Bank7 Corp. Announces 4Q and Full Year 2020 Earnings

PR Newswire

OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Bank7 Corp. (NASDAQ: BSVN) (“the Company”), the parent company of Oklahoma City-based Bank7 (the “Bank”), today reported unaudited results for the fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2020. “We are pleased to report continued strength in our asset quality and liquidity components, and also to report a record level of PPE for our Company. Strong PPE enabled us to make meaningful increases to our ALLL, repurchase shares at a discount to book value, and increase our cash dividend, all while maintaining higher levels of capital compared to the industry mean. We benefit from the strong economy in our region, and feel positive about our future; nonetheless, there is still much uncertainty and business activity is somewhat muted, therefore we will continue to use caution moving forward,” said Thomas L. Travis, President and CEO of the Company.

Three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to three months ended December 31, 2019:

Pre-tax, pre-provision earnings of $8.4 million, an increase of 31.60%
Interest income on loans, including loan fee income, totaled $13.2 million, an increase of 7.18%
Cost of funds of 0.51%, a decrease of 59.53%
Efficiency ratio of 35.13%, compared to 41.74%

For the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019:

Pre-tax, pre-provision earnings of $31.2 million, an increase of 16.25%, excluding the one-time, non-cash executive stock transaction expense in Q3 2019.
Interest income on loans, including loan fee income, totaled $52.4 million, an increase of 8.82%
Cost of funds of 0.73%, a decrease of 46.71%
Total assets of $1.0 billion, an increase of 17.35%
Total loans of $824.1 million, an increase of 18.23%
Total deposits of $905.5 million, an increase of 19.54%

Both the Bank’s and the Company’s capital levels continue to be significantly above the minimum levels required to be designated as “well-capitalized” for regulatory purposes. On December 31, 2020, the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio, Tier 1 risk based capital ratio, and total risk-based capital ratios were 10.78%, 13.51%, and 14.75% respectively. On December 31, 2020, on a consolidated basis, the Company’s Tier 1 leverage ratio, Tier 1 risk based capital ratio, and total risk-based capital ratios were 10.77%, 13.50%, and 14.73% respectively. Designation as a well-capitalized institution under regulations does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement by bank regulators.

Pre-tax, pre-provision earnings is defined as income before taxes and provision for loan losses. We believe the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is income before taxes. Disclosure of this measure enables you to compare our operations to those of other banking companies before consideration of taxes and provision expense. We calculate our tax-adjusted net income, return on average assets, and return on average equity, and per share amounts by using a combined effective tax rate for federal and state income taxes of 25.6% and 45.4% in 2020 and 2019, respectively. We acknowledge that our non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations. As such, you should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other banking companies use. Other banking companies may use names similar to those we use for non-GAAP financial measures we disclose, but may calculate them differently. You should understand how we and other companies each calculate their non-GAAP financial measures when making comparisons. The following reconciliation table provides a more detailed analysis of these non-GAAP financial measures:

This communication contains a number of forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect Bank7 Corp.’s current views with respect to, among other things, future events and Bank7 Corp.’s financial performance. Any statements about Bank7 Corp.’s expectations, beliefs, plans, predictions, forecasts, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believes,” “can,” “could,” “may,” “predicts,” “potential,” “should,” “will,” “estimate,” “plans,” “projects,” “continuing,” “ongoing,”

“expects,” “intends” and similar words or phrases. Any or all of the forward-looking statements in (or conveyed orally regarding) this presentation may turn out to be inaccurate. The inclusion of or reference to forward-looking information in this presentation should not be regarded as a representation by Bank7 Corp. or any other person that the future plans, estimates or expectations contemplated by Bank7 Corp. will be achieved.

These forward-looking statements are subject to significant uncertainties because they are based upon: the amount and timing of future changes in interest rates, market behavior, and other economic conditions; future laws, regulations, and accounting principles; changes in regulatory standards and examination policies, and a variety of other matters. These other matters include, among other things, the impact of COVID-19 on the United States economy and our operations, the direct and indirect effect of economic conditions on interest rates, credit quality, loan demand, liquidity, and monetary and supervisory policies of banking regulators. Bank7 Corp. has based these forward-looking statements largely on its current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that Bank7 Corp. believes may affect its financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. Bank7 Corp.’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if Bank7 Corp.’s underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what Bank7 Corp. anticipates. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and Bank7 Corp. undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as may be required by law. All forward-looking statements herein are qualified by these cautionary statements.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This communication includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including tax-adjusted net income, tax-adjusted earnings per share, tax-adjusted return on average assets and tax-adjusted return on average shareholders’ equity. These non-GAAP financial measures and any other non-GAAP financial measures that we discuss in this presentation should not be considered in isolation, and should be considered as additions to, and not substitutes for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures versus their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of Bank7 Corp.’s non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. See the table above in this communication for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used in (or conveyed orally during) this communication to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
