Earnings Release – Redwood Capital Bancorp – Second Quarter, 2024

Strong Balance Sheet – Continued Dividend

EUREKA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- On July 31, 2024, REDWOOD CAPITAL BANCORP (OTCQX:RWCB), the only locally owned and operated community bank holding company in Humboldt County, announced unaudited financial results for the three month period ended June 30, 2024. Redwood Capital Bank, the company’s wholly owned subsidiary, reported slight decreases for the second quarter earnings.

John Dalby, President and CEO, remarked, “In the second quarter of 2024, the company continued to maintain its strong balance sheet and loan quality, combined with healthy capital and liquidity positions. Earnings per share for the quarter was $0.68 and $1.38 year-to-date. Staff engagement and focus continues to carry the institution’s strong customer service ethic. I remain very proud to serve with the Redwood Capital Bank Board of Directors and staff, as they serve and support the Humboldt County community.”

The company strategically manages a slimmer balance sheet to enhance performance while transitioning in the increased rate environment. As of June 30, 2024, the company’s total assets were $520 million. Total loans net of unearned income was $383 million as of June 30, 2024. Total deposits were $461 million as of June 30, 2024.

The continued high performing balance sheet produced net interest income of $4.3 million for the second quarter ending June 30, 2024, and $9 million year-to-date. The company recorded a net income after taxes for the second quarter ending June 30, 2024, of $1.3 million and $2.7 million year-to-date. These strong earnings have increased book value per share by 2% or $0.42 to $24.41 for the second quarter ending June 30, 2024, and an increase to book value of $0.84 year-to-date. Renee Byers, SVP/Chief Financial Officer, stated, “Redwood Capital Bank continues to maintain a strong balance sheet while providing excellent service to our shareholders, customers and community.”

Additionally, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share, payable on August 9, 2024, to shareholders of record at the close of business on July 29, 2024. The dividend is equivalent to an annual rate of $0.32 per share.
