Second Quarter 2023 vs. First Quarter 2023

Net interest income decreased $0.6 million, or 3.6%, primarily due to higher interest expense on deposits and borrowings, partially offset by higher interest income on loans. Net interest margin was 3.40%, a decrease of 17 basis points from 3.57%.

A $1.5 million increase in interest expense on deposits was primarily due to a $5.2 million increase in average balance of interest-bearing deposits and a 46 basis point increase in average cost driven by the Federal Reserve’s rate increases.

A $610 thousand increase in interest expense on borrowings was primarily due to a $56.4 million increase in average balance.

A $1.3 million increase in interest income on loans was primarily due to a 24 basis point increase in loan yield as a result of the Federal Reserve’s rate increases.

Second Quarter 2023 vs. Second Quarter 2022

Net interest income decreased $1.8 million, or 9.6%, primarily due to higher interest expense on deposits, partially offset by higher interest income on loans. Net interest margin was 3.40%, a decrease of 81 basis points from 4.21%.

An $8.2 million increase in interest income on loans was primarily due to a $165.7 million increase in average balance of interest-bearing deposits and a 143 basis point increase in loan yield as a result of the Federal Reserve’s rate increases.

A $10.9 million increase in interest expense on deposits was primarily due to a $342.3 million increase in average balance and a 348 basis point increase in average cost driven by the Federal Reserve’s rate increases.

⁽¹⁾

Reversal of provision for credit losses on off-balance sheet exposure of $80 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was included in total (reversal of) provision for credit losses. Prior to CECL adoption, provisions for credit losses on off-balance sheet exposure of $23 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was included in other expenses.

Second Quarter 2023 vs. First Quarter 2023

The Company did not record provision for credit losses, compared with a $338 thousand reversal of credit losses.

A $163 thousand increase from qualitative factor adjustments in the second quarter of 2023 was primarily offset by decreases in specific reserve requirements on individually evaluated loans. The change in quantitative general reserve during the quarter was insignificant as the impact from a 1.4% growth in gross loans was mostly offset by a decrease in historical loss factors.

Second Quarter 2023 vs. Second Quarter 2022

The Company did not record provision for credit losses, compared with a $1.0 million provision for credit losses.

Overall, the Bank continued to maintain solid asset quality with low levels of nonperforming loans and net charge-offs. Nonperforming assets and criticized loans remained below our historical norms, a reflection of our conservative credit culture and expertise in the industries we serve. Our allowance remained strong with an adjusted allowance to gross loans ratio of 1.25%.

Criticized loans was $7.5 million, an increase of $4.9 million from a year ago, and represented 0.44% of gross loans. Criticized loans consist of loans categorized as Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss categories defined by regulatory authorities.

Nonperforming assets was $3.4 million, an increase of $1.6 million from a year ago, and represented 0.16% of total assets. As of June 30, 2023, $5.4 million of nonaccrual assets consisted of guaranteed portion of SBA loans that are in liquidation. The Company did not have OREO as of June 30, 2023 or 2022.

Net charge-offs were $12 thousand or 0.00% of average loans in the second quarter of 2023, compared to net charge-offs of $93 thousand, or 0.02%, of average loans in the first quarter of 2023 and net recoveries of $34 thousand, or 0.01%, of average loans in the second quarter of 2022.

Total deposits were $1.86 billion as of June 30, 2023, down $45.2 million from March 31, 2023, primarily due to decreases in money market deposits partially offset by growth in time deposits. The composition shift from money market deposits to time deposits was primarily due to customers’ continued preference for high-rate deposit products driven by the Federal Reserve’s rate increases. Noninterest-bearing deposits remained relatively stable at 34% of total deposits.

As of June 30, 2023 vs. June 30, 2022

Total deposits were $1.86 billion as of June 30, 2023, up $118.0 million from June 30, 2022, primarily driven by growth in time deposits, partially offset by decreases in noninterest-bearing deposits, and money market and others. The composition shift to time deposits was primarily due to customers’ preference for high-rate deposit products driven by market rate increases as a result of the Federal Reserve’s rate increases and decreases in transaction volumes in escrow and 1031 exchanges accounts.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to GAAP measures, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance.

Pre-provision net revenue removes provision for credit losses and income tax expense. Management believes that this non-GAAP measure, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures (as applicable), provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance. This non-GAAP financial measure also facilitates a comparison of our performance to prior periods.

During the second quarter of 2021, the Bank purchased 638 loans from Hana for a total purchase price of $97.6 million. The Company evaluated $100.0 million of the loans purchased in accordance with the provisions of ASC 310-20, Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs, which were recorded with a $8.9 million discount. As a result, the fair value discount on these loans is being accreted into interest income over the expected life of the loans using the effective yield method. Adjusted loan yield and net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2023, March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022 excluded the impacts of contractual interest and discount accretion of the purchased Hana loans as management does not consider purchasing loan portfolios to be normal or recurring transactions. Management believes that presenting the adjusted average loan yield and net interest margin provide comparability to prior periods and these non-GAAP financial measures provide supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance.
