April 2021 Investor Presentation MOST RECENT QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS 4 Consistent Profitability • Pre-tax pre-provision return on average assets and average equity were 2.13% and 17.65%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, and 1.96% and 16.33%, respectively, for the trailing quarter. • Expense management strategies and disciplined business practices continue to result in improved operating performance. Our efficiency ratio improved to 50.4% compared to 55.1% for the current and trailing quarters, respectively. • Mortgage origination and sale activity and PPP fee accretion continued to positively contribute to earnings. Growth to Drive Results • Well positioned balance sheet and relative stock price to capitalize on opportunities as they arise. • Organic loan growth exceeded 6% on an annualized basis for the quarter. • Actively engaged in discussions with experienced leaders in various California communities with the intent to extend our historical Northern and Central California commercial lending footprint through new loan production offices. Net Interest Income and Margin • Net interest margin (FTE) was 3.74% for Q1 2021, compared to 3.79% for Q4 2020 and 4.34% in Q1 2020. • Growth in non-interest-bearing deposits continue to drive improved funding costs where total cost of deposits was 0.06% in Q1 2021 compared to 0.19% Q1 2020. • Accretion of PPP loan fees and multifamily loan growth are poised to buoy net interest income as excess balance sheet liquidity deployment occurs in and support of net interest margin builds. Credit Quality • Continued net recoveries and improving outlook key to a $6.2MM release in loan loss reserves, at 1.73% of total loans, or 1.87% when excluding PPP loans. • Nonperforming assets to total assets held at 0.39%, and the Bank’s Criticized and Classified portfolio as a percent of total loans declined to 4.1% in Q1 20201 versus 4.4% in Q4 2020. • Net recoveries for the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2021 were $334,000 and $82,000, respectively. Diverse Deposit Base • Non-interest-bearing deposits comprise 40.3% of total deposits, and deposits form 96.8% of total liabilities. Capital and Liquidity Strength • Over a 28-year history of quarterly cash dividends with periodic increases as most recently evidenced by the increase to the equivalent to $1.00 per year paid in quarterly amounts of $0.25. • Strength in core earnings and continued market capture key to self-financed and self-funded growth. • We remain well capitalized across all regulatory capital ratios. • Active share repurchase program with demonstrated utilization.
