Second Quarter 2022 vs. First Quarter 2022
Net interest income increased $1.8 million, or 10.3%, primarily due to higher interest income on loans. Net interest margin was 4.21%, an increase of 9 basis points from 4.12%.
A $1.9 million increase in interest income on loans was primarily due to interest income increases of $941 thousand on real estate loans and $763 thousand on home mortgage loans driven by average balance increases of $40.6 million on real estate loans and $77.2 million on home mortgage loans.
The 9 basis point increase in net interest margin was primarily due to a 16 basis point increase in average yield on interest-earning assets.
Average loan yield was 4.91%, a 7 basis point increase from 4.84%, primarily due to a 19 basis point increase in contractual loan yield as a result of market rate increases by the Federal Reserve, partially offset by a 10 basis point decrease from lower SBA discount accretion income as a result of slower SBA loan payoffs.
Average yield on interesting-bearing deposits in other banks was 0.98%, a 79 basis point increase from 0.19%, primarily due to the Federal Reserve’s rate increases.
Average cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.50%, a 16 basis point increase from 0.34%. Average cost of deposits was 0.25%, an 8 basis point increase from 0.17%, primarily due to the Federal Reserve’s rate increases.
5



Second Quarter 2022 vs. Second Quarter 2021

A $4.1 million increase in interest income on loans was primarily due to higher average loan balance from loan growth in home loans, real estate loans, and C&I loans.
The improvement of 23 basis points in net interest margin was primarily due to a 25 basis point increase in average yield on interest-earning assets.
Average loan yield was 4.91%, an 8 basis point increase from 4.83%, primarily due to a 22 basis point increase in contractual loan yield as a result of market rate increases by the Federal Reserve, partially offset by an 8 basis point decrease from lower SBA discount accretion income as a result of lower SBA loan payoffs and a 7 basis point decrease in amortization of net deferred fees as a result of lower balance in net deferred fees on SBA PPP loans.
Average yield on interesting-bearing deposits in other banks was 0.98%, an 88 basis point increase from 0.10%, primarily due to the Federal Reserve’s rate increases. Average yield on available-for-sale debt securities was 1.70%, a 90 basis point increase from 0.80%, primarily due to purchases of higher yield securities in 2022.
Average cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.50%, an 8 basis point increase from 0.42% primarily due to the Federal Reserve’s rate increases. Average cost of deposits was 0.25%, a 2 basis point increase from 0.23%, primarily due to the Federal Reserve’s rate increases, partially offset by higher average balance of noninterest-bearing deposits.
Provision for loan losses
Second Quarter 2022 vs. First Quarter 2022
The Company recorded $996 thousand provision for loan losses, compared with a $341 thousand provision for loan losses. The $996 thousand provision for loan losses was primarily due to an increase of $746 thousand in quantitative reserves from loan growth in real estate and home mortgage loans and an adjustments of $270 thousand in qualitative assessments of our loan portfolio.

Second Quarter 2022 vs. First Quarter 2022

Total deposits were $1.74 billion as of June 30, 2022, up $69.6 million from March 31, 2022, primarily driven by growth in money market deposits and time deposits, partially offset by a decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits. Money market deposits and time deposits grew $62.5 million and $35.3 million, respectively, due to management’s proactive actions to support loan growth during the second quarter of 2022 including upward adjustments of interest rates on customer deposits and increases in wholesale deposits.
Second Quarter 2022 vs. Second Quarter 2021

Total deposits were $1.74 billion as of June 30, 2022, up $307.5 million from June 30, 2021, primarily driven by growth in noninterest-bearing deposits and money market deposits. Noninterest-bearing deposits were $820.3 million, up $152.1 million from $668.2 million as of June 30, 2021. The growth in noninterest-bearing deposits was primarily due to addition of new customers from our Specialty Deposit Center. Money market deposits were $519.4 million, up $132.8 million from $386.6 million at June 30, 2021, due to increases of $46 million in customer deposits and $87 million in wholesale deposits to support continued growth of the Company.

Overall, the Company continued to maintain solid asset quality with low levels of nonperforming loans and net charge-offs. Nonperforming assets and criticized loans remained below our historical norms, a reflection of our conservative credit culture and expertise in the industries we serve. Our allowance remained strong with an adjusted allowance to gross loans ratio of 1.25%. We expect economic metrics to remain relatively strong over the next year, which bodes well for growth; however, we remain
13


vigilant given potential impacts on our customers from continued supply chain and labor constraints as well as increases in inflation and market rates by the Federal Reserve.
Allowance for loan losses increased $3.0 million to $17.7 million from a year ago. Excluding the impacts of the purchased Hana loans, PPP loans, adjusted allowance to gross loans ratio was 1.25% as of June 30, 2022.
Criticized loans decreased by $5.3 million or 63.8% from a year ago, and the criticized loans to gross loans ratio improved by 47 basis points, primarily due to a $3.8 million payoff in one C&I relationship as well as improvements in credit risk ratings for SBA loans. Criticized loans are generally consistent with the Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss categories defined by regulatory authorities.
Nonperforming assets increased $1.4 million to $2.2 million, or 0.11% of total assets from a year ago. The increase in nonperforming assets was primarily due to home mortgage and SBA loans that were placed on nonaccrual in 2021. As of June 30, 2022, $346 thousand of nonaccrual loans was the guaranteed portion of SBA loans that are in liquidation. The Company did not have OREO as of June 30, 2022 or 2021.
Net recoveries were $34 thousand or 0.01% of average loans in the second quarter of 2022, compared to net charge-offs of $27 thousand in the second quarter of 2021.

COVID-19 Pandemic Update

As of June 30, 2022, one C&I loan with outstanding balance of $454 thousand was under COVID-19 loan payment modification, which has ended on July 19, 2022.

Since the PPP’s inception through June 30, 2022, we have funded $154.5 million, and $151.3 million of principal forgiveness has been provided on qualifying 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, 2022, March 31, 2022 and 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.
