First Business Bank Reports Third Quarter 2023 Net Income of $9.7 Million


First Business Financial Services, Inc. (the "Company", the "Bank", or "First Business Bank") (Nasdaq:FBIZ) reported quarterly net income available to common shareholders of $9.7 million, or earnings per share of $1.17 on a diluted basis. This compares to net income available to common shareholders of $8.1 million, or $0.98 per share, in the second quarter of 2023 and $10.6 million, or $1.25 per share, in the third quarter of 2022.

"First Business Bank again delivered exceptional double-digit loan and in-market deposit growth during the third quarter, which supports our long-term objectives of revenue expansion and deepening client relationships," said Corey Chambas, Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to diversify our drivers of profitability, including client deposit initiatives to grow treasury management sales and tax credit opportunities with commercial real estate clients, which have effectively lowered our tax rate while also benefiting the communities where we live and serve. With bottom line earnings up nearly 20% from the second quarter, we are pleased to have generated 13% annualized growth in tangible book value per share, a key measure of shareholder value."

"Solid strategic planning and outstanding execution have allowed us to grow both loans and deposits in excess of 10% over the last several years," Chambas added. "Our recent completion of a $15 million subordinated debt offering bolstered our capacity to continue pursuing quality loan and deposit growth. We continue to evaluate loan sale strategies, and we expect overall loan growth to moderate in 2024 as we manage to our long-term target of 10%."

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.

Calculation is annualized.

Third Quarter 2023 Compared to Second Quarter 2023

Net interest income increased $849,000, or 3.1%, to $28.6 million.

The Bank reported a provision expense of $1.8 million, compared to $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2023. The third quarter provision expense included increases of $1.3 million in net specific reserves, $817,000 due to exceptional loan growth, net charge-offs of $478,000, and qualitative factor changes of $506,000. This expense was partially offset by a $1.4 million reduction in general reserve due to an improved economic outlook in our model forecast compared to the prior period. Similar to the second quarter, the increase in specific reserves, charge-offs, and qualitative factors was primarily related to the Equipment Finance and SBA Lending loan pools, which management believes is consistent with the cyclical nature of these commercial lending niches.

Non-interest income increased $1.1 million, or 14.3%, to $8.4 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 other recurring, but volatile, components of average interest-earning assets.

Non-interest expense increased $1.2 million, or 5.3%, to $23.2 million, while operating expense increased $1.3 million, or 5.8%, to $22.9 million.

Income tax expense decreased $443,000, or 17.6%, to $2.1 million. The effective tax rate was 17.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 23.2% for the linked quarter. Both periods benefited from net tax credits of $797,000 and $150,000 in the current and linked quarters, respectively. Based on expected earnings and future tax credit investments, the Company expects to report an effective tax rate between 21% and 22% for 2023 and between 20% and 21% for 2024.

Total period-end loans and leases receivable increased $89.4 million, or 13.4% annualized, to $2.764 billion. Management expects loan growth to moderate to our long term target of 10% in future quarters. Additionally, management is evaluating loan sale and participation strategies as a means of adding to and further diversifying fee income. The average rate earned on average loans and leases receivable was 7.06%, up 20 basis points from 6.86% in the prior quarter.

Total period-end in-market deposits increased $115.5 million, or 22.3% annualized, to $2.189 billion, compared to $2.074 billion. The average rate paid was 2.97%, up 41 basis points from 2.56% in the prior quarter.

Period-end wholesale funding, including FHLB advances, brokered deposits, and deposits gathered through internet deposit listing services, decreased $8.6 million, or 4.4% annualized, to $782.2 million.

Non-performing assets increased $1.9 million to $17.7 million, or 0.52% of total assets, up from 0.48% in the prior quarter driven by Equipment Finance loans within the C&I portfolio. We continue to expect full repayment of the one ABL loan that defaulted during the second quarter of 2023. Excluding the ABL loan, non-performing assets totaled $8.1 million, or 0.24% of total assets in the current quarter and $4.9 million, or 0.15% of total assets in the linked quarter. The increase in the Equipment Finance pool, for which defaults and liquidations are not atypical, was due to a cyclical increase in past-due balances.

The allowance for credit losses, including unfunded credit commitments reserve, increased $1.3 million, or 4.5%, as increases in specific reserves, the general reserve from loan growth, and qualitative factors were partially offset by a decrease in the general reserve due to an improved economic outlook in our model forecast. The allowance for credit losses, including unfunded credit commitment reserves, as a percent of total gross loans and leases was 1.12% compared to 1.11% in the prior quarter.

Third Quarter 2023 Compared to Third Quarter 2022

Net interest income increased $2.7 million, or 10.5%, to $28.6 million.

The Company reported a provision expense of $1.8 million, compared to $12,000 in the third quarter of 2022. The prior year period provision benefited from net recoveries.

Non-interest income of $8.4 million increased by $233,000, or 2.8%, from $8.2 million in the prior year period.

Non-interest expense increased $3.2 million, or 15.8%, to $23.2 million. Operating expense increased $3.0 million, or 15.1%, to $22.9 million.

Total period-end loans and leases receivable increased $433.3 million, or 18.6%, to $2.764 billion.

Total period-end in-market deposits grew $260.0 million, or 13.5%, to $2.189 billion, and the average rate paid increased 236 basis points to 2.97%. The increase in in-market deposits was principally due to a $317.9 million and $124.6 million increase in interest bearing transaction accounts and certificates of deposits, respectively. This increase was partially offset by a $134.1 million and $48.3 million decrease in non-interest bearing deposit accounts and money market accounts, respectively.

Period-end wholesale funding increased $246.1 million to $782.2 million.

Non-performing assets increased to $17.7 million, or 0.52% of total assets, compared to $3.8 million, or 0.13% of total assets, driven by one loan in the ABL portfolio and Equipment Finance loans within the C&I portfolio. Excluding the one ABL loan, which defaulted during the second quarter of 2023, non-performing assets totaled $8.1 million, or 0.24% of total assets.

The allowance for credit losses, including unfunded commitment reserves, increased $6.9 million to $31.0 million, compared to $24.1 million due to loan growth, an increase in specific reserves, and a change in accounting standard. The allowance for credit losses as a percent of total gross loans and leases was 1.12%, compared to the allowance for loan losses of 1.04% under the incurred loss model.

Share Repurchase Program Update

As previously announced, effective January 27, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase by the Company of shares of its common stock with a maximum aggregate purchase price of $5.0 million, effective January 31, 2023 through January 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had repurchased a total of 65,112 shares for approximately $2.0 million at an average cost of $30.72 per share. The Company expects to continue its pause of the repurchase program, instead allocating capital to support continued exceptional balance sheet growth.

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" ("TCE") 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. Adjusted TCE ratio is defined as TCE adjusted for net fair value adjustments of financial assets and liabilities. For more information on fair value adjustments please refer to Note 19 - Fair Value Disclosures in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. 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 repossessed assets, 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 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.
