"We are pleased with our fourth quarter and full-year performance. Our results reflect our solid business strategy of strong relationship banking, which continues to provide strong loan funding opportunities and stable operating performance that has positioned us well to overcome the continued economic uncertainties," said Henry Kim, President and Chief Executive Officer. "PCB's performance for the fourth quarter of 2023 benefited from strong loan growth and higher yields on interest-earning assets. However, the continued higher interest rate environment and its effect on our funding costs resulted in moderate compression in net interest margin during the quarter. During the quarter loan balance increased 7.1% to $2.3 billion, deposit balance increased 7.3% to $2.4 billion, and we continue to maintain very strong credit metrics with ACL to loans ratio of 1.19%, and non-performing assets and classified assets to total assets ratios of 0.23% and 0.34%, respectively."

Mr. Kim added, "As we look ahead in 2024, PCB is well positioned to continue delivering solid results with emphasis on strong balance sheet and sound asset quality with robust capital levels that are above our peers to operate in all economic cycles and changing market conditions."

(1)		Total funding is the sum of interest-bearing liabilities and noninterest-bearing deposits. The cost of total funding is calculated as annualized total interest expense divided by average total funding.

Loans. The increases in average yield for the current quarter compared with the previous and year-ago quarters were primarily due to increases in overall interest rates on loans from the rising interest rate environment and net amortization of deferred loan fees from the increased amount of prepayment penalties. The increase in average yield for the current year compared with the previous year was primarily due to the increase in overall interest rates on loans, partially offset by decreases in net accretion of discount on loans and net amortization of deferred loan fees from the decreased amount of SBA PPP loan payoffs.

The following table presents a composition of total loans by interest rate type accompanied with the weighted-average contractual rates as of the dates indicated:

	12/31/2023				9/30/2023				12/31/2022
	% to Total Loans		Weighted-Average Contractual Rate		% to Total Loans		Weighted-Average Contractual Rate		% to Total Loans		Weighted-Average Contractual Rate

Variable rate loans	39.8	%	8.51	%	38.8	%	8.52	%	37.7	%	7.86	%

Investment Securities. The increases in average yield for the current quarter and year were primarily due to a decrease in net amortization of premiums on securities and higher yield on newly purchased investment securities.

Other Interest-Earning Assets. The increases in average yield for the current quarter and year were primarily due to an increased interest rate on cash held at the Federal Reserve Bank and an increase in dividend received on Federal Home Loan Bank stock.

Interest-Bearing Deposits. The increases in average cost for the current quarter and year were primarily due to an increase in market rates and the migration of noninterest-bearing demand deposits to interest-bearing deposits attributable to the rising market rates. To retain existing and attract new customers, the Bank offers competitive rates on deposit products.

(1)		Provision for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures for year-ago quarter and previous year were recorded in Other Expense on Consolidated Statements of Income (Unaudited).

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 326, also known as the current expected credit losses ("CECL") accounting standard, through the application of the modified retrospective transition approach. Provision (reversal) for credit losses and ACL for reporting periods beginning with January 1, 2023 are presented under ASC 326, while prior period comparisons continue to be presented under legacy ASC 450 and ASC 310 in this release. See CECL Adoption and Allowance for Credit Losses sections included in the Balance Sheet section of this release for additional information.

The provision for credit losses on loans for the current quarter was primarily due to an increase in loan held-for-investment.

Salaries and Employee Benefits. The decrease for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to a decrease in vacation accrual, partially offset by increases in salaries and other employee benefit expense, and incentives tied to sales of SBA loans originated at loan production offices. The increase for the current quarter compared with the year-ago quarter was primarily due to increases in salaries and other employee benefit expense, partially offset by a decrease in vacation accrual. The increase for the current year compared with the previous year was primarily due to increases in salaries and other employee benefit expense, partially offset by decreases in bonus and vacation accruals, and incentives tied to sales of SBA loans originated at loan production offices. The number of full-time equivalent employees was 270, 270 and 272 as of December 31, 2023, September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Occupancy and Equipment. The increases for the current quarter compared with the previous and year-ago quarters were primarily due to expansions of headquarters and relocation of a regional office and branches. The Company plans to relocate and consolidate a regional office and two branches into one location in Orange County, California in 2024. The increase for the current year compared with the previous year was primarily due to the expansions of headquarters and the relocation of a regional office and branches, as well as 3 new branch openings during the second half of 2022. The Company opened 3 new full-service branches in Dallas and Carrollton, Texas and Palisades Park, New Jersey during the second half of 2022.

Professional Fees. The increases for the current quarter and year were primarily due to increases in consulting and internal audit fees for enhancing internal controls and process, and professional fees related to a planned core system conversion.

Marketing and Business Promotion. The decrease for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to the Company's 20^th anniversary celebration during the previous quarter.

Director Fees and Expenses. The increase for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to additional expenses related to stock options issued to directors during the current quarter.

Regulatory Assessments. The increases for the current quarter and year compared with the same periods of 2022 were due to an increase in FDIC assessment rates. The FDIC increased the initial base deposit insurance assessment rate schedules by two basis points beginning in the first quarterly assessment period of 2023.

Other Expense. The increase for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to increases in office expense and loan related expense. The increase for the current year was primarily due to increases in office expenses and armed guard expenses from the branch network expansion. Provision for credit losses on off-balance credit exposures of $57 thousand and $85 thousand was included in other expense for the year-ago quarter and previous year, respectively, while the provision (reversal) for the current reporting periods beginning January 1, 2023 was included in provision (reversal) for credit losses.

Balance Sheet (Unaudited)

Total assets were $2.79 billion at December 31, 2023, an increase of $221.5 million, or 8.6%, from $2.57 billion at September 30, 2023, and an increase of $369.5 million, or 15.3%, from $2.42 billion at December 31, 2022. The increases for the current quarter and year were primarily due to increases in cash and cash equivalents, loans held-for-investment and operating lease assets. The increase in operating lease assets was primarily due to renewal and additional leases of the Company's headquarters and a new location for the relocation of a regional office and branches.

CECL Adoption

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 326 through the application of the modified retrospective transition approach. The initial adjustment to the ACL reflects the expected lifetime credit losses associated with the composition of financial assets within the scope of ASC 326 as of January 1, 2023, as well as management's current expectation of future economic conditions. The Company recorded a net decrease of $1.9 million to the beginning balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2023 for the cumulative effect adjustment, reflecting an initial adjustment to the ACL on loans of $1.1 million and the ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures of $1.6 million, net of related deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of $788 thousand. As a part of the adoption of ASC 326, the Company reviewed and revised certain loan segments for the Company's ACL model. See Loan Segments Revision section of this release for a reconciliation of revised loan segments to legacy loan segments, which were utilized before the adoption of ASC 326.

Loan Segments Revision (Unaudited)
($ in thousands)

As a part of the adoption of ASC 326, the Company reviewed and revised certain loan segments for the Company's ACL model. Before the adoption of ASC 326, commercial property and SBA property loans were separately presented and represented 63.0% and 6.6% of loans held-for-investment at December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company re-divided these loan segments into commercial property (non-owner occupied), business property (owner occupied) and multifamily loans as these new loan segments are determined to share similar characteristics under the Company's ACL model. In addition, four loan segments before the adoption of ASC 326 (commercial term loans, commercial lines of credit, SBA term loans and SBA PPP loans), which represented 12.2% of loans held-for-investment at December 31, 2022, are combined into a single loan segment, commercial and industrial loans, as these loans are determined to share similar risk characteristics under the Company's ACL model. In this release, loan segments on loan related disclosures for prior period comparisons are revised accordingly in order to be comparable to the Company's new loan segments.

The following table presents a reconciliation of revised loan segments to legacy loan segments, which were utilized before the adoption of ASC 326:

Return on average tangible common equity, tangible common equity per common share and tangible common equity to total assets ratios

The Company's TCE is calculated by subtracting preferred stock from shareholders' equity. The Company does not have any intangible assets for the presented periods. Return on average TCE, TCE per common share, and TCE to total assets constitute supplemental financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are used by management in its analysis of the Company's performance. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as substitutes for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP measures that may be presented by other companies. The following tables provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures with financial measures defined by GAAP.
