“During the 2022 fourth quarter, we successfully executed several key strategic plans of expanding our branch network in Texas by opening a full service branch in Carrollton to complement our Dallas branch that opened in September 2022, maintaining our exceptional credit quality by being proactive with our borrowers, and actively continuing our stock repurchase program.”

(1)Total funding is the sum of interest-bearing liabilities and noninterest-bearing deposits. The cost of total funding is calculated as annualized total interest expense divided by average total funding.

Loans. The increases in average yield for the current quarter and year were primarily due to an increase in overall interest rates on loans from the rising interest rate environment, partially offset by a decrease in net amortization of deferred loan fees from the decreased amount of SBA PPP loan payoffs.

The following table presents a composition of total loans by interest rate type accompanied with the weighted-average contractual rates as of the dates indicated:

Variable rate loans 37.7 % 7.86 % 38.0 % 6.75 % 42.5 % 3.95 %

Investment Securities. The increases in average yield for the current quarter and year were primarily due to a decrease in net amortization of premiums on mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations and higher yield on newly purchased investment securities.

Other Interest-Earning Assets. The increases in average yield for the current quarter and year were primarily due to an increased interest rate on cash held at the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) account. The increases in average balance for the current quarter and year compared with the same periods of 2021 were primarily due to an increase in average balance of deposits and the Emergency Capital Investment Program (“ECIP”) capital investment, partially offset by an increase in loans. The Company maintains most of its cash at the FRB account.

Interest-Bearing Deposits. The increases in average cost for the current quarter and year were primarily due to an increase in market rates.

Provision (reversal) for Loan Losses

Provision (reversal) for loan losses was $1.1 million for the current quarter compared with $3.8 million for the previous quarter and $(1.5) million for the year-ago quarter. For the current and previous years, provision (reversal) for loan losses was $3.6 million and $(4.6) million, respectively. The additional provision for loan losses for the current quarter was primarily due to an increase in gross loan balance. For the current year, the additional provision for loan losses was primarily due to an increase in gross loan balance and changes in qualitative adjustment factors related to current economic conditions.

The Company recorded net charge-offs (recoveries) of $(32) thousand for the current quarter compared with $1.1 million for the previous quarter and $(36) thousand for the year-ago quarter. For the current and previous years, the Company recorded net charge-offs (recoveries) of $1.0 million and $(467) thousand, respectively.

Adjusted Allowance to loans held-for-investment ratio(1) was 1.22%, 1.21% and 1.34% at December 31, 2022, September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.


(1)     Adjusted Allowance to loans held-for-investment ratio is a non-GAAP measure, which excludes SBA PPP loans from loans held-for-investment. See “Non-GAAP Measures” for reconciliation of this measure to its most comparable GAAP measure.

Salaries and Employee Benefits. The decrease for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to decreases in bonus and vacation accruals, and incentives tied to the sales of Loan Production Offices (“LPO”) originated SBA loans, partially offset by a decrease in loan origination cost, which offsets the recognition of salaries. The increases for the current quarter and year compared with the same periods of 2021 were primarily due to increases in salaries and other employee benefit expense from the increased number of employees and a decrease in loan origination cost, partially offset by a decrease the incentives tied to sales of LPO originated SBA loans.

Total loan origination cost included in salaries and employee benefits were $345 thousand, $488 thousand and $435 thousand for the current, previous and year-ago quarters, respectively, and $1.7 million and $2.2 million for the current and previous years, respectively. The Company recognized a higher loan origination cost for the previous year primarily due to the SBA PPP loan production in the first quarter of 2021. The number of full-time equivalent employees was 272, 274 and 248 as of December 31, 2022, September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Occupancy and Equipment. The increases for the current quarter and year were primarily due to new branch openings. The Company opened 3 new full-service branches in Dallas and Carrollton, Texas and Palisades Park, New Jersey during the current year.

Professional Fees. The increases for the current quarter and year were primarily due to the additional legal expenses associated with the on-going legal matters related to the 2021 Network and Data Incident, partially offset by a decrease in internal audit fees.

Marketing and Business Promotion. The increases for the current year was primarily due to increases in marketing activities and advertisement for the Bank's name change to PCB Bank and new branch openings.

Director Fees and Expenses. The increases for the current quarter and year compared with the same periods of 2021 were primarily due to a new director appointed during the fourth quarter of 2021.

Other Expense. The increases for the current quarter and year compared with the same periods of 2021 were primarily due to an increase in office expense for the new branches. The decrease for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to a legal settlement of $150 thousand for the previous quarter.

Balance Sheet (Unaudited)

Total assets were $2.42 billion at December 31, 2022, an increase of $93.0 million, or 4.0%, from $2.33 billion at September 30, 2022 and an increase of $270.3 million, or 12.6%, from $2.15 billion at December 31, 2021. The increase for the current quarter was primarily due to increases in cash and cash equivalents, securities available-for-sale, loans held-for-sale and loans held-for-investment. The increase for the current year was primarily due to increases in loans held-for-investment and securities available-for-sale, partially offset by decreases in cash and cash equivalents and loans held-for-sale.

Investment Securities

Total investment securities were $141.9 million at December 31, 2022, an increase of $12.5 million, or 9.6%, from $129.4 million at September 30, 2022 and an increase of $18.7 million, or 15.2%, from $123.2 million at December 31, 2021.

The increase for the current year was primarily due to purchases of $57.4 million, partially offset by principal pay-downs and calls of $23.2 million, a fair value decrease of $15.1 million and net premium amortization of $367 thousand.

Deposits

The following table presents the Company’s deposit mix as of the dates indicated:

12/31/2022 9/30/2022 12/31/2021

Total deposits $ 2,045,983 100.0 % $ 1,978,098 100.0 % $ 1,867,134 100.0 %

The decrease in noninterest-bearing demand deposits was primarily due to strong deposit market competition and the migration of noninterest-bearing demand deposits to money market accounts and time deposits attributable to the rising market rates. To remain competitive in this rising interest rate environment, the Bank started to offer higher rates on deposit products to retain and attract new customers.

The increase in retail time deposits for the current quarter was primarily due to new accounts of $384.5 million, renewals of the matured accounts of $122.6 million and balance increases of $7.6 million, partially offset by matured and closed accounts of $341.6 million. The increase for the current year was primarily due to new accounts of $636.7 million, renewals of the matured accounts of $602.9 million and balance increases of $23.4 million, partially offset by matured and closed accounts of $1.04 billion.

ECIP investment is treated as tier 1 capital for regulatory capital purposes.

The Series C Preferred Stock bears no dividend for the first 24 months following the investment date. Thereafter, the dividend rate will be adjusted based on the lending growth criteria listed in the terms of the ECIP investment with an annual dividend rate up to 2%. After the tenth anniversary of the investment date, the dividend rate will be fixed based on average annual amount of lending in years 2 through 10.

Capital Ratios

Based on changes to the Federal Reserve’s definition of a “Small Bank Holding Company” that increased the threshold to $3 billion in assets in August 2018, the Company is not currently subject to separate minimum capital measurements. At such time as the Company reaches the $3 billion asset level, it will again be subject to capital measurements independent of the Bank. For comparison purposes, the Company’s ratios are included in following discussion. The following table presents capital ratios for the Company and the Bank as of the dates indicated:

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted allowance for loan losses to loans held-for-investment ratio

Adjusted Allowance to loans held-for-investment ratio is calculated by removing SBA PPP loans from loans held-for-investment from the Allowance to loans held-for-investment ratio calculation. The SBA launched the PPP to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The SBA guarantees 100% of the PPP loans made to eligible borrowers, and the loans are eligible to be forgiven if certain conditions are met, at which point the SBA will make payments to the Bank for the forgiven amounts. The SBA guarantee on PPP loans cannot be separated from the loan and therefore is not a separate unit of account. The Company considered the SBA guarantee in the Allowance evaluation and determined that it is not required to reserve an Allowance on SBA PPP loans. Management believes this non-GAAP measure enhances comparability to prior periods and provide supplemental information regarding the Company’s credit trends. This disclosure should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. The following tables provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP measure with financial measure defined by GAAP.

Adjusted Allowance to HFI Loans Ratio Adjusted allowance to HFI loans ratio is a non-GAAP measure that we use to enhance comparability to prior periods and provide supplemental information regarding the Company’s credit trends. We calculate adjusted allowance to HFI loan ratio as allowance divided by loans held-for-investment excluding SBA PPP loans. The SBA launched the PPP to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The SBA guarantees 100% of the PPP loans made to eligible borrowers, and the loans are eligible to be forgiven if certain conditions are met, at which point the SBA will make payments to the Bank for the forgiven amounts. The SBA guarantee on PPP loans cannot be separated from the loan and therefore is not a separate unit of account. The Company considered the SBA guarantee in the allowance for loan losses evaluation and determined that it is not required to reserve an allowance on SBA PPP loans. Core Deposits Core Deposits are a non-GAAP measure that we use to measure the portion of our total deposits that are thought to be more stable, lower cost and reprice less frequently on average in a rising rate environment. We calculate core deposits as total deposits less time deposits greater than $250,000 and brokered deposits. Management tracks its core deposits because management believes it is a useful measure to help assess the Company’s deposit base and, among other things, potential volatility therein. PTPP Income, and Adjusted ROAA, ROAE and Diluted EPS for PTPP PTPP income, and adjusted ROAA, ROAE and Diluted EPS are non-GAAP measures that we use to measure the Company’s performance and believe these presentations provide useful supplemental information, and a clearer understanding of the Company’s performance. We calculated PTPP income as net income excluding income tax provision and provision for loan losses. Management believes the non-GAAP measures enhance investors’ understanding of the Company’s business and performance. These measures are also useful in understanding performance trends and facilitate comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. The limitations associated with operating measures are the risk that persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items comprising these measures and that different companies might calculate these measures differently ROATCE, TCE Per Share and TCE to Total Assets ROATCE, TCE per share and TCE to total assets measures that we use to measure the Company’s performance. We calculated TCE as total shareholders’ equity excluding preferred stock. Management believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful supplemental information, and a clearer understanding of the Company’s performance. 25

PCB Bancorp Announces Amendment to Stock Repurchase Plan

Los Angeles, California - January 26, 2023 - PCB Bancorp (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PCB), the holding company of PCB Bank, announced that on January 26, 2023, its Board of Directors approved an amendment (the “Repurchase Program Amendment”) to its current repurchase program that was approved and announced on July 28, 2022. The original repurchase program authorized the repurchase of up to 5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of the date of the board meeting, which represented 747,938 shares, through February 1, 2023. The Repurchase Program Amendment extends the expiration date from February 1, 2023 to February 1, 2024. As of January 26, 2023, the Company repurchased and retired 416,275 shares of its common stock, leaving an aggregate of 331,663 shares in authorized repurchase authority that is the subject of the Repurchase Program Amendment.

Under the stock repurchase program, the Company may purchase shares of its common stock through various means such as open market transactions, including block purchases, and privately negotiated transactions. The number of shares repurchased and the timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined at the Company’s discretion. Factors include, but are not limited to, stock price, trading volume and general market conditions, along with the Company’s general business conditions. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not obligate the company to acquire any specific number of shares of its common stock.

As part of the stock repurchase program, the Company intends to enter into a trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The 10b5-1 trading plan would permit common stock to be repurchased at a time that the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws or self-imposed trading restrictions. The 10b5-1 trading plan will be administered by an independent broker and will be subject to price, market volume and timing restrictions.
