ITEM 2.02 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
On January 26, 2023, the Company issued a press release announcing results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Press Release”). A copy of the Press Release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The Press Release contains the non-GAAP measure Core Net Income. The Company believes that the presentation of that non-GAAP measure provides useful information for the understanding of its ongoing operations and, thereby, enhances an investor’s overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance relative to past performance and provides, along with the nearest GAAP measures, a baseline for modeling future expectations. The non-GAAP measure is reconciled to the comparable GAAP financial measure in the financial tables within the Press Release. The Company cautions that the non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported GAAP results. Additionally, the Company notes that there can be no assurance that the above referenced non-GAAP financial measure is comparable to similarly titled financial measures used by other companies.
The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and the Press Release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

United Security Bancshares Reports 2022 Net Income of $15.7 Million
FRESNO, CA - January 26, 2023. United Security Bancshares (Nasdaq: UBFO) today announced its unaudited financial results for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company recognized net income of $15.7 million, or $0.92 per basic and diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to net income of $10.1 million, or $0.59 per basic and diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Fourth Quarter 2022 Highlights (at or for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, except where noted)
▪Net income for the quarter increased 58.5% to $5.3 million, compared to $3.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, and increased 19.6% from $4.5 million for the trailing quarter ended September 30, 2022. Loan interest income increased $3.5 million and investment securities income increased $849,000 as a result of growth in loan and investment securities portfolio balances and increases in interest rates, when compared to the fourth quarter of 2021.
▪Total assets decreased 2.4% to $1.30 billion, compared to $1.33 billion at December 31, 2021.
▪Total loans, net of unearned fees, increased to $980.2 million, compared to $871.5 million at December 31, 2021 and $962.2 million at September 30, 2022.
▪Total investments increased 15.4% to $210.9 million, compared to $182.6 million at December 31, 2021.
▪Total deposits decreased 1.9% to $1.17 billion, compared to $1.19 billion at December 31, 2021.
▪The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of gross loans decreased to 1.04%, compared to 1.07% at December 31, 2021. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of gross loans is primarily the result of a change in loan mix resulting from purchases of residential mortgage loans during the year.
▪Net interest income before the provision for credit losses increased 43.8% to $13.5 million, compared to $9.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. For the trailing quarter ended September 30, 2022, net interest income before the provision for credit losses was $12.7 million.
▪The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $585,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to a provision for credit losses of $453,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2021.
▪Book value per share decreased to $6.59, compared to $7.06 at December 31, 2021 primarily as a result of an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to unrealized losses within the investment portfolio.
▪Net interest margin increased to 4.44% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to 3.08% and 3.95% for the quarters ended December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022, respectively.
▪Annualized average cost of deposits was 0.22% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, and 0.17% for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. For the trailing quarter ended September 30, 2022, the annualized average cost of deposit was 0.22%.
▪Net charge-offs totaled $465,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 , compared to net charge-offs of $265,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and $451,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
▪Capital position remains well-capitalized with a 10.10% Tier 1 Leverage Ratio compared to 9.79% as of December 31, 2021.
▪Annualized return on average assets (“ROAA”) increased to 1.57%, compared to 1.03% and 1.28% for the quarters ended December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022, respectively. The increase in ROAA is due to increase in net income outpacing the increase in average assets.
▪Annualized return on average equity (“ROAE”) increased to 19.24%, compared to 11.21% and 15.61% for the quarters ended December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022, respectively.
Dennis Woods, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: “We continued our positive earnings momentum in the fourth quarter as we again posted increased earnings when compared to prior quarter and fourth quarter 2021 results. Core net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, which is a non-GAAP measure, grew 66% over the prior year as a result of the successful execution of our 2021 and 2022 cash deployment strategies and the continued increase in interest rates. Our credit quality, capital, and liquidity levels remain strong and position us well for potential economic headwinds over the coming quarters.”
Provided at the end of this Press Release is a reconciliation of Core Net Income, as a non-GAAP measure, to Net Income. This reconciliation excludes Non-Core items such as the Fair Value Adjustment for Trust Preferred Securities (TRUPs) and gain or loss on sale of other real estate owned (OREO). Management believes that financial results are more comparative excluding the impact of such non-core items.
Results of Operations
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased 55.3% to $15.7 million, compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase is primarily the result of increases of $7.9 million in loan interest income and fees, and $2.3 million in investment income, partially offset by a $1.9 million increase in the loss on the fair value of junior subordinated debentures and an increase of $3.2 million in the provision for income taxes. ROAE for the year ended December 31, 2022 was 13.75%, compared to 8.47% for the year ended December 31, 2021. ROAA was 1.16% for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to 0.82% for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The annualized average cost of deposits was 0.23% for the year ended ended December 31, 2022 and 0.17% for the year ended December 31, 2021. Average interest-bearing deposits increased 12.1% between the periods ended December 31, 2021 and 2022 from $649.2 million to $728.1 million.
Net interest income, before the provision for credit losses, for the year ended December 31, 2022 totaled $46.1 million, an increase of $10.4 million, or 29.2%, from the $35.7 million reported for the same period ended December 31, 2021. The impact of the Company’s 2021 and 2022 cash deployment strategies, which included over $350 million in investment securities purchases and mortgage loan purchases, are reflected in the increase in net interest income. The Company’s net interest margin increased from 3.16% for the year ended December 31, 2021 to 3.69% for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in the net interest margin is due to increases in yields on investment securities, yields on loans, and yields on interest-bearing deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank, partially offset by increases in average deposit costs. Loan yields increased from 4.51% to 4.66% between the two periods. The yield on interest-bearing liabilities increased from 0.31% to 0.43% between the two periods. Included in interest income for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $129,000 in fees related to Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program loans, compared to $920,000 for the same period ended December 31, 2021.
Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2022 totaled $1.8 million, a decrease of $1.5 million when compared to the $3.4 million reported for the year ended December 31, 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2022, a loss on the fair value of TRUPs of $2.5 million was recorded, compared to a loss of $660,000 for the same period in 2021. The change in the fair value of TRUPs reflected in noninterest income was caused by fluctuations in the LIBOR yield curve. Generally, an increase in the three month LIBOR yield curve will result in negative fair value adjustments. Conversely, a decrease in the three month LIBOR yield curve will result in positive fair value adjustments. Customer service fees totaled $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 and $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Also included in noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $566,000 in nonrecurring income received from The Central Valley Fund II (SBIC), Limited Partnership.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, noninterest expense totaled $24.0 million, an increase of $424,000 compared to $23.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. On a year-over-year comparative basis, noninterest expense increased due to increases of $486,000 in professional fees, $121,000 in data processing expense, and $120,000 in salaries and employee benefits, and was partially offset by a decrease of $199,000 in the provision for unfunded loans and a decrease of $154,000 in costs related to other real-estate owned.
The efficiency ratio for the year ended December 31, 2022 decreased to 49.8%, compared to 60.3% for the year ended December 31, 2021. This decrease is attributed to revenue growth, as well as the $566,000 in noninterest income from the investment in the limited partnership received during 2022.
The Company recorded an income tax provision of $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 2021. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2022 was 28.89%, compared to 24.16% for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Quarter Ended December 31, 2022:
For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, the Company reported net income of $5.3 million and earnings per basic and diluted share of $0.31, compared to net income of $3.4 million and $0.20 per basic and diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2021. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was $4.5 million and $0.26 per basic and diluted share.
Net interest income, before the provision for credit losses was $13.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, representing a $4.1 million, or 43.8%, increase from the $9.4 million reported at December 31, 2021. The increase in net interest income was driven primarily by growth in the loan and investment portfolios. The Company’s net interest margin increased from 3.08% to 4.44% between the quarters ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The increase in the net interest margin was due to increases in yields on loans, investment securities, and interest-bearing deposits at
the FRB, partially offset by increases in deposit costs. Net interest income after the provision for credit losses during the quarter ended December 31, 2022 increased to $12.9 million, or 44.5%, from the $8.9 million reported during the quarter ended December 31, 2021.
Noninterest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 totaled $1,049,000, a decrease of $242,000 from the $1,291,000 reported for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. The decrease is primarily attributed to $303,000 in income from an investment in a limited partnership recorded during the fourth quarter of 2021. Customer service fees totaled $699,000 for both the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and the quarter ended December 31, 2022. Noninterest income increased $657,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 from the $392,000 reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. This was primarily due to a decrease in the loss on the fair value of junior subordinated debentures of $536,000 which was partially offset by a decrease in customer service fees of $200,000.
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 totaled $6.43 million, reflecting a $150,000 increase from the $6.28 million reported for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, and a $221,000 increase from the $6.2 million reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The increase between the quarters ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was partially the result of increases of $133,000 in salaries and employee benefits and $84,000 in occupancy expense, and was partially offset by a decrease of $114,000 in costs related to other real-estate owned and $33,000 in regulatory assessments. The increase between the quarters ended December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022 resulted partially from increases of $73,000 in the provision for unfunded loans, $77,000 in salaries and employee benefits, and $48,000 in regulatory assessment.
The Company recorded an income tax provision of $2.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to $0.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, and $1.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 was 28.9%, compared to 14.3% and 29.1% for the quarters ended December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022, respectively.
Balance Sheet Review
Total assets decreased $31.8 million, or 2.4%, between December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022. Gross loan balances and investment securities increased $112.5 million and $28.2 million, respectively, and were offset by decreases in overnight balances held at the Federal Reserve Bank of $181.2 million. Included in the loan growth were purchases of $61.8 million in residential mortgage loans during the year. In addition, organic growth in commercial real estate of $67.5 million and commercial and industrial of $19.5 million, partly offset by reductions in real estate construction, agricultural, and student loan portfolios contributed to the loan growth. Investment portfolio growth included purchases of $91.4 million in investment securities, partially offset by $15.1 million in sales of securities, $19.0 million in paydowns, and $26.7 million in unrealized losses. In part, as a result of the loan and investment activity, total cash and cash equivalents decreased $180.6 million between December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022. Unfunded loan commitments decreased from $239.1 million at December 31, 2021 to $190.2 million at December 31, 2022. OREO balances totaled $4.6 million at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022.
Total deposits decreased $22.6 million, or 1.9%, to $1.2 billion during the year ended December 31, 2022. This was due to decreases of $27.5 million in interest bearing deposits offset by increases of $4.9 million in noninterest bearing deposits. Savings accounts increased $12.0 million, NOW and money market accounts decreased $30.0 million, and time deposits decreased $9.5 million. In total, NOW, money market and savings accounts decreased 2.8% to $625.8 million at December 31, 2022, compared to $643.8 million at December 31, 2021. Noninterest bearing deposits increased 1.0% to $481.6 million at December 31, 2022, compared to $476.7 million at December 31, 2021. Core deposits, which are made up of the balance of noninterest bearing deposits, NOW, money market, savings, and time deposits accounts less than $250,000, decreased $16.8 million.
Shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2022 totaled $112.5 million, a decrease of $7.7 million from $120.2 million at December 31, 2021. This decrease in equity was primarily attributed to an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $16.3 million and $7.5 million in dividends paid, partially offset by $15.7 million in net income. At December 31, 2022, the accumulated other comprehensive loss totaled $17.5 million, compared to $1.2 million at December 31, 2021. The increase in the loss was primarily the result of net unrealized losses on investment securities of $19.1 million and was partially offset by a $2.1 million gain on junior subordinated debentures (TRUPs) caused by a change in market credit spreads during the year ended December 31, 2022. The change in unrealized loss on the investment portfolio is attributed to changes in interest rates, and not credit quality. The Company does not intend to sell and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell any securities that have an unrealized loss.
The Board of Directors of United Security Bancshares declared a cash dividend on common stock of $0.11 per share on December 20, 2022. The dividend was paid on January 19, 2023, to shareholders of record as of January 4, 2023. No assurances can be provided as to the amount and/or declaration and payment of future dividends, if any. The Company continues to be well capitalized and expects to maintain adequate capital levels.
Credit Quality
The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Net loan charge-offs totaled $952,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $1,297,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The provision recorded during 2022 is primarily attributed to net charge-offs in the student loan portfolio in addition to qualitative adjustments related to economic factors. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the provision recorded was attributed to growth of the loan portfolio, agricultural loan downgrades, and net charge-offs recognized in the student loan portfolio.
The Company’s allowance for loan losses totaled 1.04% of the loan portfolio at December 31, 2022, compared to 1.07% at December 31, 2021. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of gross loans is primarily the result of a change in loan mix resulting from purchases of residential mortgage loans during 2022. The reserve required on the residential mortgage loan segment is lower than reserves required for other loan segments due to lower historical losses. Management considers the allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2022 to be adequate.
Non-performing assets, comprised of nonaccrual loans, troubled debt restructures (TDRs), other real estate owned through foreclosure, and loans more than 90 days past due and still accruing interest, increased $2,870,000 between December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022 to $19.5 million. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets increased from 1.25% at December 31, 2021 to 1.50% at December 31, 2022. This period increase in nonperforming assets is attributed to increases of $3,106,000 in nonaccrual loans, offset by decreases of $201,000 in loans past due more than 90 days. OREO balances remained at $4.6 million at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022.
