TBBK - The Bancorp Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Results and Updates 2024 Guidance

The Bancorp, Inc. ("The Bancorp" or “we”) (NASDAQ: TBBK), a financial holding company, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2023.

Highlights

  • The Bancorp reported net income of $44.0 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to net income of $40.2 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. Excluding the tax effected impact of a $10.0 million provision for credit loss on its only trust preferred security, non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share amounted to $0.95.*
  • Return on assets and equity for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 amounted to 2.4% and 22%, respectively, compared to 2.1% and 24%, respectively, for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 (all percentages “annualized”).
  • Net interest income increased 20% to $92.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to $76.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. Net interest income increases reflected the impact of Federal Reserve rate increases on The Bancorp’s variable rate loans and securities.
  • Net interest margin amounted to 5.26% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to 4.21% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, and 5.07% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.
  • Loans, net of deferred fees and costs were $5.36 billion at December 31, 2023, compared to $5.20 billion at September 30, 2023 and $5.49 billion at December 31, 2022. Those changes reflected an increase of 3% quarter over linked quarter and a decrease of 2% year over year.
  • Gross dollar volume (“GDV”), representing the total amounts spent on prepaid and debit cards, increased $3.84 billion, or 13%, to $33.29 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 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 15% to $25.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022.
  • Small business loans (“SBL”), including those held at fair value, amounted to $896.2 million at December 31, 2023, or 13% higher year over year, and 4% quarter over linked quarter, excluding $28.6 million of loans with related secured borrowings.
  • Direct lease financing balances increased 8% year over year to $685.7 million at December 31, 2023, and 2% quarter over September 30, 2023.
  • At December 31, 2023, real estate bridge loans of $2.00 billion had grown 8% compared to the $1.85 billion balance at September 30, 2023, and 20% compared to the December 31, 2022 balance of $1.67 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 26% year over year and decreased 4% quarter over linked quarter to $1.85 billion at December 31, 2023.
  • The average interest rate on $6.37 billion of average deposits and interest-bearing liabilities during the fourth quarter of 2023 was 2.51%. Average deposits of $6.25 billion for the fourth quarter of 2023 reflected a decrease of 6% from the $6.62 billion of average deposits for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, and a 1% decrease from $6.29 billion of average deposits for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The decreases reflected the planned exit of $200 million of higher cost funds on July 1, 2023. Not included in deposit totals are deposits which are sold to other financial institutions totaling $300.7 million at December 31, 2023.
  • 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 $2.7 billion as of December 31, 2023, as well as access to other liquidity.
  • As of December 31, 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 11.19%, 15.66%, 16.23% and 15.66%, 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 December 31, 2023 was $15.17 compared to $12.46 per common share at December 31, 2022, an increase of 22%.
  • The Bancorp repurchased 664,499 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $37.62 per share during the quarter ended December 31, 2023.

*The Bank purchased a $10.0 million trust preferred security in 2006, which is the only such security in its portfolios. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Bank took a charge for the full amount of the security through a provision for credit loss. The following reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP adjusted net income and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) for the fourth quarter of 2023, adjusts for the impact of that charge.

CEO and President Damian Kozlowski commented, “In 2023, we rode the waves of market turmoil and interest rate hikes and demonstrated the superiority of our rigorous commitment to our business partners, safety and soundness and shareholder advocacy. The strength of our business model and our comprehensive and integrated risk management showed that sound fundamental banking can reduce event risk and create opportunities for exemplar performance even in times of economic dislocations. We are confirming 2024 guidance of $4.25 a share without including the impact of share buybacks of $200 million for the year, or $50 million a quarter.”

(1) SBLOC are collateralized by marketable securities, while IBLOC are collateralized by the cash surrender value of insurance policies. At December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, IBLOC loans amounted to $646.9 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% 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) Includes demand deposit overdrafts reclassified as loan balances totaling $1.7 million and $2.6 million at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Estimated overdraft charge-offs and recoveries are reflected in the allowance for credit losses 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 $4.0 million in 504 Program first mortgages with an origination date LTV of 50-60%, and $8.0 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.

(5) Comprised of $29.0 million of loans sold that do not qualify for true sale accounting.

For SBLOC, we generally lend up to 50% of the value of equities and 80% for investment grade securities. While the value of equities has fallen in excess of 30% in recent years, the reduction in collateral value of brokerage accounts collateralizing SBLOCs generally has been less, for two reasons. First, many collateral accounts are “balanced” and accordingly have a component of debt securities, which have either not decreased in value as much as equities, or in some cases may have increased in value. Second, many of these accounts have the benefit of professional investment advisors who provided some protection against market downturns, through diversification and other means. Additionally, borrowers often utilize only a portion of collateral value, which lowers the percentage of principal to collateral.

Insurance backed lines of credit (IBLOC)

IBLOC loans are backed by the cash value of eligible life insurance policies which have been assigned to us. We generally lend up to 95% of such cash value. Our underwriting standards require approval of the insurance companies which carry the policies backing these loans. Currently, fifteen insurance companies have been approved and, as of December 31, 2023, all were rated A- (Excellent) or better by AM BEST.
