First Quarter Operating Results
Net Income
Net income for the first quarter of 2026 was $13.8 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, compared with $16.4 million, or $0.50 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2025. Pre-tax, pre-provision income (non-GAAP1) for the first quarter was $18.7 million, an increase of $717 thousand from the prior quarter. The net income and diluted earnings per share decrease were largely driven by slightly lower net interest income, reversal of provision for credit losses and noninterest income, partially offset by lower noninterest expense.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2026 was $42.1 million, compared with $42.9 million in the prior quarter. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to a $2.4 million decrease in total interest and dividend income, partially offset by a $1.6 million decrease in total interest expense in the first quarter of 2026, as compared with the prior quarter. The decrease in net interest income was also impacted by two fewer days in the current quarter than the prior quarter. During the first quarter of 2026, loan interest income decreased by $1.8 million, including a decrease of $575 thousand in accretion from the net purchase accounting discounts on acquired loans and a reversal of nonaccrual loans’ interest income of $479 thousand, coupled with a decrease of $1.4 million in interest income from deposits in other financial institutions, partially offset by an increase of $375 thousand in total debt securities income and an increase of $367 thousand in dividend income from restricted stock investments and other bank stock. The decrease in interest income was mainly due to an ten basis point decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets and a decrease in average deposits in other financial institutions of $88.9 million, partially offset by increases in average total loans of $32.3 million, average total debt securities of $35.3 million and average Fed funds sold/resale agreements of $8.0 million. The decrease in interest expense for the first quarter of 2026 was primarily due to a $1.6 million decrease in interest expense on total interest-bearing deposits, the result of a 23 basis point decrease in the cost of average total interest-bearing deposits, coupled with a $7.4 million decrease in average total interest-bearing deposits.
Net interest margin for the first quarter of 2026 was 4.47%, compared with 4.44% in the prior quarter. The increase was primarily related to the 14 basis point decrease in the cost of funds outpacing the ten basis point decrease in the total interest-earning assets yield. The yield on total average interest-earning assets in the first quarter of 2026 was 5.72%, compared with 5.82% in the prior quarter. The yield on average total loans in the first quarter of 2026 was 6.14%, a decrease of 17 basis points from 6.31% in the prior quarter. The yield on average total loans in the first quarter of 2026 included the impact of the reversal of nonaccrual loan interest noted above, which decreased the overall loan yield by six basis points. There was no significant reversal of interest income in the prior quarter. Accretion income from the net purchase accounting discounts on acquired loans was $3.2 million, increasing the yield on average total loans by 44 basis points; the net amortization expense from the purchase accounting discounts on acquired subordinated debt and acquired time deposits premium increased the interest expense by $388 thousand, the combination of which increased the net interest margin by 30 basis points in the first quarter of 2026. In the prior quarter, accretion income from the net purchase accounting discounts on acquired loans was $3.8 million, increasing the yield on average total loans by 51 basis points; the net amortization expense from the purchase accounting discounts on acquired subordinated debt and acquired time deposits premium increased the interest expense by $389 thousand, the combination of which increased the net interest margin by 36 basis points.
Cost of funds for the first quarter of 2026 was 1.36%, a decrease of 14 basis points from 1.50% in the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by a 23 basis point decrease in the cost of average total interest-bearing deposits. The amortization expense of $388 thousand from the purchase accounting discounts on acquired subordinated debt and acquired time deposits premium contributed five basis points to the cost of funds. Average noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased $27.4 million to $1.21 billion and represented 34.95% of total average deposits for the first quarter of 2026, compared with $1.23 billion and 35.39%, respectively, in the prior quarter; average interest-bearing deposits decreased $7.4 million to $2.24 billion during the first quarter of 2026. The total cost of deposits in the first quarter of 2026 was 1.29%, compared with 1.43% in the prior quarter. The cost of total interest-bearing deposits decreased 23 basis points, driven primarily by the Company’s ongoing deposit pricing and mix strategy in the first quarter of 2026.
| 2 |
Average total borrowings increased $674 thousand to $34.4 million in the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to a $304 thousand increase in average Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances from an overnight advance and $370 thousand increase in average subordinated debt due to accretion of discounts. The average cost of total borrowings was 8.25% for the first quarter of 2026, up from 8.19% in the prior quarter.
Reversal of Provision for Credit Losses
The Company recorded a reversal of provision for credit losses of $381 thousand for the first quarter of 2026, compared with a reversal of provision for credit losses of $4.4 million in the prior quarter. The reversal of provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2026 was related to the ALL. There was no reversal of provision for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments during the first quarter of 2026. Total unfunded loan commitments increased by $38.7 million to $925.1 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $886.4 million in unfunded loan commitments at December 31, 2025.
The provision for credit losses for loans held for investment in the first quarter of 2026 was a reversal of $381 thousand, a decrease of $3.8 million from a reversal of provision for credit losses of $4.2 million in the prior quarter. The decrease was driven primarily by the changes in the reasonable and supportable forecast, primarily related to the economic outlook for California, coupled with a decrease in loan balances, changes in the portfolio mix, and changes in the qualitative factors, partially offset by an increase in the criticized loan loss rates, which are updated annually in the model, despite a decline in criticized loan balances. The Company’s management continues to monitor macroeconomic variables including changes in interest rates, uncertainty in the current economic environment, and elevated geopolitical risks related to ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. Management believes it has appropriately provisioned for the current environment.
Noninterest Income
Total noninterest income was $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of $858 thousand compared with $3.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. Other charges and fees decreased $820 thousand in the first quarter due primarily to lower income from equity investments of $181 thousand in the first quarter compared to $948 thousand in the prior quarter.
Noninterest Expense
Total noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2026 was $25.5 million, a decrease of $2.4 million from total noninterest expense of $27.9 million in the prior quarter. Salaries and employee benefits increased $136 thousand during the first quarter of 2026 to $16.6 million primarily as a result of increases in payroll taxes typically occurring in the first quarter each year, partially offset by a decrease in severance costs compared to the prior quarter. There were no similar severance costs in the current quarter. Additionally, the decrease in litigation settlements of $2.0 million in the first quarter was primarily due to the recording of non-recurring litigation settlements of $2.0 million in the prior quarter.
Efficiency ratio (non-GAAP1) for the first quarter of 2026 was 57.69%, compared with 60.80% in the prior quarter.
Income Tax
In the first quarter of 2026, the Company’s income tax expense was $5.3 million, compared with $6.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2025. The effective rate was 27.8% for the first quarter of 2026 and 26.7% for the fourth quarter of 2025. The increase in the effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2026 was primarily attributable to a lower benefit from low-income housing tax credit investments as well as lower pre-tax income paired with minimal change in other permanently non-deductible expenses.
Balance Sheet
Assets
Total assets at March 31, 2026 were $4.05 billion, an increase of $15.3 million or 0.4% from December 31, 2025. The increase in total assets from the prior quarter was primarily related to an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $11.2 million, and an increase in available-for-sale debt securities of $63.7 million, partially offset by a $62.1 million decrease in loans, including loans held for sale, as compared to the prior quarter.
| 3 |
Loans
Total loans held for investment (“LHFI”) were $2.97 billion at March 31, 2026, a decrease of $61.1 million, compared with December 31, 2025. During the first quarter of 2026, there were new originations of $98.4 million, partially offset by net paydowns of $42.3 million, loan payoffs of $108.6 million, and a loan transferred to other real estate owned (“OREO”) of $8.6 million. Total loans secured by real estate decreased by $34.7 million, of which multifamily loans decreased $51.1 million and 1-4 family residential loans decreased by $13.3 million; commercial and industrial loans decreased by $26.2 million; and other consumer loans decreased by $178 thousand. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in other commercial real estate loans of $28.2 million and construction and land development loans of $1.5 million.
The Company had $24.1 million in loans held for sale at March 31, 2026, consisting of $7.6 million SBA 7(a) loans and $16.5 million consumer solar loans, compared with $25.1 million at December 31, 2025, consisting of $7.8 million of SBA 7(a) loans and $17.3 million consumer solar loans. Loan delinquencies for loans held for sale totaled $719 thousand, including $281 thousand of SBA 7(a) loan and $298 thousand of consumer solar loans that were 30–89 days past due, and $140 thousand of consumer solar loans that were more than 90 days past due and still accruing interest. The Company recorded a $266 thousand valuation allowance related to its consumer solar loans in the first quarter of 2026.
Deposits
Total deposits at March 31, 2026 were $3.39 billion, an increase of $22.9 million from December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposits of $69.1 million, partially offset by decreases in interest-bearing non-maturity deposits of $23.9 million, non-brokered time deposits of $18.6 million, and brokered time deposits of $3.8 million. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits at March 31, 2026, were $1.25 billion, or 36.8% of total deposits, compared with $1.18 billion, or 35.0% of total deposits at December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, total interest-bearing deposits were $2.15 billion, compared with $2.19 billion at December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, the Company did not have any brokered time deposits. The Company offers the Insured Cash Sweep product and Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service, each of which provides reciprocal deposit placement services to fully qualified large customer deposits for FDIC insurance among other participating banks. Total reciprocal deposits were $723.7 million, or 21.3% of total deposits at March 31, 2026, compared with $743.6 million, or 22.1% of total deposits at December 31, 2025.
Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and Liquidity
At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no FHLB or Federal Reserve Discount Window borrowings.
At March 31, 2026, the Company had available borrowing capacity from an FHLB secured line of credit of approximately $756.7 million and available borrowing capacity from the Federal Reserve Discount Window of approximately $318.8 million. The Company also had available borrowing capacity from four unsecured credit lines from correspondent banks of approximately $90.5 million at March 31, 2026, with no outstanding borrowings. Total available borrowing capacity was $1.17 billion at March 31, 2026. Additionally, the Company had unpledged liquid securities at fair value of approximately $197.8 million and cash and cash equivalents of $411.1 million at March 31, 2026.
Asset Quality
Total non-performing assets were $39.2 million, or 0.97% of total assets at March 31, 2026, compared with $16.1 million, or 0.40% of total assets at December 31, 2025. Total non-performing loans were $30.6 million, or 1.03% of total loans held for investment at March 31, 2026, compared with $16.1 million, or 0.53% of total loans held for investment at December 31, 2025.
Total nonperforming loans increased in the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to the addition of two borrower relationships that transitioned from substandard accrual to nonaccrual. The first of these relationships consists of two commercial real estate loans with a combined net carrying value of $17.8 million at March 31, 2026. These loans are secured by a 123-acre property operated as an event venue in the Los Angeles area and were originated in 2022, with a combined 50% loan to value at origination. These two loans are classified as individually evaluated, collateral-dependent loans and no allowance was recorded at March 31, 2026. The Company is aware the borrower is working with a cash buyer to sell the event venue, in which case the loans will be paid off with the sale proceeds. Regardless of the potential sale outcome, the full repayment of these loans is anticipated, and the Company is aggressively pursuing the resolution of this matter.
| 4 |
The other relationship, which was reclassified as substandard nonaccrual, is a commercial real estate loan with a net carrying value at March 31, 2026, of $5.8 million. The collateral for this loan is located in Dana Point Calif.; the loan was originated in 2022 with an original loan to value of 56%. This loan is classified as an individually evaluated, collateral-dependent loan and no allowance was recorded at March 31, 2026, as a full repayment is anticipated.
The Company foreclosed on a property securing a construction loan for a single-family residence and transferred it to OREO, net, with an estimated “As-Is” land fair value of $9.6 million per the February 5, 2026 appraisal. No additional charge-off was required at the time of transfer based on the current “As-Is” collateral value, after accounting for estimated selling cost.
Special mention loans decreased by $18.7 million during the first quarter of 2026 to $53.7 million at March 31, 2026. The decrease in the special mention loans was due mostly to $21.0 million of loans downgraded to substandard, including $17.8 million related to the aforementioned two commercial real estate loans downgraded to substandard nonaccrual, coupled with $7.9 million in payoffs, $963 thousand in upgrades to pass rating and $861 thousand in net paydowns, partially offset by $12.0 million of loans downgraded from a pass rating.
Substandard loans increased by $11.7 million during the first quarter of 2026 to $72.4 million at March 31, 2026. The increase in the substandard loans was due primarily to $21.0 million in downgrades from special mention to substandard, and $5.8 million related to the aforementioned commercial real estate loan downgraded to substandard nonaccrual, partially offset by an $8.6 million construction loan transferred to OREO, $4.2 million in loans upgraded to a pass rating, and $2.3 million in net paydowns.
The Company had no LHFI that were over 90 days past due and still accruing interest at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Loan delinquencies (30-89 days past due, excluding nonaccrual loans) totaled $12.8 million at March 31, 2026, compared with $14.7 million in such loan delinquencies at December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to an $8.0 million multifamily loan that was repaid in full, a $5.8 million commercial real estate loan downgraded to substandard nonaccrual described above, partially offset by $8.7 million of commercial real estate loans, $2.7 million of 1-4 family residential loans with the same guarantor in common related to the OREO construction property discussed above, and $788 thousand of commercial and industrial loans that became delinquent during the first quarter of 2026.
The allowance for credit losses, which is comprised of the ALL and reserve for unfunded loan commitments, totaled $36.1 million at March 31, 2026, compared with $36.5 million at December 31, 2025. The $346 thousand decrease in the allowance for credit losses included a $381 thousand reversal of provision for credit losses for the loan portfolio, and gross recoveries of $35 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. There were no charge-offs of loans during the first quarter of 2026.
The ALL was $34.0 million, or 1.14% of total loans held for investment at March 31, 2026, compared with $34.3 million, or 1.13% at December 31, 2025.
Capital
Tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP1) at March 31, 2026 was $13.97, compared with $13.79 at December 31, 2025. In the first quarter of 2026, tangible book value was primarily impacted by net income of $13.8 million for the first quarter, and stock-based compensation activity, partially offset by an increase in net of tax unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities, and the Company’s stock repurchase program activity and cash dividends, which reduced the tangible book value per common share by $0.23 and $0.10, respectively. Other comprehensive losses related to net of tax unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities increased by $2.1 million to $3.8 million at March 31, 2026, from $1.6 million at December 31, 2025. The increase in the net of tax unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities was attributable to non-credit related factors, including a decrease in bond prices at the long end of the yield curve and the general interest rate environment, and growth in the available-for-sale debt securities. Tangible common equity (non-GAAP1) as a percentage of total tangible assets (non-GAAP1) at March 31, 2026, increased to 11.46% from 11.45% in the prior quarter, and net of tax unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities as a percentage of tangible common equity (non-GAAP1) at March 31, 2026 increased to 0.8% from 0.4% in the prior quarter.
The Company’s preliminary capital ratios exceed the minimums required to be “well-capitalized” at March 31, 2026.
Stock Repurchase Program
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company repurchased 409,915 shares of its common stock at an average price of $18.08 and a total cost of $7.4 million under the stock repurchase program. The remaining maximum number of shares authorized to be repurchased under this program was 978,157 shares at March 31, 2026.

Factors that could cause or contribute to results differing from those in or implied in the forward-looking statements include but are not limited to the impact of bank failures or other adverse developments at other banks on general investor sentiment regarding the stability and liquidity of banks; changes in real estate markets and valuations; the impact on financial markets from geopolitical conflicts; inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations and general economic conditions, either nationally or locally in the areas in which the Company conducts business; increases in competitive pressures among financial institutions and businesses offering similar products and services; general credit risks related to lending, including changes in the value of real estate or other collateral, the financial condition of borrowers, the effectiveness of our underwriting practices and the risk of fraud; higher than anticipated defaults in the Company’s loan portfolio; changes in management’s estimate of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses or the factors the Company uses to determine the allowance for credit losses; changes in demand for loans and other products and services offered by the Company; the possibility that the Company may reduce or discontinue the payment of dividends on its common stock; the possibility that the Company may discontinue, reduce or otherwise limit the level of repurchases of its common stock that it may make from time to time pursuant to its stock repurchase program; the costs and outcomes of litigation; legislative or regulatory changes or changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines; and other risk factors discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and other documents the Company may file with the SEC from time to time.
Additional information regarding these and other risks and uncertainties to which our business and future financial performance are subject is contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and other documents the Company files with the SEC from time to time.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation (Unaudited)
The following tables present a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures for: (1) efficiency ratio, (2) pre-tax pre-provision income, (3) average tangible common equity, (4) return on average assets, (5) return on average equity, (6) return on tangible common equity, (7) tangible common equity, (8) tangible assets, (9) tangible common equity to tangible asset ratio, and (10) tangible book value per common share. 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.
