BayCom Corp Reports 2022 Fourth Quarter Earnings of $8.1 Million

BayCom Corp Reports 2022 Fourth Quarter Earnings of $8.1 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 $8.1 million, or $0.62 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to earnings of $7.2 million, or $0.54 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2022 and $5.4 million, or $0.51 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company announced earnings of $27.0 million, or $2.06 per diluted common share, compared to $20.7 million, or $1.90 per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the prior quarter increased $824,000, or 11.4%, primarily as a result of a $1.7 million increase in net interest income and a $577,000 decrease in provision for loan losses, partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in noninterest income and a $212,000 increase in noninterest expense. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 increased $2.6 million, or 48.1%, primarily as a result of a $7.3 million increase in net interest income, partially offset by a $121,000 increase in provision for loan losses, a $1.1 million decrease in noninterest income, a $2.6 million increase in noninterest expense and a $920,000 increase in provision for income taxes.

Net income increased $6.3 million, or 30.5%, to $27.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $20.7 million in 2021, primarily as a result of a $23.9 million increase in net interest income, partially offset by a $4.0 million increase in provision for loan losses, a $589,000 decrease in noninterest income, a $10.8 million increase in noninterest expense and a $2.2 million increase in provision for income taxes. Included in noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $1.6 million in bargain purchase gain related to our acquisition of Pacific Enterprise Bancorp (“PEB”) and its wholly owned operating subsidiary, Pacific Enterprise Bank, during the first quarter of 2022, that was not present during the prior year.

George Guarini, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased that our financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2022 are in line with our expectations. Despite the developing rate pressure on deposits, our return on average assets and our net interest margin improved during the year as a result of our loan growth and overall asset sensitivity. The Federal Reserve has indicated that it expects to continue to increase interest rates in 2023, which should continue to contribute to future earnings. In addition, we are seeing lower marketplace premiums on SBA Loans which gives us the opportunity to hold these loans on the balance sheet supplementing loan growth.”

Guarini concluded, “While market conditions may not be very conducive for merger and acquisition activity, we continue to look for selective merger partners. In addition to focusing on achieving our financial metrics, we are continuing to repurchase our shares and pay cash dividends to our shareholders. Our goal continues to be to consistently add value for our clients and shareholders.”

Earnings

Net interest income increased $1.7 million or 7.1%, to $26.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 from $24.7 million in the prior quarter and increased $7.3 million, or 37.9%, from $19.2 million in the same quarter a year ago. The increase in net interest income between the periods reflects increases in interest income on loans, cash and cash equivalents and, to a lesser extent, investment securities, including dividend on FRB and FHLB stock, partially offset by higher funding costs related to increased market rates of interest on our deposits and junior subordinated debt. Average interest-earning assets decreased $73.2 million, or 3.0%, and increased $150.7 million, or 6.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2022 and the fourth quarter of 2021, respectively. Average yield on interest earning assets for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 4.91%, compared to 4.38% for the third quarter of 2022 and 3.79% the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in average yields on interest-earning assets during the current quarter reflects increases in market interest rates due to recent increases in the target range for federal funds, including a 125 basis points increase during the fourth quarter of 2022, to a range of 4.25% to 4.50%. The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities for fourth quarter of 2022 was 0.89%, compared to 0.66% for the third quarter of 2022, and 0.64% for the fourth quarter of 2021.

Interest income on loans, including fees, increased $1.8 million, or 7.5%, to $25.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the prior quarter primarily due to a 39 basis point increase in the average loan yield. Interest income on loans, including fees, increased $6.1 million, or 30.6%, during the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 primarily due to a $352.7 million increase in the average loan balance and a 37 basis point increase in the average loan yield. The average loan balance totaled $2.0 billion for both the fourth quarter of 2022 and third quarter of 2022, compared to $1.6 billion for the same quarter a year ago. The average yield on loans was 5.12%, compared to 4.73% for the third quarter of 2022 and 4.75% for the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in the average yield on loans from the prior quarter was due to the impact of increased rates on variable rate loans as well as new loans being originated at higher interest rates and by a $155,000 increase in accretion of the net discount on acquired loans, partially offset by a $28,000 decrease in PPP loan fees recognized when compared to the prior quarter.

Interest income on loans included $218,000, $63,000, and $409,000 in accretion of the net discount on acquired loans and revenue from purchase credit impaired loans in excess of discounts for the quarters ended December 31, 2022, September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. The balance of the net discounts on these acquired loans totaled $522,000, $480,000, and $2.1 million at December 31, 2022, September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. Interest income included $133,000 in fees earned related to PPP loans in the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to $161,000 in the prior quarter 2022 and $1.9 million in the same quarter 2021. Interest income also included fees related to prepayment penalties of $335,000 in the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to $195,000 in the prior quarter 2022, and $439,000 in the same quarter in 2021. As of December 31, 2022, total unrecognized fees on PPP loans were $94,000.

Interest income on investment securities available-for-sale increased $57,000 to $1.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, and increased $424,000, or 36.0%, from $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The increase in the current quarter compared to the same quarter in 2021 was due to the increase in market interest rates which resulted in a 32 basis point increase in the average yield on investment securities available-for-sale to 3.39% for the three months ended December 31, 2022 from 3.07% for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The average balance on investments securities available-for-sale totaled $187.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $188.7 million and $152.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Interest income on federal funds sold and interest-bearing balances in banks increased $435,000, or 33.8%, to $1.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and increased $1.5 million, or 820.8%, from $186,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2021 as a result of an increase in the average yield. The average yield on federal funds sold and interest-bearing balances in banks increased 167 basis point to 3.85% for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to 2.18% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and increased 367 basis point from 0.18% for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The average balance of federal funds sold and interest-bearing balance in banks totaled $177.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $234.6 million and $418.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2022, we received $379,000 in cash dividends on our FRB and FHLB stock, up 32.5% from $286,000 in the prior quarter and up 43.0% from $265,000 in the fourth quarter in 2021.

Interest expense increased $623,000, or 25.8%, to $3.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and increased $854,000, or 39.2%, compared to $2.2 million for the same quarter in 2021, primarily as a result of an increase in the average cost of deposits. Average balance of deposits totaled $2.1 billion for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $2.2 billion for the third quarter of 2022 and $2.0 billion for the same quarter in 2021. The average cost of funds for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 0.89% compared to 0.66% for third quarter of 2022 and 0.64% for the same quarter in 2021. The increase in the average cost of funds during the current quarter compared to the prior quarter was due to higher interest rates paid on money market and time deposits due to increased competition and pricing pressures resulting from higher market interest rates generally. The average cost of total deposits for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was 0.37%, compared to 0.25% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 0.24% for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The average balance of noninterest bearing deposits increased $7.4 million, or 0.91%, to $809.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $801.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and $738.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. In addition, interest expense on junior subordinated debt increased $92,000, or 110.0%, to $176,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $84,000 for the same quarter in 2021 as a result of higher market rates.

Annualized net interest margin was 4.40% for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to 3.99% for the preceding quarter and 3.41% for fourth quarter of 2021 as a result of our asset sensitive balance sheet. The average yield on interest earning assets for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased 53 basis point and 112 basis point over the average yields for the third quarter of 2022 and the fourth quarter of 2021, while the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities for fourth quarter of 2022 increase 23 basis points and 25 basis points over the average rates paid for the third quarter of 2022 and the fourth quarter of 2021, respectively. Net interest margin was positively impacted by rising interest rates during the quarter which produced higher yields on loans, investment securities and fed funds sold and interest bearing-balances in banks.

The average yield on PPP loans including the recognition of deferred PPP loan fees was 2.30%, resulting in a positive impact to the net interest margin of three basis points during the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to an average yield of 2.28% with a positive impact to the net interest margin of three basis points during the prior quarter 2022, and compared to an average yield of 8.95% with a positive impact to the net interest margin of 23 basis points during the same quarter in 2021. The accretion of the net discount on acquired loans increased the average yield on loans by 11 basis points during the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to one basis point during the prior quarter 2022, and 15 basis points during the same quarter in 2021. The incremental accretion and the impact on loan yield will change during any period based on the volume of prepayments, but is expected to decrease over time as the balance of the net discount declines.

Based on our review of the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a $617,000 provision for loan losses for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to a $1.2 million provision for loan losses and a $496,000 provision for loan losses in the prior quarter 2022 and the same quarter in 2021, respectively. The provision for loan losses in the fourth quarter of 2022 was primarily due to new loan production and, to a lesser extent, a deterioration in forecasted economic conditions and indicators utilized to estimate loan losses, partially offset by $233,000 in net recoveries during the fourth quarter of 2022.

Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2022 decreased $1.2 million, or 45.0%, to $1.5 million compared to $2.7 million in the prior quarter 2022 and decreased $1.1 million, or 41.3%, compared to $2.6 million for the same quarter in 2021. The decrease in noninterest income for the current quarter compared to the prior quarter 2022 was due to a $1.2 million decrease in gain on sale of SBA loans (guaranteed portion), primarily due to a decrease in the volume of these loans sold during the current quarter, and a $162,000 decrease in income from our investment in a Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) fund, partially offset by a $125,000 increase in servicing charges and other fees. The decrease in noninterest income for the current quarter compared to the same quarter in 2021 was primarily due to a $1.1 million decrease in gain on sale of loans due to a decrease in the volume and premiums observed on SBA loans (guaranteed portion) sold and a $478,000 decrease in SBIC income, partially offset by a $358,000 increase in servicing charges and other fees.

Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased $212,000, or 1.3%, to $16.3 million compared to $16.1 million for the prior quarter 2022 and increased $2.6 million, or 18.6%, compared to $13.8 million for the same quarter in 2021. The increase in noninterest expense for the current quarter compared to the prior quarter 2022 was primarily due to a $565,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits as a result of increases in salaries and wages in 2022 due to upward market pressure on wages in 2022 and year-end accrual adjustments related to other employee benefits. The increase was partially offset by a $47,000 decrease in occupancy and equipment expenses, a $95,000 decrease in data processing fees and a $211,000 decrease in other noninterest expense. Noninterest expenses for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased compared to the same quarter in 2021 primarily due to $2.1 million increase in salaries and employee benefits as a result of an increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees, reflecting our acquisition of Pacific Enterprise Bancorp (“PEB”) and its bank subsidiary, Pacific Enterprise Bank, in February, 2022, coupled with retention incentives and salary adjustments due to upward market pressure on wages in 2022. The increase was also a result of increases in occupancy and equipment expense of $222,000, data processing fees of $137,000 and other noninterest expenses of $68,000.

The provision for income taxes was $3.0 million for both the fourth quarter 2022 and third quarter of 2022 and increased $920,000 compared to $2.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 primarily due to increased pre-tax income. The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 27.1%, compared to 29.0% for the prior quarter 2022, and 27.7% for the same quarter in 2021. The effective tax rate was lower for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the prior quarter 2022 due to year-end true-up adjustments related to non-taxable interest income on tax exempt municipal securities.

Loans and Credit Quality

Loans, net of deferred fees, increased $26.2 million to $2.0 billion at December 31, 2022, compared to September 30, 2022, and increased $356.2 million compared to $1.7 billion at December 31, 2021. The increase in loans at December 31, 2022 compared to September 30, 2022 primarily was due to $127.3 million of new loan originations, partially offset by $101.3 million of loan repayments, including $24.3 million in PPP loan repayments. At December 31, 2022, there was a total of 51 PPP loans outstanding totaling $11.1 million, compared to 138 loans totaling $35.4 million at September 30, 2022.

Nonperforming loans, consisting of non-accrual loans and accruing loans that are 90 days or more past due, totaled $15.2 million or 0.75% of total loans at December 31, 2022, compared to $19.7 million or 0.99% of total loans at September 30, 2022, and $6.9 million or 0.41% of total loans at December 31, 2021. The decrease in nonperforming loans from the prior quarter was primarily due to repayment of $3.3 million in accruing SBA guaranteed PPP loans which were 90 days or more past due and in the process of forgiveness at September 30, 2022, and repayment of a $1.7 million participation interest in a shared national credit, which was restructured as a TDR and placed on non-accrual during the first quarter of 2022. The portion of nonaccrual loans guaranteed by government agencies totaled $839,000, $862,000, and $822,000 at December 31, 2022, September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. There was one loan totaling $934,000 that was 90 days or more past due, still accruing and in the process of collection at December 31, 2022, compared to $3.3 million in accruing SBA guaranteed PPP loans which were 90 days or more past due and in the process of forgiveness at September 30, 2022. Accruing loans past due between 30 and 89 days at December 31, 2022, were $1.5 million, compared to $5.3 million at September 30, 2022, and $3.8 million at December 31, 2021.

At December 31, 2022, the Company’s allowance for loan losses was $18.9 million, or 0.94% of total loans, compared to $18.1 million, or 0.90% of total loans, at September 30, 2022 and $17.7 million, or 1.06% of total loans, at December 31, 2021. The decrease in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2022, as compared to December 31, 2021, was due to the Company’s acquisition of PEB and related acquisition accounting as acquired loans were recorded at their estimate fair value at acquisition and no allowance for loan losses was recorded. We recorded net recoveries of $233,000 for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to net charge-offs of $944,000 in the prior quarter 2022 and net charge-offs of $95,000 in the same quarter in 2021.

In accordance with acquisition accounting, loans acquired from acquisitions were recorded at their estimated fair value, which resulted in a net discount to the loans contractual amounts. Credit discounts are included in the determination of fair value and as a result, no allowance for loan losses is recorded for acquired loans at the acquisition date. However, the allowance for loan loss includes an estimate for credit deterioration of acquired loans that occurs after the date of acquisition, which is included in the loan loss provision in the period that the deterioration occurred. The discount recorded on the acquired loans is not reflected in the allowance for loan losses or related allowance coverage ratios. As of December 31, 2022, acquired loans net of their discount totaled $257.9 million with a remaining net discount on these loans of $522,000, compared to $299.4 million of acquired loans with a remaining net discount of $480,000 at September 30, 2022, and $53.4 million of acquired loans with a remaining net discount of $2.1 million at December 31, 2021. The net discount includes a credit discount based on estimated losses in the acquired loans partially offset a premium, if any, based market interest rates on the date of acquisition.

Deposits and Borrowings

Deposits totaled $2.1 billion at both December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022, and $2.0 billion at December 31, 2021. At December 31, 2022, noninterest bearing deposits totaled $773.3 million, or 37.1% of total deposits, compared to $813.5 million, or 38.5% of total deposits at September 30, 2022, and $710.1 million, or 35.8% of total deposits at December 31, 2021.

At both December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, the Company had outstanding junior subordinated debt, net of marked-to-market adjustments, related to junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures assumed in connection with its previous acquisitions totaling $8.5 million, compared to $8.4 million at December 31, 2021. At both December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, the Company also had outstanding subordinated debt, net of costs to issue, totaling $63.7 million compared to $63.5 million at December 31, 2021.

At December 31, 2022, September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no other borrowings outstanding.

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity totaled $317.1 million at December 31, 2022, compared to $314.4 million at September 30, 2022, and $262.6 million at December 31, 2021. The increase from the prior period of 2022 reflects net income earned during the quarter, offset by repurchases of $4.2 million of common stock and $644,000 of accrued cash dividends payable for the quarter. In addition, shareholder’s equity was adversely impacted by increased unrealized losses on available for sale securities reflecting the increase in market interest rates during the current quarter, resulting in a $481,000 increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax. At December 31, 2022, 480,773 shares remained available for future purchases under the current stock repurchase plan.

In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change.

There are a number of important factors that could cause future results to differ materially from historical performance and these forward-looking statements. Factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated or implied by our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, potential adverse impacts to economic conditions in our local market areas, other markets where the Company has lending relationships, or other aspects of the Company’s business operations or financial markets, including, without limitation, as a result of employment levels, labor shortages and the effects of inflation, a potential recession or slowed economic growth caused by increasing political instability from acts of war including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, as well as increasing prices and supply chain disruptions, and any governmental or societal responses to new COVID-19 variants; expected revenues, cost savings, synergies and other benefits from our recent acquisition of PEB might not be realized within the expected time frames or at all and costs or difficulties relating to integration matters, including but not limited to customer and employee retention, might be greater than expected; future acquisitions by the Company of other depository institutions or lines of business; future acquisitions by the Company of other depository institutions or lines of business; fluctuations in interest rates, including the effects of inflation; the risks of lending and investing activities, including changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses; the Company’s ability to access cost-effective funding; fluctuations in real estate values and both residential and commercial real estate market conditions; demand for loans and deposits in the Company’s market area; increased competitive pressures; changes in management’s business strategies; and other factors described in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that are available on our website at www.unitedbusinessbank.com and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

The factors listed above could materially affect the Company’s financial performance and could cause the Company’s actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements.

The Company does not undertake – and specifically declines any obligation – to publicly release the result of any revisions, which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated eventswhether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law or NASDAQ rules. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind these risks and uncertainties. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement, which speaks only as of the date made.

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 the tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP financial measure. 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 common shareholders’ equity is calculated by excluding intangible assets from shareholders’ equity. For this financial measure, the Company’s intangible assets are goodwill and core deposit intangibles. The Company believes that this measure is consistent with the capital treatment by our bank regulatory agencies, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios, and presents this measure to facilitate comparison of the quality and composition of the Company’s capital over time in comparison to its competitors. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Further, these non-GAAP financial measure 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 a similarly titled measure reported by other companies.

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

Territorial Bancorp Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter 2022 Results

  • Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was $3.45 million compared to $4.20 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021.
  • The Company announced its twelfth share repurchase program during the three months ended December 31, 2022.
  • Our corporate headquarters was relocated because of a more favorable lease.
  • Territorial Bancorp Inc. paid a special dividend of $0.10 per share in the fourth quarter of 2022. The total dividends per share paid in 2022 amount to $1.02 per share.
  • The Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.23 per share, representing Territorial Bancorp Inc.’s 53rd consecutive quarterly dividend.

HONOLULU, Jan. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Territorial Bancorp Inc. (NASDAQ: TBNK) (the “Company”), headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii, the holding company parent of Territorial Savings Bank, announced net income of $3.45 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2022.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.23 per share. The dividend is expected to be paid on February 23, 2023 to stockholders of record as of February 9, 2023.

Allan Kitagawa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “While 2022’s, and likely 2023’s, interest rate environment makes it challenging, we expect that our strong capital and solid asset quality will sustain us through this cycle. We have been through many different interest rate cycles over the years and believe that our capital and asset quality positions will continue to be important to our constituencies. For our shareholders, we are proud to have announced our twelfth repurchase program during the December quarter as well as paying a special dividend. We will continue to look for areas to enhance shareholder value, such as our recent corporate headquarters move to less expensive space, as we move forward.”

Interest Income

Net interest income decreased by $600,000 to $13.27 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 from $13.87 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. Total interest income was $16.22 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to $15.17 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The $1.06 million increase in total interest income was primarily due to a $1.20 million increase in interest earned on investment securities. The increase in interest income on investment securities resulted from a $109.64 million increase in the average securities balance together with a 34 basis point increase in the average securities yield. The increase in interest income on investment securities was partially offset by a $312,000 decrease in interest income on loans. The decrease in interest income on loans occurred because of a $7.33 million decrease in the average loan balance which occurred as loan repayments exceeded new loan originations. The decrease in the average loan portfolio balance was augmented by an eight basis point decrease in the average loan yield.

Interest Expense and Provision for Loan Losses

Total interest expense increased by $1.66 million to $2.95 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 from $1.29 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. Interest expense on deposits increased by $1.62 million to $2.35 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 from $724,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The increase in interest expense on deposits was primarily due to a 127 basis point increase in the average cost of certificates of deposit (CD) and a $143.95 million increase in the average CD balance. The increase in the average cost of CDs occurred as interest rates were raised in response to the increase in market interest rates. The increase in the average balance of CDs occurred as customers transferred balances from lower rate savings accounts to higher rate CDs.

The Company established a loan loss provision of $27,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to a $140,000 reversal of loan loss provisions for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The reversal of the loan loss provisions during the three months ended December 31, 2021 occurred primarily because of the decreases in the size of the mortgage loan portfolio, Hawaii’s unemployment rate and the amount of loans in the payment deferral program, all of which contributed to the reduction in the allowance for loan losses.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $1.17 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to $1.28 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to a $181,000 decrease in service fees on loans and deposit accounts and a $79,000 decrease in the gain on the sale of loans. The decrease in service fees on loans and deposit accounts occurred because of a decline in the fees earned for referring mortgage loans to other financial institutions and mortgage brokers. The decrease in the gain on sale of loans occurred as fewer mortgage loans were sold. The decreases in service fees on loan and deposit accounts and in the gains on sale of loans were partially offset by a $155,000 increase in other income. The increase in other income included a $62,000 increase in commissions from the sale of annuities and a $133,000 increase in other non-interest income as an increase in the return on assets in the Company’s defined benefit pension plan and a reduction in the interest costs on the benefit obligation reduced the pension cost for the year. 

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $9.90 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to $9.56 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. Salaries and employee benefits rose by $226,000 to $5.74 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 from $5.52 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The increase in salaries and employee benefits is due to a reduction in the credit to compensation expense for the cost of closing new mortgage loans. The reduction in the credit to compensation expense occurred as fewer mortgage loans were closed in the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the same period last year. Occupancy expenses increased by $153,000 to $1.78 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 from $1.63 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to moving expenses incurred in relocating the corporate headquarters. The corporate headquarters were relocated because of a more favorable lease.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was $1.08 million with an effective tax rate of 23.91% compared to $1.54 million with an effective tax rate of 26.87% for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily due to a $1.21 million decrease in income before taxes during the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021. The decrease in the effective tax rate occurred when the Company adjusted income tax expense in the fourth quarter because of changes in prior year tax estimates.

Balance Sheet

Total assets were $2.17 billion at December 31, 2022 and $2.13 billion at December 31, 2021. Loans receivable, including loans held for sale, decreased by $8.06 million to $1.29 billion at December 31, 2022 from $1.30 billion at December 31, 2021. The decrease in loans receivable occurred as loan repayments and sales exceeded new loan originations. Investment securities, including available for sale securities, increased by $102.15 million to $738.59 million at December 31, 2022 from $636.44 million at December 31, 2021. The increase in investment securities occurred as the purchase of new mortgage-backed securities exceeded principal repayments. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $59.31 million to $40.55 million at December 31, 2022 from $99.86 million at December 31, 2021. Deposits rose by $34.32 million from $1.68 billion at December 31, 2021 to $1.72 billion at December 31, 2022. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents and the proceeds from the increase in deposits were used to purchase investment securities. Total stockholders’ equity increased to $256.55 million at December 31, 2022 from $256.32 million at December 31, 2021. The increase in stockholders’ equity occurred primarily because the Company’s net income and the increase in capital from the allocation of ESOP shares exceeded dividends paid to shareholders and share repurchases.

Capital Management

In 2022, the Company completed its eleventh share repurchase program and also started its twelfth share repurchase program. Through December 31, 2022, the Company has repurchased 4,167,071 shares in all of its share repurchase programs. The shares repurchased represent 34.06% of the total shares issued in its initial public offering. The Company intends to continue to enhance shareholder value through the use of capital to support its dividends, both regular and/or special, as well as its share repurchase program.

Asset Quality

The Company had $559,000 of delinquent mortgage loans 90 days or more past due at December 31, 2022 compared to $244,000 of delinquent mortgage loans 90 days or more past due at December 31, 2021. Non-performing assets totaled $2.30 million at December 31, 2022 compared to $3.28 million at December 31, 2021. The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 0.11% at December 31, 2022 and 0.15% at December 31, 2021. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2022 was $2.03 million and represented 0.16% of total loans compared to $2.67 million and 0.20% of total loans as of December 31, 2021.

Colony Bankcorp Reports Fourth Quarter and Year Ended 2022 Results

Colony Bankcorp Reports Fourth Quarter and Year Ended 2022 Results

Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.11 Per Share

FITZGERALD, Ga.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Colony Bankcorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: CBAN) (“Colony” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter of 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2022. Financial highlights are shown below.

Financial Highlights:

  • Net income increased to $5.6 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $5.3 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2022, and $4.2 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2021.
  • Operating net income of $5.6 million, or $0.31 per diluted share remained stable for the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to $5.3 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2022, and $5.2 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2021 (see Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures).
  • The tax rate for the quarter was meaningfully lower than trend due to the Company’s $500,000 contribution in a Georgia tax credit program with local hospitals. The tax rate for 2023 is estimated to be 18%.
  • Provision for loan losses of $900,000 was recorded in fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2022, and $50,000 recorded in fourth quarter of 2021.
  • Total loans were $1.74 billion at December 31, 2022, an increase of $150.5 million, or 9.49% from the prior quarter.
  • Mortgage production was $92.6 million, and mortgage sales totaled $38.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $99.4 million and $68.5 million, respectively, for the third quarter of 2022. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, mortgage production was $402.9 million and mortgage sales totaled $280.1 million.
  • Small Business Specialty Lending (“SBSL”) closed $29.0 million in Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans and sold $18.0 million in SBA loans in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $19.4 million and $14.8 million, respectively, for the third quarter of 2022. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, SBA loans closed were $75.1 million and SBA loans sold were $64.5 million.

The Company also announced that on January 26, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share, to be paid on its common stock on February 23, 2023, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 9, 2023. The Company had 17,598,123 shares of its common stock outstanding as of January 25, 2023.

In addition, the Company announced today that Terry L. Hester passed away on January 22, 2023. Terry began his career with Colony in 1978 and served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at the time of his retirement in 2019. He was currently serving on the Board of Directors of the Company.

Today the Company also announced that Chief Financial Officer Andy Borrmann is leaving the Company to pursue other career opportunities. The Company has appointed Chief Executive Officer T. Heath Fountain to the additional role of Acting Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and current Chief Accounting Officer, Derek Shelnutt to the additional role of Acting Chief Financial Officer of Colony Bank. Shelnutt joined the Company in September of 2020, and has served in many roles in the treasury and finance areas, including Controller and Treasurer, before being named Chief Accounting Officer in May of 2022. He is a Certified Public Accountant and has experience in both banking and public accounting. The Company has initiated a search process for a new Chief Financial Officer.

Fountain continued, “I would like to thank Andy Borrmann for his contributions to the Company since joining us in 2021 through the SouthCrest merger. Andy has contributed significantly to our success, and we wish him well in his future endeavors.”

Commenting on today’s announcement, Heath Fountain, Chief Executive Officer, said, “We were also saddened to learn the recent news of the passing of our director Terry Hester. Our deepest sympathies go out to his family. Terry’s hard work ethic and dedication will leave a long lasting impact on the Colony team. He will be sorely missed by his colleagues in the Company and throughout the banking industry.”

Fountain added, “We are pleased to announce improved results for the 4th quarter of 2022. We continued to experience strong loan growth during the quarter. Our mortgage team also continued to deliver strong production, despite the higher interest environment we experienced in the late third and early fourth quarters. However, as mortgage rates rose, adjustable rate portfolio loan products became more attractive, and our production efforts shifted more toward this portfolio, meaningfully decreasing our secondary market production and thus our gain on sales revenue included within mortgage fee income for the quarter.”

“Earnings quality has also improved during the year, with 93% of our year to date earnings coming from the core bank as compared to 75% in 2021 and 2020. Investments in new lines of business continued to be a short term drag on earnings, reducing our return on assets by approximately 6 basis points in the fourth quarter and 4 basis points year to date.”

“Net interest margin decreased slightly during the quarter as we funded some of our loan growth with higher cost borrowings. We are pleased that we were able to grow core deposits during the quarter 2.5% in a very challenging rate environment. We have placed our bankers’ focus on growing deposits, and we believe our strong retail banking center footprint, combined with our enhanced calling efforts, can continue to profitably fund our loan growth.”

“We expect loan growth to slow considerably in the coming quarters, and should be more in line with our long term goal of 8 – 12% by the second half of the year. We are seeing our loan pipelines decrease as we continue to increase loan pricing, maintain strong credit standards and shift our focus away from commercial real estate lending. We continued to see strong asset quality, as nonperforming loans to total loans remained stable and levels of criticized and classified loans decreased.”

Balance Sheet

  • Total assets were $2.94 billion at December 31, 2022, an increase of $130.7 million from September 30, 2022.
  • Total loans, including loans held for sale, were at $1.75 billion at December 31, 2022, an increase of $144.3 million from the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
  • Total deposits were $2.49 billion and $2.41 billion at December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively, an increase of $81.3 million.
  • Total borrowings at December 31, 2022 totaled $203.4 million, an increase of $45.0 million or, 28.4%, compared to September 30, 2022 related to additional Federal Home Loan Bank advances and borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank.

Capital

  • Colony continues to maintain a strong capital position, with ratios that exceed regulatory minimums required to be considered as “well-capitalized.”
  • Preliminary tier one leverage ratio, tier one capital ratio, total risk-based capital ratio and common equity tier one capital ratio were 9.21%, 12.54%, 15.16%, and 11.39%, respectively, at December 31, 2022.

Fourth Quarter and December 31, 2022 Year to Date Results of Operations

  • Net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, for the fourth quarter of 2022 totaled $21.5 million, compared to $19.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. Net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 totaled $81.1 million, compared to $66.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021. The increase during the quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021 is primarily attributable to increases in loan volume and purchases of investment securities, offset by increases in deposit rates and increases in borrowings to fund loan growth.
  • Net interest margin for the quarter increased 7 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2021. This is primarily due to the purchase of higher yielding investment securities and an increase in rates paid on deposits with the Federal Reserve, partially offset by an increase in deposit rates and volume along with an increase in borrowings. Net interest margin for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 decreased 19 basis points from the twelve months ended December 31, 2021. The decrease is the result of increased deposit rates along with an increase in borrowings.
  • Noninterest income totaled $7.7 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of $3.1 million, or 28.9%, compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in mortgage fee income and SBSL loan sales. Noninterest income totaled $35.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 3.4%, compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in mortgage fee income and SBSL loan sales, offset by growth in interchange fee income, service charges on deposits and insurance commissions.
  • Noninterest expense totaled $21.8 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to $24.5 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease was attributable to acquisition costs in the prior period as well as a decrease in salaries. Noninterest expense totaled $89.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $78.6 million for the same period in 2021. The increase for the twelve month period was primarily related to increases in salaries and information technology related to the acquisition of SouthCrest Financial Group, Inc. (“SouthCrest”) in August of 2021.

Asset Quality

  • Nonperforming assets totaled $6.4 million and $5.5 million at December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively, an increase of $813,000.
  • Other real estate owned and repossessed assets totaled approximately $651,000 at December 31, 2022, and $246,000 at September 30, 2022, an increase of $405,000.
  • Net loans charged-off were $154,000, or 0.04% of average loans for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to net charge-offs of $198,000 or 0.05% for the third quarter of 2022.
  • The loan loss reserve was $16.1 million, or 0.93% of total loans, at December 31, 2022, compared to $15.2 million, or 0.96% of total loans at September 30, 2022, and $12.9 million, or 0.96% of total loans, at December 31, 2021.

As noted above and in the table on page 8, overall asset quality remains strong.

Stock Buyback Authorization

On October 20, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a stock buyback program, under which the Company may repurchase up to $12 million of its outstanding common stock. Repurchases under this program may be made from time to time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or such other manners as will comply with applicable laws and regulations. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, market conditions and other corporate liquidity requirements and priorities. The buyback program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares and there is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased by the Company. The buyback program is intended to expire at the end of 2023 but may be suspended, modified or terminated by the Company at any time and for any reason, without prior notice. As of December 31, 2022, 40,000 shares had been repurchased at a price of $13.50, leaving $11.5 million available for future repurchase.

Explanation of Certain Unaudited Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The measures entitled operating net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, tangible book value per common share, tangible equity to tangible assets, operating efficiency ratio and pre-provision net revenue are not measures recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and therefore are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The most comparable GAAP measures are net income, diluted earnings per share, book value per common share, total equity to total assets, efficiency ratio, and net interest income before provision for credit losses, respectively. Operating net income and operating efficiency ratio both exclude acquisition-related expenses. Acquisition-related expenses include fees associated with current period acquisitions and ongoing amortization of intangibles related to prior acquisitions. Adjusted earnings per diluted share includes the adjustments to operating net income. Tangible book value per common share and tangible equity to tangible assets exclude goodwill and other intangibles. Pre-provision net revenue is calculated by adding noninterest income to net interest income before provision for credit losses, and subtracting noninterest expense.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance and believes these presentations provide useful supplemental information, and a clearer understanding of the Company’s performance, and if not provided would be requested by the investor community. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures enhance investors’ understanding of the Company’s business and performance. These measures are also useful in understanding performance trends and facilitate comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. The limitations associated with operating measures are the risk that persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items comprising these measures and that different companies might calculate these measures differently.

These disclosures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. The computations of operating net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, tangible book value per common share, tangible equity to tangible assets, operating efficiency ratio, and pre-provision net revenue and the reconciliation of these measures to net income, diluted earnings per share, book value per common share, total equity to total assets, efficiency ratio, and net interest income before provision for credit losses are set forth in the table below.

California BanCorp Reports Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter and Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2022

OAKLAND, Calif., Jan. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — California BanCorp (NASDAQ: CALB), whose subsidiary is California Bank of Commerce, announced today its financial results for the fourth quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2022.

The Company reported net income of $7.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, representing an increase of $2.2 million, or 39%, compared to $5.5 million for the third quarter of 2022 and an increase of $4.5 million, or 141%, compared to $3.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, net income was $21.1 million, representing an increase of $7.7 million, or 58%, compared to $13.4 million for the same period in 2021.

Diluted earnings per share of $0.91 for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $0.66 for the third quarter of 2022 and $0.38 for the fourth quarter of 2021.   For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, diluted earnings per share of $2.51 compared to $1.61 for the same period in 2021.

“Our fourth quarter performance completed another strong year of continuing the growth of our client roster, realizing more operating leverage, and increasing our level of profitability,” said Steven Shelton, Chief Executive Officer of California BanCorp. “Given the potential for an economic slowdown in 2023, we have become more selective with our loan production; however, we continue to develop new relationships with high quality commercial clients. As a result, during the fourth quarter we experienced significant growth in both noninterest-bearing deposits and total deposits. At year-end, noninterest-bearing deposits represented 45% of our total deposits which allowed us to maintain a lower cost of funds and create additional expansion in our net interest margin, as well as contribute to our increasing level of profitability.   As we further execute our strategy of building a franchise based upon a stable low-cost deposit base and a conservatively underwritten and well-diversified loan portfolio, we believe the Company is positioned to continue generating strong financial performance for our shareholders.   Over the longer term, and as economic conditions improve, our strong commercial banking team’s ability to generate attractive lending opportunities will further result in higher levels of revenue, more operating leverage, and profitable growth for our franchise.”

Financial Highlights:

Profitability – three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to September 30, 2022

  • Net income of $7.7 million and $0.91 per diluted share, compared to $5.5 million and $0.66 per share, respectively.
  • Revenue of $23.8 million increased $4.0 million, or 20%, compared to $19.8 million for the third quarter of 2022.
  • Net interest income of $21.9 million benefited from higher earning assets during the fourth quarter of 2022 combined with the rising rate environment and the acceleration of an unamortized discount totaling $1.4 million related to the repayment of previously purchased loans.
  • Provision for loan losses of $1.1 million increased $300,000, or 38%, primarily as a result of continued adjustments in the qualitative reserve assessment in response to general macroeconomic changes, combined with growth in the real estate other loan portfolio.
  • Non-interest income of $2.0 million increased $478,000, or 32%, primarily due to loan related fees.
  • Non-interest expense, excluding capitalized loan origination costs, of $12.7 million increased $354,000, or 3%, compared to $12.3 million for the third quarter of 2022 primarily as a result of increased salary and benefit expense related to the continued growth of the business, combined with increases in item processing and business development expenses.

Profitability – twelve months ended December 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021

  • Net income of $21.1 million and $2.51 per diluted share, compared to $13.4 million and $1.61 per diluted share, respectively.
  • Revenue of $78.3 million increased $19.4 million, or 33%, compared to $58.9 million in the prior year.
  • Net interest income of $71.0 million benefited from a more favorable mix of earning assets combined with the rising rate environment, partially offset by the recognition of net fees from Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans declining by $3.8 million from the prior year.
  • Provision for loan losses increased $3.8 million primarily due to growth in the loan portfolio combined with a release of reserves in 2021 as a result of the continued assessment of qualitative reserves regarding the general macroeconomic changes related to COVID-19 as it pertained to our overall loan portfolio.
  • Non-interest income of $7.4 million increased $3.2 million, or 77%, primarily due to a gain recognized on the sale of a portion of our solar loan portfolio during the first quarter of 2022 combined with an increase in service charges and other fees resulting from growth in the Company’s client base.
  • Non-interest expense, excluding capitalized loan origination costs, of $48.8 million compared to $46.0 million for the same period in the prior year, reflecting the Company’s investment in infrastructure to support the continued growth of the Company.

Financial Position – December 31, 2022 compared to September 30, 2022

  • Total assets decreased by $6.3 million to $2.04 billion; average total assets increased by $158.0 million to $2.09 billion.
  • Gross loans increased by $5.5 million to $1.59 billion; average gross loans increased by $97.9 million to $1.62 billion.
  • Deposits increased by $82.7 million to $1.79 billion; average deposits increased by $193.6 million to $1.79 billion.

  • Tangible book value per share of $19.78 increased by $0.98, or 5%.

Net Interest Income and Margin:

Net interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 was $21.9 million, an increase of $3.5 million, or 19%, from $18.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and an increase of $7.9 million, or 57%, from $14.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. The increase in net interest income compared to the third quarter of 2022 was primarily attributable to growth of the loan portfolio and an increase in net interest margin related to the rising interest rate environment. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2022 commercial loans totaling $57.9 million that were previously purchased at a discount were paid off, resulting in the remaining unamortized discount of $1.4 million being accelerated into interest income. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, the increase in net interest income resulted from a more favorable mix of earning assets which benefited from the rising rate environment and the accelerated recognition of the discount related to the repayment of previously purchased loans, partially offset by a $684,000 reduction in the amortization of net fees received on PPP loans.

Net interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 was $71.0 million, an increase of $16.3 million, or 30%, over $54.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021. The increase in net interest income was primarily attributable to an increase in interest income as the result of a more favorable mix of earning assets combined with higher yields on those assets and the accelerated recognition of the discount related to the repayment of previously purchased loans, partially offset by a $3.8 million reduction in the amortization of net fees received on PPP loans.

The Company’s net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 4.32%, compared to 3.94% for the third quarter of 2022 and 2.81% for the same period in 2021. The increase in margin compared to the prior quarter and the fourth quarter of 2021 was primarily due to growth in the loan portfolio and increased yields on earning assets, partially offset by an increase in the cost of deposits and other borrowings.

The Company’s net interest margin for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 was 3.79%, compared to 2.89% for the same period in 2021.   The increase in margin compared to prior year was primarily due to a more favorable mix of higher yielding earning assets, partially offset by an increase in the cost of deposits and other borrowings and a reduction in the amortization of net fees received on PPP loans.

Non-Interest Income:

The Company’s non-interest income for the quarters ended December 31, 2022, September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021 was $2.0 million, $1.5 million, and $994,000, respectively. The increase in non-interest income from the prior periods was primarily due to an increase in service charges and loan related fees.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, non-interest income of $7.4 million compared to $4.2 million for the same period of 2021. The increase in non-interest income from prior year was the result of an increase in service charges and loan related fees, as well as a gain of $1.4 million recognized on the sale of a portion of our solar loan portfolio.

Net interest income and non-interest income comprised total revenue of $23.8 million, $19.8 million, and $15.0 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2022, September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. Total revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $78.3 million and $58.9 million, respectively.

Non-Interest Expense:

The Company’s non-interest expense for the quarters ended December 31, 2022, September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021 was $11.7 million, $11.2 million, and $10.0 million, respectively. The increase in non-interest expense from the prior periods was primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits related to investments to support the continued growth of the business, combined with increases in item processing and business development expenses. Excluding capitalized loan origination costs, non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2022, the third quarter of 2022 and the fourth quarter of 2021 was $12.7 million, $12.3 million, and $11.6 million, respectively.

Non-interest expense of $44.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 compared to $40.4 million for the same period of 2021. Excluding capitalized loan origination costs, non-interest expense was $48.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and $46.0 million for the same period in 2021 which reflects the Company’s investment in infrastructure to support the continued growth of the Company.

The Company’s efficiency ratio, the ratio of non-interest expense to revenues, was 49.17%, 56.52%, and 66.90% for the quarters ended December 31, 2022, September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s efficiency ratio was 57.01% and 68.65%, respectively.

Balance Sheet:

Total assets of $2.04 billion as of December 31, 2022, represented a decrease of $6.3 million compared to $2.05 billion at September 30, 2022, and increased $27.2 million compared to total assets of $2.0 billion at December 31, 2021. The decrease in total assets from the prior quarter was primarily due to decreased liquidity related to the payoff of other borrowings, combined with modest growth of the loan portfolio. Compared to the same period in the prior year, the Company had strong loan growth in the commercial and real estate other portfolios, which was partially offset by decreased liquidity resulting from the outflow of deposits related to forgiveness of PPP loans and the payoff of other borrowings.  

Total gross loans were $1.59 billion at December 31, 2022 and September 20, 2022, compared to $1.38 billion at December 31, 2021. During the fourth quarter of 2022, real estate other loans increased by $23.4 million, or 3%, due to organic growth, partially offset by decreases in commercial, real estate construction and land, and SBA loans related to the ordinary course of business. Year-over-year, commercial and real estate other loans increased by $160.3 million, or 34%, and $151.0 million, or 22%, respectively, due to organic growth. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in SBA loans of $74.2 million, or 91%, primarily due to PPP loan forgiveness, and a decrease in other loans of $40.9 million, or 51%, due to the sale of a portion of the solar loan portfolio.

Total deposits increased by $82.7 million, or 5%, to $1.79 billion at December 31, 2022 from $1.71 billion at September 30, 2022, and increased by $111.6 million, or 7%, from $1.68 billion at December 31, 2021. The increase in total deposits from the end of the third quarter of 2022 was primarily due to an increase in non-interest bearing demand deposits of $53.0 million and money market and savings deposits of $73.8 million, partially offset by a decrease in time deposits of $46.7 million as a result of reduced reliance on brokered certificates of deposits. Compared to the same period last year, the increase in total deposits was primarily concentrated in non-interest bearing demand deposits and time deposits, partially offset by a reduction in money market and savings deposits as a result of outflows related to forgiveness of PPP loans. Non-interest bearing deposits, primarily commercial business operating accounts, represented 45.3% of total deposits at December 31, 2022, compared to 44.4% at September 30, 2022 and 45.9% at December 31, 2021.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no outstanding borrowings, excluding junior subordinated debt securities, compared to $100.0 million and $106.4 million of outstanding borrowings as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Asset Quality:

The provision for credit losses increased to $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $800,000 for the third quarter of 2022 and $504,000 for the fourth quarter of 2021. The Company had net loan charge-offs of $650,000, or 0.04% of gross loans, during the fourth quarter of 2022 and $202,000, or 0.01% of gross loans, during the third quarter of 2022.   The Company had net loan recoveries of $6,000, or 0.00% of gross loans, during the fourth quarter of 2021.

Non-performing assets (“NPAs”) to total assets were 0.06% at December 31, 2022, compared to 0.02% at September 30, 2022 and 0.01% at December 31, 2021, with non-performing loans of $1.3 million, $343,000 and $232,000, respectively, on those dates.

The allowance for loan losses was $17.0 million, or 1.07% of total loans, at December 31, 2022, compared to $16.6 million, or 1.04% of total loans, at September 30, 2022 and $14.1 million, or 1.02% of total loans, at December 31, 2021.   

Capital Adequacy:

At December 31, 2022, shareholders’ equity totaled $172.3 million compared to $164.1 million at September 30, 2022 and $150.8 million one year ago. Additionally, at December 31, 2022, the Company’s total risk-based capital ratio, tier one capital ratio, and leverage ratio were 11.78%, 8.23%, and 7.98%, respectively; all of which were above the regulatory standards of 10.00%, 8.00%, and 5.00%, respectively, for “well-capitalized” institutions.

“Our strong financial performance and effective balance sheet management resulted in further growth of our tangible book value per share to $19.78, representing an increase of 5.2% from the prior quarter,” said Thomas A. Sa, President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of California BanCorp   “During the fourth quarter, we successfully completed financing transactions in support of sponsor-backed clients’ evolving needs which resulted in nonrecurring fees of $1.4 million contributing to net interest income. Further, our ability to lead these transactions opportunistically enabled us to enhance capital accretion and reduce overall credit exposure.  These transactions combined with our strong core financial performance throughout 2022 resulted in a total equity to total assets ratio of 8.43% at year-end, representing an increase of 95 basis points from the prior year. We believe that our strong capital ratios position us well to effectively manage through potential economic uncertainty during 2023 while continuing to support the growth of our franchise over the longer term.”

Those risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risk of incurring loan losses, which is an inherent risk of the banking business; the risk that the Company will not be able to continue its internal growth rate; uncertainties related to the coronavirus pandemic; the impact of higher inflation rates; the risk that the United States economy will experience slowed growth or recession or will be adversely affected by domestic or international economic conditions and risks associated with the Federal Reserve Board taking actions with respect to interest rates, any of which could adversely affect, among other things, the values of real estate collateral supporting many of the Company’s loans, loan demand, interest income and interest rate margins and, therefore, the Company’s future operating results; risks associated with changes in income tax laws and regulations; and risks associated with seeking new client relationships and maintaining existing client relationships. Readers of this news release are encouraged to review the additional information regarding these and other risks and uncertainties to which our business is subject that are contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 which is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Additional information will be set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which we expect to file with the SEC during the first quarter of 2023, and readers of this release are urged to review the additional information that will be contained in that report.

Due to these and other possible uncertainties and risks, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this news release, which speak only as of today’s date, or to make predictions based solely on historical financial performance. The Company disclaims any obligation to update forward-looking statements contained in this news release, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

OneSpan to Acquire Blockchain Technology Provider ProvenDB to Bring Secure Vaulting to the Future of Digital Transactions

OneSpan to Acquire Blockchain Technology Provider ProvenDB to Bring Secure Vaulting to the Future of Digital Transactions

Acquisition will serve as a foundational architecturefor future blockchain-based digital transaction solutions for Web3

CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
OneSpan Inc. (NASDAQ: OSPN), the digital agreements security company, today announced that it has agreed to acquire ProvenDB, an Australia-based startup that delivers secure storage and vaulting for documents based on blockchain technology, to provide an industry-leading trust model for high assurance contracts and documents. ProvenDB will extend the capabilities of OneSpan’s Transaction Cloud Platform to both public and private blockchains and serve as a modern technological foundation for high assurance business processes for Web3.

ProvenDB has been at the forefront of developing secure storage, leveraging blockchain technology that adds a layer of security to prevent data tampering or alteration of documents. When information is added to ProvenDB, digital signatures are created and posted to an immutable public blockchain. ProvenDB’s secure storage and vaulting solutions provide proof of the integrity, ownership and creation date of critical information.

OneSpan continues to execute its mission to deliver easy and secure customer experiences that ensure the integrity behind digital transactions and agreements. With this acquisition, OneSpan plans to combine ProvenDB’s technology with OneSpan’s Transaction Cloud Platform to provide an integrated end-to-end assurance model which includes a secure repository for documents and artifacts that require the highest levels of compliance and assurance. This highly complementary acquisition expands OneSpan’s addressable market, solves customers’ secure vaulting needs, and accelerates OneSpan’s leadership in securing digital agreements throughout the customer transaction lifecycle.

“Digital artifacts are simply too easy to fabricate, tamper, or delete in the era of Web3 leading to security breaches and loss of trust in digital information. In this world of evidence tampering and deep fakes, it is critical that we have non-repudiation and copies of the original artifact with an immutable chain of custody throughout the entire customer journey,” said Matthew Moynahan, President and CEO at OneSpan. “Securing business processes end-to-end leveraging blockchain technology will play an increasingly critical role in preserving the integrity of digital transactions and agreements to fuel this modern digital era. We have an ambitious plan to disrupt the digital agreement market and ProvenDB will accelerate that plan. OneSpan’s mission, the focus of our entire go-to-market strategy, is to restore trust and confidence in today’s most critical customer experiences, such as revenue-generating transactions or customer and vendor onboarding, and ensure that their integrity is never in question.”

“OneSpan’s expertise in digital identity and agreements married with ProvenDB’s blockchain-backed storage solutions will enable a paradigm shift in trust and integrity for digital agreements,” said Guy Harrison, CTO at ProvenDB. “We are excited to join OneSpan to bring our technology to the digital agreement market.”

“We are thrilled to announce the acquisition of ProvenDB by OneSpan,” said Vinny Smith, Managing Partner at Toba Capital. “This union brings together two industry leaders in their respective fields, resulting in a powerful combination that will revolutionize how businesses create trustworthy digital agreements. We have no doubt that ProvenDB’s cutting-edge blockchain technology, paired with OneSpan’s expertise in digital identity and authentication, will set a new standard for digital integrity and trust. We look forward to seeing the impact this acquisition will have on the industry.”

Terms of the agreement were not disclosed, and the transaction is anticipated to close during the first quarter of 2023, subject to customary closing conditions.
