· Issued by The Bancorp, Inc. via Business Wire

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

Highlights

  • The Bancorp reported net income of $49.0 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to net income of $30.4 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, or a 68% increase in income per diluted share.
  • Return on assets and equity for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 amounted to 2.6% and 27%, respectively, compared to 1.7% and 19%, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 (all percentages “annualized”).
  • Net interest income increased 60% to $87.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $54.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Net interest income increases reflected the impact of continuing Federal Reserve rate increases on the Bancorp’s variable rate loans and securities.
  • Net interest margin amounted to 4.83% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to 3.17% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, and 4.67% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
  • Loans, net were $5.27 billion at June 30, 2023, compared to $5.49 billion at December 31, 2022 and $4.75 billion at June 30, 2022. Those changes reflected a decrease of 2% quarter over linked quarter and an increase of 11% year over year.
  • Gross dollar volume (“GDV”), representing the total amounts spent on prepaid and debit cards, increased $4.38 billion, or 15%, to $32.78 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 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 10% to $24.6 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022.
  • Small business loans (“SBL”), including those held at fair value, grew 10% year over year to $804.0 million at June 30, 2023, and 2% quarter over linked quarter. That growth excludes Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan balances which amounted to $3.8 million and $10.3 million at June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.
  • Direct lease financing balances increased 13% year over year to $657.3 million at June 30, 2023, and 1% quarter over linked quarter.
  • At June 30, 2023, real estate bridge loans of $1.83 billion had grown 4% compared to the $1.75 billion balance at March 31, 2023, and 65% compared to the June 30, 2022 balance of $1.11 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 15% year over year and decreased 8% quarter over linked quarter to $2.06 billion at June 30, 2023.
  • The average interest rate on $6.60 billion of average deposits and interest-bearing liabilities during the second quarter of 2023 was 2.37%. Average deposits of $6.48 billion for the second quarter of 2023 reflected an increase of 4% from the $6.25 billion of average deposits for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
  • 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 $2.8 billion as of June 30, 2023, as well as access to other liquidity.
  • As of June 30, 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 10.42%, 14.97%, 15.47% and 14.97%, 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 June 30, 2023 was $13.74 per share compared to $11.55 per common share at June 30, 2022, an increase of 19%. Increases resulting from retained earnings were partially offset by reductions in the market value of securities available for sale, which are recognized through equity.
  • The Bancorp repurchased 828,727 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $30.17 per share during the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

CEO and President Damian Kozlowski commented, “The Bancorp continued to produce record core profits and exemplar profitability in the second quarter. The outlook remains positive for 2023 and 2024 and we expect increasing profitability and earnings per share, while navigating a difficult market environment for most banks. We are maintaining guidance at $3.60 a share, without including the impact of anticipated share buy backs of $25 million per quarter in 2023.”

(1)SBLOC are collateralized by marketable securities, while IBLOC are collateralized by the cash surrender value of insurance policies. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, IBLOC loans amounted to $806.1 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%, based on third-party business appraisals, 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 $403,000 and $2.6 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Estimated overdraft charge-offs and recoveries are reflected in the ACL 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 $8.0 million in 504 Program first mortgages with an origination date LTV of 50-60%, and $4.0 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.
