First Business Bank Reports Strong Third Quarter 2021 Net Income of $9.2 Million

-- Continuation of positive trends including top line revenue growth, organic loan growth, and superior asset quality --

First Business Financial Services, Inc. (the “Company”, the “Bank”, or “First Business Bank”) (Nasdaq:FBIZ) reported net income of $9.2 million, or $1.07 diluted earnings per share, in the third quarter 2021. Third quarter net income grew by 11.7% from $8.2 million, or $0.95 per share, in the second quarter of 2021 and more than doubled from $4.3 million, or $0.50, in the third quarter of 2020.

“First Business Bank’s excellent third quarter results include profitable top line revenue growth illustrating the strength and diversification of our fee generating businesses, net interest margin stability, and our team’s ability to organically grow commercial loans,” President and Chief Executive Officer Corey Chambas said. “Excluding PPP loans, we achieved another quarter of solid loan growth and our record pipelines continue to support our expectation for double-digit organic loan growth for full-year 2021 and 2022. As expected, our discipline around credit resulted in further improvement to our asset quality metrics, with nonperforming assets declining to just 0.29% of total assets, the lowest level since 2006. Our results were further supported by a loan loss provision benefit in the third quarter and, based on current economic trends, we continue to expect no meaningful provision in the fourth quarter and anticipate continued opportunities to release reserves in 2022.”

Quarterly Highlights

  • Continued Loan Growth. Loans, excluding Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans, grew $36.0 million, or 7.1% annualized, from the second quarter of 2021 and $214.0 million, or 11.6%, from the third quarter of 2020, as the Company continued to expand specialized lending offerings for commercial clients and focus on growing our businesses across all products and geographies.
  • Sustained Strong Revenue Growth. Driven by net interest margin stability and fee income growth, top line revenue, the sum of net interest income and non-interest income, grew to $28.2 million, up 8.5% from the third quarter of 2020. Third quarter 2021 non-interest income continued to reflect the strength and diversity of our fee income sources, including record revenue from private wealth management of $2.8 million on $2.7 billion in assets under management and administration for the period.
  • Positive Asset Quality Trends. Non-performing assets (“NPAs”) declined 34.4% to $7.6 million, or 0.29% of total assets, marking the fourth consecutive quarterly reduction of more than 25%. NPAs made up 0.30% of total assets, excluding net PPP loans, improving by 12 and 131 basis points from June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively.
  • Compounding Tangible Book Value. Tangible Book Value (“TBV”) per share grew by 14% annualized in the quarter to $25.11, which is nearly double the long-term growth rate of 8%.

This is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes these measures are meaningful because they reflect adjustments commonly made by management, investors, regulators, and analysts to evaluate financial performance, provide greater understanding of ongoing operations, and enhance comparability of results with prior periods. See the section titled Non-GAAP Reconciliations at the end of this release for a reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures.

Calculation is annualized.

Third Quarter 2021 Compared to Second Quarter 2021

Net interest income decreased $429,000, or 2.0%, to $21.2 million.

  • Net interest income decreased primarily due to a reduction in fees in lieu of interest. Fees in lieu of interest, which can vary from quarter to quarter based on client-driven activity, totaled $2.8 million, compared to $3.5 million. Excluding fees in lieu of interest, net interest income increased $268,000, or 1.5%.
  • Average loans and leases receivable, excluding net PPP loans in both periods of comparison, increased $49.4 million, or 9.9% annualized, to $2.044 billion.
  • The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased six basis points to 3.90% from 3.96%. Excluding average net PPP loans, the PPP loan interest income of $221,000, and the aforementioned fees in lieu of interest, the yield earned on average interest-earning assets decreased 11 basis points to 3.53% from 3.64%. The rate paid for average total bank funding decreased three basis point to 0.36% from 0.39%. Total bank funding is defined as total deposits plus Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances, and Federal Reserve Discount Window advances.
  • Net interest margin decreased four basis points to 3.45% from 3.49%. Adjusted net interest margin was 3.22%, compared to 3.20% in the linked quarter. Adjusted net interest margin is a non-GAAP measure representing net interest income excluding the fees in lieu of interest and other recurring but volatile components of net interest margin divided by average interest-earning assets less average net PPP loans, if any, and other recurring but volatile components of average interest-earning assets such as excess liquidity and non-accrual loans.

The Company reported a net benefit to provision for loan and lease losses of $2.3 million, compared to a net benefit of $1.0 million in the second quarter.

  • The decrease in the provision for loan and lease losses was primarily due to a $923,000 reduction in the general reserve from improving historical loss rates, $1.3 million in net recoveries, and a $451,000 decrease in specific reserves. These decreases were partially offset by a $426,000 increase in the general reserve due to loan growth.

Non-interest income increased $694,000, or 11.0%, to $7.0 million.

  • Private wealth management fee income increased $15,000, or 0.5% to $2.8 million. Private wealth and trust assets under management and administration measured a record $2.694 billion at September 30, 2021, up $129.8 million, or 20.2% annualized, primarily due to growth from new and existing clients.
  • Gains on sale of SBA loans decreased $482,000 to $721,000. Management expects this revenue stream to return to levels consistent with the first half of the year in the coming quarters and continues to believe gains on sale of traditional SBA loans (i.e., SBA loans unrelated to PPP loans), while variable based on timing of closings, will continue to increase annually at a measured pace.
  • During the third and second quarters of 2021 there was no commercial loan interest rate swap fee income. Swap fee income can vary from period to period based on client demand and the interest rate environment in any given quarter. Subsequent to September 30, 2021, the Company completed two commercial loan interest rate swap transactions which generated swap fees totaling $684,000.
  • Other fee income increased $1.0 million to $1.9 million, compared to $835,000 in the second quarter, reflecting higher than typical returns from the Company’s investments in mezzanine funds.

Non-interest expense increased $306,000, or 1.7%, to $18.5 million. Operating expense increased $614,000, or 3.4%, to $18.5 million.

  • Compensation expense, the largest component of the Company’s non-interest expense, increased $96,000, or 0.7%, to $13.4 million, primarily for performance-based incentive compensation accruals reflecting strong company performance relative to bonus criteria.
  • Other non-interest expense increased $543,000 to $719,000. Other non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2021 included a $206,000 and $78,000 benefit in the Company’s swap credit valuation and loan servicing impairment valuation, respectively. The remaining variance was generally attributable to higher travel costs.

Total period-end loans and leases receivable, excluding net PPP loans in both periods of comparison, increased $36.0 million, or 7.1% annualized, to $2.059 billion.

  • Commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans, excluding net PPP loans, increased $41.9 million, or 29.2% annualized, led by First Business Bank’s specialized lending commercial business lines. Management believes the timely prior-period investments in our specialized lending business lines, such as dealer floorplan financing, small-ticket equipment vendor financing, and accounts receivable financing, have positioned C&I lending to increase throughout the current economic cycle.
  • Commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans decreased by $4.3 million to $1.388 billion, compared to $1.392 billion, as new production was offset by payoffs and paydowns.

Total period-end in-market deposits decreased $186.6 million to $1.830 billion, compared to $2.016 billion, and the average rate paid decreased one basis point to 0.14%.

  • As previously disclosed, in-market deposits on June 30, 2021 included a temporary balance associated with the proceeds of a commercial client’s business sale late in the second quarter, the majority of which was moved off the balance sheet in early July. Excluding this temporary deposit, total period-end in-market deposits increased by $38.4 million, or 8.6% annualized.
  • Excluding the temporary deposit, money market accounts, interest-bearing transaction accounts, and certificates of deposit increased $43.6 million, $5.6 million, and $12.5 million, respectively, while non-interest bearing transaction accounts decreased $23.2 million.

Period-end wholesale funding, including FHLB advances, Federal Reserve Discount Window advances, brokered deposits, and deposits gathered through internet deposit listing services, decreased $99.9 million to $432.4 million.

  • Wholesale deposits decreased $69.9 million to $74.6 million. The average rate paid on wholesale deposits increased 18 basis points to 0.92% and the weighted average original maturity of brokered certificates of deposit increased to 3.7 years from 3.5 years.
  • FHLB advances decreased $30.0 million to $357.8 million. The average rate paid on FHLB advances increased two basis points to 1.29% and the weighted average original maturity increased to 6.2 years from 6.1 years.

Non-performing assets decreased $4.0 million, or 34.4%, to $7.6 million, or 0.29% of total assets, compared to $11.6 million, or 0.40% of total assets. The reduction in non-performing assets was due to loan payoffs. Excluding net PPP loans, non-performing assets were 0.30% of total assets as of September 30, 2021, compared to 0.42% as of June 30, 2021.

The allowance for loan and lease losses decreased $1.0 million, or 3.9%, as an increase in the general reserve from loan growth was more than offset by a decrease in the historical loss rate and reduction in specific reserves.

  • The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percent of total gross loans and leases was 1.16% compared to 1.20% as of June 30, 2021.
  • Excluding net PPP loans, the allowance for loan and leases losses as a percent of total gross loans and leases was 1.20%, compared to 1.27% as of June 30, 2021.

Third Quarter 2021 Compared to Third Quarter 2020

Net interest income increased $2.6 million, or 14.0%, to $21.2 million.

  • The increase in net interest income reflects expanded yields on average gross loans and leases, which were relatively consistent between periods, and lower deposit costs. Excluding fees collected in lieu of interest and interest income from PPP loans, net interest income increased $1.9 million, or 11.4%. Excluding net PPP loans, average gross loans and leases increased $227.2 million, or 12.5%.
  • The yield on average interest-earning assets measured 3.90% compared to 3.75%. Excluding fees collected in lieu of interest, PPP loan interest income and net PPP loans, the yield on average interest-earning assets measured 3.53%, compared to 3.89%. This decrease in yield was primarily due to the decrease in LIBOR and Prime rates and related impact on variable-rate loans, in addition to the renewal of fixed-rate loans and reinvestment of cash flows from the securities portfolio at historically low interest rates. The rate paid for average total bank funding decreased 18 basis points to 0.36% from 0.54%.
  • Net interest margin increased 31 basis points to 3.45% from 3.14%. Adjusted net interest margin decreased 2 basis points to 3.22% from 3.24%.

The Company reported a net benefit to provision for loan and lease losses of $2.3 million, compared to a $3.8 million expense in the third quarter of 2020.

Non-interest income of $7.0 million compares to $7.4 million in the prior year period.

  • Private wealth management fee income increased $592,000, or 27.3%, to $2.8 million. Private wealth and trust assets under management and administration measured a record $2.694 billion at September 30, 2021, up $676.6 million, or 33.5%.
  • Loan fees of $713,000 increased by $235,000, or 49.2%, primarily due to an increase in floorplan financing curtailment fees and miscellaneous asset-based lending fees.
  • Gains on sale of SBA loans decreased $39,000 to $721,000. Management expects this revenue stream to return to levels consistent with the first half of the year in the coming quarters and continues to believe gains on sale of traditional SBA loans (i.e., SBA loans unrelated to PPP loans), while variable based on timing of closings, will continue to increase annually at a measured pace.
  • During the third quarter of 2021, there was no commercial loan interest rate swap fee income activity, compared to $2.4 million in the year-ago period. Swap fee income can vary from period to period based on client demand and the interest rate environment in any given quarter.
  • Other fee income increased $1.2 million, or 176.0%, to $1.9 million compared to $676,000, reflecting higher than typical returns from the Company’s investments in mezzanine funds in the third quarter of 2021.

Non-interest expense increased $1.7 million, or 10.3%, to $18.5 million. Operating expense increased $1.8 million, or 11.1%, to $18.5 million.

  • Compensation expense increased $1.5 million, or 12.6%, to $13.4 million. The increase resulted from new hires and an increase in performance-based incentive compensation accruals reflecting strong company performance relative to bonus criteria.. Average full-time equivalent employees increased to 311, up 5.4% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to 295 for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Total period-end loans and leases receivable, excluding net PPP loans in both periods of comparison, increased $214.0 million, or 11.6%, to $2.059 billion.

  • C&I loans, excluding net PPP loans, increased $151.7 million, or 32.6%.
  • CRE loans increased $61.2 million, or 4.6%, as increases in the non-owner occupied and multi-family portfolios were partially offset by reductions in the land development and 1-4 family portfolios.

Total period-end in-market deposits increased $162.4 million, or 9.7%, to $1.830 billion and the average rate paid decreased 13 basis points to 0.14%.

  • Transaction and money market accounts increased $106.3 million and $91.9 million, respectively, while certificates of deposits decreased $35.7 million.

Period-end wholesale funding decreased $180.8 million to $432.4 million.

  • Wholesale deposits decreased $79.5 million to $74.6 million, compared to $154.1 million, as the existing portfolio runoff was replaced by in-market deposits. The average rate paid on brokered certificates of deposit decreased 41 basis points to 0.92% and the weighted average original maturity decreased to 3.7 years from 4.3 years.
  • FHLB advances decreased $71.7 million to $357.8 million. The average rate paid on FHLB advances increased 14 basis points to 1.29% and the weighted average original maturity increased to 6.2 years from 5.1 years.

Non-performing assets decreased to $7.6 million, or 0.29% of total assets, compared to $36.7 million, or 1.41% of total assets. Excluding net PPP loans, non-performing assets were 0.30% of total assets as of September 30, 2021 compared to 1.61% one year prior.

The allowance for loan and lease losses decreased $6.1 million to $24.7 million, compared to $30.8 million.

  • The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percent of total gross loans and leases was 1.16% compared to 1.41%.
  • Excluding net PPP loans, the allowance for loan and leases losses as a percent of total gross loans and leases was 1.20% as of September 30, 2021 compared to 1.67% one year prior.

COVID-19 Update

In the second quarter of 2021, the Company communicated return to office plans to employees. Based on the national and local guidelines, the Company developed a phased-in approach for returning to the office. Under this phased-in approach, more employees returned to the office in early June 2021. The return to office included enhanced safety protocols and processes to provide the best working environment possible for employees. In addition, the Company has adopted workplace flexibility strategies in response to ever-changing circumstances and expectations. Remote, hybrid and hoteling options are available for most positions. These options cultivate a more flexible work environment that is very attractive to our employees.

Paycheck Protection Program

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $65.9 million in gross PPP loans outstanding and deferred processing fees outstanding of $1.4 million. The processing fees are deferred and recognized over the contractual life of the loan, or accelerated at forgiveness, as an adjustment of yield using the interest method. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized $1.7 million and $6.4 million, respectively, of processing fees in loans and leases interest income in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income. The SBA provides a guaranty to the lender of 100% of principal and interest, unless the lender violated an obligation under the agreement. Since loan losses are expected to be immaterial, if at all due to the government guarantee, management excluded the PPP loans from the allowance for loan and lease losses calculation. These short-term loans were funded primarily through a combination of excess cash held at the Federal Reserve and from an increase in in-market deposits.

Deferral Requests

The Company provided loan modifications deferring payments for certain borrowers impacted by COVID-19 who were current in their payments at the inception of the Company’s loan modification program. Excluding gross PPP loans, as of September 30, 2021, the Company had five deferred loans outstanding in an aggregate amount of $24.1 million, or 1.2% of gross loans and leases, compared to $131.5 million, or 7.2% of gross loans and leases as of September 30, 2020. Of the $24.1 million of deferred loans outstanding, $23.5 million is related to three hospitality credits which received principal deferrals and are accruing and current on interest payments. Management believes there will be no losses associated with these credits.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS

Certain financial information provided in this release is determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (United States) (“GAAP”). Although the Company’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a greater understanding of its business, these measures are not necessarily comparable to similar measures that may be presented by other companies.

TANGIBLE BOOK VALUE

“Tangible book value per share” is a non-GAAP measure representing tangible common equity divided by total common shares outstanding. “Tangible common equity” itself is a non-GAAP measure representing common stockholders’ equity reduced by intangible assets, if any. The Company’s management believes that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in period-to-period changes in book value per common share exclusive of changes in intangible assets. The information provided below reconciles tangible book value per share and tangible common equity to their most comparable GAAP measures.

TANGIBLE COMMON EQUITY TO TANGIBLE ASSETS

“Tangible common equity to tangible assets” is defined as the ratio of common stockholders’ equity reduced by intangible assets, if any, divided by total assets reduced by intangible assets, if any. The Company’s management believes that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the relative changes from period to period in common equity and total assets, each exclusive of changes in intangible assets. The information below reconciles tangible common equity and tangible assets to their most comparable GAAP measures.

EFFICIENCY RATIO & PRE-TAX, PRE-PROVISION ADJUSTED EARNINGS

“Efficiency ratio” is a non-GAAP measure representing non-interest expense excluding the effects of the SBA recourse provision, impairment of tax credit investments, losses or gains on foreclosed properties, amortization of other intangible assets and other discrete items, if any, divided by operating revenue, which is equal to net interest income plus non-interest income less realized gains or losses on securities, if any. “Pre-tax, pre-provision adjusted earnings” is defined as operating revenue less operating expense. In the judgment of the Company’s management, the adjustments made to non-interest expense and non-interest income allow investors and analysts to better assess the Company’s operating expenses in relation to its core operating revenue by removing the volatility that is associated with certain one-time items and other discrete items. The information provided below reconciles the efficiency ratio and pre-tax, pre-provision adjusted earnings to its most comparable GAAP measure.

ADJUSTED NET INTEREST MARGIN

“Adjusted Net Interest Margin” is a non-GAAP measure representing net interest income excluding the fees in lieu of interest and other recurring but volatile components of net interest margin divided by average interest-earning assets less average net PPP loans, if any, and other recurring but volatile components of average interest-earning assets. Fees in lieu of interest are defined as prepayment fees, asset-based loan fees, non-accrual interest, and loan fee amortization. In the judgment of the Company’s management, the adjustments made to net interest income allow investors and analysts to better assess the Company’s net interest income in relation to its core client-facing loan and deposit rate changes by removing the volatility that is associated with these recurring but volatile components. The information provided below reconciles the net interest margin to its most comparable GAAP measure.
