Key Data Points In Light Of Recent Industry Events
A Message From Blue Ridge Bankshares, Inc. President and CEO,
“Our team put in a fully committed effort in the first quarter of this year. We continued to work diligently in addressing issues cited in the OCC Formal Agreement, and the events of March allowed us to reinforce our commitment to customers and strengthen relationships. We conservatively added additional funding to the balance sheet, which did create a negative impact on earnings in the last part of the quarter.
External regulatory remediation expenses of
The continued sharp increase in short-term interest rates has significantly impacted funding costs. A highly competitive environment became even more competitive following the events in March. We will continue to aggressively pursue core deposit growth. We reconfigured our market incentive plans coming into 2023 with the expectation of additional rate increases, and anticipate the behaviors spurred by that change will create positive short and long-term outcomes.
We are fully engaged and aware of the challenges that exist in financial services today. Rapid interest rate increases of historic proportions following an extended period of a low-rate environment will create disruptions. We will continue to zealously focus on our clients and the client experience, stay focused on our regulatory remediation, constantly calibrate our perspective, and look for additional areas to improve operating efficiencies through technology and the appropriate rightsizing and redeployment of resources across business lines.”
Q1 2023 Highlights
(Comparisons for Q1 2023 are relative to Q4 2022 unless otherwise noted.)
Income Statement
Net Interest Income
Net interest income was
Total interest income was
Average balances of interest-earning assets increased
Yields on average loans held for investment, excluding PPP loans, were 6.24% for the first quarter of 2023, compared to 6.74% for the fourth quarter of 2022, and 5.09% for the first quarter of 2022. The decline in loan yields relative to the prior quarter primarily reflects a lesser contribution from PAA and lower commercial loan fees. The increase in loan yields relative to the prior year period primarily reflects the beneficial impact of higher interest rates on loans re-pricing and new loan growth at higher yields.
Average balances of interest-bearing liabilities increased
Cost of funds was 2.11% for the first quarter of 2023, compared to 1.22% for the fourth quarter of 2022, and 0.36% for the first quarter of 2022, while cost of deposits was 1.74%, 0.85%, and 0.27%, for the same respective periods. Higher deposit and overall funding costs reflects higher market interest rates, higher interest costs related to FHLB borrowings (despite lower balances during the first quarter of 2023 relative to the prior quarter), and a shift in the mix of deposit funding, including an increase in higher cost time deposits and a decline in noninterest-bearing deposits.
Net interest margin was 3.58% for the first quarter of 2023, compared to 4.83% for the fourth quarter of 2022, and 3.88% for the first quarter of 2022. PAA added 13 basis points to net interest margin for the first quarter of 2023, compared to 41 basis points for the fourth quarter of 2022, and 53 basis points for the first quarter of 2022. The decline in net interest margin relative to the prior quarter was driven primarily by higher funding costs, less benefit from PAA, and lower commercial loan fees.
