“Although we have experienced migration from noninterest bearing to interest bearing deposits amid higher rate environment, we did not have much outflow during the quarter. We are grateful for our customers’ loyalty and the trust that they have in us. As we continue to face many headwinds, we anticipate stress on our short-term earnings. However, we believe we are well positioned to build a stronger franchise as we remain focused in maintaining the safety and soundness of our operations.”

As of March 31, 2023 vs. December 31, 2022
Total deposits were $1.90 billion as of March 31, 2023, up $19.0 million from December 31, 2022, primarily due to growth in time deposits, mostly offset by decreases in noninterest bearing deposits and money market deposits and others. Time deposits grew $166.3 million to $824.1 million from $657.9 million, due to management’s actions to support loan growth during the third quarter of 2022 including upward adjustments of interest rates on customer deposits and increases in wholesale deposits. Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $57.7 million to $643.9 million from $701.6 million, primarily due to decreases in transaction volumes in escrow and 1031 exchanges accounts and other decreases affected by market rate increases by the Federal Reserve. Money market deposits and others decreased $89.5 million to $436.8 million from $526.3 million, primarily due to market rate increases as a result of the Federal Reserve’s rate increases.
As of March 31, 2023 vs. March 31, 2022
Total deposits were $1.90 billion as of March 31, 2023, up $232.8 million from March 31, 2022, primarily driven by growth in time deposits, partially offset by a decrease in noninterest bearing deposits. Time deposits grew $457.5 million to $824.1 million from $366.6 million, primarily due to customers’ preference for high-rate deposit products driven by market rate increases as a result of the Federal Reserve’s rate increases. Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $204.6 million to $643.9 million from $848.5 million, primarily due to decreases in transaction volumes in escrow and 1031 exchanges accounts and other decreases affected by market rate increases by the Federal Reserve.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to GAAP measures, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance.
Pre-provision net revenue removes provision for credit losses and income tax expense. Management believes that this non-GAAP measure, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures (as applicable), provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance. This non-GAAP financial measure also facilitates a comparison of our performance to prior periods.

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company purchased 638 loans from Hana for a total purchase price of $97.6 million. The Company evaluated $100.0 million of the loans purchased in accordance with the provisions of ASC 310-20, Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs, which were recorded with a $8.9 million discount. As a result, the fair value discount on these loans is being accreted into interest income over the expected life of the loans using the effective yield method. Adjusted loan yield and net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022 excluded the impacts of contractual interest and discount accretion of the purchased Hana loans as management does not consider purchasing loan portfolios to be normal or recurring transactions. Management believes that presenting the adjusted average loan yield and net interest margin provide comparability to prior periods and these non-GAAP financial measures provide supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain matters set forth herein constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including forward-looking statements relating to the Company’s current business plans and expectations regarding future operating results. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those projected. These risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control, include, but are not limited to: business and economic conditions, particularly those affecting the financial services industry and our primary market areas; the continuing effects of inflation and monetary policies, and the impacts of those circumstances upon our current and prospective borrowers and depositors; our ability to mitigate and manage deposit liabilities in a manner that balances the need to meet current and expected withdrawals while investing a sufficient portion of our assets to promote strong earning capacity; our ability to successfully manage our credit risk and the sufficiency of our allowance for credit losses; factors that can impact the performance of our loan portfolio, including real estate values and liquidity in our primary market areas, the financial health of our commercial borrowers, the success of construction projects that we finance, including any loans acquired in acquisition transactions; our ability to effectively execute our strategic plan and manage our growth; interest rate fluctuations, which could have an adverse effect on our profitability; external economic and/or market factors, such as changes in monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including the interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve, inflation or deflation, changes in the demand for loans, and fluctuations in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits, which may have an adverse impact on our financial condition; continued or increasing competition from other financial institutions, credit unions, and non-bank financial services companies, many of which are subject to less restrictive or less costly regulations than we are; challenges arising from unsuccessful attempts to expand into new geographic markets, products, or services; restraints on the ability of Open Bank to pay dividends to us, which could limit our liquidity; increased capital requirements 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; a failure in the internal controls we have implemented to address the risks inherent to the business of banking; inaccuracies in our assumptions about future events, which could result in material differences between our financial projections and actual financial performance, particularly with respect to the effects of predictions of future economic conditions as those circumstances affect our estimates for the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses and the related provision expense; changes in our management personnel or our inability to retain motivate and hire qualified management personnel; disruptions, security breaches, or other adverse events, failures or interruptions in, or attacks on, our information technology systems; disruptions, security breaches, or other adverse events affecting the third-party vendors who perform several of our critical processing functions; an inability to keep pace with the rate of technological advances due to a lack of resources to invest in new technologies; risks related to potential acquisitions; political developments, uncertainties or instability, catastrophic events, acts of war or terrorism, or natural disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, drought, pandemic diseases (such as the coronavirus) or extreme weather events, any of which may affect services we use or affect our customers, employees or third parties with which we conduct business; incremental costs and obligations associated with operating as a public company; the impact of any claims or legal actions to which we may be subject, including any effect on our reputation; compliance with governmental and regulatory requirements, including the Dodd-Frank Act and others relating to banking, consumer protection, securities and tax matters, and our ability to maintain licenses required in connection with commercial mortgage origination, sale and servicing operations; changes in federal tax law or policy; and our ability the manage the foregoing and other factors set forth in the Company’s public reports. We describe these and other risks that could affect our results in Item 1A. “Risk Factors,” of our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and in our other subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
