## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**Heritage Commerce Corp Earns Record $20.8 Million for the Fourth Quarter of 2022, and** 

**Record $66.6 Million for Full Year 2022**

San Jose, CA — January 26, 2023 — **Heritage Commerce Corp (Nasdaq: HTBK)**, the holding company (the "Company") for Heritage Bank of Commerce (the "Bank"), today announced fourth quarter 2022 net income increased 49% to $20.8 million, or $0.34 per average diluted common share, compared to $14.0 million, or $0.23 per average diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2021, and increased 15% from $18.1 million, or $0.30 per average diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2022, net income increased 40% to $66.6 million, or $1.09 per average diluted common share, compared to $47.7 million, or $0.79 per average diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2021. All results are unaudited.

"Our quarterly results were a strong end to what was a record year on several measures," said Clay Jones, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We achieved record net income for the fourth quarter and the year ended December 31, 2022 with a 23% increase in net interest income year-over-year, supported by solid loan growth both year-over-year and from the linked quarter. Performance metrics for the fourth quarter of 2022 were highlighted by a return on average tangible common equity of 18.89%, a return on average tangible assets of 1.59%, and net interest margin of 4.10%. Our efficiency ratio also improved to 44.98% for the fourth quarter and 49.93% for the year ended December 31, 2022."

"Total deposits declined (6%) from the linked quarter and (8%) from 2021," Mr. Jones stated. "The year-over-year decline was primarily related to the decrease in balances (of approximately $170 million) from two large depositors who had temporary high balances at December 31, 2021. Additional declines in deposits were related to the decrease in balances from the distribution of proceeds from the sale of client businesses and real estate, and to a lesser extent, clients moving funds to seek higher rates. We continue to foster our loyal client relationships as we focus on growing our Company in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area."

"Our credit metrics remained strong in the fourth quarter of 2022. Nonperforming assets declined ($1.3) million from the fourth quarter a year ago, and classified assets decreased (57%) year-over-year and declined (49%) over the preceding quarter," said Mr. Jones. "We recorded a $508,000 provision for credit losses on loans during the current quarter to support our growing loan portfolio, which resulted in an allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans of 1.44% at December 31, 2022. We continue to focus on maintaining a healthy balance sheet with strong capital. I want to thank our employees for their efforts this and every year, and for their unwavering commitment to our clients, communities and shareholders."

**Fourth Quarter Ended December 31, 2022** 

**Operating Results, Balance Sheet Review, Capital Management, and Credit Quality**

(as of, or for the periods ended December 31, 2022, compared to December 31, 2021, and September 30, 2022, except as noted):

**Operating Results:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;♦ Diluted earnings per share were $0.34 for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $0.23 for the fourth quarter of 2021, and $0.30 for the third quarter of 2022. Diluted earnings per share were $1.09 for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $0.79 for the year ended December 31, 2021.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;♦ The following table indicates the ratios for the return on average tangible assets and the return on average tangible common equity for the periods indicated:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;♦ Net interest income, before provision for credit losses on loans, increased 36% to $51.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $38.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The fully tax equivalent ("FTE") net interest margin increased 126 basis points to 4.10% for the fourth quarter of 2022, from 2.84% for the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to increases in the prime rate and the rate on overnight funds, a shift in the mix of earning assets into higher yielding loans and investment securities, and higher average yield on overnight funds, partially offset by lower interest and fees on Small Business Administration

------

("SBA") Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans, a decrease in the accretion of the loan purchase discount into interest income from acquired loans, lower prepayment fees, and a higher cost of funds.

● Net interest income increased 8% to $51.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $48.0 million for the third quarter of 2022. The FTE net interest margin increased 37 basis points to 4.10% for the fourth quarter of 2022 from 3.73% for the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to a shift in the mix of earning assets as the Company invested its excess liquidity into higher yielding loans and investment securities, and higher average yields on overnight funds, partially offset by a higher cost of funds.

● Net interest income increased 23% to $179.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $146.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the FTE net interest margin increased 52 basis points to 3.57%, compared to 3.05% for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to higher average balances of loans and investment securities, higher average yields on investment securities and overnight funds, partially offset by lower interest and fees on PPP loans, a decrease in the accretion of the loan purchase discount into interest income from acquired loans, lower prepayment fees, a lower yield on the Bay View Funding factoring portfolio, and a higher cost of funds.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;♦ The following table, as of December 31, 2022, sets forth the estimated changes in the Company's annual net interest income that would result from the designated instantaneous parallel shift in interest rates from the base rate:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. Actual rates paid on deposits may differ from the hypothetical interest rates modeled due to competitive or market factors, which could reduce any actual impact on net interest income.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;♦ The following tables present the average balance of loans outstanding, interest income, and the average yield for the periods indicated:

● The average yield on the total loan portfolio increased to 5.19% for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to 4.90% for the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to increases in the prime rate, partially offset by lower fees on PPP loans, and higher average balances of lower yielding purchased residential mortgage loans.

● The average yield on the total loan portfolio decreased to 4.91% for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to 5.03% for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to a decrease in interest and fees on PPP loans, a decrease in the accretion of the loan purchase discount into interest income from acquired loans, lower prepayment fees, and an increase in the average balance of lower yielding purchased residential mortgages.

● In aggregate, the remaining net purchase discount on total loans acquired from Focus Business Bank, Tri-Valley Bank, United American Bank, and Presidio Bank was $4.6 million at December 31, 2022.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;♦ The average cost of total deposits was 0. 25% for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to 0.10% for the fourth quarter of 2021, and 0.13% for the third quarter of 2022. The average cost of total deposits was 0.15% for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to 0.11% for the year ended December 31, 2021.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;♦ During the fourth quarter of 2022, there was a provision for credit losses on loans of $508,000, compared to a $615,000 negative provision for credit losses on loans for the fourth quarter of 2021, and a provision for credit losses on loans of $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2022. There was a provision for credit losses on loans of $766,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to a $3.1 million negative provision for credit losses on loans for the year ended December 31, 2021.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;♦ Total noninterest income remained relatively flat at $2.8 million for both the fourth quarter of 2022 and 2021. The fourth quarter of 2022 included higher income on off-balance sheet deposits. The fourth quarter of 2021 included termination fees, a gain on sales of SBA loans, and a gain on proceeds from company-owned life insurance. Total noninterest income remained relatively flat at $2.8 million for both the fourth and third quarters of 2022, as higher service charges and fees on deposit accounts was offset by a lower gain on sales of SBA loans during the fourth quarter of 2022.

● For the year ended December 31, 2022, total noninterest income increased 4% to $10.1 million, compared to $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to higher income on off-balance sheet deposits, and a $669,000 gain on warrants, partially offset by a lower gain on sales of SBA loans and a lower gain on proceeds from company-owned life insurance during the year ended December 31, 2022.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;♦ Total noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased to $24.5 million, compared to $22.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits, higher rent included in occupancy and equipment expense, higher professional fees, and higher insurance and information technology related expenses included in other noninterest expense during the fourth quarter of 2022.

● Total noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased to $24.5 million, compared to $23.9 million for the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to approximately $900,000 in additional expense as a result of higher bonuses, professional fees, insurance and information technology related expenses incurred during the fourth quarter of 2022. The higher salaries and employee benefits during the third quarter of 2022 included $784,000 of restricted stock expense for vesting of restricted common stock held by the previous President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, which was partially offset by a higher bonus accrual during the fourth quarter of 2022.

● Noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased to $94.9 million, compared to $93.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits, higher rent included in occupancy and equipment expense, and higher insurance and information technology related expenses during the year ended December 31, 2022. These increases were partially offset by higher legal fees included in professional fees and a reserve for a legal settlement included in other noninterest expense during the year ended December 31, 2021.

● Full time equivalent employees were 331 at December 31, 2022, and 326 at December 31, 2021, and 327 at September 30, 2022.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;♦ The efficiency ratio was 44.98% for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to 54.32% for the fourth quarter of 2021, and 47.02% for the third quarter of 2022.
