First Business Bank Reports Fourth Quarter 2022 Net Income of $9.9 Million

-- Loan growth, net interest margin expansion, and strong asset quality support continued tangible book value growth --

First Business Financial Services, Inc. (the “Company”, the “Bank”, or “First Business Bank”) (Nasdaq:FBIZ) reported quarterly net income available to common shareholders of $9.9 million, or $1.18 diluted earnings per share. This compares to net income available to common shareholders of $10.6 million, or $1.25 per share, in the third quarter of 2022 and $8.6 million, or $1.01 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2021. For the full year 2022, the Company reported net income available to common shareholders of $40.2 million, or $4.75 per share, compared to $35.8 million, or $4.17 per share, in 2021.

“Excellent execution across our commercial lending businesses continued through the fourth quarter, highlighted by 20% annualized loan growth,” Chief Executive Officer Corey Chambas said. “The impact of rising rates and strong balance sheet management, contributed to record net interest margin of 4.15%. We believe our core net interest margin will remain relatively stable in the near-term given the current interest rate environment. We bolstered our funding position with solid in-market deposit expansion, along with the use of wholesale deposits as part of our long-held strategy to match-fund our fixed rate loans.” Chambas added, “This important component of our interest rate risk management strategy resulted in favorable margin expansion compared to peer banks. Outstanding execution led to growth in tangible book value per share of 9% for the year, which compares very favorably to the industry. We enter 2023 with expectations for double-digit loan, deposit, and revenue growth, driving strong earnings performance.”

Quarterly Highlights

  • Robust Loan Growth. Loans, excluding net Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans, grew $114.2 million, or 19.6% annualized, from the third quarter of 2022 and $230.4 million, or 10.4%, from the fourth quarter of 2021, reflecting balanced growth across the Company’s commercial and industrial (“C&I”) and commercial real estate (“CRE”) portfolios.
  • Strong Deposit Growth. Total deposits grew to $2.168 billion, increasing 15.5% annualized from the linked quarter and 10.7% from the fourth quarter of 2021. In-market deposits grew to $1.966 billion, up $36.7 million, or 7.6% annualized, from the linked quarter.
  • Record Net Interest Income. Net interest income grew to a record $27.5 million, increasing $1.6 million, or 6.1%, from the linked quarter and $6.5 million, or 31.2%, from the prior year quarter. This was driven by a combination of 11.6% annualized increase in average loans and leases as well as a record net interest margin of 4.15%.
  • Exceptional Asset Quality. Continued positive asset quality trends resulted in non-performing assets of $3.8 million, measuring a historically low of 0.13% of total assets and improving from 0.25% of total assets on December 31, 2021.
  • Tangible Book Value Growth. The Company’s strong earnings generation produced a 17.0% annualized increase in tangible book value per share compared to the linked quarter and 8.6% compared to the prior year quarter.

Calculation is annualized.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Compared to Third Quarter 2022

Net interest income increased $1.6 million, or 6.1%, to $27.5 million.

  • Net interest income growth was driven by an increase in both average loans and leases and in fees in lieu of interest combined with net interest margin expansion. Average loans and leases receivable increased $67.5 million, or 11.6% annualized, to $2.384 billion. Fees in lieu of interest, which can vary from quarter to quarter based on client-driven activity, totaled $1.3 million, compared to $807,000 in the prior quarter. Excluding fees in lieu of interest and interest income from PPP loans, net interest income increased $1.1 million, or 17.0% annualized.
  • The yield on average interest-earning assets increased 87 basis points to 5.79% from 4.92%. Excluding average net PPP loans, PPP loan interest income, and fees in lieu of interest, the yield earned on average interest-earning assets increased 79 basis points to 5.59% from 4.80%.
  • The rate paid for average interest-bearing, in-market deposits increased 113 basis points to 2.01% from 0.88%. The rate paid for average total bank funding increased 78 basis points to 1.67% from 0.89%. Total bank funding is defined as total deposits plus Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances. The daily average effective federal funds rate increased 147 basis points compared to the linked quarter, which equates to a total bank funding beta of 53.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2022.
  • Net interest margin was 4.15%, up 14 basis points compared to 4.01% in the linked quarter. Adjusted net interest margin1 was 3.94%, up 5 basis points compared to 3.89% in the linked quarter. Net interest margin expansion was due to an increase in fees of lieu of interest and the beta on interest earning assets exceeding the total bank funding beta.
  • The Bank maintains an asset-sensitive balance sheet and ended the quarter positioned for net interest income to continue to benefit from rising rates. However, the Bank anticipates deposit betas will continue to rise at a greater rate, and adjusted net interest margin may begin to decline at a gradual pace in coming quarters.

The Bank reported a provision expense of $702,000, compared to $12,000 in the third quarter of 2022.

  • The provision for loan and lease losses expense in the fourth quarter of 2022 was primarily due to net charge offs of $615,000 and an increase of $982,000 in the general reserve due to loan growth, partially offset by a $930,000 decrease in the general reserve due to a decrease in the historical loss factor as elevated losses during the Great Recession fall outside the model look-back period.
  • The Bank adopted ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments- Credit Losses (Topic 326)", which is often referred to as CECL, on January 1, 2023.

Non-interest income decreased $1.2 million, or 14.9%, to $7.0 million.

  • Private Wealth and Retirement assets (“Private Wealth”) fee income decreased $48,000, or 1.8% to $2.6 million. Private Wealth assets under management and administration measured $2.660 billion at December 31, 2022, up $167.4 million from the third quarter, with a majority of the growth occurring late in the fourth quarter.
  • Gains on sale of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans decreased $463,000, or 63.3%, to $269,000. Premiums on the sale of SBA loans sold decreased compared to prior quarter and the Company elected to hold a higher proportion of SBA loans on its balance sheet in the current interest rate environment.
  • Commercial loan swap fee income increased $415,000, or 121.7%, to $756,000. Swap fee income can vary from period to period based on loan activity and the interest rate environment.
  • Service charges on deposits decreased $227,000, or 22.3%, to $791,000, driven by an increase in the earnings credit rate commensurate with the rising rate environment.
  • Other fee income decreased $934,000 to $1.7 million, compared to $2.7 million in the third quarter. The decrease was primarily due to lower returns on the Company’s investments in mezzanine funds and lower income in the equipment financing business line. The fourth quarter decrease was partially offset by the recognition of a $809,000 bank-owned life insurance claim. Income on mezzanine funds can vary from period to period based on changes in the value of underlying investments.

Non-interest expense increased $1.1 million, or 5.7%, to $21.2 million, while operating expense increased $733,000, or 3.7%, to $20.7 million.

____________________

1 Adjusted net interest margin is a non-GAAP measure representing net interest income excluding 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 and other recurring, but volatile, components of average interest-earning assets.

  • Compensation expense was $15.3 million, reflecting an increase of $450,000, or 3.0%, from the linked quarter due to a $347,000 adjustment to the annual cash incentive bonus program accrual driven by above-target current year performance, as well as expanded hiring to support the Bank’s growth plans. The Bank’s compensation philosophy is to provide base salaries competitive with the market. To stay competitive in the tight labor market, the Company increased its base salaries consistent with 2021. Average full-time equivalents (FTEs) for the fourth quarter of 2022 were 336, up three from 333 in the linked quarter.
  • Equipment expense increased $106,000, or 41.9%, to $359,000 from the linked quarter primarily due to one-time costs associated with an office relocation.
  • Occupancy expense increased $103,000, or 18.2%, to $669,000 from the linked quarter primarily due to an office relocation and one-time costs associated with building repairs.
  • Other non-interest expense increased $354,000, or 62.2%, to $923,000 from the linked quarter primarily due to a non-recurring contribution to the First Business Charitable Foundation totaling $809,000 during the fourth quarter partially offset by a recourse release of $322,000 and a swap credit valuation benefit of $153,000.

Income tax expense decreased $815,000, or 25.3%, to $2.4 million. The effective tax rate was 19.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to 22.9% for the linked quarter. The three months ended December 31, 2022 benefited from low income housing tax credits and a state return amendment. The Company expects to report an effective tax rate of 21-22% for 2023.

Total period-end loans and leases receivable increased $112.4 million, or 19.3% annualized, to $2.443 billion. Excluding net PPP loans, total period-end loans and leases receivable increased $114.2 million, or 19.6% annualized.

  • Commercial real estate loans increased by $57.0 million, or 15.4% annualized, to $1.542 billion, compared to $1.485 billion. Growth spanned all commercial real estate categories, led by increases in non-owner occupied and multi-family loans.
  • C&I loans increased $52.2 million, or 26.4% annualized, to $841.2 million, compared to $789.0 million. Excluding PPP loans, C&I loans increased $54.0 million, or 27.6% annualized, due to growth across products and geographies.

Total period-end in-market deposits increased $36.7 million, or 7.6% annualized, to $1.966 billion, compared to $1.929 billion. The average rate paid was 1.43%, up 82 basis points from 0.61% in the third quarter.

Period-end wholesale funding, including FHLB advances, brokered deposits, and deposits gathered through internet deposit listing services, increased $82.5 million to $618.6 million.

  • Wholesale deposits increased $43.9 million to $202.2 million, compared to $158.3 million as the Bank continued to replace FHLB advances with wholesale deposits. The increase in wholesale funding is consistent with the Company’s long-held philosophy to manage interest rate risk by utilizing the most efficient and cost-effective source of wholesale funds to match-fund our fixed-rate loan portfolio. The average rate paid on wholesale deposits increased 120 basis points to 3.66% and the weighted average original maturity increased to 2.1 years from 0.3 years.
  • FHLB advances increased $38.6 million to $416.4 million. The average rate paid on FHLB advances increased 20 basis points to 2.21% and the weighted average original maturity decreased to 3.7 years from 4.8 years.

Non-performing assets were $3.8 million, or 0.13% of total assets in both periods of comparison.

The allowance for loan and lease losses increased $87,000, or 0.4%, as increases in the general reserve from loan growth and net charge-offs were partially offset by a decrease in the general reserve due to a change in loss factors derived from the historical look-back period. The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percent of total gross loans and leases was 0.99% compared to 1.04% in the third quarter.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Compared to Fourth Quarter 2021

Net interest income increased $6.5 million, or 31.2%, to $27.5 million.

  • The increase in net interest income primarily reflects an increase in average gross loans and leases and net interest margin expansion, partially offset by lower fees in lieu of interest. Fees in lieu of interest decreased from $1.7 million to $1.3 million, primarily due to a $889,000 reduction in PPP loan fee amortization. Excluding fees in lieu of interest and interest income from PPP loans, net interest income increased $7.0 million, or 36.9%. Excluding net PPP loans, average gross loans and leases increased $255.1 million, or 12.0%.
  • Net interest margin increased 76 basis points to 4.15% from 3.39%. Adjusted net interest margin increased 71 basis points to 3.94% from 3.23%.
  • The yield on average interest-earning assets measured 5.79% compared to 3.81%. Excluding fees in lieu of interest, PPP loan interest income, and net PPP loans, the yield on average interest-earning assets measured 5.59%, compared to 3.60%. This increase in yield was primarily due to the increase in short-term market rates and the reinvestment of cash flows from the securities and fixed rate loan portfolios in a rising rate environment.
  • The rate paid for average interest-bearing in-market deposits increased 183 basis points to 2.01% from 0.18%. The rate paid for average total bank funding increased 124 basis points to 1.67% from 0.33%.

The Company reported a provision expense of $702,000, compared to a provision benefit of $508,000 in the fourth quarter of 2021 primarily due to an increase in net charge-offs in the current quarter and improvement in subjective factors in the prior year quarter.

Non-interest income of $7.0 million decreased by $596,000, or 7.9%, from $7.6 million in the prior year period.

  • Private Wealth fee income decreased $304,000, or 10.6%, to $2.6 million, due to a decline in market values. Private Wealth assets under management and administration measured $2.660 billion at December 31, 2022, down $260.7 million, or 8.9%.
  • Gain on sale of SBA loans decreased $773,000, or 74.2%, to $269,000. Premiums on the sale and notional value of SBA loans sold decreased compared to prior year quarter, as the Company elected to hold a higher proportion of SBA loans on its balance sheet in the current interest rate environment.
  • Service charges on deposits decreased $232,000, or 22.7%, to $791,000. The reasons for the decrease are consistent with the explanations discussed above in the linked quarter analysis.
  • Loan fees of $847,000 increased by $168,000, or 24.7%, primarily due to an increase in C&I lending activity.
  • Other fee income increased $473,000, or 37.4%, to $1.7 million, due to the recognition of a $809,000 bank owned life insurance death benefit, partially offset by lower returns on the Company’s investments in mezzanine funds. Income on mezzanine funds can vary from period to period based on changes in the value of underlying investments.

Non-interest expense increased $3.6 million, or 20.7%, to $21.2 million. Operating expense increased $3.0 million, or 17.1%, to $20.7 million.

  • Compensation expense increased $2.8 million, or 22.7%, to $15.3 million. Average FTEs increased 12% to 336 in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to 301 in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in compensation expense was mainly due to an increase in average FTEs, annual merit increases and promotions, and an increase in incentive compensation due to outstanding company performance.
  • Full year 2022 compensation included a $6.7 million annual incentive compensation accrual, which exceeded the Company’s target payout by $2.5 million.
  • Professional fees increased $277,000, or 29.7%, to $1.2 million, primarily due to a general increase in other professional consulting services associated with various projects and an increase in audit expenses.
  • Equipment expense increased $136,000, or 61.0%, to $359,000. The reasons for the increase in equipment expense are consistent with the explanations discussed above in the linked quarter analysis.
  • Occupancy expense increased $118,000, or 21.4%, to $669,000. The reasons for the increase in occupancy expense are consistent with the explanations discussed above in the linked quarter analysis.
  • Other non-interest expense increased $94,000, or 11.3%, to $923,000 primarily due to a non-recurring charitable contribution totaling $809,000 during the fourth quarter partially offset by a reduction in expenses related to swap credit valuations and recourse provision.

Total period-end loans and leases receivable increased $203.7 million, or 9.1%, to $2.443 billion. Excluding net PPP loans, total period-end loans and leases receivable increased $230.4 million, or 10.4%, to $2.443 billion.

  • C&I loans increased $110.4 million, or 15.1% to $841.2 million. Excluding PPP loans, C&I loans increased $137.7 million, or 19.6%, to $840.6 million due to growth across categories and geographies.
  • CRE loans increased $87.3 million, or 6.0%, to $1.542 billion, due to increases in most CRE categories.

Total period-end in-market deposits increased $37.7 million, or 2.0%, to $1.966 billion, and the average rate paid increased 130 basis points to 1.43%. The increase in in-market deposits was principally due to a $99.7 million increase in certificates of deposit, partially offset by a $55.9 million decline in money market accounts.

Period-end wholesale funding increased $220.2 million to $618.6 million.

  • Wholesale deposits increased $172.6 million to $202.2 million, as the Bank utilized more wholesale deposits in lieu of short-term FHLB advances. The average rate paid on brokered certificates of deposit increased 263 basis points to 3.66% and the weighted average original maturity decreased to 2.1 years from 3.8 years.
  • FHLB advances increased $47.6 million to $416.4 million. The average rate paid on FHLB advances increased 91 basis points to 2.21% and the weighted average original maturity decreased to 3.7 years from 5.9 years.

Non-performing assets decreased to $3.8 million, or 0.13% of total assets, compared to $6.5 million, or 0.25% of total assets.

The allowance for loan and lease losses decreased $106,000 to $24.2 million, compared to $24.3 million. The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percent of total gross loans and leases was 0.99%, compared to 1.09%.

Paycheck Protection Program

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $554,000 in gross PPP loans outstanding and deferred processing fees outstanding of $48,000. 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 and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized $3,000 and $509,000 of PPP processing fees in interest income, respectively, compared to $892,000 and $7.3 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021. The SBA provides a guaranty to the lender of 100% of principal and interest unless the lender violated an obligation under the agreement.

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.
