“Our 2023 first quarter results, highlighted by our strong earnings, continued strong capital position, stable deposit balance, and disciplined credit culture, contributed to the steadfast value of our franchise,” stated Henry Kim, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We did not experience any meaningful deposit outflows immediately following the closure of regional banks. Instead, during the quarter, our deposit balances increased $95.7 million, of which, $25.7 million represented an increase in retail deposits.”

“Despite ongoing economic uncertainty, we began the year with another solid quarterly financial results highlighted by $10.3 million net income, or $0.70 per diluted shares, a 2.8% increase in tangible common equity per share to $18.72 from year-end, and a common equity tier 1 capital ratio of 16.03% at the bank level.”

“Although recent bank failures may disrupt the banking industry for a period of time, we are seeing this as an opportunity for our franchise to differentiate itself and provide a sanctuary to customers to put their trust in PCB and in the community banks. Our customers can rely on our ample liquidity and strong capital to withstand any economic uncertainty, and we are well-positioned to accommodate our customers’ lending and deposit needs,” concluded Kim.

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 increases in average yield for the current quarter compared with the previous and year-ago quarters were primarily due to an increase in overall interest rates on loans from the rising interest rate environment.

Investment Securities. The increases in average yield for the current quarter compared with the previous and year-ago quarters were primarily due to a decrease in net amortization of premiums on securities and higher yield on newly purchased investment securities.

Other Interest-Earning Assets. The increases in average yield for the current quarter compared with the previous and year-ago quarters were primarily due to an increased interest rate on cash held at the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) account.

Interest-Bearing Deposits. The increases in average cost for the current quarter compared with the previous and year-ago quarters were primarily due to an increase in market rates.

Provision for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures for previous and year-ago quarters were recorded in Other Expense on Consolidated Statements of Income (Unaudited).

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 326 through the application of the modified retrospective transition approach. Provision (reversal) for credit losses and ACL for reporting periods beginning with January 1, 2023 are presented under ASC 326, while prior period comparisons continue to be presented under legacy ASC 450 and ASC 310 on this report. See CECL Adoption and Allowance for Credit Losses sections included in the Balance Sheet discussion for additional information.

The reversal for credit losses for the current quarter was primarily due to net recoveries of $1.1 million and decreases in classified and nonaccrual loans during the current quarter.

The increase for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to increases in salaries and other employee benefit expense, including bonus and vacation accruals, from an increase in number of employees, as well as annual merit increases, partially offset by a decrease in incentives tied to sales of Loan Production Offices (“LPO”) originated SBA loans. The increase for the current quarter compared with the year-ago quarter was primarily due to increases in salaries and other employee benefit expense, partially offset by decreases in bonus accrual and incentives tied to the sales of LPO originated SBA loans. The number of full-time equivalent employees was 276, 272 and 256 as of March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively.

Occupancy and Equipment. The increase for the current quarter compared with the year-ago quarter was primarily due to new branch openings during the second half of 2022. The Company opened 3 new full-service branches in Dallas and Carrollton, Texas and Palisades Park, New Jersey.

Professional Fees. The increases for the current quarter and year were primarily due to an increase in internal audit fees.

Marketing and Business Promotion. The decreases for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to the larger marketing activities and advertisements for the Bank's name change to PCB Bank and new branch openings during the previous quarter.

Other Expense. The decrease for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to an increased office expense for the new branches during the previous quarter. The increase for the current quarter compared with the year-ago quarter was primarily due to increases in office expenses, other loan related expenses and armed guard expenses from the branch network expansion. Provision for credit losses on off-balance credit exposures of $57 thousand and $2 thousand was included in other expense for the previous and year-ago quarters, respectively, while the current quarter provision was included in provision (reversal) for credit losses.

Balance Sheet (Unaudited)

Total assets were $2.50 billion at March 31, 2023, an increase of $80.5 million, or 3.3%, from $2.42 billion at December 31, 2022 and an increase of $300.8 million, or 13.7%, from $2.20 billion at March 31, 2022. The increase for the current quarter was primarily due to increases in cash and cash equivalents and loans held-for-investment, partially offset by a decrease in loans held-for-sale.

CECL Adoption

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 326 through the application of the modified retrospective transition approach. The initial adjustment to the ACL is reflective of expected lifetime credit losses associated with the composition of financial assets within in the scope of ASC 326 as of January 1, 2023, as well as management’s current expectation of future economic conditions. The following table summarizes the initial adjustment to the ACL as of January 1, 2023:

ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures was recorded in Accrued Interest Payable and Other Liabilities on Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited).

In conjunction with the adoption of ASC 326, the Company made an accounting policy election not to measure an ACL on accrued interest receivables. When accrued interest receivable is deemed to be uncollectable, the Company promptly reverses such balances through current period interest income in the period they are deemed uncollectable. Additionally, the Company has also elected not to include the balance of accrued interest receivable in the amortized cost basis of financial assets within the scope of ASC 326. Accrued interest receivable will continue to be presented separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The measurement of the ACL on loans is performed by collectively evaluating loans with similar risk characteristics using a discounted cash flow approach. The discounted cash flow methodology incorporates a probability of default (“PD”) and loss given default (“LGD”) model, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts, and generates estimate of the contractual cash flows that are not expected to be collected over the life of the loan.

As a part of the adoption of ASC 326, the Company reviewed loan segmentation and revised certain loan segmentations for the Company’s ACL model. Before the adoption of ASC 326, commercial property and SBA property loans were separately presented and represented 63.0% and 6.6% of loans held-for-investment at December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company re-divided these loan segments into commercial property (non-owner occupied), business property (owner occupied) and multifamily loans as these new loan segments are determined to share similar characteristics under the Company’s ACL model. In addition, four loan segments before the adoption of ASC 326 (commercial term loans, commercial lines of credit, SBA term loans and SBA PPP loans), which represented 12.2% of loans held-for-investment at December 31, 2022, are combined into a single loan segment, commercial and industrial loans, as these loans are determined to share similar risk characteristics under the Company’s ACL model. In this report, loan segments on loan related disclosures for prior period comparisons are revised accordingly in order to be comparable to the Company’s new loan segmentations.

The increase in loans held-for-investment for the current quarter was primarily due to new funding and advances on lines of credit of $189.6 million and purchases of residential mortgage loans of $15.7 million, partially offset by pay-downs and pay-offs of $159.0 million.

The decrease in loans held-for-sale for the current quarter was primarily due to sales of $27.1 million and pay-downs and pay-offs of $4.1 million, partially offset by new funding of $22.7 million.

Investment Securities

Total investment securities were $144.7 million at March 31, 2023, an increase of $2.8 million, or 2.0%, from $141.9 million at December 31, 2022 and an increase of $13.3 million, or 10.1%, from $131.3 million at March 31, 2022. The increase for the current quarter was primarily due to purchases of $4.9 million and a fair value increase of $2.0 million, partially offset by principal pay-downs and calls of $4.1 million and net premium amortization of $57 thousand.

The decrease in noninterest-bearing demand deposits was primarily due to strong deposit market competition and the migration of noninterest-bearing demand deposits to money market accounts and time deposits attributable to the rising market rates. To retain existing and attract new customers, the Bank offers competitive rates on deposit products in the rising interest rate environment.

The increase in retail time deposits for the current quarter was primarily due to new accounts of $300.3 million, renewals of the matured accounts of $117.4 million and balance increases of $6.9 million, partially offset by matured and closed accounts of $263.3 million.

During the current quarter, the Company increased cash and cash equivalents by $43.5 million, or 29.6%, to $190.5 million and available borrowing capacity by $49.1 million, or 7.6%, to $699.8 million. As of March 31, 2023, the Company's cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity cover approximately 87.3% of deposits not covered by deposit insurance compared to 75.1% at December 31, 2022.

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity was $336.8 million at March 31, 2023, an increase of $1.4 million, or 0.4%, from $335.4 million at December 31, 2022 and an increase of $75.8 million, or 29.0%, from $261.1 million at March 31, 2022. The increase for the current quarter was primarily due to net income, partially offset by cash dividends declared on common stock of $2.2 million and repurchase of 385,381 shares of common stock at a weighted-average price of $17.76, totaling $6.8 million.

Stock Repurchase

On July 28, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a repurchase program authorizing for the repurchase of up to 5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of the date of the board meeting, which represented 747,938 shares, through February 1, 2023. On January 26, 2023, the Company announced the amendment to the repurchase program, which extended the program expiration from February 1, 2023 to February 1, 2024. The Company completed the repurchase program during the current quarter. Under this repurchase program, the Company repurchased and retired 747,938 shares of common stock at a weighted-average price of $18.15 per share, totaling $13.6 million.

Issuance of Preferred Stock Under the Emergency Capital Investment Program

On May 24, 2022, the Company issued 69,141 shares of Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C, liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (“Series C Preferred Stock”) for the capital investment of $69.1 million from the U.S. Treasury under the Emergency Capital Investment Program (“ECIP”). ECIP investment is treated as tier 1 capital for regulatory capital purposes.

The Series C Preferred Stock bears no dividend for the first 24 months following the investment date. Thereafter, the dividend rate will be adjusted based on the lending growth criteria listed in the terms of the ECIP investment with an annual dividend rate up to 2%. After the tenth anniversary of the investment date, the dividend rate will be fixed based on average annual amount of lending in years 2 through 10.

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 the dates indicated:

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted ACL on loans to loans held-for-investment ratio

Adjusted ACL on loans to loans held-for-investment ratio is calculated by removing SBA PPP loans from loans held-for-investment from the ACL on loans to loans held-for-investment ratio calculation. Management believed this non-GAAP measure enhanced comparability to prior periods and provided supplemental information regarding the Company’s credit trends; however, this non-GAAP measure had become less significant as most of SBA PPP loan balance were forgiven or paid off during 2022. This disclosure should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. The following table provides reconciliations of this non-GAAP measure with financial measure defined by GAAP.

These non-GAAP measures are used by management in its analysis of the Company's performance. This disclosure should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. The following tables provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures with financial measures defined by GAAP.
