LA JOLLA, Calif., April 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Private Bancorp of America, Inc. (OTCQX:PBAM), (“Company”) and CalPrivate Bank (“Bank”) announced unaudited financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2021. The Company reported net income of $4.6 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2021 compared to $4.4 million, or $0.78 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2020.   

Rick Sowers, President and CEO of the Company and the Bank stated, “We are pleased with the progress the Team continues to make in growing the Company and increasing our operating leverage. Loan demand is beginning to show signs of returning as the overall economy begins to open up and we expect that this will translate into new opportunities for our Clients and the Bank. We remain focused on building strong Relationships with our Clients and bringing a Solutions based approach to Private and Business Banking.”

Sowers continued, “Our SBA Team at Private Business Capital has positioned itself well in the markets we serve and this led to increased loan fundings and gain on sale income in the first quarter. Given the opportunities in the marketplace with reduced SBA fees, we anticipate a continued contribution to non-interest income in 2021. Additionally, the Bank was able to support our Clients and Communities with round 2 of the Paycheck Protection Program and originated loans totaling over $100 million in the quarter.”

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the first quarter totaled $12.8 million representing a decrease of $1.8 million, or 12.5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 and an increase of $1.3 million or 10.8% increase for the same period in 2020. The decrease in net interest income for the quarter is due to a $1.4 million decrease in loan income. The decrease is due to a $1.5 million decrease in SBA PPP loan income during the quarter resulting from less loan forgiveness/payoffs and $607 thousand in higher borrowing costs. The increase in borrowing costs is due to a $619 thousand prepayment penalty associated with repaying $25 million in higher cost FHLB term advances. The increase compared to the first quarter of 2020 is due to increased average loan balances and lower funding costs partially offset by an increase in borrowing costs resulting from prepaying FHLB term advances.

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin for the first quarter of 2021 was 3.89% (3.75% excluding PPP loans) compared with 4.74% (4.18% excluding PPP loans) for the fourth quarter of 2020 and 4.46% for the same period in 2020. The 85 bp decrease in the net interest margin for the quarter was due to less revenue from SBA PPP loans, lower loan yields and the costs associated with prepaying FHLB advances. The yield on earning assets for the first quarter of 2021 was 4.42% compared with 5.14% in the fourth quarter and 5.35% for the same period in 2020. The yield on loans for the quarter decreased to 5.50% (5.48% excluding PPP loans) compared to 6.15% (5.62% excluding PPP loans) in the fourth quarter and 5.99% in the first quarter of 2020. The cost of total funding sources was 0.57% for the quarter compared with 0.43% in the fourth quarter and 0.95% for the same period in 2020. The increase in funding costs for the quarter was negatively impacted by 20 bps from prepaying fixed rate FHLB advances.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2021, representing a $235 thousand or 14.4% increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 and a $725 thousand or 63.3% increase compared to the same period in 2020. The increase in non-interest income for the quarter is primarily due to $306 thousand in additional revenue from SBA loans sales recorded in the first quarter. The increase in non-interest income compared to a year ago is primarily due to $797 thousand in additional gains from the sale of SBA loans partially offset by a $170 thousand decrease in loan referral fees.   SBA loan sales for the first quarter were $13.2 million with a 14.1% trade premium compared with $14.1 million with a 12.3% trade premium in the fourth quarter of 2020 and $11.2 million with a 9.8% trade premium in the first quarter of 2020.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $7.8 million for the first quarter of 2021 representing a $647 thousand or 7.7% decrease compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 and a $888 thousand or 10.3% decrease, compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease in expenses for the quarter was primarily due to decreases in salaries and benefits and professional fees partially offset by an increase in occupancy expense. The decrease compared to the first quarter of 2020 was due to decreases in salaries and benefits and professional services partially offset by an increase in data processing expense. The reduction in salaries and benefits, as compared to the first quarter of 2020, is due to an increase in deferred loan origination costs and less vacation expense.

Balance Sheet

At March 31, 2021, the Company reported total assets of $1.4 billion representing an increase of $30 million or 2.3% compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 and an increase of $173.8 million or 14.7% compared to March 31, 2020. The increase in assets for the quarter was due to increases in loans and investment securities offset by a decrease in cash and due from banks. Loans increased $83.1 million or 8.3% in the quarter due to a $71.4 million increase in SBA-PPP loans and a $11.7 million increase in non-SBA PPP loans. Total deposits were $1.2 billion representing an increase of $50.7 million, or 4.6%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 and an increase of $201.4 million, or 20.9%, compared to March 31, 2020. Total non-interest-bearing deposits represented 50% of total deposits at March 31, 2021 compared with 48% at December 31, 2020 and 37% at March 31, 2020.   Total FHLB advances decreased $25 million as the Company elected to prepay longer-term FHLB advances, at a cost of $619 thousand.

The Company generated $104.0 million of new PPP loans in the quarter. As of March 31, 2021 $33.8 million of round 1 loans remained outstanding with 78% forgiven by the SBA or repaid by the borrower. A total of $1.4 million of fees and interest related to PPP loans were recorded in the quarter.

Asset Quality and Loan Deferrals

The Allowance for Loan Losses increased $299 thousand to $14.6 million in the quarter with a resulting coverage ratio of 1.33% of total loans outstanding, including PPP loans, compared to $14.3 million or 1.41% at the fourth quarter of 2020 and $9.6 million or 1.07% at the first quarter of 2020. The increase in the Allowance for Loan Losses was primarily due to loan growth and qualitative factors related to the general economic outlook in the markets we serve and the potential impact on the loan portfolio resulting from economic uncertainties related to COVID-19. The coverage ratio at March 31, 2021, excluding the impact of PPP loans, increased to 1.52% from 1.51% in the prior quarter.

As of March 31, 2021, there were no doubtful credits or charge offs and no past due loans at the end of the quarter and Classified assets totaled $11.1 million. Classified assets included one loan totaling $1.6 million on non-accrual and the remaining $9.5 million consisted of ten relationships with three borrowers related to the impacts of COVID-19.

At March 31, 2021, five loans totaling $26.2 million are on COVID-19 related deferrals. No new deferrals were granted during the quarter and of the loans on deferral, three loans, or $23.6 million are real estate secured with an average LTV of 50 %. Two loans totaling $2.6 million are unsecured.

“The record last twelve months EPS of $2.41 reflects CalPrivate Bank’s success on PPP loan programs and the Team’s dedication to working with clients on forgiveness of those loans, as well as the continued focus on providing outstanding solutions and service to all our clients. These results were attained during a period of general economic disruption and uncertainty, while continuing to make investments in people and technology”, said Selwyn Isakow Chairman of the Board of the Company and the Bank.

Isakow added, “The dramatic decline in loan payment deferrals and experiencing no delinquent loans, is a tribute to the Bank’s solid credit underwriting and loan portfolio management teams as well as to the relationship managers and our clients. The bank remains well-positioned for future growth within clearly defined risk management parameters.”
