LA JOLLA, Calif., Oct. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Private Bancorp of America, Inc. (OTCQX: PBAM), (“Company”) and CalPrivate Bank (“Bank”) announced unaudited financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025. The Company reported net income of $9.7 million, or $1.65 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $10.4 million, or $1.77 per diluted share, in the prior quarter, and $9.5 million, or $1.63 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2024.

Rick Sowers, President and CEO of the Company and the Bank stated, “Management and the Board continue to be focused on the basics – building and expanding quality Relationships in the communities we serve.  This is demonstrated by the improvement in our core deposit franchise and our consistent, strong earnings profile. Although 2025 continues to be a slow year for loan growth due to suppressed demand, what we view as continued unreasonable market pricing, and increased non-bank competition, we are adding new Relationships across our footprint by delivering our Clients customized Solutions that meet their individual needs. Pipelines are strong going into the fourth quarter across our markets, which is encouraging.  We believe that focusing on the fundamentals and having a disciplined approach to lending and balance sheet management have served us well and we are not deviating from that strategy.”  

Sowers added, “We are excited to open our Montecito Branch this quarter and welcoming Clients into our office in the Upper Village.  Led by longtime Santa Barbara banking executive George Leis, we are hitting the ground running and looking forward to gaining market share in this important expansion for CalPrivate Bank.”

The Bank's superior financial performance and industry leading service metrics continue to be recognized by industry publications and our Clients. This recognition reinforces our strategic thinking and our dedication to excellence, innovation, delivering Client-focused banking solutions and enhancing shareholder value:

STATEMENT OF INCOME

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2025 totaled $29.3 million, a decrease of $0.8 million or 2.6% from the prior quarter and an increase of $3.6 million or 14.1% from the third quarter of 2024. The decrease from the prior quarter was due to a $0.7 million decrease in interest income, including a $1.3 million reversal of interest income for loans placed on nonaccrual during the quarter.

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2025 was 4.65%, compared to 4.94% for the prior quarter and 4.44% in the third quarter of 2024. The 29 basis point decrease in net interest margin from the prior quarter was primarily due to a lower average yield on loans, which included a 21 basis point decrease in the net interest margin due to a reversal of interest income for loans placed on nonaccrual during the quarter. The yield on interest-earning assets was 6.53% for the third quarter of 2025 compared to 6.89% for the prior quarter, and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.88% for the third quarter of 2025 compared to 2.95% in the prior quarter. The cost of total deposits was 2.02% for the third quarter of 2025 compared to 2.08% in the prior quarter. The cost of core deposits, which excludes brokered deposits, was 1.93% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to 1.94% in the prior quarter and 2.27% for the third quarter of 2024. The spot rate for total deposits was 1.91% as of September 30, 2025, compared to 2.04% at June 30, 2025.

Provision for Credit Losses

Provision expense for credit losses for the third quarter of 2025 was $1.8 million, compared to $1.3 million in the prior quarter and $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2024. The provision expense for loans HFI for the third quarter of 2025 was $1.7 million, primarily reflecting a $1.0 million increase in reserves for loans placed on nonaccrual during the quarter. In addition, there was a $0.1 million provision for unfunded commitments that was primarily driven by growth in total credit line commitment balances compared to the prior quarter. For more details, please refer to the “Asset Quality” section below.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $2.2 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $1.7 million in the prior quarter and $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2024. U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA") loan sales for the third quarter of 2025 were $17.3 million with a 9.46% average trade premium resulting in a net gain on sale of $1.0 million, compared with $9.5 million with a 10.01% average trade premium resulting in a net gain on sale of $523 thousand in the prior quarter.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $15.9 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $15.7 million in the prior quarter and $13.4 million in the third quarter of 2024. The increase in noninterest expense from the prior quarter is primarily due to higher compensation and benefits costs from continued hiring, including continuing to build a team of bankers in Montecito, California. The efficiency ratio was 50.49% for the third quarter of 2025 compared to 49.27% in the prior quarter and 49.46% in the third quarter of 2024. The modest increase in the efficiency ratio from the prior quarter reflects a decline in net interest income, primarily from the $1.3 million reversal of interest on loans placed on nonaccrual during the quarter.

The Company remains committed to making investments in the business, including technology, marketing, and staffing. Inflationary pressures and low unemployment continue to have an impact on rising wages as well as increased costs related to third party service providers, which we proactively monitor and manage.

Provision for Income Tax Expense

Provision for income tax expense was $4.1 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $4.4 million for the prior quarter. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2025 was 29.7%, compared to 29.7% in the prior quarter and 29.5% in the third quarter of 2024.

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

As of September 30, 2025, total assets were $2.58 billion, an increase of $121.6 million since June 30, 2025. The increase in assets from the prior quarter was primarily due to higher cash and due from banks, which was driven by the $121.1 million increase in core deposits. Investment securities available-for-sale (“AFS”) were $199.9 million as of September 30, 2025, an increase of $11.0 million or 5.8% since June 30, 2025, primarily as a result of new securities purchased. As of September 30, 2025, the net unrealized loss on the AFS investment securities portfolio, which is comprised mostly of US Treasury and Government Agency debt, was $7.8 million (pre-tax) compared to a loss of $9.0 million (pre-tax) as of June 30, 2025. The average duration of the Bank’s AFS portfolio is 3.5 years. The Company has no held-to-maturity securities. Loans HFI totaled $2.08 billion as of September 30, 2025, an increase of $0.5 million since June 30, 2025, primarily reflecting increases in commercial and industrial ("C&I") loan balances largely offset by decreases in commercial real estate ("CRE") loan balances.

Total deposits were $2.27 billion as of September 30, 2025, an increase of $109.5 million since June 30, 2025. During the quarter, core deposits increased by $121.1 million, which was driven by a $68.5 million increase in interest-bearing core deposits (including balances in the IntraFi ICS and CDARS programs) and a $52.6 million increase in noninterest-bearing core deposits. Noninterest-bearing deposits represent 29.8% of total core deposits. Offsetting the increase to total deposits from core deposits, brokered deposits decreased by $11.6 million since June 30, 2025. Uninsured deposits, net of collateralized and fiduciary deposit accounts, represent 51.0% of total deposits as of September 30, 2025.

As of September 30, 2025, total available liquidity was $2.3 billion or 198.6% of uninsured deposits, net of collateralized and fiduciary deposit accounts. Total available liquidity is comprised of $453 million of on-balance sheet liquidity (cash and investment securities) and $1.8 billion of unused borrowing capacity.

Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses ("ACL")

As of September 30, 2025, the allowance for loan losses was $28.8 million or 1.38% of loans HFI, compared to $28.2 million or 1.35% of loans HFI as of June 30, 2025. The increase in the coverage ratio from June 30, 2025 is due primarily to a $1.0 million increase in reserves for loans placed on nonaccrual during the quarter. Nonperforming assets were 1.79% of total assets as of September 30, 2025 compared to 0.66% as of June 30, 2025. The reserve for unfunded commitments was $1.0 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to $0.9 million as of June 30, 2025. The increase in the reserve for unfunded commitments was due to higher unfunded commitment balances. Given the credit quality of the loan portfolio, management believes we are sufficiently reserved.

At September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, classified loans were $61.9 million and $27.8 million, respectively. The September 30, 2025 classified balance consisted of 43 loans: 26 real estate secured loans totaling $39.7 million with $0.2 million of specific reserves and a 60.2% weighted-average LTV; and 17 commercial and industrial loans totaling $22.2 million with $3.0 million of specific reserves. As of September 30, 2025, classified loans included $37.7 million of nonaccrual loans, an increase of $29.9 million from June 30, 2025.

The following tables present a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures for: efficiency ratio, pretax pre-provision net revenue, average tangible common equity, and return on average tangible common equity. We believe the presentation of certain non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to assess our consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations and to assist investors in evaluating our financial results relative to our peers. These non-GAAP financial measures complement our GAAP reporting and are presented below to provide investors and others with information that we use to manage the business each period. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should be taken together with the corresponding GAAP measures and should not be considered a substitute of the GAAP measures.
