    Summary Results

    Three months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to three months ended September 30, 2022

    The increase in the Company's net income from the three months ended September 30, 2022 to the three months ended December 31, 2022 was primarily due to a $1.6 million increase in net interest income driven by an increase in average loan balances and higher yields earned on interest-earning assets during the period, along with $0.2 million of growth in other income. The increase in average assets was largely the result of an increase in average loans held for investment and sale funded by increases in average interest-bearing deposits, subordinated debt and other borrowings, combined with an increase in average equity related to earnings during the period.

    Three months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to three months ended December 31, 2021

    The increase in the Company's net income from the three months ended December 31, 2021 to the three months ended December 31, 2022 was primarily due to an increase in net interest income of $7.8 million, driven by loan growth. This increase was partially offset by an increase in the provision for income taxes of $4.2 million and an increase in non-interest expense of $1.7 million due to operational growth. The increase in average assets was largely the result of an increase in average loans held for investment and sale funded by increases in average interest-bearing deposits, demand accounts, subordinated debt and other borrowings. The increase in average equity was primarily due to earnings growth, partially offset by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss period-over-period.

    Year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to year ended December 31, 2021

    The increase in the Company's net income from the year ended December 31, 2021 to the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily due to an increase in net interest income of $25.5 million, driven by loan growth. This increase was partially offset by: (i) a $13.4 million increase in the provision for income taxes due to an increase in tax rates caused by the Company's transition from an S Corporation to a C Corporation during 2021; (ii) a $5.0 million increase in the provision for loan losses, largely due to loan growth; and (iii) a $4.6 million increase in non-interest expense due to operational growth. The increase in average assets was largely a result of an increase in average loans held for investment and sale, which was funded by an increase in average interest-bearing deposits, demand accounts, subordinated debt and other borrowings. The increase in average equity was primarily due to earnings growth, partially offset by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss year-over-year.

    The increase in total assets from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022 was primarily due to a $856.9 million increase in total loans held for investment, partially offset by a $165.3 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents and a $34.0 million decrease in investments. The $856.9 million increase in total loans held for investment between December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022 was a result of $1.4 billion in non-PPP loan originations, partially offset by $22.1 million in PPP loan forgiveness and payoffs received, and $491.7 million in non-PPP loan payoffs and paydowns.

    The increase in total liabilities from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022 was primarily attributable to an increase in Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco ("FHLB") advances of $100.0 million, an increase in subordinated notes, net, of $45.2 million, and an increase in deposits of $496.1 million, largely due to increases in time deposits over $250 thousand, money market deposits, and non-interest-bearing deposits of $120.3 million, $161.0 million, and $69.1 million, respectively.

    Total shareholders’ equity increased by $17.8 million from $235.0 million at December 31, 2021 to $252.8 million at December 31, 2022. The increase in total shareholders' equity from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022 was primarily a result of net income recognized of $44.8 million, partially offset by a net decline of $12.9 million in other comprehensive income and $15.3 million in cash distributions paid during the period.

    Factors affecting interest income and yields

    Interest income increased during the three months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, due to the following:

    • Rates. The average yields on interest-earning assets were 4.91% and 4.43% for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively. The increase in yields period-over-period was primarily due to increases in yields earned on interest-earning deposits with banks, and increased yields earned on loans held for investment and sale originated in the current environment of rising interest rates.

    • Volume. Average interest-earning assets increased by approximately $190.2 million period-over-period, driven by new loan originations during the three months ended December 31, 2022 which resulted in increases in the average daily balance of loans and contributed to the increase in interest income.

    Interest income increased during the three months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021, due to the following:

    • Rates. The average yields on interest-earning assets were 4.91% and 3.83% for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The increase in yields period-over-period was primarily due to increases in yields earned on interest-earning deposits with banks and loans held for sale. Yields on the commercial real estate portfolio increased by 0.52% to 4.93% from 4.41% for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, due to increased rates on commercial real estate loans originated in the current rising rate environment.

    • Volume. Average interest-earning assets increased by approximately $714.9 million period-over-period, primarily driven by new loan originations during the three months ended December 31, 2022 which resulted in increases in the average daily balance of loans and contributed to the increase in interest income.

    Factors affecting interest expense and rates

    Interest expense increased during the three months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, due to the following:

    • Rates. The average costs of interest-bearing liabilities were 1.79% and 1.01% for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively. The increase in cost period-over-period was primarily due to increases in the rates paid on interest-bearing deposit accounts, with the most significant increases in rates paid on time and money market accounts. Rates on FHLB advances during the three months ended December 31, 2022 increased as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, but were offset by the rate paid on subordinated debt period-over-period. Additionally, the cost of funds increased from 0.62% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 to 1.16% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022.

    • Volume. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $221.8 million period-over-period, primarily driven by increases in average balances for time accounts and other borrowings, partially offset by the redemption of subordinated notes with an aggregate principal amount of $28.8 million.

    Interest expense increased during the three months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021, due to the following:

    • Rates. The average costs of interest-bearing liabilities were 1.79% and 0.27% for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The increase in cost period-over-period was primarily due to increases in the rates paid on interest-bearing deposit accounts, with the most significant increases in rates paid on time and money market accounts. The rate paid on subordinated debt remained relatively consistent period-over-period, while FHLB advances had an average rate of 3.93% for the three months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to no FHLB advances for the three months ended December 31, 2021. Additionally, the cost of funds increased from 0.16% for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 to 1.16% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022.

    • Volume. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $524.7 million period-over-period, primarily driven by increases in average balances for all types of interest-bearing deposit accounts, with the most substantial increases in time, money market, and interest-bearing transaction accounts period-over-period. Additionally, the issuance of $75.0 million of subordinated notes on August 17, 2022, combined with utilization of FHLB advances in the three months ended December 31, 2022, but not in the three months ended December 31, 2021, contributed to the increase in average interest-bearing liabilities period-over-period.

    Factors affecting interest income and yields

    Interest income increased during the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, due to the following:

    • Rates. The average yields on interest-earning assets were 4.30% and 3.83% for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The increase in yields period-over-period was primarily due to increases in yields earned on loans held for sale and interest-earning deposits with banks.

    • Volume. Average interest-earning assets increased by approximately $613.9 million period-over-period, driven by new loan originations, which drove increases in the average daily balance of loans for the year ended December 31, 2022 and contributed to the increase in interest income.

    Factors affecting interest expense and rates

    Interest expense increased during the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, due to the following:

    • Rates. The average costs of interest-bearing liabilities were 0.92% and 0.32% for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The increase in cost period-over-period was primarily due to increases in the rates paid on interest-bearing deposit accounts, with the most significant increases in rates paid on time and money market accounts, combined with an increase of 300 basis points on the rates paid on FHLB advances during the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the prior year. The rate paid on the new subordinated debt issuance remained relatively consistent with prior issuances. Additionally, the cost of funds increased from 0.19% for the year ended December 31, 2021 to 0.57% for the year ended December 31, 2022.

    • Volume. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $362.6 million period-over-period, primarily driven by increases in average balances for all types of interest-bearing deposit accounts, with the most substantial increases in time, interest-bearing transaction, and money market accounts period-over-period. Additionally, the issuance of $75.0 million of subordinated notes due September 1, 2032 on August 17, 2022 contributed to the increase in average interest-bearing liabilities period-over-period.

    Asset Quality

    SBA PPP

    All PPP loans had been forgiven or paid off by the borrower as of December 31, 2022.

    Allowance for Loan Losses

    At December 31, 2022, the Company’s allowance for loan losses was $28.4 million, as compared to $23.2 million at December 31, 2021. The $5.2 million increase is due to a $6.7 million provision for loan losses recorded during the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, offset by net charge-offs of $1.6 million during the same period. At December 31, 2022, the Company’s ratio of nonperforming loans to loans held for investment decreased from 0.03% at December 31, 2021 to 0.01%, primarily due to a decrease in the Company’s nonperforming commercial secured loans. Loans designated as substandard decreased to $0.4 million at December 31, 2022, from $10.6 million at December 31, 2021. This resulted in a net reduction of $0.2 million in reserves related to classified loans, offset by an increase in the provision for loan losses related to loan growth that occurred during 2022. There were no loans with doubtful risk grades at December 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

    A summary of the allowance for loan losses by loan class is as follows:

      December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021
    (dollars in thousands) Amount % of Total Amount % of Total
    Real estate:        
    Commercial $19,216  67.69% $12,869  55.37%
    Commercial land and development  54  0.19%  50  0.22%
    Commercial construction  645  2.27%  371  1.60%
    Residential construction  49  0.17%  50  0.22%
    Residential  175  0.62%  192  0.83%
    Farmland  644  2.27%  645  2.78%
    Commercial:        
    Secured  6,975  24.57%  6,687  28.77%
    Unsecured  116  0.41%  207  0.89%
    Consumer and other  347  1.22%  889  3.82%
    Unallocated  45  0.16%  1,111  4.78%
       28,266  99.57%  23,071  99.28%
    Individually evaluated for impairment:        
    Commercial secured  123  0.43%  172  0.72%
             
    Total allowance for loan losses $28,389  100.00% $23,243  100.00%
                   

    The ratio of allowance for loan losses to loans held for investment, or total loans at period end, was 1.02% at December 31, 2022, as compared to 1.20% at December 31, 2021. Excluding PPP loans, the ratios of the allowance for loan losses to loans held for investment were 1.02% and 1.22% at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The decline in the ratio of allowance for loan losses to loans held for investment period-over-period is primarily due to a decline in classified loans and improvement in the historical loss factors for the SBA portfolio during 2022. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans held for investment, excluding PPP loans, is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. See the section entitled “Non-GAAP Reconciliation (Unaudited)” for a reconciliation of our non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

    Beginning January 1, 2023, the Company will adopt Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the current “incurred loss” model for recognizing credit losses with an “expected loss” model referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) model. Utilizing CECL may have an impact on our allowance for loan losses going forward and may result in a lack of comparability between 2022 and 2023 quarterly periods.

    Total non-interest income $1,601  $1,433  $168  11.72%
                    

    Gain on sale of loans. The increase in gain on sale of loans resulted primarily from an increase in the volume of loans sold. During the three months ended December 31, 2022, loans totaling $14.5 million were sold with an effective yield of 4.40% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, when loans totaling $10.5 million were sold with an effective yield of 5.20%.

    Other income. The increase in other income resulted primarily from a $0.1 million gain recorded on a distribution received on an investment in a venture-backed fund, which did not occur during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

    Three months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021

    The following table presents the key components of non-interest income for the periods indicated:

    Total non-interest income $1,601  $1,790  $(189) (10.56)%
                   

    Gain on sale of loans. The decrease in gain on sale of loans related primarily to an overall decline in the effective yields on loans sold due to uncertainty surrounding the timing of rising interest rates during the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021. During the three months ended December 31, 2022, approximately $14.5 million of loans were sold with an effective yield of 4.40%, as compared to approximately $9.7 million of loans sold with an effective yield of 9.38% during the three months ended December 31, 2021. Additionally, a $1.8 million consumer loan portfolio was sold for a net gain of approximately $0.2 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021, which did not occur during the three months ended December 31, 2022.

    Other income. The increase in other income resulted primarily from a $0.1 million gain recorded on a distribution received on an investment in a venture-backed fund in the three months ended December 31, 2022, which did not occur during the three months ended December 31, 2021.

    Year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021

    Total non-interest income $7,157  $7,280  $(123) (1.69)%
                   

    Net gain on sale of securities. The decrease in net gain on sale of securities resulted primarily from the sale of approximately $47.1 million of municipal securities, U.S. government agency securities, and U.S. Treasuries during the year ended December 31, 2021, resulting in a $0.7 million gain, compared to the sale of approximately $1.5 million of municipal securities, resulting in a gain of $5.0 thousand during the year ended December 31, 2022.

    Gain on sale of loans. The decrease in gain on sale of loans related primarily to an overall decline in the effective yields on loans sold due to uncertainty of the timing and magnitude of rising interest rates during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2022, approximately $50.8 million of loans were sold with an effective yield of 5.78%, as compared to approximately $41.4 million of loans sold with an effective yield of 9.46% during the year ended December 31, 2021. Additionally, a $1.8 million consumer loan portfolio was sold for a net gain of approximately $0.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2021, which did not occur during the year ended December 31, 2022.

    Loan-related fees. The increase in loan-related fees was primarily a result of: (i) an increase of $0.6 million in swap referral fees; (ii) an increase of $0.2 million in program fees earned for loans originated and serviced by a third party; and (iii) a $0.2 million increase in fee income recognized in the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. These increases were partially offset by a decline of $0.1 million in loan referral income recognized during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021.

    FHLB stock dividends. The increase in FHLB stock dividends primarily relates to an increase in FHLB Class B shares held for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021.

    Earnings on BOLI. The increase in earnings on BOLI related primarily due to an additional BOLI policy purchased during the year ended December 31, 2022. Earnings on this policy were only recognized during the year ended December 31, 2022, and did not occur during the year ended December 31, 2021.

    Other income. The increase in other income resulted primarily from a $0.4 million gain recorded on two distributions received on investments in two venture-backed funds during the year ended December 31, 2022, which did not occur during the year ended December 31, 2021.

    Total non-interest expense $10,717  $10,172  $545  5.36%
                    

    Professional services. Professional services decreased, primarily as a result of $0.2 million of legal expenses incurred to support corporate organizational matters during the three months ended September 30, 2022, which did not recur in the three months ended December 31, 2022.

    Other operating expenses. The increase in other operating expenses was primarily due to a $0.3 million increase related to previously unamortized subordinated debt issuance costs recognized within other operating expenses upon redemption of the subordinated notes in December 2022. The remainder of the increase related to expenses incurred for travel and fees paid for attendance of professional events, conferences, and other business-related events during the three months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022.

    Three months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021

    Total non-interest expense $10,717  $9,018  $1,699  18.84%
                    

    Salaries and employee benefits. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was primarily a result of: (i) a $0.3 million increase in salaries, insurance, and benefits as a result of a 9.20% increase in headcount; (ii) a $0.6 million decrease in loan origination costs due to lower production; and (iii) a $0.1 million increase in bonus expense recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021. These increases were partially offset by a $0.6 million decline in commissions expense due to lower production during the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021.

    Data processing and software. Data processing and software increased, primarily due to: (i) increased usage of our digital banking platform; (ii) higher transaction volumes related to the increased number of loan and deposit accounts; and (iii) increased number of licenses required for new users on our loan origination and documentation system.

    Professional services. Professional services increased, primarily due to increased audit and legal fees for services provided for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021.

    Loan-related expenses. Loan-related expenses increased, primarily as a result of an overall increase in expenses incurred for insurance and taxes, loan legal fees, environmental reports, UCC fees, and inspections to support loan production in the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021.

    Other operating expenses. The increase in other operating expenses was primarily due to a $0.3 million increase related to previously unamortized subordinated debt issuance costs recognized as an other expense upon redemption of the subordinated notes in December 2022. The remainder of the increase related to: (i) $0.1 million of increased bank charges incurred related to correspondent bank and letter of credit fees incurred to support operations; (ii) $0.1 million of increased insurance expenses; and (iii) an overall increase in expenses incurred for travel and fees paid for attendance of professional events, conferences, and other business-related events during the three months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021.

    Year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021

    The following table presents the key components of non-interest expense for the periods indicated:

      Year ended    
    (dollars in thousands) December 31,
    2022    		 December 31,
    2021    		 $ Change % Change

    Total non-interest expense $40,669  $36,043  $4,626  12.83%
                    

    Salaries and employee benefits. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was primarily a result of a $3.6 million increase in salaries, insurance, and benefits as a result of a 9.20% increase in headcount and a $0.2 million increase in commissions expense related to increased production during the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was partially offset by an increase in loan origination costs of $1.0 million due to increased production during the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021.

    Occupancy and equipment. The increase in occupancy and equipment was primarily the result of an overall increase in depreciation recognized for furniture, fixtures, and equipment that was purchased to support the 9.20% increase in headcount described above, combined with an overall increase in occupancy expenses period-over-period.

    Data processing and software. The increase in data processing and software expenditures related primarily to: (i) increased usage of our digital banking platform; (ii) higher transaction volumes related to the increased number of loan and deposit accounts; and (iii) increased number of licenses required for new users on our loan origination and documentation system.

    FDIC insurance. The increase in FDIC insurance related primarily to an increase in the FDIC assessment base and asset growth for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021.

    Professional services. Professional services decreased, primarily as a result of expenses recognized during the year ended December 31, 2021 related to the increased audit, consulting, and legal costs incurred to support corporate organizational matters leading up to the Company's initial public offering in May 2021, which did not recur during the year ended December 31, 2022.

    Advertising and promotional. The increase in advertising and promotional costs was primarily related to increases in business development, marketing, and sponsorship expenses due to more in-person participation in events held during the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021.

    Loan-related expenses. The increase in loan-related expenses related primarily to: (i) $0.1 million of increased UCC filing fees to support consumer loans originated; and (ii) an overall increase in expenses incurred for insurance and taxes, loan legal fees, environmental reports, and inspections to support loan production for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021.

    Other operating expenses. The increase in other operating expenses includes a $0.3 million increase related to previously unamortized subordinated debt issuance costs recognized as an other expense upon redemption of the subordinated notes in December 2022. The remainder of the increase related to: (i) $0.7 million for expenses incurred for travel and fees paid for attendance of professional events, conferences, and other business-related events; (ii) $0.3 million of increased bank charges incurred related to correspondent bank and letter of credit fees incurred to support operations; and (iii) $0.2 million of increased insurance expenses during the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The remainder of the change related to an overall increase in expenses to support the growth in customers period-over-period.

    Provision for Income Taxes

    Three months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022

    Provision for income taxes for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 increased by $0.7 million, or 13.60%, to $5.5 million, as compared to $4.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, which was primarily due to the increase in taxable income recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2022.

    Three months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021

    Provision for income taxes increased by $4.2 million, or 315.37%, to $5.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. This increase is due to an increase in taxable income, combined with an increase in the effective tax rate for each period, from 10.46% to 29.23% during the three months ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The lower effective tax rate during the three months ended December 31, 2021 was driven by the Company's termination of its Subchapter S Corporation status as of May 5, 2021 and using a blended statutory rate of 20.77% during the three months ended December 31, 2021. The 20.77% tax rate was calculated using the statutory California tax rate of 3.50% and the federal and state statutory rate, net of federal benefit, of 29.56% based on the number of days the Company was each type of corporation during 2021.

    Year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to year ended December 31, 2021

    Provision for income taxes increased by $13.4 million, or 283.62%, to $18.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to $4.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. This increase is due to an increase in taxable income, combined with an increase in the effective tax rate for each period, from 9.98% to 28.73% during the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The lower tax rate used during the year ended December 31, 2021 was the result of the Company's termination of its Subchapter S Corporation status as of May 5, 2021.

    Non-GAAP Reconciliation (Unaudited)

    The Company uses financial information in its analysis of the Company’s performance that is not in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP. However, the Company acknowledges that its non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations. As such, investors should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these non-GAAP measures are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other banking companies use. Other banking companies may use names similar to those the Company uses for the non-GAAP financial measures the Company discloses, but may calculate them differently. Investors should understand how the Company and other companies each calculate their non-GAAP financial measures when making comparisons.

    Tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets is defined as total equity less goodwill and other intangible assets, divided by total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is total shareholders’ equity to total assets. We had no goodwill or other intangible assets at the end of any period indicated. As a result, tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets is the same as total shareholders’ equity to total assets at the end of each of the periods indicated.

    Tangible book value per share is defined as total shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets, divided by the outstanding number of common shares at the end of the period. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is book value per share. We had no goodwill or other intangible assets at the end of any period indicated. As a result, tangible book value per share is the same as book value per share at the end of each of the periods indicated.

    Pre-tax, pre-provision net income is defined as net income plus provision for income taxes and provision for loan losses. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is pre-tax net income.

    Allowance for loan losses to total loans held for investment, excluding PPP loans, is defined as allowance for loan losses, divided by total loans held for investment less PPP loans. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is allowance for loan losses to total loans held for investment. 

    The following reconciliation tables provide a more detailed analysis of these non-GAAP financial measures.
