Members of the Boards of Trustees and Directors:

 

At your request, we have completed and hereby provide an independent appraisal ("Appraisal") of the estimated pro forma market value of the common stock which is to be issued in connection with the stock issuance transaction described below.

 

This Appraisal is furnished pursuant to the requirements stipulated in the Code of Federal Regulations and has been prepared in accordance with the “Guidelines for Appraisal Reports for the Valuation of Savings and Loan Associations Converting from Mutual to Stock Form of Organization” (the “Valuation Guidelines”) of the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) and accepted by the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the New York State Department of Financial Services (the “Department”), and applicable regulatory interpretations thereof.

 

Description of Plan of Reorganization and Minority Stock Issuance

 

On June 12, 2018, the Board of Trustees of Rhinebeck Bancorp, MHC (the “MHC”) and the Board of Directors of Rhinebeck Bank adopted the Plan of Reorganization and Minority Stock Issuance (the “Plan”). Pursuant to the Plan, Rhinebeck Bank will reorganize into the “two-tier” mutual holding company form of organization. In connection with the Plan, Rhinebeck Bank has organized a new Maryland stock holding company named Rhinebeck Bancorp, Inc. (“Rhinebeck Bancorp” or the “Company”), which will issue a majority of its common stock to the MHC and sell a minority of its common stock to the public. When the reorganization and minority stock offering are completed, all of the outstanding capital stock of Rhinebeck Bank will be owned by Rhinebeck Bancorp. The MHC will own a controlling interest in the Company of 55% and the Company will a subsidiary of the MHC. For purposes of this document, Rhinebeck Bancorp, MHC as it currently exists prior to the reorganization will hereinafter be referred to as “Rhinebeck Bancorp” or the “Company”.

 

Rhinebeck Bancorp will offer its common stock in a subscription offering to Eligible Account Holders, Tax-Qualified Plans including Rhinebeck Bank’s employee stock ownership plan (the “ESOP”) and 401(k) plan, and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders as such terms are defined for purposes of applicable regulatory guidelines governing stock offerings by mutual  institutions. To the extent that shares remain available for purchase after satisfaction of all subscriptions received in the subscription offering, the shares may be offered for sale to members of the general public in a community offering and a syndicated or firm commitment offering. It is anticipated that 60% of the net proceeds from the stock offering will be invested in Rhinebeck Bank and the balance of the net proceeds will be retained by the Company.

At this time, no other activities are contemplated for the Company other than the ownership of the Bank, holding $5.2 million of subordinated debt, funding a loan to the newly-formed ESOP and reinvestment of the proceeds that are retained by the Company. In the future, Rhinebeck Bancorp may acquire or organize other operating subsidiaries, diversify into other banking-related activities, pay dividends or repurchase its stock, although there are no specific plans to undertake such activities at the present time.

 

The Plan provides for the establishment of a new charitable foundation, Rhinebeck Bank Community Foundation (the “Foundation”). The Foundation’s contribution will be funded with 2.0% of the number of shares of common stock issued in the stock issuance and $200,000 of cash funded by the net proceeds retained by the Company. The purpose of the Foundation is to provide financial support to charitable organizations in the communities in which Rhinebeck Bank operates and to enable those communities to share in the Company’s long-term growth. The Foundation will be dedicated completely to community activities and the promotion of charitable causes.

 

RP® Financial, LC.

 

RP® Financial, LC. (“RP Financial”) is a financial consulting firm serving the financial services industry nationwide that, among other things, specializes in financial valuations and analyses of business enterprises and securities, including the pro forma valuation for savings institutions converting from mutual-to-stock form. The background and experience of RP Financial is detailed in Exhibit V-1. We believe that, except for the fee we will receive for the Appraisal, we are independent of the Company, Rhinebeck Bank, the MHC and the other parties engaged by Rhinebeck Bank, the Company or the MHC to assist in the minority stock offering process.

 

Valuation Methodology

 

In preparing our Appraisal, we have reviewed the regulatory applications of the Company, the Bank and the MHC, including the prospectus as filed with the FRB, the FDIC, the Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We have conducted a financial analysis of the Company, Rhinebeck Bank and the MHC that has included a review of audited financial information for the years ended 2013 through 2017, unaudited financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018, a review of various unaudited information and internal financial reports through June 30, 2018, and due diligence related discussions with the Company’s management; Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP, the Company’s independent auditor; Luse Goreman, PC, the Company’s counsel for the stock issuance and Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P., the Company’s marketing advisor in connection with the stock offering. All assumptions and conclusions set forth in the Appraisal were reached independently from such discussions. In addition, where appropriate, we have considered information based on other available published sources that we believe are reliable. While we believe the information and data gathered from all these sources are reliable, we cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of such information.

We have investigated the competitive environment within which Rhinebeck Bancorp operates and have assessed Rhinebeck Bancorp’s relative strengths and weaknesses. We have kept abreast of the changing regulatory and legislative environment for financial institutions and analyzed the potential impact on Rhinebeck Bancorp and the industry as a whole. We have analyzed the potential effects of the stock offering on Rhinebeck Bancorp’s operating characteristics and financial performance as they relate to the pro forma market value of Rhinebeck Bancorp. We have reviewed the economic and demographic characteristics of the Company’s primary market area. We have compared Rhinebeck Bancorp’s financial performance and condition with selected publicly-traded thrifts in accordance with the Valuation Guidelines, as well as all publicly-traded thrifts and thrift holding companies. We have reviewed the current conditions in the securities markets in general and the market for thrift stocks in particular, including the market for existing thrift issues and initial public offerings by thrifts and thrift holding companies. We have excluded from such analyses thrifts subject to announced or rumored acquisition, and/or institutions that exhibit other unusual characteristics.

 

The Appraisal is based on Rhinebeck Bancorp’s representation that the information contained in the regulatory applications and additional information furnished to us by Rhinebeck Bancorp and its independent auditor, legal counsel and other authorized agents are truthful, accurate and complete. We did not independently verify the financial statements and other information provided by Rhinebeck Bancorp, or its independent auditor, legal counsel and other authorized agents nor did we independently value the assets or liabilities of Rhinebeck Bancorp. The valuation considers Rhinebeck Bancorp only as a going concern and should not be considered as an indication of Rhinebeck Bancorp’s liquidation value.

 

Our appraised value is predicated on a continuation of the current operating environment for Rhinebeck Bancorp and for all thrifts and their holding companies. Changes in the local, state and national economy, the legislative and regulatory environment for financial institutions and mutual holding companies, the stock market, interest rates, and other external forces (such as natural disasters or significant world events) may occur from time to time, often with great unpredictability and may materially impact the value of thrift stocks as a whole or the value of Rhinebeck Bancorp’s stock alone. It is our understanding that there are no current plans for selling control of Rhinebeck Bancorp following completion of the stock offering. To the extent that such factors can be foreseen, they have been factored into our analysis.

 

The estimated pro forma market value is defined as the price at which Rhinebeck Bancorp’s common stock, immediately upon completion of the stock offering, would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts.

Valuation Conclusion

 

Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of August 3, 2018, the estimated aggregate pro forma market value of the shares to be issued immediately following the minority stock offering, both shares issued publicly as well as to the MHC, equaled $89,285,710 at the midpoint, equal to 8,928,571 shares offered at a per share value of $10.00. Pursuant to conversion guidelines, the 15% offering range indicates a minimum value of $75,892,850 and a maximum value of $102,678,570. Based on the $10.00 per share offering price determined by the Board, this valuation range equates to total shares outstanding of 7,589,285 at the minimum and 10,267,857 at the maximum. In the event the appraised value is subject to an increase, the aggregate pro forma market value may be increased up to a super maximum value of $118,080,360 without a resolicitation. Based on the $10.00 per share offering price, the super maximum value would result in total shares outstanding of 11,808,036. The Board of Directors has established a public offering range such that the public ownership of the Company will constitute a 43.0% ownership interest prior to the issuance of shares to the Foundation. Accordingly, the offering to the public of the minority stock will equal $32,633,930 at the minimum, $38,392,860 at the midpoint, $44,151,790 at the maximum and $50,774,560 at the super maximum of the valuation range. Based on the public offering range and inclusive of the shares issued to the Foundation, equal to 2.0% of the shares issued in the stock issuance, the public ownership of shares will represent 45.0% of the shares issued throughout the valuation range.

 

Limiting Factors and Considerations

 

The valuation is not intended, and must not be construed, as a recommendation of any kind as to the advisability of purchasing shares of the common stock. Moreover, because such valuation is determined in accordance with applicable regulatory guidelines and is necessarily based upon estimates and projections of a number of matters, all of which are subject to change from time to time, no assurance can be given that persons who purchase shares of common stock in the stock offering will thereafter be able to buy or sell such shares at prices related to the foregoing valuation of the estimated pro forma market value thereof. The appraisal reflects only a valuation range as of this date for the pro forma market value of Rhinebeck Bancorp immediately upon issuance of the stock and does not take into account any trading activity with respect to the purchase and sale of common stock in the secondary market on the date of issuance of such securities or at anytime thereafter following the completion of the stock offering.

 

RP Financial’s valuation was based on the financial condition and operations of Rhinebeck Bancorp as of June 30, 2018, the date of the financial data included in the prospectus.

 

RP Financial is not a seller of securities within the meaning of any federal and state securities laws and any report prepared by RP Financial shall not be used as an offer or solicitation with respect to the purchase or sale of any securities. RP Financial maintains a policy which prohibits RP Financial, its principals or employees from purchasing stock of its client institutions.

This valuation will be updated as provided for in the conversion regulations and guidelines. These updates will consider, among other things, any developments or changes in the financial performance and condition of Rhinebeck Bancorp, management policies, and current conditions in the equity markets for thrift shares, both existing issues and new issues. These updates may also consider changes in other external factors which impact value including, but not limited to: various changes in the legislative and regulatory environment for financial institutions, the stock market and the market for thrift stocks, and interest rates. Should any such new developments or changes be material, in our opinion, to the valuation of the shares, appropriate adjustments to the estimated pro forma market value will be made. The reasons for any such adjustments will be explained in the update at the date of the release of the update. The valuation will also be updated at the completion of Rhinebeck Bancorp’s stock offering.

I. Overview and Financial Analysis

 

Introduction

 

Rhinebeck Bank, established in 1860, is a New York-chartered savings bank headquartered in Poughkeepsie, New York. Rhinebeck Bancorp, MHC (the “MHC”) was formed in October 2004 as a New York mutual holding company in connection with the reorganization of Rhinebeck Bank’s mutual saving bank predecessor into the mutual holding company form of organization. To date, the MHC has not engaged in any business activity other than ownership of all the common stock of Rhinebeck Bank. Rhinebeck Bank serves the Hudson Valley region or the New York metropolitan area through 11 full-service banking offices and an administrative office. A map of Rhinebeck Bank’s office locations is provided in Exhibit I-1. Rhinebeck Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) system and its deposits are insured up to the maximum allowable amount by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). As of June 30, 2018, Rhinebeck Bancorp, MHC had total assets of $789.9 million, total deposits of $666.1 million and total equity of $55.6 million equal to 7.03% of total assets. The MHC’s audited financial statements are included by reference as Exhibit I-2.

 

Plan of Reorganization and Minority Stock Issuance

 

On June 12, 2018, the Board of Trustees of the MHC and the Board of Directors of Rhinebeck Bank adopted the Plan of Reorganization and Minority Stock Issuance (the “Plan”). Pursuant to the Plan, Rhinebeck Bank will reorganize into the “two-tier” mutual holding company form of organization. In connection with the Plan, Rhinebeck Bank has organized a new Maryland stock holding company named Rhinebeck Bancorp, Inc. (“Rhinebeck Bancorp” or the “Company”), which will issue a majority of its common stock to the MHC and sell a minority of its common stock to the public. When the reorganization and minority stock offering are completed, all of the outstanding capital stock of Rhinebeck Bank will be owned by Rhinebeck Bancorp. The MHC will own a controlling interest in the Company of 55% and the Company will a subsidiary of the MHC. For purposes of this document, Rhinebeck Bancorp, MHC as it currently exists prior to the reorganization will hereinafter be referred to as “Rhinebeck Bancorp” or the “Company”.

Rhinebeck Bancorp will offer its common stock in a subscription offering to Eligible Account Holders, Tax-Qualified Plans including Rhinebeck Bank’s employee stock ownership plan (the “ESOP”) and 401(k) plan, and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders as such terms are defined for purposes of applicable regulatory guidelines governing stock offerings by mutual institutions. To the extent that shares remain available for purchase after satisfaction of all subscriptions received in the subscription offering, the shares may be offered for sale to members of the general public in a community offering and a syndicated or firm commitment offering. It is anticipated that 60% of the net proceeds from the stock offering will be invested in Rhinebeck Bank and the balance of the net proceeds will be retained by the Company.

 

At this time, no other activities are contemplated for the Company other than the ownership of the Bank, holding $5.2 million of subordinated debt, funding a loan to the newly-formed ESOP and reinvestment of the proceeds that are retained by the Company. In the future, Rhinebeck Bancorp may acquire or organize other operating subsidiaries, diversify into other banking-related activities, pay dividends or repurchase its stock, although there are no specific plans to undertake such activities at the present time.

 

The Plan provides for the establishment of a new charitable foundation, Rhinebeck Bank Community Foundation (the “Foundation”). The Foundation’s contribution will be funded with 2.0% of the number of shares of common stock issued in the stock issuance and $200,000 of cash funded by the net proceeds retained by the Company. The purpose of the Foundation is to provide financial support to charitable organizations in the communities in which Rhinebeck Bank operates and to enable those communities to share in the Company’s long-term growth. The Foundation will be dedicated completely to community activities and the promotion of charitable causes.

 

Strategic Overview

 

Rhinebeck Bancorp maintains a local community banking emphasis, with a primary strategic objective of meeting the borrowing and deposit needs of its local customer base. Rhinebeck Bancorp’s strategic emphasis has shifted from that of a traditional thrift to that of a full service community bank. The Company is pursuing a strategy of strengthening its community bank franchise dedicated to meeting the banking needs of its business and retail customers in the communities that are served by the Company. In recent years, growth strategies have emphasized increased lending diversification that targets growth of commercial real estate and commercial business loans. Additionally, automobile lending has been a significant area of lending diversification for the Company, whereby the Company originates loans through an active network of approximately 112 dealers. In connection with the implementation of a full service community banking strategy, the Company has invested in infrastructure and personnel to manage and facilitate growth strategies and will seek to continue to add commercial lenders to accelerate commercial loan growth. In March 2018, the Company hired a team of lenders in Albany, New York that focuses on indirect automobile lending. The Bank’s objective is to fund asset growth primarily through deposit growth, emphasizing growth of lower cost core deposits. Core deposit growth is expected to be in part facilitated by growth of commercial lending relationships, pursuant to which the Company is seeking to establish a full service banking relationship with its commercial loan customers through offering a full range of commercial loan products that can be packaged with lower cost commercial deposit products. As a complement to the Company’s deposit products and services, the Company also offers wealth management services which is an additional source of fee income. At June 30, 2018, the Company’s wealth management division had approximately $125 million in assets under management.

OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

Investments serve as a supplement to the Company’s lending activities and the investment portfolio is considered to be indicative of a low risk investment philosophy. Mortgage-backed securities constitute the largest portion of the Company’s investment portfolio, with other investments consisting of U.S. government and agency securities,, U.S. Treasury securities and municipal bonds.

 

Deposits have consistently served as the primary funding source for the Company, with supplemental funding provided by utilization of borrowings as an alternative funding source for purposes of managing funding costs and interest rate risk. Core deposits, consisting of transaction and savings account deposits constitute the largest portion of the Company’s deposit base. Borrowings currently held by the Company consist primarily of FHLB advances and also includes subordinated debt.

 

Rhinebeck Bancorp’s earnings base is largely dependent upon net interest income and operating expense levels. The Company’s net interest margin has trended higher in recent years, which is somewhat counter to industrywide trends. The improvement in the Company’s net interest margin has been facilitated by loan growth, particularly with respect to growth of higher yielding types of loans which has translated into an upward trend in the overall yield earned on interest-assets. The Company has also experienced a recent increase in funding costs, following several years of maintaining a relatively stable cost of funds. Operating expense ratios have declined in recent years, which has been facilitated by a reduction in other real estate owned (“OREO”) expense and leveraging of operating expenses through asset growth. Non-interest operating income has been a less significant contributor to the Company’s earnings in recent years, which has primarily been attributable to the sale of the Company’s insurance subsidiary and a decrease in OREO income.

The post-offering business plan of the Company is expected to continue to focus on implementing strategic initiatives to develop and grow a full service community banking franchise. Accordingly, Rhinebeck Bancorp will continue to be an independent full service community bank, with a commitment to meeting the retail and commercial banking needs of individuals and businesses in the Hudson Valley region of New York.

 

The MHC’s Board of Trustees and Rhinebeck Bank’s Board of Directors have elected to complete a public stock offering to sustain growth strategies and facilitate implementation of its strategic plan. The capital realized from the stock offering will increase the Company’s operating flexibility and allow for additional growth of the balance sheet. The additional funds realized from the stock offering will provide an alternative funding source to deposits and borrowings in meeting the Company’s future funding needs, which may facilitate a reduction in Rhinebeck Bancorp’s funding costs. Additionally, Rhinebeck Bancorp’s higher equity-to-assets ratio will enable the Company to pursue expansion opportunities. Such expansion would most likely occur through the establishment of additional banking offices to increase the Company’s market presence in Orange County, New York. The Company will also be in a better position to pursue growth through acquisition of other financial service providers following the stock offering, given its strengthened capital position. The projected uses of proceeds are highlighted below.

 

·The Company. The Company is expected to retain 40% of the net offering proceeds. At present, funds at the Company level, net of the loan to the ESOP, are expected to be primarily invested initially into liquid funds held as a deposit at Rhinebeck Bank. Over time, the funds may be utilized for various corporate purposes, possibly including acquisitions, infusing additional equity into Rhinebeck Bank, repurchases of common stock and the payment of cash dividends.

 

·Rhinebeck Bank. Approximately 60% of the net conversion proceeds will be infused into Rhinebeck Bank. Cash proceeds (i.e., net proceeds less deposits withdrawn to fund stock purchases) infused into Rhinebeck Bank are anticipated to become part of general operating funds and are expected to be primarily utilized to fund loan growth over time.

Overall, it is the Company’s objective to pursue controlled growth that will serve to increase returns, while continuing to emphasize management of the overall risk associated with Rhinebeck Bancorp’s operations.

 

Balance Sheet Trends

 

Table 1.1 shows the Company’s historical balance sheet data for the past five and one-half years. From yearend 2013 through June 30, 2018, Rhinebeck Bancorp’s assets increased at a 5.80% annual rate. Asset growth was largely driven by loan growth, which was primarily funded by deposit growth. A summary of Rhinebeck Bancorp’s key operating ratios for the past five and one-half years is presented in Exhibit I-3.

 

Rhinebeck Bancorp’s loans receivable portfolio increased at a 6.45% annual rate from yearend 2013 through June 30, 2018. After declining in 2015, the balance of loans receivable has trended higher over the past two and one-half years. The most significant loan growth was realized during the six month period ended June 30, 2018, which was primarily attributable to growth of the indirect automobile loan portfolio. The Company’s higher loan growth rate compared to its asset growth rate served to increase the loans-to-assets ratio from 76.52% at yearend 2013 to 78.65% at June 30, 2018.

 

Growth of the Company’s loan portfolio over the since yearend 2013 has been primarily driven by growth of indirect auto loans, commercial real estate loans and commercial business loans, while the overall composition the loan portfolio has been relatively stable over the past five and one-half years. Trends in the Company’s loan portfolio composition since yearend 2013 show that the concentration of indirect automobile loans increased from 39.34% of total loans at yearend 2013 to 40.32% of total loans at June 30, 2018. Comparatively, from yearend 2013 through June 30, 2018, commercial real estate loans (non-residential and multi-family loans) decreased from 36.07% of total loans to 34.16% of total loans and commercial business loans increased from 10.11% of total loans to 12.18% of total loans. Over the same time period, the relative concentrations of 1-4 family loans increased from 6.90% of total loans to 7.05% of total loans and home equity loans and lines of credit decreased from 5.30% of total loans to 3.24% of total loans. The Company also holds relatively small balances of construction loans and other consumer loans, which equaled 1.41% and 1.64% of total loans, respectively, at June 30, 2018.

OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

I.7

 

The intent of the Company’s investment policy is to provide adequate liquidity and to generate a favorable return within the context of supporting Rhinebeck Bancorp’s overall credit and interest rate risk objectives. It is anticipated that proceeds retained at the holding company level will be invested into liquid funds held as a deposit at Rhinebeck Bank. Since yearend 2013, the Company’s level of cash and investment securities (inclusive of FHLB stock) ranged from a low of 13.43% of assets at yearend 2013 to a high of 21.56% of assets at yearend 2016. As of June 30, 2018, the balance of cash and investments equaled 15.15% of total assets. Mortgage-backed securities totaling $82.5 million comprised the most significant component of the Company’s investment portfolio at June 30, 2018. Other investments held by the Company at June 30, 2018 consisted of U.S. government and agency securities ($16.3 million), U.S. Treasury securities ($2.9 million), and municipal bonds ($3.1 million). As of June 30, 2018, investments maintained as held to maturity totaled $1.7 million and investments maintained as available for sale totaled $103.3 million. Investments maintained as available-at June 30, 2018 had a net unrealized loss of $4.5 million. Exhibit I-4 provides historical detail of the Company’s investment portfolio. As of June 30, 2018, the Company also held $12.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and $2.4 million of FHLB stock.

 

The Company also maintains an investment in bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) policies, which cover the lives of certain officers and Trustees of the Company. The life insurance policies earn tax-exempt income through cash value accumulation and death proceeds. As of June 30, 2018, the cash surrender value of the Company’s BOLI equaled $17.8 million.

 

Since yearend 2013, Rhinebeck Bancorp’s funding needs have been addressed through a combination of deposits, borrowings and internal cash flows. From yearend 2013 through June 30, 2018, the Company’s deposits increased at a 4.99% annual rate. Deposits as a percent of assets decreased from 87.30% at yearend 2013 to 84.33% at June 30, 2018. Deposits growth was sustained throughout the period covered in Table 1.1. Deposit growth trends in recent years reflect that deposit growth has primarily consisted of core deposits and, to a lesser extent, growth certificates of deposit (“CDs”). Core deposits comprised 77.15% of total deposits at June 30, 2018, versus 72.97% of total deposits at December 31, 2015.

 

Borrowings serve as an alternative funding source for the Company to address funding needs for growth and to support management of deposit costs and interest rate risk. Additionally, the Company issued subordinated debt, in which most of the funds were down streamed into Rhinebeck Bank for purposes of increasing regulatory capital. From yearend 2013 through June 30, 2018, borrowings increased from $12.7 million or 2.07% of assets to $48.2 million or 6.10% of assets. Borrowings currently held by the Company consist of FHLB advances and subordinated debt.

OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

The Company’s equity increased at a 1.66% annual rate from yearend 2013 through June 30, 2018, which was largely related to retention of earnings. A stronger rate of asset growth relative to equity growth since yearend 2013 provided for a decrease in the Company’s equity-to-assets ratio from 8.42% at yearend 2013 to 7.03% at June 30, 2018. Similarly, the Company’s tangible equity-to-assets ratio decreased from 7.52% at yearend 2013 to 6.81% at June 30, 2018. Goodwill and other intangibles totaled $1.7 million or 0.22% of assets at June 30, 2018. Rhinebeck Bank maintained capital surpluses relative to all of its regulatory capital requirements at June 30, 2018. The addition of stock proceeds will serve to strengthen the Company’s capital position, as well as support growth opportunities. At the same time, the increase in Rhinebeck Bancorp’s pro forma capital position will initially depress its ROE.

 

Income and Expense Trends

 

Table 1.2 shows the Company’s historical income statements for the past five years and for the twelve months ended June 30, 2018. The Company’s reported earnings ranged from $857,000 or 0.13% of average assets during 2015 to a high of $3.0 million or 0.42% of average assets during 2017. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2018, the Company reported net income of $2.6 million or 0.35% of average assets. Net interest income and operating expenses represent the primary components of the Company’s recurring earnings, while non-operating income has become a less significant contributor to the Company’s earnings with sale of the Company’s insurance subsidiary in 2017 and the sale of the golf course which was being held as OREO in 2016. Loan loss provisions have had a varied impact on the Company’s earnings over the past five and one-half years. Non-operating gains and losses generally have not been a significant factor in the Company’s earnings over the past five and one-half years, with the exception of a $1.4 million net non-operating loss recorded in 2014 and a $1.4 million net non-operating gain recorded in 2017.

 

During the period covered in Table 1.2, the Company’s net interest income to average assets ratio ranged from a low of 3.18% during 2015 to a high of 3.66% during 2013. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2018, the Company’s net interest income to average assets ratio equaled 3.47%. The upward trend in the Company’s net interest income ratio since 2015 has been primarily due to an increase in the interest income ratio. Notably, a shift in the Company’s interest-earning asset composition towards a higher concentration of comparatively higher yielding loans relative to lower yielding investments served to increase the overall yield on interest-earning assets, while the Company has maintained a relatively stable cost of funds over the same time period. Overall, during the past five and one-half years, the Company’s interest rate spread ranged from a low of 3.39% during 2015 to a high of 4.07% during 2013 and equaled 3.59% during the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to 3.51% during the six months ended June 30, 2017. The Company’s net interest rate spreads and yields and costs for the past five and one-half years are set forth in Exhibit I-3 and Exhibit I-5.

OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

I.10

 

Non-interest operating income has become a less significant contributor to the Company’s earning following the sale of its insurance subsidiary in 2017 and the sale of a golf course being held as OREO in 2016. Throughout the period shown in Table 1.2, non-interest operating income, including gains on the sale of loans, ranged from a from a low of $5.5 million or 0.74% of average assets during the twelve months ended June 30, 2018 to a high of $10.1 million or 1.66% of average assets during 2013. Prior to the sale of the insurance subsidiary and golf course, those sources of income were two of the Company’s largest source of non-interest operating income. Currently, service charges on deposit accounts is the largest contributor to non-interest operating income, while BOLI income, investment advisory income and net gains on the sale of loans are also noteworthy contributors to the Company’s non-interest operating revenues.

 

Operating expenses represent the other major component of the Company’s earnings, which have been maintained at a relatively high ratio as a percent of average assets. The Company’s relative high operating expense ratios have been largely related to its off-balance sheet activities, which includes wealth management services, mortgage banking operations and insurance products and services. OREO expense was also a fairly significant component of the Company’s operating expenses during 2013 through 2015, which was primarily related to a golf course acquired through foreclosure. In recent years, the Company’s operating expense ratio has trended lower, which has been facilitate by leveraging of operating expenses through asset growth as well as the reductions in operating expenses there were realized with the sale of the golf course and the insurance subsidiary. Overall, the Company’s operating expense to average assets ranged from a high of 4.54% during 2013 to a low of 3.37% during the twelve months ended June 30, 2018.

Overall, during the past five and one-half years, the Company’s expense coverage ratios (net interest income divided by operating expenses) ranged from a low of 0.77x during 2015 to a high of 1.03x during the twelve months ended June 30, 2018. Similarly, the Company’s efficiency ratio (operating expenses as a percent of the sum of net interest income and other operating income) reflected an improving trend in core earnings since 2015, based on efficiency ratios of 92.02% and 80.05% during 2015 and the twelve months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

 

During the period covered in Table 1.2, the amount of loan loss provisions established ranged from low of $150,000 or 0.02% of average assets during 2015 to a high of $3.0 million or 0.50% of average assets during 2013. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2018, the Company reported loan loss provisions of $1.5 million or 0.20% of average assets. The increase in loss provisions established during the most recent twelve month period was related to such factors as an acceleration in loan growth during the six months ended June 30, 2018, an increase in net charge-offs recorded during 2017 and an increase in the balance of non-accruing loans since yearend 2016. As of June 30, 2018 the Company maintained loan loss allowances of $5.9 million, equal to 0.96% of total loans receivable and 59.51% of non-accruing loans. Exhibit I-6 sets forth the Company’s loan loss allowance activity for the past five and one-half years.

 

Non-operating income and losses generally have not been a significant factor in the Company’s earnings over the past five and one-half years, with the exception of 2014 and 2017. In 2014, the Company recorded a net non-operating loss of $1.4 million or 0.22% of average assets, which included a $1.5 million write-down of OREO. In 2017, the Company recorded a net non-operating gain of $1.4 million, which included a $1.8 million gain on the sale of its insurance subsidiary. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2018, the Company reported a net non-operating gain of $1.0 million or 0.14% of average assets. The net non-operating gain reported during the twelve months ended June 30, 2018 consisted of the $1.8 gain on the sale of the insurance subsidiary, a $16,000 net loss on sales of securities, a $106,000 loss on the sale of premises and equipment, a $693,000 write-down of OREO and a $1,000 net gain on the sale of OREO.

 

Over the past five and one-half years, the Company’s effective tax rate ranged from a low of 15.73% during 2013 to a high of 55.00% during the twelve months ended June 30, 2018. The relatively high effective tax rates recorded for 2017 and the twelve months ended June 30, 2018 includes a reduction in the value of the Company’s deferred tax assets and a corresponding charge to income tax expense of $1.9 million, as the result of the reduction in the Company’s federal marginal tax rate from 34% to 21%. As set forth in the Company’s prospectus, the Company’s marginal effective tax rate (state and federal) is 27.0%.

Interest Rate Risk Management

 

The Company’s balance sheet is slightly liability sensitive in the short-term (less than one year). While financial institutions in general have been experiencing some interest spread compression during recent periods, due to the average yield earned on interest-earning assets declining more relative to the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, the Company has been effective in increasing its interest rate spread through increasing the overall yield earned on interest-earning assets while also maintaining a relative stable cost of funds. The increase in yield has been primarily realized through increasing the concentration of interest-earning comprised of loans relative to lower yielding cash and investments. As of June 30, 2018, an analysis of the Company’s net portfolio value (“NPV”) indicated that in the event of an instantaneous parallel 200 basis point increase in the yield curve NPV would decrease by 5%, which was within policy limits (see Exhibit I-7).

 

The Company pursues a number of strategies to manage interest rate risk, particularly with respect to seeking to limit the repricing mismatch between interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. The Company manages interest rate risk from the asset side of the balance sheet through investing in investment securities with an average life of five years or less, maintaining most of the investment portfolio as available for sale, selling most originations of longer term 1-4 family fixed rate loans and significant lending diversification into other types of lending beyond 1-4 family permanent mortgage loans which consist primarily of adjustable rate or shorter term fixed rate loans. As of December 31, 2017, of the Company’s total loans due after December 31, 2018, adjustable rate loans comprised 56.67% of total loans receivable (see Exhibit I-8). On the liability side of the balance sheet, management of interest rate risk has been pursued through emphasizing growth of lower costing and less interest rate sensitive transaction and savings account deposits Transaction and savings account deposits comprised 77.15% of the Company’s total deposits at June 30, 2018.

 

The infusion of stock proceeds will serve to further limit the Company’s interest rate risk exposure, as most of the net proceeds will be redeployed into interest-earning assets and the increase in the Company’s capital position will lessen the proportion of interest rate sensitive liabilities funding assets.

Lending Activities and Strategy

 

Pursuant to the Company’s strategic plan, the Company is pursuing a diversified lending strategy emphasizing commercial real estate loans and commercial business loans as the primary areas of targeted loan growth. Currently, the indirect automobile loan portfolio constitutes the largest concentration of the Company’s loan portfolio, followed by commercial real estate and multi-family loans. Other areas of lending for the Company include 1-4 family permanent mortgage loans, construction loans, home equity loans and lines of credit and other consumer loans. Exhibit I-9 provides historical detail of Rhinebeck Bancorp’s loan portfolio composition for the past five and one-half years and Exhibit I-10 provides the contractual maturity of the Company’s loan portfolio by loan type as of June 30, 2018.

 

Commercial Real Estate and Multi-Family Loans. Commercial real estate and multi-family loans consist largely of loans originated by the Company, which are generally collateralized by properties in the Company’s regional lending area. On a limited basis, the Company supplements originations of commercial real estate and multi-family loans with purchased loan participations from local banks. Loan participations are subject to the same underwriting criteria and loan approvals as applied to loans originated by the Company. Rhinebeck Bancorp generally originates commercial real estate and multi-family loans up to a loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio of 75% and generally requires a minimum debt-coverage ratio of 1.25 times. Commercial real estate and multi-family loans are generally originated for terms of up to 25 years. Commercial real estate and multi-family loans are generally offered as adjustable rate loans, which are typically indexed to The Wall Street Journal prime rate or U.S. Constant Maturity Treasury Rates. Properties securing the commercial real estate and multi-family loan portfolio include office buildings, industrial/warehouse facilities, retail plazas, medical office buildings, and apartment buildings. At June 30, 2018, the Company’s largest commercial real estate loan had an outstanding balance of $5.2 million and was secured by a commercial property located in Hawthorne, New York. At June 30, 2018, this loan was performing in accordance with its original terms. At June 30, 2018, the Company’s largest multi-family loan had an outstanding balance of $3.2 million and was secured by a property in Pleasant Valley, New York. At June 30, 2018, this loan was performing in accordance with its original terms. As of June 30, 2017, the Company’s outstanding balance of commercial real estate and multi-family loans totaled $212.0 million equal to 34.16% of total loans outstanding.

1-4 Family Residential Loans. Rhinebeck Bancorp offers both fixed rate and adjustable rate 1-4 family permanent mortgage loans with terms of up to 30 years. Loans are generally underwritten to secondary market guidelines, so as to allow for the sale of such loans if such a strategy is warranted for purposes of interest rate risk management. The Company’s current practice is to generally sell conforming fixed rate loans, most of which are sold on a servicing released basis. ARM loans offered by the Company have initial repricing terms of up to ten years and then reprice annually for the balance of the loan term. ARM loans are typically indexed to U.S. Constant Maturity Rates. As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s outstanding balance of 1-4 family loans totaled $43.7 million (including $4.4 million of 1-4 family construction loans) equal to 7.05% of total loans outstanding.

 

Home Equity Loans and Lines of Credit. The Company’s 1-4 family lending activities include home equity loans and advances. Home equity loans are offered as fixed rate loans with terms of up to 20 years. Home equity lines of credit are indexed to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal and are offered as interest-only revolving lines of credit with a draw period of up to 10 ten years followed by a 15 year repayment term. The Company will generally originate home equity loans and lines of credit up to a maximum LTV ratio of 80%, inclusive of other liens on the property. As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s outstanding balance of home equity loans and lines of credit totaled $20.1 million equal to 3.24% of total loans outstanding.

 

Construction and Land Development Loans. Construction loans originated by the Company consist of loans to finance the construction of 1-4 family residences, commercial real estate properties and multi-family properties. The Company also originates loans on unimproved land for purposes of development. Construction and land development loans are generally structured as two year interest-only balloon loans. Construction loans for 1-4 family properties are generally offered up to a maximum LTV ratio of 80% and construction loans for commercial properties are generally offered up to a maximum LTV ratio of 75% of the appraised value on a completed basis or the cost of completion, whichever is less. Land development loans on raw land are generally offered up to a maximum LTV ratio of 50% and up to a maximum LTV ratio of 65% on improved lots. As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s outstanding balance of commercial construction loans totaled $8.7 million equal to 1.41% of total loans outstanding.

Commercial Business Loans. The commercial business loan portfolio is generated through extending loans to businesses operating in the local market area. Expansion of commercial business lending activities is a desired area of loan growth for the Company, pursuant to which the Company is seeking to become a full service community bank to its commercial loan customers through offering a full range of commercial loan products that can be packaged with lower cost commercial deposit products. The Company offers a variety of secured and unsecured commercial business loans that include term loans for equipment financing and business acquisitions, working capital loans, inventory financing and revolving lines of credit. Fixed rate loans are generally offered for terms of up to five years and are fully amortizing. Revolving lines of credit are generally extended as floating rate loans indexed to The Wall Street Journal prime rate. As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s outstanding balance of commercial business loans totaled $75.6 million equal to 12.18% of total loans outstanding.

 

Indirect Automobile Loans. The Company currently receives auto loans from approximately 78 automobile dealership relationships in the Hudson Valley and approximated 34 automobile dealerships in the area of Albany, New York, where it hired a team of lenders in March 2018 that focus on indirect automobile lending. The maximum term for automobile loans depends on the age of the vehicle. Approximately 38% of the aggregate balance of the indirect automobile loan portfolio was for new vehicles and the remaining 62% was for used vehicles. The weighted average original term to maturity of the indirect automobile loan portfolio at June 30, 2018 was approximately five years and three months. As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s outstanding balance of indirect automobile loans totaled $250.2 million equal to 40.32% of total loans outstanding.

 

Other Consumer Loans. Consumer lending other than indirect automobile loans and home equity loans and lines of credit has been a somewhat limited area of lending diversification for the Company, with such loans consisting of installment loans, personal loans and unsecured lines of credit. As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s outstanding balance of other consumer loans totaled $10.2 million equal to 1.64% of total loans outstanding.

Asset Quality

 

Historically, the Company’s lending emphasis on lending in local and familiar markets generally supported maintenance of relatively favorable credit quality measures. However, with the onset of the national recession and resulting financial crisis, the Company experienced some deterioration in credit quality. In recent years, the Company has taken proactive measures to address credit quality deterioration and significantly reduced the balance of non-performing balance assets from peak levels. Over the past five and one-half years, Rhinebeck Bancorp’s balance of non-performing assets ranged from a high of $20.7 million or 3.37% of assets at yearend 2013 to a low of $9.1 million or 1.35% of assets at yearend 2015. As of June 30, 2018, non-performing assets totaled $11.9 million equal to 1.50% of assets. As shown in Exhibit I-11, non-performing assets at June 30, 2018 consisted of $10.0 million of non-accruing loans, $1.8 million of OREO and $98,000 of accruing troubled debt restructurings. Most of the reduction in the balance of non-performing assets since yearend 2013 was realized through a decline in the balance of OREO, which declined from $6.8 million at yearend 2013 to $1.8 million at June 30, 2018.

 

To track the Company’s asset quality and the adequacy of valuation allowances, the Company has established detailed asset classification policies and procedures which are consistent with regulatory guidelines. Classified assets are reviewed monthly by senior management and the Board. Pursuant to these procedures, when needed, the Company establishes additional valuation allowances to cover anticipated losses in classified or non-classified assets. As of June 30, 2018, the Company maintained loan loss allowances of $5.9 million, equal to 0.96% of total loans receivable and 59.51% of non-accruing loans.

 

Funding Composition and Strategy

 

Deposits have consistently served as the Company’s primary funding source and at June 30, 2018 deposits accounted for 93.25% of Rhinebeck Bancorp’s combined balance of deposits and borrowings. Exhibit I-12 sets forth the Company’s deposit composition for the past three and one-half years. Transaction and savings account deposits constituted 77.15% of total deposits at June 30, 2018, as compared to 72.97% of total deposits at yearend 2015. The increase in the concentration of core deposits comprising total deposits since yearend 2015 was realized through growth of core deposits and a decrease in the balance of CDs. Since yearend 2015, transaction account deposits (both interest bearing and non-interest bearing) have been the largest source of core deposit growth for the Company and transaction account deposits comprise the largest concentration of the Company’s core deposits. As of June 30, 2018, transaction account deposits totaled $265.5 million or 51.46% of core deposits.

OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

The balance of the Company’s deposits consists of CDs, which equaled 22.85% of total deposits at June 30, 2018 compared to 27.03% of total deposits at yearend 2015. Rhinebeck Bancorp’s current CD composition reflects a higher concentration of short-term CDs (maturities of less than year). The CD portfolio totaled $152.2 million at June 30, 2018 and $105.9 million or 65.60% of the CDs were scheduled to mature in less than one year. Exhibit I-13 sets forth the maturity schedule of the Company’s CDs as of June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, jumbo CDs (CD accounts with balances of $100,000 or more) amounted to $80.6 million or 52.96% of total CDs.

 

Borrowings serve as an alternative funding source for the Company to facilitate management of funding costs and interest rate risk Additionally, the Company issued subordinated debt, in which most of the funds were down streamed into Rhinebeck Bank to increase regulatory capital. Borrowings totaled $48.2 million at June 30, 2018 and consisted of $43.0 million of FHLB advances and $5.2 million of subordinated debt. At June 30, 2018, the FHLB advances had a weighted average interest rate of 2.54% and the rate on the subordinated debt equaled 4.33% (3-month LIBOR plus 2.00%). The subordinated debentures mature on May 23, 2035. Exhibit I-14 provides further detail of the Company’s borrowings activities during the past three and one-half years.

 

Subsidiary Activities

 

Rhinebeck Bancorp, MHC currently has one wholly-owned subsidiary, RSB Capital Trust I (the “Trust”). In 2005, the Trust, a business trust, issued $5.0 million of trust preferred securities in a private placement and issued 515 shares of common stock at $1,000 par value to Rhinebeck, MHC. The Trust has no independent assets or operations and was formed to issue trust preferred securities and invest the proceeds in an equivalent amount of junior subordinated debentures issued by Rhinebeck Bancorp, MHC. All of the cash proceeds from the issuance of the junior subordinated debentures by Rhinebeck Bancorp, MHC were contributed as capital to Rhinebeck Bank. All of the common stock of the Trust and the corresponding subordinated debentures are expected to be contributed to Rhinebeck Bancorp as part of the reorganization. At that point, the Trust will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rhinebeck Bancorp and the debt will become an obligation of Rhinebeck Bancorp.

Introduction

 

Rhinebeck Bancorp is headquartered in Poughkeepsie, New York and currently serves the Hudson Valley region of the New York metropolitan area through 11 full-service banking offices and an administrative office. Nine of the branches are located in Dutchess County and the remining two locations are located in the counties of Ulster and Orange. Details regarding the Company’s office properties are set forth in Exhibit II-1.

 

With operations in a major metropolitan area, the Company’s competitive environment includes a significant number of thrifts, commercial banks and other financial services companies, some of which have a regional or national presence and are larger than the Company in terms of deposits, loans, scope of operations, and number of branches. These institutions also have greater resources at their disposal than the Company. The New York MSA has a highly developed economy, with a relatively high concentration of skilled workers.

 

Future growth opportunities for Rhinebeck Bancorp depend on the future growth and stability of the local and regional economy, demographic growth trends and the nature and intensity of the competitive environment. These factors have been briefly examined to help determine the growth potential that exists for the Company, the relative economic health of the Company’s market area, and the resultant impact on value.

 

National Economic Factors

 

The future success of the Company’s operations is partially dependent upon various national and local economic trends. In assessing national economic trends over the past few quarters, manufacturing activity for January 2018 expanded at a slightly slower rate with an index reading of 59.1. Comparatively, January service sector activity hit a 10-year high with an index reading of 59.9. The U.S. economy added 200,000 jobs in January and the January unemployment rate held steady at a 17-year low of 4.1%. Housing data for January showed declines in new and existing home sales of 7.8% and 3.2%, respectively, while housing starts for January increased 9.7%. Pending home sales for January fell 4.7%, which was attributable to rising prices and lower inventory. Manufacturing activity for February accelerated with an index reading of 60.8%, while February service sector activity expanded at a slightly lower rate with an index reading of 59.5. Job growth strengthened in February as U.S. employers added 313,000 jobs in February and the February unemployment rate held steady at 4.1%. February retail sales were slightly weaker compared to the prior month with a decline of 0.1%. February housing data showed a pick-up in existing home sales of 3.0%, versus a 0.6% decline in new home sales and a 7.0% decline in housing starts. Both manufacturing and service sector activity expanded at lower rates in March, based on respective readings of 59.3 and 58.8. The U.S. economy added 103,000 jobs in March and the March unemployment rate remained unchanged at 4.1%. Following three straight months of declines, March retail sales rose 0.6% and durable-goods orders for March rose 2.6%. March housing data showed a pick-up in activity, as existing and new home sales rose 1.1% and 4.0%, respectively. Similarly, housing starts for March rose 1.9%. First quarter GDP slowed to a moderate 2.3% annual rate (subsequently revised down to 2.2%), which was better than expected.

Manufacturing and service sector activity for April 2018 decelerated, based on respective readings of 57.3 and 56.8. The U.S. economy added 164,000 jobs in April, which came in below expectations. However, the April unemployment rate fell to 3.9%, which matched a level last seen in December 2000. Retail sales for April indicated that the U.S. economy was gaining momentum, as retail sales for April rose 0.3%. Housing data for April showed a slowdown in activity, as April housing starts and new home sales declined by 3.7% and 1.5%, respectively. Manufacturing and service sector activity accelerated in May, based on respective readings of 58.7 and 58.6. The U.S. economy added 223,000 jobs in May, while the May unemployment rate fell to a post-crisis low of 3.8%. Comparatively, durable-goods orders for May declined 0.6%. Housing starts jumped 5.0% in May and May new home sales rose 6.7%, while May existing home sales dropped 0.4%. Manufacturing and service sector activity continued to accelerate in June, based on respective readings of 60.2 and 59.1. The U.S. economy added 213,000 jobs in June, but the June unemployment rate increased to 4.0% due to an increase in the rate of labor force participation. Existing home sales dipped 0.6% in June, while new home sales for June fell 5.3%. The U.S. economy grew at a 4.1% annualized rate in the second quarter, which was the strongest growth recorded since 2014. The July unemployment rate fell to 3.9%, with the U.S. economy adding 157,000 jobs in July which was less than expected.

In terms of interest rates trends over the past few quarters, long-term Treasury yields edged higher during the first half of January 2018, as the 10-year Treasury yield closed above 2.5% for the first time since March 2017 amid improving economic data and a rise in inflation expectations. The upward trend in long-term Treasury yields intensified during the second half of January, as a pick-up in global growth prompted investors to move out of safe haven types of investments and to move into stocks and other more risky investments. A strong jobs report for January showing an increase in wages raised expectations for higher inflation, which translated into further steepening of the yield curve in early-February. The 10-year Treasury yield edged above 2.9% in mid-February, as a larger than expected increase in January consumer prices bolstered the case for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates for the first time in 2018 at its March policy meeting. After approaching 3% for the first time in three years, the 10-year Treasury stabilized in the second half of February and into the first half of March. In early-March, the Federal Reserve Chairman offered an upbeat assessment of the U.S. economy, opening the door to four quarter point interest rate increases in 2018. At its March meeting the Federal Reserve voted to raise its benchmark rate by a quarter point and signaled it could pick-up the pace of future rate increases. Treasury yields declined at the close of the first quarter, as investors moved to reduce risk by selling stocks and putting cash into Treasury bonds.

 

After stabilizing around 2.8% during the first half of April 2018, long-term Treasury yields trended higher in the second half of April with the 10-year Treasury yield eclipsing 3% in late-April. The Federal Reserve elected to hold rates steady at the conclusion of its early-May meeting, which translated into the 10-year Treasury yield stabilizing around 3% during the first half of May. Data showing the U.S. economy was gaining momentum pushed Treasury yields higher going into the second half of May, which was followed by the 10-year Treasury yield dipping below 2.8% at the end of May. In advance of the Federal Reserve’s mid-June meeting, the 10-year Treasury yield trended up to approach 3% in mid-June. As expected, the Federal Reserve concluded its mid-June meeting by a raising its target rate by a quarter point and signaled it could accelerate the pace of rate increases to keep the economy on an even keel. Following the mid-June rate hike, the 10-yield Treasury yield edged lower during the balance of June.

 

The 10-year Treasury yield stabilized around 2.85% during the first half of July 2018, with June consumer price data showing U.S. inflation hitting its highest rate in more than six years. In late-July, Treasury yields surged higher as investors dumped government bonds in favor of stocks amid strong second quarter earnings results and signs of U.S. economic growth accelerating. The Federal Reserve concluded its early-August policy meeting keeping its target interest rate unchanged as expected and gave an upbeat assessment of the economy, suggesting another rate increase was likely at its next meeting. The outcome of the Federal Reserve meeting and news of rising federal budget deficits helped to push the 10-year Treasury yield up to 3.0% following the Federal Reserve meeting. As of August 3, 2018, the bond equivalent yields for U.S. Treasury bonds with terms of one and ten years equaled 2.43% and 2.95%, respectively, versus comparable year ago yields of 1.22% and 2.24%. Exhibit II-2 provides historical interest rate trends.

Based on the consensus outlook of economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal in July 2018, GDP growth was projected to come in at 3.0% in 2018 and then decrease to 2.4% in 2019. The unemployment rate was forecasted to equal 3.7% in December 2018 and decrease slightly to 3.6% in June 2019. An average of 170,000 jobs were projected to be added per month during 2018. The large majority of economists believed that the next interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve would occur in September 2018 and, on average, the economists forecasted that the 10-year Treasury yield would increase to 3.17% by the end of 2018 and increase to 3.39% by June 2019. The surveyed economists also forecasted home prices would rise 5.7% in 2018 and increase an additional 4.4% in 2019. Housing starts were forecasted to increase by 10% in 2018 and then increase another 3.0% in 2019.

 

The July 2018 mortgage finance forecast from the Mortgage Bankers Association (the “MBA”) was for 2018 existing home sales to increase by 0.2% and for 2018 new home sales to increase by 6.5%. The MBA forecast showed a 2.5% increase in the median sales price for existing homes in 2018 and a 2.8% increase in the median sales price for new homes in 2018. Total mortgage production was forecasted to increase to $1.612 trillion in 2018, compared to $1.710 trillion in 2017. The forecasted decrease in 2018 originations was based on a 3.8% increase in purchase volume, which was more than offset by a 23.3% decrease in refinancing volume. Purchase mortgage originations were forecasted to total $1.152 trillion in 2018, versus refinancing volume totaling $460 billion. Housing starts for 2018 were projected to increase by 8.9% to total 1.315 million.

Household growth rates for the primary market area counties paralleled population growth trends, with Orange County displaying the highest household growth rate and Putnam and Dutchess Counties exhibiting declines in households during the 2012 to 2018 period. Over the next five years, population and household growth rates for the primary area counties are projected to improve relative to the growth trends recorded over the past six years.

 

Income measures show that the counties of Dutchess and Orange are relatively affluent markets, with household and per capita income measures that exceed the comparable U.S. measures. Household and per capita income measures for Ulster County were slightly above the comparable U.S. measures, but were below the comparable New York measures. Orange County is projected to sustain growth in income levels that are similar to the comparable projected growth rates for New York and the U.S, while projected income growth rates for the counties of Dutchess and Ulster were slightly below the comparable projected growth rates of New York and the U.S.

 

A comparison of household income distribution measures provides another indication of the relative affluence of Dutchess and Orange Counties, which maintained a higher percentage of households with incomes above $100,000 compared to the U.S. and New York. Comparatively, Ulster County maintained similar household income distribution percentages as the U.S., with a lower percentage of households with incomes above $100,000 compared to New York. Age distribution measures for the primary market area counties were fairly similar to the comparable U.S. and New York measures.

 

Regional Economy

 

Comparative employment data shown in Table 2.2 shows that employment in education/healthcare/social services followed by services were the largest and second largest employment sectors in all three of the primary market area counties, as well as New York. Wholesale/retail trade jobs were the third largest employment sector for all three of the primary area counties, as well as for New York. Other noteworthy employment sectors for the primary market area counties included manufacturing, construction and finance/insurance/real estate jobs. Overall, the distribution of employment exhibited in the primary market area is indicative of a diverse economic environment.

Market Area Deposit Characteristics and Competition

 

The Company’s deposit base is closely tied to the economic fortunes of Dutchess, Ulster and Orange Counties and, in particular, the areas that are nearby to one of Rhinebeck Bancorp’s branches. Table 2.5 displays deposit market trends from June 30, 2012 through June 30, 2017 for all commercial bank and savings institution branches located in the market area counties and the state of New York. Consistent with the state of New York, commercial banks maintained a larger market share of deposits than savings institutions in all three counties. Overall, from June 30, 2012 to June 30, 2017, bank and thrift deposits increased in Dutchess and Orange Counties, but declined slightly in Ulster County.

 

The Company maintains its largest balance of deposits in Dutchess, where the Company maintains its largest branch presence. Based on June 30, 2017 deposit data, Rhinebeck Bancorp’s $610.6 million of deposits provided for a 9.8% market share of bank and thrift deposits in Duthcess County. The Company also held $49.6 million of deposits in Ulster County with a 1.6% market share and $3.1 million of deposits in Orange County which translated into a nominal deposit market share. During the five year period covered in Table 2.5, Rhinebeck Bancorp gained deposit market share in Ulster County and lost deposit market share in Dutchess County.

PEER GROUP ANALYSIS

III.1

  

III. PEER GROUP ANALYSIS

 

This chapter presents an analysis of Rhinebeck Bancorp’s operations versus a group of comparable savings institutions (the "Peer Group") selected from the universe of all publicly-traded savings institutions in a manner consistent with the regulatory valuation guidelines. The basis of the pro forma market valuation of Rhinebeck Bancorp is derived from the pricing ratios of the Peer Group institutions, incorporating valuation adjustments for key differences in relation to the Peer Group. Since no Peer Group can be exactly comparable to Rhinebeck Bancorp, key areas examined for differences are: financial condition; profitability, growth and viability of earnings; asset growth; primary market area; dividends; liquidity of the shares; marketing of the issue; management; and effect of government regulations and regulatory reform.

 

Peer Group Selection

 

The Peer Group selection process is governed by the general parameters set forth in the regulatory valuation guidelines. Accordingly, the Peer Group is comprised of only those publicly-traded savings institutions whose common stock is either listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ, since their stock trading activity is regularly reported and generally more frequent than non-publicly traded and closely-held institutions. Institutions that are not listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ are inappropriate, since the trading activity for thinly-traded or closely-held stocks are typically highly irregular in terms of frequency and price and thus may not be a reliable indicator of market value. We have also excluded from the Peer Group those companies under acquisition or subject to rumored acquisition and recent conversions, since their pricing ratios are subject to unusual distortion and/or have limited trading history. A recent listing of the universe of all publicly-traded savings institutions is included as Exhibit III-1.

 

Ideally, the Peer Group, which must have at least 10 members to comply with the regulatory valuation guidelines, should be comprised of publicly-traded MHCs with comparable resources, strategies and financial characteristics as Rhinebeck Bancorp. However, there are currently only eleven publicly-traded MHCs in total. Accordingly, in deriving a Peer Group comprised of institutions with relatively comparable characteristics as Rhinebeck Bancorp, the companies selected for Rhinebeck Bancorp’s Peer Group are all fully-converted companies. The valuation adjustments applied in the Chapter IV analysis will take into consideration differences between the Company’s MHC form of ownership relative to the fully-converted Peer Group companies. Also included in Chapter IV is a pricing analysis of the publicly-traded MHCs on a fully-converted basis.

PEER GROUP ANALYSIS

III.2

 

From the universe of publicly-traded thrifts, we selected ten institutions with characteristics similar to those of Rhinebeck Bancorp. In the selection process, we applied two “screens” to the universe of all public companies that were eligible for consideration:

 

oScreen #1 Mid-Atlantic institutions with assets between $500 million and $2.0 billion, tangible equity-to-assets ratios of greater than 7.00% and positive reported and core earnings. Seven companies met the criteria for Screen #1 and all seven were included in the Peer Group: Elmira Savings Bank of New York, ESSA Bancorp, Inc. of Pennsylvania, MSB Financial Corp. of New Jersey, PCSB Financial Corporation of New York; Prudential Bancorp, Inc. of Pennsylvania, Severn Bancorp, Inc. of Maryland and Standard AVB Financial Corp. of Pennsylvania. Exhibit III-2 provides financial and public market pricing characteristics of all publicly-traded Mid-Atlantic thrifts.

 

oScreen #2 New England institutions with assets between $500 million and 2.0 billion, tangible equity-to-assets ratios of greater than 7.00% and positive reported and core earnings. Three companies met the criteria for Screen #2 and all three were included in the Peer Group: PB Bancorp, Inc. of Connecticut, SI Financial Group, Inc. of Connecticut and Wellesley Bancorp, Inc. of Massachusetts. Exhibit III-3 provides financial and public market pricing characteristics of all publicly-traded New England thrifts.

 

Table 3.1 shows the general characteristics of each of the ten Peer Group companies and Exhibit III-4 provides summary demographic and deposit market share data for the primary market areas served by each of the Peer Group companies. While there are expectedly some differences between the Peer Group companies and Rhinebeck Bancorp, Inc., we believe that the Peer Group companies, on average, provide a good basis for valuation subject to valuation adjustments. The following sections present a comparison of Rhinebeck Bancorp’s financial condition, income and expense trends, loan composition, interest rate risk and credit risk versus the Peer Group as of the most recent publicly available date. Comparative data for all publicly-traded thrifts, and publicly-traded New York thrifts have been included in the Chapter III tables as well.

 

In addition to the selection criteria used to identify the Peer Group companies, a summary description of the key comparable characteristics of each of the Peer Group companies relative to Rhinebeck Bancorp’s characteristics is detailed below.

In aggregate, the Peer Group companies maintained a similar level of tangible equity as the industry average (11.34% of assets versus 11.47% for all public companies), generated slightly lower earnings as a percent of average assets (0.60% core ROAA versus 0.74% for all public companies), and earned a lower ROE (4.99% core ROE versus 6.32% for all public companies). Overall, the Peer Group's average P/TB ratio and average core P/E multiple were lower and higher compared to the respective averages for all publicly-traded thrifts.

Ideally, the Peer Group companies would be comparable to Rhinebeck Bancorp in terms of all of the selection criteria, but the universe of publicly-traded thrifts does not provide for an appropriate number of such companies. However, in general, the companies selected for the Peer Group were fairly comparable to Rhinebeck Bancorp, as will be highlighted in the following comparative analysis. Comparative data for all publicly-traded thrifts and publicly-traded New York thrifts have been included in the Chapter III tables as well.

 

Financial Condition

 

Table 3.2 shows comparative balance sheet measures for Rhinebeck Bancorp and the Peer Group, reflecting the expected similarities and some differences given the selection procedures outlined above. The Company’s and the Peer Group's ratios reflect balances as of June 30, 2018, unless otherwise indicated for the Peer Group companies. Rhinebeck Bancorp’s equity-to-assets ratio of 7.03% was lower than the Peer Group's average net worth ratio of 12.25%. With the infusion of the net proceeds, the Company’s pro forma equity-to-assets ratio will be more comparable to the Peer Group’s equity-to-assets ratio. Tangible equity-to-assets ratios for the Company and the Peer Group equaled 6.81% and 11.34%, respectively. The increase in Rhinebeck Bancorp’s pro forma capital position will be favorable from a risk perspective and in terms of future earnings potential that could be realized through leverage and lower funding costs. At the same time, the Company’s higher pro forma capitalization will initially depress return on equity. Both Rhinebeck Bancorp’s and the Peer Group's capital ratios reflected capital surpluses with respect to the regulatory capital requirements.

PEER GROUP ANALYSIS

III.7

 

The interest-earning asset compositions for the Company and the Peer Group were somewhat similar, with loans constituting the bulk of interest-earning assets for both Rhinebeck Bancorp and the Peer Group. The Company’s loans-to-assets ratio of 78.65% exceeded the comparable Peer Group ratio of 74.36%. Comparatively, the Company’s cash and investments-to-assets ratio of 15.16% was lower than the comparable Peer Group ratio of 20.24%. Overall, Rhinebeck Bancorp's interest-earning assets amounted to 93.81% of assets, which was slightly less than the comparable Peer Group ratio of 94.60%. The Peer Group’s non-interest earning assets included BOLI equal to 1.74% of assets and goodwill/intangibles equal to 0.91% of assets, while the Company maintained BOLI equal to 2.25% of assets and goodwill/intangibles equal to 0.22% of assets.

 

Rhinebeck Bancorp’s funding liabilities reflected a funding strategy that was somewhat similar to that of the Peer Group's funding composition. The Company’s deposits equaled 84.33% of assets, which was above the Peer Group’s ratio of 74.81%. Comparatively, the Company maintained a lower level of borrowings to fund assets, as indicated by borrowings-to-assets ratios of 6.09% and 12.02% for Rhinebeck Bancorp and the Peer Group, respectively. Total interest-bearing liabilities maintained by the Company and the Peer Group, as a percent of assets, equaled 90.42% and 86.83%, respectively.

 

A key measure of balance sheet strength for a thrift institution is its interest-earnings assets/interest-bearing liabilities (“IEA/IBL”) ratio. Presently, the Company’s IEA/IBL ratio is lower than the Peer Group’s ratio, based on IEA/IBL ratios of 103.75% and 108.95%, respectively. The additional capital realized from stock proceeds should serve to provide Rhinebeck Bancorp with an IEA/IBL ratio that is more comparable to the Peer Group’s ratio, as the increase in capital provided by the infusion of stock proceeds will serve to lower the level of interest-bearing liabilities funding assets and will be primarily deployed into interest-earning assets.

 

The growth rate section of Table 3.2 shows annual growth rates for key balance sheet items. Rhinebeck Bancorp’s growth rates are based on annualized growth for the eighteen months ended June 30, 2018, while the Peer Group’s growth rates are based on growth for the twelve months ended June 30, 2018 or the most recent twelve month period available. Rhinebeck Bancorp recorded a 6.09% increase in assets, versus asset growth of 6.56% recorded by the Peer Group. Asset growth for Rhinebeck Bancorp was driven by a 13.52% increase in loans, which was in part funded by a 16.72% reduction in cash and investments. Comparatively, asset growth for the Peer Group was driven by a 9.30% increase in loans and was supplemented with a 7.93% increase in cash and investments.

Asset growth for Rhinebeck Bancorp was funded by a 2.73% increase in deposits and a 111.19% increase in borrowings. Asset growth for the Peer Group was funded through deposit growth of 7.70% and a 70.91% increase in borrowings. The Company’s tangible capital growth rate equaled 6.44%, which was attributable to retention of earnings. Comparatively, the Peer Group’s tangible capital growth rate equaled 22.63%. The Peer Group’s comparatively higher tangible capital growth rate includes the increase in equity realized by PCSB Corporation from its standard conversion stock offering, which was completed in April 2017. The Company’s post-conversion capital growth rate will initially be constrained by maintenance of a higher pro forma capital position. Additionally, implementation of any stock repurchases and dividend payments, pursuant to regulatory limitations and guidelines, could also slow the Company’s capital growth rate in the longer term following the stock offering.

 

Income and Expense Components

 

Table 3.3 displays statements of operations for the Company and the Peer Group. The Company’s and the Peer Group’s ratios are based on earnings for the twelve months ended June 30, 2018 or the most recent twelve month period available for the Peer Group companies. Rhinebeck Bancorp and the Peer Group reported net income to average assets ratios of 0.35% and 0.59%, respectively. The Peer Group’s higher return was realized through lower ratios for loan loss provisions and operating expenses and loan loss provisions, which were partially offset by the Company’s higher ratios for net interest income, non-interest operating income and net gains.

 

The Company’s higher net interest income to average assets ratio was realized through both a higher interest income ratio and a lower interest expense ratio. The Company’s higher interest income ratio was supported by maintaining a higher overall yield earned on interest-earning assets (4.31% versus 3.63% for the Peer Group). Comparatively, the Company’s lower interest expense ratio was achieved despite maintaining a higher cost of funds (0.74% versus 0.66% for the Peer Group), as the Company maintains a relatively high concentration of non-interest-bearing deposits in its deposit base, which are not included in the calculation of the yield-cost spread. Overall, Rhinebeck Bancorp and the Peer Group reported net interest income to average assets ratios of 3.57% and 2.97%, respectively.

In another key area of core earnings strength, the Company maintained a higher level of operating expenses than the Peer Group. For the period covered in Table 3.3, the Company and the Peer Group reported operating expense to average assets ratios of 3.37% and 2.33%, respectively. The Company’s higher operating expense ratio is indicative of its greater degree of diversification of products and services which generate sources of non-interest operating, including largely off-balance sheet activities related to its mortgage banking operation and investment advisory services. Consistent with the Company’s higher operating expense ratio, Rhinebeck Bancorp maintained a comparatively higher number of employees relative to its asset size. Assets per full time equivalent employee equaled $5.0 million for the Company, versus a comparable measure of $6.3 million for the Peer Group. On a post-offering basis, the Company’s operating expenses can be expected to increase with the addition of stock benefit plans and certain expenses that result from being a publicly-traded company, with such expenses already impacting the Peer Group's operating expenses. At the same time, Rhinebeck Bancorp’s capacity to leverage operating expenses will be more comparable to the Peer Group’s leverage capacity following the increase in capital realized from the infusion of net stock proceeds.

 

When viewed together net interest income and operating expenses provide considerable insight into a thrift's earnings strength, since those sources of income and expenses are typically the most prominent components of earnings and are generally more predictable than losses and gains realized from the sale of assets or other non-recurring activities. In this regard, as measured by their expense coverage ratios (net interest income divided by operating expenses), the Company’s earnings were less favorable than the Peer Group’s. Expense coverage ratios for Rhinebeck Bancorp and the Peer Group equaled 1.03x and 1.24x, respectively.

 

Sources of non-interest operating income provided a larger contribution to the Company’s earnings, with such income amounting to 0.74% and 0.32% of Rhinebeck Bancorp’s and the Peer Group’s average assets, respectively. Taking non-interest operating income into account in comparing the Company’s and the Peer Group's earnings, Rhinebeck Bancorp’s efficiency ratio (operating expenses, as a percent of the sum of non-interest operating income and net interest income) of 80.05% was less favorable than the Peer Group's efficiency ratio of 72.36%.

Loan loss provisions had a larger impact on the Company’s earnings, with loan loss provisions established by the Company equaling 0.20% of average assets. Comparatively, the Peer Group recorded loan loss provisions equal to 0.10% of average assets.

 

Net non-operating gains and losses equaled net gains of 0.14% of average assets for the Company and no impact on the Peer Group’s earnings. Typically, gains and losses generated from the sale of assets and other non-operating activities are viewed as earnings with a relatively high degree of volatility, particularly to the extent that such gains and losses result from the sale of investments or other assets that are not considered to be part of an institution’s core operations. Extraordinary items were not a factor in either the Company’s or the Peer Group's earnings.

 

Taxes had a more significant impact on the Company’s earnings, as the Company and the Peer Group posted effective tax rates of 55.00% and 37.72%, respectively. As indicated in the prospectus, the Company’s effective marginal tax rate is equal to 27.00%.

 

Loan Composition

 

Table 3.4 presents data related to the Company’s and the Peer Group’s loan portfolio compositions (including the investment in mortgage-backed securities). The Company’s loan portfolio composition reflected a lower combined concentration of 1-4 family permanent mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities in comparison to the Peer Group (15.39% of assets versus 45.47% for the Peer Group), as the Peer Group’s higher concentration of 1-4 family loans more than offset the Company’s slightly higher concentration of mortgage-backed securities. Loan servicing intangibles constituted a more significant balance sheet item for the Company ($2.3 million versus $377,000 for the Peer Group).

 

Overall, diversification into higher risk and higher yielding types of lending was more significant for the Company, which was primarily attributable to the Company’s indirect automobile loan portfolio and significantly higher concentration of consumer loans (32.97% of assets versus 1.67% for the Peer Group). Commercial real estate loans constituted the second most significant type of lending diversification for the Company (25.26% of assets versus 19.77% for the Peer Group). The Company also maintained a higher concentration of commercial business loans, while the Peer Group maintained higher concentrations of construction/land loans and multi-family loans. In total, construction/land, commercial real estate, multi-family, commercial business and consumer loans comprised 71.04% and 37.83% of the Company’s and the Peer Group’s assets, respectively. Overall, the Company’s asset composition provided for a higher weighted assets-to-assets ratio of 84.95%, versus a comparable Peer Group ratio of 71.76%.

PEER GROUP ANALYSIS

III.13

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

Table 3.5 reflects various key ratios highlighting the relative interest rate risk exposure of the Company versus the Peer Group. In terms of balance sheet composition, Rhinebeck Bancorp’s interest rate risk characteristics were considered to be less favorable than the comparable measures for the Peer Group. Most notably, the Company’s tangible equity-to-assets ratio and IEA/IBL ratio were lower than the comparable Peer Group ratios. Additionally, the Company maintained a slightly higher ratio of non-interest earning assets as a percent of assets. On a pro forma basis, the infusion of stock proceeds should serve to provide the Company with more comparable balance sheet interest rate risk characteristics as maintained by the Peer Group, as the result of the increases that will be realized in Company equity-to-assets and IEA/IBL ratios following the infusion of stock proceeds.

 

To analyze interest rate risk associated with the net interest margin, we reviewed quarterly changes in net interest income as a percent of average assets for Rhinebeck Bancorp and the Peer Group. In general, the comparative fluctuations in the Company’s and the Peer Group’s net interest income ratios implied that a slightly greater degree of interest rate risk was associated with the Company’s net interest margin, based on the interest rate environment that prevailed during the period covered in Table 3.5. The stability of the Company’s net interest margin should be enhanced by the infusion of stock proceeds, as interest rate sensitive liabilities will be funding a lower portion of Rhinebeck Bancorp’s assets and the proceeds will be substantially deployed into interest-earning assets.

 

Credit Risk

 

Overall, based on a comparison of credit risk measures, the Company’s and the Peer Group’s implied credit risk exposure was viewed to be fairly similar. As shown in Table 3.6, the Company’s ratios for non-performing/assets and non-performing loans/loans equaled 1.50% and 1.62%, respectively, versus comparable measures of 1.23% and 1.56% for the Peer Group. It should be noted that the measures for non-performing assets and non-performing loans in Table 3.6 include accruing loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings. The Company’s and the Peer Group’s loss reserves as a percent of non-performing loans equaled 58.93% and 113.74%, respectively. Loss reserves maintained as percent of loans receivable equaled 0.96% for the Company, versus 0.95% for the Peer Group. Net loan charge-offs were a larger factor for the Company, as net loan charge-offs for the Company and the Peer Group equaled 0.17% and 0.03% of loans, respectively.

PEER GROUP ANALYSIS

III.16

 

Summary

Based on the above analysis, RP Financial concluded that the Peer Group forms a reasonable basis for determining the pro forma market value of the Company. Such general characteristics as asset size, capital position, interest-earning asset composition, funding composition, core earnings measures, loan composition, credit quality and exposure to interest rate risk all tend to support the reasonability of the Peer Group from a financial standpoint. Those areas where differences exist will be addressed in the form of valuation adjustments to the extent necessary.

VALUATION ANALYSIS

IV.1

 

IV. VALUATION ANALYSIS

 

Introduction

 

This chapter presents the valuation analysis and methodology prepared pursuant to the regulatory guidelines, and valuation adjustments and assumptions used to determine the estimated pro forma market value of the common stock to be issued in conjunction with the Company’s minority stock offering.

 

Appraisal Guidelines

 

The federal regulatory appraisal guidelines required by the OCC, FRB, the FDIC and state banking agencies specify the pro forma market value methodology for estimating the pro forma market value of an institution. Pursuant to this methodology: (1) a peer group of comparable publicly-traded institutions is selected; (2) a financial and operational comparison of the subject company to the peer group is conducted to discern key differences; and (3) a valuation analysis in which the pro forma market value of the subject company is determined based on the market pricing of the peer group as of the date of valuation, incorporating valuation adjustments for key differences. In addition, the pricing characteristics of recent conversions, both at conversion and in the aftermarket, must be considered. Given the unique differences in the pricing characteristics of publicly-traded MHCs relative to fully-converted thrift stocks, we have also reviewed the pricing characteristics of publicly-traded MHCs on a fully-converted basis.

 

RP Financial Approach to the Valuation

 

The valuation analysis herein complies with such regulatory approval guidelines. Accordingly, the valuation incorporates a detailed analysis based on the Peer Group, discussed in Chapter III, which constitutes "fundamental analysis" techniques. Additionally, the valuation incorporates a "technical analysis" of recently completed conversions, including closing pricing and aftermarket trading of such offerings. It should be noted that these valuation analyses cannot possibly fully account for all the market forces which impact trading activity and pricing characteristics of a stock on a given day.

 

 
RP® Financial, LC. 

VALUATION ANALYSIS

IV.2

 

The pro forma market value determined herein is a preliminary value for the Company’s to-be-issued stock. Throughout the stock issuance process, RP Financial will: (1) review changes in the Company’s operations and financial condition; (2) monitor the Company’s operations and financial condition relative to the Peer Group to identify any fundamental changes; (3) monitor the external factors affecting value including, but not limited to, local and national economic conditions, interest rates and the stock market environment, including the market for thrift stocks; and (4) monitor pending conversion offerings, both regionally and nationally. If material changes should occur prior to the close of the offering, RP Financial will evaluate if updated valuation reports should be prepared reflecting such changes and their related impact on value, if any. RP Financial will also prepare a final valuation update at the closing of the offering to determine if the prepared valuation analysis and resulting range of value continues to be appropriate.

 

The appraised value determined herein is based on the current market and operating environment for the Company and for all thrifts. Subsequent changes in the local and national economy, the legislative and regulatory environment, the stock market, interest rates, and other external forces (such as natural disasters or major world events), which may occur from time to time (often with great unpredictability) may materially impact the market value of all thrift stocks, including Rhinebeck Bancorp’s value, the market value of the stocks of public MHC institutions, or Rhinebeck Bancorp’s value alone. To the extent a change in factors impacting the Company’s value can be reasonably anticipated and/or quantified, RP Financial has incorporated the estimated impact into its analysis.

 

Valuation Analysis

 

A fundamental analysis discussing similarities and differences relative to the Peer Group was presented in Chapter III. The following sections summarize the key differences between the Company and the Peer Group and how those differences affect the pro forma valuation. Emphasis is placed on the specific strengths and weaknesses of the Company relative to the Peer Group in such key areas as financial condition, profitability, growth and viability of earnings, asset growth, primary market area, dividends, liquidity of the shares, marketing of the issue, management, and the effect of government regulations and/or regulatory reform. We have also considered the market for thrift stocks, in particular new issues, to assess the impact on value of Rhinebeck Bancorp coming to market at this time.

VALUATION ANALYSIS

IV.3

 

1.Financial Condition

 

The financial condition of an institution is an important determinant in pro forma market value because investors typically look to such factors as liquidity, capital, asset composition and quality, and funding sources in assessing investment attractiveness. The similarities and differences in the Company’s and the Peer Group's financial strengths are noted as follows:

 

oOverall A/L Composition. Loans funded by retail deposits were the primary components of both Rhinebeck Bancorp’s and the Peer Group's balance sheets. In comparison to the Peer Group, the Company’s interest-earning asset composition exhibited a slightly higher concentration of loans and a greater degree of diversification into higher risk types of loans. Overall, the Company’s asset composition provided for a higher yield earned on interest-earning assets and a higher risk weighted assets-to-assets ratio in comparison to the Peer Group’s ratios. Rhinebeck Bancorp’s funding composition reflected a higher level of deposits and a lower level of borrowings in comparison to the Peer Group’s ratios, which provided the Company with a slightly higher cost of funds than maintained by the Peer Group. Overall, as a percent of assets, the Company maintained a slightly lower level of interest-earning assets and a higher level of interest-bearing liabilities relative to the comparable ratios for the Peer Group, which translated into a lower IEA/IBL ratio for the Company. After factoring in the impact of the net stock proceeds, the Company’s IEA/IBL ratio will be more comparable to the Peer Group’s IEA/IBL ratio. On balance, RP Financial concluded that asset/liability composition was a neutral factor in our adjustment for financial condition.

 

oCredit Quality. The Company’s ratios for non-performing assets as a percent of assets and non-performing loans as a percent of loans were slightly higher than the comparable ratios for the Peer Group. In comparison to the Peer Group, the Company maintained lower loss reserves as a percent of non-performing loans and a similar level of loss reserves as a percent of loans. Net loan charge-offs as a percent of loans were higher for the Company. The Company’s risk weighted assets-to-assets ratio was somewhat higher than the Peer Group’s ratio. Overall, RP Financial concluded that credit quality was a slightly negative factor in our adjustment for financial condition.

 

oBalance Sheet Liquidity. The Company maintained a lower level of cash and investment securities than the Peer Group (15.16% of assets versus 20.24% for the Peer Group). Following the infusion of stock proceeds, the Company’s cash and investments ratio is expected to increase as a portion of the net proceeds will initially be held in short-term liquid funds. The Company’s future borrowing capacity was considered to be slightly greater than the Peer Group’s borrowing capacity, based on the lower level of borrowings that is currently funding the Company’s assets. Overall, RP Financial concluded that balance sheet liquidity was a neutral factor in our adjustment for financial condition.

VALUATION ANALYSIS

oFunding Liabilities. The Company’s interest-bearing funding composition reflected a slightly higher concentration of deposits and a lower concentration of borrowings relative to the comparable Peer Group ratios, which translated into a slightly higher cost of funds for the Company. The Company’s ratio of total interest-bearing liabilities as a percent of assets was above the Peer Group’s ratio. Following the stock offering, the increase in the Company’s capital position will reduce the level of interest-bearing liabilities funding the Company’s assets to a level that is more comparable to the Peer Group’s ratio of interest-bearing liabilities as a percent of assets. Overall, RP Financial concluded that funding liabilities were a neutral factor in our adjustment for financial condition.

 

oCapital. The Peer Group currently operates with a higher equity-to-assets ratio than the Company. Following the stock offering, Rhinebeck Bancorp’s pro forma capital position will be more comparable to the Peer Group's equity-to-assets ratio. On balance, RP Financial concluded that capital strength was a neutral factor in our adjustment for financial condition.

 

On balance, Rhinebeck Bancorp’s balance sheet strength was considered to be comparable to the Peer Group’s balance sheet strength and, thus, no adjustment was applied for the Company’s financial condition.

 

2.Profitability, Growth and Viability of Earnings

 

Earnings are a key factor in determining pro forma market value, as the level and risk characteristics of an institution's earnings stream and prospects to generate future earnings heavily influence the multiple that the investment community will pay for earnings. The major factors considered in the valuation are described below.

 

oReported Earnings. The Company’s reported earnings were lower than the Peer Group’s on a ROAA basis (0.35% of average assets versus 0.59% for the Peer Group). The Peer Group maintained more favorable ratios for loan loss provisions and operating expenses, which were partially offset by the Company’s more favorable ratios for net interest income, non-interest operating income and net gains. Reinvestment of stock proceeds into interest-earning assets will serve to increase the Company’s earnings, with the benefit of reinvesting proceeds expected to be somewhat offset by higher operating expenses associated with operating as a publicly-traded company and the implementation of stock benefit plans. Overall, the Company’s reported earnings were considered to be less favorable than the Peer Group’s reported earnings and, thus, RP Financial concluded that this was a slightly negative factor in our adjustment for profitability, growth and viability of earnings.

VALUATION ANALYSIS

IV.5

 

oCore Earnings. Net interest income, operating expenses, non-interest operating income and loan loss provisions were reviewed in assessing the relative strengths and weaknesses of the Company’s and the Peer Group’s core earnings. In these measures, the Company operated with a higher net interest income ratio, a higher operating expense ratio and a higher level of non-interest operating income. The Company’s higher net interest income and operating expense ratios translated into a lower expense coverage ratio in comparison to the Peer Group’s ratio (equal to 1.03x versus 1.24x for the Peer Group). Similarly, the Company’s efficiency ratio of 80.05% was less favorable than the Peer Group’s efficiency ratio of 72.36%. Loan loss provisions had a larger impact on the Company’s earnings. Overall, these measures, as well as the expected earnings benefits the Company should realize from the redeployment of stock proceeds into interest-earning assets and leveraging of post-offering capital, which will be somewhat negated by expenses associated with the stock benefit plans and operating as a publicly-traded company, indicate that the Company’s pro forma core earnings will remain less favorable than the Peer Group’s core earnings. Therefore, RP Financial concluded that this was a slightly negative factor in our adjustment for profitability, growth and viability of earnings.

 

oInterest Rate Risk. Quarterly changes in the Company’s and the Peer Group's net interest income to average assets ratios indicated that a slightly greater degree of volatility was associated with the Company’s net interest margin. Other measures of interest rate risk, such as capital levels, IEA/IBL ratios and levels of non-interest earning assets were more favorable for the Peer Group. On a pro forma basis, the infusion of stock proceeds can be expected to provide the Company with equity-to-assets and IEA/ILB ratios that are more comparable to the Peer Group’s ratios, as well as enhance the stability of the Company’s net interest margin. Accordingly, on balance, interest rate risk was a neutral factor in our adjustment for profitability, growth and viability of earnings.

 

oCredit Risk. Loan loss provisions were a larger factor in the Company’s earnings (0.20% of average assets versus 0.10% of average assets for the Peer Group). In terms of future exposure to credit quality related losses, the Company maintained a higher concentration of assets in loans and the Company’s loan composition reflected a greater degree of diversification into higher risk types of loans. The Company’s credit quality measures generally implied a slightly greater degree of credit risk exposure relative to the comparable credit quality measures indicated for the Peer Group. Overall, RP Financial concluded that credit risk was a slightly negative factor in our adjustment for profitability, growth and viability of earnings.

 

oEarnings Growth Potential. Several factors were considered in assessing earnings growth potential. First, the Company currently maintains a higher interest rate spread than the Peer Group, which would tend to facilitate a continuation of a higher net interest margin for the Company goring forward. Second, the infusion of stock proceeds will provide the Company with comparable growth potential through leverage as currently maintained by the Peer Group. Third, the Company’s higher ratios of non-interest operating income and operating expenses were viewed as a respective advantage and disadvantage to sustain earnings growth during periods when net interest margins come under pressure as the result of adverse changes in interest rates. Overall, earnings growth potential was considered to be a neutral factor in our adjustment for profitability, growth and viability of earnings.

 

oReturn on Equity. Currently, the Company’s core ROE is lower than the Peer Group’s core ROE. As the result of the increase in capital that will be realized from the infusion of net stock proceeds into the Company’s equity, the Company’s pro forma return equity on a core earnings basis will be lower than the Peer Group’s core ROE. Accordingly, this was a slightly negative factor in the adjustment for profitability, growth and viability of earnings.

On balance, Rhinebeck Bancorp’s pro forma earnings strength was considered to be less favorable than the Peer Group’s and, thus, a slight downward adjustment was applied for profitability, growth and viability of earnings.

Comparative asset growth rates for the Company and the Peer Group showed a 6.09% increase in the Company’s assets, versus a 6.56% increase in the Peer Group’s assets. Asset growth for the Company was sustained by a 13.52% increase in loans, which was partially funded with cash and investments. The Peer Group’s asset growth was primarily sustained by a 9.30% increase in loans and also included an increase in cash and investments. Overall, the Company’s recent asset growth trends would tend to be viewed as comparable to slightly more favorable relative to the Peer Group’s asset growth trends in terms of supporting future earnings growth. On a pro forma basis, the Company’s tangible equity-to-assets ratio will be more comparable to the Peer Group's tangible equity-to-assets ratio, providing the Company with similar leverage capacity as maintained by the Peer Group. On balance, no adjustment was applied for asset growth.

 

4.Primary Market Area

 

The general condition of an institution’s market area has an impact on value, as future success is in part dependent upon opportunities for profitable activities in the local market served. Rhinebeck Bancorp serves the Hudson Valley region of the New York metropolitan area through the headquarters office and 11 full service branches. Operating in markets with small and mid-sized population bases, which have experienced limited growth or in some cases shrinking populations somewhat limits growth opportunities and such growth must be achieved in a highly competitive market environment. The Company competes against significantly larger institutions that provide a larger array of services and have significantly larger branch networks than maintained by Rhinebeck Bancorp. The Company maintains a relatively high market share of deposits in Dutchess County, where its main office and the majority of its branches are located, and relatively low deposit market shares in Ulster County and Orange County.

VALUATION ANALYSIS

IV.7

 

The Peer Group companies generally operate in markets with larger populations compared to Dutchess County. Population growth for the primary market area counties served by the Peer Group companies reflected a range of growth rates, but, overall, population growth in the markets served by the Peer Group companies showed stronger growth compared to Dutchess County which has had a slight decline in population over the past five years. Dutchess County has a lower per capita income compared to the primary market area counties served by Peer Group companies, which is indicative of the more rural nature of the Company’s market area. On average, the Peer Group’s primary market area counties were more affluent markets within their respective states compared to Dutchess County’s per capita income as a percent of New York’s per capita income (107.5% for the Peer Group versus 101.4% for Dutchess County). The respective average and median deposit market shares maintained by the Peer Group companies were above and below the Company’s market share of deposits in Dutchess County. Overall, the degree of competition faced by the Peer Group companies was viewed to be comparable as faced by the Company in Dutchess County, while the growth potential in the markets served by the Peer Group companies was for the most part viewed to be more favorable relative to the Company’s primary market area. Summary demographic and deposit market share data for the Company and the Peer Group companies is provided in Exhibit III-4. As shown in Table 4.1, the average unemployment rate for the primary market area counties served by the Peer Group companies was above the unemployment rate reflected for Dutchess County. On balance, we concluded that a slight downward adjustment was appropriate for the Company’s market area.

5.Dividends

 

At this time the Company has not established a dividend policy. Future declarations of dividends by the Board of Directors will depend upon a number of factors, including investment opportunities, growth objectives, financial condition, profitability, tax considerations, minimum capital requirements, regulatory limitations, stock market characteristics and general economic conditions.

 

Nine out of the ten Peer Group companies pay regular cash dividends, with implied dividend yields ranging from 0.60% to 4.48%. The average dividend yield on the stocks of the Peer Group institutions equaled 1.72% as of August 3, 2018. Comparatively, as of August 3, 2017, the average dividend yield on the stocks of all fully-converted publicly-traded thrifts equaled 1.92%.

 

Our valuation adjustment for dividends for Rhinebeck Bancorp also considered the regulatory policy with regard to payment of dividends to the MHC. Under current FRB policy, any dividends declared by the Company would be required to be paid to all shareholders. Accordingly, dividends paid by the Company would increase the amount of assets held by the MHC, after adjusting for applicable income taxes, and, thereby, increase the implied dilution incurred by the minority shareholders in a second-step conversion pursuant to the calculation to account for net assets held by the MHC in a second-step offering.

VALUATION ANALYSIS

IV.9

 

Overall, while the Company has not established a definitive dividend policy prior to its stock offering, the Company’s capacity to pay a dividend comparable to the Peer Group’s average dividend yield is viewed as not as strong based on the Company’s pro forma earnings and capitalization. Furthermore, dividend payments retained by the MHC would increase the implied dilution to minority shareholders in a second-step offering. On balance, we concluded that a slight downward adjustment was warranted for purposes of the Company’s dividend policy.

 

6.Liquidity of the Shares

 

The Peer Group is by definition composed of companies that are traded in the public markets. All ten of the Peer Group members trade on the NASDAQ system. Typically, the number of shares outstanding and market capitalization provides an indication of how much liquidity there will be in a particular stock. The market capitalization of the Peer Group companies ranged from $71.9 million to $335.3 million as of August 3, 2018, with average and median market values of $143.1 million and $124.8 million, respectively. The shares issued and outstanding of the Peer Group companies ranged from 2.5 million to 16.8 million, with average and median shares outstanding of 8.3 million and 8.1 million, respectively. The Company’s stock offering is expected to have a pro forma public market value that will be less than the lower end of the Peer Group’s range of market values and will be in the lower end of the range of shares outstanding reported for the Peer Group companies. Like all of the Peer Group companies, the Company’s stock will be quoted on the NASDAQ following the stock offering. Overall, we anticipate that the Bank’s public stock will have a less liquid trading market compared to the stocks of the Peer Group companies and, therefore, concluded a slight downward adjustment was necessary for this factor.

 

7.Marketing of the Issue

 

Three separate markets exist for thrift stocks: (1) the after-market for public companies, both fully-converted stock companies and MHCs, in which trading activity is regular and investment decisions are made based upon financial condition, earnings, capital, ROE, dividends and future prospects; (2) the new issue market in which converting thrifts are evaluated on the basis of the same factors but on a pro forma basis without the benefit of prior operations as a publicly-held company and stock trading history; and (3) the thrift acquisition market. All three of these markets were considered in the valuation of the Company’s to-be-issued stock.

A.The Public Market

 

The value of publicly-traded thrift stocks is easily measurable, and is tracked by most investment houses and related organizations. Exhibit IV-1 provides pricing and financial data on all publicly-traded thrifts. In general, thrift stock values react to market stimuli such as interest rates, inflation, perceived industry health, projected rates of economic growth, regulatory issues and stock market conditions in general. Exhibit IV-2 displays historical stock market trends for various indices and includes historical stock price index values for thrifts and commercial banks. Exhibit IV-3 displays various stock price indices as of August 3, 2018.

 

In terms of assessing general stock market conditions, the overall stock market has trended higher in recent quarters. Signs of accelerating economic growth helped to sustain a broader stock market rally at the start of 2018, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average (“DJIA”) surged to close above 25000. Energy and bank shares led the stock market higher heading into mid-January, with higher oil prices and an improved earnings outlook contributing to the gains. The DJIA closed above 26000 for the first time heading into the second half of January 2018, in which the new 1,000 point milestone was achieved in just eight trading days after topping 25000. The upward surge in the U.S. stock indexes continued into late-January, as equities were lifted to fresh record highs by some strong fourth quarter earnings reports, data showing strong economic growth and a deal by Congress to end the federal government shutdown. Stocks reversed course at end of January, amid worries about rising bond yields, new competition in the healthcare sector and rising oil production. Stocks plunged in early-February 2018, as the January jobs report which showed a pick-up in wages raised expectations that rising inflation would accelerate the pace of the Federal Reserve increasing interest rates. In the second week of February, the DJIA and S&P 500 entered correction territory with declines of over 10%. Stocks rebounded sharply higher going into mid-February, as the major U.S. indexes posted their largest five-day percentage increases since December 2011. Volatility continued to prevail in the broader stock market during the second half of February, with the DJIA closing down for the month of February and, thereby, ending a 10-month winning streak. The downturn in the broader stock market sharpened at the start of March, as President Trump’s pledge to impose stiff tariffs on steel and aluminum sparked worries of a global trade war. An upbeat jobs report for February and diminished worries over a trade war fueled a stock market rally in the second week of March, while industrial and material stocks led the market lower going into mid-March on new signs that protectionist trade policies could spread. The DJIA swung higher in mid-March, which was in part attributable to bargain hunting. Technology shares led the stock market lower to close out the first quarter of 2018, based on concerns that technology companies could be facing an increase in regulatory oversight.

VALUATION ANALYSIS

Stock market volatility prevailed at start of the second quarter of 2018, as investor uncertainty over potential trade wars contributed to day-to-day swings in the broader stock market. Mixed first quarter earnings reports provided for a continuation of choppy stock market conditions through the end of April. Stocks retreated following the conclusion of the Federal Reserve meeting in early-May, as the Federal Reserve reiterated its plan to continue to raise interest rates gradually. However, stocks rebounded sharply higher with release of the April employment report, as weaker than expected wage growth calmed inflation fears. The upward trend in the broader stock market continued into mid-May, with higher oil prices serving to drive energy shares. Heightened inflation concerns sparked by strong economic data snapped an eight session winning streak in the DJIA in mid-May. Trade war and geopolitical tensions continued to provide for a volatile stock market during the second half of May. The DJIA hit is highest level in two months heading into the second half of May, as concerns about a possible trade war between the U.S. and China temporarily eased. Comparatively, stocks retreated at the end of May, amid political upheaval in Italy and the Trump administration raising the prospect of a global trade war by imposing tariffs on U.S. neighbors and allies. A favorable jobs report for May and some strong corporate earnings reports lifted stocks in early-June, which was followed by a downturn in the broader stock market in mid-June after the Federal Reserve said it would raise its target interest rate and penciled in a fourth rate increase for later in 2018. Stocks tumbled lower in the final trading sessions of the second quarter, which was largely attributed to rising trade friction between the U.S. and China.

 

Strong job growth reflected in June employment report and signs that U.S. trade tensions with Europe may be easing propelled the stock market higher at the start of the third quarter of 2018. Technology stocks led a broader stock market rally in mid-July, with the NASDAQ closing at a new record high. Some favorable second quarter earnings reports continued the upward trend in the broader stock market heading into the second half of July. Comparatively, technology stocks led the stock market lower at the end of July, as some technology companies posted disappointing second quarter earnings. Strong earnings growth by some of America’s biggest companies contributed to a rebound in the stock market in early-August. On August 3, 2018, the DJIA closed at 25462.58, an increase of 15.3% from one year ago and an increase of 3.0% year-to-date, and the NASDAQ Composite index closed at 7812.01, an increase of 23.0% from one year ago and an increase of 13.2% year-to-date. The S&P 500 Index closed at 2840.35 on August 3, 2018, an increase of 14.7% from one year ago and an increase of 6.2% year-to-date.

VALUATION ANALYSIS

IV.12

 

The market for thrift stocks has not matched the performance of the broader stock market in recent quarters. A rise in long-term Treasury yields and a better-than-expected fourth quarter earnings report by J.P. Morgan contributed to financial shares trading higher during the first two weeks of 2018. Thrift shares participated in the broader stock market rally going in the second half of January 2018, as the banking sector was viewed to be one of the sectors to benefit most from the cut in the federal corporate income tax rate. Concerns of higher interest rates and inflation picking up contributed to thrift shares pulling back at the close of January. Thrift shares dropped sharply in early-February 2018 on the heels of the January jobs report, which showed a pick-up in wages that could potentially lead to higher inflation. Following the broad-based sell-off, thrift shares rebounded along with the broader stock market heading into mid-February. After settling into a narrow trading range during the second half of February, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s upbeat assessment of the economy during Congressional testimony sent thrift shares tumbling lower at the end of February on fears that stronger economic growth could lead to higher inflation and faster rate increases by the Federal Reserve than previously forecasted. Thrift shares rebounded in the first two weeks of March, as some economic reports eased concerns of inflation heating up. After stabilizing in mid-March, thrift shares plunged going into the close of the first quarter as investors reacted to the Federal Reserve’s rate hike and the announcement by the Trump administration that the U.S. would impose $50 billion in tariffs on imports from China.

 

Thrift shares traded evenly through the first half April 2018, with first quarter earnings reports coming of the thrift sector generally meeting expectations. Merger activity contributed to gains in the thrift sector in late-April, which was followed by a slightly pullback at the end of April. Thrift shares continued slide into the first week of May, as the Federal Reserve concluded its early-May policy meeting leaving rates unchanged but reiterated plans to continue to raise rates gradually. Weaker than expected wage growth reflected in the April employment report helped to calm investor inflation fears, as thrift shares rebounded from the early-May downturn and then traded in a narrow range into mid-May. An increase in long-term Treasury yields provided for an uptick in thrift stocks heading into the second half of May, which was followed by a narrow trading range for the balance of May. The thrift sector participated in the broader stock market rally in early-June, which was prompted by solid jobs data for May and some strong corporate earnings reports. Thrift shares stabilized into late-June, which was followed by a pullback in thrift stocks at the close of the second quarter.

The strong jobs report for June boosted thrift stocks at the start of the third quarter of 2018, which was followed by a slight decline in thrift shares ahead of third quarter earnings reports. After trading in a narrow through the release of second earnings reports, concerns of rising inflation pressured thrift shares lower in late-July and into early-August. On August 3, 2018, the SNL Index for all publicly-traded thrifts closed at 943.5, an increase of 4.6% from one year ago and an increase of 0.6% year-to-date.

 

B.The New Issue Market

 

In addition to thrift stock market conditions in general, the new issue market for converting thrifts is also an important consideration in determining the Company’s pro forma market value. The new issue market is separate and distinct from the market for seasoned thrift stocks in that the pricing ratios for converting issues are computed on a pro forma basis, specifically: (1) the numerator and denominator are both impacted by the conversion offering amount, unlike existing stock issues in which price change affects only the numerator; and (2) the pro forma pricing ratio incorporates assumptions regarding source and use of proceeds, effective tax rates, stock plan purchases, etc. which impact pro forma financials, whereas pricing for existing issues are based on reported financials. The distinction between pricing of converting and existing issues is perhaps no clearer than in the case of the price/book ("P/B") ratio in that the P/B ratio of a converting thrift will typically result in a discount to book value whereas in the current market for existing thrifts the P/B ratio often reflects a premium to book value. Therefore, it is appropriate to also consider the market for new issues, both at the time of the conversion and in the aftermarket.

 

As shown in Table 4.2, one standard conversion offering was completed during the past three months and no first-step offerings have been completed during the past three months. The most recent first-step offering was completed by Columbia Financial, Inc. of New Jersey, which was a significantly larger offering compared to Rhinebeck Bancorp’s first-step offering. Columbia Financial completed its first-step offering in April 2018 and raised gross proceeds of $498.3 million, which was the top of its offering range. Columbia Financial’s closing fully-converted P/TB equaled 80.5% and the stock closed 56.8% higher after the first week of trading. Comparatively, a smaller first-step offering was completed by SSB Bancorp in January 2018. SSB Bancorp raised gross proceeds of $10.1 million, which was at the top of its offering range. SSB Bancorp’s closing fully-converted P/TB equaled 72.9% and the stock closed 4.5% lower after the first week of trading.

C.The Acquisition Market

 

Also considered in the valuation was the potential impact on Rhinebeck Bancorp’s stock price of recently completed and pending acquisitions of other savings institutions operating in New York. As shown in Exhibit IV-4, there were six New York thrift acquisitions completed from the beginning of 2014 through year-to-date 2018 and there is currently one acquisition pending for a New York savings institution. To the extent that speculation of a re-mutualization may impact the Company’s valuation, we have largely taken this into account in selecting companies for the Peer Group which operate in markets that have experienced a comparable level of acquisition activity as the Company’s market and, thus, are subject to the same type of acquisition speculation that may influence the Company’s stock. However, since converting thrifts are subject to a three-year regulatory moratorium from being acquired, acquisition speculation in the Company’s stock would tend to be less compared to the stocks of the Peer Group companies. Furthermore, in comparison to the stocks of the fully-converted Peer Group companies, the degree of acquisition speculation in the Company’s stock is also viewed to be relatively more limited since there will be fewer potential acquirers for the Company’s stock as a re-mutualization transaction can only be completed by a mutual institution or an institution in the MHC form of ownership. Additionally, there tends to be less acquisition speculation in the stocks of publicly-traded MHCs in general, given the majority of the shares are held by the MHC rather than public shareholders which own 100% of the shares of the fully-converted Peer Group companies. Accordingly, the Peer Group companies are considered to be subject to a greater degree of acquisition speculation relative to the acquisition speculation that may influence the Company’s trading price.

In determining our valuation adjustment for marketing of the issue, we considered trends in both the overall thrift market, the new issue market including the new issue market for MHC shares and the local acquisition market for thrift stocks. Taking these factors and trends into account, RP Financial concluded that no adjustment was appropriate in the valuation analysis for purposes of marketing of the issue.

8.Management

 

Rhinebeck Bancorp’s management team appears to have experience and expertise in all of the key areas of the Company’s operations. Exhibit IV-5 provides summary resumes of the Company’s Board of Directors and senior management. The financial characteristics of the Company suggest that the Board and senior management have been effective in implementing an operating strategy that can be well managed by the Company’s present organizational structure. The Company currently does not have any senior management positions that are vacant.

 

Similarly, the returns, capital positions and other operating measures of the Peer Group companies are indicative of well-managed financial institutions, which have Boards and management teams that have been effective in implementing competitive operating strategies. Therefore, on balance, we concluded no valuation adjustment relative to the Peer Group was appropriate for this factor.

 

9.Effect of Government Regulation and Regulatory Reform

 

In summary, as a federally-insured savings institution operating in the MHC form of ownership, Rhinebeck Bancorp and Rhinebeck Bank will be operating in substantially the same regulatory environment as the Peer Group members — all of whom are adequately capitalized institutions and are operating with no apparent restrictions. Exhibit IV-6 reflects the Bank’s pro forma regulatory capital ratios. Accordingly, no adjustment has been applied for the effect of government regulation and regulatory reform.

 

Summary of Adjustments

 

Overall, based on the factors discussed above, we concluded that the Company’s pro forma market value should reflect the following valuation adjustments relative to the Peer Group:

Valuation Approaches: Fully-Converted Basis

 

In applying the accepted valuation methodology promulgated by the FDIC, the FRB and the Department, i.e., the pro forma market value approach, we considered the three key pricing ratios in valuing the Company’s to-be-issued stock — price/earnings ("P/E"), price/book ("P/B"), and price/assets ("P/A") approaches — all performed on a pro forma basis including the effects of the stock proceeds. In computing the pro forma impact of the conversion and the related pricing ratios, we have incorporated the valuation parameters disclosed in the Company’s prospectus for effective tax rate, stock benefit plan assumptions, the Foundation and offering expenses (summarized in Exhibits IV-9 and IV-10). The assumptions utilized in the pro forma analysis in calculating the Company’s full conversion value were consistent with the assumptions utilized for the minority stock offering, except expenses were assumed to equal 2.5% of gross proceeds (summarized in Exhibits IV-7 and IV-8).

 

In our estimate of value, we assessed the relationship of the pro forma pricing ratios relative to the Peer Group, recent conversions and publicly-traded MHCs on a fully-converted basis.

 

RP Financial's valuation placed an emphasis on the following:

 

·P/E Approach. The P/E approach is generally the best indicator of long-term value for a stock. At the same time, recognizing that (1) the earnings multiples will be evaluated on a pro forma fully-converted basis for the Company; and (2) the Peer Group on average has had the opportunity to realize the benefit of reinvesting net conversion proceeds, we also gave weight to the other valuation approaches.

·P/B Approach. P/B ratios have generally served as a useful benchmark in the valuation of thrift stocks, particularly in the context of an initial public offering, as the earnings approach involves assumptions regarding the use of proceeds. RP Financial considered the P/B approach to be a valuable indicator of pro forma value taking into account the pricing ratios under the P/E and P/A approaches. We have also modified the P/B approach to exclude the impact of intangible assets (i.e., price/tangible book value or “P/TB”), in that the investment community frequently makes this adjustment in its evaluation of this pricing approach.

 

·P/A Approach. P/A ratios are generally a less reliable indicator of market value, as investors typically assign less weight to assets and attribute greater weight to book value and earnings. Furthermore, this approach as set forth in the regulatory valuation guidelines does not take into account the amount of stock purchases funded by deposit withdrawals, thus understating the pro forma P/A ratio. At the same time, the P/A ratio is an indicator of franchise value, and, in the case of highly capitalized institutions, high P/A ratios may limit the investment community's willingness to pay market multiples for earnings or book value when ROE is expected to be low.

 

The Company will adopt “Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans” (“ASC 718-40”), which will cause earnings per share computations to be based on shares issued and outstanding excluding unreleased ESOP shares. For purposes of preparing the pro forma pricing analyses, we have reflected all shares issued in the offering, including all ESOP shares, to capture the full dilutive impact, particularly since the ESOP shares are economically dilutive, receive dividends and can be voted. However, we did consider the impact of ASC 718-40 in the valuation.

 

Based on the application of the three valuation approaches, taking into consideration the valuation adjustments discussed above and the dilutive impact of the stock contribution to the Foundation, RP Financial concluded that as of August 3, 2018, the pro forma market value of Rhinebeck Bancorp’s full conversion offering equaled $89,285,710 at the midpoint, equal to 8,928,571 shares at $10.00 per share.

 

Basis of Valuation - Fully-Converted Pricing Ratios

 

1.       Price-to-Earnings ("P/E"). The application of the P/E valuation method requires calculating the Company’s pro forma market value by applying a valuation P/E multiple (fully-converted basis) to the pro forma earnings base. In applying this technique, we considered both reported earnings and a recurring earnings base, that is, earnings adjusted to exclude any one-time non-operating items, plus the estimated after-tax earnings benefit of the reinvestment of the net proceeds. In deriving Rhinebeck Bancorp’s core earnings, the adjustments made to reported earnings were to eliminate the net loss on the sale of securities equal to $16,000, the net gain of the sale of OREO equal to $1,000, the loss on sale the sale of premises and equipment equal to $106,000, the loss on the write-down of OREO equal to $693,000 and the gain on the sale of the insurance subsidiary equal to $1.834 million. As shown below, on a tax effected basis, assuming an effective marginal tax rate of 27.0% for the earnings adjustments, the Company’s core earnings were determined to equal $1.840 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2018.

Based on Rhinebeck Bancorp’s reported and core earnings and incorporating the impact of the pro forma assumptions discussed previously, the Company’s pro forma reported and core P/E multiples (fully-converted basis) at the $89.3 million midpoint value equaled 32.01 times and 43.68 times, respectively, which provided for premiums of 31.66% and 103.45% relative to the Peer Group's average reported and core P/E multiples of 24.33 times and 21.47 times, respectively (see Table 4.3). In comparison to the Peer Group’s median reported and core earnings multiples which equaled 24.95 times and 22.63 times, respectively, the Company’s pro forma reported and core P/E multiples (fully-converted basis) at the midpoint value indicated premiums of 28.30% and 93.02%, respectively. The Company’s pro forma fully-converted P/E ratios based on reported earnings at the minimum and the super maximum equaled 27.52x and 41.34x, respectively, and based on core earnings at the minimum and the super maximum equaled 37.70x and 55.92x, respectively.

 

On an MHC reported basis, the Company’s reported and core P/E multiples at the midpoint value of $89.3 million equaled 34.70 times and 48.84 times, respectively (see Table 4.4). The Company’s reported and core P/E multiples provided for premiums of 42.62% and 127.48% relative to the Peer Group’s average reported and core P/E multiples of 24.33 times and 21.47 times, respectively. In comparison to the Peer Group’s median reported and core earnings multiples which equaled 24.95 times and 22.63 times, respectively, the Company’s pro forma reported and core P/E multiples (MHC basis) at the midpoint value indicated premiums of 39.08% and 115.82%, respectively. The Company’s pro forma MHC P/E ratios based on reported earnings at the minimum and the super maximum equaled 29.53x and 45.77x, respectively, and based on core earnings at the minimum and the super maximum equaled 41.58x and 64.36x, respectively.

2.       Price-to-Book ("P/B"). The application of the P/B valuation method requires calculating the Company’s pro forma market value by applying a valuation P/B ratio, as derived from the Peer Group’s P/B ratio, to Rhinebeck Bancorp’s pro forma book value (fully-converted basis). Based on the $89.3 million midpoint valuation, Rhinebeck Bancorp’s pro forma P/B and P/TB ratios (fully-converted basis) equaled 68.40% and 69.35%, respectively. In comparison to the average P/B and P/TB ratios for the Peer Group of 122.32% and 133.04%, respectively, the Company’s ratios reflected a discount of 44.08% on a P/B basis and a discount of 47.87% on a P/TB basis. In comparison to the Peer Group’s median P/B and P/TB ratios of 121.85% and 131.36%, respectively, the Company’s pro forma P/B and P/TB ratios (fully-converted basis) at the midpoint value reflected discounts of 43.87% and 47.21%, respectively. At the top of the super range, the Company’s P/B and P/TB ratios (fully-converted basis) equaled 76.34% and 77.16%, respectively. In comparison to the Peer Group’s average P/B and P/TB ratios, the Company’s P/B and P/TB ratios at the top of the super range reflected discounts of 37.59% and 42.00%, respectively. In comparison to the Peer Group’s median P/B and P/TB ratios, the Company’s P/B and P/TB ratios at the top of the super range reflected discounts of 37.35% and 41.26%, respectively. RP Financial considered the discounts under the P/B approach to be reasonable, given the nature of the calculation of the P/B ratio which mathematically results in a ratio discounted to book value. The discounts reflected under the P/B approach were also supported by the premiums reflected in the Company’s P/E multiples.

 

On an MHC reported basis, the Company’s P/B and P/TB ratios at the $89.3 million midpoint value equaled 102.35% and 104.38%, respectively. In comparison to the average P/B and P/TB ratios indicated for the Peer Group of 122.32% and 133.04%, respectively, Rhinebeck Bancorp’s ratios were discounted by 16.33% on a P/B basis and 21.54% on a P/TB basis. In comparison to the Peer Group’s median P/B and P/TB ratios of 121.85% and 131.36%, respectively, the Company’s pro forma P/B and P/TB ratios (MHC basis) at the midpoint value reflected discounts of 16.00% and 20.54%, respectively. At the top of the super range, the Company’s P/B and P/TB ratios (MHC basis) equaled 120.48% and 122.70%, respectively. In comparison to the Peer Group’s average P/B and P/TB ratios, the Company’s P/B and P/TB ratios at the top of the super range reflected discounts of 1.50% and 7.77%, respectively. In comparison to the Peer Group’s median P/B and P/TB ratios, the Company’s P/B and P/TB ratios at the top of the super range reflected discounts of 1.12% and 6.59%, respectively.

3.       Price-to-Assets ("P/A"). The P/A valuation methodology determines market value by applying a valuation P/A ratio (fully-converted basis) to the Company’s pro forma asset base, conservatively assuming no deposit withdrawals are made to fund stock purchases. In all likelihood there will be deposit withdrawals, which results in understating the pro forma P/A ratio which is computed herein. At the $89.3 million midpoint of the valuation range, Rhinebeck Bancorp’s pro forma P/A ratio (fully-converted basis) equaled 10.32% of pro forma assets. Comparatively, the Peer Group companies exhibited an average P/A ratio of 15.06%, which implies a discount of 31.47% has been applied to the Company’s pro forma P/A ratio. In comparison to the Peer Group’s median P/A ratio of 14.82%, the Company’s pro forma P/A ratio (fully-converted basis) at the midpoint value reflects a discount of 30.36%.

 

On an MHC reported basis, Rhinebeck Bancorp’s pro forma P/A ratio at the $89.3 million midpoint value equaled 10.87%. In comparison to the Peer Group's average P/A ratio of 15.06%, Rhinebeck Bancorp’s P/A ratio (MHC basis) indicated a discount of 27.82%. In comparison to the Peer Group’s median P/A ratio of 14.82%, the Company’s pro forma P/A ratio (MHC basis) at the midpoint value reflects a discount of 26.65%.

 

Comparison to Publicly-Traded MHCs

 

As indicated in Chapter III, we believe there are a number of characteristics of MHC shares that make them different from the shares of fully-converted companies. These factors include: (1) lower aftermarket liquidity in the MHC shares since less than 50% of the shares are available for trading; (2) no opportunity for public shareholders to exercise voting control; (3) the potential pro forma impact of second-step conversions on the pricing of MHC institutions; and (4) the regulatory policies regarding the accounting for net assets held by the MHC in a second-step conversion and, thereby, lessening the attractiveness of paying cash dividends. The above characteristics of MHC shares have provided MHC stocks with different trading characteristics versus fully-converted companies. To account for the unique trading characteristics of MHC shares, RP Financial has placed the financial data and pricing ratios of the publicly-traded MHCs on a fully-converted basis to make them comparable for valuation purposes. Using the per share and pricing information of the publicly-traded MHCs on a fully-converted basis accomplishes a number of objectives. First, such figures eliminate distortions that result when trying to compare institutions that have different public ownership interests outstanding. Secondly, such an analysis provides ratios that are comparable to the pricing information of fully-converted public companies and are directly applicable to determining the pro forma market value range of the 100% ownership interest in Rhinebeck Bancorp as an MHC. This technique is validated by the investment community's evaluation of MHC pricing, which also incorporates the pro forma impact of a second-step conversion based on the current market price.

To calculate the fully-converted pricing information for MHCs, the reported financial information for the public MHCs incorporates the following assumptions: (1) all shares owned by the MHC are assumed to be sold at the current trading price in a second step-conversion; (2) the gross proceeds from such a sale are adjusted to reflect reasonable offering expenses and standard stock based benefit plan parameters that would be factored into a second-step conversion of an MHC institution; and (3) net proceeds are assumed to be reinvested at market rates on a tax effected basis. Book value per share and earnings per share figures for the public MHCs were adjusted by the impact of the assumed second step-conversion, resulting in an estimation of book value per share and earnings per share figures on a fully-converted basis. Table 4.5 shows the calculation of per share financial data (fully-converted basis) for each of the eleven publicly-traded MHC institutions.

 

The table below shows a comparative pricing analysis of the publicly-traded MHCs on a fully-converted basis versus the Company’s Peer Group. In comparison to the Peer Group’s P/TB ratio, the P/TB ratio of the publicly-traded MHCs reflected a discount of 30.40%. In comparison to the Peer Group’s core P/E multiple, the core P/E multiple of the publicly-traded MHCs reflected a premium of 103.25%. Detailed pricing characteristics of the fully-converted MHCs is shown in Table 4.6.

VALUATION ANALYSIS

IV.27

 

In comparison to the publicly-traded MHCs, the Company’s pro forma P/TB ratio (fully-converted basis) of 69.35% at the midpoint of the valuation range reflected a discount of 25.11%. At the top of the super range, the Company’s P/TB ratio (fully-converted basis) of 77.16% reflected a discount of 16.67%. In comparison to the publicly-traded MHCs, the Company’s pro forma P/E multiple (fully-converted basis) of 32.01 times at the midpoint of the valuation range reflected a discount of 35.27%. At the top of the super range, the Company’s P/E multiple (fully-converted basis) of 41.34 times reflected a discount of 16.40%.

 

It should be noted that in a comparison of the publicly-traded MHCs to Rhinebeck Bancorp, the publicly-traded MHCs maintain certain inherit characteristics in support of increasing the attractiveness of their stocks relative to Rhinebeck Bancorp’s stock as an MHC that will just be completing an IPO: (1) the seasoned publicly-traded MHCs are viewed as potential candidates to complete a second-step offering; and (2) some of the publicly-traded MHCs have been grandfathered to waive dividend payments to the MHC pursuant to receiving an annual majority vote by the depositors to approve the waiver of dividends.

 

Comparison to Recent MHC Offerings

 

As indicated at the beginning of this chapter, RP Financial’s analysis of recent conversion offering pricing characteristics at closing and in the aftermarket has been limited to a “technical” analysis and, thus, the pricing characteristics of recent conversion offerings cannot be a primary determinate of value. Particular focus was placed on the P/TB approach in this analysis, since the P/E multiples do not reflect the actual impact of reinvestment and the source of the stock proceeds (i.e., external funds vs. deposit withdrawals). In comparison to Columbia Financial’s closing first-step offering pro forma P/TB ratio of 80.50%, the Company’s P/TB ratio of 69.35% at the midpoint value reflects an implied discount of 13.85%. At the top of the super maximum, the Company’s P/TB ratio of 77.16% reflects an implied discount of 4.15% relative to Columbia Financial’s closing pro forma P/TB ratio. In comparison to SSB Bancorp’s closing first-step offering pro forma P/TB ratio of 72.90%, the Company’s P/TB ratio of 69.35% at the midpoint value reflects an implied discount of 4.87%. At the top of the super maximum, the Company’s P/TB ratio of 77.16% reflects an implied premium of 5.84% relative to SSB Bancorp’s closing pro forma P/TB ratio.

VALUATION ANALYSIS

Valuation Conclusion

 

Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of August 3, 2018, the estimated aggregate pro forma market value of the shares to be issued immediately following the conversion, both shares issued publicly as well as to the MHC, equaled $89,285,710 at the midpoint, equal to 8,928,571 shares offered at a per share value of $10.00. Pursuant to conversion guidelines, the 15% offering range indicates a minimum value of $75,892,850 and a maximum value of $102,678,570. Based on the $10.00 per share offering price determined by the Board, this valuation range equates to total shares outstanding of 7,589,285 at the minimum and 10,267,857 at the maximum. In the event the appraised value is subject to an increase, the aggregate pro forma market value may be increased up to a super maximum value of $118,080,360 without a resolicitation. Based on the $10.00 per share offering price, the super maximum value would result in total shares outstanding of 11,808,036. The Board of Directors has established a public offering range such that the public ownership of the Company will constitute a 43.0% ownership interest prior to the issuance of shares to the Foundation. Accordingly, the offering to the public of the minority stock will equal $32,633,930 at the minimum, $38,392,860 at the midpoint, $44,151,790 at the maximum and $50,774,560 at the super maximum of the valuation range. Based on the public offering range and inclusive of the shares issued to the Foundation, equal to 2.0% of the shares issued in the stock issuance, the public ownership of shares will represent 45.0% of the shares issued throughout the valuation range. The pro forma valuation calculations relative to the Peer Group (fully-converted basis) are shown in Table 4.3 and are detailed in Exhibit IV-7 and Exhibit IV-8; the pro forma valuation calculations relative to the Peer Group based on reported financials are shown in Table 4.4 and are detailed in Exhibits IV-9 and IV-10.
