Red River Bancshares, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

ALEXANDRIA, La., April 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Red River Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: RRBI), the holding company for Red River Bank (the “Bank”), announced today its unaudited financial results for the first quarter of 2023.

Net income for the first quarter of 2023 was $9.6 million, or $1.33 per diluted common share (“EPS”), a decrease of $593,000, or 5.8%, compared to $10.2 million, or $1.42 EPS, for the fourth quarter of 2022. For the first quarter of 2023, the quarterly return on assets was 1.28%, and the quarterly return on equity was 14.33%.

Note from Blake Chatelain, President and Chief Executive Officer

“The first quarter of 2023 was one of steady, consistent performance by our Company. I am pleased to report that the first quarter financial results included higher capital ratios, a solid liquidity position with no borrowings, and good profitability. As expected with the changing interest rate environment, we had some changes to our deposit portfolio, higher deposit costs, and net interest margin compression. Overall, we are pleased with the first quarter of 2023 financial results.

“The failure of several banks and the uncertainty in the banking industry dominated the news during the first quarter. In response to that situation, we promptly provided details about the unique nature of those banks to our employees and customers, answered our customers’ banking questions, and engaged with our communities. Situations like this remind us of the importance of maintaining capital and liquidity levels, having diversification in customer portfolios, and the benefits of providing consistent, disciplined banking services during good and bad times. Since we opened, we have maintained prudent, steady underwriting standards and granular, diversified loan and deposit portfolios.

“Most financial companies have been impacted by the low interest rate environment in effect since 2008 and most recently, the rapid increase in interest rates. Over the past 12 months, many banks, including Red River Bank, have been working through resetting loan and deposit rates, along with customers updating and changing their banking accounts and activity.

“Just as diversification is important within a bank, I believe that a strong, diversified banking system is crucial to the United States economy. Elected officials and banking regulators should take actions that allow community banks to continue to grow and thrive in order to provide local, personal banking services in their communities.

“We believe that we are well positioned for the future. The Company is well capitalized, has diversified customer portfolios, good liquidity, no borrowings, excellent asset quality, and solid earnings. While we understand that there are possible economic challenges ahead with the inflationary environment and possible economic slowdowns, we are confident in our ability to navigate through these challenging times.”

First Quarter 2023 Performance and Operational Highlights

In the first quarter of 2023, the Company had slightly lower deposits and assets, consistent loans, and reduced earnings. Due to the changing interest rate environment and uncertainty in the banking industry, we monitored our liquidity position and deposit activity very closely. We increased our quarterly dividend to $0.08 per common share and implemented the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. The financial results for the first quarter of 2023 were a result of the conservative and stable culture that we have maintained at our Company.

• As of March 31, 2023, assets were $3.03 billion, a decrease of $52.1 million, or 1.7%, from December 31, 2022. The decrease in assets was mainly due to a $67.6 million decrease in deposits.
• Deposits totaled $2.73 billion as of March 31, 2023, a decrease of $67.6 million, or 2.4%, compared to $2.80 billion as of December 31, 2022. During the first quarter of 2023, in addition to a slight decrease in total deposits, there was also a shift of balances between deposit categories. These changes were a result of the changing interest rate environment impacting customer deposit activity combined with the normal seasonal drawdowns by public entity customers.
• As of March 31, 2023, loans held for investment (“HFI”) were $1.92 billion, consistent with December 31, 2022.
• As of March 31, 2023, total securities were $765.2 million compared to $776.1 million as of December 31, 2022. Securities decreased $10.8 million primarily due to the sale of a portion of a Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) mutual fund and principal repayments.
• In the first quarter of 2023, the Company maintained an average of $241.7 million of liquid funds and had various borrowing alternatives, but no borrowings. Also, effective March 12, 2023, Red River Bank could participate in the Federal Reserve Board’s Bank Term Funding Program (“BTFP”), a new liquidity source.
• Net income for the first quarter of 2023 was $9.6 million, which was $593,000, or 5.8%, lower than the prior quarter mainly due to lower net interest income. Net income benefited from having no provision for credit losses expense under the new CECL methodology.
• Net interest income and net interest margin fully tax equivalent (“FTE”) decreased in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the prior quarter. Net interest income for the first quarter of 2023 was $22.9 million compared to $23.7 million for the prior quarter. Net interest margin FTE was 3.13% for the first quarter of 2023 compared to 3.17% for the prior quarter. These decreases were mainly due to the higher interest rate environment resulting in intensified deposit rate pressure and higher deposit costs.
• CECL became effective for Red River Bank on January 1, 2023. The adoption of CECL resulted in a $720,000 adjustment to the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) and reserve for unfunded commitments. This adjustment was 3.5% of the December 31, 2022 allowance for loan losses (“ALL”). No provision expense was recorded in the first quarter of 2023.
• As of March 31, 2023, nonperforming assets (“NPA(s)”) were $2.4 million, or 0.08% of assets, and the ACL was $20.9 million, or 1.09% of loans HFI.
• We paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per common share in the first quarter of 2023.
• The 2023 stock repurchase program authorizes us to purchase up to $5.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. In the first quarter of 2023, we repurchased 6,795 shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $346,000.
• In our Southwest market, we closed one of our banking centers in the first quarter of 2023 and relocated the staff and services to an existing, recently expanded banking center.

Liquidity

As of March 31, 2023, we had sufficient liquid assets available, $1.35 billion in available borrowing capacity, and no outstanding borrowings under any available sources.

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, which were $229.2 million as of March 31, 2023, and averaged $241.7 million for the first quarter of 2023.

Our securities available for sale (“AFS”) portfolio is an alternative source for meeting liquidity needs. Securities AFS generate cash flow through principal repayments, calls, and maturities, and can be sold or used as collateral in borrowings. As of March 31, 2023, securities AFS totaled $611.8 million. We project receipt of approximately $100.0 million of principal repayments through December 31, 2023. Certain investments within our securities AFS portfolio are also used to secure public entity deposits, which impacts their liquidity. As of March 31, 2023, $189.0 million, or 30.9% of the securities AFS portfolio, were pledged to secure public entity deposits.

In addition, Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (“FHLB”) advances may be used to meet the Bank’s liquidity needs. We currently are classified as having “blanket lien collateral status”, which means that advances can be executed at any time without further collateral requirements. As of March 31, 2023, our borrowing capacity from the FHLB was $876.0 million, net of $15.9 million of letters of credit from the FHLB used as collateral for our public entity deposits. If utilized, a one year advance from the FHLB would carry an interest rate of 5.19% as of April 20, 2023.

Other sources available for meeting liquidity needs include federal funds lines, repurchase agreements, and other lines of credit. We maintain four federal funds lines of credit with commercial banks, which allow us to borrow up to $95.0 million in federal funds at a rate determined by the applicable commercial bank at the time of borrowing. We also maintain an additional $6.0 million revolving line of credit at one of our correspondent banks. As of March 31, 2023, we had total borrowing capacity of $101.0 million through these combined funding sources.

If needed, the BTFP is available to us, which gives us the option to use eligible securities as collateral for a loan of up to one year from the Federal Reserve. As of March 31, 2023, our eligible securities totaled approximately $377.0 million. If utilized, a BTFP loan would have an interest rate of 5.01% as of April 20, 2023.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin FTE

Net interest income and net interest margin FTE for the first quarter of 2023 were negatively impacted by intensified deposit rate pressures in the banking industry. The Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) increased the target federal funds rate by 25 basis points (“bp(s)”) in February 2023 and again in March 2023. These increases were in addition to the 425 bp increases in 2022.

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2023 was $22.9 million, which was $765,000, or 3.2%, lower than the fourth quarter of 2022, due to a $1.5 million increase in interest expense, partially offset by a $750,000 increase in interest and dividend income. The increase in interest expense was due to increased deposit rates combined with larger balances in higher cost deposit accounts. In responding to deposit rate competition, we increased the rates on time deposits and money market accounts. The cost of deposits increased 24 bps to 0.71% for the first quarter of 2023 from 0.47% for the prior quarter. The increase in interest and dividend income was primarily due to increases in income on loans and short-term liquid assets. Loan income increased $480,000 due to higher rates on new, renewed, and floating rate loans. The rate on these loans was 6.68% for the first quarter of 2023 compared to 6.25% for the prior quarter. Income on short-term liquid assets increased $217,000 due to the FOMC’s increases to the target federal funds rate.

The net interest margin FTE decreased four bps to 3.13% for the first quarter of 2023, compared to 3.17% for the prior quarter. This decrease was driven primarily by higher deposit rates as a result of the deposit rate pressures. As we increased rates on several of our deposit products, there was a change to the deposit mix due to customers moving deposits from lower yielding accounts to higher yielding accounts. This increased the total cost of deposits by 24 bps, while the rate on time deposits and interest-bearing transaction deposits increased 60 bps and 28 bps, respectively. The higher cost of deposits was partially offset by a 16 bp increase in the yield on loans and an 83 bp increase in the yield on short-term liquid assets, which were driven by the higher interest rate environment.

The current expectation is that the FOMC will continue to raise the target federal funds rate in the second quarter of 2023, and then leave it consistent through December 2023. Our balance sheet is asset sensitive, and interest income on earning assets generally improves in a higher interest rate environment. However, we are experiencing additional pressure on deposit interest rates due to the higher interest rate environment and competition for deposits. As of March 31, 2023, floating rate loans were 13.4% of loans HFI, and floating rate transaction deposits were 4.4% of interest-bearing transaction deposits. Depending on balance sheet activity, deposit rate pressure, and shift of the deposit mix, we expect the net interest margin FTE and net interest income to continue to compress.

Provision for Credit Losses

No provision expense was recorded in the first quarter of 2023. The fourth quarter of 2022 provision for loan losses was $750,000 due to potential economic challenges resulting from the current inflationary environment, changing monetary policy, and loan growth. We will continue to evaluate future provision needs in relation to current economic situations, loan growth, trends in asset quality, forecasted information, and other conditions influencing loss expectations.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income totaled $4.3 million for the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of $279,000, or 6.0%, compared to $4.6 million for the previous quarter. The decrease was mainly due to lower brokerage and mortgage income.

Brokerage income for the first quarter of 2023 was $807,000, a decrease of $206,000, or 20.3%, compared to $1.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The income in the fourth quarter of 2022 benefited from funds invested by new clients during that period. Assets under management were $965.2 million as of March 31, 2023.

Mortgage loan income for the first quarter of 2023 was $275,000, a decrease of $178,000, or 39.3%, compared to $453,000 for the fourth quarter of 2022. This decrease was primarily driven by reduced purchase activity due to higher mortgage interest rates.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2023 totaled $15.5 million, an increase of $406,000, or 2.7%, compared to $15.1 million for the previous quarter. This increase was mainly due to higher personnel expenses, regulatory assessment expenses, and occupancy and equipment expenses, partially offset by lower data processing expense and other business development expenses.

Personnel expenses totaled $9.0 million for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $319,000, or 3.7%, from the previous quarter. This increase was due to higher personnel health insurance expenses. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had 352 and 351 total employees, respectively.

Regulatory assessment expenses totaled $406,000 for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $129,000, or 46.6%, from the previous quarter. This increase was due to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) raising the deposit insurance assessment rate two bps, effective January 1, 2023, for all insured depository institutions.

Occupancy and equipment expenses totaled $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $104,000, or 6.4%, from the previous quarter. This increase was due to $161,000 of nonrecurring expenses related to opening our new operations center building.

Data processing expense totaled $400,000 for the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of $209,000, or 34.3%, from the previous quarter. This decrease was primarily attributable to receipt of a $252,000 periodic refund from our data processing center in the first quarter of 2023.

Other business development expenses totaled $436,000 for the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of $130,000, or 23.0%, from the previous quarter. This decrease was primarily due to the timing of CRA related contributions.

Asset Overview

As of March 31, 2023, assets were $3.03 billion, which was $52.1 million, or 1.7%, lower than $3.08 billion as of December 31, 2022. This decrease was primarily due to a $67.6 million decrease in deposits in the first quarter. During the first quarter of 2023, interest-bearing deposits in other banks decreased $45.8 million, or 19.1%, to $194.7 million and were 6.4% of assets as of March 31, 2023.

Health care loans are our largest industry concentration and are made up of a diversified portfolio of health care providers. As of March 31, 2023, total health care loans were 8.4% of loans HFI. Within the health care sector, loans to nursing and residential care facilities were 4.2% of loans HFI, and loans to physician and dental practices were 4.1% of loans HFI.

As of March 31, 2023, 1.4% of our loans HFI were LIBOR-based with a setting that expires June 30, 2023. Alternative rate language is present in each credit agreement with a LIBOR-based rate. We do not anticipate any issues with transitioning each loan to a non-LIBOR-based rate.

Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses

NPAs totaled $2.4 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The ratio of NPAs to assets was 0.08% as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the CECL methodology for estimating credit losses. This resulted in a $278,000 increase to the ACL and established a $442,000 reserve for unfunded commitments, yielding a combined 3.5% increase to the December 31, 2022 allowance for loan losses. This one-time cumulative adjustment resulted in a $569,000, net of tax, decrease to stockholders’ equity.

Deposits decreased in the first quarter of 2023 as a result of the changing interest rate environment impacting customer deposit movement and activity, combined with normal seasonal drawdowns by public entity customers. Also during the first quarter of 2023, there was a deposit mix shift between deposit categories as customers moved funds from lower yielding categories to higher yielding categories.

Red River Bank has a granular, diverse deposit portfolio with customers in a variety of industries throughout Louisiana. As of March 31, 2023, the average deposit account size was approximately $29,000.

In 2022, we implemented the IntraFi Network Insured Cash Sweep (“ICS”) and related reciprocal balance programs for qualified commercial customers. The ICS program provides our customers a demand deposit sweep account that has a competitive interest rate as well as full FDIC insurance coverage. As of March 31, 2023, we had $96.9 million swept off our balance sheet. The related reciprocal program brings deposit balances back on to our balance sheet as interest-bearing demand deposit accounts. As of March 31, 2023, we had $97.2 million of interest-bearing demand deposit accounts.

As of March 31, 2023, our estimated uninsured deposits, which are the portion of deposit accounts that exceed the FDIC insurance limit (currently $250,000), were approximately $871.6 million, or 31.9% of total deposits. This amount was estimated based on the same methodologies and assumptions used for regulatory reporting purposes. Also, as of March 31, 2023, our estimated uninsured deposits, excluding collateralized public deposits, were approximately $698.0 million, or 25.6% of total deposits. Our cash and cash equivalents of $229.2 million combined with our available borrowing capacity of $1.35 billion equaled 181.6% of our estimated uninsured deposits and 226.8% of our estimated uninsured deposits, excluding collateralized public deposits.

Stockholders’ Equity

Total stockholders’ equity as of March 31, 2023, was $276.6 million compared to $265.8 million as of December 31, 2022. The $10.9 million, or 4.1%, increase in stockholders’ equity was attributed to $9.6 million of net income for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a $2.6 million, net of tax, decrease to accumulated other comprehensive loss related to securities, and $153,000 of stock compensation, partially offset by $574,000 in cash dividends, a $569,000, net of tax, adjustment to retained earnings due to the adoption of CECL, and the repurchase of 6,795 shares of common stock for $346,000. We paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share on March 23, 2023.

Non-GAAP Disclosure

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. Certain financial measures used by management to evaluate our operating performance are discussed as supplemental non-GAAP performance measures. In accordance with the SEC’s rules, we classify a financial measure as being a non-GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time in the U.S.

Management and the board of directors review tangible book value per share, tangible common equity to tangible assets, and realized book value per share as part of managing operating performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate the non-GAAP financial measures that are discussed may differ from that of other companies’ reporting measures with similar names. It is important to understand how such other banking organizations calculate and name their financial measures similar to the non-GAAP financial measures discussed by us when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included within the following financial statement tables.
