Q2 2022 Compared to Q2 2021

  • Excluding PPP loans, total loans increased to $570.0 million as of June 30, 2022, compared to $478.6 million as of June 30, 2021, a 19.1% increase. An increase in the commercial business line with net growth of $73.2 million or 23.8%, and mortgage portfolio loans with a net increase of $18.3 million drove the overall loan portfolio increase.
  • Deposit accounts increased to $662.9 million as of June 30, 2022, increasing $65.3 million or 10.9% over June 30, 2021. Noninterest-bearing deposits grew $25.2 million since June 30, 2021, or 19.0% while interest bearing deposits were up $40.1 million or 8.6% over June 30, 2021.
  • The Tier 1 leverage capital ratio for BCT was 10.18% as of June 30, 2022, compared to 10.20% as of June 30, 2021. The tangible equity / tangible assets ratio for the Company was 7.80% as of June 30, 2022, and 8.47% as of June 30, 2021.
  • Net interest margin was 3.33% for the three months ending June 30, 2022, compared to 3.12% for the three months ending June 30, 2021. Excluding PPP income net interest margin was 3.19% for the three months ending June 30, 2022, compared to 3.05% for the three months ending June 30, 2021.
    • Excluding PPP income, net interest income increased $987 thousand to $5.5 million for the three months ending June 30, 2022, compared to $4.6 million for the three months ending June 30, 2021.
    • Total PPP interest and fees recorded in the quarter ending June 30, 2022, were $295 thousand compared to $492 thousand in the quarter ending June 30, 2021.
  • A loan loss provision of $242 thousand was recorded in the quarter ending June 30, 2022, driven by the growth in the loan portfolio. There was no loan loss provision recorded in the quarter ending June 30, 2021.
  • Non-interest income for the quarter ending June 30, 2022, decreased $183 thousand or 10.9% over the quarter ending June 30, 2021. See Table 2 for additional details. 
    • Increases in Trust and financial services, service charges on deposit accounts, interchange fees, and other operating income were offset by a 73% reduction in secondary market income. Trust and financial services increased 13.8% due to continued growth in new investment management relationships. Other operating income was up $61 thousand primarily from an increase in bank owned life insurance income (BOLI) from additional purchases in Q3 2021, and an increase in pre-payment penalties from early payoffs on loans.
    • The decrease in secondary market income was partly mitigated by our increased portfolio lending with 82% of total mortgage originations in Q2 2022 going to portfolio compared to 29% in Q2 2021. In 2021, with extremely low interest rates we directed more mortgages to the secondary market taking the fee income as opposed to holding a low-rate loan. While total mortgage originations for the 6 months ending June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021 are down only 18.1%, we opted in 2022 to retain a greater portion of mortgage loans in our portfolio to deploy the excess liquidity into higher yields.
  • Non-interest expense increased to $5.0 million for the quarter ending June 30, 2022, an increase of $550 thousand or 12.2% above the quarter ending June 30, 2021. Year over year increase in salaries and benefits are the primary driver of this increase. Continued investments in growth include the hiring of our SBA team in May 2021, additional commercial bankers in Northern Virginia in 2022, and raising the minimum hourly wage in late fourth quarter of 2021 in response to the competitive workforce environment all contributed to the increase. See Table 2 for additional details.
  • The allowance for loan losses was 1.01% of total loans outstanding as of June 30, 2022, and 1.05% as of June 30, 2021. Excluding PPP loans, the allowance for loan losses was 1.02% as of June 30, 2022, compared to 1.13% as of June 30, 2021. Management considers the current balance of the allowance for loan losses adequate for the inherent risks and uncertainties associated with the current environment.
  • Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets including OREO was 0.01% as of June 30, 2022, compared to 0.02% as of June 30, 2021.
  • Net loan recoveries for Q2 2022 were 0.033% compared to net loan recoveries in the same period in 2021 of 0.015%.

Linked Quarter Q2 2022 Compared to Q1 2022 

  • Total assets increased $20.2 million to $739.4 million as of June 30, 2022, compared to March 31, 2022, or 11.2% annualized growth.
  • Excluding PPP loans, loans increased $54.7 million in the quarter ending June 30, 2022, or a 10.6% increase since March 31, 2022. Commercial loans increased $33.1 million, or 9.5% and portfolio mortgage loans increased $22.0 million, or 15.5%.
  • Deposits increased $27.3 million in the quarter ending June 30, 2022, or a 4.3% increase since March 31, 2022. Noninterest bearing deposits increased $8.3 million, or 5.5% in the quarter ending June 30, 2022, and interest-bearing deposits grew $19.0 million, or 3.9% in the quarter ending June 30, 2022.
  • The Tier 1 leverage capital ratio for BCT was 10.18% as of June 30, 2022, compared to 10.24% as of March 31, 2022. Both are above the regulatory minimum for a well-capitalized bank. Tangible equity/ tangible assets ratio (non-regulatory measure) for the Company was 7.80% as of June 30, 2022, and 8.24% as of March 31, 2022. The total capital of $57.686 million as of June 30, 2022, reflects a decrease of $1.563 million from $59.249 million as of March 31, 2022. The decrease in total capital during the second quarter of 2022 is primarily due to a $2.795 million decrease in other comprehensive income due to changes in fair value of available-for-sale investment securities, dividends paid of $373 thousand, and offset by net income of $1.605 million for the quarter.
  • Net interest margin for the quarter was up 29 bps to 3.33% from 3.04% for the quarter ending March 31, 2022. PPP interest and fee income positively impacted both quarters. Excluding the impact from PPP in the second quarter 2022 and first quarter 2022, the net interest margin was 3.19% compared to 2.93%, respectively.
    • Excluding PPP income, net interest income increased $648 thousand to $5.5 million for the quarter, compared to $4.9 million for the quarter ending March 31, 2022.
    • Total PPP interest and fees recorded in the quarter ending June 30, 2022, were $295 thousand compared to $276 thousand in the quarter ending March 31, 2022.
  • A loan loss provision of $242 thousand was recorded in the quarter ending June 30, 2022, driven by the growth in the portfolio. There was no loan loss provision recorded in the quarter ending March 31, 2022. 
  • Non-interest income was down $181 thousand to $5.0 million for the quarter ending June 30, 2022, or 10.8% compared to the quarter ending March 31, 2022. See Table 2 for additional details.
    • Increases in interchange fees, and service charges on deposits were offset by decreases in trust and financial services, secondary market income, and other operating income. Other operating income was down primarily from Visa incentives in the first quarter partly offset by an increase in pre-payment penalties from early payoff on loans. Secondary market income was down as more mortgage loans, 82% of originations in Q2 2022 were directed to the portfolio compared to 50% in Q1 2022.
  • Non-interest expense for the quarter was $5.0 million, an increase of $340 thousand compared to the three months ending March 31, 2022. Increases in salaries and benefits, and other operating expenses primarily drove the increase. Incentive expenses increased as certain business units had higher production in Q2 2022. Other operating expenses were up across several categories. Included are $59 thousand of nonrecurring expenses. See Table 2 for additional details.
  • The allowance for loan losses was 1.01% of total loans outstanding as of June 30, 2022, and 1.05% as of March 31, 2022. Excluding PPP loans, the allowance to loans was 1.02% as of June 30, 2022, and 1.07% as of March 31, 2022.
  • Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets including OREO was 0.01% as of June 30, 2022, and March 31, 2022.
  • Net loan recoveries in the quarter ending June 30, 2022, were 0.033% compared to 0.002% in the quarter ending March 31, 2022.

Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Update

  • BCT participated in Round 1 and Round 2 of the PPP loan programs and, as of June 30, 2022, outstanding balances net of fees were $2.2 million. Remaining net fees to be recognized totals $134 thousand.
