White River Bancshares Co. Earns $1.42 Million, or $1.42 Per Diluted Share, in Fourth Quarter 2022 and Earns $5.62 Million, or $5.64 Per Diluted Share for the Year; Highlighted By Strong Quarterly Loan and Deposit Growth
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark., Jan. 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — White River Bancshares Company (OTCQX: WRIV), (the “Company”) the holding company for Signature Bank of Arkansas (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $1.42 million, or $1.42 per dilute share, in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $1.50 million, or $1.50 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2021. In the immediate prior quarter, the Company earned $1.33 million, or $1.34 per diluted share. For the full year 2022, net income was $5.62 million, or $5.64 per diluted share, compared to $7.05 million, or $7.23 per diluted share, in 2021. All financial results are unaudited.
“2022 was a transformational year for our Company,” said Gary Head, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We opened new markets in Harrison and Jonesboro earlier in the year, which are parts of our state that have been searching for a more personalized approach to its community banking needs. Later in the year, we opened Banco Sí! in downtown Rogers, a new division of our Company dedicated to serving the needs of our growing Hispanic and Latino population with a fully bilingual staff. This market expansion contributed to double digit loan and deposit growth for the year, which fueled our compelling results and strengthened our balance sheet. While these investments in market expansions impacted net income for the year, we were still able to achieve the second highest annual earnings in our Company’s history. Looking ahead, our plans for 2023 are to focus on expanding our presence in the markets we opened last year and improving our performance metrics.”
“A large part of our market growth strategy was to build out our deposit base to fund new loan activity with low cost deposits to reduce our reliance on borrowed funds. We continue to strengthen our core funding mix and, as a result, total deposits increased 11.6% compared to a year ago, with demand and non-interest bearing deposits representing 30.5% of total deposits and savings and interest bearing transaction accounts representing 40.5% of total deposits at year end,” said Scott Sandlin, Chief Strategy Officer. “New customer relationships are fueling the deposit growth and we expect that to continue as we grow into our new locations.”

Income Statement
The Company’s NIM expanded 14 basis points to 3.80% in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to 3.66% in the fourth quarter of 2021. In the third quarter of 2022, the Company’s NIM was 3.88%. For the year 2022, the NIM improved 12 basis points to 3.83%, compared to 3.71% in 2021.
“The changes we made in our investments and funding mix over the last several quarters, augmented by the Fed rate increases, resulted in net interest margin expansion during the fourth quarter compared to the fourth quarter a year ago,” said Brant Ward, Chief Operating Officer. “However, fourth quarter NIM contracted slightly from the third quarter due to a modest increase in funding costs.”
Net interest income increased 18.9% to $8.8 million, compared to $7.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Total interest income increased 33.6% to $11.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $8.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Total interest expense increased to $2.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, from $986,000 during the fourth quarter of 2021. For the year 2022, net interest income increased 16.3% to $32.9 million, compared to $28.3 million in 2021.
Noninterest income decreased 17.9% to $1.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $1.5 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. Substantially lower secondary market fee income, and to a lesser extent lower wealth management fee income due to volatility in the stock market contributed to the decline during the fourth quarter of 2022. For the year 2022, noninterest income decreased 15.9% to $5.5 million, compared to $6.6 million in 2021.
Noninterest expense increased to $7.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $6.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Costs associated with the two new markets, higher commissions due to increased revenues in business lines, and an increase in salaries and employee benefits due to wage competition contributed to the increase during the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to the fourth quarter a year ago. For the year, noninterest expense increased to $30.1 million, compared to $25.3 million in 2021.
Balance Sheet
Total assets increased 15.4% to $982.7 million at December 31, 2022, from $852.0 million at December 31, 2021, and increased 5.1% compared to $935.0 million at September 30, 2022. Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $11.8 million at December 31, 2022 from $45.9 million a year ago and decreased when compared to $16.5 million at September 30, 2022. Investment securities increased 17.2% to $94.4 million at December 31, 2022, from $80.6 million a year ago, as the Company continued to move cash balances into better yielding investment securities during the quarter.
Loans, net of allowance for loan losses, increased 20.6% to $826.7 million at December 31, 2022, compared to $685.4 million a year ago, and increased 5.9% compared to $780.5 million three months earlier.
“Loan growth was solid during the quarter, increasing $46.3 million over the three-month period, and the loan pipeline remains strong,” said Jeff Maland, Chief Risk Officer.
Total deposits increased 11.6% to $810.6 million at December 31, 2022, compared to $726.2 million a year ago and increased 2.4% compared to $791.5 million at September 30, 2022. New customer relationships continue to account for a majority of the deposit growth year-over-year.
FHLB advances increased during the quarter to $31.7 million at December 31, 2022, from $12.3 million at December 31, 2021. Total stockholders’ equity was $77.5 million at December 31, 2022, compared to $80.2 million at December 31, 2021, and $75.4 million at September 30, 2022. Tangible book value per common share was $77.64 at December 31, 2022, from $80.77 at December 31, 2021, and $75.73 at September 30, 2022. The decrease in total stockholders’ equity and tangible book value per share during the current quarter compared to the year ago was primarily due to a $8.3 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) related primarily to an increase in the unrealized loss on available for sale securities reflecting the increase in interest rates during the current quarter. Excluding AOCI, tangible book value per share was $88.64 at December 31, 2022.
Credit Quality
“Our asset quality remains strong, and we continue to focus on maintaining a moderate risk profile,” said Maland. “We recorded a $350,000 provision for loan losses due to the extraordinary levels of loan growth during the fourth quarter. This compared to a $410,000 provision for loan losses in the third quarter of 2022, and no provision for loan losses in the fourth quarter of 2021.”
Nonperforming loans totaled $124,000 at December 31, 2022. This compared to $153,000 in nonperforming loans at September 30, 2022, and $221,000 in nonperforming loans at December 31, 2021. Nonperforming assets were $123,000 at December 31, 2022, compared to $153,000 at September 30, 2022, and $932,000 at December 31, 2021. Total nonperforming assets were 0.01% of total assets at December 31, 2022, compared to 0.02% at September 30, 2022, and 0.11% at December 31, 2021.
The allowance for loan losses was $9.2 million, or 1.10% of total loans, at December 31, 2022, compared to $8.2 million, or 1.18% of total loans, at December 31, 2021. Net loan recoveries were $105,000 in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to net loan recoveries of $43,000 in the third quarter of 2022, and net loan charge-offs of $394,000 in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Capital
The Bank’s capital ratios continued to exceed regulatory “well-capitalized” requirements, with a Total risk based capital ratio estimate of 13.16%, Common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 12.13%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 12.13% and Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.88%, at December 31, 2022.
On July 13, 2022, the Company issued $15 million in subordinated notes to certain qualified institutional accredited investors through a private placement offering. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to down stream capital to the bank for growth and for general corporate purposes.
Recent Developments
The Company launched a new market, Banco Sí, to focus on and serve the Latino community, which is a growing segment of the population. This new market was formed as a division of Signature Bank of Arkansas during the third quarter of 2022, and its initial market location opened in downtown Rogers in a historic building at 114 S. First St.
“The Latino community has grown to become the largest minority community in the region and the United States, and we believe it is underserved,” said Ward. “Our mission is to create economic growth and access to banking services, capital, and funds for small and midsize businesses. To help us accelerate our outreach and engagement of this growing community and to grow our capability to better serve them, we employed bilingual staff and invested in multicultural inclusion training for our leadership and staff.”
During the first quarter of 2022, the Company opened its seventh market, located at 111 East Jackson Avenue in Jonesboro. This facility will serve as a temporary location for the market and marks the Company’s entry into Craighead County. According to the 2020 Census, Jonesboro had a population of 78,576 and is the fifth-largest city in Arkansas.
During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company opened its sixth market, located in Harrison in the Durand Center at 303 N. Main Street, Suite 100. Harrison, located in the heart of the Ozark Mountains, is nationally recognized as one of the “Best Small Towns in America” and was previously featured in Where to Retire Magazine as one of the best retirement towns in the United States. https://www.cityofharrison.com/
