SALINAS, Calif., July 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 1st Capital Bancorp (the “Company”) (OTCQX: FISB), the $960.9 million asset bank holding company and parent company of 1st Capital Bank (the “Bank”), today reported unaudited net income of $609 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of 42.5% compared to net income of $1.06 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, and a decrease of 75.9% compared to net income of $2.52 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
Deposit balances have increased significantly with growth of $62.0 million, or 7.6%, in the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared to March 31, 2023. As a result of this substantial increase in liquidity, the Company paid off the entire $55.0 million of other borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2023. Loan demand remained strong in the second quarter as the Company’s core loans increased $22.3 million, or 4.8%, at June 30, 2023 compared to March 31, 2023. This growth was partially offset by a $10 million decline in wholesale loan balances. Loan yields expanded 0.18 basis points (bps) to 4.95% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared to 4.77% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Core loan asset quality remained strong and stable with nonperforming assets to total assets of 0.07% and 0.16% at June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.
“Our bankers remain focused on serving the growing needs of our clients despite the current macro-economic conditions, including elevated interest rates and the recent market disruptions,” stated Sam Jimenez, Chief Executive Officer. “Their efforts resulted in robust organic deposit and loan growth in the period which will further position the Company to improve on our second quarter’s operating performance. The Bank’s financial strength including a strong and stable core deposit base, ample and diverse sources of liquidity, and a solid capital position will continue to allow the team to remain focused on building long-term value for our shareholders.”

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
The Company’s second quarter 2023 net interest income decreased $226 thousand, or 2.9%, to $7.63 million as compared with $7.86 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, as funding costs outpaced expansion in earning asset yields. Loan interest income increased $504 thousand, or 7.50%, to $7.22 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $6.72 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Interest income on investment securities remained consistent at $1.93 million and $1.94 million, respectively, for the quarters ended June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023. Other interest income increased $131 thousand, or 42.1%, to $442 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared to $311 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, due to increases in average cash balances. Interest expense increased $854 thousand, or 71.8%, to $2.04 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1.19 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, due to the cost of wholesale borrowings and brokered CD’s in the second quarter and a change in deposit mix to higher yielding money market and time deposit products. Interest expense for each of the quarters presented includes $169 thousand related to subordinated debt.
The Company’s net interest margin declined by 19 basis points (bps) to 3.20% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 from 3.39% when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by the increase in funding costs. The 0.18 bps expansion of loan yields from 4.77% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 to 4.95% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was outpaced by the increased funding costs. The Company’s cost of funds increased 37 bps from 0.55% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 to 0.92% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, more commonly referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) method on January 1, 2023, using the modified retrospective method with no adjustments to prior period comparative financial statements for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposure as well as held to maturity securities, which resulted in a $127 thousand increase to the allowance for credit losses, a $3 thousand reserve for held-to-maturity securities and a $26 thousand increase to the reserve for unfunded commitments. The impact to retained earnings, net of taxes, was $111 thousand. Reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under ASU 2016-13 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States.
Provision expense of $1.05 million was recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $690 thousand in the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The provision expense was driven by loan growth, charge offs in the lease and consumer pools, and increased allocations to the wholesale loan pool portfolios.
Noninterest Expenses
The Company’s total non-interest expense increased $108 thousand, or 1.79%, to $6.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $6.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. This increase is primarily due to an increase in FDIC insurance assessment.
Balance Sheet Summary
The Company’s total assets at June 30, 2023 increased $6.4 million, or 0.7%, to $960.9 million as compared to $954.5 million at March 31, 2023.
Cash and due from banks decreased $1.3 million, or 2.7%, to $44.3 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $45.6 million at March 31, 2023.
Total loans outstanding were $585.1 million as of June 30, 2023, representing a $12.3 million, or 2.1%, increase from the March 31, 2023 outstanding balance of $572.8 million. Growth in owner occupied commercial real estate loan originations comprised the majority of loan growth in the second quarter, partially offset by declines in wholesale consumer and lease pools which continue to pay down. The Company has not purchased any wholesale loan pools in 2023.

The investment portfolio decreased $6.6 million to $293.1 million from a balance of $299.7 million at March 31, 2023. The decline is reflective of paydowns and a $3.1 million increase in unrealized losses associated with the Company’s available-for-sale investment security portfolio; unrealized losses totaled $38.6 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $35.5 million at March 31, 2023. The increase in unrealized losses was driven by changes in the treasury yield curve that negatively impacted the portfolio’s valuation. At June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, $70.5 million and $71.0 million, respectively, or approximately 24%, of the investment portfolio is classified as held-to-maturity.
Total deposits were $879.4 million at June 30, 2023 representing a $62.0 million, or 7.6%, increase compared to total deposits of $817.4 million at March 31, 2023. Second quarter deposit growth benefitted from industry stabilization and represents growth in both new and existing relationships. Noninterest-bearing balances continue to comprise nearly half of total deposits at June 30, 2023.

Uninsured deposits represent $314.2 million, or 47%, of total deposits at June 30, 2023. The Company maintains borrowing capacity of $394.2 million in secured and unsecured funding sources at June 30, 2023 covering 125.4% of uninsured balances.
Subordinated debt balances totaled $14.8 at June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023. Other borrowings totaled $0 and $55.0 million at June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively as deposit growth and cash flows generated by the loan and bond portfolios provided liquidity to pay off $55.0 million in other borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2023.
Shareholder’s equity totaled $57.8 million at June 30, 2023, a decrease of $500 thousand, or 0.9%, compared to $58.3 million at March 31, 2023. The decrease is reflective of the increase in unrealized losses on the available-for-sale investment security portfolio, the impact of which flows through accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), a component of equity, partially offset by an increase in the fair value of the cap corridor hedge which positively impacted AOCI. The negative AOCI impact in second quarter was partially offset by $609 thousand in net income contribution. The unrealized loss position on the held-to-maturity investment securities was captured at the date of transfer and amortizes over the remaining life of the bonds with market value movements having no future impact on the unrealized loss position of these bonds.
Asset Quality
At June 30, 2023, nonperforming assets were 0.07% of the Company’s total assets, compared with 0.16% at March 31, 2023. The allowance for credit losses was 1.15% of outstanding loans at June 30, 2023, compared to 1.29% at March 31, 2023. The Company had $138 thousand and $665 thousand in nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively, representing .02% and .12% of total loans, respectively. The Company recorded net charge-offs of $1.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $789 thousand in the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Charge-offs for the periods ended June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 were virtually all within the purchased consumer and lease pools, with the exception of a $46 thousand charge off of the unguaranteed portion of an SBA loan in the second quarter.
