    OP Bancorp (the "Company") (NASDAQ:OPBK), the holding company of Open Bank (the "Bank"), today reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2024. Net income remained relatively the same for both the third quarter and second quarter of 2024 at $5.4 million, or $0.36 per diluted common share, compared with $5.1 million, or $0.33 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2023.

    Min Kim, President and Chief Executive Officer:

    "We continued to grow our loans and deposits at double digit annualized rates in this quarter while maintaining ample liquidity, stable net interest margin, and strong credit quality. As the Fed's easing cycle began in the quarter, the pressure on funding cost and net interest margin is diminishing, and we believe we are well positioned to prolong our growth and performance to achieve our long term strategic goals," said Min Kim, President and Chief Executive.

    Includes discount accretion from SBA loan payoffs of $426 thousand, $564 thousand and $666 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2024, June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.

    (3)

    Includes prepayment penalty income of $114 thousand and $26 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively, from Commercial Real Estate ("CRE") loans.

    Third Quarter 2024 vs. Second Quarter 2024

    Net interest income increased $312 thousand, or 1.9%, primarily due to higher interest income on loans but partially offset by higher interest expense on interest-bearing deposits and lower interest income on interest-bearing deposits in other banks. Net interest margin was 2.95%, a decrease of 1 basis point from 2.96%.

    • A $1.3 million increase in interest income on loans was primarily due to a $62.7 million, or 3.4%, increase in average balance.
    • A $578 thousand increase in interest expense on interest-bearing deposits was primarily due to a $29.4 million, or 2.0%, increase in average balance.
    • A $373 thousand decrease in interest income on interest-bearing deposits in other banks was primarily due to a $27.0 million, or 19.8%, decrease in average balance.

    Third Quarter 2024 vs. Third Quarter 2023

    Net interest income decreased $807 thousand, or 4.7%, primarily due to higher interest expense on interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by higher interest income on loans and higher interest-bearing deposits in other banks, as our deposit costs repriced quicker than our interest-earning asset yields following the Federal Reserve's rate increases. Net interest margin was 2.95%, a decrease of 43 basis points from 3.38%.

    • A $4.9 million increase in interest expense on interest-bearing deposits was primarily due to a $248.4 million, or 20.3%, increase in average balance and a 63 basis point increase in average cost.
    • A $3.6 million increase in interest income on loans was primarily due to a $165.8 million, or 9.5%, increase in average balance and a 21 basis point increase in average yield.
    • A $358 thousand increase in interest income on interest-bearing deposits in other banks was primarily due to a $26.3 million, or 31.7%, increase in average balance.

    The Company recorded $448 thousand in total provision for credit losses, a decrease of $169 thousand, compared with $617 thousand. Provision for credit losses on loans decreased $393 thousand and provision for credit losses on off-balance sheet exposure increased $224 thousand.

    Provision for credit losses on loans of $234 thousand was primarily due to a $215 thousand increase in the qualitative reserve driven by declining collateral values for collateral dependent CRE loans and weakening economic and business conditions.

    Provision for credit losses on off-balance sheet exposure of $214 thousand was primarily due to increases in unfunded commitment balance and utilization of commitment.

    Third Quarter 2024 vs. Third Quarter 2023

    The Company recorded $448 thousand in total provision for credit losses, a decrease of $911 thousand, compared with $1.4 million.

    Third Quarter 2024 vs. Second Quarter 2024

    Noninterest income increased $56 thousand, or 1.3%, primarily due to higher loan servicing fees and higher service charges on deposits, partially offset by lower gain on the sale of loans.

    • Loan servicing fees, net of amortization, were $693 thousand, an increase of $118 thousand from $575 thousand, primarily due to a decrease in servicing fee amortization driven by lower loan payoffs in loan servicing portfolio.
    • Service charges on deposits were $889 thousand, an increase of $96 thousand from $793 thousand, primarily due to an increase in deposit analysis fees from analysis accounts added in 2024.
    • Gain on sale of loans was $2.1 million, a decrease of $237 thousand from $2.3 million, primarily due to a lower average premium on sales. The Bank sold $35.6 million in SBA loans at an average premium rate of 7.30%, compared to the sale of $32.1 million at an average premium rate of 8.58%.

    Third Quarter 2024 vs. Third Quarter 2023

    Third Quarter 2024 vs. Third Quarter 2023

    Noninterest expense increased $1.2 million, or 10.3%, primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits, and data processing and communication.

    • Salaries and employee benefits increased $1.0 million, primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits to support our growth and a lower accrual on employee incentives in the third quarter of 2023.
    • Data processing and communication increased $265 thousand, primarily due to additional expense to support our continued growth and a lower expense in the third quarter of 2023 from a credit received on data processing fees.

    Income Tax Expense

    Third Quarter 2024 vs. Second Quarter 2024

    Income tax expense was $2.1 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 28.3%, compared to income tax expense of $2.1 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 28.2%.

    Third Quarter 2024 vs. Third Quarter 2023

    As of September 30, 2024 vs. June 30, 2024

    Total deposits were $2.06 billion as of September 30, 2024, reflecting an increase of $123.8 million from June 30, 2024, primarily due to increases of $69.4 million in time deposits and $43.3 million in noninterest-bearing deposits. Customers' preference for high-rate deposit products continued to drive the increase in time deposits. The increase in noninterest-bearing deposits was mostly driven by balance increases in existing customers, including escrow and 1031 exchanges accounts. The composition of noninterest-bearing deposits also increased to 27.2% of total deposits from 26.7%.

    As of September 30, 2024 vs. September 30, 2023

    Total deposits were $2.06 billion as of September 30, 2024, up $239.4 million from September 30, 2023, primarily driven by a $288.8 million increase in time deposits, offset by decreases of $43.7 million in noninterest-bearing deposits and $5.7 million in money market deposits. Noninterest-bearing deposits, as a percentage of total deposits, decreased to 27.2% from 33.2%. The composition shift to time deposits was primarily due to customers' preference for high-rate deposit products driven by market rate increases as a result of the Federal Reserve's rate increases.

    Capital and Capital Ratios

    On October 24, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share of its common stock. The cash dividend is payable on or about November 21, 2024 to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 7, 2024. The payment of the dividend is based primarily on dividends from the Bank to the Company, and future dividends will depend on the Board's assessment of the availability of capital levels to support the ongoing operating capital needs of both the Company and the Bank.

    The Company also repurchased 4,610 shares of its common stock at an average price of $10.09 per share during the third quarter of 2024 under the stock repurchase program announced in August 2023. Since the announcement of the stock repurchase program in August 2023, the Company repurchased a total of 428,628 shares of its common stock at an average repurchase price of $9.37 per share through September 30, 2024.

    CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

    Certain matters set forth herein constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including forward-looking statements relating to the Company's current business plans and expectations regarding future operating results. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those projected. These risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control, include, but are not limited to: the effects of substantial fluctuations in, and continuing elevated levels of, interest rates on our borrowers' ability to perform in accordance with the terms of their loans and on our deposit customers' expectation for higher rates on deposit products; cybersecurity risks, including the potential for the occurrence of successful cyberattacks and our ability to prevent and to mitigate the harms resulting from any such attacks; infrastructure risks and similar circumstances that affect our and our customers' ability to communicate and to engage in routine online banking activities; business and economic conditions, particularly those affecting the financial services industry and our primary market areas; risks of international conflict, terrorism, civil unrest and domestic instability; the continuing effects of inflation and monetary policies, particularly those relating to the decisions and indicators of intent expressed by the Federal Reserve Open Markets Committee, as those circumstances impact our operations and our current and prospective borrowers and depositors; our ability to balance deposit liabilities and liquidity sources (including our ability to reprice those instruments and balancing our borrowings and investments to keep pace with changing market conditions) so as to meet current and expected withdrawals while promoting strong earning capacity; our ability to manage our credit risk successfully and to assess, adjust and monitor the sufficiency of our allowance for credit losses; factors that can impact the performance of our loan portfolio, including real estate values and liquidity in our primary market areas, the financial health of our commercial borrowers, the success of construction projects that we finance, including any loans acquired in acquisition transactions; the impacts of credit quality on our earnings and the related effects of increases to the reserve on our net income; our ability effectively to execute our strategic plan and manage our growth; interest rate fluctuations, which could have an adverse effect on our profitability; external economic and/or market factors, such as changes in monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including inflation or deflation, changes in the demand for loans, and fluctuations in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits, which may have an adverse impact on our financial condition; continued or increasing competition from other banks and from credit unions and non-bank financial services companies, many of which are subject to less restrictive or less costly regulations than we are; challenges arising from unsuccessful attempts to expand into new geographic markets, products, or services; practical and regulatory constraints on the ability of Open Bank to pay dividends to us; increased capital requirements imposed by banking regulators, which may require us to raise capital at a time when capital is not available on favorable terms or at all; a failure in the internal controls we have implemented to address the risks inherent to the business of banking; including internal controls that affect the reliability of our publicly reported financial statements; inaccuracies in our assumptions about future events, which could result in material differences between our financial projections and actual financial performance, particularly with respect to the effects of predictions of future economic conditions as those circumstances affect our estimates for the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses and the related provision expense; changes in our management personnel or our inability to retain motivate and hire qualified management personnel; disruptions, security breaches, or other adverse events, failures or interruptions in, or attacks on, our information technology systems; disruptions, security breaches, or other adverse events affecting the third-party vendors who perform several of our critical processing functions; an inability to keep pace with the rate of technological advances due to a lack of resources to invest in new technologies; risks related to potential acquisitions; political developments, uncertainties or instability, catastrophic events, or natural disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, drought, pandemic diseases (such as the coronavirus) or extreme weather events, any of which may affect services we use or affect our customers, employees or third parties with which we conduct business; incremental costs and obligations associated with operating as a public company; the impact of any claims or legal actions to which we may be subject, including any effect on our reputation; compliance with governmental and regulatory requirements, including the Dodd-Frank Act and others relating to banking, consumer protection, securities and tax matters, and our ability to maintain licenses required in connection with commercial mortgage origination, sale and servicing operations; changes in federal tax law or policy; and our ability the manage the foregoing and other factors set forth in the Company's public reports. We describe these and other risks that could affect our results in Item 1A. "Risk Factors," of our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and in our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
