Earnings for the fourth quarter were impacted by the release of allowance for loan losses of $5.7 million. The after-tax impact of the release on basic and diluted earnings per share was $0.38 and $0.35, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2021.

“MVB’s fourth quarter and record earnings for 2021 reflect the diversity of our tech-forward business model, as well as our strong positioning for the future,” said Larry F. Mazza, Chief Executive Officer, MVB Financial. “The transformation of our ‘best-in-class’ funding profile continues, as noninterest-bearing deposits now represent 47% of MVB Bank’s total deposit funding, up from 8% when we pivoted our company seven years ago. At the same time, our loan growth initiatives have come to fruition against the backdrop of a strengthening economy and rising interest rates, leaving our highly-liquid balance sheet very well-positioned, highlighted on one side by strong low-cost funding, and on the other by an increasingly diverse loan growth engine.”

Mazza added, “Other recent highlights include substantial gains recognized from our Fintech investment portfolio, a core component of our business in which we not only provide banking services to Fintechs, but also build and invest in them as well. 2021 marked the successful completion of our MVB 3.0 three-year strategic plan, in which we exceeded our performance goals. We now look to implement our new three-year plan, called ‘MVB F1,’ the details of which we look forward to discussing at our Investor Conference in Las Vegas on March 14 and 15, 2022.”

INCOME STATEMENT

On a fully tax-equivalent basis, net interest margin for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 was 3.28%, an increase of three basis points versus the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and a decrease of 16 basis points versus the quarter ended December 31, 2020. Please see the table below for a reconciliation between net interest margin and net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP measure. The tax-equivalent adjustments impacting net interest income were $0.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, $0.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and $0.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020.

Interest income increased $2.6 million, or 13%, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and increased $3.7 million, or 19%, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The tax-equivalent yield on commercial loans increased 45 basis points compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The decreases of 158 and 95 basis points in the yield on real estate loans and investments, respectively, drove the 24 basis point decrease in the tax-equivalent yield on earning assets compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2020.

Interest expense increased $0.2 million, or 11%, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and decreased $0.1 million, or 7%, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The increase compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2021 was the result of an increase of $0.3 million in interest on subordinated debt. Despite an increase in average deposits of $227.5 million during the quarter, interest on deposits decreased $0.1 million during the quarter, as NIB deposits grew as a percentage of total deposits and cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased.

MVB Bank's average NIB deposits increased by $239.6 million from the quarter ended September 30, 2021, maintaining a 19 basis point favorable spread on the tax-equivalent net interest margin for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, compared to a 16 basis point favorable spread for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. An increase in MVB Bank’s average NIB deposits of $406.0 million from the quarter ended December 31, 2020 helped to maintain a 19 basis point favorable spread on the tax-equivalent net interest margin for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, compared to a 18 basis point favorable spread for the same period in 2020.

Noninterest income totaled $14.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $7.4 million, or 34%, from the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and a decrease of $2.0 million, or 12%, from the quarter ended December 31, 2020.

The $7.4 million decrease in noninterest income from the quarter ended September 30, 2021 was due primarily to the gain on sale of branches of $10.8 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

The $2.0 million decrease in noninterest income from the quarter ended December 31, 2020 was primarily due to decreases in equity method investment income of $7.7 million and gain on sale of equity securities of $3.5 million, offset by increases in holding gain on equity securities of $1.8 million, compliance consulting income of $2.1 million, payment card and service charge income of $1.3 million, gain on sale of portfolio loans of $1.1 million and other operating income of $2.4 million.

Noninterest expense totaled $29.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $3.3 million, or 13%, from the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and an increase of $8.2 million, or 39%, from the quarter ended December 31, 2020.

The $3.3 million increase in noninterest expense from the quarter ended September 30, 2021 was due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $1.6 million, primarily driven by incentive compensation and new hires to further build-out the Fintech vertical at Victor Technologies, Inc. (“Victor”),as well as an increase in professional fees of $1.2 million. Victor makes it faster and more efficient for entities to launch a Fintech program. Its technology simplifies integration for Fintech companies and offers risk tools to banks to help them conduct due diligence, risk assessments, onboarding and oversight of their Fintech clients.

The $8.2 million increase in noninterest expense from the quarter ended December 31, 2020 was primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits of $5.8 million and professional fees of $1.4 million.

The efficiency ratio was 80.7% for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, compared to 62.9% and 61.0%% for the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, as a result of our ongoing expansion of our risk management and operations teams in support of Fintech initiatives .

BALANCE SHEET

Loan balances grew $105.7 million as compared to September 30, 2021 and $416.1 million as compared to December 31, 2020. Included in loans are PPP loans totaling $131.7 million at December 31, 2021, a decrease of $15.6 million, or 11%, from September 30, 2021, and an increase of $49.7 million, or 61%, from December 31, 2020.

The tax-equivalent yield on loans, including PPP loans, was 4.64% for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, an increase of 39 basis points from the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and a decrease of seven basis points from the quarter ended December 31, 2020.

Deposits totaled $2.38 billion as of December 31, 2021, a decrease of $21.3 million, or 1%, from September 30, 2021 and an increase of $395.2 million, or 20%, from December 31, 2020. With NIB deposits as a percentage of total deposits at 47% as of December 31, 2021, the Company’s strategy to evolve MVB Bank’s deposit mix by replacing high-cost deposits with NIB deposits has proved to be successful and viable long-term.

CAPITAL

There was no significant change in regulatory ratios quarter over quarter. The Community Bank Leverage Ratio was 11.6% and 12.0% as of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, respectively. MVB Bank’s Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 15.8% and 15.7% as of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, respectively. The Bank’s Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 16.7% and 16.9% as of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

ASSET QUALITY

Changes to the outstanding balances of the loan portfolios, the level of recognized charge-offs and the resulting historical loss rates and adjustments to the risk grading of loans within the portfolio are all contributing factors in the provision for loan losses. Nonperforming loans totaled $17.7 million, or 0.9% of total loans, as of December 31, 2021, compared to 1.0% of total loans as of September 30, 2021 and 0.9% of total loans as of December 31, 2020. Criticized loans as a percentage of total loans were 5.4%, a decrease of 118 basis points, or 18%, from September 30, 2021, and a decrease of 413 basis points, or 2%, from December 31, 2020.

The release of allowance for loan losses totaled $5.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, compared to a provision for loan losses of $0.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and a provision for loan losses of $0.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The $5.7 million release was driven by a $2.6 million release allocated to a single loan, as well as improvements in allocation rates, portfolio risk grades and economic and business factors.

Allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.0% as of December 31, 2021, a decrease of 45 basis points from September 30, 2021 and a decrease of 80 basis points from December 31, 2020. Excluding PPP loans, allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.1% as of December 31, 2021.

There were $1.3 million net charge-offs for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, compared to $0.1 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and $0.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020.

1 Non-accrual loans are included in total loan balances, lowering the effective yield for the portfolio in the aggregate.

2 In order to make pre-tax income and resultant yields on tax-exempt loans and investment securities comparable to those on taxable loans and investment securities, a tax-equivalent adjustment has been computed using a Federal tax rate of 21% for the periods presented, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. See the reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure following this table.
