ALEXANDRIA, La., April 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Red River Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: RRBI), the holding company for Red River Bank (the “Bank”), announced today its unaudited financial results for the first quarter of 2024.

Net income for the first quarter of 2024 was $8.2 million, or $1.16 per diluted common share (“EPS”), a decrease of $104,000, or 1.3%, compared to $8.3 million, or $1.16 EPS, for the fourth quarter of 2023, and a decrease of $1.4 million, or 14.7%, compared to $9.6 million, or $1.33 EPS, for the first quarter of 2023. For the first quarter of 2024, the quarterly return on assets was 1.07%, and the quarterly return on equity was 10.77%.

First Quarter 2024 Performance and Operational Highlights

In the first quarter of 2024, the Company had a consistent net interest margin and consistent earnings, higher loans, and slightly lower deposits and assets. A significant stock buyback transaction was completed, and the quarterly dividend was increased to $0.09 per common share.

• Net income for the first quarter of 2024 was $8.2 million compared to $8.3 million for the prior quarter. Net income in the first quarter benefited from approximately $800,000 of nonrecurring noninterest income payments and operating expense reduction items.
• Net interest income and net interest margin fully tax equivalent (“FTE”) were fairly consistent between the first quarter of 2024 and the prior quarter. Net interest income for the first quarter of 2024 was $21.4 million compared to $21.3 million for the prior quarter. Net interest margin FTE for the first quarter of 2024 was 2.83% compared to 2.82% for the prior quarter. These results were due to improved yields on securities and loans offset by higher deposit costs.
• As of March 31, 2024, assets were $3.07 billion, which was $55.5 million, or 1.8%, lower than December 31, 2023. The decrease was due to a $56.0 million decrease in deposits.
• Deposits totaled $2.75 billion as of March 31, 2024, a decrease of $56.0 million, or 2.0%, compared to $2.80 billion as of December 31, 2023. This decrease was mainly due to the seasonal outflow of funds from public entity customers.
• As of March 31, 2024, loans held for investment (“HFI”) were $2.04 billion, an increase of $45.2 million, or 2.3%, compared to $1.99 billion as of December 31, 2023. The growth in loans HFI was primarily a result of new loan activity in various markets across Louisiana.
• In the first quarter of 2024, average liquid assets, which are cash and cash equivalents, decreased $26.6 million to $254.7 million, compared to $281.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The liquid assets to assets ratio was 7.48% as of March 31, 2024.
• As of March 31, 2024, nonperforming assets (“NPA(s)”) were $2.5 million, or 0.08% of assets, and the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) was $21.6 million, or 1.06% of loans HFI.
• We paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per common share in the first quarter of 2024, up from $0.08 per common share for each quarter in 2023.
• On March 13, 2024, the Company entered into a privately negotiated stock repurchase agreement for the purchase of 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for a total purchase price of $10.0 million. This repurchase was supplemental to the Company’s stock repurchase program, and as of March 31, 2024, all $5.0 million of the 2024 stock repurchase program was available. The stock repurchase program is effective through December 31, 2024.
• As of March 31, 2024, capital levels were strong with a stockholders’ equity to assets ratio of 9.74%, a leverage ratio of 11.44%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 17.84%.
• In January of 2024, Michael J. Brown, CFA, was appointed to the boards of directors of each the Company and the Bank. Mr. Brown’s most recent roles include serving as President of Regional Banking for First Horizon Bank and Chief Operating Officer for IBERIABANK.
• Recently, S&P Global Market Intelligence ranked the Bank 15th of the top 50 best-performing community banks in 2023 with assets between $3.0 and $10.0 billion.

Blake Chatelain, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The first quarter of 2024 was one of steady, consistent performance by the Company. Also, we were pleased to increase the quarterly cash dividend, complete a significant stock buyback transaction, and welcome Michael J. Brown, CFA to the board of directors.

“Our financial results included having a consistent net interest margin and earnings, solid loan growth, and strong capital ratios. Over the past three quarters, the net interest margin has slowly increased as we have improved loan yields while diligently managing deposit rate pressures and costs. Our bankers have done an outstanding job with providing lending services to new and existing customers. For the second quarter in a row, new loan activity has been solid, and loans HFI crossed the $2.0 billion mark in the first quarter of 2024. As expected, deposits and assets decreased with normal seasonal public entity deposit activity, while other customer deposit balances remained fairly consistent. Due to having strong capital levels, we increased the quarterly cash dividend per common share from $0.08 in 2023 to $0.09 for the first quarter of 2024 and completed a large stock buyback transaction.

“For the second year, Red River Bank was selected as a Top 50 Community Bank by S&P Market Intelligence. Our ranking of 15th for 2023 is an honor and reflection of our financial performance and strength.

“As we move through 2024, we believe we are well positioned for the year ahead. The Company is well capitalized, has consistent earnings, excellent asset quality, and plenty of opportunity to expand our services in the Louisiana markets that we serve. We look forward to taking care of our customers, employees, and shareholders.”

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin FTE

Net interest income and net interest margin FTE for the first quarter of 2024 were fairly consistent with the prior quarter. In the first quarter of 2024, improved yields on earning assets were offset by higher deposit costs. The Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) kept the federal funds rate consistent between the third quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024.

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2024 was $21.4 million, which was $69,000, or 0.3%, higher than the fourth quarter of 2023, due to a $977,000 increase in interest and dividend income, offset by a $908,000 increase in interest expense. The increase in interest and dividend income was due to higher interest income on loans and securities, partially offset by lower interest income on short-term liquid assets. Loan income increased $995,000 due to higher rates on new and renewed loans, combined with higher balances in loans HFI. The average rate on new and renewed loans was 7.56% for the first quarter of 2024, compared to 7.39% for the prior quarter. Interest income on securities increased $408,000, primarily due to higher yields on securities recently purchased. Interest income on short-term liquid assets decreased due to lower balances in these accounts during the first quarter. The increase in interest expense was due to higher rates on new and renewed time deposits and larger balances in certain higher cost deposit accounts.

The net interest margin FTE increased one basis point (“bp(s)”) to 2.83% for the first quarter of 2024, compared to 2.82% for the prior quarter. This increase was due to improved yields on securities and loans, offset by higher deposit costs. The yield on securities increased 22 bps, due to reinvesting securities cash flows received into new securities at higher yields. The yield on loans increased 15 bps due to higher rates on new and renewed loans. These increases were largely offset by a 33 bp increase in the rate on time deposits during the first quarter. The cost of deposits increased 15 bps to 1.70% for the first quarter of 2024, compared to 1.55% for the previous quarter.

In the first quarter of 2024, the target range for the federal funds rate remained at 5.25%-5.50%. The market’s expectation is that the FOMC will lower the federal funds rate in 2024. During the remainder of 2024, we anticipate receiving approximately $100.0 million in securities cash flows. We expect to redeploy these cash flows into higher yielding assets, which should benefit both net interest income and net interest margin FTE. As of March 31, 2024, floating rate loans were 13.3% of loans HFI, and floating rate transaction deposits were 6.4% of interest-bearing transaction deposits. Depending on balance sheet activity and the movement in interest rates, we expect the net interest margin FTE to improve slightly throughout 2024.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2024 was $300,000, which was $50,000 higher than the provision for credit losses of $250,000 for the prior quarter. The provision in the first quarter was due to potential economic challenges resulting from the current inflationary environment, changing monetary policy, and loan growth. We will continue to evaluate future provision needs in relation to current economic situations, loan growth, trends in asset quality, forecasted information, and other conditions influencing loss expectations.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income totaled $4.9 million for the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of $259,000, or 5.0%, compared to $5.2 million for the previous quarter. The decrease was mainly due to a loss on equity securities and decreases in service charges on deposit accounts, loan and deposit income, and Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) income, partially offset by an increase in net debit card income.

Equity securities are an investment in a Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) mutual fund consisting primarily of bonds. The gain or loss on equity securities is a fair value adjustment primarily driven by changes in the interest rate environment. Due to the fluctuations in market rates between quarters, equity securities had a loss of $31,000 in the first quarter of 2024, compared to a gain of $132,000 for the fourth quarter of 2023.

Services charges on deposit accounts for the first quarter of 2024 were $1.4 million, a decrease of $91,000, or 6.2%, compared to $1.5 million for the prior quarter. This decrease was mainly due to adjustments to the deposit fee schedule in the first quarter of 2024.

Loan and deposit income totaled $492,000 for the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of $83,000, or 14.4%, compared to $575,000 for the previous quarter. This decrease was primarily related to less annual renewals of letters of credit in the first quarter of 2024, compared to the fourth quarter of 2023.

SBIC income for the first quarter of 2024 was $352,000, a decrease of $41,000, or 10.4%, compared to $393,000 for the prior quarter. This decrease was primarily due to lower distributions from these partnerships in the first quarter. We received distribution payments of $114,000 in the first quarter of 2024 and $166,000 in the fourth quarter of 2023, in addition to the normal income from these partnerships.

Debit card income, net, totaled $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2024, an increase of $147,000, or 16.8%, compared to $875,000 for the previous quarter. We terminated our existing debit card provider contract, which resulted in $145,000 of nonrecurring income for the first quarter of 2024. In January 2024, a newly negotiated debit card provider contract became effective.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2024 totaled $15.9 million, a decrease of $150,000, or 0.9%, compared to $16.0 million for the previous quarter. This decrease was due to lower loan and deposit expenses and data processing expense, partially offset by higher personnel expenses and other taxes.

Loan and deposit expenses totaled ($42,000) for the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of $298,000, or 116.4%, from the previous quarter. This decrease was primarily due to the receipt of a $262,000 negotiated, variable rebate from a vendor in the first quarter of 2024.

Data processing expense totaled $347,000 for the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of $284,000, or 45.0%, from the previous quarter. This decrease was attributable to receipt of a $284,000 periodic refund from our data processing center in the first quarter of 2024.

Personnel expenses totaled $9.6 million for the first quarter of 2024, an increase of $317,000, or 3.4%, from the previous quarter. This increase was primarily due to net staff changes, restarting of payroll tax expense, and increased revenue-based commission compensation. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had 358 and 362 total employees, respectively.

Other taxes totaled $737,000 for the first quarter of 2024, an increase of $58,000, or 8.5%, from the previous quarter. This increase was primarily due to higher stock repurchase tax expense related to higher stock repurchases in the first quarter of 2024.

Asset Overview

Deposits decreased in the first quarter of 2024, mainly as a result of the seasonal outflow of funds from public entity customers, partially offset by an increase in new consumer time deposit activity.

The Bank has a granular, diverse deposit portfolio with customers in a variety of industries throughout Louisiana. As of March 31, 2024, the average deposit account size was approximately $28,000.

As of March 31, 2024, our estimated uninsured deposits, which are the portion of deposit accounts that exceed the FDIC insurance limit (currently $250,000), were approximately $809.5 million, or 29.5% of total deposits. This amount was estimated based on the same methodologies and assumptions used for regulatory reporting purposes. Also, as of March 31, 2024, our estimated uninsured deposits, excluding collateralized public entity deposits, were approximately $635.7 million, or 23.2% of total deposits. Our cash and cash equivalents of $229.8 million combined with our available borrowing capacity of $1.65 billion equaled 232.2% of our estimated uninsured deposits and 295.7% of our estimated uninsured deposits, excluding collateralized public entity deposits.

Stockholders’ Equity

Total stockholders’ equity as of March 31, 2024, was $299.3 million compared to $303.9 million as of December 31, 2023. The $4.5 million, or 1.5%, decrease in stockholders’ equity during the first quarter of 2024 was attributable to the repurchase of 200,000 shares of common stock for $10.0 million, a $2.2 million, net of tax, market adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss related to securities, and $638,000 in cash dividends, partially offset by $8.2 million of net income and $119,000 of stock compensation. We paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per share on March 21, 2024.

Non-GAAP Disclosure

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. Certain financial measures used by management to evaluate our operating performance are discussed as supplemental non-GAAP performance measures. In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules, we classify a financial measure as being a non-GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time in the U.S.

Management and the board of directors review tangible book value per share, tangible common equity to tangible assets, and realized book value per share as part of managing operating performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate the non-GAAP financial measures that are discussed may differ from that of other companies’ reporting measures with similar names. It is important to understand how such other banking organizations calculate and name their financial measures similar to the non-GAAP financial measures discussed by us when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included within the following financial statement tables.
