EFFINGHAM, Ill., Jan. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Midland States Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: MSBI) (the “Company”) today reported net loss available to common shareholders of $54.8 million, or $2.52 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to net income of $16.2 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2024. This also compares to net income available to common shareholders of $18.5 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2023.

During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company took several actions to address its credit quality issues and exit its non-core consumer loan portfolios. Our deteriorating credit quality issues were primarily within three sectors of our business: non-core consumer loans, Specialty Finance Group, and Midland Equipment Financing.

In the quarter, the Company decided to accelerate the reduction of our non-core consumer loan portfolio through sales. These loans were originated by our Fintech partners, LendingPoint and Greensky. As a result of LendingPoint’s system conversion in the third quarter of 2023, our portfolio experienced significant credit deterioration and servicing-related deficiencies. In December 2024, we sold our $87.1 million LendingPoint portfolio, recognizing net charge-offs and provision for credit losses of $17.3 million on the sale. We also committed to a plan to sell $371.7 million of our Greensky consumer loan portfolio and recognized net charge-offs and provision for credit losses of $33.4 million when these loans were transferred to held for sale. We expect to provide partial financing on the sale with senior secured loans to a special purpose entity with credit subordination and a 20% risk weighting.

The Specialty Finance Group provides bridge loan financing for commercial real estate projects, primarily multi-family and healthcare. These projects can include construction and seek short term financing in anticipation of obtaining permanent secondary market financing. The loans are typically outside of the Company’s primary market areas. We completed a strategic review of this portfolio including obtaining updated appraisals on loans that had shown elevated credit risk in the third and fourth quarters. As a result of this review, five loans with balances of $57.8 million were moved from substandard to non-performing with recognized charge-offs of $6.6 million. In addition, updated appraisals were obtained for five non-performing loans with balances of $55.8 million which resulted in charge-offs of $18.8 million recognized in the fourth quarter of 2024. In addition, we recognized impairment expense on an OREO property related to a former assisted living loan of $2.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

The strategic review also included all criticized loans, construction loans and loans that failed our stress test in all portfolios, including our community bank. This resulted in charge-offs of almost all specific reserves. In addition, the Company tightened credit standards going forward and will not originate new construction loans in the Specialty Finance Group. Our strategic actions around credit administration will better position the Company going forward.

The equipment finance portfolio includes loans and leases originated to customers throughout the United States. During 2024, we experienced elevated charge-offs primarily within the trucking industry. Charge-offs in this portfolio were $15.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 as we evaluated equipment values for nonaccrual assets. Nonaccrual loans and leases in the finance portfolio decreased to $11.3 million from $21.4 million at September 30, 2024. Additionally, based on further deterioration in the industry, we evaluated salvage values of the leases and loans related to this industry, along with the carrying values of repossessed and off-lease equipment, and recognized impairment expense of $7.6 million.

Jeffrey G. Ludwig, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said, “Improving credit quality is our number one priority and in the fourth quarter we took significant steps to reduce credit risk and address our underlying credit issues. During the quarter we made the difficult decision to exit our non-core consumer portfolio and charge-off deteriorating credits in an effort to better position the Company to grow our core community banking business. Our team also reviewed our credit risk appetite profile and tightened standards going forward. On a positive note, substandard accruing loans decreased significantly in the quarter with minimal downgrades to substandard accruing. Delinquencies decreased during the quarter as well.

“We are seeing positive trends in new client additions in both our community bank and wealth management, net interest margin expanded in the quarter and with the actions we took in the quarter to reduce credit risk, we believe we are well positioned to deliver solid financial performance in 2025. We will continue to make investments in talent, technology, and marketing to further enhance our ability to generate profitable growth in the coming years,” said Mr. Ludwig.

Balance Sheet Highlights

Total assets were $7.53 billion at December 31, 2024, compared to $7.75 billion at September 30, 2024, and $7.87 billion at December 31, 2023. At December 31, 2024, portfolio loans were $5.17 billion, compared to $5.75 billion at September 30, 2024, and $6.13 billion at December 31, 2023.

Loans

During the fourth quarter of 2024, outstanding loans declined by $581.2 million, or 10.1%, from September 30, 2024, primarily as a result of the Company’s decision to sell the Greensky and LendingPoint consumer loan portfolios, and the continuation of the Company’s plan to decrease its equipment financing portfolio to focus on commercial loan opportunities in our community banking regions.

Consumer loans decreased $506.0 million to $157.2 million at December 31, 2024, primarily due to the loan portfolio sale, transfer to held for sale, and loan paydowns. Equipment finance loan and lease balances decreased $51.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2024 as the Company continued to reduce its concentration of this product within the overall loan portfolio. Equipment financing and consumer loans comprised 15.6% and 3.0%, respectively, of the loan portfolio at December 31, 2024, compared to 15.0% and 11.5%, respectively, at September 30, 2024.

Loan Quality

Substandard accruing loans decreased $88.7 million to $78.8 million at December 31, 2024, as compared to September 30, 2024.

No significant new substandard loans were identified during the quarter.

Nonperforming loans increased $25.6 million to $140.1 million at December 31, 2024, as compared to September 30, 2024. Charged off nonperforming loans in the fourth quarter of 2024 totaled $48.9 million, partially offsetting the amount of loans transferred to nonaccrual status in the quarter.

Results of Operations Highlights

Net Interest Income and Margin

The actions taken by the Federal Reserve Bank to lower short term interest rates resulted in lower funding costs for the Company.

The yield on interest-earning assets decreased 11 basis points to 5.80% compared to the third quarter of 2024, due in part to interest reversals of $1.5 million on substandard loans transferred to nonaccrual status in the fourth quarter and the impact of interest rate cuts enacted by the Federal Reserve Bank.

Average loans were $5.65 billion for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $5.78 billion for the third quarter of 2024 and $6.20 billion for the fourth quarter of 2023.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $19.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $19.3 million for the third quarter of 2024. Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $20.5 million, and included incremental servicing revenues of $2.2 million and $1.6 million related to our commercial FHA servicing portfolio and the Greensky portfolio, respectively. Also included was a $1.1 million one-time gain from the sale of Visa B stock, offset by $2.9 million of losses on the sale of investment securities. Excluding these transactions, noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2024, the third quarter of 2024, and the fourth quarter of 2023 was $19.6 million, $19.3 million, and $18.5 million, respectively.

Wealth management revenue totaled $7.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of $0.6 million, or 7.8%, as compared to the third quarter of 2024, due to increases in trust and estate fees. Assets under administration were $4.15 billion at December 31, 2024 compared to $4.27 billion and $3.73 billion at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Income on company-owned life insurance income totaled $2.0 million, $2.0 million and $1.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, the third quarter of 2024, and the fourth quarter of 2023, respectively.

On a full year basis, noninterest income increased $11.2 million, or 16.7%. Wealth management revenue increased $3.1 million due to increases in assets under administration and estate fees. Income on company-owned life insurance increased $3.2 million. The Company surrendered certain low-yielding life insurance policies and purchased additional policies in the third quarter of 2023, resulting in the increase in revenue. In 2024, we recognized net losses on the sales of investment securities of $0.2 million compared to $9.4 million in 2023, as we took advantage of certain market conditions last year to reposition out of lower yielding securities into other structures, which resulted in improved overall margin, liquidity and capital allocations. Several one-time transactions were recognized in other noninterest income in 2023, including incremental servicing revenues of $2.2 million and $1.6 million related to our commercial FHA servicing portfolio and the Greensky portfolio, respectively. In addition, the Company recognized a $1.1 million one-time gain from the sale of Visa B stock, a gain of $0.7 million on the redemption of subordinated debt and a gain of $0.8 million on the sale of OREO.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $54.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $46.7 million in the third quarter of 2024 and $44.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2024 included $7.6 million of impairment on equipment financing operating lease collateral and surrendered equipment, and $2.1 million of impairment on an OREO property. Excluding these items, noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2024, the third quarter of 2024, and the fourth quarter of 2023 was $44.5 million, $46.7 million, and $44.5 million, respectively.

On a full year basis, in addition to the fourth quarter expenses previously described, costs related to upgrades to our ATM fleet, loan collection expenses, and settlement of various lawsuits drove the increase in noninterest expense as compared to the prior year.

The efficiency ratio for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 was 71.42% compared to 62.76% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, and 55.22% for the fourth quarter of 2023.

The impact of rising interest rates on the Company’s investment portfolio and cash flow hedges resulted in an accumulated other comprehensive loss of $82.0 million at December 31, 2024, which reduced tangible book value by $3.81 per share.

Stock Repurchase Program

As previously disclosed, on December 5, 2023, the Company’s board of directors authorized a new share repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company was authorized to repurchase up to $25.0 million of common stock through December 31, 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company did not repurchased any shares of its common stock. The program terminated effective December 31, 2024.

BayCom Corp Reports 2024 Fourth Quarter Earnings of $6.1 Million

WALNUT CREEK, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
BayCom Corp (“BayCom” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BCML), the holding company for United Business Bank (the “Bank” or “UBB”), announced earnings of $6.1 million, or $0.55 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to earnings of $6.0 million, or $0.54 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2024 and $6.4 million, or $0.55 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2023.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2024 increased $103,000, or 1.7%, primarily as a result of a $1.6 million decrease in provision for credit losses, $709,000 increase in net interest income, $306,000 decrease in provision for income taxes and $98,000 decrease in noninterest expense, partially offset by a $2.7 million decrease in noninterest income. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 decreased $278,000, or 4.3%, primarily as a result of a $2.6 million decrease in noninterest income and a $902,000 increase in noninterest expense, partially offset by a $2.7 million decrease in provision for credit losses, a $439,000 decrease in provision for income taxes and a $47,000 increase in net interest income.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 decreased $3.8 million, or 13.9%, primarily as a result of a $6.7 million decrease in net interest income and $600,000 decrease in noninterest income, partially offset by a $750,000 decrease in provision for credit losses, a $545,000 decrease in noninterest expense, and a $2.2 million decrease in provision for income taxes. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $23.6 million, or $2.10 per diluted share common share, compared to net income for the year ended December 31, 2023 of $27.4 million, or $2.27 per diluted common share.

George Guarini, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2024 reflect a continuing trend of new lending activities and improvement in our net interest margin. Improving credit quality and economic factors are evident in the reversal of our provision for credit losses. Overall, our financial condition remains strong, and our earnings remain steady.”

Guarini concluded, “We are optimistic that 2025 will see a continuing demand for lending and improving bank valuations. We remain committed to enhancing shareholder value through share repurchases and cash dividends, while continuing to provide exceptional value to our clients and shareholders alike.”

  • Annualized net interest margin was 3.80% for the current quarter, compared to 3.73% for the preceding quarter and 3.86% for the same quarter a year ago.

Earnings

Net interest income increased $709,000, or 3.1%, to $23.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 from $22.9 million for the prior quarter, and increased $47,000, or 0.2%, from $23.5 million for the same quarter a year ago. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily driven by an increase in interest income on loans and, to a lesser extent, an increase in interest income on investment securities. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in interest income on fed funds sold and interest-bearing balances in banks, while interest expense remained relatively unchanged. The increase in net interest income from the same quarter in 2023 primarily reflects increases in interest income on loans, investment securities, and federal funds sold and interest-bearing balances in banks, partially offset by an increase in interest expense on deposits. Average interest-earning assets increased $30.0 million, or 1.2%, and increased $52.4 million, or 2.1%, for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2024 and the fourth quarter of 2023, respectively.

The Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) of the Federal Reserve System hiked interest rates a total of 11 times starting in March 2022, bringing target interest rates to a range of 5.25–5.50%. However, on September 18, 2024, the FOMC lowered the target range for the federal funds rate by 50 basis points, followed by 25 basis-point decreases on November 7, 2024 and December 18, 2024. As a result, the Federal Reserve target range stood at 4.25% to 4.50% at December 31, 2024.

The average yield earned (annualized) on interest earning assets for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 5.50%, up from 5.45% for the third quarter of 2024 and 5.29% for the fourth quarter of 2023. This increase reflects the repricing of adjustable-rate loans and securities to higher rates, as well as the origination of new loans at higher rates. Meanwhile, the average rate paid (annualized) on interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 2.58% for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 2.62% for the prior quarter, but increased from 2.21% for the fourth quarter of 2023. The sequential decrease in liability costs was due to a slightly lower cost of interest-bearing deposits and borrowings during the quarter. As interest-bearing liabilities tend to have shorter durations, they generally reprice or reset faster than assets, which contributed to the decrease.

Interest income on loans, including fees, increased $1.3 million, or 5.1%, to $27.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 from $26.2 million for the prior quarter, due to a $42.2 million increase in the average balance of loans and a 16 basis point increase in the average loan yield. Interest income on loans, including fees, increased $1.4 million, or 5.3%, for the three months ended December 31, 2024 from $26.2 million for three months ended December 31, 2023, due to a 16 basis point increase in the average loan yield, partially offset by a $17.8 million decrease in the average balance of loans. The average balance of loans was $1.9 billion for the fourth quarter of 2024, third quarter of 2024, and fourth quarter of 2023. The average yield on loans was 5.69% for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 5.53% for the third quarter of 2024 and 5.33% for the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase in the average yield on loans during the current quarter, compared to the third quarter of 2024 and the fourth quarter of 2023 was due to the impact of increased rates on variable rate loans, as well as new loans being originated at higher market interest rates.

Interest income on loans included $51,000 in accretion of the net discount on acquired loans for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $114,000 in amortization, and $29,000 in accretion of the net discount on acquired loans for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Accretion of the net discount had minimal to no impact on the average yield on loans during the fourth quarter of 2024, the third quarter of 2024 and the fourth quarter of 2023. The balance of the net discounts on these acquired loans totaled $325,000, $449,000, and $354,000 at December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. Interest income included fees related to prepayment penalties of $264,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $12,000 and $27,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Interest income on investment securities increased $57,000, or 2.4%, to $2.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and increased $494,000, or 25.2%, from $1.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The average yield on investment securities increased seven basis points to 4.67% for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to 4.60% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and increased 38 basis points from 4.29% for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The increases in average yield were due to higher market interest rates on newly purchased securities and rate resets on variable rate investment securities. The average balance of investment securities totaled $208.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $207.0 million and $181.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2024, we received $394,000 in cash dividends on our FRB and FHLB stock, up slightly from $393,000 in the third quarter of 2024 and $390,000 in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Interest income on federal funds sold and interest-bearing balances in banks decreased $683,000, or 15.5%, to $3.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and increased $51,000, or 1.4%, from $3.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, as a result of changes in the average yield and average balance. The average yield on federal funds sold and interest-bearing balances in banks decreased 64 basis point to 4.79% for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to 5.43% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and decreased 67 basis points from 5.46% for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in the average yield was due to lowering of the Federal Reserve rate during the fourth quarter of 2024. The average balance of federal funds sold and interest-bearing balance in banks totaled $309.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $323.6 million and $267.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The decrease in average balance during the current quarter compared to the prior quarter was due to paydowns and amortization on loans outpacing new fundings earlier in the quarter, offset by larger new loan fundings in December 2024. The increase in average balance during the current quarter compared to the same quarter one year ago was due to higher retained cash balances as a result of lower new loan production during 2023 and the first half of 2024.

Interest expense for both the three months ended December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024 was $10.6 million, and increased $1.9 million, or 25.3%, compared to $8.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, reflecting higher funding costs primarily related to increased rates of interest on our deposits due to higher market rates. The average balance of deposits totaled $2.2 billion for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $2.1 billion for both the third quarter of 2024 and fourth quarter of 2023. The average cost of funds for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 2.58%, compared to 2.62% for the third quarter of 2024 and 2.21% for the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease in the average cost of funds during the current quarter compared to the prior quarter of 2024 was due to lower interest rates paid on money market and time deposits due to lowering of the Federal Reserve target rate during the current quarter. The increase in the average cost of funds during the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the same quarter of 2023 was due to higher interest rates paid on money market and time deposits due to increased competition and pricing pressures and a change in deposit mix due to a shift of deposits from noninterest-bearing accounts to higher costing money market and time deposits. The average cost of deposits for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was 1.73%, compared to 1.75% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 1.40% for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The average balance of noninterest-bearing deposits increased $3.4 million, or 0.6%, to $619.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $615.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and decreased $36.8 million, or 5.6%, compared to $656.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023.

Annualized net interest margin was 3.80% for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 3.73% for the third quarter of 2024 and 3.86% for the fourth quarter of 2024. The average yield on interest earning assets for the fourth quarter of 2024 increased five basis points and 21 basis points over the average yields for the third quarter of 2024 and the fourth quarter of 2023, respectively, while the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities for fourth quarter of 2024 decreased four basis points and increased 37 basis points over the average rates paid for the third quarter of 2024 and the fourth quarter of 2023, respectively. Net interest margin in the fourth quarter of 2024 as compared to the third quarter of 2024 was positively impacted by the average yield on interest earning assets, and as compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 was negatively impacted by increasing funding costs, which outpaced, on a percentage basis, increasing yields on loans and investment securities. Accretion of the net discount had minimal to no impact on the average yield on loans during the fourth quarter of 2024, the third quarter of 2024 and the fourth quarter of 2023.

The Company recorded a $403,000 reversal of provision for credit losses for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to provision for credit losses of $1.2 million, and $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2024 and the fourth quarter of 2023, respectively. The reversal of provision for credit losses in the fourth quarter of 2024 was mainly driven by decreasing quantitative loss rates due to favorable changes in forecasted economic conditions, partially offset by provision for new loan fundings and minimal increase in provision for credit losses for unfunded commitments. Net recoveries totaled $1,000 for the fourth quarter of 2024 which reflected minimal activity, compared to net charge-offs of $1.5 million during the third quarter of 2024, which included a $1.0 million complete charge-off on a commercial non-accrual loan, which was fully reserved for at June 30, 2024, a $480,000 complete charge-off of a non-accrual commercial real estate loan, which was sold during the third quarter of 2024, and a complete write-down of one non-accrual farmland loan for $88,000, partially offset by two recoveries totaling $50,000. The quantitative reserve was impacted by improvements in forecasted economic conditions for national gross domestic product and increasing forecasted national unemployment, both of which are key indicators utilized to estimate credit losses.

Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 decreased $2.7 million, or 96.8%, to $87,000 compared to $2.7 million for the prior quarter of 2024, and decreased $2.6 million, or 96.8%, compared to $2.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease in noninterest income for the current quarter compared to the prior quarter of 2024 was primarily due to a $2.7 million decrease in gain on equity securities as a result of negative fair value adjustments on these securities due to changes in market conditions, a $17,000 decrease in service charges and other fees a $35,000 decrease in income on investment in a Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) fund due to losses in the underlying fund, and a $46,000 decrease in other income and fees, partially offset by a $69,000 increase in loan servicing fees and other fees due to increased loan production and increased late fees due to timing of borrower payments.

The decrease in noninterest income for the current quarter compared to the same quarter in 2023 was primarily due to a $2.2 million decrease in gain on equity securities, a $446,000 decrease in income on an investment in SBIC fund, and a $52,000 decrease in loan servicing fees due to lower servicing fee income, partially offset by a $51,000 increase in service charges and other fees primarily due to fewer customer deposits placed in Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) and Insured Cash Sweep (“ICS”) money market product services via the IntraFi Network, and a $12,000 increase in other income and fees.

Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2024 decreased $98,000, or 0.6%, to $16.0 million compared to $16.1 million for the prior quarter of 2024, and increased $902,000, or 6.0%, compared to $15.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease in noninterest expense for current quarter compared to the prior quarter of 2024 was primarily due to a $83,000 decrease in other expense due to lower legal and other professional costs, a $75,000 decrease in data processing expense due to lower vendor data processing charges, and a $30,000 decrease in occupancy and equipment expense, partially offset by a $90,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits as a result of year-end incentive accrual adjustments. The increase in noninterest expense for fourth quarter of 2024, compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, was primarily due to a $723,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits due to adjustments made in response to inflation and incentive accruals with improved loan production, a $155,000 increase in occupancy and equipment expense due to higher depreciation and property maintenance expense, and a $131,000 increase in data processing expense due to newly implemented services in the current year, partially offset by a $107,000 decrease in other expense due to reduction in legal and other professional costs.

The provision for income taxes decreased $306,000, or 13.5%, to $1.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to $2.3 million for the prior quarter of 2024 and decreased $439,000, or 18.2%, from $2.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 24.3%, compared to 27.4% for the prior quarter of 2024 and 27.3% for the fourth quarter of 2023. The reduction in the effective tax rate compared to both the prior quarter of 2024 and the same quarter of 2023 was primarily due to true-up adjustments for low-income housing tax credits and losses along with other year-end adjustments.

Loans and Credit Quality

Loans, net of deferred fees, increased $40.8 million from September 30, 2024, and increased $25.1 million from December 31, 2023, and totaled $2.0 billion at December 31, 2024, compared to $1.9 billion at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The increase in loans at December 31, 2024 compared to September 30, 2024 was primarily due to $118.4 million of new loan originations and $21.6 million of loan purchases, partially offset by $99.5 million of loan repayments during the current quarter.

Nonperforming loans, consisting solely of non-accrual loans, totaled $9.5 million, or 0.48% of total loans, at December 31, 2024, compared to $9.7 million, or 0.51% of total loans, at September 30, 2024, and $13.0 million, or 0.67% of total loans, at December 31, 2023. The decrease in nonperforming loans from the prior quarter-end was primarily due to pay-off of one non-accrual loan of $283,000, partially offset by two new loans totaling $35,000 being placed on non-accrual during the current quarter.

The portion of nonaccrual loans guaranteed by government agencies totaled $2.0 million at both December 31, 2024, and September 30, 2024, compared to $740,000 at December 31, 2023. There were two loans totaling $220,000, 90 days or more past due and still accruing and in the process of collection at December 31, 2024, compared to no loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing and in the process of collection at both September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023. Accruing loans past due between 30 and 89 days at December 31, 2024, totaled $6.7 million, compared to $4.5 million at September 30, 2024 and $4.8 million at December 31, 2023. The $2.2 million increase in accruing loans past due between 30-89 days at December 31, 2024 compared to September 30, 2024, was primarily due to two commercial real estate loans totaling $2.7 million, which were less than 30 days past due at December 31, 2024, partially offset by pay-off of one commercial real estate loan for $1.7 million during the current quarter, which was more than 30 days past due at September 30, 2024.

At December 31, 2024, the Company’s allowance for credit losses for loans was $17.9 million, or 0.92% of total loans, compared to $18.3 million, or 0.96% of total loans, at September 30, 2024 and $22.0 million, or 1.14% of total loans, at December 31, 2023. We recorded net recoveries of $3,000 for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to net charge-offs of $1.5 million in the prior quarter of 2024 and net charge-offs of $150,000 in the fourth quarter of 2023.

As of December 31, 2024, acquired loans net of their discount totaled $163.5 million with a remaining net discount on these loans of $326,000, compared to $176.7 million of acquired loans with a remaining net discount of $449,000 at September 30, 2024, and $215.2 million of acquired loans with a remaining net discount of $354,000 at December 31, 2023. The change in the net discount from September 30, 2024, was due to payoff activity during the current quarter. The net discount includes a credit discount based on estimated losses on the acquired loans, partially offset by a premium, if any, based on market interest rates on the date of acquisition.

Deposits and Borrowings

Deposits totaled $2.2 billion at December 31, 2024, compared to $2.1 billion at both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. During 2024 the overall deposit mix shifted, in part, due to interest rate sensitive clients moving a portion of their non-operating deposit balances from lower costing deposits, including noninterest-bearing deposits, into higher costing money market and time deposits. At December 31, 2024, noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $689.0 million, or 30.8% of total deposits, compared to $618.3 million, or 28.9% of total deposits, at September 30, 2024, and $646.3 million, or 30.3% of total deposits, at December 31, 2023. This increase from the prior quarter was primarily attributed to timing, as $79.0 million in incoming wires were received near year-end, and were disbursed in early January 2025.

We consider our deposit base to be seasoned, stable and well-diversified, and we do not have any significant industry concentrations among our non-insured deposits. We also offer an ICS product that allows customers to insure deposits above FDIC insurance limits. At December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, our average deposit account size (excluding public funds), calculated by dividing period-end deposits by the population of accounts with balances, was approximately $62,000 and $60,000, respectively.

The Bank has an approved secured borrowing facility with the FHLB of San Francisco for up to 25% of total assets for a term not to exceed five years under a blanket lien of certain types of loans, with no FHLB advances outstanding at December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. The Bank has Federal Funds lines with four corresponding banks with an aggregate available commitment on these lines of $65.0 million at December 31, 2024. There were no amounts outstanding under these lines at December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. During the first quarter of 2024, the Bank was approved for discount window advances with the FRB of San Francisco secured by certain loan types. At both December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, the Bank had no FRB of San Francisco advances outstanding.

At December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had outstanding junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures, net of fair value adjustments, assumed in connection with its previous acquisitions totaling $8.6 million. At December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, the Company had outstanding subordinated debt, net of costs to issue, totaling $63.7 million, compared to $63.9 million at December 31, 2023.

At December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no other borrowings outstanding.

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity totaled $324.4 million at December 31, 2024, compared to $321.7 million at September 30, 2024, and $312.9 million at December 31, 2023. The increase at December 31, 2024, compared to September 30, 2024, reflects $6.1 million of net income during the current quarter, partially offset by a $1.8 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of taxes, common stock repurchases of $36,000 and $1.7 million of accrued cash dividends payable. At December 31, 2024, 464,098 shares remained available for future repurchases under the Company’s current stock repurchase plan.

The increase to shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2024, as compared to December 31, 2023, primarily was due to $23.6 million of net income during the current year and a $1.6 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of taxes, partially offset by $9.3 million of common stock repurchases, $3.4 million of dividends paid during the year, and $1.7 million of accrued cash dividends payable.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles utilized in the United States (“GAAP”), this earnings release contains tangible book value per share and tangible equity to tangible assets, both of which are non-GAAP financial measures. Tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible common shareholders’ equity by the number of common shares outstanding at the end of the period. Tangible equity and tangible common shareholders’ equity exclude intangible assets from shareholders’ equity, and tangible assets exclude intangible assets from total assets. For these financial measures, the Company’s intangible assets are goodwill and core deposit intangibles. The Company believes that these measures are consistent with the capital treatment by our bank regulatory agencies, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios and presents these measures to facilitate comparison of the quality and composition of the Company’s capital over time in comparison to its peers. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures is presented below:
