Los Angeles, CA, October 25 , 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 September 30, 2021.

The Company reported record net income of $15.4 million, or $0.77 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to net income of $13.4 million, or $0.67 diluted earnings per share, and $8.5 million, or $0.43 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively.  Third quarter results included the impact of a $1.8 million CDFI grant that increased diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.07.

"Our differentiated business model continued to outperform in the third quarter as we reported record diluted earnings per share of $0.77 and 20% annualized loan growth,” said Alan Thian, President and CEO of RBB Bancorp. “In addition to our financial performance and growth, continued pricing discipline and focus on our cost of deposits has kept our net interest margin stable in the first 9 months of 2021 versus the same period in 2020. We are also pleased that our efforts to support the communities in which we operate were recognized by the US Treasury which awarded Royal Business Bank with a $1.8 million CDFI grant to facilitate a rapid response to the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in distressed and underserved communities.”

"I am very pleased with Royal Business Bank’s record financial performance in the third quarter," said Dr. James Kao, Chairman of RBB Bancorp. “And I am very proud that RBB’s success in community development has been recognized with a CDFI grant and with the appointment of Alan to the Community Development Advisory Board.”

Key Performance Ratios

Net income of $15.4 million for the third quarter of 2021 produced an annualized return on average assets ("ROA") of 1.54%, an annualized return on average tangible common shareholders' equity ("ROTCE") of 16.17%, and an annualized return on average shareholders' equity ("ROE") of 13.52%. This compares to 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% for the second quarter of 2021.  Third quarter results included the impact of a $1.8 million CDFI grant that increased ROA by 0.03%, ROTCE by 0.35%, and ROE by 0.29%.  The efficiency ratio for the third quarter of 2021 was 38.87%, compared to 42.89% for the prior quarter.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income, before provision for loan losses, was $31.6 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $30.1 million for the second quarter of 2021. The $1.5 million increase was primarily attributable to higher interest income due to a $92.7 million increase in average earning assets, partially offset by an $11.3 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities.  Accretion of purchase discounts from prior acquisitions contributed $289,000 to net interest income in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $183,000 in the second quarter of 2021.

Compared to the third quarter of 2020, net interest income, before provision for loan losses, increased $4.3 million from $27.3 million. The increase was primarily attributable to a $691.5 million increase in average earning assets, partially offset by a $262.0 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 3.38% for the third quarter of 2021, an increase of 5 basis points from 3.33% in the second quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to a $89.9 million increase in average non-interest bearing deposits, combined with an 8 basis point decrease in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities, which was partially offset by a 2 basis point decrease in the yield on average earning assets. Loan discount accretion contributed 3 basis points to the net interest margin in the third quarter of 2021, compared to 2 basis points in the second quarter of 2021.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $5.5 million for the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $1.4 million from $4.2 million in the second quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily driven by a $1.8 million grant under the US Treasury’s Rapid Response Program, partially offset by a $782,000 decrease in gain on sale of loans during the quarter.  The Company sold $35.7 million fewer loans in the third quarter than in the prior quarter primarily due to selling fewer FNMA loans.

The Company sold $36.6 million in FNMA qualified mortgage loans for a net gain of $1.3 million and sold no non-qualified mortgage loans during the third quarter of 2021. This compared to $58.9 million in FNMA qualified mortgage loans sold for a net gain of $1.4 million and $13.4 million in non-qualified mortgage loans to private investors for a gain of $389,000 during the second quarter of 2021. The Company sold $5.9 million in SBA loans during the third quarter of 2021 for a net gain of $553,000, compared to $5.9 million SBA loans sold for a net gain of $747,000 during the second quarter of 2021.

Compared to the third quarter of 2020, noninterest income increased by $2.8 million from $2.7 million. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $1.8 million grant under the US Treasury’s Rapid Response Program and an increase of $1.0 million in gain on loan sales.

2


Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2021 was $14.4 million, compared to $14.7 million for the second quarter of 2021. The $260,000 decrease was primarily attributable to a reversal of impairment write-down on mortgage servicing assets of $416,000 and a $266,000 decrease in data processing expense, partially offset by a  $210,000 increase in legal and professional expenses and a $93,000 increase in marketing and business promotion expense.

Noninterest expense increased from $14.0 million in the third quarter of 2020. The $444,000 increase was primarily due to a $1.2 million increase in salaries and employee benefits and a $193,000 increase in marketing and business promotion expenses. These were partially offset by a $475,000 decrease in mortgage servicing assets impairment write-down, a $235,000 decrease in data processing expenses and a $171,000 decrease in occupancy and equipment expenses.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 28.5% for the third quarter of 2021, 29.3% for the second quarter of 2021, and 29.8% for the third quarter of 2020. The Company recognized a tax benefit from stock option exercises of $534,000, $68,000 and zero for the third quarter of 2021, the second quarter of 2021, and the third quarter of 2020, respectively.

CDFI Rapid Response Program

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 was received in August 2021 after finalization of the contract between the Bank and the US Treasury which included various performance goals and measures that specify the use of the funds to provide affordable housing. The funds were disbursed for two loans that help provide affordable housing to underserved communities.

Loan Portfolio

Loans held for investment, net of deferred fees and discounts, totaled $2.84 billion as of September 30, 2021, an increase of $131.1 million from June 30, 2021, and an increase of $85.2 million from September 30, 2020. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to an increase in commercial real estate and construction & land development loans. Single-family residential mortgages decreased by $9.5 million net of payoffs, paydowns and loan sales. Commercial real estate loans increased by $103.2 million, construction and land development loans increased by $34.8 million, SBA loans decreased by $9.8 million (which included a $6.2 million decrease in PPP loans), commercial and industrial loans decreased by $693,000 and other loans increased by $13.2 million.

During the third quarter of 2021, single-family residential mortgage production was $112.0 million, payoffs and paydowns were $79.0 million, and single-family residential mortgage loan sales were $36.6 million. During the second quarter of 2021, single-family residential mortgage production was $107.9 million, payoffs and paydowns were $121.0 million, and loan sales were $72.3 million.

Mortgage loans held for sale were $15.2 million as of September 30, 2021, an increase of $5.9 million from $9.2 million at June 30, 2021 and a decrease of $8.7 million from $23.9 million as of September 30, 2020. The Company originated approximately $12.2 million in FNMA mortgage loans for sale for the third quarter of 2021, compared with $29.2 million during the prior quarter.

In the third quarter of 2021, SBA loan production was $22.7 million and total SBA loan sales were $5.9 million.

Deposits and Borrowings

Deposits were $3.0 billion at September 30, 2021, a decrease of $102.1 million from June 30, 2021, and an increase of $356.1 million from September 30, 2020, including brokered deposits. The decrease in total deposits from the prior quarter was primarily attributable to a decrease in noninterest-bearing demand deposits and time deposits.  During the third quarter of 2021, noninterest-bearing deposits decreased by $115.3 million, interest-bearing non-maturity deposits increased by $72.9 million, and time deposits decreased by $59.8 million.  As of September 30, 2021, time deposits included $2.4 million in brokered CDs, as compared to $17.4 million as of June 30, 2021 and $17.4 million as of September 30, 2020.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming assets totaled $14.5 million, or 0.38% of total assets at September 30, 2021, compared to $19.5 million, or 0.50%, of total assets at June 30, 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.

3


In the third quarter of 2021, there were $317,000 in net charge-offs, compared to net charge-offs of $71,000 in the second quarter.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2021, an increase from $628,000 in the prior quarter, primarily attributable to loan growth.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $32.2 million, or 1.13% of loans held for investment at September 30, 2021, compared with $31.4 million, or 1.16%, of total loans at June 30, 2021.

As of September 30, 2021, borrowers representing 167 loans totaling $23.0 million, or 0.80% 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 September 30, 2021.

As of October 15, 2021, the Company had one COVID-19 loan deferral in the amount of $241,000.
