Cautionary Note Regarding Forward‑Looking Statements

 

This Report on Form 10‑Q contains various statements that may constitute forward‑looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Rule 175 promulgated thereunder, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Rule 3b‑6 promulgated thereunder and are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward‑looking. These forward‑looking statements often can be, but are not always, identified by the use of words such as “assume,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “anticipate,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “could,” “goal,” “potential” and similar expressions. We base these forward‑looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events, our assumptions regarding these events and our knowledge of facts at the time the statements are made. These statements include statements relating to our projected growth, anticipated future financial performance, and management’s long‑term performance goals, as well as statements relating to the anticipated effects on results of operations and financial condition.

 

These forward‑looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties that may be outside our control and our actual results could differ materially from our projected results. In addition, our past results of operations do not necessarily indicate our future results. The forward‑looking statements could be affected by many factors, including but not limited to:

 

·

current and future economic and market conditions in the United States generally or in the communities we serve, including the effects of declines in property values, high unemployment rates and overall slowdowns in economic growth should these events occur;

·

effects of and changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including the interest rate policies of the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve Board;

·

changes in inflation, interest rates, and market liquidity which may impact interest margins and impact funding sources;

·

volatility in credit and equity markets and its effect on the global economy;

·

changes in the competitive environment among financial or bank holding companies and other financial service providers;

·

changes in consumer and business spending and saving habits and the related effect on our ability to increase assets and to attract deposits;

·

our ability to develop and promote customer acceptance of new products and services in a timely manner;

·

risks associated with concentrations in real estate related loans;

·

an imbalance of supply and demand or deterioration in values of California commercial real estate;

·

a prolonged slowdown in construction activity;

·

other than temporary impairment charges to our securities portfolio;

·

changes in the level of nonperforming assets and charge offs and other credit quality measures, and their impact on the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for loan losses and the Company’s provision for loan losses;

·

our ability to raise capital or incur debt on reasonable terms;

·

regulatory limits on Heritage Bank of Commerce’s ability to pay dividends to the Company;

Table of Contents

·

changes in our capital management policies, including those regarding business combinations, dividends, and share repurchases, among others;

·

operational issues stemming from, and/or capital spending necessitated by, the potential need to adapt to industry changes in information technology systems, on which we are highly dependent;

·

our ability to keep pace with technological changes, including our ability to identify and address cyber-security risks such as data security breaches, “denial of service” attacks, “hacking” and identity theft;

·

inability of our framework to manage risks associated with our business, including operational risk and credit risk;

·

risks of loss of funding of Small Business Administration or SBA loan programs, or changes in those programs;

·

effect and uncertain impact on the Company of the enactment of the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and the rules and regulations promulgated by supervisory and oversight agencies implementing the new legislation;

·

effect of lower corporate tax rates if enacted on the Company’s deferred tax assets, equity, and income tax provision;

·

significant changes in applicable laws and regulations, including those concerning taxes, banking and securities;

·

effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and other accounting standard setters;

·

costs and effects of legal and regulatory developments, including resolution of legal proceedings or regulatory or other governmental inquiries, and the results of regulatory examinations or reviews;

·

availability of and competition for acquisition opportunities;

·

risks associated with merger and acquisition integration;

·

risks resulting from domestic terrorism;

·

risks of natural disasters and other events beyond our control; and

·

our success in managing the risks involved in the foregoing factors.

We are not able to predict all the factors that may affect future results. You should not place undue reliance on any forward looking statement, which speaks only as of the date of this Report on Form 10‑Q. Except as required by applicable laws or regulations, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

HERITAGE COMMERCE CORP

 

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2017

 

(Unaudited)

 

1) Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Heritage Commerce Corp (the “Company” or “HCC”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Heritage Bank of Commerce (“HBC”), have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for annual financial statements are not included herein. The interim statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes that were included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

The Company acquired Focus Business Bank (“Focus”) on August 20, 2015. Focus was merged with HBC, with HBC as the surviving bank.

 

HBC is a commercial bank serving customers primarily located in Santa Clara, Alameda, Contra Costa, and San Benito counties of California. BVF/CSNK Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“BVF/CSNK”), the parent company of CSNK Working Capital Finance Corp. dba Bay View Funding (“Bay View Funding”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of HBC, and provides business-essential working capital factoring financing to various industries throughout the United States. No customer accounts for more than 10 percent of revenue for HBC or the Company. The Company reports its results for two segments: banking and factoring. The Company’s management uses segment results in its operating and strategic planning.

 

In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

 

The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any subsequent period or for the entire year ending December 31, 2017.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications of prior year balances have been made to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or net change in cash and cash equivalents.

 

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

 

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share Based Payment Accounting. The standard is intended to simplify several areas of accounting for share based compensation arrangements, including the income tax impact, classification on the statement of cash flows and forfeitures. All excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies (including tax benefits of dividends on share based payment awards) should be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. The tax effects of exercised or vested awards should be treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur. An entity also should recognize excess tax benefits regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the current period. Excess tax benefits should be classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity. An entity can make an entity wide accounting

policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest (current GAAP) or account for forfeitures when they occur. The threshold to qualify for equity classification permits withholding up to the maximum statutory tax rates in the applicable jurisdictions. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2017. The amount of the impact on the effective tax rate will be determined by the number of stock options exercised and the stock price of the Company when the stock options are exercised, and the amount of restricted stock awards vesting. The adoption of this guidance resulted in net income tax expense of $60,000 for the second quarter of 2017, and a reduction to income tax expense of ($112,000) for the first quarter of 2017, totaling a net reduction to income tax expense of ($52,000) for the first six months of 2017. In connection with the adoption, the Company has elected to estimate forfeitures each reporting period.

 

Newly Issued, but not yet Effective Accounting Standards

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which was an update to the guidance for accounting for revenue from contracts with customers. The guidance in this update affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (for example, insurance contracts or lease contracts). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides steps to follow to achieve the core principle. An entity should disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Qualitative and quantitative information is required about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The amendments in this update become effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017.  We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements. Our preliminary finding is that the new pronouncement will not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements as the majority of our business transactions will not be subject to this pronouncement.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU  No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities. The new guidance is intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments by requiring: equity investments (other than equity method or consolidation) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial assets (i.e. securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; eliminating the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for organizations that are not public business entities; eliminating the requirement for non-public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is to be required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; and requiring a reporting organization to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in fair value of a liability resulting from the change in the instrument-specific credit risk (also referred to as “own credit”) when the organization has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. The new guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements. Our preliminary finding is that the new pronouncement will not have a significant impact on our Statement of Operations as the majority of the Company's investment securities are classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities. The pronouncement will require some revision to our disclosures within the consolidated financial statements and we are currently evaluating the impact.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The standard requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for leases with lease terms greater than 12 months. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right of use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. When measuring assets and liabilities arising from a lease, a lessee (and a lessor) should include payments to be made in optional periods only if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the lease or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease. Similarly, optional payments to purchase the underlying asset should be included in the measurement of lease assets and lease liabilities only if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that purchase option. Reasonably certain is a high threshold that is consistent with and intended to be applied in the same way as the reasonably assured threshold in the previous leases

guidance. In addition, also consistent with the previous leases guidance, a lessee (and a lessor) should exclude most variable lease payments in measuring lease assets and lease liabilities, other than those that depend on an index or a rate or are in substance fixed payments. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight line basis over the lease term. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The standard is the final guidance on the new current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model. The amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate future credit loss estimates. As CECL encompasses all financial assets carried at amortized cost, the requirement that reserves be established based on an organization’s reasonable and supportable estimate of expected credit losses extends to held to maturity debt securities. The update amends the accounting for credit losses on available for sale securities, whereby credit losses will be presented as an allowance as opposed to a write down. In addition, CECL will modify the accounting for purchased loans with credit deterioration since origination, so that reserves are established at the date of acquisition for purchased loans. Lastly, the amendment requires enhanced disclosures on the significant estimates and judgments used to estimate credit losses, as well as on the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. These disclosures require organizations to present the currently required credit quality disclosures disaggregated by the year of origination or vintage. The guidance allows for a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative effect adjustment to the balance sheet upon adoption (charge to retained earnings instead of the income statement). The new guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. We have formed a committee that is assessing our data and system needs and are evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance. We expect to recognize a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective, but cannot yet determine the magnitude of any such one-time adjustment or the overall impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued accounting standards ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The provisions of the update eliminate the existing second step of the goodwill impairment test which provides for the allocation of reporting unit fair value among existing assets and liabilities, with the net remaining amount representing the implied fair value of goodwill. In replacement of the existing goodwill impairment rule, the update will provide that impairment should be recognized as the excess of any of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the fair value of the reporting unit. Under the provisions of this update, the amount of the impairment is limited to the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. For public business entities that are SEC filers, the amendments of the update will become effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Management does not expect the requirements of this update to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

 

2) Shareholders’ Equity and Earnings Per Share 

 

On September 12, 2016, the Company, entered into Exchange Agreements with Castle Creek Capital Partners IV, LP, Patriot Financial Partners, L.P. and Patriot Financial Partners Parallel, L.P. (collectively “Preferred Stockholders”) providing for the exchange of 21,004 shares of the Company’s Series C convertible perpetual preferred stock, no par value (“ Series C Preferred Stock”) for 5,601,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value. The exchange ratio was equal to the equivalent number of shares the Preferred Stockholders would have received upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock.

Earnings Per Share -- Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income, less dividends and discount accretion on preferred stock, by the weighted average common shares outstanding. The Series C Preferred Stock participated in the earnings of the Company prior to the exchange for common stock and, therefore, the shares issued on the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock were considered outstanding under the two class method of computing basic earnings per common share during periods of earnings. Diluted earnings per share reflect potential dilution from outstanding stock options using the treasury stock method. A reconciliation of these factors used in computing basic and diluted earnings per common share is as follows:

There were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. Government and its sponsored entities, in an amount greater than 10% of shareholders’ equity. At June 30, 2017, the Company held 482 securities (166 available-for-sale and 316 held‑to‑maturity), of which 257 had fair values below amortized cost. At June 30, 2017, there were $3,868,000 of municipal bonds held-to-maturity, and $417,000 of agency mortgage-backed securities held-to-maturity carried with an unrealized loss for 12 months or more. The total unrealized loss for securities 12 months or more was $212,000 at June 30, 2017. The unrealized losses were due to higher interest rates. The issuers are of high credit quality and all principal amounts are expected to be paid when securities mature. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date and/or market rates decline. The Company does not believe that it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell a security in an unrealized loss position prior to recovery in value. The Company does not consider these securities to be other than temporarily impaired at June 30, 2017.

Past due loans 30 days or greater totaled $4,647,000 and $7,989,000 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, of which $1,511,000 and $2,057,000 were on nonaccrual. At June 30, 2017, there were also $1,476,000 loans less than 30 days past due included in nonaccrual loans held-for-investment. At December 31, 2016, there were also $1,002,000 loans less than 30 days past due included in nonaccrual loans held-for-investment. Management’s classification of a loan as “nonaccrual” is an indication that there is reasonable doubt as to the full recovery of principal or interest on the loan. At that point, the Company stops accruing interest income, and reverses any uncollected interest that had been accrued as income. The Company begins recognizing interest income only as cash interest payments are received and it has been determined the collection of all outstanding principal is not in doubt. The loans may or may not be collateralized, and collection efforts are pursued.

 

Credit Quality Indicators

 

Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of customers are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. The Company’s loan portfolio is concentrated in commercial (primarily manufacturing, wholesale, and service) and real estate lending, with the remaining balance in consumer loans. While no specific industry concentration is considered significant, the Company’s lending operations are located in the Company’s market areas that are dependent on the technology and real estate industries and their supporting companies. Thus, the Company’s borrowers could be adversely impacted by a downturn in these sectors of the economy which could reduce the demand for loans and adversely impact the borrowers’ ability to repay their loans.

 

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. Nonclassified loans generally include those loans that are expected to be repaid in accordance with contractual loans terms. Classified loans are those loans that are assigned a substandard, substandard-nonaccrual, or doubtful risk rating using the following definitions:

 

Substandard.  Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well‑defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss  if the deficiencies are not corrected.

 

Substandard‑Nonaccrual.  Loans classified as substandard‑nonaccrual are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any, and it is probable that the Company will not receive payment of the full contractual principal and interest. Loans so classified have a well‑defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. In addition, the Company no longer accrues interest on the loan because of the underlying weaknesses.

 

Doubtful.  Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Table of Contents

 

Loss.  Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectable or of so little value that their continuance as assets is not warranted. This classification does not necessarily mean that a loan has no recovery or salvage value; but rather, there is much doubt about whether, how much, or when the recovery would occur. Loans classified as loss are immediately charged off against the allowance for loan losses. Therefore, there is no balance to report at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed in accordance with the Company’s underwriting policy.

 

The balance of troubled debt restructurings at June 30, 2017 was $121,000, which included $1,000 of nonaccrual loans and $120,000 of accruing loans. The balance of troubled debt restructurings at December 31, 2016 was $133,000, which included $2,000 of nonaccrual loans and $131,000 of accruing loans. Approximately $2,000 in specific reserves were established with respect to these loans as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had no additional amounts committed on any loan classified as a troubled debt restructuring.

 

There were no new loans modified as troubled debt restructurings during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

 

A loan is considered to be in payment default when it is 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms. There were no defaults on troubled debt restructurings, within twelve months following the modification, during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

 

A loan that is a troubled debt restructuring on nonaccrual status may return to accruing status after a period of at least six months of consecutive payments in accordance with the modified terms.

 

6) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill

 

At June 30, 2017, the carrying value of goodwill was $45,664,000, which included $13,044,000 of goodwill related to its acquisition of Bay View Funding and $32,620,000 from its acquisition of Focus.

 

Goodwill impairment exists when a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, which is determined through a qualitative assessment whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of equity of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value (“Step Zero”). If the qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the fair value of equity of a reporting unit is less than book value, then a quantitative two-step impairment test is required. Step 1 includes the determination of the carrying value of the Company’s single reporting unit, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, and estimating the fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company is required to perform a second step to the impairment test. Step 2 requires that the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill be compared to the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying

23


 

Table of Contents

amount of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

 

The Company completed its annual impairment analysis on the goodwill from the Bay View Funding and Focus acquisitions as of November 30, 2016 with the assistance of an independent valuation firm. Based on the Step Zero qualitative analysis performed, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its reported book value of equity at November 30, 2016.  As such, no impairment was indicated and no further testing was required.

 

Other Intangible Assets

 

The core deposit intangible asset originally acquired in the June 2007 acquisition of Diablo Valley Bank was $5,049,000. The core deposit intangible asset was amortized over its estimated useful life of 10 years, and was fully amortized at June 30, 2017. Accumulated amortization of the core deposit intangible asset was $4,854,000 at December 31, 2016.

 

The core deposit intangible asset acquired in the acquisition of Focus in August 2015 was $6,285,000. This asset is amortized over its estimated useful life of 10 years. Accumulated amortiztion of this intangible asset was $1,557,000 and $1,120,000 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

 

Other intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of Bay View Funding in November 2014 included: a below market value lease intangible asset of $109,000 (amortized over 3 years), customer relationship and brokered relationship intangible assets of $1,900,000, (amortized over the 10 year estimated useful life), and a non-compete agreement intangible asset of $250,000 (amortized over 3 years). Accumulated amortization of these intangible assets was $824,000 and $669,000 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Impairment testing of the intangible assets is performed at the individual asset level. Impairment exists if the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value at the date of the impairment test. For intangible assets, estimates of expected future cash flows (cash inflows less cash outflows) that are directly associated with an intangible asset are used to determine the fair value of that asset. Management makes certain estimates and assumptions in determining the expected future cash flows from core deposit and customer relationship intangibles including account attrition, expected lives, discount rates, interest rates, servicing costs and other factors. Significant changes in these estimates and assumptions could adversely impact the valuation of these intangible assets. If an impairment loss exists, the carrying amount of the intangible asset is adjusted to a new cost basis. The new cost basis is then amortized over the remaining useful life of the asset. Based on its assessment, management concluded that there was no impairment of intangible assets at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

7) Income Taxes

 

Some items of income and expense are recognized in different years for tax purposes than when applying generally accepted accounting principles, leading to timing differences between the Company’s actual current tax liability and the amount accrued for this liability based on book income. These temporary differences comprise the “deferred” portion of the Company’s tax expense or benefit, which is accumulated on the Company’s books as a deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability until such time as they reverse.

 

Under generally accepted accounting principles, a valuation allowance is required if it is “more likely than not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The determination of the realizability of the deferred tax assets is highly subjective and dependent upon judgment concerning management’s evaluation of both positive and negative evidence, including forecasts of future income, cumulative losses, applicable tax planning strategies, and assessments of current and future economic and business conditions.

 

The Company had net deferred tax assets of $22,577,000, and $25,058,000, at June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, respectively. After consideration of the matters in the preceding paragraph, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 will be fully realized in future years.

 

The following table reflects the carry amounts of the low income housing investments included in accrued interest receivable and other assets, and the future commitments included in accrued interest payable and other liabilities for the periods indicated:

For tax purposes, the Company had low income housing tax credits of $110,000 and $111,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively, and low income housing investment losses of $115,000 and $118,000, respectively.  For tax purposes, the Company had low income housing tax credits of $220,000 and $222,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively, and low income housing investment losses of $230,000 and $235,000, respectively.  The Company recognized low income housing investment expense as a component of income tax expense.

9) Fair Value

 

Accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

 

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data (for example, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, prepayment speeds, credit risks, and default rates).

 

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

 

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis

 

The fair values of securities available-for sale-are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).

 

26


 

Table of Contents

The fair value of interest‑only (“I/O”) strip receivable assets is based on a valuation model used by a third party. The Company is able to compare the valuation model inputs and results to widely available published industry data for reasonableness (Level 2 inputs).

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Non‑Recurring Basis

 

The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. The appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Table of Contents

Foreclosed assets are valued at the time the loan is foreclosed upon and the asset is transferred to foreclosed assets. The fair value is based primarily on third party appraisals, less costs to sell. The appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including the comparable sales and income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Impaired loans held‑for‑investment which are measured primarily for impairment using the fair value of the collateral were $3,279,000 at June 30, 2017.  In addition, these loans had a specific valuation allowance of $800,000 at June 30, 2017. Impaired loans held‑for‑investment totaling $1,216,000 at June 30, 2017, were carried at fair value as a result of the aforementioned partial charge‑offs and specific valuation allowances at period‑end. The remaining $2,063,000 of impaired loans were carried at cost at June 30, 2017, as the fair value of the collateral exceeded the cost basis of each respective loan. Partial charge‑offs and changes in specific valuation allowances during the first six months of 2017 on impaired loans held‑for‑investment carried at fair value at June 30, 2017 resulted in an additional provision for loan losses of $766,000.

 

At June 30, 2017, foreclosed assets had a carrying amount of $183,000, with no valuation allowance.

The Company obtains third party appraisals on its impaired loans held-for-investment and foreclosed assets to determine fair value. Generally, the third party appraisals apply the “market approach,” which is a valuation technique that uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable (that is, similar) assets, liabilities, or a group of assets and liabilities, such as a business. Adjustments are then made based on the type of property, age of appraisal, current status of property and other related factors to estimate the current value of collateral.

The methods and assumptions, not previously discussed, used to estimate the fair value are described as follows:

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The carrying amounts of cash on hand, noninterest and interest-bearing due from bank accounts, and Fed funds sold approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.

 

Loans

 

The fair value of loans held‑for‑sale is estimated based upon binding contracts and quotes from third parties resulting in a Level 2 classification.

 

30


 

Table of Contents

Fair values of loans, excluding loans held-for-sale, are estimated as follows: For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values resulting in a Level 3 classification. Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality resulting in a Level 3 classification. Impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value as described previously. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.

 

FHLB and FRB Stock

 

It was not practical to determine the fair value of FHLB and FRB stock due to restrictions placed on their transferability.

 

Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable

 

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value resulting in a Level 2 or Level 3 classification.

 

Deposits

 

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amount) resulting in a Level 2 classification. The carrying amounts of variable rate, fixed‑term money market accounts approximate their fair values at the reporting date resulting in a Level 2 classification. The carrying amounts of variable rate, certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date resulting in a Level 2 classification. Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flows calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits resulting in a Level 2 classification.

 

Subordinated Debt

The fair values of the subordinated debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 3 classification.

Off‑balance Sheet Instruments

 

Fair values for off‑balance sheet, credit‑related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair value of commitments is not material.

 

Limitations

 

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information about the financial instruments. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

 

10) Equity Plan

 

The Company maintained an Amended and Restated 2004 Equity Plan (the “2004 Plan”) for directors, officers, and key employees. The 2004 Plan was terminated on May 23, 2013. On May 23, 2013, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”). On May 25, 2017, the shareholders approved an amendment to the Heritage Commerce Corp 2013 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares available from 1,750,000 to 3,000,000 shares. The equity plans provide for the grant of incentive and nonqualified stock options and restricted stock. The equity plans provide that the option price for both incentive and nonqualified stock options will be determined by the Board of Directors at no less than the fair value at the date of grant. Options granted vest on a schedule determined by the Board of Directors at the time of grant. Generally options vest over four years. All options expire no later than ten

years from the date of grant. Restricted stock is subject to time vesting. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company granted 247,000 shares nonqualified stock options and 82,770 shares of restricted stock. There were 1,531,058 shares available for the issuance of equity awards under the 2013 Plan as of June 30, 2017.

11) Subordinated Debt

On May 26, 2017, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of $40,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes (“Subordinated Debt”) due June 1, 2027. The Subordinated Debt initially bears a fixed interest rate of 5.25% per year, payable semi-annually. Commencing on June 1, 2022, the interest rate on the Subordinated Debt resets quarterly to the three-month LIBOR rate plus a spread of 336.5 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears.  Interest on the Subordinated Debt is payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year through June 1, 2022 and quarterly thereafter on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year through the maturity date or early redemption date. The first interest payment will be made on December 1, 2017.  The Company at its option may redeem the Subordinated Debt, in whole or in part, on any interest payment date on or after June 1, 2022 without a premium. The issuance costs of the Subordinated Debt totaled $898,000, which is being amortized through the Subordinated Debt maturity date.  The Subordinated Debt, net of the unamortized issuance costs, totaled $39,119,000 at June 30, 2017, and qualifies as Tier 2 capital for the Company under the guidelines established by the Federal Reserve Bank.

12) Capital Requirements

The Company and its subsidiary bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory—and possibly additional discretionary—actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements and operations. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and HBC must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. There are no conditions or events since June 30, 2017, that management believes have changed the categorization of the Company or HBC as “well-capitalized.”

 

As of January 1, 2015, HCC and HBC along with other community banking organizations became subject to new capital requirements and certain provisions of the new rules will be phased in from 2015 through 2019. The Federal Banking regulators approved the new rules to implement the revised capital adequacy standards of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, commonly called Basel III, and address relevant provisions of The Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, as amended. The Company’s consolidated capital ratios and the Bank’s capital ratios exceeded the regulatory guidelines for a well-capitalized financial institution under the Basel III regulatory requirements at June 30, 2017.

 

Quantitative measures established by regulation to help ensure capital adequacy require the Company and HBC to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the tables below) of total, Tier 1 capital, and common equity Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined). Management believes that, as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company and HBC met all capital adequacy guidelines to which they were subject.

 

The Company’s consolidated capital amounts and ratios are presented in the following table, together with capital adequacy requirements, under the Basel III regulatory requirements as of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016.

The Subordinated Debt, net of unamortized issuance costs, totaled $39,119,000 at June 30, 2017, and qualifies as Tier 2 capital for the Company under the guidelines established by the Federal Reserve Bank.  The issuance of Subordinated Debt resulted in an increase in the Company’s total risk‑based capital ratio at June 30, 2017, compared to December 31, 2016, but had no effect on the other regulatory capital ratios of the Company.  All of HBC’s regulatory capital ratios increased at June 30, 2017, compared to December 31, 2016, primarily due to the downstream of $20,000,000 of the proceeds of the Subordinated Debt from the Company to HBC, partially offset by distributed dividends totaling $8,000,000 from HBC to the Company during the first six months of 2017.

HCC is dependent upon dividends from HBC. Under California General Corporation Law, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available. The California Financial Code provides that a state licensed bank may not make a cash distribution to its shareholders in excess of the lesser of the following: (i) the bank’s retained earnings; or (ii) the bank’s net income for its last three fiscal years, less the amount of any distributions made by the bank to its shareholders during such period. However, a bank, with the prior approval of the Commissioner of the California Department of Business Oversight—Division of Financial Institutions (“DBO”) may make a distribution to its shareholders of an amount not to exceed the greater of (i) a bank’s retained earnings; (ii) its net income for its last fiscal year; or (iii) its net income for the current fiscal year. Also with the prior approval of the Commissioner of the DBO and the shareholders of the bank, the bank may make a distribution to its shareholders, as a reduction in capital of the bank. In the event that the Commissioner determines that the shareholders’ equity of a bank is inadequate or that the making of a distribution by a bank would be unsafe or unsound, the Commissioner may order a bank to refrain from making such a proposed distribution. As of June 30, 2017, HBC would not be required to obtain regulatory approval, and the amount available for cash dividends is $25,260,000. Similar restrictions applied to the amount and sum of loan advances and other transfers of funds from HBC to the parent company. During each of the second and first quarters of 2017, HBC distributed dividends of $4,000,000, for a total of $8,000,000 for the first six months of 2017.

 

13) Loss Contingencies

 

The Company’s policy is to accrue for legal costs associated with both asserted and unasserted claims when it is probable that such costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. A number of parties filed complaints in the Superior Court of California for the County of Santa Clara asserting certain claims against the Company arising from the transfer of funds. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company reached settlements with each of the parties in amounts not material to the Company.

15) Business Segment Information

 

The following presents the Company’s operating segments. The Company operates through two business segments: Banking segment and Factoring segment. Transactions between segments consist primarily of borrowed funds. Intersegment interest expense is allocated to the Factoring segment based on the Company’s prime rate and funding costs. The provision for loan loss is allocated based on the segment’s allowance for loan loss determination which considers the effects of charge-offs. Noninterest income and expense directly attributable to a segment are assigned to it. Taxes are paid on a consolidated basis and allocated for segment purposes. The Factoring segment includes only factoring originated by Bay View Funding.

ITEM 2—MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion provides information about the results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, and capital resources of Heritage Commerce Corp (the “Company” or “HCC”), its wholly‑owned subsidiary, Heritage Bank of Commerce (“HBC”), and HBC’s wholly‑owned subsidiary, CSNK Working Capital Finance Corp., a California Corporation, dba Bay View Funding (“Bay View Funding”). This information is intended to facilitate the understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to our financial condition and the results of operations. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes presented elsewhere in this report. Unless we state otherwise or the context indicates otherwise, references to the “Company,” “Heritage,” “we,” “us,” and “our,” in this Report on Form 10‑Q refer to Heritage Commerce Corp and its subsidiaries.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Critical accounting policies are discussed in our Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2016. There are no changes to these policies as of June 30, 2017, except for accounting for share-based compensation arrangements.

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance intended to simplify several areas of accounting for share-based compensation programs, including the income tax impact, classification on the statement of cash flows, and forfeitures.  The Company adopted the new guidance on share-based compensation during the first quarter of 2017.  All excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies (including tax benefits of dividends on share‑based payment awards) are recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. The tax effects of exercised or vested awards are treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur.  The adoption of this guidance resulted in additional income tax expense of $60,000 for the second quarter of 2017, and a reduction to income tax expense of ($112,000) for the first quarter of 2017, totaling a net reduction to income tax expense of ($52,000) for the first six months of 2017.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 

This summary is intended to identify the most important matters on which management focuses when it evaluates the financial condition and performance of the Company. When evaluating financial condition and performance, management looks at certain key metrics and measures. The Company’s evaluation includes comparisons with peer group financial institutions and its own performance objectives established in the internal planning process.

 

The primary activity of the Company is commercial banking. The Company’s operations are located entirely in the southern and eastern regions of the general San Francisco Bay Area of California in the counties of Santa Clara, Alameda, Contra Costa, and San Benito. The largest city in this area is San Jose and the Company’s market includes the headquarters of a number of technology based companies in the region known commonly as Silicon Valley. The Company’s customers are primarily closely held businesses and professionals.

 

Performance Overview

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, net income was $7.4 million, or $0.19 per average diluted common share, compared to $7.3 million, or $0.19 per average diluted common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The Company’s annualized return on average tangible assets was 1.14% and annualized return on average tangible equity was 14.00% for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to 1.28% and 14.68%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, net income was $14.0 million, or $0.36 per average diluted common share, compared to $13.4 million, or $0.35 per average diluted common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Company’s annualized return on average tangible assets was 1.10% and annualized return on average tangible equity was 13.41% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 1.17% and 13.66%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Series C Preferred Stock

On September 12, 2016, the Company entered into Exchange Agreements with Castle Creek Capital Partners IV, LP, Patriot Financial Partners, L.P. and Patriot Financial Partners Parallel, L.P. (collectively “Preferred Stockholders”) providing for the exchange of 21,004 shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock for 5,601,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The exchange ratio was equal to the equivalent number of shares the Preferred Stockholders would have received upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock. During the fourth quarter of 2016, Castle Creek Capital Partners IV, LP, Patriot Financial Partners, L.P. and Patriot Financial Partners Parallel, L.P. sold all of their shares of common stock.  The exchange of the Series C Preferred Stock for common stock resulted in an increase in the Company’s common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, but had no effect on HBC’s common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio or other regulatory capital ratios of the Company or HBC.

Subordinated Debt

On May 26, 2017, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of $40.0 million aggregate principal amount of its fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes (“Subordinated Debt”) due June 1, 2027. The Subordinated Debt initially bears a fixed interest rate of 5.25% per year, payable semi-annually. Commencing on June 1, 2022, the interest rate on the Subordinated Debt resets quarterly to the three-month LIBOR rate plus a spread of 336.5 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears.  Interest on the Subordinated Debt is payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year through June 1, 2022 and quarterly thereafter on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year through the maturity date or early redemption date. The first interest payment will be made on December 1, 2017.  The Company at its option may redeem the Subordinated Debt, in whole or in part, on any interest payment date on or after June 1, 2022 without a premium.

The Subordinated Debt, net of unamortized issuance costs, totaled $39.1 million at June 30, 2017, and qualifies as Tier 2 capital for the Company under the guidelines established by the Federal Reserve Bank.  The issuance of Subordinated Debt resulted in an increase in the Company’s total risk‑based capital ratio at June 30, 2017, compared to December 31, 2016, but had no effect on the other regulatory capital ratios of the Company.  All of HBC’s regulatory capital ratios increased at June 30, 2017, compared to December 31, 2016, primarily due to the downstream of $20.0 million of the proceeds of the Subordinated Debt from the Company to HBC, partially offset by distributed dividends totaling $8.0 million from HBC to the Company during the first six months of 2017.

Second Quarter 2017 Highlights

 

The following are important factors that impacted the Company’s results of operations:

 

·

Net interest income increased 10% to $24.9 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared to $22.7 million for the second quarter of 2016. For the first six months of 2017, net interest income increased 8% to $48.8 million, compared to $45.0 million for the first six months of 2016.  Net interest income increased for the second quarter and first six months of 2017, compared to the respective periods in 2016, primarily due to the impact of loan growth, and an increase in the average balance of investment securities.

Table of Contents

·

For the second quarter of 2017, the fully tax equivalent (“FTE”) net interest margin contracted 20 basis points to 4.07% from 4.27% for the second quarter of 2016. The contraction was primarily due to the issuance of the Subordinated Debt and the related investment in lower yield excess funds at the Federal Reserve Bank. This was partially offset by higher average balances of loans and securities, and the impact of increases in the prime rate on loan yields and overnight funds.

 

·

For the first six months of 2017, the net interest margin contracted 18 basis points to 4.06%, compared to 4.24% for the first six months of 2016. The contraction was primarily the issuance of the Subordinated Debt, the related investment in lower yield excess funds at the Federal Reserve Bank, and a decrease in the accretion of the loan purchase discount into loan interest income from the Focus Business Bank (“Focus”) acquisition. This was partially offset by an increase in the average balances of loans and securities, and the impact of increases in the prime rate on loan yields and overnight funds.

 

·

The impact of the Subordinated Debt and the related investment in excess funds at the Federal Reserve Bank resulted in a five basis points reduction to the net interest margin for the second quarter of 2017, and a three basis points reduction to the net interest margin for the first six months of 2017.

 

·

The yield on the loan portfolio increased to 5.64% for the second quarter of 2017, compared to 5.60% for the second quarter of 2016. The yield on the Company’s legacy loan portfolio (excluding the purchased residential loans, purchased CRE loans, factored receivables portfolio, and accretion of the loan purchase discount from the Focus transaction) increased 33 basis points for the second quarter of 2017, compared to the second quarter of 2016.   

 

·

The yield on the loan portfolio decreased to 5.59% for the first six months of 2017, compared to 5.60% for the first six months of 2016. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of the lower yielding purchased residential mortgage loans and purchased CRE loans, a lower yield on the factored receivables portfolio, and a decrease in the accretion of the loan purchase discount into loan interest income from the Focus transaction. This was partially offset by the impact of increases in the prime rate.  The yield on the Company’s legacy loan portfolio (excluding the purchased residential loans, purchased CRE loans, factored receivables portfolio, and accretion of the loan purchase discount from the Focus transaction) increased 28 basis points for the first six months of 2017, compared to the first six months of 2016.

 

·

The accretion of the loan purchase discount into loan interest income from the Focus transaction was $257,000 for the second quarter of 2017, compared to $276,000 for the second quarter of 2016. The accretion of the loan purchase discount into loan interest income from the Focus transaction was $470,000 for the first six months of 2017, and $794,000 for the first six months of 2016.  The total purchase discount on non‑impaired loans from the Focus loan portfolio was $4.6 million as of August 20, 2015 (the “acquisition date”), of which $3.4 million has been accreted into loan interest income from the acquisition date through June 30, 2017.

 

·

There was a ($46,000) credit to the provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2017, compared to a $351,000  provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, there was a $275,000 provision for loan losses, compared to a $752,000 credit provision for loan losses for the first six months of 2016.

 

·

Noninterest income was $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared to $3.7 million for the second quarter of 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, noninterest income was $4.6 million, compared to $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in noninterest income for the second quarter of 2017 and the first six months of 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016, was primarily due to a $1.0 million gain on proceeds from company owned life insurance and gains on sales of investment securities in 2016. 

·

Total noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2017 was $15.3 million, compared to $14.4 million for the second quarter of 2016. Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $30.6 million, compared to $29.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in noninterest expense in the second quarter and first six months of 2017, compared to the respective periods in 2016, was primarily due higher salaries and employee benefits as a result of annual salary increases.

Deposits

 

The composition and cost of the Company’s deposit base are important in analyzing the Company’s net interest margin and balance sheet liquidity characteristics. Except for brokered time deposits, the Company’s depositors are generally located in its primary market area. Depending on loan demand and other funding requirements, the Company also obtains deposits from wholesale sources including deposit brokers. HBC is a member of the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) program. The CDARS program allows customers with deposits in excess of FDIC insured limits to obtain coverage on time deposits through a network of banks within the CDARS program. Deposits gathered through this program are considered brokered deposits under regulatory guidelines. The Company has a policy to monitor all deposits that may be sensitive to interest rate changes to help assure that liquidity risk does not become excessive due to concentrations.

 

Total deposits increased $300.9 million, or 15%, to $2.37 billion at June 30, 2017, compared to $2.07 billion at June 30, 2016, and increased $112.6 million, or 5%, from $2.26 billion at December 31, 2016. The Company had no brokered deposits at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, compared to $6.1 million at June 30, 2016. Deposits from title insurance companies, escrow accounts, and real estate exchange facilitators were $51.6 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $34.2 million at June 30, 2016, and $63.9 million at December 31, 2016. Certificates of deposit from the State of California totaled $65.1 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $85.1 million at December 31, 2016, and $98.0 million at June 30, 2016.

 

Liquidity

 

Our liquidity position refers to our ability to maintain cash flows sufficient to fund operations and to meet obligations and other commitments in a timely fashion. At June 30, 2017, we had $266.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $519.8 million in available borrowing capacity from various sources including the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRB”), Federal funds facilities with several financial institutions, and line of credit with a correspondent bank. The Company also had $616.5 million at fair value in unpledged securities available at June 30, 2017. Our loan to deposit ratio was 65.96% at June 30, 2017, compared to 70.60% at June 30, 2016, and 66.42% at December 31, 2016.

 

Lending

 

Our lending business originates principally through our branch offices located in our primary markets. In addition, Bay View Funding provides factoring financing throughout the United States. Total loans, excluding loans‑held‑for sale, increased $102.2 million, or 7%, to $1.57 billion at June 30, 2017, compared to $1.46 billion at June 30, 2016, which included an increase of $57.8 million, or 4%, in the Company’s legacy loan portfolio, $37.9 million of purchased CRE loans, and an increase of $15.9 million of purchased residential mortgage loans, partially offset by a decrease of $9.4 million in factored receivables portfolio. Loans increased $63.7 million, or 4%, to $1.57 billion at June 30, 2017, compared to $1.50 billion at December 31, 2016. The loan portfolio remains well‑diversified with commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans accounting for 39% of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2017, which included $42.4 million of

factored receivables. CRE loans accounted for 47% of the total loan portfolio, of which 42% were occupied by businesses that own them. Consumer and home equity loans accounted for 6% of total loans, land and construction loans accounted for 5% of total loans, and residential mortgage loans accounted for the remaining 3% of total loans at June 30, 2017.

 

Net Interest Income

 

The management of interest income and expense is fundamental to the performance of the Company. Net interest income, the difference between interest income and interest expense, is the largest component of the Company’s total revenue. Management closely monitors both total net interest income and the net interest margin (net interest income divided by average earning assets). Net interest income increased 10% to $24.9 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared to $22.7 million for the second quarter of 2016. For the first six months of 2017, net interest income increased 8% to $48.8 million, compared to $45.0 million for the first six months of 2016.  Net interest income increased for the second quarter and first six months of 2017, compared to the respective periods in 2016, primarily due to the impact of loan growth, and an increase in the average balance of investment securities.

 

The Company through its asset and liability policies and practices seeks to maximize net interest income without exposing the Company to an excessive level of interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is managed by monitoring the pricing, maturity and repricing options of all classes of interest‑bearing assets and liabilities. This is discussed in more detail under “Liquidity and Asset/Liability Management.” In addition, we believe there are measures and initiatives we can take to improve the net interest margin, including increasing loan rates, adding floors on floating rate loans, reducing nonperforming assets, managing deposit interest rates, and reducing higher cost deposits.

 

The net interest margin is also adversely impacted by the reversal of interest on nonaccrual loans and the reinvestment of loan payoffs into lower yielding investment securities and other short‑term investments.

 

Management of Credit Risk

 

We continue to identify, quantify, and manage our problem loans. Early identification of problem loans and potential future losses helps enable us to resolve credit issues with potentially less risk and ultimate losses. We maintain an allowance for loan losses in an amount that we believe is adequate to absorb probable incurred losses in the portfolio. While we strive to carefully manage and monitor credit quality and to identify loans that may be deteriorating, circumstances can change at any time for loans included in the portfolio that may result in future losses, that as of the date of the financial statements have not yet been identified as potential problem loans. Through established credit practices, we adjust the allowance for loan losses accordingly. However, because future events are uncertain, there may be loans that will deteriorate, some of which could occur in an accelerated time‑frame. As a result, future additions to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary. Because the loan portfolio contains a number of commercial loans, commercial real estate, construction and land development loans with relatively large balances, deterioration in the credit quality of one or more of these loans may require a significant increase to the allowance for loan losses. Future additions to the allowance may also be required based on changes in the financial condition of borrowers. Additionally, Federal and state banking regulators, as an integral part of their supervisory function, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. These regulatory agencies may require us to recognize further loan loss provisions or charge‑offs based upon their judgments, which may be different from ours. Any increase in the allowance for loan losses would have an adverse effect, which may be material, on our financial condition and results of operation.

 

Further discussion of the management of credit risk appears under “Provision for Loan Losses” and “Allowance for Loan Losses.”

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on measurement of credit losses on financial instruments, which is the final guidance on the new current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model.  The new guidance will replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate future credit loss estimates.  Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting CECL, which becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2020.  The effect of the adoption of CECL is currently unknown and could result in an increase to the allowance for loan losses and a charge to equity.  Further discussion of the adoption of CECL appears in Note 1 – Basis of Presentation – Newly Issued, but not yet Effective Accounting Standards in the financial statements in this Form 10-Q.

Noninterest Income

 

While net interest income remains the largest single component of total revenues, noninterest income is an important component. A portion of the Company’s noninterest income is associated with its SBA lending activity, consisting of gains on the sale of loans sold in the secondary market and servicing income from loans sold with servicing retained. Other sources of noninterest income include loan servicing fees, service charges and fees, cash surrender value from company owned life insurance policies, and gains on the sale of securities.

 

Noninterest Expense

 

Management considers the control of operating expenses to be a critical element of the Company’s performance. Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2017 was $15.3 million, compared to $14.4 million for the second quarter of 2016. Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $30.6 million, compared to $29.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in noninterest expense in the second quarter and first six months of 2017, compared to the respective periods in 2016, was primarily due higher salaries and employee benefits as a result of annual salary increases.

 

Capital Management

 

As part of its asset and liability management process, the Company continually assesses its capital position to take into consideration growth, expected earnings, risk profile and potential corporate activities that it may choose to pursue.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The Company earns income from two primary sources. The first is net interest income, which is interest income generated by earning assets less interest expense on interest‑bearing liabilities. The second is noninterest income, which primarily consists of gains on the sale of loans, loan servicing fees, customer service charges and fees, the increase in cash surrender value of life insurance, and gains on the sale of securities. The majority of the Company’s noninterest expenses are operating costs that relate to providing a full range of banking and lending services to our customers.

 

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

 

The level of net interest income depends on several factors in combination, including yields on earning assets, the cost of interest‑bearing liabilities, the relative volumes of earning assets and interest‑bearing liabilities, and the mix of products which comprise the Company’s earning assets, deposits, and other interest‑bearing liabilities. To maintain its net interest margin the Company must manage the relationship between interest earned and paid.

 

The following Distribution, Rate and Yield table presents the average amounts outstanding for the major categories of the Company’s balance sheet, the average interest rates earned or paid thereon, and the resulting net interest margin on average interest earning assets for the periods indicated. Average balances are based on daily averages.

The Company’s net interest margin (FTE), expressed as a percentage of average earning assets, contracted 20 basis points to 4.07% for the second quarter of 2017, from 4.27% for the second quarter of 2016. The contraction was primarily due to the issuance of the Subordinated Debt and the related investment in lower yield excess funds at the Federal Reserve Bank. This was partially offset by higher average balances of loans and securities, and the impact of increases in the prime rate on loan yields and overnight funds. For the first six months of 2017, the net interest margin contracted 18 basis points to 4.06%, compared to 4.24% for the first six months of 2016. The contraction was primarily due to a higher average balance of lower yielding excess funds at the Federal Reserve Bank, the issuance of the Subordinated Debt, and a decrease in the accretion of the loan purchase discount into loan interest income from the Focus acquisition. This was partially offset by an increase in the average balances of loans and securities, and the impact of increases in the prime rate on loan yields and overnight funds. The impact of the Subordinated Debt and the related investment in excess funds at the Federal Reserve Bank resulted in a five basis points reduction to the net interest margin for the second quarter of 2017, and a three basis points reduction to the net interest margin for the first six months of 2017.

 

The yield on the loan portfolio increased to 5.64% for the second quarter of 2017, compared to 5.60% for the second quarter of 2016.  The yield on the Company’s legacy loan portfolio (excluding the purchased residential loans, purchased CRE loans, factored receivables portfolio, and accretion of the loan purchase discount from the Focus transaction) increased 33 basis points for the second quarter of 2017, compared to the second quarter of 2016.  The yield on the loan portfolio decreased to 5.59% for the first six months of 2017, compared to 5.60% for the first six months of 2016. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of the lower yielding purchased residential mortgage loans and purchased CRE loans, a lower yield on the factored receivables portfolio, and a decrease in the accretion of the loan purchase discount into loan interest income from the Focus transaction. This was partially offset by the impact of increases in the prime rate.  The yield on the Company’s legacy loan portfolio (excluding the purchased residential loans, purchased CRE loans, factored receivables portfolio, and accretion of the loan purchase discount from the Focus transaction) increased 28 basis points for the first six months of 2017, compared to the first six months of 2016.

 

Net interest income increased 10% to $24.9 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared to $22.7 million for the second quarter of 2016. Net interest income increased 8% to $48.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $45.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Net interest income increased for the second quarter and first six months of 2017, compared to the respective periods in 2016, primarily due to the impact of loan growth, and an increase in the average balance of investment securities.

 

Provision for Loan Losses

 

Credit risk is inherent in the business of making loans. The Company establishes an allowance for loan losses through charges to earnings, which are presented in the statements of income as the provision for loan losses. Specifically identifiable and quantifiable known losses are promptly charged off against the allowance. The provision for loan losses is determined by conducting a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for loan losses and charging the shortfall or excess, if any, to the current quarter’s expense. This has the effect of creating variability in the amount and frequency of charges to the Company’s earnings. The provision for loan losses and level of allowance for each period are dependent upon many factors, including loan growth, net charge‑offs, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, delinquencies, management’s assessment of the quality of the loan portfolio, the valuation of problem loans and the general economic conditions in the Company’s market area.

 

There was a ($46,000) credit to the provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2017, compared to a provision for loan losses of $351,000 for the second quarter of 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, there was a $275,000 provision for loan losses compared to a $752,000 provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Provisions for loan losses are charged to operations to bring the allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by the Company based on the factors discussed under “Allowance for Loan Losses”.

 

The allowance for loan losses totaled $19.4 million, or 1.24% of total loans at June 30, 2017, compared to $19.9 million, or 1.36% of total loans at June 30, 2016, and $19.1 million, or 1.27% of total loans at December 31, 2016. Net recoveries totaled $308,000 for the second quarter of 2017, compared to net recoveries of $112,000 for the second quarter of 2016, and net charge‑offs of $1.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2016. The allowance for loan losses to total nonperforming loans was 614.22% at June 30, 2017, compared to 456.90% at June 30, 2016, and 624.03% at December 31, 2016.

Noninterest income was $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared to $3.7 million for the second quarter of 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, noninterest income was $4.6 million compared to $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in noninterest income for the second quarter of 2017 and first six months of 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016, was primarily due to a $1.0 million gain on proceeds from company-owned life insurance in the second quarter of 2016, and gains on sales of investment securities of $347,000 and $527,000 in the second quarter of 2016 and first six months of 2016, respectively.  The decrease was partially offset by a $200,000 termination fee received from one customer of Bay View Funding, which was included in other noninterest income in the second quarter of 2017.

 

Historically, a portion of the Company’s noninterest income has been associated with its SBA lending activity, as gains on the sale of loans sold in the secondary market and servicing income from loans sold with servicing rights retained. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, SBA loan sales resulted in a $164,000 gain, compared to a $279,000 gain on sales of SBA loans for the three months ended June 30, 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, SBA loan sales resulted in a $488,000 gain, compared to a $584,000 gain on sale of SBA loans for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

 

The servicing assets that result from the sales of SBA loans with servicing retained are amortized over the expected term of the loans using a method approximating the interest method. Servicing income generally declines as the respective loans are repaid.

Total noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2017 was $15.3 million, compared to $14.4 million for the second quarter of 2016. Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $30.6 million, compared to $29.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in noninterest expense in the second quarter and first six months of 2017, compared to the respective periods in 2016, was primarily due higher salaries and employee benefits as a result of annual salary increases.  Full time equivalent employees were 269 at June 30, 2017, and 268 at June 30, 2016.

 

Income Tax Expense

 

The Company computes its provision for income taxes on a quarterly basis. The effective tax rate is determined by applying the Company’s statutory income tax rates to pre‑tax book income as adjusted for permanent differences between pre‑tax book income and actual taxable income. These permanent differences include, but are not limited to, increases in the cash surrender value of life insurance policies, interest on tax‑exempt securities, certain expenses that are not allowed as tax deductions, and tax credits.

 

The Company’s Federal and state income tax expense for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2017 was $4.6 million and $8.5 million, respectively. The income tax expense was $4.4 million and $8.1 million in the same periods in 2016. The following table shows the Company’s effective income tax rates for the periods indicated:

The difference in the effective tax rate compared to the combined Federal and state statutory tax rate of 42% is primarily the result of tax exempt securities, the Company’s investment in life insurance policies whose earnings are not subject to taxes, tax credits related to investments in low income housing limited partnerships, and Enterprise Zone hiring credits, and the tax benefit from the Company’s stock-based compensation plans.

In March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance intended to simplify several areas of accounting for share-based compensation programs, including the income tax impact, classification on the statement of cash flows, and forfeitures.  The Company adopted the new guidance on share-based compensation during the first quarter of 2017.  All excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies (including tax benefits of dividends on share‑based payment awards) are recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. The tax effects of exercised or vested awards are treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur.  The adoption of this guidance resulted in net income tax expense of $60,000 for the second quarter of 2017, and a reduction to income tax expense of ($112,000) for the first quarter of 2017, totaling a net reduction to income tax expense of ($52,000) for the first six months of 2017.

Some items of income and expense are recognized in different years for tax purposes than when applying generally accepted accounting principles leading to timing differences between the Company’s actual tax liability, and the amount accrued for this liability based on book income. These temporary differences comprise the “deferred” portion of

53


 

Table of Contents

the Company’s tax expense or benefit, which is accumulated on the Company’s books as a deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability until such time as they reverse.

Realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets is primarily dependent upon the Company generating sufficient future taxable income to obtain benefit from the reversal of net deductible temporary differences and the utilization of tax credit carryforwards and the net operating loss carryforwards for Federal and state income tax purposes. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable is subject to adjustment in future periods based on estimates of future taxable income. Under generally accepted accounting principles a valuation allowance is required to be recognized if it is “more likely than not” that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The determination of the realizability of the deferred tax assets is highly subjective and dependent upon judgment concerning management’s evaluation of both positive and negative evidence, including forecasts of future income, cumulative losses, applicable tax planning strategies, and assessments of current and future economic and business conditions.

 

The Company had net deferred tax assets of $22.6 million at June 30, 2017 and $25.1 million at December 31, 2016. After consideration of the matters in the preceding paragraph, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset at at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 will be fully realized in future years.

 

Adoption of reduced corporate tax rates as being discussed in the United States Congress could have a material adverse effect on our deferred tax assets. The Company is monitoring the tax rates discussion and its potential impact to our deferred tax assets, equity, and income tax provision.

 

Business Segment Information

 

The following presents the Company’s operating segments. Transactions between segments consist primarily of borrowed funds. Intersegment interest expense is allocated to the Factoring segment based on the Company’s prime rate and funding costs. The provision for loan loss is allocated based on the segment’s allowance for loan loss determination which considers the effects of charge‑offs. Noninterest income and expense directly attributable to a segment are assigned to it. Taxes are paid on a consolidated basis and allocated for segment purposes. The Factoring segment includes only factoring originated by Bay View Funding.

Banking.  Our banking segment’s net income increased to $7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to net income of $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, our banking segment’s net income was $13.0 million, compared to $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Net interest income increased to $22.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $19.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, net interest income increased to $43.8 million, compared to $39.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in net interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the comparable periods in 2016, was primarily as a result of loan growth and an increase in the average balance of investment securities. The credit to the provision for loan losses was ($46,000) for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to a provision for loan losses of $325,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the provision for loan losses was $265,000, compared with a provision for loan losses of $712,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Noninterest income decreased to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Noninterest income decreased to $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in noninterest income for the second quarter of 2017 and the first six months of 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016, was primarily due to a $1.0 million gain on proceeds from company-owned life insurance and gains on sales of investment securities in 2016.  Noninterest expense increased to $13.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $12.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, noninterest expense was $27.0 million, compared to $25.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in noninterest expense for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the comparable periods in 2016, primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits. 

 

Factoring.  Bay View Funding’s primary business operation is purchasing and collecting factored receivables. Factored receivables are receivables that have been transferred by the originating organization and typically have not been subject to previous collection efforts. In a factoring transaction Bay View Funding directly purchases the receivables generated by its clients at a discount to their face value. The transactions are structured to provide the clients with immediate working capital when there is a mismatch between payments to the client for a good or service and the incurrence of operating costs required to provide for such good or service. The average life of the factored receivables was 36 days for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to 32 days for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The balance of the purchased receivables as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $42.4 million and $51.8 million, respectively. Bay View Funding’s net income was $517,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared $606,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, Bay View Funding’s net income was $955,000, compared to $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30. 2016. Net interest income decreased to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30,

2016, primarily due to a lower average balance of factored receivables.  For the six months ended June 30, 2017, net interest income decreased to $5.0 million, compared to $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to a decrease in the average yield on the factored receivables portfolio, and a decrease in the average balance of factored receivables outstanding. There was no provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to a provision for loan losses of $26,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the provision for loan losses was $10,000, compared to a provision for loan losses of $40,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Noninterest income was $356,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $163,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, noninterest income was $536,000, compared to $365,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Noninterest income was higher in the second quarter of 2017 and the first six months of 2017, compared to the respective periods in 2016, primarily due to a $200,000 termination fee from one customer received in the second quarter of 2017. Noninterest expense was $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, and June 30, 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, noninterest expense was $3.6 million, compared to $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Reflects tax equivalent adjustment for Federal tax exempt income based on a 35% tax rate.


 

The securities portfolio is the second largest component of the Company’s interest‑earning assets, and the structure and composition of this portfolio is important to an analysis of the financial condition of the Company. The portfolio serves the following purposes: (i) it provides a source of pledged assets for securing certain deposits and borrowed funds, as may be required by law or by specific agreement with a depositor or lender; (ii) it provides liquidity to even out cash flows from the loan and deposit activities of customers; (iii) it can be used as an interest rate risk management tool, since it provides a large base of assets, the maturity and interest rate characteristics of which can be changed more readily than the loan portfolio to better match changes in the deposit base and other funding sources of the Company; and (iv) it is an alternative interest‑earning use of funds when loan demand is weak or when deposits grow more rapidly than loans.

 

The Company’s portfolio may include: (i) U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. Government sponsored entities’ debt securities for liquidity and pledging; (ii) mortgage‑backed securities, which in many instances can also be used for pledging, and which generally enhance the yield of the portfolio; (iii) municipal obligations, which provide tax free income and limited pledging potential; (iv) single entity issue trust preferred securities, which generally enhance the yield on the portfolio; and (v) corporate bonds, which also enhance the yield on the portfolio.

 

The Company classifies its securities as either available‑for‑sale or held‑to‑maturity at the time of purchase. Accounting guidance requires available‑for‑sale securities to be marked to fair value with an offset to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of shareholders’ equity. Monthly adjustments are made to reflect changes in the fair value of the Company’s available‑for‑sale securities.

 

The investment securities available‑for‑sale portfolio totaled $369.9 million at June 30, 2017, a decrease of 5% from $390.4 million at June 30, 2016, and an increase of 21% from $306.6 million at December 31, 2016. At June 30, 2017, the Company’s securities available‑for‑sale portfolio was comprised of $353.0 million agency mortgage‑backed securities (all issued by U.S. Government sponsored entities), and $16.9 million of single entity issue trust preferred securities. The pre‑tax unrealized gain on securities available‑for‑sale at June 30, 2017 was $472,000, compared to a pre‑tax unrealized gain on securities available‑for‑sale of $7.7 million at June 30, 2016, and a pre‑tax unrealized loss on securities available‑for‑sale of ($2.0) million at December 31, 2016. All other factors remaining the same, when market interest rates are rising, the Company will experience a higher unrealized loss (or lower unrealized gain) on the securities portfolio. During the second quarter of 2017, the Company purchased $40.3 million of agency mortgage-backed investment securities available-for-sale, with a weighted average book yield of 2.33%, and an average duration of 4.78 years.

 

At June 30, 2017, investment securities held‑to‑maturity totaled $368.3 million, an increase of 75% from $210.2 million at June 30, 2016, and an increase of 14% from $324.0 million at December 31, 2016. At June 30, 2017, the Company’s securities held-to-maturity portfolio, at amortized cost, was comprised of $278.4 million tax-exempt municipal bonds, and $89.9 million agency mortgage-backed securities. During the second quarter of 2017, the

58


 

Table of Contents

Company purchased $37.2 million of agency mortgage-backed investment securities held-to-maturity, with a weighted average book yield of 3.43%, and an average duration of 4.96 years..

 

The Company has not used interest rate swaps or other derivative instruments to hedge fixed rate loans or securities.

 

Loans

 

The Company’s loans represent the largest portion of invested assets, substantially greater than the securities portfolio or any other asset category, and the quality and diversification of the loan portfolio is an important consideration when reviewing the Company’s financial condition. Gross loans, excluding loans held‑for‑sale, represented 57% of total assets at June 30, 2017, represented 62% at June 30, 2016, and represented 58% at December 31, 2016. The ratio of loans to deposits was 65.96% at June 30, 2017, compared to 70.60% at June 30, 2016, and 66.42% at December 31, 2016.

The Company’s loan portfolio is concentrated in commercial loans, (primarily manufacturing, wholesale, and services oriented entities), and commercial real estate, with the remaining balance in land development and construction, home equity, purchased residential mortgages, and consumer loans. The Company does not have any concentrations by industry or group of industries in its loan portfolio, however, 60% of its gross loans were secured by real property at June 30, 2017, compared to 57% at June 30, 2016, and 59% at December 31, 2016. While no specific industry concentration is considered significant, the Company’s bank lending operations are substantially located in areas that are dependent on the technology and real estate industries and their supporting companies.

 

The Company has established concentration limits in its loan portfolio for commercial real estate loans, commercial loans, construction loans and unsecured lending, among others. All loan types are within established limits. The Company uses underwriting guidelines to assess the borrowers’ historical cash flow to determine debt service, and we further stress test the debt service under higher interest rate scenarios. Financial and performance covenants are used in commercial lending to allow the Company to react to a borrower’s deteriorating financial condition should that occur.

 

The Company’s commercial loans are made for working capital, financing the purchase of equipment or for other business purposes. Commercial loans include loans with maturities ranging from thirty days to one year and “term loans” with maturities normally ranging from one to five years. Short‑term business loans are generally intended to finance current transactions and typically provide for periodic principal payments, with interest payable monthly. Term loans normally provide for floating interest rates, with monthly payments of both principal and interest.

 

The Company is an active participant in the SBA and U.S. Department of Agriculture guaranteed lending programs, and has been approved by the SBA as a lender under the Preferred Lender Program. The Company regularly makes such guaranteed loans (collectively referred to as “SBA loans”). The guaranteed portion of these loans is typically sold in the secondary market depending on market conditions. When the guaranteed portion of an SBA loan is sold the

59


 

Table of Contents

Company retains the servicing rights for the sold portion. During the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2017, loans were sold resulting in a gain on sales of SBA loans of $164,000, and $488,000, respectively.

 

The Company’s factoring receivables are from the operations of Bay View Funding whose primary business is purchasing and collecting factored receivables. Factored receivables are receivables that have been transferred by the originating organization and typically have not been subject to previous collection efforts. These receivables are acquired from a variety of companies, including but not limited to service providers, transportation companies, manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, apparel companies, advertisers, and temporary staffing companies. The portfolio of factored receivables is included in the Company’s commercial loan portfolio. The average life of the factored receivables was 36 days for the first six months of 2017, compared to 32 days for the first six months of 2016. The balance of the purchased receivables was $42.4 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $51.8 million at June 30, 2016, and $49.6 million at December 31, 2016.

 

The commercial loan portfolio of $610.7 million at June 30, 2017 remained relatively consistent at $610.4 million at June 30, 2016. The commercial loan portfolio increased $6.3 million from $604.3 million at December 31, 2016, which included an increase of $13.5 million, or 2%, in the C&I portfolio, and a decrease of $7.2 million in the factored receivables portfolio.  C&I line usage was 40% at June 30, 2017, compared to 42% at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016.

 

The Company’s CRE loans consist primarily of loans based on the borrower’s cash flow and are secured by deeds of trust on commercial property to provide a secondary source of repayment. The Company generally restricts real estate term loans to no more than 75% of the property’s appraised value or the purchase price of the property depending on the type of property and its utilization. The Company offers both fixed and floating rate loans. Maturities on real estate mortgage loans are generally between five and ten years (with amortization ranging from fifteen to twenty five years and a balloon payment due at maturity), however, SBA and certain other real estate loans that can be sold in the secondary market may be granted for longer maturities.

 

The CRE loan portfolio increased $112.0 million, or 18%, to $731.5 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $619.5 million at June 30, 2016, which included an increase of $74.1 million, or 12%,  in the Company’s legacy portfolio, and $37.9 million of purchased CRE loans.  There were no purchased CRE loans at June 30, 2016.  The CRE loan portfolio increased $69.3 million compared to $662.2 million at December 31, 2016, which included an increase of $62.4 million, or 10%, in the Company’s legacy portfolio, and an increase of $6.9 million of purchased CRE loans outstanding. 

 

The Company’s land and construction loans are primarily to finance the development/construction of commercial and single family residential properties. The Company utilizes underwriting guidelines to assess the likelihood of repayment from sources such as sale of the property or availability of permanent mortgage financing prior to making the construction loan. Construction loans are provided only in our market area, and the Company has extensive controls for the disbursement process. Land and construction loans decreased $20.8 million to $82.9 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $103.7 million at June 30, 2016, primarily due to the payoff of construction loans during the fourth quarter of 2016. 

 

The Company makes home equity lines of credit available to its existing customers. Home equity lines of credit are underwritten initially with a maximum 75% loan to value ratio.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company purchased jumbo single family residential mortgage loans totaling $57.5 million, all of which are domiciled in California, with an average loan principal amount of approximately $834,000 per loan, and weighted average yield of 3.00%, net of servicing fees to the servicer. There were no purchases of residential mortgage during the first six months of 2017. Residential mortgage loans outstanding at June 30, 2017 totaled $48.7 million, compared to $32.9 million at June 30, 2016, and $52.9 million at December 31, 2016.

Additionally, the Company makes consumer loans for the purpose of financing automobiles, various types of consumer goods, and other personal purposes. Consumer loans generally provide for the monthly payment of principal and interest. Most of the Company’s consumer loans are secured by the personal property being purchased or, in the instances of home equity loans or lines, real property.

Table of Contents

With certain exceptions, state chartered banks are permitted to make extensions of credit to any one borrowing entity up to 15% of the bank’s capital and reserves for unsecured loans and up to 25% of the bank’s capital and reserves for secured loans. For HBC, these lending limits were $45.6 million and $76.1 million at June 30, 2017, respectively.

 

Loan Maturities

 

The following table presents the maturity distribution of the Company’s loans (excluding loans held‑for‑sale) as of June 30, 2017. The table shows the distribution of such loans between those loans with predetermined (fixed) interest rates and those with variable (floating) interest rates. Floating rates generally fluctuate with changes in the prime rate as reflected in the Western Edition of The Wall Street Journal. As of June 30, 2017, approximately 51% of the Company’s loan portfolio consisted of floating interest rate loans.

Financial institutions generally have a certain level of exposure to credit quality risk, and could potentially receive less than a full return of principal and interest if a debtor becomes unable or unwilling to repay. Since loans are the most significant assets of the Company and generate the largest portion of its revenues, the Company’s management of credit quality risk is focused primarily on loan quality. Banks have generally suffered their most severe earnings declines as a result of customers’ inability to generate sufficient cash flow to service their debts and/or downturns in national and regional economies and declines in overall asset values including real estate. In addition, certain debt securities that the Company may purchase have the potential of declining in value if the obligor’s financial capacity to repay deteriorates.

 

The Company’s policies and procedures identify market segments, set goals for portfolio growth or contraction, and establish limits on industry and geographic credit concentrations. In addition, these policies establish the Company’s underwriting standards and the methods of monitoring ongoing credit quality. The Company’s internal credit risk controls are centered in underwriting practices, credit granting procedures, training, risk management techniques, and familiarity with loan customers as well as the relative diversity and geographic concentration of our loan portfolio.

 

The Company’s credit risk may also be affected by external factors such as the level of interest rates, employment, general economic conditions, real estate values, and trends in particular industries or geographic markets. As an independent community bank serving a specific geographic area, the Company must contend with the unpredictable changes in the general California market and, particularly, primary local markets. The Company’s asset quality has suffered in the past from the impact of national and regional economic recessions, consumer bankruptcies, and depressed real estate values.

 

Nonperforming assets are comprised of the following: loans for which the Company is no longer accruing interest; restructured loans which have been current under six months; loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest (although they are generally placed on nonaccrual when they become 90 days past due, unless they are both well‑secured and in the process of collection); and foreclosed assets. Past due loans 30 days or greater totaled $4.6 million and $8.0 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, of which $1.5 million and $2.1 million were on nonaccrual. At June 30, 2017, there were also $1.5 million loans less than 30 days past due included in nonaccrual loans held‑for‑investment. At December 31, 2016, there were also $1.0 million loans less than 30 days past due included in nonaccrual loans held‑for‑investment.

 

Management’s classification of a loan as “nonaccrual” is an indication that there is reasonable doubt as to the full recovery of principal or interest on the loan. At that point, the Company stops accruing interest income, and reverses any uncollected interest that had been accrued as income. The Company begins recognizing interest income only as cash interest payments are received and it has been determined the collection of all outstanding principal is not in doubt. The loans may or may not be collateralized, and collection efforts are pursued. Loans may be restructured by management when a borrower has experienced some change in financial status causing an inability to meet the original repayment terms and where the Company believes the borrower will eventually overcome those circumstances and make full restitution. Foreclosed assets consist of properties acquired by foreclosure or similar means that management is offering or will offer for sale.

Loans with a well‑defined weakness, which are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain a loss if the deficiencies are not corrected, are categorized as “classified.” Classified loans include all loans considered as substandard, substandard‑nonaccrual, and doubtful and may result from problems specific to a borrower’s business or from economic downturns that affect the borrower’s ability to repay or that cause a decline in the value of the underlying collateral (particularly real estate). The principal balance of classified loans, was $7.3 million at June 30, 2017, $22.5 million at June 30, 2016, and $13.3 million at December 31, 2016. Loans held‑for‑sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value, and are not allocated an allowance for loan losses.

Classified commercial loans decreased to $5.5 million at June 30, 2017, from $15.8 million at June 30, 2016, and from $10.1 million at December 31, 2016, primarily due to commercial loan upgrades in excess of downgrades during the six months ended June 30, 2017. Classified CRE loans decreased to $705,000 at June 30, 2017, from $5.3 million at June 30, 2016, and from $2.5 million at December 31, 2016, mainly as a result of upgrades and payoffs in the CRE loan portfolio.

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. Loans are charged‑off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance for loan losses. Management’s methodology for estimating the allowance balance consists of several key elements, which include specific allowances on individual impaired loans and the formula driven allowances on pools of loans with similar risk characteristics. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged‑off.

 

Specific allowances are established for impaired loans. Management considers a loan to be impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled interest payments. Loans for which the terms have been modified with a concession granted, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired. When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of impairment is measured based on the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell if the loan is collateral dependent, or on the present value of expected future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market. If the measure of the impaired loans is less than the investment in the loan, the deficiency will be charged‑off against the allowance for loan losses if the amount is a confirmed loss, or, alternatively, a specific allocation within the allowance will be established. Loans that are considered impaired are specifically excluded from the formula portion of the allowance for loan losses analysis.

Table of Contents

The estimated loss factors for pools of loans that are not impaired are based on determining the probability of default and loss given default for loans within each segment of the portfolio, adjusted for significant factors that, in management’s judgment, affect collectability as of the evaluation date. The Company’s historical delinquency experience and loss experience are utilized to determine the probability of default and loss given default for segments of the portfolio where the Company has experienced losses in the past. For segments of the portfolio where the Company has no significant prior loss experience, the Company uses quantifiable observable industry data to determine the probability of default and loss given default.

 

The following provides a summary of the risks associated with various segments of the Company’s loan portfolio, which are factors management regularly considers when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance:

 

·

Commercial loans consist primarily of commercial and industrial loans (business lines of credit), and other commercial purpose loans. Repayment of commercial and industrial loans is generally provided from the cash flows of the related business to which the loan was made. Adverse changes in economic conditions may result in a decline in business activity, which may impact a borrower’s ability to continue to make scheduled payments. The factored receivables at Bay View Funding are included in the Company’s commercial loan portfolio; however, they are evaluated for risk primarily based on the agings of the receivables. Faster turning receivables imply less risk and therefore warrant a lower associated allowance. Should the overall aging for the portfolio increase, this structure will by formula increase the allowance to reflect the increasing risk. Should the portfolio turn more quickly, it would reduce the associated allowance to reflect the reducing risk.

 

·

Real estate loans consist primarily of loans secured by commercial and residential real estate. Also included in this segment are land and construction loans and home equity lines of credit secured by real estate. As the majority of this segment is comprised of commercial real estate loans, risks associated with this segment lay primarily within these loan types. Adverse economic conditions may result in a decline in business activity and increased vacancy rates for commercial properties. These factors, in conjunction with a decline in real estate prices, may expose the Company to the potential for losses if a borrower cannot continue to service the loan with operating revenues, and the value of the property has declined to a level such that it no longer fully covers the Company’s recorded investment in the loan.

 

·

Consumer loans consist primarily of a large number of small loans and lines of credit. The majority of installment loans are made for consumer and business purchases. Weakened economic conditions may result in an increased level of delinquencies within this segment, as economic pressures may impact the capacity of such borrowers to repay their obligations.

 

As a result of the matters mentioned above, changes in the financial condition of individual borrowers, economic conditions, historical loss experience and the condition of the various markets in which collateral may be sold may all affect the required level of the allowance for loan losses and the associated provision for loan losses.

 

It is the policy of management to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level adequate for risks inherent in the loan portfolio. On an ongoing basis, we have engaged an outside firm to perform independent credit reviews of our loan portfolio. The Federal Reserve Board and the California Department of Business Oversight—Division of Financial Institutions also review the allowance for loan losses as an integral part of the examination process. Based on information currently available, management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. However, the loan portfolio can be adversely affected if California economic conditions and the real estate market in the Company’s market area were to weaken. Also, any weakness of a prolonged nature in the technology industry would have a negative impact on the local market. The effect of such events, although uncertain at this time, could result in an increase in the level of nonperforming loans and increased loan losses, which could adversely affect the Company’s future growth and profitability. No assurance of the ultimate level of credit losses can be given with any certainty.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $19.4 million, or 1.24% of total loans at June 30, 2017, compared to $19.9 million, or 1.36% of total loans at June 30, 2016, and $19.1 million, or 1.27% of total loans at December 31, 2016. The Company had net recoveries of ($308,000), or (0.08)% of average loans, for the second quarter of 2017, compared to net recoveries of ($112,000), or (0.03)% of average loans, for the second quarter of 2016, and net charge-offs of $1.2 million, or 0.32% of average loans, for the fourth quarter of 2016.

 

The allowance for loan losses related to the commercial portfolio increased $603,000, at June 30, 2017 from December 31, 2016, primarily due to an increase in commercial loans outstanding and net charge‑offs of $896,000, resulting in a provision to the allowance for loan losses of $1.5 million. The allowance for loan losses related to the real estate portfolio decreased $345,000 at June 30, 2017 from December 31, 2016, due to net recoveries of $929,000, resulting in a credit provision for loan losses of $1.3 million. The decrease in the allowance for loan losses in the real estate portfolio was primarily related to improving credit quality factors.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

On November 1, 2014, estimated goodwill of $13.0 million resulted from the acquisition of Bay View Funding. On August 20, 2015, estimated goodwill of $32.6 million resulted from the merger of Focus. Goodwill represents the

67


 

Table of Contents

excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to adjustment during the first twelve months after the acquisition date if additional information becomes available to indicate a more accurate or appropriate value for an asset or liability. Total goodwill at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $45.6 million, which consisted of $13.0 million related to the Bay View Funding acquisition, and $32.6 million related to the Focus acquisition.

Goodwill impairment exists when a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, which is determined through a qualitative assessment whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of equity of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value (“Step Zero”). If the qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the fair value of equity of a reporting unit is less than book value, then a quantitative two‑step impairment test is required. Step 1 includes the determination of the carrying value of the Company’s single reporting unit, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, and estimating the fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company is required to perform a second step to the impairment test. Step 2 requires that the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill be compared to the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

The Company completed its annual impairment analysis on the goodwill from the Bay View Funding and Focus acquisitions as of November 30, 2016, with the assistance of an independent valuation firm. Based on the Step Zero qualitative analysis performed, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s equity exceeded its reported book value of equity at November 30, 2016. As such, no impairment was indicated and no further testing was required.

Other intangible assets were $6.2 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $7.0 million at December 31, 2016. The core deposit and customer relationship intangible assets arising from the acquisition of Diablo Valley Bank in June 2007 was fully amortized at June 30, 2017 and totaled $195,000 at December 31, 2016, net of accumulated amortization. The core deposit intangible asset arising from the acquisition of Focus was $4.7 million at June 30, 2017 and $5.2 million at December 31, 2016, net of accumulated amortization. A below market lease, customer relationship and brokered relationship, and a non‑compete agreement intangible assets arising from the acquisition of Bay View Funding were $1.4 million at June 30, 2017 and $1.6 million at December 31, 2016, net of accumulated amortization.

 

Deposits

 

The composition and cost of the Company’s deposit base are important components in analyzing the Company’s net interest margin and balance sheet liquidity characteristics, both of which are discussed in greater detail in other sections herein. The Company’s liquidity is impacted by the volatility of deposits from the propensity of that money to leave the institution for rate‑related or other reasons. Deposits can be adversely affected if economic conditions weaken in California, and the Company’s market area in particular. Potentially, the most volatile deposits in a financial institution are jumbo certificates of deposit, meaning time deposits with balances that equal or exceed $250,000, as customers with balances of that magnitude are typically more rate‑sensitive than customers with smaller balances.

carry average deposits in excess of $250,000. The account activity for some account types and client types necessitates appropriate liquidity management practices by the Company to help ensure its ability to fund deposit withdrawals.

Off‑Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

In the normal course of business the Company makes commitments to extend credit to its customers as long as there are no violations of any conditions established in the contractual arrangements. These commitments are obligations that represent a potential credit risk to the Company, but are not reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Total unused commitments to extend credit were $660.3 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $606.2 million at June 30, 2016, and $596.5 million at December 31, 2016. Unused commitments represented 42% outstanding gross loans at June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, and 40% at December 31, 2016.

 

The effect on the Company’s revenues, expenses, cash flows and liquidity from the unused portion of the commitments to provide credit cannot be reasonably predicted because there is no certainty that lines of credit and letters of credit will ever be fully utilized. The following table presents the Company’s commitments to extend credit for the periods indicated:

Liquidity and Asset/Liability Management

 

Liquidity refers to the Company’s ability to maintain cash flows sufficient to fund operations and to meet obligations and other commitments in a timely and cost effective fashion. At various times the Company requires funds to meet short‑term cash requirements brought about by loan growth or deposit outflows, the purchase of assets, or liability repayments. An integral part of the Company’s ability to manage its liquidity position appropriately is the Company’s large base of core deposits, which are generated by offering traditional banking services in its service area and which have historically been a stable source of funds. To manage liquidity needs properly cash inflows must be timed to coincide with anticipated outflows or sufficient liquidity resources must be available to meet varying demands. The Company manages liquidity to be able to meet unexpected sudden changes in levels of its assets or deposit liabilities without maintaining excessive amounts of balance sheet liquidity. Excess balance sheet liquidity can negatively impact the Company’s interest margin. In order to meet short‑term liquidity needs the Company utilizes overnight Federal funds purchase arrangements and other borrowing arrangements with correspondent banks, solicits brokered deposits if cost effective deposits are not available from local sources, and maintains collateralized lines of credit with the FHLB and FRB. In addition, the Company can raise cash for temporary needs by selling securities under agreements to repurchase and selling securities available‑for‑sale.

Table of Contents

One of the measures of liquidity is our loan to deposit ratio. Our loan to deposit ratio was 65.96% at June 30, 2017, compared to 70.60% at June 30, 2016, and 66.42% at December 31, 2016.

 

FHLB and FRB Borrowings and Available Lines of Credit

 

The Bank has off‑balance sheet liquidity in the form of Federal funds purchase arrangements with correspondent banks, including the FHLB and FRB. The Bank can borrow from the FHLB on a short‑term (typically overnight) or long‑term (over one year) basis. The Bank had no overnight borrowings from the FHLB at June 30, 2017, June 30, 2016, and December 31, 2016. The Bank had $199.7 million of loans pledged to the FHLB as collateral on an available line of credit of $160.2 million at June 30, 2017, none of which was outstanding.

 

The Bank can also borrow from the FRB’s discount window. The Bank had $486.6 million of loans pledged to the FRB as collateral on an available line of credit of $299.6 million at June 30, 2017, none of which was outstanding.

 

At June 30, 2017, the Bank had Federal funds purchase arrangements available of $55.0 million. There were no Federal funds purchased outstanding at June 30, 2017, June 30, 2016, and December 31, 2016.

 

The Company has a $5.0 million line of credit with a correspondent bank, of which none was outstanding at June 30, 2017.

 

The Bank may also utilize securities sold under repurchase agreements to manage our liquidity position. There were no securities sold under agreements to repurchase at June 30, 2017, June 30, 2016, and December 31, 2016.

Subordinated Debt

On May 26, 2017, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of $40.0 million aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Debt due June 1, 2027. The Subordinated Debt initially bears a fixed interest rate of 5.25% per year, payable semi-annually. Commencing on June 1, 2022, the interest rate on the Subordinated Debt resets quarterly to the three-month LIBOR rate plus a spread of 336.5 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears.   Interest on the Subordinated Debt is payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year through June 1, 2022 and quarterly thereafter on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year through the maturity date or early redemption date. The first interest payment will be made on December 1, 2017.  The Company at its option may redeem the Subordinated Debt, in whole or in part, on any interest payment date on or after June 1, 2022 without a premium. The Subordinated Debt, net of unamortized issuance costs, totaled $39.1 million at June 30, 2017, and qualifies as Tier 2 capital for the Company under the guidelines established by the Federal Reserve Bank.  The Company down streamed $20.0 million of the proceeds to HBC during the second quarter of 2017. 

Capital Resources

 

The Company uses a variety of measures to evaluate capital adequacy. Management reviews various capital measurements on a regular basis and takes appropriate action to ensure that such measurements are within established internal and external guidelines. The external guidelines, which are issued by the Federal Reserve and the FDIC, establish a risk‑adjusted ratio relating capital to different categories of assets and off‑balance sheet exposures.

The Basel III capital rules introduce a new “capital conservation buffer,” for banking organizations to maintain a common equity Tier 1 ratio more than 2.5% above these minimum risk‑weighted asset ratios. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of common equity Tier 1 to risk‑weighted assets above the minimum but below the capital conservation buffer will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall. The implementation of the capital conservation buffer was phased in beginning on January 1, 2016 at 0.625% and will be phased in over a four‑year period (increasing by that amount on each subsequent January 1, until it reaches 2.5% on January 1, 2019). The capital conservation buffer increased to 1.25% beginning on January 1, 2017.

 

The Subordinated Debt, net of unamortized issuance costs, totaled $39.1 million at June 30, 2017, and qualifies as Tier 2 capital for the Company under the guidelines established by the Federal Reserve.  The issuance of Subordinated Debt resulted in an increase in the Company’s total risk‑based capital ratio at June 30, 2017, compared to June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016, but had no effect on the other regulatory capital ratios of the Company.  All of HBC’s regulatory capital ratios increased at June 30, 2017, compared to June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016, primarily due to the downstream of $20.0 million of the proceeds of the Subordinated Debt from the Company to HBC, partially offset by distributed dividends totaling $8.0 million from HBC to the Company during the first six months of 2017.

The Company’s common equity Tier 1 risk‑based capital ratio increased at June 30, 2017, compared to June 30,  2016, primarily due to the exchange of the Company’s Series C convertible perpetual preferred stock, no par value (“Series C Preferred Stock”) for 5,601,000 shares of the Company’s common stock during the third quarter of 2016, as discussed below. The exchange of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock into common stock had no effect on HBC’s common equity Tier 1 risk‑based capital ratio.

 

At June 30, 2017, the Company’s consolidated capital ratio exceeded regulatory guidelines and HBC’s capital ratios exceed the highest regulatory capital requirement of “well‑capitalized” under Basel III prompt corrective action provisions. Quantitative measures established by regulation to help ensure capital adequacy require the Company and HBC to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total risk‑based capital, Tier 1 capital, and common equity Tier 1 (as defined in the regulations) to risk‑weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined). Management believes that, as of June 30, 2017, June 30, 2016, and December 31, 2016, the Company and HBC met all capital adequacy guidelines to which they were subject. There are no conditions or events since June 30, 2017, that management believes have changed the categorization of the Company or HBC as well‑capitalized.

 

At June 30, 2017, the Company had total shareholders’ equity of $269.2 million, compared to $257.5 million at June 30, 2016, and $259.9 million at December 31, 2016. At June 30, 2017, total shareholders’ equity included $216.8 million in common stock, $58.9 million in retained earnings, and ($6.5) million of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

The accumulated other comprehensive loss was ($6.5) million at June 30, 2017, compared to accumulated other comprehensive loss of ($2.1) million at June 30, 2016, and an accumulated other comprehensive loss of ($7.9) million at December 31, 2016. The unrealized gain (loss) on securities available‑for‑sale, net of taxes, included in accumulated other comprehensive loss was an unrealized gain of $280,000, at June 30, 2017, compared to an unrealized gain of $4.5 million, at June 30, 2016, and an unrealized loss of ($1.2) million, at December 31, 2016. The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of taxes, at June 30, 2017 include the following: an unrealized gain on available‑for‑sale securities of $280,000; the remaining unamortized unrealized gain on securities available‑for‑sale transferred to held‑to‑maturity of $320,000; a split dollar insurance contracts liability of ($3.5) million; a supplemental executive retirement plan liability of ($4.2) million; and an unrealized gain on interest‑only strip from SBA loans of $597,000.

 

Series C Preferred Stock

 

On September 12, 2016, the Company entered into Exchange Agreements with Castle Creek Capital Partners IV, LP, Patriot Financial Partners, L.P. and Patriot Financial Partners Parallel, L.P. (collectively “Preferred Stockholders”) providing for the exchange of 21,004 shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock for 5,601,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The exchange ratio was equal to the equivalent number of shares the Preferred Stockholders would have received upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock. During the fourth quarter of 2016, Castle Creek Capital Partners IV, LP, Patriot Financial Partners, L.P. and Patriot Financial Partners Parallel, L.P. sold all of their shares of common stock. The exchange of the Series C Preferred Stock for common stock resulted in an increase in the Company’s common Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio at June 30, 2017, compared to June 30, 2016, but had no effect on HBC’s common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio or other regulatory capital ratios of the Company or HBC.

 

The book value per common share was $7.06 at June 30, 2017, compared to $7.37 at June 30, 2016, and $6.85 at December 31, 2016. The tangible book value per common share was $5.70 at June 30, 2017, compared to $5.72 at June 30, 2016, and $5.46 at December 31, 2016. On a full conversion of the Series C Preferred stock into common stock at June 30, 2016: (i) the book value per common share would have been reduced to $6.80; and (ii) the tangible book value per common share would have been reduced to $5.39.

 

Market Risk

 

Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values, or future cash flows that may result from changes in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributed to all market risk sensitive financial instruments, including securities, loans, deposits and borrowings, as well as the Company’s role as a financial intermediary in customer‑related transactions. The objective of market risk management is to avoid excessive exposure of the Company’s earnings and equity to loss and to reduce the volatility inherent in certain financial instruments.

 

Interest Rate Management

 

Market risk arises from changes in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The Company’s market risk exposure is primarily that of interest rate risk, and it has established policies and procedures to monitor and limit earnings and balance sheet exposure to changes in interest rates. The Company does not engage in the trading of financial instruments, nor does the Company have exposure to currency exchange rates.

 

The principal objective of interest rate risk management (often referred to as “asset/liability management”) is to manage the financial components of the Company in a manner that will optimize the risk/reward equation for earnings and capital in relation to changing interest rates. The Company’s exposure to market risk is reviewed on a regular basis by the Asset/Liability Committee. Interest rate risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair market values. The objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust the balance sheet to minimize the inherent risk while at the same time maximizing income. Management realizes certain risks are inherent, and that the goal is to identify and manage the risks. Management uses two methodologies to manage interest rate risk: (i) a standard GAP analysis; and (ii) an interest rate shock simulation model.

The planning of asset and liability maturities is an integral part of the management of an institution’s net interest margin. To the extent maturities of assets and liabilities do not match in a changing interest rate environment, the net interest margin may change over time. Even with perfectly matched repricing of assets and liabilities, risks remain in the form of prepayment of loans or securities or in the form of delays in the adjustment of rates of interest applying to either earning assets with floating rates or to interest‑bearing liabilities. The Company has generally been able to control its exposure to changing interest rates by maintaining primarily floating interest rate loans and a majority of its time certificates with relatively short maturities.

 

Interest rate changes do not affect all categories of assets and liabilities equally or at the same time. Varying interest rate environments can create unexpected changes in prepayment levels of assets and liabilities, which may have a significant effect on the net interest margin and are not reflected in the interest sensitivity analysis table. Because of these factors, an interest sensitivity GAP report may not provide a complete assessment of the exposure to changes in interest rates.

 

The Company uses modeling software for asset/liability management in order to simulate the effects of potential interest rate changes on the Company’s net interest margin, and to calculate the estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments under different interest rate scenarios. The program imports current balances, interest rates, maturity dates and repricing information for individual financial instruments, and incorporates assumptions on the characteristics of embedded options along with pricing and duration for new volumes to project the effects of a given interest rate change on the Company’s interest income and interest expense. Rate scenarios consisting of key rate and yield curve projections are run against the Company’s investment, loan, deposit and borrowed funds portfolios. These rate projections can be shocked (an immediate and parallel change in all base rates, up or down) and ramped (an incremental increase or decrease in rates over a specified time period), based on current trends and econometric models or stable economic conditions (unchanged from current actual levels).

 

The following table sets forth the estimated changes in the Company’s annual net interest income that would result from the designated instantaneous parallel shift in interest rates noted, as of June 30, 2017. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results.

This data does not reflect any actions that we may undertake in response to changes in interest rates such as changes in rates paid on certain deposit accounts based on local competitive factors, which could reduce the actual impact on net interest income.

 

As with any method of gauging interest rate risk, there are certain shortcomings inherent to the methodology noted above. The model assumes interest rate changes are instantaneous parallel shifts in the yield curve. In reality, rate changes are rarely instantaneous. The use of the simplifying assumption that short‑term and long‑term rates change by the same degree may also misstate historic rate patterns, which rarely show parallel yield curve shifts. Further, the model assumes that certain assets and liabilities of similar maturity or period to repricing will react in the same way to changes in rates. In reality, certain types of financial instruments may react in advance of changes in market rates, while the reaction of other types of financial instruments may lag behind the change in general market rates. Additionally, the methodology noted above does not reflect the full impact of annual and lifetime restrictions on changes in rates for certain assets, such as adjustable rate loans. When interest rates change, actual loan prepayments and actual early withdrawals from certificates may deviate significantly from the assumptions used in the model. Finally, this

methodology does not measure or reflect the impact that higher rates may have on adjustable‑rate loan clients’ ability to service their debt. All of these factors are considered in monitoring the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk.
