Insights

Chain Bridge Bancorp's Q3 2024 results show remarkable financial strength with $7.5 million in consolidated net income, a significant increase from $2.8 million in Q3 2023. The company's successful IPO raised $33.6 million, strengthening its capital position. Key performance metrics are impressive, with a 29.90% return on average equity and 2.03% return on average assets.

The bank's unique business model focusing on political organizations has driven substantial deposit growth, though investors should note the cyclical nature of these deposits with expected outflows post-election. The net interest margin improved to 3.73%, benefiting from higher Federal Reserve interest rates and efficient balance sheet management.

The loan-to-deposit ratio of 20.92% is notably conservative, providing significant flexibility but potentially limiting earnings potential. Strong asset quality with zero non-performing assets and robust capital ratios indicate a well-managed institution.

The company's recent IPO and strong Q3 performance position it uniquely in the banking sector. The trust and wealth management division shows promising growth, with assets under administration reaching $384.0 million, up significantly from $185.8 million year-over-year. This diversification of revenue streams is important for long-term stability.

However, investors should carefully consider the seasonal nature of political deposits and their impact on future earnings. The expected post-election deposit outflows could significantly affect the bank's earnings power in 2025. The high liquidity ratio of 85.31% provides a strong buffer but may pressure profitability in a normalized rate environment.

MCLEAN, Va., Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Chain Bridge Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: CBNA) (the "Company"), the holding company for Chain Bridge Bank, N.A. (the "Bank"), today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2024 and the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

On October 3, 2024, the Company priced its initial public offering (the "IPO") of 1,850,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Class A Common Stock") at $22.00 per share. In connection with the IPO, the Company reclassified and converted each previously outstanding share of the Company's existing common stock, par value $1.00 per share ("Old Common Stock"), into 170 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Class B Common Stock") (the "Reclassification"). The Class A Common Stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on October 4, 2024, under the ticker symbol "CBNA." Shares of Class B Common Stock are convertible on a one-for-one basis into shares of Class A Common Stock.

On October 7, 2024, the Company completed its IPO and received net proceeds of approximately $33.6 million. On October 10, 2024, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds to fully repay the $10.0 million outstanding principal balance on its unsecured line of credit with a correspondent bank.

Our financial statements, including earnings per share and book value per share, reflect the Reclassification retroactively. As a result, the financial statements as of and for the periods ended September 30, 2024 show no shares of Old Common Stock or Class A Common Stock outstanding, and 4,568,920 shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding. Because the IPO occurred after September 30, 2024, the financial impacts are not included in the financial statements presented in this release.

Return on Average Equity: 29.90% (on an annualized basis)
Return on Average Assets: 2.03% (on an annualized basis)
Book Value Per Share: $22.95 compared to $20.57 at June 30, 2024, and $16.45 at September 30, 2023

Year-to-Date 2024 Financial Highlights (Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024):

Consolidated Net Income: $17.2 million
Earnings Per Share: $3.77 per basic and diluted common share outstanding
Return on Average Equity: 25.00% (on an annualized basis)
Return on Average Assets: 1.79% (on an annualized basis)

Financial Performance

The Company reported net income of $7.5 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $5.8 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $2.8 million in the third quarter of 2023. Earnings per share for the third quarter of 2024 were $1.64, compared to $1.27 for the second quarter of 2024 and $0.62 for the third quarter of 2023.

The increase in earnings during the third quarter of 2024 was primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income of $3.1 million over the second quarter of 2024, and $6.5 million over the third quarter of 2023. The rise in net interest income resulted from higher average interest-earning assets and an improvement in the net interest margin across both periods. Although non-interest income increased by $450 thousand over the second quarter of 2024 and by $1.9 million over the third quarter of 2023, these increases were offset by non-interest expense increases of $1.4 million over the second quarter of 2024 and $2.6 million over the third quarter of 2023.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company reported net income of $17.2 million, compared to $5.5 million for the same period in 2023. Earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $3.77, compared to $1.21 for the same period in 2023.

The increase in earnings for the first nine months of 2024 reflects a $13.0 million increase in net interest income, driven by a $258.8 million increase in average interest-earning assets, compared to the same period in 2023. Additionally, non-interest income rose $5.4 million compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to higher fee income from IntraFi Cash Service^® (ICS^®) One-Way Sell^® deposits. However, non-interest expenses increased $4.7 million, reflecting higher employment and professional services expenses associated with the Company's preparations to become a public company.

Book Value Per Share (BVPS)

As of September 30, 2024, book value per share (BVPS) was $22.95, reflecting the retroactive application of the Reclassification for comparability, compared to $20.57 at June 30, 2024 and $16.45 at September 30, 2023.

The quarter-over-quarter increase in BVPS was primarily driven by $7.5 million in retained earnings during the third quarter of 2024. Additionally, a $3.4 million reduction in accumulated other comprehensive loss, largely due to improvements in the fair value of our available for sale bond portfolio, further contributed to BVPS growth.

The year-over-year increase in BVPS reflected a $20.6 million rise in retained earnings over the 12-month period and a $9.1 million reduction in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2024 was $13.6 million, compared to $10.6 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $7.2 million in the third quarter of 2023. Income from interest-bearing deposits in other banks, primarily comprised of reserve balances at the Federal Reserve, drove the increase in net interest income to $7.4 million in the third quarter of 2024 from $4.9 million during the second quarter of 2024 and $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2023. Interest and dividends on securities also increased during the third quarter of 2024 to $3.9 million, from $3.2 million during the second quarter of 2024 and $3.0 million during the third quarter of 2023. The net interest margin, which is calculated as net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets and presented on an annualized basis, was 3.73% in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 3.43% in the second quarter of 2024 and 2.78% in the third quarter of 2023.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net interest income totaled $33.0 million, compared to $20.0 million for the same period in 2023, with a net interest margin of 3.47% compared to 2.64% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The income from interest-bearing deposits increased during the nine month period to $15.6 million compared to $3.7 million during the same period in 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, interest and dividends on securities increased to $10.2 million from $9.3 million during the first nine months of 2023.

The rise in net interest income and net interest margin during both the third quarter of 2024 and the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was driven by growth in reserves held at the Federal Reserve and investments in securities, along with declining deposit costs. The increase in these earning asset segments was primarily driven by a rise in deposits from political organizations ahead of the November 2024 presidential election. The interest rate paid by the Federal Reserve on reserve balances increased from 5.15% to 5.40%, effective July 27, 2023, and decreased from 5.40% to 4.90%, effective September 19, 2024.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2024 was $3.1 million, driven by $2.5 million in deposit placement services income which is fee income we earn on One-Way Sell^® deposits sold through the ICS^® network. Many of these deposits were sourced from political organizations. Other contributors to non-interest income included $376 thousand in service charges on deposit accounts and $243 thousand in trust and wealth management income. By comparison, non-interest income was $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, driven by $2.0 million in deposit placement services income, $321 thousand in service charges on accounts, and $239 thousand in trust and wealth management services income. Non-interest income was $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2023, driven by $859 thousand in deposit placement services income, $227 thousand in service charges on accounts, and $149 thousand in trust and wealth management income.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, non-interest income totaled $7.4 million, driven by $5.6 million in deposit placement services income, $1.0 million in service charges on accounts, and $669 thousand in trust and wealth management income. This compares to $1.9 million in non-interest income for the same period in 2023, driven by $1.1 million in deposit placement services income, $651 thousand in service charges on account, and $407 thousand in trust and wealth management income.

Non-Interest Expenses

Total non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2024 was $7.4 million, compared to $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $4.9 million in the third quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily driven by higher salaries and employee benefit costs, and an increase in professional service fees associated with the Company's preparation for becoming a public company.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, total non-interest expenses were $19.2 million, compared to $14.4 million in the same period in 2023. The change was primarily driven by increased salaries and employee benefits, which totaled $11.6 million during the period, and increased professional services expenses, which increased to $2.2 million primarily on account of the increased professional service fees.

Seasonal Deposit Trends and Outlook

As of September 30, 2024, the Bank maintained elevated deposit levels ahead of the November 2024 federal elections. We estimate that at least a majority of our deposit balances as of September 30, 2024 were sourced from political organizations. Deposits from political organizations are currently experiencing outflows, which we expect to continue through the end of the fourth quarter of 2024 and into early 2025, as the 2024 election cycle concludes. The outflows to date have been consistent with the seasonal patterns we have historically observed during federal election cycles. Historically, deposits from political organizations have typically increased in the periods leading up to federal elections and declined in the quarters during and after federal elections. The amount and timing of these deposit inflows and outflows are difficult to predict and may differ from historical patterns.
