Bank of Marin Bancorp Reports First Quarter Earnings of $8.9 Million

Apr. 19, 2021

NOVATO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 19, 2021--Bank of Marin Bancorp, "Bancorp" (Nasdaq: BMRC), parent company of Bank of Marin, "Bank," announced earnings of $8.9 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $8.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 and $7.2 million in the first quarter of 2020. Diluted earnings per share were $0.66 in the first quarter, $0.60 in the prior quarter, and $0.53 in the same quarter last year.

"Bank of Marin delivered steady, reliable results throughout 2020, reflecting our sound underwriting and commitment to relationship banking," said Russell A. Colombo, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our first quarter results in 2021 reinforced that consistency. Our credit quality is strong, and we are poised to grow as the economy reopens and our markets gain momentum."

First quarter 2021 earnings included a $2.9 million reversal of the allowance for credit losses on loans and $590 thousand reversal of allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments. Additionally, the early redemption of our last subordinated debenture generated $1.3 million in accelerated discount accretion in interest expense.

Bancorp provided the following highlights from the first quarter of 2021:

* Loan balances of $2.122 billion at March 31, 2021 compared to $2.089 billion at December 31, 2020 and $1.844 billion at March 31, 2020. Small Business Administration ("SBA") Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans contributed to the increase and represented $365.0 million outstanding at March 31, 2021 versus $291.6 million at December 31, 2020. There were no PPP loans in the comparative year ago period. As of March 31, 2021, $55.9 million of our PPP loans had been forgiven and paid off by the SBA.

* Credit quality remains strong, with non-accrual loans representing 0.43% of total loans as of March 31, 2021, compared to 0.44% at December 31, 2020, and 0.09% at March 31, 2020. Reversals of $2.9 million to the allowance for credit losses on loans and $590 thousand to the allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments were driven primarily by an improvement in economic forecasts and a $40.2 million decrease in non-PPP loan balances.

* Total deposits grew $152.0 million from $2.504 billion at December 31, 2020 to $2.656 billion at March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to increases in PPP borrower-related accounts and normal fluctuations in some of our large business accounts. Non-interest bearing deposits represented 54% of total deposits as of the end of the first quarter of 2021 and fourth quarter of 2020, versus 49% at the end of the first quarter a year ago. First quarter 2021 cost of average deposits was consistent with the prior quarter at 0.07%, compared to 0.21% in the first quarter of 2020.

* Return on average assets ("ROA") and return on average equity ("ROE") were 1.21% and 10.22%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. These reflect meaningful increases as ROA was 1.09% in both the prior and year-ago quarters. ROE was 8.98% and 8.54%, respectively, for the fourth quarter and first quarter of 2020.

* Our strong capital and liquidity position afforded us the opportunity to eliminate a high cost funding source. On March 15, 2021 we redeemed a $2.8 million subordinated debenture, which carried an effective rate of approximately 5.7%. While the redemption decreased our net interest margin by 18 basis points in the first quarter of 2021, it will serve to improve net interest margin in the future.

* All capital ratios were above well-capitalized regulatory requirements. The total risk-based capital ratio for Bancorp was 15.7% at March 31, 2021, compared to 16.0% at December 31, 2020, and 15.3% at March 31, 2020. Bancorp's tangible common equity to tangible assets was 10.5% at March 31, 2021, compared to 11.3% at December 31, 2020 and 11.7% at March 31, 2020 (refer to footnote 5 on page 6 for a definition of this non-GAAP financial measure). The subordinated debt redemption contributed to the decline in total risk-based capital, and share repurchases were the primary driver of the declines in both total risk-based capital and tangible common equity. The total risk-based capital ratio for the Bank was 14.8% at March 31, 2021, compared to 15.8% at December 31, 2020, and 14.4% at March 31, 2020.

* The Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.23 per share on April 16, 2021. This represents the 64th consecutive quarterly dividend paid by Bank of Marin Bancorp. The dividend is payable on May 7, 2021, to shareholders of record at the close of business on April 30, 2021.

* As previously announced, Secil Tabli Watson was appointed as a new director on the boards of both the Bancorp and Bank effective April 1, 2021.

Loans and Credit Quality

Loans increased by $33.2 million in the first quarter and totaled $2.122 billion at March 31, 2021, which was comprised of a $73.4 million net increase in PPP loans, and a $40.2 million decrease in non-PPP loans. Non-PPP-related loan originations were $25.3 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared to $29.8 million for the first quarter of 2020. Loan payoffs were $34.6 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $51.7 million for the first quarter of 2020. Loan payoffs in the first quarter consisted largely of consumer loans and loans whereby underlying assets were sold (including completed construction projects). Other negative variances included loans refinanced with other banks and decreased commitment line utilization.

As of March 31, 2021, there were 2,513 PPP loans outstanding totaling $365.0 million (net of $8.0 million in unrecognized fees and costs), which included 841 loans totaling $119.5 million funded during the first quarter of 2021 under the second round of the PPP stimulus plan. Of the total PPP loans funded as of March 31, 2021, 144 loans amounting to $55.9 million were forgiven and paid off by the SBA. We expect the forgiveness of the first round of PPP loans to accelerate during the second quarter of 2021. Of the loans remaining, 77% (1,940 loans) totaling $89.6 million are less than or equal to $150 thousand and have access to streamlined forgiveness processing.

As of April 15, 2021, 11 borrowing relationships with 17 loans totaling $59.2 million were benefiting from payment relief. We monitor the financial situation of these clients closely and expect the majority to resume payments as the economy reopens. The following table summarizes these loans by industry or collateral type.

Industry/Collateral Type (dollars in Outstanding Loan Weighted Averagethousands) Balance LTV

Education $ 17,076 26 %

Health Clubs 16,427 45 %

Office and Mixed Use 13,794 42 %

Hospitality 7,135 48 %

Retail Related CRE 4,760 58 %

Payment Relief Totals $ 59,192 40 %

Non-accrual loans totaled $9.2 million, or 0.43% of the loan portfolio, at March 31, 2021, $9.2 million, or 0.44% at December 31, 2020, and $1.6 million, or 0.09% a year ago. Classified loans totaled $26.4 million at March 31, 2021, compared to $25.8 million at December 31, 2020 and $12.1 million at March 31, 2020. There were no loans classified doubtful at March 31, 2021, December 31, 2020, or March 31, 2020. Accruing loans past due 30 to 89 days totaled $1.0 million at March 31, 2021, compared to $1.8 million at December 31, 2020 and $1.3 million a year ago.

In the first quarter of 2021, we recorded a reversal of the provision for credit losses on loans of $2.9 million, compared to a reversal of $856 thousand in the prior quarter and an increase of $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2020. Both the current and previous quarters' allowances were calculated under the current expected credit loss methodology. The reversal of the provision in the first quarter of 2021 was primarily due to improvements in the forecasted California unemployment rates over the next four quarters and a $40.2 million decrease in non-PPP loans. The first quarter of 2020 included a $2.2 million provision for credit losses on loans, as determined under the incurred loss methodology, due to economic uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic. Net recoveries were $13 thousand in the first quarter of 2021 and fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $7 thousand in the first quarter a year ago. The ratio of allowance for credit losses to total loans was 0.94% at March 31, 2021, 1.10% at December 31, 2020, and 1.02% at March 31, 2020. Excluding acquired and SBA PPP loans, the allowance for credit losses represented 1.14% of total loans as of March 31, 2021, compared to 1.27% and 1.08% as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively (refer to footnote 4 on page 6 for a definition of this non-GAAP financial measure).

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $142.8 million at March 31, 2021, compared to $200.3 million at December 31, 2020. The reduction was primarily due to growth in SBA PPP loans and investment securities, partially offset by increased deposits.

Investments

The investment securities portfolio increased to $670.5 million at March 31, 2021 from $501.4 million at December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily attributed to purchases of $203.4 million to deploy excess cash in a more favorable interest rate environment, partially offset by paydowns, calls and maturities of $24.7 million. The fair value of available-for-sale investment securities decreased $9.1 million, primarily due to the rise in interest rates in the first quarter of 2021.

Deposits

Total deposits were $2.656 billion at March 31, 2021, compared to $2.504 billion at December 31, 2020. PPP borrower-related deposits and normal fluctuations in some of our large business accounts drove the increase. Additionally, the bank maintained $180.8 million in off-balance sheet deposits with deposit networks at March 31, 2021. The average cost of deposits held steady at 0.07% in the first quarter of 2021.

On March 30, 2020, we implemented temporary fee waivers for all ATM fees, overdraft fees and early withdrawal penalties for time deposits to help ease the financial burden customers began experiencing due to the pandemic. After honoring the fee waivers for one year, we announced at the beginning of April those fees would no longer be automatically waived as of May 3, 2021, allowing our customers 30 days to adjust.

Earnings

"We continued our established tradition of carefully managing expenses in the first quarter, while taking advantage of market opportunities to invest excess cash and reduce high-cost debt," said Tani Girton, EVP and Chief Financial Officer. "With consistent profitability, excellent asset quality and low-cost funding, we are confident in our ability to grow alongside our clients and continue to develop value for our shareholders."

Net interest income totaled $22.0 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $23.6 million in the prior quarter and $24.1 million a year ago. The $1.6 million decrease from the prior quarter was mostly attributable to $1.3 million in accelerated discount accretion from the early redemption of a subordinated debenture. Additionally, interest income declined due to two fewer days in the quarter.

The $2.1 million decrease in net interest income from the comparative quarter a year ago was primarily caused by lower yields across interest-earning assets stemming from the low interest rate environment, early redemption of the subordinated debenture as mentioned above, and lower average commercial and home equity loan balances. These negative variances were partially offset by interest and fees on PPP loans and lower rates on interest-bearing liabilities.

The tax-equivalent net interest margin was 3.19% in the first quarter, 3.40% in the prior quarter, and 3.88% in the first quarter of 2020. The early redemption of our last subordinated debenture reduced first quarter 2021 tax-equivalent net interest margin by approximately 18 basis points, but will improve net interest margin going forward. The decrease from the same quarter a year ago was primarily attributed to the lower interest rate environment.

Non-interest income totaled $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2021 and the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $3.1 million in the first quarter a year ago. The $1.3 million decrease from the first quarter of 2020 was mostly attributed to the absence of gains on sales of investment securities, lower service charges on deposit accounts, and lower fee income from one-way deposit sales to third-party deposit networks.

Non-interest expense decreased $358 thousand to $14.8 million in the first quarter of 2021 from $15.2 million in the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily due to a $590 thousand reversal of the allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments versus a $960 thousand provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments in the prior quarter. This favorable variance was partially offset by $794 thousand in higher salaries and related benefits expenses, which included January resets of 401K matching, accelerated stock-based compensation for participants meeting retirement eligibility criteria. Professional services also increased due to some pandemic related delays in 2020 activities.

First quarter non-interest expense decreased $647 thousand from $15.5 million in the first quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily attributed to the $590 thousand reversal of allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments versus a $102 thousand provision a year ago. In addition, salaries and related benefits decreased $269 thousand (mostly attributed to $421 thousand additional deferred loan origination costs from funding the second round of SBA PPP loans) and charitable contributions $136 thousand. Increases included professional services as mentioned above and the discontinuation of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance credits received in 2020.

The efficiency ratio was 62.13% in the first quarter of 2021, up from 59.70% in the prior quarter and 56.79% in the comparative period a year ago. Without the $1.3 million accelerated discount accretion from the early redemption of the subordinated debenture our efficiency ratio would have been 58.92%.

Share Repurchase Program

Bancorp repurchased 224,013 shares totaling $8.5 million in the first quarter of 2021 for a cumulative total of 393,584 shares amounting to $14.3 million under the $25.0 million share repurchase program that was approved by the Board of Directors on January 24, 2020, expiring February 28, 2022.

1 Interest income/expense is divided by actual number of days in the period times 360 days to correspond to stated interest rate terms, where applicable.

2 Yields on available-for-sale securities are calculated based on amortized cost balances rather than fair value, as changes in fair value are reflected as a component of stockholders' equity. Investment security interest is earned on 30/360 day basis monthly.

3 Yields and interest income on tax-exempt securities and loans are presented on a taxable-equivalent basis using the Federal statutory rate of 21 percent in 2021 and 2020.

4 Average balances on loans outstanding include non-performing loans. The amortized portion of net loan origination fees is included in interest income on loans, representing an adjustment to the yield.

5 First quarter 2021 interest expense includes $1.3 million accelerated discount accretion from the early redemption of our last subordinated debenture on March 15, 2021.
