LOS ANGELES--()--Commonwealth Business Bank (“CBB” or the “Bank”) (OTCQB: CWBB) today announced net income of $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2016, compared with $2.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 and $2.8 million for the first quarter of 2015.

Net income for the first quarter of 2016 increased $557,000 compared to the prior quarter and increased $331,000 compared to the first quarter of 2015. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily due to a $764,000 increase in net interest income, a $691,000 decrease in the data service expense, and a $144,000 decrease in marketing expense, which were partially offset by a $459,000 increase in salary and employee benefits expense and a $454,000 increase in income tax expense.

The year-over-year quarterly increase was primarily due to $1.8 million increase in net interest income, and a $228,000 increase in gain on sales of loans, which were partially offset by a $400,000 increase in provision for loan losses, an $854,000 increase in salary and employee benefits expense, a $221,000 increase in data service expense, and a $210,000 increase in income tax expense.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income before provision for loan losses was $8.3 million for the first quarter of 2016, an increase of $764,000, or 10.1%, compared to $7.6 million for the prior quarter, and an increase of $1.8 million, or 28.5%, compared to $6.5 million for the year ago quarter. These increases were primarily due to $2.1 million and $89.6 million increases, respectively, in average loan balances, and 51 and 48 basis point increases, respectively, in the average yield on loans.

The net interest margin improved to 4.46% for the current quarter, from 4.00% in the prior quarter and 4.04% in the same quarter of 2015. The increase in the net interest margin from the prior and year ago quarters was primarily due to a 48 basis point increase in the yield on interest-earning assets to 5.20% from 4.72% in the prior quarter, and a 47 basis point increase in the yield on interest-earning assets from 4.73% in the year ago quarter. These increases were primarily driven by increases in the average yield on loans. The increase in the average yield on loans in the current quarter was primarily due to (i) the December 2015 increase in the prime interest rate, (ii) recognition of $275,000 of interest income due to the payoff of a nonaccrual loan, and (iii) a $77,000 increase in prepayment penalties. Our cost of funds increased to 0.82% for the current quarter, from 0.80% in the prior quarter and from 0.77% in the same period last year. The increase in our cost of funds in the comparative quarters was due to increases in the ratio of higher-cost time deposits to total deposits.

Noninterest Income

For the current quarter, noninterest income totaled $2.9 million, a decrease of $186,000 compared to the prior quarter, and an increase of $234,000 compared to the year ago quarter. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily due to a $148,000 decrease in SBA loan servicing income. The year-over-year quarterly increase was due to a $228,000 increase in gains on sales of SBA loans, which was partially offset by a $77,000 decrease in SBA loan servicing income. The declines in SBA loan servicing income were primarily due to an increased level of SBA loan prepayments.

During the first quarter of 2016, the Bank sold $31.4 million of SBA loans, compared with $33.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 and $25.7 million in the first quarter of 2015. The amount of SBA loan sales varies based on the volume of loans we originate, our liquidity needs and market conditions.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2016 was $5.5 million, a decrease of $483,000, or 8.0%, from $6.0 million in the prior quarter and an increase of $1.1 million, or 25.8%, from $4.4 million in the same quarter last year. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily due to a $691,000 decrease in data service expense and a $144,000 decrease in marketing expense which were partially offset by a $459,000 increase in salary and employee benefits expense. The decrease in data service expenses was primarily due to a $751,000 reduction in core system conversion expenses. The Bank changed core data system providers in the fourth quarter of 2015. The year-over-year quarterly increase was primarily due to an $866,000 increase in salary and employee benefits expense and a $221,000 increase in data servicing expense. The increase in salary and employee benefits expense was due to an increase in full time equivalent employees (“FTE”) to 132 at the end of the current quarter compared to 127 at the end of 2015 and 106 at the end of the year ago quarter. We increased our employee count at the management and employee level to support growth and to strengthen our infrastructure.

BALANCE SHEET SUMMARY

At March 31, 2016, the Bank had total assets of $805.0 million, an increase of $18.6 million, or 2.4%, from $786.4 million at December 31, 2015, and an increase of $101.1 million, or 14.4%, from $703.9 million at March 31, 2015. Earning assets totaled $784.2 million at March 31, 2016, an increase of $18.5 million, or 2.42%, from $765.7 million at December 31, 2015 and an increase of $99.0 million, or 14.4%, from $685.2 million at March 31, 2015. The year-over-year increase in earning assets was primarily due to a $37.8 million increase in cash and interest-bearing deposits at the FRB and other banks, and a $60.9 million growth in loans including loans held-for-sale. These increases were partially funded by an $87.1 million increase in deposits.

Loans 30 to 89 days past due and on accrual status at the end of the current quarter were $2.3 million, an increase of $2.1 million compared to $175,000 at the end of the prior quarter, and an increase of $2.3 million from $18,000 a year ago. Nonaccrual loans decreased $1.0 million to $1.9 million at the end of the current quarter from $2.9 million at the end of the prior quarter, primarily due to our foreclosure of a $1.1 million commercial real estate loan. The foreclosed property is currently in escrow and no loss is anticipated if the escrow closes.

The allowance for loan losses at the end of the current quarter was $9.0 million, or 1.37% of gross loans excluding loans held-for-sale, compared to $8.5 million, or 1.32% of gross loans excluding loans held-for-sale, at December 31, 2015, and $9.0 million, or 1.52% of gross loans excluding loans held-for-sale, at March 31, 2015. The Bank recorded a $400,000 provision for loan losses in the current quarter, compared to a $350,000 provision for loan losses, and no provision for loan losses in the prior and year ago quarters, respectively.
