Net income growth of 13% year-over-year was primarily driven by improved credit quality, loan and deposit growth, and strategic capital actions.
The sequential decline in net income was attributed to lower gains from REO sales as the bank aggressively works to resolve non-performing assets.
Management highlighted a strategic pivot toward Northern California with a new loan production office in Burlingame to capture the large Asian-American commercial market.
Credit quality improved significantly with non-performing assets declining 11% to 1.02% of total assets, supported by a 47% reduction in non-performing loans.
The deposit mix improved as non-interest-bearing deposits rose to 17.5% of total deposits, reducing reliance on expensive wholesale funding.
Net interest margin faced temporary pressure from the repricing of $120 million in subordinated debt from a 4% fixed rate to a 6.98% floating rate.
Management expects net interest margin to improve in the second half of 2026, aided by the $40 million sub-debt redemption and higher-yielding loan growth.
Loan growth is projected to reach the mid-to-high single-digit range for the full year, supported by a healthy pipeline from the new Northern California team.
Non-interest expense is expected to remain within the $18 million to $19 million range, trending toward the higher end due to investments in production and technology.
The bank anticipates resolving its largest non-performing asset, a $19.4 million credit currently in REO, during the second half of 2026.
Guidance assumes a 'higher for longer' interest rate environment, which management believes will have a neutral impact on funding but benefit earning asset yields.
Redeemed $40 million of subordinated debt on July 1st to reduce future interest expense and optimize the capital structure.
Authorized a new 1 million share repurchase program, representing 6% of shares outstanding, reflecting confidence in the bank's capital position.
The $19.4 million transfer to REO represents a large, partially completed construction project requiring a specific buyer for resolution.
Efficiency ratio increased to 57.5% due to lower non-interest income, though management views this as temporary during the credit resolution phase.
