The Company reported net income of $14.6 million, or $0.74 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to net income of $15.7 million, or $0.79 diluted earnings per share, and $12.5 million, or $ 0.63 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively. “Royal Business Bank had a great start to the year as loans held for investment topped $3 billion for the first time, average non-interest bearing deposits increased by 10%, and net interest income grew. As expected, expenses increased due primarily to compensation-related costs, but we expect them to decline next quarter,” said David Morris, Interim President and CEO of RBB Bancorp. “Importantly, despite the recent personnel announcements, our strategy remains intact and continues to be an effective driver of shareholder value. I appreciate the support the Board has given me and look forward to working with the rest of the RBB team to drive the bank forward.” "RBB’s first quarter results demonstrated the strength of the franchise and its ability to generate attractive returns," said Dr. James Kao, Chairman of RBB Bancorp. “The Board appreciates David’s leadership over the last few months and has complete confidence in his ability to effectively lead the bank.” Key Performance Ratios Net income of $14.6 million for the first quarter of 2022 produced an annualized return on average assets ("ROA") of 1.39%, an annualized return on average tangible common shareholders' equity ("ROTCE") of 14.91%, and an annualized return on average shareholders' equity ("ROE") of 12.59%. This compares to an annualized return on average assets of 1.52%, an annualized return on average tangible common shareholders' equity of 15.98%, and an annualized return on average shareholders' equity of 13.45% for the fourth quarter of 2021. The efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2022 was 42.90%, compared to 36.56% for the prior quarter. Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin Net interest income, before provision for loan losses, was $34.5 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $33.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The $1.3 million increase was primarily attributable to higher interest income due to a $167.7 million increase in average earning assets, partially offset by a $43.0 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. Accretion of purchase discounts from prior acquisitions contributed $246,000 to net interest income in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $192,000 in the fourth quarter of 2021. Compared to the first quarter of 2021, net interest income, before provision for loan losses, increased $5.0 million from $29.5 million. The increase was primarily attributable to an $806.9 million increase in average earning assets, partially offset by a $141.1 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. The increases in average earning assets and total deposits were primarily due to increased loan and deposit originations. Net interest margin was 3.49% for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of 6 basis points from 3.43% in the fourth quarter of 2021. Loan discount accretion contributed 2 basis points to the net interest margin in the first quarter of 2022, compared to 2 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2021. Noninterest Income Noninterest income was $2.9 million for the first quarter of 2022, a decrease of $212,000 from $3.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by a $614,000 decrease in gain on sale of loans, partially offset by a $174,000 increase in loan servicing fees and a $169,000 increase in gain on derivatives during the quarter. The Company sold $26.9 million in FNMA qualified mortgage loans for a net gain of $711,000 and sold no non-qualified mortgage loans during the first quarter of 2022.

Noninterest Expense Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2022 was $16.1 million, compared to $13.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The $2.8 million increase was primarily attributable to a $2.6 million increase in salaries and benefit expenses.

In additional there was a $420,000 increase in data processing related expenses, partially offset by $680,000 decrease in legal and professional expense. Noninterest expense increased from $15.8 million in the first quarter of 2021. The $269,000 increase was primarily due to a $201,000 increase in legal and professional expenses and a $123,000 increase in marketing and business promotion expenses, partially offset by a $182,000 decrease in data processing expenses. Income Taxes The effective tax rate was 30.4% for the first quarter of 2022, 30.0% for the fourth quarter of 2021, and 31.1% for the first quarter of 2021.

RBB Bancorp Reports First Quarter Earnings for 2022 By: RBB Bancorp via Business Wire April 25, 2022 at 16:05 PM EDT Conference Call and Webcast Scheduled for Tuesday, April 26, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time/2:00 p.m. Eastern Time First Quarter 2022 Highlights Net income of $14.6 million, or $0.74 diluted earnings per share, decreased $1.1 million, or 6.9%, from the prior quarter and increased $2.2 million, or 17.4%, from the first quarter of 2021 Loans grew by $72.7 million, or 10.0% annualized, from the end of the prior quarter Increased quarterly dividend by 7.7% from last year to $0.14 per share RBB Bancorp (NASDAQ:RBB) and its subsidiaries, Royal Business Bank (“the Bank”) and RBB Asset Management Company (“RAM”), collectively referred to herein as “the Company,” announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The Company reported net income of $14.6 million, or $0.74 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to net income of $15.7 million, or $0.79 diluted earnings per share, and $12.5 million, or $ 0.63 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively. “Royal Business Bank had a great start to the year as loans held for investment topped $3 billion for the first time, average non-interest bearing deposits increased by 10%, and net interest income grew. As expected, expenses increased due primarily to compensation-related costs, but we expect them to decline next quarter,” said David Morris, Interim President and CEO of RBB Bancorp. “Importantly, despite the recent personnel announcements, our strategy remains intact and continues to be an effective driver of shareholder value. I appreciate the support the Board has given me and look forward to working with the rest of the RBB team to drive the bank forward.” "RBB’s first quarter results demonstrated the strength of the franchise and its ability to generate attractive returns," said Dr. James Kao, Chairman of RBB Bancorp. “The Board appreciates David’s leadership over the last few months and has complete confidence in his ability to effectively lead the bank.” Key Performance Ratios Net income of $14.6 million for the first quarter of 2022 produced an annualized return on average assets ("ROA") of 1.39%, an annualized return on average tangible common shareholders' equity ("ROTCE") of 14.91%, and an annualized return on average shareholders' equity ("ROE") of 12.59%. This compares to an annualized return on average assets of 1.52%, an annualized return on average tangible common shareholders' equity of 15.98%, and an annualized return on average shareholders' equity of 13.45% for the fourth quarter of 2021. The efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2022 was 42.90%, compared to 36.56% for the prior quarter. Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin Net interest income, before provision for loan losses, was $34.5 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $33.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The $1.3 million increase was primarily attributable to higher interest income due to a $167.7 million increase in average earning assets, partially offset by a $43.0 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. Accretion of purchase discounts from prior acquisitions contributed $246,000 to net interest income in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $192,000 in the fourth quarter of 2021. Compared to the first quarter of 2021, net interest income, before provision for loan losses, increased $5.0 million from $29.5 million. The increase was primarily attributable to an $806.9 million increase in average earning assets, partially offset by a $141.1 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. The increases in average earning assets and total deposits were primarily due to increased loan and deposit originations. Net interest margin was 3.49% for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of 6 basis points from 3.43% in the fourth quarter of 2021. Loan discount accretion contributed 2 basis points to the net interest margin in the first quarter of 2022, compared to 2 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2021. Noninterest Income Noninterest income was $2.9 million for the first quarter of 2022, a decrease of $212,000 from $3.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by a $614,000 decrease in gain on sale of loans, partially offset by a $174,000 increase in loan servicing fees and a $169,000 increase in gain on derivatives during the quarter. The Company sold $26.9 million in FNMA qualified mortgage loans for a net gain of $711,000 and sold no non-qualified mortgage loans during the first quarter of 2022. This compared to $37.7 million in FNMA qualified mortgage loans sold for a net gain of $1.4 million and no non-qualified mortgage loans during the fourth quarter of 2021. The Company sold $8.3 million in SBA loans during the first quarter of 2022 for a net gain of $463,000, compared to $5.5 million SBA loans sold for a net gain of $436,000 during the fourth quarter of 2021. Compared to the first quarter of 2021, noninterest income decreased by $3.0 million from $5.9 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $2.7 million in gain on sale of loans and a decrease of $294,000 in service charges, fees and other, partially offset by a $333,000 increase in loss on derivatives. Noninterest Expense Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2022 was $16.1 million, compared to $13.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The $2.8 million increase was primarily attributable to a $2.6 million increase in salaries and benefit expenses. In December 2021, we reversed approximately $2 million in bonus accrual for employees and $260,000 in director compensation (in other expenses) as a result of the change to paying executive bonuses and directors bonuses in restricted stock units. In additional there was a $420,000 increase in data processing related expenses, partially offset by $680,000 decrease in legal and professional expense. Noninterest expense increased from $15.8 million in the first quarter of 2021. The $269,000 increase was primarily due to a $201,000 increase in legal and professional expenses and a $123,000 increase in marketing and business promotion expenses, partially offset by a $182,000 decrease in data processing expenses. Income Taxes The effective tax rate was 30.4% for the first quarter of 2022, 30.0% for the fourth quarter of 2021, and 31.1% for the first quarter of 2021. The Company recognized a tax benefit from stock option exercises of $23,000, $215,000 and $56,000 for the first quarter of 2022, the fourth quarter of 2021, and the first quarter of 2021, respectively. Loan Portfolio Loans held for investment, net of deferred fees and discounts, totaled $3.01 billion as of March 31, 2022, an increase of $75.1 million from December 31, 2021, and an increase of $291.3 million from March 31, 2021. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to a $60.0 million increase in single-family residential mortgages and a $43.6 million increase in construction & land development loans, partially offset by a $30.0 million decrease in commercial real estate loans. The increase from March 31, 2021 was primarily due to a $154.9 million increase in commercial real estate loans and a $137.0 million increase in construction & land development loans. During the first quarter of 2022, single-family residential mortgage production was $132.6 million while net payoffs and paydowns were $48.1 million. During the fourth quarter of 2021, single-family residential mortgage production was $137.7 million while payoffs and paydowns were $79.5 million. Mortgage loans held for sale were $3.6 million as of March 31, 2022, a decrease of $2.4 million from $6.0 million at December 31, 2021 and a decrease of $34.1 million from $37.7 million as of March 31, 2021.

During the first quarter of 2022, noninterest-bearing deposits decreased by $131.8 million, interest-bearing non-maturity deposits decreased by $42.6 million, and time deposits decreased by $42.9 million. Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased due to business fluctuations. As of March 31, 2022, there were no brokered CDs, as compared to $2.4 million brokered CDs as of December 31, 2021 and $17.4 million brokered CDs as of March 31, 2021. Compared to March 31, 2021, total deposits increased by $347.0 million, which included a $372.3 million increase in noninterest bearing deposits, partially offset by a $25.3 million decrease in interest-bearing deposits. Asset Quality Nonperforming assets totaled $21.0 million, or 0.52% of total assets at March 31, 2022, compared to $21.0 million, or 0.50% of total assets at December 31, 2021. Nonperforming assets consist of other real estate owned, loans modified under troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”), non-accrual loans, and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest. In the first quarter of 2022, there were $14,000 in net recoveries, compared to net recoveries of $46,000 in the fourth quarter of 2021. The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $366,000 for the first quarter of 2022 which was primarily attributable to loan growth and was a decrease from $635,000 in the prior quarter.

Conference Call and Webcast Scheduled for Tuesday, April 26, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time/2:00 p.m. Eastern Time First Quarter 2022 Highlights Net income of $14.6 million, or $0.74 diluted earnings per share, decreased $1.1 million, or 6.9%, from the prior quarter and increased $2.2 million, or 17.4%, from the first quarter of 2021 Loans grew by $72.7 million, or 10.0% annualized, from the end of the prior quarter Increased quarterly dividend by 7.7% from last year to $0.14 per share
RBB Bancorp (NASDAQ:RBB) and its subsidiaries, Royal Business Bank (“the Bank”) and RBB Asset Management Company (“RAM”), collectively referred to herein as “the Company,” announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The Company reported net income of $14.6 million, or $0.74 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to net income of $15.7 million, or $0.79 diluted earnings per share, and $12.5 million, or $ 0.63 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively. “Royal Business Bank had a great start to the year as loans held for investment topped $3 billion for the first time, average non-interest bearing deposits increased by 10%, and net interest income grew. As expected, expenses increased due primarily to compensation-related costs, but we expect them to decline next quarter,” said David Morris, Interim President and CEO of RBB Bancorp. “Importantly, despite the recent personnel announcements, our strategy remains intact and continues to be an effective driver of shareholder value. I appreciate the support the Board has given me and look forward to working with the rest of the RBB team to drive the bank forward.” "RBB’s first quarter results demonstrated the strength of the franchise and its ability to generate attractive returns," said Dr. James Kao, Chairman of RBB Bancorp. “The Board appreciates David’s leadership over the last few months and has complete confidence in his ability to effectively lead the bank.” Key Performance Ratios Net income of $14.6 million for the first quarter of 2022 produced an annualized return on average assets ("ROA") of 1.39%, an annualized return on average tangible common shareholders' equity ("ROTCE") of 14.91%, and an annualized return on average shareholders' equity ("ROE") of 12.59%. This compares to an annualized return on average assets of 1.52%, an annualized return on average tangible common shareholders' equity of 15.98%, and an annualized return on average shareholders' equity of 13.45% for the fourth quarter of 2021. The efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2022 was 42.90%, compared to 36.56% for the prior quarter. Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin Net interest income, before provision for loan losses, was $34.5 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $33.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The $1.3 million increase was primarily attributable to higher interest income due to a $167.7 million increase in average earning assets, partially offset by a $43.0 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. Accretion of purchase discounts from prior acquisitions contributed $246,000 to net interest income in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $192,000 in the fourth quarter of 2021. Compared to the first quarter of 2021, net interest income, before provision for loan losses, increased $5.0 million from $29.5 million. The increase was primarily attributable to an $806.9 million increase in average earning assets, partially offset by a $141.1 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. The increases in average earning assets and total deposits were primarily due to increased loan and deposit originations. Net interest margin was 3.49% for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of 6 basis points from 3.43% in the fourth quarter of 2021. Loan discount accretion contributed 2 basis points to the net interest margin in the first quarter of 2022, compared to 2 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2021. Noninterest Income Noninterest income was $2.9 million for the first quarter of 2022, a decrease of $212,000 from $3.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by a $614,000 decrease in gain on sale of loans, partially offset by a $174,000 increase in loan servicing fees and a $169,000 increase in gain on derivatives during the quarter. The Company sold $26.9 million in FNMA qualified mortgage loans for a net gain of $711,000 and sold no non-qualified mortgage loans during the first quarter of 2022. This compared to $37.7 million in FNMA qualified mortgage loans sold for a net gain of $1.4 million and no non-qualified mortgage loans during the fourth quarter of 2021. The Company sold $8.3 million in SBA loans during the first quarter of 2022 for a net gain of $463,000, compared to $5.5 million SBA loans sold for a net gain of $436,000 during the fourth quarter of 2021. Compared to the first quarter of 2021, noninterest income decreased by $3.0 million from $5.9 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $2.7 million in gain on sale of loans and a decrease of $294,000 in service charges, fees and other, partially offset by a $333,000 increase in loss on derivatives. Noninterest Expense Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2022 was $16.1 million, compared to $13.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The $2.8 million increase was primarily attributable to a $2.6 million increase in salaries and benefit expenses. In December 2021, we reversed approximately $2 million in bonus accrual for employees and $260,000 in director compensation (in other expenses) as a result of the change to paying executive bonuses and directors bonuses in restricted stock units. In additional there was a $420,000 increase in data processing related expenses, partially offset by $680,000 decrease in legal and professional expense. Noninterest expense increased from $15.8 million in the first quarter of 2021. The $269,000 increase was primarily due to a $201,000 increase in legal and professional expenses and a $123,000 increase in marketing and business promotion expenses, partially offset by a $182,000 decrease in data processing expenses. Income Taxes The effective tax rate was 30.4% for the first quarter of 2022, 30.0% for the fourth quarter of 2021, and 31.1% for the first quarter of 2021. The Company recognized a tax benefit from stock option exercises of $23,000, $215,000 and $56,000 for the first quarter of 2022, the fourth quarter of 2021, and the first quarter of 2021, respectively. Loan Portfolio Loans held for investment, net of deferred fees and discounts, totaled $3.01 billion as of March 31, 2022, an increase of $75.1 million from December 31, 2021, and an increase of $291.3 million from March 31, 2021. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to a $60.0 million increase in single-family residential mortgages and a $43.6 million increase in construction & land development loans, partially offset by a $30.0 million decrease in commercial real estate loans. The increase from March 31, 2021 was primarily due to a $154.9 million increase in commercial real estate loans and a $137.0 million increase in construction & land development loans. During the first quarter of 2022, single-family residential mortgage production was $132.6 million while net payoffs and paydowns were $48.1 million. During the fourth quarter of 2021, single-family residential mortgage production was $137.7 million while payoffs and paydowns were $79.5 million. Mortgage loans held for sale were $3.6 million as of March 31, 2022, a decrease of $2.4 million from $6.0 million at December 31, 2021 and a decrease of $34.1 million from $37.7 million as of March 31, 2021.

During the first quarter of 2022, noninterest-bearing deposits decreased by $131.8 million, interest-bearing non-maturity deposits decreased by $42.6 million, and time deposits decreased by $42.9 million. Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased due to business fluctuations. As of March 31, 2022, there were no brokered CDs, as compared to $2.4 million brokered CDs as of December 31, 2021 and $17.4 million brokered CDs as of March 31, 2021. Compared to March 31, 2021, total deposits increased by $347.0 million, which included a $372.3 million increase in noninterest bearing deposits, partially offset by a $25.3 million decrease in interest-bearing deposits. Asset Quality Nonperforming assets totaled $21.0 million, or 0.52% of total assets at March 31, 2022, compared to $21.0 million, or 0.50% of total assets at December 31, 2021. Nonperforming assets consist of other real estate owned, loans modified under troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”), non-accrual loans, and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $366,000 for the first quarter of 2022 which was primarily attributable to loan growth and was a decrease from $635,000 in the prior quarter. The allowance for loan losses totaled $33.3 million, or 1.11% of loans held for investment at March 31, 2022, compared with $32.9 million, or 1.12%, of total loans at December 31, 2021.
