Heritage Commerce Corp Reports Earnings of $10.6 Million for the Second Quarter of 2020

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 23, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Heritage Commerce Corp (Nasdaq: HTBK), the holding company (the “Company”) for Heritage Bank of Commerce (the “Bank”), today announced second quarter 2020 net income of $10.6 million, or $0.18 per average diluted common share, compared to $11.4 million, or $0.26 per average diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2019, and $1.9 million, or $0.03 per average diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2020.  For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net income was $12.5 million, or $0.21 per average diluted common share, compared to $23.5 million, or $0.54 per average diluted common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2019. All results are unaudited.

“Our results improved in the second quarter of 2020; however, the ongoing impact of the Coronavirus pandemic continues to weigh heavily on our communities and market,” said Keith A. Wilton, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We benefitted from a 5% sequential quarter growth in loan balances during the second quarter of 2020, which primarily resulted from the addition of $324.6 million in Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans that funded during the quarter. These loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA. In addition, total deposits increased 16% in the second quarter of 2020 from the first quarter 2020 as a result of $533.6 million growth in deposits, primarily tied to deposits from customers that took out PPP loans.  As expected, our net interest margin came under pressure from two Federal Reserve rate cuts in March of this year, but also from lower yields on newly funded PPP loans. Credit quality improved on a sequential quarter basis, as nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) declined ($3.0) million, or (25%) at June 30, 2020 to $9.1 million, from $12.1 million at March 31, 2020, and classified assets decreased to $31.5 million from $39.6 million.”

“Notwithstanding the ongoing impact of the pandemic, we believe that our healthy capital and liquidity positions, strong earnings power, and conservative credit culture will serve us well through these challenging times,” said Mr. Wilton.  “I also would like to thank our employees across the Company for their ongoing hard work and dedication to our customers.”

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Weighs on Local Communities and Our Economy

In mid-March, public health departments in the six largest counties in the San Francisco Bay Area, which account for most of the bank’s market footprint, imposed strict “Shelter-in-Place” orders for all residents.  A few days later, the State of California issued a similar statewide order.  Bay Area Counties and the state extended these orders through April, before easing restrictions in May and June. Following a resurgence in cases, on June 19, 2020, the state announced new health guidelines requiring the use of face coverings  when in public or common spaces. On July 13, 2020, California expanded statewide indoor closures for businesses, encouraged the wearing of face masks and discouraged the gathering of individuals beyond immediate households.  The Company has closely monitored the toll from the pandemic, including its economic impact. While the local response to COVID-19 appeared to have initially helped limit its spread, case numbers are once again increasing and the overall impact on our local economy may not be fully known.  Since February, new jobless claims in California, through the week of July 11,  totaled over 8.2 million, while the state has lost a net 2.6 million jobs (14.0%). In the seven Bay Area counties we serve, 423,000 jobs (11.8%) have been lost. The State’s unemployment rate at the end of June stood at 15.1%, up from 5.3% at the end of March, while the unemployment rate in the seven Bay Area counties we serve increased to 12.0% from 3.4%. 

At the end of March, Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) which included $349 billion in funding for the SBA PPP Loan Program.  By mid-April, the Bank had processed 597 PPP loan applications with potential outstanding balances of $225.3 million.  On April 23, 2020, Congress passed separate economic stimulus legislation, which provided an additional $310 billion in funding for the PPP Loan Program that the Company was also able to utilize to further support our small business clients.  In all, the Bank processed a total of 1,105 PPP loan applications, with total principal balances of $333.4 million.  PPP loan pay offs totaled $8.8 million during the second quarter of 2020, and the Company ended the quarter with $324.6 million in outstanding PPP loan balances.  These generated $582,000 in interest income and $722,000 in deferred fees, which was partially offset by ($54,000) in deferred costs expensed during the quarter.  At June 30, 2020, total loans included deferred fees on PPP loans of $10.4 million and deferred costs of $1.2 million.  PPP borrowers who can demonstrate that the funding received has been used for certain purposes such as to cover payroll and rent costs and meet certain other requirements, can qualify for partial or full federal relief on loan principal and interest.  At present, the qualifying process for PPP borrowers to receive approval for loan forgiveness has yet to be finalized by the SBA.  Nonqualifying borrowers or borrowers who have not applied for forgiveness, who received loans under the CARES Act, are contractually obligated to begin making monthly repayments on principal and interest six months after their loans have funded.

Also in March 2020, in conjunction with the passage of the CARES Act, federal bank regulators announced new accounting guidance for loan modifications by banks, which is intended to provide temporary credit accommodation through loan payment deferrals for customers whose businesses have experienced economic hardship due to the impact of the Coronavirus.  The guidance also allows for the temporary suspension of requirements for such loans to be classified as troubled debt restructurings ("TDR") for accounting purposes. In response to customers’ needs, the Company made accommodations for initial payment deferrals of up to 90 days, generally, with the potential, upon application, for up to an additional 90 days of payment deferral (180 days maximum). The Company also waived all normal applicable fees. The following table shows the deferments at June 30, 2020 by category:

DEFERMENTS BY CATEGORY
(in $000’s, unaudited)
Pass and Watch		$	31,369
Special Mention			145,930
Classified			5,563
Total		$	182,862

Through June 30, 2020, the Company had approved 235 initial requests for payment deferrals on loans with balances totaling approximately $183 million, or 7%, of our loan portfolio.  The Bank has elected to initially downgrade the risk grades of these loans to “Special Mention” status.  At the end of the second quarter of 2020, the pool of deferred loans in our portfolio were mostly tied to business borrowers from a broad range of industries and included $34 million in loan deferments to the healthcare industry (mostly dentists) and $23 million in loan deferments to the accommodation and food services industries (mostly hotels and restaurants).   Of the $183 million in deferred loans, 71% are supported by some form of real estate. Commercial real estate (“CRE”) deferments of $113 million included $75 million of investor CRE and $38 million of owner-occupied CRE. Deferred loans secured by CRE had an average loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio of 41% at the end of the second quarter of 2020.  The majority of deferred loans are also supported by personal guarantees.  Between July 1 to July 15, 2020, $32 million in deferred loans returned to regular payment status and have been upgraded from Special Mention status.   In addition to these previously mentioned deferred loans, we have purchased participations in a micro loan portfolio that had $3.3 million in deferments as of the end of the second quarter of 2020. 

The Bank had a portfolio of SBA 7(a) loans totaling $48.6 million, or 1.8% of its total loans, as of the end of the second quarter of 2020.  As part of the SBA’s Coronavirus debt relief efforts, beginning in the April 2020, the SBA commenced a six-month program to cover payments of principal, interest and any associated fees for these borrowers.

In regard to our new lease agreement for 54,910 square feet of office space in San Jose, California, which was entered into in 2019 and commenced on February 1, 2020, with recent easing of California’s and Santa Clara County’s Coronavirus related Shelter-in-Place restrictions, the Company now anticipates completing the move of its main office and San Jose branch to this new location by the end of the third quarter of 2020. 

Credit Quality and Performance

At June 30, 2020, NPAs decreased by ($7.9) million, or 46%, to $9.1 million, compared to $17.0 million at the end of the second quarter of 2019, and decreased by ($3.0) million, or 25% from $12.1 million at the end of the first quarter of 2020.  Classified assets increased to $31.5 million, or 0.68% of total assets, at June 30, 2020, compared to $31.2 million, or 1.00% of total assets, at June 30, 2019, and decreased from $39.6 million, or 0.97% of total assets, at March 31, 2020.  The linked quarter decrease in classified assets for the second quarter of 2020, compared to the first quarter of 2020, resulted from multiple loan payoffs and paydowns that were partially offset by loan downgrades.  Classified deferments totaled $5.6 million at the end of the second quarter of 2020.  Special Mention loans increased to $164 million, or by $115 million, in the second quarter of 2020, compared to $49 million in the first quarter of 2020.  Special Mention included $146 million in deferments and $18 million in other Special Mention loans at June 30, 2020, compared to $24 million in deferments and $25 million in other Special Mention loans at March 31, 2020. As previously noted, the Bank has opted to initially grade loan deferments as Special Mention and these grades will remain until loan payment performance resumes and/or information gained is sufficient to warrant a grade change.  Also as mentioned above, between July 1 to July 15, 2020, $32 million in deferred loans had returned to regular payment status and have been upgraded from Special Mention status.  Exclusive of deferred loans at June 30, 2020, the $7 million decrease in other Special Mention loans from the linked quarter resulted from movement of numerous loans between grades with upgrade totals outweighing downgrades totals, some of which included loans that had been provided a deferment and have since been upgraded.  Notably, many of our borrowers paid down their operating lines of credit during the second quarter of 2020.  Consequently, the line utilization rate on commercial lines of credit declined to 27% at the end of the second quarter from 36% at the end of the first quarter of 2020 and 40% at the end of the second quarter of 2019.

The provision for credit losses on loans was $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2020, compared to a credit to the provision for loan losses of ($740,000) for the second quarter of 2019, and a provision for credit losses on loans of $13.3 million for the first quarter of 2020. The provision for credit losses on loans was $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to a ($1.8) million credit to the provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2019. At June 30, 2020, the allowance for credit losses on loans (“ACLL”) was $45.4 million, representing 1.69% of total loans, and 498.0% of nonperforming loans.  The allowance for loan losses ("ALLL") was $26.6 million at June 30, 2019, representing 1.42% of total loans and 156.5%, of nonperforming loans. The ACLL was $44.7 million at March 31, 2020, representing 1.75% of total loans, and 369.8% of nonperforming loans.  The six basis points linked-quarter decline of the ACLL to total loans was largely due to the 5% increase in total loans for the second quarter of 2020, which primarily resulted from $324.6 million in new PPP loans with 100% SBA guarantees that do not require reserves.  The pro forma ACLL to loans excluding PPP loans was 1.92% at June 30, 2020. The increase in the provision for credit losses on loans for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, was driven primarily by the deteriorating economic outlook resulting from the Coronavirus pandemic. 

The Company continues to monitor portfolio loans made to commercial customers with businesses in higher risk sectors as defined by the Company. The following table provides a breakdown of such loans as a percentage of total loans at June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020:

		% of Total			% of Total

During the second quarter, the Company added education-related loans to those it had previously identified as at higher risk of credit loss.  During the quarter, the percentage of loans to higher risk sectors increased linked quarter to 16.5% from 13.9% as a result of $91 million, or 3.4%, in new SBA PPP loan fundings to commercial clients in higher risk sectors.     

“In our initial response to the challenges posed by the Coronavirus pandemic last quarter, we implemented extensive business resumption plans, procedures and redundant systems which enabled 75% of our employees to work remotely, but still have access to the resources needed to fully assist our clients with their banking needs,” added Mr. Wilton. “We cannot fully express our pride and gratitude for the efforts and accomplishments of our employees this quarter. The effort and resolve shown by our banking and credit teams was critical in enabling so many of our customers to address their banking needs and access PPP loan fundings.  In addition, our branch teams have been thorough and meticulous in implementing the public safety protocols required to safely meet the needs of visiting customers. All branches remain open to serve our customers and communities in accordance with the Coronavirus safety guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) and the California Department of Public Health (“CDPH”).”

Capital and Liquidity

“Our regulatory capital position serves as the foundation of our bank’s financial condition and the basis of security for our banking customers. At June 30, 2020, the regulatory capital positions of both the Company and Bank remained healthy,” stated Mr. Wilton.  “Our Total Risk-Based capital ratio and Leverage ratio for the Company was 15.9% and 9.4%, respectively, and 15.1% and 9.8%, respectively, for the Bank.” 

Our liquidity position refers to our ability to maintain cash flows sufficient to fund operations, to meet all of our obligations and commitments, and unexpected sudden changes in levels of its loans and deposits in a timely manner. At June 30, 2020, the Company had a strong liquidity position with $925.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, and approximately $664.7 million in available borrowing capacity from sources including the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRB”), Federal funds facilities with several financial institutions, and a line of credit with a correspondent bank. The Company also had $610.6 million (at fair market value) in unpledged securities available at June 30, 2020. Our loan to deposit ratio decreased to 68.88% at June 30, 2020, compared to 71.60% at June 30, 2019, and 75.86% at March 31, 2020.  Mr. Wilton remarked in closing, “We believe that our robust capital base, historically elevated liquidity position, diversified loan portfolio, and reserve for credit losses positions us to react quickly and decisively in addressing challenges related to the economic impact of the Coronavirus pandemic that may arise in future quarters.”

• Net interest income, before provision for credit losses on loans, increased 13% to $34.9 million for the second quarter of 2020, compared to $30.9 million for the second quarter of 2019, primarily due to an increase in the average balance of loans due to the Presidio Bank (“Presidio”) merger, additional interest and fee income from PPP loans, and an increase in the accretion of the loan discount into loan interest income from our merger with Presidio during the fourth quarter of 2019, partially offset by decreases in the prime interest rate and decreases in the yield on investment securities and overnight funds.  Net interest income for the second quarter of 2020 decreased (9%) from $38.6 million for the first quarter of 2020, primarily due to decreases in the prime rate and declines in the yields on investment securities and overnight funds, partially offset by additional interest and fee income from PPP loans. Net interest income increased 19% to $73.5 million for the first six months of 2020, compared to $62.0 million for the first six months of 2019, primarily due to an increase in the average balance of loans due to the Presidio merger, additional interest and fee income from PPP loans, and an increase in the accretion of the loan discount into loan interest income from our merger with Presidio, partially offset by decreases in the prime rate, and decreases in the yield on investment securities and overnight funds.
  
  
  • The fully tax equivalent (“FTE”) net interest margin contracted 92 basis points to 3.46% for the second quarter of 2020, from 4.38% for the second quarter of 2019, primarily due to a decline in the average yield of loans, investment securities, and overnight funds, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of loans, additional interest and fee income from PPP loans, and an increase in the accretion of the loan discount into loan interest income from our merger with Presidio.  The FTE net interest margin contracted 79 basis points for the second quarter of 2020 from 4.25% for the first quarter of 2020, primarily due to a decline in the average yield on loans, investment securities, and overnight funds, and a decrease in the accretion of the loan discount into loan interest income from our merger with Presidio, partially offset by additional interest and fee income from PPP loans.
    
    
  • For the first six months of 2020, the FTE net interest margin contracted 55 basis points to 3.83%, compared to 4.38% for the first six months of 2019, primarily due to the impact of decreases in the yields on loans, investment securities, and overnight funds, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of loans, additional interest and fee income from PPP loans, and an increase in the accretion of the loan discount into loan interest income from our merger with Presidio.

• The following tables present the average balance of loans outstanding, interest income, and the average yield for the periods indicated:
  
  
  • The average yield on the total loan portfolio decreased to 4.92% for the second quarter of 2020, compared to 5.96% for the second quarter of 2019, primarily due to a decline in the average yield on loans and new average balances of lower yielding PPP loans, partially offset by an increase in the accretion of the loan purchase discount into loan interest income from the acquisitions.

• The total net purchase discount on loans from the Focus Business Bank loan portfolio was $5.4 million on the acquisition date of August 20, 2015, of which $366,000 remains outstanding as of June 30, 2020.  The total net purchase discount on loans from the Tri-Valley Bank loan portfolio was $2.6 million on the acquisition date of April 6, 2018, of which $1.2 million remains outstanding as of June 30, 2020.  The total net purchase discount on loans from the United American Bank loan portfolio was $4.7 million on the acquisition date of May 4, 2018, of which $2.3 million remains outstanding as of June 30, 2020.  The total net purchase discount on loans from the Presidio loan portfolio was $12.5 million on the Presidio merger date of October 11, 2019 (the “merger date”), of which $10.1 million remains outstanding as of June 30, 2020.  In aggregate, the remaining net purchase discount on total loans acquired was $14.0 million at June 30, 2020.
  

• The average cost of total deposits was 0.17% for the second of 2020, compared to 0.31% for the second quarter of 2019 and 0.22% for the first quarter of 2020. The average cost of total deposits was 0.19% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 0.30% for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
  
  
• There was a $1.1 million provision for credit losses on loans for the second quarter of 2020, compared to a credit to the provision for loan losses of ($740,000) for the second quarter of 2019, and a $13.3 million provision for credit losses on loans for the first quarter of 2020.  There was a $14.4 million provision for credit losses on loans for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to a ($1.8) million credit to the provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
  
  
  • The increase in the provision for credit losses on loans for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, was driven primarily by a significantly deteriorated economic outlook resulting from the Coronavirus pandemic. Most major economic forecasts, including the California Economic Forecast (“CEF”) show a significant decline in California GDP and a substantial rise in unemployment for 2020.  At January 1, 2020, the forecast for California GDP for 2020 was an annual increase in the low single digits and the forecasted California unemployment rate for 2020 was in the mid-single digits.   In June 2020, the CEF forecast was revised for GDP in the negative low single digits and peak unemployment in the low double digits.  The three loan classes where the largest increases in reserves were recorded under the CECL loss rate methodology were investor-owned commercial real estate (“CRE”), construction & land, and commercial and industrial (“C&I”).  Ongoing impacts of the CECL methodology will be dependent upon changes in economic conditions and forecasts, originated and acquired loan portfolio composition, portfolio duration, and other factors.
    
    
• Total noninterest income decreased to $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2020, compared to $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2019, primarily due to lower service charges and fees on deposit accounts, and lower gains on sales of securities.  Total noninterest income decreased for the second quarter of 2020 from $3.2 million for the first quarter of 2020, primarily due to a $791,000 gain on the disposition of foreclosed assets during the first quarter of 2020, and lower service charges and fees on deposit accounts during the second quarter of 2020.
  
  
  • For the six months ended June 30, 2020, total noninterest income increased to $5.3 million, compared to $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily as a result of a gain on disposition of foreclosed assets, partially offset by lower service charges and fees on loans during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
    
    
• Total noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2020 increased to $21.0 million, compared to $18.4 million for the second quarter of 2019, primarily due to additional employees and operating costs added as a result of the Presidio merger, and higher salaries and employee benefits as a result of annual salary increases. Total noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2020 declined by ($4.8) million from $25.8 million for the first quarter of 2020, due to reduced merger-related costs for the Presidio merger compared to the first quarter of 2020, higher than usual deferred cost resulting from the PPP loans, and the impact of cost savings for the full second quarter of 2020 following the Presidio systems conversion during the first quarter of 2020.
  
  
  • Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased to $46.8 million, compared to $36.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits as a result of annual salary increases, and additional employees and operating costs added as a result of the Presidio merger.
    
    
  • Earnings were reduced by pre-tax merger-related costs related to the merger with Presidio for the periods indicated as follows: 

		For the Quarter Ended									For the Six Months Ended
MERGER-RELATED COSTS		June 30,			March 31,			June 30,			June 30,			June 30,

Total merger-related costs		$	59		$	2,424		$	540		$	2,483		$	540

• Full time equivalent employees were 340 at June 30, 2020, 309 at June 30, 2019, and 337 at March 31, 2020.
  

• The efficiency ratio was 56.76% for the second quarter of 2020, compared to 54.76% for the second quarter of 2019, and 61.70% for the first quarter of 2020. The efficiency ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was 59.38%, compared to 54.12% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. 
  
  
• Income tax expense was $4.3 million for the second quarter of 2020, compared to $4.6 million for the second quarter of 2019, and $868,000 for the first quarter of 2020. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2020 was 28.7%, compared to 28.9% for the second quarter of 2019, and 31.8% for the first quarter of 2020.  The higher effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2020 was primarily due to an increase in tax expense for forfeited stock options and merger-related stock options.  The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2020 would have been 26.8% without these items. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $5.1 million, compared to $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was 29.2%, compared to 28.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. 
  
  
  • The difference in the effective tax rate for the periods reported compared to the combined Federal and state statutory tax rate of 29.6% is primarily the result of the Company’s investment in life insurance policies whose earnings are not subject to taxes, tax credits related to investments in low income housing limited partnerships (net of low income housing investment losses), and tax-exempt interest income earned on municipal bonds.

Balance Sheet Review, Capital Management and Credit Quality:

• Total assets increased 48% to $4.61 billion at June 30, 2020, compared to $3.11 billion at June 30, 2019, primarily due to the Presidio merger and the addition of PPP loans. Total assets increased 13% from $4.08 billion at March 31, 2020, primarily due to the addition of PPP loans and the related deposits.
  
  
• Securities available-for-sale, at fair value, totaled $323.6 million at June 30, 2020, compared to $383.2 million at June 30, 2019, and $373.6 million at March 31, 2020.  At June 30, 2020, the Company’s securities available-for-sale portfolio was comprised of $232.4 million of agency mortgage-backed securities (all issued by U.S. Government sponsored entities), and $91.2 million of U.S. Treasury securities. The pre-tax unrealized gain on securities available-for-sale at June 30, 2020 was $8.7 million, compared to a pre-tax unrealized gain on securities available-for-sale of $915,000 at June 30, 2019, and a pre-tax unrealized gain on securities available-for-sale of $9.4 million at March 31, 2020.  All other factors remaining the same, when market interest rates are rising, the Company will experience a lower unrealized gain (or a higher unrealized loss) on the securities portfolio.
  
  
  • During the second quarter of 2020, the Company sold $29.9 million of US Treasury securities available-for-sale, at a gain of $159,000.
    
    
• At June 30, 2020, securities held-to-maturity, at amortized cost, totaled $322.7 million, compared to $351.4 million at June 30, 2019, and $348.0 million at March 31, 2020.  At June 30, 2020, the Company’s securities held-to-maturity portfolio was comprised of $249.1 million of agency mortgage-backed securities, and $73.6 million of tax-exempt municipal bonds.
  
  
  • During the second quarter of 2020, $7.0 million of municipal bonds held-to-maturity were called, with a gain on sale of securities of $11,000.
    
    
  • As of the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) methodology implementation date of January 1, 2020, there was a $58,000 allowance for losses recorded on the Company’s held-to-maturity municipal investment securities portfolio.  For the six months ended June 30, 2020, there was a reduction of $3,000 to the allowance for losses on the Company’s held-to-maturity municipal investment securities portfolio, for an allowance for losses of $55,000 at June 30, 2020.
