Loading...
Loading...

American Riviera Bank (OTC Markets: ARBV) announced today unaudited net income of $5,000,000 ($0.99 per share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This represents a 4% increase in net income from the $4,821,000 ($0.96 per share) for the same reporting period in the prior year. The Bank reported record unaudited net income of $2,264,000 ($0.45 per share) for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020. This represents a 46% increase from the $1,547,000 ($0.31 per share) for the same quarter last year.

Jeff DeVine, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Despite significant uncertainty in the economy, the Bank generated record earnings in the third quarter, reflecting the diversity of our business model and growing market share position. Thanks to the hard work of our employees and our solid financial footing, we have been able to serve as economic first responders to our clients and Central Coast communities impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic."

The Bank has experienced a significant decrease in temporary loan payment deferrals for clients negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Total loans on deferral at September 30, 2020 were approximately $18 million, representing 3% of total loans excluding SBA PPP, and have notably fallen from the $108 million reported at June 30, 2020. Approximately $5 million of such deferrals are to borrowers wishing to conserve cash for the economic uncertainty, and who have asked for the principal portion of their payments to be deferred while continuing to pay interest. The remaining $13 million are full deferrals of both principal and interest on loans secured by commercial real estate with significant equity cushion (see detail on Loan Deferrals exhibit). The sizeable increase in loan loss provision year-to-date was primarily driven by qualitative factors in our loan loss methodology related to COVID-19 pandemic economic uncertainty, and not by actual delinquencies or defaults. At September 30, 2020, the Bank had no other real estate owned and no loans 90 days or more past due.

The Bank has experienced tremendous growth in new and existing relationships, reporting $930 million in total assets as of September 30, 2020, which represents a $233 million or 33% increase from September 30, 2019. Total loans including SBA PPP increased 32% from September 30, 2019, reaching $722 million at September 30, 2020. Total loans excluding SBA PPP increased $57 million or 10% from September 30, 2019, reaching $605 million at September 30, 2020. Total deposits increased 37% from September 30, 2019, reaching $829 million at September 30, 2020. Non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts increased $123 million or 59% from the same reporting period in the prior year. Interest bearing demand deposit accounts increased $31 million or 39% from the same reporting period in the prior year.

As of September 30, 2020, American Riviera Bank was highly liquid with $179 million in cash and available-for-sale securities, and well capitalized with a Tier 1 Capital Ratio of 12% (well above the regulatory guideline of 8% for well capitalized institutions). The tangible book value per share of American Riviera Bank common stock was $15.11 at September 30, 2020.
