(1)  This measure is not a measure recognized under United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and is therefore considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP to GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of this measure to its most comparable GAAP measure. The efficiency ratio is defined as total non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income. The Company believes this measure is important as an indicator of productivity because it shows the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent.
(2)  Tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. Tangible shareholders’ equity is defined as total shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is total shareholder’s equity to total assets. The Company had no goodwill or other intangible assets at the end of any period indicated. The Company has not considered loan servicing rights or loan trailing fee assets as intangible assets for purposes of this calculation. As a result, tangible shareholders’ equity is the same as total shareholders’ equity at the end of each of the periods indicated.

Net Income
Net income was $3.2 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $3.3 million for the first quarter of 2024 and $4.6 million for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily due to increased compensation cost driven by increased spending on business infrastructure to support the payments and bank identification number (“BIN”) initiatives and enhance governance and lower non-interest income primarily resulting from acceleration of servicing fee amortization due to increased early payoffs of SBA loans. These were offset in part by an increase in net interest income reflecting higher average balances and an increase in yields on our held-for-sale loan portfolio, a decrease in the provision for credit losses reflecting lower levels of charge-offs, and a decrease in our effective tax rate. The decrease from the prior year period was primarily due to increases in compensation expense and other expenses driven by increased spending on business infrastructure and was offset in part by increases in net interest income driven by growth in the loans held for investment portfolio as well as a reduction in tax expense reflecting the lower level of pre-tax income.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $14.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $14.0 million for the first quarter of 2024 and $13.7 million for the second quarter of 2023. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to an increase in the loans held for investment portfolio and an increase in the yield on our held-for-sale loan portfolio partially offset by increases in the Bank’s average balances of, and rates paid for, certificates of deposit. The increase from the prior year period was primarily due to increases in the Bank’s average balances for the loans held for investment portfolio, partially offset by increased interest rates paid on deposits and increased average interest-bearing deposit balances.

Loan originations totaled $1.2 billion for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $1.1 billion for the prior quarter and $1.2 billion for the prior year period. For the first three weeks of July 2024, originations are tracking at approximately the same level as the second quarter of 2024 originations.

Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2024 was 10.31%, compared to 10.12% for the prior quarter and 12.14% for the prior year period. The increase from the prior quarter is primarily attributable to an increase in the loans held for investment balance and higher yields on the loans held-for-sale portfolio, partially offset by increases in the Bank’s average balances of, and rates paid for, certificates of deposit. The decrease from the prior year period was primarily due to decreases in the yields of the loans held-for-sale and loans held for investment portfolios reflecting the Bank’s efforts to increase loans outstanding to borrowers with lower credit risk and lower average yields.

Provision for Credit Losses
The Company’s provision for credit losses was $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $3.2 million for the prior quarter and $2.7 million for the prior year period. The provision decreased when compared to the prior quarter and the prior year period as the Company experiences lower levels of charge offs. Nonperforming assets have remained stable in the first half of 2024 when compared to the increases experienced in the latter half of 2023.

Non-interest Income

 For the Three Months Ended
($ in thousands)6/30/2024 3/31/2024 6/30/2023
Non-interest income     
Strategic Program fees$4,035  $3,965  $4,054 
Gain on sale of loans 356   415   700 
SBA loan servicing fees and servicing asset amortization (124)  466   226 
Change in fair value on investment in BFG (200)  (124)   
Other miscellaneous income 771   742   308 
Total non-interest income$4,838  $5,464  $5,288 
 

Non-interest income was $4.8 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $5.5 million for the prior quarter and $5.3 million for the prior year period. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily due to acceleration of servicing fee amortization due to increased payoffs on higher rate SBA loans. The decrease from the prior year period was related to a decrease in income from the gain on sale of loans, and a decrease in the fair value of our investment in BFG. Offsetting these decreases in part were increases in Strategic Program fees as origination volume increased, and other miscellaneous income related to rental income on our commercial operating leases.

Non-interest Expense

 For the Three Months Ended
($ in thousands)6/30/2024 3/31/2024 6/30/2023
Non-interest expense     
Salaries and employee benefits$8,609  $7,562  $6,681 
Professional services 1,282   1,567   1,305 
Occupancy and equipment expenses 1,121   980   718 
Recovery of SBA servicing asset (328)  (198)  (339)
Other operating expenses 2,206   1,896   1,634 
Total non-interest expense$12,890  $11,807  $9,999 
 

Non-interest expense was $12.9 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $11.8 million for the prior quarter and $10.0 million for the prior year period. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to an increase in compensation costs and other operating expenses as the Company continues to build-out our business infrastructure for new business initiatives and enhance our governance structure. The increase from the prior year period was primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits and other operating expenses driven by increased spending on business infrastructure along with an increase in occupancy and equipment expenses reflecting the growth in our business.

Reflecting the expenses incurred to develop our business infrastructure, the Company’s efficiency ratio was 66.3% for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 60.6% for the prior quarter and 52.7% for the prior year period. As a result of the infrastructure build, the Company anticipates the efficiency ratio will remain elevated until the Company begins to realize the revenues associated with the new programs being developed.

Tax Rate
The Company’s effective tax rate was 23.9% for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 26.5% for the prior quarter and 26.1% for the prior year period. The decrease from the prior quarter and prior year period was due primarily to more favorable resolution of historical state tax matters.

Balance Sheet
The Company’s total assets were $617.8 million as of June 30, 2024, an increase from $610.8 million as of March 31, 2024 and $495.6 million as of June 30, 2023. The increase from March 31, 2024 was primarily due to continued growth in the Company’s commercial leases, owner occupied commercial real estate, and residential real estate loan portfolios. The increase in total assets compared to June 30, 2023 was primarily due to increases in the Company’s SBA, commercial leases, owner occupied commercial real estate and consumer loan portfolios supported by a similar increase in deposits and growth in equity from retained earnings. Also contributing to the increase in total assets compared to the prior year period was an increase in the Company’s investment in BFG.

Total period end deposits$429,195   100.0% $424,096   100.0% $332,530   100.0%
 

Total deposits as of June 30, 2024 increased to $429.2 million from $424.1 million and $332.5 million as of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The increase from March 31, 2024 was driven primarily by an increase in brokered time certificates of deposits. The increase from June 30, 2023 was driven primarily by an increase in brokered time certificate of deposits and non-interest bearing demand deposits. As of June 30, 2024, 31.3% of deposits at the Bank level were uninsured, compared to 32.4% as of March 31, 2024, and 36.3% as of June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2024, 7.6% of total deposits at the Bank were required under the Company’s Strategic Program agreements and an additional 8.6% were associated with other accounts owned by the Company or the Bank.

Total shareholders’ equity as of June 30, 2024 increased $3.3 million to $165.8 million from $162.5 million at March 31, 2024. Compared to June 30, 2023, total shareholders’ equity increased by $18.4 million from $147.4 million. The increase from March 31, 2024 was primarily due to the Company’s net income. The increase from June 30, 2023 was primarily due to the Company’s net income as well as the additional capital issued in exchange for the Company’s increased ownership in BFG, partially offset by the repurchase of common stock under the Company’s repurchase program.

Bank Regulatory Capital Ratios
The following table presents the leverage ratios for the Bank as of the dates indicated as determined under the Community Bank Leverage Ratio Framework of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation:

As of  
Capital Ratios6/30/2024 3/31/2024 6/30/2023 Well-
Capitalized
Requirement
Leverage Ratio20.8% 20.6% 22.4% 9.0%
 

The leverage ratio increase from the prior quarter resulted from assets growing slower than earnings generated by operations. The leverage ratio decrease from the prior year period resulted primarily from the growth in the loan portfolio. The Bank’s capital levels remain significantly above well-capitalized guidelines as of June 30, 2024.

Share Repurchase Program
As of June 30, 2024, the Company has repurchased a total of 44,608 shares for $0.5 million under the Company’s share repurchase program announced in March 2024.

Asset Quality
Nonperforming loans were $27.9 million, or 6.5% of total loans receivable, as of June 30, 2024, compared to $26.0 million or 6.6% of total loans receivable, as of March 31, 2024 and $1.9 million, or 0.7% of total loans receivable as of June 30, 2023. Of the $27.9 million, $26.0 million, and $1.9 million nonperforming loans as of June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2023, respectively, $15.8 million, $14.8 million, and $1.1 million, respectively, are guaranteed by the SBA and $12.1 million, $11.2 million, and $0.7 million, respectively, is the balance of loans which do not carry SBA guarantees. The increase in nonperforming loans from the prior quarter was primarily attributable to SBA 7(a) loans classified as nonperforming during the quarter of which $1.3 million was guaranteed by the SBA. The increase in nonperforming loans from the prior year was primarily attributable to loans in the SBA 7(a) loan portfolio being classified as non-accrual mainly due to the negative impact of elevated interest rates on the Company’s small business borrowers. The Company’s allowance for credit losses to total loans held for investment was 3.2% as of June 30, 2024 compared to 3.2% as of March 31, 2024 and 4.2% as of June 30, 2023. The decrease from the prior year was primarily due to the Company’s increased retention of most of the originated guaranteed portions in its SBA 7(a) loan program.

The Company’s net charge-offs were $1.9 million, $3.4 million and $2.4 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2023, respectively. The decrease for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 when compared to the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023 was primarily due to decreased net charge-offs in the Strategic Program loans portfolio.

The following table presents a summary of changes in the allowance for credit losses and asset quality ratios for the periods indicated:

(1)  Tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. Tangible shareholders’ equity is defined as total shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is total shareholder’s equity to total assets. The Company had no goodwill or other intangible assets at the end of any period indicated. The Company has not considered loan servicing rights or loan trailing fee assets as intangible assets for purposes of this calculation. As a result, tangible shareholders’ equity is the same as total shareholders’ equity at the end of each of the periods indicated.
