Second Quarter 2021 vs. First Quarter 2021

Net interest income increased $1.8 million, or 14%, primarily due to an elevated average loan balance, higher interest income resulting from the Hana loan purchase and a lower average cost of deposits. Net interest margin was 3.98%, an increase of 18 basis points from 3.80%.

• An increase of $1.7 million in interest income from loans was primarily due to higher loan balances and higher loan yields driven by the accretion of discounts from purchased loans.
• A decrease of $114 thousand in interest expense from interest-bearing deposits was primarily due to the impact of lower interest rates, which drove a repricing of interest-bearing deposits.
• An increase of 18 basis points in net interest margin was primarily driven by a 12 basis point increase in the yield on average interest-earning assets and a nine basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
• Average loan yield was 4.83%, an increase of 21 basis points from 4.62%, reflecting the impact of average loan growth and the accretion of discounts resulting from the Hana loan purchase.
• Average cost of deposits was 0.23%, a decrease of six basis points from 0.29%. The decrease in the cost of deposits primarily reflects continued downward repricing of time deposits.

Second Quarter 2021 vs. Second Quarter 2020

Net interest income increased $3.9 million, or 37%, primarily due to higher average loan balance and lower average cost of deposits. Net interest margin was 3.98%, an increase of 43 basis points from 3.55%.

• An increase of $2.4 million in interest income from loans was primarily due to average loan growth.
• A decrease of $1.5 million in interest expense from interest-bearing deposits was primarily due to continued downward adjustment in deposit rates.
• The improvement of 43 basis points in net interest margin was primarily driven by an 82 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a 12 basis point decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets.
• Average loan yield remained flat at 4.83%.
• Average cost of deposits was 0.23%, a decrease of 60 basis points from 0.83%. The decrease in the cost of deposits primarily reflects the impact of lower interest rates and changes in deposit mix.

Provision for loan losses

Second Quarter 2021 vs. First Quarter 2021

Provision for loan losses decreased $1.7 million, or 279%, primarily due to continued improvements in the economic environment and reductions in estimates of uncollectible accrued interest receivable as compared with the first quarter of 2021.

Second Quarter 2021 vs. Second Quarter 2020

Provision for loan losses decreased $3.1 million, or 156%, primarily due to the aforementioned factors above.

Second Quarter 2021 vs. First Quarter 2021

Noninterest income decreased $746 thousand, or 25%, primarily due to lower gains on sale of loans and loan servicing fees, net of amortization.

• Gains on sale of loans were $1.2 million, down $672 thousand from first quarter 2021. The decrease resulted primarily from reduced gain on sale of SBA loans due to lower SBA loan sale activity. The Company sold $10.6 million in SBA loans at an average premium of 11.48%, compared with the sale of $22.4 million at an average premium of 10.51%.
• Loan servicing fees, net of amortization, were $302 thousand, down $229 thousand from first quarter 2021. The decrease was primarily due to higher amortization of servicing assets associated with loan payoffs, partially offset by higher servicing fee income resulting from purchased loans. Servicing fee income, net of amortization, from the Hana loan purchase was $27 thousand.

Second Quarter 2021 vs. Second Quarter 2020

Noninterest income increased $158 thousand, or 8%, primarily due to higher gains on sale of loans and service charges on deposits, partially offset by lower loan servicing fees, net of amortization.

• Gains on sales of loans were $1.2 million, up $274 thousand from second quarter 2020. The increase was mainly driven by higher sales premiums. The Company sold $10.6 million in SBA loans at an average premium of 11.48%, compared with the sale of $14.9 million at an average premium of 7.94%.
• Servicing charges on deposits were $393 thousand, up $95 thousand from second quarter 2020. The increase was driven by increases in account analysis fees and wire fees.
• Loan servicing fees, net of amortization, were $302 thousand, down $212 thousand from the second quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily due to aforementioned factors above.

Second Quarter 2021 vs. First Quarter 2021

Noninterest expense increased $823 thousand, or 10%, primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits, and foundation donation and other contributions.

• Salaries and employee benefits were $5.3 million, up $645 thousand from first quarter 2021. The increase was primarily due to lower deferred loan origination costs. During the first quarter of 2021, the deferred loan origination costs were higher due to the origination of a second draw of PPP loans.
• Foundation donation and other contributions were $640 thousand, up $133 thousand from first quarter 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher donation accruals for Open Stewardship Foundation as a result of higher net income compared to first quarter of 2021.

Second Quarter 2021 vs. Second Quarter 2020

Noninterest expense increased $1.5 million, or 20%, primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits, and foundation donation and other contributions.

• Salaries and employee benefits were $5.3 million, up $960 thousand from second quarter 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher SBA incentive expense and an increase in the number of employees to support continued growth of the Company.
• Foundation donation and other contributions were $640 thousand, up $395 thousand from second quarter 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher donation accruals for Open Stewardship Foundation as a result of higher net income compared to second quarter of 2020.

Deposit growth was primarily driven by customers’ preferences for liquidity given the economic uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as PPP funds held in deposit accounts.

Capital ratios remained strong during the quarter. Our CET1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 12.77% and 14.03% as of June 30, 2021, respectively, down from a year ago due to year-over-year asset growth.

(1) Excludes (reversal of) provision for uncollectible accrued interest receivable of $(487) thousand and $636 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively. There was no provision for uncollectible accrued interest receivable for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
(2) Excludes allowance for uncollectible accrued interest receivable of $792 thousand and $1.3 million as of June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively. There was no allowance for uncollectible accrued interest receivable as of June 30, 2020.

Overall, the Company maintained solid asset quality with low levels of nonperforming loans and net charge-offs. Nonperforming assets to gross loans remained flat at 0.10% from the second quarter of 2020. Economic conditions, including employment and consumer spending, improved through the quarter. However, the economic outlook continues to be uncertain with the unprecedented impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, we maintained our allowance to 1.18% of gross loans, and our allowance to nonperforming loans was strong at 12 times. We continued to work closely with our customers, carefully reviewing current and projected financial performance, providing assistance as warranted, and adjusting risk ratings as appropriate, which was reflected in the increase in classified loans.

• Allowance for loan losses increased $1.9 million to $14.7 million from a year ago.
  • Excluding the impacts of the purchased Hana loans, PPP loans, and the allowance for uncollectible accrued interest receivable, adjusted allowance to gross loans ratio was 1.46% as of June 30, 2021. There was no allowance for loan losses required for the purchased Hana loans as of June 30, 2021. (See the Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures.)
• Classified loans increased $4.3 million to $7.2 million, or 0.57% of gross loans from a year ago. Classified loans are generally consistent with the Substandard and Doubtful categories defined by regulatory authorities.
  • The increase in classified loans was primarily due to $3.4 million in one C&I relationship, which is fully secured by a single family residence, and $1.6 million in SBA loans from purchased loans.
• Nonperforming assets increased $244 thousand to $1.3 million, or 0.08% of total assets from a year ago.
  • The increase in nonperforming assets was primarily due to $940 thousand of nonperforming assets from the Hana loan purchase, partially offset by a decrease of $689 thousand in home mortgage loans.
  • The Company did not have OREO as of both June 30, 2021 and 2020.
• Net charge-offs were $27 thousand or 0.01% of average loans compared to net recoveries of $28 thousand, or 0.01% of average loans for the second quarter of 2020.

The Company continue to carefully monitor the trajectory of the economic recovery, which could be impacted by the emergence of new variants and continued spread of COVID-19. In addition, we continue to support our clients, employees and communities. During the second quarter of 2021, we originated $13.9 million PPP loans.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to GAAP measures, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance.

Pre-provision net revenue removes provision for loan losses and income tax expense. Management believes that this non-GAAP measure, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures (as applicable), provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance. This non-GAAP financial measure also facilitates a comparison of our performance to prior periods.

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company purchased 638 loans from Hana for a total purchase price of $97.6 million. The Company evaluated $100.0 million of the loans purchased in accordance with the provisions of ASC 310-20, Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs, which were recorded with a $8.9 million discount. As a result, the fair value discount on these loans is being accreted into interest income over the expected life of the loans using the effective yield method. Adjusted loan yield and net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2021 excluded the impacts of contractual interest and discount accretion of the purchased loans as management does not consider purchasing loan portfolios to be normal or recurring transactions. Management believes that presenting the adjusted average loan yield and net interest margin provide comparability to prior periods and these non-GAAP financial measures provide supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance.

Adjusted allowance to gross loans ratio removes the impacts of purchased loans, PPP loans and allowance on accrued interest receivable. Management believes that this ratio provides greater consistency and comparability between the Company’s results and those of its peer banks.
