Los Angeles, CA, July 26 , 20 21 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 June 30, 2021.

The Company reported record net income of $13.4 million, or $0.67 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to net income of $12.5 million, or $0.63 diluted earnings per share, and $6.5 million, or $0.33 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively.

“We are pleased to report diluted earnings per share of $0.67, for the second quarter,” said Alan Thian, President and CEO of Royal Business Bank. “Continued focus on our deposit franchise reduced the cost of our interest-bearing deposits and delivered strong growth in non-interest bearing deposits which now comprise 30.6% of total deposits.  While our net interest margin declined due to excess liquidity, our disciplined loan origination efforts kept our loan balance and yields stable. Our acquisition of the Hawaiian branch of the Bank of the Orient expands our presence in a vibrant Asian-American community and positions us for profitable growth.”

"Royal Business Bank’s excellent second quarter results demonstrate the continued strength of our differentiated business model and commitment to enhancing long-term shareholder value." said Dr. James Kao, Chairman of RBB Bancorp. “We remain well-positioned to pursue additional organic and strategic growth opportunities.”

Key Performance Ratios

Net income of $13.4 million for the second quarter of 2021 produced an annualized return on average assets of 1.39%, an annualized return on average tangible common shareholders' equity of 14.57%, and an annualized return on average shareholders' equity of 12.13%. This compares to an annualized return on average assets of 1.47%, an annualized return on average tangible common shareholders' equity of 14.05%, and an annualized return on average shareholders' equity of 11.64% for the first quarter of 2021. The efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2021 was 42.89%, compared to 44.64% for the prior quarter. The change in the efficiency ratio was primarily due to a decrease in non-interest income.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income, before provision for loan losses, was $30.1 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $29.5 million for the first quarter of 2021. The $572,000 increase was primarily attributable to higher interest income due to a $410.6 million increase in average earning assets and an improvement in deposit costs related to a $259.8 million increase in average noninterest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a $138.0 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities.  Accretion of purchase discounts from prior acquisitions contributed $183,000 to net interest income in the second quarter of 2021, compared to $481,000 in the first quarter of 2021.

Compared to the second quarter of 2020, net interest income, before provision for loan losses, increased $5.0 million from $25.0 million. The increase was primarily attributable to a $670.6 million increase in average earning assets and a $355.5 million increase in average noninterest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a $277.7 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 3.33% for the second quarter of 2021, a decrease of 40 basis points from 3.73% in the first quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in liquidity combined with a 50 basis point decrease in the yield on average earning assets and a 40 basis point decrease in the yield on federal funds sold, cash equivalents & other which was partially offset by a 19 basis point decrease in the cost of borrowings (FHLB advances, long-term debt and subordinated debentures). Loan discount accretion contributed 2 basis points to the net interest margin in the second quarter of 2021, compared to 6 basis points in the first quarter of 2021.  The majority of the decrease in net interest margin was due to the increase in liquidity.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $4.2 million for the second quarter of 2021, a decrease of $1.7 million from $5.9 million in the first quarter of 2021. The decrease was driven by a decrease in loans sold during the quarter.  The Company sold $55.4 million fewer loans in the second quarter than in the prior quarter primarily due to selling fewer FNMA loans.

The Company sold $58.9 million in FNMA qualified mortgage loans for a net gain of $1.4 million and sold $13.4 million in non-qualified mortgage loans to private investors for a gain of $389,000 during the second quarter of 2021. This compared to $80.3 million in FNMA qualified mortgage loans for a net gain of $2.2 million and $49.8 million in non-qualified mortgage loans to private investors for a gain of $1.2 million during the first quarter of 2021. The Company sold $5.9 million in SBA loans during the second quarter of 2021 for a net gain of $747,000, compared to $3.5 million SBA loans sold for a net gain of $355,000 during the first quarter of 2021.

Compared to the second quarter of 2020, noninterest income increased by $2.0 million from $2.2 million. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $2.5 million in gain on loan sales partially offset by a decrease of $590,000 in loan servicing fees.

2


Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2021 was $14.7 million, compared to $15.8 million for the first quarter of 2021. The $1.1 million decrease was primarily attributable to a $500,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits, a $269,000 decrease in legal and professional fees and $209,000 decrease in data processing expenses.

Noninterest expense decreased from $14.8 million in the second quarter of 2020. The $139,000 decrease was primarily due to a $366,000 decrease in MSR impairment write-down expense and a $392,000 decrease in occupancy and equipment expenses. These were partially offset by a $639,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits expense.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 29.28% for the second quarter of 2021, 31.1% for the first quarter of 2021, and 30.8% for the second quarter of 2020.

CDFI Rapid Response Program

In 2016, RBB became a community development financial institution (CDFI).  In mid-June, 2021 the Bank was awarded a $1.8 million grant under the US Treasury’s Rapid Response Program to facilitate a rapid response to the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in distressed and underserved communities. The award has not yet been received pending finalization of the contract between the Bank and the US Treasury which will include various performance goals and measures that specify the use of the funds.

Loan Portfolio

Loans held for investment, net of deferred fees and discounts, totaled $2.7 billion as of June 30, 2021, a decrease of $6.0 million from March 31, 2021, and an increase of $114.6 million from June 30, 2020 from $2.6 billion. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily due to a decrease in mortgage loan originations. Single-family residential mortgages decreased by $56.9 million net of payoffs, paydowns and loan sales. Commercial real estate loans increased by $39.4 million, construction and land development loans increased by $27.2 million, SBA loans decreased by $12.8 million (which included a $13.7 million decrease in PPP loans), commercial and industrial loans decreased by $8.9 million and other loans increased by $6.0 million.

During the second quarter of 2021, single-family residential mortgage production was $107.9 million, payoffs and paydowns were $121.0 million, and single-family residential mortgage loan sales were $72.3 million. During the first quarter of 2021, single-family residential mortgage production was $114.5 million, payoffs and paydowns were $81.9 million, and loan sales were $130.1 million.

Mortgage loans held for sale were $9.2 million as of June 30, 2021, a decrease of $28.4 million from $37.7 million at March 31, 2021 and a decrease of $6.2 million from $15.5 million as of June 30, 2020. The Company originated approximately $29.2 million in FNMA mortgage loans for sale for the second quarter of 2021, compared with $55.3 million during the prior quarter.

In the second quarter of 2021, SBA loan production was $21.3 million and total SBA loan sales were $5.9 million.

Deposits and Borrowings

Deposits were $3.1 billion at June 30, 2021, an increase of $248.6 million from March 31, 2021, and an increase of $633.4 million from June 30, 2020, including brokered deposits. The increase in total deposits from the prior quarter was primarily attributable to organic deposit growth.  During the second quarter of 2021, noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $152.6 million, interest-bearing non-maturity deposits increased by $67.1 million, and time deposits decreased by $28.9 million.  As of June 30, 2021, time deposits included $17.4 million in brokered CDs, as compared to $17.4 million as of March 31, 2021 and $2.4 million as of June 30, 2020.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming assets totaled $19.5 million, or 0.50% of total assets at June 30, 2021, compared to $20.2 million, or 0.55%, of total assets at March 31, 2021.  Nonperforming assets consist of OREO, loans modified under troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”), non-accrual loans, and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest.

3


In the second quarter of 2021, there were $71,000 in net charge-offs, compared to net charge-offs of $42,000 in the prior quarter.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $628,000 for the second quarter of 2021, a decrease from $872,000 in the prior quarter, primarily attributable to reduced loan growth.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $31.4 million, or 1.16% of loans held for investment at June 30, 2021, compared with $30.8 million, or 1.13%, of total loans at March 31, 2021.

As of June 30, 2021, borrowers representing 191 loans totaling $29.2 million, or 1.07% of the Company’s total loan portfolio, have funded under the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  Presently none of our SBA customers are on a payment deferral plan due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company does not have any shared national credits or loans, backed by airlines or cruise lines, on deferral as of June 30, 2021.
