The following table presents the components of net interest income for the periods indicated:



	Three Months Ended
($ in thousands)	3/31/2019		12/31/2018		% Change		3/31/2018		% Change
Interest income:

Net interest income	$	17,153	$	17,856	(3.9	)%	$	15,294	12.2	%

The decrease in net interest income compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to decreases in number of days and dividend on Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock, and an increase in deposit cost in the current quarter. The increase compared with the year-ago quarter was primarily due to increases in average balance and average yield of interest-earning assets, partially offset by increases in average balance and average cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

The decrease in interest and fees on loans compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to a decrease in number of days, partially offset by an increase in average loan balance. The increase compared with the year-ago quarter was primarily due to increases in both average balance and average yield of loans. The increase in average yield on loans was primarily due to the Company’s high proportion of variable rate loans that had repriced along with the rising interest rate environment in 2018. The following table presents a composition of total loans by interest rate type accompanied with the weighted-average contractual rates as of the dates indicated:



	3/31/2019				12/31/2018				3/31/2018
	% to Total Loans		Weighted-Average Contractual Rate		% to Total Loans		Weighted-Average Contractual Rate		% to Total Loans		Weighted-Average Contractual Rate
Fixed rate loans	34.6	%	5.17	%	34.4	%	5.13	%	26.8	%	5.07	%
Variable rate loans	65.4	%	6.29	%	65.6	%	6.30	%	73.2	%	5.62	%

The increases in interest on investment securities were primarily due to increases in both average balance and average yield of investment securities. The increase in average yield on investment securities was primarily due to additional purchases of investment securities during the rising rate environment. The Company purchased investment securities of $4.1 million and $44.1 million, respectively, during the current quarter and last 12-month period.

The decrease in interest and dividend on other interest-earning assets compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to decreases in dividend on FHLB stock and average balance of interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions. The increase compared with the year-ago quarter was primarily due to an increase in average balance of interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions from excess cash generated from deposit growth and initial public offering (“IPO”) completed in 2018, and higher interest rates earned on these deposits during the rising rate environment.

The increases in total interest expense were primarily due to increases in average balance and average cost of interest-bearing deposits. The increase in average cost on interest-bearing deposits was primarily due to the rising interest rate environment in 2018 and high competition in the Company’s deposit target markets.

Provision (Reversal) for Loan Losses

Provision (reversal) for loan losses was $(85) thousand for the current quarter compared with $294 thousand for the previous quarter and $95 thousand for the year-ago quarter. The Company recognized reversal for loan losses primarily due to a decrease in historical loss rates, changes in qualitative adjustment factors and a net recovery during the current quarter. The Company recorded a net recovery of $55 thousand during the current quarter compared with a net charge-off of $223 thousand for the previous quarter and a net recovery of $52 thousand for the year-ago quarter. Allowance for loan losses to total loans held-for-investment ratio was 0.98% at March 31, 2019, 0.98% at December 31, 2018, and 1.01% at March 31, 2018.

Noninterest Income

The following table presents the components of noninterest income for the periods indicated:

Total noninterest income	$	2,409	$	2,239	7.6	%	$	3,362	(28.3	)%

The increase in total noninterest income compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to increases in gain on sale of loans and loan servicing income, partially offset by decreases in other income and service charges and fees on deposits. The decrease compared with the year-ago quarter was primarily due to a decrease in gain on sale of loans, partially offset by increases in the other noninterest income components.

The decreases in gain on sale of SBA loans in the current and previous quarters compared with the year-ago quarter were primarily due to decreases in sales volume and premium rates due to the conditions in the secondary market. The Company sold the guaranteed portion of SBA loans of $21.2 million, $26.2 million and $29.9 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018. The Company also sold residential property loans of $2.4 million, $702 thousand and $1.2 million, respectively, and other real estate loans of none, $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018.

The increase in loan servicing income compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to lower loan servicing income during the previous quarter from an increase in servicing asset amortization from a higher prepayment trend.

The decrease in other income compared with previous quarter was primarily due to decreases in wire fees and a non-recurring loan referral fee income of $33 thousand during the previous quarter.

Noninterest Expense

The following table presents the components of noninterest expense for the periods indicated:



	Three Months Ended

Total noninterest expense	$	10,289	$	10,135	1.5	%	$	9,631	6.8	%

The increase in salaries and employee benefits compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to an increase in vacation accrual and a decrease in direct loan origination cost, which reduces salaries and benefits at origination, from a lower loan production during the current quarter. The increase compared with the year-ago quarter was primarily due to increases in number of employees, partially offset by a decrease in bonus accruals and a retirement bonus paid to the former chief executive officer of $192 thousand in the year-ago quarter.

The increases in occupancy and equipment in the current and previous quarters compared with the year-ago quarter was primarily due to increases in depreciation, occupancy lease, and maintenance expenses.

The increases in professional fees were primarily due to increased audit fees for the year-end process as the Company became a public company and increased professional fees for enhancement of the Bank's controls and processes on Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering compliance programs.

The decrease in market and business promotion compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to an additional expense incurred during the previous quarter for the year-end promotions and gifts for customers. The decrease compared with the year-ago quarter was due to a decrease in advertising expense.

The decreases in director fees and expenses was primarily due to a fewer number of directors during the current quarter as well as a severance payment of $68 thousand paid to the estate of former director and chairman, Kwang Jin Chung, who passed away during the previous quarter.

The increase in regulatory assessments compared with the previous quarter was due to an adjustment made for the assessment rate reduction in previous quarter. The decrease compared with the year-ago quarter was primarily due to a decrease in assessment rate, partially offset by balance sheet growth.

The decrease in other expenses compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to decreases in other loan related legal and office expenses. The increase compared with the year-ago period was primarily due to growth in operations.

The increase for the current quarter was primarily due to new accounts of $133.1 million, partially offset by closed accounts of $95.4 million and net balance decreases of $33.6 million on existing accounts.

Operating Lease Assets and Liabilities

During the current quarter, the Company adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” and all subsequent ASUs that are related to Topic 842. The Company adopted this ASU using the optional transition method with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings without restating prior financial statements for comparable amounts. As a result, the Company recognized right-of-use assets and liabilities of $9.6 million and $10.6 million, respectively, with a cumulative effect adjustment of $53 thousand to retained earnings at the date of adoption.

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity was $217.2 million at March 31, 2019, an increase of $6.9 million, or 3.3%, from $210.3 million at December 31, 2018, and an increase of $70.0 million, or 47.5%, from $147.2 million at March 31, 2018. The increase for the current quarter was primarily due to retention of earnings, partially offset by cash dividends paid on common stock. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the IPO completed in August 2018 and retention of earnings, partially offset by cash dividends paid on common stock.

On March 28, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $6.5 million of the Company’s common stock through March 27, 2020.

(1)	Total loans include both loans held-for-sale and loans held-for-investment, net of deferred loan costs (fees).


(2)	The yield on municipal bonds has not been computed on a tax-equivalent basis.


(3)	Net interest spread is calculated by subtracting average rate on interest-bearing liabilities from average yield on interest-earning assets.


(4)	Net interest margin is calculated by dividing annualized net interest income by average interest-earning assets.


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