The Bancorp, Inc. Reports First Quarter Financial Results

WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Bancorp, Inc. (“The Bancorp” or the “Company” or “we” or “our”) (NASDAQ: TBBK), a financial holding company, today reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2025.

Highlights

  • The Bancorp reported net income of $57.2 million, or $1.19 per diluted share (“EPS”), for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to net income of $56.4 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, or an EPS increase of 12%. While net income increased 1% between these periods, outstanding shares were reduced as a result of increased repurchases that occurred during 2024.
  • Return on assets and return on equity for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, amounted to 2.5% and 29%, respectively, compared to 3.0% and 28%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 (all percentages “annualized”).
  • Net interest income decreased 3% to $91.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to $94.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Certain loan fees on consumer fintech loans are recorded as non-interest income. Such non-interest income amounted to $3.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and $0 for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
  • Net interest margin amounted to 4.07% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to 5.15% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, and 4.55% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.
  • Loans, net of deferred fees and costs were $6.38 billion at March 31, 2025, compared to $5.46 billion at March 31, 2024 and $6.11 billion at December 31, 2024. Those changes reflected an increase of 4% quarter over linked quarter and an increase of 17% year over year.
  • Gross dollar volume (“GDV”), representing the total amounts spent on prepaid and debit cards, increased $6.71 billion, or 18%, to $44.65 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The increase reflected 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 13% to $30.8 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. Consumer credit fintech fees amounted to $3.6 million for the first quarter 2025.
  • Small business loans (“SBLs”), including those held at fair value, amounted to $1.01 billion at March 31, 2025, or 12% higher year over year, and 3% higher quarter over linked quarter, excluding the impact of loans with related secured borrowings.
  • Direct lease financing balances increased 1% year over year to $710.0 million at March 31, 2025, and increased 1% from December 31, 2024.
  • Real estate bridge loans of $2.21 billion increased 5% compared to a $2.11 billion balance at December 31, 2024, and increased 5% compared to the March 31, 2024 balance of $2.10 billion. These real estate bridge loans consist entirely of rehabilitation loans for apartment buildings.
  • Security backed lines of credit (“SBLOC”), insurance backed lines of credit (“IBLOC”), and investment advisor financing loans collectively increased 3% year over year and increased less than 1% quarter over linked quarter to $1.84 billion at March 31, 2025.
  • The average interest rate on $8.44 billion of average deposits and interest-bearing liabilities during the first quarter of 2025 was 2.28%. Average deposits of $8.31 billion for the first quarter of 2025 increased $1.81 billion, or 28% over first quarter 2024.
  • As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s Tier 1 capital to average assets (leverage), Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, total capital to risk-weighted assets and common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets ratios were 8.93%, 13.94%, 14.86% and 13.94%, respectively, compared to well-capitalized minimums of 5%, 8%, 10% and 6.5%, respectively. The Bancorp Bank, National Association also remains well capitalized under banking regulations.
  • Book value per common share at March 31, 2025, was $17.66 compared to $15.63 per common share at March 31, 2024, an increase of 13%.
  • The Bancorp repurchased 684,445 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $54.79 per share during the quarter ended March 31, 2025. As a result of share repurchases, outstanding shares at March 31, 2025 amounted to 47.0 million, compared to 52.3 million shares at March 31, 2024, or a reduction of 10%.
  • The Bancorp emphasizes safety and soundness, and its balance sheet has a risk profile enhanced by the special nature of the collateral supporting its loan niches, related underwriting, and the characteristics of its funding sources, including those highlighted in the bullets below. Those loan niches and funding sources have contributed to increased earnings levels, even during periods in which markets have experienced various economic stresses.
  • The vast majority of The Bancorp’s funding is comprised of FDIC-insured and/or small balance accounts, which adjust to only a portion of changes in rates. The Company also has lines of credit with U.S. government sponsored agencies totaling approximately $3.09 billion as of March 31, 2025, as well as access to other forms of liquidity.
  • In its real estate bridge loans (“REBL”) portfolio, the Company has minimal exposure to non-multifamily commercial real estate such as office buildings, and instead has a portfolio largely comprised of rehabilitation bridge loans for apartment buildings. These loans generally have three-year terms with two one-year extensions to allow for the rehabilitation work to be completed and rentals stabilized for an extended period, before being refinanced at lower rates through U.S. Government Sponsored Entities or other lenders. The REBL portfolio consists primarily of workforce housing, which we consider to be working class apartments at more affordable rental rates. Related collateral values should accordingly be more stable than higher rent properties, even in stressed economies. While the macro-economic environment has challenged the multifamily bridge space, the stability of the Company’s REBL portfolio is evidenced by the estimated values of the underlying collateral. The Company’s $2.2 billion REBL portfolio at March 31, 2025, has a weighted average origination date “as is” loan-to-value ratio of 70%, based on third-party appraisals. Further, the weighted average origination date “as stabilized” LTV, which measures the estimated value of the apartments after the rehabilitation is complete may provide even greater protection.
  • As part of the underwriting process, The Bancorp reviews prospective borrowers’ previous rehabilitation experience in addition to overall financial wherewithal. These transactions also include significant borrower equity contributions with required performance metrics. Underwriting generally includes, but is not limited to, assessment of local market information relating to vacancy and rental rates, review of post rehabilitation rental rate assumptions against geo-specific affordability indices, negative news searches, lien searches, visitations by bank personnel and/or designated engineers, and other information sources.
  • Rehabilitation progress is monitored through ongoing draw requests and financial reporting covenants. This generally allows for early identification of potential issues, and expedited action to address on a timely basis.
  • Operations and ongoing loan evaluation are overseen by multiple levels of management, in addition to the REBL team’s experienced professional staff and third-party consultants utilized during the underwriting and asset management process. This oversight includes a separate loan committee specific to REBL, which is comprised of seasoned and experienced lending professionals who do not directly report to anyone on the REBL team. There is also a separate loan review department, a surveillance committee and additional staff which evaluate potential losses under the current expected credit losses methodology (“CECL”), all of which similarly do not report to anyone on the REBL team.
  • SBLOC and IBLOC portfolios are respectively secured by marketable securities and the cash value of life insurance. The majority of SBA 7(a) loans are government guaranteed, while SBA 504 loans are made with 50%-60% LTVs.
  • Additional details regarding our loan portfolios are included in the related tables in this press release, as is the summarization of the earnings contributions of our payments businesses, which further enhances The Bancorp’s risk profile. The Company’s risk profile inherent in its loan portfolios, funding and earnings levels, may present opportunities to further increase stockholder value, while still prudently maintaining capital levels.
  • In the second quarter of 2024, the Company purchased approximately $900 million of fixed rate government sponsored entity backed commercial and residential mortgage securities of varying maturities, with an approximate 5.11% weighted average yield, and estimated weighted average lives of eight years, to reduce its exposure to lower levels of net interest income. Such purchases would also reduce the additional net interest income which will result if the Federal Reserve increases rates. While there are many variables and limitations to estimating exposure to changes in rates, such purchases and continuing fixed rate loan originations are projected to reduce such exposure to modest levels. In prior years, The Bancorp deferred adding fixed rate securities when yields were particularly low, which has afforded the flexibility to benefit from, and secure, more advantageous securities and loan rates.

“The Bancorp earned $1.19 a share in the first quarter of 2025 or a 12% increase in EPS over the first quarter of 2024,” said Damian Kozlowski, CEO of The Bancorp. “While we had some pressure on revenue from rates, it was mitigated by our balance sheet strategy, and the growth of deposits. Fintech Solutions continues to show significant momentum in both GDV (up 18% year-over-year) and fee growth (up 26% year-over-year). We are confirming guidance of $5.25 a share for 2025. EPS guidance does not include the impact of $150 million of authorized stock buybacks in 2025.”

(1) SBLOC loans are collateralized by marketable securities, while IBLOC are collateralized by the cash surrender value of insurance policies. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, IBLOC loans amounted to $535.2 million and $548.1 million, 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 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) Consumer fintech loans consist of $305.3 million of secured credit card loans, with the balance comprised of other short-term extensions of credit.

(4) Includes demand deposit overdrafts reclassified as loan balances totaling $3.3 million and $1.2 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Estimated overdraft charge-offs and recoveries are reflected in the allowance for credit losses and are immaterial.

(5) 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 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 $15 million in 504 Program first mortgages with an origination date LTV of 50%-60%, and $3 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 $4 million of loans sold that do not qualify for true sale accounting.

(1) In the third quarter of 2021, we resumed the origination of bridge loans for multi-family apartment rehabilitation which comprise these categories. Such loans held at fair value were originally intended for sale, but are now being retained on the balance sheet. In addition to “as is” origination date appraisals, on which the weighted average origination date LTVs are based, third-party appraisers also estimated “as stabilized” values, which represents additional potential collateral value as rehabilitation progresses, and units are re-leased at stabilized rental rates. The weighted average origination date “as stabilized” LTV was estimated at 61%.
