OAKLAND, Calif., Jan. 30, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- California BanCorp (the “Company”) (OTCQX-CALB), the parent company of California Bank of Commerce (the “Bank”), today announced record earnings and strong asset growth year-over-year for 2018. Net income increased 55% to $8.7 million, or $1.22 per share in 2018 from $5.6 million, or $0.89 per share in 2017.
Excluding non-recurring expenses in both 2018 and 2017, net income for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $9.6 million, or $1.36 per share, compared to $7.6 million, or $1.20 per share in 2017. Net income in 2017 was negatively impacted by a tax adjustment of $1.7 million, or $0.27 per share, resulting from the write-off of a portion of the deferred tax asset due to the change in corporate tax rates when the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law in December 2017.
Net income in 2018 was primarily the result of strong growth in average earning assets of $116 million, or 15% to $876 million in 2018 compared to 2017. Average total loans increased by $64 million, or 9% to $756 million in 2018 compared to 2017, with 52% or $33 million of the increase in commercial and industrial loans.
At December 31, 2018, total loans were $847 million, a $114 million, or 16% increase over total loans at December 31, 2017, with $62 million of the increase occurring during the fourth quarter of 2018, primarily in late December 2018.
Total assets reached a record $1.0 billion as of December 31, 2018, up 16% or $139 million compared to a year ago. This growth was propelled by strong commercial deposit generation as shown by a $38 million, or 12%, increase in non-interest bearing deposits and an additional $76 million, or 17% increase, in interest-bearing deposits. “Achieving $1 billion in total assets is a directional milestone for our team and demonstrates the Bank’s impact on the San Francisco Bay Area business community,” stated Steve Shelton, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Also during 2018, the Company completed a successful private placement of common stock for a net increase in equity of $23.6 million. These funds allowed the Company to pay-off its outstanding senior debt and support organic growth targets over the next several years.

Balance Sheet
Total loans increased by $114 million or 16% from $733 million at December 31, 2017, to $847 million at December 31, 2018. The largest categories of growth within the loan portfolio were in relationship-based commercial real estate loans at $106 million and commercial & industrial loans at $12 million.
As a result of a strong cash position and with higher market interest rates during the latter part of 2018, the Bank increased its investment portfolio by $30 million to $43 million at December 31, 2018 compared to $13 million at the end of 2017.
Total deposits increased by $114 million, or 15% to $874 million at December 31, 2018, from $760 million at December 31, 2017, with growth primarily concentrated in core commercial deposits, which increased by $131 million, or 20% to $780 million. Non-interest bearing deposits remained strong at 40.3% of total deposits at December 31, 2018, compared to 41.4% at December 31, 2017. Strong organic core deposit growth during 2018 provided the funding to return approximately $45 million in higher cost deposits during the second half of the year.
Shareholder’s Equity
Total shareholder’s equity increased by $36.3 million, or 43% from $84.7 million at December 31, 2017, to $121.1 million at December 31, 2018. The $36.3 million increase includes earnings during the twelve month period totaling $8.7 million, proceeds from the exercise of stock options totaling $3.1 million and $23.6 million in net proceeds from the Company’s successful private placement of common stock during the third quarter of 2018. Tangible book value per common share increased by 18% between the periods, from $12.01 at December 31, 2017, to $14.20 at December 31, 2018.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin – three months ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017
Net interest income was $9.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $1.3 million or 16% from $8.3 million for the same period in 2017. The increase in net interest income includes an increase of $1.8 million in interest income; the largest component of which was an increase in interest and fees on loans of $1.3 million. This increase in interest and fees on loans was primarily attributable to an increase in the average balance of loans outstanding of $70 million and the change in the Prime interest rate between the periods, with the yield on loans increasing by 20 basis points from 4.91% during the 2017 quarter to 5.12% during the current quarter.
The Bank additionally added to its investment securities portfolio during the 2018 quarter with a $39 million average increase to $53 million, compared to $13 million average balance during the fourth quarter of 2017. Interest earnings in investment securities during the 2018 quarter were $410 thousand compared to $66 thousand during the 2017 quarter and the average yield increased by 1.13% to 3.08% in the 2018 period from 1.95% in the 2017 quarter.
With the substantial increase in loan and investment earning assets during the fourth quarter of 2018, average cash and cash equivalent balances declined by $16 million compared to the 2017 quarter, although, as a result of the increase in market interest rates between the periods, interest income increased by $160 thousand to $503 thousand with a yield increase of 0.94% to 2.25% in the 2018 quarter compared to 1.31% in the 2017 quarter.
With the reduced level of lower yielding cash balances during the fourth quarter of 2018, in addition to the increased balances of both loans and investments, the yield on total interest-earning assets increased by 31 basis points to 4.73% in the 2018 quarter, compared to 4.42% during the same period in 2017.
Both non-interest-bearing and interest-bearing deposits grew at a strong rate between the periods, with average non-interest-bearing deposits up by $39 million, or 12% to $358 million and average interest-bearing deposits up by $33 million, or 7% to $496 million during the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to the same 2017 period. The increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits, as well as higher interest rates between the periods led to an increase in interest paid on total deposits of $615 thousand to $1.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2018 and an increase in the average rate paid on total deposits of 25 basis points to 0.65% in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to 0.40% in the 2017 quarter.
As a result of the additional capital funding acquired during the third quarter of 2018, the Company paid-off $11.5 million of senior debt during the period, reducing funds to $5.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to $16 million during the 2017 quarter. While the average balance declined, the average rate paid on these borrowed funds rose to 6.17% during the fourth quarter of 2018, up by 1.00% from 5.2% paid during the 2017 period, as the borrowing mix between the periods changed. At December 31, 2018, the Company’s total borrowings were $5.0 million in subordinated debt.
With higher rates and strong average earning asset growth during the fourth quarter of 2018, when compared to 2017, the net interest margin increased by 14 basis points to 4.09% during the 2018 period compared to 3.95% in the 2017 quarter.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin – twelve months ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017
Net interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, was $35.8 million, an increase of $4.3 million, or 14.0% from the $31.5 million for the same period in 2017. During the twelve month period the Bank benefited from a significant increase in average total deposit balances of $110 million or 16% to $815 million, which was deployed primarily into a $64 million increase in average total loans, a $43 million increase in average interest-earning cash and cash equivalent balances and a $9 million increase in average investment securities.
While average total interest-earning assets increased by $116 million, or 15% to $876 million during the 2018 period, the average yield increased by only 11 basis points to 4.67%, primarily as a result of the strong increase in the average balance of lower-yielding cash and cash equivalent balances of $43 million. The average yield on total average loans including fees for 2018 was 5.09%, up by 20 basis points compared to the 4.88% yield during 2017.
Of the $110 million increase in average total deposit balances between the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, $51 million were non-interest-bearing deposits while $59 million were interest-bearing. The overall cost of average total deposit balances was up by 20 basis points to 0.55% during 2018 compared to 0.35% during 2017. Average borrowed funds declined by $12.1 million from $24.1 million in 2017 to $12.1 million during 2018, while their cost increased by 2.37% to 5.35% in 2018 compared to 2.98% in 2017.
As a result of the increase in higher cost interest-bearing balances on the funding side and the impact of the higher volume but lower return cash and cash equivalent balances to interest-earning assets, the net interest margin declined by 6 basis points to 4.09% during 2018, compared to 4.15% in 2017.
Non-Interest Income and Expense – three months ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017
During the three months ended December 31, 2018, non-interest income totaled $862 thousand, an increase of $95 thousand, or 12% from the three month period ended December 31, 2017. The increase was primarily the result of higher commercial deposit account analysis fees, in addition to gains on loan and investment securities sales during the 2018 period, compared to 2017.
During the three months ended December 31, 2018, total non-interest expenses increased by $1.2 million, or 21% to $7.1 million compared to the same 2017 quarter. Of the increase, $551 thousand was in net salaries and benefits expenses, the result of hiring key lending and operational staff positions to support the Company’s continued growth. Occupancy and FF&E expense increased by $106 thousand or 16% to $773 thousand in the 2018 quarter as the Bank expanded into its new Walnut Creek, California location in the second half of 2017 and also expanded its Oakland, California space early in 2018. Other non-interest expenses increased by $584 thousand, or 35% to $2.3 million during the 2018 fourth quarter, primarily as a result of increased professional fees incurred during the period. Of the other fourth quarter non-interest expenses, $348 thousand were non-recurring and related to a strategic initiative.
Non-Interest Income and Expense – twelve months ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, non-interest income totaled $3.7 million, a $625 thousand, or 20% increase over the same period in 2017. This increase for the 2018 period was primarily the result of higher commercial deposit account analysis fees, gains on the sale of SBA loans and investment securities, and other loan fee income.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, non-interest expenses increased by $5.4 million or 26% to $26.4 million compared to the same period in 2017. Of this increase, $3.2 million was in net salaries and benefits expenses, the result of hiring key executive, lending and operational staff positions to support the Company’s continued growth, a non-recurring expense for the CEO transition, and a decrease in deferred loan origination costs compared to the twelve-month period in 2017. Occupancy and FF&E expense increased by $460 thousand or 19% to $2.9 million in the 2018 period as the Bank expanded into its new Walnut Creek, California location in the second half of 2017 and also expanded its Oakland, California space early in 2018. Other non-interest expenses increased by $1.7 million, or 28% to $7.9 million during 2018 period, primarily as a result of increased operating expenses of $641 thousand at the Bank holding company (the holding company was formed at June 30, 2017), in addition to higher professional fees. Other non-interest expenses incurred during 2018 included non-recurring costs of $942 thousand related to various strategic initiatives.
Credit Quality
Credit quality remains strong, with non-performing assets (“NPAs”) to total assets at 0.54% at December 31, 2018, compared to 0.25% at December 31, 2017, with non-performing loans at $5.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively, on those dates.
The loan loss reserve was $10.8 million, or 1.28% of total loans at December 31, 2018, compared to $9.3 million, or 1.27% at December 31, 2017.
Closing Remarks
“We are pleased to have achieved record growth in 2018 supported by the additional capital raised mid-year 2018,” stated Chairman Stephen Cortese. “We continue to execute our strategy of quality organic growth and investment in commercial business bankers and infrastructure to create extraordinary value for our shareholders in the years ahead.”
