Adjusted net income(1) totaled $4.9 million, or $0.65 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2023.

Fourth Quarter 2023 Highlights

  • Book value per share was $21.27, an increase of $2.44, or 13%, from September 30, 2023 and an increase of $3.28, or 18%, from December 31, 2022.
  • Loans increased $70.7 million, or 17% annualized, from September 30, 2023, and $186.4 million, or 12%, from December 31, 2022.
  • Average deposits increased $26.5 million, or 6% annualized, from the third quarter of 2023.
  • Taxable equivalent net interest margin (1) was 3.47% in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to 3.34% in the third quarter of 2023.
  • Annualized net charge-offs to average loans totaled 0.0% for the fourth and third quarters of 2023 and 0.01% for the full year 2023.
  • Nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.06% as of December 31, 2023, compared to 0.70% on September 30, 2023, following the fourth quarter sale of the $14.1 million foreclosed real estate property.

Profitability Improvement Initiatives

  • Sold $35.8 million in available-for-sale securities for a loss of $5.4 million. The securities had a book yield of 1.74% and an estimated average life of 5.5 years. The expected recovery of this loss is approximately 4.1 years.
  • Initiated the surrender of $21.2 million in bank-owned life insurance ("BOLI") policies, resulting in tax expense of $478,000. Proceeds from the surrender of BOLI are expected to be received in the first half of 2024. The pre-tax yield on this BOLI was 3.25%.
  • Completed the sale of the $14.1 million foreclosed real estate property in the fourth quarter of 2023 for a loss of $165,000.
  • Completed a reduction in staff of seven employees resulting in annual cost savings of approximately $1.2 million and fourth quarter 2023 severance expense of $324,000.
  • The proceeds from the foreclosed property sale, securities sale, and BOLI surrender will reduce Avidbank's reliance on wholesale funding by approximately $71 million.

"We are pleased with the diversified loan growth, improved net interest margin, and continued strong asset quality in the fourth quarter. Although deposit levels ended the year lower than expected, our deposit pipeline remains robust. We are optimistic that our growth in deposits will be strong as we move into 2024," said Mark Mordell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

"We took several important steps in the fourth quarter of 2023 to improve our profitability in 2024. This included the resolution of our foreclosed real estate property, selling approximately 10 percent of our investment portfolio, initiating the surrender of a portion of our BOLI portfolio, and the difficult decision of reducing the size of our work force. These steps impacted fourth quarter net income by approximately $5 million but will improve profitability in 2024. Most importantly, these actions will reduce our reliance on wholesale funding, which is imperative as we execute our strategic plan for 2024 to strengthen our balance sheet and improve our performance metrics," added Mr. Mordell.

Income Statement

Taxable equivalent net interest income(1) totaled $18.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, an increase of $942,000, or 5%, from the third quarter of 2023, and a decrease of $3.6 million, or 16%, from the fourth quarter of 2022. The taxable equivalent net interest margin was 3.47% in the fourth quarter of 2023, an increase of 13 basis points compared to the third quarter of 2023, and a decrease of 94 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase in taxable equivalent net interest income and net interest margin compared to the prior quarter was primarily driven by an overall increase in loan yields and balances. The decrease in taxable equivalent net interest margin compared to the same period one year ago was primarily driven by an increase in high-cost short-term borrowings replacing lower-cost deposits, interest bearing deposits replacing no-cost demand deposits, and an overall increase in deposit costs, partially offset by an increase in loan yields and average loan balances.

The yield on loans in the fourth quarter of 2023 was 7.25%, an increase of 21 basis points from the third quarter of 2023 and an increase of 92 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2022. The overall increase in loan yields compared to prior periods was primarily due to increases in interest rates, primarily the Prime rate.

The cost of deposits in the fourth quarter of 2023 was 2.71%, an increase of 19 basis points from the third quarter of 2023 and an increase of 181 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2022. The cost of interest-bearing deposits in the fourth quarter of 2023 was 3.80% compared to 3.66% in the third quarter of 2023 and 1.59% in the fourth quarter of 2022.

The provision for credit losses was $1.27 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $120,000 in the third quarter of 2023 and $993,000 in the fourth quarter of 2022. The provision increased in the current quarter primarily due to loan growth of $70.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $19.6 million in the third quarter of 2023. The provision for credit losses in the fourth quarter of 2023 included a $1.33 million provision for loan losses offset by a $(65,000) provision for unfunded commitments.

Noninterest income was $(4.45) million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $1.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Noninterest expense totaled $11.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, an increase of $654,000 compared to the third quarter of 2023.
