BayCom Corp Reports 2021 Fourth Quarter Earnings of $5.4 Million and Annual 2021 Earnings of $20.7 Million

BayCom Corp (“BayCom” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BCML), the holding company for United Business Bank (the “Bank” or “UBB”), announced earnings of $5.4 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to earnings of $5.4 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2021 and $4.5 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2020. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the prior quarter increased $26,000, or 0.5%, primarily as a result of a $1.5 million increase in net interest income, and a $125,000 decrease in noninterest expense, partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in noninterest income and a $100,000 decrease in the provision for income taxes.

Net income increased $7.0 million, or 50.7% to $20.7 million, or $1.90 per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $13.7 million, or $1.15 per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2020. This increase in net income was the result of a $9.9 million decrease in the provision for loan losses, a $2.5 million increase in noninterest income and a $3.4 million decrease in noninterest expense, partially offset by a $5.5 million decrease in net interest income and a $3.3 million increase in provision for income taxes. The $9.9 million decrease in the provision for loan losses was primarily due to continued improvements in the economic forecasts during 2021, as compared to last year when the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted economic conditions. The increase in noninterest income was related to increases in gain on sale of loans of $3.0 million, and increased income from an investment in a Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) fund of $399,000, partially offset by a decrease in loan servicing and other fees of $145,000. Noninterest expense during the year ended December 31, 2020, included $3.0 million of acquisition-related expenses for the acquisition of Grand Mountain Bancshares (“GMB”) and its wholly owned subsidiary Grand Mountain Bank.

Proposed Acquisition of Pacific Enterprise Bancorp

On September 7, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Pacific Enterprise Bancorp (“PEB”), which is headquartered in Irvine, California. Pursuant to the merger agreement PEB will merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation in the merger. Immediately after the merger, Pacific Enterprise Bank, a California state-chartered bank and wholly owned subsidiary of PEB, will merge with and into the Bank, with the Bank as the surviving bank. The transaction was approved and adopted by the Board of Directors of each company and has received the requisite shareholder and regulatory approvals. The transaction is expected to be completed in the first calendar quarter of 2022, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, holders of PEB common stock will receive 1.0292 shares of Company common stock for each share of PEB common stock. At December 31, 2021, PEB had approximately $518.5 million in assets, $429.7 million in loans, $403.4 million in deposits and $64.8 million in stockholders’ equity. Upon completion of the transaction, the combined company will have approximately $2.9 billion in total assets, $2.1 billion in total loans and $2.4 billion in total deposits.

George Guarini, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased with our fourth quarter and full year 2021 performance. We are looking forward to closing our merger with Pacific Enterprise Bank and continue to believe in our focus on growth through strategic acquisitions accompanied by moderate organic growth. Our acquisitions diversify our loan portfolio with seasoned loans and compliment or expand our market areas. Retention of local lending personnel and credit administration personnel allow us to maintain and develop strong client relationships. We believe our overall credit quality metrics remain strong because of this approach.”

Guarini concluded, “In December 2021, we announced our net next round of stock repurchases. Additional stock repurchases will continue to be considered as part of our capital management strategy.”

Earnings

Net interest income increased $1.5 million, or 8.2%, to $19.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 from $17.7 million in the preceding quarter and increased $899,000, or 4.9%, from $18.3 million in the same quarter a year ago. The increase in net interest income between the periods primarily reflects an increase in interest income on loans due to the acceleration of the recognition of deferred loan fee income due to loan repayments from SBA loan forgiveness, lower rates on new originations and adjustable-rate loans adjusting to lower market rates. Average interest earning assets increased $15.4 million, or 0.7%, for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to the prior quarter primarily due to increases in both average loans receivable and investment securities, partially offset by decreases in average cash and cash equivalents. As compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, average interest earning assets increased $125.0 million, or 5.9%, due to an increase in average cash and cash equivalents primarily a result of PPP loan repayments and an increase in total deposits, which exceeded the funds required for loan originations and used for purchases of investment securities. Average yield on interest earning assets for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was 3.79%, compared to 3.57% for the third quarter of 2021 and 3.89% the fourth quarter of 2020. The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was 0.64%, compared to 0.66% for the third quarter of 2021 and 0.74% the fourth quarter of 2020.

Interest income on loans, including fees, increased $1.3 million, or 7.0%, during the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to the prior quarter primarily due to a 25 basis point increase in the average yield on loans, primarily due to the acceleration of deferred loan fees from PPP loans and increased prepayment penalty fees, coupled with a $21.5 million increase in the average loan balance. The average yield on loans, including the accretion of the net discount for the fourth quarter of 2021 and deferred PPP loan fees recognized, was 4.75%, compared to 4.50% for the third quarter of 2021 and 4.64% for the fourth quarter of 2020. Interest income on loans, including fees, increased $76,000, or 0.4%, during the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to a 11 basis point increase in the average yield on loans, partially offset by a $33.4 million decrease in average loan balance.

Interest income on loans included $409,000, $338,000 and $709,000 in accretion of the net discount on acquired loans and revenue from purchase credit impaired loans in excess of discounts for the quarters ended December 31, 2021, September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively. The balance of the net discount on these acquired loans totaled $2.1 million, $2.3 million, and $3.3 million at December 31, 2021, September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively. Interest income included $1.9 million in fees earned related to PPP loans in the quarter ended December 31, 2021, compared to $1.1 million in previous quarter and $664,000 during the same quarter in 2020. As of December 31, 2021, total unrecognized fees on PPP loans were $2.0 million. Interest income also included fees related to prepayment penalties of $439,000 in the current quarter, compared to $57,000 in the previous quarter, and $124,000 in the same quarter last year.

Annualized net interest margin was 3.41% for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to 3.17% for the preceding quarter and 3.44% for fourth quarter of 2020. During the quarter, the recognition of deferred loans fees related to PPP loans had a positive impact on the net interest margin, offsetting the negative impact from the continued downward pressure on adjustable-rate instruments in this low interest rate environment. The average yield on PPP loans was 8.95%, including the recognition of deferred PPP loan fees, resulting in a positive impact to the net interest margin of 23 basis points during the quarter, compared to an average yield of 4.52% with a positive impact to the net interest margin of eight basis points during the previous quarter, and an average yield of 2.89% with a negative impact to the net interest margin of 16 basis points during the same quarter in 2020. The accretion of the net discount on acquired loans increased the average yield on loans by 15 basis points during the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to seven basis points during the previous quarter, and 17 basis points during the fourth quarter of 2020. The incremental accretion and the impact on loan yield will change during any period based on the volume of prepayments, but is expected to decrease over time as the balance of the net discount declines.

The average cost of funds for the fourth quarter of 2021 was 0.64%, compared to 0.66% for the third quarter of 2021 and 0.74% for the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease in our cost of funds during the current quarter, compared to the prior quarter and the fourth quarter of 2020, primarily was due to lower interest rates paid on deposits, partially offset by an increase in interest expense associated with subordinated debt issued in the fourth quarter of 2020. The average cost of total deposits for the fourth quarter of 2021 was 0.24%, compared to 0.25% for the previous quarter and 0.29% for the fourth quarter of 2020. The average balance of noninterest bearing deposits increased $4.0 million or 0.54% to $738.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to $734.6 million for the previous quarter, and increased $41.4 million or 5.9% from $697.1 million for the comparable quarter a year ago. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the average balance of noninterest bearing deposits increased $55.3 million or 8.25% to $725.4 million, compared to $670.1 million for the year ended December 30, 2020.

Based on our review of the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a $496,000 provision for loan losses for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to a $477,000 and a $1.9 million provision for loan losses in the preceding quarter and the fourth quarter a year ago, respectively. The provision for loan losses recorded in the current quarter related primarily to new loan production, coupled with a $226,000 increase in specific reserves related to one impaired loan based on a recent appraisal.

Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2021 decreased $1.4 million, or 35.9%, to $2.6 million compared to $4.0 million in the previous quarter and decreased $498,000, or 16.2%, compared to $3.1 million for the same quarter in 2020. The decrease in noninterest income for the current quarter compared to the previous quarter was primarily due to a $1.1 million decrease in gain on sale of loans, primarily due to a decrease in volume of loans sold this quarter, and a $273,000 decrease in income from our SBIC investment. The decrease in noninterest income for the current quarter compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily due to a $399,000 decrease in income from our investment in SBIC fund, and $206,000 decrease in loan servicing fees and other fees, partially offset by a $284,000 increase in gain on sale of loans.

Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2021 decreased $125,000, or 0.9%, to $13.8 million compared to $13.9 million for the third quarter in 2021 and decreased $154,000, or 1.1%, compared to $13.9 million for the same quarter in 2020. The decrease in noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the previous quarter primarily was the result of a $152,000, or 10.2% decrease in data processing expense related to reversing over accrued merger data processing expenses related to our GMB acquisition due to actual expenses being lower than original estimates, a $171,000 decrease, or 8.8% decrease in occupancy expense related to reduced common area maintenance costs under certain lease agreements and the closure of one branch on September 30, 2021, and a $242,000, or 10.6% decrease in other expenses. The decrease was partially offset by a $440,000 net increase in salaries and employees benefits primarily due to final year-end accrual adjustments for employee incentives and commissions earned in 2021 related to increased loan production and the Company’s financial performance.

Noninterest expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021 decreased $154,000 or 1.1% compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, primarily due a $175,000, or 11.6% decrease in data processing expense and a $102,000, or 4.7% decrease in other expense, partially offset by a $103,000, or 1.2%, increase in salaries and employee benefits expense.

The provision for income taxes increased $100,000 to $2.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to the third quarter of 2021, and increased $1.1 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase in income tax provision in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the prior quarter was due to a slight increase in the effective tax rate related to decreased tax-exempt income. The increase in income tax provision in the current quarter compared to the same quarter of 2020 was due primarily to an increase in taxable income. The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2021 was 27.7% compared to 26.8% for the third quarter of 2021 and 18.1% for the same quarter a year ago. The effective rate for the fourth quarter of 2020 was lower primarily due to post closing adjustments related to prior acquisitions.

Loans and Credit Quality

Loans, net of deferred fees, increased $24.1 million to $1.7 billion at December 31, 2021, compared to September 30, 2021, and increase $21.6 million compared to December 31, 2020. The increase in loans at December 31, 2021 compared to September 30, 2021, was primarily due to loan originations totaling $171.4 million, partially offset by loan repayments totaling $96.1 million, including $43.6 million in PPP loan forgiveness repayments from the SBA, and $9.8 million in loan sales. As of December 31, 2021, there was a total of 323 PPP loans outstanding totaling $69.6 million, compared to $113.2 million at September 30, 2021 and $135.6 million at December 31, 2020.

Nonperforming loans, consisting of non-accrual loans and accruing loans that are 90 days or more past due, totaled $6.9 million or 0.41% of total loans at December 31, 2021, compared to $8.3 million or 0.50% of total loans at September 30, 2021, and $8.4 million or 0.53% of total loans at December 31, 2020. The portion of nonaccrual loans guaranteed by government agencies totaled $822,000, $841,000, and $850,000 at December 31, 2021, September 30, 2021, and December 30, 2020, respectively. There were no loans that were 90 days or more past due and still accruing at December 31, 2021, compared to one loan totaling $1.0 million at September 30, 2021, and one loan totaling $233,000 at December 31, 2020. Accruing loans past due between 30 and 89 days at December 31, 2021, were $3.8 million, compared to $10.0 million at September 30, 2021, and $734,000 at December 31, 2020. The decrease in loans past due between 30 and 89 days from previous quarter was due to two matured loans which were in the process of renewal at September 30, 2021 and subsequently renewed.

At December 31, 2021, the Company’s allowance for loan losses was $17.7 million, or 1.06% of total loans, compared to $17.3 million, or 1.05% of total loans, at September 30, 2021, and $17.5 million, or 1.06% of total loans, at December 31, 2020. We recorded net charge-offs of $95,000 for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to net charge-offs $177,000 in the previous quarter and net recoveries of $216,000 in the same quarter in 2020.

In accordance with acquisition accounting, loans acquired from acquisitions were recorded at their estimated fair value, which resulted in a net discount to the loans contractual amounts. Credit discounts are included in the determination of fair value and as a result, no allowance for loan losses is recorded for acquired loans at the acquisition date. However, the allowance for loan loss includes an estimate for credit deterioration of acquired loans that occurs after the date of acquisition, which is included in the loan loss provision in the period that the deterioration occurred. The discount recorded on the acquired loans is not reflected in the allowance for loan losses or related allowance coverage ratios. As of December 31, 2021, acquired loans, net of their discounts, totaled $53.4 million and the remaining net discount on these acquired loans was $2.1 million, compared to $55.2 million of acquired loans and $2.2 million of net discounts at September 30, 2021, and $164.0 million of acquired loans and $3.3 million of net discounts at December 31, 2020.

At December 31, 2021, the Company had two commercial real estate loans totaling $2.7 million operating under forbearance agreements due to COVID-19. Since these loans were performing loans that were current on their payments prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, these modifications are not considered to be troubled debt restructurings pursuant to applicable accounting and regulatory guidance.

Deposits and Borrowings

Deposits totaled $2.0 billion at both December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, compared to $1.8 billion at December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2021, noninterest bearing deposits totaled $710.1 million or 35.8% of total deposits, compared to $733.1 million or 36.5% of total deposits at September 30, 2021, and $678.4 million or 36.9% at December 31, 2020.

At both December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, the Company had outstanding junior subordinated debt, net of market-to-market, related to junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures assumed in connection with its previous acquisitions totaling $8.4 million compared to $8.3 million at December 31, 2020. At both December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, the Company had outstanding subordinated debt, net of costs to issue, totaling $63.5 million compared to $63.4 million at December 31, 2020.

At both December 31, 2021, and September 30, 2021, the Company had no other borrowings outstanding, compared to $5.0 million of FHLB advances outstanding at December 31, 2020.

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity totaled $262.6 million at December 31, 2021, compared to $257.3 million at September 30, 2021, and $252.6 million at December 31, 2020. The increase in shareholders’ equity between each period was primarily due to net income, partially offset by the repurchase of common stock. At December 31, 2021, 742,532 shares remained available for future purchases under the current stock repurchase plan.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles utilized in the United States (“GAAP”), this earnings release contains the tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP financial measure. Tangible common shareholders’ equity is calculated by excluding intangible assets from shareholders’ equity. For this financial measure, the Company’s intangible assets are goodwill and core deposit intangibles. Tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible common shareholders’ equity by the number of common shares outstanding at the end of the period. The Company believes that this measure is consistent with the capital treatment by our bank regulatory agencies, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios and presents this measure to facilitate comparison of the quality and composition of the Company’s capital over time and in comparison to its competitors. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Further, these non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies.

Reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures is presented below.
