EVERETT, Wash., Jan. 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coastal Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: CCB) (the “Company”), the holding company for Coastal Community Bank (the “Bank”), today reported unaudited financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2019. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $3.6 million, or $0.30 per diluted common share, compared with net income of $3.5 million, or $0.29 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2019. 

The Company had net income of $13.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, or $1.08 per diluted common share, compared to $9.7 million, or $0.91 per diluted common share for the year ended December 31, 2018.

“We are pleased to announce that we finished 2019 strong with a 36.1% increase in net income, a 22.3% increase in total loans receivable and a 20.5% increase in deposits, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company’s return on average equity was 11.66% for the fourth quarter of 2019,” stated Eric Sprink, the President and CEO of the Bank and the Company. 

“We remain focused on growing and managing the Bank, while investing, growing, and innovating our way to an enhanced future that combines our strong Bank with additional sources of fee income and a path to stronger and more viable digital Bank in the future.

Today, we are formally introducing our CCBX Division which provides Banking as a Service (“BaaS”) enabling broker dealers and digital financial service providers to offer their clients banking services. The “X” is indicative of the technology services that our partners provide.

As we build out CCBX, we will do our best to cover related costs with new revenues from CCBX customers. Currently, we are in the process of working with five fintech partners, and maintaining a robust pipeline as we look forward. CCBX will be supported by staff we hired late in 2019 to build the infrastructure, and additional hires in 2020 as we expect to add new partners and execute new contracts.

Just like any complex banking product, BaaS does not come without risks. We recently announced the hiring of a dedicated Chief Risk Officer and a Data Scientist Architect with a PhD in Artificial Intelligence to further enhance the program. These hires are investments in our future and necessary to perform the services safely and soundly and to manage the risks associated with this line of business. We also recently announced that we are building an integrated compliance and reporting system to monitor and address these risks in partnership with Neocova.

Although we carefully underwrite and complete extensive due diligence of each partner, we know that all of partners may not be successful, and like any new business some might fail. Through ongoing monitoring of each relationship, we believe that we will be able to minimize any impact, but recognize that income streams may diminish should a partner fail. In addition, we are very cognizant of both our compliance responsibility and the True Lender Doctrine, and should any of our partners offer lending products, the Bank will be the True Lender and engage with the relationships accordingly.

“The investments we are making today are not for immediate returns but for longer-term returns that we believe will build value for shareholders while benefiting our customers, employees, and communities we serve,” continued Sprink. “We are pleased to provide this update and look forward to sharing more news about our CCBX division as it grows.”

Beginning with the fourth quarter 2019, we have changed references made to “wholesale” and "wholesale banking services" to "BaaS" and “BaaS fees” in our earnings release, financial statements and other information we make publicly available (other than our regulatory reports). We have revised prior period financial statements to make this conforming change.

Results of Operations

Net interest income was $11.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, an increase of 5.6% from $10.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 and an increase of 14.6% from $9.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. The increase compared to the prior quarter and prior year’s fourth quarter is related to increased interest income resulting from our loan growth.

Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2019 totaled $42.0 million, an increase of 20.7% compared to $34.8 million for the fiscal year 2018. The $7.2 million increase in net interest income over the same period last year was primarily related to loan growth. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the average balance of total loans receivable increased by $138.2 million, compared to the same period last year. Increased interest income was partially offset by increased deposit costs from the growth in the balance of our interest bearing deposits of $86.6 million and an increase in the cost of deposits of 23 basis points, compared to the fiscal year 2018.

Net interest margin for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 decreased three basis points to 4.26% as compared to 4.29% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 and was 4.43% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. The decrease over the prior quarter was due to lower interest rates on interest earning deposits invested in other financial institutions. The decrease in net interest margin compared to the fourth quarter in the prior year is primarily due to an increase in cost of deposits, which increased 16 basis points to 0.63% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, compared to 0.47% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, and 0.64% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.

Net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2019 was 4.23% compared to 4.24% for the comparable period last year. Higher loans receivable, increased average loan yields and increased average interest earning deposits during the year ended December 31, 2019 helped to offset the 23 basis point increase in cost of deposits, resulting in a just a one basis point net decrease in net interest margin over the year ended December 31, 2018. 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2019 the average balance of total loans receivable increased by $45.7 million, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2019, and increased by $152.3 million, compared to the same quarter one year ago. Total loan yield for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was 5.36%, which was the same as the quarter ended September 30, 2019, and compares to 5.39% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018.

Contractual loan yields approximated 5.15% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, compared to 5.24% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, and 5.15% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) lowered rates twice in the third quarter of 2019, resulting in lower rates on new and renewing loans in the fourth quarter of 2019. Although we have rate floors in place for certain existing loans, the rate reductions by FOMC and any future rate adjustments will have a corresponding impact on loan yields and subsequently the net interest margin in future periods.

Deposit costs for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 were 0.63%, a decrease of one basis point from 0.64% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, and a 16 basis point increase from the quarter ended December 31, 2018. Market conditions for deposits continue to be competitive, and deposit costs have not declined meaningfully along with the rate reductions by the FOMC, as of yet. Historically, there tends to be a lag in customer deposit rates being adjusted up or down in response to rate changes by the FOMC.      

The following table shows the Company’s key performance ratios for the periods indicated. The table also includes ratios that were adjusted by removing the impact of the previously disclosed atypical BaaS-brokered deposits for the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019. The BaaS-brokered deposits normalized in the third quarter of 2019, therefore no adjustments were made to the performance ratios for the quarter or year ended December 31, 2019. The adjusted ratios are non-GAAP measures. For more information about non-GAAP financial measures, see the end of this earnings release.

Noninterest income was $2.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, a decrease of $29,000 from the third quarter of 2019, and an increase of $458,000 from $1.6 million for the comparable period one year ago. A $332,000 increase in loan referral fees and $200,000 increase in BaaS fees was partially offset by $369,000 lower gain on sale of loans and $171,000 less on realized net gain on sale of securities when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The $458,000 increase over the quarter ended December 31, 2018 was largely due to a $317,000 increase in fees earned from BaaS fees, a $167,000 increase in loan referral fees and $122,000 lower gain on sale of loans.  

Noninterest income was $8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase is primarily related to an increase in BaaS fees of $1.4 million and an additional $820,000 in loan referral fee income, which is earned when we originate a variable rate loan and arrange for the borrower to enter into an interest rate swap agreement with a third party to fix the interest rate for an extended period. Increases in mortgage broker income of $232,000, gain on sales of loans of $226,000 and a realized net gain on sale of securities of $171,000 also contributed to the increase. 

Total noninterest expense for the current quarter was $8.0 million compared to $7.7 million for the preceding quarter and increased 11.6% from $7.2 million from the comparable period one year ago. Noninterest expense variances for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2019 include a $88,000 increase in occupancy expense related to higher depreciation expense, maintenance and repairs, and utilities. Other expenses increased by $119,000 largely due to a $62,000 increase in software license expense and $87,000 more in bank examination fees. The increased expenses for the current quarter compared to the comparable quarter one year ago were largely due to increases in salary expenses. Full time equivalent employees at December 31, 2019 totaled 201, which was up 4.7% from the prior quarter and increased 9.8% from the quarter ended December 31, 2018. Staffing increases compared to the prior year are due to organic growth initiatives, and include increases in sales staff, hiring new banking teams, and staff for the Edmonds location opened in October 2018, plus additional back office staffing to support the incremental increases in banking teams, and to grow our BaaS CCBX division. Other expenses increased $190,000 as a result of $77,000 more in subscription and software license expense and $105,000 more in bank examination fees.    

Total noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $31.1 million, an increase of $4.8 million or 18.5% compared to the same period last year. The increase is primarily attributable to $2.9 million in increased salary expense, as discussed above, an increase of $461,000 in occupancy expenses from our Edmonds branch opened in October 2018, higher rent expense for other locations, and increases in depreciation. In addition, we had an increase of $426,000 in legal and professional fees, largely due to expenses related to being a public company, and our BaaS activities through CCBX operations.

The provision for income taxes was $28,000 more this quarter compared to the third quarter of 2019, and $123,000 more than the fourth quarter of 2018, as a result of increased taxable income. The provision for income taxes was $920,000 more for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018 as a result of increased taxable income. The Company uses a federal statutory tax rate of 21% as a basis for calculating provision for income taxes.

Balance Sheet

The Company’s total assets increased $176.4 million, or 18.5% to $1.13 billion at December 31, 2019 from $952.1 million at December 31, 2018. The primary cause of the increase was a $169.1 million in increased net loans receivable. Additionally, the Company implemented the new lease accounting standard, which brought operating leases onto the balance sheet on January 1, 2019, and increased assets and liabilities $8.5 million and $8.7 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2019. In the quarter ended December 31, 2019 total assets increased $38.5 million, or 3.5% to $1.13 billion at December 31, 2019 from $1.09 billion at September 30, 2019. The increase was attributed to an increase in net loans receivable of $64.4 million partially offset by a decrease of $20.0 million in interest earning deposits with other banks.    

Total loans receivable, net of allowance for loan losses, increased $169.1 million, or 22.3%, to $927.6 million at December 31, 2019, from $758.5 million at December 31, 2018 and $64.4 million or 7.5% from $863.2 million at September 30, 2019. The growth in net loans receivable over the previous year end was due primarily to increases in commercial real estate loans of $97.4 million, $33.0 million in construction, land and land development loans, $21.0 million in commercial and industrial loans and $20.3 million in residential real estate loans. As a percent of total loans, all categories remained consistent with December 31, 2018, and we have been able to maintain this allocation by growing all areas of our portfolio. The increase over the quarter ended September 30, 2019 was due to increases in commercial real estate of $34.8 million, $14.2 million in residential real estate and $10.1 million in construction, land and land development loans

Total deposits increased $164.3 million, or 20.5%, to $968.0 million at December 31, 2019 from $803.6 million at December 31, 2018. The increase is largely due to a $166.5 million increase in core deposits. During the year ended December 31, 2019 noninterest bearing deposits increased $77.7 million, or 26.5%, to $371.2 million from $293.5 million at December 31, 2018. NOW and money market accounts increased $88.0 million, savings accounts were static, BaaS-brokered deposits increased $13.1 million and time deposits decreased $15.2 million. Total deposits increased $45.7 million or 5.0% compared to September 30, 2019. This increase was largely due to an increase in noninterest bearing deposits of $22.2 million and $21.6 million increase in NOW and money market accounts. Our efforts to grow noninterest bearing and other core deposits is evidenced by the steady increase in these categories when compared to total deposits.

Total shareholders’ equity increased $15.0 million since December 31, 2018. The increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily due to $13.2 million in net earnings during the year and a $1.3 million increase in additional other comprehensive income. During the third quarter of 2019, we sold $30.0 million of longer-term Treasury bonds (6-year average life) and replaced them with shorter-term Treasury bonds (less than 1-year average life) and certificates of deposit with one year maturities. As a result, our exposure to declines in the value of our available for sale investment portfolio has decreased.

Asset Quality

The allowance for loan losses was 1.22% of loans receivable at December 31, 2019 compared to 1.25% at September 30, 2019 and 1.23% at December 31, 2018. Provision for loan losses totaled $820,000 for the current quarter, $637,000 for the preceding quarter, and $425,000 for the same quarter in the prior year. Net charge-offs totaled $238,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, compared to net charge-offs of $192,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 and $129,000 net charge-offs for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. Net charge-offs totaled $481,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $436,000 in net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2018.

At December 31, 2019 our nonperforming assets were $1.0 million, or 0.09% of total assets, compared to $1.3 million or 0.12% of total assets at September 30, 2019, and $1.8 million, or 0.19% of total assets at December 31, 2018. There were no repossessed assets or other real estate owned at December 31, 2019.

Our nonperforming loans to loans receivable ratio was 0.11% at December 31, 2019, compared to 0.24% at December 31, 2018. Commercial and industrial nonaccrual loans totaled $965,000 at quarter end, and consisted of six lending relationships. During the fourth quarter charge-offs totaled $230,000 on nonperforming loans. Principal reductions along with the aforementioned charge-offs resulted in an overall decrease in our ratios of nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets to total assets compared to December 31, 2018. No additional loans were moved to nonperforming status in the fourth quarter.

Credit quality has remained stable throughout 2019 as demonstrated by the low level of charge-offs and declining nonperforming loan balance.

This earnings release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our financial performance. Any statements about our management’s expectations, beliefs, plans, predictions, forecasts, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believes,” “can,” “could,” “may,” “predicts,” “potential,” “should,” “will,” “estimate,” “plans,” “projects,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “intends” and similar words or phrases. Any or all of the forward-looking statements in this earnings release may turn out to be inaccurate. The inclusion of or reference to forward-looking information in this earnings release should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the future plans, estimates or expectations contemplated by us will be achieved. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the risks and uncertainties discussed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the most recent period filed, and in any of our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what we anticipate. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.

(1) Core deposits are defined as all deposits excluding BaaS-brokered and time deposits. 
(2) Share and per share amounts are based on total common shares outstanding, which includes common stock and nonvoting common stock. 
(3) We calculate book value per share as total shareholders’ equity at the end of the relevant period divided by the outstanding number of our common shares, which includes common stock and nonvoting common stock, at the end of each period. 
(4) Tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP financial measure. We calculate tangible book value per share as total shareholders’ equity at the end of the relevant period, less goodwill and other intangible assets, divided by the outstanding number of our common shares, which includes common stock and nonvoting common stock, at the end of each period. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is book value per share. We had no goodwill or other intangible assets as of any of the dates indicated. As a result, tangible book value per share is the same as book value per share as of each of the dates indicated. 
(5) Annualized calculations.               
(6) Capital ratios are for the Company, Coastal Financial Corporation.
