LOS ANGELES, October 30, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AMERICAN BUSINESS BANK (OTCQX: AMBZ) today reported net income of $10.2 million or $1.10 per fully diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 compared to $9.3 million or $1.01 per fully diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, and $13.3 million or $1.44 per fully diluted share for the quarter ending September 30, 2022, representing an increase of 9% and a decline of 23%, respectively. This decline is a result of an increase in the cost of deposits and higher average borrowings. For the third quarter of 2023, net income associated with the PPP program totaled $13 thousand or $0.00 per fully diluted share compared to $251 thousand or $0.03 per fully diluted share for the third quarter of 2022.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $32.6 million or $3.53 per fully diluted share, a decline of $2 million or 6%, from the $34.6 million net income or $3.77 per fully diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net income associated with the PPP program totaled $105 thousand or $0.01 per fully diluted share compared to $2.8 million or $0.31 per fully diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
"Despite the challenging interest rate and liquidity environments, both net interest margin and earnings increased over the prior quarter. Importantly, relationship deposits increased significantly during a period of challenges for the industry due to the consistency and discipline of the Bank’s strategy. As of quarter end, total deposits exceeded the balances of June 30, 2023 by $249 million and exceeded the balances of December 31, 2022 by $112 million. This is a notable accomplishment as these new deposits were derived from the same typical sources as always that reflect our marketplace. Borrowing is down significantly since the end of June and we have a strong deposit pipeline of new customers for the remainder of the year. During the last two quarters our deposit growth has outpaced our loan growth and we expect this trend to continue to maintain and enhance our strong liquidity position. These efforts will result in the moderation of our cost of deposits especially as we wean ourselves from higher paying deposit accounts over time.
"In light of our enviable credit culture and history, we continually monitor the loan portfolio for negative market trends. The previous labor disruption by the writers and ongoing strike by the actors has caused concerns for businesses related to the entertainment industry. With limited direct exposure to production companies, we are closely monitoring customers that provide services to the industry which represent 1% of total loans.
"It feels as though over the last several years we have had to navigate different types of turmoil, and the time between events has shortened. The team has weathered the storms, delivered profitability and has exceeded my expectations. The Bank’s business model has been tested and the results are very positive. I’m proud of serving the community as we celebrate the 25 year Anniversary of the Bank this month" commented Leon Blankstein, ABB’s CEO and Director.
For the quarter ending September 30, 2023, net interest income was $30.3 million, a 5% increase over the second quarter of 2023. Interest income on loans increased by $1.1 million due to loan growth and higher interest rates. Interest expense decreased primarily due to a decline of $3.4 million in interest expense on borrowings commensurate with lower balances offset by an increase in interest expense on deposits of $2.9 million commensurate with higher rates and balances. For the quarter ending September 30, 2023, the cost of deposits was 1.0% representing an increase of 0.27% compared to the quarter ending June 30, 2023.
The provision for loan losses was $0.8 million in the quarter, a decrease from the prior quarter. The provision was based on loan growth and a $0.4 million increase in the reserve for unfunded loan commitments mainly due to a reduction in line utilization. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.10% at September 30, 2023 compared to 1.09% as of June 30, 2023.
Net Interest Margin
Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2023 increased to 3.12% from 2.99% for the second quarter of 2023 primarily due to higher loan yields, an increase in average non-interest bearing deposits and a decline in average borrowings. Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2023 decreased to 3.12% from 3.40% for the third quarter of 2022 primarily due to increases in the cost of deposits and in average borrowings. As of September 30, 2023, 65% of the loan portfolio was fixed rate with a weighted average remaining life of 79 months. Of the variable rate loans, approximately 40% are indexed to prime of which $324 million are adjustable within 90 days of a change in prime. For the month of September 2023, the net interest margin was 3.16% with a cost of deposits of 1.08%.
Net Interest Income
For the quarter ended September 30, 2023, net interest income increased by $1.6 million, or 6%, compared to the second quarter of 2023 primarily due to a change in the mix of liabilities to lower cost deposits from higher cost short-term borrowings. For the quarter ended September 30, 2023, net interest income decreased by $2.1 million, or 6%, compared to the third quarter of 2022. The decrease compared to prior year quarter is primarily due to a change in the mix of liabilities from lower cost deposits to higher cost short-term borrowings.

The provision for credit losses was $0.8 million for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2023. The provision for the third quarter was based on an increase in loan balances and a decline in line utilization resulting in higher reserves for unfunded loan commitments.
Non-Interest Income
The decrease in non-interest income compared to the prior quarter and compared to the prior year quarter is primarily due to a decline in the valuation of COLI policies that are invested in mutual funds. In 2023, the Bank sold SBA loans to realize gains to offset losses on the sale of investment securities.
Non-Interest Expense
For the quarter ending September 30, 2023, total non-interest expense increased $0.5 million compared to the prior quarter and $1.5 million compared to the prior year quarter. The increase compared to the prior quarter is primarily due to an increase in professional services for recruiting. The increase compared to the prior year quarter is primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits and professional services. The efficiency ratio increased to 55% for the third quarter of 2023 compared to 54% for the second quarter of 2023 and 45% for the third quarter of 2022.
There were 235 full time equivalent employees at September 30, 2023 compared to 211 a year ago and 231 at June 30, 2023. Most of the increase in FTE is in the back office commensurate with the increase in customers. The Bank has 42 relationship managers in eight offices representing an increase of one from both a year ago and the prior quarter.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, non-interest expense increased $5.7 million or 13% compared to the same period a year ago, mainly due to increases in salaries and employee benefits.
Mark Christian joined the Bank as EVP, Chief Operations Officer on September 18, 2023. Prior to joining the Bank, Mark worked in the same role at InBank, and at Pacific Western Bank for over 20 years.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate was 28.2% for quarter ended September 30, 2023, 27.6% for quarter ended June 30, 2023, 27.0% for the year ended December 31, 2022 and is estimated to be between 27.0%-28.5% for 2023.
Balance Sheet
For the quarter ended September 30, 2023, total loans increased $12 million, or 0.5% compared to the prior quarter. The majority of this growth was in non owner-occupied commercial real estate (CRE) loans of which the largest was to fund a community shelter for housing. Commercial and industrial (C&I) loans decreased by $15 million mainly as a result of a reduction in line utilization. At September 30, 2023, the utilization rate for the Bank’s commercial lines of credit decreased to 24% from 26% at June 30, 2023.

Total investment securities declined 3%, during the third quarter of 2023 to $1.19 billion including $572 million or 44% in held-to-maturity (HTM) securities based on book value. As of September 30, 2023, the duration of the available-for-sale (AFS) securities portfolio increased to 5.8 years from 5.6 years as of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022. Accumulated other comprehensive loss on AFS securities increased to $93.5 million as of September 30, 2023 from $78.7 million as of June 30, 2023 as market rates relevant to securities pricing increased. The duration on the held-to-maturity portfolio, which holds primarily municipal securities, is 7.6 years. As of September 30, 2023, the unrealized after tax loss on HTM securities was $90 million.
During the third quarter of 2023, deposits grew steadily throughout the quarter increasing by $249 million or 8% to $3.5 billion. The majority of growth came from existing customers as well as new relationships. The Bank has not lost any relationships due to the recent turbulence in the banking industry. Since January 1, 2023, new deposit relationships have totaled approximately $135 million in deposits from 138 new clients. The Bank’s off-balance sheet products of treasury securities held for clients declined by $21 million during the third quarter of 2023 to $247 million. The Bank has no brokered deposits.
During the third quarter of 2023, total assets decreased $28.5 million, or 0.7%, total loans increased $11.6 million, or 0.5%, total deposits increased by $249 million, or 8%, and borrowings declined by $280 million.
The Bank has increased its borrowing capability since March 31, 2023 by pledging additional securities under the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) Term Funding Program. Under this program, the FRB discount window and loans pledged at the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, the Bank has $1.8 billion in borrowing capacity as of September 30, 2023.
At September 30, 2023, the tangible common equity ratio was 7.21%, benefitting from year to date net income and adoption of CECL ($2.7 million) as compared to year end.

| Classified as a % of total Loans | 0.20 | % | 0.25 | % | |||
During the third quarter, non-performing assets (NPAs) decreased by $0.4 million to $5.3 million mainly due to two paid off loan relationships. As of September 30, 2023, NPAs have a $392 thousand allowance on individually evaluated loans related to five C&I non-performing loan relationships of which the majority have a partial guarantee by the state of California or the SBA. Criticized loans reflect an overall deterioration in contractors impacted by the rains earlier in the year while labor and material costs increased. The construction industry related loans represent 14% of the loan portfolio.
The loan portfolio has approximately 1% in office collateral of which the majority is owner-occupied, substantially all are three stories or under and are all located in suburban markets.

The allowance for credit losses for loans increased to $27.6 million during the third quarter of 2023 primarily as a result of an increase in loan growth. There were $15,000 in charge offs in the third quarter of 2023 compared to $23,000 during the prior year. The Bank has one $233 thousand restructured loan involving a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. The Bank adopted CECL as of January 1, 2023, thus 2022 was under a different accounting method.
