  • Net interest income was $21.0 million for the current quarter compared with $21.9 million for the previous quarter and $22.4 million for the year-ago quarter. Net interest margin was 3.10% for the current quarter compared with 3.40% for the previous quarter and 3.79% for the year-ago quarter;
  • Gain on sale of loans was $1.1 million for the current quarter compared with $803 thousand for the previous quarter and $1.3 million for the year-ago quarter;
  • Total assets were $2.85 billion at March 31, 2024, an increase of $64.8 million, or 2.3%, from $2.79 billion at December 31, 2023, and an increase of $353.8 million, or 14.1%, from $2.50 billion at March 31, 2023;

“PCB continued to deliver strong first quarter results with momentum in loan and deposit growth stemming from our ongoing focus on relationship banking and strategic expansions, while maintaining very strong credit metrics,” said Henry Kim, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Currently, we are successfully undergoing our core system conversion that will enhance operational efficiency, functionality, and customer experience.”

“Our first quarter net income of $4.7 million included a total of $1.8 million in non-recurring expenses consisting of core conversion charges of $1.0 million and a SBA recovery demand of $815 thousand. During the quarter loan balance increased 3.1% to $2.4 billion, deposit balance increased 2.2% to $2.4 billion, and we continued to maintain robust ACL to loans ratio of 1.18%, and non-performing assets and classified assets to total assets ratios of 0.17% and 0.27%, respectively. The persistently higher interest rate environment and its effect on our funding costs resulted in further compression in our net interest margin during the quarter. However, we feel that our funding costs have peaked in the first quarter and our net interest margin is at near the bottom.”

Mr. Kim added, “As we look ahead for the rest of the year, PCB continues to be well positioned to deliver solid financial results with strong balance sheet growth and maintain sound asset quality with robust capital levels that are above our peers to operate in uncertain economic circumstances.”

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 increase in average yield for the current quarter was primarily due to increases in overall interest rates on loans, partially offset by decreases in accretion of discount on loans and prepayment fees.

Investment Securities. The decrease in average yield for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to a decrease in average balance of net unrealized losses on investment securities. The increase for the current quarter compared with the year-ago quarter was primarily due to higher yield on newly purchased investment securities.

Other Interest-Earning Assets. The increase in average yield for the current quarter was primarily due to increases in interest rate on cash held at the Federal Reserve Bank and dividends received on Federal Home Loan Bank stock.

Interest-Bearing Deposits. The increase in average cost for the current quarter was primarily due to an increase in market rates.

Salaries and Employee Benefits. The increase for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to increases in vacation accrual and other employee benefits. The increase for the current quarter compared with the year-ago quarter was primarily due to increases in salaries and incentives tied to sales of SBA loans originated at loan production offices, partially offset by decreases in bonus and vacation accruals. The number of full-time equivalent employees was 272, 270 and 276 as of March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

Occupancy and Equipment. The increase for the current quarter was primarily due to an expansion of headquarters location in the second half of 2023 and the preparation of a relocation of a regional office and two branches into one location in Orange County, California.

Professional Fees. The increase for the current quarter was primarily due to increases in professional fees related to a core system conversion that was completed in April 2024.

Marketing and Business Promotion. The decrease for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to the Company’s 20th anniversary celebration during the previous quarter.

Other Expense. The increase for the current quarter was primarily due to a termination charge for the legacy core system of $508 thousand and an expense of $815 thousand for a reimbursement for an SBA loan guarantee previously paid by the SBA on a loan originated in 2014 that subsequently defaulted and was ultimately determined to be ineligible for the SBA guaranty. The Company retained the legal services of a law firm specializing on matters equivalent to our recovery demand for SBA to reconsider all the evidences in order for us to recoup it ranging from partial to full amount.

Balance Sheet (Unaudited)

Total assets were $2.85 billion at March 31, 2024, an increase of $64.8 million, or 2.3%, from $2.79 billion at December 31, 2023, and an increase of $353.8 million, or 14.1%, from $2.50 billion at March 31, 2023. The increase for the current quarter was primarily due to increases in loans held-for-investment.

The decrease in loans held-for-sale for the current quarter was primarily due to sales of $19.4 million, and pay-downs and pay-offs of $1.6 million, partially offset by new funding of $19.1 million.

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 reflects the expected lifetime credit losses associated with the composition of financial assets within the scope of ASC 326 as of January 1, 2023, as well as management’s current expectation of future economic conditions. The Company recorded a net decrease of $1.9 million to the beginning balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2023 for the cumulative effect adjustment, reflecting an initial adjustment to the ACL on loans of $1.1 million and the ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures of $1.6 million, net of related deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of $788 thousand.

Investment Securities

Total investment securities were $138.2 million at March 31, 2024, a decrease of $5.2 million, or 3.6%, from $143.3 million at December 31, 2023, and a decrease of $6.5 million, or 4.5%, from $144.7 million at March 31, 2023. The decrease for the current quarter was primarily due to a fair value decrease of $1.6 million, principal pay-downs of $3.5 million and net premium amortization of $41 thousand.

Total retail deposits were $2.04 billion at March 31, 2024, an increase of $55.2 million, or 2.8%, from $1.99 billion at December 31, 2023, and an increase of $118.4 million, or 6.2%, from $1.92 billion at March 31, 2023.

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

The increase in retail time deposits for the current quarter was primarily due to new accounts of $123.2 million, renewals of the matured accounts of $259.1 million and balance increases of $8.7 million, partially offset by matured and closed accounts of $341.9 million.

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity was $350.0 million at March 31, 2024, an increase of $1.1 million, or 0.3%, from $348.9 million at December 31, 2023, and an increase of $13.2 million, or 3.9%, from $336.8 million at March 31, 2023. The increase for the current quarter was primarily due to net income, partially offset by an increase in other comprehensive loss of $1.2 million and cash dividends declared on common stock of $2.6 million.

Stock Repurchases

In 2023, the Company repurchased and retired 512,657 shares of common stock at a weighted-average price of $17.22, totaling $8.8 million. The Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock during the current quarter. As of March 31, 2024, the Company is authorized to purchase 592,724 additional shares under the 2023 stock repurchase program, which expires on August 2, 2024.

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”). The 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 of up to 2%. After the tenth anniversary of the investment date, the dividend rate will be fixed based on the average annual amount of lending in years 2 through 10.

The Company expects to pay the initial quarterly dividend at an annualized dividend rate of 2% beginning in the second quarter of 2024.

Capital Ratios

Based on the Federal Reserve’s Small Bank Holding Company policy, the Company is not currently subject to consolidated minimum capital measurements. At such time as the Company reaches the $3 billion asset level, it will be subject to consolidated capital requirements independent of the Bank. For comparison purposes, the Company’s capital ratios are included in following table, which presents capital ratios for the Company and the Bank as of the dates indicated:

PCB Bancorp and Subsidiary
Non-GAAP Measures
($ in thousands)

Return on average tangible common equity, tangible common equity per common share and tangible common equity to total assets ratios

The Company's TCE is calculated by subtracting preferred stock from shareholders’ equity. The Company does not have any intangible assets for the presented periods. Return on average TCE, TCE per common share, and TCE to total assets constitute supplemental financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are used by management in its analysis of the Company's performance. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as substitutes for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP measures that may be presented by other companies. The following tables provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures with financial measures defined by GAAP.
