Min Kim, President and Chief Executive Officer:

“We are pleased to report record earnings of $9.1 million, or $0.59 per diluted common share in the fourth quarter. Our loans and deposits grew 25% and 28%, respectively, from a year ago. The loan growth has come from all our loan categories. During the fourth quarter, we have added a new Specialty Deposit Center, which focuses on servicing escrow and trust clients. The growth in our noninterest-bearing deposits during the fourth quarter, which reached a record level at 51% of total deposits, was largely attributable to the Specialty Deposit Center. Our efficiency was also significantly improved as we focused on managing expenses while growing our revenue-generating activities. The economy seems poised for continued growth over the next several quarters despite headwinds related to the Omicron variant, inflation, and supply chain bottlenecks. We remain optimistic about the future and will continue to focus on executing our strategic goals while maintaining appropriate risk and control environment.”

See reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.

In addition, the Company purchased home mortgage loans with unpaid principal balance of $48.9 million from third-party sellers in December 2021. Because these loans generally earn interest at a rate that is higher than current market rates, the loans were purchased at a premium to par, resulting in a total purchase price of $49.5 million. The Company amortizes the purchase premium over the expected life of the portfolio using the interest method of accounting.

Fourth Quarter 2021 vs. Third Quarter 2021

Net interest income increased $507 thousand, or 3%, primarily due to higher interest income on loans. Net interest margin was 4.07%, a decrease of 14 basis points from 4.21%.

  • An increase of $349 thousand in interest income from loans was primarily due to higher average balances from C & I loan growth and higher contractual loan yield from loan composition change driven by a decrease in lower-yielding PPP balances.
  • A decrease of 14 basis points in net interest margin was primarily due to a 16 basis point decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets driven by higher average balances on lower-yielding cash equivalents.
  • Average loan yield was 5.10%, a decrease of three basis points from 5.13%, reflecting lower loan fees from PPP loan forgiveness.
  • Average cost of deposits was 0.19%, a decrease of two basis points from 0.21%.

Fourth Quarter 2021 vs. Fourth Quarter 2020

Net interest income increased $4.9 million, or 40%, primarily due to higher average loan balance and SBA discount accretion largely resulting from the Hana loan purchase, as well as higher loan fees from PPP loan forgiveness. Net interest margin was 4.07%, an increase of 34 basis points from 3.73%.

  • An increase of $4.3 million in interest income from loans was primarily due to average loan growth. SBA discount accretions from the Hana loan purchase and loan fees from PPP loan forgiveness have also contributed to the increase.
  • The improvement of 34 basis points in net interest margin was primarily driven by a 33 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
  • Average loan yield was 5.10%, an increase of 45 basis points from 4.65%, reflecting higher SBA discount accretions from the Hana loan purchase, and higher loan fees from PPP loan forgiveness.
  • Average cost of deposits was 0.19%, a decrease of 21 basis points from 0.40%. The decrease in the cost of deposits primarily reflects the impact of lower interest rates and an increase of noninterest bearing deposits in deposit mix.

     

Provision for loan losses

Fourth Quarter 2021 vs. Third Quarter 2021

The Company recorded $1.9 million provision for loan losses, compared with a negative $884 thousand provision for loan losses. The $1.9 million provision for loan losses was primarily due to loan growth from new warehouse lines of credit and home mortgage purchases.

Fourth Quarter 2021 vs. Fourth Quarter 2020

The Company recorded $1.9 million provision for loan losses, compared with $1.8 million provision for loan losses.

Fourth Quarter 2021 vs. Third Quarter 2021

Deposit balances were $1.53 billion at December 31, 2021, up $37.7 million from September 30, 2021, primarily driven by growth in noninterest-bearing and money market deposits, partially offset by time deposits.

The growth in noninterest-bearing deposits was primarily due to addition of new customers from a new Specialty Deposit Center, which was added during fourth quarter 2021.

See the Reconciliation of GAAP to NON-GAAP Financial Measures.

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 1.36%. We expect economic metrics to remain relatively strong over the next year, which bodes well for growth.; however, we remain vigilant given potential impacts on our customers from supply chain and labor constraints as well as COVID variants.

  • Allowance for loan losses increased $771 thousand to $16.1 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 1.36% as of December 31, 2021.
  • Criticized loans decreased by $3.8 million or 49% from a year ago, and the criticized loans to gross loans ratio improved by 40 basis points, primarily due to a $3.8 million payoff in one C&I relationship. Criticized loans are generally consistent with the Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss categories defined by regulatory authorities.
  • Nonperforming assets increased $2.2 million to $3.2 million, or 0.19% of total assets from a year ago. The increase in nonperforming assets was primarily due to SBA loans that were placed on nonaccrual in 2021. As of December 31, 2021, $1.0 million of nonaccrual loans was the guaranteed portion of SBA loans that are in liquidation. The Company did not have OREO as of December 31, 2021 or 2020.
  • Net charge-offs were $168 thousand or 0.05% of average loans. In comparison, there were no net charge-offs recorded in the fourth quarter 2020.

The Company continues 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.

Since the PPP’s inception through December 31, 2021, we have funded $154.5 million, and $118.7 million of principal forgiveness has been provided on qualifying PPP loans. There were no new PPP loans during the fourth quarter of 2021.

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 December 31, 2021 and September 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.
