BayCom Corp Reports 2017 Second Quarter Earnings of $1.5 Million

WALNUT CREEK, Calif., July 26, 2017 -- BayCom Corp, “Company”, (OTCBB:BCML), announced quarterly earnings of $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2017 and $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2016.  Diluted earnings per share were $0.27 in the second quarter 2017 compared to $0.26 in the first quarter and to $0.27 in the second quarter of 2016.  

President and Chief Executive Officer, George J. Guarini stated, “A highlight of our second quarter 2017 financial performance was the closing of our merger for First ULB Corp. In addition, our financial performance continues to demonstrate our presence in the SBA lending market.  Our total assets increased to nearly $1.2 billion.”

Mr. Guarini added, “We have completed the conversion and integration of the two banks in the second quarter and we are now positioned to take on new opportunities.  This is demonstrated by our recent announcement to acquire Plaza Bank in Seattle, Washington.  The merger with Plaza Bank allows us to expand our market presence in Seattle.”

The Bank also provided the following highlights on its operating and financial performance for the second quarter of 2017:

  • Loans totaled $859.3 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $535.5 million at March 31, 2017 and $508.3 million at December 31, 2016.  New loan volume was approximately $42.2 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $38.4 million in the first quarter 2017.
  • Deposits totaled $1,031.8 million at June 30, 2017 compared to $610.0 million at March 31, 2017 and $590.8 million at December 31, 2016.   As of June 30, 2017, non-interest bearing deposits represent 30.2% of total deposits and the cost of total deposits decreased to 0.38% compared to 0.68% at March 31, 2017.
  • Non-accrual loans represented 0.04% of total loans as of June 30, 2017 resulting in a Texas ratio of 0.59%. The provision for loan losses recorded in the second quarter 2017 totaled $144 thousand.
  • All capital ratios are well above regulatory requirements for a Well-capitalized institution. The Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio was 12.15% at June 31, 2017 compared to 13.86% at December 31, 2016, and the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 8.61% compared to 11.45% at December 31, 2016.

Loans and Credit Quality

Loan originations in the second quarter of 2017 were spread throughout our markets with the majority focused in Santa Clara, Alameda and San Francisco Counties. By loan type, owner-user real estate, investor real estate and multi-family residential real estate accounted for the majority of the new loan volume in the quarter.  

Year-to-date loan originations of $35.5 million are approx. $8.2 million lower than compared to the first quarter 2017.   Payoffs totaled $20.5 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2017 were primarily the result of property sales or planned events.   Payoffs for the first quarter 2017 were $21.7 million.

Non-accrual loans totaled $368 thousand, or 0.04% of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2017, compared to $1.0 million, or 0.21%, at December 31, 2016 and $1.9 million, or 0.38% a year ago.   Accruing loans past due 30 to 89 days totaled $654 thousand at June 30, 2017, compared to $625 thousand at December 31, 2016 and $174 thousand a year ago.

The provision for loan losses recorded in the second quarter of 2017 totaled $144 thousand primarily to provide for loan growth.  Recoveries net of charge-offs for the first quarter totaled $5 thousand compared to net recoveries of $7 thousand in the first quarter 2017 and recoveries of $4 thousand in the same quarter a year ago. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to loans totaled 0.51% at June 30, 2017 compared to 0.73% at March 31, 2017. As of June 30, 2017, acquired loans totaling $386.2 million are covered by mark to market valuations.

Investments and Borrowings

The investment portfolio totaled $61.9 million at June 30, 2017, an increase of $37.2 million from March 31, 2017 mainly due to the acquisition of investment securities in the merger with First ULB.   

As of June 30, 2017, other borrowings totaled $6.0 million and Trust Preferred Securities, net of a market value premium, totaled $5.4 million.  Neither was outstanding as of March 31, 2017.

Deposits

Deposits totaled $1,031.8 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $610.0 million at March 31, 2017 and $535.7 million at June 30, 2016. While day-to-day volatility continues due to the normal business activity of our customers, the trend is upward in both average and ending balances. Non-interest bearing deposits totaled $311.5 million, or 30.2% of total deposits, compared to 23.3% at March 31, 2017 and 21.7% at December 31, 2016.

Earnings

Net interest income totaled $9.4 million for the second quarter 2017 compared to $6.6 million for the same period in 2016.

The tax-equivalent net interest margin was 4.07% in the second quarter of 2017, compared to 4.15% in the prior quarter and 3.91% in the same quarter a year ago. The increase from last quarter includes 29 basis points related to the payoffs of PCI loans.

Loans acquired through the acquisition of other banks are classified as PCI or non-PCI loans and are recorded at fair value at acquisition date. For acquired loans not considered credit impaired, the level of accretion varies due to maturities and early payoffs. Accretion on PCI loans fluctuates based on changes in cash flows expected to be collected. Gains on payoffs of PCI loans are recorded as interest income when the payoff amounts exceed the recorded investment. PCI loans totaled $14.4 million, $7.4 million, and $8.9 million at June 30, 2017, December 31, 2016, and June 30, 2016, respectively.

Accretion and gains on payoffs of purchased loans recorded to interest income were $735 thousand for the second quarter 2017 compared to $557 thousand for first quarter 2017, and $650  thousand for the same period last year.

Non-interest income in the first quarter of 2017 totaled $1.6 million, compared to $735 thousand in the prior quarter and $308 thousand in the same quarter a year ago. The increase compared to the prior quarter primarily relates to gain on sale of loans totaling $875 thousand in the second quarter 2017 compared to $400 thousand in the first quarter of 2017 and to none in the same quarter last year.

Non-interest expense totaled $8.2 million in the second quarter of 2017 up from $4.5 million last quarter and $4.0 million in the same quarter last year.  Merger related expenses recorded in the second quarter total $2.3 million.  The remaining increase is related to higher operating expenses due to the merger including an increase in the number of employees, branch offices and data process charges as a result of higher volume.
