Fourth Quarter 2024 Performance and Operational Highlights

In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company had an improved net interest margin, which resulted in higher net interest income and earnings, along with slightly higher loans and deposits. A significant stock repurchase transaction was completed, and a stock repurchase program for 2025 was renewed. During the fourth quarter, the target range of the federal funds rate was reduced by 50 basis points (“bps”).

  • Net income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $9.3 million compared to $8.8 million for the prior quarter. Net income for the fourth quarter benefited from an improved net interest margin fully tax equivalent (“FTE”) and higher net interest income.
  • Net interest income and net interest margin FTE increased for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the prior quarter. Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $23.7 million compared to $22.5 million for the prior quarter. Net interest margin FTE for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 3.09% compared to 2.98% for the prior quarter. These improvements were due to higher loan balances, combined with higher securities yields and lower deposit rates.
  • As of December 31, 2024, assets were $3.15 billion, which was $47.8 million, or 1.5%, higher than September 30, 2024. The increase was mainly due to a $58.0 million increase in deposits.
  • Deposits totaled $2.81 billion as of December 31, 2024, an increase of $58.0 million, or 2.1%, compared to $2.75 billion as of September 30, 2024. This increase was mainly due to the seasonal inflow of funds from public entity customers.
  • As of December 31, 2024, loans held for investment (“HFI”) were $2.08 billion, slightly higher than $2.06 billion as of September 30, 2024. In the third and fourth quarters of 2024, we closed on a high level of loan commitments, which we expect to fund over time.
  • As of December 31, 2024, total securities were $684.9 million, which was $12.8 million, or 1.8%, lower than September 30, 2024. Securities decreased mainly due to having a larger net unrealized loss on securities available-for-sale (“AFS”). New securities purchased were offset by securities maturities and principal repayments.
  • As of December 31, 2024, liquid assets, which are cash and cash equivalents, were $269.0 million, and the liquid assets to assets ratio was 8.54%. We do not have any borrowings, brokered deposits, or internet-sourced deposits.
  • In the fourth quarter of 2024, the provision for credit losses totaled $300,000. This included $200,000 for loans and $100,000 for unfunded loan commitments.
  • As of December 31, 2024, nonperforming assets (“NPA(s)”) were $3.3 million, or 0.10% of assets, and the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) was $21.7 million, or 1.05% of loans HFI.
  • We paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per common share in the fourth quarter of 2024.
  • The 2024 stock repurchase program authorized us to purchase up to $5.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. Under this plan, in the fourth quarter of 2024, we repurchased 632 shares on the open market at an aggregate cost of $33,000. The 2024 stock repurchase program expired on December 31, 2024, with $1.1 million of remaining availability. On December 19, 2024, our Board of Directors approved the renewal of our stock repurchase program for 2025. The 2025 stock repurchase program authorizes us to purchase up to $5.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025.
  • On November 5, 2024, we entered into a privately negotiated stock repurchase agreement for the repurchase of 50,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $2.5 million. This repurchase was supplemental to our 2024 stock repurchase program.
  • In 2024, we repurchased 327,085 shares of our common stock. For the year ended December 31, 2024, these repurchases benefited earnings per share by $0.14.
  • As of December 31, 2024, capital levels were strong, with a stockholders’ equity to assets ratio of 10.15%, a leverage ratio of 11.86%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 18.28%.
  • In the fourth quarter of 2024, we continued implementing our organic expansion plan. We purchased property in Lafayette, Louisiana and plan to build a new banking center at that location, which would be our second banking center in the Acadiana market.
  • The American Banker publication included Red River Bank in its “2024 Best Banks To Work For” ranking.

Blake Chatelain, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased to finish out 2024 with a strong fourth quarter, which included steady net interest margin improvement, higher net income, solid loan activity, and good liquidity.

“In the fourth quarter, the Federal Reserve lowered short-term interest rates; however, longer term rates remained fairly consistent. Due to diligent balance sheet management, our net interest margin FTE increased by 11 bps and net interest income increased by 5.5% in the fourth quarter. New loan activity was very good in the fourth quarter; however, the loan portfolio was impacted by higher than normal paydowns on loans. For the second quarter in a row, we closed on a significant amount of construction loan commitments, which we expect to fund over time. Our balance sheet is well positioned for the forecasted interest rate environment and a normal shaped yield curve. This should enable us to continue improving the net interest margin slightly in the first half of 2025.

“In the fourth quarter of 2024, we completed a third, significant private stock repurchase transaction. In 2024, we repurchased 4.6% of outstanding shares, which positively impacted earnings per share, while also maintaining strong capital levels and ratios.

“The fourth quarter of 2024 wrapped up a good year for our Company and our communities. Our Company is well positioned for the future, with robust capital and liquidity levels combined with a great team of community bankers. We look forward to 2025 as we continue to grow and build value for our shareholders.”

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin FTE

Net interest income and net interest margin FTE increased in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the prior quarter. These measures were both impacted by improved yields on securities, as well as lower deposit rates. After keeping the federal funds rate consistent since the third quarter of 2023, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) decreased the federal funds rate by 50 bps in September of 2024, and by an additional 50 bps during the fourth quarter of 2024.

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $23.7 million, which was $1.2 million, or 5.5%, higher than the third quarter of 2024, due to a $729,000 increase in interest and dividend income, combined with a $501,000 decrease in interest expense. The increase in interest and dividend income was due to higher interest income on loans and securities. Loan income increased $376,000 primarily due to higher average loan balances during the fourth quarter. Securities income increased $289,000 due to reinvesting lower yielding securities cash flows into higher yielding securities. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to lower rates on interest-bearing transaction deposits and time deposits.

The net interest margin FTE increased 11 bps to 3.09% for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 2.98% for the prior quarter. This increase was due to improved yields on securities, combined with lower deposit costs. The yield on securities increased 13 bps due to reinvesting lower yielding securities cash flows into higher yielding securities. The yield on loans increased 2 bps due to higher rates on new and renewed loans compared to the existing portfolio yield. The average rate on new and renewed loans was 7.25% for the fourth quarter of 2024 and 7.89% for the prior quarter. The cost of deposits decreased 10 bps to 1.71% for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 1.81% for the previous quarter, due to our lowering of selected deposit rates. As a result of this change, there was a 17 bp decrease in the rate on interest-bearing transaction deposits and a 9 bp decrease on time deposits during the fourth quarter.

The FOMC lowered the federal funds rate by 50 bps in the fourth quarter of 2024, reducing the target federal funds range to 4.25%-4.50%. The market’s expectation is that the FOMC may lower the target range of the federal funds rate by at least 25 bps in 2025. In 2025, we anticipate receiving approximately $101.0 million in securities cash flows with an average yield of 3.01%, and we project approximately $194.0 million of fixed rate loans will mature with an average yield of 6.04%. We expect to redeploy these balances into higher yielding assets. Additionally, in 2025, we expect $541.9 million of time deposits to mature with an average rate of 4.10%, which we anticipate repricing into lower cost deposits. As of December 31, 2024, floating rate loans were 16.0% of loans HFI, and floating rate transaction deposits were 8.1% of interest-bearing transaction deposits. Depending on balance sheet activity and the movement in interest rates, we expect the net interest income and net interest margin FTE to improve slightly during the first half of 2025.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses for the third and fourth quarters of 2024 was $300,000, which included $200,000 for loans and $100,000 for unfunded loan commitments for each quarter. The provision in the third and fourth quarters was due to potential economic challenges resulting from the recent inflationary environment, changing monetary policy, and loan growth. In the second half of 2024, we had an increase in unfunded loan commitments. 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 $5.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, a decrease of $424,000, or 7.8%, compared to $5.4 million for the previous quarter. The decrease was mainly due to a loss on equity securities and lower loan and deposit 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 $91,000 in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to a gain of $107,000 for the previous quarter.

Loan and deposit income totaled $463,000 for the fourth quarter of 2024, a decrease of $125,000, or 21.3%, compared to $588,000 for the previous quarter. The third quarter of 2024 benefited from the receipt of a $151,000 nonrecurring loan related fee.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses totaled $16.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, which was fairly consistent with the previous quarter. Higher occupancy and equipment expenses were offset by lower other taxes.

Occupancy and equipment expenses totaled $1.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, which was $55,000, or 3.3% higher than the previous quarter. In the fourth quarter of 2024, there was $35,000 of nonrecurring expenses related to a new administrative office in the New Orleans market.

Other taxes totaled $547,000 for the fourth quarter of 2024, a decrease of $75,000, or 12.1%, compared to $622,000 for the previous quarter. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the State of Louisiana bank stock tax expense was lower due to a $68,000 adjustment with receipt of the year-end bank stock tax invoices.

Asset Overview

As of December 31, 2024, assets were $3.15 billion, compared to assets of $3.10 billion as of September 30, 2024, an increase of $47.8 million, or 1.5%.

Securities

The increase in deposits in the fourth quarter of 2024 was mainly due to the seasonal inflow of funds from public entity customers, partially offset by a decrease in commercial customer deposit balances related to normal business activity.

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

As of December 31, 2024, our estimated uninsured deposits, which are the portion of deposit accounts that exceed the FDIC insurance limit (currently $250,000), were approximately $879.8 million, or 31.4% of total deposits. This amount was estimated based on the same methodologies and assumptions used for regulatory reporting purposes. Also, as of December 31, 2024, our estimated uninsured deposits, excluding collateralized public entity deposits, were approximately $667.6 million, or 23.8% of total deposits. Our cash and cash equivalents of $269.0 million, combined with our available borrowing capacity of $1.62 billion, equaled 214.6% of our estimated uninsured deposits and 282.8% of our estimated uninsured deposits, excluding collateralized public entity deposits.

Stockholders’ Equity

Total stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2024, was $319.7 million compared to $324.3 million as of September 30, 2024. The $4.6 million, or 1.4%, decrease in stockholders’ equity during the fourth quarter of 2024 was attributable to a $10.6 million, net of tax, market adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss related to securities, the repurchase of 50,632 shares of common stock for $2.7 million, and $610,000 in cash dividends related to a $0.09 per share cash dividend that we paid on December 19, 2024. The common stock repurchase of $2.7 million includes $213,000 of stock repurchase excise tax related to our 2023 and 2024 stock repurchases, which tax regulations require to be recorded as a reduction to shareholders’ equity. These decreases in stockholders’ equity were partially offset by $9.3 million of net income and $95,000 of stock compensation.

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 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.
