Highlights this quarter include a net interest margin of 4.08%, along with growth in both deposits and loans. We believe our performance amidst the difficult banking environment continues to position us uniquely amongst our peers. Our consistent focus on our C&I and consumer businesses as well as our service fee businesses has enabled us to continue to deliver strong, sustainable performance and ultimately a record earnings year for fiscal 2023. I want to thank all of our hard-working team members across all of our markets as their dedication to customer service has enabled us to deliver our record performance for the year.

We are also very excited about the strategic merger we announced last week with HomeStreet, Inc. We believe they further our ability to diversify our business and to deliver strong shareholder value. We look forward to expanding our geographic presence in the Southern California and Pacific Northwest markets. We will work together to thoughtfully integrate our two organizations.”

Fourth Quarter 2023 Results

Net income totaled $24.0 million, or $0.94 per diluted share, during the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $25.2 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, during the prior quarter. The return on average total assets was 1.26% in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to 1.34% in the prior quarter, and the return on average stockholders’ equity was 11.19% in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to 12.03% in the prior quarter.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income totaled $72.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2023, a decrease of $1.3 million compared to the prior quarter. Our net interest margin decreased 15 basis points to 4.08% compared to the prior quarter. Results in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to the prior quarter, were driven by an increase of 27 basis points in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by an increase of seven basis points in yield on earning assets.

Average loans, including loans held-for-sale, increased by $99.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to the prior quarter. Loan yield increased by seven basis points to 6.51% in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to higher yields on new originations as compared to amortizing and maturing balances. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $176.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to the prior quarter. Total cost of deposits increased by 29 basis points to 2.93% in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to rising deposit costs as a result of the elevated interest rate environment and an increasing mix of certificates of deposits. Average FHLB borrowings decreased $10.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to the prior quarter. The cost of FHLB borrowings increased by 24 basis points to 5.64% in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to the rising interest rate environment.

Asset Quality and Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses totaled $6.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2023, an increase of $2.7 million from $3.9 million in the prior quarter, primarily due to loan growth and a charge-off on a specific customer relationship in our loan portfolio.

Net charge-offs during the fourth quarter of 2023 were $4.7 million, primarily due to deterioration on a specific customer relationship in our loan portfolio, resulting in an annualized ratio of net charge-offs to average loans of 0.30%, compared to net charge-offs of $2.3 million, or an annualized ratio of net-charge offs to average loans of 0.15% in the prior quarter. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.28% at December 31, 2023, an increase of one basis point from the prior quarter.

The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.85% at December 31, 2023, compared to 0.63% at September 30, 2023.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income totaled $17.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2023, a decrease of $1.4 million from the prior quarter. Mortgage banking income decreased $2.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights portfolio, net of derivative activity. Other noninterest income increased $1.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily due to a gain on the disposal of an other real estate owned property in the quarter. Noninterest income as a percentage of total revenue1 was 19.3%, a decrease of 1.0% from the prior quarter.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $52.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2023, a decrease of $3.9 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to a decrease in salary and employee benefits of $3.8 million as a result of lower levels of variable compensation.

The efficiency ratio for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 58.58% compared to 61.02% in the prior quarter.

Tax Rate

The effective tax rate was 21.0% in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to 21.1% in the prior quarter.

Loans

Loans were $6.3 billion at December 31, 2023, compared to $6.2 billion at September 30, 2023, an increase of $87.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, or 5.7% on an annualized basis.

Deposits

Average deposits were $6.5 billion for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $6.3 billion for the prior quarter, an increase of $120.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, or 7.6% on an annualized basis. Noninterest-bearing deposit accounts represented 24.0% of total deposits at December 31, 2023 and the loan-to-deposit ratio was 98.3% at December 31, 2023.

The ratio of total uninsured deposits to total deposits was estimated to be 31.2% at December 31, 2023, compared to 32.0% at September 30, 2023. The ratio of total uninsured and uncollateralized deposits to total deposits was estimated to be 25.1% at December 31, 2023, compared to 25.4% at September 30, 2023.2

Capital ratios remain strong and above “well-capitalized” thresholds. As of December 31, 2023, our common equity tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 11.10%, total risk-based capital ratio was 13.25% and tier 1 leverage ratio was 10.52%. Book value per common share was $35.14 at December 31, 2023, an increase of $1.31 from September 30, 2023. Tangible book value per common share, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $30.96 at December 31, 2023, an increase of $1.36 from September 30, 2023.

  • Net interest margin of 4.23%
  • Return on average total assets of 1.38%
  • Return on average stockholders’ equity of 12.50%
  • Average deposit growth of 9.65%
  • Loan growth of 6.01%
  • 21.2% fee revenue to total revenue1

Net income totaled $103.5 million, or $4.08 per diluted share, in 2023, compared to $59.2 million, or $2.48 per diluted share, in 2022. Net income included merger costs, net of tax, of $17.0 million in 2022. The return on average total assets was 1.38% in 2023, compared to 0.88% in 2022, and the return on average stockholders’ equity was 12.50% in 2023, compared to 8.55% in 2022. The unfavorable impact in 2022 of merger costs, net of tax, to return on average total assets was 0.25% and to return on average stockholders’ equity was 2.46%.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income totaled $293.4 million in 2023, an increase of $51.8 million compared to 2022. Our net interest margin increased 36 basis points to 4.23% in 2023, compared to 2022. Results in 2023, compared to the prior year, were driven by an increase of 169 basis points in yield on earning assets, partially offset by an increase of 187 basis points in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

Average loans, including loans held-for-sale, increased by $962.2 million in 2023, compared to 2022. Loan yield increased by 149 basis points to 6.24% in 2023, compared to 2022, primarily due to the rising interest rate environment and its impact on variable rate loans in the loan portfolio and higher yields on new originations. Average deposits increased $698.8 million in 2023, compared to 2022. Total cost of deposits increased by 192 basis points to 2.27% in 2023, compared to 2022, primarily due to increased pricing on our deposit products as a result of the rising interest rate environment. Average FHLB borrowings increased $54.4 million in 2023, compared to 2022. The cost of FHLB borrowings increased by 216 basis points to 5.05% in 2023, compared to 2022, primarily due to the rising interest rate environment.

Asset Quality and Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses totaled $18.2 million in 2023, an increase of $0.2 million compared to the prior year or an increase of $3.1 million when excluding the $2.9 million merger related provision for credit losses in 2022 related to certain non-impaired loans acquired at a premium valuation. The adjusted increase of $3.1 million is primarily due to loan growth and charge-offs on two specific customer relationships in our loan portfolio.

Net charge-offs in 2023 were $7.8 million, or a ratio of net charge-offs to average loans of 0.13%, compared to net (recoveries) of $(0.3) million, or a ratio of net (recoveries) to average loans of (0.01)%, in 2022. The increase in net charge-offs (recoveries) in 2023 is primarily due to deterioration on two specific customer relationships in our loan portfolio.

The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.28% at December 31, 2023, compared to 1.12% at December 31, 2022.

On January 1, 2023, we adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), which increased our allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans to 1.20% at adoption, or an eight basis point increase from 1.12% at December 31, 2022. The increase in our allowance for credit losses was a result of changing from an “incurred loss” model, which encompasses allowances for current known and incurred losses within the portfolio, to an “expected loss” model, which encompasses allowances for losses expected to be recognized over the life of the portfolio.

The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.85% at December 31, 2023, compared to 0.48% at December 31, 2022.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income totaled $79.1 million during 2023, a decrease of $10.5 million from 2022. Mortgage banking income decreased $14.9 million in 2023, primarily due to a decrease in net sale gains and fees from mortgage loan originations as the volume of mortgage loan sales decreased from the prior year. Service charges on deposits increased $3.1 million in 2023, primarily due to growth in treasury management services provided to our business customers, as compared to 2022. Noninterest income as a percentage of total revenue1 totaled 21.2% in 2023, compared to 27.0% in 2022.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $222.8 million in 2023, a decrease of $16.3 million from 2022, primarily due to merger costs of $18.8 million in 2022. The efficiency ratio for 2023 was 59.81% compared to 72.20% in 2022. The unfavorable impact of merger expenses to the efficiency ratio was 5.66% in 2022.

Tax Rate

The effective tax rate was 21.3% in 2023, compared to 20.0% in 2022.

Loans
