MVB Financial Corp. Announces First Quarter 2023 Results

FAIRMONT, W. Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- MVB Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: MVBF) (“MVB Financial,” “MVB” or the “Company”), the holding company for MVB Bank, Inc. ("MVB Bank"), today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2023, with reported net income of $11.3 million, or $0.90 basic and $0.87 diluted earnings per share.

Notable First Quarter Developments

• Total deposits increased by 22.6%, or $580.3 million, from the prior quarter end.
• Liquidity improved. The loan to deposit ratio of 74.9% at quarter-end versus 92.3% at the prior quarter end; total cash and cash equivalents of $575.3 million, up from $40.3 million at the prior quarter end.
• MVB had no outstanding Federal Home Loan Bank or other liquidity-related borrowings, including from the Federal Reserve’s discount window or the Bank Term Funding Program.
• Recent net interest income was resilient, despite actions to increase liquidity taken in response to recent events impacting the banking industry, net interest income was down 2.2% from the prior quarter and up 49.8% from the year-ago period.
• MVB has no held to maturity investment securities. Current tangible book value (“TBV”) and tangible common equity (“TCE”) fully reflects the impact of unrealized losses.¹
• Tangible book value grew 4.5% per share to $21.17 from the prior quarter end.
• MVB’s foundation remained stable with a bank leverage ratio of 10.0%.
• MVB’s loan portfolio had limited CRE concentration and office exposure. CRE loans represent 217% of total risk-based capital; office CRE loans of $65.1 million represent 2.76% of total loans and are geographically diverse.
• The gain on the sale of Chartwell Compliance facilitated repositioning of MVB’s investment portfolio (previously-announced) for $14.4 million versus the original $4.1 million purchase price, with a portion of the $11.8 million pre-tax gain being utilized to reposition the investment portfolio.

¹ TBV and TCE are non-U.S. GAAP measures. See the reconciliation of TBV to its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure later in this release.

From Larry F. Mazza, Chief Executive Officer, MVB Financial:

“Despite a perfect storm of events for the banking industry, MVB’s first quarter results reflected our adaptability, solid foundation, the strength and stability of our balance sheet and the resilience of our diversified business model. During the first quarter, total deposits experienced robust growth, our liquidity position was further improved, recent momentum driving net interest income growth was mostly preserved, key capital ratios were increased and asset quality indicators were stable. We created value for our shareholders through our continued growth in tangible book value per share. At the same time, downward pressures on fee income and elevated provisioning related to our portfolio composition pressured our core earnings. During the quarter, we also completed the sale of our Chartwell subsidiary. This transaction is a great example of MVB’s focus on generating shareholder value while positioning Chartwell for continued growth and success. Looking ahead, MVB remains well-positioned to navigate what we expect will be continued challenging market conditions for the foreseeable future.”

FIRST QUARTER 2023 HIGHLIGHTS

• Strong deposit growth amidst industry headwinds.
  • Total deposits grew 22.6%, or $580.3 million, to $3.15 billion, primarily due to growth in certificates of deposit (“CDs”) balances and favorable seasonal considerations in MVB’s gaming and Banking-as-a-Service (“BaaS”) units.
  • Noninterest-bearing (“NIB”) deposits declined 7.9%, or $97.3 million, to $1.13 billion and represented 36% of total deposits, as compared to 48% of total deposits at the prior quarter-end.
  • Total off-balance sheet deposits totaled $1.04 billion, and included $420.4 million of NIB deposits, as compared to $724.04 million, including $271.7 million of NIB deposits, at the prior quarter-end.

• Recent net interest income growth momentum mostly preserved.
  • Net interest income (on a fully tax equivalent basis) declined 2.2%, or $0.7 million, to $33.0 million relative to the prior quarter, primarily due to a decline in net interest margin (on a fully tax equivalent basis), partially offset by growth in average earning asset balances. Relative to the prior year-ago period, net interest income (on a fully tax equivalent basis) increased 49.8%, led by a higher net interest margin (on a fully tax equivalent basis) and growth in average earning asset balances, primarily loan growth.
  • Net interest margin (on a fully tax equivalent basis) was 4.40%, down 17 basis points during Q1 2023, primarily reflecting a higher cost of funds, and a shift in the mix of earning assets as higher yielding loan balances declined, while lower yielding cash balances increased. Actions to secure increased liquidity taken in response to market events of March 2023, including borrowing on the Company’s FHLB line of credit and increases in CDs of $351.0 million, negatively impacted net interest margin by approximately 56 basis points. Borrowings on the Company’s FHLB line were made out of an abundance of caution and were repaid shortly thereafter.
  • Average earning asset balances increased 4.0% during Q1 2023, reflecting materially higher interest-bearing balances with banks, partially offset by a modest decline in average loans. Average loan balances declined 2.5%, reflecting deliberate efforts, beginning in Q4 2022 and continued through Q1 2023, to improve balance sheet liquidity and increased caution given macroeconomic conditions.

• Measures of foundational strength remained intact.
  • The Community Bank Leverage Ratio, MVB’s Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio and the Bank’s Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio were 10.0%, 13.7%, and 14.9%, respectively, improved from 9.8%, 12.4%, and 13.4%, respectively, at the prior quarter end.
  • Tangible book value per share grew 4.54% to $21.17 from $20.25 at the prior quarter end.
  • Nonperforming loans totaled $13.1 million, or 0.6% of total loans, compared to $11.2 million, or 0.5% of total loans at the prior quarter end. Criticized loans as a percentage of total loans were 3.6%, as compared to 3.0% at the prior quarter end. Net charge-offs were $1.7 million, or 0.28% of total loans on an annualized basis during Q1 2023, compared to $5.4 million.

• Previously-announced sale of Chartwell Compliance completed; investment portfolio repositioned.
  • As previously disclosed on March 1, 2023, MVB completed the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Chartwell Compliance ("Chartwell”). The sale price of $14.4 million compares to MVB’s purchase price of $4.1 million when it acquired Chartwell in September 2019. In connection with the $11.8 million pre-tax gain from the sale of Chartwell, MVB elected to sell a portion of the available-for-sale securities to reposition the investment portfolio, incurring a loss of $1.5 million, which was partially offset by a gain of $0.5 million as a result of unwinding a related hedge.

• Higher expenses, pressures on fee income and higher provision expense weigh on core earnings.
  • Noninterest expense increased 5.9%, to $28.3 million from $26.7 million, from the prior quarter, primarily reflecting increased salaries and employee benefits costs, which were driven by higher costs related to the annual incentive plan. The Company remains on track to realize previously announced cost savings associated with the expense reduction initiative announced in Q3 2022.
  • Payment card and service charge income increased $1.9 million from the prior quarter, somewhat offsetting a $3.1 million decline in gains related to the partial sale of one of the Company’s Fintech investments in the fourth quarter of 2022.
  • The provision for credit losses totaled $4.6 million compared to $2.7 million for the prior quarter. The allowance for credit losses was 1.5% of total loans as of quarter-end, an increase of 50 basis points from the prior quarter-end, reflecting changes in loan portfolio composition and the implementation of the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) allowance methodology as of January 1, 2023. Of note, the allowance attributable to MVB’s consumer automobile portfolio represented 55 basis points of the total allowance for credit losses of 1.5% at March 31, 2023, and 21 basis points of the total allowance for credit losses of 1.0% at December 31, 2022.

INCOME STATEMENT

Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis totaled $33.0 million for Q1 2023, down $0.7 million, or 2.2%, from Q4 2022 and up $10.9 million, or 49.4%, from Q1 2022. The decline in net interest income compared to Q4 2022 reflects net interest margin contraction, while earning assets and cash increased and average loans decreased. The increase compared to Q1 2022 generally reflects strong loan growth at favorable interest rates, primarily driven by the Company’s strategic lending partnerships growth vehicle and broad-based growth throughout CoRe Banking business, as well as the effects of higher interest rates on earning assets, including investment securities and interest-bearing deposits with other banks.

Interest income increased $4.1 million, or 10.0%, from Q4 2022 and increased $21.5 million, or 92.4%, from Q1 2022. The tax-equivalent yield on loans was 6.59% for Q1 2023, compared to 6.10% for Q4 2022 and 4.71% for Q1 2022. Higher loan yields generally reflect the cumulative impact of robust loan growth booked at higher yields than the prevailing portfolio yield in recent prior quarters and the beneficial impact of Fed rate increases.

Interest expense increased $4.8 million, or 65.9%, from Q4 2022 and increased $10.6 million, or 751.1%, from Q1 2022. The cost of funds was 161 basis points for Q1 2023, up 61 basis point compared to Q4 2022 and up 140 basis points compared to Q1 2022. The increase from the prior quarter primarily reflected the impact of liquidity actions taken in March 2023 in response to market conditions and the impact of higher interest rates. These liquidity actions had a 42 basis point impact on the cost of funds for Q1 2023. The increase in cost of funds compared to the prior year period also reflected higher interest rates, increased FHLB borrowings and the senior term loan, which was entered into during October 2022.

On a tax-equivalent basis, net interest margin for Q1 2023 was 4.40%, a decrease of 17 basis points versus Q4 2022 and an increase of 122 basis points versus Q1 2022. Please see the table below for a reconciliation between net interest margin and net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP measure. The decrease in net interest margin from Q4 2022 primarily reflected an increase in cost of funds and a shift in the mix of earning assets (higher yielding loan balances declined while lower yielding cash balances increased), partially offset by higher loan yields. The increase in net interest margin from Q1 2022 reflected strong loan growth and the impact of higher loan yields due to interest rate increases, partially offset by an increase in cost of funds.

Noninterest income from continuing operations totaled $3.1 million for Q1 2023, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 10.7% from Q4 2022 and a decrease of $6.2 million, or 67.0%, from Q1 2022. The decline compared to the prior quarter is primarily driven by a $3.6 million decrease in gain on sale of assets and a $1.5 million loss on sale of available-for-sale investment securities, partially offset by increases in payment card and service charge income of $1.9 million, gain on sale of loans of $1.8 million, and holding gain on equity securities of $1.1 million. The decrease in gain on sale of assets was due to $2.0 million gain recognized in the prior quarter due to the partial sale of one of the Company’s Fintech investments in fourth quarter 2022. In connection with the gain from the sale of Chartwell, management elected to sell a portion of the available-for-sale securities to reposition the investment portfolio. In connection with the sale, MVB incurred losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities of $1.5 million. A portion of the securities sold had an offset hedge, which was also sold for a gain of $0.5 million and was recorded in interest income. The $6.2 million decrease in noninterest income from Q1 2022 was primarily driven by decreases of $2.3 million in equity method investment income, $2.2 million in gain on sale of available-for-sale investment securities and $1.8 million in equity method holding gains.

In February 2023, the Company completed the sale of the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, Chartwell Compliance, for total consideration of $14.4 million. The results of Chartwell operations are included in discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of income. Net income from discontinued operations totaled $8.8 million for Q1 2023, which included a gain on sale of $11.8 million. Net loss from discontinued operations was $0.7 million and $0.8 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively.

Noninterest expense totaled $28.3 million for Q1 2023, an increase of $1.6 million, or 5.9%, from Q4 2022 and an increase of $1.1 million, or 3.9%, from Q1 2022. The increases from the quarters ended December 31, 2022, and March 31, 2022 primarily reflect higher salaries and employee benefits costs of $2.4 million, or 17.0% and $1.0 million, or 6.5%, respectively. The increases from the prior periods reflect costs associated with the annual incentive plan. Higher expenses relative to Q4 2022 also reflect severance-related costs associated with the sale of Chartwell.

BALANCE SHEET

Loans totaled $2.36 billion at March 31, 2023, a decrease of $11.5 million, or 0.5%, and an increase of $463.3 million, or 24.4%, as compared to December 31, 2022, and March 31, 2022, respectively. The decrease in loan balances compared to the prior quarter primarily reflects efforts to improve balance sheet liquidity and overall balance sheet management as the Company contemplates future market uncertainty. Loan growth compared to the year-ago period was driven primarily by the Company’s strategic lending partnerships growth vehicle. Loans held-for-sale were $19.9 million as of March 31, 2023, compared to $23.1 million at December 31, 2022, and $9.2 million at March 31, 2022, led by MVB Bank’s government guaranteed lending growth vehicle.

Deposits totaled $3.15 billion as of March 31, 2023, an increase of $580.3 million, or 22.6%, from December 31, 2022, and $641.7 million, or 25.6%, from March 31, 2022. NIB deposits totaled $1.13 billion as of March 31, 2023, a decrease of $97.3 million, or 7.9%, from December 31, 2022, and $174.7 million, or 13.3%, from March 31, 2022. The decrease in NIB deposits is primarily due to the Company’s utilization of off-balance sheet deposit networks to generate fee income, enhance capital and manage liquidity and concentration risk. Growth in total deposits compared to December 31, 2022, primarily reflects an increase in CDs and BaaS accounts, while the growth in deposits compared to March 31, 2022 primarily reflects an increase in CDs.

CAPITAL

The Community Bank Leverage Ratio was 10.0% as of March 31, 2023, compared to 9.8% as of December 31, 2022 and 10.8% as of March 31, 2022.

The Company issued a quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share for Q1 2023, consistent with Q4 2022 and Q1 2022.

ASSET QUALITY

Nonperforming loans totaled $13.1 million, or 0.6% of total loans, as of March 31, 2023, as compared to $11.2 million, or 0.5% of total loans, as of December 31, 2022, and $18.0 million, or 1.0% of total loans, as of March 31, 2022. Criticized loans as a percentage of total loans were 3.6%, as compared to 3.0% as of December 31, 2022, and 5.2% as of March 31, 2022.

Net charge-offs were $1.7 million for Q1 2023, compared to $5.4 million for the prior quarter. Net charge-offs for Q1 2022 were $0.7 million, or 0.16% of total loans.

Changes to the outstanding balances of the loan portfolios and the implementation of the allowance methodology as of January 1, 2023, contributed to the increase in the allowance for credit losses. Adoption of the CECL allowance methodology resulted in a $10.0 million increase in the allowance for credit losses, comprised of increases in the allowance for credit losses for loans of $8.9 million and the allowance for credit losses for unfunded commitments of $1.1 million, with $1.2 million of the increase reclassified from the amortized cost basis of purchase credit deteriorated financial assets. This increase was offset by a $2.1 million tax effect, resulting in a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings of $6.6 million.

The provision for credit losses totaled $4.6 million for Q1 2023, compared to $2.7 million for Q4 2022, and $1.3 million for Q1 2022. Allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.50% as of March 31, 2023, as compared to 1.00% as of December 31, 2022, and 0.99% as of March 31, 2022. The largest portion of the allowance for credit losses is attributable to the consumer automobile portfolio, which accounts for 0.55% of the total allowance of 1.50% as of March 31, 2023.

1 Non-accrual loans are included in total loan balances, lowering the effective yield for the portfolio in the aggregate.
2 In order to make pre-tax income and resultant yields on tax-exempt loans and investment securities comparable to those on taxable loans and investment securities, a tax-equivalent adjustment has been computed using a Federal tax rate of 21% for the periods presented, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. See the reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure following this table.
3 MVB Bank’s PPP loans totaling $4.9 million, $13.6 million and $41.7 million are included in this amount as of March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively.
