CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain matters set forth herein (including any exhibits hereto) constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including forward-looking statements relating to the Company’s current business plans and expectations regarding future operating results. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, the use of forward-looking language, such as “likely result in,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “projects,” “intends to,” or may include other similar words or phrases, such as “believes,” “plans,” “trend,” “objective,” “continues,” “remains,” or similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs, such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “can,” or similar verbs. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those projected. These risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control, include, but are not limited to:

•current and future business, economic and market conditions in the United States generally or in the communities we serve, including the effects of declines in property values and overall slowdowns in economic growth should these events occur;

•inflationary pressures and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins and yields, the fair value of financial instruments or our level of loan originations, or increase the level of defaults, losses and prepayments on loans we have made and make, whether held in the portfolio or in the secondary market;

•effects of and changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including the interest rate policies of the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve Board;

•geopolitical and domestic political developments that can increase levels of political and economic unpredictability, contribute to rising energy and commodity prices, and increase the volatility of financial markets;

•changes in the level of nonperforming assets and charge offs and other credit quality measures, and their impact on the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses and our provision for credit losses;

•factors that can impact the performance of our loan portfolio, including real estate values and liquidity in our primary market areas, the financial health of our commercial borrowers, and the success of construction projects that we finance;

•our ability to achieve loan growth and attract deposits in our market area, the impact of the cost of deposits and our ability to retain deposits;

•liquidity issues, including fluctuations in the fair value and liquidity of the securities we hold for sale and our ability to raise additional capital, if necessary;

•continued or increasing competition from other financial institutions, credit unions, and non-bank financial services companies, many of which are subject to different regulations than we are;

•challenges arising from unsuccessful attempts to expand into new geographic markets, products, or services;

•restraints on the ability of Community West Bank to pay dividends to us, which could limit our liquidity;

•increased capital requirements imposed by banking regulators, which may require us to raise capital at a time when capital is not available on favorable terms or at all;

•inaccuracies in our assumptions about future events, which could result in material differences between our financial projections and actual financial performance;

•changes in our management personnel or our inability to retain, motivate and hire qualified management personnel;

•disruptions, security breaches, or other adverse events, failures or interruptions in, or attacks on, our information technology systems;

•disruptions, security breaches, or other adverse events affecting the third-party vendors who perform several of our critical processing functions;

•an inability to keep pace with the rate of technological advances due to a lack of resources to invest in new technologies;

•risks related to the proposed merger with Community West Bancshares, including, among others, conditions to the closing of the merger may not be satisfied; the expected business expansion may be less successful as projected; the integration of each party’s management, personnel and operations may not be successfully achieved or may be materially delayed or may be more costly or difficult than expected, deposit attrition, customer or employee loss and/or revenue loss as a result of the announcement of the proposed merger, and expenses related to the proposed merger may be greater than expected;

•natural disasters, such as earthquakes, drought, pandemic diseases (such as the coronavirus) or extreme weather events, any of which may affect services we use or affect our customers, employees or third parties with which we conduct business;

•compliance with governmental and regulatory requirements, relating to banking, consumer protection, securities and tax matters; and

•our ability to the manage the foregoing.

3

The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with the other cautionary statements included in this report. Because of these risks and other uncertainties, our actual future results, performance or achievement, or industry results, may be materially different from the results indicated by the forward looking statements in this report. In addition, our past results of operations are not necessarily indicative of our future results. You should not rely on any forward looking statements, which represent our beliefs, assumptions and estimates only as of the dates on which they were made, as predictions of future events. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. Further information on other factors that could affect the financial results of the Company are included in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2024

(Unaudited)

Note 1. 

Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Community West Bancshares and subsidiary have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). These interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Community West Bancshares and its wholly owned subsidiary Community West Bank (the Bank) (collectively, the Company). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been omitted. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at June 30, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three and six month interim periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment and Significant Group Concentration of Credit Risk

Management has determined that since all of the banking products and services offered by the Company are available in each branch of the Bank, all branches are located within the same economic environment, and management does not allocate resources based on the performance of different lending or transaction activities, it is appropriate to aggregate the Bank branches and report them as a single operating segment. No customer accounts for more than 10 percent of revenues for the Company or the Bank.

Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - In March 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance within Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-01, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards. The amendments in the ASU apply to companies that provide employees and non-employees with profits interest and similar awards to align compensation with the company’s operating performance and provide those holders with the opportunity to participate in future profits and/or equity appreciation of the company. The purpose of the ASU is to clarify the application of the scope guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) paragraph 718-10-15-3 in determining if a profit interest award should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718: Compensation—Stock Compensation. The amendment in ASC paragraph 718-10-15-3 is solely intended to improve the overall clarity and does not change the guidance.

The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. If the Company adopts the amendments in an interim period, it should adopt them as of the beginning of the annual period that includes the interim period. The amendments should be applied either (1) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements or (2) on a prospective basis. The Company has evaluated this ASU and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, as the Company does not typically provide these types of awards.

In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope. This ASU clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The ASU also amends the expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 to capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and to tailor the existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition. An entity may elect to apply ASU 2021-01 on contract modifications that change the interest rate used for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment retrospectively as of any date from the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020, or prospectively to new modifications from any date within the interim period that includes or is subsequent to January 7, 2021, up to the date that financial statements are available to be issued. An entity may elect to apply ASU 2021-01 to eligible hedging relationships existing as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020, and to new eligible hedging relationships entered into after the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. This ASU extends the period of time preparers can utilize the reference rate reform relief guidance in Topic 848. ASU 2022-06 defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. The Company is in the process of evaluating the provisions of this ASU but does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU was issued to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption of this accounting guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements but will result in the expansion of the income tax disclosures.

FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU was issued to address stakeholder requests for more detailed information about expenses within each reportable segment and address disclosure requirements there within. The amendments retain existing disclosure requirements, and expand upon them for both interim and annual reporting periods. In addition, entities with a single reportable segment must now provide all segment disclosures required, including the new disclosure requirements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption of this accounting guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements but will result in inclusion of certain segment reporting requirements not previously required.

Note 2.  Business Combinations

Effective on April 1, 2024, Central Valley Community Bancorp (“Central Valley”) completed its merger transaction with Community West Bancshares (“Community West”). Shortly thereafter Community West Bank (“CWB”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Community West, merged with and into Central Valley Community Bank (“CVCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Central Valley, with CVCB being the surviving banking institution. Effective with these mergers, the corporate name of Central Valley and CVCB were changed to Community West Bancshares and Community West Bank, respectively.

Pursuant to the terms of the merger, holders of Community West common stock received 0.79 of a share of common stock of Central Valley for each share of Community West common stock held immediately prior to the effective time of the mergers, with cash to be paid in lieu of any fractional shares of common stock of Central Valley. As a result of the mergers, Central Valley issued approximately 7,037,202 shares of Central Valley common stock. The financial condition and results of operation of the combined companies is reported in the second quarter results.

The acquisition of Community West has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805. Assets acquired, liabilities assumed, intangibles recognized and consideration exchanged was recorded at their respective acquisition date fair values. Determining the fair value of assets and liabilities involves significant judgment regarding methods and assumptions used to calculate estimated fair values. We recorded the fair values based on the valuations available as of reporting date. In accordance with business combination accounting guidance, we will continue to evaluate these fair values for up to one year following the merger date of April 1, 2024. While management believes the information available and presented below provide a reasonable basis for estimating fair value, we may obtain additional information and evidence during the

13

measurement period that could result in changes to the estimated fair value amounts. Valuation subject to change include, but not limited to, loans and leases, deposits, deferred tax items, and certain other assets and liabilities.

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for Community West Bank and the amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed that were recorded at the acquisition date (in thousands):

	Community West
	April 1, 2024
Fair value of consideration transferred:
Fair value of shares issued	$	139,970
Cash consideration	2
Fair value of options assumed	3,742
Total merger consideration	$	143,714
Assets acquired:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	58,523
Securities available-for-sale	846
Loans and leases	920,094
Premises and equipment	7,608
Cash value of life insurance	8,971
Other assets	45,343
Total assets acquired	1,041,385
Liabilities assumed:
Deposits	(844,035)
Borrowings	(85,638)
Other liabilities	(10,603)
Total liabilities assumed	(940,276)
Total net assets acquired	101,109
Goodwill created from transaction	$	42,605

The acquisition resulted in goodwill of $42.6 million, which is nondeductible for tax purposes, as this acquisition was a nontaxable transaction. Goodwill represents the premium paid over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and reflects the related synergies from the combined operations.

The following table presents the fair value and gross contractual amounts receivable of acquired non-credit deteriorated loans from the recent acquisition on April 1, 2024, and their respective expected contractual cash flows as of the acquisition date:

	Community West
	April 1, 2024
Fair value	$	892,090
Gross contractual amounts receivable	1,124,200
Estimate of contractual cash flows not expected to be collected (1)	13,375
Estimate of contractual cash flows expected to be collected	1,110,825
(1) Includes interest payments not expected to be collected due to loan prepayments as well as principal and interest payments not expected to be collected due to customer default.

The acquisition improves the Company’s footprint in Central California, expanding to the Central Coast. The acquisition diversifies its commercial banking business, adds additional revenue enhancing products, improves the Bank’s loan to deposit ratio, and creates operational efficiencies. Revenues and earnings of the acquired company since the acquisition date have not been disclosed as it is not practicable as Community West was merged into the Company and separate financial information is not readily available.

At June 30, 2024 there were two issuers of private label mortgage securities in which the Company had holdings of securities in amounts greater than 10% of shareholders’ equity. Investments with these issuers were in senior tranches and/or were rated “AAA” or higher and there were no credit issues identified.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had a total of 170 AFS debt securities in a gross unrealized loss position with no credit impairment, consisting of 6 U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. Government agencies, 46 obligations of states and political subdivisions, 51 U.S. Government sponsored entities and agencies collateralized by residential mortgage obligations, and 67 private label mortgage and asset backed securities.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Available-for-Sale Debt Securities

Each reporting period, the Company assesses each AFS debt security that is in an unrealized loss position to determine whether the decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis results from a credit loss or other factors. The Company did not record an ACL on any available for sale securities at June 30, 2024. As of that date, the Company considers the unrealized losses across the classes of major security-type to be related to fluctuations in market conditions, primarily interest rates, and not reflective of a deterioration in credit value. As of June 30, 2024, the Company determined that it is not more likely than not that there is an intention to sell securities or that the Company would be required to sell securities.

The gross unrealized losses presented in the preceding tables were primarily attributable to interest rate increases and liquidity and were mainly comprised of the following:

•Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions: The unrealized losses on investments in obligations of states and political subdivisions are caused by increases in required yields by investors in these types of securities. It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment.

•U.S. Treasury and Government Sponsored Entities and Agencies Collateralized by Residential Mortgage Obligations: The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in U.S. treasuries and government sponsored entities and agencies collateralized by residential mortgage obligations were caused by interest rate changes. The contractual cash flows of those investments are guaranteed or supported by an agency or sponsored entity of the U.S. Government. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the Company’s investment.

•Private Label Mortgage and Asset Backed Securities: The Company has invested exclusively in AA and AAA tranches of various private label mortgage and asset backed securities. Each purchase is subject to a credit and structure review prior to their purchase. Ratings are reviewed on a quarterly basis in addition to other metrics provided through third-party services. Following review of the financial metrics and ratings, management concluded that the unrealized loss position of the private label mortgage and asset backed securities related exclusively to the fluctuation in market conditions and were not reflective of any credit concerns with the tranches comprising the Company’s investments.

No allowance for credit losses have been recognized on AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position, as management does not believe that any of the securities are impaired due to credit risk factors as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities

The Company separately evaluates its HTM debt securities for any credit losses based on probability of default and loss given default utilizing historical industry data based on investment category, while also considering reasonable and supportable forecasts. The probability of default and loss given default are incorporated into the present value of expected cash flows and compared against amortized cost.

The allowance for credit losses on HTM securities was $1,076,000 at June 30, 2024. The allowance for credit losses on HTM securities is driven by economic scenarios, estimated probabilities of default and loss given default. Economic scenarios are updated quarterly.

The following table shows the summary of activities for the allowance for credit losses related to held-to-maturity debt securities for the thee months and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,				For the Six Months Ended June 30,
Debt Securities Held-to-Maturity	2024		2023		2024		2023
Beginning ACL balance	$	894	$	684	$	1,051	$	—
Impact of adoption of ASU 2016-13	—		—		—		776
Provision (credit) to credit losses	182		(228)		25		(320)
Total Ending ACL balance	$	1,076	$	456	$	1,076	$	456

During the three and six month period ended June 30, 2024, the credit to credit losses for held-to-maturity securities was primarily driven by changes in economic scenarios. Management believes that the allowance for credit losses for held-to-maturity securities at June 30, 2024 appropriately reflected expected credit losses at that date.

The Company monitors credit quality of debt securities held-to-maturity through the use of credit ratings. The Company monitors the credit ratings on a quarterly basis. For non-rated investment securities, management receives quarterly performance updates to monitor for any credit concerns. There were no HTM securities on nonaccrual or past due over 89 days and still on accrual. The following table summarizes the amortized cost of debt securities held-to-maturity at the dates indicated, aggregated by credit quality indicator. U.S. Government sponsored agencies are not included in the below tables as credit ratings are not applicable.

Note 4.  Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

The majority of the disclosures in this footnote are prepared at the class level, which is equivalent to the call report or call code classification. The roll forward of the allowance for credit losses is presented at the portfolio segment level. Accrued interest receivable on loans of $10,089,804 and $4,752,000 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 respectively is not included in the loan tables below and is included in other assets on the Company’s balance sheets. Outstanding loans are summarized by class as follows:

Allowance for credit losses	(24,940)		(14,653)
Total loans, net	$	2,231,631	$	1,276,144

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, loans originated under Small Business Administration (SBA) programs totaling $23,101,000 and $18,246,000, respectively, were included in the real estate and commercial categories, of which, $17,651,000 or 76% and $13,955,000 or 76%, respectively, are secured by government guarantees.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

The measurement of the allowance for credit losses on collectively evaluated loans is based on modeled expectations of lifetime expected credit losses utilizing national and local peer group historical losses, weighting of economic scenarios, and other relevant factors. The Company incorporates forward-looking information using macroeconomic scenarios, which include variables that are considered key drivers of credit losses within the portfolio. The Company uses a probability-weighted, multiple scenario forecast approach. These scenarios may consist of a base forecast representing the most likely outcome, combined with downside or upside scenarios reflecting possible worsening or improving economic conditions.

When a loan no longer shares similar risk characteristics with other loans, such as in the case of certain nonaccrual loans, the Company estimates the allowance for credit losses on an individual loan basis.

During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024, the provision for credit losses was primarily driven by loan growth and fluctuations in the economic forecasts utilized by the Company. The Company did not make any changes to the weightings utilized for the most likely, downside, or upside economic economic scenarios during the three or six month periods. The Company did update its peer group, expanding it to include banks in the central coast of California due to the Company’s new geographic footprint as well as larger banks in the overall footprint due to the Company’s increased asset size. During the quarter, the allowance increased primarily due to the acquisition of loans with a fair value of $920,094,000 as of April 1, 2024, including an allowance for purchased credit deteriorated loans. Management believes that the allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2024 appropriately reflected expected credit losses in the loan portfolio at that date.

The following table presents the amortized cost basis of collateral dependent loans by class of loans and by collateral type as of the dates indicated as of June 30, 2024 (in thousands). As of December 31, 2023 there were no collateral dependent loans.

The Company utilizes an internal asset classification system as a means of reporting problem and potential problem loans. Loan ratings are reviewed as part of the Company's normal loan monitoring process, but, at a minimum, updated on an annual basis. Under the Company’s risk rating system, the Company rates loans with potential problems as “Special Mention,” “Substandard,” “Doubtful,” and “Loss”. The following is a description of the characteristics of loan ratings.

Special Mention - A Special Mention loan has potential weaknesses that require management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the Company's credit position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Substandard - A Substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. These loans have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the full collection of amounts due. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the borrower’s deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful - A loan classified Doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified as Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors, which may work to the advantage and strengthening of the loan, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined. Pending factors include proposed merger, acquisition or liquidation procedures, capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral and refinancing plans.

Loss - Loans classified Loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable loans is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this loan even though partial recovery may be realized in the future. Losses are taken in the period in which they are considered uncollectible.

Loans not meeting the criteria above are considered to be pass-rated loans.

The following table shows the loan portfolio by class, net of deferred costs, allocated by management’s internal risk ratings for the period indicated. The following table also shows the charge-offs recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2024 (in thousands):

Note 5. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill is the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Core deposit intangibles represent the estimated future benefit of deposits related to an acquisition, are recorded separately as an asset and amortized over an estimated useful life of 10 years. Goodwill and other intangible assets are evaluated for impairment annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount may be impaired.

The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s goodwill and core deposit intangible assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

On November 12, 2021, the Company completed a private placement of $35,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes (“Subordinated Debt”) due December 1, 2031. The Subordinated Debt initially bears a fixed interest rate of 3.125% per year. Commencing on December 1, 2026, the interest rate on the Subordinated Debt will reset each quarter at a floating interest rate equal to the then-current three month term SOFR plus 2.10%. The Company may at its option redeem in whole or in part the Subordinated Debt on or after November 12, 2026 without a premium. The Subordinated Debt is treated as Tier 2 Capital for regulatory purposes.

Interest expense recognized by the Company for the Subordinated Debentures for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $310,000. Interest expense recognized by the Company for the Subordinated Debentures for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $619,000

Senior Debt

On September 15, 2022, the Company entered into a $30,000,000 loan agreement with Bell Bank. Initially, payments of interest only are payable in 12 quarterly payments commencing December 31, 2022. Commencing December 31, 2025, 27 equal quarterly principal and interest payments are payable based on the outstanding balance of the loan on August 30, 2025 and an amortization of 48 quarters. A final payment of outstanding principal and accrued interest is due at maturity on September 30, 2032. Variable interest is payable at the Prime Rate (published by the Wall Street Journal) less 50 basis points. The loan is secured by the assets of the Company and a pledge of the outstanding common stock of Central Valley Community Bank, the Company’s banking subsidiary. The Company may prepay the loan without penalty with one exception. If the loan is prepaid prior to August 30, 2025 with funds received from a financing source other than Bell Bank, the Company will incur a 2% prepayment penalty. The loan contains customary representations, covenants, and events of default.

Interest expense recognized by the Company for the Senior Debt for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $512,000 and $1,024,000, compared to $512,000 and $1,018,000 for three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Junior Subordinated Debentures

Service 1st Capital Trust I is a Delaware business trust formed by Service 1st.  The Company succeeded to all of the rights and obligations of Service 1st in connection with the merger with Service 1st as of November 12, 2008.  The Trust was formed on August 17, 2006 for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Service 1st.  Under applicable regulatory guidance, the amount of trust preferred securities that is eligible as Tier 1 capital is limited to 25% of the Company’s Tier 1 capital on a pro forma basis.  At June 30, 2024, all of the trust preferred securities that have been issued qualify as Tier 1 capital.  The trust preferred securities mature on October 7, 2036, are redeemable at the Company’s option, and require quarterly distributions by the Trust to the holder of the trust preferred securities at a variable interest rate which will adjust quarterly to equal the three month SOFR plus 1.60%.

33

The Trust used the proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities to purchase approximately $5,155,000 in aggregate principal amount of Service 1st’s junior subordinated notes (the Notes).  The Notes bear interest at the same variable interest rate during the same quarterly periods as the trust preferred securities.  The Notes are redeemable by the Company on any January 7, April 7, July 7, or October 7 or at any time within 90 days following the occurrence of certain events, such as: (i) a change in the regulatory capital treatment of the Notes (ii) in the event the Trust is deemed an investment company or (iii) upon the occurrence of certain adverse tax events.  In each such case, the Company may redeem the Notes for their aggregate principal amount, plus any accrued but unpaid interest.

The Notes may be declared immediately due and payable at the election of the trustee or holders of 25% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes in the event that the Company defaults in the payment of any interest following the nonpayment of any such interest for 20 or more consecutive quarterly periods.

Holders of the trust preferred securities are entitled to a cumulative cash distribution on the liquidation amount of $1,000 per security.  For each January 7, April 7, July 7 or October 7 of each year, the rate will be adjusted to equal the three month SOFR plus 1.60%.  As of June 30, 2024, the rate was 7.19%.

Interest expense recognized by the Company for the Junior Subordinated Debentures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $94,000 and $188,000, compared to interest expense recognized by the Company for the Junior Subordinated debentures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $93,000 and $360,000.

Note 9.  Commitments and Contingencies

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk - In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for loans.

Commitments to extend credit amounting to $413,622,000 and $276,270,000 were outstanding at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract unless waived by the Bank. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.

Included in commitments to extend credit are undisbursed lines of credit totaling $411,198,000 and $274,282,000 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.  Undisbursed lines of credit include credits whereby customers can repay principal and request principal advances during the term of the loan at their discretion and most expire between one and 12 months.

Included in undisbursed lines of credit are commitments for the undisbursed portions of construction loans totaling $90,034,000 and $45,116,000 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These commitments are agreements to lend to customers, subject to meeting certain construction progress requirements established in the contracts. The underlying construction loans have fixed expiration dates.

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees amounting to $2,424,000 and $1,988,000 were outstanding at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support private financial arrangements. Standby letters of credit and guarantees carry a one year term or less, many have auto-renewal features. The fair value of the liability related to these standby letters of credit, which represents the fees received for their issuance, was not significant at June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.  The Company recognizes these fees as revenue over the term of the commitment or when the commitment is used.

The Company generally requires collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk. Management does not anticipate any material loss will result from the outstanding commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the allowance for credit losses of unfunded commitments was $1,188,000 and $839,000, respectively. The allowance for credit losses of unfunded commitments is calculated by management using an appropriate, systematic, and consistently

34

applied process.  While related to credit losses, this allocation is not a part of the allowance for credit losses on loans and is considered separately as a liability for accounting and regulatory reporting purposes, and is included in Other Liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet.

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to such actions will not materially affect the consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Company.

Note 11. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS), which excludes dilution, is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as stock options or restricted stock awards, result in the issuance of common stock which shares in the earnings of the Company. 

A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations is as follows:

Diluted (loss) earnings per share	$	(0.33)	$	0.54	$	(0.17)	$	1.13

Options to purchase 385,445 shares of common stock were outstanding as of June 30, 2024 and there were no outstanding shares as of June 30, 2023 There were 103,935 and 75,953 restricted stock awards unvested and outstanding at June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, there were no anti-dilutive weighted average shares outstanding.

Holders of unvested restricted stock accrue dividends at the same rate as common shareholders and they both share equally in undistributed earnings. Unvested restricted stock awards that are time-based contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents and are considered to be participating securities in the earnings per share computation using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, earnings are allocated to common shareholders and participating securities according to their respective rights to earnings. Unvested stock awards that vest based on performance or market conditions are not considered to be participating securities in the earnings per share calculation because accrued dividends on shares that do not vest are forfeited.

Note 12.  Share-Based Compensation

In May 2015, the Company adopted the Central Valley Community Bancorp 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (2015 Plan). The plan provides for awards in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock. The plan also allows for performance awards that may be in the form of cash or shares of the Company’s common stock. With respect to stock options and restricted stock the exercise price in the case of stock options and the grant value in the case of restricted stock may not be less than the fair market value at the date of the award. The options and awards under the plan expire on dates determined by the Board of Directors, but not later than ten years from the date of grant. The vesting period for stock options and restricted stock rights is determined by the Board of Directors and ranges one to five years. The maximum number of shares that can be issued with respect to all awards under the plan is 875,000. Currently under the 2015 Plan, 149,830 shares remain reserved for future grants as of June 30, 2024.

Share-based compensation cost recognized for those plans was $187,000 and $368,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $158,000 and $519,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The recognized tax benefit for the share-based compensation expense, forfeitures of restricted stock, and exercise of stock options, resulted in the recognition of $6,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and $0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

36

Stock Option Awards

The Company bases the fair value of the stock options granted on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes Merton option pricing model that uses assumptions based on expected option life and the level of estimated forfeitures, expected stock volatility, risk free interest rate, and dividend yield.  The expected term and level of estimated forfeitures of the Company’s stock options are based on the Company’s own historical experience.  Stock volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the U. S. Treasury yield curve for the periods within the contractual life of the stock options in effect at the time of grant.  The compensation cost for stock options granted is based on the weighted average grant date fair value per share.

A summary of the activity of the Company’s stock options for the six months June 30, 2024 follows (in thousands, except per share amounts): 

	Number of Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price
Options outstanding at December 31, 2023	—	$	—
Options issued at acquisition	390,462	13.23
Options granted	—	—
Options exercised	(5,017)	12.48
Options forfeited	—	—
Options outstanding at June 30, 2024	385,445	$	13.24

The significant assumptions used to estimate fair value of the issued options at the time of the acquisition included: risk free rate 4.35%; dividend rate 4.31%, expected volatility 46.95%, and a weighted average expected term of 4.92 years.

Information related to the stock option plan is as follows (in thousands):

Restricted Stock and Common Stock Awards

The 2015 Plan provides for the issuance of restricted common stock to directors and officers and common stock awards based on the achievement of performance goals as determined by the Board of Directors or in accordance with executive employment agreements. Restricted common stock grants typically vest over a one to five-year period. Restricted common stock is subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to vesting. The cost of these awards is recognized over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of the grant.

The shares awarded to employees and directors under the restricted stock agreements vest on applicable vesting dates only to the extent the recipient of the shares is then an employee or a director of the Company or one of its subsidiaries, and each recipient will forfeit all of the shares that have not vested on the date his or her employment or service is terminated. Common stock awards for performance vest immediately. Holders of restricted stock awards receive non-forfeitable dividends at the same rate as common stockholders and they both share equally in undistributed earnings. Therefore, under the two-class method the difference in EPS is not significant for these participating securities.

The following table summarizes restricted stock activity for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 as follows:

	Shares	Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Nonvested outstanding shares at December 31, 2023	75,133	$	15.65
Granted	72,360	16.93
Vested	(43,558)	15.06
Forfeited	—	—
Nonvested outstanding shares at June 30, 2024	103,935	$	16.79

As of June 30, 2024, there were 103,935 shares of restricted stock that are nonvested and expected to vest. As of June 30, 2024, there was $1,633,228 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted common stock awards.  Restricted stock compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 2.39 years and will be adjusted for subsequent changes in estimated forfeitures. Restricted common stock awards had an intrinsic value of $1,744,860 at June 30, 2024.

Note 13.  Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Hierarchy

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1 — Quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments traded in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2 —Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The estimated carrying and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments not carried at fair value are as follows (in thousands):

Subordinated debentures	69,744		—		—		61,121		61,121

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair values are described as follows:

(a) Cash and Cash Equivalents — The carrying amounts of cash and due from banks, interest-earning deposits in other banks, and Federal funds sold approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.

(b) Investment securities — The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2), using matrix pricing. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique commonly used to price debt securities that are not actively traded, values debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3).

(c) Loans — Fair values of loans are estimated as follows: fixed and variable loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, taking into consideration various factors including loan type, credit loss and prepayment expectations. The loan cash flows are discounted to present value using a combination of existing market rates and liquidity spreads as well as underlying index rates and margins on variable rate loans resulting in a Level 3 classification.

(d) Time Deposits — Fair value for fixed and variable rate certificates of deposit are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates offered at each reporting date by the Company for certificates with similar remaining maturities resulting in a Level 2 classification.

39

(e) Short-Term Borrowings — The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings, generally maturing within ninety days, approximate their fair values resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(f) Subordinated Debentures and Senior Debt — The fair values of the Company’s Subordinated Debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 3 classification.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

We are a central California-based bank holding company for a one-bank subsidiary, Community West Bank (the “Bank”).  On April 1, 2024 (the “Effective Time”), Central Valley Community Bancorp (“Central Valley”) completed its merger transaction with Community West Bancshares (“Community West”), in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Merger, dated as of October 10, 2023, by and among Central Valley and Community West (the “Merger Agreement”). At the Effective Time, Community West merged with and into the Central Valley, with Central Valley being the surviving entity (the “Corporate Merger”). Following the Corporate Merger, Community West Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of Community West, (“CWB”) merged with and into Central Valley Community Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Central Valley, (“CVCB”) with CVCB being the surviving banking institution (the “Bank Merger”, and collectively with the Corporate Merger, the “Mergers”). Effective with the Mergers, the corporate name of the Central Valley and CVCB were changed to Community West Bancshares and Community West Bank, respectively.

As of result of the merger, we now offer 26 full-service banking centers covering greater Sacramento in the north, throughout the San Joaquin Valley and west to the Central Coast. We provide traditional commercial banking services to small and medium-sized businesses and individuals in the communities that we serve.

Dividend Declared

On July 17, 2024, the Board of Directors declared a $0.12 per share cash dividend payable on August 16, 2024 to shareholders of record as of August 2, 2024.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the Company’s most critical accounting policies are those which the Company’s financial condition depends upon, and which involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments.

Business Combinations

We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805. We recognize the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition, with any excess of the fair value of consideration provided over the fair value of the identifiable net tangible and intangible assets acquired recorded as goodwill. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Application of the acquisition method requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments to determine the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.

In accordance with ASC 805, the acquiring company retains the right to make appropriate adjustments to the assets and liabilities of the acquired entity for information obtained during the measurement period about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The measurement period ends as of the earlier of (i) one year from the acquisition date or (ii) the date when the acquirer receives the information necessary to complete the business combination accounting.

Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a business combination and that are determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events and circumstances exist that indicate the necessity for such impairment tests to be performed. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Core deposit intangible assets arising from business combinations are amortized on an accelerated basis reflecting the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed or otherwise used up. The estimated life of the core deposit intangible is approximately 10 years.

41

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) approach requires an estimate of the credit losses expected over the life of a financial asset carried at amortized cost. It removes the incurred loss approach’s threshold that delayed the recognition of a credit loss until it was “probable” a loss event was “incurred.”

The estimate of expected credit losses under the CECL approach is based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amounts. Historical loss experience is generally the starting point for estimating expected credit losses. We then consider whether the historical loss experience should be adjusted for asset-specific risk characteristics or current conditions at the reporting date that did not exist over the period from which historical experience was used. Finally, we consider forecasts about future economic conditions that are reasonable and supportable.

Management’s evaluation of the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses is often the most critical of accounting estimates for a financial institution. Our determination of the amount of the allowance for credit losses is a critical accounting estimate as it requires significant reliance on the use of estimates and significant judgment as to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on criticized loans, significant reliance on historical loss rates, consideration of our quantitative and qualitative evaluation of economic factors, and the reliance on our reasonable and supportable forecasts.

The allowance for credit losses attributable to each portfolio segment also includes an amount for inherent risks not reflected in the historical analyses. Relevant factors include, but are not limited to, concentrations of credit risk (geographic, large borrower, and industry), economic trends and conditions, changes in underwriting standards, experience and depth of lending staff, trends in delinquencies, and the level of criticized loans.

The impact of utilizing the CECL approach to calculate the reserve for credit losses will be significantly influenced by the composition, characteristics and quality of our loan portfolios, as well as the prevailing economic conditions and forecasts utilized. Material changes to these and other relevant factors may result in greater volatility to the reserve for credit losses, and therefore, greater volatility to our reported earnings. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the “Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans” section below.

Please refer to the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a complete listing of critical accounting policies.

Financial Highlights

The significant highlights for the Company as of or for the period ended June 30, 2024 included the following:

•The Company incurred a loss during the second quarter of $6.3 million, or a loss of $0.33 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $3.7 million and $0.31, respectively, in the first quarter of 2024. The loss during the second quarter is attributable to merger-related expenses, including a provision for loan losses for the acquired loan portfolio. In addition, the Company realized a loss on sale of securities. See Non-GAAP financial measures below.

•Available-for-sale investment securities decreased $65.2 million or 10.9% at June 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023. During the second quarter, the Company received $26.0 million from the sale of available-for-sale investment securities and the remaining decline was due to normal pay downs and maturities, which the proceeds were used to fund loan growth as part of strategic repositioning of the balance sheet to improve future earnings.

•Total gross loans of $2.26 billion at June 30, 2024 increased by 74.82% or $965.8 million compared to December 31, 2023 largely due to the merger, which the fair value of the acquired loans totaled $920.1 million. Excluding the acquired loans, gross loans increased by $45.7 million or 3.54% during the year-to-date period.

•Total assets increased by $1.05 billion or 43.20% at June 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 as a result of the merger.

•Total deposits of $2.87 billion at June 30, 2024 increased by 40.54% or $827.7 million compared to December 31, 2023, primarily due to the merger, which the fair value of the acquired deposits totaled $844.0 million. Excluding the merger, deposits decreased $16.35 million or 0.80%.

42

•Total cost of deposits increased to 1.71% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 compared to 0.98% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, largely due to acquired deposits from the merger including amortization from fair value marks on certificates of deposits.

•Average non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts as a percentage of total average deposits was 37.36% and 45.30% for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

•Net interest margin increased to 3.65% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, from 3.42% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

•There were $2,806,000 non-performing assets for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 as the result of the acquired loans from the merger. Net loan charge-offs were $41,000 and loans delinquent more than 30 days were $8,316,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

•Capital positions remain strong at June 30, 2024 with a 9.14% Tier 1 Leverage Ratio; a 11.36% Common Equity Tier 1 Ratio; a 11.55% Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio; and a 13.87% Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio.

•The Company declared a $0.12 per common share cash dividend, payable on August 16, 2024 to shareholders of record as of August 2, 2024.

Statement Regarding use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Community West Bancshares’s financial results are presented in accordance with GAAP and refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that presentation of operating results using non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of the Company’s core operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods. Management also uses non-GAAP

43

financial measures to establish budgets and manage the Company’s business. A reconciliation of the GAAP financial measures to comparable non-GAAP financial measures is presented below.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

The level of net interest income depends on several factors in combination, including yields on earning assets, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, the relative volumes of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the mix of products which comprise the Company’s earning assets, deposits, and other interest-bearing liabilities. To maintain its net interest margin, the Company must manage the relationship between interest earned and paid.

The following Distribution, Rate and Yield table presents the average amounts outstanding for the major categories of the Company’s balance sheet, the average interest rates earned or paid thereon, and the resulting net interest margin on average interest earning assets for the periods indicated. Average balances are based on daily averages.

Managing high-risk credits includes developing a business strategy with the customer to mitigate our potential losses. Management continues to monitor these credits with a view to identifying as early as possible when, and to what extent, additional provisions may be necessary. Management believes that the level of allowance for credit losses has been adjusted accordingly.

During the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded a $9,502,000 and $10,032,000 provision for credit losses on loans. During the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a $184,000 provision and $702,000 for credit losses on loans.

The Company had net charge-offs totaling $41,000 and $566,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The Company had net recoveries totaling $22,000 and $3,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

The Company has been and will continue to be proactive in looking for signs of deterioration within the loan portfolio in an effort to manage credit quality and work with borrowers where possible to mitigate losses. As of June 30, 2024, there were $39,647,000 in classified loans of which $2,950,000 related to commercial and industrial loans, $300,000 to agricultural production, $4,285,000 to owner occupied real estate, $23,985,000 to non-owner occupied real estate, $5,902,000 to farmland, and $75,000 to consumer.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income is comprised of customer service charges, loan placement fees, net gains/losses on sales and calls of investment securities, appreciation in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance, FHLB dividends, and other income.  Non-interest income was $1,400,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $1,594,000 for the same period in 2023. The $194,000 or 12.17% decrease in non-interest income during the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily driven by additional net realized losses on sales and calls of investment securities in the amount of $1,935,000 more than at June 30, 2023, offset by $1,232,000 or 446.38% increase in other income, $177,000 or 38.65% increase in interchange fees and $113,000 or 30.79% increase on service charges.

Non-interest income was $3,037,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $3,169,000 for the same period in 2023.  The $132,000 or 4.17% decrease in non-interest income during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily driven by $1,376,000 in other income, increases in loan placement fees of $114,000, and increase in the interchange fees of $137,000, offset by $2,089,000 in additional net realized losses on sales and calls of investment securities from $257,000 at June 30, 2023 to $2,346,000 at June 30, 2024.

Other non-interest income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 increased due largely due CRA investment distributions received in the amount of $988,000 and $975,000, respectively.

The Bank currently holds $10,978,000 in stock from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of San Francisco in conjunction with our borrowing capacity and generally earns quarterly dividends.  We received dividends totaling $160,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $106,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Non-Interest Expenses

Salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, information technology, data processing, professional services, acquisition and integration expenses, and regulatory assessments are the major categories of non-interest expenses. 

Non-interest expenses increased $14,698,000 or 106.47% to $28,503,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $13,805,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023.  The net increase for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily the result increases in salaries and employee benefits of $5,475,000, acquisition

51

and merger expenses of $5,379,000, occupancy and equipment of $1,159,000, other expense of $694,000, and information technology of $587,000.

Non-interest expenses increased $16,826,000 or 62.30% to $43,836,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $27,010,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023.  The net increase for the six months period was primarily the result of increases in salaries and employee benefits of $6,080,000, acquisition and merger expenses of $5,724,000, occupancy and equipment of $1,445,000, other expenses of $1,110,000, information technology of $762,000, regulatory assessments of $388,000, and professional services of $306,000.

Salaries and employee benefits increased $6,080,000 or 37.98% to $22,090,000 for the first six months of 2024 compared to $16,010,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023.  The increase in salaries and benefits and director expenses was a reflection of salary adjustments due to market conditions and temporary hiring as part of the completed merger with Community West Bank. Full time equivalent employees were 253 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 246 for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate was 20.15% and 24.65% for the three month period ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Our effective income tax rate was 15.05% and 24.94% for the six month period ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

The Company reported an income tax benefit of $1,587,000 and provision of $2,055,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company reported an income tax benefit of $463,000 and provision of $4,403,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

The effective tax rate was affected by additional Low Income Housing Tax Credits (“LIHTC”) added during the period, offset by a decrease in the amount of tax-exempt interest recognized during the three month period, ended June 30, 2024. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of tax expense in the consolidated statements of income. If deemed necessary, the Company maintains a reserve for uncertain income taxes where the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained upon examination do not meet a more-likely-than-not criteria. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was no reserve for uncertain tax positions.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Summary of Changes in Consolidated Balance Sheets

Total assets were $3,484,671,000 as of June 30, 2024, compared to $2,433,426,000 at December 31, 2023, an increase of 43.20% or $1,051,245,000.  Total gross loans were $2,256,571,000 at June 30, 2024, compared to $1,290,797,000 at December 31, 2023, an increase of $965,774,000 or 74.82%.  Total cash and cash equivalents increased 104.12% or $55,941,000 to $109,669,000 at June 30, 2024 compared to $53,728,000 at December 31, 2023. The investment portfolio decreased 3.71% or $65,866,000 to $840,421,000 at June 30, 2024 compared to $906,287,000 at December 31, 2023.  Total deposits increased 40.54% or $827,688,000 to $2,869,300,000 at June 30, 2024, compared to $2,041,612,000 at December 31, 2023.  Shareholders’ equity increased $143,178,000 or 69.15% to $350,242,000 at June 30, 2024, compared to $207,064,000 at December 31, 2023. The increase in shareholders’ equity was driven by the retention of earnings, issuance of common stock, partially offset by the change in unrealized loss and dividends paid. Accrued interest payable and other liabilities was $44,674,000 at June 30, 2024, compared to $35,006,000 at December 31, 2023, an increase of $9,668,000.

Investments

Our investment portfolio consists primarily of private label mortgage, U.S. Government sponsored entities and agencies collateralized by residential mortgage backed obligations, asset backed securities (PLMABS), corporate debt securities, and obligations of states and political subdivision securities and are classified at the date of acquisition as available for sale or held to maturity.  As of June 30, 2024, investment securities with a fair value of $326,054,000, or 39.10% of our investment securities portfolio, were held as collateral for public funds, short and long-term borrowings, treasury, tax, and for other purposes.

The level of our investment portfolio as a percentage of our total earnings assets has historically been considered higher than our peers due to a comparatively low loan-to-deposit ratio. However, with the recent acquisition that was completed on April 1, 2024, our loan-to-deposit ratio at June 30, 2024 increased to 78.65%, compared to 63.22% at December 31, 2023 and 57.07% at June 30, 2023. Going forward, the Company’s investment portfolio as a percentage of total earnings assets should be within the range of our peers. The total investment portfolio decreased 3.71% or $65,866,000 to $840,421,000 at June 30, 2024 compared to $906,287,000 at December 31, 2023.  The fair value of the available-for-sale investment portfolio reflected a net unrealized loss of $66,202,000 at June 30, 2024, compared to net unrealized losses of $72,450,000 at December 31, 2023 and $85,234,000 at June 30, 2023.

See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) included in this report for carrying values and estimated fair values of our investment securities portfolio.

The following table sets forth information concerning the composition of our loan portfolio at the dates indicated:

Loan Type (Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2024		% of Total Loans		December 31, 2023		% of Total Loans
Commercial:
Commercial and industrial	$	137,133	6.1	%	$	105,466	8.2	%

Allowance for credit losses	(24,940)				(14,653)
Total loans	$	2,231,631			$	1,276,144

As of June 30, 2024, in management’s judgment, a concentration of loans existed in loans commercial real estate representing approximately 56.0% of total loans.  This level of concentration of commercial real estate is consistent with 61.3% of total loans at December 31, 2023.  Although management believes the loans within this concentration have no more than the normal risk of collectability, a substantial decline in the performance of the economy in general or a decline in real estate values in our primary market areas, in particular, could have an adverse impact on collectability, increase the level of real estate-related non-performing loans, or have other adverse effects which alone or in the aggregate could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.  The Company does not engage in any sub-prime mortgage lending activities.

From the acquisition completed on April 1, 2024, the Company’s acquired gross loans totaled $925.5 million as of June 30, 2024 and are included in the above table. Those loans by loan type were $539.1 million in commercial real estate loans, $327.4 million in manufacturing housing loans, $31.7 million totaled commercial loans, $27.2 million in single family residence loans, and $139.3 thousand in other installment loans.

We believe that our commercial real estate loan underwriting policies and practices result in prudent extensions of credit, but recognize that our lending activities result in relatively high reported commercial real estate lending levels.  Commercial real estate loans include certain loans which represent low to moderate risk and certain loans with higher risks.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans, other real estate owned (OREO), and repossessed assets.  Nonperforming loans are those loans which have (i) been placed on nonaccrual status; (ii) been classified as doubtful under our asset classification system; or (iii) become contractually past due 90 days or more with respect to principal or interest and have not been restructured or otherwise placed on nonaccrual status.  A loan is classified as nonaccrual when (i) it is maintained on a cash basis because of deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower; (ii) payment in full of principal or interest under the original contractual terms is not expected; or (iii) principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection.

54

At June 30, 2024 there were $2,806,000 nonperforming assets, compared to December 31, 2023 there were no nonperforming assets.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

For additional information regarding provisions to credit losses on loans, see “Provision for credit losses on loans” above. Based on the current conditions of the loan portfolio, management believes that the $24,940,000 is adequate to absorb current expected credit losses in the Company’s loan portfolio. The following table summarizes the allocation for the allowance for credit losses by loan type as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

As of June 30, 2024, the balance in the allowance for credit losses (ACL) on loans was $24,940,000, or 1.11% of total gross loans, compared to $14,653,000, or 1.14% of total gross loans, as of December 31, 2023. The balance of unfunded commitments to extend credit on construction and other loans and letters of credit was $413,622,000 as of June 30, 2024, compared to $276,270,000 as of December 31, 2023.  At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance of the reserve for unfunded commitments was $1,188,000 and $839,000, respectively. The reserve for unfunded commitments is calculated by management using appropriate, systematic, and consistently applied processes.  While related to credit losses, this allocation is not a part of the ACL on loans and is considered separately as a liability for accounting and regulatory reporting purposes.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $90,000,000 Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of San Francisco long-term advances outstanding and $20,000,000 overnight borrowing outstanding. The Company also had $44,065,000 in short-term advances from the Federal Reserve’s Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP) as of June 30, 2024. There was $35,000,000 in short-term FHLB advances and $44,065,000 in short-term BTFP advances as of December 31, 2023. We maintain a line of credit with the FHLB collateralized by government securities and loans. Refer to the Liquidity section below for further discussion of FHLB advances.

Capital

Capital serves as a source of funds and helps protect depositors and shareholders against potential losses.  Historically, the primary source of capital for the Company has been through retained earnings. 

The Company has historically maintained substantial levels of capital.  The assessment of capital adequacy is dependent on several factors including asset quality, earnings trends, liquidity and economic conditions.  Maintenance of adequate capital levels is integral to providing stability to the Company.  The Company needs to maintain substantial levels of regulatory capital to give it maximum flexibility in the changing regulatory environment and to respond to changes in the market and economic conditions.

Our shareholders’ equity was $350,242,000 at June 30, 2024, compared to $207,064,000 at December 31, 2023.  The increase from December 31, 2023 in shareholders’ equity is the result of an increase in issuance of common stock due to business combination from the acquisition on April 1, 20224, offset by a decrease in retained earnings from net income of $2,614,000, offset by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $5,205,000.

56

During the first six months of 2024, the Company declared $3,684,000 in cash dividends ($0.24 per common share) to holders of common stock. The Company declared and paid $2,821,000 in cash dividends ($0.24 per common share) to holders of common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Liquidity

Liquidity management involves our ability to meet cash flow requirements arising from fluctuations in deposit levels and demands of daily operations, which include funding of securities purchases, providing for customers’ credit needs and ongoing repayment of borrowings.  Our liquidity is actively managed on a daily basis and reviewed periodically by our management and Board of Director’s Asset/Liability Committees.  This process is intended to ensure the maintenance of sufficient funds to meet our needs, including adequate cash flow for off-balance sheet commitments.

Our primary sources of liquidity are derived from financing activities which include the acceptance of customer and, to a lesser extent, broker deposits, Federal funds facilities with correspondent banks, and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco.  These funding sources are augmented by payments of principal and interest on loans, the routine maturities and pay downs of securities from the securities portfolio, the stability of our core deposits and the ability to sell investment securities.  As of June 30, 2024, the Company had unpledged securities totaling $514,367,000 available as a secondary source of liquidity and total cash and cash equivalents of

57

$109,669,000.  Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2024 increased 104.12% compared to $53,728,000 at December 31, 2023.  Primary uses of funds include withdrawal of and interest payments on deposits, originations and purchases of loans, purchases of investment securities, and payment of operating expenses.

As a means of augmenting our liquidity, we have established federal funds lines with our correspondent banks.  At June 30, 2024, our available borrowing capacity includes approximately $110,000,000 in unsecured credit lines with our correspondent banks, $255,972,000 in unused FHLB secured advances, and a $4,268,000 secured credit line at the Federal Reserve Bank.  We believe our liquidity sources to be stable and adequate.  At June 30, 2024, we were not aware of any information that was reasonably likely to have a material effect on our liquidity position.

The following table reflects the Company’s credit lines, balances outstanding, and pledged collateral at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Credit Lines (In thousands)	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023

The liquidity of the parent company, Community West Bancshares, is primarily dependent on the payment of cash dividends by its subsidiary, Community West Bank, subject to limitations imposed by California statutes and the regulations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is defined as the risk of loss arising from an adverse change in the market value (or prices) of financial instruments. A significant component of market risk is interest rate risk, which is inherent in our lending, investment, borrowing and deposit gathering activities. The Bank manages interest rate sensitivity to minimize the exposure of our net interest margin, earnings, and capital to changes in interest rates. Interest rate changes can create fluctuations in the net interest margin due to an imbalance in the timing of repricing or maturity of assets or liabilities. Interest rate changes can also affect the market value of our financial instruments, such as available-for-sale securities and the related unrealized gains or losses, which affects our equity value.

To mitigate interest rate risk, the structure of our assets and liabilities is managed with the objective of correlating the effects of interest rate changes on loans and investments with those of deposits and borrowings. The asset and liability management policy sets limits on the acceptable amount of change to net interest income and economic value of equity in different interest rate environments.

ALCO and the Board of Directors review our exposure to interest rate risk at least quarterly. We use simulation models to measure interest rate risk and to evaluate strategies to improve profitability in the context of policy guidelines. A simplified statement of condition is prepared on a quarterly basis as a starting point, using instrument level data of our actual loans, investments, borrowings and deposits as inputs. If potential changes to net equity

58

value and net interest income resulting from hypothetical interest rate changes are not within the limits established by the Board of Directors, management may adjust the asset and liability mix to bring the risk position within approved limits or take other actions. Governing policies are subject to review by regulators and are updated to incorporate their observations and to adapt to changes in idiosyncratic and systemic risks. At June 30, 2024, interest rate risk was within policy guidelines established by ALCO and the Board. One set of interest rates modeled and evaluated against flat interest rates and a static balance sheet is a series of immediate parallel shifts in the yield curve. Our most recent analysis of our interest rate sensitivity is provided in the following table as an example rather than an expectation of likely interest rate movements.

Immediate and Parallel Shift in Interest Rates (in basis points)	Estimated Change in Net Interest Income in Year 1, as percent of Net Interest Income		Estimated Change in Net Interest Income in Year 2, as percent of Net Interest Income
up 400	(1.33)	%	(2.02)	%
up 300	(1.08)	%	(1.72)	%
up 200	(0.85)	%	(1.46)	%
up 100	0.02	%	(0.08)	%
down 100	(2.77)	%	(3.59)	%
down 200	(4.20)	%	(5.98)	%
down 300	(4.17)	%	(6.80)	%
down 400	(3.98)	%	(7.33)	%

Interest rate sensitivity is a function of the repricing characteristics of our assets and liabilities. The Bank runs a combination of scenarios and sensitivities in its attempt to capture the range of interest rate risk including the simulations mentioned above. As with any simulation model or other method of measuring interest rate risk, limitations are inherent in the process and dependent on assumptions. For example, lower deposit growth than modeled may cause the Bank to increase its borrowing position, thereby increasing its liability sensitivity. Additionally, assets and liabilities may react differently to changes in market interest rates in terms of both timing and responsiveness to market rate movements. Important deposit modeling assumptions include the speed of deposit run-off and the amount by which interest-bearing deposit rates increase or decrease when market interest rates change, otherwise known as the deposit beta. The above tables reflect deposit betas from 2% to 58%, to rates paid on non-maturity interest-bearing deposits in rising and falling rate scenarios, depending on product type and magnitude of the rate shock. The actual rates and timing of prepayments on loans and investment securities could vary significantly from the assumptions applied in the various scenarios. Lastly, uneven changes in different tenors of U.S. Treasury rates that result in changes to the shape of the yield curve could produce different results from those presented in the table. Accordingly, the results presented should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results in the event of changing market interest rates.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures with respect to the information generated for use in this Quarterly Report. The evaluation was based in part upon reports provided by a number of executives.  Based upon, and as of the date of the evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurances that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There was no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute,

59

assurances of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Basis of Presentation

Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Community West Bancshares and subsidiary have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). These interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Community West Bancshares and its wholly owned subsidiary Community West Bank (the Bank) (collectively, the Company). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been omitted. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at June 30, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three and six month interim periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment and Significant Group Concentration of Credit Risk

Management has determined that since all of the banking products and services offered by the Company are available in each branch of the Bank, all branches are located within the same economic environment, and management does not allocate resources based on the performance of different lending or transaction activities, it is appropriate to aggregate the Bank branches and report them as a single operating segment. No customer accounts for more than 10 percent of revenues for the Company or the Bank.

Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - In March 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance within Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-01, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards. The amendments in the ASU apply to companies that provide employees and non-employees with profits interest and similar awards to align compensation with the company’s operating performance and provide those holders with the opportunity to participate in future profits and/or equity appreciation of the company. The purpose of the ASU is to clarify the application of the scope guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) paragraph 718-10-15-3 in determining if a profit interest award should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718: Compensation—Stock Compensation. The amendment in ASC paragraph 718-10-15-3 is solely intended to improve the overall clarity and does not change the guidance.

The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. If the Company adopts the amendments in an interim period, it should adopt them as of the beginning of the annual period that includes the interim period. The amendments should be applied either (1) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements or (2) on a prospective basis. The Company has evaluated this ASU and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, as the Company does not typically provide these types of awards.

In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope. This ASU clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The ASU also amends the expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 to capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and to tailor the existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition. An entity may elect to apply ASU 2021-01 on contract modifications that change the interest rate used for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment retrospectively as of any date from the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020, or prospectively to new modifications from any date within the interim period that includes or is subsequent to January 7, 2021, up to the date that financial statements are available to be issued. An entity may elect to apply ASU 2021-01 to eligible hedging relationships existing as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020, and to new eligible hedging relationships entered into after the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. This ASU extends the period of time preparers can utilize the reference rate reform relief guidance in Topic 848. ASU 2022-06 defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. The Company is in the process of evaluating the provisions of this ASU but does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU was issued to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption of this accounting guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements but will result in the expansion of the income tax disclosures.

FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU was issued to address stakeholder requests for more detailed information about expenses within each reportable segment and address disclosure requirements there within. The amendments retain existing disclosure requirements, and expand upon them for both interim and annual reporting periods. In addition, entities with a single reportable segment must now provide all segment disclosures required, including the new disclosure requirements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption of this accounting guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements but will result in inclusion of certain segment reporting requirements not previously required.

Business Combination, Asset Acquisition, and Joint Venture Formation [Abstract]

Business Combinations

Business Combinations

Effective on April 1, 2024, Central Valley Community Bancorp (“Central Valley”) completed its merger transaction with Community West Bancshares (“Community West”). Shortly thereafter Community West Bank (“CWB”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Community West, merged with and into Central Valley Community Bank (“CVCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Central Valley, with CVCB being the surviving banking institution. Effective with these mergers, the corporate name of Central Valley and CVCB were changed to Community West Bancshares and Community West Bank, respectively.

Pursuant to the terms of the merger, holders of Community West common stock received 0.79 of a share of common stock of Central Valley for each share of Community West common stock held immediately prior to the effective time of the mergers, with cash to be paid in lieu of any fractional shares of common stock of Central Valley. As a result of the mergers, Central Valley issued approximately 7,037,202 shares of Central Valley common stock. The financial condition and results of operation of the combined companies is reported in the second quarter results.

The acquisition of Community West has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805. Assets acquired, liabilities assumed, intangibles recognized and consideration exchanged was recorded at their respective acquisition date fair values. Determining the fair value of assets and liabilities involves significant judgment regarding methods and assumptions used to calculate estimated fair values. We recorded the fair values based on the valuations available as of reporting date. In accordance with business combination accounting guidance, we will continue to evaluate these fair values for up to one year following the merger date of April 1, 2024. While management believes the information available and presented below provide a reasonable basis for estimating fair value, we may obtain additional information and evidence during the

measurement period that could result in changes to the estimated fair value amounts. Valuation subject to change include, but not limited to, loans and leases, deposits, deferred tax items, and certain other assets and liabilities.

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for Community West Bank and the amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed that were recorded at the acquisition date (in thousands):

	Community West
	April 1, 2024
Fair value of consideration transferred:
Fair value of shares issued	$	139,970
Cash consideration	2
Fair value of options assumed	3,742
Total merger consideration	$	143,714
Assets acquired:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	58,523
Securities available-for-sale	846
Loans and leases	920,094
Premises and equipment	7,608
Cash value of life insurance	8,971
Other assets	45,343
Total assets acquired	1,041,385
Liabilities assumed:
Deposits	(844,035)
Borrowings	(85,638)
Other liabilities	(10,603)
Total liabilities assumed	(940,276)
Total net assets acquired	101,109
Goodwill created from transaction	$	42,605

The acquisition resulted in goodwill of $42.6 million, which is nondeductible for tax purposes, as this acquisition was a nontaxable transaction. Goodwill represents the premium paid over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and reflects the related synergies from the combined operations.

The following table presents the fair value and gross contractual amounts receivable of acquired non-credit deteriorated loans from the recent acquisition on April 1, 2024, and their respective expected contractual cash flows as of the acquisition date:

	Community West
	April 1, 2024
Fair value	$	892,090
Gross contractual amounts receivable	1,124,200
Estimate of contractual cash flows not expected to be collected (1)	13,375
Estimate of contractual cash flows expected to be collected	1,110,825
(1) Includes interest payments not expected to be collected due to loan prepayments as well as principal and interest payments not expected to be collected due to customer default.

The acquisition improves the Company’s footprint in Central California, expanding to the Central Coast. The acquisition diversifies its commercial banking business, adds additional revenue enhancing products, improves the Bank’s loan to deposit ratio, and creates operational efficiencies. Revenues and earnings of the acquired company since the acquisition date have not been disclosed as it is not practicable as Community West was merged into the Company and separate financial information is not readily available.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Hierarchy

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1 — Quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments traded in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2 —Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The estimated carrying and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments not carried at fair value are as follows (in thousands):

Subordinated debentures	69,744		—		—		61,121		61,121

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair values are described as follows:

(a) Cash and Cash Equivalents — The carrying amounts of cash and due from banks, interest-earning deposits in other banks, and Federal funds sold approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.

(b) Investment securities — The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2), using matrix pricing. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique commonly used to price debt securities that are not actively traded, values debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3).

(c) Loans — Fair values of loans are estimated as follows: fixed and variable loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, taking into consideration various factors including loan type, credit loss and prepayment expectations. The loan cash flows are discounted to present value using a combination of existing market rates and liquidity spreads as well as underlying index rates and margins on variable rate loans resulting in a Level 3 classification.

(d) Time Deposits — Fair value for fixed and variable rate certificates of deposit are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates offered at each reporting date by the Company for certificates with similar remaining maturities resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(e) Short-Term Borrowings — The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings, generally maturing within ninety days, approximate their fair values resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(f) Subordinated Debentures and Senior Debt — The fair values of the Company’s Subordinated Debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 3 classification.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had a total of 170 AFS debt securities in a gross unrealized loss position with no credit impairment, consisting of 6 U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. Government agencies, 46 obligations of states and political subdivisions, 51 U.S. Government sponsored entities and agencies collateralized by residential mortgage obligations, and 67 private label mortgage and asset backed securities.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Available-for-Sale Debt Securities

Each reporting period, the Company assesses each AFS debt security that is in an unrealized loss position to determine whether the decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis results from a credit loss or other factors. The Company did not record an ACL on any available for sale securities at June 30, 2024. As of that date, the Company considers the unrealized losses across the classes of major security-type to be related to fluctuations in market conditions, primarily interest rates, and not reflective of a deterioration in credit value. As of June 30, 2024, the Company determined that it is not more likely than not that there is an intention to sell securities or that the Company would be required to sell securities.

The gross unrealized losses presented in the preceding tables were primarily attributable to interest rate increases and liquidity and were mainly comprised of the following:

•Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions: The unrealized losses on investments in obligations of states and political subdivisions are caused by increases in required yields by investors in these types of securities. It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment.

•U.S. Treasury and Government Sponsored Entities and Agencies Collateralized by Residential Mortgage Obligations: The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in U.S. treasuries and government sponsored entities and agencies collateralized by residential mortgage obligations were caused by interest rate changes. The contractual cash flows of those investments are guaranteed or supported by an agency or sponsored entity of the U.S. Government. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the Company’s investment.

•Private Label Mortgage and Asset Backed Securities: The Company has invested exclusively in AA and AAA tranches of various private label mortgage and asset backed securities. Each purchase is subject to a credit and structure review prior to their purchase. Ratings are reviewed on a quarterly basis in addition to other metrics provided through third-party services. Following review of the financial metrics and ratings, management concluded that the unrealized loss position of the private label mortgage and asset backed securities related exclusively to the fluctuation in market conditions and were not reflective of any credit concerns with the tranches comprising the Company’s investments.

No allowance for credit losses have been recognized on AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position, as management does not believe that any of the securities are impaired due to credit risk factors as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities

The Company separately evaluates its HTM debt securities for any credit losses based on probability of default and loss given default utilizing historical industry data based on investment category, while also considering reasonable and supportable forecasts. The probability of default and loss given default are incorporated into the present value of expected cash flows and compared against amortized cost.

The allowance for credit losses on HTM securities was $1,076,000 at June 30, 2024. The allowance for credit losses on HTM securities is driven by economic scenarios, estimated probabilities of default and loss given default. Economic scenarios are updated quarterly.

The following table shows the summary of activities for the allowance for credit losses related to held-to-maturity debt securities for the thee months and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,				For the Six Months Ended June 30,
Debt Securities Held-to-Maturity	2024		2023		2024		2023

Provision (credit) to credit losses	182		(228)		25		(320)
Total Ending ACL balance	$	1,076	$	456	$	1,076	$	456

During the three and six month period ended June 30, 2024, the credit to credit losses for held-to-maturity securities was primarily driven by changes in economic scenarios. Management believes that the allowance for credit losses for held-to-maturity securities at June 30, 2024 appropriately reflected expected credit losses at that date.

The Company monitors credit quality of debt securities held-to-maturity through the use of credit ratings. The Company monitors the credit ratings on a quarterly basis. For non-rated investment securities, management receives quarterly performance updates to monitor for any credit concerns. There were no HTM securities on nonaccrual or past due over 89 days and still on accrual. The following table summarizes the amortized cost of debt securities held-to-maturity at the dates indicated, aggregated by credit quality indicator. U.S. Government sponsored agencies are not included in the below tables as credit ratings are not applicable.

Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

The majority of the disclosures in this footnote are prepared at the class level, which is equivalent to the call report or call code classification. The roll forward of the allowance for credit losses is presented at the portfolio segment level. Accrued interest receivable on loans of $10,089,804 and $4,752,000 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 respectively is not included in the loan tables below and is included in other assets on the Company’s balance sheets. Outstanding loans are summarized by class as follows:

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, loans originated under Small Business Administration (SBA) programs totaling $23,101,000 and $18,246,000, respectively, were included in the real estate and commercial categories, of which, $17,651,000 or 76% and $13,955,000 or 76%, respectively, are secured by government guarantees.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

The measurement of the allowance for credit losses on collectively evaluated loans is based on modeled expectations of lifetime expected credit losses utilizing national and local peer group historical losses, weighting of economic scenarios, and other relevant factors. The Company incorporates forward-looking information using macroeconomic scenarios, which include variables that are considered key drivers of credit losses within the portfolio. The Company uses a probability-weighted, multiple scenario forecast approach. These scenarios may consist of a base forecast representing the most likely outcome, combined with downside or upside scenarios reflecting possible worsening or improving economic conditions.

When a loan no longer shares similar risk characteristics with other loans, such as in the case of certain nonaccrual loans, the Company estimates the allowance for credit losses on an individual loan basis.

The following table shows the summary of activities for the allowance for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 by portfolio segment (in thousands):

	Commercial		Commercial Real Estate		1-4 Family Real Estate		Consumer		Total

During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024, the provision for credit losses was primarily driven by loan growth and fluctuations in the economic forecasts utilized by the Company. The Company did not make any changes to the weightings utilized for the most likely, downside, or upside economic economic scenarios during the three or six month periods. The Company did update its peer group, expanding it to include banks in the central coast of California due to the Company’s new geographic footprint as well as larger banks in the overall footprint due to the Company’s increased asset size. During the quarter, the allowance increased primarily due to the acquisition of loans with a fair value of $920,094,000 as of April 1, 2024, including an allowance for purchased credit deteriorated loans. Management believes that the allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2024 appropriately reflected expected credit losses in the loan portfolio at that date.

The following table presents the amortized cost basis of collateral dependent loans by class of loans and by collateral type as of the dates indicated as of June 30, 2024 (in thousands). As of December 31, 2023 there were no collateral dependent loans.

The Company utilizes an internal asset classification system as a means of reporting problem and potential problem loans. Loan ratings are reviewed as part of the Company's normal loan monitoring process, but, at a minimum, updated on an annual basis. Under the Company’s risk rating system, the Company rates loans with potential problems as “Special Mention,” “Substandard,” “Doubtful,” and “Loss”. The following is a description of the characteristics of loan ratings.

Special Mention - A Special Mention loan has potential weaknesses that require management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the Company's credit position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Substandard - A Substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. These loans have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the full collection of amounts due. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the borrower’s deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful - A loan classified Doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified as Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors, which may work to the advantage and strengthening of the loan, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined. Pending factors include proposed merger, acquisition or liquidation procedures, capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral and refinancing plans.

Loss - Loans classified Loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable loans is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this loan even though partial recovery may be realized in the future. Losses are taken in the period in which they are considered uncollectible.

Loans not meeting the criteria above are considered to be pass-rated loans.

The following table shows the loan portfolio by class, net of deferred costs, allocated by management’s internal risk ratings for the period indicated. The following table also shows the charge-offs recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2024 (in thousands):

Occasionally, the Company modifies loans to borrowers in financial distress by providing reductions of the stated interest rate of the loan or an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk. There were no loan modifications granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the three or six month period ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill is the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Core deposit intangibles represent the estimated future benefit of deposits related to an acquisition, are recorded separately as an asset and amortized over an estimated useful life of 10 years. Goodwill and other intangible assets are evaluated for impairment annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount may be impaired.

The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s goodwill and core deposit intangible assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

On November 12, 2021, the Company completed a private placement of $35,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes (“Subordinated Debt”) due December 1, 2031. The Subordinated Debt initially bears a fixed interest rate of 3.125% per year. Commencing on December 1, 2026, the interest rate on the Subordinated Debt will reset each quarter at a floating interest rate equal to the then-current three month term SOFR plus 2.10%.

Junior Subordinated Debentures

Service 1st Capital Trust I is a Delaware business trust formed by Service 1st.  The Company succeeded to all of the rights and obligations of Service 1st in connection with the merger with Service 1st as of November 12, 2008.  The Trust was formed on August 17, 2006 for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Service 1st.  Under applicable regulatory guidance, the amount of trust preferred securities that is eligible as Tier 1 capital is limited to 25% of the Company’s Tier 1 capital on a pro forma basis.  At June 30, 2024, all of the trust preferred securities that have been issued qualify as Tier 1 capital.  The trust preferred securities mature on October 7, 2036, are redeemable at the Company’s option, and require quarterly distributions by the Trust to the holder of the trust preferred securities at a variable interest rate which will adjust quarterly to equal the three month SOFR plus 1.60%.

The Trust used the proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities to purchase approximately $5,155,000 in aggregate principal amount of Service 1st’s junior subordinated notes (the Notes).  The Notes bear interest at the same variable interest rate during the same quarterly periods as the trust preferred securities.  The Notes are redeemable by the Company on any January 7, April 7, July 7, or October 7 or at any time within 90 days following the occurrence of certain events, such as: (i) a change in the regulatory capital treatment of the Notes (ii) in the event the Trust is deemed an investment company or (iii) upon the occurrence of certain adverse tax events.  In each such case, the Company may redeem the Notes for their aggregate principal amount, plus any accrued but unpaid interest.

The Notes may be declared immediately due and payable at the election of the trustee or holders of 25% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes in the event that the Company defaults in the payment of any interest following the nonpayment of any such interest for 20 or more consecutive quarterly periods.

Holders of the trust preferred securities are entitled to a cumulative cash distribution on the liquidation amount of $1,000 per security.  For each January 7, April 7, July 7 or October 7 of each year, the rate will be adjusted to equal the three month SOFR plus 1.60%.  As of June 30, 2024, the rate was 7.19%.

Interest expense recognized by the Company for the Junior Subordinated Debentures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $94,000 and $188,000, compared to interest expense recognized by the Company for the Junior Subordinated debentures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $93,000 and $360,000.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk - In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for loans.

Commitments to extend credit amounting to $413,622,000 and $276,270,000 were outstanding at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract unless waived by the Bank. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.

Included in commitments to extend credit are undisbursed lines of credit totaling $411,198,000 and $274,282,000 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.  Undisbursed lines of credit include credits whereby customers can repay principal and request principal advances during the term of the loan at their discretion and most expire between one and 12 months.

Included in undisbursed lines of credit are commitments for the undisbursed portions of construction loans totaling $90,034,000 and $45,116,000 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These commitments are agreements to lend to customers, subject to meeting certain construction progress requirements established in the contracts. The underlying construction loans have fixed expiration dates.

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees amounting to $2,424,000 and $1,988,000 were outstanding at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support private financial arrangements. Standby letters of credit and guarantees carry a one year term or less, many have auto-renewal features. The fair value of the liability related to these standby letters of credit, which represents the fees received for their issuance, was not significant at June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.  The Company recognizes these fees as revenue over the term of the commitment or when the commitment is used.

The Company generally requires collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk. Management does not anticipate any material loss will result from the outstanding commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the allowance for credit losses of unfunded commitments was $1,188,000 and $839,000, respectively. The allowance for credit losses of unfunded commitments is calculated by management using an appropriate, systematic, and consistently

applied process.  While related to credit losses, this allocation is not a part of the allowance for credit losses on loans and is considered separately as a liability for accounting and regulatory reporting purposes, and is included in Other Liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet.

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to such actions will not materially affect the consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Company.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS), which excludes dilution, is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as stock options or restricted stock awards, result in the issuance of common stock which shares in the earnings of the Company. 

A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations is as follows:

Diluted (loss) earnings per share	$	(0.33)	$	0.54	$	(0.17)	$	1.13

Options to purchase 385,445 shares of common stock were outstanding as of June 30, 2024 and there were no outstanding shares as of June 30, 2023 There were 103,935 and 75,953 restricted stock awards unvested and outstanding at June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, there were no anti-dilutive weighted average shares outstanding.

Holders of unvested restricted stock accrue dividends at the same rate as common shareholders and they both share equally in undistributed earnings. Unvested restricted stock awards that are time-based contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents and are considered to be participating securities in the earnings per share computation using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, earnings are allocated to common shareholders and participating securities according to their respective rights to earnings. Unvested stock awards that vest based on performance or market conditions are not considered to be participating securities in the earnings per share calculation because accrued dividends on shares that do not vest are forfeited.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation

In May 2015, the Company adopted the Central Valley Community Bancorp 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (2015 Plan). The plan provides for awards in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock. The plan also allows for performance awards that may be in the form of cash or shares of the Company’s common stock. With respect to stock options and restricted stock the exercise price in the case of stock options and the grant value in the case of restricted stock may not be less than the fair market value at the date of the award. The options and awards under the plan expire on dates determined by the Board of Directors, but not later than ten years from the date of grant. The vesting period for stock options and restricted stock rights is determined by the Board of Directors and ranges one to five years. The maximum number of shares that can be issued with respect to all awards under the plan is 875,000. Currently under the 2015 Plan, 149,830 shares remain reserved for future grants as of June 30, 2024.

Share-based compensation cost recognized for those plans was $187,000 and $368,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $158,000 and $519,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The recognized tax benefit for the share-based compensation expense, forfeitures of restricted stock, and exercise of stock options, resulted in the recognition of $6,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and $0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Stock Option Awards

The Company bases the fair value of the stock options granted on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes Merton option pricing model that uses assumptions based on expected option life and the level of estimated forfeitures, expected stock volatility, risk free interest rate, and dividend yield.  The expected term and level of estimated forfeitures of the Company’s stock options are based on the Company’s own historical experience.  Stock volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the U. S. Treasury yield curve for the periods within the contractual life of the stock options in effect at the time of grant.  The compensation cost for stock options granted is based on the weighted average grant date fair value per share.

A summary of the activity of the Company’s stock options for the six months June 30, 2024 follows (in thousands, except per share amounts): 

	Number of Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price
Options outstanding at December 31, 2023	—	$	—
Options issued at acquisition	390,462	13.23
Options granted	—	—
Options exercised	(5,017)	12.48
Options forfeited	—	—
Options outstanding at June 30, 2024	385,445	$	13.24

The significant assumptions used to estimate fair value of the issued options at the time of the acquisition included: risk free rate 4.35%; dividend rate 4.31%, expected volatility 46.95%, and a weighted average expected term of 4.92 years.

Information related to the stock option plan is as follows (in thousands):

Intrinsic value (in thousands)	$	2,032	$	—	$	2,032
Weighted average remaining contractual term (yrs.)	4.30		—		4.30

As of June 30, 2024, there is no unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options granted under the Plan. All options are fully vested and exercisable.

Restricted Stock and Common Stock Awards

The 2015 Plan provides for the issuance of restricted common stock to directors and officers and common stock awards based on the achievement of performance goals as determined by the Board of Directors or in accordance with executive employment agreements. Restricted common stock grants typically vest over a one to five-year period. Restricted common stock is subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to vesting. The cost of these awards is recognized over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of the grant.

The shares awarded to employees and directors under the restricted stock agreements vest on applicable vesting dates only to the extent the recipient of the shares is then an employee or a director of the Company or one of its subsidiaries, and each recipient will forfeit all of the shares that have not vested on the date his or her employment or service is terminated. Common stock awards for performance vest immediately. Holders of restricted stock awards receive non-forfeitable dividends at the same rate as common stockholders and they both share equally in undistributed earnings. Therefore, under the two-class method the difference in EPS is not significant for these participating securities.

The following table summarizes restricted stock activity for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 as follows:

	Shares	Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Nonvested outstanding shares at December 31, 2023	75,133	$	15.65
Granted	72,360	16.93
Vested	(43,558)	15.06
Forfeited	—	—
Nonvested outstanding shares at June 30, 2024	103,935	$	16.79

As of June 30, 2024, there were 103,935 shares of restricted stock that are nonvested and expected to vest. As of June 30, 2024, there was $1,633,228 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted common stock awards.  Restricted stock compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 2.39 years and will be adjusted for subsequent changes in estimated forfeitures. Restricted common stock awards had an intrinsic value of $1,744,860 at June 30, 2024.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Accounting

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Community West Bancshares and subsidiary have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). These interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Community West Bancshares and its wholly owned subsidiary Community West Bank (the Bank) (collectively, the Company). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been omitted. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at June 30, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three and six month interim periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment Reporting

Management has determined that since all of the banking products and services offered by the Company are available in each branch of the Bank, all branches are located within the same economic environment, and management does not allocate resources based on the performance of different lending or transaction activities, it is appropriate to aggregate the Bank branches and report them as a single operating segment.

Concentration of Credit Risk

No customer accounts for more than 10 percent of revenues for the Company or the Bank.

Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - In March 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance within Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-01, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards. The amendments in the ASU apply to companies that provide employees and non-employees with profits interest and similar awards to align compensation with the company’s operating performance and provide those holders with the opportunity to participate in future profits and/or equity appreciation of the company. The purpose of the ASU is to clarify the application of the scope guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) paragraph 718-10-15-3 in determining if a profit interest award should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718: Compensation—Stock Compensation. The amendment in ASC paragraph 718-10-15-3 is solely intended to improve the overall clarity and does not change the guidance.

The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. If the Company adopts the amendments in an interim period, it should adopt them as of the beginning of the annual period that includes the interim period. The amendments should be applied either (1) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements or (2) on a prospective basis. The Company has evaluated this ASU and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, as the Company does not typically provide these types of awards.

In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope. This ASU clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The ASU also amends the expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 to capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and to tailor the existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition. An entity may elect to apply ASU 2021-01 on contract modifications that change the interest rate used for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment retrospectively as of any date from the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020, or prospectively to new modifications from any date within the interim period that includes or is subsequent to January 7, 2021, up to the date that financial statements are available to be issued. An entity may elect to apply ASU 2021-01 to eligible hedging relationships existing as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020, and to new eligible hedging relationships entered into after the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. This ASU extends the period of time preparers can utilize the reference rate reform relief guidance in Topic 848. ASU 2022-06 defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. The Company is in the process of evaluating the provisions of this ASU but does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU was issued to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption of this accounting guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements but will result in the expansion of the income tax disclosures.

FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU was issued to address stakeholder requests for more detailed information about expenses within each reportable segment and address disclosure requirements there within. The amendments retain existing disclosure requirements, and expand upon them for both interim and annual reporting periods. In addition, entities with a single reportable segment must now provide all segment disclosures required, including the new disclosure requirements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption of this accounting guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements but will result in inclusion of certain segment reporting requirements not previously required.
