Min Kim, President and Chief Executive Officer:
“We are pleased to report record earnings of $9.1 million, or $0.59 per diluted common share in the fourth quarter. Our loans and deposits grew 25% and 28%, respectively, from a year ago. The loan growth has come from all our loan categories. During the fourth quarter, we have added a new Specialty Deposit Center, which focuses on servicing escrow and trust clients. The growth in our noninterest-bearing deposits during the fourth quarter, which reached a record level at 51% of total deposits, was largely attributable to the Specialty Deposit Center. Our efficiency was also significantly improved as we focused on managing expenses while growing our revenue-generating activities. The economy seems poised for continued growth over the next several quarters despite headwinds related to the Omicron variant, inflation, and supply chain bottlenecks. We remain optimistic about the future and will continue to focus on executing our strategic goals while maintaining appropriate risk and control environment.”

In addition, the Company purchased home mortgage loans with unpaid principal balance of $48.9 million from third-party sellers in December 2021. Because these loans generally earn interest at a rate that is higher than current market rates, the loans were purchased at a premium to par, resulting in a total purchase price of $49.5 million. The Company amortizes the purchase premium over the expected life of the portfolio using the interest method of accounting.
Fourth Quarter 2021 vs. Third Quarter 2021
Net interest income increased $507 thousand, or 3%, primarily due to higher interest income on loans. Net interest margin was 4.07%, a decrease of 14 basis points from 4.21%.
- An increase of $349 thousand in interest income from loans was primarily due to higher average balances from C & I loan growth and higher contractual loan yield from loan composition change driven by a decrease in lower-yielding PPP balances.
- A decrease of 14 basis points in net interest margin was primarily due to a 16 basis point decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets driven by higher average balances on lower-yielding cash equivalents.
- Average loan yield was 5.10%, a decrease of three basis points from 5.13%, reflecting lower loan fees from PPP loan forgiveness.
- Average cost of deposits was 0.19%, a decrease of two basis points from 0.21%.
Fourth Quarter 2021 vs. Fourth Quarter 2020
Net interest income increased $4.9 million, or 40%, primarily due to higher average loan balance and SBA discount accretion largely resulting from the Hana loan purchase, as well as higher loan fees from PPP loan forgiveness. Net interest margin was 4.07%, an increase of 34 basis points from 3.73%.
- An increase of $4.3 million in interest income from loans was primarily due to average loan growth. SBA discount accretions from the Hana loan purchase and loan fees from PPP loan forgiveness have also contributed to the increase.
- The improvement of 34 basis points in net interest margin was primarily driven by a 33 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
- Average loan yield was 5.10%, an increase of 45 basis points from 4.65%, reflecting higher SBA discount accretions from the Hana loan purchase, and higher loan fees from PPP loan forgiveness.
-
Average cost of deposits was 0.19%, a decrease of 21 basis points from 0.40%. The decrease in the cost of deposits primarily reflects the impact of lower interest rates and an increase of noninterest bearing deposits in deposit mix.
Provision for loan losses
Fourth Quarter 2021 vs. Third Quarter 2021
The Company recorded $1.9 million provision for loan losses, compared with a negative $884 thousand provision for loan losses. The $1.9 million provision for loan losses was primarily due to loan growth from new warehouse lines of credit and home mortgage purchases.
Fourth Quarter 2021 vs. Fourth Quarter 2020
The Company recorded $1.9 million provision for loan losses, compared with $1.8 million provision for loan losses.

Deposit growth was primarily driven by continued customer preferences for liquidity given the sustained economic uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Overall, the Company continued to maintain solid asset quality with low levels of nonperforming loans and net charge-offs. Nonperforming assets and criticized loans remained below our historical norms, a reflection of our conservative credit culture and expertise in the industries we serve. Our allowance remained strong with an adjusted allowance to gross loans ratio of 1.36%. We expect economic metrics to remain relatively strong over the next year, which bodes well for growth.; however, we remain vigilant given potential impacts on our customers from supply chain and labor constraints as well as COVID variants.
- Allowance for loan losses increased $771 thousand to $16.1 million from a year ago. Excluding the impacts of the purchased Hana loans, PPP loans, and the allowance for uncollectible accrued interest receivable, adjusted allowance to gross loans ratio was 1.36% as of December 31, 2021.
- Criticized loans decreased by $3.8 million or 49% from a year ago, and the criticized loans to gross loans ratio improved by 40 basis points, primarily due to a $3.8 million payoff in one C&I relationship. Criticized loans are generally consistent with the Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss categories defined by regulatory authorities.
- Nonperforming assets increased $2.2 million to $3.2 million, or 0.19% of total assets from a year ago. The increase in nonperforming assets was primarily due to SBA loans that were placed on nonaccrual in 2021. As of December 31, 2021, $1.0 million of nonaccrual loans was the guaranteed portion of SBA loans that are in liquidation. The Company did not have OREO as of December 31, 2021 or 2020.
-
Net charge-offs were $168 thousand or 0.05% of average loans. In comparison, there were no net charge-offs recorded in the fourth quarter 2020.

Total outstanding balance of loans remaining in deferment status as of December 31, 2021, represented 0.4% of the total loan portfolio.
The Company continues to carefully monitor the trajectory of the economic recovery, which could be impacted by the emergence of new variants and continued spread of COVID-19. In addition, we continue to support our clients, employees, and communities.
Since the PPP’s inception through December 31, 2021, we have funded $154.5 million, and $118.7 million of principal forgiveness has been provided on qualifying PPP loans. There were no new PPP loans during the fourth quarter of 2021.
Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to GAAP measures, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance.
Pre-provision net revenue removes provision for loan losses and income tax expense. Management believes that this non-GAAP measure, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures (as applicable), provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance. This non-GAAP financial measure also facilitates a comparison of our performance to prior periods.

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company purchased 638 loans from Hana for a total purchase price of $97.6 million. The Company evaluated $100.0 million of the loans purchased in accordance with the provisions of ASC 310-20, Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs, which were recorded with a $8.9 million discount. As a result, the fair value discount on these loans is being accreted into interest income over the expected life of the loans using the effective yield method. Adjusted loan yield and net interest margin for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021 excluded the impacts of contractual interest and discount accretion of the purchased loans as management does not consider purchasing loan portfolios to be normal or recurring transactions. Management believes that presenting the adjusted average loan yield and net interest margin provide comparability to prior periods and these non-GAAP financial measures provide supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance.

These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those projected. These risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control, include, but are not limited to: the uncertainties related to the coronavirus pandemic including, but not limited to, the potential adverse effect of the pandemic on the economy, our employees and customers, and our financial performance; the impact of the federal CARES Act and the significant additional lending activities undertaken by the Company in connection with the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program enacted thereunder, including risks to the Company with respect to the uncertain application by the Small Business Administration of new borrower and loan eligibility, forgiveness and audit criteria; business and economic conditions, particularly those affecting the financial services industry and our primary market areas; our ability to successfully manage our credit risk and the sufficiency of our allowance for loan losses; factors that can impact the performance of our loan portfolio, including real estate values and liquidity in our primary market areas, the financial health of our commercial borrowers, the success of construction projects that we finance, including any loans acquired in acquisition transactions; our ability to effectively execute our strategic plan and manage our growth; interest rate fluctuations, which could have an adverse effect on our profitability; liquidity issues, including fluctuations in the fair value and liquidity of the securities we hold for sale and our ability to raise additional capital, if necessary; external economic and/or market factors, such as changes in monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including the interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve, inflation or deflation, changes in the demand for loans, and fluctuations in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits, which may have an adverse impact on our financial condition; continued or increasing competition from other financial institutions, credit unions, and non-bank financial services companies, many of which are subject to different regulations than we are; challenges arising from unsuccessful attempts to expand into new geographic markets, products, or services; restraints on the ability of Open Bank to pay dividends to us, which could limit our liquidity; increased capital requirements imposed by banking regulators, which may require us to raise capital at a time when capital is not available on favorable terms or at all; a failure in the internal controls we have implemented to address the risks inherent to the business of banking; inaccuracies in our assumptions about future events, which could result in material differences between our financial projections and actual financial performance; changes in our management personnel or our inability to retain motivate and hire qualified management personnel; disruptions, security breaches, or other adverse events, failures or interruptions in, or attacks on, our information technology systems; disruptions, security breaches, or other adverse events affecting the third-party vendors who perform several of our critical processing functions; an inability to keep pace with the rate of technological advances due to a lack of resources to invest in new technologies; risks related to potential acquisitions; political developments, uncertainties or instability, catastrophic events, acts of war or terrorism, or natural disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, drought, pandemic diseases (such as the coronavirus) or extreme weather events, any of which may affect services we use or affect our customers, employees or third parties with which we conduct business; incremental costs and obligations associated with operating as a public company; the impact of any claims or legal actions to which we may be subject, including any effect on our reputation; compliance with governmental and regulatory requirements, including the Dodd-Frank Act and others relating to banking, consumer protection, securities and tax matters, and our ability to maintain licenses required in connection with commercial mortgage origination, sale and servicing operations; changes in federal tax law or policy; and our ability the manage the foregoing and other factors set forth in the Company’s public reports.
