The Bancorp, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Results

 

Wilmington, DE – January 27, 2022 – The Bancorp, Inc. ("The Bancorp") (NASDAQ: TBBK), a financial holding company, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter of 2021.

 

Highlights

 

·For the quarter ended December 31, 2021, The Bancorp earned net income of $27.0 million, or $0.46 diluted earnings per share.

 

·Return on assets and equity for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 amounted to 1.7% and 17%, respectively, compared to 1.6% and 17%, respectively, for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 (all percentages “annualized.”)

 

·Net interest margin amounted to 3.51% for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, compared to 3.58% for the quarter ended December 31, 2020.

 

·Net interest income was $52.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 compared to $51.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. In the fourth quarter of 2021, growth in net interest income was significantly offset by a reduction of $3.8 million resulting from non-SBA commercial loan prepayments. However, net realized and unrealized gains on commercial loans increased over $4 million over those respective periods, primarily as a result of fees related to those prepayments. We have resumed the origination of such loans, identified as real estate bridge loans, which are intended to offset the impact of prepayments and payoffs, and grow the portfolio.

 

·Excluding loans at fair value, which were originally generated for sale, total loans increased 41% to $3.75 billion at December 31, 2021, compared to $2.65 billion at December 31, 2020.

 

·Gross dollar volume (“GDV”), representing the total amounts spent on prepaid and debit cards, increased $2.44 billion, or 11%, to $24.96 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2020.

 

·SBLOC (securities backed lines of credit), IBLOC (insurance backed lines of credit) and investment advisor financing loans collectively increased 28% year over year and 7% quarter over quarter to $2.05 billion at December 31, 2021.

 

·Small Business Loans, including those held at fair value, grew 6% year over year to $696.2 million at December 31, 2021. That growth is exclusive of Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan balances of $44.8 million and $165.7 million, respectively, at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

 

·Direct lease financing balances increased 15% year over year to $531.0 million at December 31, 2021.

 

·We resumed non-SBA commercial real estate lending in the third quarter of 2021 classified as real estate bridge lending. As of December 31, 2021 total real estate bridge loans amounted to $621.7 million, collateralized by apartment buildings.

 

·The average interest rate on $5.47 billion of average deposits and interest-bearing liabilities during the fourth quarter of 2021 was 0.19%. Average deposits of $5.31 billion for the fourth quarter 2021, reflected an increase of 1% from the $5.25 billion of average deposits for the quarter ended December 31, 2020.

 

·As of December 31, 2021, substantially all the borrowers with COVID-19 related payment deferrals had resumed making payments.

·As of December 31, 2021, tier one capital to assets (leverage), tier one capital to risk-weighted assets, total capital to risk-weighted assets and common equity-tier 1 to risk-weighted assets ratios were 10.40%, 14.72%, 15.13% and 14.72%, respectively, compared to well-capitalized minimums of 5%, 8%, 10% and 6.5%, respectively. The Bancorp and The Bank each remain well capitalized under banking regulations.

 

·Book value per common share at December 31, 2021 was $11.37 per share compared to $10.10 per share at December 31, 2020, an increase of 13%, primarily as a result of retained earnings.

 

·The Bancorp repurchased 350,431 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $28.54 per share during the quarter ended December 31, 2021.

 

Our lending platform and fin-tech ecosystem will support continued growth into 2022,” said The Bancorp CEO and President Damian Kozlowski. “We continue to improve our performance, while delivering enhanced capabilities to our many innovative partners which are revolutionizing the financial services industry. Additionally, we reaffirm our 2022 guidance of $2.15 per share, which excludes the net impact of planned stock repurchases.”

 

The Bancorp reported net income of $27.0 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, compared to net income of $24.2 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2020.

The large deductions and tax benefits resulted from the increase in the Company’s stock price as compared to the original grant date.

Note: Previous balance sheets included investment in unconsolidated entity, which reflected Bancorp’s balance of the Walnut Street investment. Walnut Street was comprised of Bancorp loans sold to that entity, which was partially financed by an independent investor. In the third quarter of 2021, The Bancorp and that investor dissolved the entity, as the remaining balance did not warrant ongoing administrative and accounting expenses. As a result of the dissolution, the investment in unconsolidated entity, which had a June 30, 2021 balance of $25.0 million, was reclassified as follows. Approximately $22.9 million of loans were reclassified to commercial loans, at fair value and $2.1 million was reclassified to other real estate owned, as those assets continue to be reported at fair value.

NOTE: In the table above, the 2021 interest on loans reflects $4.6 million of interest and fees which were earned on a short-term line of credit to another institution to initially fund PPP loans, which did not significantly increase average loans or assets and which are not expected to recur. Interest on loans in each of 2021 and 2020 also includes $5.8 million of interest and fees on PPP loans. Increases in interest earning deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank reflect increased deposits resulting from stimulus payments distributed to a large segment of the population, resulting from December 2020 federal legislation.

* The preceding table shows small business loans and small business loans held at fair value. The small business loans held at fair value are comprised of the government guaranteed portion of certain SBA loans at the dates indicated (in thousands). A reduction in SBL non-real estate from $171.8 million to $147.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 resulted from U.S. government repayments of $26.5 million of PPP loans authorized by The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021. PPP loans totaled $44.8 million at December 31, 2021 and $165.7 million at December 31, 2020, respectively.

** Securities Backed Lines of Credit, or SBLOC, are collateralized by marketable securities, while Insurance Backed Lines of Credit, or IBLOC, are collateralized by the cash surrender value of eligible life insurance policies.

*** In 2020, we began originating loans to investment advisors for purposes of debt refinance, acquisition of another firm or internal succession. Maximum loan amounts are subject to loan-to-value ratios of 70%, based on third-party business appraisals, but may be increased depending upon the debt service coverage ratio. Personal guarantees and blanket business liens are obtained as appropriate.

**** Included in the table above under Other loans are demand deposit overdrafts reclassified as loan balances totaling $322,000 and $663,000 at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Estimated overdraft charge-offs and recoveries are reflected in the allowance for credit losses and have been immaterial.

 

 

Small business loans as of December 31, 2021

   Loan principal
   (in millions)
U.S. government guaranteed portion of SBA loans (a)  $371
Paycheck Protection Program loans (PPP) (a)   45
Commercial mortgage SBA (b)   183

Non-SBA small business loans (e)   17
Total principal  $733
Unamortized fees and costs   8
Total small business loans  $741

 

(a) This is the portion of SBA 7a loans (7a) and PPP loans which have been guaranteed by the U.S. government, and therefore are assumed to have no credit risk.

(b) Substantially all these loans are made under the SBA 504 Fixed Asset Financing program (504) which dictates origination date loan-to-value percentages (“LTV”), generally 50-60%, to which the Bank adheres.

(c) Of the $17 million in Construction SBA loans, $13 million are 504 first mortgages with an origination date LTV of 50-60% and $4 million are SBA interim loans with an approved SBA post-construction full takeout/payoff.

(d) The $100 million represents the unguaranteed portion of 7a loans which are 70% or more guaranteed by the U.S. government. 7a loans are not made on the basis of real estate LTV; however, they are subject to SBA's "All Available Collateral" rule which mandates that to the extent a borrower or its 20% or greater principals have available collateral (including personal residences), the collateral must be pledged to fully collateralize the loan, after applying SBA-determined liquidation rates. In addition, all 7a and 504 loans require the personal guaranty of all 20% or greater owners.

(e) The $17 million of non-SBA loans is comprised of approximately 20 conventional coffee/doughnut/carryout franchisee note purchases. The majority of purchased notes were made to multi-unit operators, are considered seasoned and have performed as agreed.

Institutional banking loans outstanding at December 31, 2021

 

Type  Principal  % of total
    (in millions)     
Securities backed lines of credit (SBLOC)  $1,141    56%
Insurance backed lines of credit (IBLOC)   788    39%
Advisor financing   116    5%
Total  $2,045    100%

 

For SBLOC, we generally lend up to 50% of the value of equities and 80% for investment grade securities. While equities have fallen in excess of 30% in recent years, the reduction in collateral value of brokerage accounts collateralizing SBLOCs generally has been less, for two reasons. First, many collateral accounts are “balanced” and accordingly have a component of debt securities, which have either not decreased in value as much as equities, or in some cases may have increased in value. Secondly, many of these accounts have the benefit of professional investment advisors who provided some protection against market downturns, through diversification and other means. Additionally, borrowers often utilize only a portion of collateral value, which lowers the percentage of principal to collateral.

Insurance backed lines of credit (IBLOC)

 

IBLOC loans are backed by the cash value of eligible life insurance policies which have been assigned to us.  We lend up to 100% of such cash value. Our underwriting standards require approval of the insurance companies which carry the policies backing these loans. Currently, eight insurance companies have been approved and, as of August 14, 2021, all were rated Excellent (A or better) by AM BEST.

Dissolution of Walnut Street

 

Previous press releases included tables related to the Walnut Street investment, shown as investment in unconsolidated entity on the balance sheet. Walnut Street was comprised of Bancorp loans sold to that entity, which was partially financed by an independent investor. In the third quarter of 2021, The Bancorp and that investor dissolved the entity, as the remaining balance did not warrant ongoing administrative and accounting expenses. As a result of the dissolution, the investment in unconsolidated entity, which had a June 30, 2021 balance of $25.0 million, was reclassified as follows. Approximately $22.9 million of loans were reclassified to commercial loans, at fair value and $2.1 million was reclassified to other real estate owned, as those assets continue to be reported at fair value.
