Strong Capital Supports Repositioning for
Profitability
Bank of Marin Bancorp, "Bancorp" (Nasdaq: BMRC), parent company
of Bank of Marin, "Bank," announced a net loss of $21.9 million for
the second quarter of 2024, compared to net income of $2.9 million
for the first quarter of 2024. Diluted loss per share was $(1.36)
for the second quarter, compared to earnings per share of $0.18 for
the prior quarter. Net loss for the first six months of 2024
totaled $19.0 million, compared to net income of $14.0 million for
the same period last year. Diluted (loss) earnings per share were
$(1.18) and $0.87 for the first six months of 2024 and 2023,
respectively. Both the second quarter and six months of 2024
results reflected a $32.5 million pretax loss from the previously
announced balance sheet restructuring and a $5.2 million pre-tax
provision for credit losses on loans.
Concurrent with this release, Bancorp issued presentation slides
providing supplemental information, some of which will be discussed
during the second quarter 2024 earnings call. The earnings release
and presentation slides are intended to be reviewed together and
can be found online on Bank of Marin’s website at
www.bankofmarin.com under “Investor Relations.”
“During the second quarter, we executed on our strategic
priorities, which included realizing the benefits from the more
robust loan origination engine we have built, increasing our net
interest margin, and carefully managing our expenses,” said Tim
Myers, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We also took
advantage of the strength in our balance sheet and capital position
to take substantial, proactive steps designed to bolster our
profitability and position the Bank for accelerated earnings
momentum. We executed a strategic balance sheet repositioning and
sold $325 million of low-yielding investment securities. This
resulted in the second quarter loss, but we have already used some
of the proceeds from these sales to pay off wholesale borrowings
and invest in higher yielding loans and securities. We are
confident that we will successfully reinvest the remaining proceeds
into higher yielding assets, including loans that meet our
disciplined pricing and underwriting criteria, which we believe
will be accretive to both our net interest margin and earnings
going forward.
“We are starting the second half of 2024 with positive trends in
loan growth, core deposit gathering, and expense management, while
seeing continued strong asset quality within the bulk of our loan
portfolio. We are also seeing the initial benefits from our balance
sheet repositioning on our net interest margin and we expect to
realize more expansion in our margin as we continue reinvesting the
proceeds from the securities sales. We believe all of these trends
should result in a higher level of profitability in the second half
of the year and position us well to continue generating profitable
growth in the years ahead,” said Mr. Myers.
Bancorp also provided the following highlights for the second
quarter of 2024:
- As previously announced, the Bank sold 56% of its
available-for-sale securities ("AFS") portfolio at an after-tax
loss of $22.9 million. Redeployment of the $292.6 million net
proceeds is expected to provide a 30 basis point increase in
annualized net interest margin and $0.46 per share estimated
annualized earnings accretion beginning in the third quarter,
assuming an average reinvestment yield of 5.75%. The sale is part
of our strategy to improve future earnings and increase return on
equity. Excluding the loss on security sales, net income and
diluted earnings per share for the second quarter would have been
$1.0 million and $0.06, all other factors unchanged. See Non-GAAP
Reconciliation below.
- A $5.2 million provision for credit losses on loans in the
second quarter, compared to a provision of $350 thousand for the
previous quarter, brought the allowance for credit losses to 1.47%
of total loans, compared to 1.24% as of March 31, 2024. The
provision was largely due to an increased individual reserve for
one non-owner occupied commercial real estate loan totaling $16.7
million that, although current, has experienced a deteriorating
financial condition and a material increase in its loan-to-value
ratio associated with a recent valuation of the underlying
collateral. See Loans and Credit Quality section below for more
details.
- Non-accrual loans were also significantly impacted by the loan
discussed above and increased to 1.62% of total loans at quarter
end from 0.31% at March 31, 2024. Net charge-offs were minimal.
Approximately 60% of non-accrual loans were paying as agreed as of
June 30, 2024. Subsequent to quarter end, one commercial loan on
non-accrual totaling $1.8 million paid off in full.
- Classified loans were relatively stable and down to 2.63% of
total loans compared to 2.67% last quarter. Some consumer loan
downgrades during the quarter were more than offset by two upgrades
on one commercial real estate and one consumer loan, as well as
paydowns on other classified loans.
- Strong originations of $64.1 million in the quarter led to
$27.4 million in loan growth resulting in a balance of $2.082
billion as of June 30, 2024, compared to $2.055 billion as of March
31, 2024. Payoffs totaled $31.2 million. Loan amortization from
scheduled repayments and an increase in utilization of credit lines
netted $5.5 million during the quarter.
- Total deposits of $3.214 billion as of June 30, 2024 were down
$70.3 million compared to $3.284 billion as of March 31, 2024,
mostly due to timing of month-end payments. Non-interest bearing
deposits remain a large component at 44.1% of total deposits as of
June 30, 2024, compared to 44.0% as of March 31, 2024. Shortly
after quarter-end balances began to climb again.
- All intra-quarter borrowings were paid down with securities
sales proceeds leaving a balance of zero at June 30, 2024. Net
available funding sources of $1.797 billion provided 202% coverage
of an estimated $889.8 million in uninsured deposits, representing
28% of total deposits at June 30, 2024.
- The tax-equivalent net interest margin increased to 2.52% from
2.50% in the first quarter as loans funded or renewed in the second
quarter continue to carry higher yields while deposit cost
increases have decelerated. In fact, 69% of the quarter's loan
fundings occurred in the month of June, leaving room for expanded
net interest income in the coming quarters. The average cost of
deposits increased only 7 basis points to 1.45% in the second
quarter compared to a 23 basis point increase in the prior
quarter.
- During the quarter the Bank did a review of its expense
structure and eliminated some positions not viewed as critical to
achieving its strategic objectives within the current operating
environment. The Bank recorded severance costs in the second
quarter of $243 thousand with an additional amount expected in the
third quarter related to the executive officer departure reported
on July 25, 2024. The pre-tax cost save for the remainder of 2024
is $876 thousand and the annualized cost save is approximately $2.7
million.
- Return on average assets ("ROA") was (2.35)% for the second
quarter of 2024, compared to 0.31% for the first quarter of 2024,
and return on average equity ("ROE") was (20.36)%, compared to
2.70% for the prior quarter. The efficiency ratio for the second
quarter of 2024 was (300.37)%, compared to 83.18% for the prior
quarter. Excluding the loss on security sales, ROA, ROE and the
efficiency ratio for the second quarter would have been 0.11%,
0.95% and 86.70%, all other factors unchanged. See Non-GAAP
Reconciliation below.
- Capital was above well-capitalized regulatory requirements with
total risk-based capital ratios of 16.46% and 15.54% as of June 30,
2024 for Bancorp and the Bank, respectively. Bancorp's tangible
common equity to tangible assets ("TCE ratio") increased to 9.92%
as of June 30, 2024, and the Bank's TCE ratio was 9.27%. As an
additional indicator of capital adequacy, we look to the TCE ratio
net of after-tax unrealized losses on held-to-maturity securities
as if the losses were realized. That ratio was 7.53% as of June 30,
2024, compared to 7.45% as of March 31, 2024 (refer to the
discussion and reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure in
the section below entitled Statement Regarding Use of Non-GAAP
Financial Measures).
- Bancorp's share repurchase program continues to be available
for up to $25.0 million, expiring on July 31, 2025. There have been
no repurchases to date in 2024 or in 2023, however the Bank will
continue to assess opportunities to utilize the program.
- The Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.25 per
share on July 25, 2024, which represents the 77th consecutive
quarterly dividend paid by Bancorp. The dividend is payable on
August 15, 2024, to shareholders of record at the close of business
on August 8, 2024.
“Bank of Marin continues to maintain robust capital and
liquidity levels, while diligently managing expenses and credit,”
said Tani Girton, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer. “Overall credit quality remains solid, and we are not
seeing anything beyond idiosyncratic issues in our loan
portfolio.
“On the expense front, we made strategic staffing adjustments
throughout the company which enable us to offset investments in
revenue-driving talent as well as technology, creating efficiencies
we believe will help manage costs while continuing to drive growth
through the year and well into the future.”
Loans and Credit Quality
Loans increased by $27.4 million for the second quarter of 2024
and totaled $2.082 billion as of June 30, 2024, compared to $2.055
billion as of March 31, 2024. Loan originations for the second
quarter were $64.1 million, largely in non-owner occupied
commercial real estate loans, compared to $12.4 million for the
first quarter of 2024 and $22.8 million for the second quarter of
2023. Total loan commitments originated in the quarter were $94.5
million, compared to $25.3 million for the first quarter of 2024
and $34.1 million for the second quarter of 2023. Loans increased
$8.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to
$10.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Loan
originations were $76.5 million for the six months ended June 30,
2024, compared to $67.7 million for the six months ended June 30,
2023.
Loan payoffs were $31.2 million for the second quarter, compared
to $21.8 million for the first quarter of 2024 and $24.6 million
for the second quarter of 2023. The largest portion was the result
of asset sales by customers, and there was no dominant trend noted
in the quarter. Payoffs were $53.0 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2024, compared to $46.8 million for the same period in
2023.
During the second quarter, we moved a $16.7 million non-owner
occupied commercial real estate loan to non-accrual status, which
was the primary contributor to the provision. The underlying
collateral property is a multi-story office building located in San
Francisco that was materially impacted by the pandemic and
subsequent remote work and vacancy issues. We downgraded the credit
to substandard in the fourth quarter of 2021, and have continued to
evaluate the occupancy, operating income, and underlying valuation.
The loan is guaranteed, and payments have always been current with
enough pledged cash held at the Bank to cover payments to maturity
in 2026. Nonetheless, a recent appraisal indicated that the
refinance loan amount for which the property would qualify at
maturity would likely be less than the payoff amount based on
current rents, occupancy, and sponsorship wherewithal. Based on
this consideration we chose to provision for that shortfall.
Non-accrual loans totaled $33.7 million, or 1.62% of the loan
portfolio, at June 30, 2024, compared to $6.3 million, or 0.31% at
March 31, 2024. The $27.4 million increase resulted from the
movement of 7 relationships totaling $27.8 million to non-accrual
status in the second quarter, $16.7 million of which was the
non-owner occupied commercial real estate loan discussed above.
Another $8.8 million relationship consisting of two commercial
loans, one commercial real estate loan and one home equity loan is
anticipated to pay off all related loans in full through the sale
of assets in the near future. Of the total non-accrual loans as of
June 30, 2024, approximately 60% were paying as agreed, 71% were
real estate secured, and all are being closely monitored for
payments or payoff.
Bank of Marin has continued its steadfast conservative
underwriting practices and, in light of current market conditions,
our portfolio management and credit teams are exercising heightened
vigilance for potential credit quality weakening. Classified loans
remained stable totaling $54.7 million as of June 30, 2024,
compared to $54.8 million as of March 31, 2024. Home equity loans
totaling $737 thousand and auto loans totaling $302 thousand were
downgraded to substandard, offset by a $150 thousand home equity
loan and a $341 thousand non-owner occupied commercial real estate
loan upgraded to pass, charge-offs of two commercial loans
associated with one relationship totaling $29 thousand, and
paydowns on other loans.
Accruing loans past due 30 to 89 days totaled $2.2 million as of
June 30, 2024, compared to $1.9 million as of March 31, 2024. We
had one accruing non-owner-occupied commercial real estate loan
over 90 days past due as of June 30, 2024 that has been in extended
renewal negotiations, but it is secured and expected to be restored
to a current payment status in the near future.
Loans designated special mention, which are not considered
adversely classified, decreased by $1.9 million to $99.0 million as
of June 30, 2024, from $100.9 million as of March 31, 2024. The
decrease was largely due to $15.0 million in upgrades to pass risk
ratings and payoffs of $1.3 million, partially offset by $15.2
million in downgrades from pass and the balance from contractual
paydowns. Of the loans designated special mention, 99% were real
estate secured. All but two of the loans, outside of
not-for-profits, are guaranteed by owners or sponsors. One of the
two loans had a zero balance at June 30, 2024.
Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2024 totaled $26
thousand, compared to net charge-offs of $21 thousand for the first
quarter of 2024.
The provision for credit losses on loans in the second quarter
was $5.2 million, compared to $350 thousand in the prior quarter.
The provision was due primarily to an increase to the individual
reserve for one non-owner occupied commercial real estate loan
totaling $16.7 million placed on non accrual during the quarter as
discussed above. The ratio of allowance for credit losses to total
loans increased to 1.47% at June 30, 2024, compared to 1.24% at
March 31, 2024, largely due to this provision.
There was no provision for credit losses on unfunded loan
commitments in the second quarter of 2024 or in the prior
quarter.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $231.4
million at June 30, 2024, an increase of $195.1 million compared to
$36.3 million at March 31, 2024 largely due to proceeds of $292.6
million from the sale of available-for-sale securities, discussed
below, partially offset by the payoff of $58.5 million in
mid-quarter borrowings, loan fundings, and securities purchases.
Reinvestment of securities sale proceeds have continued during the
third quarter of 2024 and include the funding of loans that were in
the pipeline during the second quarter of 2024, as well as
additional securities purchases.
Investments
The investment securities portfolio totaled $1.158 billion at
June 30, 2024, a decrease of $293.9 million from March 31, 2024.
The decrease was primarily the result of the sale of $325.2 million
available-for-sale securities, resulting in a pre-tax loss on sale
of $32.5 million. The sold securities had an average book yield of
1.94% with the proceeds allocated to interim borrowing payoffs,
loan fundings, securities purchases, and cash available for future
use. Assuming a 5.75% average yield on reinvestment, the securities
repositioning is expected to have an approximate 3-year capital
earn back and contribute approximately 30 basis points to
annualized net interest margin beginning third quarter, resulting
in $0.46 estimated earnings per share accretion over the next four
quarters. These estimates consider the securities repositioning in
isolation and do not include other activities that could impact net
interest margin or earnings per share. In addition, there were
principal repayments and maturities totaling $20.1 million,
purchases of $19.0 million, and $757 thousand in net amortization.
Both the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity portfolios are
eligible for pledging to FHLB or the Federal Reserve as collateral
for borrowing. The portfolios are comprised of high credit quality
investments with average effective durations of 5.02 on
available-for-sale securities and 5.52 on held-to-maturity
securities. Both portfolios generate cash flows monthly from
interest, principal amortization and payoffs, which supports the
Bank's liquidity. Those cash flows totaled $28.6 million and $31.3
million in the second and first quarters of 2024, respectively.
Deposits
Deposits totaled $3.214 billion at June 30, 2024, compared to
$3.284 billion at March 31, 2024. Non-interest bearing deposits
made up 44.1% of total deposits at June 30, 2024, compared to 44.0%
at March 31, 2024. The Bank's competitive and balanced approach to
relationship management and focused outreach to customers seeking
alternative options for banking solutions generated over 1,300 new
accounts during the second quarter, 56% of which were new
relationships (excluding new reciprocal accounts).
Borrowings and Liquidity
At June 30, 2024, the Bank had zero outstanding borrowings,
consistent with March 31, 2024, although there were intermittent
borrowings averaging $10.7 million in the second quarter. While
available as a liquidity source, we have not utilized brokered
deposits. Net available funding sources, including unrestricted
cash, unencumbered available-for-sale securities and total
available borrowing capacity totaled $1.797 billion, or 56% of
total deposits and 202% of estimated uninsured and/or
uncollateralized deposits as of June 30, 2024.

Capital Resources
The total risk-based capital ratio for Bancorp was 16.46% at
June 30, 2024, compared to 17.05% at March 31, 2024. The total
risk-based capital ratio for the Bank was 15.54% at June 30, 2024,
compared to 16.71% at March 31, 2024. Reductions in risk-based
capital ratios were related to losses realized on securities
sales.
Bancorp's tangible common equity to tangible assets ("TCE
ratio") was 9.92% at June 30, 2024, compared to 9.76% at March 31,
2024. The TCE ratio increased slightly quarter over quarter due
mainly to the decrease in tangible risk weighted assets. The
capital plan and point-in-time capital stress tests indicate that
Bank of Marin and Bancorp capital ratios will remain above
regulatory well-capitalized and internal policy minimums throughout
a five-year forecast horizon and across stress scenarios such as
additional unrealized losses on the investment portfolio,
additional deposit growth or decline, loan credit quality
deterioration, and potential share repurchases.
Earnings
Net Interest Income
Net interest income totaled $22.5 million for the second quarter
of 2024, compared to $22.7 million for the prior quarter. The $227
thousand decrease from the prior quarter was primarily related to
an increase of $356 thousand in interest expense on deposits,
partially offset by a $186 thousand increase in interest income
from loans and the reallocation of proceeds from investment
security sales into interest-bearing cash accounts.
Quarter-over-quarter, the cost of interest-bearing deposits
increased by 10 basis points to 2.56%, decelerating significantly
from the 33 basis point increase in the first quarter. The average
cost of deposits increased only 7 basis points to 1.45% in the
second quarter compared to a 23 basis point increase in the prior
quarter.
Net interest income totaled $45.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2024, compared to $54.0 million for the same period
in the prior year. The $8.9 million decrease from the prior year
was primarily due to higher costing deposits and lower average
balances on investments, partially offset by a lower average
balance on borrowings and higher yields on loans.
The tax-equivalent net interest margin was 2.52% for the second
quarter of 2024, compared to 2.50% for the prior quarter. Higher
loan yields contributed 6 basis points while a higher cost of
deposits reduced margin by 5 basis points. The combination of lower
average investment security balances and higher average cash and
borrowing balances contributed 1 basis point.
The tax-equivalent net interest margin was 2.51% for the six
months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 2.74% for the same period
in the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributed to higher
deposit costs which reduced the margin by 90 basis points,
partially offset by lower borrowing balances which positively
affected the margin by 38 basis points and higher loan yields
contributed 30 basis points.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income was $(29.8) million for the second quarter
of 2024, compared to income of $2.8 million for the prior quarter.
The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily attributed to a
$32.5 million net loss on sale of available-for-sale investment
securities in the second quarter, as discussed above. Excluding the
loss on sale, non-interest income was $2.8 million for the second
quarter, consistent with prior quarter. See the non-GAAP disclosure
below.
Non-interest income was $(27.0) million for the six months ended
June 30, 2024, compared to income of $5.7 million for the same
period of the prior year. The $32.7 million decrease from the prior
year period was primarily attributed to a $32.5 million pre-tax net
loss on sale of available-for-sale investment securities in the
second quarter, as discussed above. Additionally, 2023 included
higher bank owned life insurance income due to death benefits.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense totaled $21.9 million for the second
quarter of 2024, compared to $21.2 million for the prior quarter,
an increase of $725 thousand. The increase included $591 thousand
in charitable contributions related to our annual grant program,
and $280 thousand in salaries and related benefits, which included
both annual merit increases and $243 thousand severance payments
related to the recent staff reduction discussed above. Last
quarter, there were lower deferred loan origination costs, higher
401(k) contribution matching associated with the usual reset and
bonus payments at the beginning of the year, and higher talent
acquisition costs, but also higher net incentive adjustments. Other
expenses decreased by small amounts in various categories including
operating expenses due to some efficiencies identified and
implemented.
Non-interest expense totaled $43.1 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2024, compared to $40.4 million for the same period
of prior year, an increase of $2.6 million. The most significant
increase was $2.1 million in salaries and related benefits, which
included an increase of 15 full-time equivalents ("FTE") on
average, annual merit increases and $243 thousand severance
payments related to the recent staff reduction discussed above.
Stock-based compensation expenses increased due to the accelerated
vesting of an officer's awards due to retirement eligibility. An
additional $1.1 million in expenses and fees were associated with
an increase in our customers' participation in reciprocal deposit
networks to bolster their FDIC insured balances. Increases were
partially offset by the combined decrease of $891 thousand in
depreciation/amortization and occupancy/equipment expenses related
to the 2023 acceleration of expenses related to the closure of two
branches and other minor decreases in expenses.
Statement Regarding use of Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
Financial results are presented in accordance with GAAP and with
reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures. Management
believes that, given industry turmoil that largely began in the
first quarter of 2023, the presentation of Bancorp's non-GAAP TCE
ratio reflecting the after tax impact of unrealized losses on
held-to-maturity securities provides useful supplemental
information to investors because it reflects the level of capital
remaining after a hypothetical liquidation of the entire securities
portfolio. In addition, management believes that providing selected
financial measures excluding the loss on sale of securities
discussed above is useful to investors as the strategic short-term
loss taken for long-term profitability makes the operational
performance difficult to compare to other periods. Because there
are limits to the usefulness of this measure to investors, Bancorp
encourages readers to consider its annual and quarterly
consolidated financial statements and notes related thereto for
their entirety, as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and not to rely on any single financial measure. A
reconciliation of the GAAP financial measures to comparable
non-GAAP financial measures is presented below.

Forward-Looking Statements
This release may contain certain forward-looking statements that
are based on management's current expectations regarding economic,
legislative, and regulatory issues that may impact Bancorp's
earnings in future periods. Forward-looking statements can be
identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to
historical or current facts. They often include the words
“believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate” or words of similar
meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,”
“should,” “could” or “may.” Factors that could cause future results
to vary materially from current management expectations include,
but are not limited to, general economic conditions and the
economic uncertainty in the United States and abroad, including
economic or other disruptions to financial markets caused by acts
of terrorism, war or other conflicts, impacts from inflation,
supply chain disruptions, changes in interest rates (including the
actions taken by the Federal Reserve to control inflation),
California's unemployment rate, deposit flows, real estate values,
and expected future cash flows on loans and securities; the impact
of adverse developments at other banks, including bank failures,
that impact general sentiment regarding the stability and liquidity
of banks; costs or effects of acquisitions; competition; changes in
accounting principles, policies or guidelines; changes in
legislation or regulation; natural disasters (such as wildfires and
earthquakes in our area); adverse weather conditions; interruptions
of utility service in our markets for sustained periods; and other
economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technological
factors (including external fraud and cybersecurity threats)
affecting our operations, pricing, products and services; and
successful integration of acquisitions. These and other important
factors are detailed in various securities law filings made
periodically by Bancorp, copies of which are available from Bancorp
without charge. Bancorp undertakes no obligation to release
publicly the result of any revisions to these forward-looking
statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances
after the date of this press release or to reflect the occurrence
of unanticipated events.

1 Interest income/expense is divided by
actual number of days in the period times 360 days to correspond to
stated interest rate terms, where applicable.
2 Yields on available-for-sale securities
are calculated based on amortized cost balances rather than fair
value, as changes in fair value are reflected as a component of
stockholders' equity. Investment security interest is earned on
30/360 day basis monthly.
3 Yields and interest income on tax-exempt
securities and loans are presented on a taxable-equivalent basis
using the Federal statutory rate of 21 percent.
4 Average balances on loans outstanding
include non-performing loans. The amortized portion of net loan
origination fees is included in interest income on loans,
representing an adjustment to the yield.
5 Net loan origination costs in interest
income totaled $436 thousand, $375 thousand, and $362 thousand for
the three months ended June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024, and June 30,
2023, totaled $811 thousand and $552 thousand for the six months
ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
