Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains various statements that may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Rule 175 promulgated thereunder, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Rule 3b-6 promulgated thereunder and are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. These forward-looking statements often can be, but are not always, identified by the use of words such as “assume,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “anticipate,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “could,” “goal,” “potential” and similar expressions. We base these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events, our assumptions regarding these events and our knowledge of facts at the time the statements are made. Such forward-looking statements may be deemed to include, among other things, statements relating to the Company’s future financial performance, projected cash flows of our investment securities portfolio, the performance of our loan portfolio, estimated net interest income resulting from a shift in interest rates, expectation of high credit quality issuers ability to repay, as well as statements relating to the anticipated effects on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations from expected developments or events.

These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties that may be outside our control and our actual results could differ materially from our projected results. Risks and uncertainties that could cause our financial performance to differ materially from our goals, plans, expectations and projections expressed in forward-looking statements include those set forth in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), Item 1A of the Heritage Commerce Corp’s (“the Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as supplemented by the information set forth in Item 1A (Risk Factors) of this report, and including, but not limited to the following:

● factors that affect our liquidity and our ability to meet customer demands for deposit withdrawals, including our cash on hand and the availability of funds from our lines of credit;
● media items and consumer confidence as those factors affect depositors’ confidence in the banking system generally and our bank in particular;
● factors that affect the value and liquidity of our investment portfolios, particularly the values of securities available-for-sale;
● the effect of our measures to assure adequate liquidity of deposits as those measures affect profitability, including increasing interest rates on deposits as a component of our interest expense;
● our ability to estimate accurately, and to establish adequate reserves against, the risk of loss associated with our loan and lease portfolio;
● events and circumstances that affect our borrowers’ financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, which may, during periods of economic uncertainty or decline, adversely affect those borrowers’ ability to repay our loans timely and in full, or to comply with their other obligations under our loan agreements with those customers;
● geopolitical and domestic political developments, including ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, as well as other regions that are experiencing or that may in the future experience political or economic upheaval, that can increase levels of political and economic unpredictability, contribute to rising energy and commodity prices, and increase the volatility of financial markets;
● current and future economic and market conditions in the United States generally or in the communities we serve, including the effects of declines in property values and overall slowdowns in economic growth should these events occur;

3

Table of Contents

● effects of and changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including the interest rate policies of the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve Board and other factors that affect market interest rates generally;
● inflationary pressures and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins and yields, the fair value of financial instruments or our level of loan originations, or increase the level of defaults, losses and prepayments on loans to customers, whether held in the portfolio or in the secondary market;
● changes in the level of nonperforming assets and charge offs and other credit quality measures, and their impact on the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses and our provision for credit losses;
● volatility in credit and equity markets and its effect on the global economy;
● conditions relating to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and other infectious illness outbreaks that may arise in the future, on our customers, employees, businesses, liquidity, financial results and overall condition including severity and duration of the associated uncertainties in U.S. and global markets;
● our ability to compete effectively with other banks and financial services companies and the effects of competition in the financial services industry on our business;
● our ability to achieve loan growth and attract deposits in our market area;
● risks associated with concentrations in real estate related loans;
● the relative strength or weakness of the commercial and real estate markets where our borrowers are located, including related vacancy rates, and asset and market prices;
● increased capital requirements for our continual growth or as imposed by banking regulators, which may require us to raise capital at a time when capital is not available on favorable terms or at all;
● regulatory limits on Heritage Bank of Commerce’s ability to pay dividends to the Company;
● operational issues stemming from, and/or capital spending necessitated by, the potential need to adapt to industry changes in information technology systems, on which we are highly dependent;
● our inability to attract, recruit, and retain qualified officers and other personnel could harm our ability to implement our strategic plan, impair our relationships with customers and adversely affect our business, results of operations and growth prospects;
● possible adjustment of the valuation of our deferred tax assets or of the goodwill associated with previous acquisitions;
● our ability to keep pace with technological changes, including our ability to identify and address cyber-security risks such as data security breaches, “denial of service” attacks, “hacking” and identity theft;
● inability of our framework to manage risks associated with our business, including operational risk and credit risk;
● risks of loss of funding of the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) or SBA loan programs, or changes in those programs;
● compliance with applicable laws and governmental and regulatory requirements, including the Dodd-Frank Act and others relating to banking, consumer protection, securities, accounting and tax matters;
● effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and other accounting standard setters;

4

Table of Contents

● the expense and uncertain resolution of litigation matters whether occurring in the ordinary course of business or otherwise;
● availability of and competition for acquisition opportunities;
● risks resulting from domestic or international terrorism, riots, widespread mayhem, and similar events or circumstances;
● risks of natural disasters (including earthquakes, fires, and flooding) and other events beyond our control; and
● our success in managing the risks involved in the foregoing factors.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. The Company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should consider any forward looking statements in light of this explanation, and we caution you about relying on forward-looking statements.

HERITAGE COMMERCE CORP

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2023

(Unaudited)

​

1) Basis of Presentation

​

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Heritage Commerce Corp (the “Company” or “HCC”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Heritage Bank of Commerce (the “Bank” or “HBC”), have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for annual financial statements are not included herein. The interim statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes that were included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

​

HBC is a commercial bank serving customers primarily located in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Benito, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties of California. CSNK Working Capital Finance Corp. a California corporation, dba Bay View Funding (“Bay View Funding”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of HBC, and provides business-essential working capital factoring financing to various industries throughout the United States. No customer accounts for more than 10% of revenue for HBC or the Company. The Company reports its results for two segments: banking and factoring. The Company’s management uses segment results in its operating and strategic planning.

​

In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

​

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make a number of judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expense in the financial statements. Various elements of our accounting policies, by their nature, involve the application of highly sensitive and judgmental estimates and assumptions. Some of these policies and estimates relate to matters that are highly complex and contain inherent uncertainties. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change include the determination of the allowance for credit losses and any impairment of goodwill or intangible assets. It is possible that, in some instances, different estimates and assumptions could reasonably have been made and used by management, instead of those we applied, which might have produced different results that could have had a material effect on the financial statements.

​

The results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any subsequent period or for the entire year ending December 31, 2023.

​

Reclassifications

              Certain reclassifications of prior year balances have been made to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or net change in cash and cash equivalents.

​

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

​

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2022-02 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, which 1) eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") by creditors while enhancing the disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty; and 2) requires that an entity disclose current-period gross writeoffs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. The Company adopted the guidance of ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2023 and the amendments were applied prospectively. The adoption of this new guidance did not impact the financial position or results of operations.

​

​

​

Table of Contents

​

Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Yet Adopted

​

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to loan and lease agreements, derivative contracts, and other transactions affected by the anticipated transition away from London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) toward new interest rate benchmarks. For transactions that are modified because of reference rate reform and that meet certain scope guidance (i) modifications of loan agreements should be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate and the modification will be considered "minor" so that any existing unamortized origination fees/costs would carry forward and continue to be amortized and (ii) modifications of lease agreements should be accounted for as a continuation of the existing agreement with no reassessments of the lease classification and the discount rate or remeasurements of lease payments that otherwise would be required for modifications not accounted for as separate contracts. ASU 2020-04 also provides numerous optional expedients for derivative accounting. ASU 2020-04 is effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. An entity may elect to apply ASU 2020-04 for contract modifications as of January 1, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry Subtopic within the Codification, the amendments in this ASU must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic. The Company does not expect any material impact on its consolidated financial statements since the Company has an insignificant number of financial instruments applicable to this ASU.

​

2) Earnings Per Share

​

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect potential dilution from outstanding stock options using the treasury stock method. Unvested restricted stock units are not considered participating securities and as a result are not considered outstanding under the two class method of computing basic earnings per common share. There were 1,905,852 and 1,763,377 weighted average stock options outstanding for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, considered to be antidilutive and excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. There were no weighted average RSUs outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 66,458 weighted average RSUs outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, considered to be antidilutive and excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per shares. There were 1,377,019 and 1,224,442 weighted average stock options outstanding for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022, considered to be antidilutive and excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. A reconciliation of these factors used in computing basic and diluted earnings per common share is as follows:

There were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. Government and its sponsored entities, in an amount greater than 10% of shareholders’ equity. At September 30, 2023, the Company held 442 securities (168 available-for-sale and 274 held-to-maturity), of which 438 had fair value below amortized cost. The unrealized losses were due to higher interest rates in comparison to when the securities were purchased. The issuers are of high credit quality and all principal amounts are expected to be paid when securities mature. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date and/or market rates decline. The Company does not believe that it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell a security in an unrealized loss position prior to recovery in value. The Company does not consider these securities to be credit impaired at September 30, 2023.

​

The amortized cost and estimated fair values of securities as of September 30, 2023 are shown by contractual maturity below. The expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities if borrowers have the right to call or pre-pay obligations with or without call or pre-payment penalties. Securities not due at a single maturity date are shown separately.

(1) Gross of the allowance for credit losses of $13,000 at September 30, 2023.

​

Securities with amortized cost of $1,055,583,000 and $66,272,000 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes as required or permitted by law or contract. The increase in pledged securities at September 30, 2023 was due to an increase in securities pledged to secure our collateralized lines of credit with the FHLB and FRB.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the allowance for credit losses on the Company’s held-to-maturity municipal investment securities portfolio decreased ($1,000) to $13,000. The bond ratings for the Company’s municipal investment securities at September 30, 2023 were consistent with the ratings at December 31, 2022.

5) Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

​

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model under ASU 2016-13 (Topic 326) using the modified retrospective approach. The allowance for credit losses on loans is an estimate of the current expected credit losses in the loan portfolio. Loans are charged-off against the allowance when management determines that a loan balance has become uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance for credit losses on loans.

​

Management’s methodology for estimating the allowance balance consists of several key elements, which include pooling loans with similar characteristics into segments and using a discounted cash flow calculation to estimate losses. The discounted cash flow model inputs include loan level cash flow estimates for each loan segment based on peer and bank historic loss correlations with certain economic factors. Management uses a four quarter forecast of each economic factor that is used for each loan segment and the economic factors are assumed to revert to the historic mean over an eight quarter period after the forecast period. The economic factors management has selected include the California unemployment rate, California gross domestic product, California home price index, and a national CRE value index. These factors are evaluated and updated as economic conditions change. Additionally, management uses qualitative adjustments to the discounted cash flow quantitative loss estimates in certain cases when management has determined an adjustment is necessary. These qualitative adjustments are applied by pooled loan segment and have been added for increased risk due to loan quality trends, collateral risk, or other risks management determines are not adequately captured in the discounted cash flow loss estimation. Specific allowances on individually evaluated loans are combined to the allowance on pools of loans with similar risk characteristics to derive the total allowance for credit losses on loans.

​

Management has also considered other qualitative risks such as collateral values, concentrations of credit risk (geographic, large borrower, and industry), economic conditions, changes in underwriting standards, experience and depth of lending staff, trends in delinquencies, and the level of criticized loans to address asset-specific risks and current conditions that were not fully considered by the macroeconomic variables driving the quantitative estimate.

​

The allowance for credit losses on loans was calculated by pooling loans of similar credit risk characteristics and credit monitoring procedures. The loan portfolio is classified into eight segments of loans - commercial, commercial real estate – owner occupied, commercial real estate – non-owner occupied, land and construction, home equity, multifamily, residential mortgages and consumer and other.

​

The risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment are as follows:

​

Commercial

​

Commercial loans primarily rely on the identified cash flows of the borrower for repayment and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. However, the cash flows of the borrowers may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable, inventory or equipment and may incorporate a personal guarantee; however, some loans may be unsecured. Included in commercial loans are $473,000 of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program loans and $52,082,000 of Bay View Funding factored receivables at September 30, 2023, compared to $1,166,000 and $79,263,000, respectively, at December 31, 2022.

​

Commercial Real Estate (“CRE”)

​

CRE loans rely primarily on the cash flows of the properties securing the loan and secondarily on the value of the property that is securing the loan. CRE loans comprise two segments differentiated by owner occupied CRE and non-owner occupied CRE. Owner occupied CRE loans are secured by commercial properties that are at least 50% occupied by the borrower or borrower affiliate. Non-owner occupied CRE loans are secured by commercial properties that are less than 50% occupied by the borrower or borrower affiliate. CRE loans may be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy.

​

Land and Construction

​

Land and construction loans are generally based on estimates of costs and value associated with the complete project. Construction loans usually involve the disbursement of funds with repayment substantially dependent on the success of the completion of the project. Sources of repayment for these loans may be permanent loans from HBC or other lenders, or proceeds from the sales of the completed project. These loans are monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risk than other real estate loans due to the final repayment dependent on numerous factors including general economic conditions.

​

Home Equity

​

Home equity loans are secured by 1-4 family residences that are generally owner occupied. Repayment of these loans depends primarily on the personal income of the borrower and secondarily on the value of the property securing the loan which can be impacted by changes in economic conditions such as the unemployment rate and property values. These loans are generally revolving lines of credit.

​

Multifamily

​

Multifamily loans are loans on residential properties with five or more units. These loans rely primarily on the cash flows of the properties securing the loan for repayment and secondarily on the value of the properties securing the loan. The cash flows of these borrowers can fluctuate along with the values of the underlying property depending on general economic conditions.

​

Residential Mortgages

​

Residential mortgage loans are secured by 1-4 family residences which are generally owner-occupied. Repayment of these loans depends primarily on the personal income of the borrower and secondarily on the value of the property securing the loan which can be impacted by changes in economic conditions such as the unemployment rate and property values. These are term loans and are acquired.

​

Consumer and Other

​

Consumer and other loans are secured by personal property or are unsecured and rely primarily on the income of the borrower for repayment and secondarily on the collateral value for secured loans. Borrower income and collateral values can vary depending on economic conditions.

Past due loans 30 days or greater totaled $11,931,000 and $17,066,000 at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, of which $2,522,000 and $479,000 were on nonaccrual, respectively. At September 30, 2023, there were also $996,000 of loans less than 30 days past due included in nonaccrual loans held-for-investment. At December 31, 2022, there were also $261,000 loans less than 30 days past due included in nonaccrual loans held-for-investment. Management’s classification of a loan as “nonaccrual” is an indication that there is reasonable doubt as to the full recovery of principal or interest on the loan. At that point, the Company stops accruing interest income, and reverses any uncollected interest that had been accrued as income. The Company begins recognizing interest income only as cash interest payments are received and it has been determined the collection of all outstanding principal is not in doubt.

Credit Quality Indicators

​

Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of customers are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. The Company’s loan portfolio is concentrated in commercial (primarily manufacturing, wholesale, and service) and real estate lending, with the remaining balance in consumer loans. While no specific industry concentration is considered significant, the Company’s lending operations are located in the Company’s market areas that are dependent on the technology and real estate industries and their supporting companies. Thus, the Company’s borrowers could be adversely impacted by a downturn in these sectors of the economy which could reduce the demand for loans and adversely impact the borrowers’ ability to repay their loans.

​

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, and other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. Nonclassified loans generally include those loans that are expected to be repaid in accordance with their contractual loan terms. Loans categorized as special mention have potential weaknesses that may, if not checked or corrected, weaken the credit or inadequately protect the Company’s position at some future date. These loans pose elevated risk, but their weaknesses do not yet justify a substandard classification.

Table of Contents

Classified loans are those loans that are assigned a substandard, substandard-nonaccrual, or doubtful risk rating using the following definitions:

​

Special Mention. A Special Mention asset has potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in a deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the credit position at some future date. Special Mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

​

Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that will jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

​

Substandard-Nonaccrual. Loans classified as substandard-nonaccrual are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any, and it is probable that the Company will not receive payment of the full contractual principal and interest. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. In addition, the Company no longer accrues interest on the loan because of the underlying weaknesses.

​

Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

​

Loss. Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectable or of so little value that their continuance as assets is not warranted. This classification does not necessarily mean that a loan has no recovery or salvage value; but rather, there is much doubt about whether, how much, or when the recovery would occur. Loans classified as loss are immediately charged off against the allowance for credit losses on loans. Therefore, there is no balance to report as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

​

Loans may be reviewed at any time throughout a loan’s duration. If new information is provided, a new risk assessment may be performed if warranted.

​

The following tables present term loans amortized cost by vintage and loan grade classification, and revolving loans amortized cost by loan grade classification at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The loan grade classifications are based on the Bank’s internal loan grading methodology. Loan grade categories for doubtful and loss rated loans are not included on the tables below as there are no loans with those grades at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The vintage year represents the period the loan was originated or in the case of renewed loans, the period last renewed.  The amortized balance is the loan balance less any purchase discounts, plus any loan purchase premiums.  The loan categories are based on the loan segmentation in the Company's CECL reserve methodology based on loan purpose and type.

The amortized cost basis of collateral-dependent loans by business assets was $443,000 at September 30, 2023. The amortized cost basis of collateral-dependent loans by business assets was $324,000 at December 31, 2022.

​

When management determines that foreclosures are probable, expected credit losses for collateral-dependent loans are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. For loans for which foreclosure is not probable, but for which repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, management has elected the practical expedient under ASC 326 to estimate expected credit losses based on the fair value of collateral, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. The class of loan represents the primary collateral type associated with the loan. Significant quarter over quarter changes are reflective of changes in nonaccrual status and not necessarily associated with credit quality indicators like appraisal value.

​

Loan Modifications

​

Occasionally, the Company modifies loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty by providing principal forgiveness, term extension, payment delay, or interest reduction. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount of forgiveness is charged-off against the allowance for credit losses.

​

In some cases, the Company provides multiple types of concessions on one loan. Typically, one type of concession, such as a term extension, is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another concession, such as principal forgiveness, may be granted. For the loans included in the “combination” columns below, multiple types of modifications have been made on the same loan within the current reporting period. The combination is at least two of the following: a term extension, principal forgiveness, payment delay, and/or interest rate reduction.

​

The following tables present the amortized cost basis of loans at September 30, 2023 that were both experiencing financial difficulty and modified through the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, by segment and type of modification. The percentage of the amortized cost basis of the loans that were modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty as compared to the amortized cost basis of each class of financing receivable is also presented below.

There were no payment defaults for loans modified for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

​

Upon the Company’s determination that a modified loan (or portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or portion of the loan) is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount.

​

6) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

​

Goodwill

​

At September 30, 2023, the carrying value of goodwill was $167,631,000, which included $13,044,000 of goodwill related to its acquisition of Bay View Funding, $32,619,000 from its acquisition of Focus Business Bank, $13,819,000 from its acquisition of Tri-Valley Bank, $24,271,000 from its acquisition of United American Bank and $83,878,000 from its acquisition of Presidio Bank.

​

Goodwill impairment exists when a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, which is determined through a qualitative assessment whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of equity of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value (“Step Zero”). If the qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the fair value of equity of a reporting unit is less than book value, then a quantitative impairment test is required. The quantitative assessment identifies if a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value. If it is, then the Company will recognize goodwill impairment equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the reporting unit and its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.

The Company's policy is to test goodwill for impairment annually as of November 30, or on an interim basis if an event triggering impairment assessment may have occurred. In the second quarter of 2023, Management determined that a triggering event had occurred as a result of the economic uncertainty and market volatility resulting from the rising interest rate environment and the recent three regional bank failures that resulted in an industry wide crisis resulted in a decrease in the Company's stock price and market capitalization and a revision of the earnings outlook for the remainder of 2023. The Company performed a qualitative assessment as of June 30, 2023 and determined that there was no impairment as the fair value exceeded the carrying amount of the Company. The Company continued to monitor events and circumstances in the third quarter of 2023 and determined that, in the absence of deterioration of performance during the quarter and based on the stability of conditions subsequent to the impairment testing performed in the second quarter of 2023, it was more likely than not that its fair value was greater than its carrying value as of September 30, 2023.

Impairment testing of the intangible assets is performed at the individual asset level. Impairment exists if the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value at the date of the impairment test. For intangible assets, estimates of expected future cash flows (cash inflows less cash outflows) that are directly associated with an intangible asset are used to determine the fair value of that asset. Management makes certain estimates and assumptions in determining the expected future cash flows from core deposit and customer relationship intangibles including account attrition, expected lives, discount rates, interest rates, servicing costs and other factors. Significant changes in these estimates and assumptions could adversely impact the valuation of these intangible assets. If an impairment loss exists, the carrying amount of the intangible asset is adjusted to a new cost basis. The new cost basis is then amortized over the remaining useful life of the asset.

28

Table of Contents

Based on its assessment, management concluded that there was no impairment of intangible assets at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

​

7) Income Taxes

​

Some items of income and expense are recognized in one year for tax purposes, and another when applying generally accepted accounting principles, which leads to timing differences between the Company’s actual current tax liability and the amount accrued for this liability based on book income. These temporary differences comprise the “deferred” portion of the Company’s tax expense or benefit, which is accumulated on the Company’s books as a deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability until such time as they reverse.

​

Under generally accepted accounting principles, a valuation allowance is required if it is “more likely than not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The determination of the realizability of the deferred tax assets is highly subjective and dependent upon judgment concerning management’s evaluation of both positive and negative evidence, including forecasts of future income, cumulative losses, applicable tax planning strategies, and assessments of current and future economic and business conditions.

​

The Company had net deferred tax assets of $30,578,000 and $32,176,000, at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. After consideration of the matters in the preceding paragraph, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 will be fully realized in future years.

​

The following table reflects the carrying amounts of the low income housing investments included in accrued interest receivable and other assets, and the future commitments included in accrued interest payable and other liabilities for the periods indicated:

​

For tax purposes, the Company had low income housing tax credits of $180,000 and $210,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and low income housing investment expense of $186,000 and $211,000, respectively. For tax purposes, the Company had low income housing tax credit of $540,000 and $630,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and low income housing investment expense of $557,000 and $632,000, respectively. The Company recognized low income housing investment expense as a component of income tax expense.

9) Fair Value

​

Accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

​

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

​

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data (for example, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, prepayment speeds, credit risks, and default rates).

​

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

​

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis

​

The fair values of securities available-for sale-are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).

​

​

The fair value of interest-only (“I/O”) strip receivable assets is based on a valuation model used by a third party. The Company is able to compare the valuation model inputs and results to widely available published industry data for reasonableness (Level 2 inputs).

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the period for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

​

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis

​

The fair value of collateral dependent loans individually evaluated with specific allocations of the allowance for credit losses on loans is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. The appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Table of Contents

There were no material collateral dependent loans carried at fair value on a non-recurring basis at September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

​

Foreclosed assets are valued at the time the loan is foreclosed upon and the asset is transferred to foreclosed assets. The fair value is based primarily on third party appraisals, less costs to sell. The appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including the comparable sales and income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no foreclosed assets on the balance sheet.

10) Equity Plan

​

The Company maintained an Amended and Restated 2004 Equity Plan (the “2004 Plan”) for directors, officers, and key employees. The 2004 Plan was terminated on May 23, 2013. On May 23, 2013, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”). On May 21, 2020, the shareholders approved an amendment to the Heritage Commerce Corp 2013 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares available from 3,000,000 to 5,000,000 shares. The 2013 Plan was terminated on May 25, 2023. The shareholders approved the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”) on May 25, 2023, which increased the number of shares available by 600,000 shares. These plans are collectively referred to as “Equity Plans.” The Equity Plans provide for the grant of incentive and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, RSUs and PRSUs. The Equity Plans provide that the option price for both incentive and nonqualified stock options will be determined by the Board of Directors at no less than the fair value at the date of grant. Options granted vest on a schedule determined by the Board of Directors at the time of grant. Generally, options vest over four years. All options expire no later than ten years from the date of grant. Restricted stock is subject to time vesting. To date, each RSU will vest ratably over three years and PRSUs are subject to cliff vesting after a three year performance period commencing in the initial year of grant. The earned PRSUs, if any, shall vest on the date on which the Board of Directors certifies whether and to what extent the performance goal has been achieved following the end of the performance period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company granted 377,000 shares of nonqualified stock options, 73,446 shares of restricted stock, 119,362 shares of RSUs and 119,358 of PRSUs. There were 1,413,531 shares available for the issuance of equity awards under the 2023 Plan as of September 30, 2023.

Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings, Federal Reserve Bank Borrowings, and Available Lines of Credit

HBC maintains a collateralized line of credit with the FHLB of San Francisco. Under this line, the Company can borrow from the FHLB on a short-term (typically overnight) or long-term (over one year) basis. HBC had $1,219,962,000 of loans and $377,931,000 of securities pledged to the FHLB as collateral on an available line of credit of $1,151,769,000 at September 30, 2023, none of which was outstanding at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

​

HBC can also borrow from the FRB discount window. HBC had $1,666,839,000 of loans and securities pledged to the FRB as collateral on an available line of credit of $1,214,537,000 at September 30, 2023, none of which was outstanding at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

​

At September 30, 2023, HBC had Federal funds purchased arrangements available amounting to $80,000,000. There were no Federal funds purchased outstanding at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

​

The Company has a $20,000,000 million line of credit with a correspondent bank, of which none was outstanding at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Subordinated Debt

On May 11, 2022, the Company completed a private placement offering of $40,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.00% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due May 15, 2032 (“Sub Debt due 2032”). The Company used the net proceeds of the Sub Debt due 2032 for general corporate purposes, including the repayment on June 1, 2022 of the Company’s $40,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.25% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due June 1, 2027 (“Sub Debt due 2027”). The Sub Debt due 2032, net of unamortized issuance costs of $537,000, totaled $39,463,000 at September 30, 2023, and qualifies as Tier 2 capital for the Company under the guidelines established by the Federal Reserve Board.

On June 1, 2022, the Company completed the redemption of all of its outstanding $40,000,000 of Sub Debt due 2027, prior to resetting to a floating rate. The Sub Debt due 2027 was redeemed pursuant to the terms of the Subordinated Indenture, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, each dated as of May 26, 2017, between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, at the redemption price of 100% of its principal amount.

12) Capital Requirements

The Company and its subsidiary bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory—and possibly additional discretionary—actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements and operations. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and HBC must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

​

The Company’s consolidated capital ratios and the HBC’s capital ratios exceeded the regulatory guidelines for a well-capitalized financial institution under the Basel III regulatory requirements at September 30, 2023. There are no conditions or events since September 30, 2023, that management believes have changed the categorization of the Company or HBC as “well-capitalized.”

​

As permitted by the interim final rule issued on March 27, 2020 by our federal regulatory agency, we elected the option to delay the estimated impact of the adoption of the CECL Standard in our regulatory capital for two years. This two-year delay is in addition to the three-year transition period the agency had already made available. The adoption delayed the effects of CECL on our regulatory capital through the end of 2021. The effects are being phased-in over a three-year period from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024, with 75% recognized in 2022, 50% recognized in 2023, and 25% recognized in 2024. Under the interim final rule, the amount of adjustments to regulatory capital deferred until the phase-in period includes both the initial impact of adoption of the CECL Standard at January 1, 2020 and 25% of subsequent changes in our allowance for credit losses during each quarter of the two-year period ending December 31, 2021.

​

Quantitative measures established by regulation to help ensure capital adequacy require the Company and HBC to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the tables below) of total, Tier 1 capital, and common equity Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined). Management believes that, as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company and HBC met all capital adequacy guidelines to which they were subject.

​

The Company’s consolidated capital amounts and ratios are presented in the following table, together with capital adequacy requirements, under the Basel III regulatory requirements for the periods indicated:

The Subordinated Debt, net of unamortized issuance costs, totaled $39,463,000 at September 30, 2023, and qualifies as Tier 2 capital for the Company under the guidelines established by the Federal Reserve Board.

Under California General Corporation Law, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available. The California Financial Code provides that a state licensed bank may not make a cash distribution to its shareholders in excess of the lesser of the following: (i) the bank’s retained earnings; or (ii) the bank’s net income for its last three fiscal years, less the amount of any distributions made by the bank to its shareholders during such period. However, a bank, with the prior approval of the Commissioner of the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (“DFPI”) may make a distribution to its shareholders of an amount not to exceed the greater of (i) a bank’s retained earnings; (ii) its net income for its last fiscal year; or (iii) its net income for the current fiscal year. Also with the prior approval of the Commissioner of the DFPI and the shareholders of the bank, the bank may make a distribution to its shareholders, as a reduction in capital of the bank. In the event that the Commissioner determines that the shareholders’ equity of a bank is inadequate or that the making of a distribution by a bank would be unsafe or unsound, the Commissioner may order a bank to refrain from making such a proposed distribution. As of September 30, 2023, HBC would not be required to obtain regulatory approval, and the amount available for cash dividends is $42,085,000. HBC distributed to HCC dividends of $8,000,000 during the first, second, and third quarters of 2023 for a total of $24,000,000.

​

13) Commitments and Loss Contingencies

​

Loss Contingencies

​

Within the ordinary course of our business, we are subject to private lawsuits, government audits, administrative proceedings and other claims. A number of these claims may exist at any given time, and some of the claims may be pled as class actions. We could be affected by adverse publicity and litigation costs resulting from such allegations, regardless of whether they are valid or whether we are legally determined to be liable. A summary of proceedings outstanding at September 30, 2023 follows:

D.C. Solar Related:

● In December 2020, Solar Eclipse Investment Fund III, et al v. Heritage Bank of Commerce, et al., was filed against the Bank, and others, in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Solano. The case relates to the Bank’s former deposit relationships with investment funds sponsored by D.C. Solar and affiliates (collectively “D.C. Solar”). D.C. Solar is a former customer that allegedly perpetrated a Ponzi scheme and declared bankruptcy.  In October 2021, the court sustained the Bank’s demurrer without leave to amend on all but two counts.  Subsequently, the 26 plaintiffs sought to overturn the court’s ruling in favor of the Bank by filing a petition for a

38

Table of Contents

writ of mandate in the California District Court of Appeal, which denied the petition.  On December 12, 2022, the court granted the Bank’s motion for judgment on the pleadings on one of the two remaining counts.  On May 4, 2023, the court granted the Bank’s motion for summary judgment on the sole remaining count, and there are no further claims pending against the Bank.  Final resolution of these claims is anticipated in the near future and management does not expect to incur any loss or material legal expenses in connection therewith.

Employee Related:

● In November 2020, a former and a then-current bank employee purporting to represent a class of Bank employees, alleged in a lawsuit that the Bank violated the California Labor Code and California Business and Professions Code, by failing to permit required meal and rest breaks, and by failing to provide accurate wage statements, among other claims. The lawsuit seeks unspecified penalties under the California Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”) in addition to other monetary payments. Because the class/PAGA action alleges wage and hour claims, it is not covered by the Bank’s insurance. In February 2021, the Bank was notified of a set of PAGA and potential class claims alleged by a third former and a then-current bank employee alleging the same claims. The third former employee/claimant is being added as a plaintiff to the previously filed class/PAGA action. We intend to vigorously defend this action.
● In October 2021 the third employee/claimant above referenced filed a lawsuit alleging race, color, gender, and sex discrimination; disability discrimination; discrimination against an employee making a CFRA claim, violation of the Equal Pay Act, retaliation, and related claims.  We intend to vigorously defend this action.

​

● In September 2022 the Bank moved to compel arbitration in both cases; hearings were held in Alameda County Superior Court in early November and early December 2022.  The motions in both cases were denied and the Bank appealed the rulings.  Both cases are stayed pending appeal.

​

The Company makes a provision for a liability relating to legal matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, estimated settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. The outcomes of legal proceedings and other contingencies are, however, inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties. As a result, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the amount or range of possible losses, including losses that could arise as a result of application of non-monetary remedies, with respect to the contingencies it faces, and the Company’s estimates may not prove to be accurate.

​

At this time, we believe that the amount of reasonably possible losses resulting from final disposition of any pending lawsuits, audits, proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect individually or in the aggregate on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. It is possible, however, that our future results of operations for a particular quarter or fiscal year could be impacted by changes in circumstances relating to lawsuits, proceedings or claims. Legal costs related to such claims are expensed as incurred.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

​

In the normal course of business the Company makes commitments to extend credit to its customers as long as there are no violations of any conditions established in the contractual arrangements. These commitments are obligations that represent a potential credit risk to the Company, but are not reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Total unused commitments to extend credit were $1,167,465,000 at September 30, 2023, and $1,134,619,000 at December 31, 2022. Unused commitments represented 36% and 34% of outstanding gross loans at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

​

​

Table of Contents

The effect on the Company’s revenues, expenses, cash flows and liquidity from the unused portion of the commitments to provide credit cannot be reasonably predicted because there is no certainty that lines of credit and letters of credit will ever be fully utilized. The following table presents the Company’s commitments to extend credit for the periods indicated:

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, there was a decrease of $29,000 to the allowance for credit losses on the Company’s off-balance sheet credit exposures. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures in the first nine months of 2023 was driven by lower loan commitments. The allowance for credit losses on the Company’s off-balance sheet credit exposures was $791,000 at September 30, 2023 and $820,000 at December 31, 2022.

​

14) Revenue Recognition

​

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09 (Topic 606) and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 606. Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. In addition, certain noninterest income streams such as fees associated with mortgage servicing rights, financial guarantees, gain on sale of securities, bank-owned life insurance, gain on sales of SBA loans, and certain credit card fees are also not in scope of the new guidance. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as deposit related fees, interchange fees, and merchant income. However, the recognition of these revenue streams did not change significantly upon adoption of Topic 606. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is generated from contracts with customers. The following noninterest income revenue streams are in-scope of Topic 606:

​

Service charges and fees on deposit accounts consist of account analysis fees (i.e., net fees earned on analyzed business and public checking accounts), monthly service fees, check orders, and other deposit account related fees. We sometimes charge customers fees that are not specifically related to the customer accessing its funds, such as account maintenance or dormancy fees. The amount of deposit fees assessed varies based on a number of factors, such as the type of customer and account, the quantity of transactions, and the size of the deposit balance. We charge, and in some circumstances do not charge, fees to earn additional revenue and influence certain customer behavior. An example would be where we do not charge a monthly service fee, or do not charge for certain transactions, for customers that have a high deposit balance. Deposit fees are considered either transactional in nature (such as wire transfers, nonsufficient fund fees, and stop payment orders) or non-transactional (such as account maintenance and dormancy fees). These fees are recognized as earned or as transactions occur and services are provided. Check orders and other deposit account related fees are largely transactional based and, therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts.

​

The Company currently accounts for sales of foreclosed assets in accordance with Topic 360-20. In most cases the Company will seek to engage a real estate agent for the sale of foreclosed assets immediately upon foreclosure. However, in some cases, where there is clear demand for the property in question, the Company may elect to allow for a marketing period of no more than six months to attempt a direct sale of the property. We generally recognize the sale, and any associated gain or loss, of a real estate property when control of the property transfers. Any gains or losses from the sale are recorded to noninterest income/expense.

16) Leases

​

The Company recognizes the following for all leases, at the commencement date: (1) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use, of a specified asset for the lease term. The Company is impacted as a lessee of the offices and real estate used for operations. The Company's lease agreements include options to renew at the Company's option. No lease extensions are reasonably certain to be exercised, therefore it was not considered in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability. As of September 30, 2023, operating lease ROU assets, included in other assets, and lease liabilities, included in other liabilities, totaled $31,979,000.

17) Business Segment Information

​

The following presents the Company’s operating segments. The Company operates through two business segments: Banking segment and Factoring segment. Transactions between segments consist primarily of borrowed funds. Intersegment interest expense is allocated to the Factoring segment based on the Company’s prime rate and funding costs. The provision for credit losses on loans is allocated based on the segment’s allowance for loan loss determination which considers the effects of charge-offs. Noninterest income and expense directly attributable to a segment are assigned to it. Taxes are paid on a consolidated basis and allocated for segment purposes. The Factoring segment includes only factoring originated by Bay View Funding.

ITEM 2—MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

​

The following discussion provides information about the results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, and capital resources of Heritage Commerce Corp (the “Company” or “HCC”), its wholly-owned subsidiary, Heritage Bank of Commerce (“HBC” or the “Bank”), and HBC’s wholly-owned subsidiary, CSNK Working Capital Finance Corp., a California Corporation, dba Bay View Funding (“Bay View Funding”). This information is intended to facilitate the understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to our financial condition and the results of operations. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes presented elsewhere in this report. Unless we state otherwise or the context indicates otherwise, references to the “Company,” “Heritage,” “we,” “us,” and “our,” in this Report on Form 10-Q refer to Heritage Commerce Corp and its subsidiaries.

​

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

​

Critical accounting policies are discussed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no changes in the Company's application of critical accounting policies since December 31, 2022, except for the adoption the following new accounting standard:

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the guidance of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2022-02 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, which 1) eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") by creditors while enhancing the disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty; and 2) requires that an entity disclose current-period gross writeoffs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this ASU is further discussed “Note 1 – Basis of Presentation – Adoption of New Accounting Standard and Note 5 – Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans.”

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

​

This summary is intended to identify the most important matters on which management focuses when it evaluates the financial condition and performance of the Company. When evaluating financial condition and performance, management looks at certain key metrics and measures. The Company’s evaluation includes comparisons with peer group financial institutions and its own performance objectives established in the internal planning process.

​

The Company’s primary business activity is commercial banking located entirely in the general San Francisco Bay Area of California. Our operations are located in the counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Benito, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara. The Company’s market includes the cities of Oakland, San Francisco and San Jose and the headquarters of a number of technology based companies in the region known commonly as Silicon Valley. The Company’s customers are primarily closely held businesses and professionals.

Banking Economy and Recent Developments

Beginning in late 2021, the Federal Reserve Board Open Markets Committee, which is charged with establishing benchmark interest rates, began a series of upward adjustments to the “discount rate” for short-term borrowings in response to increases in inflationary pressures. Financial institutions promptly followed these adjustments, increasing interest rate pricing on loans and deposits. While such adjustments are commonplace and tend to affect the banking industry as a whole, the pace and degree of these adjustments were nearly unprecedented, resulting in banks, including HBC, confronting substantial pressure on a number of fronts. In particular, banks were forced to increase interest rates paid on deposits in order to meet competitive pressures from other financial institutions, as well as from treasury securities and other investment opportunities that offered greater earning capabilities for those customers.

The increases in market interest rates also were reflected in loan pricing, which had multiple effects, including a reduction in borrowing (and thus a reduction in interest paid to banks) by customers that had the ability to avoid or defer additional indebtedness, a decline in the origination of new loans, and an increase in credit risk as borrowers who faced rising interest rates found it more difficult to comply with their loan obligations.

45

Table of Contents

The combination of these factors has exerted downward pressure on our interest-earning assets and our net interest income.

Lastly, as a result of the prolonged low-interest-rate environment that had prevailed for years prior to the more recent market rate increases, HBC, like most other financial institutions, had invested in treasury securities and other relatively low-yielding but stable instruments as a means to preserve liquidity, accepting the lower returns as a trade-off for a perceived lower risk profile. However, the rapidity of the Federal Reserve’s rate increases resulted in a dramatic loss of value for bonds that were paying at lower interest rates as investors eschewed those investments for higher-yielding fixed- and adjustable-rate debt securities. These forces even resulted in the closure of three large U.S. banks, including two in HBC’s market area, when customers alarmed at the apparent instability in the banking sector quickly demanded a return of their deposits at a time when banks were confronting substantial challenges.

Performance Overview

​

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, net income was $15.8 million, or $0.26 per average diluted common share, compared to $18.1 million, or $0.30 per average diluted common share, for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The Company’s annualized return on average tangible assets was 1.20% and annualized return on average tangible common equity was 13.06% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 1.36% and 16.60%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

​

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net income was $51.1 million, or $0.83 per average diluted common share, compared to $45.8 million, or $0.75 per average diluted common share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company’s annualized return on average tangible assets was 1.33% and annualized return on average tangible common equity was 14.52% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 1.17% and 14.41%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Third Quarter 2023 Highlights

​

Results of Operations:

​

● Net interest income decreased (6%) to $45.4 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $48.0 million for the third quarter of 2022. The fully tax equivalent (“FTE”) net interest margin decreased (16) basis points to 3.57% for the third quarter of 2023, from 3.73% for the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to a higher cost of funds, and a decrease in the average balances of noninterest-bearing demand deposits, partially offset by increases in the prime rate and the rate on overnight funds, and a shift in the mix of earning assets as the Company invested its excess liquidity into higher yielding loans and investment securities.

​

● For the first nine months of 2023, the net interest income increased 10% to $140.9 million, compared to $128.1 million for the first nine months of 2022. The FTE net interest margin increased 41 basis points to 3.80% for the first nine months of 2023, from 3.39% for the first nine months of 2022, primarily due to increases in the prime rate and the rate on overnight funds, and a shift in the mix of earning assets as the

Company invested its excess liquidity into higher yielding loans and investment securities, partially offset by a higher cost of funds, a decrease in the average balances of noninterest-bearing demand deposits, and an increase in the average balances of short-term borrowings.

​

● The average yield on the total loan portfolio increased to 5.46% for the third quarter of 2023, compared to 4.90% for the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to increases in market interest rates.
● The average yield on the total loan portfolio increased to 5.46% for the first nine months of 2023, compared to 4.81% for the first nine months of 2022, primarily due to increases in market interest rates, partially offset by a decrease in the accretion of the loan purchase discount into interest income from acquired loans, lower prepayment fees, and higher average balances of lower yielding purchased residential mortgages.

​

● In aggregate, the remaining net purchase discount on total loans acquired was $3.5 million at September 30, 2023.

​

● The average cost of total deposits increased to 1.29% for the third quarter of 2023, compared to 0.13% for the third quarter of 2022. The average cost of funds increased to 1.33% for the third quarter of 2023, compared to 0.18% for the third quarter of 2022.
● The average cost of total deposits increased to 0.94% for the first nine months of 2023, compared to 0.11% for the first nine months of 2022. The average cost of funds increased to 1.01% for the first nine months of 2023, compared to 0.16% for the first nine months of 2022.
● The increase in the average cost of total deposits and the average cost of funds for the third quarter of 2023 and first nine months of 2023 was primarily due to clients seeking higher yields and moving noninterest-bearing deposits to the Bank’s interest-bearing and Insured Cash Sweep (“ICS”) deposits and an increase in market interest rates on deposits.
● During the third quarter of 2023, we recorded a provision for credit losses on loans of $168,000, compared to a $1.0 million provision for credit losses on loans for the third quarter of 2022. There was a provision for credit losses on loans of $460,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a $258,000 provision for credit losses on loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

​

● Total noninterest income decreased (20%) to $2.2 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $2.8 million for the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to lower service charges and fees on deposit accounts, a lower gain on sales of SBA loans and lower servicing income, partially offset by higher termination fees at Bay View Funding, and a gain on proceeds from company-owned life insurance during the third quarter of 2023.

​

● For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, total noninterest income decreased (4%) to $7.1 million, compared to $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to a $669,000 gain on warrants during the first nine months of 2022, and lower interchange fee income on credit cards during the first nine months of 2023, partially offset by higher service charges and fees on deposit accounts during the first nine months of 2023.

​

● Total noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2023 increased to $25.2 million, compared to $23.9 million for the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to higher insurance, regulatory assessments, and information technology related expenses included in other noninterest expense, partially offset by lower professional fees and occupancy and equipment expense during the third quarter of 2023.

​

● Total noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased to $75.6 million, compared to $70.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits, and higher insurance, regulatory assessments, and ICS/Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) fee expenses included in other noninterest expense, partially offset by lower professional fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

​

The Company earns income from two primary sources. The first is net interest income, which is interest income generated by earning assets less interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. The second is noninterest income, which primarily consists of gains on the sale of loans, loan servicing fees, customer service charges and fees, the increase in the cash surrender value of life insurance, and gains on the sale of securities. The majority of the Company’s noninterest expenses are operating costs that relate to providing a full range of banking and lending services to our customers.

​

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

​

The level of net interest income depends on several factors in combination, including yields on earning assets, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, the relative volumes of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the mix of products which comprise the Company’s earning assets, deposits, and other interest-bearing liabilities. To maintain its net interest margin the Company must manage the relationship between interest earned and paid.

​

The following Distribution, Rate and Yield table presents the average amounts outstanding for the major categories of the Company’s balance sheet, the average interest rates and amounts earned or paid thereon, and the resulting net interest margin on average interest earning assets for the periods indicated. Average balances are based on daily averages.

Volume and Rate Variances

​

The Volume and Rate Variances table below sets forth the dollar difference in interest earned and paid for each major category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the noted periods, and the amount of such change attributable to changes in average balances (volume) or changes in average interest rates. Volume variances are equal to the increase or decrease in the average balance times the prior period rate, and rate variances are equal to the increase or decrease in the average rate times the prior period average balance. Variances attributable to both rate and volume changes are equal to the change in rate times the change in average balance and are included below in the average volume column.

Net interest income decreased (6%) to $45.4 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $48.0 million for the third quarter of 2022. The fully tax equivalent (“FTE”) net interest margin decreased (16) basis points to 3.57% for the third quarter of 2023, from 3.73% for the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to a higher cost of funds, and a decrease in the average balances of noninterest-bearing demand deposits, partially offset by increases in the prime rate and the rate on overnight funds, and a shift in the mix of earning assets as the Company invested its excess liquidity into higher yielding loans and investment securities.

​

For the first nine months of 2023, the net interest income increased 10% to $140.9 million, compared to $128.1 million for the first nine months of 2022. The FTE net interest margin increased 41 basis points to 3.80% for the first nine months of 2023, from 3.39% for the first nine months of 2022, primarily due to increases in the prime rate and the rate on overnight funds, and a shift in the mix of earning assets as the Company invested its excess liquidity into higher yielding loans and investment securities, partially offset by a higher cost of funds, a decrease in the average balances of noninterest-bearing demand deposits, and an increase in the average balances of short-term borrowings.

​

The average yield on the total loan portfolio increased to 5.46% for the first nine months of 2023, compared to 4.81% for the first nine months of 2022, primarily due to increases in market interest rates, partially offset by a decrease in the accretion of the loan purchase discount into interest income from acquired loans, lower prepayment fees, and higher average balances of lower yielding purchased residential mortgages.

​

In aggregate, the remaining net purchase discount on total loans acquired was $3.5 million at September 30, 2023.

​

The average cost of total deposits increased to 1.29% for the third quarter of 2023, compared to 0.13% for the third quarter of 2022. The average cost of funds increased to 1.33% for the third quarter of 2023, compared to 0.18% for the third quarter of 2022. The average cost of total deposits increased to 0.94% for the first nine months of 2023, compared to 0.11% for the first nine months of 2022. The average cost of funds increased to 1.01% for the first nine months of 2023, compared to 0.16% for the first nine months of 2022.

The increase in the average cost of total deposits and the average cost of funds for the third quarter of 2023 and first nine months of 2023 was primarily due to clients seeking higher yields and moving noninterest-bearing deposits to the Bank’s interest-bearing and ICS deposits and an increase in market interest rates.

​

Provision for Credit Losses on Loans

​

Credit risk is inherent in the business of making loans. The Company establishes an allowance for credit losses on loans through charges to earnings, which are presented in the statements of income as the provision for credit losses on loans. Specifically identifiable and quantifiable known losses are promptly charged off against the allowance. The provision for credit losses on loans is determined by conducting a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for credit losses on loans and charging the shortfall or excess, if any, to the current quarter’s expense. This has the effect of creating variability in the amount and frequency of charges to the Company’s earnings. The provision for credit losses on loans and level of allowance for each period are dependent upon many factors, including loan growth, net charge-offs, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, delinquencies, management’s assessment of the quality of the loan portfolio, the valuation of problem loans and the general economic conditions in the Company’s market area.

Table of Contents

The provision for credit losses on loans and level of allowance for each period are also dependent on forecast data for the state of California including GDP and unemployment rate projections.

​

During the third quarter of 2023, we recorded a provision for credit losses on loans of $168,000, compared to a $1.0 million of provision for credit losses on loans for the third quarter of 2022. There was a provision for credit losses on loans of $460,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a $258,000 of provision for credit losses on loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Provisions for credit losses on loans are charged to operations to bring the allowance for credit losses on loans to a level deemed appropriate by the Company based on the factors discussed under “Credit Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans.”

Total noninterest income decreased (20%) to $2.2 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $2.8 million for the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to lower service charges and fees on deposit accounts, a lower gain on sales of SBA loans and lower servicing income, partially offset by higher termination fees at Bay View Funding, and a gain on proceeds from company-owned life insurance during the third quarter of 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, total noninterest income decreased (4%) to $7.1 million, compared to $7.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to a $669,000 gain on warrants during the first nine months of 2022, and lower interchange fee income on credit cards during the first nine months of 2023, partially offset by higher service charges and fees on deposit accounts during the first nine months of 2023.

​

A portion of the Company’s noninterest income has been associated with its SBA lending activity, as gains on the sale of loans sold in the secondary market and servicing income from loans sold with servicing rights retained. For the third quarter of 2023, SBA loan sales resulted in an $207,000 gain, compared to a $308,000 gain on sales of SBA loans for the third quarter of 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, SBA loan sales resulted in a $482,000 gain, compared to a $491,000 gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The servicing assets that result from the sales of SBA loans with servicing retained are amortized over the expected term of the loans using a method approximating the interest method. Servicing income generally declines as the respective loans are repaid.

Total noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2023 increased to $25.2 million, compared to $23.9 million for the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to higher insurance, regulatory assessments, and information technology related expenses included in other noninterest expense, partially offset by lower professional fees and occupancy and equipment expense during the third quarter of 2023. Total noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased to $75.6 million, compared to $70.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits, and higher insurance, regulatory assessments, and ICS/CDARS fee expenses included in other noninterest expense, partially offset by lower professional fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

​

Full time equivalent employees were 348 at September 30, 2023, compared to 327 at September 30, 2022, and 340 and at December 31, 2022.

​

Income Tax Expense

​

The Company computes its provision for income taxes on a monthly basis. The effective tax rate is determined by applying the Company’s statutory income tax rates to pre-tax book income as adjusted for permanent differences between pre-tax book income and actual taxable income. These permanent differences include, but are not limited to, increases in the cash surrender value of life insurance policies, interest on tax-exempt securities, certain expenses that are not allowed as tax deductions, and tax credits.

​

The following table shows the Company’s effective income tax rates for the periods indicated:

The Company’s Federal and state income tax expense for the third quarter of 2023 was $6.5 million, compared to $7.8 million for the third quarter of 2022. The Company’s Federal and state income tax expense for the first nine months of 2023 was $20.8 million, compared to $19.1 million for the first nine months of 2022.

​

Some items of income and expense are recognized in one year for tax purposes, and another when applying generally accepted accounting principles, which leads to timing differences between the Company’s actual tax liability, and the amount accrued for this liability based on book income. These temporary differences comprise the “deferred” portion of the Company’s tax expense or benefit, which is accumulated on the Company’s books as a deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability until such time as they reverse.

Realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets is primarily dependent upon the Company generating sufficient future taxable income to obtain benefit from the reversal of net deductible temporary differences and the utilization of tax credit carryforwards and the net operating loss carryforwards for Federal and state income tax purposes. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable is subject to adjustment in future periods based on estimates of future taxable income.

59

Table of Contents

Under generally accepted accounting principles a valuation allowance is required to be recognized if it is “more likely than not” that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The determination of the realizability of the deferred tax assets is highly subjective and dependent upon judgment concerning management’s evaluation of both positive and negative evidence, including forecasts of future income, cumulative losses, applicable tax planning strategies, and assessments of current and future economic and business conditions.

​

The Company had net deferred tax assets of $30.6 million at September 30, 2023, $33.0 million at September 30, 2022, and $32.2 million at December 31, 2022. After consideration of the matters in the preceding paragraph, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2023, September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2022 will be fully realized in future years.

​

FINANCIAL CONDITION

​

At September 30, 2023, total assets decreased (1%) to $5.403 billion, compared to $5.431 billion at September 30, 2022, and increased 5% from $5.158 billion at December 31, 2022.

​

Securities available-for-sale, at fair value, were $457.2 million at September 30, 2023, a decrease of (4%) from $478.5 million at September 30, 2022, and decreased (7%) from $489.6 million at December 31, 2022. Securities held-to-maturity, at amortized cost, were $664.7 million at September 30, 2023, a decrease of (6%) from $703.8 million at September 30, 2022, and a decrease of (7%) from $715.0 million at December 31, 2022.

​

(1) Reflects tax equivalent adjustment for Federal tax exempt income based on a 21% tax rate.
(2) Gross of the allowance for credit losses of $13,000 at September 30, 2023.

​

The securities portfolio serves the following purposes: (i) it provides a source of pledged assets for securing certain deposits and borrowed funds, as may be required by law or by specific agreement with a depositor or lender; (ii) it provides liquidity to even out cash flows from the loan and deposit activities of customers; (iii) it can be used as an interest rate risk management tool, since it provides a large base of assets, the maturity and interest rate characteristics of which can be changed more readily than the loan portfolio to better match changes in the deposit base and other funding sources of the Company; and (iv) it is an alternative interest-earning use of funds when loan demand is weak or when deposits grow more rapidly than loans.

​

The Company’s portfolio may include: (i) U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. Government sponsored entities’ debt securities for liquidity and pledging; (ii) mortgage-backed securities, which in many instances can also be used for pledging, and which generally enhance the yield of the portfolio; (iii) municipal obligations, which provide tax free income and limited pledging potential; (iv) single entity issue trust preferred securities, which generally enhance the yield on the portfolio; (v) corporate bonds, which also enhance the yield on the portfolio; (vi) money market mutual funds; (vii) certificates of deposit; (viii) commercial paper; (ix) bankers acceptances; (x) repurchase agreements; (xi) collateralized mortgage obligations; and (xii) asset-backed securities.

​

The Company classifies its securities as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity at the time of purchase. Accounting guidance requires available-for-sale securities to be marked to fair value with an offset to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of shareholders’ equity. Monthly adjustments are made to reflect changes in the fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale securities.

​

The following table shows the pre-tax unrealized and unrecognized (loss) on securities available-for-sale and securities held-to-maturity and the allowance for credit losses for the periods indicated:

Table of Contents

The pre-tax unrealized loss on securities available-for-sale was ($16.8) million, or ($12.0) million net of taxes, which was 1.8% of total shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2023. The pre-tax unrecognized loss on securities held-to-maturity at September 30, 2023 was ($122.7) million, or ($86.4) million net of taxes, which was 13.1% of total shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2023. The unrealized and unrecognized losses in both the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity portfolios were due to higher interest rates at September 30, 2023 compared to when the securities were purchased. The issuers are of high credit quality and all principal amounts are expected to be repaid when the securities mature. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date and/or interest rates decline.

​

Loans

​

The Company’s loans represent the largest portion of invested assets, substantially greater than the securities portfolio or any other asset category, and the quality and diversification of the loan portfolio is an important consideration when reviewing the Company’s financial condition. Gross loans, excluding loans held-for-sale, represented 61% of total assets at September 30 2023, represented 59% at September 30, 2022 and 64% at December 31, 2022. The loan to deposit ratio was 71.81% at September 30, 2023, compared to 68.68% at September 30, 2022, and 75.14% at December 31, 2022.

​

The Company’s loan portfolio is concentrated in commercial loans, (primarily manufacturing, wholesale, and services oriented entities), and CRE, with the remaining balance in land development and construction, home equity, purchased residential mortgages, and consumer loans. The Company does not have any concentrations by industry or group of industries in its loan portfolio, however, 86% of its gross loans were secured by real property at September 30, 2023, compared to 82% at September 30, 2022, and 83% at December 31, 2022. While no specific industry concentration is considered significant, the Company’s bank lending operations are substantially located in areas that are dependent on the technology and real estate industries and their supporting companies.

​

The Company has established concentration limits in its loan portfolio for CRE loans, commercial loans, construction loans and unsecured lending, among others. The Company uses underwriting guidelines to assess the borrower’s historical cash flow to determine debt service, and we further stress test the debt service under higher interest rate scenarios. Financial and performance covenants are used in commercial lending to allow the Company to react to a borrower’s deteriorating financial condition should that occur.

​

The Company’s commercial loans are made for working capital, financing the purchase of equipment or for other business purposes. Commercial loans include loans with maturities ranging from thirty days to one year and “term loans” with maturities normally ranging from one to five years. Short-term business loans are generally intended to finance current transactions and typically provide for periodic principal payments, with interest payable monthly. Term loans normally provide for floating interest rates, with monthly payments of both principal and interest.

​

The Company is an active participant in the SBA and U.S. Department of Agriculture guaranteed lending programs, and has been approved by the SBA as a lender under the Preferred Lender Program. The Company regularly makes such guaranteed loans (collectively referred to as “SBA loans”). The guaranteed portion of these loans is typically sold in the secondary market depending on market conditions.

62

Table of Contents

When the guaranteed portion of an SBA loan is sold, the Company retains the servicing rights for the sold portion. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, loans were sold resulting in a gain on sales of SBA loans of $482,000 and $491,000, respectively.

​

The Company’s factoring receivables are from the operations of Bay View Funding whose primary business is purchasing and collecting factored receivables. Factored receivables are receivables that have been transferred by the originating organization and typically have not been subject to previous collection efforts. These receivables are acquired from a variety of companies, including but not limited to service providers, transportation companies, manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, apparel companies, advertisers, and temporary staffing companies. The portfolio of factored receivables is included in the Company’s commercial loan portfolio. The average life of the factored receivables was 39 days for the both the first nine months of 2023 and the first nine months of 2022. The balance of the purchased receivables was $52.1 million at September 30, 2023, compared to $60.5 million at September 30, 2022, and $79.3 million at December 31, 2022.

​

The commercial loan portfolio decreased ($112.1) million, or (21%), to $430.7 million at September 30, 2023, from $542.8 million at September 30, 2022, and decreased ($103.2) million, or (19%), from $533.9 million at December 31, 2022. Commercial and industrial (“C&I”) line usage was 27% at September 30, 2023, compared to 29% at both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022.

​

The Company’s CRE loans consist primarily of loans based on the borrower’s cash flow and are secured by deeds of trust on commercial property to provide a secondary source of repayment. The Company generally restricts real estate term loans to no more than 75% of the property’s appraised value or the purchase price of the property depending on the type of property and its utilization. The Company offers both fixed and floating rate loans. Maturities for CRE loans are generally between five and ten years (with amortization ranging from fifteen to twenty five years and a balloon payment due at maturity), however, SBA and certain other real estate loans that can be sold in the secondary market may be granted for longer maturities.

​

The CRE owner-occupied loan portfolio decreased ($22.4) million, or (4%), to $589.8 million at September 30, 2023, from $612.2 million at September 30, 2022, and decreased ($24.9) million, or (4%), from $614.7 million at December 31, 2022. CRE non-owner occupied loans increased $184.9 million, or 18%, to $1.208 billion at September 30, 2023, compared to $1.203 billion at September 30, 2022, and increased $142.0 million, or 13%, from $1.066 billion at December 31, 2022. At September 30, 2023, 33% of the CRE loan portfolio was secured by owner-occupied real estate, compared to 37% at both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022.

​

The average loan size for all CRE loans at September 30, 2023 was $1.6 million, which was the same as the average loan size for office CRE loans at this date. The Company has personal guarantees on 91% of its CRE portfolio. A substantial portion of the unguaranteed CRE loans were made to credit-worthy non-profit organizations. Total office exposure in the CRE portfolio was $401 million, including 30 loans totaling approximately $76 million, in San Jose, 17 loans totaling approximately $26 million in San Francisco, and eight loans totaling approximately $16 million, in Oakland, at September 30, 2023. Non-owner occupied CRE with office exposure totaled $316 million at September 30, 2023. Of the $401 million of CRE loans with office exposure, approximately $37 million, or 9%, are situated in the Bay Area downtown business districts of San Jose and San Francisco, with an average balance of $2.2 million.

​

At September 30, 2023, the weighted average loan-to-value and debt-service coverage for the entire non-owner occupied office portfolio were 43.1% and 1.82 times, respectively. For the nine non-owner occupied office loans in San Francisco at September 30, 2023, the weighted average loan-to-value and debt-service coverage were 36% and 1.49 times, respectively.

​

The Company’s land and construction loans are primarily to finance the development and construction of commercial and single family residential properties. The Company utilizes underwriting guidelines to assess the likelihood of repayment from sources such as sale of the property or availability of permanent mortgage financing prior to making the construction loan. Construction loans are provided only in our market area, and the Company has extensive controls for the disbursement process. Land and construction loans decreased ($9.3) million, or (6%), to $158.1 million at September 30, 2023, compared to $167.4 million at September 30, 2022, and decreased ($5.5) million, or (3%), from $163.6 million at December 31, 2022.

​

The Company makes home equity lines of credit available to its existing customers. Home equity lines of credit are underwritten initially with a maximum 75% loan to value ratio. Home equity lines of credit increased $8.0 million, or 7%, to $124.5 million at September 30, 2023, compared to $116.5 million at September 30, 2022, and increased $3.8 million, or 3%, from $120.7 million at December 31, 2022.

​

Multifamily loans increased $23.6 million, or 10%, to $253.1 million, at September 30, 2023, compared to $229.5 million at September 30, 2022, and increased $8.2 million, or 3%, from $244.9 million at December 31, 2022.

​

From time to time the Company has purchased single family residential mortgage loans. Purchases of residential loans have been an attractive alternative for replacing mortgage-backed security paydowns in the investment securities portfolio. Residential mortgage loans decreased ($5.8) million, or (1%), to $503.0 million at September 30, 2023, compared to $508.8 million at September 30, 2022, and decreased ($34.9) million, or (6%) from $537.9 million at December 31, 2022.

​

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company purchased single family residential mortgage loans totaling $185.4 million, tied to homes all located in California, with average principal balances of approximately $950,000.

​

Consumer and other loans increased $1.9 million, or 11%, to $18.5 million at September 30, 2023, compared to $16.6 million at September 30, 2022, and increased $1.5 million, or 9% from $17.0 million at December 31, 2022.

​

Additionally, the Company makes consumer loans for the purpose of financing automobiles, various types of consumer goods, and other personal purposes. Consumer loans generally provide for the monthly payment of principal and interest. Most of the Company’s consumer loans are secured by the personal property being purchased or, in the instances of home equity loans or lines, real property.

​

With certain exceptions, state chartered banks are permitted to make extensions of credit to any one borrowing entity totaling up to 15% of the bank’s capital and reserves for unsecured loans and up to 25% of the bank’s capital and reserves for secured loans. For HBC, these lending limits were $109.1 million and $181.8 million at September 30, 2023, respectively.

Loan Maturities

​

The following table presents the maturity distribution of the Company’s loans (excluding loans held-for-sale) as of September 30, 2023. The table shows the distribution of such loans between those loans with predetermined (fixed) interest rates and those with variable (floating) interest rates. Floating rates generally fluctuate with changes in the prime rate as reflected in the Western Edition of The Wall Street Journal. As of September 30, 2023, approximately 27% of the Company’s loan portfolio consisted of floating interest rate loans.

Credit Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

​

Financial institutions generally have a certain level of exposure to credit quality risk, and could potentially receive less than a full return of principal and interest if a debtor becomes unable or unwilling to repay. Since loans are the most significant assets of the Company and generate the largest portion of its revenues, the Company’s management of credit quality risk is focused primarily on loan quality. Banks have generally suffered their most severe earnings declines as a result of customers’ inability to generate sufficient cash flow to service their debts and/or downturns in national and regional economies and declines in overall asset values including real estate. In addition, certain debt securities that the Company may purchase have the potential of declining in value if the obligor’s financial capacity to repay deteriorates.

​

The Company’s policies and procedures identify market segments, set goals for portfolio growth or contraction, and establish limits on industry and geographic credit concentrations. In addition, these policies establish the Company’s underwriting standards and the methods of monitoring ongoing credit quality. The Company’s internal credit risk controls are centered in underwriting practices, credit granting procedures, training, risk management techniques, and familiarity with loan customers as well as the relative diversity and geographic concentration of our loan portfolio.

​

The Company’s credit risk may also be affected by external factors such as the level of interest rates, employment, general economic conditions, real estate values, and trends in particular industries or geographic markets. As an independent community bank serving a specific geographic area, the Company must contend with the unpredictable changes in the general California market and, particularly, primary local markets. The Company’s asset quality has suffered in the past from the impact of national and regional economic recessions, consumer bankruptcies, and depressed real estate values.

​

Nonperforming assets are comprised of the following: loans for which the Company is no longer accruing interest; loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest (although they are generally placed on nonaccrual when they become 90 days past due, unless they are both well-secured and in the process of collection); and foreclosed assets. Past due loans 30 days or greater totaled $11.9 million and $17.1 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, of which $2.5 million and $479,000 were on nonaccrual. At September 30, 2023, there were also $996,000 loans less than 30 days past due included in nonaccrual loans held-for-investment. At December 31, 2022, there were also $261,000 loans less than 30 days past due included in nonaccrual loans held-for-investment.

​

Management’s classification of a loan as “nonaccrual” is an indication that there is reasonable doubt as to the full recovery of principal or interest on the loan. At that point, the Company stops accruing interest income, and reverses any uncollected interest that had been accrued as income. The Company begins recognizing interest income only as cash interest payments are received and it has been determined the collection of all outstanding principal is not in doubt. The loans may or may not be collateralized, and collection efforts are pursued on all nonaccrual loans. Loans may be restructured by management when a borrower has experienced some change in financial status causing an inability to meet the original repayment terms and where the Company believes the borrower will eventually overcome those circumstances and make full restitution. Foreclosed assets consist of properties acquired by foreclosure or similar means that management is offering or will offer for sale.

​

The following table summarizes the Company’s nonperforming assets at the dates indicated:

Loans with a well-defined weakness, which are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain a loss if the deficiencies are not corrected, are categorized as “classified.” Classified loans include all loans considered as substandard, substandard-nonaccrual, and doubtful and may result from problems specific to a borrower’s business or from economic downturns that affect the borrower’s ability to repay or that cause a decline in the value of the underlying collateral (particularly real estate). Loans held-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value, and are not allocated an allowance for loan losses.

​

The amortized cost basis of collateral-dependent commercial loans collateralized by business assets totaled $443,000 at September 30, 2023. The amortized cost basis of collateral-dependent commercial loans collateralized by business assets totaled $324,000 at December 31, 2022.

​

When management determines that foreclosures are probable, expected credit losses for collateral-dependent loans are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. For loans for which foreclosure is not probable, but for which repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, management has elected the practical expedient under ASC 326 to estimate expected credit losses based on the fair value of collateral, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. The class of loan represents the primary collateral type associated with the loan. Significant quarter over quarter changes are reflective of changes in nonaccrual status and not necessarily associated with credit quality indicators like appraisal value.

Classified loans were $31.5 million, or 0.57% of total assets, at September 30, 2023, compared to $28.6 million, or 0.53% of total assets, at September 30, 2022, and $14.5 million, or 0.28% of total assets at December 31, 2022.

In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed in accordance with the Company’s underwriting policy.

​

The ACLL is calculated by using the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology.  The ACLL estimation process involves procedures to appropriately consider the unique characteristics of loan portfolio segments. These segments are further disaggregated into loan classes, the level at which credit risk is monitored. When computing the level of expected credit losses, credit loss assumptions are estimated using a model that categorizes loan pools based on loss history, delinquency status, and other credit trends and risk characteristics, including current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future. Determining the appropriateness of the allowance is complex and requires judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. In future periods, evaluations of the overall loan portfolio in light of the factors and forecasts then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the allowance and credit loss expense in those future periods.

​

The allowance level is influenced by loan volumes, loan risk rating migration or delinquency status, changes in historical loss experience, and other conditions influencing loss expectations, such as reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions. The methodology for estimating the amount of expected credit losses reported in the allowance for credit losses has two basic components: first, an asset-specific component involving individual loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans and the measurement of expected credit losses for such individual loans; and second, a pooled component for estimated expected credit losses for pools of loans that share similar risk characteristics.

​

Loans are charged-off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance for credit losses on loans.

​

The following provides a summary of the risks associated with various segments of the Company’s loan portfolio, which are factors management regularly considers when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance:

​

Commercial

​

Commercial loans rely primarily on the identified cash flows of the borrower for repayment and secondarily on the value of underlying collateral provided by the borrower. However, the cash flows of the borrowers may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may vary in value. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or on other business assets such as accounts receivable, inventory or equipment and may incorporate a personal guarantee; however, some loans may be unsecured.

​

CRE

​

CRE loans rely primarily on the cash flows of the properties securing the loan and secondarily on the value of the property that is securing the loan. CRE loans comprise two segments differentiated by owner occupied CRE and non-owner occupied CRE.  Owner occupied CRE loans are secured by commercial properties that are at least 50% occupied by the borrower or borrower affiliate. Non-owner occupied CRE loans are secured by commercial properties that are less than 50% occupied by the borrower or a borrower affiliate. CRE loans may be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy.

​

Land and Construction

​

Land and construction loans are generally based on estimates of costs and value associated with the complete project. Construction loans usually involve the disbursement of funds with repayment substantially dependent on the success of the completion of the project. Sources of repayment for these loans may be permanent loans from HBC or other lenders, or proceeds from the sales of the completed project. These loans are monitored through on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risk than other real estate loans due to the final repayment dependent on numerous factors including general economic conditions.

​

Home Equity

​

Home equity loans are secured by 1-4 family residences that are generally owner occupied. Repayment of these loans depends primarily on the personal income of the borrower and secondarily on the value of the property securing the loan which can be impacted by changes in economic conditions such as the unemployment rate and property values.

68

Table of Contents

​

Multifamily

​

Multifamily loans are loans on residential properties with five or more units. These loans rely primarily on the cash flows of the properties securing the loan for repayment and secondarily on the value of the properties securing the loan.  The cash flows of these borrowers can fluctuate along with the values of the underlying property depending on general economic conditions.

​

Residential Mortgages

​

Residential mortgage loans are secured by 1-4 family residences which are generally owner-occupied. Repayment of these loans depends primarily on the personal income of the borrower and secondarily on the value of the property securing the loan which can be impacted by changes in economic conditions such as the unemployment rate and property values.

​

Consumer and Other

​

Consumer and other loans are secured by personal property or are unsecured and rely primarily on the income of the borrower for repayment and secondarily on the collateral value for secured loans.  Borrower income and collateral value can vary dependent on economic conditions.

​

Allocation of Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

​

As a result of the matters mentioned above, changes in the financial condition of individual borrowers, economic conditions, historical loss experience and the condition of the various markets in which collateral may be sold may all affect the required level of the allowance for credit losses on loans and the associated provision for credit losses on loans.

​

On an ongoing basis, we have engaged an outside firm to perform independent credit reviews of our loan portfolio, subject to review by the Federal Reserve Board and the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation. Based on information currently available, management believes that the allowance for credit losses on loans is adequate. However, the loan portfolio can be adversely affected if economic conditions in general, and the real estate market in the San Francisco Bay Area market in particular, were to weaken further. Also, any weakness of a prolonged nature in the technology industry would have a negative impact on the local market. The effect of such events, although uncertain at this time, could result in an increase in the level of nonperforming loans and increased loan losses, which could adversely affect the Company’s future growth and profitability. No assurance of the ultimate level of credit losses can be given with any certainty.

​

Changes in the allowance for credit losses on loans were as follows for the periods indicated:

The increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans to $47.7 million at September 30, 2023, compared to $47.5 million December 31, 2022, was primarily attributed to an increase of $123,000 in the reserve for pooled loans, and an increase of $67,000 in specific reserves for individually evaluated loans.

​

The following table provides a summary of the allocation of the allowance for credit losses on loans by class at the dates indicated. The allocation presented should not be interpreted as an indication that charges to the allowance for credit losses on loans will be incurred in these amounts or proportions, or that the portion of the allowance allocated to each category represents the total amount available for charge-offs that may occur within these classes.

The ACLL totaled $47.7 million, or 1.45% of total loans at September 30, 2023, compared to $46.9 million, or 1.46% of total loans at September 30, 2022, and $47.5 million, or 1.44% of total loans at December 31, 2022. The ACLL was 870% of nonperforming loans at September 30, 2023, compared to 4,529% of nonperforming loans at September 30, 2022, and 1,959% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2022. The Company had net charge-offs of $269,000, or (0.03%) of average loans, for the third quarter of 2023, compared to net recoveries of ($425,000) or (0.05%) of average loans, for the third quarter of 2022, and net recoveries of ($83,000), or (0.01%) of average loans for the fourth quarter of 2022. The total ACLL is sensitive to the forecasted economic factors management has selected in the calculation of the allowance, among other assumptions and inputs including qualitative factors. A decline in California GDP, an increase in California unemployment rate, declining California home and commercial real estate prices, or a combination of these factors, should be expected to result in a further increase in the ACLL.

Leases

​

The Company recognizes the following for all leases, at the commencement date: (1) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The Company's lease agreements include options to renew at the Company's discretion. The extensions are not reasonably certain to be exercised, therefore it was not considered in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability. Total assets and total liabilities were $32.0 million on its consolidated statement of financial condition at September 30, 2023, as a result of recognizing right-of-use assets, included in other assets, and lease liabilities, included in other liabilities, related to non-cancelable operating lease agreements for office space.

​

Deposits

​

The composition and cost of the Company’s deposit base are important components in analyzing the Company’s net interest margin and balance sheet liquidity characteristics, both of which are discussed in greater detail in other sections herein.

71

Table of Contents

The Company’s liquidity is impacted by the volatility of deposits from the propensity of that money to leave the institution for rate-related or other reasons. Deposits can be adversely affected if economic conditions weaken in California, and the Company’s market area in particular. Potentially, the most volatile deposits in a financial institution are jumbo certificates of deposit, meaning time deposits with balances that equal or exceed $250,000, as customers with balances of that magnitude are typically more rate-sensitive than customers with smaller balances.

​

The following table summarizes the distribution of deposits and the percentage of distribution in each category of deposits for the periods indicated:

The Company obtains deposits from a cross-section of the communities it serves. The Company’s business is not generally seasonal in nature. Public funds were less than 1% of deposits at September 30, 2023, September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2022.

​

Total deposits decreased ($107.8) million, or (2%), to $4.575 billion at September 30, 2023, compared to $4.683 billion at September 30, 2022, and increased $185.9 million, or 4%, from $4.390 billion at December 31, 2022.

​

Migration of customer deposits resulted in an increase in ICS/CDARS deposits of $891.3 million to $921.2 million at September 30, 2023, compared to $29.9 million at September 30, 2022, and an increase of $890.8 million from $30.4 million at December 31, 2022. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased ($640.1) million, or (34%), to $1.244 billion at September 30, 2023, compared to $1.884 billion at September 30, 2022, and decreased ($493.2) million from $1.737 billion at December 31, 2022, primarily due to clients seeking higher yields and moving noninterest-bearing deposits to the Bank’s interest-bearing and ICS deposits.

​

The Bank’s uninsured deposits were approximately $2.123 billion, 46% of total deposits, at September 30, 2023, compared to $2.788 billion, or 64% of total deposits at December 31, 2022. The Bank had 24,769 deposits accounts at September 30, 2023, with an average balance of $185,000, compared 23,833 deposit accounts, with an average balance of $184,000, at December 31, 2022. Deposits from the Bank’s top 100 client relationships totaled $2.185 billion, representing 48% of total deposits, with an average account size of $408,000, representing 22% of the total number of accounts at September 30, 2023.

​

At September 30, 2023, the $921.2 million ICS/CDARS deposits comprised $452.4 million of interest-bearing demand deposits, $305.8 million of money market accounts and $163.0 million of time deposits. At September 30, 2022, the $163.0 million ICS/CDARS deposits comprised $26.0 million of interest-bearing demand deposits, $399,000 of money market accounts and $3.5 million of time deposits. At December 31, 2022, the $30.4 million ICS/CDARS deposits comprised $26.0 million of interest-bearing demand deposits, $1.1 million of money market accounts and $3.3 million of time deposits.

Liquidity, Asset/Liability Management and Available Lines of Credit

​

The Company’s liquidity position supports its ability to maintain cash flows sufficient to fund operations, meet all of its financial obligations and commitments, and accommodate unexpected sudden changes in balances of loans and deposits in a timely manner. At various times the Company requires funds to meet short term cash requirements brought about by loan growth or deposit outflows, the purchase of assets, or repayment of liabilities. An integral part of the Company’s ability to manage its liquidity position appropriately is derived from its large base of core deposits which are generated by offering traditional banking services in its service area and which have historically been a stable source of funds.

​

The Company manages liquidity to be able to meet unexpected sudden changes in levels of its assets or deposit liabilities without maintaining excessive amounts of balance sheet liquidity. In order to meet short term liquidity needs the Company utilizes overnight Federal funds purchase arrangements and other borrowing arrangements with correspondent banks, solicits brokered deposits if cost effective deposits are not available from local sources, and maintains collateralized lines of credit with the FHLB and FRB.

​

One of the measures of liquidity is the loan to deposit ratio. The loan to deposit ratio was 71.81% at September 30, 2023, compared to 68.68% at September 30, 2022, and 75.14% at December 31, 2022.

​

The Company’s total liquidity and borrowing capacity was $3.189 billion, all of which remained available at September 30, 2023. The available liquidity and borrowing capacity was 70% of total deposits and approximately 150% of the Bank’s estimated uninsured deposits of $2.123 billion at September 30, 2023. The Bank increased its credit line availability from the FRB and the FHLB by $1.527 billion to $2.366 billion at September 30, 2023, from $839.5 million at December 31, 2022.

​

HBC has off-balance sheet liquidity in the form of Federal funds purchase arrangements with correspondent banks, and borrowing arrangements with the FHLB and FRB. HBC can borrow from the FHLB on a short-term (typically overnight) or long-term (over one year) basis. HBC had $1.220 billion of loans and $377.9 million of securities pledged to the FHLB as collateral on an available line of credit of $1.152 billion at September 30, 2023, none of which was outstanding at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

​

HBC can also borrow from the FRB’s discount window. HBC had $1.667 billion of loans and securities pledged to the FRB as collateral on an available line of credit of $1.215 billion at September 30, 2023, none of which was outstanding at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

​

At September 30, 2023, HBC had Federal funds purchased arrangements available of $80.0 million. There were no Federal funds purchased outstanding at September 30, 2023, September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2022.

​

The Company has a $20.0 million line of credit with a correspondent bank, of which none was outstanding at September 30, 2023, September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2022.

​

Capital Resources

​

The Company uses a variety of measures to evaluate capital adequacy. Management reviews various capital measurements on a regular basis and takes appropriate action to ensure that such measurements are within established internal and external guidelines. The external guidelines, which are issued by the Federal Reserve and the FDIC, establish a risk adjusted ratio relating capital to different categories of assets and off balance sheet exposures.

​

On May 11, 2022, the Company completed a private placement offering of $40.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.00% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due May 15, 2032 (“Sub Debt due 2032”). The Company used the net proceeds of the Sub Debt due 2032 for general corporate purposes, including the repayment on June 1, 2022 of the Company’s $40.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due June 1, 2027 (“Sub Debt due 2027”). The Sub Debt due 2032, net of unamortized issuance costs of $537,000, totaled $39.5 million at September 30, 2023, and qualifies as Tier 2 capital for the Company under the guidelines established by the Federal Reserve Bank

On May 26, 2017, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of $40.0 million aggregate principal amount of its Sub Debt due 2027. The Sub Debt due 2027 had a fixed interest rate of 5.25% per year through June 1, 2022. On June 1, 2022, the Company completed the redemption of all of its outstanding $40.0 million of Sub Debt due 2027, prior to resetting to a floating rate. The Sub Debt due 2027 was redeemed pursuant to the terms of the Subordinated Indenture, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, each dated as of May 26, 2017, between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, at the redemption price of 100% of its principal amount.

(1) Includes 2.5% capital conservation buffer, except the leverage capital ratio.

​

The Basel III capital rules introduced a “capital conservation buffer,” for banking organizations to maintain a common equity Tier 1 ratio more than 2.5% above these minimum risk-weighted asset ratios. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the capital conservation buffer will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall.

​

At September 30, 2023, the Company’s consolidated capital ratio exceeded regulatory guidelines and HBC’s capital ratios exceed the highest regulatory capital requirement of “well-capitalized” under Basel III prompt corrective action provisions. Quantitative measures established by regulation to help ensure capital adequacy require the Company and HBC to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total risk-based capital, Tier 1 capital, and common equity Tier 1 (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined). Management believes that, as of September 30, 2023, September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2022, the Company and HBC met all capital adequacy guidelines to which they were subject.

Market Risk

​

Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values, or future cash flows that may result from changes in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributed to all market risk sensitive financial instruments, including securities, loans, deposits and borrowings, as well as the Company’s role as a financial intermediary in customer-related transactions. The objective of market risk management is to avoid excessive exposure of the Company’s earnings and equity to loss and to reduce the volatility inherent in certain financial instruments. The Company’s exposure to market risk is reviewed on a regular basis by the Management’s Asset/Liability Committee and the Director’s Finance and Investment Committee.

​

Interest Rate Management

​

The Company’s market risk exposure is primarily that of interest rate risk, and it has established policies and procedures to monitor and limit earnings and balance sheet exposure to changes in interest rates. The Company does not engage in the trading of financial instruments, nor does the Company have exposure to currency exchange rates.

​

The principal objective of interest rate risk management (often referred to as “asset/liability management”) is to manage the financial components of the Company in a manner that will optimize the risk/reward equation for earnings and capital in relation to changing interest rates. Interest rate risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair market values. The objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust the balance sheet to minimize the inherent risk while at the same time maximizing income. Management realizes certain risks are inherent, and that the goal is to identify and manage the risks. Management uses two methodologies to manage interest rate risk: (i) a standard GAP analysis; and (ii) an interest rate shock simulation model.

​

The planning of asset and liability maturities is an integral part of the management of an institution’s net interest margin. To the extent maturities of assets and liabilities do not match in a changing interest rate environment, the net interest margin may change over time. Even with perfectly matched repricing of assets and liabilities, risks remain in the form of prepayment of loans or securities or in the form of delays in the adjustment of rates of interest applying to either earning assets with floating rates or to interest-bearing liabilities.

​

Interest rate changes do not affect all categories of assets and liabilities equally or at the same time. Varying interest rate environments can create unexpected changes in prepayment levels of assets and liabilities, which may have a significant effect on the net interest margin and are not reflected in the interest sensitivity analysis table. Because of these factors, an interest sensitivity GAP report may not provide a complete assessment of the exposure to changes in interest rates.

​

The Company uses modeling software for asset/liability management in order to simulate the effects of potential interest rate changes on the Company’s net interest margin, and to calculate the estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments under different interest rate scenarios. The program imports current balances, interest rates, maturity dates and repricing information for individual financial instruments, and incorporates assumptions on the characteristics of embedded options along with pricing and duration for new volumes to project the effects of a given interest rate change on the Company’s interest income and interest expense. Rate scenarios consisting of key rate and yield curve projections are run against the Company’s investment, loan, deposit and borrowed funds’ portfolios. These rate projections can be shocked (an immediate and parallel change in all base rates, up or down) and ramped (an incremental increase or decrease in rates over a specified time period), based on current trends and econometric models or stable economic conditions (unchanged from current actual levels).

77

Table of Contents

Critical assumptions in the Company’s interest rate risk model, like deposit beta assumptions, are reviewed and updated regularly to reflect current market conditions. The deposit beta assumptions were reviewed and increased as of March 31, 2023 for the upward shock scenarios.

(1) Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. These projections are forward-looking and should be considered in light of the Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements on page 3. Actual rates paid on deposits may differ from the hypothetical interest rates modeled due to competitive or market factors, which could reduce any actual impact on net interest income.

​

As with any method of gauging interest rate risk, there are certain shortcomings inherent to the methodology noted above. The model assumes interest rate changes are instantaneous parallel shifts in the yield curve. In reality, rate changes are rarely instantaneous. The use of the simplifying assumption that short-term and long-term rates change by the same degree may also misstate historic rate patterns, which rarely show parallel yield curve shifts. Further, the model assumes that certain assets and liabilities of similar maturity or period to repricing will react in the same way to changes in rates. In reality, certain types of financial instruments may react in advance of changes in market rates, while the reaction of other types of financial instruments may lag behind the change in general market rates. Additionally, the methodology noted above does not reflect the full impact of annual and lifetime restrictions on changes in rates for certain assets, such as adjustable rate loans. When interest rates change, actual loan prepayments and actual early withdrawals from certificates may deviate significantly from the assumptions used in the model. Finally, this methodology does not measure or reflect the impact that higher rates may have on adjustable-rate loan clients’ ability to service their debt. All of these factors are considered in monitoring the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk.

ITEM 3—QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

​

The information concerning quantitative and qualitative disclosure or market risk called for by Item 305 of Regulation S-K is included as part of Item 2 above.

​

ITEM 4—CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

​

Disclosure Control and Procedures

​

The Company has carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023. As defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis. Disclosure controls are also designed to reasonably assure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded the Company’s disclosure controls were effective at September 30, 2023, the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q.

​

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

​

Part II—OTHER INFORMATION

​

ITEM 1—LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

​

We evaluate all claims and lawsuits with respect to their potential merits, our potential defenses and counterclaims, settlement or litigation potential and the expected effect on us. The outcome of any claims or litigation, regardless of the merits, is inherently uncertain. Any claims and other lawsuits, and the disposition of such claims and lawsuits, whether through settlement or litigation, could be time-consuming and expensive to resolve, divert our attention from executing our business plan, result in efforts to enjoin our activities, and lead to attempts by third parties to seek similar claims.

​

For more information regarding legal proceedings, see Note 13 “Commitments and Loss Contingencies” to the consolidated financial statements.

​

ITEM 1A—RISK FACTORS

​

The following discussion supplements the discussion of risk factors affecting us as set forth in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors, on pages 26-50, of our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The discussion of risk factors, as so supplemented, provides a description of some of the important risk factors that could affect our actual results and could cause our results to vary materially from those expressed in public statements or documents. However, other factors besides those included in the discussion of risk factors, as so supplemented, or discussed elsewhere in other of our reports filed with or furnished to the SEC could affect our business or results.

​

Increasing challenges in credit markets and the effects on our current and future borrowers may have an adverse impact on our loan portfolio and may result in losses or increasing provision expense.

In late 2021 and early 2022, partially as a response to inflation in the U.S. and global economies, the Federal Reserve Board began tightening a years-long series of economic stimulus measures that had included historically low interest rates. As those measures were reversed, the Federal Reserve Open Markets committee increased benchmark interest rates from near zero to more than five percent in less than two years. These increases have had a variety of significant impacts, among them a substantial and rapid increase in the interest paid on variable-rate loans. These effects have included a significant reduction in borrowing on existing lines of credit by corporate and individual customers that have the ability to limit increasing indebtedness, and a reduction in the volume of new loans (each of which has the effect of reducing our interest-earning assets), as well as an increase in delinquencies and classified loans (which requires us to increase our reserves for loan and leases losses and increases our collection costs).

79

Table of Contents

These increases also effectively reduce demand for loans that we would typically originate and hold for resale, thus reducing our noninterest income. If interest rates increase further, or if they remain at relatively elevated levels for prolonged periods, our borrowers may experience increasing difficulty in repaying their loans.

Increasing delinquencies has resulted in our allowance for credit losses on loans decreasing as a percentage of nonperforming loans, from 4,529% as of September 30, 2022, to 870% as of September 30, 2023. If these trends continue, or if economic conditions affecting our borrowers worsen, we may be forced to increase our provision expense, which would result in a reduction in net income for the corresponding period, or in some cases we may experience losses in excess of established reserves, which would have a similar effect. These outcomes, alone or in combination with other factors, may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We may experience impairment of certain intangible assets, which would have the effect of reducing our reported net income for the related period.

When the Company acquires another institution, we record an intangible asset based on the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the assets of the acquired business. As of September 30, 2023, we carried on our balance sheet an asset relating to goodwill of acquired businesses valued at $167.6 million. This asset represents a portion of the Company’s total assets, but it does not affect tangible assets or tangible stockholders’ equity, nor is it eligible for consideration as Tier 1 regulatory capital. Applicable accounting standards require that intangibles such as goodwill be tested at least annually to assess whether, and to what extent, the carrying value of the goodwill associated with an acquired business exceeds the “fair value” measured according to specified valuation models. During periods of declining financial performance, market conditions often require a charge to a company’s financial statements to reflect any decline in the fair value of those intangible assets. If our impairment testing were to result in a discovery that the goodwill associated with businesses the Company has previously acquired, is carried at a value higher than the measured fair value of that asset, we would be required to take a noncash charge against earnings to reflect an appropriate adjustment.

Similarly, our balance sheet at September 30, 2023, reflects a deferred tax asset having a value of $30.6 million. That asset reflects the present value of the Company’s ability to use certain tax credits and other tax benefits to offset taxable income (or taxes due thereon) recognized in future periods. The value of the Company’s deferred tax asset reflects certain assumptions, including among other things the expectation that the Company will recognize taxable income in amounts and at times in the future sufficient to result in the application of the offsetting benefits. To the extent a company’s forecasts, or a change in circumstances, reduce the likelihood that deferred tax assets can be used to the company’s benefit in future periods, the company is required to recognize an impairment charge to reflect the downward adjustment in the carrying value of those assets. As with goodwill, deferred tax assets are not included in tangible common equity or in tangible assets, nor do they affect regulatory capital measurements. However, any reduction in the carrying value of the Company’s deferred tax assets would be reflected as a noncash charge against earnings, which would reduce reported earnings for the relevant period.

​

Adverse developments affecting the banking industry, and resulting media coverage, have eroded customer confidence in the banking system and could have a material effect on the Company’s operations and/or stock price.

​

The recent high-profile bank failures of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and First Republic have generated significant market volatility among publicly traded bank holding companies. These market developments have negatively impacted customer confidence in the safety and soundness in the financial services industry. While negative publicity and public opinion appear to have diminished in recent months, we cannot offer assurances that the underlying risks have ameliorated or that adverse media stories, other bank failures, or geopolitical or market conditions will not exacerbate or continue these conditions. Partly as a result of these conditions, some community and regional bank depositors have chosen to place their deposits with larger financial institutions or to invest in higher yielding short-term fixed income securities, all of which have adversely affected, and may continue to materially adversely impact our liquidity, cost of funding, loan funding capacity, net interest margin, capital, and results of operations. In connection with high-profile bank failures, uncertainty and concern has been, and may be in the future, compounded by advances in technology that increase the speed at which deposits can be moved, as well as the speed and reach of media attention, including social media, and its ability to disseminate concerns or rumors, in each case potentially exacerbating liquidity concerns. Further, measures announced by the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) intended to reassure depositors of to the availability of their deposits may not be successful in restoring customer confidence in the banking system.

Table of Contents

​

In addition, the banking operating environment and public trading prices of banking institutions can be highly correlated, in particular during times of stress, which could adversely impact the trading prices of our common stock. Further, recent experience has shown that the effects of these events on bank stock prices can cause a much more pronounced and widespread decline in trading values than might be expected based on an individual institution’s specific risk profile.

These recent events may also result in potentially adverse changes to laws or regulations governing banks and bank holding companies or result in the impositions of restrictions through supervisory or enforcement activities, including higher capital requirements, which could have a material impact on our business. The cost of resolving the recent bank failures may prompt the FDIC to increase its premiums above the recently increased levels or to issue additional special assessments.

Rising interest rates have decreased the value of a portion of the Company’s securities portfolio, and the Company would realize losses if it were required to sell such securities to meet liquidity needs.

As a result of inflationary pressures and other general economic conditions, Federal Open Market Committee of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has rapidly and significantly increased interest rates over the last year. When interest rates increase, fixed-rate investment securities and loans held for sale tend to decline in value, because investors can often place funds in higher-yielding instruments rather than purchasing debt securities that have a yield that is lower than those earning at a newly-increased market interest rate. This sequence of events has caused a decline, and may cause a further decline, in the fair value of our securities classified as available-for-sale, resulting in both a charge against earnings to reflect the adverse impacts on securities and loans held for sale, and in unrealized losses affecting our loans and securities held to maturity. These trends can be exacerbated if the Company were required to sell such securities to meet liquidity needs, including in the event of deposit outflows or slower deposit growth.

The loss of our deposit clients or a substantial reduction in deposit balances could force us to fund our business with more expensive and less stable funding sources.

 

The composition of our deposit base, and particularly the extent to which our deposits are not federally insured, may present a heightened risk of withdrawal, particularly during periods of economic uncertainty. Our measures to mitigate the risks, including correspondent deposit relationships, may not be completely effective in reassuring customers about the safety of their deposits. Further, significant economic fluctuations, or customers’ expectations about such events (whether or not those expectations materialize) may exacerbate depositors’ sensitivity to the availability of cash to fund immediate withdrawals. If our depositors were to experience such conditions, the resulting demand for withdrawals may materially decrease the volume of our deposits, thus adversely impacting our liquidity. This risk is particularly significant if the FDIC or other federal banking regulators were to withdraw or revise recently announced policies assuring the availability of both insured and uninsured deposits. A reduction in liquidity, particularly if it were to occur rapidly or at excessive levels, would have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition or results of operations, and on the trading price of our common stock.
