Selected Financial Information
Financial Highlights: As of or for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019
Loans $4.9 Billion Revenue: $158 Million
Deposits $5.2 Billion Net Income: $41.0 Million
Total Assets $6.4 Billion ROAA 0.90%
AUM $4.2 Billion ROE (tangible equity)2 11.4%
TBV per share $11.352 Efficiency Ratio 63.1% 1
Growth / Footprint
Loan production: $1.72 billion – 2017; $1.84 billion – 2018; $1.38 billion – 2019, 9 months
Deposit growth: $1.2 billion – 2017; $1.1 billion – 2018; $638 million – 2019, 9 months
Revenue growth: 23% - 2017; 26% - 2018; 12% - 2019, 9 months (over 2018 corresponding period)
Bank Offices: Southern California (14); Northern California (4); Hawaii and Nevada
1) The efficiency ratio is the ratio of noninterest expense to the sum of net interest income and noninterest income. For the first nine months of 2019, $0.4 million of one-time income items and $1.2 million of expense refunds was excluded from non-interest income for purposes of this computation.
2) Tangible common equity (also referred to as tangible book value or tangible equity) and tangible assets, are equal to common equity and assets, respectively, less $97.7 million of goodwill and intangible assets as of September 30, 2019. Average tangible equity is equal to average common equity less $98.6 million of average goodwill and intangible assets for the nine months September 30, 2019. We believe that this information is consistent with the treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which exclude intangible assets from the calculation of capital ratios.
