California Republic Bancorp Announces Second-Quarter 2013 Record Assets of $737 Million with Record Net Interest Margin of 6.41% and Net Income of $2.8 Million
IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- California Republic Bancorp (OTCBB: CRPB), holding company for California Republic Bank, announced its results for the second-quarter 2013, reporting quarterly net income of $2.8 million, record net interest margin of 6.41%, record assets of $737.1 million and record deposits of $669.7 million.
CEO Jon Wilcox stated, "In the second-quarter we not only experienced strong deposit and loan growth, but also continued to invest in our people and infrastructure both in California as well as nationally, while increasing our bottom line and maintaining solid credit quality."
President John DeCero explained, "In the second-quarter we achieved several milestones both in commercial banking as well as our indirect auto finance division, CRB Auto. In auto finance, we became fully operational in our Las Vegas customer service center, we built out and opened our Dealer Service Center in Dallas and continued our expansion throughout Texas. We also successfully completed another prime automobile securitization of $238 million. In commercial banking, we achieved record non-interest bearing demand deposit and loan growth, continued to have no non-performing assets since inception, and bank wide achieved pre-tax profits of over $5 million for the quarter."
Second-Quarter 2013 Results:
At June 30, 2013, California Republic Bank reported total assets of $737.1 million, an increase of $255.0 million, or 52.9% above total assets as of June 30, 2012. The year-over-year increase in total assets reflects continued strong core checking account growth with non-interest bearing demand deposits reaching a record $373.7 million compared with $193.5 million at the end of the second-quarter of 2012, an increase of $180.2 million, or 93.1%. The non-interest bearing accounts represent 55.8% of total deposits as of June 30, 2013. Total deposits grew to a record $669.7 million, compared to $431.8 million for the second-quarter of 2012, an increase of $237.9 million or 55.1%.
Of the Bank's $392.4 million total loans outstanding at quarter-end, commercial banking loans represented a record $329.7 million, and the owned indirect auto loan portfolio represented $62.7 million, compared with total loans outstanding of $424.6 million at the end of the second-quarter of 2012, a decrease of $32.2 million, or 7.6%. The decrease was due to the securitization of $238 million of the Bank's owned indirect auto loan portfolio completed on June 20, 2013, which reduced the Bank's loans outstanding by that same amount. Indirect auto originations for the second-quarter grew to a record $126.2 million compared to $66.9 million in the second-quarter of 2012, an increase of $59.3 million or 88.6%. Additionally, the Bank stated that its sold, servicing-retained indirect auto loan portfolio has grown to $378.0 million at quarter-end. The Bank has previously stated that it earns a 1% fee for the servicing of its securitized auto loan portfolio.
California Republic Bancorp continued to report strong credit quality throughout the second-quarter, with no non-performing or charged-off loans within the commercial banking portfolio, and net annualized charge-offs of 0.12% within the owned indirect auto portfolio.
Total interest income grew in the second-quarter of 2013 to $8.3 million; a $2.2 million or 36.2% increase over total interest income for the same period of 2012. Second-quarter net interest margin also grew to a record 6.41%, compared with a net interest margin of 5.54% for the same period of 2012. Pre-tax income for the quarter was $5.2 million for the Bank and $4.9 million for the Bancorp. Net income for the quarter was $3.0 million for the Bank and $2.8 million for the Bancorp, compared with net income of $1.1 million for the Bank and $1.0 million for the Bancorp for the second-quarter of 2012. Year-to-date net income for the Bank was $3.2 million and $2.9 million for the Bancorp. The majority of the difference in net income from the Bank to the Bancorp is due to 123-R non-cash expense relating to the amortization of stock options reported at the holding company level.
At June 30, 2013, California Republic Bank reported a Tier-1 leverage capital ratio of 8.5%, a Tier-1 risk based capital ratio of 13.9% and a total risk based capital ratio of 15.1%, well in excess of the 5%, 6% and 10%, respectively, needed to be considered "well-capitalized" by the Bank's regulatory agencies.
