    EVERETT, Wash., April 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coastal Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: CCB) (the “Company”), the holding company for Coastal Community Bank (the “Bank”), today reported unaudited financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. 

    Quarterly net income for the first quarter of 2023 was $12.4 million, or $0.91 per diluted common share, compared with net income of $13.1 million, or $0.96 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2022, and $6.2 million, or $0.46 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. 

    Total assets increased $306.6 million, or 9.7%, during the first quarter of 2023 to $3.45 billion, from $3.14 billion at December 31, 2022. Loan growth of $209.9 million, or 8.0%, during the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $2.84 billion, compared to $2.63 billion at December 31, 2022. Loan growth included CCBX loan growth of $153.7 million, or 15.2%, and an increase of $56.3 million, or 3.5% in community bank loans, which is net of $908,000 in PPP loan forgiveness/repayments. Deposits increased $277.7 million, or 9.9%, during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and included CCBX deposit growth of $284.5 million, or 22.2%, and a decrease in community bank deposits of $6.8 million, or 0.4%. The slight decrease in community bank deposits was a result of pricing disciplines as some customers sought higher rate products. Our cost of deposits for the community bank was 0.66% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 0.37% for the three months ended December 31, 2022.

    “The disruption from the bank failures in the first quarter of 2023 was unsettling to the broader financial services industry, but Coastal remains on solid footing with a diversified, stable deposit base. Deposits increased $277.7 million, or 9.9%, during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Fully insured IntraFi network sweep deposits increased to $94.3 million as of March 31, 2023, compared to $12.5 million as of December 31, 2022. These fully insured sweep deposits allow our larger deposit customers to fully insure their deposits through a sweep to other banks. Our liquidity position is supported by careful management of our liquid assets and liabilities as well as access to alternative sources of funds. As of March 31, 2023 we had $393.9 million in cash on the balance sheet and the capacity to borrow up to $575.1 million from Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank discount window, which we did not draw down at any point in the first quarter of 2023. Cash on the balance sheet and borrowing capacity totaled $969.0 million, which represented 31.3% of total deposits and exceeded our $768.3 million in uninsured deposits as of March 31, 2023. Our AFS securities portfolio has a weighted average remaining duration of just 11 months and U.S. Treasury securities represent 99.7% of that portfolio. Unrealized losses on the AFS securities portfolio were just $2.3 million, or 0.88%, of shareholders’ equity as of March 31, 2023, which we expect to accrete back into equity at approximately $500,000 a quarter for the next three quarters.

    As we move forward in the year, we are well equipped to handle the challenges that may come from this uncertain economic environment. In addition to our well-established community bank base, which includes our 14 branch network and strong local economy, we also have three rings of defense to mitigate credit and counterparty risk with our CCBX partners: (1) well-funded partner cash reserve accounts, (2) partners we believe have the underlying financial strength to replenish and maintain cash reserve balances, and (3) if cash reserves are not replenished then we receive full economic benefit and retention of all interest and fee revenue from the loans. As we continue to evolve and explore new opportunities for growth, our commitment to the safety and soundness of the Company and the Bank continues to be our top priority,” stated Eric Sprink, the CEO of the Company and the Bank.

    Results of Operations Overview

    Beginning in 2023, the Company changed the structure for how it reports segment activity. The Company has one main subsidiary, the Bank which consists of three segments: CCBX, the community bank and treasury & administration. The CCBX segment includes our BaaS activities, the community bank segment includes all community banking activities and treasury & administration includes treasury management, overall administration and all other aspects of the Company. Net interest income was $54.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $1.1 million, or 2.0%, from $53.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, and an increase of $25.2 million, or 86.2%, from $29.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Yield on loans receivable was 9.95% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 9.33% for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 6.80% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in net interest income compared to December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, was largely related to increased yield on loans resulting from higher interest rates and growth in higher yielding loans, primarily from CCBX. Total average loans receivable for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $2.71 billion, compared to $2.60 billion for the three months ended December 31, 2022, and $1.77 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

    Interest and fees on loans totaled $66.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $61.2 million and $29.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively. Loan growth of $209.9 million, or 8.0%, during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 included a $153.7 million increase in CCBX loans of which capital call lines form a part. Capital call lines decreased $27.2 million, or 18.6%, during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2022 as a result of normal balance fluctuations and business activities. Capital call lines bear a lower rate of interest, but have less credit risk due to the way the loans are structured compared to other commercial loans. The increase in interest and fees on loans for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, was largely due to growth in higher yielding loans and increased interest rates. As a result of the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) raising the target Federal Funds rate two times during the quarter for a total increase of 0.50%, interest rates on our existing variable rate loans were affected, as are the rates on new loans. We continue to monitor the impact of these increases in interest rates. The FOMC last raised the target Federal Funds rate 0.25% on March 23, 2023.

    Interest income from interest earning deposits with other banks was $3.1 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and an increase of $2.7 million compared to March 31, 2022 due to an increase in interest rates. The average balance of interest earning deposits with other banks for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $271.7 million, compared to $329.4 million and $843.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively. Interest earning deposits with other banks decreased as a result of increased loan demand compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022. Additionally, the average yield on these interest earning deposits with other banks increased to 4.62% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to 3.73% and 0.19% for the quarters ended December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively.

    Interest expense was $15.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, a $3.9 million increase from the quarter ended December 31, 2022 and a $14.7 million increase from the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Interest expense on deposits was $15.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to $553,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Interest expense on borrowed funds was $662,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to $537,000 and $321,000 for the quarters ended December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively. Interest expense on borrowed funds increased $125,000 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022, as a result of an increase of $20.0 million in subordinated debt, which closed on November 1, 2022, combined with the increase in interest rates. The $341,000 increase in interest expense on borrowed funds from the quarter ended March 31, 2022 is the result of an increase in subordinated debt and increase in interest rates partially offset by a decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, which were paid off in the first quarter of 2022. Interest expense on interest bearing deposits increased $3.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2022, and $14.4 million compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2022 as a result an increase in CCBX deposits that are tied to and reprice when the FOMC raises rates, just like our CCBX loans which also reprice when the FOMC raises interest rates. Additionally, as a result of the interest rate increases, in the first and second quarter of 2022 a significant portion of CCBX deposits that were not earning interest were reclassified to interest bearing deposits from noninterest bearing deposits, which also contributed to the increase in interest expense compared to March 31, 2022. These CCBX deposits were reclassified because the current interest rate exceeded the minimum interest rate set in their respective program agreements, as a result of the first and second quarter 2022 interest rate increases. We do not expect additional CCBX deposits will be reclassified as a result of future rate increases.

    Total cost of deposits was 2.13% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 1.56% for the three months ended December 31, 2022, and 0.09%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Community bank and CCBX cost of deposits were 0.66% and 3.89% respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 0.37% and 3.13%, for the three months ended December 31, 2022, and 0.11% and 0.06% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in cost of deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the prior periods for both segments is a result of increased interest rates and increased CCBX deposits. Also impacting CCBX cost of deposits was the reclassification of deposits from noninterest bearing to interest bearing in the first two quarters of 2022. Any additional FOMC interest rate increases will increase our cost of deposits and result in higher interest expense on interest bearing deposits.

    Net Interest Margin

    Net interest margin was 7.15% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 6.96% and 4.45% for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively. The increase in net interest margin compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, was largely a result of increased volume and an increase in higher interest rates on new loans and on existing variable rate loans as they reprice. Loans receivable increased $209.9 million and $873.0 million, compared to December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively. Additionally, the Fed Funds interest rate increases have resulted in existing, variable rate loans repricing to higher interest rates. Interest on loans receivable increased $5.2 million, or 8.5%, to $66.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $61.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, and $29.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Also contributing to the increase in net interest margin compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, was a $2.7 million increase in interest on interest earning deposits. These interest earning deposits earned an average rate of 4.62% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to 3.73% and 0.19% for the quarters ended December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively. Average investment securities increased $724,000 to $102.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022, and increased $56.5 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. Interest on investment securities decreased $4,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022. Interest on investment securities increased $482,000 compared to March 31, 2022, as a result of the increase in average outstanding balance coupled with increased yield, which also positively impacted net interest margin. These increases in interest income were partially offset by increases in interest expense on interest bearing deposits, as previously discussed.

    Cost of funds was 2.19% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, an increase of 58 basis points from the quarter ended December 31, 2022 and an increase of 205 basis points from the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Cost of deposits for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was 2.13%, compared to 1.56% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, and 0.09% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The increased cost of funds and deposits compared to December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022 was largely due to the increase in interest rates compared to the previous periods and growth in higher cost CCBX deposits compared to March 31, 2022.

    During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, total loans receivable increased by $209.9 million, or 8.0%, to $2.84 billion, compared to $2.63 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The increase consists of $153.7 million in CCBX loan growth and $56.3 million in community bank loan growth. Community bank loan growth is net of $0.9 million in PPP loan forgiveness/repayments. Total loans receivable grew $873.0 million as of March 31, 2023, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2022. This increase includes CCBX loan growth of $650.8 million and community bank loan growth of $222.2 million. Community bank loan growth is net of $43.7 million in PPP loan forgiveness/repayments as of March 31, 2023 compared to March 31, 2022. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, $101.2 million in CCBX loans were transferred into loans held for sale, with $73.9 million in loans sold during the quarter and $27.3 million remaining in loans held for sale as of March 31, 2023; compared to zero held for sale as of December 31, 2022. 

    Total yield on loans receivable for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was 9.95%, compared to 9.33% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, and 6.80% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. This increase in yield on loans receivable is a combination of an overall increase in interest rates, repricing of variable rate loans as well as additional volume in higher rate consumer loans from CCBX partners. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, CCBX loans outstanding increased 15.2%, or $153.7 million, compared to December 31, 2022, with an average CCBX yield of 16.09% and community bank loans increased 3.5%, or $56.3 million, December 31, 2022, with an average yield of 5.97%. The yield on CCBX loans does not include the impact of BaaS loan expense. BaaS loan expense represents the amount paid or payable to partners for credit enhancements, fraud enhancements and servicing CCBX loans.

    The following table summarizes the average yield on loans receivable and cost of deposits for our community bank and CCBX segments for the periods indicated:

    Noninterest income was $49.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $6.5 million from $42.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, and an increase of $27.3 million from $22.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in noninterest income over the quarter ended December 31, 2022 was primarily due to an increase of $6.3 million in total BaaS income. The $6.3 million increase in total BaaS income included a $11.2 million increase in BaaS credit enhancements related to the allowance for credit losses and reserve for unfunded commitments, a $4.8 million decrease in BaaS fraud enhancements, and a decrease of $32,000 in BaaS program income. The decrease in BaaS program income is a result of seasonality and lower implementation fees (see “Appendix B” for more information on the accounting for BaaS allowance for credit losses, reserve for unfunded commitments and credit and fraud enhancements). The $27.3 million increase in noninterest income over the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was primarily due to a $27.8 million increase in BaaS income. The $27.8 million increase in BaaS income included a $29.3 million increase in BaaS credit enhancements, a $2.6 million decrease in BaaS fraud enhancements and a $1.1 million increase in BaaS program income.

    Our CCBX segment continues to evolve, and we now have 25 relationships, at varying stages, as of March 31, 2023. We continue to refine the criteria for CCBX partnerships and are exiting relationships where it makes sense for both parties and are focusing more on selecting larger and more established partners, with experienced management teams, existing customer bases and strong financial positions.

    The following table illustrates the activity and evolution in CCBX relationships for the periods presented. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, two partners wound down their CCBX programs; these programs were not material in terms of income and sources of funds or loans.

    Total noninterest expense $44,663 $47,103 $30,415
              

    Total noninterest expense decreased $2.4 million to $44.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $47.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and increased $14.3 million from $30.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2022, was primarily due to a $4.5 million decrease in BaaS expense (of which $4.8 million is related to a decrease in partner fraud expense partially offset by an increase of $339,000 in partner loan expense). Partner loan expense represents the amount paid or payable to partners for credit enhancements, fraud enhancements, and servicing CCBX loans. Partner fraud expense represents non-credit fraud losses on partner’s customer loan and deposit accounts. A portion of this expense is realized during the quarter during which the loss occurs, and a portion is estimated based on historical or other information from our partners.  

    The increase in noninterest expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2022 were largely due to an increase of $6.7 million in BaaS partner expense (increase of $9.3 million of which is related to partner loan expense and a decrease of $2.6 million of which is related to partner fraud expense), $4.5 million increase in salary and employee benefits related to hiring staff for CCBX and additional staff for our ongoing growth initiatives and $2.4 million increase in legal and professional fees due to increased fees related to data and risk management, and increased consulting expenses for projects and enhanced monitoring. Additionally, there was a $505,000 increase in point of sale expenses which is attributed to increased CCBX activity.

    Provision for Income Taxes

    The provision for income taxes was $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, $2.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2023. The provision for income taxes was higher for the three months ended March 31, 2023 due to fewer favorable tax deductions related to the exercise of equity awards compared to December 31, 2022. The Company is subject to various state taxes that are assessed as CCBX activities and employees expand into other states, which has increased the overall tax rate used in calculating the provision for income taxes in the current and future periods. The Company uses a federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% as a basis for calculating provision for federal income taxes and 2.62% for calculating the provision for state taxes. The effective tax rate was lower for the three months ended March 31, 2023 due to tax benefits that resulted from the exercise and deductibility of equity awards.

    Financial Condition Overview

    Total assets increased $306.6 million, or 9.7%, to $3.45 billion at March 31, 2023 compared to $3.14 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase is primarily due to loans receivable increasing $209.9 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 coupled with a $46.8 million increase in interest earning deposits with other banks. Additionally, there were $27.3 million in loans held for sale at March 31, 2023, compared to zero at December 31, 2022.  

    Total assets increased $617.3 million, or 21.8%, at March 31, 2023, compared to $2.83 billion at March 31, 2022. The increase is primarily due to loans receivable increasing $873.0 million, and a decrease of $34.5 million in investment securities and a $293.2 million decrease in interest earning deposits with other banks, resulting from increased loan demand and funds being shifted from interest earning deposits with other banks to loans, compared to March 31, 2022.

    Loans Receivable

    Total loans receivable increased $209.9 million to $2.84 billion at March 31, 2023, from $2.63 billion at December 31, 2022, and increased $873.0 million from $1.96 billion at March 31, 2022.  The increase in loans receivable over the quarter ended December 31, 2022 was the result of $153.7 million in CCBX loan growth and $56.3 million in community bank loan growth. Community bank loan growth is net of $908,000 in PPP loan forgiveness/repayments compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The change in loans receivable over the quarter ended March 31, 2022 includes CCBX loan growth of $650.8 million and $222.2 million in community bank loan growth as of March 31, 2023.  Community bank loan growth is net of $43.7 million in PPP loan forgiveness and paydowns since March 31, 2022.

    Deposits

    Total deposits increased $277.7 million, or 9.9%, to $3.10 billion at March 31, 2023 from $2.82 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase was due to a $381.6 million increase in core deposits, combined with a $2.4 million decrease in time deposits and includes BaaS-brokered deposits that are now classified as NOW accounts due to a change in the relationship agreement with one of our partners; these deposits increased to $275.4 million as of March 31, 2023 compared to $101.5 million as of December 31, 2022. Deposits in our CCBX segment increased $284.5 million, from $1.28 billion at December 31, 2022, to $1.56 billion at March 31, 2023 and community bank deposits decreased $6.8 million to $1.53 billion at March 31, 2023. The deposits from our CCBX segment are predominately classified as interest bearing, or NOW and money market accounts. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, noninterest bearing deposits decreased $13.2 million, or 1.7%, to $761.8 million from $775.0 million at December 31, 2022. In the quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2022, NOW and money market accounts increased $402.7 million, savings deposits decreased $7.9 million, and time deposits decreased $2.4 million. Included in total deposits is $94.3 million in IntraFi network NOW and money market sweep accounts as of March 31, 2023, which provides our customers with fully insured deposits through a sweep to other banks. Uninsured deposits decreased to $768.3 million as of March 31, 2023, compared to $835.8 million as of December 31, 2022.

    Total deposits increased $518.8 million, or 20.1%, to $3.10 billion at March 31, 2023 compared to $2.58 billion at March 31, 2022. The increase is largely the result of growth in CCBX deposits. Noninterest bearing deposits decreased $76.2 million, or 9.1%, to $761.8 million at March 31, 2023 from $838.0 million at March 31, 2022. NOW and money market accounts increased $690.6 million, or 45.5%, to $2.21 billion at March 31, 2023, and savings accounts decreased $7.1 million, or 6.7%, and time deposits decreased $13.3 million, or 33.0%, in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022 and includes BaaS-brokered deposits that are now classified as NOW accounts due to a change in the relationship agreement with one of our partners; these deposits increased to $275.4 million as of March 31, 2023, compared to $75.1 million as of March 31, 2022. These deposits increased as a result of sweeping them back on the balance sheet. Additionally, as of March 31, 2023 we have access to $36.9 million in CCBX customer deposits that are currently being transferred off the Bank’s balance sheet to other financial institutions on a daily basis. The Bank could retain these deposits for liquidity and funding purposes if needed. If a portion of these deposits are retained, they would be classified as NOW accounts. Efforts to retain and grow core deposits are evidenced by the high ratios in these categories when compared to total deposits.

    Borrowings

    As of March 31, 2023 the Company has the capacity to borrow up to a total of $575.1 million from the Federal Reserve Bank discount window and Federal Home Loan Bank, with no borrowings outstanding as of March 31, 2023.

    Shareholders’ Equity

    During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company contributed $15.0 million in capital to the Bank.  The Company had a cash balance of $7.7 million as of March 31, 2023, which is retained for general operating purposes, including debt repayment, and for funding $820,000 in commitments to bank technology funds.  

    Total shareholders’ equity increased $15.3 million since December 31, 2022.  The increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily due to $12.4 million in net earnings, $954,000 net credit adjustment to retained earnings from implementing CECL on January 1, 2023 and $567,000 increase from stock options being exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

    Capital Ratios

    The Company and the Bank remained well capitalized at March 31, 2023, as summarized in the following table.

    (unaudited) Coastal Community Bank Coastal Financial Corporation Minimum Well Capitalized Ratios under Prompt Corrective Action (1)
    Tier 1 leverage capital 9.35% 8.29% 5.00%
    Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based capital 9.76% 8.61% 6.50%
    Tier 1 risk-based capital 9.76% 8.73% 8.00%
    Total risk-based capital 11.03% 11.49% 10.00%

    (1) Presents the minimum capital ratios for an insured depository institution, such as the Bank, to be considered well capitalized under the Prompt Corrective Action framework. The minimum requirements for the Company to be considered well capitalized under Regulation Y include to maintain, on a consolidated basis, a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0 percent or greater and a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0 percent or greater.

    Asset Quality

    Effective January 1, 2023 the Company implemented the CECL allowance model which calculates reserves over the life of the loan and is largely driven by portfolio characteristics, economic outlook, and other key methodology assumptions versus the incurred loss model, which is what we were previously using. As a result of implementing CECL, there was a one-time adjustment to the 2023 opening allowance balance of $3.9 million. The day 1 CECL adjustment for community bank loans included a reduction of $310,000 to the community bank allowance driven by the reversal of the unallocated balance and a reduction of $340,000 related to the community bank unfunded commitment reserve also driven by the reversal of the unallocated balance. This was offset by an increase to the CCBX allowance for $4.2 million. With the mirror image approach accounting related to the contingent receivable for CCBX partner loans, there was a CECL day 1 increase to the indemnification asset in the amount of $4.5 million. Net, the day 1 impact to retained earnings for the Bank’s transition to CECL was an increase of $954,000, excluding the impact of income taxes.

    The total allowance for credit losses was $89.1 million and 3.14% of loans receivable at March 31, 2023 compared to $74.0 million and 2.82% at December 31, 2022 and $38.8 million and 1.97% at March 31, 2022. The allowance for credit loss allocated to the CCBX portfolio was $68.4 million and 5.87% of CCBX loans receivable at March 31, 2023, with $20.7 million of allowance for credit loss allocated to the community bank or 1.24% of total community bank loans receivable.

    The following table details the allocation of the allowance for credit loss as of the period indicated:

    Provision for credit losses - loans totaled $43.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, $33.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, and $12.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Net charge-offs totaled $32.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to $18.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 and $2.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Net charge-offs increased due to CCBX partner loans and the reclassification and charge-off of negative deposit accounts. CCBX partner agreements provide for a credit enhancement that covers the net-charge-offs on CCBX loans and negative deposit accounts, except in accordance with the program agreement for one partner where the Company is responsible for credit losses on approximately 10% of a $137.4 million loan portfolio. At March 31, 2023, our 10% of this portfolio represented $13.9 million in loans.

    The following table details net charge-offs for the core bank and CCBX for the period indicated:

    The increase in the Company’s provision for credit losses - loans during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, is largely related to the provision for loan growth in CCBX partner loans. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, a $43.1 million provision for credit losses - loans was recorded for CCBX partner loans based on management’s analysis, compared to the $33.1 million provision for credit losses - loans that was recorded for CCBX for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. CCBX loans have a higher level of expected losses than our community bank loans, which is reflected in the factors for the allowance for credit losses. Agreements with our CCBX partners provide for a credit enhancement which protects the Bank by absorbing incurred losses. In accordance with accounting guidance, we estimate and record a provision for expected losses for these CCBX loans and reclassified negative deposit accounts. When the provision for CCBX credit losses and provision for unfunded commitments is recorded, a credit enhancement asset is also recorded on the balance sheet through noninterest income (BaaS credit enhancements). Expected losses are recorded in the allowance for credit losses. The credit enhancement asset is relieved when credit enhancement recoveries are received from the CCBX partner. CCBX partners provide for credit enhancements that provide protection to the Bank from credit and fraud losses by absorbing incurred credit and fraud losses. If our partner is unable to fulfill their contracted obligations then the bank could be exposed to additional credit losses. Management regularly evaluates and manages this counterparty risk. The Company is responsible for credit losses on approximately 10% of a $137.4 million CCBX loan portfolio. At March 31, 2023, 10% of this portfolio represented $13.9 million in loans. The factors used in management’s analysis for community bank credit losses indicated that a provision of $428,000 and $504,000 was needed for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

    The following table details the provision expense for the community bank and CCBX for the period indicated:

      Three Months Ended
    (dollars in thousands; unaudited) March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 March 31, 2022
    Community bank $428 $504 $344
    CCBX  43,116  33,096  12,598
    Total provision expense $43,544 $33,600 $12,942
              

    At March 31, 2023, our nonperforming assets were $31.5 million, or 0.91% of total assets, compared to $33.2 million, or 1.06%, of total assets, at December 31, 2022, and $2.3 million, or 0.08% of total assets, at March 31, 2022. These ratios are impacted by CCBX loans over 90 days delinquent that are covered by CCBX partner credit enhancements. Agreements with our CCBX partners provide for a credit enhancement which protects the Bank by absorbing incurred losses. Under the agreement, the CCBX partner will reimburse the Bank for its loss/charge-off on these loans. Nonperforming assets decreased $1.6 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2022, due to $1.5 million less in CCBX loans that are past due 90 days or more and still accruing combined with $98,000 less in community bank nonaccrual loans. As a result of the type of loans (primarily consumer loans) originated through our CCBX partners we anticipate that balances 90 days past due or more and still accruing will increase as those loans grow. Installment/closed-end and revolving/open-end consumer loans originated through CCBX lending partners will continue to accrue interest until 120 and 180 days past due, respectively and are reported as substandard, 90 days or more days past due and still accruing. Community bank nonaccrual loans decreased as a result of nonaccrual principal reductions/charge-offs. There were no repossessed assets or other real estate owned at March 31, 2023. Our nonperforming loans to loans receivable ratio was 1.11% at March 31, 2023, compared to 1.26% at December 31, 2022, and 0.12% at March 31, 2022.

    For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, there were $45,000 of community bank net charge-offs and $7.0 million of nonperforming community bank loans. The $6.9 million nonaccrual balance in commercial real estate loans shown below consists of one loan that is well secured with an original loan to value of 62%, and an updated loan to value of 75% as of January 2023. Management anticipates this loan being resolved in the first half of 2023. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, $32.3 million in net charge-offs were recorded on CCBX loans. These loans have a higher level of expected losses than our community bank loans, which is reflected in the factors for the allowance for credit losses. The Company is responsible for credit losses on approximately 10% of a $137.4 million loan portfolio. At March 31, 2023, 10% of this portfolio represented $13.9 million in loans.

    APPENDIX B -
    As of March 31, 2023

    CCBX – BaaS Reporting Information

    During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, $42.4 million was recorded in BaaS credit enhancements related to the provision for credit losses - loans and reserve for unfunded commitments for CCBX partner loans and negative deposit accounts. Agreements with our CCBX partners provide for a credit enhancement provided by the partner which protects the Bank by absorbing incurred losses. In accordance with accounting guidance, we estimate and record a provision for expected losses for these CCBX loans and negative deposit accounts. When the provision for credit losses - loans and provision for unfunded commitments is recorded, a credit enhancement asset is also recorded on the balance sheet through noninterest income (BaaS credit enhancements) in recognition of the CCBX partner legal commitment to cover losses. The credit enhancement asset is relieved as credit enhancement payments and recoveries are received from the CCBX partner or taken from the partner’s cash reserve account. Agreements with our CCBX partners also provide protection to the Bank from fraud by absorbing incurred fraud losses. Partner fraud includes noncredit fraud losses on loans and deposits originated through partners. Fraud losses are recorded when incurred as losses in noninterest expense, and the enhancement received from the CCBX partner is recorded in noninterest income, resulting in a net impact of zero to the income statement. CCBX partners also pledge a cash reserve account at the Bank which the Bank can collect from when losses occur that is then replenished by the partner on a regular interval. Although agreements with our CCBX partners provide for credit enhancements that provide protection to the Bank from credit and fraud losses by absorbing incurred credit and fraud losses, if our partner is unable to fulfill their contracted obligations to replenish their cash reserve account then the bank would be exposed to additional loan and deposit losses, as a result of this counterparty risk. If a CCBX partner does not replenish their cash reserve account then the Bank can declare the agreement in default, take over servicing and cease paying the partner for servicing the loan and providing credit enhancements. The Bank would write-off any remaining credit enhancement asset from the CCBX partner but would retain the full yield and any fee income on the loan going forward, and BaaS loan expense would decrease once default occurred and payments to the CCBX partner were stopped.

    For CCBX partner loans the Bank records contractual interest earned from the borrower on loans in interest income, adjusted for origination costs which are paid or payable to the CCBX partner. BaaS loan expense represents the amount paid or payable to partners for credit enhancements and servicing CCBX loans. To determine net revenue (Net BaaS loan income) earned from CCBX loan relationships, the Bank takes BaaS loan interest income and deducts BaaS loan expense to arrive at Net BaaS loan income (A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures are set forth in the preceding section of this earnings release.) which can be compared to interest income on the Company’s community bank loans.

    The following table illustrates how CCBX partner loan income and expenses are recorded in the financial statements:
