WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Bancorp, Inc. ("The Bancorp") (NASDAQ: TBBK), a financial holding company, today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2022.

Highlights

• For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, The Bancorp earned net income of $29.0 million, or $0.50 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $26.0 million, or $0.44 diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

• Return on assets and equity for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 amounted to 1.7% and 18%, respectively, compared to 1.6% and 18%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 (all percentages “annualized”).

• Net interest margin amounted to 3.12% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to 3.34% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

• Net interest income was $52.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to $53.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. In the first quarter of 2022, growth in net interest income was significantly offset by a $3.4 million reduction in Payroll Protection Program (“PPP”) related interest and fees.

• Excluding commercial loans, at fair value, which were originally generated for sale, total loans increased to $4.16 billion at March 31, 2022, compared to $3.75 billion at December 31, 2021 and $2.83 billion at March 31, 2021.  Those increases reflected growth of 10% quarter over quarter and 45% year over year. Those percentage increases exclude the impact of $56.1 million of discontinued loans previously included in discontinued assets which were reclassified to loans in the first quarter of 2022.

• Gross dollar volume (“GDV”), representing the total amounts spent on prepaid and debit cards, increased $469.7 million, or 2%, to $28.56 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021, which included the impact of COVID-19 related stimulus payments.

• SBLOC (securities backed lines of credit), IBLOC (insurance backed lines of credit) and investment advisor financing loans collectively increased 32% year over year and 8% quarter over quarter to $2.21 billion at March 31, 2022.

• Small Business Loans, including those held at fair value, grew 2% year over year to $705.2 million at March 31, 2022. That growth is exclusive of PPP loan balances of $23.7 million and $190.3 million, respectively, at March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021.

• Direct lease financing balances increased 11% year over year to $538.6 million at March 31, 2022.

• We resumed non-SBA commercial real estate bridge lending in the third quarter of 2021. At March 31, 2022 the balance of such real estate bridge loans was $803.5 million compared to $621.7 million at December 31, 2021, reflecting quarter over quarter growth of 29%.

• The average interest rate on $6.22 billion of average deposits and interest-bearing liabilities during the first quarter of 2022 was 0.19%. Average deposits of $6.11 billion for first quarter 2022, reflected an increase of 3% from the $5.91 billion of average deposits for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, which included the impact of COVID-19 related stimulus payments.

• As of March 31, 2022, tier one capital to assets (leverage), tier one capital to risk-weighted assets, total capital to risk-weighted assets and common equity-tier 1 to risk-weighted assets ratios were 9.47%, 14.15%, 14.56% and 14.15%, respectively, compared to well-capitalized minimums of 5%, 8%, 10% and 6.5%, respectively. The Bancorp and The Bank each remain well capitalized under banking regulations.

• Book value per common share at March 31, 2022 was $11.41 per share compared to $10.42 per share at March 31, 2021, an increase of 10%, primarily as a result of retained earnings.

• The Bancorp repurchased 527,393 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $28.44 per share during the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

“We got off to a great start in 2022,” said The Bancorp CEO and President Damian Kozlowski. “Our first quarter highlighted the continued progress we are making in building our Fintech franchise as we were able to show gains in GDV even with significant headwinds due to government stimulus in 2021. Additionally, we reaffirm our 2022 guidance of $2.15 per share, which excludes the net impact of planned stock repurchases.”

The Bancorp reported net income of $29.0 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to net income of $26.0 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Note: Previous balance sheets included assets held-for-sale from discontinued operations, which were reclassified to continuing operations in the first quarter of 2022. Previous balance sheets also included investment in unconsolidated entity, which reflected Bancorp’s balance of the Walnut Street investment. Walnut Street was comprised of Bancorp loans sold to that entity, which was partially financed by an independent investor. In the third quarter of 2021, The Bancorp and that investor dissolved the entity, as the remaining balance did not warrant ongoing administrative and accounting expenses. As a result of the dissolution, the investment in unconsolidated entity, which had a June 30, 2021 balance of $25.0 million, was reclassified as follows: approximately $22.9 million of loans were reclassified to commercial loans, at fair value and $2.1 million was reclassified to other real estate owned, as those assets continue to be reported at fair value.

A reduction in SBL non-real estate from $147.7 million to $122.4 million in the first quarter of 2022 resulted from U.S. government repayments of $21.1 million of PPP loans authorized by The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021. PPP loans totaled $23.7 million at March 31, 2022 and $190.3 million at March 31, 2021, respectively.

Small business loans as of March 31, 2022
		Loan principal
		(in millions)
U.S. government guaranteed portion of SBA loans (a)		$	369
Paycheck Protection Program loans (PPP) (a)			24
Commercial mortgage SBA (b)			191
Construction SBA (c)			19
Non-guaranteed portion of U.S. government guaranteed loans (d)			100
Non-SBA small business loans (e)			17
Total principal		$	720
Unamortized fees and costs			9
Total small business loans		$	729

(a) This is the portion of SBA 7a loans (7a) and PPP loans which have been guaranteed by the U.S. government, and therefore are assumed to have no credit risk.

(b) Substantially all these loans are made under the SBA 504 Fixed Asset Financing program (504) which dictates origination date loan-to-value percentages (“LTV”), generally 50-60%, to which the Bank adheres.

(c) Of the $19 million in Construction SBA loans, $16 million are 504 first mortgages with an origination date LTV of 50-60% and $3 million are SBA interim loans with an approved SBA post-construction full takeout/payoff.

(d) The $100 million represents the unguaranteed portion of 7a loans which are 70% or more guaranteed by the U.S. government. 7a loans are not made on the basis of real estate LTV; however, they are subject to SBA's "All Available Collateral" rule which mandates that to the extent a borrower or its 20% or greater principals have available collateral (including personal residences), the collateral must be pledged to fully collateralize the loan, after applying SBA-determined liquidation rates. In addition, all 7a and 504 loans require the personal guaranty of all 20% or greater owners.

(e) The $17 million of non-SBA loans is comprised of approximately 20 conventional coffee/doughnut/carryout franchisee note purchases. The majority of purchased notes were made to multi-unit operators, are considered seasoned and have performed as agreed.

Institutional banking loans outstanding at March 31, 2022

		(in millions)
Securities backed lines of credit (SBLOC)	$	1,160		53%
Insurance backed lines of credit (IBLOC)		907		41%
Advisor financing		146		6%
Total	$	2,213		100%

For SBLOC, we generally lend up to 50% of the value of equities and 80% for investment grade securities. While equities have fallen in excess of 30% in recent years, the reduction in collateral value of brokerage accounts collateralizing SBLOCs generally has been less, for two reasons. First, many collateral accounts are “balanced” and accordingly have a component of debt securities, which have either not decreased in value as much as equities, or in some cases may have increased in value. Secondly, many of these accounts have the benefit of professional investment advisors who provided some protection against market downturns, through diversification and other means. Additionally, borrowers often utilize only a portion of collateral value, which lowers the percentage of principal to collateral.

Insurance backed lines of credit (IBLOC)
IBLOC loans are backed by the cash value of eligible life insurance policies which have been assigned to us. We lend up to 100% of such cash value. Our underwriting standards require approval of the insurance companies which carry the policies backing these loans. Currently, eight insurance companies have been approved and, as of January 26, 2022, all were rated Excellent (A or better) by AM BEST.
