“I am immensely proud of the Company's third quarter performance, and thank our exceptional team of bankers who are at the heart of this accomplishment,” stated James J. Kim, President and CEO. “Third quarter financial results show a continued and positive trend in loan growth, deposit strength and stability.”

“The strong 42-year foundation of our Company uniquely positions us to invest in our footprint, while prudently navigating uncertain market conditions, inflation, business confidence, and drought conditions,” continued Kim, “Our team has been a valued partner to our clients and communities in addressing these business challenges. Our commitment to them - and to building Company value for the short and long term - is unwavering.”

Quarter Ended September 30, 2022

For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company reported unaudited consolidated net income of $6,384,000 and earnings per diluted common share of $0.55, compared to consolidated net income of $6,521,000 and $0.54 per diluted share for the same period in 2021. The decrease in net income during the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily due to a reversal of provision for credit losses recorded in 2021 versus a provision recorded in 2022. This change resulted in a difference of $1,000,000 year over year. Additionally, net income for the period was affected by an increase in total non-interest expenses of $736,000, and a decrease in non-interest income of $668,000, offset by an increase in net interest income of $1,954,000 and a decrease in the provision for income taxes of $313,000. The effective tax rate decreased to 23.51% from 25.86% for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. Net income for the immediately trailing quarter ended June 30, 2022 was $6,542,000, or $0.56 per diluted common share.

Annualized return on average equity (ROE) for the third quarter of 2022 was 14.42%, compared to 10.41% for the same period of 2021. The increase in ROE reflects a decrease in average shareholders’ equity compared to the prior year. The decrease in shareholders’ equity was primarily driven by an increase in net unrealized loss on available-for-sale (AFS) investment securities, dividends paid, and stock repurchases, offset by the retention of earnings. Annualized return on average assets (ROA) was 1.06% for the third quarter of 2022 compared to 1.13% for the same period in 2021. This decrease was due to a decrease in net income and an increase in average assets.

In comparing the third quarter of 2022 to the third quarter of 2021, total average loans increased by $120,067,000, or 11.22%. This mix includes a decrease of $157,831,000 in PPP loans, and an increase of $277,898,000 in non-PPP loans. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company recorded net loan recoveries of $493,000 compared to $122,000 net loan recoveries for the same period in 2021. The net charge-off (recovery) ratio, which reflects annualized net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans, was less than (0.17)% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to (0.05)% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a provision of $500,000 for credit losses, compared to a reversal of provision of $500,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

The Company’s net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) was 3.57% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to 3.47% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Net interest income, before provision for credit losses, increased $1,954,000, or 10.73%, to $20,164,000 for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $18,210,000 for the same period in 2021. The accretion on loan marks of acquired loans increased interest income by $121,000 and $231,000 during the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Net interest income during the third quarters of 2022 and 2021 benefited by approximately $92,000 and $4,000, respectively, from prepayment penalties and payoff of loans. The net interest margin period-to-period comparisons were impacted by the increase in the yield on the average investment securities, offset by the decrease in the yield on the loan portfolio and the increase in the yield on total interest-bearing liabilities. Over the same periods, the cost of total deposits decreased to 0.04% from 0.05%.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company’s average investment securities, including interest-earning deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold, increased by $42,838,000, or 4.04%, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2021, and decreased by $150,528,000, or 12.02%, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily the result of sales and maturities that occurred late in the second quarter.

The effective yield on average investment securities, including interest earning deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold, was 2.46% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to 2.14% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and 2.58% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Total average loans (including nonaccrual), which generally yield higher rates than investment securities, increased by $120,067,000 to $1,190,022,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, from $1,069,955,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and increased by $103,855,000 from $1,086,167,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, average PPP loans decreased $157,831,000 while average non-PPP loans increased $277,898,000 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The effective yield on average loans was 4.90% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to 4.91% and 4.76% for the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

Total average assets for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 were $2,414,414,000 compared to $2,318,172,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and $2,441,881,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $96,242,000 or 4.15% and a decrease of $27,467,000 or 1.12%, respectively.

Total average deposits increased $126,133,000, or 6.24%, to $2,147,632,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to $2,021,499,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, and decreased $10,108,000, or 0.47%, compared to $2,157,740,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The Company’s ratio of average non-interest bearing deposits to total deposits was 48.50% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to 45.30% and 43.92% for the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

At September 30, 2022, the allowance for credit losses was $10,366,000, compared to $9,600,000 at December 31, 2021, a net increase of $766,000 reflecting a provision of $500,000 and net recoveries during the period. The Company is not required to implement the provisions of the CECL accounting standard until January 1, 2023, and is continuing to account for the allowance for credit losses under the incurred loss model. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.85% and 0.92% as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Total loans include loans acquired in the acquisitions of Folsom Lake Bank on October 1, 2017, Sierra Vista Bank on October 1, 2016 and Visalia Community Bank on July 1, 2013 that, at their respective acquisition dates, were recorded at fair value and did not have a related allowance for credit losses.

The recorded value of acquired loans totaled $79,232,000 at September 30, 2022 and $93,201,000 at December 31, 2021. Excluding these acquired loans from the calculation, the allowance for credit losses to total gross loans was 0.90% and 1.01% as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and general reserves associated with non-impaired loans to total non-impaired loans was 0.87% and 0.98%, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, gross loans included $350,000 related to PPP loans, which are fully guaranteed by the SBA as compared to $18,553,000 at December 31, 2021. Excluding PPP loans and the acquired loans from the calculation, the allowance for credit losses to total gross loans was 0.90% and 1.04% as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company believes the allowance for credit losses is adequate to provide for probable incurred credit losses within the loan portfolio at September 30, 2022.

The composition of the deposits at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is summarized in the table below:

(Dollars in thousands) September 30, 2022 % of<br>Total<br>Deposits December 31, 2021 % of<br>Total<br>Deposits

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased 11.83%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, driven by a provision for credit losses, a decrease in loan placement fees, an increase in the net realized loss on sales of investment securities, partially offset by an increase in service charge income, and a decrease in the provision for income taxes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a $500,000 provision for credit losses, compared to a $3,800,000 reversal of provision during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $57,571,000, compared to $53,846,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $3,725,000 or 6.92%. The impact to interest income from the accretion of the loan marks on acquired loans was $445,000 and $579,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. In addition, net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was impacted by approximately $562,000 in loan prepayment penalties, as compared to $438,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Excluding the loan mark accretion and prepayment penalties, net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $3,735,000 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $5,817,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $7,227,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The effective tax rate for the nine

months ended September 30, 2022 was 23.43% compared to 25.10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The effective tax rate was impacted by the increase in tax-exempt interest, as well as an increase in income from the appreciation in cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company’s shareholders’ equity decreased $89,031,000, or 35.92%, compared to December 31, 2021. The decrease in shareholders’ equity was driven by the adverse change in the unrealized position on available-for-sale (AFS) investment securities, and share repurchases, offset by the retention of earnings, net of dividends paid.

Return on average equity (ROE) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 12.98%, compared to 11.60% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in ROE reflects the decrease in average shareholders’ equity compared to the prior year. The Company declared and paid $0.36 and $0.35 per share in cash dividends to holders of common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Return on average assets (ROA) was 1.04% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 1.30% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease was due to the decrease in net income and an increase in average assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company’s total assets decreased 1.00%, and total liabilities increased 2.93%, compared to December 31, 2021.

Non-performing assets decreased by $695,000, or 73.47%, to $251,000 at September 30, 2022, compared to $946,000 at December 31, 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded $766,000 in net loan recoveries, compared to $946,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The net charge-off (recovery) ratio, which reflects annualized net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans, was (0.09)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to (0.12)% for the same period in 2021. Total non-performing assets were 0.01% and 0.04% of total assets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The Company’s net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) was 3.42% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to 3.60% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in net interest margin in the period-to-period comparison resulted from the decrease in the yield on the Company’s loan portfolio, and an increase in the balance of average interest-earning assets.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the effective yield on average total earning assets decreased 12 basis points to 3.54% compared to 3.66% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, while the cost of average total interest-bearing liabilities increased to 0.22% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to 0.11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Over the same periods, the cost of average total deposits decreased to 0.04% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 0.05% for the same period in 2021.
