Insights

The Bancorp, Inc.'s reported net income of $44.0 million for Q4 2023, reflecting a 9.4% increase from Q4 2022, is a positive indicator of the company's profitability amidst a challenging economic environment. The adjusted EPS of $0.95, when accounting for the provision for credit loss, surpasses the reported $0.81, demonstrating the company's underlying earnings power. The net interest income surge by 20% is a direct consequence of the Federal Reserve's rate hikes, which have favorably impacted variable rate loans and securities. This significant increase in net interest margin to 5.26% from 4.21% year-over-year suggests a robust yield on earning assets, which is commendable given the competitive banking sector.

Furthermore, the reported growth in gross dollar volume (GDV) by 13% indicates strong consumer spending via prepaid and debit cards, which is a vital revenue stream for The Bancorp. The consistent growth in small business loans and real estate bridge loans, particularly in the apartment building sector, suggests a strategic focus on niche financing markets that may offer higher yields. However, the 26% decline in security backed and insurance backed lines of credit warrants attention, as it could signal a strategic shift or a response to market conditions.

Lastly, The Bancorp's emphasis on safety and soundness is evident in its well-capitalized status, with all capital ratios comfortably above regulatory minimums. The 22% increase in book value per common share is a strong indicator of the company's value growth over the year. The share repurchase program, which reduced outstanding shares, may also contribute to future EPS growth, providing an optimistic outlook for shareholders.

The Bancorp's performance, particularly the 15% increase in payment fees and the growth in GDV, reflects consumer resilience and the effectiveness of The Bancorp's partnership model in the payment space. The growth in prepaid and debit card usage aligns with broader industry trends towards digital and cashless transactions, which have been accelerated by the pandemic and changes in consumer behavior. The organic growth with existing partners and the onboarding of new clients within the past year suggest that The Bancorp is successfully expanding its market share in the fintech ecosystem.

Moreover, the increase in small business loans and direct lease financing balances indicates a strategic focus on sectors that may be less sensitive to economic downturns or that are experiencing growth despite broader economic challenges. The real estate bridge loan growth, specifically in apartment buildings, aligns with trends in the housing market where rental demand remains strong. This focus on real estate lending, particularly in the multifamily sector, could provide a stable source of revenue for The Bancorp, given the ongoing demand for housing.

The Bancorp's financial results are reflective of the broader macroeconomic environment, where interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve have led to increased net interest margins for banks. The Bancorp's ability to leverage these rate hikes to improve its net interest income is indicative of sound asset-liability management. The decrease in average deposits, however, may be a result of the bank's strategy to exit higher-cost funds, which could be a prudent move to improve net interest margin in a rising rate environment.

Additionally, the bank's capital ratios, which are well above the regulatory requirements, provide a buffer against potential economic shocks and position the bank favorably for future growth or adverse economic conditions. The guidance for 2024, projecting $4.25 a share, suggests confidence in the bank's ability to maintain profitability and possibly benefit from ongoing market conditions. However, the exclusion of the impact of share buybacks in this guidance should be noted, as buybacks can artificially inflate EPS figures.

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

Highlights

  • The Bancorp reported net income of $44.0 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to net income of $40.2 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. Excluding the tax effected impact of a $10.0 million provision for credit loss on its only trust preferred security, non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share amounted to $0.95.*
  • Return on assets and equity for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 amounted to 2.4% and 22%, respectively, compared to 2.1% and 24%, respectively, for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 (all percentages “annualized”).
  • Net interest income increased 20% to $92.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to $76.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. Net interest income increases reflected the impact of Federal Reserve rate increases on The Bancorp’s variable rate loans and securities.
  • Net interest margin amounted to 5.26% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to 4.21% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, and 5.07% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.
  • Loans, net of deferred fees and costs were $5.36 billion at December 31, 2023, compared to $5.20 billion at September 30, 2023 and $5.49 billion at December 31, 2022. Those changes reflected an increase of 3% quarter over linked quarter and a decrease of 2% year over year.
  • Gross dollar volume (“GDV”), representing the total amounts spent on prepaid and debit cards, increased $3.84 billion, or 13%, to $33.29 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The increase reflects continued organic growth with existing partners and the impact of clients added within the past year. Total prepaid, debit card, ACH and other payment fees increased 15% to $25.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022.
  • Small business loans (“SBL”), including those held at fair value, amounted to $896.2 million at December 31, 2023, or 13% higher year over year, and 4% quarter over linked quarter, excluding $28.6 million of loans with related secured borrowings.
  • Direct lease financing balances increased 8% year over year to $685.7 million at December 31, 2023, and 2% quarter over September 30, 2023.
  • At December 31, 2023, real estate bridge loans of $2.00 billion had grown 8% compared to the $1.85 billion balance at September 30, 2023, and 20% compared to the December 31, 2022 balance of $1.67 billion. These real estate bridge loans consist entirely of apartment buildings.
  • Security backed lines of credit (“SBLOC”), insurance backed lines of credit (“IBLOC”) and investment advisor financing loans collectively decreased 26% year over year and decreased 4% quarter over linked quarter to $1.85 billion at December 31, 2023.
  • The average interest rate on $6.37 billion of average deposits and interest-bearing liabilities during the fourth quarter of 2023 was 2.51%. Average deposits of $6.25 billion for the fourth quarter of 2023 reflected a decrease of 6% from the $6.62 billion of average deposits for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, and a 1% decrease from $6.29 billion of average deposits for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The decreases reflected the planned exit of $200 million of higher cost funds on July 1, 2023. Not included in deposit totals are deposits which are sold to other financial institutions totaling $300.7 million at December 31, 2023.
  • The Bancorp emphasizes safety and soundness, and liquidity. The vast majority of its funding is comprised of insured and small balance accounts. The Bancorp also has lines of credit with U.S. government agencies totaling approximately $2.7 billion as of December 31, 2023, as well as access to other liquidity.
  • As of December 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 11.19%, 15.66%, 16.23% and 15.66%, 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 December 31, 2023 was $15.17 compared to $12.46 per common share at December 31, 2022, an increase of 22%.
  • The Bancorp repurchased 664,499 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $37.62 per share during the quarter ended December 31, 2023.

*The Bank purchased a $10.0 million trust preferred security in 2006, which is the only such security in its portfolios. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Bank took a charge for the full amount of the security through a provision for credit loss. The following reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP adjusted net income and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) for the fourth quarter of 2023, adjusts for the impact of that charge.

CEO and President Damian Kozlowski commented, “In 2023, we rode the waves of market turmoil and interest rate hikes and demonstrated the superiority of our rigorous commitment to our business partners, safety and soundness and shareholder advocacy. The strength of our business model and our comprehensive and integrated risk management showed that sound fundamental banking can reduce event risk and create opportunities for exemplar performance even in times of economic dislocations. We are confirming 2024 guidance of $4.25 a share without including the impact of share buybacks of $200 million for the year, or $50 million a quarter.”

(1)SBLOC are collateralized by marketable securities, while IBLOC are collateralized by the cash surrender value of insurance policies. At December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, IBLOC loans amounted to $646.9 million and $1.12 billion, respectively.

(2)In 2020 The Bancorp began originating loans to investment advisors for purposes of debt refinancing, acquisition of another firm or internal succession. Maximum loan amounts are subject to loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratios of 70% of the business enterprise value based on a third-party valuation, but may be increased depending upon the debt service coverage ratio. Personal guarantees and blanket business liens are obtained as appropriate.

(3)Includes demand deposit overdrafts reclassified as loan balances totaling $1.7 million and $2.6 million at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Estimated overdraft charge-offs and recoveries are reflected in the allowance for credit losses and are immaterial.

(4)The SBLs held at fair value are comprised of the government guaranteed portion of 7(a) Program loans at the dates indicated.

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

(2)Substantially all these loans are made under the 504 Program, which dictates origination date LTV percentages, generally 50-60%, to which The Bancorp adheres.

(3)Includes $4.0 million in 504 Program first mortgages with an origination date LTV of 50-60%, and $8.0 million in SBA interim loans with an approved SBA post-construction full takeout/payoff.

(4)Includes the unguaranteed portion of 7(a) Program loans which are 70% or more guaranteed by the U.S. government. SBA 7(a) Program 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 7(a) Program loans and 504 Program loans require the personal guaranty of all 20% or greater owners.

(5)Comprised of $29.0 million of loans sold that do not qualify for true sale accounting.

(1)In the third quarter of 2021, we resumed the origination of multi-family apartment loans. These are similar to the multi-family apartment loans carried at fair value, but at origination are intended to be held on the balance sheet, so they are not accounted for at fair value.

For SBLOC, we generally lend up to 50% of the value of equities and 80% for investment grade securities. While the value of equities has 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. Second, 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, fifteen insurance companies have been approved and, as of December 31, 2023, all were rated A- (Excellent) or better by AM BEST.
