“What began as a quarter with good momentum, coming off a strong year-end 2019, has been disrupted by a global health crisis that has set off an economic crisis which is now our highest priority. Central Valley Community Bank immediately put its pandemic plan into action in late February to adjust to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our communities and our clients,” stated James M. Ford, President & CEO of Central Valley Community Bank and Central Valley Community Bancorp. Ford went on to state, “We are here for our clients assisting them with loan payment deferrals and maintaining service inside Banking Centers and through Drive-up locations, digital and electronic channels, all the while adhering to the ever-evolving State and Federal guidelines. Central Valley Community Bank is participating in the Paycheck Protection Program launched by the Treasury and the Small Business Administration. We are also serving clients and our communities through refocusing our charitable giving and assistance in these unprecedented times.”

The COVID-19 pandemic has already impacted the local economy in the San Joaquin Valley and greater Sacramento area. Federal, State and local shelter-in-place recommendations were enacted in our markets in March 2020 causing many businesses to close and workers to be furloughed or lose jobs. Essential purpose entities such as medical professionals, food and agricultural businesses, and transportation and logistical businesses were exempted from the closures; however, unemployment rates are increasing in our local market area. As of February 29, 2020, the unemployment rates in Fresno and Sacramento Counties were 8.5% and 3.8%, respectively. According to a study performed by the Center for Business & Policy Research at the University of the Pacific, unemployment rates in the Company’s markets are projected to climb to 18% to 21% in May 2020, and to 19% for the state of California.

The Company’s management team has evaluated its exposure to increased loan losses related to the COVID-19 pandemic and has identified the following industry segments most impacted by the pandemic as of March 31, 2020:

Industry Segments (Dollars in thousands)	Outstanding Loan Balance		Percent of Total Loan Portfolio
Hospitality	$	74,675	8.04	%
Restaurants	16,203		1.75	%

Oil/Gas	—		—	%
Shared national credits	—		—	%

Total	$	214,250	23.08	%

The Company is closely monitoring the effects of the pandemic on our loan and deposit customers. Our management team is focused on assessing the risks in our loan portfolio and working with our customers to minimize our losses. We have implemented loan programs to allow customers who were required to close or reduce their business operations to defer loan principal and interest payments for up to 90 days. As of March 31, 2020, loan customer requests to defer payments on loans totaling approximately $115 million were granted. As a preferred SBA lender, we are participating in the SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) to help provide loans to our business customers to provide them with additional working capital. To date, the Company has received client applications of approximately $150 million, and is working diligently with the SBA to qualify clients to receive PPP loans. If the PPP applications in process are approved and funded, the SBA fees payable to the Company would be approximately $4.7 million. The Company has also taken measures to protect the health and safety of its employees by implementing remote work arrangements to the full extent possible, and by adjusting banking center hours and operational measures to promote social distancing. Management is closely monitoring credit metrics and performing stress testing on the Bank’s loan portfolio. Additional resources have been shifted to credit administration to closely analyze higher risk segments within the loan portfolio, monitor and track loan payment deferrals and customer liquidity, and provide timely reporting to management and the board of directors. The management team continues to analyze economic conditions in our geographic markets and perform stress testing of our investment portfolio as well as our loan portfolio. Based on the Company’s capital levels, conservative underwriting policies, low loan-to-deposit ratio, loan concentration diversification, and suburban geographical marketplace, management expects to be able to manage the economic risks and uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and remain adequately capitalized.

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 increased 26.97%, driven by an increase in net interest income, and an increase in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities, partially offset by an increase in non-interest expense, an increase in the provision for credit losses, and an increase in the provision for income taxes, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded a $1,375,000 provision for credit losses, compared to a $25,000 reverse provision during the three months ended March 31, 2019. Net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $16,029,000, compared to $15,835,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $194,000 or 1.23%. The impact to interest income from the accretion of the loan marks on acquired loans was $693,000 and $259,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In addition, net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was benefited by approximately $238,000 in nonrecurring income from prepayment penalties and payoff of loans previously on nonaccrual status, as compared to $127,000 in nonrecurring income for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Excluding these reversals and benefits, net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased by $351,000 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company’s shareholders’ equity decreased $9,455,000, or 4.14%, compared to December 31, 2019. The decrease in shareholders’ equity was driven by the decrease in common stock as a result of the share repurchase program and the decrease in net unrealized gains on available-for-sale (AFS) securities recorded, net of estimated taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), offset by the retention of earnings, net of dividends paid.

Return on average equity (ROE) for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was 11.62%, compared to 9.42% for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in ROE reflects increase in net income, notwithstanding a slight increase in average shareholders’ equity. The Company declared and paid $0.11 and $0.10 per share in cash dividends to holders of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Annualized return on average assets (ROA) was 1.66% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 1.35% for the three months ended March 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company’s total assets increased 1.37%, and total liabilities increased 2.29%, compared to December 31, 2019.

Non-performing assets decreased by $578,000, or 34.14%, to $1,115,000 at March 31, 2020, compared to $1,693,000 at December 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded $41,000 in net loan recoveries, compared to $39,000 in net recoveries for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The net charge-off (recovery) ratio, which reflects annualized net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans, was (0.02)% for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to (0.02)% for the same period in 2019. Total non-performing assets were 0.07% and 0.11% of total assets as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

At March 31, 2020, the allowance for credit losses was $10,546,000, compared to $9,130,000 at December 31, 2019, a net increase of $1,416,000 reflecting the net recoveries and provision during the period. The Company’s provision for credit losses of $1,375,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 is primarily related to the growth in the loan portfolio along with an increase in qualitative factors related to the economic uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company is not required to implement the provisions of the CECL accounting standard until January 1, 2023, and is continuing to account for the allowance for credit losses under the incurred loss model. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.13% and 0.97% as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Total loans include loans acquired in the acquisitions of Folsom Lake Bank on October 1, 2017, Sierra Vista Bank on October 1, 2016 and Visalia Community Bank on July 1, 2013 that, at their respective acquisition dates, were recorded at fair value and did not have a related allowance for credit losses. The recorded value of acquired loans totaled $146,360,000 at March 31, 2020 and $152,735,000 at December 31, 2019. Excluding these acquired loans from the calculation, the allowance for credit losses to total gross loans was 1.35% and 1.15% as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and general reserves associated with non-impaired loans to total non-impaired loans was 1.35% and 1.16%, respectively. The Company believes the allowance for credit losses is adequate to provide for probable incurred credit losses within the loan portfolio at March 31, 2020.

The Company’s net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) was 4.47% for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to 4.63% for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in net interest margin in the period-to-period comparison resulted from the decrease in the effective yield on interest earning deposits in other banks and Federal Funds sold, the decrease in the effective yield on average investment securities, and the decrease in the yield on the Company’s loan portfolio.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the effective yield on average total earning assets decreased 15 basis points to 4.61% compared to 4.76% for the three months ended March 31, 2019, while the cost of average total interest-bearing liabilities increased to 0.26% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to 0.24% for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Over the same periods, the cost of average total deposits increased to 0.13% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to 0.12% for the same period in 2019.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company’s average investment securities, including interest-earning deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold, totaled $521,667,000, an increase of $25,862,000, or 5.22%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019. The effective yield on average investment securities, including interest-earning deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold, decreased to 2.80% for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to 3.13% for the three months ended March 31, 2019. In the normal course of managing the investment portfolio, management sold certain investment securities primarily in the private label commercial mortgage backed security sector during January 2020 and purchased securities in the municipal investment sector to take advantage of the price and yield attributes related to these sectors at the time, and recorded a net gain on sale of investments of $4,198,000.

Total average loans (including nonaccrual), which generally yield higher rates than investment securities, increased $18,500,000 to $924,611,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $906,111,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 . The effective yield on average loans decreased to 5.62% for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to 5.64% for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Total average assets for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $1,598,064,000 compared to $1,540,721,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $57,343,000 or 3.72%. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the loan-to-deposit ratio was 68.84% and 71.32%, respectively. Total average deposits increased $44,391,000 or 3.44% to $1,334,403,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $1,290,012,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Average interest-bearing deposits decreased $2,652,000, or 0.36%, and average non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $47,043,000, or 8.66%, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company’s ratio of average non-interest bearing deposits to total deposits was 44.23% for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to 42.10% for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 increased by $3,565,000 to $6,541,000, compared to $2,976,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily driven by an increase of $3,146,000 in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities, an increase in loan placement fees of $160,000, and an increase of $316,000 in other income, partially offset by a decrease in service charge income of $44,000, and a decrease in FHLB dividends of $14,000. The increase in other income resulted from a $297,000 gain related to the collection of life insurance proceeds.

Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 increased $411,000, or 3.52%, to $12,078,000 compared to $11,667,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The net increase year over year resulted from increases in salaries and employee benefits of $1,022,000, professional services of $131,000, operating losses of $34,000, and directors’ expenses of $16,000, offset by decreases in occupancy and equipment expenses of $335,000, information technology of $169,000, credit card expenses of $114,000, regulatory assessments of $105,000, and data processing of $59,000, in 2020 compared to 2019. The increase in salaries and employee benefits as well as the directors’ expenses was primarily related to the change in the discount rate used to calculate the liability for salary continuation, deferred compensation, and split dollar plans which amounted to approximately $646,000, while salaries and benefits increased $382,000. The decrease in regulatory assessments was the result of the Company receiving a portion of its small-bank assessment credit. The FDIC automatically applies small-bank assessment credits to offset regular deposit insurance assessments for assessment periods where the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) reserve ratio is at or above 1.38 percent.

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $2,494,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $1,953,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was 27.36% compared to 27.24% for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in the effective rate was a result of a decrease in tax-exempt interest.

Capital Management

On January 15, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the adoption of a program to repurchase up to $10 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company repurchased and retired a total of 621,379 shares of common stock at an average price paid per share of $17.76, completing the stock repurchase plan approved in January 2020. Due to the uncertainty related to the potential economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the board has decided, for the time being, to suspend future stock repurchase programs, while maintaining the Company’s regular quarterly dividend program. On April 15, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share on the Company’s common stock. The dividend is payable on May 15, 2020 to shareholders of record as of May 1, 2020. The Company continues to be well capitalized and expects to maintain adequate capital levels.
