COVID-19 Pandemic

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and governmental and societal responses thereto, have had a severe impact on recent global economic and market conditions, including significant disruption of, and volatility in, financial markets; global supply chain disruptions; and the institution of social distancing and shelter-in-place requirements that have resulted in temporary closures of many businesses, lost revenues, and increased unemployment throughout the U.S., but also specifically in California, where most of the Company’s operations and a large majority of its customers are located. While California’s and New York’s shelter-at-home limits were largely lifted in June 2021, the local economies in the Company’s primary markets have not yet fully recovered.

Since the beginning of the crisis, the Company has taken a number of steps to protect the safety of its employees and to support its customers. The Company has enabled its staff to work remotely and established safety measures within its bank premises and branches for both employees and customers. In order to support its customers, the Company has been in close contact with them, assessing the level of impact on their businesses, and putting a process in place to evaluate each client’s specific situation and provide relief programs where appropriate.

In addition, the Company has been monitoring its liquidity and capital closely. As of September 30, 2021, the Company maintained $215.0 million, or 10.2% of total assets, of cash and cash equivalents and $606.9 million, or 28.8% of total assets, of available borrowing capacity. All regulatory capital ratios were also well above the regulatory well-capitalized requirements as of September 30, 2021.

At this time, the Company cannot estimate the long term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but these conditions are expected to impact its business, results of operations, and financial condition negatively.

Network and Data Incident

As previously disclosed, on August 30, 2021, the Bank identified unusual activity on its network, responded promptly to disable the activity, investigate its source and monitor the Bank’s network. The Bank subsequently became aware of claims that it had been the target of a ransomware attack, and on September 7, 2021, determined that an external actor had accessed or acquired certain data on its network. The Bank has been working with third-party forensic investigators to understand the nature and scope of the incident and determine what information may have been accessed and what clients were impacted. The investigation, which is continuing, revealed that this incident impacted files containing certain Bank customer information, including in some cases personal information of customers and customers’ employees. The Bank has notified or will notify all individuals identified to date, consistent with applicable laws, whose information may have been impacted. All impacted individuals will be offered free Equifax Complete Premier credit monitoring and identity theft protection services. The Bank has notified law enforcement and appropriate authorities of the incident.

(1)

Total funding is the sum of interest-bearing liabilities and noninterest-bearing deposits. The cost of total funding is calculated as annualized total interest expense divided by average total funding.

Loans. The increase in average yield for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to an increase in net amortization of deferred loan fees from an increased forgiveness of SBA PPP loans, partially offset by a decrease in net accretion of discount on loans. The decreases in average yield for the current quarter and year-to-date period compared with the same periods of 2020 were primarily due to a decrease in overall interest rates on loans from lower market rates, partially offset by increases in net accretion of discount on loans and net amortization of deferred loan fees.

The following table presents a composition of total loans by interest rate type accompanied with the weighted-average contractual rates as of the dates indicated:

		9/30/2021						6/30/2021						12/31/2020						9/30/2020
		% to Total Loans			Weighted-Average Contractual Rate			% to Total Loans			Weighted-Average Contractual Rate			% to Total Loans			Weighted-Average Contractual Rate			% to Total Loans			Weighted-Average Contractual Rate

Hybrid rate loans		26.4	%		4.28	%		22.5	%		4.52	%		20.8	%		4.82	%		12.2	%		4.98	%
Variable rate loans		43.7	%		3.96	%		43.6	%		3.99	%		47.5	%		4.06	%		47.2	%		4.10	%

Investment Securities. The increase in average yield for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to a decrease in net amortization of premiums on mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. The decreases in average yield for the current quarter and year-to-date period compared with the same periods of 2020 were primarily due to new investment securities purchased at lower market rates.

Other Interest-Earning Assets. The increase in average yield for the current quarter compared with the year-ago quarters was primarily due to an increase in dividend income on Federal Home Loan Bank stock. The decrease in average yield for the current year-to-date period compared with the previous year-to-date period was primarily due to lower market rates. The decreases in average balance for the current quarter and year-to-date period compared with the same periods of 2020 were primarily due to an increase in loans, partially offset by an increase in deposits. The Company maintains most of its cash at the Federal Reserve Bank account. For additional detail, please see the discussion in “Loans” and “Deposits” under the “Balance Sheet” discussion.

Interest-Bearing Deposits. The decreases in average cost for the current quarter and year-to-date period were primarily due to the decreases in market rates.

Borrowings. The increases in average cost for the current quarter and year-to-date period compared with the same periods of 2020 were primarily due to matured borrowings with lower interest rates during the current year-to-date period. Matured FHLB advances totaled $70.0 million with a weighted-average rate of 0.47% for the current year-to-date period. At September 30, 2021, the Company had a term FHLB advance of $10.0 million with an interest rate of 2.07% that matures on June 29, 2022.

Provision (reversal) for Loan Losses

Provision (reversal) for loan losses was $(1.1) million for the current quarter compared with $(934) thousand for the previous quarter and $4.3 million for the year-ago quarter. For the current and previous year-to-date periods, provision (reversal) for loan losses was $(3.1) million and $11.1 million, respectively. The reversals for the current and previous quarters were primarily due to a decrease in historical loss and qualitative adjustment factor allocations as a result of improving economic conditions. The Company recorded net charge-offs (recoveries) of $30 thousand for the current quarter compared with $(309) thousand for the previous quarter and $28 thousand for the year-ago quarter. For the current and previous year-to-date periods, net charge-offs (recoveries) were $(431) thousand and $911 thousand, respectively.

Adjusted allowance for loan losses to loans held-for-investment ratio⁽¹⁾ was 1.48%, 1.62%, 1.83% and 1.70% at September 30, 2021, June 30, 2021, December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively.

____________________________________

Salaries and Employee Benefits. The increase for the current quarter compared the previous quarter was primarily due to the incentive tied to the sales of Loan Production Offices (“LPO”) originated SBA loans and the incentive for SBA PPP loan production paid during the current quarter. The increase for the current quarter and year-to-date period compared with the same periods of 2020 were primarily due to increases in wages, bonus accrual, and the incentives for LPO originated SBA loan sales and SBA PPP loan production, partially offset by decreases in vacation and stock compensation expense.

Professional Fees. The decrease for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter were primarily due to a decrease in expenses related to internal audit. The decrease for the current year-to-date period compared with the previous year-to-date period was primarily due to decreases in expenses related to the Bank’s Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering (“BSA/AML”) compliance enhancements.

Director fees and expense. The increase for the current quarter compared with the year-ago quarter was primarily due to the Board of Directors’ decision to temporarily decrease fees during the year-ago quarter. The decrease for the current year-to-date period compared with the previous year-to-date period was primarily due to a severance payment for a former director in the first quarter of 2020.

Regulatory Assessments. The decrease for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to an adjustment made for the assessment rate decrease for the previous quarter. The decreases for the current quarter and year-to-date period compared with the same periods of 2020 were primarily due to a decrease in assessment rate, partially offset by an increase in balance sheet growth.

Loan Modifications Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic

The Company provided modifications, including interest only payments or payment deferrals, to customers that were adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The loan modifications met all criteria under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act. Therefore, the modified loans were not considered TDRs. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had no loans under modified terms related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Total loans under modified terms related to the COVID-19 pandemic were $16.2 million at June 30, 2021, $36.1 million at December 31, 2020 and $171.6 million at September 30, 2020.

The increases in special mention and classified loans for the current year periods were primarily due to the loans that were granted modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic in excess of 6 months, on a cumulative basis. The Company had classified these loans as special mention or classified. Special mention and classified loans included $15.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively, at September 30, 2021, $16.4 million and $6.2 million, respectively, at June 30, 2021, and $14.9 million and $4.2 million, respectively, at December 31, 2020, of the loans that were granted such modifications.

The decrease for the current quarter was primarily due to principal pay-downs and calls of $9.3 million and net premium amortization of $222 thousand, partially offset by purchases of $7.8 million. The increase in investment securities for the current year-to-date period was primarily due to purchases of $47.3 million, partially offset by principal pay-downs and calls of $32.2 million and net premium amortization of $811 thousand.

The decrease in retail time deposits for the current quarter was primarily due to matured and closed accounts of $135.7 million, partially offset by new accounts of $17.1 million, renewals of the matured accounts of $95.8 million, and balance increases of $3.2 million. The decrease in retail time deposits for the current year-to-date period was primarily due to matured and closed accounts of $457.6 million, partially offset by new accounts of $76.4 million, renewals of the matured accounts of $328.5 million, and balance increases of $9.9 million.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted allowance for loan losses to loans held-for-investment ratio

Adjusted allowance for loan losses to loans held-for-investment ratio calculated by removing SBA PPP loans from loans held-for-investment from the allowance for loan losses to loans held-for-investment ratio calculation. The SBA launched the PPP to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The SBA guarantees 100% of the PPP loans made to eligible borrowers, and the loans are eligible to be forgiven if certain conditions are met, at which point the SBA will make payments to the Bank for the forgiven amounts. The SBA guarantee on PPP loans cannot be separated from the loan and therefore is not a separate unit of account. The Company considered the SBA guarantee in the allowance for loan losses evaluation and determined that it is not required to reserve an allowance on SBA PPP loans. Management believes this non-GAAP measure enhances comparability to prior periods and provide supplemental information regarding the Company’s credit trends.
