LA JOLLA, Calif., Oct. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Private Bancorp of America, Inc. (OTCQX:PBAM), (“Company”) and CalPrivate Bank (“Bank”) announced unaudited financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023. The Company reported net income of $8.5 million, or $1.47 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2023, which represents a 33.7% increase from $6.4 million, or $1.12 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2022.

Rick Sowers, President and CEO of the Company and the Bank stated, “We are very pleased with the results of the third quarter and our continued growth of the balance sheet coupled with strong earnings and net interest margin. Loan demand remains soft but both our Commercial & Private Banking as well as our SBA Lending Teams remain active in the market. Competition for deposits is intense so we are focused on providing exceptional Client service and taking advantage of market disruptions to obtain new Clients who can benefit from our Distinctly Different Service model.”

Sowers added, “We look at this market as an opportunity for CalPrivate Bank as we hire exceptional bankers and make investments in product strategy and innovation to serve the needs of our Clients not only now, but into the future. Credit trends remain solid but we have increased our portfolio management activities to reflect the current economic and interest rate environment.”

“The Company continues to exhibit successful customer acquisition activity despite a challenging interest rate environment. Additionally, the Company continues to invest in people and infrastructure, including strong risk management, needed to support the continued growth of the CalPrivate franchise,” said Selwyn Isakow, Chairman of the Board of the Company and the Bank.

STATEMENT OF INCOME

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2023 totaled $23.3 million, an increase of $0.5 million or 2.4% from the prior quarter and an increase of $2.7 million or 12.9% from the third quarter of 2022. The increase from the prior quarter was driven primarily by an increase of $2.1 million in interest income, which resulted from a 2.6% increase in average earning assets and 20 basis point increase in yield on earning assets. Partially offsetting this was an increase of $1.6 million in interest expense, which resulted primarily from a 34 basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2023 was 4.67% compared to 4.73% for the prior quarter and 4.99% in the third quarter of 2022. The 6 basis point decrease in net interest margin from the prior quarter was due primarily to higher rates paid on funding sources, partially offset by higher rates on new loan originations and variable rate loans and investment securities. The yield on earning assets was 6.60% for the third quarter of 2023 compared with 6.40% for the prior quarter and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 3.24% for the third quarter of 2023 compared to 2.90% in the prior quarter. The cost of total deposits was 1.92% for the third quarter of 2023 compared to 1.59% in the prior quarter. The cost of core deposits, which excludes brokered deposits, was 1.49% in the third quarter of 2023 compared to 1.24% in the prior quarter.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2023 was $0.5 million, compared to a net reversal of $7.1 million in the prior quarter and a provision of $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2022. The provision for the third quarter of 2023 primarily relates to a $1.25 million specific reserve for a loan placed on nonaccrual status during the quarter, partially offset by a $520 thousand release of reserve for unfunded commitments that was reclassified from noninterest expense. The net reversal in the second quarter of 2023 reflects recoveries of $8.6 million partially offset by provision expense of $1.5 million for loan growth. For more details, please refer to the “Asset Quality” section below.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2023, an increase from $1.1 million in the prior quarter and compared to $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2022. The change from the prior quarter as well as the third quarter of 2022 was primarily due to varying levels of gain on sale of SBA 7a loans. SBA loan sales for the third quarter of 2023 were $7.2 million with a 9.47% average trade premium resulting in a net gain on sale of $466 thousand, compared with $2.6 million with a 9.70% average trade premium resulting in a net gain on sale of $171 thousand in the prior quarter. Management expects continued softness in the market for SBA 7a loans.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $11.8 million for the third quarter of 2023, an increase from $8.8 million in the prior quarter and $11.7 million in the third quarter of 2022. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to a $1.6 million benefit in professional services (legal expense specifically) in the second quarter resulting from legal fees waived as well as legal costs reimbursed by the participant bank in relation to the settled lawsuit with ANI Development, LLC/Gina Champion-Cain and Chicago Title. Additionally, other expenses increased by $1.1 million primarily due to a $520 thousand reclassification adjustment of the reversal of reserve for unfunded commitments which is now recorded in the provision (reversal) for credit losses line of the income statement as well as higher expenses for regulatory assessments. The efficiency ratio was 48.51% for the third quarter of 2023 compared to 37.04% in the prior quarter and 53.29% in the third quarter of 2022. The increase in the efficiency ratio from the prior quarter was due primarily to the aforementioned expense variances.

The Company remains committed to making investments in the business, including technology, marketing, and staffing. Inflationary pressures and low unemployment continue to have an impact on rising wages as well as increased costs related to third party service providers, which we proactively monitor and manage.

Provision for Income Tax Expense

Provision for income tax expense was $3.6 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $6.6 million for the prior quarter. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2023 was 29.8% compared to 29.7% in the prior quarter and 29.2% in the third quarter of 2022.

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

As of September 30, 2023, total assets were $2.07 billion, an increase of $97.5 million since the prior quarter and $219.3 million since December 31, 2022. The increase in assets from the prior quarter was primarily due to higher cash balances and loans receivable. Total cash and due from banks was $198.3 million as of September 30, 2023, an increase of $62.5 million, or 46.0%, since June 30, 2023, primarily due to the timing of the settlement of $52 million of brokered certificates of deposit obtained at the end of September 2023 and subsequently used to pay off Federal Home Loan Bank Advances in early October 2023. Loans HFI totaled $1.76 billion as of September 30, 2023, an increase of $47.1 million or 2.7% since June 30, 2023. Total deposits were $1.77 billion as of September 30, 2023, an increase of $70.5 million since June 30, 2023. The growth in loans was also funded by wholesale borrowings (Federal Home Loan Bank advances), which increased by $16.0 million since June 30, 2023. During the quarter, core deposits decreased by $12.3 million, which was driven by a $63.0 million decrease in noninterest-bearing core deposits, partially offset by a $50.6 million increase in interest-bearing core deposits (including balances in the Intrafi ICS and CDARS programs). Noninterest-bearing deposits represent 39.1% of total core deposits. Uninsured deposits, net of collateralized and fiduciary deposit accounts, represent 47.7% of total deposits as of September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the net unrealized loss on the available-for-sale (“AFS”) investment securities portfolio, which is comprised mostly of US Treasury and Government Agency debt, was $15.8 million (pre-tax) compared to a loss of $14.1 million as of June 30, 2023. The average duration of the Bank’s AFS portfolio is 3.9 years. The Company has no held-to-maturity securities.

Asset Quality

As of September 30, 2023, the allowance for loan losses was $23.8 million or 1.35% of loans HFI, compared to 1.32% as of June 30, 2023 and 1.21% at December 31, 2022. The increase in the coverage ratio from December 31, 2022 primarily resulted from the adoption of CECL. The Company continues to have strong credit metrics and its nonperforming assets are 0.25% of total assets as of September 30, 2023. The reserve for unfunded commitments was $2.0 million as of September 30, 2023, compared to $2.2 million as of June 30, 2023 and the change was due to a decrease in commitment balances available. Given the credit quality of the loan portfolio, management believes we are sufficiently reserved.

As of September 30, 2023, there are no doubtful credits and classified assets were $11.0 million, down from $11.9 million as of June 30, 2023. Total classified assets as of September 30, 2023, consisted of 9 loans, of which 6 loans totaling $7.2 million were secured by real estate with a weighted average LTV of 58.5%. The remaining 3 loans were commercial and industrial loans, two of which were SBA loans with a balance of $1.4 million, which includes one loan that is 75% guaranteed and one loan that is 90% guaranteed by the SBA, and the third was a $2.5 million unsecured loan with a specific reserve of $1.3 million.

Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should be taken together with the corresponding GAAP measures and should not be considered a substitute of the GAAP measures.
