American Riviera Bancorp (“Company”) (OTCQX: ARBV), holding company of American Riviera Bank (“Bank”), announced today unaudited net income of $3.2 million ($0.61 per share) for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This represents a 23% increase in net income from the $2.6 million ($0.50 per share) earned in the same reporting period in the prior year.
Core loans, excluding SBA PPP loans, have grown 17% or $114.9 million over the last year since March 31, 2021. Core loans have grown 3% or $22.9 million in the last quarter since December 31, 2021. PPP loan forgiveness has been efficiently handled for our small business clients, and only $11.6 million of these 1.00% interest rate loans remained outstanding at March 31, 2022. In the last year, the Bank originated higher-yielding core loans at a volume which exceeded PPP forgiveness and repayments. The Bank maintained strong credit quality with no other real estate owned, no loans 90 days or more past due, and only $2.8 million or 0.36% of total loans excluding PPP on non-accrual status, which are well supported by collateral.
The Bank continues to experience tremendous deposit growth with a 27% or $263.2 million increase in total deposits over the last year since March 31, 2021. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits increased 19% or $76.4 million over the last year. Deposit inflows from our clients have been the driving factor in the total assets of the Company increasing 26% or $278.7 million since March 31, 2021 to a total of $1.4 billion at March 31, 2022.
Jeff DeVine, President and Chief Executive Officer, noted, “2022 is off to a great start! The formation of American Riviera Bancorp this quarter and its issuance of $18.0 million of 3.75% fixed to floating rate subordinated notes will bolster capital ratios at the Bank level and support our continued growth. SBA PPP loans have been replaced by higher-yielding core loans, and our sizeable balance sheet liquidity will generate increased interest income in a rising rate environment.”
As of March 31, 2022, the Company and Bank continue to be well capitalized with Tier 1 Capital ratios of 11% and 13%, respectively. The tangible book value per share of American Riviera Bancorp common stock is $16.33 at March 31, 2022.
