RBB Bancorp (RBB) Tops Q3 EPS by 11c

RBB Bancorp (NASDAQ: RBB) reported Q3 EPS of $0.43, $0.11 better than the analyst estimate of $0.32.

“Our performance in the third quarter demonstrated the strength of our growing franchise as we generated strong earnings, increasing net interest margin, and asset and deposit growth,” said Mr. Alan Thian, Chairman, President and CEO of RBB Bancorp. “Effective management of our loan exposure in prior quarters – which resulted in lower concentrations of CRE and C&I loans relative to our peers – created an opportunity to selectively originate attractive loans in markets in which our competitors were forced to pull back. Strong deposit growth was accompanied by declines in corresponding costs as we benefited from ongoing efforts to improve our deposit franchise and a declining rate environment. Our asset quality remains solid and we remain well capitalized with ample access to liquidity. Loans modified under the CARES Act outstanding decreased 76% over the quarter to just 4% of loans outstanding.”

“Our board of directors approved the reinstatement of the stock repurchase program to the maximum of what the plan allows, which will further enhance shareholder value,” Mr. Thian concluded.
