With the first century firmly behind us, 2024 is positioned to be a year of amplifying areas of opportunity for clients to utilize tools they desire and bank how, when, and from anywhere they like. We view 2024 as the beginning of a new chapter with a renewed vision and strategic priorities. In late June 2024, Riverview board of directors hired Nicole Sherman as the new President/CEO to lead the organization forward using her years of banking acumen. To say that Nicole is no stranger to banking is an understatement. Ms. Sherman brings over 25 years of experience at the Chief, Executive, and Senior VP levels with organizations such as Columbia Bank, Utah First, Numerica Credit Union, AmericanWest Bank, and Zions Bank. Her expertise ranges from Retail and Digital Banking, Commercial and Business Banking to Wealth Management including Private Banking and Financial Services, as well as Corporate Marketing and Communications, DEIBA and Community Impact and Philanthropy. Additionally, Ms. Sherman has led through 10 successful mergers and acquisitions throughout her career. Known for her paramount presentation style, she is a keynote and transformational speaker. Since 2003, Ms. Sherman has been a top-rated faculty member at Pacific Coast Banking School (PCBS) at the University of Washington, Foster School of Business and was named 2023 Instructor of the Year. Riverview continues to deliver positive financial results. However, like all in the financial services industry, we are impacted by the elevated interest rate environment and inflation levels that are higher than what we have historically experienced. We continue to focus on providing excellent service and solutions to our clients along with our goal to continually improve shareholder value. Riverview has strategically restructured its balance sheet which impacted earnings in the current year, along with being impacted by the higher interest rate environment. Net income totaled $3.8 million compared to $18.1 million in the previous year. Our capital levels remained strong with a total risk-based capital ratio of 16.32% and a leverage ratio of 10.29% at March 31, 2024. Non-performing assets (excluding SBA loans) remained exceptionally low at 0.01% of total assets, and we are proud that our core deposits represented 98% of total deposits. Credit quality remains a high priority as we continue to focus on our prudent underwriting standards and diversification of our loan portfolio. While we are focused on all areas of banking, these key areas will propel us forward: Deposit retention and growth – We have enacted several initiatives to attract and retain deposits. Revamping checking accounts for business and consumer clients was a recent initiative. We will continue to offer Certificate of Deposit and other promotions, providing an opportunity to serve existing clients and build relationships with new clients. Tools and technology – Branch banking is essential to our business model and is key in providing excellent service and connecting with clients. Because certain segments of clients want to access and manage money digitally, we will continue working to provide more tools for just this reason. At the same time, financial safety and security are critical areas for the bank and for clients. Culture/talent attraction and retention – We have made significant strides in this area and will continue to focus on attracting and retaining exceptional talent. People are at the center of all we do. Brand awareness/marketing – Riverview conducted a rebranding project two years ago. Riverview believes in an integrated marketing approach to create a greater awareness, gain new clients and to be viewed as a valued community asset and partner. Riverview is evolving and growing to meet client needs. We are proud of our legacy, and we are energized and committed as we move forward with vision and purpose. It’s always been about people. By focusing on our employees, clients, and communities, our shareholders and all stakeholders will thrive. It’s about you.
