BayCom Corp ("BayCom" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:BCML), the holding company for United Business Bank (the "Bank" or "UBB"), announced earnings of $6.5 million, or $0.51 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2022, compared to earnings of $5.4 million, or $0.51 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $4.5 million, or $0.40 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2021.

Acquisition of Pacific Enterprise Bancorp

On February 1, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of Pacific Enterprise Bancorp ("PEB") pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 7, 2021 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and between BayCom and PEB. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, PEB merged with and into BayCom (the "Merger"), with BayCom as the surviving corporation in the Merger. Immediately following the Merger, Pacific Enterprise Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PEB, merged with and into United Business Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BayCom (the "Bank Merger"), with United Business Bank as the surviving bank in the Bank Merger.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, BayCom paid aggregate consideration to PEB shareholders of approximately $64.4 million consisting of 3,032,632 shares of BayCom common stock and $275,000 in cash. Noninterest income for the current quarter included $1.6 million in bargain purchase gain, offset by $3.1 million of nonrecurring acquisition-related expenses included in noninterest expense related to the Company's acquisition of PEB.

Net income for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the prior quarter increased $1.1 million, or 19.3%, primarily as a result of a $3.2 million increase in net interest income, a $1.8 million increase in noninterest income, and a $489,000 decrease in provision for loan losses, partially offset by a $4.6 million increase in noninterest expense.

Net income for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter 2021 increased $2.0 million or 43.2%, primarily as a result of a $4.3 million increase in net interest income and a $2.2 million increase in noninterest income, partially offset by a $4.2 million increase in noninterest expense.

George Guarini, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased with our first quarter 2022 performance and the completion of our merger with Pacific Enterprise Bank. We continue to believe in our approach to expand through strategic acquisitions accompanied by moderate organic growth. Our acquisitions help us diversify our loan portfolio with seasoned loans and compliment or expand our market areas. We are encouraged by the M&A opportunities being presented to us and look forward to expanding our geographical market reach, building market penetration, and adding value for our clients and our shareholders in 2022."

Guarini concluded, "This quarter, in addition to our continued stock repurchases, we announced our first cash dividend to our shareholders, reaffirming the Company's commitment to returning value to our shareholders."

Earnings

Net interest income increased $3.2 million, or 16.4%, to $22.4 million for the first quarter of 2022 from $19.2 million in the preceding quarter and increased $4.3 million, or 23.6%, from $18.1 million in the same quarter a year ago. The increase in net interest income between the periods reflects increases in interest income on loans and, to a lesser extent, investment securities due to increases in the average balances of these portfolios, partially offset by lower recognition of deferred loan fee income from Small Business Administration ("SBA") loan forgiveness related to Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans. Average interest earning assets increased $258.8 million, or 11.6%, and $393.6 million, or 18.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the prior quarter and the same period in 2021, respectively, primarily due to increases in both average loans receivable and investment securities, partially offset by decreases in average interest-bearing deposits in banks. Average yield on interest earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was 4.03%, compared to 3.79% for the fourth quarter of 2021 and 3.91% the first quarter of 2021. The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities for both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was 0.64%, compared to 0.71% for the first quarter of 2021.

Interest income on loans, including fees, increased $3.2 million, or 16.1%, to $22.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the prior quarter primarily as a result of a $251.3 million increase in the average loan balance and 14 basis point increase in the average yield due to higher rates earned on new loan originations and higher yielding acquired PEB loans compared to our portfolio, as well as upward adjustments on adjustable-rate loans to reflect higher market rates. The average loan balance totaled $1.9 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared $1.6 billion for the prior quarter and the same quarter a year ago. The average yield on loans, including the accretion of the net discount for the first quarter of 2022 and deferred PPP loan fees recognized, was 4.89%, compared to 4.75% for the fourth quarter of 2021 and 4.79% for the first quarter of 2021. Interest income on loans, including fees, increased $3.7 million, or 19.5%, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021 primarily due to $275.8 million increase in average loan balance, as well as the higher average yield earned on loans.

Interest income on loans included $1.3 million, $409,000 and $675,000 in accretion of the net discount on acquired loans and revenue from purchase credit impaired loans in excess of discounts for the quarters ended March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and March 31, 2021, respectively. The balance of the net discount on these acquired loans totaled $603,000, $2.1 million, and $2.7 million at March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and March 31, 2021, respectively. Interest income included $1.3 million in fees earned related to PPP loans in the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $1.9 million in the previous quarter and $1.2 million during the same quarter in 2021. As of March 31, 2022, total unrecognized fees on PPP loans were $735,000. Interest income also included fees related to prepayment penalties of $235,000 in the current quarter, compared to $439,000 in the previous quarter, and $562,000 in the same quarter last year.

Interest income on investment securities and interest-bearing deposits in banks increased $243,000 and $740,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the prior quarter and first quarter of 2021, respectively, primarily due to a $27.6 million and $68.1 million increase in the average investment securities balance, respectively, as well as a higher average yield earned on investment securities.

Interest expense increased $271,000, or 12.4%, to $2.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the prior quarter and increased $264,000, or 12.1%, from the same quarter a year ago due to increases in the average balance of deposits. The average balance of deposits totaled $2.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared $2.0 billion and $1.9 billion for the prior quarter and the same quarter a year ago, respectively. The average cost of funds for both the first quarter of 2022 and fourth quarter of 2021 was 0.64%, compared to 0.71% for the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in the average cost of funds during the current quarter, compared to the same period in 2021, primarily was due to lower interest rates paid on deposits. The average cost of total deposits for the first quarter of 2022 was 0.27%, compared to 0.24% for the previous quarter and 0.26% for the first quarter of 2021. The average balance of noninterest bearing deposits increased $43.7 million or 6.1% to $758.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $738.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and $714.9 million for the comparable quarter a year ago.

Annualized net interest margin was 3.63% for the first quarter of 2022, compared to 3.41% for the preceding quarter and 3.49% for first quarter of 2021. During the quarter, the recognition of deferred loans fees related to PPP loans and accretion on acquired loans had a positive impact on the net interest margin, coupled with the positive impact from increases in adjustable-rate instruments due to the 25 basis point increase in the federal funds rate. The average yield on PPP loans was 5.89%, including the recognition of deferred PPP loan fees, resulting in a positive impact to the net interest margin of eight basis points during the quarter, compared to an average yield of 8.95% with a positive impact to the net interest margin of eight basis points during the previous quarter, and an average yield of 4.51% with a positive impact to the net interest margin of three basis points during the same quarter in 2021. The accretion of the net discount on acquired loans increased the average yield on loans by 21 basis points during the first quarter of 2022, compared to 15 basis points during the previous quarter, and 17 basis points during the first quarter of 2021. The incremental accretion and the impact on loan yield will change during any period based on the volume of prepayments, but is expected to decrease over time as the balance of the net discount declines.

Based on our review of the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2022, the Company recorded a $7,000 provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2022, compared to a $496,000 and no provision for loan losses in the preceding quarter and the first quarter a year ago, respectively. The provision for loan losses in the first quarter of 2022 was primarily due to new loan production.

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2022 increased $1.8 million, or 71.2%, to $4.4 million compared to $2.6 million in the previous quarter and increased $2.2 million, or 96.6%, compared to $2.2 million for the same quarter in 2021. The increase in noninterest income for the current quarter compared to the previous quarter was primarily due to the recognition of $1.6 million in bargain purchase gain related to our acquisition of PEB, coupled with $164,000 increase in income from loan servicing fees and other fees. The increase in noninterest income for the current quarter compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily due to the $1.6 million in bargain purchase gain and a $561,000 increase in gain on sale of loans due to an increase in the volume of loans sold, partially offset by $66,000 decrease in income from our investment in SBIC fund.

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2022 increased $4.6 million, or 33.2%, to $18.3 million compared to $13.8 million for the fourth quarter in 2021 and increased $4.2 million, or 30.1%, compared to $14.1 million for the same quarter in 2021. Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2022 included $3.1 million of nonrecurring acquisition-related expenses related to our PEB acquisition, which were comprised of $555,000 in salary and employee benefits, $1.1 million in data processing expenses, $725,000 in professional and legal fees, $375,000 in occupancy expense, and $347,000 in other expenses.

Excluding acquisition-related expenses for each of the periods, noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2022 increased $1.5 million, or 10.8%, compared to the prior quarter primarily due to a $1.2 million increase in salary and employee benefits as a result of normal year end salary increases and an increase in the number of full time equivalent employees, a $277,000 increase in occupancy costs for the Southern California branch acquired from PEB and annual increases in lease expense for our other locations, a $193,000 increase in other noninterest expense, partially offset by a $130,000 decrease in data processing expense. Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2022 increased $1.2 million, or 8.2%, compared to the same quarter a year ago primarily due to an $870,000 increase in salary and employee benefits, a $236,000 increase in occupancy costs and a $340,000 increase in other noninterest expense, partially offset by a $284,000 decrease in data processing expense.

The provision for income taxes decreased $144,000 to $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, and increased $232,000 compared to the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in income tax provision in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to the non-taxable bargain purchase gain in the current quarter. The increase in income tax provision in the current quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago was due primarily to an increase in taxable income, partially offset by the non-taxable bargain purchase gain. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2022 was 23.0% compared to 26.8% for the fourth quarter of 2021 and 27.3% for the same quarter a year ago. The effective tax rate was lower for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the prior quarter and same quarter a year ago primarily due to the non-taxable bargain purchase gain in the current quarter.

Loans and Credit Quality

Loans, net of deferred fees, increased $339.0 million to $2.0 billion at March 31, 2022, compared to $1.7 billion at December 31, 2021, and increased $419.7 million compared to $1.6 billion at March 31, 2021. The increase in loans at March 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021 primarily was due to $411.6 million of loans acquired from PEB and $81.6 million of new loan originations, partially offset by $143.3 million of loan repayments, including $51.6 million in PPP loan repayments, and $10.9 million in loan sales. At March 31, 2022, there was a total of 375 PPP loans outstanding totaling $114.6 million, compared to 323 loans totaling $69.6 million at December 31, 2021. The increase from the prior quarter reflects PPP loans acquired from PEB.

Nonperforming loans, consisting of non-accrual loans and accruing loans that are 90 days or more past due, totaled $12.6 million or 0.63% of total loans at March 31, 2022, compared to $6.9 million or 0.41% of total loans at December 31, 2021, and $9.8 million or 0.62% of total loans at March 31, 2021. The increase in non-performing loans was primarily due to one $4.9 million commercial and industrial loan which was restructured and placed on non-accrual during the current quarter. The portion of nonaccrual loans guaranteed by government agencies totaled $822,000, $841,000, and $850,000 at March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and March 31, 2021, respectively. There was one loan totaling $117,000 that was 90 days or more past due and still accruing at March 31, 2022, compared to no loans at both December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021. Accruing loans past due between 30 and 89 days at March 31, 2022, were $3.4 million, compared to $3.8 million at December 31, 2021, and $643,000 at March 31, 2021.

At March 31, 2022, the Company's allowance for loan losses was $17.7 million, or 0.88% of total loans, compared to $17.7 million, or 1.06% of total loans, at December 31, 2021 and $17.5 million, or 1.10% of total loans, at March 31, 2021. We recorded net charge-offs of $7,000 for the first quarter of 2022, compared to net charge-offs of $95,000 in the prior quarter and no charge-offs were recorded in the same quarter in 2021.

In accordance with acquisition accounting, loans acquired from acquisitions were recorded at their estimated fair value, which resulted in a net discount to the loans contractual amounts. Credit discounts are included in the determination of fair value and as a result, no allowance for loan losses is recorded for acquired loans at the acquisition date. However, the allowance for loan loss includes an estimate for credit deterioration of acquired loans that occurs after the date of acquisition, which is included in the loan loss provision in the period that the deterioration occurred. The discount recorded on the acquired loans is not reflected in the allowance for loan losses or related allowance coverage ratios. As of March 31, 2022, acquired loans net of their discount, totaled $349.8 million and the remaining net discount on these acquired loans was $603,000, compared to $51.3 million of acquired loans and $2.1 million of net discounts at December 31, 2021, and $112.3 million of acquired loans and $2.7 million of net discounts at March 31, 2021. The net discount includes a credit discount based on estimated losses in the acquired loans partially offset a premium, if any, based market interest rates on the date of acquisition. The decrease in the net discount on acquired loans from December 31, 2021 was due to a net premium on the PEB loans given the higher yielding portfolio compared to current market interest rates.

Deposits and Borrowings

Deposits totaled $2.3 billion at March 31, 2022, compared to $2.0 billion at December 31, 2021 and $1.9 billion at March 31, 2021. The increase in deposits from the prior quarter is primarily attributable to the deposits acquired from PEB. At March 31, 2022, noninterest bearing deposits totaled $783.1 million or 33.6% of total deposits, compared to $710.1 million or 35.8% of total deposits at December 31, 2021, and $726.1 million or 37.7% at March 31, 2021.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had outstanding junior subordinated debt, net of market-to-market, related to junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures assumed in connection with its previous acquisitions totaling $8.4 million compared to $8.3 million at March 31, 2021. At March 31, 2022, the Company had outstanding subordinated debt, net of costs to issue, totaling $63.6 million compared to $63.5 million and $63.4 million at December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

At both March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had no other borrowings outstanding, compared to $5.0 million of FHLB advances outstanding at March 31, 2021.

Shareholders' Equity

Shareholders' equity totaled $324.7 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $262.6 million at December 31, 2021, and $254.6 million at March 31, 2021. The increase from the prior period was primarily due to issuance of stock related to our acquisition of PEB and net income, partially offset by the repurchases of $1.3 million of common stock and $685,000 of accrued cash dividends payable. In addition, shareholder's equity was adversely impacted by a $7.0 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income resulting in a $4.8 million loss related to an increase in the unrealized loss on available for sale securities reflecting the increase in market interest rates during the current quarter. At March 31, 2022, 685,355 shares remained available for future purchases under the current stock repurchase plan.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles utilized in the United States ("GAAP"), this earnings release contains the tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP financial measure. Tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible common shareholders' equity by the number of common shares outstanding at the end of the period. Tangible common shareholders' equity is calculated by excluding intangible assets from shareholders' equity. For this financial measure, the Company's intangible assets are goodwill and core deposit intangibles. The Company believes that this measure is consistent with the capital treatment by our bank regulatory agencies, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios, and presents this measure to facilitate comparison of the quality and composition of the Company's capital over time in comparison to its competitors. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Further, these non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies.

Reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures is presented below.
