first quarter of 2023, and 4.16% in the second quarter of 2022. The linked-quarter increase in the yield on interest earning assets was primarily due to the increase in market interest rates resulting in new loan originations and loans repricing at yields accretive to the existing portfolio. The year-over-year increase in the yield on interest earning assets was primarily due to growth and repricing of the loan and securities portfolios in the rising interest rate environment.

Loan interest income and loan fees remain the primary contributing factors to the changes in the yield on interest earning assets. The aggregate loan yield, excluding PPP loans, increased to 5.19% in the second quarter of 2023, which was 13 basis points higher than 5.06% in the first quarter of 2023, and 76 basis points higher than 4.43% in the second quarter of 2022. While loan fees have historically maintained a relatively stable contribution to the aggregate loan yield, the recent periods saw fewer loan prepayments, which historically has accelerated the recognition of loan fees. Despite the decrease in fee recognition, the Company is encouraged that the core loan yield continues to rise as new loan originations and the existing portfolio reprice in the higher rate environment.

A summary of interest and fees recognized on loans, excluding PPP loans, for the periods indicated is as follows:


	Three Months Ended
	June 30, 2023		March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022		September 30, 2022		June 30, 2022

Yield on Loans, Excluding PPP Loans	5.19	%	5.06	%	4.86	%	4.59	%	4.43	%

Interest expense was $29.1 million for the second quarter of 2023, an increase of $5.7 million, from $23.4 million in the first quarter of 2023, and an increase of $23.9 million, from $5.3 million in the second quarter of 2022. The cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 56 basis points on a linked-quarter basis from 3.03% in the first quarter of 2023 to 3.59% in the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to higher rates paid on deposits and increased utilization of FHLB advances in the rising interest rate environment. On a year-over-year basis, the cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 273 basis points from 0.86% in the second quarter of 2022 to 3.59% in the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to the rapid increase in market interest rates that occurred between the periods, which impacted all funding sources.

Interest expense on deposits was $23.0 million for the second quarter of 2023, an increase of $6.6 million, from $16.4 million in the first quarter of 2023, and an increase of $19.5 million, from $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2022. The cost of total deposits increased 65 basis points on a linked-quarter basis from 2.01% in the first quarter of 2023, to 2.66% in the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to the rising interest rate environment and increased competition from other market alternatives. On a year-over-year basis, the cost of total deposits increased 220 basis points from 0.46% in the second quarter of 2022, to 2.66% in the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to upward repricing of the deposit portfolio in the higher interest rate environment.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses on loans was $550,000 for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2023 and $3.0 million for the second quarter of 2022. The provision recorded in the second quarter of 2023 was primarily attributable to the growth of the loan portfolio. The allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans was 1.36% at June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, compared to 1.39% at June 30, 2022.

The following table presents the activity in the Company's allowance for credit losses on loans for the periods indicated:

The provision for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures was a negative provision of $500,000 for the second quarter of 2023, compared to a negative $875,000 for the first quarter of 2023 and zero for the second quarter of 2022. The negative provision during the quarter was due to a reduction in outstanding unfunded commitments primarily attributable to the migration to funded loans.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of $528,000 from $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2023, and a decrease of $235,000 from $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2022. The linked-quarter decrease was primarily due to a decrease in letter of credit fees and FHLB prepayment income. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to decreased letter of credit fees and other income, offset partially by an increase in customer service fees and bank-owned life insurance income.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $14.4 million for the second quarter of 2023, an increase of $205,000 from $14.2 million for the first quarter of 2023, and an increase of $636,000 from $13.8 million for the second quarter of 2022. The linked-quarter increase was primarily due to industry-wide increases in the FDIC insurance assessment, offset partially by a decrease in salaries and employee benefits resulting from lower discretionary incentive accruals and a decrease in occupancy and equipment. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to increases in the FDIC insurance assessment and derivative collateral fees, offset partially by decreases in salaries and employee benefits and marketing and advertising.

The Company had 253 full-time equivalent employees at June 30, 2023, compared to 246 employees at March 31, 2023, and 236 employees at June 30, 2022. The efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 52.7% for the second quarter of 2023, compared to 46.2% for the first quarter of 2023, and 40.2% for the second quarter of 2022.

Income Taxes

The effective combined federal and state income tax rate for the second quarter of 2023 was 23.6%, a decrease from 25.9% for the first quarter of 2023, and 26.0% for the second quarter of 2022.

Balance Sheet

Total assets at June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 were $4.60 billion, an 18.5% increase from $3.88 billion at June 30, 2022. The year-over-year increase in total assets was primarily due to strong loan growth, purchases of investment securities, and an increase in cash and cash equivalent balances.

Total gross loans at June 30, 2023 were $3.74 billion, an increase of $51.9 million, or 5.6% annualized, over total gross loans of $3.68 billion at March 31, 2023, and an increase of $510.3 million, or 15.8%, over total gross loans of $3.23 billion at June 30, 2022. The increase in the loan portfolio during the second quarter of 2023 was primarily due to the funding of existing construction and land development loans and growth in the 1-4 family mortgage segment, offset partially by a decrease in the 1-4 family construction segment.

Total deposits at June 30, 2023 were $3.58 billion, an increase of $166.8 million, or 19.6% annualized, over total deposits of $3.41 billion at March 31, 2023, and an increase of $376.0 million, or 11.7%, over total deposits of $3.20 billion at June 30, 2022.

Brokered deposits continue to be used as a supplemental funding source, as needed, to support continued loan portfolio growth. Uninsured deposits as of June 30, 2023 were 22% of total deposits, down from 24% as of March 31, 2023.

Capital

Total shareholders' equity at June 30, 2023 was $409.1 million, an increase of $7.1 million, or 1.8%, compared to total shareholders' equity of $402.0 million at March 31, 2023, and an increase of $34.2 million, or 9.1%, over total shareholders' equity of $374.9 million at June 30, 2022. The linked-quarter increase was due to net income retained and unrealized gains in the derivatives portfolio, offset partially by an increase in unrealized losses in the securities portfolio and preferred stock dividends. The year-over-year increase was due to net income retained and unrealized gains in the derivatives portfolio, offset partially by an increase in unrealized losses in the securities portfolio, stock repurchases, the adoption of the Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) accounting methodology and preferred stock dividends. The Company did not purchase any shares of its common stock during the second quarter of 2023.

Tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $12.15 as of June 30, 2023, an increase of 1.7% from $11.95 as of March 31, 2023, and an increase of 10.1% from $11.03 as of June 30, 2022. The linked-quarter and year-over-year increases occurred despite the market value depreciation of the securities portfolio driven by the rising interest rate environment. Tangible common equity as a percentage of tangible assets, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 7.39% at June 30, 2023, compared to 7.23% at March 31, 2023, and 7.87% at June 30, 2022.

Today, the Company also announced that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend on its 5.875% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (Series A Preferred Stock). The quarterly cash dividend of $36.72 per share, equivalent to $0.3672 per depositary share, each representing a 1/100th interest in a share of the Series A Preferred Stock (NASDAQ:BWBBP), is payable on September 1, 2023 to shareholders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock at the close of business on August 15, 2023.

Asset Quality

Annualized net charge-offs (recoveries) as a percentage of average loans were 0.00% for the second quarter of 2023, first quarter of 2023 and second quarter of 2022. At June 30, 2023, the Company's nonperforming assets, which include nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days and still accruing, and foreclosed assets, were $778,000, or 0.02% of total assets, as compared to $809,000, or 0.02% of total assets at March 31, 2023, and $688,000, or 0.02% of total assets at June 30, 2022.

Loans that have potential weaknesses that warrant a watchlist risk rating at June 30, 2023 totaled $27.2 million, compared to $27.6 million at March 31, 2023, and $34.7 million at June 30, 2022. Loans that warranted a substandard risk rating at June 30, 2023 totaled $33.8 million, compared to $36.3 million at March 31, 2023, and $27.0 million at June 30, 2022. The linked-quarter decrease was primarily due to the upgrade of one loan relationship; however, increased uncertainty in the economic environment may result in future watchlist or adverse classifications in the loan portfolio.

Use of Non-GAAP financial measures

In addition to the results presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the Company routinely supplements its evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to the related GAAP measures, provide meaningful information to investors to help them understand the Company's operating performance and trends, and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of peers. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Reconciliations of non-GAAP disclosures used in this earnings release to the comparable GAAP measures are provided in the accompanying tables.

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: interest rate risk, including the effects of recent and anticipated rate increases by the Federal Reserve; fluctuations in the values of the securities held in our securities portfolio, including as the result of rising interest rates, which has resulted in unrealized losses in our portfolio; business and economic conditions generally and in the financial services industry, nationally and within our market area, including rising rates of inflation and possible recession; the effects of recent developments and events in the financial services industry, including the large-scale deposit withdrawals over a short period of time at Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank that resulted in the failure of those institutions; loan concentrations in our portfolio; the overall health of the local and national real estate market; our ability to successfully manage credit risk; our ability to maintain an adequate level of allowance for loan losses; new or revised accounting standards, including as a result of the implementation of the Current Expected Credit Loss standard; the concentration of large loans to certain borrowers; the concentration of large deposits from certain clients, who have balances above current FDIC insurance limits and may withdraw deposits to diversify their exposure; our ability to successfully manage liquidity risk, which may increase our dependence on non-core funding sources such as brokered deposits, and negatively impact our cost of funds; our ability to raise additional capital to implement our business plan; our ability to implement our growth strategy and manage costs effectively; developments and uncertainty related to the future use and availability of some reference rates, such as the expected discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate, as well as other alternative reference rates; the composition of our senior leadership team and our ability to attract and retain key personnel; talent and labor shortages and high rates of employee turnover; the occurrence of fraudulent activity, breaches or failures of our information security controls or cybersecurity-related incidents; interruptions involving our information technology and telecommunications systems or third-party servicers; competition in the financial services industry, including from nonbank competitors such as credit unions and "fintech" companies; the effectiveness of our risk management framework; the commencement and outcome of litigation and other legal proceedings and regulatory actions against us; the impact of recent and future legislative and regulatory changes, including in response to the recent failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank; risks related to climate change and the negative impact it may have on our customers and their businesses; the imposition of tariffs or other governmental policies impacting the value of products produced by our commercial borrowers; severe weather, natural disasters, wide spread disease or pandemics (including the COVID-19 pandemic), acts of war or terrorism or other adverse external events including the Russian invasion of Ukraine; potential impairment to the goodwill the Company recorded in connection with our past acquisition; changes to U.S. or state tax laws, regulations and guidance, including the new 1% excise tax on stock buybacks by publicly traded companies; and any other risks described in the "Risk Factors" sections of reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
