LA JOLLA, Calif., Oct. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Private Bancorp of America, Inc. (NASDAQ: PBAM), (the“Company”) and CalPrivate Bank (the“Bank”) announced unaudited financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2026. The Company reported net income of $11.4 million, or $1.97 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $13.1 million, or $2.27 per diluted share, in the prior quarter, and $9.7 million, or $1.65 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2025.

Rick Sowers, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank, stated,“We are pleased with our third quarter results. The quarter included strong loan production and continued top-quartile net interest margin. Pipelines are strong going into the fourth quarter. Although criticized assets increased in the quarter, we are dedicating the appropriate resources to improve our credit metrics and believe that reserves are more than adequate. Our focus remains on delivering superior service and solutions to our clients and building a scalable business through investments in technology and people, including our recent hires in key positions - Chief Operating Officer, Chief Credit Officer and General Counsel, amongst others.”

These factors, together with access to capital, provide opportunities for creating sustainable long-term value for shareholders.”

STATEMENT OF INCOME

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2026 totaled $34.1 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 1.7%, from the prior quarter and an increase of $4.8 million, or 16.3%, from the third quarter of 2025. The increase from the prior quarter was driven by a $1.2 million increase in interest income, primarily reflecting higher interest on deposits in other financial institutions and higher investment securities income, partially offset by a modest increase in interest expense.

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin (“NIM”) for the third quarter of 2026 was 5.05%, compared to 5.18% for the prior quarter and 4.65% in the third quarter of 2025. The decrease of 13 basis points (bps) in NIM from the prior quarter was primarily a result of the 15 bps positive impact from net nonaccrual interest adjustments in the second quarter, partially offset by approximately 4 bps from higher prepayment penalties and 2 bps from a special FHLB stock dividend recorded in the third quarter. The yield on interest-earning assets was 6.60% for the third quarter of 2026 compared to 6.70% for the prior quarter, and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.34% for the third quarter of 2026 compared to 2.32% in the prior quarter. The cost of total deposits was 1.66% for the third quarter of 2026 compared to 1.63% in the prior quarter. The cost of core deposits, which excludes brokered deposits, was 1.61% in the third quarter of 2026 compared to 1.57% in the prior quarter and 1.93% for the third quarter of 2025. The spot rate for total deposits was 1.68% as of September 30, 2026, compared to 1.65% at June 30, 2026.

Provision for Credit Losses

A credit loss provision expense of $1.3 million was recorded for the third quarter of 2026, compared to a $0.2 million provision reversal in the prior quarter and a $1.8 million provision expense in the third quarter of 2025. The total provision expense for the quarter was comprised of $0.4 million for loans HFI and $0.9 million for unfunded commitments. Net recoveries were $0.9 million. Effective July 1, 2026, the Company implemented a new current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model for loans HFI and unfunded commitments. The third-quarter provision included approximately $0.8 million associated with the model transition, primarily reflecting an increase in the reserve for unfunded commitments. For more details, please refer to the“Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses (ACL)” section below.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $1.0 million in the prior quarter and $2.2 million in the third quarter of 2025. U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans totaling $6.1 million were sold during the third quarter of 2026 with a 10.72% average trade premium, resulting in a net gain on sale of $337 thousand, compared with sales of $3.4 million with a 10.50% average trade premium and a $0.2 million premium reimbursement that reduced the net gain on sale to $4 thousand in the prior quarter.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $18.4 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $16.9 million in the prior quarter and $15.9 million in the third quarter of 2025. The $1.5 million increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to $0.6 million of impairment expense related to other real estate owned (“OREO”), a $0.4 million increase in compensation and employee benefits, and increased costs related to the NASDAQ Uplisting. The NASDAQ Uplisting costs totaled approximately $0.9 million during the quarter and were included primarily in professional services and other expenses. Other expenses increased $1.1 million from the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to the $0.6 million OREO impairment expense and $0.3 million NASDAQ initial listing fee. The efficiency ratio⁽¹⁾ was 51.68% for the third quarter of 2026, compared to 48.81% in the prior quarter and 50.49% in the third quarter of 2025. The increase in the efficiency ratio from the prior quarter primarily reflected a $1.5 million increase in noninterest expense, partially offset by a $0.4 million increase in noninterest income and a $0.6 million increase in net interest income.

The Company continues to invest in people, processes and technology to scale the business. Inflationary pressures and low unemployment continue to contribute to upward pressure on wages, as well as increased costs related to third-party service providers, which we proactively monitor and manage.

Provision for Income Tax Expense

Provision for income tax expense was $4.5 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $4.8 million for the prior quarter. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2026 was 28.3%, compared to 26.7% in the prior quarter and 29.7% in the third quarter of 2025. The effective tax rate increased from the prior quarter primarily due to discrete tax benefits associated with equity compensation that lowered the prior quarter's effective tax rate.

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

As of September 30, 2026, total assets were $2.75 billion, an increase of $39.9 million since June 30, 2026. The increase in assets from the prior quarter primarily reflected a $54.0 million increase in loans HFI and a $30.6 million increase in AFS securities, partially offset by a $49.1 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents. AFS securities were $267.7 million as of September 30, 2026, an increase of $30.6 million, or 12.9%, since June 30, 2026, primarily as a result of new securities purchased. As of September 30, 2026, the net unrealized loss on the AFS securities portfolio, which is comprised primarily of U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities, was $17.7 million (pre-tax) compared to a loss of $8.9 million (pre-tax) as of June 30, 2026. The increase in net unrealized losses was due to higher market interest rates during the quarter. The average duration of the Bank's AFS portfolio is 4.4 years. The AFS portfolio's book yield increased to 4.13% at September 30, 2026, from 3.83% at September 30, 2025. The Company has no held-to-maturity securities. Loans HFI totaled $2.19 billion as of September 30, 2026, an increase of $54.0 million since June 30, 2026, primarily reflecting higher investor-owned commercial real estate, SBA 504, multifamily and construction loan balances, partially offset by lower owner-occupied commercial real estate and commercial and industrial balances.

Total deposits were $2.41 billion as of September 30, 2026, an increase of $31.8 million since June 30, 2026. During the quarter, core deposits increased by $31.8 million, as a $25.1 million increase in interest-bearing core deposits (including balances in the IntraFi ICS and CDARS programs) was accompanied by a $6.7 million increase in noninterest-bearing core deposits. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 28.3% of total core deposits. Brokered deposits were $49.3 million as of September 30, 2026, unchanged since June 30, 2026. Uninsured deposits, net of collateralized and fiduciary deposit accounts, represented 52.8% of total deposits as of September 30, 2026.

As of September 30, 2026, total available liquidity was $2.4 billion or 191.8% of uninsured deposits, net of collateralized and fiduciary deposits. Total available liquidity is comprised of $502 million of on-balance sheet liquidity (cash and investment securities) and $1.9 billion of unused borrowing capacity.

Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses (ACL)

As of September 30, 2026, the allowance for loan losses was $31.7 million, or 1.45% of loans HFI, compared to $30.5 million or 1.43% of loans HFI as of June 30, 2026. The allowance-to-loans HFI ratio was 1.38% at September 30, 2025. The increase in the coverage ratio primarily reflected net loan growth, with originations and balance increases carrying higher reserve rates than loans paid off or paid down, as well as risk-rating downgrades and higher qualitative reserves on construction loans. Nonperforming assets were 1.58% of total assets as of September 30, 2026, compared to 1.50% as of June 30, 2026.

Effective July 1, 2026, the Company implemented a new CECL model for loans HFI and unfunded commitments, including a change in its CECL software vendor and more granular loan segmentation based on shared risk characteristics. The reserve for unfunded commitments was $1.4 million as of September 30, 2026, compared to $0.5 million as of June 30, 2026. At the July 1 transition, the new model decreased the allowance for loans HFI by approximately $47 thousand and increased the reserve for unfunded commitments by approximately $0.8 million.

At September 30, 2026, criticized loans totaled $71.9 million, or 3.29% of total loans, compared to $58.0 million, or 2.72% of total loans, at June 30, 2026, of which classified loans were $67.7 million and $51.0 million, respectively. Criticized loans were $70.5 million, or 3.39% of total loans, at September 30, 2025. The September 30, 2026 classified balance consisted of 54 loans: 42 real estate secured loans totaling $57.5 million with a 62.0% weighted-average LTV; and 12 commercial and industrial loans totaling $10.2 million. The increase in criticized loans is primarily attributable to a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing impacting two related real estate investor loans totaling $8.8 million and delinquent payments for two SBA 504 real estate loans totaling $3.7 million.

As of September 30, 2026, nonaccrual loans were $28.8 million, up from $26.9 million as of June 30, 2026. Specific reserves of $1.9 million were held against nonaccrual loan balances of $4.4 million. The nonaccrual loans without specific reserves were supported by collateral values exceeding their loan balances, except for one $1.5 million commercial and industrial loan placed on nonaccrual during the quarter.

As of September 30, 2026, nonperforming assets were $43.3 million, or 1.58% of total assets, an increase of $2.8 million from $40.5 million, or 1.50% of total assets, at June 30, 2026, driven by a $1.9 million increase in nonaccrual loans and a $0.9 million increase in other real estate owned.

The following tables present a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures for: efficiency ratio, pretax pre-provision net revenue, average tangible common equity, tangible book value per share and return on average tangible common equity. We believe the presentation of certain non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to assess our consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations and to assist investors in evaluating our financial results relative to our peers. These non-GAAP financial measures complement our GAAP reporting and are presented below to provide investors and others with information that we use to manage the business each period. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should be taken together with the corresponding GAAP measures and should not be considered a substitute for the GAAP measures.
