California BanCorp Reports Financial Results for the Second Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024

OAKLAND, Calif., July 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — California BanCorp (NASDAQ: CALB) (the “Company”), whose subsidiary is California Bank of Commerce, announced today its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024.

The Company reported a net loss of $5.9 million for the second quarter of 2024, representing a decrease of $9.7 million, or 254%, compared to net income of $3.8 million for the first quarter of 2024 and a decrease of $11.3 million, or 208%, compared to $5.4 million in the second quarter of 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company reported a net loss of $2.0 million representing a decrease of $12.9 million, or 119%, compared to net income of $10.9 million for the same period in 2023.

Diluted earnings per share of $(0.68) for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $0.45 for the first quarter of 2024 and $0.65 for the second quarter of 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, diluted earnings per share of $(0.24), compared to $1.29 for the same period in 2023.

“As we announced earlier this month, on July 17, 2024, at their respective shareholder meetings, shareholders of Southern California Bancorp and California BanCorp approved the merger of the two companies, and we expect the transaction to close on July 31, 2024,” said Steven Shelton, Chief Executive Officer of California BanCorp. “Our second quarter results were impacted by a $13.5 million provision for credit losses, largely as the result of stepped up resolution activity on loans individually identified during a rigorous review of our loan portfolio. During the quarter, we focused our efforts on an active strategy of de-risking our balance sheet and remained measured in our new loan production, which led to a decline in total loans. At the same time, we continued to add new commercial relationships that helped contribute to an increase in our balances of noninterest-bearing deposits. We look forward to closing our merger and capitalizing on the strong market position of our combined entity to continue adding attractive commercial relationships, generating profitable growth, and further enhancing the value of our franchise in the coming years.”

Net Interest Income and Margin:

Net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was $16.8 million, representing a decrease of $892,000, or 5%, from $17.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and a decrease of $1.8 million, or 10%, from $18.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in net interest income compared to the first quarter of 2024 was primarily attributable to lower yields on interest earning assets. Compared to the second quarter of 2023, the decrease in net interest income resulted from a lower balance of average earning assets which was driven by a reduction in loan balances as a result of conservative underwriting combined with decreased demand and pay-offs occurring in the normal course of business. Additionally, during the current period the Company incurred higher yields on interest-bearing deposits.

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $34.5 million, a decrease of $2.9 million, or 8% from $37.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in net interest income was primarily attributable to an increase in higher yields on interest-bearing deposits.

The Company’s net interest margin for the second quarter of 2024 was 3.71%, compared to 3.89% for the first quarter of 2024 and 3.93% for the same period in 2023. The Company’s net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was 3.80% compared to 3.98% for the same period in 2023.

Non-Interest Income:

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, non-interest income of $3.2 million compared to $2.2 million for the same period of 2023. The fluctuations in non-interest income from the prior periods were primarily due to service charges and loan related fees.

Net interest income and non-interest income comprised total revenue of $18.3 million, $19.4 million, and $19.8 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2023, respectively.

Non-interest expense of $26.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased by $3.5 million, or 15%, compared to $23.4 million for the same period of 2023. The fluctuations in non-interest expense from the prior periods was primarily due to the recognition of merger related expenses. Additionally, compared to the same periods in the prior year, the Company incurred increases in salaries and benefits as well as premises and equipment.

Excluding the impact of merger related expenses, non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2024, the first quarter of 2024 and the second quarter of 2023 was $12.5 million, $12.7 million, and $11.6 million, respectively.

Excluding the impact of merger related expenses, the Company’s efficiency ratio was 68.38% and 65.29% for the second and first quarters of 2024, respectively.

Total deposits of $1.64 billion at June 30, 2024 remained unchanged from March 31, 2024, and decreased by $99.6 million, or 6%, from $1.74 billion at June 30, 2023. Compared to the same period last year, the decrease in total deposits was primarily concentrated in noninterest-bearing demand deposits. Noninterest-bearing deposits, primarily commercial business operating accounts, represented 39% of total deposits at both June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 and represented 43% of total deposits at June 30, 2023.

Forward-looking statements often include words such as “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 news release are based on current information and on assumptions that the Company makes about future events and circumstances that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that are often difficult to predict and beyond the Company’s control. As a result of those risks and uncertainties, the Company’s actual future performance or financial results could differ, possibly materially, from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this news release and could cause the Company to make changes to future plans. Those risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risk of incurring loan losses, which is an inherent risk of the banking business; the risk that the Company will not be able to continue its internal growth rate; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the right of the Company or Southern California Bancorp to terminate their agreement with respect to the pending merger; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company or Southern California Bancorp; delays in completing the merger with Southern California Bancorp; the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions to the merger on a timely basis or at all; the ability to complete the merger and integration of the Company and Southern California Bancorp successfully; costs being greater than anticipated; cost savings being less than anticipated; the risk that the merger disrupts the business of the Company, Southern California Bancorp or the combined company; the risk that the United States economy will experience slowed growth or recession or will be adversely affected by domestic or international economic conditions and risks associated with the Federal Reserve Board taking actions with respect to interest rates, any of which could adversely affect, among other things, the values of real estate collateral supporting many of the Company’s loans, interest income and interest rate margins and, therefore, the Company’s future operating results; the impacts of the failure of other depository institutions on investor and depositor sentiments and preferences; the Company’s ability to manage its liquidity; risks associated with changes in income tax laws and regulations; and risks associated with seeking new client relationships and maintaining existing client relationships.
