Bridgewater Bancshares, Inc. Announces Record Fourth Quarter 2021 Net Income of $12.5 Million, $0.39 Diluted Earnings Per Common Share

Bridgewater Bancshares, Inc. (Nasdaq: BWB) (the Company), the parent company of Bridgewater Bank (the Bank), today announced net income of $12.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, an 8.7% increase over net income of $11.5 million for the third quarter of 2021, and a 151.3% increase over net income of $5.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Net income per diluted common share for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $0.39, a 1.2% decrease compared to $0.40 per diluted common share for the third quarter of 2021, and a 126.1% increase compared to $0.17 per diluted common share for the same period in 2020.

“Bridgewater reported a fourth consecutive quarter of record net income driven by the continuation of many of the same trends and momentum we created throughout 2021,” said Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President, Jerry Baack. “During the quarter, we continued to generate strong loan production and gather high-quality deposits across the Twin Cities market, leading to robust balance sheet growth. This level of consistent growth in today’s environment, along with a business model operating with a low 40% adjusted efficiency ratio, stable net interest margin and strong asset quality, remain key differentiators for us. As we look ahead to 2022, we expect to continue to leverage the ongoing M&A-related market disruption and our strengthening brand to drive additional balance sheet and revenue growth; make proactive investments in business scalability, automation and back-office functions; and maintain our highly efficient operating strategy. With a hard-working team of talented professionals supporting our clients every day and a strong capital and liquidity position, we are poised to build on our momentum into 2022 and beyond.”

The Company today also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on its 5.875% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A ("Series A Preferred Stock"). The quarterly cash dividend of $36.72 per share, equivalent to $0.3672 per depositary share, each representing a 1/100th interest in a share of the Series A Preferred Stock (Nasdaq: BWBBP), is payable on March 1, 2022 to shareholders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock at the close of business on February 15, 2022.

Income Statement

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $29.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of $480,000, or 1.7%, from $28.7 million in the third quarter of 2021, and an increase of $4.3 million, or 17.4%, from $24.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The linked-quarter and year-over-year increases in net interest income were primarily due to growth in average interest earning assets and lower rates paid on deposits, offset partially by declining yields on loans. Average interest earning assets were $3.32 billion for the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of $86.3 million, or 2.7%, from $3.23 billion for the third quarter of 2021, and an increase of $561.1 million, or 20.3%, from $2.76 billion for the fourth quarter of 2020. The linked-quarter increase in average interest earning assets was primarily due to continued strong organic growth in the loan portfolio, offset partially by the payoff of PPP loans and the reduction of cash balances. The year-over-year increase in average interest earning assets was primarily due to increased cash balances, continued purchases of investment securities, and strong organic growth in the loan portfolio, offset partially by the payoff of PPP loans.

Net interest margin (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) for the fourth quarter of 2021 was 3.51%, a 3 basis point decrease from 3.54% in the third quarter of 2021, and a 10 basis point decrease from 3.61% in the fourth quarter of 2020. Core net interest margin (on a fully tax-equivalent basis), a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes the impact of loan fees and PPP balances, interest, and fees, for the fourth quarter of 2021 was 3.25%, a 3 basis point increase from 3.22% in the third quarter of 2021, and a 4 basis point decline from 3.29% in the fourth quarter of 2020.

As the PPP loan portfolio pays down, the recognition of fees associated with the originations has benefited net interest margin for each of the past four quarters. The SBA has been forgiving PPP loans, which has accelerated the recognition of PPP fees starting in the fourth quarter of 2020 and continuing through the fourth quarter of 2021. The Company recognized $958,000 of PPP origination fees during the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $1.6 million during the third quarter of 2021. The elevated fee recognition is illustrated in the 10.51% PPP loan yield for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to 9.15% for the third quarter of 2021. Remaining PPP origination fees to be recognized as of December 31, 2021 were $898,000.

Interest income was $33.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of $258,000, or 0.8%, from $33.5 million in the third quarter of 2021, and an increase of $3.1 million, or 10.0%, from $30.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The yield on interest earning assets (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) was 4.06% in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to 4.14% in the third quarter of 2021, and 4.46% in the fourth quarter of 2020. The linked-quarter decrease in the yield on interest earning assets was primarily due to the historically low interest rate environment resulting in a lower core loan yield, as well as lower PPP origination fees recognized during the period. The year-over-year decline in the yield on interest earning assets was primarily due to excess cash balances and the historically low interest rate environment resulting in lower loan and security yields.

Loan interest income and loan fees remain the primary contributing factors to the changes in yield on interest earning assets. The aggregate loan yield, excluding PPP loans, decreased to 4.41% in the fourth quarter of 2021, which was 10 basis points lower than 4.51% in the third quarter of 2021, and 46 basis points lower than 4.87% in the fourth quarter of 2020. While loan fees have maintained a relatively stable contribution to the aggregate loan yield, the historically low yield curve has resulted in a declining core yield on loans in comparison to both prior periods.

A summary of interest and fees recognized on loans, excluding PPP loans, for the periods indicated is as follows:

Interest expense was $4.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, a decrease of $222,000, or 4.6%, from $4.8 million in the third quarter of 2021, and a decrease of $1.2 million, or 21.1%, from $5.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The cost of interest bearing liabilities declined 2 basis points on a linked-quarter basis from 0.88% in the third quarter of 2021 to 0.86% in the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to lower rates paid on deposits. On a year-over-year basis, the cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased 38 basis points from 1.24% in the fourth quarter of 2020 to 0.86% in the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to lower rates paid on deposits, the payoff of the Company’s notes payable, and the early extinguishment of $94.0 million of longer term FHLB advances, offset partially by strong growth of interest bearing deposits and additional subordinated debentures.

Interest expense on deposits was $3.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, a decrease of $176,000, or 5.2%, from $3.4 million in the third quarter of 2021, and a decrease of $838,000, or 20.5%, from $4.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The cost of total deposits declined 3 basis points on a linked-quarter basis from 0.48% in the third quarter of 2021, and declined 24 basis points on a year-over-year basis from 0.69% in the fourth quarter of 2020, to 0.45% in the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to deposit rate cuts consistent with a lower rate environment and the continued downward repricing of time deposits.

_________________________________

(1)

Interest income and average rates for tax-exempt investment securities and loans are presented on a tax-equivalent basis, assuming a statutory federal income tax rate of 21%.

(2)

Average loan balances include nonaccrual loans. Interest income on loans includes amortization of deferred loan fees, net of deferred loan costs.

(3)

Net interest margin includes the tax equivalent adjustment and represents the annualized results of: (i) the difference between interest income on interest earning assets and the interest expense on interest bearing liabilities, divided by (ii) average interest earning assets for the period.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was $1.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, a decrease of $150,000 from $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2021, and a decrease of $2.8 million from $3.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. The provision recorded in the fourth quarter of 2021 was primarily attributable to growth of the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.42% at December 31, 2021, compared to 1.43% at September 30, 2021, and 1.50% at December 31, 2020. The allowance for loan losses to total loans, excluding PPP loans, was 1.43% at December 31, 2021, compared to 1.46% at September 30, 2021, and 1.59% at December 31, 2020.

As an emerging growth company, the Company is not subject to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments,“ or CECL, until January 1, 2023.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $1.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, a decrease of $122,000 from $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2021, and an increase of $302,000 from $986,000 for the fourth quarter of 2020. The linked-quarter decrease was primarily due to decreased gains on sales of securities and letter of credit fees. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to increased letter of credit fees and bank-owned life insurance income.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $12.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, a decrease of $777,000 from $13.2 million for the third quarter of 2021, and a decrease of $2.8 million from $15.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. The linked-quarter decrease was primarily due to lower salaries and employee benefits related to higher bonus accruals in the third quarter of 2021, and $582,000 of debt prepayment fees associated with a partial early redemption of $11.3 million of subordinated debentures issued in July 2017 that occurred in the third quarter of 2021. The year-over-year decrease was primarily attributable to $5.6 million of debt prepayment fees associated with the early extinguishment of $69.0 million of FHLB term advances incurred in the fourth quarter of 2020, partially offset by an increase in salaries and employee benefits, and marketing and advertising expenses.

The Company continues to add key talent across the organization, reaching 220 full-time equivalent employees at December 31, 2021, compared to 219 employees at September 30, 2021, and 183 employees at December 31, 2020.

The efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 40.8% for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to 43.9% for the third quarter of 2021, and 59.0% for the fourth quarter of 2020. Excluding the impact of certain non-routine income and expenses, the adjusted efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 40.3% for the fourth quarter of 2021, 41.5% for the third quarter of 2021 and 36.6% for the fourth quarter of 2020. The efficiencies of the Company’s “branch-light” model have positioned the Company well, and going forward, provide more flexibility for the Company to make significant investments in technology as the industry adapts to evolving client behavior.

Income Taxes

The effective combined federal and state income tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2021 was 25.7%, a decrease from 26.0% for the third quarter of 2021 and an increase from 25.3% for the fourth quarter of 2020. The effective combined federal and state income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2021 was 25.8%, compared to 23.8% for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Balance Sheet

Total assets at December 31, 2021 were $3.48 billion, a 2.6% increase from $3.39 billion at September 30, 2021, and an 18.8% increase from $2.93 billion at December 31, 2020. The linked-quarter increase in total assets was primarily due to strong organic loan growth, offset partially by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents. The year-over-year increase in total assets was primarily due to robust organic loan growth, as well as the continued purchases of investment securities.

Total gross loans at December 31, 2021 were $2.82 billion, an increase of $107.5 million, or 4.0%, over total gross loans of $2.71 billion at September 30, 2021, and an increase of $493.0 million, or 21.2%, over total gross loans of $2.33 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase in the loan portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2021 was primarily due to growth in the construction and land development, multifamily and CRE nonowner occupied segments, offset partially by the payoff of PPP loans. When excluding PPP loans, gross loans grew $135.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2021, or 20.2% on an annualized basis. The Company's continued strong loan growth has been driven by the expansion of its talented lending teams, PPP-related new client acquisitions, the strong, growing brand of the Bank in the Twin Cities market and the M&A-related market disruption in the Twin Cities resulting in client and banker acquisition opportunities.

Total deposits at December 31, 2021 were $2.95 billion, an increase of $92.1 million, or 3.2%, over total deposits of $2.85 billion at September 30, 2021, and an increase of $444.6 million, or 17.8%, over total deposits of $2.50 billion at December 31, 2020. Deposit growth in the fourth quarter of 2021 was primarily due to an increase in noninterest bearing and interest bearing transaction deposits and savings and money market deposits, offset partially by declines in time deposits and brokered deposits. Similar to the loan portfolio, the growth in core deposits has been a result of successful new client and banker acquisition initiatives and the strong, growing brand of the Bank in the Twin Cities market. However, given the prospect for higher interest rates, management believes deposits could experience fluctuations in future periods.

Capital

Total shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2021 was $379.3 million, an increase of $11.5 million, or 3.1%, over total shareholders’ equity of $367.8 million at September 30, 2021, and an increase of $113.9 million, or 42.9%, over total shareholders’ equity of $265.4 million at December 31, 2020. The linked-quarter increase was due to net income retained. The year-over-year increase was due to net income retained, the issuance of preferred stock and an increase in unrealized gains in the securities and derivatives portfolios.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company repurchased 3,320 shares of its common stock. Shares were repurchased at a weighted average price of $16.36 for a total of $54,000. The Company remains committed to maintaining strong capital levels while enhancing shareholder value as it strategically executes its stock repurchase program in this fluid economic environment.

Tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $10.98 as of December 31, 2021, an increase of 3.3% from $10.62 as of September 30, 2021, and an increase of 17.9% from $9.31 as of December 31, 2020. Tangible common equity as a percentage of tangible assets, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 8.91% at December 31, 2021, compared to 8.81% at September 30, 2021, and 8.96% at December 31, 2020.

Asset Quality

Annualized net charge-offs as a percent of average loans for both the third and fourth quarters of 2021 were 0.00%, compared to 0.08% for the fourth quarter of 2020. At December 31, 2021, the Company’s nonperforming assets, which include nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days and still accruing, and foreclosed assets, were $722,000, or 0.02% of total assets, as compared to $734,000, or 0.02% of total assets at September 30, 2021, and $775,000 or 0.03% of total assets at December 31, 2020.

The Company has increased oversight and analysis of all segments of the loan portfolio in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in vulnerable industries such as hospitality and restaurants, to proactively monitor evolving credit risk. Loans that have potential weaknesses that warrant a watchlist risk rating at December 31, 2021 totaled $49.3 million, compared to $67.4 million at September 30, 2021, and $44.8 million at December 31, 2020. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, the length and extent of the economic uncertainty may result in further watchlist or adverse classifications in the loan portfolio. Loans that warranted a substandard risk rating at December 31, 2021 totaled $22.6 million, compared to $7.7 million at September 30, 2021, and $15.2 million at December 31, 2020. The linked-quarter increase to substandard loans was primarily due to the migration of two relationships previously listed as watch and both negatively impacted by the pandemic. Management continues to actively work with the borrowers and closely monitor substandard credits.

Nonperforming assets are defined as nonaccrual loans plus loans 90 days past due plus foreclosed assets.

The Company developed programs for clients who experienced business and personal disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic by providing interest-only modifications, loan payment deferrals, and extended amortization modifications. In accordance with interagency regulatory guidance and the CARES Act, qualifying loans modified in response to the COVID-19 pandemic are not considered troubled debt restructurings. The Company had 12 modified loans totaling $35.0 million outstanding as of December 31, 2021, representing 1.3% of the total loan portfolio, excluding PPP loans, which is down slightly from $35.4 million at September 30, 2021.

Use of Non-GAAP financial measures

In addition to the results presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the Company routinely supplements its evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to the related GAAP measures, provide meaningful information to investors to help them understand the Company’s operating performance and trends, and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of peers. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Reconciliations of non-GAAP disclosures used in this earnings release to the comparable GAAP measures are provided in the accompanying tables.

Forward-Looking Statements

This earnings release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements concerning plans, estimates, calculations, forecasts and projections with respect to the anticipated future performance of the Company. These statements are often, but not always, identified by words such as “may”, “might”, “should”, “could”, “predict”, “potential”, “believe”, “expect”, “continue”, “will”, “anticipate”, “seek”, “estimate”, “intend”, “plan”, “projection”, “would”, “annualized”, “target” and “outlook”, or the negative version of those words or other comparable words of a future or forward-looking nature.

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: the negative effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including its effects on the economic environment, our clients and our operations, including due to supply chain disruptions, as well as any changes to federal, state or local government laws, regulations or orders in connection with the pandemic; loan concentrations in our portfolio; the overall health of the local and national real estate market; our ability to successfully manage credit risk; business and economic conditions generally and in the financial services industry, nationally and within our market area, including rising rates of inflation; our ability to maintain an adequate level of allowance for loan losses; new or revised accounting standards, including as a result of the future implementation of the Current Expected Credit Loss standard; the concentration of large loans to certain borrowers; the concentration of large deposits from certain clients; our ability to successfully manage liquidity risk, especially in light of recent excess liquidity at the Bank; our dependence on non-core funding sources and our cost of funds; our ability to raise additional capital to implement our business plan; our ability to implement our growth strategy and manage costs effectively; developments and uncertainty related to the future use and availability of some reference rates, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate, as well as other alternative reference rates; the composition of our senior leadership team and our ability to attract and retain key personnel; talent and labor shortages and high rates of employee turnover; the occurrence of fraudulent activity, breaches or failures of our information security controls or cybersecurity-related incidents; interruptions involving our information technology and telecommunications systems or third-party servicers; competition in the financial services industry, including from nonbank competitors such as credit unions and “fintech” companies; the effectiveness of our risk management framework; the commencement and outcome of litigation and other legal proceedings and regulatory actions against us; the impact of recent and future legislative and regulatory changes, including changes to federal and state corporate tax rates; interest rate risk, including the effects of anticipated rate increases by the Federal Reserve; fluctuations in the values of the securities held in our securities portfolio; the imposition of tariffs or other governmental policies impacting the value of products produced by our commercial borrowers; severe weather, natural disasters, wide spread disease or pandemics (including the COVID-19 pandemic), acts of war or terrorism or other adverse external events; potential impairment to the goodwill we recorded in connection with our past acquisition; changes to U.S. or state tax laws, regulations and guidance, including recent proposals to increase the federal corporate tax rate; and any other risks described in the “Risk Factors” sections of reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this press release is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
