**Results of Operations** 

<u>Net Income</u>

Net income was $13.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, a decrease of $3.7 million, or 22.0%, from $16.9 million for the third quarter of 2022. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in net interest income of $838,000 and a decrease in noninterest income of $3.3 million, offset by a decrease in noninterest expense of $309,000 and a decrease in income tax expense of $649,000. Net income decreased by $4.3 million, or 24.5%, in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to net income of $17.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. This decrease was due to a decrease in net interest income of $671,000 and a decrease in noninterest income of $5.7 million, offset by a decrease in provision for loan losses of $1.7 million, a decrease in noninterest expense of $133,000 and a decrease in provision for income taxes of $247,000.

<u>Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin</u>

Interest income totaled $43.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of $5.6 million, or 14.7%, from the previous quarter, primarily due to a $124.2 million increase in average loan balances coupled with a 39 basis points increase in the loan yield. As compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, interest income for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased by $13.1 million, or 42.4%, primarily due to an increase in average loan balances of $562.7 million coupled with a 57 basis points increase in the loan yield.

Interest expense totaled $15.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of $6.5 million, or 76.2%, from the previous quarter, primarily due to a 113 basis points increase in deposit costs and a 26 basis points increase in borrowing costs coupled with a $118.7 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits and a $27.7 million increase in average borrowings. As compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased by $13.8 million, or 1,113.2%, due to a 234 basis points increase in deposit costs and a 175 basis points increase in borrowing costs coupled with a $419.1 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits.

The net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 3.58% compared to 3.84% for the previous quarter, a decrease of 26 basis points. The yield on average interest-earning assets for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased by 49 basis points to 5.43% from 4.94% for the previous quarter, while the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased by 98 basis points to 2.49% from 1.51% for the previous quarter.

Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $146.4 million from the previous quarter as average interest-bearing deposits increased by $118.7 million and average borrowings increased by $27.7 million.

As compared to the same period in 2021, the net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2022 decreased by 57 basis points to 3.58% from 4.15%, primarily due to a 225 basis point increase in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities of $2.39 billion, offset by a 111 basis point increase in the yield on average interest-earning assets of $3.21 billion.

million decrease in average interest-earning cash accounts.

<u>Noninterest Income</u>

Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $1.8 million, a decrease of $3.3 million, or 64.8%, from the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to lower mortgage loan fees, lower gains on sale of Small Business Administration ("SBA") loans and a significant decrease in SBA servicing income. Mortgage loan originations totaled $88.0 million during the fourth quarter 2022 compared to $255.7 million during the third quarter of 2022. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we recorded a $1.2 million fair value adjustment charge on our SBA servicing asset which had a $0.04 per share impact on our diluted earnings per share for the quarter.

Compared to the same period in 2021, noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2022 decreased by $5.7 million, or 76.1%, primarily due to much lower gains on sale of SBA loans, mortgage loan fees and mortgage and SBA servicing income.

Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2022 totaled $19.2 million, a decrease of $14.6 million, or 43.2%, from the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to lower mortgage loan fees from lower volume, gains on sale of SBA loans and SBA servicing income, offset by increases in gains on sale of mortgage loans, service charges on deposit accounts and other income. Beginning in the second quarter of 2022, we elected to stop selling the guaranteed portion of our SBA loans since the sales premiums offered by third party investors had significantly declined compared to prior year. As of December 31, 2022, approximately $137.8 million of the $299.3 million of SBA loan balances outstanding on our books had SBA guarantees. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we also recorded a $3.1 million fair value adjustment charge on our SBA servicing asset compared to a $619,000 fair value gain during the year ended December 31, 2021. Mortgage loan originations totaled $833.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $1.20 billion during the year ended December 31, 2021. Mortgage loan sales totaled $94.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to no mortgage loan sales during the year ended December 31, 2021.

<u>Noninterest Expense</u>

Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2022 totaled $12.4 million, a decrease of $309,000, or 2.4%, from $12.7 million for the third quarter of 2022. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower commissions from lower loan volume and lower loan and other real estate owned related expenses, partially offset by higher employee salaries and benefits. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, noninterest expense during the fourth quarter of 2022 decreased by $133,000, or 1.1%, primarily due to lower commissions, FDIC deposit insurance premiums, and loan related expenses, partially offset by higher employee salaries and benefits.

Noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 totaled $50.4 million, an increase of $1.9 million, or 4.0%, from $48.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. This increase was primarily attributable to higher employee salaries and benefits, FDIC deposit insurance premiums, professional fees, communication expenses and fair value losses on our equity investments, offset by lower commissions due to lower loan volume, occupancy and equipment expenses, and loan and other real estate owned related expenses.

The Company's efficiency ratio was 40.3% for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to 36.4% and 33.7% for the third quarter of 2022 and fourth quarter of 2021, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the efficiency ratio was 36.3% compared with 35.1% for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Company's effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 32.6%, compared to 29.3% for the third quarter of 2022 and 27.5% for the fourth quarter of 2021. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2022 was 28.1% compared to 25.3% for the year ended December 31, 2021. The elevated effective tax rate during the fourth quarter of 2022, as well as the year ended December 31, 2022, was due to the re-allocation of state income tax apportionment schedules for prior year's tax returns.

<u>Asset Quality</u>

The credit provision recorded during the fourth quarter of 2022 was due to the continued release of additional reserves allocated for the uncertainties in our loan portfolio caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Annualized net charge-offs to average loans for the fourth quarter of 2022 was a net recovery of 0.01%, compared 0.00% for the third quarter of 2022 and net charge-offs of 0.01% for the fourth quarter of 2021. The Company implemented the provisions of the current expected credit losses accounting standard issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in the Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 on January 1, 2023. The allowance for loan losses was accounted for under the incurred loss model as of December 31, 2022.

Nonperforming assets totaled $24.5 million, or 0.71% of total assets, at December 31, 2022, a decrease of $8.0 million from $32.5 million, or 0.97% of total assets, at September 30, 2022, and an increase of $9.1 million from $15.4 million, or 0.50% of total assets, at December 31, 2021. The decrease in nonperforming assets at December 31, 2022 compared to September 30, 2022 was due to a $7.6 million decrease in nonaccrual loans and a $518,000 decrease in accruing troubled debt restructurings, offset by a $180,000 increase in loans past due ninety days and still accruing.

Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.45% at December 31, 2022, compared to 0.50% at September 30, 2022 and 0.67% at December 31, 2021.

Forward-looking statements are not historical in nature and may be identified by references to a future period or periods by the use of the words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate," "project," "outlook," or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could," or "may." The forward-looking statements in this press release should not be relied on because they are based on current information and on assumptions that we make about future events and circumstances that are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that are often difficult to predict and beyond our control.
