RANDOLPH BANCORP, INC. ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2021 FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

STOUGHTON, Massachusetts, April 27, 2021 – Randolph Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ Global Market: RNDB), the holding company for Envision Bank (the “Bank”), today announced net income of $4.1 million, or $0.81 per basic share and $0.78 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to net income of $5.3 million, or $1.03 per basic and $1.01 per diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and a net loss of $0.8 million, or $0.16 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Excluding one-time charges of $109,000 in severance expenses, earnings were $4.2 million, or $0.79 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Excluding one-time charges of $294,000 related to the closing of a residential lending office and $69,000 in severance expenses, earnings were $5.6 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2020.

 

At March 31, 2021, total assets amounted to $738.2 million, compared to $721.1 million at December 31, 2020, an increase of $17.1 million, or 2.4%. An increase in cash and cash equivalents of $41.2 million was partially offset by a decrease in loans held for sale of $25.9 million relative to the prior quarter. Compared to March 31, 2020, total assets grew $85.3 million, or 13.1% from $652.9 million. The growth from the prior year period was caused by an increase in loans held for sale of $34.4 million, or 58.5%, an increase in commercial real estate loans of $20.3 million, or 16.1%, and an increase in commercial and industrial loans of $14.8 million, or 164.3%, driven by lending associated with the Small Business Administration’s (the “SBA’s”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”).

 

William M. Parent, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The first quarter was another strong quarter for our Company, as mortgage refinancing volume, combined with improving banking results, drove performance metrics to elevated levels. We are very pleased with our performance as we migrate our mortgage banking operations from a higher volume refinance environment to more normalized levels while continuing to expand our consumer and commercial banking business. We remain optimistic regarding local economic activity, our ability to continue to grow our business and generate recurring operating leverage.”

 

First Quarter Operating Results

Net interest income increased by $51,000, or 1.0%, to $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $5.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. This increase was primarily due to an increase in average loans and a decrease in the cost of funds driven by a shortening of deposit liabilities and a decline in the cost of non-maturity deposits from the prior quarter. The average balance of term certificates decreased $15.3 million, or 13.6%, from the prior quarter and the average balance of savings and NOW accounts increased $19.2 million, or 8.0%, from the prior quarter. This contributed to a decrease of 9 basis points in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin decreased in the first quarter by 6 basis points to 2.96% from 3.02% in the prior quarter. The change reflects a decrease of 11 basis points in loan yields, due to a decline in the forgiveness of SBA PPP loans, which resulted in a decline in loan yields of 2 basis points, and payoffs of higher yielding loans.

The net interest margin increased in the first quarter of 2021 to 2.96%, from 2.91% in the first quarter of 2020. The change reflects the shortening and downward pricing of deposit liabilities, exceeding the decreases in the rates earned on interest-earning assets because of the lower interest-rate environment. Net interest income increased by $666,000, or 15.1%, to $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $4.4 million the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily due to a decrease in deposit costs, complemented by change in the mix of deposits. The average balance of savings and NOW accounts in the first quarter of 2021 increased $55.5 million, or 41.1% and $30.5 million, or 78.0%, respectively, from the prior year quarter and the average balance of term certificates decreased $91.7 million, or 48.6%, from the prior year quarter, contributing to an 80 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. This decrease was primarily driven by an 89 basis point decline in the cost of interest-bearing deposits, as market interest rates declined sharply from the prior year.

 

The Company recognized a credit for loan losses of $213,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, driven by changes in the qualitative factors related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic outlook used in the Company’s calculation. The allowance for loan losses was 1.32%, 1.38% and 1.04% of total loans at March 31, 2021, December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively, and was 79.0%, 94.6% and 146.6% of non-performing assets at March 31, 2021, December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.

 

Non-interest income decreased $3.2 million, or 20.3%, to $12.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 from $15.6 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2020, due to a decrease of $3.6 million in the net gain on loan origination and sale activities, partially offset by an increase of $504,000 related to net mortgage servicing fees. Sold mortgages totaled $503.3 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $426.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The first quarter of 2021 ended with a mortgage pipeline of $239.5 million, compared to a pipeline of $396.6 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2020, contributing to the decrease in the net gain on loan origination and sales activities. Mortgage servicing fees increased $504,000, or 183.3% for the first quarter of 2021 to $779,000 from $275,000 in the fourth quarter of 2020 due to a fair value adjustment of $421,000 in the first quarter of 2021, based on an increase in mortgage interest rates from the prior quarter.

 

Non-interest income increased $6.0 million, or 92.6%, to $12.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 from $6.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, principally due to an increase of $3.8 million in the net gain on loan origination and sale activities and an increase of $2.0 million in net mortgage servicing fees. Sold mortgage loans totaled $503.3 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to sold mortgage loans of $217.9 million during the first quarter of 2020. The first quarter of 2021 ended with a mortgage pipeline of $239.5 million, compared to a pipeline of $395.6 million at the end of the first quarter of 2020. Mortgage servicing fees increased $2.0 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2021, principally due to an impairment of mortgage servicing rights of $1.6 in the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

 

Non-interest expenses decreased $976,000, or 7.6%, to $12.0 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2021 from $12.9 million in the quarter ended December 30, 2020. The decrease was due to a decrease in occupancy and equipment costs of $406,000, or 35.3%, and a provision for unfunded commitments of $584,000 taken in the fourth quarter of 2020. Occupancy and equipment expenses decreased $406,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2021 from the prior quarter due to the closing of residential lending offices in the fourth quarter of 2020, which resulted in a one-time charge of $294,000. Other non-interest expenses comprising professional fees, marketing, FDIC insurance and other non-interest expenses decreased by $285,000, or 9.3% in the quarter ended March 31, 2021 versus the prior quarter, as the fourth quarter of 2020 included a $584,000 provision for unfunded loan commitments.

 

Non-interest expenses increased $992,000 to $12.0 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2021 from $11.0 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The increase is principally due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $311,000,

primarily attributed to higher commissions and incentives associated with increased residential loan production, partially offset by a $1.4 million charge related to the retirement of senior executives in the first quarter of 2020. In addition, other non-interest expenses increased $463,000 from the prior year quarter due to elevated loan production costs. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $46,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2021 over the prior year period due to seasonal increases in snowplowing expenses. Other non-interest expenses comprising professional fees, marketing, FDIC insurance and other non-interest expenses increased by $635,000, or 29.7% in the quarter ended March 31, 2021 versus the prior year period, due to elevated mortgage loan production costs.

 

Balance Sheet

At March 31, 2021, total assets amounted to $738.2 million, compared to $721.1 million at December 31, 2020, an increase of $17.1 million, or 2.4%. A $41.2 million increase in cash and cash equivalents from the prior quarter was partially offset by a $25.9 million decrease in loans held for sale. Net loan growth of $8.4 million, or 1.7%, was driven by SBA PPP loan originations of $10.2 million. SBA PPP loans totaled $14.7 million at the end of the first quarter of 2021. Non-brokered deposits increased by $31.5 million, or 6.3%, to $528.0 million from $496.6 million in the prior quarter.

 

Total assets at March 31, 2021 increased $85.3 million, or 13.1% from $652.9 million at March 31, 2020. Contributing to asset growth was a $34.4 million increase in loans held for sale to $93.2 million at March 31, 2021 from $58.8 million at March 31, 2020. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $33.7 million, or 159.0%, to $55.0 million at March 31, 2021 from $21.2 million at March 31, 2020, mainly as a result of strong core growth in deposits and higher loan sales at quarter end. Net loans increased by $15.8 million, or 3.3%, to $492.0 million at March 31, 2021 from $476.2 million at March 31, 2020, mainly as a result commercial real estate growth of $20.3 million, or 16.1%, as we focus on diversifying our loan mix and reducing our exposure to long-term fixed rate 1-4 family residential loans. Another factor for net loan growth was an increase in commercial and industrial loans of $14.8 million, or 164.3%, driven by SBA PPP lending.

 

The increase in total assets at March 31, 2021 from the prior quarter was funded by deposit growth. Non-brokered deposits totaled $528.0 million at March 31, 2021, increasing by $31.5 million, or 6.3%, during the quarter from $496.6 million at December 31, 2020. Driving the growth in non-brokered deposits were customers’ receipt of government stimulus and our focus on deposit gathering. Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLBB”) and Federal Reserve Bank advances decreased by $13.3 million to $60.0 million at March 31, 2021, from $73.3 million at December 31, 2020, primarily as a result of the full repayment of Federal Reserve Bank advances.

 

The increase in total assets from the prior year quarter was also funded by continued deposit growth. Non-brokered deposits totaled $528.0 million at March 31, 2021, increasing by $109.0 million, or 26.0%, during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 from $419.1 million at March 31, 2020. Driving the growth in non-brokered deposits was customers’ receipt of government stimulus and our focus on deposit gathering. Brokered deposits decreased by $53.7 million to $32.2 million at March 31, 2021, from $86.0 million at March 31, 2020. FHLBB advances increased by $8.0 million to $60.0 million at March 31, 2021, from $52.0 million at March 31, 2020.

 

Total stockholders’ equity was $100.9 million at March 31, 2021 compared to $99.8 million at December 31, 2020. The increase of $1.0 million reflects net income during the first quarter of $4.1 million, partially offset by share repurchases of $2.7 million and a decrease in the fair value of available-for-sale equity securities, net of taxes, of $794,000.

 

Total stockholders’ equity was $100.9 million at March 31, 2021 compared to $79.0 million at March 31, 2020. The increase of $21.9 million relates mainly to net income from the previous twelve months of $24.9 million, partially offset by share repurchases of $3.2 million and a decrease in the fair value of available-for-sale securities, net of taxes, of $927,000. In addition, equity adjustments related to equity-based compensation amounted to an increase of $1.1 million.

COVID-19 Impact

In response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our customers and our business, the Company implemented a series of measures through the date of this release, including participation in the PPP, for which we funded $25.6 million of SBA PPP Loans through March 31, 2021, and granting payment deferrals for residential mortgage, home equity and certain commercial borrowers who were current in their payments at the time the deferral was requested. Depending on the circumstances of the borrowers, the forbearance calls for a reduced or full deferral of payment. Please refer to the Loan Payment Deferrals and COVID-19 Most Impacted Sections for statistics on loan payment deferrals and the commercial loan sectors we believe could be exposed to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
