(1) This measure is not a measure recognized under United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and is therefore considered to be non-GAAP financial measures. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP to GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of this measure to its most comparable GAAP measure. The efficiency ratio is defined as total noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income. We believe this measure is important as an indicator of productivity because it shows the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent.

(2) This measure is not a measure recognized under GAAP and is therefore considered to be non-GAAP financial measures. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP to GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of this measure to its most comparable GAAP measure. Tangible shareholders’ equity is defined as total shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is total shareholder’s equity. We had no goodwill or other intangible assets as of any of the dates indicated. We have not considered loan servicing rights as an intangible asset for purposes of this calculation. As a result, tangible shareholders’ equity is the same as total shareholders’ equity as of each of the dates indicated.

Net Income

Net income was $5.5 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $9.4 million for the first quarter of 2022, and $7.7 million for the second quarter of 2021. The decline from the previous quarter was primarily due to lower gain-on-sale of loans and an impairment of the Company’s SBA servicing asset. Compared to the prior year period, the decline was primarily driven by an increase in non-interest expenses and a decrease in fair value of the Company’s investment in Business Funding Group, LLC (“BFG”), partially offset by increases in non-interest income and net interest income.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $12.8 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $13.0 million for the first quarter of 2022, and $10.8 million for the second quarter of 2021. The decline from the previous quarter was primarily due to lower average loans held for sale balances. Growth over the prior year period primarily reflected strong loan growth resulting in higher average balances and an increase in the other interest earning asset classes.

Loan originations totaled $2.1 billion for the second quarter of 2022, down from $2.5 billion for the first quarter of 2022, and up from $1.4 billion for the second quarter of 2021.

Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2022 increased to 13.69% compared to 13.37% for the first quarter of 2022 and decreased compared to 20.29% for the second quarter of 2021. The increase from the previous quarter was primarily driven by a loan mix shift away from loans carrying lower yields within the strategic program held for sale portfolio. The net interest margin decrease from the second quarter of 2021 was driven mainly by the substantial increase in lower yielding cash and cash equivalents raised in the Company’s initial public offering and a loan mix shift toward loans carrying lower yields within the strategic program held for sale portfolio.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company’s provision for loan losses was $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $2.9 million for the first quarter of 2022 and $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2021. Compared to the previous quarter, the provision for the second quarter of 2022 reflected growth of unguaranteed loans held for investment and lower net charge-offs compared to the first quarter of 2022. The increase in the Company’s provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021 was primarily due to substantial non-PPP loan growth and an increase in net charge-offs.

Non-interest Income

	For the Three Months Ended
($s in thousands)	6/30/2022			3/31/2022			6/30/2021
Non-interest income:
Strategic program fees	$	6,221		$	6,623		$	3,942
Gain on sale of loans		2,412			5,052			2,397

Other miscellaneous income		31			18			10
Total non-interest income	$	8,431		$	11,682		$	8,161

Non-interest income was $8.4 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $11.7 million for the first quarter of 2022 and $8.2 million for the second quarter of 2021. The decline from the previous quarter was driven primarily by lower gain on sale of loans due to a decrease in the number of SBA 7(a) loans sold. Compared to the prior year period, the increase was primarily due to an increase in strategic program fees due to significant loan origination volume growth, partially offset by a decrease in fair value of the Company’s investment in BFG.

Non-interest Expense

	For the Three Months Ended
($s in thousands)	6/30/2022		3/31/2022			6/30/2021
Non-interest expense:
Salaries and employee benefits	$	7,182	$	7,092		$	5,488
Occupancy and equipment expenses		419		302			203
(Recovery) impairment of SBA servicing asset		1,135		(59	)		-
Other operating expenses		2,283		1,713			1,388
Total non-interest expense	$	11,019	$	9,048		$	7,079

Non-interest expense was $11.0 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $9.0 million for the first quarter of 2022 and $7.1 million for the second quarter of 2021. The increase over the previous quarter was primarily due to an impairment of the Company’s SBA servicing asset in the second quarter of 2022 due to rising market interest rates and market-wide increasing prepayment speeds on SBA loans. The increase compared to the second quarter of 2021 was primarily due to increased expenses from higher employee head count related to an increase in strategic program loan volume and an impairment of the Company’s SBA servicing asset.

The Company’s efficiency ratio was 52.0% for the second quarter of 2022 as compared to 36.7% for the first quarter of 2022 and 37.3% for the second quarter of 2021.

Tax Rate

The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 24.6% for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 25.4% for the first quarter of 2022 and 25.2% for the second quarter of 2021.

Balance Sheet

The Company’s total assets were $366.0 million at June 30, 2022, a decrease from $424.5 million at March 31, 2022 and an increase from $288.2 million at June 30, 2021. The decrease over the prior period was mainly due to a decline in deposits required to fund the Company’s Strategic Program loan portfolio. The increase in total assets compared to June 30, 2021 was mainly due to an increase in cash from the Company’s public stock offering, growth in deposits to fund the Company’s Strategic Program loan portfolio and an increase in deposits to fund SBA 7(a) loans offset by a decrease in borrowings under the PPP Liquidity Facility due to a decline in PPP loans outstanding.

The following table shows the loan portfolio as of the dates indicated:

	As of
	6/30/2022					3/31/2022					6/30/2021
($s in thousands)	Amount		% of total loans			Amount		% of total loans			Amount		% of total loans
SBA	$	124,477		53.6	%	$	127,778		46.9	%	$	128,841		55.2	%
Commercial, non real estate		7,847		3.4	%		3,285		1.2	%		3,627		1.6	%
Residential real estate		30,965		13.3	%		30,772		11.3	%		22,410		9.6	%
Strategic Program loans		59,066		25.5	%		101,819		37.4	%		71,235		30.6	%
Commercial real estate		4,722		2.0	%		4,187		1.5	%		2,316		1.0	%
Consumer		5,062		2.2	%		4,711		1.7	%		4,624		2.0	%
Total period end loans	$	232,139		100.0	%	$	272,552		100.0	%	$	233,053		100.0	%

Note: SBA loans as of June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021 include $0.7 million, $1.0 million and $17.3 million in PPP loans, respectively. SBA loans as of June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021 include $46.0 million, $53.2 million and $54.4 million, respectively, of SBA 7(a) loan balances that are guaranteed by the SBA. The held for investment balance on Strategic Programs with annual interest rates below 36% as of June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021 was $12.0 million, $13.8 million and $0.0 million, respectively.

Total loans receivable at June 30, 2022 decreased to $232.1 million from $272.6 million at March 31, 2022 and decreased from $233.1 million at June 30, 2021. The decrease in loans receivable over the prior period was due primarily to decreases in strategic program held for sale loans and SBA 7(a) loan balances that are guaranteed by the SBA, partially offset by increases in commercial non real estate loans and SBA 7(a) loans that are not guaranteed by the SBA. The decrease in loans receivable compared to June 30, 2021 was due primarily to decreases in strategic program held for sale loans and PPP loans, substantially offset by increases in SBA 7(a) loans that are not guaranteed by the SBA, strategic program held for investment loans, residential real estate, and commercial non real estate loans. Decreases in strategic program held for sale loans over both prior periods were primarily due to a more challenging economic environment.

The following table shows the Company’s deposit composition as of the dates indicated:

	As of
	6/30/2022					3/31/2022					6/30/2021
($s in thousands)	Total		Percent			Total		Percent			Total		Percent
Noninterest-bearing demand deposits	$	83,490		38.1	%	$	127,330		45.9	%	$	105,134		53.0	%
Interest-bearing deposits:
Demand		11,360		5.1	%		7,919		2.8	%		5,058		2.5	%
Savings		7,462		3.4	%		7,089		2.6	%		8,724		4.4	%
Money markets		48,273		22.0	%		53,434		19.3	%		20,129		10.1	%
Time certificates of deposit		68,774		31.4	%		81,688		29.4	%		59,551		30.0	%
Total period end deposits	$	219,359		100.0	%	$	277,460		100.0	%	$	198,596		100.0	%

Total deposits at June 30, 2022 decreased to $219.4 million from $277.5 million at March 31, 2022, and increased from $198.6 million at June 30, 2021. The decrease from the first quarter of 2022 was driven primarily by a decrease in noninterest-bearing demand, time certificates of deposits, and money market. The increase from the second quarter of 2021 was driven by increases in money market, time certificates of deposit, and interest-bearing demand deposits, partially offset by a decrease in noninterest-bearing demand deposits.

Total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2022 increased $5.5 million, to $130.5 million from $125.0 million at March 31, 2022. Compared to June 30, 2021, total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2022 increased $70.2 million, or more than doubled from $60.3 million. The increase in shareholders’ equity over the prior quarter was mainly driven by net income for the second quarter of 2022. The increase over the prior year period was primarily due to the Company’s initial public offering and net income.

Bank Regulatory Capital Ratios

The following table presents the leverage ratios for the Bank as of the dates indicated:

	As of						2022		2021
	6/30/2022		3/31/2022		6/30/2021		Well- Capitalized Requirement		Well- Capitalized Requirement
Leverage Ratio (Bank under CBLR)		21.4%		19.1%		19.2%		9.0%		8.5%

The Bank’s capital levels remain significantly above well-capitalized guidelines as of the end of the second quarter of 2022.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming loans were $0.6 million or 0.3% of total loans receivable at June 30, 2022, compared to $0.7 million or 0.2% of total loans receivable at March 31, 2022 and $0.8 million or 0.3% of total loans receivable at June 30, 2021. As noted above, the provision for loan losses was $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $2.9 million for the first quarter of 2022 and $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2021. The Company’s allowance for loan losses to total loans (less PPP loans) was 4.6% at June 30, 2022 compared to 3.7% at March 31, 2022 and 3.4% at June 30, 2021.

For the second quarter of 2022, the Company’s net charge-offs were $2.3 million, compared to $2.8 million for the first quarter of 2022 and $0.5 million for the second quarter of 2021. The decrease in net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2022 was primarily driven by lower gross charge-offs and increased recoveries related to strategic programs. The increase in net charge-offs during the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021 was mainly driven by growth in the Company’s held for investment balances and some normalization of credit losses to pre-pandemic market conditions.

The following table presents a summary of changes in the allowance for loan losses and asset quality ratios for the periods indicated:

(1) This measure is not a measure recognized under United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and is therefore considered to be non-GAAP financial measures. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP to GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of this measure to its most comparable GAAP measure. Tangible shareholders’ equity is defined as total shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is total shareholder’s equity. We had no goodwill or other intangible assets as of any of the dates indicated. We have not considered loan servicing rights as an intangible asset for purposes of this calculation. As a result, tangible shareholders’ equity is the same as total shareholders’ equity as of each of the dates indicated.
