Earnings

Net interest income increased $570,000, or 2.6%, to $22.9 million for the third quarter of 2024 from $22.3 million in the prior quarter, and decreased $1.9 million, or 7.8%, from $24.8 million in the same quarter a year ago. The increase in net interest income from the previous quarter reflects an increase in interest income on loans and a minimal increase in interest income on investment securities, partially offset by a decrease in interest income on fed funds sold and interest-bearing balances in banks and an increase in interest expense on deposits. The decrease in net interest income from the same quarter in 2023 reflects an increase in interest expense on deposits and a decrease in interest income on loans, partially offset by increases in interest income on federal funds sold and interest-bearing balances in banks, interest income on investment securities and dividends on FHLB stock. Average interest-earning assets increased $8.5 million, or 0.35%, and decreased $3.0 million, or 0.12%, for the third quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2024 and the third quarter of 2023, respectively. The average yield earned (annualized) on interest earning assets for the third quarter of 2024 was 5.45%, compared to 5.37% for the second quarter of 2024 and 5.34% for the third quarter of 2023. The average rate paid (annualized) on interest-bearing liabilities for the third quarter of 2024 was 2.62%, compared to 2.54% for the second quarter of 2024, and 2.04% for the third quarter of 2023. The increases in average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities for the third quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2024 and the same quarter a year ago reflect rising market interest rates.

Interest income on loans, including fees, increased $1.2 million, or 4.9%, to $26.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $25.0 million for the prior quarter, primarily due to a $27.2 million increase in the average balance of loans and a 12 basis point increase in the average loan yield. Interest income on loans, including fees, decreased $997,000, or 3.7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $27.2 million for three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to a $105.3 million decrease in the average balance of loans, partially offset by a 11 basis point increase in the average loan yield. The average balance of loans was $1.9 billion for both the third quarter and second quarter of 2024, compared to $2.0 billion for the third quarter of 2023. The average yield on loans was 5.53% for the third quarter of 2024, compared to 5.41% for the second quarter of 2024 and 5.42% for the third quarter of 2023. The increase in the average yield on loans from the second quarter of 2024 and the third quarter of 2023 was due to the impact of increased rates on variable rate loans, as well as new loans being originated at higher market interest rates.

Interest income on loans included $114,000 in amortization of the net discount on acquired loans for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $124,000, and $372,000 in accretion of the net discount on acquired loans for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. The balance of the net discounts on these acquired loans totaled $449,000, $540,000, and $419,000 at September 30, 2024, June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, respectively. Interest income included fees related to prepayment penalties of $12,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $70,000 and $142,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.

Interest income on investment securities increased $212,000, or 9.7%, to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and increased $689,000, or 40.4%, from $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The average yield on investment securities increased 10 basis points to 4.60% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 4.50% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and increased 59 basis points from 4.01% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increases in average yield were due to higher market interest rates on newly purchased securities. The average balance of investment securities totaled $207.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $195.1 million and $168.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. In addition, during the third quarter of 2024, we received $393,000 in cash dividends on our FRB and FHLB stock, down slightly from $395,000 in the second quarter of 2024 and up from $376,000 in the third quarter of 2023.

Interest income on federal funds sold and interest-bearing balances in banks decreased $405,000, or 8.4%, to $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and increased $893,000, or 25.4%, from $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as a result of changes in the average yield and average balance. The average yield on federal funds sold and interest-bearing balances in banks decreased four basis point to 5.43% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 5.47% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and increased five basis points from 5.38% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The average balance of federal funds sold and interest-bearing balance in banks totaled $323.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $354.3 million and $259.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. The decrease in average balance during the current quarter compared to the prior quarter was due to funding of new loan originations in the current quarter. The increase in average balance during the current quarter compared to the same quarter one year ago was due to higher retained cash balances as a result of lower new loan production during 2023 and the first half of 2024.

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased $450,000, or 4.5%, to $10.6 million, compared to $10.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and increased $2.5 million, or 31.7%, compared to $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, reflecting higher funding costs primarily related to increased rates of interest on our deposits due to higher market rates. The average balance of deposits totaled $2.1 billion for the third quarter of 2024 and second quarter of 2024, compared to $2.2 billion for the third quarter of 2023. The average cost of funds for the third quarter of 2024 was 2.62%, compared to 2.54% for the second quarter of 2024 and 2.04% for the third quarter of 2023. The increase in the average cost of funds during the current quarter compared to the prior quarter of 2024 and the third quarter of 2023 was due to higher interest rates paid on money market and time deposits due to increased competition and pricing pressures and a change in deposit mix due to a shift of deposits from noninterest-bearing accounts to higher costing money market and time deposits. The average cost of deposits for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was 1.75%, compared to 1.69% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and 1.27% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The average balance of noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $4.6 million, or 0.74%, to $615.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $620.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and decreased $58.9 million, or 8.7%, compared to $674.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Annualized net interest margin was 3.73% for the third quarter of 2024, compared to 3.69% for the second quarter of 2024 and 4.03% for the third quarter of 2023. The average yield on interest earning assets for the third quarter of 2024 increased eight basis points and 11 basis points over the average yields for the second quarter of 2024 and the third quarter of 2023, respectively, while the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities for third quarter of 2024 increased eight basis points and 58 basis points over the average rates paid for the second quarter of 2024 and the third quarter of 2023, respectively. Net interest margin in the third quarter of 2024 as compared to the second quarter of 2024 was positively impacted by the average yield on interest earning assets, and as compared to the third quarter of 2023 was negatively impacted by increasing funding costs, which outpaced, on a percentage basis, increasing yields on loans and investment securities. Accretion of the net discount had minimal to no impact on the average yield on loans during the third quarter of 2024, the second quarter of 2024 and the third quarter of 2023.

The Company recorded a $1.2 million provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2024, compared to provision for credit losses of $171,000 and $674,000 for the second quarter of 2024 and the third quarter of 2023, respectively. The provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2024 was mainly driven by increased quantitative loss rates due to changes in forecasted economic conditions, replenishment of the allowance due to charge-offs, and an increase in provision for credit losses for unfunded commitments. The increase in the provision for credit loss for unfunded commitments of $390,000, was due to a one new $9.5 million construction commitment and increased quantitative loss rates. Net charge-offs totaled $1.5 million during the third quarter of 2024, which included a $1.0 million complete charge-off on a commercial non-accrual loan, which was fully reserved for at June 30, 2024, a $480,000 complete charge-off of a non-accrual commercial real estate loan, which was sold during the quarter, and a complete write-down of one non-accrual farmland loan for $88,000, partially offset by two recoveries totaling $50,000 during the current quarter. The quantitative reserve was impacted by declines in forecasted economic conditions for national gross domestic product and increasing forecasted national unemployment, both of which are key indicators utilized to estimate credit losses.

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2024 increased $1.3 million, or 85.1%, to $2.7 million compared to $1.5 million for the prior quarter of 2024, and increased $1.1 million, or 66.0%, compared to $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2023. The increase in noninterest income for the current quarter compared to the prior quarter of 2024 was primarily due to a $1.7 million increase in gain on equity securities as a result of positive fair value adjustments on these securities due to changes in market conditions, a $164,000 increase in service charges and other fees and an $85,000 increase in other income and fees, partially offset by a $287,000 decrease in gain on sale of loans due to no SBA loan sales in the current quarter, a $324,000 decrease in income on investment in a Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) fund due to losses in the underlying fund, and a $117,000 decrease in loan servicing fees and other fees due to lower servicing fee income. The increase in noninterest income for the current quarter compared to the same quarter in 2023 was primarily due to a $1.7 million increase in gain on equity securities, partially offset by a $478,000 decrease in income on an investment in SBIC fund, a $107,000 decrease in loan servicing fees and other fees due to lower loan origination volume, a $75,000 decrease in service charges and other fees primarily due to fewer customer deposits placed in Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) and Insured Cash Sweep (“ICS”) money market product services via the IntraFi Network and a $28,000 decrease in gain on sale of loans.

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2024 increased $62,000, or 0.4%, to $16.1 million compared to $16.0 million for the prior quarter of 2024, and decreased $445,000, or 2.7%, compared to $16.5 million for the third quarter of 2023. The increase in noninterest expense for current quarter compared to the prior quarter of 2024 was primarily due to a $323,000 increase in data processing expense due to newly implemented services and vendor data processing invoice credits in the second quarter of 2024, with no similar credits in the current quarter, and a $76,000 increase in occupancy and equipment expense due to higher depreciation and property maintenance expense, partially offset by a $73,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits as a result of a decrease in the number of full-time equivalent employees, and a $264,000 decrease in other expense due to increased legal costs and fraudulent check losses recorded in the second quarter of 2024, with no similar activity in the current quarter. The decrease in noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023 was primarily due to a $715,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits as a result of decrease in full-time equivalent employees and lower incentive accruals due to lower loan production, partially offset by a $199,000 increase in data processing expense due to newly implemented services and a $76,000 increase in occupancy and equipment expense.

The provision for income taxes increased $279,000, or 14.0%, to $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2024 and decreased $366,000, or 13.9%, from $2.6 million for the third quarter of 2023. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2024 was 27.4%, compared to 26.3% for the prior quarter of 2024 and 28.5% for the third quarter of 2023. The effective tax rate increased from the prior quarter of 2024 due to an increase in the gain on equity securities and was lower compared to the third quarter of 2023 due to higher low-income housing tax credits during the current quarter.

Loans and Credit Quality

Loans, net of deferred fees, increased $47.9 million from June 30, 2024, and decreased $56.7 million from September 30, 2023, and totaled $1.9 billion at both September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, compared to $2.0 billion at September 30, 2023. The increase in loans at September 30, 2024 compared to June 30, 2024 was primarily due to $85.3 million of new loan originations and $36.8 million of loan purchases, partially offset by $63.5 million of loan repayments and $9.3 million in loans sold during the current quarter.

Nonperforming loans, consisting solely of non-accrual loans, totaled $9.7 million, or 0.51% of total loans, at September 30, 2024, compared to $16.1 million, or 0.87% of total loans, at June 30, 2024, and $14.3 million, or 0.73% of total loans, at September 30, 2023. The decrease in nonperforming loans from the prior quarter-end was primarily due to sale of three non-accrual loans totaling $8.1 million, the pay-off of two non-accrual loans totaling $460,000, the complete charge-off of one non-accrual loan of $1.0 million and another totaling $88,000, and to a lesser extent paydowns on other non-accrual loans, partially offset by two new loans totaling $3.5 million being placed on non-accrual during the current quarter.

The portion of nonaccrual loans guaranteed by government agencies totaled $2.0 million at September 30, 2024, compared to $2.2 million and $801,000 at June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. There were no loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing and in the process of collection at September 30, 2024, June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023. Accruing loans past due between 30 and 89 days at September 30, 2024, totaled $4.5 million, compared to $1.5 million at June 30, 2024 and $2.6 million at September 30, 2023. The $3.0 million increase in accruing loans past due between 30-89 days at September 30, 2024 compared to June 30, 2024, was primarily due to two commercial real estate loans totaling $2.9 million, which were less than 30 days past due at June 30, 2024.

At September 30, 2024, the Company’s allowance for credit losses for loans was $18.3 million, or 0.96% of total loans, compared to $19.0 million, or 1.02% of total loans, at June 30, 2024 and $19.8 million, or 1.01% of total loans, at September 30, 2023. We recorded net charge-offs of $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to net charge-offs of $76,000 in the prior quarter of 2024 and net charge-offs of $25,000 in the third quarter of 2023. The increase in net charge-offs during the third quarter of 2024 compared to the prior quarter of 2024 was primarily due to a $1.0 million complete charge-off of one commercial non-accrual loan which was fully reserved for at June 30, 2024, a $480,000 charge-off related to a non-accrual loan sold during the quarter, and a complete write-down of one non-accrual loan for $88,000, partially offset by two recoveries totaling $50,000 during the current quarter, compared to one charge-off of $160,000 and one recovery of $97,000 during the previous quarter. These actions were taken due to collateral shortfalls deemed uncollectable. There was minimal charge-off activity during the third quarter of 2023.

As of September 30, 2024, acquired loans net of their discount totaled $176.7 million with a remaining net discount on these loans of $449,000, compared to $186.3 million of acquired loans with a remaining net discount of $540,000 at June 30, 2024, and $224.4 million of acquired loans with a remaining net discount of $419,000 at September 30, 2023. The change in the net discount from June 30, 2024, was due to payoff activity during the current quarter. The net discount includes a credit discount based on estimated losses on the acquired loans, partially offset by a premium, if any, based on market interest rates on the date of acquisition.

Deposits and Borrowings

Deposits totaled $2.1 billion at September 30, 2024, compared to $2.2 billion at both June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023. The deposit mix shifted, in part, due to interest rate sensitive clients moving a portion of their non-operating deposit balances from lower costing deposits, including noninterest-bearing deposits, into higher costing money market and time deposits. At September 30, 2024, noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $618.3 million, or 28.9% of total deposits, compared to $618.6 million, or 28.4% of total deposits, at June 30, 2024, and $667.3 million, or 30.9% of total deposits, at September 30, 2023.

We consider our deposit base to be seasoned, stable and well-diversified, and we do not have any significant industry concentrations among our non-insured deposits. We also offer an insured cash sweep product (ICS) that allows customers to insure deposits above FDIC insurance limits. At September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, our average deposit account size (excluding public funds), calculated by dividing period-end deposits by the population of accounts with balances, was approximately $60,000 and $59,000, respectively.

The Bank has an approved secured borrowing facility with the FHLB of San Francisco for up to 25% of total assets for a term not to exceed five years under a blanket lien of certain types of loans, with no FHLB advances outstanding at September 30, 2024, June 30, 2024 or September 30, 2023. The Bank has Federal Funds lines with four corresponding banks with an aggregate available commitment on these lines of $65.0 million at September 30, 2024. There were no amounts outstanding under these lines at September 30, 2024, June 30, 2024 or September 30, 2023. During the first quarter of 2024, the Bank was approved for discount window advances with the FRB of San Francisco secured by certain loan types.

At September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the Company had outstanding junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures, net of fair value adjustments, assumed in connection with its previous acquisitions totaling $8.6 million, compared to $8.5 million at September 30, 2023.

The increase at September 30, 2024 compared to June 30, 2024, reflects $6.0 million of net income during the current quarter and a $1.9 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of taxes, partially offset by repurchases of $1.1 million of common stock and $1.1 million of accrued cash dividends payable. At September 30, 2024, 465,598 shares remained available for future repurchases under the Company’s current stock repurchase plan.

The increase to shareholders’ equity for activity during the three months September 30, 2024, as compared to activity during three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily was due to a $3.3 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of taxes, partially offset by a $613,000 decrease in net income.

In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change.

There are a number of factors that could cause future results to differ materially from historical performance and these forward-looking statements. Factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated or implied by our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: adverse impacts to economic conditions in our local market areas, other markets where the Company has lending relationships, or other aspects of the Company’s business operations or financial markets, including, without limitation, as a result of employment levels, labor shortages and the effects of inflation, a recession or slowed economic growth; changes in the interest rate environment, including the increases and decreases in the Federal Reserve benchmark rate and the duration at which such interest rate levels are maintained, which could adversely affect our revenues and expenses, the values of our assets and obligations, and the availability and cost of capital and liquidity; the impact of inflation and the current and future monetary policies of the Federal Reserve in response thereto; the effects of any federal government shutdown; the impact of bank failures or adverse developments at other banks and related negative press about the banking industry in general on investor and depositor sentiment; review of the Company’s accounting, accounting policies and internal control over financial reporting; risks and uncertainties related to the recent restatement of certain of our historical consolidated financial statements; future acquisitions by the Company of other depository institutions or lines of business; fluctuations in interest rates; the risks of lending and investing activities, including changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses; the Company's ability to access cost-effective funding; fluctuations in real estate values and both residential and commercial real estate market conditions; demand for loans and deposits in the Company's market area; increased competitive pressures; changes in management’s business strategies, including expectations regarding key growth initiatives and strategic priorities; disruptions, security breaches, or other adverse events, failures or interruptions in, or attacks on, our information technology systems or on the third-party vendors who perform critical processing functions for us; environmental, social and governance goals; the effects of climate change, severe weather events, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics and other public health crises, acts of war or terrorism, civil unrest and other external events on our business; and other factors described in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which are available on our website at www.unitedbusinessbank.com and on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov .

The factors listed above could materially affect the Company’s financial performance and could cause the Company’s actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements.

The Company does not undertake - and specifically declines any obligation - to publicly release the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law or NASDAQ rules. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind these risks and uncertainties. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement, which speaks only as of the date made.

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 tangible book value per share and tangible equity to tangible assets, both of which are non-GAAP financial measures. 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. Tangible equity and tangible common shareholders’ equity exclude intangible assets from shareholders’ equity, and tangible assets exclude intangible assets from total assets. For these financial measures, the Company’s intangible assets are goodwill and core deposit intangibles. The Company believes that these measures are consistent with the capital treatment by our bank regulatory agencies, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios and presents these measures to facilitate comparison of the quality and composition of the Company’s capital over time in comparison to its peers. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures 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 similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

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