Quarterly net income for the first quarter of 2024 was $6.8 million, or $0.50 per diluted common share, compared with net income of $9.0 million, or $0.66 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2023, and $12.4 million, or $0.91 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was largely due to a number of unanticipated expenses incurred during the quarter. The following non-GAAP measure is presented to illustrate the impact of certain unanticipated expenses on net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Total assets increased $111.9 million, or 3.0%, during the first quarter of 2024 to $3.87 billion, from $3.75 billion at December 31, 2023. Total loans, net of deferred fees increased $173.5 million, or 5.7%, during the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $3.20 billion, compared to $3.03 billion at December 31, 2023. Community bank loans increased $53.1 million, or 2.9%, and CCBX loans increased $120.3 million, or 10.1%. CCBX loan growth is net of $100.5 million in CCBX loans sold during the quarter ended March 31, 2024. We continue to monitor and actively manage the CCBX loan portfolio, and will continue to sell CCBX loans in the coming months as we work to strengthen the balance sheet by optimizing our CCBX portfolio through higher quality originations, loan sales, new products and building on our existing relationships. Deposits increased $102.6 million, or 3.1%, during the three months ended March 31, 2024. CCBX deposits grew $166.2 million, or 8.9%. Community bank deposits decreased $63.6 million, or 4.2%, as a result of managing our deposit rates during the quarter and letting some of our higher rate deposits run-off. Our cost of deposits for the community bank still increased as a result of higher rates and competitors offering and maintaining higher deposit rate offers during the quarter, increasing to 1.66% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 1.57% for the three months ended December 31, 2023.

We saw solid deposit growth in the first quarter, with deposits increasing $102.6 million, or 3.1%, compared to December 31, 2023. Fully insured IntraFi network reciprocal deposits decreased $3.4 million to $336.8 million as of March 31, 2024, compared to $340.1 million as of December 31, 2023. These fully insured reciprocal deposits allow our larger deposit customers to fully insure their deposits through a reciprocal agreement with other banks. We continue to monitor our liquidity position through diligent management of our liquid assets and liabilities as well as maintaining access to alternative sources of funds. As of March 31, 2024, we had $515.1 million in cash on the balance sheet and the capacity to borrow up to $659.5 million from Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank discount window, and an additional $50.0 million from a correspondent bank, with no borrowings, except minimal amounts to test the lines, under these facilities since the first quarter of 2022. Cash on the balance sheet and total borrowing capacity totaled $1.17 billion, which represented 33.9% of total deposits and exceeded our $495.6 million in uninsured deposits as of March 31, 2024.

"In the current economic climate, banks and Banking-as-a-Service ("BaaS") providers are facing significant challenges. However, I am pleased to share that our Company is weathering these difficulties and continuing to grow and build for a strong future. Despite the uncertain times, we have managed to sustain our growth trajectory, improve our credit quality and position ourselves to be a premier BaaS service provider in the future.

We have been proactive in adapting to these challenging circumstances. We have implemented and are enhancing our robust risk management practices, closely monitoring our loan portfolios and enhancing our credit standards for CCBX loans while building and enhancing our existing compliance AML/BSA, risk and internal control processes. These steps are designed to mitigate potential compliance and credit risks, safeguard the quality of our assets and continue to grow.

Additionally, a primary initiative for us is to invest in technology designed to increase automation and enhance operational efficiency, productivity and cost structure, however, this requires significant upfront expense. This includes the costs associated with acquiring and implementing advanced technologies, addressing risks timely when they appear, training employees, and integrating new systems into existing infrastructure. We believe investing in automation for the future is crucial for us to stay ahead in an increasingly competitive landscape. By streamlining processes, reducing labor costs, and improving overall efficiency, we expect automation to make our business more scalable and better able to manage expenses in the future.

This investment in technology and the challenges from the economic environment impacted net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 and we expect that this strategy will continue to impact earnings in the short term, but we believe we are positioning ourselves for long term success," stated Eric Sprink, the CEO of the Company and the Bank.

Results of Operations Overview

The Company has one main subsidiary, the Bank which consists of three segments: CCBX, the community bank and treasury & administration.  The CCBX segment includes our BaaS activities, the community bank segment includes all community banking activities, and the treasury & administration segment includes treasury management, overall administration and all other aspects of the Company.  Net interest income was $60.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $1.3 million, or 2.1%, from $59.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, and an increase of $6.4 million, or 11.8%, from $54.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.  Yield on loans receivable was 10.85% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 10.71% for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 9.95% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.  Cost of deposits was 3.49% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 3.36% for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2.13% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in net interest income compared to December 31, 2023, was a result of increased interest income due to an increase in average loans receivable partially offset by an increase in cost of deposits as a result of higher interest rates and competitive pressures. The increase in net interest income compared to March 31, 2023 was largely related to increased yield on loans resulting from higher interest rates and growth in higher yielding loans.  Total average loans receivable for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $3.14 billion, compared to $3.01 billion for the three months ended December 31, 2023, and $2.71 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Interest and fees on loans totaled $84.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $81.2 million and $66.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.  Total loans, net of deferred fees increased $173.5 million, or 5.7%, during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, which included a $120.3 million increase in CCBX loans and an increase of $53.2 million in community bank loans. The increase in CCBX loans includes an increase of $52.3 million, or 6.4%, in consumer and other loans and an increase of $48.2 million, or 55.1%, in capital call lines as a result of normal balance fluctuations and business activities.  We continue to monitor and manage the CCBX loan portfolio, and sold $100.5 million in CCBX loans during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 to reduce credit exposure in certain loan categories and manage credit risk. We continue to reposition ourselves by managing CCBX credit and concentration levels in an effort to optimize our loan portfolio and we will continue growing the CCBX portfolio in future quarters with loans that have lower potential risk of credit deterioration and are more aligned with our long term objectives. The increase in interest and fees on loans compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2023 was largely due to loan growth. The increase compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was largely due to growth in higher yielding loans and increased interest rates.  The FOMC has increased rates 1.00% since December 31, 2022 and last raised the target Federal Funds rate 0.25% on July 26, 2023.

Interest income from interest earning deposits with other banks was $4.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 a decrease of $907,000 compared to December 31, 2023 due to a decrease in average balance and an increase of $1.7 million compared to March 31, 2023 due to an increase in average balance and higher interest rates.  The average balance of interest earning deposits with other banks for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $350.9 million, compared to $413.1 million and $271.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.  The average yield on these interest earning deposits with other banks increased to 5.48% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to 5.46% and 4.62% for the quarters ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

Total interest expense was $29.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, a $1.0 million increase from the quarter ended December 31, 2023 and a $13.9 million increase from the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Interest expense on deposits was $28.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to $27.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 and $15.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Interest expense on interest bearing deposits increased $1.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2023, and $13.9 million compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023 as a result of an increase in CCBX deposits that are tied to, and reprice when the FOMC raises rates. Similarly, most of our CCBX loans also reprice when the FOMC raises interest rates. Interest expense on borrowed funds was $669,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to $670,000 and $662,000 for the quarters ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively. The $7,000 increase in interest expense on borrowed funds from the quarter ended March 31, 2023 is the result of an increase in interest rates.

Total cost of deposits was 3.49% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 3.36% for the three months ended December 31, 2023, and 2.13%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Community bank and CCBX cost of deposits were 1.66% and 4.93% respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 1.57% and 4.90%, for the three months ended December 31, 2023, and 0.66% and 3.89% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in cost of deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the prior periods for both segments is a result of the continued higher interest rate environment. While we continue working to hold down deposit costs, the higher interest rate environment has impacted our cost of deposits and resulted in higher interest expense on interest bearing deposits as we work to retain and grow our community bank deposits and CCBX deposits continue to grow as a percent of total deposits.

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin was 6.78% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 6.61% and 7.15% for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.  The increase in net interest margin compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023 was primarily due to higher loan yields and the decrease compared to March 31, 2023 was largely due to an increase in cost of deposits. Increases in rates on interest bearing deposits by our competitors and the growth in higher cost CCBX deposits contributed to an overall increase in interest expense on interest bearing deposits. Additionally, the actions we took in an effort to strengthen our balance sheet by selling higher risk and higher yielding loans or letting such loans mature during the quarters ended September 30, 2023, December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024 will continue to impact net interest margin in future quarters. Interest and fees on loans receivable increased $3.5 million, or 4.3%, to $84.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $81.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, and increased $18.2 million, or 27.4%, compared to $66.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, due to an increase in outstanding balances and higher interest rates.  Compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, there was a $1.7 million increase in interest on interest earning deposits held at other financial institutions.  These interest earning deposits earned an average rate of 5.48% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to 5.46% and 4.62% for the quarters ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.  Average investment securities decreased $34.3 million to $115.4 million compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023 and increased $13.1 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 as a result of $100.0 million in AFS U.S. Treasury securities that matured during the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Interest on investment securities decreased $191,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023 as a result of the maturing Treasury securities. Interest on total investment securities increased $481,000 compared to March 31, 2023, as a result of increased yield and outstanding balance.  These increases in interest income were partially offset by increases in interest expense on interest bearing deposits, as previously discussed.

Cost of funds was 3.52% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, an increase of 13 basis points from the quarter ended December 31, 2023 and an increase of 133 basis points from the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Cost of deposits for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was 3.49%, compared to 3.36% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, and 2.13% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The increased cost of funds and deposits compared to December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023 was due to the increase in interest rates compared to the previous periods and growth in higher rate CCBX deposits.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, total loans receivable increased by $173.5 million, or 5.7%, to $3.20 billion, compared to $3.03 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2023.  This increase consists of a $120.3 million increase in CCBX loans and $53.1 million in community bank loan growth. Total loans receivable as of March 31, 2024 increased $362.4 million compared to March 31, 2023.  This increase includes community bank loan growth of $212.3 million and an increase in CCBX loans of $150.1 million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, $100.5 million in CCBX loans were sold and $797,000 in loans were held for sale as of March 31, 2024, and no loans were held for sale at December 31, 2023 or March 31, 2023.

Total yield on loans receivable for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was 10.85%, compared to 10.71% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, and 9.95% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, community bank loans increased 2.9%, or $53.1 million, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2023, with an average yield of 6.46% and CCBX loans outstanding increased 10.1%, or $120.3 million, compared to December 31, 2023, with an average CCBX yield of 17.34%. The yield on CCBX loans does not include the impact of BaaS loan expense.  BaaS loan expense represents the amount paid or payable to partners for credit enhancements, fraud enhancements and originating & servicing CCBX loans.

The following table summarizes the average yield on loans receivable and cost of deposits for our community bank and CCBX segments for the periods indicated:

ROA was 0.73% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared to 0.97% and 1.58% for the quarters ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.  ROA for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, was down 0.24% and 0.84%, respectively, as a result of lower margin compared to December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023. Noninterest expenses were higher for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared to the quarters ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023 due to increased salaries and employee benefits, investments in technology, and higher legal and professional expenses. There were a number of unanticipated expenses incurred in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 which impacted earnings. These expenses are detailed at the beginning of this earnings release.

The following table shows the Company’s key performance ratios for the periods indicated.

Noninterest income was $87.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $22.3 million from $64.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, and an increase of $37.6 million from $49.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.  The increase in noninterest income over the quarter ended December 31, 2023 was primarily due to an increase of $22.0 million in total BaaS income.  The $22.0 million increase in total BaaS income included a $21.4 million increase in BaaS credit enhancements related to the provision for credit losses, a $144,000 increase in BaaS fraud enhancements, and an increase of $456,000 in BaaS program income. The increase in BaaS program income is largely due to higher servicing and other BaaS fees, transaction fees and interchange fees (see “Appendix B” for more information on the accounting for BaaS allowance for credit losses and credit and fraud enhancements). Additionally, loan referral fees increased $168,000 and other income increased $248,000 primarily due to an increase in bank owned life insurance earnings in comparison to lower earnings that resulted from a policy change in the quarter ended December 31, 2023 which depressed earnings. The $37.6 million increase in noninterest income over the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to a $36.4 million increase in BaaS credit and fraud enhancements, an increase of $1.3 million in BaaS program income, an increase of $168,000 in loan referral fees, partially offset by a decrease of $123,000 in gain on sale of loans.

Our CCBX segment continues to evolve, and we have 21 relationships, at varying stages, as of March 31, 2024.  We continue to refine the criteria for CCBX partnerships and are exiting relationships where it makes sense and are focusing on larger more established partners, with experienced management teams, existing customer bases and strong financial positions. The sale of CCBX loans during the quarters ended September 30, 2023, December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024 are part of our strategy to strengthen the balance sheet, reduce credit exposure in certain loan categories and lower the overall potential credit risk in our loan portfolio. These sales resulted in a tighter interest margin in the quarter ended March 31, 2024, as higher quality loans yield less than higher risk loans. The size of our CCBX loan portfolio increased during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 and we expect it to continue increasing as we work to grow the portfolio with loans that are subject to increased underwriting standards.

Coastal worked with One and Robinhood to launch two new lending products in Q1 that can reach wide, established customer bases. One launched its offering of point-of-sale installment loans through Walmart. These loans, which can be offered with customer friendly pricing and payment features similar to so-called "Buy Now Pay Later" products, are fully disclosed and offered as standard credit products, avoiding concerns raised with respect to more typical Buy Now Pay Later offerings. Likewise, Robinhood Credit launched a new credit card that will be marketed to Robinhood’s customers.

The following table illustrates the activity and evolution in CCBX relationships for the periods presented.

Total noninterest expense increased $4.3 million to $56.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $51.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, and increased $11.4 million from $44.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2023, was primarily due to a $671,000 increase in BaaS expense (including a $144,000 increase in BaaS fraud expense an a $527,000 increase in BaaS loan expense), a $1.5 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, a $1.0 million increase in legal and professional expenses, which includes $849,000 in audit and accounting service expenses that were unanticipated, and a $778,000 increase in other expenses largely due to exit costs associated with terminating our relationship with a fraud/compliance vendor of $600,000 and an operational loss of $122,000, which are detailed at the beginning of this earnings release. BaaS loan expense represents the amount paid or payable to partners for credit enhancements, fraud enhancements, and originating & servicing CCBX loans. BaaS fraud expense represents non-credit fraud losses on partner’s customer loan and deposit accounts. A portion of this expense is realized during the quarter during which the loss occurs, and a portion is estimated based on historical or other information from our partners.  Legal and professional fees were higher in the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to increased fees related to data and risk management, building out our infrastructure and increased consulting expenses for projects and enhanced monitoring. The $1.5 million increase in salaries and employee benefits included $343,000 in one time expenses related to additional expense related to retirements and our initiative to manage costs going forward which increased expenses in this period.

The increase in noninterest expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023 were largely due to an increase of $6.2 million in BaaS partner expense (including a $7.3 million increase in BaaS loan expense offset by a decrease of $1.1 million in BaaS fraud expense), $2.4 million increase in salary and employee benefits related to hiring staff for CCBX and additional staff for our ongoing growth initiatives. Additionally, there was a $977,000 increase in other expenses primarily due to unanticipated expenses from exit costs associated with a fraud/compliance vendor of $600,000 and an operational loss of $122,000 which are detailed at the beginning of this earnings release, and a $1.1 million increase in data processing and software licenses due to enhancements in technology and a $116,000 increase in point of sale expenses which is attributed to increased CCBX activity.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, $2.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and $3.0 million for the first quarter of 2023.  The income tax provision was lower for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023 primarily due to lower net income. The Company is subject to various state taxes that are assessed as CCBX activities and employees expand into other states, which has increased the overall tax rate used in calculating the provision for income taxes in the current and future periods. The Company uses a federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% as a basis for calculating provision for federal income taxes and 2.62% for calculating the provision for state taxes.

Financial Condition Overview

Total assets increased $111.9 million, or 3.0%, to $3.87 billion at March 31, 2024 compared to $3.75 billion at December 31, 2023.  The increase is primarily due to a $173.5 million increase in loans receivable combined with a $88,000 increase in other assets and $30.6 million increase in interest earning deposits held at other banks, partially offset by a $99.5 million decrease in AFS securities as such securities matured, $22.3 million increase in the allowance for credit losses and a $29.4 million increase in the credit enhancement asset. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, we sold $100.5 million in CCBX loans as part of our strategy to optimize our CCBX portfolio, reduce credit exposure in certain loan categories and strengthen the balance sheet by replacing loans sold with higher credit quality originated loans with enhanced credit standards, compared to $125.1 million sold during the quarter ended December 31, 2023. There were $797,000 loans held for sale at March 31, 2024 and no loans held for sale as of December 31, 2023.

Total assets increased $414.2 million, or 12.0%, to $3.87 billion at March 31, 2024, compared to $3.45 billion at March 31, 2023.  The increase is primarily due to loans receivable increasing $362.4 million, a $126.1 million increase in interest earning deposits with other banks, partially offset by an increase of $29.4 million in the credit enhancement asset and a decrease of $51.6 million in investment securities compared to March 31, 2023.

Loans Receivable

Total loans receivable increased $173.5 million to $3.20 billion at March 31, 2024, from $3.03 billion at December 31, 2023, and increased $362.4 million from $2.84 billion at March 31, 2023.  The increase in loans receivable over the quarter ended December 31, 2023 was the result of an increase of $120.3 million in CCBX loans as we work to build back this portfolio with new loans, subject to enhanced credit standards, following several periods of shrinking this portfolio to optimize our balance sheet, and a $53.1 million increase in community bank loans. We continue to monitor and manage the CCBX loan portfolio, and sold $100.5 million in CCBX loans during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 as part of our plan to optimize and strengthen the balance sheet and reduce and manage credit risk. The change in loans receivable over the quarter ended March 31, 2023 includes CCBX loan growth of $150.1 million and community bank loan growth of $212.3 million as of March 31, 2024.

Deposits
Total deposits increased $102.6 million, or 3.1%, to $3.46 billion at March 31, 2024 from $3.36 billion at December 31, 2023. The increase was due to a $105.9 million increase in core deposits, partially offset by a $3.2 million decrease in time deposits. Deposits in our CCBX segment increased $166.2 million, from $1.86 billion at December 31, 2023, to $2.03 billion at March 31, 2024 and community bank deposits decreased $63.6 million from $1.50 billion at December 31, 2023, to $1.43 billion at March 31, 2024. The decrease in community bank deposits is a result of managing our deposit rates during the quarter and letting some of our higher rate deposits run-off. We are comfortable with our pricing discipline and letting some of the higher rate community bank deposits run-off because we believe that we have adequate funding access through our CCBX deposits, and despite the generally higher cost of deposits, these CCBX deposits are typically less costly than raising our rates to meet competitors' rates, brokered funds or borrowing rates. We are working to retain and grow our community bank deposits and will continue to do so in future quarters when interest rates are lower and customers are less rate sensitive. CCBX deposits continue to grow as a percent of total deposits. The deposits from our CCBX segment are predominately classified as interest bearing demand and money market accounts. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, noninterest bearing deposits decreased $51.1 million, or 8.2%, to $574.1 million from $625.2 million at December 31, 2023. Community bank noninterest bearing deposits totaled $515.4 million or 35.9% of total community bank deposits and CCBX noninterest bearing deposits totaled $58.7 million, or 2.9% of total CCBX deposits. In the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2023, interest bearing demand and money market accounts increased $159.4 million, savings deposits decreased $2.5 million, and time deposits decreased $3.2 million. Included in total deposits is $336.8 million in IntraFi network reciprocal interest bearing demand and money market accounts as of March 31, 2024, which provides our larger deposit customers with fully insured deposits through a reciprocal agreement with other banks. Uninsured deposits decreased to $495.6 million as of March 31, 2024, compared to $558.6 million as of December 31, 2023.

Total deposits increased $367.8 million, or 11.9%, to $3.46 billion at March 31, 2024 compared to $3.10 billion at March 31, 2023. The increase is largely the result of growth in CCBX deposits. Noninterest bearing deposits decreased $187.7 million, or 24.6%, to $574.1 million at March 31, 2024 from $761.8 million at March 31, 2023 as a result of customer movement from noninterest to interest bearing accounts. Interest bearing demand and money market accounts increased $592.5 million, or 26.8%, to $2.80 billion at March 31, 2024, and savings deposits decreased $25.2 million, or 25.3%, and time deposits decreased   $11.9 million, or 44.1%, in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023. Deposits in our CCBX segment increased $465.1 million, from $1.56 billion at March 31, 2023, to $2.03 billion at March 31, 2024 and community bank deposits decreased $97.4 million, from $1.53 billion at March 31, 2023, to $1.43 billion at March 31, 2024. The deposits from our CCBX segment are predominately classified as interest bearing demand and money market accounts. Uninsured deposits decreased to $495.6 million as of March 31, 2024, compared to $768.3 million as of March 31, 2023 primarily as a result of increased usage of our cash sweep and exchange services to other banks for increased FDIC insurance coverage as described below.

Additionally, as of March 31, 2024, $92.2 million in CCBX customer deposits were transferred off the Bank’s balance sheet to other financial institutions on a daily basis for additional FDIC insurance coverage. Efforts to retain and grow core deposits are evidenced by the high ratios in these categories when compared to total deposits.

Borrowings

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had the capacity to borrow up to a total of $659.5 million from the Federal Reserve Bank discount window and Federal Home Loan Bank, and an additional $50.0 million from a correspondent bank, with no borrowings outstanding on these lines as of March 31, 2024.

Shareholders’ Equity

The Company had a cash balance of $5.3 million as of March 31, 2024, which is retained for general operating purposes, including debt repayment, and for funding $643,000 in commitments to bank technology funds.

Total shareholders’ equity increased $8.7 million since December 31, 2023.  The increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily due to $6.8 million in net earnings, combined with a decrease in the unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities of $467,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Provision for credit losses - loans totaled $79.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, $60.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, and $43.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Net charge-offs totaled $57.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to $44.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 and $32.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Provisions for credit losses – loans and net charge-offs increased due to an increase in CCBX loans receivable which have a higher level of expected losses than our community bank loans, as reflected in the factors for allowance for credit losses . CCBX partner agreements provide for a credit enhancement that covers the net-charge-offs on CCBX loans and negative deposit accounts by indemnifying or reimbursing incurred losses, except in accordance with the program agreement for one partner where the Company was responsible for credit losses on approximately 10% of a $317.8 million loan portfolio. Effective April 1, 2024, the agreement changed and the Company is responsible for 5% of the credit losses on this loan portfolio. At March 31, 2024, our portion of this portfolio represented $32.0 million in loans. The provision on the Company's portion of the portfolio was $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and $770,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. While this portfolio of partner loans for which we are fully responsible remains profitable, the provision for credit losses has increased compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023 both from growth in the portfolio and a higher loss rate. In response, and working with the partner, we have strengthened our underwriting standards. Our allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2024 was based on 5% of the balance outstanding that the Company is now responsible for, in accordance with the updated and signed agreement.

Net charge-offs for this $32.0 million in loans were $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and $590,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

(1) Annualized calculations shown for periods presented.

The increase in the Company’s provision for credit losses - loans during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, is a result of an increase in loans receivable. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, a $79.7 million provision for credit losses - loans was recorded for CCBX partner loans based on management’s analysis, compared to the $60.5 million provision for credit losses - loans that was recorded for CCBX for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, as a result of an increase in CCBX loans receivable. CCBX loans have a higher level of expected losses than our community bank loans, which is reflected in the factors for the allowance for credit losses. Agreements with our CCBX partners provide for a credit enhancement which protects the Bank by indemnifying or reimbursing incurred losses.

In the quarter ended March 31, 2024, management re-evaluated and updated its assumptions to more accurately reflect the risk of unfunded commitments and to better reflect the loss rate of the community bank portfolio overall. As a result, management increased the unfunded commitment provision for the community bank by $2.2 million. The allowance for the community bank loan portfolio was reduced as a result of the continued strong performance of the community bank portfolio, which primarily offset the increase in the unfunded commitment provision.

In accordance with accounting guidance, we estimate and record a provision for expected losses for these CCBX loans and reclassified negative deposit accounts. When the provision for CCBX credit losses and provision for unfunded commitments is recorded, a credit enhancement asset is also recorded on the balance sheet through noninterest income (BaaS credit enhancements). Expected losses are recorded in the allowance for credit losses. The credit enhancement asset is relieved when credit enhancement recoveries are received from the CCBX partner. If our partner is unable to fulfill their contracted obligations then the Bank could be exposed to additional credit losses. Management regularly evaluates and manages this counterparty risk.

The factors used in management’s analysis for community bank credit losses indicated that a provision recapture of $199,000 and was needed for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 and a provision of $277,000 and $428,000 was needed for the quarters ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

At March 31, 2024, our nonperforming assets were $54.9 million, or 1.42% of total assets, compared to $53.8 million, or 1.43%, of total assets, at December 31, 2023, and $31.5 million, or 0.91% of total assets, at March 31, 2023. These ratios are impacted by CCBX loans over 90 days delinquent that are covered by CCBX partner credit enhancements. As of March 31, 2024, $44.3 million of the $46.9 million in nonperforming CCBX loans were covered by CCBX partner credit enhancements described above. Nonperforming assets increased $1.0 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2023, due to a $399,000 increase in CCBX loans that are past due 90 days or more and still accruing combined with a $628,000 increase in community bank nonaccrual loans. As a result of the type of loans (primarily consumer loans) originated through our CCBX partners we anticipate that balances 90 days past due or more and still accruing will increase as those loan portfolios grow. Installment/closed-end and revolving/open-end consumer loans originated through CCBX lending partners will continue to accrue interest until 120 and 180 days past due, respectively and are reported as substandard, 90 days or more days past due and still accruing. Community bank nonaccrual loans increased with the addition of two nonaccrual loans, partially offset by two payoffs. There were no repossessed assets or other real estate owned at March 31, 2024. Our nonperforming loans to loans receivable ratio was 1.71% at March 31, 2024, compared to 1.78% at December 31, 2023, and 1.11% at March 31, 2023.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, there were $11,000 community bank net recoveries and $7.9 million nonperforming community bank loans, including a multifamily loan for $6.9 million with a $1.1 million reserve to align with purchase sale agreement (see the unanticipated expenses table at the beginning of this earnings release). For the quarter ended March 31, 2024 $57.2 million in net charge-offs were recorded on CCBX loans. These CCBX loans have a higher level of expected losses than our community bank loans, which is reflected in the factors for the allowance for credit losses.

Forward-Looking Statements

This earnings release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our financial performance. Any statements about our management’s expectations, beliefs, plans, predictions, forecasts, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believes,” “can,” “could,” “may,” “predicts,” “potential,” “should,” “will,” “estimate,” “plans,” “projects,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “intends” and similar words or phrases. Any or all of the forward-looking statements in this earnings release may turn out to be inaccurate. The inclusion of or reference to forward-looking information in this earnings release should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the future plans, estimates or expectations contemplated by us will be achieved. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the risks and uncertainties discussed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the most recent period filed and in any of our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what we anticipate. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.

(1)  Core deposits are defined as all deposits excluding brokered and all time deposits.
(2)  Share and per share amounts are based on total actual or average common shares outstanding, as applicable.
(3)  We calculate book value per share as total shareholders’ equity at the end of the relevant period divided by the outstanding number of our common shares at the end of each period.
(4)  Tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP financial measure. We calculate tangible book value per share as total shareholders’ equity at the end of the relevant period, less goodwill and other intangible assets, divided by the outstanding number of our common shares at the end of each period. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is book value per share. We had no goodwill or other intangible assets as of any of the dates indicated. As a result, tangible book value per share is the same as book value per share as of each of the dates indicated.
(5)  Nonperforming assets and nonperforming loans include loans 90+ days past due and accruing interest.
(6)  Annualized calculations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operational performance and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of such financial performance.

However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures. As other companies may use different calculations for these adjusted measures, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled adjusted measures reported by other companies.

A reconciliation showing the impact of certain non-GAAP unanticipated expenses on net income is included in the second paragraph of this earnings release.

The following non-GAAP measures are presented to illustrate the impact of BaaS loan expense on net loan income and yield on CCBX loans and the impact of BaaS loan expense on net interest income and net interest margin.

Net BaaS loan income divided by average CCBX loans is a non-GAAP measure that includes the impact BaaS loan expense on net BaaS loan income and the yield on CCBX loans. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is yield on CCBX loans.

Net interest income net of BaaS loan expense is a non-GAAP measure that includes the impact BaaS loan expense on net interest income. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net interest income.

Net interest margin, net of BaaS loan expense is a non-GAAP measure that includes the impact of BaaS loan expense on net interest rate margin. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net interest margin.

Reconciliations of the GAAP and non-GAAP measures are presented below.

We have individual CCBX partner portfolio limits with our each of our partners to manage loan concentration risk, liquidity risk, and counter-party partner risk. For example, as of March 31, 2024, capital call lines outstanding balance totaled $135.7 million, and while commitments totaled $543.9 million the commitments are limited to a maximum of $350.0 million by agreement with the partner. If a CCBX partner goes over their individual limit, it would be a breach of their contract and the Bank may impose penalties.

CCBX – BaaS Reporting Information

During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, $79.8 million was recorded in BaaS credit enhancements related to the provision for credit losses - loans and reserve for unfunded commitments for CCBX partner loans and negative deposit accounts. Agreements with our CCBX partners provide for a credit enhancement provided by the partner which protects the Bank by indemnifying or reimbursing incurred losses. In accordance with accounting guidance, we estimate and record a provision for expected losses for these CCBX loans, unfunded commitments and negative deposit accounts. When the provision for credit losses - loans and provision for unfunded commitments is recorded, a credit enhancement asset is also recorded on the balance sheet through noninterest income (BaaS credit enhancements) in recognition of the CCBX partner legal commitment to indemnify or reimburse losses. The credit enhancement asset is relieved as credit enhancement payments and recoveries are received from the CCBX partner or taken from the partner's cash reserve account. Agreements with our CCBX partners also provide protection to the Bank from fraud by indemnifying or reimbursing incurred fraud losses. BaaS fraud includes noncredit fraud losses on loans and deposits originated through partners. Fraud losses are recorded when incurred as losses in noninterest expense, and the enhancement received from the CCBX partner is recorded in noninterest income, resulting in a net impact of zero to the income statement. CCBX partners also pledge a cash reserve account at the Bank which the Bank can collect from when losses occur that is then replenished by the partner on a regular interval. Although agreements with our CCBX partners provide for credit enhancements that provide protection to the Bank from credit and fraud losses by indemnifying or reimbursing incurred credit and fraud losses, if our partner is unable to fulfill their contracted obligations to replenish their cash reserve account then the bank would be exposed to additional loan and deposit losses if the cash flows on the loans were not sufficient to fund the reimbursement of loan losses, as a result of this counterparty risk. If a CCBX partner does not replenish their cash reserve account then the Bank can declare the agreement in default, take over servicing and cease paying the partner for servicing the loan and providing credit and fraud enhancements. The Bank would write-off any remaining credit enhancement asset from the CCBX partner not covered by the cash pledge account but would retain the full yield and any fee income on the loan going forward, and BaaS loan expense for that CCBX partner would cease once default occurred and payments to the CCBX partner were stopped.

For CCBX partner loans the Bank records contractual interest earned from the borrower on loans in interest income, adjusted for origination costs which are paid or payable to the CCBX partner. BaaS loan expense represents the amount paid or payable to partners for credit and fraud enhancements and originating & servicing CCBX loans. To determine net revenue (Net BaaS loan income) earned from CCBX loan relationships, the Bank takes BaaS loan interest income and deducts BaaS loan expense to arrive at Net BaaS loan income (A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures are set forth in the preceding section of this earnings release.) which can be compared to interest income on the Company’s community bank loans.

The following table illustrates how CCBX partner loan income and expenses are recorded in the financial statements:

An increase in CCBX loans receivable resulted in increased interest income on CCBX loans during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2023. The increase in CCBX loans receivable was primarily due to growth in the CCBX loan portfolio as part of our strategy to optimize the CCBX loan portfolio and strengthen our balance sheet through originating higher quality new loans and enhanced credit standards. Increased interest rates and growth in CCBX loans and deposits has resulted in increases in interest income and expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

The following tables are a summary of the interest components, direct fees, and expenses of BaaS for the periods indicated and are not inclusive of all income and expense related to BaaS.
