First Quarter Earnings
For the first quarter of 2024, unaudited net income was $2.2 million, compared to $2.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, and $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in earnings compared to the first quarter of the previous year is primarily attributable to increased interest expense and decreased interest income on cash and due from banks.
The Bank continues to grow interest and fees on loans sequentially over the last four quarters from $11.2 million in the first quarter of 2023 to $12.7 million in the first quarter of 2024, representing a $1.5 million or 13.1% increase. However, the cost of funding has also increased sequentially from the historically low levels that existed prior to the Federal Reserve’s aggressive rate increase policy. Total interest expense has increased from $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2023 to $4.3 million in the first quarter of 2024, a $2.6 million or 156.3% increase.
Non-Interest Income and Expense
Total non-interest income was $0.9 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $0.3 million for the prior quarter, and $0.5 million for the same quarter last year. The fourth quarter of 2023 included a non-recurring $0.5 million pre-tax loss on the sale of $15.6 million in AFS securities. Variances between the quarters relate primarily to SBA loan sale premiums, mortgage broker fees, loan swap fees and loan prepayment fees.
Non-interest expense was $8.1 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $8.2 million in the prior quarter, and $8.0 million for the same quarter of the prior year. Expenses in the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2023 were elevated due to non-recurring expenses related to technology upgrades that were completed in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Loans and Asset Quality
Total loans were $950.8 million at March 31, 2024, an increase of $4.4 million or 0.5% from the prior quarter-end, and an increase of $26.1 million or 2.8% from March 31, 2023.
The Bank’s ACL was $11.6 million at March 31, 2024, with a resulting coverage ratio of 1.23%, as compared to $11.5 million or 1.24% at March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2024, non-accrual loans totaled $0.6 million, resulting in no change from previous quarter-end, and a reduction of $2.3 million from March 31, 2023. Credit quality remains strong.
Deposits & Borrowings
Total deposits were $1.05 billion at March 31, 2024, representing no change from December 31, 2023, and a decrease of $50.2 million or 4.6% since March 31, 2023.
Non-interest-bearing demand deposits totaled $415.6 million at March 31, 2024, a decrease of $27.4 million or 6.2% from the prior quarter-end, and a decrease of $45.0 million or 9.8% from March 31, 2023. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits represent 39.6% of total deposits at March 31, 2024, a decrease from 42.2% at the prior quarter-end, and 41.9% at March 31, 2023.
Interest-bearing demand deposits totaled $134.5 million at March 31, 2024, an increase of $10.8 million or 8.8% from the prior quarter-end, and a decrease of $3.9 million or 2.8% from March 31, 2023. Demand deposits represent 52.4% of total deposits at March 31, 2024, a decrease from 54.0% at the prior quarter-end, and 54.5% at March 31, 2023.
Other interest-bearing deposits totaled $499.2 million at March 31, 2024, an increase of $16.3 million or 3.4% from the prior quarter-end, and a decrease of $1.4 million or 0.3% from March 31, 2023.
Although the Bank continues to maintain core deposit relationships, consistent with industry trends in this higher-rate environment, certain depositors are reinvesting their excess cash in non-FDIC insured, external investment products resulting in a deposit mix shift from non-interest-bearing to interest-bearing.
The weighted average cost of deposits for the first quarter of 2024 was 1.09%, compared to 1.00% for the previous quarter, and 0.45% for the same quarter last year. The increase in the cost of deposits this quarter is partially due to the Bank acquiring $29.0 million in short-term brokered CD’s at rates higher than our average cost of deposits, but at a favorable spread to FHLB borrowings.
The Bank increased its FHLB advances to $85.0 million at March 31, 2024 from $75.0 million at December 31, 2023. At March 31, 2024, the Bank had $75.0 million of short-term, 30 days or less, FHLB advances and another $10.0 million of long-term FHLB advances outstanding. At March 31, 2024, the Company also had $10.0 million drawn on a correspondent bank line of credit at a favorable rate of 3.85% and $18.0 million of subordinated notes outstanding at a favorable rate of 3.75%. The weighted average cost on all borrowings for the quarter was 5.06%, resulting in $1.5 million in interest expense. The $113.0 million of total borrowings at March 31, 2024, was a $10.0 million increase from the level carried at the end of the fourth quarter of 2023.
The Bank’s liquidity position remained strong with a primary liquidity ratio (cash and cash equivalents, deposits held in other banks and unpledged AFS securities as a percentage of total assets) of 16.7% at March 31, 2024, compared to 16.4% at December 31, 2023.
As of March 31, 2024, the Bank had available and unused, secured borrowing capacity with the FHLB of San Francisco of $199.2 million, and had available and unused, secured borrowing capacity with the Federal Reserve of $42.0 million. In addition, the Bank also had $145.0 million of unused fed funds lines of credit with correspondent banks at March 31, 2024. Available contingent funding sources of $386.2 million remain robust.
Overall uninsured deposits, excluding public agency deposits that are collateralized, are conservatively estimated to be $373.1 million, or 35.5% of total deposit balances as of March 31, 2024. The actual level of uninsured deposits is lower than the percentage stated above, as our knowledgeable bankers have helped clients obtain more than $250,000 of FDIC insurance with vesting structures such as joint accounts, payable upon death accounts, and revocable trust accounts with multiple beneficiaries. In addition, the Bank can offer up to $50 million of FDIC pass-through insurance to clients via the IntraFi network Insured Cash Sweep (“ICS”) or Certificate of Deposit Account Registry System (“CDARS”) products.
Shareholders’ Equity
Total shareholders’ equity was $101.7 million at March 31, 2024, a $1.1 million or 1.0% increase since December 31, 2023, and an increase of $10.1 million or 11.1% over the same period of the prior year. The tax adjusted unrealized loss on securities, which is a component of equity (accumulated other comprehensive income or “AOCI”), increased $0.9 million or 4.5% from $20.9 million at the end of 2023 to $21.9 million at the end of the first quarter of 2024. The Bank fully expects to receive all principal when the investments mature.
