EXPLANATORY NOTE REGARDING RESTATEMENT

BayCom, a California corporation, is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2023 (“Amended Report”) to reflect a restatement of the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s original Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for that period filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 15, 2023 (the “Original Report”).

Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements

On July 18, 2023, the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors concluded that the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the interim period ended March 31, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2022, as well as for the interim periods included in that fiscal year, should no longer be relied upon because of errors related to the accounting for unrealized losses on preferred equity securities that resulted in material misstatements of noninterest income and accumulated other comprehensive income.

At the time of its purchase of the preferred equity securities for investment purposes, the Company inappropriately accounted for them as available for sale debt securities under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 320 – Investments-Debt Securities. As such, the changes in the fair value of these securities were not recorded as part of net income but rather as a component of shareholders’ equity (in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax). However, as a result of subsequent research and third-party consultation, the Company determined that the securities should instead have been accounted for under ASC Topic 321 – Investments-Equity Securities. The result of this change in classification of the preferred equity securities is that the change in the fair value of the securities each quarter should have been recorded in noninterest income on the consolidated statements of income.

As disclosed in the Original Report, the Company recorded the change, net of taxes, in the fair value of preferred equity securities totaling $145,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as part of Other Comprehensive loss, net of taxes, under ASC Topic 320 – Investments-Debt Securities rather than as part of noninterest income under ASC Topic 321 – Investments-Equity Securities. For additional information on the restatement, see Note 3 Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Amended Report.

Items Amended in this Filing

We are filing this Amended Report in order to amend the following items of the Original Report to the extent necessary to reflect the adjustments discussed above and make corresponding revisions to the financial data appearing elsewhere in the Original Report:


	•	Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements
	•	Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
	•	Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Except as indicated above, no other information in the Original Report is amended hereby. In order to preserve the nature and character of the disclosures set forth in the Original Report, except as expressly noted above, this Amended Report speaks as of the date of the filing of the Original Report, and we have not updated the disclosures in this Amended Report to speak as of a later date. All information contained in this Amended Report is subject to updating and supplementing as provided in filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing date of the Original Report. Accordingly, this Amended Report should be read in conjunction with our filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing date of the Original Report.

Control Considerations

In connection with the above, our management has reassessed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023, and we have included applicable disclosure in Part I, Item 4 herein, “Controls and Procedures.” Management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, as described in

Table of Contents

Part II, Item 49A of our Annual Report on Form 10K/A for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on July 25, 2023, resulting in the conclusion by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2023. Management has taken steps, and is continuing to take steps, to remediate this material weakness, as described under “Remediation Plan and Status” in Part I, Item 4 of this Amended Report.

(unaudited)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

BayCom Corp (the “Company”) is a bank holding company headquartered in Walnut Creek, California. United Business Bank (the “Bank”), the Company’s wholly owned banking subsidiary, is a California state-chartered bank which provides a broad range of financial services primarily to local small and mid-sized businesses, service professionals and individuals. In its 18 years of operation, the Bank has grown to 34 full-service banking branches, with 16 locations in California, two in Washington, five in Central New Mexico and 11 in Colorado. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank.

All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes normally included in annual financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. None of the reclassifications impacted consolidated net income, earnings per share or shareholders’ equity.

On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”) was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for a public company that qualifies as an “emerging growth company”, or EGC. The Company qualifies as an EGC and will remain an EGC until December 31, 2023, the last day of the Company’s fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of the Company’s initial public offering, or sooner under certain circumstances (none of which currently apply). As an EGC, we may delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Accordingly, our condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

On February 1, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of Pacific Enterprise Bancorp (“PEB”) and PEB’s wholly owned subsidiary bank, Pacific Enterprise Bank, headquartered in Irvine, California (“PEB Merger”). See “Note 4 – Acquisitions” for additional information on the PEB Merger.

NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE NOT YET EFFECTIVE AND ADOPTED ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2023

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (ASC 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the incurred loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized costs, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in certain leases. In addition, ASU 2016-13 made changes to the accounting for available for sale debt securities. One such change requires increases or decreases in credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available for sale debt securities, based on management's intent to sell the security or likelihood the Company will be required to sell the security, before recovery of the amortized cost basis. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized

(unaudited)

cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Results for the reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under ASU 2016-13 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the prospective transition approach for financial assets purchased with credit deterioration (PCD) that were previously classified as purchase credit impaired (PCI) and accounted for under Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 310-30. In accordance with the Standard, management did not reassess whether PCI assets met the criteria of PCD assets as of the date of adoption. The remaining noncredit discount (based on the adjusted amortized costs basis) will be accreted into interest income at the effective interest rate as of adoption. The Company recognized an increase in the allowance for credit loss on loans totaling $1.5 million (which included a reclassification of the net credit discounts on acquired PCI loans to the allowance for credit losses of $845,000) and an increase to the allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments of $45,000, as a cumulative effect adjustment from change in accounting policies, with a corresponding after-tax decrease to opening retained earnings of $491,000.

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses: Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. The amendment eliminates the recognition measurement guidance for troubled debt restructured ("TDR") loans, and instead requires an entity to evaluate whether a modification represents a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan in accordance with ASC Topic 310-20, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs. On a prospective basis, entities are subject to new disclosure requirements covering modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the amendment requires that an entity include in its vintage disclosures the current period-gross loan charge-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investment in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. The Company adopted these amendments on January 1, 2023 using a prospective transition method, and has thus far observed no material impact to deferred fees and costs and the related timing of net interest income recognition as a result of adoption.

See “Critical Accounting Estimates” for additional information on the Company’s allowance for credit losses methodology.

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Effective

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). The amendments in this ASU are elective and provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden of accounting for, or recognizing the effects of, reference rate reform. The amendments in this ASU provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments in this ASU may be elected through December 31, 2024 (as amended by ASU No. 2022-06 discussed below). An entity may elect the amendments in this update for an interim period with adoption methods varying based on transaction type. We have not elected to apply amendments at this time and will assess the applicability of this ASU to us as we continue to monitor guidance for reference rate reform from FASB and its impact on our financial condition and results of operations. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-04 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. The objective of the guidance in Topic 848 was to provide temporary relief during the transition period, as noted in the discussion of ASU 2020-04 above, under which the sunset provision was based on an expectation that the LIBOR would cease being published after December 31, 2021. In March 2021, the UK Financial Conduct Authority announced that the intended cessation date of certain tenors of USD LIBOR would be June 30, 2023, which is beyond the current sunset date of Topic 848. Therefore, this amendment deferred the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024.

NOTE 3 – RESTATEMENT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On July 18, 2023, the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors concluded that the Company’s previously issued unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2023 and the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, as well as for the unaudited interim periods included in that fiscal year, should no longer be relied upon because of errors related to the accounting for unrealized losses on preferred equity securities that resulted in material misstatements of noninterest income and accumulated other comprehensive income.

In addition to the below, various footnotes reflect the effects of these restatements including, but not limited to, Note 4, Acquisitions and Note 5, Investment Securities.

The tables below show the effects of the restatement on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of income, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity, and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 (in thousands, except for per share data):

At March 31, 2023, the Company held 321 investment securities, of which 192 were in an unrealized loss position for more than twelve months and 78 were in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months.

The securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2023, were evaluated to determine whether the decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis resulted from a credit loss or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the length of time and the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, the nature of the security, the underlying collateral, and the financial condition and prospects of the issuer, among other factors. This assessment also includes a determination of whether the Company intends to sell the security, or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit losses.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company expects to recover the amortized cost basis of its securities, has no present intent to sell any investment securities with unrealized losses, and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell securities with unrealized losses before recovery of their amortized cost and the decline in fair value is largely attributed to changes in interest rates and other market conditions. The issuers of these securities continue to make timely principal and interest payments. No allowances for credit losses have been recognized on investment securities available-for-sale in an unrealized loss position, as management does not believe any of the securities are impaired due to reasons of credit quality at March 31, 2023.

From time to time, the Company may extend, restructure, or otherwise modify the terms of existing loans, on a case-by-case basis, to remain competitive and retain certain customers, as well as assist other customers who may be experiencing financial difficulties. Prior to 2023, a modified loan was classified as a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) if the borrower was experiencing financial difficulties and a concession was made at the time of the modification. TDR loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status at the time of restructuring. These loans are returned to accrual status after the borrower demonstrates performance with the modified terms for a sustained period of time (generally six months) and has the capacity to continue to perform in accordance with the modified terms of the restructured debt.

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU No. 2022-02, which eliminated the accounting guidance for TDR loans while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan modifications by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The Company adopted ASU No. 2022-02 using the prospective transition method. At the date of adoption, the Company was no longer required to utilize a loan-level discounted cash flow approach for determining the allowance for certain modified loans previously classified as TDR loans. The ACL on a TDR is measured using the same method as individually evaluated loans. There was no material impact upon adopting this standard as the Company elected to not change how it measured credit losses on TDRs.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no modifications of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, there was one commercial and industrial loan modified as a TDR. The type of modification was a suspension of interest payments with principal payments designated payments-in-kind, with no change to the pre-modification and post modification amortized cost balance of $4.9 million.

The Company closely monitors the performance of modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of modification efforts. All loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that were modified during the three months ended March 31, 2023 were current in their contractual payments as of March 31, 2023. There were no commitments to lend additional amounts to borrowers with outstanding loans that are classified as TDR loans at March 31, 2023.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 the Company recorded a $125,000 charge-off for one TDR loan compared to no charge-offs for TDR loans for the three months ended March 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no TDR loans for which there was a payment default within the first 12 months of the modification. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, individually evaluated TDR loans had a related allowance of $298,000 and $393,000, respectively. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $768,000 and $759,000, respectively, of TDR loans were performing in accordance with their modified terms. Accruing TDRs are included in the loans individually evaluated as part of the calculation of the allowance for credit losses for loans.

Risk Rating System

The Company evaluates and assigns a risk grade to each loan based on certain criteria to assess the credit quality of each loan. The assignment of a risk rating is done for each individual loan. Loans are graded from inception and on a continuing basis until the debt is repaid. Any adverse or beneficial trends will trigger a review of the loan risk rating. Each loan is assigned a risk grade based on its characteristics. Loans with low to average credit risk are assigned a lower risk grade than those with higher credit risk as determined by the individual loan characteristics.

The Company’s Pass loans include loans with acceptable business or individual credit risk where the borrower’s operations, cash flow or financial condition provides evidence of low to average levels of risk.

Loans that are assigned higher risk grades are loans that exhibit the following characteristics:

Special Mention loans have potential weaknesses that deserve close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in a deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the Company’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. A Special Mention rating is a temporary rating, pending the occurrence of an event that would cause the risk rating either to improve or to be downgraded.

Loans in this category would be characterized by any of the following situations:

●

Credit that is currently protected but is potentially a weak asset;

●

Credit that is difficult to manage because of an inadequate loan agreement, the condition of and/or control over collateral, failure to obtain proper documentation, or any other deviation from product lending practices; and

●

Adverse financial trends.

Substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged. Loans classified substandard must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Substandard loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. The potential loss does not have to be recognizable in an individual credit for that credit to be risk rated Substandard. A loan can be fully and adequately secured and still be considered Substandard.

Some characteristics of Substandard loans are:

●

Inability to service debt from ordinary and recurring cash flow;

●

Chronic delinquency;

●

Reliance upon alternative sources of repayment;

●

Term loans that are granted on liberal terms because the borrower cannot service normal payments for that type of debt;

●

Repayment dependent upon the liquidation of collateral;

●

Inability to perform as agreed, but adequately protected by collateral;

●

Necessity to renegotiate payments to a non-standard level to ensure performance; and

●

The borrower is bankrupt, or for any other reason, future repayment is dependent on court action.

Doubtful loans have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified as Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, based on currently existing facts, conditions, and value, highly questionable and improbable. Doubtful loans have a high probability of loss, yet certain important and reasonably specific pending factors may work toward the strengthening of the credit.

Losses are recognized as charges to the allowance when the loan or portion of the loan is considered uncollectible or at the time of foreclosure. Recoveries on loans previously charged off are credited to the allowance for credit losses.

The balance of nonaccrual loans guaranteed by a government agency, which reduces the Company’s credit exposure, was $818,000 at March 31, 2023 compared to $839,000 at December 31, 2022. At March 31, 2023, nonaccrual loans included $483,000 of loans 30-89 days past due and $3.9 million of loans less than 30 days past due. At December 31, 2022, nonaccrual loans included $2.5 million of loans 30-89 days past due and $4.0 million of loans less than 30 days past due. At March 31, 2023, nonaccrual loans 30-89 days past due of $483,000 was comprised of six loans and the $3.9 million of loans less than 30 days past due was comprised of 14 loans. All of these loans were placed on nonaccrual due to concerns over the financial condition of the borrowers. There were no loans that were 90 days or more past due and still accruing at March 31, 2023 compared to one such loan at December 31, 2022. Interest foregone on nonaccrual loans was approximately $235,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $846,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Purchased Credit Deteriorated Loans

In connection with the Company's acquisitions, the contractual amount and timing of undiscounted principal and interest payments and the estimated amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal and interest payments were used to estimate the fair value of PCD loans at the acquisition date. The difference between these two amounts represented the nonaccretable difference. On the acquisition date, the amount by which the undiscounted expected cash flows exceed the estimated fair value of the acquired loans is the “accretable yield”. The accretable yield is then measured at each financial reporting date and represented the difference between the remaining undiscounted expected cash flows and the current carrying value of the loans. For PCD loans the accretable yield is accreted into interest income over the life of the estimated remaining cash flows. At each financial reporting date, the carrying value of each PCD loan is compared to an updated estimate of expected principal payment or recovery on each loan. To the extent that the loan carrying amount exceeds the updated expected principal payment or recovery, a provision for credit loss would be recorded as a charge to income and an allowance for credit losses for loans established.

The provision for allowance for credit losses for loans during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to replenishment of the reserve from charge-offs and a $23.3 million increase in loans. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the quantitative reserve, due to the impact of slight improvements in the national unemployment rate and national gross domestic product forecasts over the next four quarters, as compared to those used in estimating the allowance for credit losses on loans at adoption. There was no change in the determined risk level for each of the qualitative factors since adoption. The reserve for individually evaluated loans decreased from adoption as five non-accrual loans, which were fully reserved for, were charged-off during the current quarter.

The following table summarizes the amortized cost basis of individually evaluated collateral-dependent non-accrual loans by loan and collateral type at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Interest income recognized on non-accrual loans was $65,000 and $15,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

As part of the acquisition of PEB, the Company acquired certain small business loans to borrowers qualified under The California Capital Access Program for Small Business, a state guaranteed loan program sponsored by the California Pollution Control Financing Authority (“CalCAP”). PEB ceased originating loans under this loan program in 2017. Under this loan program, the borrower, CalCAP and the participating lender contributed funds to a loss reserve account that is held in a demand deposit account at the participating lender. The borrower contributions to the loss reserve account are attributed to the participating lender. Losses on qualified loans are charged to this account after approval by CalCAP. Under the program, if a loan defaults, the participating lender has immediate coverage of 100% of the loss. The participating lender must return recoveries from the borrower, less expenses, to the credit loss reserve account. The funds in the loss reserve account are the property of CalCAP; however, in the event that the participating lender leaves the program any excess funds, after all loans have been repaid or unenrolled from the program by the participating lender and provided there are no pending claims for reimbursement, the remaining excess funds are distributed to CalCAP and the participating lender based on their respective contributions to the loss reserve account. Funds contributed by the participating lender to the loss reserve account are treated as a receivable from CalCAP and evaluated for impairment quarterly. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $26.3 million of loans enrolled in this loan program. The Company had a loss reserve account of $13.7 million as of March 31, 2023.

In addition, as successor to PEB, the Company was approved by the CalCAP, in partnership with the California Air Resources Board, to originate loans to California truckers in the On-Road Heavy-Duty Vehicle Air Quality Loan Program. Under this loan program, CalCAP solely contributes funds to a loss reserve account that is held in a demand deposit account at the participating lender. Losses are handled in the same manner as described above. The funds are the property of CalCAP and are payable upon termination of the program. When the loss reserve account balance exceeds the total associated loan balance, the excess is to be remitted to CalCAP. The Company originated $481,000 of loans under this program during the three months ended March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $22.7 million of loans enrolled in this program and a loss reserve account of $6.3 million.

NOTE 9 – LEASES

The Company leased 19 branches under noncancelable operating leases as of March 31, 2023. These leases expire on various dates through 2030. The Company’s leases often have an option to renew one or more times, at the Company’s discretion, following the expiration of the initial term. If at lease inception, the Company considers the exercising of a renewal option to be reasonably certain, the Company will include the extended term in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability.

The Company uses the rate implicit in the lease whenever this rate is readily determinable. As this rate is rarely determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate at lease inception, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term.

The below maturity schedule represents the undiscounted lease payments for the five-year period and thereafter as of March 31, 2023:

NOTE 10 – GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill is determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill and other intangible assets are assessed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Core deposit intangible represents the estimated future benefit of deposits related to an acquisition and is booked separately from the related deposits and amortized over an estimated useful life of seven to ten years.

Goodwill

The Company’s policy is to assess goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis or between annual assessments if a triggering event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Impairment exists when a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill.

Changes in the Company's goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2022 were as follows:


	March 31,		December 31,
	2023		2022

NOTE 15 – EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS

Equity Incentive Plans

2017 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan

The shareholders approved the 2017 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (“2017 Plan”) in November 2017. The 2017 Plan provides for the awarding by the Company’s Board of Directors of equity incentive awards to employees and non-employee directors. An equity incentive award may be an option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock units, stock award, other stock-based award or performance award granted under the 2017 Plan. Factors considered by the Board in awarding equity incentives to officers and employees include the performance of the Company, the employee’s or officer’s job performance, the importance of his or her position, and his or her contribution to the organization’s goals for the award period. Generally, awards are restricted and have a vesting period of no longer than ten years. Subject to adjustment as provided in the 2017 Plan, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be delivered pursuant to awards granted under the 2017 Plan is 450,000. The 2017 Plan provides for an annual restricted stock grant limits to officers, employees and directors. The annual stock grant limit per person for officers and employees is the lesser of 50,000 shares or a value of $2.0 million, and per person for directors, the maximum is 25,000 shares. All unvested restricted shares outstanding vest in the event of a change in control of the Company. Awarded shares of restricted stock vest over (i) a one-year period following the date of grant, in the case of the non-employee directors, and (ii) a three-year or five-year period following the date of grant, with the initial vesting occurring on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant, in the case of the executive officers. As of March 31, 2023, a total of 57,693 shares were available for future issuance under the 2017 Plan.

2014 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan

In 2014, the shareholders approved the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”). A total of 148,962 equity incentive awards were granted under the 2014 Plan. The awards are shares of restricted stock and have a vesting period of one to five years. No future equity awards will be made from the 2014 Plan.

The Company recognizes compensation expense for the restricted stock awards based on the fair value of the shares at the award date. Total compensation expense for these plans was $250,000 and $324,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

As of March 31, 2023, there was $1.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested shares granted as restricted stock awards. The cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of approximately three years.

The following table provides the restricted stock grant activity for the periods indicated:

NOTE 17 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value including a three-level valuation hierarchy, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date reflecting assumptions that a market participant would use when pricing an asset or liability. The hierarchy uses three levels of inputs to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities as follows:

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

Level 2 – Observable prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities; prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; directly observable market inputs for substantially the full term of the asset and liability; market inputs that are not directly observable but are derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

We use fair value to measure certain assets and liabilities on a recurring basis, primarily securities available-for-sale. For assets measured at the lower of cost or fair value, the fair value measurement criteria may or may not be met during a reporting period and such measurements are therefore considered “nonrecurring” for purposes of disclosing our fair value measurements. Fair value is used on a nonrecurring basis to adjust carrying values for individually evaluated loans and other real estate owned and also to record impairment on certain assets, such as goodwill, core deposit intangible, and other long-lived assets.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the hierarchy. In such cases, the lowest level of inputs that is significant to the measurement is used to determine the hierarchy for the entire asset or liability. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized on the actual date of the event or circumstances that caused the transfer, which generally coincides with our quarterly valuation process. There were no transfers between levels during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

The following assets are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates indicated:

At March, 31, 2023, with the adoption of CECL, the one performing TDR was collectively evaluated in determining the estimated allowance for credit losses.

The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, certain loans have individual risk characteristics not consistent with a pool of loans and are individually evaluated for credit reserves. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement are typically individually evaluated. The fair value of individually evaluated loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise and liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those individually evaluated loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value which uses substantially observable data, the Company records the individually evaluated loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is less than the appraised value or the appraised value contains a significant assumption and there is no observable market price, the Company records the individually evaluated loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

The Company records foreclosed assets, or OREO, at fair value on a nonrecurring basis based on the collateral value of the property. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value which uses substantially observable data, the Company records the OREO as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is less than the appraised value or the appraised value contains a significant assumption, and there is no observable market price, the Company records the OREO as nonrecurring Level 3. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Management also incorporates assumptions regarding

market trends or other relevant factors and selling and commission costs ranging from 5% to 7%. Such adjustments and assumptions are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

NOTE 19 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lending and Letter of Credit Commitments

We operate in a highly regulated environment. From time to time, we are a party to various claims and litigation matters incidental to the conduct of our business. We are not presently party to any legal proceedings where we believe the resolution would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Nevertheless, given the nature, scope and complexity of the extensive legal and regulatory landscape applicable to our business (including laws and regulations governing consumer protection, fair lending, fair labor, privacy, information security and anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism laws), we, like all banking organizations, are subject to heightened legal and regulatory compliance and litigation risk.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various commitments to extend credit, which are not reflected in the financial statements. These commitments consist of the undisbursed balance on home equity and unsecured personal lines of credit, commercial lines of credit, including commercial real estate secured lines of credit, and of undisbursed funds on construction and development loans. The Company also issues standby letter of credit commitments, primarily for the third-party performance obligations of clients.

The following table presents a summary of commitments described above as of the dates indicated:


	March 31,		December 31,
	2023		2022
Commitments to extend credit	$	85,515	$	96,774
Standby letters of credit		878		768
Total commitments	$	86,393	$	97,542

Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. The actual liquidity needs or the credit risk that the Company will experience will be lower than the contractual amount of commitments to extend credit because a significant portion of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. The commitments are generally variable rate and include unfunded home equity lines of credit, commercial real estate construction where disbursement is made over the course of construction, commercial revolving lines of credit, and unsecured personal lines of credit. The Company’s outstanding loan commitments are made using the same underwriting standards as comparable outstanding loans. The reserve associated with these commitments included in interest payable and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets was $320,000 at March 31, 2023 and $315,000 at December 31, 2022.

Commercial Real Estate Concentrations

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, in management’s judgment, a concentration of loans existed in commercial real estate related loans. The Company’s commercial real estate loans are secured by owner-occupied and non-owner occupied commercial real estate and multifamily properties. Although management believes that loans within these concentrations have no more than the normal risk of collectability, a decline in the performance of the economy in general or a decline in real estate values in the Company’s primary market areas in particular, could have an adverse impact on collectability.

Other Assets

The Company has commitments to fund investments in LIHTC partnerships and an SBIC fund. At both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the remaining commitments to the LIHTC partnerships and the SBIC fund were approximately $2.1 million and $122,000, respectively.

Deposits

At March 31, 2023, approximately $200.9 million, or 10.4%, of the Company's deposits were derived from its top ten depositors. At December 31, 2022, approximately $215.1 million, or 11.0%, of the Company's deposits were derived from its top ten depositors. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2022, approximately $1.0 billion, or 48.7% and $1.1 billion, or 53.3%, of our total deposits were uninsured, respectively. The uninsured amounts are estimates based on the methodologies and assumptions used for United Business Bank’s regulatory reporting requirements.

Local Agency Deposits and Other Advances

In the normal course of business, the Company accepts deposits from local agencies. The Company is required to provide collateral for certain local agency deposits in the states of California, Colorado, New Mexico and Washington. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the FHLB issued letters of credit on behalf of the Company totaling $42.6 million and $40.6 million, respectively, as collateral for local agency deposits.

Executive Overview

General. BayCom is a bank holding company headquartered in Walnut Creek, California. BayCom’s wholly owned banking subsidiary, United Business Bank, provides a broad range of financial services to businesses and business owners as well as individuals through its network of 34 full-service branches, with 16 locations in California, two in Washington, five in Central New Mexico and 11 in Colorado. The Company’s business activities generally are limited to passive investment activities and oversight of its investment in the Bank. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report, including consolidated financial statements and related data, relate primarily to the Bank.

Our principal objective is to continue to increase shareholder value and generate consistent earnings growth by expanding our commercial banking franchise through both strategic acquisitions and organic growth. Since 2010, we have expanded our geographic footprint through 10 strategic acquisitions. We believe our strategy of selectively acquiring and integrating community banks has provided us with economies of scale and improved our overall franchise efficiency. Looking forward, we expect to continue to pursue strategic acquisitions and believe our targeted market areas present us with many and varied acquisition opportunities. We are also focused on continuing to grow organically and believe the metropolitan and community markets in which we operate currently provide meaningful opportunities to expand our commercial client base and increase both interest-earning assets and market share. We believe our geographic footprint, which now includes the San Francisco Bay area, the metropolitan markets of Los Angeles, California, Seattle, Washington, and Denver, Colorado, and community markets including Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Custer, Delta, and Grand counties, Colorado, provides us with access to low cost, stable core deposits in community markets that we can use to fund commercial loan growth. We strive to provide an enhanced banking experience for our clients by providing them with a comprehensive suite of sophisticated banking products and services tailored to meet their needs, while delivering the high-quality, relationship-based client service of a community bank. At March 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $2.5 billion in total assets, $2.0 billion in total loans, $2.1 billion in total deposits and $313.5 million in shareholders’ equity.

We continue to focus on growing our commercial loan portfolios through acquisitions as well as organic growth. At March 31, 2023, our $2.0 billion total loan portfolio included $497.4 million, or 24.3%, of acquired loans (all of which were recorded to their estimated fair values at the time of acquisition), and the remaining $1.5 billion, or 75.7%, consisted of loans we originated.

The profitability of our operations depends primarily on our net interest income after provision for credit losses, which is the difference between interest earned on interest earning assets and interest paid on interest bearing liabilities less provision for credit losses. Our net income is also affected by other factors, including the provision for credit losses on loans, noninterest income and noninterest expense.

On February 1, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of PEB, which was headquartered in Irvine, California. Under the terms of the merger agreement, PEB merged with and into BayCom (the “Merger”), with BayCom as the surviving corporation in the Merger. Immediately following the Merger, Pacific Enterprise Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PEB, merged with and into United Business Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BayCom (the “Bank Merger”), with the Bank as the surviving bank in the Bank Merger. For additional information, see “Note 4 – Acquisitions” contained in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 1. Financial Information” of Part I this report.

Set forth below is a discussion of the primary factors affecting our results of operations:

Net interest income. Net interest income represents interest income less interest expense. We generate interest income from interest and fees received on interest earning assets, including loans and investment securities and dividends on Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”) and Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRB”) stock we own. We incur interest expense from interest paid on interest bearing liabilities, including interest bearing deposits and borrowings. To evaluate net interest income, we measure and monitor: (i) yields on our loans and other interest earning assets; (ii) the costs of our deposits and other funding sources; (iii) our net interest margin; and (iv) the regulatory risk weighting associated with our assets. Net interest margin is calculated as the annualized net interest income divided by average interest earning assets. Because noninterest bearing sources of funds, such as noninterest bearing deposits and shareholders’ equity, also fund interest earning assets, net interest margin reflects the benefit of these noninterest bearing sources.

Table of Contents

Changes in market interest rates, the slope of the yield curve, and interest we earn on interest earning assets or pay on interest bearing liabilities, as well as the volume and types of interest earning assets, interest bearing and noninterest bearing liabilities and shareholders’ equity, usually have the largest impact on changes in our net interest spread, net interest margin and net interest income during a reporting period. Since March 2022 through the quarter ended March 31, 2023, in response to inflation, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”) has increased the target range for the federal funds rate by 475 basis points, including 50 basis points during the first quarter of 2023, to a range of 4.75% to 5.00%. Subsequent to March 31, 2023, the FOMC further increased the target range for the federal funds rate by an additional 25 basis points. The increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets during the first quarter of 2023 reflects the lagging benefit of variable rate interest-earnings assets beginning to reprice higher. We believe our balance sheet is structured to enhance our net interest margin if the FOMC continues to raise the targeted federal funds rate.

Noninterest income. Noninterest income consists of, among other things: (i) service charges on loans and deposits; (ii) gain on sale of loans; (iii) gain (loss) on equity securities; and (iv) other noninterest income. Gain on sale of loans includes income (or losses) from the sale of the guaranteed portion of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans, capitalized loan servicing rights and other related income.

Provision for credit losses. We established an allowance for credit losses by charging amounts to provision for credit losses at a level required to reflect estimated credit losses in the loan and available-for sale investment securities portfolios. For loans, management considers many factors including historical experience, types and amounts of the portfolio and adverse situations that may affect borrowers’ ability to repay, among other factors. See “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates - Allowance for Credit Losses” for a description of the manner in which the provision for credit losses is established.

For investments, the Company evaluates investment available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position to determine whether the decline in the fair value below the amortized cost basis is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Such situations may result from either a decline in the financial condition of the issuing entity or in the case of fixed interest rate investments, from rising interest rates. In making this assessment, management considers the length of time and the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, the nature of the security, the underlying collateral, and the financial condition and prospects of the issuer, among other factors. This assessment also includes a determination of whether the Company intends to sell the security, or if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit losses. If this assessment indicates a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses for available-for-sale securities is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized costs basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for available-for-sale securities is recognized in other comprehensive income. Changes in the allowance for available-for-sale securities are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss. Losses are charged against the allowance for available-for-sale securities, with a corresponding adjustment to the security's amortized cost basis, when management believes the uncollectibility of an available-for-sale security is confirmed or when either criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.

Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense includes, among other things: (i) salaries and related benefits; (ii) occupancy and equipment expense; (iii) data processing; (iv) Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and state assessments; (v) outside and professional services; (vi) other general and administrative expenses, including amortization of intangible assets. Salaries and related benefits include compensation, employee benefits and employment tax expenses for our personnel. Occupancy expense includes depreciation expense on our owned properties, lease expense on our leased properties and other occupancy-related expenses. Data processing expense includes data fees paid to our third-party data processing system provider and other data service providers. FDIC and state assessments expense represents the assessments that we pay to the FDIC for deposit insurance and other regulatory costs to various states. Outside and professional fees include legal, accounting, consulting and other outsourcing arrangements. Amortization of intangibles represents the amortization of our core deposit intangible from various acquisitions. Other general and administrative expenses include expenses associated with travel, meals, training, supplies and postage. Noninterest expenses generally increase as we grow our business. Noninterest expenses have increased significantly over the past few years as we have grown through acquisitions and organically, and as we have built out our operational infrastructure.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. In doing so, we have to make estimates and assumptions. Our critical accounting estimates are those estimates that involve a significant level of uncertainty at the time the estimate was made, and changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from our estimates. We base our estimates on past experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. We have reviewed our critical accounting estimates with the audit committee of our Board of Directors. Our critical accounting estimates are described in detail in the Critical Accounting Estimates section of our 2022 Annual Report. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2022, except for the following:

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-03 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (ASC 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the incurred loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized costs, including loan receivables. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in certain leases. In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accounting for available for sale debt securities. One such change is to require increases or decreases in credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available for sale debt securities, based on management's intent to sell the security or likelihood the Company will be required to sell the security, before recovery of the amortized cost basis.

Allowance for credit loan losses for investment securities available-for-sale. The Company evaluates investment available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position to determine whether the decline in the fair value below the amortized cost basis (impairment) is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Impairment may result from either a decline in the financial condition of the issuing entity or in the case of fixed interest rate investments, from rising interest rates. In making this assessment, management considers the length of time and the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, the nature of the security, the underlying collateral, and the financial condition and prospects of the issuer, among other factors. This assessment also includes a determination of whether the Company intends to sell the security, or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit losses.

Any impairment that is not credit related is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. Credit-related impairment is recognized as an allowance for credit losses on the balance sheet, limited to the amount by which the amortized cost basis exceeds the fair value, with a corresponding adjustment to earnings. Changes in the allowance for available-for-sale securities are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss. However, if the uncollectibility of an available-for-sale security is confirmed or if the Company intends to sell an impaired available for sale debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell such a security before recovering its amortized cost basis, the entire impairment amount is recognized in earnings with a corresponding adjustment to the security's amortized cost basis.

Allowance for credit losses for loans. The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) for loans is the combination of the allowance for credit losses for loans and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments. The allowance for credit losses for loans is reported as a reduction of the amortized cost basis of loans, while the reserve for unfunded loan commitments is included within "Interest payable and other liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheets. The amortized cost basis of loans does not include accrued interest receivable, which is included in "Interest receivable and other assets" on the consolidated balance sheets. The "Provision for credit losses" on the consolidated statements of income (loss) is a combination of the provision for credit losses for loans, the provision for unfunded loan commitments, and the provision for investment securities available-for-sale.

Under the CECL methodology, expected credit losses reflect losses over the remaining contractual life of an asset, considering the effect of prepayments and available information about the collectability of cash flows, including

Table of Contents

information about relevant historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future events and circumstances. Thus, the CECL methodology incorporates a broad range of information in developing credit loss estimates. The CECL methodology could result in significant changes to both the timing and amounts of provision for credit losses and the allowance as compared to historical periods. Loans that are deemed to be uncollectable are charged off and deducted from the allowance. The provision for credit losses and recoveries on loans previously charged off are added to the allowance. Regardless of the determination that a charge-off is appropriate for financial accounting purposes, the Company manages its loan portfolio by continually monitoring, where possible, a borrower's ability to pay through the collection of financial information, delinquency status, borrower discussion and the encouragement to repay in accordance with the original contract or modified terms, if appropriate.

The allowance for credit losses for loans is comprised of an individually evaluated component for loans that no longer share similar risk characteristics with other loans and a pooled loans component for loans that share similar risk characteristics.

A loan with an outstanding balance greater than $100,000 is individually evaluated for expected credit loss when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms of the agreement. We select loans for individual assessment on an ongoing basis using certain criteria such as payment performance, borrower reported and forecasted financial results, and other external factors when appropriate. Loans that do not share the same risk characteristics as pooled loans are evaluated individually for credit loss and generally include all non-accrual loans, collateral dependent loans, and certain troubled debt restructured loans. We measure the current expected credit loss of an individually evaluated loan based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral, adjusted for costs to sell when applicable, or if the loan is not collateral-dependent we utilize the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. A loan for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, is considered to be a troubled debt restructuring (TDR). The ACL on a TDR is measured using the same method as individually evaluated loans. When the value of a concession is measured using the discounted cash flow method, the ACL is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the original interest rate of the loan. To the extent a loan balance exceeds the estimated collectable value, a reserve or charge-off is recorded depending upon either the certainty of the estimate of loss or the fair value of the loan’s collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent.

Our CECL methodology for the pooled loans component includes both quantitative and qualitative loss factors which are applied to our population of loans and assessed at a pool level. The quantitative CECL model estimates credit losses by applying pool-specific probability of default ("PD") and loss given default ("LGD") rates to the expected exposure at default ("EAD") over the contractual life of loans. The qualitative component considers internal and external risk factors that may not be adequately assessed in the quantitative model. Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments and curtailments, when appropriate. The pooled loans' contractual loan terms exclude extensions, renewals, and modifications. To estimate future prepayments by loan pool, we use our actual historical loan prepayment experience over a trailing time period, adjusted for forecasted economic conditions, to estimate future prepayments by loan pool. To estimate curtailment by loan pool we use our actual historical loan curtailment experience over a trailing time period, adjusted for forecasted economic conditions. Where observations in either case may be insufficient, the global rate, which is simply the aggregate performance of all loan segments of the Bank, is used.

The ACL model utilizes a discounted cash flow ("DCF") method to measure the expected credit losses on loans collectively evaluated that are sub-segmented by loan pools with similar credit risk characteristics, which generally correspond to federal regulatory reporting codes (i.e, Call codes), with PCD assets pooled separately by similar loan pools to evaluate and measure the allowance for credit loss:

●

Loans secured by real estate:

1-4 family residential construction loans and other construction loans and all land development and other land loans

Secured by farmland and finance agricultural production and other loans to farmers

Revolving, open-end loans secured by 1-4 family residential properties extended under lines of credit and closed-end loans secured by 1-4 family residential properties, secured by junior liens

Table of Contents

Closed-end loans secured by 1-4 family residential properties, secured by first liens

Secured by multifamily (5 or more units) residential properties

●

Commercial and industrial loans

●

Loans to individuals for household, family and other personal expenditures (i.e., consumer loans)

●

Paycheck Protection Program loans (which are fully government guaranteed)

In determining the PD for each pooled segment, the Bank utilized regression analyses to identify certain economic drivers that were considered highly correlated to historical Bank or peer loan default experience. The regression models developed correlates macroeconomic variables to historical credit performance based on call report data over a 64 quarter (16-year) period which captures a full economic cycle from 2004 to 2019. We elected to exclude historical data from 2020 - 2021 to assess the quantitative expected credit losses because we believe said period is an outlier and did not represent normal economic behavior considering the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown with changes in macroeconomic variables and the significant levels of government relief programs in place during that period. For all segments, the Company's actual loss history was not statistically relevant, thus the loss history of peers, defined as commercial financial institutions with asset size of one to five billion, domiciled in California, with similar concentrations of lending were utilized to determine loss rates. The peers utilized in the ACL are segment specific. Additionally, management chose the national unemployment rate and U.S. gross domestic product as the primary economic forecast drivers for all segments. A third party provides LGD estimates for each segment based on a banking industry Frye-Jacobs Risk Index approach.

In its loss forecasting framework, the Company incorporates forward-looking information through the use of macroeconomic scenarios applied over the forecasted life of the assets. The quantitative CECL model applies the projected rates based on the economic forecasts for the four quarter (one-year) reasonable and supportable forecast horizon to EAD to estimate defaulted loans. The economic data is updated quarterly, which is based on Federal Reserve Economic Data (“FRED”) forecasts. Historical LGD rates are applied to estimated defaulted loans to determine estimated credit losses. For periods beyond the forecast horizon, the economic factors revert to historical averages on a straight-line basis over 8 quarters (two-year) period. Subsequent to the reversion period for the remaining contractual life of loans and leases, the PD, LGD, and prepayment rates are based on historical experience during a full economic cycle.

Management considers whether adjustments to the quantitative portion of the ACL are needed for differences in segment-specific risk characteristics or to reflect the extent to which it expects current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions to differ from the conditions that existed during the historical period included in the development of PD and LGD. Qualitative internal and external risk factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

●

Changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio

●

Changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of non-accrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans

●

Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection

●

PCD assets are assets acquired at a discount that is due, in part, to credit quality deterioration since origination which may be determined through observation of missed payments, downgrade in risk rating, deterioration of a borrower's financial trends or other observable factors including subjectivity utilized by management. PCD assets are initially recorded at fair value, by taking the sum of the present value of expected future cash flows and an allowance for credit losses, at acquisition. The allowance for credit losses for PCD assets is recorded through a gross-up of reserves on

Table of Contents

the consolidated balance sheets, while the allowance for acquired non-PCD assets, such as loans, is recorded through the provision for credit losses on the consolidated statements of income, consistent with originated loans. Subsequent to acquisition, the allowance for credit losses for PCD loans will generally follow the same forward-looking estimation, provision, and charge-off process as non-PCD acquired and originated loans.

The estimated credit losses associated with unfunded lending commitments are calculated using the same models and methodologies noted above and incorporate utilization assumptions at the estimated time of default. While the provision for credit losses associated with unfunded commitments is included in "provision for credit losses" on the consolidated statement of income, the reserve for unfunded commitments is maintained on the consolidated balance sheet in "Interest payable and other liabilities".

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022

Total assets. Total assets increased $34.7 million, or 1.4%, to $2.5 billion at March 31, 2023, from December 31, 2022. The increase primarily was due to loans receivable, net, increasing $21.9 million as a result of the new loan originations, partially offset by loan repayments and sales during the period. In addition, cash and cash equivalents increased $20.7 million, or 11.7%, partially offset by decreases in investment securities available-for-sale of $2.5 million or 1.5%, loans held for sale of $2.4 million or 100.0%, and other assets of $1.7 million or 3.7%.

Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased $20.7 million, or 11.7%, to $197.5 million, at March 31, 2023, from $176.8 million at December 31, 2022. The increase primarily was due to $18.9 million increase in federal funds sold and interest bearing balances in banks during three months ended March 31, 2023.

Investment securities available-for-sale. Investment debt securities available-for-sale, decreased $1.6 million, or 1.0%, to $152.4 million at March 31, 2023 from $154.0 million at December 31, 2022. The decrease primarily was due to unrealized losses on investment debt securities available-for-sale of $1.8 million due to fair value adjustments and the routine amortization and repayment of investment principal balances and securities called and matured of $1.2 million, partially offset by the purchase of $1.5 million of investment securities during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Equity securities. Equity securities decreased $923,000, or 6.7% to $12.8 million at March 31, 2023 from $13.8 million at December 31, 2022, primarily due to a $896,000 mark-to-market downward adjustment recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Loans receivable, net. We originate a wide variety of loans with a focus on commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans and commercial and industrial loans. Loans receivable, net increased $21.9 million, or 1.1%, to $2.0 billion at March 31, 2023 from December 31, 2022. The increase was due to $85.1 million of new loan originations, partially offset by $56.3 million of loan repayments, including $5.1 million in Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan repayments, and $6.3 million in loan sales.

Nonperforming assets and loans. Nonperforming assets generally consists of nonaccrual loans, accruing loans that are 90 days or more past due and other real estate owned (“OREO”). Nonperforming loans generally consists of nonaccrual loans and accruing loans that are 90 days or more past due. Nonperforming assets decreased $2.1 million, or 14.0%, to $13.1 million, or 0.51% of total assets at March 31, 2023 from $15.2 million, or 0.61% of total assets at December 31, 2022. The decrease in nonperforming assets from December 31, 2022 was primarily due to the renewal of one loan during the current quarter totaling $934,000 that was 90 days or more past due and in the process of collection at December 31, 2022, and the charge-off of five non-accrual loans totaling $330,000 during the current quarter. There were no accruing loans 90 days or more past due and $21,000 of OREO at March 31, 2023, compared to $934,000 of accruing loans 90 days or more past due and $21,000 of OREO at December 31, 2022.

Nonperforming loans totaled $13.1 million, or 0.64% of total loans, of which $818,000 were guaranteed by governmental agencies at March 31, 2023, compared to $15.2 million or 0.75% of total loans, of which $839,000 were guaranteed by governmental agencies at December 31, 2022. Included in nonperforming loans at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, were $768,000 and $759,000, respectively, of TDR loans.

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, nonaccrual loans included $483,000 and $2.5 million of loans 30-89 days past due and $3.9 million and $4.0 million of loans less than 30 days past due, respectively. At March 31, 2023, the $3.9 million of loans less than 30 days past due was comprised of 14 loans all of which were placed on nonaccrual due to concerns over the financial condition of the borrowers.

In general, loans are placed on nonaccrual status after being contractually delinquent for more than 90 days, or earlier, if management believes full collection of future principal and interest on a timely basis is unlikely. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest accrued but not received is charged against interest income. When the ability to fully collect nonaccrual loan principal is in doubt, cash payments received are applied against the principal balance of the loan until such time as full collection of the remaining recorded balance is expected. Interest received on such loans is recognized as interest income when received. A nonaccrual loan is restored to an accrual basis when principal and interest payments are paid current, and full payment of principal and interest is probable. Loans that are well secured and in the process of collection will remain on accrual status.

Loans may be acquired at a premium or discount to par value, in which case the premium is amortized (subtracted from) or accreted (added to) interest income over the remaining life of the loan. Generally, as time goes on, the effects of loan discount accretion and loan premium amortization decrease as the purchased loans mature or pay off early. Upon the early pay off of a loan, any remaining (unaccreted) discount or (unamortized) premium is immediately taken into interest income; as loan payoffs may vary significantly from quarter to quarter, so may the impact of discount accretion and premium amortization on interest income.

Troubled Loan Modifications. Occasionally, the Company offers modifications of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty by providing principal forgiveness, interest rate reductions, other-than-insignificant payment delays, term extensions or any combination of these. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount of the forgiveness is charged-off against the allowance for credit losses for loans. Upon the Company’s determination that a modified loan (or portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or a portion of the loan) is charged off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses for loans is adjusted by the same amount.

Loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty as of March 31, 2023 totaled $6.1 million, of which $768,000 were accruing and performing according to their modified terms, compared to $6.3 million, of which $759,000 were accruing and performing according to their modified terms at December 31, 2022. Modified loans that are accruing and performing according to their modified terms are not considered nonperforming loans as they continue to accrue interest despite their modified status. The related allowance for credit losses on individually evaluated modified loans totaled $298,000 and $393,000 at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Allowance for credit losses for loans and unfunded commitments. The allowance for credit losses for loans is maintained to cover losses that are estimated in accordance with GAAP. It is our estimate of credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio at each balance sheet date. Our methodology for analyzing the allowance for credit losses for loans consists of general and specific components. For the general component, we stratify the loan portfolio into homogeneous groups of loans that possess similar loss potential characteristics and apply a loss ratio to these groups of loans to estimate the credit losses in the loan portfolio. We use both historical loss ratios and qualitative loss factors assigned to major loan collateral types to establish general component loss allocations. Qualitative loss factors are based on management’s judgment of company, market, industry or business specific data and external economic indicators, which may not yet be reflected in the historical loss ratios, and that could impact our loan portfolio. Management and the Board of Directors set and adjust qualitative loss factors by regularly reviewing changes in underlying loan composition and the seasonality of specific portfolios. Management and the Board of Directors also consider credit quality and trends relating to delinquency, nonperforming and classified loans within our loan portfolio when evaluating qualitative loss factors. Additionally, management and the Board of Directors adjust qualitative factors to account for the potential impact of external economic factors, including the unemployment rate, vacancy rates, capitalization rates, commodity prices and other pertinent economic data specific to our primary market area and lending portfolios.

For the specific component, the allowance for credit losses for loans is established for individually evaluated loans. Management evaluates current information and events regarding a borrower’s ability to repay its obligations and considers a loan to be impaired when the ultimate collectability of amounts due, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, is in doubt. If an individually evaluated loan is collateral-dependent, the fair value of the collateral, less the estimated cost to sell, is used to determine the amount of impairment. If an individually evaluated loan is not collateral-dependent, the impairment amount is determined using the negative difference, if any, between the estimated discounted

Table of Contents

cash flows and the loan amount due. For individually evaluated loans, the amount of the impairment can be adjusted, based on current data, until such time as the actual basis is established by acquisition of the collateral or until the basis is collected. Impairment losses are reflected in the allowance for credit losses for loans through a charge to the provision for credit losses. Subsequent recoveries are credited to the allowance for credit losses for loans. Cash receipts for accruing loans are applied to principal and interest under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Cash receipts on non-accrual loans for which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are applied first to principal.

Estimated credit losses for unfunded loan commitments are calculated using the same models and methodologies noted above and incorporate utilization assumptions at the estimated time of default. While the provision for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments is included in "provision for (reversal of) credit losses" on the consolidated statement of income, the reserve for unfunded loan commitments is maintained on the consolidated balance sheet in interest payable and other liabilities.

The Company adopted the Current Expected Credit Losses ("CECL") standard as of December 15, 2022, which resulted in a one-time day one 2023 adjustment to the allowance for credit losses for loans of $1.5 million (which included the reclassification of the net credit discount on acquired PCD loans totaling $845,000) and an allowance for unfunded credit commitments of $45,000, as well as an after-tax decrease to opening retained earnings of $491,000.

At March 31, 2023, the Company’s allowance for credit losses for loans was $20.4 million under the CECL framework, or 1.0% of total loans, compared to $18.9 million under the ALLL framework, or 0.94% of total loans, at December 31, 2022. In addition to the CECL adjustment at the beginning of the current quarter, a $275,000 provision for credit losses for loans was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $7,000 provision for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The provision for credit losses for loans for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily resulted from $315,000 in net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2023, coupled with new loan production and, to a lesser extent, a deterioration in forecasted economic conditions and indicators utilized to estimate credit losses. We recorded net charge-offs of $315,000 and $7,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The calculation of the allowance for credit losses for loans at both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 excludes the balance of PPP loans held in portfolio as of those dates as PPP loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA.

In accordance with acquisition accounting, loans acquired from acquisitions were recorded at their estimated fair value, which resulted in a net discount to the loans’ contractual amounts. Credit discounts are included in the determination of fair value and as a result, no allowance for credit losses for loans is recorded for acquired loans at the acquisition date. However, the allowance for credit loss includes an estimate for credit deterioration of acquired loans that occurs after the date of acquisition, which is included in the credit loss provision in the period that the deterioration occurred. The discount recorded on the acquired loans is not reflected in the allowance for credit losses for loans or related allowance coverage ratios. As of March 31, 2023, acquired loans net of their discount, totaled $247.9 million and the remaining net discount on these acquired loans was $371,000, compared to $257.4 million of acquired loans and $522,000 of net discounts at December 31, 2022. The net discount includes a credit discount based on estimated losses in the acquired loans partially offset by a premium, if any, based market interest rates on the date of acquisition.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company individually evaluated $13.9 million in loans, inclusive of $13.1 million of nonperforming loans and $768,000 of performing (accruing) TDR loans. Of the individually evaluated loans, only $1.4 million had a specific allowance, of $817,000, as of March 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, the Company individually evaluated $15.0 million in loans, inclusive of $14.3 million of nonperforming loans and $759,000 of performing (accruing) TDR loans. Of these nonperforming loans, only $1.4 million had a specific allowance, of $1.2 million, as of December 31, 2022.

Management considers the allowance for credit losses for loans at March 31, 2023 to be adequate to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio based on the assessment of the above-mentioned factors affecting the loan portfolio. While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future losses will not exceed the amount of the established allowance for credit losses for loans or that any increased allowance for credit losses for loans that may be required will not adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. A further decline in national and local economic conditions as a result of unemployment levels, labor shortages and the effects of inflation, a potential recession, the failure of the U.S. Congress to increase the debt ceiling, or slowed economic growth caused by increasing political instability from acts of war including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, as well as increasing prices and supply chain disruptions, and any governmental or societal responses to recent bank failures or new COVID- 19 variants, among other factors, could result in a material increase in the allowance for credit losses for loans and may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of our allowance for credit losses for loans is subject to review by

bank regulators, as part of the routine examination process, which may result in additions to our provision for credit losses based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

Deposits. Deposits are our primary source of funding and consist of core deposits from the communities served by our branch and office locations. We offer a variety of deposit accounts with a competitive range of interest rates and terms to both consumers and businesses. Deposits include interest bearing and noninterest bearing demand accounts, savings, money market, certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts. These accounts earn interest at rates established by management based on competitive market factors, management’s desire to increase certain product types or maturities, and in keeping with our asset/liability, liquidity and profitability objectives. Competitive products, competitive pricing and high touch client service are important to attracting and retaining these deposits.

Total deposits increased $42.3 million, or 2.0%, to $2.1 billion at March 31, 2023 from December 31, 2022. At March 31, 2023, noninterest bearing demand deposits totaled $705.9 million, or 33.2% of total deposits, compared to $773.3 million, or 37.1% of total deposits, at December 31, 2022. At March 31, 2023, uninsured deposits totaled $1.0 billion, compared to $1.1 billion at December 31, 2022.

Although deposits are our primary source of funds, we may from time to time utilize borrowings as a cost-effective source of funds when they can be invested at a positive interest rate spread, for additional capacity to fund loan demand, or to meet our asset/liability management goals. We are a member of and may obtain advances from the FHLB of San Francisco, which is part of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. The eleven regional Federal Home Loan Banks provide a central credit facility for their member institutions. These advances are provided upon the security of certain of our mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities. These advances may be made pursuant to several different credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate, range of maturities and call features.

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had the ability to borrow up to $506.2 million and $473.6 million, respectively, from the FHLB of San Francisco. At both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no FHLB advances or FRB borrowings outstanding.

We may also utilize Fed Funds purchased from correspondent banks as a source of short-term funding. At both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had a total of $65.0 million in federal funds line available from third-party financial institutions and no balances outstanding at these dates.

At both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had outstanding junior subordinated debt, net of mark-to-market adjustments, related to junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures assumed in connection with its previous acquisitions totaling $8.5 million.

At March 31, 2023, the Company had outstanding subordinated debt, net of costs to issue, totaling $63.8 million compared to $63.7 million at December 31, 2022.

We are required to provide collateral for certain local agency deposits. At both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the FHLB of San Francisco had issued a letters of credit on behalf of the Bank totaling $42.6 million and $40.6 million, respectively, as collateral for local agency deposits.

Shareholders’ equity. Shareholders’ equity decreased $3.7 million, to $313.5 million at March 31, 2023 from $317.1 million at December 31, 2022. The decrease in shareholders’ equity primarily was due to the repurchase of $8.1 million of Company common stock and $1.3 million of accrued cash dividends payable for the quarter. In addition, shareholder’s equity was impacted by the adoption of CECL in the first quarter of 2023, which as of January 1, 2023, resulted in an after-tax decrease to opening retained earnings of $491,000. In addition, shareholder’s equity was adversely impacted by increased unrealized losses on available for sale securities reflecting the increase in market interest rates during the current quarter, resulting in a $1.3 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company repurchased a total of 422,877 shares of its common stock at a total cost of $8.1 million, or $19.08 per share, leaving 58,915 shares available for future purchases under the current stock repurchase plan. For additional information see Part II, Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds”.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

Earnings summary. Net income was $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $1.9 million or 37.5%. The increase was the result of a $2.9 million increase in net interest income, a $1.8 million decrease in noninterest expense, partially offset by a $268,000 increase in provision for credit losses, a $1.0 million decrease in noninterest income and a $1.4 million increase in provision for income taxes. Diluted earnings per share were $0.57 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.41 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Our efficiency ratio, which is calculated by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income before provision for credit losses and noninterest income, was 61.63% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 73.33% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The improvement in the efficiency ratio during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was due to lower noninterest expenses and higher revenues.

Interest income. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $30.1 million, compared to $24.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $5.3 million or 21.2%. The increase in interest income between periods reflects increases in interest income in all interest-earning asset categories, with the largest increases from loans, fed funds sold and interest bearing balances in banks and, to a lesser extent, investment securities available-for-sale. Increased yields earned on these portfolios, along with an increase in the average balance of loans, were the primary drivers for the increase in interest income. The increase in interest income was partially offset by lower recognition of deferred loan fee income on the repayment of PPP loans.

Interest income on loans, including fees, increased $3.3 million, or 14.5%, to $26.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $22.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to a $132.8 million increase in the average loan balance and a 35 basis point increase in the average loan yield. The average yield on loans, including the accretion of the net discount and deferred PPP loan fees recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 5.24%, compared to 4.89% for the same period in 2022. Interest income on loans for three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 included $97,000 and $1.3 million, respectively, in accretion of the net discount on acquired loans and revenue from PCD loans in excess of discounts. The remaining net discount on acquired loans was $371,000 and $603,000 at March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively. Interest income on loans for three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 included $3,000 and $735,000, respectively, in fees earned related to PPP loans. As of March 31, 2023, there was a minimal amount of unrecognized deferred fees and costs. Interest income on loans for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, included $269,000 and $235,000, respectively, in fees related to prepayment penalties.

Interest income on investment securities increased $243,000, or 17.4%, to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, due to a 37 basis point increase in the average yield earned on and a $9.1 million increase in the average balance of investment securities. The average yield on investment securities was 3.15% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 3.15% for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Interest income on federal funds sold and interest-bearing balances in banks increased $1.6 million, or 766.7%, to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $211,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, due to a 434 basis point increase in the average yield earned on federal funds sold and interest-bearing balances in

banks, partially offset by a $233.8 million decrease in the average balance of federal funds sold and interest-bearing balances in banks. The average yield on federal funds sold and interest-bearing balances in banks was 4.56% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 0.22% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. In addition, during the first quarter of 2023, we received $332,000 in cash dividends on our FRB and FHLB stock, up 23.0% from $270,000 in the first quarter of 2022.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased $2.3 million, or 95.7%, to $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily as a result of an increase in the average cost of deposits. Total average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $106.2 million, or 6.9%, to $1.4 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $1.5 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities for three months ended March 31, 2023 was 1.35% compared to 0.64% for three months ended March 31, 2022.

Interest expense on deposits increased $2.2 million, or 151.68%, to $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase primarily was due to an increase in the average cost of deposits. The average rate paid on interest bearing deposits increased by 69 basis points to 1.10% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 0.41% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The overall average cost of deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was 0.71% and 0.27%, respectively. The average balance of deposits totaled $2.1 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $2.2 billion for the same period in 2022. The average balance of noninterest bearing deposits decreased $16.6 million, or 2.2%, to $742.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $2.3 million for the same period in 2022.

Interest expense on borrowings increased $117,000, or 11.9%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $982,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The average balance of borrowings increased $972,000 to $72.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $72.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The average cost of borrowings increased to 6.05% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 5.53% for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Net interest income and net interest margin. Net interest income increased $2.9 million, or 13.0%, to $25.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $22.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in net interest income primarily was due to increases in interest income on loans, cash and cash equivalents and, to a lesser extent, investment securities, including dividends on FRB and FHLB stock, partially offset by higher funding costs related to increase market rates of interest on our deposits and junior subordinated debt.

The average yield (annualized) on interest earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 5.07%, a 104 basis point increase from 4.03% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to higher market interest rates, while the average cost of interest bearing liabilities was 1.35% and 0.64% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The annualized net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 4.26%, compared to 3.63% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in net interest margin reflects the increased net interest income resulting from an improved mix of interest-earning assets, including increased balances of higher yielding loans and investment securities available for sale, and a lower average balance of interest earning assets. The average yield on PPP loans for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 1.17%, including the recognition of deferred fees, resulting in no impact to the net interest margin during the first quarter of 2023, compared to an average yield of 5.89% with a positive impact to the net interest margin of eight basis points during the same quarter in 2022. The impact of PPP loans on net interest margin will change during any period based on the volume of prepayments or amounts forgiven by the SBA as certain criteria are met, but will cease completely after the maturity of the loans. Accretion of acquisition accounting discounts on loans and the recognition of revenue from acquired loans in excess of discounts increased our net interest margin by seven basis points during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 29 basis points during the three months ended March 31, 2022, respectively.

Rate/Volume Analysis. Increases and decreases in interest income and interest expense result from changes in average balances (volume) of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, as well as changes in weighted average interest rates. The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income during the periods shown. Information is provided with respect to (i) effects on interest income attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate) and (ii) effects on interest income attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). Changes applicable to both volume and rate have been allocated to volume.

Provision for credit losses. We recorded a $275,000 provision for credit losses for loans for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to a $7,000 provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The provision for credit losses for loans in the first quarter of 2023 was primarily due to new loan production and, to a lesser extent, a deterioration in forecasted economic conditions and indicators utilized to estimate credit losses and $315,000 in net charge-offs during the first quarter of 2023.

Noninterest income. Noninterest income decreased $1.0 million, or 40.67%, to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to the recognition of $1.6 million in bargain purchase gain in the first quarter of 2022 with no similar activity in the current quarter 2023, a $725,000 decrease in gain on sale of loans due to a decrease in the volume and premiums observed on SBA loans (guaranteed portion) sold, a $896,000 million mark-to-market downward adjustment for equity securities, net, and a $164,000 decrease in income from an investment in a Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) fund, partially offset by a $255,000 increase in servicing charges and other fees.

Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense decreased $1.8 million, or 10.0%, to $16.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $18.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease primarily was due to the absence of $3.1 million of nonrecurring expenses related to our acquisition of PEB and its bank subsidiary, Pacific Enterprise Bank, in February, 2022, which were comprised of $555,000 in salary and employee benefits, $1.1 million in data processing expenses, $725,000 in professional and legal fees, $375,000 in occupancy expense, and $347,000 in other expenses.

Excluding the acquisition-related expenses, noninterest expenses for the first quarter of 2023 increased $1.2 million, compared to the first quarter of 2022. The increase was comprised of higher salaries and employee benefits of $1.3 million and higher data processing expenses of $265,000, partially offset by decreases in miscellaneous expense of $280,000. Salaries and employee benefits for the first quarter of 2023 increased compared to the same quarter in 2022 primarily due an increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees, reflecting our acquisition of PEB, coupled with retention incentives and salary adjustments due to upward market pressure on wages in 2022.

Income taxes. The provision for income taxes increased $1.4 million, or 97.8%, to $2.8 million the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company’s effective tax rate was 28.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 23.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The effective tax rate was higher for the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same quarter a year ago due to non-taxable bargain purchase gain in the first quarter of 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Planning for our normal business liquidity needs, both expected and unexpected, is done on a daily and short-term basis through the cash management function. On a longer-term basis, it is accomplished through the budget and strategic planning functions, with support from internal asset/liability management software model projections.

Management maintains a liquidity position that it believes will adequately provide funding for loan demand and deposit run off that may occur in the normal course of business. We rely on a number of different sources in order to meet our potential liquidity demands. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, escrow and custodial deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities and proceeds from sale of loans. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Bank sold $6.4 million in loans and loan participation interests and received $56.3 million in principal loan repayments. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, and competition.

Deposits increased $42.3 million to $2.1 billion and liquid assets, in the form of cash and cash equivalents, time deposit in banks and investment securities, increased $18.2 million to $365.0 million at March 31, 2023 from December 31, 2022. Management believes that our securities portfolio is of high quality and the securities would therefore be marketable. Securities purchased during the three months ended March 31, 2023, totaled $1.5 million and securities repayments, maturities and sales in the period were $1.2 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at March 31, 2023, totaled $307.9 million. It is management’s policy to manage deposit rates that are competitive with other local financial institutions. Based on this management strategy, we believe that most of our maturing certificates of deposit will remain with us.

In addition to these primary sources of funds, management has several secondary sources available to meet potential funding requirements. As of March 31, 2023, the Bank had an available borrowing capacity of $506.2 million with the FHLB of San Francisco, with no borrowings outstanding at that date. The Bank also had, as of that date, federal funds lines with available commitments totaling $65.0 million with four correspondent banks. There were no amounts outstanding under these facilities at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Subject to market conditions, we expect to utilize these borrowing facilities from time to time in the future to fund loan originations and deposit withdrawals, to satisfy other financial commitments, repay maturing debt and to take advantage of investment opportunities to the extent feasible.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of the Company’s management. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments, such as overnight deposits and federal funds. On a longer-term basis, a strategy is maintained of investing in various lending products and investment securities, including U.S. Government obligations and U.S. agency securities. We use our sources of funds primarily to meet our ongoing commitments, pay maturing deposits and fund withdrawals, and to fund loan commitments. Loan commitments and letters of credit were $86.4 million, including $4.5 million of undisbursed construction and development loan commitments, at March 31, 2023. For information regarding our commitments, see “Note 19 – Commitments and Contingencies” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 1. Financial Information” of Part I of this report.

Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $7.5 million, compared to $2.8 million provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in investing activities was $21.0 million, which consisted primarily of net change in loans receivable, compared to $77.5 million of cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $34.2 million, which was comprised primarily of net change in deposits, compared to $32.8 million used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Management believes the capital sources are adequate to meet all reasonably foreseeable short-term and long-term cash requirements. There has not been a material change in our liquidity and capital resources since the information disclosed in our 2022 Annual Report other than set forth above. We are not aware of any reasonably likely material changes in the mix and relative cost of such resources.

BayCom Corp is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. At March 31, 2023, BayCom Corp had liquid assets of $22.9 million. In addition to its operating expenses, BayCom Corp is responsible for

paying to its shareholders any dividends that have been declared, funding stock repurchases, and making payments on its trust-preferred securities and subordinated notes. BayCom Corp can receive dividends and other capital distributions from the Bank, although there are regulatory restrictions on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends and make other capital distributions.

On February 23, 2023, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share on the Company’s outstanding common stock, payable on April 14, 2023 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 10, 2023. The Company expects to continue to pay quarterly cash dividends on its common stock, subject to the Board of Directors’ discretion to modify or terminate this practice at any time and for any reason without prior notice. Assuming continued payment of the cash dividend at this rate of $0.10 per share, our average total dividend paid each quarter would be approximately $1.3 million based on the number of our outstanding shares at March 31, 2023. The dividends we pay if any, may be limited as more fully discussed under “Business – Supervision and Regulation – BayCom Corp – Dividends” and “– Regulatory Capital Requirements” contained in “Part I. Item 1. Business” of the 2022 Annual Report.

From time to time, our Board of Directors has authorized stock repurchase programs. In general, stock repurchases allow us to proactively manage our capital position and return excess capital to shareholders. Stock repurchases also provide us with shares of common stock necessary to satisfy obligations related to stock compensation awards. As of March 31, 2023, there remained 58,915 shares available for repurchase under the Company’s existing stock repurchase program. In April 2023, our Board of Directors announced a new stock repurchase program, to commence following completion of the existing stock repurchase program, for the repurchase of up to 619,000 shares, or approximately 5.0% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, over a one year period. Purchases under the Company’s stock repurchase programs may be made through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The repurchase programs may be suspended, terminated, or modified at any time for any reason, including market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, the availability of alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, and other factors deemed appropriate. The Company’s stock repurchase programs do not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares. For additional information on the Company’s stock repurchases, see “Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” contained in Part II of this report.

Regulatory Capital

The Bank, as a state-chartered, federally insured commercial bank, and member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System is subject to capital requirements established by the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve requires the Bank to maintain capital adequacy that generally parallels the FDIC requirements. The capital adequacy requirements are quantitative measures established by regulation that require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of capital. The FDIC requires the Bank to maintain minimum ratios of Total Capital, Tier 1 Capital, and Common Equity Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets as well as Tier 1 Leverage Capital to average assets. Consistent with our goal to operate a sound and profitable organization, our policy is for the Bank to maintain “Well Capitalized” status under the Federal Reserve regulations. Based on capital levels at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Bank was considered to be Well Capitalized.

In addition to the minimum capital ratios, the Bank has to maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional Common Equity Tier 1 capital greater than 2.5% above the required minimum levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses based on percentages of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions. At March 31, 2023, the Bank’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital exceeded the required capital conservation buffer.

For a bank holding company with less than $3.0 billion in assets, the capital guidelines apply on a bank only basis and the Federal Reserve expects the holding company’s subsidiary banks to be Well Capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations. If the Company was subject to regulatory guidelines for bank holding companies with $3.0 billion or more in assets, at March 31, 2023, the Company would have exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.

Business — Supervision and Regulation — United Business Bank — Capital Requirements” and Note 20, “Regulatory Matters” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in the 2022 Annual Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk through our lending and deposit gathering activities. Our results of operations are highly dependent upon our ability to manage interest rate risk. We consider interest rate risk to be a significant market risk that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Interest rate risk is measured and assessed on a quarterly basis. For information regarding the Company’s market risk, see “Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market and Interest Rate Risk,” in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report. In our opinion, there has not been a material change in our interest rate risk exposure since the information disclosed in our 2022 Annual Report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) was carried out as of March 31, 2023 under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and several other members of the Company’s senior management. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

The Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that based on their evaluation at March 31, 2023, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to BayCom Corp’s management, including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. This conclusion was due to a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, which was described in Part II, Item 9A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2022, and continued to exist as of March 31, 2023.

Previously Disclosed Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company disclosed in Part II, Item 9A – Controls and Procedures in its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (“Item 9A”) for the year ended December 31, 2022, that it had identified an error related to the accounting for unrealized losses on preferred equity securities that resulted in material misstatements of noninterest income and accumulated other comprehensive income.

At the time of its purchase of the preferred equity securities for investment purposes, the Company inappropriately accounted for them as available for sale debt securities under ASC Topic 320 – Investments-Debt Securities. As such, the changes in the fair value of these securities were not recorded as part of net income but rather as a component of shareholders’ equity (in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax). However, as a result of subsequent research and third-party consultation, the Company determined that the securities should instead have been accounted for under ASC Topic 321 – Investments-Equity Securities. The result of this change in classification of the preferred equity securities is that the change in the fair value of the securities for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 should have been recorded in noninterest income on the consolidated statements of income. The Company determined that this error constituted a “material weakness” in its internal control over financial reporting.

Table of Contents

Remediation Plan and Status

In response to the identified material weakness, our management, with the oversight of the audit committee of our board of directors, has begun to dedicate additional resources, including additional employee training and engagement of third-party expertise, toward improving our internal control over financial reporting. We are also in the process of redesigning and enhancing control activities related to investment security classification and review at the acquisition date.

We believe the measures described above will remediate the material weakness we have identified and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. We are committed to improving our internal control processes and will continue to review, optimize and enhance our financial reporting controls and procedures. We may also take additional measures to address control deficiencies or modify certain of the remediation measures described above. This material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes made to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls may be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by override of the control. The design of any control procedure is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

On October 24, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a sixth stock repurchase program, which commenced in December 2022 following the expiration of the fifth stock repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to five percent of its common stock, or approximately 645,000 shares. The existing stock repurchase program will expire on October 24, 2023, unless sooner completed. In April 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a seventh stock repurchase program, to commence following completion of the sixth stock repurchase program, for the repurchase of up to 619,000 shares, or approximately 5.0% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, over a one year period.

The repurchase programs may be suspended, terminated, or modified at any time for any reason, including market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, the availability of alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, and other factors deemed appropriate. The Company’s stock repurchase programs do not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares.
