VANCOUVER, Wash., July 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Riverview Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq GSM: RVSB) ("Riverview" or the "Company") today reported earnings of $2.8 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the first fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $3.0 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the fourth fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023, and $4.7 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the first fiscal quarter a year ago.

"We delivered solid first fiscal quarter earnings, despite the economic challenges facing the banking industry," stated Kevin Lycklama, president and chief executive officer. "The continued rise in interest rates, combined with a slowing economic outlook and inflationary pressures, has had an impact on bank profitability nationally, including our operations. We remain committed to building a strong franchise, and our ability to hire talent, generate loans, and digitize our products and services will only further enhance the value of our company over time. Our capital levels remain strong and we are well-positioned to come out stronger and more profitable on the other side of the current economic cycle."

Income Statement Review

Riverview's net interest income was $10.4 million in the current quarter, compared to $11.8 million in the preceding quarter, and $12.7 million in the first fiscal quarter a year ago. The decrease in net interest income compared to the prior quarter was driven primarily by an increase in interest expense on deposits and borrowings due to rising interest rates.

Riverview's NIM was 2.79% for the first quarter of fiscal 2024, a 37 basis-point contraction compared to 3.16% in the preceding quarter and a 32 basis-point decrease compared to 3.11% in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. "The NIM contraction during the current quarter, compared to the prior quarter, was a result of higher interest expense due to increased rates on our deposit products and the interest expense related to our borrowings," said David Lam, executive vice president and chief financial officer.

Investment securities totaled $444.2 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $455.3 million at March 31, 2023. The average securities balances for the quarters ended June 30, 2023, March 31, 2023, and June 30, 2022, were $476.1 million, $483.3 million, and $441.6 million, respectively. The weighted average yields on securities balances for those same periods were 2.05%, 2.07%, and 1.74%, respectively. The duration of the investment portfolio at June 30, 2023 was approximately 5.1 years. The anticipated investment cashflows over the next twelve months is approximately $40.6 million.

Riverview's yield on loans was stable at 4.50% during the first fiscal quarter and in the preceding quarter, and improved from 4.39% in the first fiscal quarter a year ago. Loan yields remain under pressure due to the concentration of fixed-rate loans in the Company's portfolio. Deposit costs increased to 0.44% during the first fiscal quarter compared to 0.19% in the preceding quarter, and 0.07% in the first fiscal quarter a year ago.

Non-interest income increased to $3.3 million during the first fiscal quarter compared to $3.0 million in the preceding quarter and $3.1 million in the first fiscal quarter of 2023. Overall, fees and service charges increased as a result of an increase in debit interchange and brokered loan fee income compared to last quarter.

Asset management fees increased to $1.4 million during the first fiscal quarter compared to $1.3 million in the preceding quarter, and $1.2 million in the first fiscal quarter a year ago. Riverview Trust Company's assets under management were $901.6 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $890.6 million at March 31, 2023 and $1.2 billion at June 30, 2022.

Non-interest expense was $10.0 million during the first quarter, which was unchanged compared to the preceding quarter. Non-interest expense was $9.8 million in the first fiscal quarter a year ago. Salary and employee benefits were lower during the quarter as a result of some current open positions due to the competitive landscape for attracting and retaining employees. Data processing expenses increased during the quarter due to some billing credits recognized in the prior quarter which reduced our expenses. Advertising and marketing expenses increased during the quarter as a result of an ongoing focus on the new core customer acquisition and marketing efforts for our 100^th anniversary. The efficiency ratio was 73.1% for the first fiscal quarter compared to 67.3% in the preceding quarter and 61.9% in the first fiscal quarter a year ago.

Return on average assets was 0.72% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to 0.76% in the preceding quarter. Return on average equity and return on average tangible equity (non-GAAP) were 7.31% and 8.86%, respectively, compared to 7.80% and 9.48%, respectively, for the prior quarter.

Riverview's effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was 22.4%, compared to 27.0% for the preceding quarter and 22.7% for the year ago quarter.

Balance Sheet Review

Total loans were stable at $1.00 billion at June 30, 2023, compared to $1.01 billion three months earlier and a year earlier. The decrease compared to the prior quarter was mainly due to normal amortization and loan payoffs. Riverview's loan pipeline grew to $75.8 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $54.5 million at the end of the prior quarter. New loan originations during the quarter totaled $20.3 million compared to $20.8 million in the preceding quarter and $90.7 million in the first quarter a year ago.

Undisbursed construction loans totaled $45.3 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $36.8 million at March 31, 2023, with the majority of the undisbursed construction loans expected to fund over the next several quarters. Undisbursed homeowner association loans for the purpose of common area maintenance and repairs totaled $21.7 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $23.2 million at March 31, 2023. Revolving commercial business loan commitments totaled $62.5 million at June 30, 2023, which was nearly unchanged compared to three months earlier. Utilization on these loans totaled 27.0% at June 30, 2023, compared to 20.3% at March 31, 2023. The weighted average rate on loan originations during the quarter was 6.53% compared to 6.80% in the preceding quarter.

The office building loan portfolio totaled $116.2 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $117.0 million a year ago. The average loan balance of this loan portfolio was $1.5 million and had an average loan-to-value ratio of 56.2% and an average debt service coverage ratio of 2.0.

Total deposits were $1.24 billion at June 30, 2023, compared to $1.27 billion at March 31, 2023, and $1.50 billion a year ago. The decrease was attributed to deposit pricing pressures and customers seeking out higher yielding investment alternatives, including Riverview Trust Company's money market accounts. Non-interest checking and interest checking accounts, as a percentage of total deposits, totaled 50.1% at June 30, 2023, compared to 52.1% at March 31, 2023 and 52.0% at June 30, 2022.

FHLB advances were $136.1 million at June 30, 2023 and were comprised of overnight advances and a short-term borrowing. This compared to $123.8 million at March 31, 2023 and no outstanding FHLB advances a year earlier. These FHLB advances were utilized to partially offset the decrease in deposit balances. The BTFP was created by the Federal Reserve to support and make additional funding available to eligible depository institutions to help banks meet the needs of their depositors. Riverview has registered and is eligible to utilize the BTFP. Riverview does not intend to utilize the BTFP, but could do so should the need arise.

Shareholders' equity was $154.1 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $155.2 million three months earlier and $154.4 million a year earlier. The decrease in shareholders' equity at June 30, 2023, compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to a $2.2 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to an increase in the unrealized loss on available for sale securities, reflecting the increase in interest rates during the current quarter. Tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) was $6.00 at June 30, 2023, compared to $6.02 at March 31, 2023, and $5.78 at June 30, 2022. Riverview paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share on July 24, 2023, to shareholders of record on July 11, 2023.

Credit Quality

In accordance with changes in generally accepted accounting principles, Riverview adopted the new credit loss accounting standard known as Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") on April 1, 2023. With the adoption, the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") for loans increased by $42,000. Under CECL, the ACL is based on expected credit losses rather than on incurred losses. Adoption of CECL, which includes the ACL and allowance for unfunded loan commitments, resulted in a cumulative effect after-tax adjustment to stockholders' equity as of April 1, 2023, of $53,000, which had no impact on earnings.

Asset quality remained strong, with non-performing loans, excluding SBA and USDA government guaranteed loans ("government guaranteed loans") (non-GAAP), at $210,000, or 0.02% of total loans as of June 30, 2023, compared to $265,000, or 0.03% of total loans at March 31, 2023, and $262,000, or 0.03% of total loans at June 30, 2022. Including government guaranteed loans, non-performing assets were $1.0 million, or 0.06% of total assets, at June 30, 2023, compared to $1.9 million, or 0.12% of total assets, three months earlier and $27.5 million, or 1.62% of total assets, at June 30, 2022. The $1.0 million includes non-performing government guaranteed loans where payments have been delayed due to the servicing transfer of these loans between two third-party servicers. Once the servicing transfer is complete, Riverview expects to receive the delayed payments and expects non-performing assets to decrease even further. The Company continues to work through the reconciliation of the remaining government guaranteed loans with the third-party servicer.

Riverview recorded net loan charge offs of $8,000 during the first fiscal quarter. This compared to net loan recoveries of $1,000 for the preceding quarter. Riverview recorded no provision for credit losses for the first fiscal quarter. In the prior quarter, Riverview recorded a $750,000 provision for credit losses as a result of a downgrade in a mixed use office building located in downtown Portland. This loan remains well secured with a loan-to-value of approximately 36%. The Company does not expect to recognize any loss on this loan.

Classified assets were $1.1 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $2.6 million at March 31, 2023, and $6.4 million at June 30, 2022. The classified asset to total capital ratio was 0.6% at June 30, 2023, compared to 1.5% three months earlier and 3.7% a year earlier. Criticized assets were $24.5 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $19.1 million at March 31, 2023 and $1.3 million at June 30, 2022. The increase in criticized assets during the current quarter was due to a relationship downgrade during the quarter but the Company does not believe this is a systemic credit issue.

The allowance for credit losses was $15.3 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $15.3 million at March 31, 2023, and $14.6 million one year earlier. The allowance for credit losses represented 1.53% of total loans at June 30, 2023, compared to 1.52% at March 31, 2023, and 1.44% a year earlier. The allowance for credit losses to loans, net of SBA guaranteed loans (including SBA purchased and PPP loans) (non-GAAP), was 1.62% at June 30, 2023, and at March 31, 2023, and 1.53% a year earlier.

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 16.82% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.54% at June 30, 2023. Tangible common equity to average tangible assets ratio (non-GAAP) was 8.14% at June 30, 2023.

Stock Repurchase Program

In November 2022, Riverview announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2.5 million of the Company's outstanding shares in the open market, based on prevailing market prices, or in privately negotiated transactions, over a period beginning on November 28, 2022, and continuing until the earlier of the completion of the repurchase or May 28, 2023, depending upon market conditions. During the first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company repurchased 109,162 shares at an average price of $5.29 per share. As of May 5, 2023, Riverview had completed the full $2.5 million authorized, repurchasing 394,334 shares at an average price of $6.34 per share.

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. Management has presented these non-GAAP financial measures in this earnings release because it believes that they provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in Riverview's core operations reflected in the current quarter's results and facilitate the comparison of our performance with the performance of our peers. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for any analysis based on GAAP. Where applicable, comparable earnings information using GAAP financial measures is also presented. Because not all companies use the same calculations, our presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as calculated by other companies. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures, see the tables below.
