(OTCQX: PBAM), (“Company”) and CalPrivate Bank (“Bank”) announced unaudited financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025. The Company reported net income of $10.4 million, or $1.77 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $10.6 million, or $1.80 per diluted share, in the prior quarter, and $7.8 million, or $1.35 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2024.

Rick Sowers, President and CEO of the Company and the Bank stated, “Earnings continue to be strong as a result of improvement in our deposit base and funding costs as well as an industry leading net interest margin.  Although 2025 has been a slower year for loan growth due to economic uncertainty and what we view as unreasonable market loan pricing, we are adding new Relationships across our footprint by delivering Distinctively Different Service and providing Clients with customized Solutions that meet their individual needs. We have onboarded 8 new Relationship focused Team Members this quarter, with more in the pipeline.  We are strong believers in the Southern California market, as demonstrated by our new Santa Barbara County office in Montecito, which we anticipate opening in the third quarter.”

Sowers added, “The Bank's superior financial performance and industry leading service metrics continue to be recognized by industry publications and our Clients. This recognition reinforces our strategic thinking and our dedication to excellence, innovation, delivering Client-focused banking solutions and enhancing shareholder value:

“Management has continued to focus on providing clients with a differentiated superior banking experience while producing industry leading shareholder value creation. Client surveys validate superior service levels while financial results remain in the top tier of banks nationally. Outstanding net interest margin and superior efficiency ratios confirm both the bank’s unique client relationship strategy, calculated decision making, and the effective operating systems that have resulted from our continuous improvement focus through project management, product evaluation, and technology implementation programs. In preparation for a less certain general economic environment, we have continued to invest in people and technology.

In addition, our Team takes pride in continuing to commit their time and the bank’s financial support for non-profits in the communities we serve, in gratitude for these organizations’ outstanding work to strengthen their communities by improving the lives of those they serve,” said Selwyn Isakow, Chairman of the Board of the Company and the Bank.

STATEMENT OF INCOME

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $30.1 million, an increase of $2.4 million or 8.6% from the prior quarter and an increase of $5.4 million or 22.1% from the second quarter of 2024. The increase from the prior quarter was due to a $1.7 million increase in interest income, which included $0.7 million of nonaccrual interest recognized on loans that were fully satisfied through a foreclosure, and a $0.7 million decrease in interest expense, resulting from a 19 basis point reduction in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, primarily driven by a 14 basis point decrease in the cost of total deposits.

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2025 was 4.94%, compared to 4.61% for the prior quarter and 4.48% in the second quarter of 2024. The 33 basis point increase in net interest margin from the prior quarter was primarily due to a higher average yield on loans, which included the effect of an 11 basis point increase in net interest margin due to nonaccrual interest recognized on loans that were fully satisfied through foreclosure, and a decrease in the cost of total funding sources. The yield on interest-earning assets was 6.89% for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 6.70% for the prior quarter, and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.95% for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 3.14% in the prior quarter. The cost of total deposits was 2.08% for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 2.22% in the prior quarter. The cost of core deposits, which excludes brokered deposits, was 1.94% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 1.99% in the prior quarter and 2.28% for the second quarter of 2024. The spot rate for total deposits was 2.04% as of June 30, 2025, compared to 2.11% at March 31, 2025.

Provision for Credit Losses

Provision expense for credit losses for the second quarter of 2025 was $1.3 million, compared to $0.3 million in the prior quarter and $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2024. The provision expense for loans HFI for the second quarter of 2025 was $1.7 million, primarily reflecting a $1.1 million increase in the specific reserve for a nonaccrual loan, as well as quarterly adjustments to CECL model inputs stemming from changes in loan risk ratings and a weakening economic outlook for Southern California. This was offset by a $0.4 million reversal for unfunded commitments due to increased line of credit utilization that resulted in lower unfunded commitment balances. For more details, please refer to the “Asset Quality” section below.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $1.6 million in the prior quarter and $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2024. U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA") loan sales for the second quarter of 2025 were $9.5 million with a 10.01% average trade premium resulting in a net gain on sale of $523 thousand, compared with $8.3 million with a 10.86% average trade premium resulting in a net gain on sale of $469 thousand in the prior quarter.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $15.7 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $14.1 million in the prior quarter and $13.0 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in noninterest expense from the prior quarter is primarily due to higher compensation and benefits costs from continued hiring, including a team of bankers in Montecito, as well as elevated professional services expenses related to expanded loan portfolio reviews performed during the quarter as we proactively manage credit risk and the transition to a new Chief Credit Officer. The efficiency ratio was 49.27% for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 47.90% in the prior quarter and 49.46% in the second quarter of 2024. The slight increase in the efficiency ratio from the prior quarter was due to the increase in noninterest expense.

The Company remains committed to making investments in the business, including technology, marketing, and staffing. Inflationary pressures and low unemployment continue to have an impact on rising wages as well as increased costs related to third party service providers, which we proactively monitor and manage.

Provision for Income Tax Expense

Provision for income tax expense was $4.4 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $4.4 million for the prior quarter. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2025 was 29.7%, compared to 29.5% in the prior quarter and 29.5% in the second quarter of 2024.

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

As of June 30, 2025, total assets were $2.45 billion, a decrease of $28.0 million since March 31, 2025. The decrease in assets from the prior quarter was primarily due to lower cash and due from banks, partially offset by higher investment securities and loans receivable. Our total cash and due from banks decreased to $140.6 million as of June 30, 2025, a decrease of $77.9 million or 35.6% since March 31, 2025, primarily due to purchases of investment securities and a decrease in brokered deposits and borrowings. Investment securities available-for-sale (“AFS”) were $188.8 million as of June 30, 2025, an increase of $32.5 million or 20.8% since March 31, 2025, primarily as a result of new securities purchased. As of June 30, 2025, the net unrealized loss on the AFS investment securities portfolio, which is comprised mostly of US Treasury and Government Agency debt, was $9.0 million (pre-tax) compared to a loss of $10.1 million (pre-tax) as of March 31, 2025. The average duration of the Bank’s AFS portfolio is 3.9 years. The Company has no held-to-maturity securities. Loans HFI totaled $2.08 billion as of June 30, 2025, an increase of $2.4 million or 0.1% since March 31, 2025, primarily due to growth in investor owned commercial real estate ("CRE") and SBA loans, partially offset by decreased construction and commercial and industrial ("C&I") loan balances.

Total deposits were $2.16 billion as of June 30, 2025, a decrease of $29.2 million since March 31, 2025. During the quarter, core deposits increased by $22.0 million, which was driven by a $19.6 million increase in interest-bearing core deposits (including balances in the IntraFi ICS and CDARS programs) and a $2.4 million increase in noninterest-bearing core deposits. The deposit mix has continued to shift due to short-term interest rates remaining elevated compared to recent years. Noninterest-bearing deposits represent 29.0% of total core deposits. Offsetting the increase to total deposits from core deposits, brokered deposits decreased by $51.2 million. Uninsured deposits, net of collateralized and fiduciary deposit accounts, represent 50.6% of total deposits as of June 30, 2025.

As of June 30, 2025, total available liquidity was $2.1 billion or 194.5% of uninsured deposits, net of collateralized and fiduciary deposit accounts. Total available liquidity is comprised of $321 million of on-balance sheet liquidity (cash and investment securities) and $1.8 billion of unused borrowing capacity.

Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses ("ACL")

As of June 30, 2025, the allowance for loan losses was $28.2 million or 1.35% of loans HFI, compared to $26.4 million or 1.27% of loans HFI as of March 31, 2025. The increase in the coverage ratio from March 31, 2025 is due primarily to a $1.1 million increase in the specific reserve for a nonaccrual loan, as well as quarterly adjustments to CECL model inputs stemming from changes in loan risk ratings and a weakening economic outlook for Southern California. The Company continues to have strong credit metrics and its nonperforming assets are 0.66% of total assets as of June 30, 2025 compared to 0.63% as of March 31, 2025. The reserve for unfunded commitments was $0.9 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $1.3 million as of March 31, 2025. The decrease in the reserve for unfunded commitments was due to lower unfunded commitment balances (driven by higher credit line usage). Given the credit quality of the loan portfolio, management believes we are sufficiently reserved.

At June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, there were no doubtful credits and classified assets were $36.2 million and $27.8 million, respectively. Total classified assets consisted of 26 loans as of June 30, 2025, which included 17 loans totaling $22.5 million secured by real estate with total specific reserves of $1.1 million and a weighted average LTV of 56.6%. The remaining 9 loans were $13.7 million of commercial and industrial loans, one of which was an unsecured loan on nonaccrual status with a carrying value of $1.5 million and a specific reserve of $1.0 million (the loan is recorded net of a $1.1 million partial charge off recorded in the first quarter of 2025).

The Bank’s loan portfolio does include assets that are in the affected areas of Los Angeles devastated by wildfires. Of these loans, two relationships with loan balances totaling $34.1 million have been placed on payment deferral.  However, based on assessments performed to date, management does not believe there is a material impact to the financial statements.

The following tables present a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures for: efficiency ratio, pretax pre-provision net revenue, average tangible common equity, and return on average tangible common equity. We believe the presentation of certain non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to assess our consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations and to assist investors in evaluating our financial results relative to our peers. These non-GAAP financial measures complement our GAAP reporting and are presented below to provide investors and others with information that we use to manage the business each period. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should be taken together with the corresponding GAAP measures and should not be considered a substitute of the GAAP measures.
