President and Chief Executive Officer James Beckwith commented, “We delivered strong earnings this quarter through the execution of our organic growth strategy following our IPO in May 2021, which gained momentum with the planned addition of new staff and seized market opportunities. We continue to manage expenses, execute on conservative underwriting practices, and onboard customers who appreciate a differentiated customer experience based on our commitment to their success. Building and sustaining trust with our customers and community partners resulted in both deposit and loan growth. This quarter, we also declared another dividend to shareholders which exemplifies our focus on shareholder value. As we benefit from an improved economic outlook which drives consumer confidence, we will continue to expand our verticals to meet the increased demand in the markets we serve. We expect the acceleration of our growth and our disciplined business practices, to benefit our customers, employees, and shareholders.”

Summary Results

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company’s ROAA was 1.85% and the ROAE was 19.26%, as compared to 1.81% and 32.33%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in ROAA is the result of 18.09% higher net income despite the higher effective tax rate used in the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decline in ROAE is the result of increased average equity balance during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Balance Sheet Summary

Total assets at September 30, 2021 were $2.4 billion, an increase of $480.7 million from $2.0 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to a $240.3 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, a $201.9 million increase in loans, net of allowance for loan losses, and a $35.8 million increase in total investments. The increase in cash and cash equivalents since December 30, 2020 was primarily a result of net income recognized of $31.1 million, proceeds from the sale of securities of $40.8 million, an increase in deposits of $384.4 million, and net proceeds of $111.2 million from the issuance of 6,054,750 shares of common stock in our IPO. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $92.1 million related to sales of securities, total loan originations and advances, net of principal collected, of $201.9 million, and cash distributions of $49.4 million during the same period. Of the $201.9 million increase in total loans between December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2021, $102.5 million was related to PPP loan originations and $580.4 million was related to non-PPP loan originations, partially offset by $197.1 million in PPP loan forgiveness and $284.0 million in non-PPP loan payoffs and paydowns.

Total liabilities were $2.2 billion at September 30, 2021, an increase of $387.9 million from $1.8 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase in total liabilities was primarily attributable to growth in deposits of $384.4 million, largely due to increases in money market and non-interest-bearing deposits of $139.7 million and $199.8 million, respectively.

Total shareholders’ equity increased by $92.9 million, from $133.8 million at December 31, 2020 to $226.6 million at September 30, 2021, primarily as a result of net income recognized of $31.1 million and net proceeds of $111.2 million from the issuance of 6,054,750 shares of common stock in our IPO, partially offset by $49.4 million in cash distributions paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, net interest income increased $1.6 million, or 8.82%, to $19.9 million, compared to $18.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021. Additionally, net interest margin increased 12 basis points to 3.60% during the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to 3.48% during the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in net interest margin was due primarily to an improving yield on interest-earning assets related to income earned, including origination fees, from PPP loans forgiven during the quarter, which was 3.76% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, representing an increase of 8 basis points from 3.68% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Average loan yields increased 17 basis points from 4.73% during the three months ended June 30, 2021 to 4.90% during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Average loan yields, excluding PPP loans, decreased 10 basis points from 4.76% during the three months ended June 30, 2021 to 4.66% during the three months ended September 30, 2021. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure is set forth in the “Non-GAAP Reconciliation (Unaudited)” table included herein. The decline in interest expense is primarily attributed to the reduction in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, which decreased by four basis points to 0.29% as of September 30, 2021 from 0.33% at June 30, 2021, as a direct result of the declining interest rate environment.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, net interest income increased $3.7 million, or 22.68%, to $19.9 million, compared to $16.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020. Additionally, net interest margin increased 30 basis points to 3.60% during the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to 3.30% during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in net interest margin was due primarily to an increase in interest-earning assets, which increased from an average balance of $2.0 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2020 to an average balance of $2.2 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Average loan yields increased 32 basis points from 4.58% during the three months ended September 30, 2020 to 4.90% during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Average loan yields, excluding PPP loans, decreased 31 basis points from 4.97% during the three months ended September 30, 2020 to 4.66% during the three months ended September 30, 2021. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure is set forth in the “Non-GAAP Reconciliation (Unaudited)” table included herein. The decline in interest expense is primarily attributed to the reduction in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, which decreased by 37 basis points to 0.29% as of September 30, 2021 from 0.67% at September 30, 2020, as a direct result of the declining interest rate environment.

Asset Quality

Small Business Administration (“SBA”) PPP

In March 2020, the SBA PPP was created to help small businesses keep workers employed during the COVID-19 pandemic. As an SBA Preferred Lender, the Company was able to provide PPP loans to small business customers. As of September 30, 2021, there were 183 PPP loans outstanding totaling $61.5 million, which included 180 loans totaling $54.4 million funded during the first nine months of 2021 under the second round of the PPP stimulus plan. Approximately 72 of these PPP loans, or 39.34% of total PPP loans as of September 30, 2021, totaling $4.3 million, were less than or equal to $0.15 million and had access to streamlined forgiveness processing. As of September 30, 2021, 1,258 PPP loan forgiveness applications had been submitted to the SBA and forgiveness payments had been received on 1,245 of these PPP loans, totaling $292.7 million in principal and interest. We expect full forgiveness of the first round of PPP loans to be completed in the near term.

COVID-19 Deferments

Following the passage of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), the “Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised)” was issued by federal bank regulators, which offers temporary relief from troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) accounting for loan payment deferrals for certain customers whose businesses are experiencing economic hardship due to COVID-19. The Company is closely monitoring the effects of the pandemic on our loan and deposit customers. Our management team continues to be focused on assessing the risks in our loan portfolio and working with our customers to mitigate where possible the risk of potential losses. The Company implemented loan programs to allow certain consumers and businesses impacted by the pandemic to defer loan principal and interest payments. As of September 30, 2021, eight borrowing relationships with eight loans totaling $12.2 million were on COVID-19 deferment. All loans that ended COVID-19 deferments in the quarter ended September 30, 2021 returned to their contractual payment structures prior to the COVID-19 pandemic with no risk rating downgrades to classified nor any TDR, and we anticipate that the remaining loans on COVID-19 deferment will return to their pre-COVID-19 contractual payment status after their COVID-19 deferments end.

Allowance for Loan Losses

At September 30, 2021, the Company’s allowance for loan losses was $21.8 million, as compared to $22.2 million at December 31, 2020. At September 30, 2021, the Company’s ratio of nonperforming loans to period end loans of 0.03% remained unchanged compared to December 31, 2020. At September 30, 2021, eight loans totaling $12.2 million, or 0.72% of the loan portfolio, were in a COVID-19 deferment period and six loans totaling $0.7 million had been in a COVID-19 deferment in the second quarter of 2021 but were not in such deferment as of September 30, 2021. Loans designated as watch and substandard decreased slightly to $57.9 million at September 30, 2021 from $60.1 million at December 31, 2020, which did not have an impact to the reserve overall. There were no loans with doubtful risk grades at September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020. A summary of the allowance for loan losses by loan class is as follows:

Excluding SBA-guaranteed PPP loans, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.33% and 1.63% at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure is set forth in the “Non-GAAP Reconciliation (Unaudited)” table included herein.

Non-interest Income

The following table presents the key components of non-interest income for the periods indicated:

	For the three months ended				$			%
(dollars in thousands)	Sep 30, 2021		Jun 30, 2021		Change			Change
Service charges on deposit accounts	$	112	$	106	$	6			5.66	%
Gain on sale of securities		435		92		343			372.83	%
Gain on sale of loans		988		1,091		(103	)		(9.44	)%
Loan-related fees		87		211		(124	)		(58.77	)%
Dividends on FHLB stock		100		92		8			8.70	%
Earnings on bank-owned life insurance		68		60		8			13.33	%
Other income		238		194		44			22.68	%
Total non-interest income	$	2,028	$	1,846	$	182			9.86	%

Non-interest income during the three months ended September 30, 2021 increased $0.2 million, or 9.86%, to $2.0 million, compared to $1.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021. Gain on sale of securities increased by $0.3 million, or 372.83%, during the quarter, totaling $0.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily due to the sale of approximately $24.6 million of municipal securities, mortgage-backed securities, and U.S. government treasuries during the three months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in gain on sale of loans of $0.1 million, or 9.44%, and a decrease in loan-related fees of $0.1 million, or 58.77%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The decline in gain on sale of loans related to a change in the fiscal transfer agent in the SBA’s 7a loan guarantee program, effective August 30, 2021. The change in transfer agent slowed the Company’s ability to sell loans in September 2021, thus resulting in a decline in gain on sale of loans. The decrease in loan-related fees resulted primarily from a decrease in swap referral fees recognized in the quarter ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

The following table presents the key components of non-interest income for the periods indicated:

	For the three months ended				$			%
(dollars in thousands)	Sep 30, 2021		Sep 30, 2020		Change			Change
Service charges on deposit accounts	$	112	$	93	$	19			20.43	%
Gain on sale of securities		435		275		160			58.18	%
Gain on sale of loans		988		1,194		(206	)		(17.25	)%
Loan-related fees		87		710		(623	)		(87.75	)%
Dividends on FHLB stock		100		74		26			35.14	%
Earnings on bank-owned life insurance		68		59		9			15.25	%

Total non-interest income	$	2,028	$	2,535	$	(507	)		(20.00	)%

Non-interest income during the three months ended September 30, 2021 decreased $0.5 million, or 20.00%, to $2.0 million, compared to $2.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020. Gain on sale of loans decreased by $0.2 million, or 17.25%, to $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decline in gain on sale of loans related to a change in the fiscal transfer agent in the SBA’s 7a loan guarantee program, effective August 30, 2021. The change in transfer agent slowed the Company’s ability to sell loans in September 2021, thus resulting in a decline in gain on sale of loans. Additionally, the decline in gain on sale of loans resulted from lower volumes period over period. Loan-related fees decreased by $0.6 million, or 87.75%, to $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in loan-related fees resulted primarily from a $0.3 million decrease in swap referral fees recognized in the quarter ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2020, combined with $0.4 million of loan-related fees earned during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 for processing micro-loans to businesses in the local area in response to COVID-19, which did not recur in the quarter ended September 30, 2021. These declines were partially offset by an increase in gain on sale of securities of approximately $0.2 million, or 58.18%, to $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. This increase was primarily due to the sale of approximately $24.6 million of municipal securities, mortgage-backed securities, and U.S. government treasuries during the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to sales of approximately $7.7 million of municipal and mortgage-backed securities during the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Non-interest Expense

The following table presents the key components of non-interest expense for the periods indicated:

	For the three months ended				$			%
(dollars in thousands)	Sep 30, 2021		Jun 30, 2021		Change			Change
Salaries and employee benefits	$	4,980	$	4,939	$	41			0.83	%

Total non-interest expense	$	8,641	$	9,580	$	(939	)		9.80	%

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 decreased $0.9 million, or 9.80%, to $8.6 million, as compared to $9.6 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2021, primarily as a result of a $0.8 million, or 61.48%, decrease in professional services and a $0.6 million, or 33.35%, decrease in other operating expenses, partially offset by an increase of $0.2 million, or 111.93%, in loan-related expenses. The $0.8 million decrease in professional services was primarily a result of $0.7 million of audit, consulting, and legal costs incurred in the quarter ended June 30, 2021 to support corporate organizational matters leading up to the Company’s IPO in May 2021, which did not recur in the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Other operating expenses, which are comprised of travel, insurance, postage and supplies, director fees, other employee expenses, armored car expenses, courier services, and other miscellaneous administrative expenses, decreased by $0.6 million, primarily due to stock compensation expense recognized in the quarter ended June 30, 2021 for director grants of $0.8 million, which did not recur in the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Loan-related expenses increased by $0.2 million, primarily as a result of a $0.2 million accrual for an SBA matter in the normal course of business.

The following table presents the key components of non-interest expense for the periods indicated:

	For the three months ended				$			%
(dollars in thousands)	Sep 30, 2021		Sep 30, 2020		Change			Change
Salaries and employee benefits	$	4,980	$	3,969	$	1,011			25.47	%
Occupancy and equipment		502		447		55			12.30	%
Data processing and software		611		529		82			15.50	%
FDIC insurance		110		320		(210	)		(65.63	)%
Professional services		505		447		58			12.98	%
Advertising and promotional		366		264		102			38.64	%
Loan-related expenses		462		185		277			149.73	%
Other operating expenses		1,105		1,073		32			2.98	%
Total non-interest expense	$	8,641	$	7,234	$	1,407			19.45	%

Non-interest expense increased by $1.4 million, or 19.45%, to $8.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, primarily as a result of a $1.0 million, or 25.47%, increase in salaries and employee benefits and a $0.3 million, or 149.73%, increase in loan-related expenses, partially offset by a $0.2 million, or 65.63%, decrease in FDIC insurance. Salaries and employee benefits increased by $1.0 million to $5.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. This increase was primarily related to an increase of full-time equivalent employees, increased commissions related to our loan and deposit growth for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to September 30, 2020, and restricted stock compensation expense recognized for employee grants of $0.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Loan-related expenses increased by $0.3 million period-over-period to $0.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, due to a $0.2 million accrual for an SBA matter in the normal course of business. FDIC insurance decreased from $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to an improvement in the leverage ratio used in the FDIC assessment as a result of the Company’s IPO in May 2021.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company terminated its status as a “Subchapter S” corporation as of May 5, 2021, in connection with the Company’s IPO and became a C Corporation. Prior to that date, as an S Corporation, the Company had no U.S. federal income tax expense. The provision recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was calculated using an effective tax rate of 20.77%, representing the weighted average rate between the S Corporation tax rate of 3.50% and the C Corporation tax rate of 29.56% based on the number of days as each type of corporation during 2021. Refer to the section entitled “Pro Forma C Corporation Income Tax Expense” below for a discussion on what the Company’s income tax expense and net income would have been had the Company been taxed as a C Corporation for the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020.

In conjunction with the termination of the Subchapter S corporation status as of May 5, 2021, the C Corporation deferred tax assets and liabilities were estimated for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of the Company’s existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The deferred tax assets and liabilities were measured using tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of the change in tax rates resulting from becoming a C Corporation was recognized as a net deferred tax asset of $5.4 million and a reduction to the provision for income taxes of $4.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Provision for income taxes for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 increased by $1.5 million, or 209.26%, to $2.3 million, as compared to $0.7 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2021. This increase is due to the change in the annual effective tax rate used from 3.50% prior to the IPO to 20.77% after the IPO, as noted above, as applied to estimated taxable income during the quarter ended September 30, 2021. During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the provision for income taxes was partially offset by the $4.6 million reduction to the provision for income taxes for the adjustment of the net deferred tax assets due to the termination of the Company’s S Corporation status.

Provision for income taxes increased by $1.9 million, or 565.69%, to $2.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. This increase is due to the change in the effective tax rate used from 3.50% to 20.77%, as noted above, and as applied to estimated taxable income during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, as noted above.

Pro Forma C Corporation Income Tax Expense

Because of the Company’s status as a Subchapter S Corporation prior to May 5, 2021, no U.S. federal income tax expense was recorded for the S Corporation period of the three months ended June 30, 2021 and for the entirety of the three months ended September 30, 2020. Had the Company been taxed as a C Corporation and paid U.S. federal income tax for such periods, the combined statutory income tax rate would have been 29.56% in each period. These pro forma statutory rates reflect a U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.00% and a California income tax rate of 8.56%, after adjustment for the federal tax benefit, on corporate taxable income. Had the Company been subject to U.S. federal income tax for each of these periods, on a statutory income tax rate pro forma basis, the provision for combined federal and state income tax would have been $3.1 million and $2.9 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively. As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company’s pro forma net income (after U.S. federal and California state income tax) for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020 would have been $7.4 million and $6.8 million, respectively.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation (Unaudited)

The Company uses financial information in its analysis of the Company’s performance that are not in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP. However, the Company acknowledges that its non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations. As such, investors should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other banking companies use. Other banking companies may use names similar to those the Company uses for the non-GAAP financial measures the Company discloses but may calculate them differently. Investors should understand how the Company and other companies each calculate their non-GAAP financial measures when making comparisons.

Tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets is defined as total equity less goodwill and other intangible assets, divided by total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is total shareholders’ equity to total assets. We had no goodwill or other intangible assets as of any of the dates indicated. As a result, tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets is the same as total shareholders’ equity to total assets as of each of the dates indicated.

Average loan yield, excluding PPP loans, is defined as the daily average loan yield, excluding SBA-guaranteed PPP loans, and includes both performing and nonperforming loans. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is average loan yield. 

Allowance for loan losses to total loans, excluding SBA-guaranteed PPP loans, is defined as allowance for loan losses, divided by total loans less SBA-guaranteed PPP loans. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is allowance for loan losses to total loans. 

The following reconciliation tables provide a more detailed analysis of these non-GAAP financial measures.
