(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 noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income. We believe this measure is important as an indicator of productivity because it shows the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent.

(2) This measure is not a measure recognized under 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. 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. We had no goodwill or other intangible assets as of any of the dates indicated. We have not considered loan servicing rights as an intangible asset for purposes of this calculation. As a result, tangible shareholders’ equity is the same as total shareholders’ equity as of each of the dates indicated.

 

Net Income

Net income was $3.7 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $5.5 million for the second quarter of 2022, and $8.4 million for the third quarter of 2021. The decline from the previous quarter was primarily due to higher provision for income taxes, higher provision for loan losses and lower strategic program fees, partially offset by a decrease in non-interest expense. Compared to the prior year period, the decline was primarily driven by an increase in the provision for loan losses and non-interest expenses and a decrease in gain-on-sale of loans and interest income.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $12.5 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $12.8 million for the second quarter of 2022, and $13.5 million for the third quarter of 2021. The decline from both prior periods was primarily due to lower average loans held for sale balances.

Loan originations totaled $1.5 billion for the third quarter of 2022, down from $2.1 billion for the second quarter of 2022, and down from $1.8 billion for the third quarter of 2021.

Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2022 increased to 14.93% compared to 13.69% for the second quarter of 2022 and decreased compared to 18.31% for the third quarter of 2021. The increase from the previous quarter was primarily driven by an increase in variable rates on SBA 7(a) loans and a loan mix shift away from loans carrying lower yields within the strategic program held for sale portfolio. The net interest margin decrease from the third quarter of 2021 was driven mainly by a loan mix shift toward loans carrying lower yields.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company’s provision for loan losses was $4.5 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2021. Compared to the previous quarter and third quarter of 2021, the increase in provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2022 was primarily due to higher net charge-offs and growth of unguaranteed loans held for investment.

Non-interest Income

    For the Three Months Ended
($s in thousands)   9/30/2022   6/30/2022   9/30/2021
Non-interest income:            
Strategic program fees   $ 5,136   $ 6,221   $ 4,982
Gain on sale of loans   1,923   2,412   2,876
SBA loan servicing fees   327   342   337
Change in fair value on investment in BFG   65   (575)   266
Other miscellaneous income   72   31   14
Total non-interest income   $ 7,523   $ 8,431   $ 8,475
                   

Non-interest income was $7.5 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $8.4 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $8.5 million for the third quarter of 2021. The decline from the previous quarter was driven primarily by lower strategic program fees due to the decline in loan origination volumes and the decline in gain on sale of loans due to a decrease in the premium received for SBA 7(a) loans sold, partially offset by a decrease in fair value of the Company’s investment in Business Funding Group, LLC (“BFG”) in the previous quarter which did not occur in the third quarter of 2022. Compared to the prior year period, the decrease was primarily due to lower gain on sale of loans due to a decrease in the premium received for SBA 7(a) loans sold and a decrease in the change in fair value of the Company’s investment in BFG.

Non-interest Expense

    For the Three Months Ended 
($s in thousands)   9/30/2022     6/30/2022   9/30/2021
Non-interest expense:              
Salaries and employee benefits   $ 5,137     $ 6,594   $ 5,930
Occupancy and equipment expenses   640     419   205
(Recovery) impairment of SBA servicing asset    (127 )   1,135     -
Other operating expenses   2,819     2,871   1,263
Total non-interest expense   $ 8,469     $ 11,019   $ 7,398
               

Non-interest expense was $8.5 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $11.0 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $7.4 million for the third quarter of 2021. The decrease over the previous quarter was primarily due to the cessation in June 2022 of commission accruals related to the Company’s strategic lending program and an impairment on the Company’s SBA servicing asset in the previous quarter which did not occur in the third quarter of 2022. The increase compared to the third quarter of 2021 was primarily due to increased other operating expenses relating primarily to an increase in consulting fees, partially offset by the cessation in June 2022 of commission accruals related to the Company’s strategic lending program.

The Company’s efficiency ratio was 42.3% for the third quarter of 2022 as compared to 52.0% for the second quarter of 2022 and 33.7% for the third quarter of 2021.

Tax Rate

The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 48.7% for the third quarter of 2022, compared to 24.6% for the second quarter of 2022 and 24.5% for the third quarter of 2021. During the final preparation for filing of the Company’s 2021 income tax returns an immaterial error in the calculation of the Company’s tax provision was identified that understated the income tax expense. This error was corrected during the third quarter of 2022.    

Balance Sheet  

The Company’s total assets were $385.6 million at September 30, 2022, an increase from $366.0 million at June 30, 2022 and an increase from $338.3 million at September 30, 2021. The increase over the prior period was mainly due to an increase in deposits utilized to fund the Company’s growth in held for investment loan portfolio and the Strategic Program held for sale loan portfolio. The increase in total assets compared to September 30, 2021 was mainly due to an increase in cash from the Company’s public stock offering, growth in deposits to fund the Company’s held for investment loan portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in deposits utilized to fund the Company’s held for sale loan portfolio.

The increase in loans receivable compared to the amount at September 30, 2021 was due primarily to increases in SBA 7(a) loan balances that are not guaranteed by the SBA, residential real estate loans, and commercial, non real estate loans, partially offset by decreases in strategic program held for sale loans and SBA 7(a) loan balances that are guaranteed by the SBA.

The following table shows the Company’s deposit composition as of the dates indicated:

    As of
    9/30/2022   6/30/2022   9/30/2021
($s in thousands)   Total   Percent   Total   Percent   Total   Percent
Noninterest-bearing demand deposits   $ 97,654   42.0%   $ 83,490   38.1%   $ 109,459   43.4%
Interest-bearing deposits:                        
Demand   55,152   23.6%   11,360   5.1%   5,398   2.1%
Savings   7,252   3.1%   7,462   3.4%   8,146   3.2%
Money markets   12,281   5.3%   48,273   22.0%   25,679   10.1%

Total period end deposits   $ 232,838   100.0%   $ 219,359   100.0%   $ 253,036   100.0%
                         

Total deposits at September 30, 2022 increased to $232.8 million from $219.4 million at June 30, 2022, and decreased from $253.0 million at September 30, 2021. The increase from the amount at June 30, 2022 was driven primarily by an increase in interest-bearing demand and noninterest-bearing demand deposits, partially offset by decreases in money market deposits and time certificates of deposits.   The decrease from the amount at September 30, 2021 was driven by decreases in time certificates of deposit, money market deposits, and noninterest-bearing demand deposits, partially offset by an increase in interest-bearing demand deposits. The increase in interest-bearing demand deposits over both periods is primarily due to new HSA deposits from Lively, Inc., a technology focused Health Savings Account provider.       

Total shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2022 increased $3.8 million, to $134.3 million from $130.5 million at June 30, 2022. Compared to September 30, 2021, total shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2022 increased $65.2 million from $69.1 million. The increase in shareholders’ equity over the prior quarter was mainly driven by net income for the third quarter of 2022. The increase over the prior year period was primarily due to the Company’s initial public offering and net income.

Bank Regulatory Capital Ratios

The following table presents the leverage ratios for the Bank as of the dates indicated:

                     
    As of   2022   2021
    9/30/2022   6/30/2022   9/30/2021   Well-Capitalized Requirement   Well-Capitalized Requirement
Leverage Ratio (Bank under CBLR)   24.9%   21.4%   19.5%   9.0%   8.5%
                     

The Bank’s capital levels remain significantly above well-capitalized guidelines as of the end of the third quarter of 2022.

Share Repurchase Program

On August 18, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to 5% of outstanding common stock as of August 16, 2022, or 644,241 shares of the Company’s common stock, through August 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has repurchased a total of 20,000 shares for a total of $0.2 million.

Asset Quality

The Company did not have any nonperforming loans at September 30, 2022, compared to $0.6 million or 0.3% of total loans receivable at June 30, 2022 and $0.8 million or 0.3% of total loans receivable at September 30, 2021. As noted above, the provision for loan losses was $4.5 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2021. The Company’s allowance for loan losses to total loans (less PPP loans) was 4.7% at September 30, 2022 compared to 4.6% at June 30, 2022 and 3.9% at September 30, 2021.

For the third quarter of 2022, the Company’s net charge-offs were $3.1 million, compared to $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2021. The increase in net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2022 was primarily driven by higher net charge-offs related to strategic programs and charge-offs related to SBA 7(a) loan balances that are not guaranteed by the SBA that have been carried as classified assets since 2019. The increase in net charge-offs during the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021 was mainly driven by some normalization of credit losses to pre-pandemic market conditions and growth in the Company’s held for investment balances.

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

The program does not require the Company to purchase any specific number or amount of shares and may be suspended or reinstated at any time in the Company’s discretion and without notice.

The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the Company’s underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from its forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this release, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether because of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict their occurrence. In addition, the Company cannot assess the impact of each risk and uncertainty on its business or the extent to which any risk or uncertainty, or combination of risks and uncertainties, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

(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. 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. We had no goodwill or other intangible assets as of any of the dates indicated. We have not considered loan servicing rights as an intangible asset for purposes of this calculation. As a result, tangible shareholders’ equity is the same as total shareholders’ equity as of each of the dates indicated.

(2) This measure is not a measure recognized under 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.  Allowance for loan losses to total loans (less PPP loans) is defined as the allowance for loan losses divided by total loans minus PPP loans. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is allowance for loan losses to total loans.
