October 26, 2023 at 16:05 PM EDT

The Bancorp, Inc. ("The Bancorp" or “we”) (NASDAQ: TBBK), a financial holding company, today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2023.

Highlights

The Bancorp reported net income of $50.1 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to net income of $30.6 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, or a 70% increase in income per diluted share.
Return on assets and equity for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 amounted to 2.7% and 26%, respectively, compared to 1.7% and 18%, respectively, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 (all percentages “annualized”).
Net interest income increased 37% to $88.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to $64.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. Net interest income increases reflected the impact of continuing Federal Reserve rate increases on The Bancorp’s variable rate loans and securities.
Net interest margin amounted to 5.07% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to 3.69% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, and 4.83% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Loans, net of deferred fees and costs were $5.20 billion at September 30, 2023, compared to $5.49 billion at December 31, 2022 and $5.27 billion at September 30, 2022. Those changes reflected a decrease of 1% quarter over linked quarter and a decrease of 1% year over year.
Gross dollar volume (“GDV”), representing the total amounts spent on prepaid and debit cards, increased $4.85 billion, or 17%, to $32.97 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The increase reflects continued organic growth with existing partners and the impact of clients added within the past year. Total prepaid, debit card, ACH and other payment fees increased 12% to $24.1 million for the third quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2022.
Small business loans (“SBL”), including those held at fair value, grew 13% year over year to $830.1 million at September 30, 2023, and 3% quarter over linked quarter. That growth excludes Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan balances which amounted to $2.3 million and $6.7 million at September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.
Direct lease financing balances increased 12% year over year to $670.2 million at September 30, 2023, and 2% quarter over linked quarter.
At September 30, 2023, real estate bridge loans of $1.85 billion had grown 1% compared to the $1.83 billion balance at June 30, 2023, and 24% compared to the September 30, 2022 balance of $1.49 billion. These real estate bridge loans consist entirely of apartment buildings.
Security backed lines of credit (“SBLOC”), insurance backed lines of credit (“IBLOC”) and investment advisor financing loans collectively decreased 24% year over year and decreased 7% quarter over linked quarter to $1.92 billion at September 30, 2023.
The average interest rate on $6.41 billion of average deposits and interest-bearing liabilities during the third quarter of 2023 was 2.50%. Average deposits of $6.29 billion for the third quarter of 2023 reflected an increase of 3% from the $6.11 billion of average deposits for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, and a 3% decrease from $6.48 billion of average deposits in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease reflected the planned exit of $200 million of higher cost funds on July 1, 2023. Not included in deposit totals are deposits which are sold to other financial institutions totaling $334.7 million at September 30, 2023.
The Bancorp emphasizes safety and soundness, and liquidity. The vast majority of its funding is comprised of insured and small balance accounts. The Bancorp also has lines of credit with U.S. government agencies totaling approximately $2.7 billion as of September 30, 2023, as well as access to other liquidity.
As of September 30, 2023, tier one capital to assets (leverage), tier one capital to risk-weighted assets, total capital to risk-weighted assets and common equity-tier 1 to risk-weighted assets ratios were 10.92%, 15.53%, 16.04% and 15.53%, respectively, compared to well-capitalized minimums of 5%, 8%, 10% and 6.5%, respectively. The Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Bancorp Bank, National Association, each remain well capitalized under banking regulations.
Book value per common share at September 30, 2023 was $14.36 per share compared to $11.81 per common share at September 30, 2022, an increase of 22%.
The Bancorp repurchased 685,478 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $36.47 per share during the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

CEO and President Damian Kozlowski commented, “The Bancorp continues to produce record core profitability and exemplar financial performance in a challenging interest rate and macro environment for most financial institutions. We are initiating 2024 preliminary guidance of $4.25 a share without including the impact of share buybacks. The 2024 guidance is 18% earnings growth over 2023 guidance. In addition, as a result of our investments in growth and efficiency, the Bancorp’s increased ROE is driving a continued increase in our regulatory capital ratios. With the reg ii Durbin balance sheet limit of $10 billion, we are fast approaching the maximum equity capital needed to support our business growth into the future. Therefore, we are significantly increasing our planned buyback in 2024 by $100 million to $200 million or $50 million a quarter from $25 million a quarter.”

⁽¹⁾SBLOC are collateralized by marketable securities, while IBLOC are collateralized by the cash surrender value of insurance policies. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, IBLOC loans amounted to $712.6 million and $1.12 billion, respectively.

⁽²⁾In 2020 The Bancorp began originating loans to investment advisors for purposes of debt refinancing, acquisition of another firm or internal succession. Maximum loan amounts are subject to loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratios of 70% of the business enterprise value based on a third-party valuation, but may be increased depending upon the debt service coverage ratio. Personal guarantees and blanket business liens are obtained as appropriate.

⁽³⁾Includes demand deposit overdrafts reclassified as loan balances totaling $215,000 and $2.6 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Estimated overdraft charge-offs and recoveries are reflected in the allowance for credit losses and are immaterial.

⁽⁴⁾The SBLs held at fair value are comprised of the government guaranteed portion of 7(a) Program loans at the dates indicated.

⁽¹⁾Includes the portion of SBA 7(a) Program loans and PPP loans which have been guaranteed by the U.S. government, and therefore are assumed to have no credit risk.

⁽²⁾Substantially all these loans are made under the 504 Program, which dictates origination date LTV percentages, generally 50-60%, to which The Bancorp adheres.

⁽³⁾Includes $4.0 million in 504 Program first mortgages with an origination date LTV of 50-60%, and $7.0 million in SBA interim loans with an approved SBA post-construction full takeout/payoff.

⁽⁴⁾Includes the unguaranteed portion of 7(a) Program loans which are 70% or more guaranteed by the U.S. government. SBA 7(a) Program loans are not made on the basis of real estate LTV; however, they are subject to SBA's "All Available Collateral" rule which mandates that to the extent a borrower or its 20% or greater principals have available collateral (including personal residences), the collateral must be pledged to fully collateralize the loan, after applying SBA-determined liquidation rates. In addition, all 7(a) Program loans and 504 Program loans require the personal guaranty of all 20% or greater owners.

Advisor financing		199	10%
Total	$	1,920	100%

For SBLOC, we generally lend up to 50% of the value of equities and 80% for investment grade securities. While the value of equities has fallen in excess of 30% in recent years, the reduction in collateral value of brokerage accounts collateralizing SBLOCs generally has been less, for two reasons. First, many collateral accounts are “balanced” and accordingly have a component of debt securities, which have either not decreased in value as much as equities, or in some cases may have increased in value. Second, many of these accounts have the benefit of professional investment advisors who provided some protection against market downturns, through diversification and other means. Additionally, borrowers often utilize only a portion of collateral value, which lowers the percentage of principal to collateral.

Insurance backed lines of credit (IBLOC)

IBLOC loans are backed by the cash value of eligible life insurance policies which have been assigned to us. We generally lend up to 95% of such cash value. Our underwriting standards require approval of the insurance companies which carry the policies backing these loans. Currently, fifteen insurance companies have been approved and, as of September 30, 2023, all were rated A- (Excellent) or better by AM BEST.
