***<u>Fourth Quarter 2022 vs. Third Quarter 2022</u>***

Net interest income decreased $146 thousand, or 0.7%, primarily due to higher interest expense on deposits. Net interest margin was 4.08%, a decrease of 23 basis points from 4.31%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ A $2.9 million increase in interest income on loans was primarily due to a 55 basis point increase in contractual loan yield as a result of market rate increases by the Federal Reserve and a $77.6 million increase in average loan balance.

Overall, the Company continued to maintain solid asset quality with low levels of nonperforming loans and net charge-offs. Nonperforming assets and criticized loans remained below our historical

------

norms, a reflection of our conservative credit culture and expertise in the industries we serve. Our allowance remained strong with an adjusted allowance to gross loans ratio of 1.16%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Allowance for loan losses increased $3.1 million to $19.2 million from a year ago. Excluding the impacts of the purchased Hana loans, PPP loans, adjusted allowance to gross loans ratio was 1.16% as of December 31, 2022.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Criticized loans decreased by $169 thousand or 4.2% from a year ago, and the criticized loans to gross loans ratio decreased by 8 basis points. Criticized loans are generally consistent with the Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss categories defined by regulatory authorities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Nonperforming assets decreased $120 thousand to $3.1 million, or 0.15% of total assets from a year ago. As of December 31, 2022, $606 thousand of nonaccrual loans was the guaranteed portion of SBA loans that are in liquidation. The Company did not have OREO as of December 31, 2022 or 2021.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Net charge-offs were $105 thousand or 0.03% of average loans in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $168 thousand, or 0.05%, of average loans in the fourth quarter of 2021.

**COVID-19 Pandemic Update** 

As of December 31, 2022, no loan was under COVID-19 loan payment modification.

Since the PPP's inception through December 31, 2022, we have funded $154.5 million, and $154.0 million of principal forgiveness has been provided on qualifying PPP loans.

**RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES**

In addition to GAAP measures, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding the Company's performance.

Pre-provision net revenue removes provision for loan losses and income tax expense. Management believes that this non-GAAP measure, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures (as applicable), provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance. This non-GAAP financial measure also facilitates a comparison of our performance to prior periods.

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company purchased 638 loans from Hana for a total purchase price of $97.6 million. The Company evaluated $100.0 million of the loans purchased in accordance with the provisions of ASC 310-20, Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs, which were recorded with a $8.9 million discount. As a result, the fair value discount on these loans is being accreted into interest income over the expected life of the loans using the effective yield method. Adjusted loan yield and net interest margin for the three months ended December 31, 2022, September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 excluded the impacts of contractual interest and discount accretion of the purchased Hana loans as management does not consider purchasing loan portfolios to be normal or recurring transactions. Management believes that presenting the adjusted average loan yield and net interest margin provide comparability to prior periods and these non-GAAP financial measures provide supplemental information regarding the Company's performance.
