Insights

Financial Analyst

Bridgewater Bancshares' Q2 2024 results show modest improvement but some ongoing challenges. The net income of $8.1 million and diluted EPS of $0.26 represent slight increases from Q1, but are down year-over-year. The bank's net interest margin held steady at 2.24%, breaking a streak of declines, which is a positive sign.

Loan growth was tepid at 1.7% annualized, while deposits were essentially flat. The loan-to-deposit ratio of 99.8% remains high, indicating funding flexibility. Asset quality metrics remain strong, with nonperforming assets at just 0.01% of total assets.

The efficiency ratio ticked up to 58.7%, suggesting some pressure on expense management. Capital levels improved, with the CET1 ratio rising to 9.41%. The bank continues to repurchase shares, which may support EPS but could limit capital growth.

Overall, Bridgewater is navigating a challenging environment relatively well, but growth and profitability remain constrained. The stable NIM and improving capital ratios are positives, but investors should watch for further progress on deposit growth and expense management.

Banking Industry Specialist

Bridgewater's Q2 results reflect broader industry trends while highlighting some company-specific strengths. The bank's ability to stabilize its net interest margin is noteworthy in the current rate environment, where many peers are still experiencing compression. This suggests effective balance sheet management and pricing discipline.

The increase in tangible book value per share to $13.53, marking 30 consecutive quarters of growth, is impressive and demonstrates consistent value creation for shareholders. However, the modest loan growth of 1.7% annualized indicates a cautious approach in a potentially slowing economy.

Bridgewater's focus on the Twin Cities market appears to be paying off in terms of asset quality, with minimal nonperforming assets and net charge-offs. This geographic concentration could be both a strength and a potential risk if the local economy faces challenges.

The bank's high loan-to-deposit ratio and reliance on brokered deposits for growth suggest potential funding challenges. Improving core deposit growth should be a priority to enhance the bank's funding profile and potentially improve margins.

While the efficiency ratio has increased, it remains reasonable for a bank of Bridgewater's size and growth stage. However, management should focus on containing expense growth to improve profitability in a challenging revenue environment.

Income Statement

Net Interest Margin and Net Interest Income

Net interest margin (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) for the second quarter of 2024 was 2.24%, stable with 2.24% in the first quarter of 2024, and a 16 basis point decline from 2.40% in the second quarter of 2023. Core net interest margin (on a fully tax-equivalent basis), a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes the impact of loan fees, was 2.17% for the second quarter of 2024, a one basis point decline from 2.18% in the first quarter of 2024, and a 14 basis point decline from 2.31% in the second quarter of 2023.

• The linked-quarter margin remained stable.
• The year-over-year decline in the margin was primarily due to higher funding costs, offset partially by higher earning asset yields.

Net interest income was $25.0 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $365,000 from $24.6 million in the first quarter of 2024, and a decrease of $876,000 from $25.9 million in the second quarter of 2023.

• The linked-quarter increase in net interest income was primarily due to growth and higher yields in the loan and securities portfolios.
• The year-over year decrease in net interest income was primarily due to higher rates paid on deposits and growth in the rising interest rate environment, which outpaced the repricing of the loan and securities portfolios.

Interest income was $60.9 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $2.2 million from $58.7 million in the first quarter of 2024, and an increase of $5.9 million from $55.0 million in the second quarter of 2023.

• The yield on interest earning assets (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) was 5.41% in the second quarter of 2024, compared to 5.28% in the first quarter of 2024 and 5.06% in the second quarter of 2023.
• The linked-quarter increase in the yield on interest earning assets was primarily due to growth and repricing of the loan portfolio at yields accretive to the existing portfolio.
• The year-over-year increase in the yield on interest earning assets was primarily due to the purchase of higher yielding securities and the 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 increased to 5.50% in the second quarter of 2024, 12 basis points higher than 5.38% in the first quarter of 2024, and 31 basis points higher than 5.19% in the second quarter of 2023.
• 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 for the periods indicated is as follows:

		Three Months Ended
		June 30, 2024			March 30, 2024			December 31, 2023			September 30, 2023			June 30, 2023
Interest		5.42	%		5.31	%		5.25	%		5.16	%		5.09	%
Fees		0.08			0.07			0.08			0.10			0.10
Yield on Loans		5.50	%		5.38	%		5.33	%		5.26	%		5.19	%

Interest expense was $35.9 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $1.8 million from $34.0 million in the first quarter of 2024, and an increase of $6.8 million from $29.1 million in the second quarter of 2023.

• The cost of interest bearing liabilities was 4.19% in the second quarter of 2024, compared to 4.03% in the first quarter of 2024 and 3.59% in the second quarter of 2023.
• The linked-quarter increase in the cost of interest bearing liabilities was primarily due to higher rates paid on deposits and an increase in the utilization of overnight borrowings.
• The year-over-year increase in the cost of interest bearing liabilities was primarily due to continued deposit repricing in the higher rate environment.

Interest expense on deposits was $31.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $1.4 million from $30.2 million in the first quarter of 2024, and an increase of $8.6 million from $23.0 million in the second quarter of 2023.

• The cost of total deposits was 3.46% in the second quarter of 2024, compared to 3.32% in the first quarter of 2024 and 2.66% in the second quarter of 2023.
• The linked-quarter increase in the cost of total deposits was primarily due to continued client demand for higher interest rates, increased competition, and changes in the mix of deposits.
• The year-over-year increase in the cost of total deposits was 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 $600,000 for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $850,000 for the first quarter of 2024 and $550,000 for the second quarter of 2023.

• The provision for credit losses on loans recorded in the second quarter of 2024 was primarily attributable to changes in the mix of the loan portfolio.
• The allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans was 1.37% at June 30, 2024, compared to 1.36% at both March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023.

There was no provision for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures for the second quarter of 2024, compared to a negative provision of $100,000 for the first quarter of 2024 and a negative provision of $500,000 for the second quarter of 2023.

• No provision was recorded during the second quarter of 2024 due to unfunded commitments remaining stable as the migration to funded loans was offset by the volume of newly originated loans with unfunded commitments.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $213,000 from $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2024 and an increase of $348,000 from $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2023.

• The linked-quarter increase was primarily due to a net gain on sale of securities and higher letter of credit fees, offset partially by a decrease in other income.
• The year-over-year increase was primarily due to a net gain on sale of securities and an increase in the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $15.5 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $350,000 from $15.2 million for the first quarter of 2024 and an increase of $1.3 million from $14.3 million for the second quarter of 2023.

• The linked-quarter increase was primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits and other expense, offset partially by a decrease in the FDIC insurance assessment.
• The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to increases in salaries and employee benefits, higher derivative collateral fees and information technology and telecommunications, offset partially by a decrease in the FDIC insurance assessment.
• The efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 58.7% for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 58.2% for the first quarter of 2024, and 52.3% for the second quarter of 2023.
• The Company had 258 full-time equivalent employees at June 30, 2024, compared to 255 employees at March 31, 2024, and 253 employees at June 30, 2023.

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 sustained high interest rates; fluctuations in the values of the securities held in our securities portfolio, including as the result of changes in interest rates; business and economic conditions generally and in the financial services industry, nationally and within our market area, including high rates of inflation and possible recession; the effects of developments and events in the financial services industry, including the large-scale deposit withdrawals over a short period of time that resulted in recent bank failures; 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 credit losses on loans; new or revised accounting standards; the concentration of large loans to certain borrowers; the concentration of large deposits from certain clients, who have balances above current FDIC insurance limits; 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; 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 or our third-party vendors’ information security controls or cybersecurity-related incidents, including as a result of sophisticated attacks using artificial intelligence and similar tools; 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 bank failures; risks related to climate change and the negative impact it may have on our customers and their businesses; the imposition of other governmental policies impacting the value of products produced by our commercial borrowers; severe weather, natural disasters, wide spread disease or pandemics, acts of war or terrorism or other adverse external events, including the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict and 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; potential changes in federal policy and at regulatory agencies as a result of the upcoming 2024 presidential election; 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.
