River Valley Community Bancorp Announces 3rd Quarter Results (Unaudited)
YUBA CITY, Calif., Oct. 20, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- River Valley Community Bancorp (OTC markets: RVCB) with its wholly owned subsidiary, River Valley Community Bank (collectively referred to as the “Bank”), today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.
Consolidated financial highlights:

Much of the growth during 2020 has been attributable to loans originated under the federal government’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), non PPP related growth in the Bank’s deposit base, and to a lesser degree, unrealized gains in the Bank’s investment securities portfolio. As of September 30, 2020, no PPP loans had been forgiven.

Total gross loans were $263.6 million as of September 30, 2020, which represents an increase of $68.4 million or 35.1% from $195.2 million as of September 30, 2019. At quarter end, the Bank’s loan totals included $56.4 million of PPP loans originated during the second and third quarters of 2020. When excluding PPP loans, the Bank experienced loan growth of 6.2% since September 30, 2019. Total deposits of $400.8 million as of September 30, 2020 represent an increase of $86.7 million or 27.6% from $314.1 million as of September 30, 2019. The growth in deposits is partially due to PPP loan funds being deposited with the Bank until utilized by the borrowers.
As of September 30, 2020, the Bank had a minimal amount of non-performing assets totaling $284,000. A small number of borrowers with loans totaling approximately $29 million (approximately $28 million being real estate secured) elected to utilize the Bank’s payment deferral program during the second quarter, which permitted them to defer contractually required principal and interest payments for a period of up to six months. As of September 30, 2020, borrowers of approximately $14 million of these loans have either (1) continued to make payments during the deferral period or (2) have resumed making payments following the end of their deferral period. In both cases, the borrowers are current with respect to contractually required principal and interest payments. All remaining deferral periods will end in the coming months, and management is closely monitoring each loan relationship to mitigate the risk of loss to the Bank.

Net interest income of $3.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 is an increase of $449,000 or 14.4% from the quarter ended September 30, 2019 and an increase of $68,000 or 2.0% (7.8% annualized) from the quarter ended June 30, 2020.
CFO Michael Finn commented, “The Bank experienced a strong quarter with a return on average tangible equity of 13.87% (excludes unrealized gains on investment securities). Management determined that a provision for loan losses was not necessary during the third quarter due to (1) large provisions recognized previously in 2020, (2) a modest improvement in key economic indicators quarter over quarter, and (3) a significant reduction in the amount of loans with deferred payments.”
CEO John M. Jelavich stated, “We continue to experience a strong appetite for relationship banking services in the markets we serve. We have built a solid foundation to meet those needs, and I am very proud of our team’s continued execution in serving existing customers and winning over new ones. As a result, the Bank experienced continued deposit market share growth over the past year in all four markets we serve based on the most recent FDIC Summary of Deposits reporting. We are pleased with these results and believe there is considerable runway left for the Bank to grow within our established footprint.”
Jelavich continued, “Despite our Bank’s continued execution and the momentum we have established, there remain macro-economic uncertainties and headwinds for our industry. While credit performance to date has been solid given the pandemic related disruption, we remain cautious. Longer term, I believe the larger potential challenge is the low rate, flat yield curve environment we are currently experiencing and the duration to which it persists. Low rates, while good for borrowers, put downward pressure on Bank margins and earnings. Despite these challenges, I believe our bank remains well positioned with an amazing team and a strong balance sheet, which gives us considerable flexibility in addressing these challenges.”
