VANCOUVER, Wash., April 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Riverview Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq GSM: RVSB) (“Riverview” or the “Company”) today reported earnings of $1.1 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the fourth fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.2 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2024. During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2024, Riverview strategically restructured a portion of its balance sheet resulting in an after-tax impact of $2.1 million and recorded $2.3 million in non-interest expense related to a litigation charge. Including the effects of the investment portfolio restructuring and litigation charge, Riverview reported a net loss of $3.0 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the fourth fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024.
For fiscal 2025, net income was $4.9 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to $3.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for fiscal 2024.
“We closed out our fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year end on solid footing despite the economic uncertainty and market volatility impacting all banks,” stated Nicole Sherman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Riverview’s operating performance during the quarter once again reflected steady improvements, with net interest margin expansion as a result of stabilizing funding costs and higher loan yields compared to a year ago. Loan growth was strong during the quarter, and I am proud of our team’s relationship-focused approach to clients and prospects which resulted in loan production outperforming the previous four quarters. A top priority remains improving our operating performance while also being the bank of choice to our SW Washington and NW Oregon clients that we have served for over 100 years. With our strong capital levels, disciplined credit culture and stable balance sheet, we have a great foundation to build upon in fiscal 2026.
Riverview recently completed our three-year strategic plan focusing on profitable growth, digital leadership, and data empowerment, with our employees, clients, and communities being seen, heard, and valued in everything we do. We continue to expand revenue opportunities through our C&I, business banking, and treasury management initiatives. Strategic investments in people and technology will be important, while managing operating expenses. At Riverview we are unwavering in our dedication to exceed the needs of our employees, clients, shareholders and all stakeholders,” Sherman concluded.

Income Statement Review
Riverview’s net interest income was $9.2 million in the current quarter, compared to $9.4 million in the preceding quarter, and $8.6 million in the fourth fiscal quarter a year ago. The decrease compared to the preceding quarter was primarily due to the recognition of a loan prepayment fee and related loan fees totaling $318,000 during the preceding quarter. The increase compared to the year ago quarter was driven by higher interest earning asset yields due to higher origination rates on new loan growth as well as loan repricing. In fiscal 2025, net interest income was $36.3 million, compared to $38.1 million in fiscal 2024. The decrease is attributed to the increase in interest expense over the respective periods. Investment income decreased compared to the year ago period due to the strategic investment restructuring that was executed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.
Riverview’s NIM was 2.65% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, a five basis point increase compared to 2.60% in the preceding quarter and a 33 basis-point increase compared to 2.32% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. “Our NIM improved during the quarter, compared to the preceding quarter, as the decrease in funding costs more than offset the modest decrease in asset yields. The preceding quarter’s loan yield included the favorable impact from the recognition of the previously mentioned loan prepayment fee and related loan fees,” said David Lam, EVP and Chief Financial Officer. “With the Federal Reserve rate reductions implemented near the end of 2024, we anticipate deposit costs to further stabilize in future quarters. Additionally, the rate cuts reduced the interest expense on borrowings, which also benefitted NIM during the fourth quarter.” In fiscal 2025, the net interest margin was 2.54% compared to 2.56% in fiscal 2024.
Investment securities decreased $14.7 million during the quarter to $322.5 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $337.2 million at December 31, 2024, and decreased $50.2 million compared to $372.7 million at March 31, 2024. The average securities balances for the quarters ended March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2024, were $346.0 million, $364.2 million, and $444.1 million, respectively. The weighted average yields on securities balances for those same periods were 1.84%, 1.82%, and 2.02%, respectively. The duration of the investment portfolio at March 31, 2025, was approximately 5.1 years. The anticipated investment cashflows over the next twelve months is approximately $37.4 million. There were no investment purchases during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2025.
Riverview’s yield on loans was 4.91% during the fourth fiscal quarter, compared to 4.97% in the preceding quarter, and 4.63% in the fourth fiscal quarter a year ago. “Loan yields declined during the current quarter compared to the prior quarter due to the impact on the loan yield in the prior quarter from the recognition of the loan prepayment and related loan fees. Compared to a year ago, loan yields have increased as a result of the current yield curve which has resulted in higher yields on loans when compared to the existing loan portfolio. We continue to explore opportunities to enhance our loan yield by expanding our commercial business portfolio offerings to include more variable rate loan structures,” said Mike Sventek, EVP and Chief Lending Officer. Deposit costs improved to 1.30% during the fourth fiscal quarter compared to 1.32% in the preceding quarter and increased compared to 1.00% in the fourth fiscal quarter a year ago. The increase from clients seeking higher deposit yields has moderated quarter over quarter compared to the increase from the fourth fiscal quarter a year ago given the relative change in the interest rate environment during those respective periods.
Non-interest income increased to $3.7 million during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2025 compared to $3.3 million in the preceding quarter and $494,000 in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2024. Non-interest income during the quarter included a $261,000 BOLI death benefit. The fourth fiscal quarter of 2024 included a $2.7 million loss on the sale of investment securities from the balance sheet restructure. In fiscal 2025, non-interest income increased to $14.3 million compared to $10.2 million in fiscal 2024.
Asset management fees were $1.5 million during the fourth fiscal quarter, compared to $1.4 million in both the third fiscal quarter and in the fourth fiscal quarter a year ago. Asset management fees from new client relationships more than offset a volatile market performance during the fourth fiscal quarter. Riverview Trust Company’s assets under management were $877.9 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $872.6 million at December 31, 2024, and $961.8 million at March 31, 2024.
Non-interest expense was $11.4 million during the fourth fiscal quarter, compared to $11.2 million in the preceding quarter and $13.1 million in the fourth fiscal quarter a year ago. Salary and employee benefits, the largest component of non-interest expense, increased during the current quarter compared to the preceding quarter due to open positions being filled. Professional fees increased during the current quarter compared to the preceding quarter due to higher consulting fees. The efficiency ratio was 88.7% for the fourth fiscal quarter, compared to 87.6% for the preceding quarter and 144.9% in the fourth fiscal quarter a year ago. In fiscal 2025, non-interest expense was $44.3 million compared to $43.7 million in fiscal 2024.
Riverview’s effective tax rate for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2025 was 21.5%, compared to 21.8% for the preceding quarter and (27.0)% for the year ago quarter.
Balance Sheet Review
Total loans increased $17.4 million during the quarter to $1.06 billion at March 31, 2025, compared to $1.05 billion three months earlier and increased $38.4 million compared to $1.02 billion a year earlier. Riverview’s loan pipeline was $41.1 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $49.1 million at the end of the preceding quarter and $18.4 million at March 31, 2024. New loan originations during the quarter increased to $49.4 million, compared to $31.1 million in the preceding quarter and $12.7 million in the fourth fiscal quarter a year ago.
Undisbursed construction loans totaled $18.2 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $19.5 million at December 31, 2024, with the majority of the undisbursed construction loans expected to be funded over the next several quarters. Undisbursed homeowner association loans for the purpose of common area maintenance and repairs totaled $18.3 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $14.5 million at December 31, 2024. Revolving commercial business loan commitments totaled $48.9 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $46.9 million at December 31, 2024. Utilization on these loans totaled 28.90% at March 31, 2025, compared to 17.60% at December 31, 2024. The weighted average rate on loan originations during the quarter was 7.16% compared to 7.04% in the preceding quarter. Loan repricing and maturities with respective weighted average rate for fiscal year 2026 totaled $76.6 million with a weighted average rate of 4.65%. Looking ahead, loan repricing and maturities for fiscal year 2027 total $77.1 million with a weighted average rate of 4.03%, for fiscal year 2028 total $96.2 million with a weighted average rate of 5.42% and in aggregate for fiscal years after 2028 total $108.3 million with a weighted average rate of 6.09%.
The office building loan portfolio totaled $110.9 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $113.4 million at December 31, 2024. The average loan balance of the office building loan portfolio was $1.5 million with an average loan-to-value ratio of 53.5% and an average debt service coverage ratio of 1.80x at March 31, 2025. Office building loans within the Portland core consist of two loans totaling $20.5 million which is approximately 18.5% of the total office building loan portfolio or 1.92% of total loans.
Non-interest checking and interest checking accounts, as a percentage of total deposits, totaled 48.7% at March 31, 2025, compared to 46.8% at December 31, 2024, and 51.9% at March 31, 2024. The increase during the quarter was in part due to Riverview Bank reciprocation of $20 million of balances back from Riverview Trust. Riverview Bank had moved customer deposits to Riverview Trust as a higher yielding deposit alternative and those assets were all retained within the Company during the period of increasing interest rates. CDs decreased during the quarter as Riverview allowed higher cost CDs to run off. Total deposits increased $13.3 million during the quarter to $1.23 billion at March 31, 2025, compared to $1.22 billion at December 31, 2024, and were unchanged compared to a year ago.
FHLB advances decreased $7.8 million during the quarter to $76.4 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $84.2 million at December 31, 2024. FHLB advances decreased during the quarter as a result of the increase in deposits.
Shareholders’ equity increased to $160.0 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $158.3 million three months earlier and $155.6 million one year earlier. Tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) increased to $6.33 at March 31, 2025, compared to $6.20 at December 31, 2024, and $6.07 at March 31, 2024. Riverview paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.02 per share on April 25, 2025, to shareholders of record on April 14, 2025.
Credit Quality
“Asset quality remains a priority during uncertain economic conditions, and we continue to closely monitor our portfolio mix, loan growth, and local and national conditions to maintain an appropriate allowance,” said Robert Benke, EVP and Chief Credit Officer. Non-performing loans, excluding SBA and USDA government guaranteed loans (“government guaranteed loans”) (non-GAAP) totaled $155,000 or 0.01% of total loans as of March 31, 2025, compared to $168,000, or 0.02% of total loans at December 31, 2024, and $173,000, or 0.02% of total loans at March 31, 2024. There were no non-performing government guaranteed loans at March 31, 2025, and one non-performing government guaranteed loan totaling $301,000 at December 31, 2024. At March 31, 2025, non-performing assets were $155,000, or 0.01% of total assets.
Riverview recorded $22,000 in net loan recoveries for the current quarter. This compared to $114,000 in net loan charge-offs for the preceding quarter. Riverview recorded no provision for credit losses for the current quarter, or for the preceding quarter.
Classified assets were $2.9 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $226,000 at December 31, 2024, and $723,000 at March 31, 2024. The classified assets to total capital ratio was 1.6% at March 31, 2025, compared to 0.1% at December 31, 2024, and 0.4% a year earlier. The increase in classified assets during the quarter was primarily due to one $2.0 million loan for which a plan is in place to either return to performing status or payoff. Additionally, there was a borrowing relationship with two loans totaling $725,000 that credit administration is working with the borrower to bring current or seek full payoff. Criticized assets were $48.5 million at March 31 2024, compared to $50.4 million at December 31, 2024, and $36.7 million at March 31, 2024. Criticized assets decreased during the current quarter compared to the prior quarter as a result of one loan payoff. The increase compared to a year ago was primarily due to one relationship that was moved to the criticized asset category as the loans go through probate. The Company does not anticipate any loss from this relationship.
The allowance for credit losses was $15.4 million at March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2024, respectively. The allowance for credit losses represented 1.45% of total loans at March 31, 2025, compared to 1.47% at December 31, 2024, and 1.50% a year earlier. The allowance for credit losses to loans, net of government guaranteed loans (non-GAAP), was 1.51% at March 31, 2025, compared to 1.54% at December 31, 2024, and 1.58% a year earlier.
Capital/Liquidity
Riverview continues to maintain capital levels well in excess of the regulatory requirements to be categorized as “well capitalized” with a total risk-based capital ratio of 16.27% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 11.10% at March 31, 2025. Tangible common equity to average tangible assets ratio (non-GAAP) was 8.93% at March 31, 2025.
Riverview has approximately $471.3 million in available liquidity at March 31, 2025, including $174.0 million of borrowing capacity from the FHLB and $297.3 million from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRB”). At March 31, 2025, the Bank had $76.4 million in outstanding FHLB borrowings.
The uninsured deposit ratio was 23.4% at March 31, 2025. Available liquidity under the FRB borrowing line would cover nearly 100% of the estimated uninsured deposits and available liquidity under both the FHLB and FRB borrowing lines would cover 163.7% of the estimated uninsured deposits.
On September 25, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a stock repurchase program. Under this repurchase program, the Company may repurchase up to $2.0 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, in the open market, based on prevailing market prices, or in privately negotiated transactions. 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. During the fiscal fourth quarter, the Company repurchased 158,558 shares of common stock at an average price of $5.65. As of February 2, 2025, the Company had completed the full $2.0 million stock repurchase plan, repurchasing 358,631 shares at an average price of $5.53 per share.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
