Community West Bancshares (“Community West” or the “Company”),
(NASDAQ: CWBC), parent company of Community West Bank (the “Bank”),
today reported net income of $2.6 million, or $0.30 per diluted
share, for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $3.6 million, or
$0.41 diluted share, for the second quarter of 2021, and $4.0
million, or $0.45 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2022.
For the first six months of 2022, the Company reported net income
of $6.6 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, compared to $6.6
million, or $0.76 per diluted share, for the first six months of
2021.
Earnings for the second quarter of 2022 were
impacted by a $252,000 provision for loan losses as a result of
quarterly loan growth. This compared to a $284,000 negative
provision expense recorded during the preceding quarter. Preceding
quarter results were also enhanced by a $549,000 tax exempt payout
on a Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”) policy and collection and
legal expense recovery of $992,000 as a result of a loan legal
settlement.
Results for the second quarter of 2022 compared
to the year ago quarter reflect lower interest and fees on Small
Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”)
loans, due to lower PPP loan forgiveness as the program nears its
conclusion. The PPP interest and fees recognized in the second
quarter of 2022 were $146,000 compared to $1.1 million in the
second quarter of 2021.
The Company’s Board of Directors declared a
quarterly cash dividend of $0.075 per common share, payable August
31, 2022 to common shareholders of record on August 12, 2022.
“Our earnings for the second quarter included
strong loan growth and net interest income expansion, as we
continue to broaden our presence throughout California’s Central
Coast,” stated Martin E. Plourd, President & Chief Executive
Officer of Community West Bancshares. “Total loans increased 2.5%
during the quarter, or 10% annually, reflecting increases in the
commercial real estate and manufactured housing loan portfolios.
Additionally, our net interest margin improved substantially on a
linked quarter basis improving 15 basis points to 4.01% as we took
advantage of interest rate increases enacted by the Federal Reserve
and invested cash balances into higher yielding securities. We
remain well positioned to benefit further from any anticipated rate
increases in the months ahead.”

Income Statement
Net interest income totaled $11.0 million in
second quarter 2022, compared to $10.7 million in both the
preceding quarter and the second quarter of 2021. The Company
recognized $146,000 of income in interest and net fees related to
PPP loans during the second quarter, compared to $399,000 of income
in interest and net fees during first quarter 2022, and $1.1
million for second quarter 2021. As of June 30, 2022, there was
$17,000 remaining in net unrecognized fees related to PPP loans
that will be recognized as income through amortization or once the
loans are either paid off or forgiven by the SBA. In the first six
months of 2022, net interest income increased 4.9% to $21.7
million, compared to $20.7 million in the first six months of
2021.
Net interest margin was 4.01% for second quarter
2022, a 15-basis point increase compared to first quarter 2022, and
a 23-basis point contraction compared to second quarter 2021.
“During the second quarter, we continued deploying excess cash into
securities and higher yielding cash equivalents, which had a
significant impact on net interest margin compared to the prior
quarter,” said Richard Pimentel, Chief Financial Officer. Lower
deposit rates also contributed to net interest margin expansion
during the quarter, primarily due to the shifting deposit mix and
outflows of higher costing deposits. The cost of funds for the
second quarter decreased 2-basis points to 0.28%, compared to 0.30%
for the preceding quarter, and improved by 13-basis points compared
to 0.41% for the second quarter of 2021. PPP loans, including fees,
accounted for 3-basis points of net interest margin for the second
quarter compared to 10-basis points in first quarter 2022, and
10-basis points in second quarter 2021. In the first six months of
2022, the net interest margin was 3.93%, compared to 4.22% in the
first six months of 2021.
Non-interest income totaled $1.1 million in
second quarter 2022, compared to $1.3 million in first quarter
2022, and $872,000 in second quarter 2021. Other income was
$323,000 in the second quarter 2022 compared to $796,000 in the
first quarter 2022. The decline in other income was due to a
$549,000 tax exempt payout on a BOLI policy that was paid in the
first quarter partially offset by a $104,000 gain from the sale of
a previously foreclosed asset. Other loan fees were $377,000 for
the second quarter, compared to $246,000 in first quarter 2022 and
$310,000 in second quarter 2021. Gain on sale of loans was $136,000
in the second quarter, compared to $60,000 in the first quarter of
2022 and $130,000 in second quarter 2021. Non-interest income
increased 32.4% to $2.3 million in the first six months of 2022,
compared to $1.8 million in the first six months of 2021. The
increase was primarily due to the BOLI policy payout and gain on
sale of a previously foreclosed asset during the first quarter
discussed above partially offset by $52,000 in lower gain on sale
and $22,000 less in loan and document processing fees.
Non-interest expense totaled $8.1 million in
second quarter 2022, compared to $7.0 million in the first quarter
of 2022, and $6.7 million in the second quarter of 2021.
Non-interest expense for the prior quarter reflects a collection
and legal expense recovery of $992,000 as a result of a legal
settlement. Salaries and employee benefits, the Company’s largest
component of non-interest expense, increased $45,000 compared to
first quarter 2022, and increased $531,000 compared to second
quarter 2021 due to increased pressure on wages and benefits as a
result of increased inflation and low unemployment. The Company’s
efficiency ratio was 67.26% for second quarter, compared to 57.97%
for first quarter 2022, and 57.70% for second quarter 2021. In the
first six months of 2022, non-interest expense was $15.1 million,
compared to $13.5 million in the first six months of 2021.

million increase compared to $226.1 million at March 31, 2022, and
a $34.4 million increase compared to $202.3 million at June 30,
2021. Higher cost interest-bearing demand deposits decreased $28.3
million to $475.9 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $504.2
million at March 31, 2022, and increased $26.2 million compared to

at June 30, 2022, compared to $104.8 million at March 31, 2022, and
$95.5 million at June 30, 2021. Book value per common share
increased to $12.32 at June 30, 2022, compared to $12.07 at

Credit Quality
“Credit quality metrics continue to improve,
with a substantial decrease in net-nonaccrual loans compared to a
year ago,” said Plourd. “We continue to closely monitor our loan
portfolio and have conservative credit monitoring structures in
place during all credit cycles.”
At June 30, 2022, asset quality reflected
improvement due to positive loan risk rating migrations during the
second quarter. Total classified loans and net non-accrual loans
decreased year-over-year due to improvements in the loan portfolio
and payoffs in these categories. All loans rated “Watch” or worse
are monitored monthly and proactive measures are taken when any
signs of deterioration to the credit are discovered. Net loan
recoveries totaled $66,000 during the second quarter of 2022,
compared to net loan recoveries of $427,000 in the preceding
quarter and net loan recoveries of $48,000 in second quarter
2021.
The Company recorded a provision expense of
$252,000 in the second quarter, compared to a negative provision
expense of $284,000 in first quarter 2022, and a negative provision
expense of $41,000 in second quarter 2021. The allowance for loan
losses was $10.9 million, or 1.22% of total loans held for
investment, at June 30, 2022, and 1.23% of total loans held for
investment excluding PPP loans. Net non-accrual loans, plus net
other assets acquired through foreclosure, decreased 10.1% to $2.7
million at June 30, 2022, compared to $2.9 million at March 31,
2022, and decreased 39.8% compared to $4.4 million at
June 30, 2021.
There was $379,000 in net non-accrual loans as
of June 30, 2022, compared to $536,000 at March 31, 2022, and $1.8
million at June 30, 2021. Of the $379,000 of net
non-accrual loans at June 30, 2022, $138,000 were manufactured
housing loans, and $241,000 were single family real estate
loans.
There was $2.3 million in other assets acquired
through foreclosure as of June 30, 2022, compared to $2.4 million
at March 31, 2022, and $2.6 million at June 30, 2021. The OREO
