Exhibit 99.1

RBB Bancorp Reports Second Quarter 2024 Earnings

Los Angeles, CA, July 22, 2024 – RBB Bancorp (NASDAQ:RBB) and its subsidiaries, Royal Business Bank (the “Bank”) and RBB Asset Management Company (“RAM”), collectively referred to herein as “the Company,” announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 Highlights

	●	Net income totaled $7.2 million, or $0.39 diluted earnings per share.
	●	Return on average assets of 0.76%, compared to 0.81% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
	●	Net interest margin of 2.67%, down two basis points, compared to 2.69% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

	●	Repurchased 448,190 shares of common stock for $8.1 million during the quarter ended Jun 30, 2024.
	●	Book value and tangible book value per share⁽¹⁾ increased to $28.12 and $24.06 at June 30, 2024, up from $27.67 and $23.68 at March 31, 2024.

The Company reported net income of $7.2 million, or $0.39 diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to net income of $8.0 million, or $0.43 diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

“We saw further signs of stabilization in the second quarter with modest loan growth and unchanged funding costs,” said David Morris, Chief Executive Officer of RBB Bancorp. “Net interest margin declined 2 basis points, but we are cautiously optimistic that it will begin to expand in the third and fourth quarter. We did see an increase in non-performing loans in the second quarter, due primarily to three loans, which have sufficient collateral at the end of the quarter. Our loan production of over $115 million resulted in $20 million in net loan growth and higher gain on sale of loans. We are seeing positive loan pipeline activity and as a result expect to have ongoing net loan growth.”

“The Board of Directors appreciates all of the hard work that went into stabilizing the business in a very difficult banking environment,” said Christina Kao, Chair of the Board of Directors. “We’re now ready to build on the Bank’s well-deserved reputation as one of the premier Asian-American financial institutions to serve our clients and enhance shareholder value.”

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income was $24.0 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $24.9 million for the first quarter of 2024. The $912,000 decrease in net interest income was due to a decrease in interest income of $1.9 million offset by a decrease in interest expense of $997,000. The decrease in interest income was due to lower interest income on interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions of $1.7 million and loans of $227,000. Interest and fees on loans included a reversal of interest income for loans that migrated to nonaccrual of $710,000 for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $190,000 for the first quarter. The decrease in interest expense was due to lower average interest-bearing deposits, as brokered deposits were replaced with retail deposits.

Net interest margin (“NIM”) was 2.67% for the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of two basis points from 2.69% for the first quarter of 2024. The decrease was due to a 3 basis point decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets combined with no change in the overall cost of funds. The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased to 5.89% for the second quarter of 2024 from 5.92% for the first quarter of 2024 due mainly to a 3 basis point decrease in the yield on average loans to 6.04% for the second quarter of 2024 combined with a change in the mix of average-earnings assets. Average loans represented 84% of average interest-earning assets in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 81% in the first quarter of 2024. During the second quarter, $22.5 million in loans migrated to nonaccrual, which reduced the second quarter's average loan yield by 9 basis points and the NIM by 8 basis points. In comparison, during the first quarter of 2024, $7.7 million in loans migrated to nonaccrual, which reduced the first quarter's average loan yield by 2 basis points and the NIM by 2 basis points. The overall cost of funds remained flat at 3.59% due to the average cost of interest-bearing deposits increasing 4 basis points to 4.36% in the second quarter of 2024, which was offset by an improvement in the overall funding mix. The ratio of average noninterest-bearing deposits to average total funding sources increased to 16.1% from 15.5%.

Provision for Credit Losses

The Company recorded a $557,000 provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2024 compared to no provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2024. The second quarter provision took into consideration factors including changes in the loan portfolio mix, ongoing uncertainty in the economy related to inflation and the outlook for market interest rates, and credit quality metrics, including higher nonperforming loans at the end of the second quarter of 2024 compared to the end of the first quarter of 2024.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2024 was $3.5 million, an increase of $116,000 from $3.4 million for the first quarter of 2024. This increase was due to income of $359,000 from an equity investment (included in other income) and $139,000 in higher gain on sale of loans, partially offset by lower net gain on other real estate owned ("OREO") of $432,000. OREO totaling $1.1 million was sold during the second quarter of 2024 for a gain of $292,000. This compared to a $560,000 gain on transfer of loans to OREO and net gain on the sale of OREO of $164,000 in the first quarter of 2024. There was no OREO outstanding at June 30, 2024.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2024 was $17.1 million, an increase of $155,000 from $17.0 million for the first quarter of 2024. This increase was due primarily to higher legal and professional expenses and other expenses, partially offset by a decrease in salaries and employee benefits expense due to the timing of taxes and benefits. The increase in legal and professional expenses are due primarily to legal expenses for credit-related matters and an insurance reimbursement during the first quarter of 2024. There was no similar insurance reimbursement in the second quarter of 2024. The annualized noninterest expenses divided by average assets for the second quarter of 2024 was 1.79%, up from 1.72% for the first quarter of 2024.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 25.9% for the second quarter of 2024 and 28.8% for the first quarter of 2024. The decrease in the effective tax rate in the second quarter is due in part to utilizing a higher level of tax credits. The effective tax rate for 2024 is estimated to be 28.0%.

Balance Sheet

At June 30, 2024, total assets were $3.9 billion, a $9.8 million decrease compared to March 31, 2024, and a $207.4 million decrease compared to June 30, 2023.

Loan and Securities Portfolio

Loans held for investment, net of deferred fees and discounts, totaled $3.0 billion as of June 30, 2024, an increase of $20.4 million from March 31, 2024. The increase from March 31, 2024 was primarily due to an $11.7 million increase in commercial real estate ("CRE") loans, a $5.2 million increase in commercial and industrial ("C&I") loans, a $4.4 million increase in construction and land development ("C&D") loans and a $4.3 million increase in single-family residential ("SFR") mortgages, partially offset by a $4.4 million decrease in Small Business Administration ("SBA") loans. The loan to deposit ratio was 99.4% at June 30, 2024, compared to 98.6% at March 31, 2024 and 99.3% at June 30, 2023.

As of June 30, 2024, available-for-sale securities totaled $325.6 million, a decrease of $9.6 million from March 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, net unrealized losses totaled $30.2 million, a $44,000 decrease due to increases in market interest rates, when compared to net unrealized losses as of March 31, 2024.

Deposits

Total deposits were $3.0 billion as of June 30, 2024, a $4.7 million decrease compared to March 31, 2024. This decrease was due to a decrease in interest-bearing deposits, while noninterest-bearing deposits increased $3.5 million to $543.0 million. The decrease in interest-bearing deposits included a decrease in time deposits of $13.1 million, offset by an increase in non-maturity deposits of $4.9 million. The decrease in time deposits included a $76.9 million decrease in higher cost wholesale deposits (brokered deposits, collateralized State of California certificates of deposit and deposits acquired through internet listing services). Wholesale deposits totaled $120.7 million at June 30, 2024, and $197.6 million at March 31, 2024. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 18.0% of total deposits at June 30, 2024 compared to 17.8% at March 31, 2024.

Credit Quality

Nonperforming assets totaled $54.6 million, or 1.41% of total assets, at June 30, 2024, compared to $37.0 million, or 0.95% of total assets, at March 31, 2024. The $17.6 million increase in nonperforming assets was due to an $18.7 million increase in nonperforming loans and a decrease of $1.1 million in OREO. The increase in nonperforming loans was mostly due to three loans that migrated to nonaccrual totaling $22.0 million, consisting of a C&D loan, a CRE loan and a C&I loan. The other nonperforming loan activity for the second quarter of 2024 included additions of $540,000, payoffs or paydowns of $3.0 million, loans that migrated to accruing status of $784,000, and nonaccrual loan charge-offs of $117,000. As previously noted, OREO totaling $1.1 million was sold during the second quarter of 2024 for a gain of $292,000.

Special mention loans totaled $19.5 million, or 0.64% of total loans, at June 30, 2024, compared to $20.6 million, or 0.68% of total loans, at March 31, 2024. The decrease was due to downgrades to substandard loans of $1.4 million, and loan paydowns of $711,000, offset by additions of $1.0 million.

Substandard loans totaled $63.1 million, or 2.07% of total loans, at June 30, 2024, compared to $57.2 million, or 1.89% of total loans, at March 31, 2024. The $5.9 million increase was primarily due to a $10.0 million C&D loan downgraded from pass to substandard and downgrades from special mention loans totaling $1.4 million, offset by loan paydowns of $6.0 million, upgrades to pass loans of $856,000, and charge-offs of $541,000.

30-89 day delinquent loans, excluding nonperforming loans, decreased $9.7 million to $11.3 million as of June 30, 2024, compared to $21.0 million as of March 31, 2024. The decrease in past due loans was due to $12.7 million in loans that migrated to nonaccrual, $4.4 million in loans that migrated back to past due for less than 30 days, and $1.6 million in loan payoffs or paydowns, partially offset by $9.0 million in new delinquent loans.

As of June 30, 2024, the allowance for credit losses totaled $42.4 million and was comprised of an allowance for loan losses of $41.7 million and a reserve for unfunded commitments of $624,000 (included in “Accrued interest and other liabilities”). This compares to the allowance for credit losses of $42.4 million comprised of an allowance for loan losses of $41.7 million and a reserve for unfunded commitments of $671,000 at March 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses for the second quarter of 2024 was impacted by a $557,000 provision for credit losses, net charge-offs of $551,000, and a reduction in specific reserves of $14,000. Although nonperforming loans increased, specific reserves decreased based on the level of collateral for individually reviewed, collateral dependent loans. Charge-offs in the second quarter of 2024 were primarily related to a CRE non-owner occupied loan that migrated to nonaccrual and was written-down to its estimated fair value. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans held for investment was 1.37% at June 30, 2024, compared to 1.38% at March 31, 2024. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 76% at June 30, 2024, a decrease from 116% at March 31, 2024.

The decrease in shareholders' equity for the second quarter of 2024 was due to dividends paid of $3.0 million and share repurchases of $8.1 million, offset by net earnings of $7.2 million, equity compensation activity of $1.1 million and lower net unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities of $67,000. Book value per share increased to $28.12 from $27.67 and tangible book value per share⁽¹⁾ increased to $24.06 from $23.68.

Return on Average Tangible Common Equity

Management measures return on average tangible common equity (“ROATCE”) to assess the Company’s capital strength and business performance and believes this is helpful to investors as an additional tool for further understanding our performance. Tangible equity excludes goodwill and other intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights), and is reviewed by banking and financial institution regulators when assessing a financial institution’s capital adequacy. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
