    OP Bancorp (the "Company") (NASDAQ:OPBK), the holding company of Open Bank (the "Bank"), today reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2025. Net income for the first quarter of 2025 was $5.6 million, or $0.37 per diluted common share, compared with $5.0 million, or $0.33 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2024, and $5.2 million, or $0.34 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2024.

    Min Kim, President and Chief Executive Officer:

    "We continued to grow our loans by 4.4% and deposits by 8.0% in this quarter while improving net interest margin by 5 basis points. This double-digit annualized growth in loans and deposits, combined with the net interest margin expansion, resulted in our strong performance for this quarter, reporting a 12% increase in diluted earnings per share over the previous quarter," said Min Kim, President and Chief Executive Officer. "While recently heightened uncertainties about economic conditions and interest rate directions are expected to affect the banking environment in the next few quarters, we remain optimistic about our future growth and performance and will continue to focus on executing our strategic goals."

    Annualized.

    (2)

    Includes discount accretion from SBA loan payoffs of $329 thousand, $329 thousand and $345 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

    (3)

    Includes prepayment penalty income of $45 thousand, $45 thousand and $115 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively, from Commercial Real Estate ("CRE") loans.

    First Quarter 2025 vs. Fourth Quarter 2024

    Net interest income increased $489 thousand, or 2.9%, primarily due to lower interest expense on interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by lower interest income on loans as our deposit costs repriced faster than our loan yields following the Federal Reserve's rate cuts from September 2024 through December 2024. Net interest margin was 3.01%, an increase of 5 basis points from 2.96%.

    • A $574 thousand decrease in interest expense on interest-bearing deposits was primarily due to a 29 basis point decrease in average cost of interest-bearing deposits.
    • A $40 thousand decrease in interest income on loans was primarily due to a 10 basis point decrease in average yield on loans.

    First Quarter 2025 vs. First Quarter 2024

    Net interest income increased $1.4 million, or 9.0%, as higher interest income from a $240.6 million, or 11.5%, increase in average earning assets (loans and interest-bearing deposits in other banks) surpassed higher interest expense from a $210.3 million, or 14.7%, increase in average interest-bearing liabilities (deposits and borrowings). Net interest margin, however, decreased 5 basis points to 3.01% from 3.06%, primarily due to a faster increase in average interest-bearing liabilities over average earnings assets and a faster repricing in deposits costs over loan yields.

    • A $1.5 million increase in interest income on loans was primarily due to a $196.1 million, or 10.8%, increase in average balance, partially offset by a 30 basis point decrease in average yield.
    • A $383 thousand increase in interest income on interest-bearing deposits in other banks was primarily due to a $51.0 million increase in average balance, partially offset by a 93 basis point decrease in average yield.
    • A $933 thousand increase in interest expense on interest-bearing deposits was primarily due to a $240.0 million, or 18.2%, increase in average balance, partially offset by a 46 basis point decrease in average cost.
    • A $426 thousand decrease in interest expense on borrowings was primarily due to a $30 million, or 27.4%, decrease in average balance and a 38 basis point decrease in average cost.

    Provision for credit losses on loans of $687 thousand was primarily due to an $87.0 million, or 4.4%, increase in loan balances. Home mortgage and CRE loans increased $43.0 million, or 4.4%, and $50.0 million, or 9.8%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2025.

    Provision of credit losses on off-balance sheet exposure of $49 thousand was primarily due to an increase in unfunded balance of loans.

    First Quarter 2025 vs. Fourth Quarter 2024

    Noninterest income increased $399 thousand, or 9.0%, primarily due to higher other income and loan servicing fees, partially offset by lower gain on sale of loans.

    • Other income was $790 thousand, an increase of $395 thousand from $395 thousand, primarily due to an increase in credit related fees collected and a decrease in unrealized loss of CRA-qualified mutual funds driven by market interest rate changes.
    • Loan servicing fees, net of amortization, were $1.0 million, an increase of $149 thousand from $858 thousand, primarily due to a decrease in servicing fee amortization driven by lower loan payoffs in loan servicing portfolio.
    • Gain on sale of loans was $2.0 million, a decrease of $178 thousand from $2.2 million, primarily due to a lower sold amount partially offset by a higher average premium on sales. The Bank sold $31.1 million in SBA loans at an average premium rate of 8.08%, compared to the sale of $34.7 million at an average premium rate of 7.82%.

    First Quarter 2025 vs. First Quarter 2024

    Noninterest income increased $1.2 million, or 34.3%, primarily due to higher service charges on deposits, loan servicing fees, gain on sale of loans, and other income.

    • Service charges on deposits were $1.0 million, an increase of $388 thousand from $612 thousand, primarily due to an increase in deposit analysis fees from an increase in the number of analysis accounts.
    • Loan servicing fees were $1.0 million, an increase of $235 thousand from $772 thousand, primarily due to a decrease in servicing fee amortization driven by lower loan payoffs in loan servicing portfolio.
    • Gain on sale of loans was $2.0 million, an increase of $316 thousand from $1.7 million, primarily due to a higher sold amount partially offset by a lower average premium rate. The Bank sold $31.1 million in SBA loans at an average premium rate of 8.08%, compared to the sale of $24.8 million at an average premium rate of 8.33%.
    • Other income was $790 thousand, an increase of $291 thousand from $499 thousand, primarily due to an increase in credit related fees collected and a decrease in unrealized loss of CRA-qualified mutual fund driven by market interest rate changes.

    Noninterest expense increased $681 thousand, or 5.2%, primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits and other expenses, partially offset by lower data processing and communication.

    • Salaries and employee benefits increased $499 thousand, primarily due to an increase in employee salaries as a result of an increase in our employee headcount to 240 from 231.
    • Other expenses increased $425 thousand, primarily due to an increase in credit related expenses.
    • Data processing and communication decreased $298 thousand, primarily due to a reduction in data processing expenses following our core banking system change completed in the fourth quarter of 2024.

    First Quarter 2025 vs. First Quarter 2024

    Noninterest expense increased $1.7 million, or 13.6%, primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits and other expenses, partially offset by lower data processing and communication.

    • Salaries and employee benefits increased $935 thousand, primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits as our employee headcount increased to 240 from 228.
    • Other expenses increased $816 thousand, primarily due to an increase in credit related expenses and an increase in customer services expenses related to the increase in the number of analysis accounts.
    • Data processing and communication decreased $191 thousand, primarily due to a reduction in data processing expenses following our core banking system change completed in the fourth quarter of 2024.

    Income Tax Expense

    First Quarter 2025 vs. Fourth Quarter 2024

    Income tax expense was $2.1 million, or an effective tax rate of 27.6%, compared to income tax expense of $1.7 million, or an effective tax rate of 25.4%. The increase in effective tax rate was primarily due to the absence of additional tax benefits from year-end tax provision adjustments in the fourth quarter of 2024.

    First Quarter 2025 vs. First Quarter 2024

    Income tax expense was $2.1 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 27.6%, compared to income tax expense of $2.0 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 28.0%. The decrease in effective tax rate was primarily due to tax benefits recognized from restricted stock awards vested in the first quarter of 2025.

    (2)

    Excludes the guaranteed portion of loans that are in liquidation totaling $17.2 million, $16.3 million and $3.1 million as of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

    (5)

    Includes loans held for sale.

    Overall, the Bank's nonperforming loans and net charge-offs remained relatively low. Our allowance remained adequate with an allowance to gross loans ratio of 1.24%.

    • Loans 30-89 days past due and still accruing were $6.5 million or 0.32% of gross loans as of March 31, 2025, compared with $9.0 million or 0.46% as of December 31, 2024.
    • Nonperforming loans were $10.4 million or 0.51% of gross loans as of March 31, 2025, compared with $7.8 million or 0.40% as of December 31, 2024. The increase of $2.6 million was primarily due to two home mortgage loans totaling $2.1 million. No loss is expected from the loans owing to sufficient equity in the collateral properties. One of the properties is currently in escrow for sale, and the other is listed on the market for sale.
    • Nonperforming assets were $11.6 million or 0.46% of total assets as of March 31, 2025, compared with $9.1 million or 0.38% as of December 31, 2024. OREO remained the same at $1.2 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, which is secured by a mix-use property in Los Angeles Koreatown.
    • Criticized loans were $23.1 million or 1.13% of gross loans as of March 31, 2025, compared with $19.6 million or 1.00% as of December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the aforementioned two home mortgage loans and an SBA loan extended to finance construction of a full-service restaurant in Santa Monica, CA, by an experienced multi-store restaurant owner/operator. The SBA loan is performing, but it was downgraded to Special Mention to account for a longer period needed to complete the construction.

    As of March 31, 2025 vs. December 31, 2024

    Total deposits were $2.19 billion as of March 31, 2025, reflecting an increase of $162.6 million or 8.0% from December 31, 2024, primarily due to increases of $47.9 million in noninterest-bearing deposits, $56.0 million in money market deposits, and $58.7 million in time deposits. Customers' preference for high-rate deposit products continued to drive the increase in time deposits and money market deposits. Even with the elevated uncertainty on economic and business outlook in the first quarter of 2025, noninterest-bearing deposits recovered fully from the temporary low balance as of December 31, 2024 continuing the upward trend started from January 2024.

    As of March 31, 2025 vs. March 31, 2024

    Total deposits were $2.19 billion as of March 31, 2025, an increase of $294.5 million from March 31, 2024, primarily driven by a $223.7 million increase in time deposits and a $57.4 million increase in money market deposits, and a $13.4 million increase in noninterest-bearing deposits. Noninterest-bearing deposits, as a percentage of total deposits, decreased to 25.2% from 28.5%. The composition shift to time deposits was primarily due to customers' continued preference for high-rate time deposit products in anticipation of the Federal Reserve's rate cuts in the next few years.

    Capital and Capital Ratios

    On April 24, 2025, 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 May 22, 2025 to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 8, 2025. 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 did not repurchase share of its common stock during the first quarter of 2025. Since the announcement of the stock repurchase program in August 2023, the Company has repurchased a total of 428,628 shares of our common stock at an average repurchase price of $9.37 per share through March 31, 2025.

    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 impacts of recent wildfires affecting the Los Angeles Basin, which have dramatically affected our customers, communities and employees, and which will have as-yet-unquantified effects upon the value of our loans, the adequacy of our loan loss reserves, and the value of the associated collateral; 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; the geographic concentration of our customer base and our earning assets; 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; our ability to protect and to use our trademarks and related intellectual property; 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 (including but not limited to the above-described wildfires affecting the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area), 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.
