Adjusted allowance for loan losses to loans held-for-investment ratio is a non-GAAP measure, which excludes U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans from loans held-for-investment. See “Non-GAAP Measures” for reconciliation of this measure to its most comparable GAAP measure.

Henry Kim, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased to announce another tremendous quarter with net income of $10.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and record net income of $40.1 million for the year. Excluding SBA PPP loans, our loans held-for-investment increased $60.9 million, or 15.2% annualized, to $1.67 billion at December 31, 2021 compared with $1.61 billion at September 30, 2021. In addition to such record performances, we managed to improve our outstanding credit quality by reducing the non-performing loans to loans held-for-investment ratio to 0.06% and classified assets to total assets ratio to 0.24%.

“We continue to maintain an exceptional deposit mix consisting of over 44% in noninterest-bearing demand deposits and over 20% in retail money market accounts. In addition to our terrific organic loan growth and deposit mix, we managed to hold our net interest margin and efficiency ratio at 3.87% and 44.8% for the fourth quarter of 2021 and 3.83% and 45.2% for the year, respectively.”

Mr. Kim continued, “As we look ahead, we believe we are on a strong position to deliver another year of solid financial performance, and to carry out our organic growth and strategic expansions. We will remain disciplined in our approach to increase the franchise value and to benefit our shareholders’ return.”

COVID-19 Pandemic

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and governmental and societal responses thereto, have had a severe impact on global economic and market conditions. The U.S. government has enacted a number of monetary and fiscal policies to provide fiscal stimulus and relief in order to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be a challenge to public health, including the emergence of new variants, and impact global economic and market conditions, including global supply chain disruptions and high inflation.

Since the beginning of the crisis, the Company has taken a number of steps to protect the safety of its employees and to support its customers. The Company has enabled its staff to work remotely and established safety measures within its bank premises and branches for both employees and customers. In order to support its customers, the Company has been in close contact with them, assessing the level of impact on their businesses, and putting a process in place to evaluate each client’s specific situation and provide relief programs where appropriate, including SBA PPP loans and loan modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition, the Company has been monitoring its liquidity and capital closely. As of December 31, 2021, the Company maintained $203.3 million, or 9.5% of total assets, of cash and cash equivalents and $610.4 million, or 28.4% of total assets, of available borrowing capacity. All regulatory capital ratios were also well above the regulatory well-capitalized requirements as of December 31, 2021.

At this time, the Company cannot estimate the long term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but these conditions are expected to continue to impact its business, results of operations, and financial condition negatively.

Network and Data Incident

On August 30, 2021, the Bank identified unusual activity on its network. The Bank responded promptly to disable the activity, investigate its source and monitor the Bank’s network. The Bank subsequently became aware of claims that it had been the target of a ransomware attack. On September 7, 2021, the Bank determined that an external actor had illegally accessed and/or acquired certain data on its network. The Bank has been working with third-party forensic investigators to understand the nature and scope of the incident and determine what information may have been accessed and/or acquired and who may have been impacted. The investigation revealed that this incident impacted certain files containing certain Bank customer information. Some of these files contained documents related to loan applications, such as tax returns, Form W-2 information of their employees, and payroll records. The Bank has notified all individuals identified as impacted, consistent with applicable laws. All impacted individuals were offered free Equifax Complete Premier credit monitoring and identify theft protection services. The Bank has notified law enforcement and appropriate authorities of the incident.

On December 16, 2021, a complaint based on the incident was filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court seeking damages, injunctive relief, and equitable relief. The Bank expresses no opinion on the merits of the Matter and intends to answer, respond, and/or otherwise vigorously defend itself from the claims and causes of action asserted in the complaint to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Those defenses will be based in part on the fact that the Bank has implemented security procedures, practices, and a robust information security program pursuant to guidance from financial regulators.

Total funding is the sum of interest-bearing liabilities and noninterest-bearing deposits. The cost of total funding is calculated as annualized total interest expense divided by average total funding.

Loans. The decrease in average yield for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to a decrease in net deferred loan fee amortization from a lower volume of SBA PPP loans forgiven and a decrease in net accretion of discount on loans attributed to a decrease in loan payoffs. The decreases in average yield for the current quarter and year compared with the same periods of 2020 were primarily due to a decrease in overall interest rates on loans from lower market rates, partially offset by increases in net accretion of discount on loans and net amortization of deferred loan fees.

Investment Securities. The increase in average yield for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to a decrease in net amortization of premiums on mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. The decreases in average yield for the current quarter and year compared with the same periods of 2020 were primarily due to new investment securities purchased at lower market rates.

Other Interest-Earning Assets. The increase in average yield for the current quarter compared with the previous and year-ago quarters was primarily due to an increase in dividend income on Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock. The decrease in average yield for the current year compared with the previous year was primarily due to lower market rates, partially offset by an increase in dividend income on FHLB stock. The decreases in average balance for the current quarter and year were primarily due to an increase in loans and a purchase of BOLI, partially offset by an increase in deposits. The Company maintains most of its cash at the Federal Reserve Bank account. For additional detail, please see the discussion in “Loans” and “Deposits” under the “Balance Sheet” discussion.

Interest-Bearing Deposits. The decreases in average cost for the current quarter and year were primarily due to the decreases in market rates.

Borrowings. The increases in average cost for the current quarter and year compared with the same periods of 2020 were primarily due to matured borrowings with lower interest rates during the current year. Matured FHLB advances totaled $70.0 million with a weighted-average rate of 0.47% for the current year. At December 31, 2021, the Company had a term FHLB advance of $10.0 million with an interest rate of 2.07% that matures on June 29, 2022.

Provision (reversal) for Loan Losses

Provision (reversal) for loan losses was $(1.5) million for the current quarter compared with $(1.1) million for the previous quarter and $2.1 million for the year-ago quarter. For the current and previous years, provision (reversal) for loan losses was $(4.6) million and $13.2 million, respectively. The reversal for the current quarter was primarily due to a decrease in qualitative adjustment factor allocations related to economic implications of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company recorded net charge-offs (recoveries) of $(36) thousand for the current quarter compared with $30 thousand for the previous quarter and $178 thousand for the year-ago quarter. For the current and previous years, net charge-offs (recoveries) were $(467) thousand and $1.1 million, respectively.

Adjusted allowance for loan losses to loans held-for-investment ratio (1) was 1.34%, 1.48%, and 1.83% at December 31, 2021, September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1)

Adjusted allowance for loan losses to loans held-for-investment ratio is a non-GAAP measure, which excludes SBA PPP loans from loans held-for-investment. See “Non-GAAP Measures” for reconciliation of this measure to its most comparable GAAP measure.

The Company services SBA loans and certain residential property loans that are sold to the secondary market. The increases for the current quarter compared with the previous and year-ago quarters were primarily due to a decrease in servicing asset amortization from a decrease in loan payoffs and an increase in servicing income received. The increase for the current year compared with the previous year was primarily due to an increase in servicing income received, partially offset by an increase in servicing asset amortization from an increase in loan payoffs.

Salaries and Employee Benefits. The decrease for the current quarter compared to the previous quarter was primarily due to a decrease in incentives tied to the sales of Loan Production Offices (“LPO”) originated SBA loans and the incentive paid during the previous quarter for SBA PPP loan production. The increase for the current year compared with the previous year was primarily due to increases in wages, bonus accrual, and increases in incentives for LPO originated SBA loan sales, partially offset by decreases in vacation and stock compensation expense.

Professional Fees. The decrease for the current year compared with the previous year was primarily due to decreases in expenses related to the Bank’s Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering compliance enhancements, partially offset by an increase in audit fees.

Marketing and Business Promotion. The increase for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to the year-end promotion. The increases for the current quarter and year compared with the same periods of 2020 were primarily due to more marketing activities and advertisement for the current quarter and year.

Regulatory Assessments. The increase for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to an prior-period adjustment made during the previous quarter for the assessment rate decrease. The decreases for the current quarter and year compared with the same periods of 2020 were primarily due to a decrease in assessment rate, partially offset by an increase in balance sheet.

Balance Sheet (Unaudited)

Total assets were $2.15 billion at December 31, 2021, an increase of $45.0 million, or 2.1%, from $2.10 billion at September 30, 2021 and an increase of $226.9 million, or 11.8%, from $1.92 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase for the current quarter was primarily due to increases in loans held-for-sale and net loans held-for-investment, and the purchase of BOLI, partially offset by decreases in cash and cash equivalents and investment securities. The increase for the current year was primarily due to increases in loans held-for-investment, loans-held-for-sale, investment securities, and cash and cash equivalents, as well as the purchase of BOLI.

The increase in loans held-for-investment for the current quarter was primarily due to new funding of $120.8 million and advances on lines of credit of $30.0 million, partially offset by pay-downs and pay-offs of $123.1 million. The increase for the current year was primarily due to new funding of $619.7 million and advances on lines of credit of $118.9 million, partially offset by pay-downs and pay-offs of $581.0 million. SBA PPP loans of $37.9 million and $182.7 million were paid off through regular payments or forgiveness from SBA, and related unamortized net deferred fees were recognized through interest income, during the current quarter and year.

The increase in loans held-for-sale for the current quarter was primarily due to new funding of $45.4 million, partially offset by sales of $40.7 million. The increase for the current year was primarily due to new funding of $172.2 million, partially offset by sales of $145.8 million.

Loan Modifications Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic

The Company provided modifications, including interest only payments or payment deferrals, to customers that were adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The loan modifications met all criteria under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act. Therefore, the modified loans were not considered TDRs. As of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, the Company had no loans under modified terms related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Total loans under modified terms related to the COVID-19 pandemic totaled $36.1 million at December 31, 2020.

The Company had classified the loans that were granted modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic in excess of 6 months on a cumulative basis as special mention or classified. Special mention and classified loans included $15.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively, at December 31, 2021, $15.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively, at September 30, 2021, and $14.9 million and $4.2 million, respectively, at December 31, 2020, of the loans that were granted such modifications.

Investment Securities

Total investment securities were $123.2 million at December 31, 2021, a decrease of $9.9 million, or 7.4%, from $133.1 million at September 30, 2021, but an increase of $2.7 million, or 2.2%, from $120.5 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease for the current quarter was primarily due to principal pay-downs and calls of $8.9 million and net premium amortization of $192 thousand. The increase in investment securities for the current year was primarily due to purchases of $47.3 million, partially offset by principal pay-downs and calls of $41.1 million and net premium amortization of $1.0 million.

The increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposits for the current year was primarily due to the overall liquid deposit market. During the current year, a total of $93.9 million of SBA PPP loans were funded through the Bank’s noninterest-bearing demand deposits and deposit customers also received $201.1 million of SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans and SBA Revitalization Funds.

The increase in retail time deposits for the current quarter was primarily due to new accounts of $25.2 million, renewals of the matured accounts of $100.2 million, and balance increases of $4.1 million, partially offset by matured and closed accounts of $125.6 million. The decrease for the current year was primarily due to matured and closed accounts of $583.2 million, partially offset by new accounts of $101.6 million, renewals of the matured accounts of $428.8 million, and balance increases of $13.9 million.

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity was $256.3 million at December 31, 2021, an increase of $8.7 million, or 3.5%, from $247.6 million at September 30, 2021 and an increase of $22.5 million, or 9.6%, from $233.8 million at December 31, 2020. The increase for the current quarter was primarily due to net income, partially offset by cash dividends declared on common stock of $1.8 million and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income. The increase for the current year was primarily due to net income, partially offset by repurchases of common stock of $10.9 million, cash dividends declared on common stock of $6.7 million and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Stock Repurchase

On April 8, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to 5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of the date of the board meeting, which represented 775,000 shares, through September 7, 2021. The Company repurchased and retired 680,269 shares of common stock totaling $10.9 million at a weighted-average price of $15.99 per share under this program.

Emergency Capital Investment Program

On December 14, 2021, the U.S. Department of Treasury (the “Treasury”) informed the Company that the Treasury has reviewed the Company’s application to receive a capital investment from the Treasury under the Emergency Capital Investment Program (“ECIP”), and that the Company would be eligible to receive an ECIP investment in an amount up to $69,141,000 in the form of non-dilutive Tier 1 senior perpetual preferred capital. The Company has not yet determined whether it will accept the offer to receive the ECIP investment.

If the Company moves forward with pursuing the ECIP investment from the Treasury, the Company would be required to fulfill certain conditions established by the Treasury and would be subject to certain restrictions following its acceptance of the investment.

Established by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, the ECIP was created to encourage low- and moderate-income community financial institutions and minority depository institutions such as the Bank to augment their efforts to support small businesses and consumers in their communities.

Capital Ratios

Based on changes to the Federal Reserve’s definition of a “Small Bank Holding Company” that increased the threshold to $3 billion in assets in August 2018, the Company is not currently subject to separate minimum capital measurements. At such time as the Company reaches the $3 billion asset level, it will again be subject to capital measurements independent of the Bank. For comparison purposes, the Company’s ratios are included in following discussion. The following table presents capital ratios for the Company and the Bank as of dates indicated:

Total loans include both loans held-for-sale and loans held-for-investment, net of deferred loan fees and costs.

(2)

The yield on municipal bonds has not been computed on a tax-equivalent basis.

(3)

Net interest spread is calculated by subtracting average rate on interest-bearing liabilities from average yield on interest-earning assets.

(4)

Net interest margin is calculated by dividing annualized net interest income by average interest-earning assets.

(5)

Total funding is the sum of interest-bearing liabilities and noninterest-bearing deposits. The cost of total funding is calculated as annualized total interest expense divided by average total funding.

Non-GAAP Measures

($ in thousands)

 

Adjusted allowance for loan losses to loans held-for-investment ratio

 

Adjusted allowance for loan losses to loans held-for-investment ratio is calculated by removing SBA PPP loans from loans held-for-investment from the allowance for loan losses to loans held-for-investment ratio calculation. The SBA launched the PPP to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The SBA guarantees 100% of the PPP loans made to eligible borrowers, and the loans are eligible to be forgiven if certain conditions are met, at which point the SBA will make payments to the Bank for the forgiven amounts. The SBA guarantee on PPP loans cannot be separated from the loan and therefore is not a separate unit of account. The Company considered the SBA guarantee in the allowance for loan losses evaluation and determined that it is not required to reserve an allowance on SBA PPP loans. Management believes this non-GAAP measure enhances comparability to prior periods and provide supplemental information regarding the Company’s credit trends.
