AMERICAN BUSINESS BANK (OTCQX: AMBZ) today reported net income of $9.5 million or $1.02 per fully diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 compared to $10.5 million or $1.13 per fully diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, and $9.3 million or $1.01 per fully diluted share for the quarter ending June 30, 2023, representing a decline of 9% and an increase of 2%, respectively.

Net income for the first half of 2024 was $20.0 million or $2.15 per fully diluted share, a decrease of $2.4 million or 11%, from the $22.4 million net income or $2.43 per fully diluted share for the first half of the prior year.

“We are pleased that our customers continue to grow their businesses and provide deposits for the Bank to lend in our community. The deposit growth in the quarter from existing customers was significant, however, some of the deposit inflows were event driven and will not remain in the Bank over the long term. We continue to focus on building an outstanding core deposit franchise to eliminate borrowings and enhance the net interest margin as evidenced as we progressed through the second quarter. We currently have a strong deposit pipeline of new customers and new relationships who joined the Bank recently that will drive growth in the last half of the year. Additionally, the potential for a reduction in interest rates by the Federal Reserve in the last half of the year could relieve some of the upward pressure on the cost of deposits. The key to our success continues to be the generation of new clients and we are well positioned to do so.

“Much has been talked about Commercial Real Estate related to the banking industry. Certainly some have acknowledged that not all commercial real estate is the same. We are proud to provide high touch community banking services to business clients with a conservative risk approach. Our commercial real estate lending is primarily owner-occupied which is not dependent on rent rolls, but reliant on the cash flows of the operating business that occupies the property. Currently, 60% of total loans consist of the C&I and Owner Occupied commercial real estate portfolios. These portfolios highlight our position as the premier relationship-banking franchise for small to mid-size businesses in Southern California.

“The Bank continues to attract new experienced relationship managers. We recently enhanced personnel in a number of offices and are pleased another senior relationship manager joined since the end of June. The addition of experienced relationship managers, although an expense, is an investment in future revenue.

“We continue to deliver superior service and are able to couple that with a return on average assets of 1.02% and a return on average equity of 12.7% for the first six months of the year,” commented Leon Blankstein, ABB’s CEO and Director.

For the quarter ending June 30, 2024, non-interest expense increased $742 thousand compared to the first quarter of 2024 leading to a decline in net income. However, net income in the second quarter of 2024 benefitted from a lower provision for credit losses as compared to the prior quarter and the prior year quarter. The decrease in provision for credit losses was a result of a reduction in the reserve for unfunded loan commitments and $58k of loan recoveries offset by an increase in the allowance for credit losses mainly due to growth in the loan portfolio. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans was 1.11% at June 30, 2024 which is a 1 bps increase compared to March 31, 2024.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net income was lower compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 due to an increase in the cost of deposits offset by a decrease in the cost of borrowings.

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2024 decreased to 3.00% from 3.07% for the first quarter of 2024 primarily due to an increase in average borrowings. Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2024 increased to 3.00% from 2.99% for the second quarter of 2023 primarily due to a decline in average borrowings. As of June 30, 2024, 62% of the loan portfolio was fixed rate with a weighted average remaining life of 72 months. Of the variable rate loans, approximately 45% are indexed to prime of which $399 million are adjustable within 90 days of a change in prime. The net interest margin for the month of June 2024 was 3.05%.

Net Interest Income

For the quarter ended June 30, 2024, net interest income decreased by $0.4 million, or 1%, compared to the first quarter of 2024. The current quarter was negatively impacted by a decline in securities income and an increase in the cost of deposits and borrowings exceeding the increase in interest earned on loans. For the quarter ending June 30, 2024, the cost of deposits was 1.35% representing an increase of 11 bps compared to the quarter ending March 31, 2024.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2024, net interest income increased by $0.3 million, or 1%, compared to the second quarter of 2023. The increase compared to the prior year quarter is primarily due to a decrease in average borrowings. The Loan to Deposit ratio was 75% and 77% as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Provision for Credit Losses

Non-Interest Income

The decrease in non-interest income compared to the prior quarter is primarily due to the loss on the sale of municipal investment securities of $397 thousand. The decrease in non-interest income compared to the prior year quarter is primarily due to a reduction in the gain on sales of SBA loans. In 2023, seasoned SBA loans were sold unlike in 2024 when only current production was sold.

Non-Interest Expense

For the quarter ending June 30, 2024, total non-interest expense increased $0.7 million compared to the prior quarter and increased $0.9 million compared to the prior year quarter. The increase compared to the prior quarter and prior year quarter is primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits due to an increase in full time equivalent employees. The efficiency ratio increased to 55% for the second quarter of 2024 compared to 54% for the first quarter of 2024 and 54% for the second quarter of 2023.

There were 243 full time equivalent employees at June 30, 2024 compared to 231 a year ago and 233 at March 31, 2024. In July of 2024, Mark Christian, EVP/Chief Operations Officer, departed from the Bank. The Bank has 42 relationship managers in eight offices representing no change from a year ago and an increase of two from the prior quarter.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, non-interest expense increased $1.5 million or 4.5% compared to the same period a year ago, mainly due to increases in salaries and employee benefits.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 28.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, 27.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, and 27.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Balance Sheet

For the quarter ended June 30, 2024, total loans increased $28 million, or 1.1% compared to the prior quarter. The majority of this increase was in Commercial and industrial (C&I) loans mainly due to an increase in line utilization. At June 30, 2024, the utilization rate for the Bank’s commercial lines of credit increased to 27% from 26% at March 31, 2024. In addition, Commercial real estate (CRE) loans increased this quarter compared to prior quarter. The increase in construction loans is primarily related to off campus university student housing in greater Los Angeles.

During the second quarter of 2024, non-performing assets (NPAs) decreased by $0.8 million to $6.6 million mainly due to the paydown of two loans. As of June 30, 2024, NPAs have a $211 thousand allowance on individually evaluated loans related to four C&I non-performing loan relationships of which the majority of the loans have a partial guarantee by the state of California or the SBA. The increase in classified loans is mainly due to one owner occupied CRE loan which migrated from the criticized category since the prior quarter.

The loan portfolio has approximately 10% in office collateral of which the majority is owner-occupied, and substantially all are three stories or under and located in suburban markets.

The allowance for credit losses for loans increased to $28.8 million during the second quarter of 2024 primarily as a result of an increase in the loan portfolio.
