Bridgewater Bancshares, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2022 Net Income of $12.3 Million, $0.39 Diluted Earnings Per Common Share

Bridgewater Bancshares, Inc. (Nasdaq: BWB) (the Company), the parent company of Bridgewater Bank (the Bank), today announced net income of $12.3 million for the first quarter of 2022, a 2.0% decrease over net income of $12.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, and a 14.9% increase over net income of $10.7 million for the first quarter of 2021. Earnings per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2022 were $0.39, flat compared to $0.39 per diluted common share for the fourth quarter of 2021, and a 4.7% increase compared to $0.37 per diluted common share for the same period in 2021.

“Bridgewater began 2022 by continuing the same growth and profitability trends that made 2021 such a successful year,” said Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President, Jerry Baack. “During the first quarter, we again produced consistent results highlighted by robust loan growth with strong asset quality, while growing revenue and maintaining one of the lowest efficiency ratios in the industry. We also took an important step toward enhancing organizational efficiencies to support future growth through the successful launch of our new commercial loan origination system in March, which digitizes the end-to-end lending process. While we are not immune to the various economic challenges and uncertainties related to higher interest rates and inflation, we continue to position the organization for success in the current environment by investing in the business, adding top talent and deepening our relationships throughout the Twin Cities market.”

Today the Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on its 5.875% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A ("Series A Preferred Stock"). The quarterly cash dividend of $36.72 per share, equivalent to $0.3672 per depositary share, each representing a 1/100th interest in a share of the Series A Preferred Stock (Nasdaq: BWBBP), is payable on June 1, 2022 to shareholders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock at the close of business on May 13, 2022.

Income Statement

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $30.2 million for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of $1.0 million, or 3.5%, from $29.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, and an increase of $4.8 million, or 18.8%, from $25.4 million in the first quarter of 2021. The linked-quarter and year-over-year increases in net interest income were primarily due to growth in average interest earning assets and lower rates paid on deposits, offset partially by declining yields on loans and lower PPP fee recognition. Average interest earning assets were $3.43 billion for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of $110.2 million, or 3.3%, from $3.32 billion for the fourth quarter of 2021, and an increase of $547.7 million, or 19.0%, from $2.88 billion for the first quarter of 2021. The linked-quarter and year-over-year increases in average interest earning assets were primarily due to strong organic growth in the loan portfolio and continued purchases of investment securities, offset partially by the forgiveness of PPP loans and the reduction of cash balances.

Net interest margin (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) for the first quarter of 2022 was 3.60%, a 9 basis point increase from 3.51% in the fourth quarter of 2021, and no change from 3.60% in the first quarter of 2021. Core net interest margin (on a fully tax-equivalent basis), a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes the impact of loan fees and PPP balances, interest, and fees, for the first quarter of 2022 was 3.34%, a 9 basis point increase from 3.25% in the fourth quarter of 2021, and no change from 3.34% in the first quarter of 2021. The increase in core net interest margin compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 was primarily due to the deployment of cash into higher yielding assets and the continued reduction of funding costs. The Company remains focused on the impact of anticipated interest rate hikes and the evolving shape of the yield curve throughout 2022.

As the PPP loan portfolio pays down, the recognition of fees associated with the originations has decreased, which impacts comparability between periods. The Company recognized $519,000 of PPP origination fees during the first quarter of 2022, compared to $958,000 during the fourth quarter of 2021. Remaining PPP origination fees to be recognized as of March 31, 2022 were $379,000.

Interest income was $34.7 million for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of $919,000, or 2.7%, from $33.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, and an increase of $4.3 million, or 14.0%, from $30.4 million in the first quarter of 2021. The yield on interest earning assets (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) was 4.13% in the first quarter of 2022, compared to 4.06% in the fourth quarter of 2021, and 4.31% in the first quarter of 2021. The linked-quarter expansion in the yield on interest earning assets was primarily due to the decrease in average cash balances, which were deployed to support growth of the higher yielding loan and investment securities portfolios. The year-over-year decline in the yield on interest earning assets was primarily due to the historically low interest rate environment resulting in lower loan yields.

Loan interest income and loan fees remain the primary contributing factors to the changes in yield on interest earning assets. The aggregate loan yield, excluding PPP loans, decreased to 4.40% in the first quarter of 2022, which was 1 basis point lower than 4.41% in the fourth quarter of 2021, and 32 basis points lower than 4.72% in the first quarter of 2021. While loan fees have maintained a relatively stable contribution to the aggregate loan yield, the historically low yield curve has resulted in a declining core yield on loans in comparison to both prior periods.

A summary of interest and fees recognized on loans, excluding PPP loans, for the periods indicated is as follows:

Interest expense was $4.5 million for the first quarter of 2022, a decrease of $108,000, or 2.3%, from $4.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, and a decrease of $531,000, or 10.5%, from $5.0 million in the first quarter of 2021. The cost of interest bearing liabilities declined 6 basis points on a linked-quarter basis from 0.86% in the fourth quarter of 2021 to 0.80% in the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to lower rates paid on deposits. On a year-over-year basis, the cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased 24 basis points from 1.04% in the first quarter of 2021 to 0.80% in the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to lower rates paid on deposits, and the payoff of the Company’s notes payable, offset partially by strong growth of interest bearing deposits and the issuance of additional subordinated debentures.

Interest expense on deposits was $3.2 million for the first quarter of 2022, a decrease of $83,000, or 2.6%, from $3.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, and a decrease of $513,000, or 14.0%, from $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2021. The cost of total deposits declined 2 basis points on a linked-quarter basis from 0.45% in the fourth quarter of 2021, and declined 16 basis points on a year-over-year basis from 0.59% in the first quarter of 2021, to 0.43% in the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to deposit rate cuts consistent with a lower rate environment and the continued downward repricing of time deposits.

___________________________

(1)

 

Interest income and average rates for tax-exempt investment securities and loans are presented on a tax-equivalent basis, assuming a statutory federal income tax rate of 21%.

(2)

 

Average loan balances include nonaccrual loans. Interest income on loans includes amortization of deferred loan fees, net of deferred loan costs.

(3)

 

Net interest margin includes the tax equivalent adjustment and represents the annualized results of: (i) the difference between interest income on interest earning assets and the interest expense on interest bearing liabilities, divided by (ii) average interest earning assets for the period.

 

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of $525,000 from $1.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, and an increase of $575,000 from $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2021. The provision recorded in the first quarter of 2022 was primarily attributable to the robust growth of the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.40% at March 31, 2022, compared to 1.42% at December 31, 2021, and 1.48% at March 31, 2021. The allowance for loan losses to total loans, excluding PPP loans, was 1.40% at March 31, 2022, compared to 1.43% at December 31, 2021, and 1.59% at March 31, 2021.

As an emerging growth company, the Company is not subject to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments,“ or CECL, until January 1, 2023.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of $269,000 from $1.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, and an increase of $549,000 from $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2021. The linked-quarter increase was primarily due to increased swap fees, offset partially by a decrease in letter of credit fees. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to increased swap fees and bank-owned life insurance income.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $13.5 million for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of $1.0 million from $12.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, and an increase of $2.6 million from $10.9 million for the first quarter of 2021. The linked-quarter increase was primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, and marketing and advertising expenses, offset partially by lower amortization of tax credit investments. The linked-quarter increase in salaries and employee benefits was impacted by the timing of merit increases, which all went into effect during the first quarter of 2022, a change from prior years in which merit increases occurred throughout the year based on service anniversary dates. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to increased salaries and employee benefits, professional and consulting fees, technology, and marketing and advertising expenses.

The Company continues to add key talent across the organization, reaching 229 full-time equivalent employees at March 31, 2022, compared to 220 employees at December 31, 2021, and 200 employees at March 31, 2021.

The efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 42.4% for the first quarter of 2022, compared to 40.8% for the fourth quarter of 2021, and 41.2% for the first quarter of 2021. Excluding the impact of certain non-routine income and expenses, the adjusted efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 42.0% for the first quarter of 2022, 40.3% for the fourth quarter of 2021 and 40.7% for the first quarter of 2021.

Income Taxes

The effective combined federal and state income tax rate for the first quarter of 2022 was 25.9%, a slight increase from 25.7% for the fourth quarter of 2021 and a slight increase from 25.8% for the first quarter of 2021.

Balance Sheet

Total assets at March 31, 2022 were $3.61 billion, a 3.7% increase from $3.48 billion at December 31, 2021, and a 17.4% increase from $3.07 billion at March 31, 2021. The linked-quarter increase in total assets was primarily due to strong organic loan growth, offset partially by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents. The year-over-year increase in total assets was primarily due to robust organic loan growth and the continued purchases of investment securities, offset partially by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents.

Total gross loans at March 31, 2022 were $2.99 billion, an increase of $168.5 million, or 6.0%, over total gross loans of $2.82 billion at December 31, 2021, and an increase of $561.8 million, or 23.2%, over total gross loans of $2.43 billion at March 31, 2021. The increase in the loan portfolio during the first quarter of 2022 was primarily due to growth in the construction and land development, multifamily and CRE nonowner occupied segments, offset partially by the payoff of PPP loans. When excluding PPP loans, gross loans grew $182.3 million during the first quarter of 2022, or 26.5% on an annualized basis. The Company's continued strong loan growth has been driven by the expansion of its talented lending teams, new client acquisitions, the strong, growing brand of the Bank in the Twin Cities market and the M&A-related market disruption in the Twin Cities resulting in client and banker acquisition opportunities.

Total deposits at March 31, 2022 were $3.04 billion, an increase of $89.4 million, or 3.0%, over total deposits of $2.95 billion at December 31, 2021, and an increase of $397.0 million, or 15.0%, over total deposits of $2.64 billion at March 31, 2021. Deposit growth in the first quarter of 2022 was primarily due to an increase in interest bearing transaction deposits, savings and money market deposits, and brokered deposits, offset partially by declines in noninterest bearing transaction deposits and time deposits. On a year-over-year basis, noninterest bearing transaction deposits increased $122.5 million, or 17.2%, compared to March 31, 2021. Similar to the loan portfolio, the growth in core deposits has been a result of successful new client and banker acquisition initiatives and the strong, growing brand of the Bank in the Twin Cities market. Given the likelihood of higher interest rates, management believes deposits could experience fluctuations in future periods.

Capital

Total shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2022 was $379.4 million, a slight increase of $169,000 over total shareholders’ equity of $379.3 million at December 31, 2021, and an increase of $100.3 million, or 35.9%, over total shareholders’ equity of $279.2 million at March 31, 2021. The linked-quarter increase was due to net income retained and unrealized gains in the derivatives portfolio, offset by stock repurchases made under the Company’s stock repurchase program and unrealized losses in the securities portfolio. The year-over-year increase was due to net income retained, the issuance of preferred stock, and unrealized gains in the derivatives portfolio, offset partially by an increase in stock repurchases made under the Company’s stock repurchase program and unrealized losses in the securities portfolio.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased 71,038 shares of its common stock. Shares were repurchased at a weighted average price of $16.95 for a total of $1.2 million. The Company remains committed to maintaining strong capital levels while enhancing shareholder value as it strategically executes its stock repurchase program in this fluid economic environment.

Tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $11.01 as of March 31, 2022, an increase of 0.3% from $10.98 as of December 31, 2021, and an increase of 12.3% from $9.80 as of March 31, 2021. The linked-quarter increase occurred despite the market value depreciation of the securities portfolio due to increases in interest rates, which negatively impacted accumulated other comprehensive income. Tangible common equity as a percentage of tangible assets, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 8.60% at March 31, 2022, compared to 8.91% at December 31, 2021, and 8.99% at March 31, 2021.

Asset Quality

Annualized net charge-offs (recoveries) as a percent of average loans for both the first quarter of 2022 and fourth quarter of 2021 were 0.00%, compared to (0.01)% for the first quarter of 2021. At March 31, 2022, the Company’s nonperforming assets, which include nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days and still accruing, and foreclosed assets, were $706,000, or 0.02% of total assets, as compared to $722,000, or 0.02% of total assets at December 31, 2021, and $770,000 or 0.03% of total assets at March 31, 2021.

The Company has increased oversight and analysis of all segments of the loan portfolio in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in vulnerable industries such as hospitality and restaurants, to proactively monitor evolving credit risk. Loans that have potential weaknesses that warrant a watchlist risk rating at March 31, 2022 totaled $46.8 million, compared to $49.3 million at December 31, 2021, and $58.3 million at March 31, 2021. Loans that warranted a substandard risk rating at March 31, 2022, totaled $18.6 million, compared to $22.6 million at December 31, 2021, and $6.7 million at March 31, 2021.

Use of Non-GAAP financial measures

In addition to the results presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the Company routinely supplements its evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to the related GAAP measures, provide meaningful information to investors to help them understand the Company’s operating performance and trends, and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of peers. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Reconciliations of non-GAAP disclosures used in this earnings release to the comparable GAAP measures are provided in the accompanying tables.

Forward-Looking Statements

This earnings release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements concerning plans, estimates, calculations, forecasts and projections with respect to the anticipated future performance of the Company. These statements are often, but not always, identified by words such as “may”, “might”, “should”, “could”, “predict”, “potential”, “believe”, “expect”, “continue”, “will”, “anticipate”, “seek”, “estimate”, “intend”, “plan”, “projection”, “would”, “annualized”, “target” and “outlook”, or the negative version of those words or other comparable words of a future or forward-looking nature.

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: the negative effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including its effects on the economic environment, our clients and our operations, including due to supply chain disruptions, as well as any changes to federal, state or local government laws, regulations or orders in connection with the pandemic; loan concentrations in our portfolio; the overall health of the local and national real estate market; our ability to successfully manage credit risk; business and economic conditions generally and in the financial services industry, nationally and within our market area, including rising rates of inflation; our ability to maintain an adequate level of allowance for loan losses; new or revised accounting standards, including as a result of the future implementation of the Current Expected Credit Loss standard; the concentration of large loans to certain borrowers; the concentration of large deposits from certain clients; our ability to successfully manage liquidity risk, especially in light of recent excess liquidity at the Bank; our dependence on non-core funding sources and our cost of funds; our ability to raise additional capital to implement our business plan; our ability to implement our growth strategy and manage costs effectively; developments and uncertainty related to the future use and availability of some reference rates, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate, as well as other alternative reference rates; the composition of our senior leadership team and our ability to attract and retain key personnel; talent and labor shortages and high rates of employee turnover; the occurrence of fraudulent activity, breaches or failures of our information security controls or cybersecurity-related incidents; interruptions involving our information technology and telecommunications systems or third-party servicers; competition in the financial services industry, including from nonbank competitors such as credit unions and “fintech” companies; the effectiveness of our risk management framework; the commencement and outcome of litigation and other legal proceedings and regulatory actions against us; the impact of recent and future legislative and regulatory changes, including changes to federal and state corporate tax rates; interest rate risk, including the effects of anticipated rate increases by the Federal Reserve; fluctuations in the values of the securities held in our securities portfolio; the imposition of tariffs or other governmental policies impacting the value of products produced by our commercial borrowers; severe weather, natural disasters, wide spread disease or pandemics (including the COVID-19 pandemic), acts of war or terrorism or other adverse external events including the Russian invasion of Ukraine; potential impairment to the goodwill we recorded in connection with our past acquisition; changes to U.S. or state tax laws, regulations and guidance, including recent proposals to increase the federal corporate tax rate; and any other risks described in the “Risk Factors” sections of reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this press release is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
