Total funding is the sum of interest-bearing liabilities and noninterest-bearing deposits. The cost of total funding is calculated as annualized total interest expense divided by average total funding.

Loans. The decrease in average yield for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to a decrease in market rates. The Federal Open Market Committee decreased the Fed Funds rate by 50 bps, 25bps, and 25bps on September 18, November 7, and December 18, 2024, respectively. The increase for the current year was primarily due to increases in average interest rates on loans and net amortization of deferred loan fees, partially offset by the decrease in market interest rates during the second half of 2024.

The following table presents a composition of total loans by interest rate type accompanied with the weighted-average contractual rates as of the dates indicated:

Variable rate loans	45.3 %	7.63 %	44.1 %	8.10 %	39.8 %	8.51 %

Investment Securities. The increases in average yield for the current quarter and year compared with the same periods of 2023 were primarily due to higher yields on newly purchased investment securities and a decrease in net amortization of premium.

Other Interest-Earning Assets. The decrease in average yield for the current quarter compared with the previous and year-ago quarters was primarily due to a decrease in average interest rate on cash held at the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”), partially offset by an increase in dividends received on Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock. The increase for the current year was primarily due to increases in average interest rate on cash held at the FRB and dividends received on FHLB stock.

Interest-Bearing Deposits. The decrease in average cost for the current quarter compared with the previous was primarily due to a decrease in market rates. The increases in average cost for the current quarter and year compared with the same periods of 2023 were primarily due to increases in market rates throughout 2024.

Salaries and Employee Benefits. The decrease for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to decreases in salaries and vacation accruals and an increase in direct loan origination cost, which offsets and defers the recognition of salaries and benefits expense. The increase for the current year was primarily due to increases in salaries, bonus accrual, and incentives tied to sales of SBA loans originated at loan production offices, partially offset by a decrease in vacation accrual. The number of full-time equivalent employees was 262, 264 and 270 as of December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Occupancy and Equipment. The increases for the current quarter and year compared with the same periods of 2023 were primarily due to an expansion of headquarters location in the second half of 2023 and a relocation of a regional office and two branches into one location in Orange County, California in 2024.

Professional Fees. During the first half of 2024, the Company incurred additional professional fees related to a core system conversion, which was completed in April 2024.

Marketing and Business Promotion. The decrease for the current quarter compared with the previous and year-ago quarters were primarily due to a decrease in advertisements. The decrease for the current year compared to 2023 was primarily due to a higher, nonrecurring volume of advertisements in 2023 related to the Company’s 20th anniversary celebration.

Data processing. The decrease for the current quarter and year compared with the same periods of 2023 were primarily due to one-time new relationship credit from the core system conversion completed in April 2024.

Other Expense. The increase for the year was primarily due to a termination charge for the legacy core system of $508 thousand and an expense of $815 thousand for a reimbursement for an SBA loan guarantee previously paid by the SBA on a loan originated in 2014 that subsequently defaulted and was ultimately determined to be ineligible for the SBA guaranty during the second quarter of 2024. The Company has retained a law firm specializing in SBA recovery and intends to seek that SBA reconsider its decision so that the Company may recoup all or part of the reimbursement.

Balance Sheet (Unaudited)

Total assets were $3.06 billion at December 31, 2024, an increase of $174.1 million, or 6.0%, from $2.89 billion at September 30, 2024 and an increase of $274.5 million, or 9.8%, from $2.79 billion at December 31, 2023. The increases for the current quarter and year were primarily due to increases in loans held-for-investment and deferred tax assets.

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 326 through the application of the modified retrospective transition approach. The initial adjustment to the ACL reflected the expected lifetime credit losses associated with the composition of financial assets within the scope of ASC 326 as of January 1, 2023, as well as management’s current expectation of future economic conditions. The Company recorded a net decrease of $1.9 million to the beginning balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2023 for the cumulative effect adjustment, reflecting an initial adjustment to the ACL on loans of $1.1 million and the ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures of $1.6 million, net of related deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of $788 thousand.

The decrease for the current quarter was primarily due to principal pay-downs of $5.9 million, net premium amortization of $36 thousand, and a fair value decrease of $4.1 million, partially offset by purchases of $8.7 million. The increase for the current year was primarily due to purchases of $23.5 million, partially offset by principal pay-downs of $19.8 million, net premium amortization of $159 thousand and a fair value decrease of $541 thousand.

Series C Preferred Stock

On May 24, 2022, the Company issued 69,141 shares of Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C, liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (“Series C Preferred Stock”) for the capital investment of $69.1 million from the U.S. Treasury under the Emergency Capital Investment Program (“ECIP”). The ECIP investment is treated as tier 1 capital for regulatory capital purposes.

The Series C Preferred Stock bore no dividend for the first 24 months following the investment date. Thereafter, the dividend rate is determined quarterly based on the lending growth criteria listed in the terms of the ECIP investment with an annual dividend rate of up to 2%. After the tenth anniversary of the investment date, the dividend rate will be fixed based on the average annual amount of lending in years 2 through 10.

The Company began paying quarterly dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock at an annualized dividend rate of 2% in the second quarter of 2024. The dividends totaled $346 thousand and $834 thousand for the current quarter and year, respectively.

Capital Ratios

Historically, the Company has operated under the Federal Reserve’s Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement, which exempts bank holding companies with total consolidated assets of less than $3.0 billion from the Federal Reserve’s risk-based- and leverage consolidated capital requirements. Because the Company’s total consolidated assets exceeded $3.0 billion as December 31, 2024, the Company is now subject to the Federal Reserve’s consolidated capital requirements. A bank holding company that crosses the $3.0 billion total consolidated assets threshold as of June 30 of a particular year is no longer permitted to file Federal Reserve reports as a small holding company beginning the following March. If the Company’s total assets exceed $3.0 billion as of June 30, 2025, the Company will not be eligible to file financial reports with the Federal Reserve as a small bank holding company beginning in March 2026. The following table presents capital ratios for the Company and the Bank as of the dates indicated:
