OP Bancorp (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: OPBK), the holding company of Open Bank, today reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2022. Net income for the third quarter of 2022 was $8.7 million, or $0.55 per diluted common share, compared with $8.5 million, or $0.54 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2022, and $8.3 million, or $0.54 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2021.

Min Kim, President and Chief Executive Officer :

“We are pleased to report another strong quarter of balance sheet growth and earnings performance. Our total assets surpassed $2 billion for the first time as our average loans and deposits grew 23% and 21%, respectively, from a year ago. The growth was accompanied by increased net income and diluted earnings per share, expanded net interest margin, and maintenance of strong asset quality. Despite external headwinds related to supply chain bottlenecks, inflation, and market rate increases by the Federal Reserve, we remain optimistic about our future growth and performance and will continue to focus on executing our strategic goals while maintaining appropriate risk and control environment.”

Third Quarter 2022 vs. Second Quarter 2022

Net interest income increased $1.3 million, or 6.6%, primarily due to higher interest income on loans. Net interest margin was 4.31%, an increase of 10 basis points from 4.21%.

  • A $2.7 million increase in interest income on loans was primarily due to interest income increases of $1.4 million on real estate loans and $983 thousand on home mortgage loans driven by average balance increases of $58.5 million on real estate loans and $81.5 million on home mortgage loans.
  • The 10 basis point increase in net interest margin was primarily due to a 48 basis point increase in average yield on interest-earning assets.
  • Average loan yield was 5.36%, a 45 basis point increase from 4.91%, primarily due to a 54 basis point increase in contractual loan yield as a result of market rate increases by the Federal Reserve.
  • Average cost of interest-bearing deposits was 1.21%, a 71 basis point increase from 0.50%. Average cost of deposits was 0.65%, a 40 basis point increase from 0.25%, primarily due to the Federal Reserve’s rate increases.

Third Quarter 2022 vs. Third Quarter 2021

  • A $4.9 million increase in interest income on loans was primarily due to higher average loan balance from loan growth in home loans and real estate loans.
  • The improvement of 10 basis points in net interest margin was primarily due to a 52 basis point increase in average yield on interest-earning assets.
  • Average loan yield was 5.36%, a 23 basis point increase from 5.13%, primarily due to a 70 basis point increase in contractual loan yield as a result of market rate increases by the Federal Reserve, partially offset by a 15 basis point decrease in SBA discount accretion income as a result of lower SBA loan payoffs and a 35 basis point decrease in amortization of net deferred fees as a result of lower net deferred fees on SBA PPP loans.
  • Average yield on interesting-bearing deposits in other banks was 2.21%, a 208 basis point increase from 0.13%, primarily due to the Federal Reserve’s rate increases. Average yield on available-for-sale debt securities was 2.04%, a 105 basis point increase from 0.99%, primarily due to higher yields on securities purchased in 2022 as a result of the Federal Reserve’s rate increases.
  • Average cost of interest-bearing deposits was 1.21%, an 81 basis point increase from 0.40% primarily due to the Federal Reserve’s rate increases. Average cost of deposits was 0.65%, a 44 basis point increase from 0.21%, primarily due to the Federal Reserve’s rate increases.

Third Quarter 2022 vs. Third Quarter 2021

The Company recorded $662 thousand provision for loan losses, an increase of $1.5 million, compared with $884 thousand reversal of provision for loan losses.

As of September 30, 2022 vs. June 30, 2022

Total deposits were $1.82 billion as of September 30, 2022, up $75.2 million from June 30, 2022, primarily driven by growth in money market deposits and time deposits, partially offset by a decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits. Money market deposits and time deposits grew $5.5 million and $95.3 million, respectively, due to management’s actions to support loan growth during the third quarter of 2022 including upward adjustments of interest rates on customer deposits and increases in wholesale deposits. Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $25.7 million, primarily due to decreases from Special Deposit Center as a result of lower transaction volumes, specifically escrow and 1031 exchange accounts.

As of September 30, 2022 vs. September 30, 2021

Total deposits were $1.82 billion as of September 30, 2022, up $320.4 million from September 30, 2021, primarily driven by growth in money market and noninterest-bearing deposits. Money market deposits were $524.9 million, up $173.7 million from $351.2 million at September 30, 2021. Noninterest-bearing deposits were $794.6 million, up $81.5 million from $713.1 million as of September 30, 2021. The growth in noninterest-bearing deposits was primarily due to addition of new customers from our Specialty Deposit Center.

See the Reconciliation of GAAP to NON-GAAP Financial Measures.

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 1.18%.

  • Allowance for loan losses increased $4.2 million to $18.4 million from a year ago. Excluding the impacts of the purchased Hana loans, PPP loans, adjusted allowance to gross loans ratio was 1.18% as of September 30, 2022.
  • Criticized loans increased by $1.3 million or 60.9% from a year ago, and the criticized loans to gross loans ratio increased by 4 basis points, primarily due to home mortgage loans that were categorized as Substandard in the fourth quarter of 2021. Criticized loans are generally consistent with the Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss categories defined by regulatory authorities.
  • Nonperforming assets increased $1.2 million to $2.3 million, or 0.11% of total assets from a year ago. The increase in nonperforming assets was primarily due to home mortgage loans that were placed on nonaccrual in the fourth quarter of 2021. As of September 30, 2022, $442 thousand of nonaccrual loans was the guaranteed portion of SBA loans that are in liquidation. The Company did not have OREO as of September 30, 2022 or 2021.
  • Net recoveries were $5 thousand or 0.00% of average loans in the third quarter of 2022, compared to net recoveries of $4 thousand in the third quarter of 2021.

COVID-19 Pandemic Update

As of September 30, 2022, no loan was under COVID-19 loan payment modification.

Since the PPP’s inception through September 30, 2022, we have funded $154.5 million, and $153.4 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 September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 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.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain matters set forth herein constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including forward-looking statements relating to the Company’s current business plans and expectations regarding future operating results. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those projected. These risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control, include, but are not limited to: business and economic conditions, particularly those affecting the financial services industry and our primary market areas; our ability to successfully manage our credit risk and the sufficiency of our allowance for loan losses; factors that can impact the performance of our loan portfolio, including real estate values and liquidity in our primary market areas, the financial health of our commercial borrowers, the success of construction projects that we finance, including any loans acquired in acquisition transactions; our ability to effectively execute our strategic plan and manage our growth; interest rate fluctuations, which could have an adverse effect on our profitability; liquidity issues, including fluctuations in the fair value and liquidity of the securities we hold for sale and our ability to raise additional capital, if necessary; external economic and/or market factors, such as changes in monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including the interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve, inflation or deflation, changes in the demand for loans, and fluctuations in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits, which may have an adverse impact on our financial condition; continued or increasing competition from other financial institutions, credit unions, and non-bank financial services companies, many of which are subject to different regulations than we are; challenges arising from unsuccessful attempts to expand into new geographic markets, products, or services; restraints on the ability of Open Bank to pay dividends to us, which could limit our liquidity; increased capital requirements imposed by banking regulators, which may require us to raise capital at a time when capital is not available on favorable terms or at all; a failure in the internal controls we have implemented to address the risks inherent to the business of banking; inaccuracies in our assumptions about future events, which could result in material differences between our financial projections and actual financial performance; changes in our management personnel or our inability to retain motivate and hire qualified management personnel; disruptions, security breaches, or other adverse events, failures or interruptions in, or attacks on, our information technology systems; disruptions, security breaches, or other adverse events affecting the third-party vendors who perform several of our critical processing functions; an inability to keep pace with the rate of technological advances due to a lack of resources to invest in new technologies; risks related to potential acquisitions; political developments, uncertainties or instability, catastrophic events, acts of war or terrorism, or natural disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, drought, pandemic diseases (such as the coronavirus) or extreme weather events, any of which may affect services we use or affect our customers, employees or third parties with which we conduct business; incremental costs and obligations associated with operating as a public company; the impact of any claims or legal actions to which we may be subject, including any effect on our reputation; compliance with governmental and regulatory requirements, including the Dodd-Frank Act and others relating to banking, consumer protection, securities and tax matters, and our ability to maintain licenses required in connection with commercial mortgage origination, sale and servicing operations; changes in federal tax law or policy; and our ability the manage the foregoing and other factors set forth in the Company’s public reports. We describe these and other risks that could affect our results in Item 1A. “Risk Factors,” of our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and in our other subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
