ST. LOUIS PARK, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Bridgewater Bancshares, Inc. (Nasdaq: BWB) (the Company), the parent company of Bridgewater Bank (the Bank), today announced net income of $13.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, a 5.4% decrease from net income of $14.5 million for the third quarter of 2022, and a 9.8% increase from net income of $12.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2021.

“Bridgewater delivered another strong year of financial results in 2022 highlighted again by our robust balance sheet growth, highly efficient business model and superb asset quality, with all of these trends continuing in the fourth quarter,” said Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, Jerry Baack. “As expected, we also saw net interest margin compression during the quarter as the persistent rising interest rate environment created additional funding pressure given our strong loan growth. While we expect the operating environment to remain challenging as we head into 2023, we are taking steps to actively manage our balance sheet in the near-term, with a focus on profitable growth, to drive sustained success over the long-term.”

Income Statement

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $32.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 3.5%, from $34.1 million in the third quarter of 2022, and an increase of $3.7 million, or 12.8%, from $29.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The linked-quarter decrease in net interest income was due to higher rates paid on deposits and increased borrowings in the rising interest rate environment. The year-over-year increase in net interest income was primarily due to growth in average interest earning assets and higher yields on investment securities and core loans, offset partially by higher rates paid on deposits and borrowings. Average interest earning assets were $4.18 billion for the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of $305.7 million, or 7.9%, from $3.87 billion for the third quarter of 2022, and an increase of $857.0 million, or 25.8%, from $3.32 billion for the fourth quarter of 2021. The linked-quarter increase in average interest earning assets was primarily due to strong organic growth in the loan portfolio and purchases of investment securities. The year-over-year increase in average interest earning assets was primarily due to strong organic growth in the loan portfolio and purchases of investment securities, offset partially by the forgiveness of PPP loans and the reduction of cash balances.

Net interest margin (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 3.16%, a 37 basis point decrease from 3.53% in the third quarter of 2022, and a 35 basis point decrease from 3.51% in the fourth quarter of 2021. 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 fourth quarter of 2022 was 3.05%, a 33 basis point decrease from 3.38% in the third quarter of 2022, and a 20 basis point decrease from 3.25% in the fourth quarter of 2021. The Company remains focused on managing the impact of continued interest rate hikes and the evolving shape of the yield curve during this unique interest rate environment.

As the PPP loan portfolio has almost fully paid off, the recognition of fees associated with the originations has decreased significantly, which impacts comparability between periods. The Company recognized $45,000 of PPP origination fees during the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $90,000 during the third quarter of 2022, and $958,000 during the fourth quarter of 2021. There were no remaining PPP origination fees to be recognized as of December 31, 2022.

Interest income was $48.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of $6.5 million, or 15.3%, from $42.4 million in the third quarter of 2022, and an increase of $15.1 million, or 44.7%, from $33.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The yield on interest earning assets (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) was 4.67% in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to 4.37% in the third quarter of 2022, and 4.06% in the fourth quarter of 2021. The linked-quarter increase in the yield on interest earning assets was primarily due to the rapid increase in market interest rates resulting in new loan originations, loans repricing, and investment purchases at yields accretive to the existing portfolios. 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, offset partially by the lower recognition of PPP origination fees.

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 4.86% in the fourth quarter of 2022, which was 27 basis points higher than 4.59% in the third quarter of 2022, and 45 basis points higher than 4.41% in the fourth quarter of 2021. While loan fees have historically maintained a relatively stable contribution to the aggregate loan yield, the recent periods were impacted by 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 loans 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:

Interest expense was $16.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of $7.7 million, or 93.2%, from $8.3 million in the third quarter of 2022, and an increase of $11.3 million, or 245.4%, from $4.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 92 basis points on a linked-quarter basis from 1.30% in the third quarter of 2022 to 2.22% in the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily due to higher rates paid on deposits, drawing on the Company’s revolving line of credit, and the increased utilization of federal funds purchased and FHLB advances in the rising interest rate environment. On a year-over-year basis, the cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 136 basis points from 0.86% in the fourth quarter of 2021 to 2.22% in the fourth quarter of 2022, 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 $10.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of $4.8 million, or 80.2%, from $6.0 million in the third quarter of 2022, and an increase of $7.5 million, or 232.6%, from $3.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The cost of total deposits increased 58 basis points on a linked-quarter basis from 0.73% in the third quarter of 2022, to 1.31% in the fourth quarter of 2022. On a year-over-year basis, the cost of total deposits increased 86 basis points from 0.45% in the fourth quarter of 2021, to 1.31% in the fourth quarter of 2022. The linked-quarter and year-over-year increases were primarily due to the upward repricing of the deposit portfolio in the higher interest rate environment.

A summary of the Company’s average balances, interest yields and rates, and net interest margin for the three months ended December 31, 2022, September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021 is as follows:

_________________________

(1)

Interest income and average rates for tax-exempt investment securities and loans are presented on a tax-equivalent basis, assuming a statutory federal income tax rate of 21%.

(2)

Average loan balances include nonaccrual loans. Interest income on loans includes amortization of deferred loan fees, net of deferred loan costs.

(3)

Net interest margin includes the tax equivalent adjustment and represents the annualized results of: (i) the difference between interest income on interest earning assets and the interest expense on interest bearing liabilities, divided by (ii) average interest earning assets for the period.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was $1.5 million for both the third and fourth quarter of 2022 and $350,000 higher than the $1.2 million provided in the fourth quarter of 2021. The provision recorded in the fourth quarter of 2022 was primarily attributable to the growth of the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.34% at December 31, 2022, compared to 1.38% at September 30, 2022, and 1.42% at December 31, 2021.

As an emerging growth company, the Company anticipates adopting Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments,” as of January 1, 2023 and does not expect a material adjustment upon adoption. The current estimate and future calculations are highly dependent on loan composition, macroeconomic conditions and forecasts, and other management assumptions and judgements.

The following table presents the activity in the Company’s allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated:

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $1.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of $351,000 from $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2022, and an increase of $450,000 from $1.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The linked-quarter increase was primarily due to an increase in other income, which included $306,000 of rate lock fees, offset partially by a decrease in letter of credit fees. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to increased customer service fees, an increase in bank-owned life insurance income and an increase in other income, offset partially by decreased letter of credit fees.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $15.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of $1.0 million from $14.2 million for the third quarter of 2022, and an increase of $2.7 million from $12.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The linked-quarter increase was primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits, derivative collateral fees, and other expense. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to increases in salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, and derivative collateral fees.

The effective combined federal and state income tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 23.4%, a decrease from 26.8% for the third quarter of 2022 and 25.7% for the fourth quarter of 2021.

Balance Sheet

Total assets at December 31, 2022 were $4.35 billion, a 5.2% increase from $4.13 billion at September 30, 2022, and a 25.0% increase from $3.48 billion at December 31, 2021. The linked-quarter increase in total assets was primarily due to strong organic loan growth and continued purchases of investment securities. The year-over-year increase in total assets was primarily due to strong organic loan growth, purchases of investment securities and an increase of other assets, offset partially by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents.

Total gross loans at December 31, 2022 were $3.57 billion, an increase of $189.4 million, or 5.6%, over total gross loans of $3.38 billion at September 30, 2022, and an increase of $750.0 million, or 26.6%, over total gross loans of $2.82 billion at December 31, 2021. The increase in the loan portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2022 was primarily due to growth in the construction and land development, multifamily, and CRE nonowner occupied segments.

Total deposits at December 31, 2022 were $3.42 billion, an increase of $111.5 million, or 3.4%, over total deposits of $3.31 billion at September 30, 2022, and an increase of $470.3 million, or 16.0%, over total deposits of $2.95 billion at December 31, 2021. Deposit growth in the fourth quarter of 2022 was primarily due to an increase in brokered deposits, offset partially by a decline in all other deposit portfolios. Brokered deposits were being used as a supplemental funding source, as needed, to support the loan portfolio growth.

Capital

Total shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2022 was $394.1 million, an increase of $12.1 million compared to total shareholders’ equity of $382.0 million at September 30, 2022, and an increase of $14.8 million, or 3.9%, over total shareholders’ equity of $379.3 million at December 31, 2021. The linked-quarter increase was due to net income retained, offset partially by unrealized losses in the securities portfolio. The year-over-year increase was due to net income retained and unrealized gains in the derivatives portfolio, offset partially by stock repurchases made under the Company’s stock repurchase program and an increase in unrealized losses in the securities portfolio. The Company did not purchase any shares of its common stock during the fourth quarter of 2022.

Tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $11.69 as of December 31, 2022, an increase of 3.2% from $11.33 as of September 30, 2022, and an increase of 6.5% from $10.98 as of December 31, 2021. The linked-quarter and year-over-year increase occurred despite the market value depreciation of the securities portfolio driven by the rapidly rising interest rate environment, which continues to negatively impact accumulated other comprehensive income. Tangible common equity as a percentage of tangible assets, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 7.48% at December 31, 2022, compared to 7.57% at September 30, 2022, and 8.91% at December 31, 2021.

Today, the Company also announced that its Board of Directors 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 March 1, 2023 to shareholders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock at the close of business on February 15, 2023.

Asset Quality

Annualized net charge-offs (recoveries) as a percent of average loans were 0.00% for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to (0.03)% for the third quarter of 2022 and 0.00% for each of the previous three quarters. At December 31, 2022, the Company’s nonperforming assets, which include nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days and still accruing, and foreclosed assets, were $639,000, or 0.01% of total assets, as compared to $663,000, or 0.02% of total assets at September 30, 2022, and $722,000, or 0.02% of total assets at December 31, 2021.

Loans that have potential weaknesses that warrant a watchlist risk rating at December 31, 2022 totaled $32.3 million, compared to $22.8 million at September 30, 2022, and $49.3 million at December 31, 2021. The linked-quarter increase was primarily due to the migration of two loan relationships. The increased uncertainty in the economic environment may result in further watchlist or adverse classifications in the loan portfolio. Loans that warranted a substandard risk rating at December 31, 2022 totaled $28.0 million, compared to $30.8 million at September 30, 2022, and $22.6 million at December 31, 2021.

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

This earnings release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements concerning plans, estimates, calculations, forecasts and projections with respect to the anticipated future performance of the Company. These statements are often, but not always, identified by words such as “may”, “might”, “should”, “could”, “predict”, “potential”, “believe”, “expect”, “continue”, “will”, “anticipate”, “seek”, “estimate”, “intend”, “plan”, “projection”, “would”, “annualized”, “target” and “outlook”, or the negative version of those words or other comparable words of a future or forward-looking nature.

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; 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; 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 changes to federal and state corporate tax rates; 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 we 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.

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this press release is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

(1)

Interest income and average rates for tax-exempt investment securities and loans are presented on a tax-equivalent basis, assuming a statutory federal income tax rate of 21%

(2)

Average loan balances include nonaccrual loans. Interest income on loans includes amortization of deferred loan fees, net of deferred loan costs.

(3)

Net interest margin includes the tax equivalent adjustment and represents the annualized results of: (i) the difference between interest income on interest earning assets and the interest expense on interest bearing liabilities, divided by (ii) average interest earning assets for the period.
