“PCB continued to deliver strong first quarter results with
momentum in loan and deposit growth stemming from our ongoing focus
on relationship banking and strategic expansions, while maintaining
very strong credit metrics,” said Henry Kim, President and Chief
Executive Officer. “Currently, we are successfully undergoing our
core system conversion that will enhance operational efficiency,
functionality, and customer experience.”
“Our first quarter net income of $4.7 million included a total
of $1.8 million in non-recurring expenses consisting of core
conversion charges of $1.0 million and a SBA recovery demand of
$815 thousand. During the quarter loan balance increased 3.1% to
$2.4 billion, deposit balance increased 2.2% to $2.4 billion, and
we continued to maintain robust ACL to loans ratio of 1.18%, and
non-performing assets and classified assets to total assets ratios
of 0.17% and 0.27%, respectively. The persistently higher interest
rate environment and its effect on our funding costs resulted in
further compression in our net interest margin during the quarter.
However, we feel that our funding costs have peaked in the first
quarter and our net interest margin is at near the bottom.”
Mr. Kim added, “As we look ahead for the rest of the year, PCB
continues to be well positioned to deliver solid financial results
with strong balance sheet growth and maintain sound asset quality
with robust capital levels that are above our peers to operate in
uncertain economic circumstances.”

Total funding is the sum of
interest-bearing liabilities and noninterest-bearing deposits. The
cost of total funding is calculated as annualized total interest
expense divided by average total funding.
Loans. The increase in average
yield for the current quarter was primarily due to increases in
overall interest rates on loans, partially offset by decreases in
accretion of discount on loans and prepayment fees.
The following table presents a composition of total loans by
interest rate type accompanied with the weighted-average

Investment Securities. The decrease
in average yield for the current quarter compared with the previous
quarter was primarily due to a decrease in average balance of net
unrealized losses on investment securities. The increase for the
current quarter compared with the year-ago quarter was primarily
due to higher yield on newly purchased investment securities.
Other Interest-Earning Assets. The
increase in average yield for the current quarter was primarily due
to increases in interest rate on cash held at the Federal Reserve
Bank and dividends received on Federal Home Loan Bank stock.
Interest-Bearing Deposits. The
increase in average cost for the current quarter was primarily due
to an increase in market rates.

Salaries and Employee Benefits. The
increase for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter
was primarily due to increases in vacation accrual and other
employee benefits. The increase for the current quarter compared
with the year-ago quarter was primarily due to increases in
salaries and incentives tied to sales of SBA loans originated at
loan production offices, partially offset by decreases in bonus and
vacation accruals. The number of full-time equivalent employees was
272, 270 and 276 as of March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and March
31, 2023, respectively.
Occupancy and Equipment. The
increase for the current quarter was primarily due to an expansion
of headquarters location in the second half of 2023 and the
preparation of a relocation of a regional office and two branches
into one location in Orange County, California.
Professional Fees. The increase for
the current quarter was primarily due to increases in professional
fees related to a core system conversion that was completed in
April 2024.
Marketing and Business Promotion.
The decrease for the current quarter compared with the previous
quarter was primarily due to the Company’s 20th anniversary
celebration during the previous quarter.
Other Expense. The increase for the
current quarter was primarily due to a termination charge for the
legacy core system of $508 thousand and an expense of $815 thousand
for a reimbursement for an SBA loan guarantee previously paid by
the SBA on a loan originated in 2014 that subsequently defaulted
and was ultimately determined to be ineligible for the SBA
guaranty. The Company retained the legal services of a law firm
specializing on matters equivalent to our recovery demand for SBA
to reconsider all the evidences in order for us to recoup it
ranging from partial to full amount.

pay-offs of $393.9 million. The decrease in loans held-for-sale for
the current quarter was primarily due to sales of $19.4 million,
and pay-downs and pay-offs of $1.6 million, partially offset by new
funding of $19.1 million.

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC
326 through the application of the modified retrospective
transition approach. The initial adjustment to the ACL reflects the
expected lifetime credit losses associated with the composition of
financial assets within the scope of ASC 326 as of January 1, 2023,
as well as management’s current expectation of future economic
conditions. The Company recorded a net decrease of $1.9 million to
the beginning balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2023
for the cumulative effect adjustment, reflecting an initial
adjustment to the ACL on loans of $1.1 million and the ACL on
off-balance sheet credit exposures of $1.6 million, net of related
deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of $788
thousand.
Investment Securities
Total investment securities were $138.2 million at March 31,
2024, a decrease of $5.2 million, or 3.6%, from $143.3 million at
December 31, 2023, and a decrease of $6.5 million, or 4.5%, from
$144.7 million at March 31, 2023. The decrease for the current
quarter was primarily due to a fair value decrease of $1.6 million,
principal pay-downs of $3.5 million and net premium amortization of
$41 thousand.

Total retail deposits were $2.04 billion at March 31, 2024, an
increase of $55.2 million, or 2.8%, from $1.99 billion at December
31, 2023, and an increase of $118.4 million, or 6.2%, from $1.92
billion at March 31, 2023.
The decrease in noninterest-bearing demand deposits was
primarily due to strong deposit market competition and the
migration to interest-bearing deposits. To retain existing and
attract new customers, the Bank offers competitive rates on deposit
products.
The increase in retail time deposits for the current quarter was
primarily due to new accounts of $123.2 million, renewals of the
matured accounts of $259.1 million and balance increases of $8.7
million, partially offset by matured and closed accounts of $341.9
million.

Shareholders’ Equity
Shareholders’ equity was $350.0 million at March 31, 2024, an
increase of $1.1 million, or 0.3%, from $348.9 million at December
31, 2023, and an increase of $13.2 million, or 3.9%, from $336.8
million at March 31, 2023. The increase for the current quarter was
primarily due to net income, partially offset by an increase in
other comprehensive loss of $1.2 million and cash dividends
declared on common stock of $2.6 million.
Stock Repurchases
In 2023, the Company repurchased and retired 512,657 shares of
common stock at a weighted-average price of $17.22, totaling $8.8
million. The Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock
during the current quarter. As of March 31, 2024, the Company is
authorized to purchase 592,724 additional shares under the 2023
stock repurchase program, which expires on August 2, 2024.
Preferred Stock Under the Emergency
Capital Investment Program
On May 24, 2022, the Company issued 69,141 shares of Senior
Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C, liquidation
preference of $1,000 per share (“Series C Preferred Stock”) for the
capital investment of $69.1 million from the U.S. Treasury under
the Emergency Capital Investment Program (“ECIP”). The ECIP
investment is treated as tier 1 capital for regulatory capital
purposes.
The Series C Preferred Stock bears no dividend for the first 24
months following the investment date. Thereafter, the dividend rate
will be adjusted based on the lending growth criteria listed in the
terms of the ECIP investment with an annual dividend rate of up to
2%. After the tenth anniversary of the investment date, the
dividend rate will be fixed based on the average annual amount of
lending in years 2 through 10.
The Company expects to pay the initial quarterly dividend at an
annualized dividend rate of 2% beginning in the second quarter of
2024.
Capital Ratios
Based on the Federal Reserve’s Small Bank Holding Company
policy, the Company is not currently subject to consolidated
minimum capital measurements. At such time as the Company reaches
the $3 billion asset level, it will be subject to consolidated
capital requirements independent of the Bank. For comparison
purposes, the Company’s capital ratios are included in following
table, which presents capital ratios for the Company and the Bank

PCB Bancorp and Subsidiary Non-GAAP Measures ($ in
thousands)
Return on average tangible common equity, tangible common
equity per common share and tangible common equity to total assets
ratios
The Company's TCE is calculated by subtracting preferred stock
from shareholders’ equity. The Company does not have any intangible
assets for the presented periods. Return on average TCE, TCE per
common share, and TCE to total assets constitute supplemental
financial information determined by methods other than in
accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are used by
management in its analysis of the Company's performance. These
non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as substitutes for results
determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily
comparable to non-GAAP measures that may be presented by other
companies. The following tables provide reconciliations of the
non-GAAP measures with financial measures defined by GAAP.
