The Bancorp, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Bancorp, Inc. ("The Bancorp" or “we”) (NASDAQ: TBBK), a financial holding company, today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2023.

Highlights

• The Bancorp reported net income of $49.1 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to net income of $29.0 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, or a 76% increase in income per diluted share.

• Return on assets and equity for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 amounted to 2.6% and 28%, respectively, compared to 1.7% and 18%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 (all percentages “annualized”).

• The increases in net income and return on assets and equity reflected increases in net interest income. Net interest income increased 62% to $85.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to $52.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Net interest income increases reflected the impact of continuing Federal Reserve rate increases on the Bancorp’s variable rate loans and securities.

• Net interest margin amounted to 4.67% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to 3.12% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, and 4.21% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022.

• Loans, net were $5.35 billion at March 31, 2023, compared to $5.49 billion at December 31, 2022 and $4.16 billion at March 31, 2022. Those changes reflected a decrease of 2% quarter over quarter and an increase of 29% year over year.

• Gross dollar volume (“GDV”), representing the total amounts spent on prepaid and debit cards, increased $5.45 billion, or 19%, to $34.01 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The increase reflects continued organic growth with existing partners and the impact from new clients added throughout 2022. Total prepaid, debit card, ACH and other payment fees increased 24% to $25.5 million for first quarter 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022.

• Small business loans (“SBL”), including those held at fair value, grew 11% year over year to $785.8 million at March 31, 2023, and 3% quarter over quarter. That growth is exclusive of Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan balances which amounted to $4.0 million and $23.7 million, respectively, at March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022.

• Direct lease financing balances increased 21% year over year to $652.5 million at March 31, 2023, and 3% quarter over quarter.

• At March 31, 2023, the $1.75 billion balance of real estate bridge loans, consisting entirely of apartment buildings, compared to $1.67 billion at December 31, 2022, reflecting quarter over quarter growth of 5%. At March 31, 2022, these loans totaled $803.5 million.

• Security backed lines of credit (“SBLOC”), insurance backed lines of credit (“IBLOC”) and investment advisor financing loans collectively increased 1% year over year and decreased 10% quarter over quarter to $2.24 billion at March 31, 2023.

• The average interest rate on $6.77 billion of average deposits and interest-bearing liabilities during the first quarter of 2023 was 2.15%. Average deposits of $6.62 billion for the first quarter of 2023, reflected an increase of 8% from the $6.11 billion of average deposits for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

• The Bancorp emphasizes safety and soundness, and liquidity. The vast majority of its funding is comprised of large numbers of insured and small balance accounts. The Bancorp also has lines of credit with U.S. government agencies totaling approximately $3.3 billion as of April 27, 2023 and access to significant other liquidity.

• As of March 31, 2023, 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 9.88%, 14.34%, 14.84% and 14.34%, respectively, compared to well-capitalized minimums of 5%, 8%, 10% and 6.5%, respectively. The Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Bancorp Bank, National Association, each remain well capitalized under banking regulations.

• Book value per common share at March 31, 2023 was $13.11 per share compared to $11.41 per common share at March 31, 2022, an increase of 15%. Increases resulting from retained earnings were partially offset by reductions in the market value of securities available for sale, which are recognized through equity.

• The Bancorp repurchased 778,442 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $32.12 per share during the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

CEO and President Damian Kozlowski stated “The recent dislocation in the banking industry did not materially impact our company. With granular deposits spread across more than 130 million insured small accounts through our Fin-tech ecosystem, a low risk variable rate and short duration credit book and significant liquidity and borrowing capacity, TBBK was well positioned to manage the increased volatility exhibited in the beginning of 2023. Our performance expectations for the first quarter were significantly surpassed. We are raising guidance from $3.20 a share to $3.60 a share, without including the impact of anticipated share buy backs of $25 million per quarter in 2023.”

** In 2020, we began originating loans to investment advisors for purposes of debt refinance, acquisition of another firm or internal succession.

Personal guarantees and blanket business liens are obtained as appropriate.

****The small business loans held at fair value are comprised of the government guaranteed portion of certain SBA loans at the dates indicated.

Small business loans as of March 31, 2023
		Loan principal
		(Dollars in millions)
U.S. government guaranteed portion of SBA loans (a)		$	380
Paycheck Protection Program loans (PPP) (a)			4
Commercial mortgage SBA (b)			257
Construction SBA (c)			11
Non-guaranteed portion of U.S. government guaranteed loans (d)			104
Non-SBA small business loans			23
Total principal		$	779
Unamortized fees and costs			11
Total small business loans		$	790

(a) This is the portion of SBA 7a loans (7a) and PPP loans that 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 $11 million in Construction SBA loans, $9 million are 504 first mortgages with an origination date LTV of 50-60% and $2 million are SBA interim loans with an approved SBA post-construction full takeout/payoff.

(d) The $104 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.

Institutional banking loans outstanding at March 31, 2023
Type		Principal			% of total
			(Dollars in millions)
Securities backed lines of credit (SBLOC)		$	1,132		50%
Insurance backed lines of credit (IBLOC)			922		41%
Advisor financing			189		9%
Total		$	2,243		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 generally lend up to 95% of such cash value. Our underwriting standards require approval of the insurance companies which carry the policies backing these loans. Currently, nine insurance companies have been approved and, as of March 31, 2023, all were rated A- or better by AM BEST.
