Fourth Quarter 2022 vs. Third Quarter 2022

Net interest income decreased $146 thousand, or 0.7%, primarily due to higher interest expense on deposits. Net interest margin was 4.08%, a decrease of 23 basis points from 4.31%.

  • A $2.9 million increase in interest income on loans was primarily due to a 55 basis point increase in contractual loan yield as a result of market rate increases by the Federal Reserve and a $77.6 million increase in average loan balance.
  • A $3.7 million increase in interest expense on deposits was primarily due to a 120 basis point increase in average cost of interest-bearing deposits driven by the Federal Reserve’s rate increases.
  • Average loan yield was 5.81%, a 45 basis point increase from 5.36%, primarily due to a 55 basis point increase in contractual loan yield driven by repricing of variable rate loans and higher rates on new loans, partially offset by a 9 basis points decrease in SBA discount accretion income as a result of lower SBA loan payoffs.
  • Average cost of interest-bearing deposits was 2.41%, a 120 basis point increase from 1.21%. Average cost of deposits was 1.43%, a 78 basis point increase from 0.65%.

Fourth Quarter 2022 vs. Fourth Quarter 2021

Net interest income increased $3.1 million, or 18.1%, primarily due to higher interest income on loans. Net interest margin was 4.08%, an increase of 1 basis point from 4.07%.

  • A $7.4 million increase in interest income on loans was primarily due to a 128 basis point increase in contractual loan yield as a result of market rate increases by the Federal Reserve and a $348.2 million increase in average loan balance.
  • A $5.9 million increase in interest expense on deposits was primarily due to a 204 basis point increase in average cost of interest-bearing deposits driven by the Federal Reserve’s rate increases.
  • Average loan yield was 5.81%, a 71 basis point increase from 5.10%, primarily due to a 128 basis point increase in contractual loan yield driven by repricing of variable rate loans and higher rates on new loans, partially offset by a 22 basis point decrease in SBA discount accretion income as a result of lower SBA loan payoffs and a 31 basis point decrease in amortization of net deferred fees as a result of lower net deferred fees on SBA Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans.
  • Average yield on interesting-bearing deposits in other banks was 3.78%, a 363 basis point increase from 0.15%. Average yield on available-for-sale debt securities was 2.66%, a 147 basis point increase from 1.19%, primarily due to higher yields on securities purchased in 2022.
  • Average cost of interest-bearing deposits was 2.41%, a 204 basis point increase from 0.37%. Average cost of deposits was 1.43%, a 124 basis point increase from 0.19%.

The Company recorded $977 thousand provision for loan losses, an increase of $315 thousand, compared with a $662 thousand provision for loan losses.

Total deposits were $1.89 billion as of December 31, 2022, up $69.0 million from September 30, 2022, primarily due to growth in time deposits, partially offset by a decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits. Time deposits grew $160.6 million, due to management’s actions to support loan growth during the third quarter of 2022 including upward adjustments of interest rates on customer deposits and increases in wholesale deposits. Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $93.0 million, primarily due to decreases in lower transaction volumes in escrow and 1031 exchanges accounts and other decreases affected by market rate increases by the Federal Reserve.

As of December 31, 2022 vs. December 31, 2021

Total deposits were $1.89 billion as of December 31, 2022, up $351.7 million from December 31, 2021, primarily driven by growth in time deposits and money market deposits, offset by a decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits. Time deposits grew $278.8 million to $657.9 million from $379.1 million, and money market deposits increased $146.1 million to $526.3 million from $380.2 million. Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $73.2 million, primarily due to decreases in lower transaction volumes in escrow and 1031 exchanges accounts and other decreases affected by market rate increases by the Federal Reserve.

See the Reconciliation of GAAP to NON-GAAP Financial Measures.

Overall, the Company 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 1.16%.

  • Allowance for loan losses increased $3.1 million to $19.2 million from a year ago. Excluding the impacts of the purchased Hana loans, PPP loans, adjusted allowance to gross loans ratio was 1.16% as of December 31, 2022.
  • Criticized loans decreased by $169 thousand or 4.2% from a year ago, and the criticized loans to gross loans ratio decreased by 8 basis points. Criticized loans are generally consistent with the Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss categories defined by regulatory authorities.
  • Nonperforming assets decreased $120 thousand to $3.1 million, or 0.15% of total assets from a year ago. As of December 31, 2022, $606 thousand of nonaccrual loans was the guaranteed portion of SBA loans that are in liquidation. The Company did not have OREO as of December 31, 2022 or 2021.
  • Net charge-offs were $105 thousand or 0.03% of average loans in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $168 thousand, or 0.05%, of average loans in the fourth quarter of 2021.

COVID-19 Pandemic Update

As of December 31, 2022, no loan was under COVID-19 loan payment modification.

Since the PPP’s inception through December 31, 2022, we have funded $154.5 million, and $154.0 million of principal forgiveness has been provided on qualifying PPP loans.

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 loan 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 Company 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 December 31, 2022, September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 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.
