Rhea-AI Summary

Bank of Marin Bancorp (BMRC) reported third-quarter earnings of $7.5 million, slightly up from $7.4 million in Q2 2020 but down from $9.4 million in Q3 2019. Diluted earnings per share remained stable at $0.55 for the last two quarters, dipping from $0.69 a year prior. Year-to-date earnings totaled $22.1 million, down from $25.2 million in the same period last year, largely due to a $5.1 million increase in provisions for loan losses amid economic challenges. Credit quality remained strong, with non-accrual loans at just 0.07%. The bank declared a cash dividend of $0.23 per share, marking its 62nd consecutive quarterly dividend.

NOVATO, Calif.--()--Bank of Marin Bancorp, "Bancorp" (Nasdaq: BMRC), parent company of Bank of Marin, "Bank," announced earnings of $7.5 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $7.4 million in the second quarter of 2020 and $9.4 million in the third quarter of 2019. Diluted earnings per share were $0.55 in both the third and second quarters of 2020 compared to $0.69 in the third quarter last year. Earnings for the first nine months of 2020 totaled $22.1 million compared to $25.2 million in the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share were $1.62 and $1.82 in the first nine months of 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Our net income for the first nine months of 2020 was $3.1 million lower than 2019, primarily due to the economic impact of the pandemic, resulting in a $5.1 million year-over-year increase in the provision for loan losses and an historic low interest rate environment. However, our credit quality remained strong with non-accrual loans representing only 0.07% of total loans and non-interest expenses remained relatively flat with an efficiency ratio of 56.21%.

"While this has been a difficult year for everyone, Bank of Marin’s disciplined approach to risk management and credit underwriting has enabled us to produce consistently strong financial performance during times of adversity,” said Russell A. Colombo, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to work with customers who need assistance due to the pandemic, but we are confident that we will emerge from this pandemic, along with our customers, well positioned for growth. The benefit of our disciplined approach serves not only the Bank, but also our customers, by keeping leverage low during this trying time."

The Bank has responded to the COVID-19 pandemic in a number of ways, including third quarter contributions of $360 thousand to ensure equitable access to remote learning resources for underserved students in Marin, Napa and Sonoma counties and the City of Alameda. In addition, to assist our employees during the pandemic, we paid $1,200 to each employee totaling $360 thousand in the third quarter, with executive management directing their payments to non-profit organizations of their choice. Since the onset of the pandemic, Bank of Marin has made Small Business Administration ("SBA") Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans to over 1,800 small businesses, reaching nearly 28,000 employees in our markets. We also accommodated loan payment relief requests for borrowers, lowered interest rate floors on commercial Prime Rate loans, waived ATM and overdraft fees, and cancelled early withdrawal penalties for certificates of deposit when allowed by law.

Bancorp provided the following highlights from the third quarter of 2020:

  • Loan balances of $2,108.0 million at September 30, 2020 held steady compared to $2,110.2 million at June 30, 2020. SBA PPP loans totaled $301.7 million at September 30, 2020 and $298.9 million at June 30, 2020, representing 14% of total loans for both periods.
  • Bank of Marin is awaiting further guidance from the SBA and the Department of Treasury regarding the PPP loan forgiveness process. We are prepared to open our secure portal for customers to submit forgiveness applications online once the final guidance is released. Of the total PPP loans, 48% (870 loans) totaling $18.4 million are less than or equal to $50,000.
  • While California’s wildfire season has once again been challenging for many communities in Northern California, fortunately, Bank of Marin and our clients have been minimally impacted. The fires had a negligible impact on our third quarter results.
  • Since granting $388.5 million in payment relief for 264 loans at the onset of the pandemic, 236 loans totaling $336.3 million have resumed or are scheduled to resume normal payments and eight loans totaling $5.0 million paid off.
  • Credit quality remains strong, with non-accrual loans representing 0.07% of total loans at September 30, 2020, compared to 0.08% of total loans at June 30, 2020. Classified loans decreased $2.5 million from June 30, 2020. Despite these low non-accrual totals, we considered the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our borrowers and the economy in general and recorded a $1.25 million provision for loan losses and $248 thousand provision for losses on off-balance sheet commitments in the third quarter of 2020. That compares to $2.0 million and $260 thousand, respectively, in the prior quarter. SBA PPP loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA and did not contribute to the provisions.
  • Total deposits decreased $210.6 million in the third quarter to $2,569.3 million, primarily due to normal fluctuations in some of our large business accounts and $146.6 million in temporary one-way sale transfers of deposits to third-party deposit networks as part of our liquidity management. Non-interest bearing deposits represented 54% of total deposits in the third quarter compared to 52% in the prior quarter. The cost of average deposits was 0.09% in the second and third quarters, compared to 0.21% in the third quarter of 2019.
  • All capital ratios were above well-capitalized regulatory requirements. The total risk-based capital ratio for Bancorp was 16.1% at September 30, 2020, compared to 15.8% at June 30, 2020. Tangible common equity to tangible assets was 11.0% at September 30, 2020, compared to 10.1% at June 30, 2020 (refer to footnote 5 on page 7 for a definition of this non-GAAP financial measure).
  • The Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.23 per share on October 23, 2020. This represents the 62nd consecutive quarterly dividend paid by Bank of Marin Bancorp. The dividend is payable on November 13, 2020, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 6, 2020.
  • On October 23, 2020, the Board of Directors approved reactivation of the $25.0 million share repurchase program that was suspended on March 20, 2020 as part of our proactive pandemic response.

Loans and Credit Quality

Loans decreased by $2.2 million in the third quarter and totaled $2,108.0 million at September 30, 2020. SBA PPP loans make up approximately $301.7 million at September 30, 2020. Non-PPP-related loan originations were $50.8 million and $122.4 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, compared to $77.3 million and $156.1 million for the same periods in 2019. Rates on new loans originated in the third quarter were similar to year-to-date origination rates, and 2020 year-to-date interest rates on originations are roughly 50 basis points lower than the full year 2019. Loan payoffs totaled $41.3 million in the third quarter and $124.7 million in the first nine months of 2020, compared to $38.5 million and $107.8 million in the respective 2019 periods. Additionally, commercial line utilization decreased $7.7 million and $24.5 million during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Over half of the loan payoffs in the third quarter consisted of consumer loans, mostly tenant in common and HELOCs, with the remainder consisting largely of loans where the underlying assets were sold, including completed construction projects, and payoffs from borrower liquidity.

As of October 19, 2020, twenty loans totaling $47.2 million (balances as of September 30, 2020) had either requested additional payment relief or the relief period had not expired. We know each of these clients very well and anticipate that the vast majority will work through this and resume payments. The following table summarizes these loans by industry:

Non-accrual loans totaled $1.4 million, or 0.07% of the loan portfolio, at September 30, 2020, compared to $1.6 million, or 0.08% at June 30, 2020, and $422 thousand, or 0.02% a year ago. Classified loans totaled $11.0 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $13.5 million at June 30, 2020 and $9.9 million at September 30, 2019. The $2.5 million decrease in classified loans from the prior quarter primarily resulted from an upgrade in the risk rating for a commercial real estate loan to Special Mention due to an improvement in the borrower’s financial condition and low loan-to-value ratio. There were no loans classified doubtful at September 30, 2020, June 30, 2020, or June 30, 2019. Accruing loans past due 30 to 89 days totaled $318 thousand at September 30, 2020, compared to $83 thousand at June 30, 2020 and $574 thousand a year ago.

We recorded loan loss provisions totaling $1.25 million and $2.0 million in the third and second quarters of 2020, respectively, compared to a $400 thousand loan loss provision in the third quarter a year ago. A $5.45 million loan loss provision was recorded in the first nine months of 2020, compared to $400 thousand in the first nine months of 2019. Loan loss provisions in 2020 were primarily due to adjustments to qualitative factors impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Net charge-offs were $4 thousand in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $16 thousand for the prior quarter and net recoveries of $6 thousand in the third quarter a year ago. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.05% at September 30, 2020, 0.99% at June 30, 2020, and 0.90% at September 30, 2019. Excluding non-PCI and SBA PPP loans, the allowance for loan losses represented 1.29% of total loans as of September 30, 2020 (refer to footnote 4 on page 7 for a definition of this non-GAAP financial measure).

In accordance with the accounting relief provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security ("CARES") Act passed in March 2020, the Bank postponed the adoption of the current expected credit loss ("CECL") accounting standard. The Bank has continued to run the CECL model in parallel with the incurred loss model and will adopt the CECL standard as of December 31, 2020. Upon adoption of the CECL standard, we will record a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings in our financial statements, net of taxes, based on economic forecasts and other assumptions as of January 1, 2020. That adjustment will result in an increase to our allowance for credit losses of approximately $1.6 million and an increase to the allowance for off-balance sheet commitments of approximately $122 thousand. These adjustments do not include the subsequent COVID-19 pandemic-related impact. Upon adoption on December 31, 2020, we will recognize the difference between the allowance for credit losses calculated under the CECL model as of December 31, 2020 and the allowance for credit losses calculated under the incurred loss model as of September 30, 2020 as a provision for credit losses and a provision for credit losses on off-balance sheet commitments, as applicable. Based on information available at this time, we do not expect the fourth quarter provision for credit losses to exceed 10% of the September 30, 2020 allowance for credit losses. However, the exact amount will depend on certain forecasts, such as the California unemployment rate, and other assumptions available as of December 31, 2020, which could be significantly different from present levels.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $213.6 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $397.7 million at June 30, 2020. The $184.1 million decrease was primarily due to $146.6 million in temporary transfers of deposits to third-party deposit networks as part of our liquidity management. Effective March 26, 2020, the Federal Reserve reduced the reserve requirement ratios to zero percent in response to the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in no restricted cash requirements as of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020.

Investments

The investment securities portfolio decreased from $555.6 million at June 30, 2020 to $530.8 million at September 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily attributed to paydowns, maturities and calls of $39.5 million, partially offset by purchases of $14.8 million.

Deposits

Total deposits were $2,569.3 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $2,779.9 million at June 30, 2020. The $210.6 million decrease during the third quarter was primarily due to $146.6 million in temporary transfers of deposits to third-party deposit networks and normal fluctuations in some of our large business accounts, as mentioned above. The average cost of deposits in the second and third quarter of 2020 was 0.09%.

Earnings

"We continue to work closely with our customers, drawing on our strong capital and liquidity positions as well as our more than 30-year history of steady performance to help them navigate this challenging economic environment,” said Tani Girton, EVP and Chief Financial Officer. “We have done this while maintaining strong credit quality, a low-cost deposit base, and solid profits for our shareholders."

Net interest income totaled $24.6 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $24.4 million in the prior quarter and $24.2 million a year ago. The $191 thousand increase from the prior quarter was primarily related to a $731 thousand increase in interest income due to higher average balances on SBA PPP loans as well as an additional day of interest income in the quarter, partially offset by the effect of lower balances and yields on non-PPP loans and investment securities. Yields on non-PPP loans have fallen over the course of 2020 due to loans originated prior to 2020 repricing downward with declining interest rates as well as the reduction in commercial Prime Rate loan floors.

The $415 thousand increase from the comparative quarter a year ago was primarily attributed to $2.4 million from SBA PPP loans, higher non-PPP loan balances and lower interest expense on deposits. These positive variances were partially offset by the impact of lower interest rates on non-PPP loans, cash and investments.

Net interest income totaled $73.1 million in the first nine months of 2020, compared to $71.8 million for the same period in 2019. The $1.3 million increase was primarily due to SBA PPP loan income, higher commercial loan balances, higher yields on investments and lower rates on deposits partially offset by lower yields on loans.

The tax-equivalent net interest margin was 3.44% in the third quarter, 3.53% in the prior quarter, and 4.04% in the third quarter of 2019. The tax-equivalent net interest margin was 3.59% in the first nine months of 2020, compared to 4.03% for the same period in 2019. The decreases in tax-equivalent net interest margin were attributable to both the lower interest rate environment and SBA PPP loans. SBA PPP loans lowered the 2020 net interest margin by 4 basis points in the third quarter, and 3 basis points in the first nine months.

Non-interest income totaled $1.8 million in the second and third quarter of 2020, and $2.7 million in the third quarter a year ago. The slight decrease from the prior quarter was mostly attributed to the absence of gains on sales of investment securities. The $1.0 million decrease from the same quarter a year ago was primarily due to a $562 thousand benefit collected on bank-owned life insurance ("BOLI") policies in the third quarter of 2019. Additionally fewer ATM fees and service charges on deposit accounts, lower dividends on Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") stock, and lower fee income from one-way deposit sales to third-party deposit networks in the third quarter of 2020 all contributed to the decrease.

Non-interest income totaled $6.7 million in the first nine months of 2020, compared to $6.8 million in the first nine months of 2019. The small decline was driven by decreases across most non-interest income categories, partially offset by higher gains on sales of investment securities in the first nine months of 2020.

Non-interest expense increased $1.1 million to $15.2 million in the third quarter of 2020 from $14.1 million in the prior quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher salaries and benefits as the second quarter included $890 thousand in SBA PPP-related deferred loan origination costs. Additionally, the third quarter included $206 thousand more in charitable contributions to non-profit organizations.

Non-interest expense increased $1.0 million to $15.2 in the third quarter of 2020 from $14.2 million in the third quarter of 2019. The increase was primarily due to $370 thousand more in charitable contributions, $248 thousand provision for losses on off-balance sheet commitments, and higher salaries and benefits driven by annual merit increases. Additionally, the third quarter included higher Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance expense due to fewer FDIC assessment credits, and higher occupancy expense associated with the renewal of leases for our existing headquarters offices and a new lease for a loan production office in San Mateo.

Non-interest expense increased $204 thousand to $44.8 million in the first nine months of 2020 from $44.6 million in the first nine months of 2019. The increase was primarily due to $544 thousand higher charitable contributions, $484 thousand higher occupancy expense associated with new and renewed leases mentioned above, and $481 thousand higher provision for losses on off-balance sheet commitments. These increases were partially offset by decreases in salaries and related benefits primarily due to $915 thousand SBA PPP-related deferred loan origination costs and fewer data processing costs from our digital platform conversion.

Share Repurchase Program

As of March 20, 2020, Bancorp had repurchased 58,526 shares totaling $1.8 million under this program. On October 23, 2020, the Board reactivated this share repurchase program.

3 Excludes accruing troubled-debt restructured loans of $12.3 million, $10.3 million and $11.9 million at September 30, 2020, June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively.

4 The allowance for loan losses to total loans, excluding non-impaired non-PCI and guaranteed SBA PPP loans, is considered a meaningful non-GAAP financial measure, as it represents only those loans that were considered in the calculation of the allowance for loan losses. Non-PCI loans that were not impaired at September 30, June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 totaled $90.4 million, $95.6 million and $106.8 million, respectively. SBA PPP loans totaled $301.7 million and $298.9 million at September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively. There were no SBA PPP loans as of September 30, 2019.

5 Tangible common equity to tangible assets is considered to be a meaningful non-GAAP financial measure of capital adequacy and is useful for investors to assess Bancorp's ability to absorb potential losses. Tangible common equity includes common stock, retained earnings and unrealized gain on available for sale securities, net of tax, less goodwill and intangible assets of $34.2 million, $34.4 million and $35.0 million at September 30, 2020, June 30, 2020, and September 30, 2019, respectively. Tangible assets exclude goodwill and intangible assets.

1 Interest income/expense is divided by actual number of days in the period times 360 days to correspond to stated interest rate terms, where applicable.

2 Yields on available-for-sale securities are calculated based on amortized cost balances rather than fair value, as changes in fair value are reflected as a component of stockholders' equity. Investment security interest is earned on 30/360 day basis monthly.

3 Yields and interest income on tax-exempt securities and loans are presented on a taxable-equivalent basis using the Federal statutory rate of 21 percent in 2020 and 2019.

4 Average balances on loans outstanding include non-performing loans. The amortized portion of net loan origination fees is included in interest income on loans, representing an adjustment to the yield.
