First Business Bank Reports Record Net Income of $9.7 Million

-- Loan growth, strong fee income, and provision benefit drive record performance --

-- Non-performing assets decline 29% --

First Business Financial Services, Inc. (the “Company”, the “Bank”, or “First Business Bank”) (Nasdaq:FBIZ) reported record net income of $9.7 million, or $1.12 diluted earnings per share, in the first quarter 2021, compared to $6.1 million or $0.71 in the fourth quarter of 2020, and $3.3 million or $0.38 in the first quarter of 2020.

“Record earnings for the quarter and exceptional growth across our company are reflections of First Business Bank’s commitment to helping our clients succeed, and consistently expanding our client base,” President and Chief Executive Officer Corey Chambas said. “This performance is a direct result of our long record of investing in innovative niche financial services offerings, technology, and talent as well as our active focus on asset quality improvement. We believe we are very well-positioned for sustained double-digit loan and revenue growth and continued asset quality improvement.”

Quarterly Highlights

  • Record Earnings. Net income hit a record $9.7 million for the quarter. While boosted by the impact of asset quality improvement and net loan recoveries, ongoing fundamental performance was also very strong. Driven by continued loan and fee income growth, top-line revenue was $28.1 million, a 20% increase from this time last year, and pre-tax, pre-provision return on average assets was 1.65% for the quarter.
  • Continued Differentiated Loan Growth. Loans, excluding SBA Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans, grew $46.9 million, or 10% annualized in the first quarter. This continued the exceptional growth from 2020 driven by investments tied to our strategic plan to expand niche lending business lines and enhance and expand the business development teams across all our business lines and geographies.
  • Asset Quality Continues to Improve. Non-performing assets declined 29% to $19.0 million, the second consecutive quarterly reduction of more than 25%. Over this two-quarter period, non-performing assets have declined $17.6 million from the 2020 peak in the third quarter of $36.7 million. The decrease in non-accrual loans for the quarter was principally due to loan payoffs and loans returning to accrual status.
  • Fee Income. Fee income grew an impressive 23% annualized for the quarter and again exceeded our goal of 25% or more of total revenue. Private wealth continued to lead the way with fees earned on a record $2.4 billion in assets under management and administration. In addition, gain on sale of Small Business Administration loans exceeded $1 million again this quarter.
  • PPP Update. Our participation in PPP has been a tremendous benefit to our clients and we are actively participating in the second phase of the program. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had $272.7 million in gross PPP loans outstanding and deferred processing fees outstanding of $5.1 million yet to be recognized into income. During the quarter, $2.2 million of processing fees were recognized.
  • Tangible Book Value Increases. Tangible Book Value (“TBV”) per share grew by 11% annualized in the quarter. This is a continuation of strong and consistent TBV growth. TBV has increased for 18 consecutive years, at a compound annual growth rate of 8% over that time.

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.

COVID-19 Update

Paycheck Protection Program

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had $272.7 million in gross PPP loans outstanding and deferred processing fees outstanding of $5.1 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 months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized $2.2 million 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. As loan losses are expected to be immaterial, if any at all, due to the guaranty, management excluded the PPP loans from the allowance for loan and lease losses calculation. Management funded these short-term loans 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 March 31, 2021, the Company had deferred loans outstanding of $13.0 million, or 0.7% of gross loans and leases compared to $323.2 million, or 18.6% of gross loans and leases as of June 30, 2020.

Excluding net PPP loans.

(2)

Includes $40.2 million and $48.9 million in loans secured by commercial real estate as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

(3)

Includes $21.3 million and $7.7 million in fully collateralized asset-based loans as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had no meaningful direct exposure to the energy sector, airline industry or retail consumer, and does not participate in Shared National Credits.

Because of the significant uncertainties related to the ultimate duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on our clients and prospects, and on the national and local economies as a whole, there can be no assurances as to how the crisis may ultimately affect the Company’s loan portfolio.

First Quarter 2021 Compared to Fourth Quarter 2020

Net interest income decreased $1.6 million, or 7.3%, to $20.9 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 $3.1 million, compared to $4.7 million. Excluding fees in lieu of interest, net interest income increased $15,000, or 0.1%.
  • Average loans and leases receivable, excluding net PPP loans in both periods of comparison, increased $37.3 million, or 7.8% annualized, to $1.941 billion.
  • The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased 29 basis points to 3.93% from 4.22%. Excluding average net PPP loans, the PPP loan interest income of $603,000, and the aforementioned fees in lieu of interest, the yield earned on average interest-earning assets decreased 7 basis points to 3.69% from 3.76%. The rate paid for average total bank funding decreased five basis points to 0.40% from 0.45%. Total bank funding is defined as total deposits plus Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances, Federal Reserve Discount Window advances, and Federal Reserve PPPLF advances.
  • Net interest margin decreased 25 basis points to 3.44% from 3.69%. Adjusted net interest margin, excluding fees in lieu of interest and other recurring but volatile components of net interest margin, decreased to 3.20% from 3.25%.

Provision for loan and lease losses decreased $6.4 million to a net benefit of $2.1 million.

  • The decrease in provision for loan and lease losses included $2.5 million in net recoveries.
  • Changes in the general reserve increased the provision for loan and lease losses $1.1 million principally due to qualitative factor changes in our commercial real estate portfolio related to the rate of growth in the segment and $557,000 due to loan growth. These increases were partially offset by a $984,000 reduction in general reserve due to historical loss rate updates from net recovery activity.

Non-interest income increased $396,000, or 5.8%, to $7.2 million.

  • Private wealth management fee income increased $199,000, or 9.0% to $2.4 million. Private wealth and trust assets under management and administration measured a record $2.387 billion at March 31, 2021, up $137.5 million, or 24.5% annualized, primarily due to growth from new and existing clients and increased equity market values.
  • Commercial loan interest rate swap fee income decreased $394,000 to $684,000 compared to $1.1 million. Interest rate swaps continue to be an attractive product for the Company’s commercial borrowers, although associated fee income can vary from period to period based on client demand and the interest rate environment in any given quarter.
  • Gains on sale of SBA loans decreased $222,000 to $1.1 million compared to $1.3 million. The Company’s pipeline remains strong and management believes the gain 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.
  • Other fee income increased $650,000 to $1.6 million compared to $914,000. The increase is primarily due to returns above the historical average from the Company’s investments in mezzanine funds.

Non-interest expense decreased $321,000, or 1.8%, to $17.3 million.

  • Compensation expense increased $512,000, or 4.2%, to $12.7 million. The increase reflects new hires, annual merit increases, and payroll taxes on the annual cash bonus plan paid during the quarter.
  • Other non-interest expense decreased $658,000 to $404,000. The decrease was principally due to a reduction in credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”) related to the commercial loan interest rate swap program. The CVA represents a change in the market value of the Company’s commercial loan interest rate swaps to estimate potential borrower credit risk within the portfolio. The CVA can vary from period to period based on the size of the portfolio, credit metrics, and the interest rate environment in any given quarter. The CVA was $291,000 and $461,000 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Total period-end loans and leases receivable, excluding net PPP loans in both periods of comparison, increased $46.9 million, or 9.8% annualized, to $1.968 billion.

  • Commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans, excluding net PPP loans, increased $9.7 million, or 7.6% annualized, led by an increase in asset-based loans. Management believes the timely investments in producers in our counter cyclical commercial banking products, such as asset-based lending and accounts receivable financing, have positioned C&I lending to increase throughout the current economic cycle.
  • Commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans increased $33.4 million, or 9.8% annualized, with growth coming from non-owner occupied and multi-family properties. Recent above-average CRE growth comes as established commercial lenders hired over the past 18 months were able to add high-quality relationships to the Bank.

Total period-end in-market deposits increased $54.2 million to $1.737 billion, or 12.9% annualized, and the average rate paid decreased four basis points to 0.16%.

  • Transaction accounts increased $81.5 million, while certificates of deposits and money market accounts decreased $17.9 million and $9.4 million, respectively.
  • Client preferences continued to shift away from term deposits due to the low interest rate environment, while management attributes the continued increase in transaction accounts to successful business development efforts and our existing clients’ preference for safety and soundness amid the economic uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Period-end wholesale funding, including FHLB advances, Federal Reserve Discount Window advances, Federal Reserve PPPLF advances, brokered deposit, and deposits gathered through internet deposit listing services, increased $14.3 million to $581.3 million.

  • Wholesale deposits decreased $7.0 million to $165.5 million, due to contractual runoff. The average rate paid on wholesale deposits decreased 20 basis points to 0.76% and the weighted average original maturity of brokered certificates of deposit decreased to 3.9 years from 4.1 years.
  • FHLB advances increased $21.3 million to $415.8 million. The average rate paid on FHLB advances increased six basis points to 1.36% and the weighted average original maturity increased to 5.7 years from 5.5 years.

Non-performing assets decreased $7.6 million, or 28.6%, to $19.0 million, or 0.73% of total assets, compared to $26.7 million, or 1.04% of total assets. The reduction in non-performing assets was principally due to loan payoffs and loans returning to accrual status. Excluding net PPP loans, non-performing assets were 0.81% of total assets, compared to 1.14% as of December 31, 2020.

The allowance for loan and lease losses increased $461,000, or 1.6%, due to an increase in the general reserve from loan growth and qualitative factor changes related to the rate of growth in our commercial real estate portfolio, partially offset by historical loss rate updates from net recovery activity. While a degree of uncertainty remains in the economy due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we will take a measured approach to releasing general reserves moving forward.

  • The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percent of total gross loans and leases was 1.29% compared to 1.33%.
  • Excluding net PPP loans, the allowance for loan and leases losses as a percent of total gross loans and leases was 1.47%, compared to 1.48% as of December 31, 2020.

First Quarter 2021 Compared to First Quarter 2020

Net interest income increased $3.8 million, or 22.4%, to $20.9 million.

  • The increase in net interest income reflects an increase in average gross loans and leases and an increase in fees collected in lieu of interest, partially offset by adjusted net interest margin compression. Fees in lieu of interest, which can vary from quarter to quarter, totaled $3.1 million compared to $798,000. Excluding fees in lieu of interest and interest income from PPP loans, net interest income increased $923,000, or 5.7%. Excluding net PPP loans, average gross loans and leases increased $207.0 million, or 11.9%.
  • The yield on average interest-earning assets measured 3.93% compared to 4.72%. Excluding fees collected in lieu of interest and PPP loan interest income, the yield on average interest-earning assets excluding net PPP loans was 3.69%, compared to 4.56%. The decline in yields was primarily due to the decrease in LIBOR and Prime and related impact on variable-rate loans, in addition to the renewal of fixed-rate loans and reinvestment of security cash flows at historically low interest rates. The rate paid for average total bank funding decreased 84 basis points to 0.40% from 1.24%. The average target federal funds rate decreased 115 basis points during this time period of comparison.
  • Net interest margin was 3.44% in both periods of comparison. Adjusted net interest margin decreased 12 basis points to 3.20% from 3.32%.

Non-interest income increased $781,000, or 12.2%, to $7.2 million.

  • Gains on sale of SBA loans increased $813,000 to $1.1 million compared to $265,000.
  • Private wealth management fee income increased $295,000, or 14.0%, to $2.4 million. Private wealth and trust assets under management and administration measured a record $2.387 billion at March 31, 2021, up $722.1 million, or 43.4%.
  • Other fee income increased $507,000, or 48.0%, to $1.6 million compared to $1.1 million. The increase is primarily due to returns above the historical average from the Company’s investments in mezzanine funds.
  • Commercial loan interest rate swap fee income decreased $997,000 to $684,000 compared to $1.7 million.

Non-interest expense increased $1.2 million, or 7.3%, to $17.3 million. Operating expense increased $1.6 million, or 9.8%, to $17.4 million.

  • Compensation expense increased $1.6 million, or 14.5%, to $12.7 million. Average full-time equivalent employees increased to 305, up 6.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to 286 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The increase reflects new hires, annual merit increases, and a $494,000 increase in the annual corporate incentive plan accrual compared to a reduction to the same accrual during the first quarter of 2020 due to uncertainty amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Computer software expense increased $226,000 to $1.1 million compared to $889,000. The increase was principally due to investments in technology platforms to improve the client experience and continued strategic focus on scaling the Bank to efficiently execute our growth strategy.
  • FDIC insurance expense was $362,000, an increase of $154,000. Management expects FDIC insurance expense to increase commensurate with future asset growth.
  • Other non-interest expense decreased $412,000, or 50.5%, to $404,000. The decrease was principally due to a decrease in business-related travel expenses due to the Company’s adherence to COVID-19 restrictions and a reduction in credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”) related to the commercial loan interest rate swap program. There was no CVA as of March 31, 2020.

Total period-end loans and leases receivable, excluding net PPP loans in both periods of comparison, increased $224.1 million, or 12.9%, to $1.968 billion.

  • C&I loans, excluding net PPP loans, decreased $3.2 million, or 0.6%.
  • CRE loans increased $232.1 million, or 20.0%, generally driven by an increase across all CRE categories.

Total period-end in-market deposits increased $353.9 million, or 25.6%, to $1.737 billion and the average rate paid decreased 80 basis points to 0.16%.

  • Transaction accounts and money market accounts increased $413.6 million and $22.2 million, respectively.
  • Certificates of deposits decreased $81.9 million as client preferences continued to shift towards more liquid products due to the low interest rate environment.

Period-end wholesale funding increased $76.0 million to $581.3 million.

  • Wholesale deposits increased $48.7 million to $165.5 million mainly due to adding non-maturity brokered deposits at a favorable rate compared to alternative funding sources. Excluding these deposits, wholesale deposits decreased as the existing portfolio runoff is replaced by in-market deposits and lower cost FHLB advances to match-fund long-term fixed rate loans and fund loan growth. The average rate paid on brokered certificates of deposit decreased 181 basis points to 0.76% and the weighted average original maturity decreased to 3.9 years from 4.8 years.
  • FHLB advances increased $27.3 million to $415.8 million. The average rate paid on FHLB advances decreased 55 basis points to 1.36% and the weighted average original maturity decreased to 5.7 years from 5.9 years.

Non-performing assets decreased to $19.0 million, or 0.73% of total assets, compared to $29.6 million, or 1.35% of total assets. Excluding net PPP loans, non-performing assets were 0.81% of total assets as of March 31, 2021.

The allowance for loan and lease losses increased 27.4% primarily due to an increase in the general and specific reserve driven by the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percent of total gross loans and leases was 1.29% compared to 1.30%.
  • Excluding net PPP loans, the allowance for loan and leases losses as a percent of total gross loans and leases was 1.47% as of March 31, 2021.

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.
