CBNK Reports Fourth Quarter 2022 Results and Record Annual Earnings
Diluted EPS of $0.62, ROAA of 1.67%, and ROAE of 16.18% for 4Q 2022
Rockville, Maryland, January 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Capital Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ: CBNK), the holding company for Capital Bank, N.A. (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $9.0 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to net income of $10.2 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2021. Net portfolio loans increased $80.6 million, or 19.4 percent annualized, during the fourth quarter.
"Strong loan growth in the commercial bank was a highlight in the fourth quarter but was tempered by a challenging deposit environment," said Ed Barry, CEO of the Company and the Bank. "Strategic hires, market disruption and a focus on customized solutions continue to deliver growth in the commercial bank. OpenSky® had a record year of profitability and looks set to remain very profitable but inflation is having an impact on unsecured credit while competition and normal attrition has reduced the number of open accounts. Competition for deposits has increased our costs as we focus on retaining high-quality customers. We continue to invest in the business to build a foundation that will be scalable and allow us to grow and drive value over the long term."
Steven Schwartz, Chairman of the Board of the Company said, "I am pleased with the record full-year earnings being reported today. Despite the significant headwinds experienced by our mortgage division in 2022, our other diversified sources of revenue -- the Commercial Bank and OpenSky® -- continued to deliver. We are well positioned for continued strong profitability in 2023. We expect our Commercial Bank loan portfolio to continue to grow, our marketing efforts at OpenSky® to be rewarded with renewed growth in cardholder count and outstandings, and our Mortgage division to be restored to profitability. Notwithstanding potential macroeconomic challenges in 2023, I am confident that our best-in-class credit culture will permit us to adroitly manage any issues that may arise."

Fourth Quarter 2022 Highlights
Capital Bancorp, Inc.
Earnings Summary - Net income decreased to $9.0 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, compared to $10.2 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2021. Increasing interest rates led to a sharp increase in deposit costs and a continued slowdown in mortgage revenues in the fourth quarter of 2022. These factors, when combined with an increase in loan loss provisions due to economic uncertainty and a decline in credit card revenue, contributed to the decrease in fourth quarter net income. Net interest income increased by $2.5 million to $35.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 when compared to the same period in 2021 but was largely offset by increasing deposit costs.
Strong Performance Ratios - Return on average assets ("ROAA") and return on average equity ("ROAE") were 1.67% and 16.18%, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to 1.95% and 20.66%, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2021.
1



Elevated Net Interest Margin - Net interest margin was 6.64%, or 3.91% excluding PPP and credit card loans, for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to 6.49%, or 3.70% excluding PPP and credit card loans, for the same three month period last year. Increases in portfolio loan yields and average loan balances were partially offset by increasing deposit costs.
Robust Capital Positions - As of December 31, 2022, the Company reported a common equity tier 1 capital ratio of 15.00% and an allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio of 1.52%. Tangible book value per common share grew 11.8 percent to $15.84 at December 31, 2022 when compared to the same quarter in 2021.
Commercial Bank
Strong Portfolio Loan Growth - Portfolio loans, excluding credit cards, increased by $218.7 million, or 15.7 percent, to $1.6 billion at December 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021. This growth was mainly due to a 19.5 percent increase in commercial real estate loans of $108.2 million, of which $87.6 million was owner occupied. Also contributing to the growth was a 20.7 percent increase in residential real estate loans of $83.1 million, and a 25.2 percent increase in commercial and industrial loans of $44.3 million when comparing the quarter ended December 31, 2022 to the quarter ended December 31, 2021. Business loans, comprised of commercial and industrial, SBA, and owner occupied real estate, represent 42% of our total commercial portfolio.
Stable Credit Metrics - Non-performing assets ("NPAs") decreased 10 basis points to 0.46% of total assets at December 31, 2022 compared to 0.56% at December 31, 2021 with the disposition of our remaining other real estate owned and a reduction in nonaccrual loans of $1.7 million.
OpenSky®
Revenues - OpenSky® revenue declined by 8.2 percent to $20.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 from the same period in 2021 due to the decrease in active customer accounts which led to decreases in interchange, renewal and other fees. Normal customer attrition and aggressive marketing and product strategies by fintech and credit card companies offering unsecured subprime credit cards has resulted in the continued decline in the total number of OpenSky® accounts.
Loan Balances - OpenSky® loan balances, net of reserves, decreased by $12.7 million to $128.4 million compared to $141.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Corresponding deposit balances decreased 18.3 percent or $42.1 million from $229.5 million at December 31, 2021 to $187.4 million at December 31, 2022. Gross unsecured loan balances stood at $26.8 million and $17.7 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
OpenSky® Credit - Card delinquencies and utilization remained stable in the fourth quarter. Unsecured credit overall has performed in line with expectations while charge offs remained elevated due to higher severity levels among unsecured customers. The Company has tightened credit in the segments that have deteriorated while focusing on lower risk customers. Unsecured balances at quarter end were $26.8 million, flat for the quarter. The provision for loan losses increased $1.3 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2021.
2022 Highlights
Capital Bancorp
Diversified Businesses Drive Net Income - Net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 increased 4.6 percent to $41.8 million, or $2.91 per diluted share, from $40.0 million, or $2.84 per diluted share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021.

Above Average Performance Ratios - Strong earnings supported ROAA and ROAE of 2.01% and 19.68%, respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 compared to 1.96% and 22.27%, respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021.
Expanded Net Interest Margin - For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, net interest margin was 6.92%, or 3.93% excluding PPP and credit card loans, compared to 5.86%, or 3.60% excluding PPP and credit card loans for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021. The margin improvement was primarily driven by increases in the yield on portfolio loans. Additionally, average balances and yields on our investment securities available for sale portfolio increased $98.1 million and 24 basis points, respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 when compared to the same period last year.
Stable Efficiency Ratio - The efficiency ratio decreased to 64.19% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 compared to 65.79% for the same twelve month period in the prior year due to higher levels of net interest income.
Balance Sheet Growth - Total assets increased $68.4 million, or 3.3%, during the twelve months ended December 31, 2022. The growth in earning assets consisted of increases in net portfolio loans and investment securities available for sale of $204.6 million and $68.0 million, respectively. Asset growth was primarily funded by cash received for the payoff of SBA-PPP loans totaling $106.1 million and a $103.0 million redeployment of lower yielding cash and cash equivalents. Total deposits decreased by $39.1 million while Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $85.0 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2022.
Commercial Bank
Strong Portfolio Loan Growth - In 2022, portfolio loans, excluding credit card loans, increased by $218.7 million, or 15.7 percent to $1.6 billion compared to 2021 when portfolio loans, excluding credit card loans, increased by $176.0 million to $1.4 billion. Growth in 2022 was primarily due to a $108.2 million increase in commercial real estate loans, of which $87.6 million was owner occupied, an $83.1 million increase in residential real estate loans, and a $44.3 million increase in commercial and industrial loans. These increases were partially offset by a $17.0 million decline in construction real estate loans.
Deposits - While total deposits at December 31, 2022 decreased during the twelve months, our average noninterest bearing deposit balances increased $31.2 million when compared to December 31, 2021. Noninterest bearing deposits represented 38.4% of total deposits at December 31, 2022. The cost of interest bearing liabilities increased to 0.95% from 0.61% for the same period in the prior year, due to the increase in interest rates. Redeployment of funds by multiple commercial clients out of deposit accounts and into operating businesses impacted overall deposit balances in 2022.
OpenSky®
Interest Rate Increases Offset Gross Balance Declines - Credit card balances, net of reserves, decreased by $12.7 million, or 9.0 percent, for the twelve months of 2022 compared to an increase of $38.9 million for the twelve months of 2021 when government stimulus funds contributed to balance growth in the credit card portfolio. For the twelve months of 2022, the increase in average credit card balances as well as an increase in interest rates accounted for the $14.4 million growth in interest income when compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease in overall credit card accounts led to the reduction in credit card fees, which declined by 21.2 percent to $22.0 million compared to $27.9 million for the same twelve month period last year.

Operating Results - Comparison of Three Months Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021
For the three months ended December 31, 2022, net interest income increased $2.5 million, or 7.7 percent, to $35.2 million from the same period in 2021, primarily due to an increase in interest earned on portfolio loans. The net interest margin increased 15 basis points to 6.64% for the three months ended December 31, 2022 from 6.49% for the same period in 2021 due in large part to the growth in portfolio loan balances and an increase in loan yields, including on credit card loans to customers whose accounts have been open for more than a year as origination costs on these accounts are amortized in the first year and thereafter no longer offset annual renewal fees. Net interest margin, excluding credit card and SBA-PPP loans, was 3.91% for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to 3.70% for the same period in 2021. For the three months ended December 31, 2022, average interest earning assets increased $104.5 million, or 5.2 percent, to $2.1 billion as compared to the same period in 2021, and the average yield on interest earning assets increased 110 basis points. Compared to the same period in the prior year, average interest bearing liabilities increased $107.9 million, or 10.3 percent, while the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 169 basis points to 2.11% from 0.42%.
The provision for loan losses of $2.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was related to the credit card portfolio and the cycling of credit card accounts. Net charge-offs for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $2.1 million, or 0.49% on an annualized basis of average portfolio loans, compared to $672 thousand, or 0.18% on an annualized basis of average loans for the fourth quarter of 2021. A majority of the $2.1 million in net charge-offs during the quarter were related to the credit card portfolio with $1.8 million related to secured cards and $229 thousand related to unsecured cards.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, noninterest income was $5.6 million, a decrease of $5.1 million, or 47.6 percent, from $10.6 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily the result of a reduction in mortgage banking revenue of $2.8 million due to the decline in home loan sales and home loan refinances brought on by the rising interest rate environment as well as a decline in credit card fees of $2.4 million associated with the decline in active customer accounts and interchange income.
Credit card loan balances, net of reserves, decreased by $12.7 million to $128.4 million as of December 31, 2022 from $141.1 million at December 31, 2021. The related deposit account balances decreased 18.3 percent to $187.4 million at December 31, 2022 when compared to $229.5 million at December 31, 2021 reflecting the reduction in active customer accounts. For the three months ended December 31, 2022, OpenSky® credit card accounts decreased by 43 thousand net compared to a 40 thousand net decrease in accounts for the same period in 2021. Elevated new account originations related to COVID-19 stimulus payments that were realized during the pandemic did not recur in 2022.
The efficiency ratio for the three months ended December 31, 2022 decreased to 65.59% compared to 65.83% for the three months ended December 31, 2021 due to higher levels of net interest income.
Noninterest expense was $26.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to $28.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 6.2 percent. The decrease was primarily driven by decreases in data processing expenses of $2.9 million due to successful contract negotiations in the first quarter of 2022 for OpenSky® and advertising expenses of $924 thousand, or 56.0 percent due to a strategic refocus and were offset by increases in salaries and employee benefits of $1.2 million, or 11.4 percent and professional fees of $972 thousand, or 66.8 percent.

Operating Results - Comparison of Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, net interest income increased $23.9 million, or 20.5 percent, to $140.6 million from the same period in 2021, primarily due to the $208.7 million increase in average balances in portfolio loans combined with the 72 basis point increase in yield for portfolio loans. The net interest margin increased 106 basis points to 6.92% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 from the same period in 2021. Net interest margin, excluding credit card and SBA-PPP loans, was 3.93% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 compared to 3.60% for the same period in 2021. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, average interest earning assets increased $42.7 million, or 2.1 percent, to $2.0 billion as compared to the same period in 2021, and the average yield on interest earning assets increased 122 basis points. Compared to the same period in the prior year, average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $21.8 million, or 2.0 percent, while the average cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 34 basis points to 0.95% from 0.61%.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the provision for loan losses was $6.6 million, an increase of $3.3 million from the prior year and was related primarily to the credit card portfolio. Net charge-offs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 were $5.4 million, or 0.34% of average portfolio loans, compared to $1.6 million, or 0.12% of average portfolio loans, for the same period in 2021. The $5.4 million in net charge-offs during the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 was comprised of credit card portfolio net charge-offs with $5.1 million related to secured cards while $345 thousand was related to unsecured cards.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, noninterest income was $29.4 million, a decrease of $21.3 million, or 42.0 percent, from the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by the reduction in mortgage banking revenues of $16.0 million due to the decline in home loan sales and home loan refinances brought on by the rising interest rate environment as well as a decline in credit card fees of $5.9 million. The rising interest rate environment is expected to continue depressing the contribution made by Capital Bank Home Loans into 2023.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the Bank had a net decrease of 127 thousand OpenSky® active credit card accounts, decreasing the total number of open accounts to 534 thousand. This compares to 92 thousand of net new originations for the same period last year, which increased total open accounts to 660 thousand at December 31, 2021. Elevated new account originations related to COVID-19 stimulus payments that were realized in 2021 which did not recur in 2022 and aggressive marketing by competitors both contributed to the decline.
The efficiency ratio for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 decreased to 64.19% compared to 65.79% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 due to higher levels of net interest income.
Noninterest expense was $109.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to $110.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 0.9 percent. The decrease was primarily driven by a $9.8 million, or 25.0 percent, decrease in data processing and a $1.8 million, or 51.7 percent, decrease in loan processing. The decrease was partially offset by a $5.1 million, or 13.4 percent, increase in salaries and benefits, an increase in professional fees of 57.4 percent, or $4.0 million, and a $1.4 million, or 29.5 percent, increase in advertising expense. The decrease of $9.8 million in data processing expenses was primarily due to a contract renegotiation entered into in the first quarter of 2022 in the OpenSky® Division.

Financial Condition
Total assets at December 31, 2022 were $2.1 billion, an increase of $68.4 million or 3.3% from the balance at December 31, 2021. Net portfolio loans, which exclude mortgage loans held for sale and SBA-PPP loans, totaled $1.7 billion as of December 31, 2022, an increase of $204.6 million or 13.4 percent as compared to $1.5 billion at December 31, 2021.
The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $6.6 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, which increased the allowance for loan losses to $26.4 million, or 1.52% of total loans at December 31, 2022. Nonperforming assets were $9.8 million, or 0.46% of total assets, as of December 31, 2022, down from $11.5 million, or 0.56% of total assets, at December 31, 2021, and was comprised solely of nonperforming loans. Included in nonperforming loans at December 31, 2022 were troubled debt restructurings of $288 thousand.
Special mention loans at December 31, 2022 increased by $13.5 million compared to December 31, 2021. The increase is attributable, in part, to the reclassification of the Bank’s $18.4 million participation interest in two commercial loans that are secured by the same collateral. The borrowers, an individual and a related entity, breached a negative covenant and thereafter agreed, in consideration of a forbearance agreement and an extension of the maturity date of each loan, to increase the applicable interest rate and to provide enhanced reporting to the lead bank. Interest payments are current on both loans. The lead bank is in discussions with the borrowers regarding a plan for full repayment of the loans.
While total deposits were $1.8 billion for the period ended December 31, 2022, a slight decline from the balance at December 31, 2021, average noninterest bearing deposit balances increased $31.2 million when compared to December 31, 2021. Noninterest bearing deposits represented 38.4% of total deposits at December 31, 2022.
Stockholders’ equity increased to $224.0 million as of December 31, 2022, compared to $197.9 million at December 31, 2021. This increase was primarily attributable to earnings during the period of $41.8 million which were offset by unrealized losses recorded net of tax on available for sale securities in the rising interest rate environment creating a $15.7 million reduction in accumulated other comprehensive income during the period. As of December 31, 2022, the Bank's capital ratios continued to exceed the regulatory requirements for a “well-capitalized” institution.
