Income Statement Review

Riverview’s net interest income was $8.9 million in the current quarter, compared to $8.8 million in the preceding quarter, and $9.9 million in the second fiscal quarter a year ago. The increase compared to the preceding quarter was driven by organic loan growth and higher interest earning asset yields due to higher origination rates on new loan growth as well as loan repricing. Additionally, Riverview sold a portion of its converted Visa A shares (formerly Visa B shares) during the second quarter which generated income of $199,000. The decrease in net interest income compared to the year ago quarter was driven primarily by an increase in interest expense on deposits due to higher interest rates and interest rate expense related to borrowings. In the first six months of fiscal 2025, net interest income was $17.8 million, compared to $20.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2024. Investment income decreased compared to the six month period a year ago due to the strategic investment restructuring that was executed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.

Riverview’s NIM was 2.46% for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, a one basis point decrease compared to 2.47% in the preceding quarter and a 17 basis-point decrease compared to 2.63% in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. “Our NIM is showing signs of stabilizing, contracting only one basis point compared to the linked quarter, as loan growth and higher interest earning asset yields are keeping up with higher deposit costs,” said Lam. “The slight NIM contraction during the current quarter, compared to the year ago quarter, was a result of higher interest expense due to increased rates on our deposit products and the interest expense related to our borrowings. With the decrease in the federal funds rate occurring late in the second fiscal quarter, we expect the impact of the rate decrease to benefit the NIM in future quarters.” In the first six months of fiscal 2025, the net interest margin was 2.46% compared to 2.71% in the same period a year earlier.

Investment securities decreased $8.2 million during the quarter to $354.9 million at September 30, 2024, compared to $363.2 million at June 30, 2024, and decreased $75.1 million compared to $430.0 million at September 30, 2023. The average securities balances for the quarters ended September 30, 2024, June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, were $378.4 million, $391.3 million, and $466.0 million, respectively. The weighted average yields on securities balances for those same periods were 2.05%, 2.11%, and 2.00%, respectively. The duration of the investment portfolio at September 30, 2024 was approximately 5.0 years. The anticipated investment cashflows over the next twelve months is approximately $49.2 million. There were no investment purchases during the second fiscal quarter of 2025.

Riverview’s yield on loans improved to 4.80% during the second fiscal quarter, compared to 4.70% in the preceding quarter, and 4.51% in the second fiscal quarter a year ago. “Loan yields improved during the current quarter as a result of higher rates on new loan originations and higher rates on existing loans that have come up for repricing, when compared to the existing loan portfolio. We continue to explore opportunities to enhance our loan yield by expanding our commercial business portfolio offerings,” said Robert Benke, EVP and Chief Credit Officer. Deposit costs increased to 1.26% during the second fiscal quarter compared to 1.14% in the preceding quarter, and 0.59% in the second fiscal quarter a year ago.

Non-interest income increased to $3.8 million during the second fiscal quarter of 2025 compared to $3.4 million in both the preceding quarter and in the second fiscal quarter of 2024. The current quarter included approximately $525,000 in income related to a legal expense recovery from the prior year. In the first six months of fiscal 2025, non-interest income increased to $7.2 million compared to $6.7 million in the same period a year ago.

Asset management fees were $1.4 million during the second fiscal quarter, compared to $1.6 million in the preceding quarter, and $1.3 million in the second fiscal quarter a year ago. The decrease compared to the first fiscal quarter was due to tax preparation fees included in the first fiscal quarter. Asset management fees increased compared to the year ago quarter due to new client relationships and the continued positive market performance in the equity markets during the second quarter. Riverview Trust Company’s assets under management were $871.6 million at September 30, 2024, compared to $897.9 million at June 30, 2024, and $875.7 million at September 30, 2023.

Non-interest expense was $10.7 million during the second fiscal quarter, compared to $11.0 million in the preceding quarter and $10.1 million in the second fiscal quarter a year ago. Salary and employee benefits were up modestly during the current quarter compared to the preceding quarter, due to strategic hiring. Occupancy and depreciation costs increased modestly during the quarter due to updates and modernization of Riverview’s facilities, but these expenses have started to level off. The efficiency ratio was 83.7% for the second fiscal quarter, compared to 90.0% for the previous quarter and 76.1% in the second fiscal quarter a year ago. Year-to-date, non-interest expense was $21.7 million compared to $20.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2024.

Riverview’s effective tax rate for the second fiscal quarter of 2025 was 21.4%, compared to 20.8% for the preceding quarter and 22.0% for the year ago quarter.

Balance Sheet Review

Loans increased during the second quarter due to a combination of organic loan production along with construction draws, as well as the purchase of $10.0 million in consumer loans. Total loans increased $15.9 million during the quarter to $1.06 billion at September 30, 2024, compared to $1.05 billion three months earlier and increased $45.4 million compared to $1.02 billion a year earlier. Riverview’s loan pipeline was $43.5 million at September 30, 2024, compared to $32.3 million at the end of the preceding quarter. New loan originations during the quarter were $25.6 million, compared to $23.2 million in the preceding quarter and $39.5 million in the second fiscal quarter a year ago.

Undisbursed construction loans totaled $34.1 million at September 30, 2024, compared to $48.0 million at June 30, 2024, with the majority of the undisbursed construction loans expected to be funded over the next several quarters.

Non-interest checking and interest checking accounts, as a percentage of total deposits, totaled 49.2% at September 30, 2024, compared to 50.9% at June 30, 2024, and 49.5% at September 30, 2023.

FHLB advances decreased $11.2 million during the quarter to $102.3 million at September 30, 2024, compared to $113.5 million at June 30, 2024. FHLB advances decreased during the quarter as the increase in deposit balances funded the increase in loans receivable.

Tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) increased to $6.33 at September 30, 2024, compared to $6.09 at June 30, 2024, and $5.90 at September 30, 2023.

Credit Quality

“We continue to monitor our loan portfolio closely resulting in our continued strong asset quality metrics in the second quarter” said Benke. Non-performing loans, excluding SBA and USDA government guaranteed loans (“government guaranteed loans”) (non-GAAP) totaled $149,000 or 0.01% of total loans as of September 30, 2024, compared to $160,000, or 0.02% of total loans at June 30, 2024, and $198,000, or 0.02% of total loans at September 30, 2023. There was one non-performing government guaranteed loan totaling $301,000 at both September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024. At September 30, 2024, including government guaranteed loans, non-performing assets were $450,000, or 0.03% of total assets.

The increase in criticized assets during the quarter was mainly due to one relationship that was moved to the criticized asset category as the loan goes through probate. The Company does not anticipate any loss from this relationship.

The allowance for credit losses was $15.5 million at September 30, 2024, compared to $15.4 million at June 30, 2024, and at September 30, 2023.

Once the repurchase program is effective, the repurchase program will continue until the earlier of the completion of the repurchase or 12 months after the effective date, depending upon market conditions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. Management has presented these non-GAAP financial measures in this earnings release because it believes that they provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in Riverview's core operations reflected in the current quarter's results and facilitate the comparison of our performance with the performance of our peers. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for any analysis based on GAAP. Where applicable, comparable earnings information using GAAP financial measures is also presented. Because not all companies use the same calculations, our presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as calculated by other companies.
