CALIFORNIA BANCORP REPORTS NET INCOME OF $14.1 MILLION FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2025
San Diego, Calif., July 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- California BanCorp (“us,” “we,” “our,” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BCAL), the holding company for California Bank of Commerce, N.A. (the “Bank”) announces its consolidated financial results for the second quarter of 2025.
The Company reported net income of $14.1 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $16.9 million, or $0.52 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2025, and net income of $190 thousand, or $0.01 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2024.
“We are pleased to report strong second quarter earnings of $14.1 million, the third consecutive strong quarter of combined financial results since the close of our merger last July,” said David Rainer, Executive Chairman of the Company and Bank.
“Earlier this year we announced a strategy to derisk our consolidated balance sheet by decreasing our exposure in the Sponsor Finance portfolio, reducing our reliance on brokered deposits and improving overall credit quality. I am pleased to report that the Sponsor Finance portfolio continued to decline in the second quarter and we expect the remainder will likely run off by year end. The reduction in credit risk in our total loan portfolio is reflected in a significant decrease in our non-performing assets to total assets ratio to 0.46% from 0.68%, as well as a significant decrease in special mention and substandard loans from the prior quarter.
“During the second quarter we successfully completed the winding down of our brokered deposits. Going forward, we are focused on organic loan and deposit growth through our relationship-based business banking franchise and our footprint covering the biggest markets for small to medium-sized businesses in the state of California.”
“Our strong second quarter results are further evidence of our successful integration and the value of our combined operations,” said Steven Shelton, CEO of the Company and Bank. “We continue to monitor the effect of tariffs and trade negotiations on our clients and can report we do not expect to see an impact on client operations from those events. We have minimal exposure to international trade, although some of our clients do source materials from outside the country. However, we have observed that some clients have expressed hesitancy in initiating projects due to the uncertain economic environment. Regardless, we continue to develop new relationships across the state of California, providing all our clients with the outstanding high-touch, relationship-based service associated with California Bank of Commerce.”

Second Quarter Operating Results
Net Income
Net income for the second quarter of 2025 was $14.1 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, compared to $16.9 million, or $0.52 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2025. Pre-tax, pre-provision income (non-GAAP1) for the second quarter was $19.4 million, a decrease of $461 thousand from the prior quarter. The net income and diluted earnings per share decreases were largely driven by lower net interest income after reversal of credit losses, partially offset by higher noninterest income.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income for the second quarter of 2025 was $41.4 million, compared with $42.3 million in the prior quarter. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to a $1.0 million decrease in total interest and dividend income, partially offset by a $201 thousand decrease in total interest expense in the second quarter of 2025, as compared to the prior quarter. During the second quarter of 2025, loan interest income decreased by $1.6 million, including a decrease of $496 thousand of accretion income from the net purchase accounting discounts on acquired loans, partially offset by increases of $226 thousand in total debt securities income and $341 thousand in interest and dividend income from other financial institutions. The decrease in interest income was mainly due to decreases in average total loan balances. Average total interest-earning assets decreased $78.2 million in the second quarter of 2025, the result of a $117.4 million decrease in average total loans and a $21.0 million decrease in average deposits in other financial institutions, partially offset by a $25.0 million increase in average total debt securities and a $35.2 million increase in average Fed funds sold/resale agreements. The decrease in interest expense for the second quarter of 2025 was primarily due to a $239 thousand decrease in interest expense on interest-bearing deposits, the result of a $26.4 million decrease in average interest-bearing deposits and a 4 basis point decrease in average interest-bearing deposit costs in the second quarter of 2025.
Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2025 was 4.61%, compared with 4.65% in the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily related to a 5 basis point decrease in the total interest-earning assets yield, coupled with a 1 basis point increase in the cost of funds. The yield on total average interest-earning assets in the second quarter of 2025 was 6.21%, compared with 6.26% in the prior quarter. The yield on average total loans in the second quarter of 2025 was 6.58%, a decrease of 3 basis points from 6.61% in the prior quarter. Accretion income from the net purchase accounting discounts on acquired loans was $5.2 million, increasing the yield on average total loans by 69 basis points; the net amortization expense from the purchase accounting discounts on acquired subordinated debt and acquired time deposits premium increased the interest expense by $555 thousand, the combination of which increased the net interest margin by 51 basis points in the second quarter of 2025. In the prior quarter, accretion income from the net purchase accounting discounts on acquired loans was $5.7 million, increasing the yield on average total loans by 74 basis points; the net amortization expense from the purchase accounting discounts on acquired subordinated debt and acquired time deposits premium increased the interest expense by $526 thousand, the combination of which increased the net interest margin by 57 basis points.
Cost of funds for the second quarter of 2025 was 1.73%, a slight increase of 1 basis point from 1.72% in the prior quarter. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of 47 basis points in the cost of total borrowings, which was driven mostly by the decrease in average total borrowings of $2.9 million from the redemption of the $18 million subordinated notes in June, coupled with higher borrowing expense related to those subordinated notes converting to a floating-rate during the second quarter of 2025 and up to redemption, partially offset by a 4 basis point decrease in the cost of average interest-bearing deposits. The amortization expense of $560 thousand from the purchase accounting discounts on acquired subordinated debt contributed 7 basis points to the cost on total borrowings. Average noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased $76.1 million to $1.18 billion and represented 36.2% of total average deposits for the second quarter of 2025, compared with $1.26 billion and 37.4%, respectively, in the prior quarter; average interest-bearing deposits decreased $26.4 million to $2.08 billion during the second quarter of 2025. The total cost of deposits in the second quarter of 2025 was maintained at 1.59%,the same as the prior quarter. The cost of total interest-bearing deposits decreased 4 basis points primarily due to the Company’s ongoing strategy to pay off high cost brokered deposits and listing money market deposits in the second quarter of 2025.
Average total borrowings decreased $2.9 million to $67.2 million in the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to the redemption of the $18 million subordinated notes in June 2025. The average cost of total borrowings was 8.53% for the second quarter of 2025, up from 8.06% in the prior quarter.
Reversal of Credit Losses
The Company recorded a reversal of credit losses of $634 thousand for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $3.8 million in the prior quarter. Total net charge-offs were $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2025, which consisted of $4.2 million of gross charge-offs, offset by $181 thousand of gross recoveries. The net charge-offs resulted from the Company’s continuing strategy to derisk the consolidated balance sheet by reducing our exposure to criticized loans. The reversal of credit losses in the second quarter of 2025 included a $29 thousand provision for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments related to the increase in unfunded loan commitments during the second quarter of 2025, partially offset by a decrease in average funding rates used to estimate the allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments. Total unfunded loan commitments increased $9.1 million to $901.2 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $892.1 million in unfunded loan commitments at March 31, 2025.
The reversal of credit losses for loans held for investment in the second quarter of 2025 was $663 thousand, a decrease of $2.5 million from a reversal of credit losses of $3.2 million in the prior quarter. The decrease was driven primarily by the decrease in the balance of loans held for investment, changes in the composition of the loans held for investment portfolio, and changes in qualitative factors, partially offset by the net charge-offs and changes in the reasonable and supportable forecast, primarily related to the economic outlook for California. The Company’s management continues to monitor macroeconomic variables related to changes in interest rates and the concerns of an economic downturn, and believes it has appropriately provisioned for the current environment.
Noninterest Income
The Company recorded noninterest income of $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $290 thousand compared to $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2025. Other charges and fees increased $874 thousand in the second quarter due primarily to higher income from equity investments. There was no gain on sale of SBA 7A loans in the second quarter of 2025, compared to a gain on sale of loans from SBA 7A loan sales of $577 thousand in the prior quarter.
Noninterest Expense
Total noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2025 was $24.8 million, a slight decrease of $87 thousand from total noninterest expense of $24.9 million in the prior quarter. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $571 thousand during the second quarter of 2025 to $15.3 million. The decrease in salaries and employee benefits was primarily related to the decrease in payroll taxes, coupled with the increase in loan origination costs with increased loan origination activity. Regulatory assessments of $545 thousand decreased $177 thousand due to a decrease in the FDIC assessment rates in the second quarter of 2025. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company sold other real estate owned (“OREO”) and recognized a $862 thousand loss. There was no comparable transaction in the prior quarter.
Efficiency ratio (non-GAAP1) for the second quarter of 2025 was 56.1%, compared to 55.6% in the prior quarter. The $862 thousand loss on sale of other real estate owned negatively impacted the efficiency ratio by 1.9% during the second quarter of 2025.
Income Tax
In the second quarter of 2025, the Company’s income tax expense was $6.0 million, compared with $6.8 million for the first quarter of 2025. The effective rate was 29.8% for the second quarter of 2025 and 28.8% for the first quarter of 2025. The increase in the effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2025 was primarily attributable to the vesting and exercise of equity awards combined with changes in the Company's stock price over time.
Balance Sheet
Assets
Total assets at June 30, 2025 were $3.95 billion, a decrease of $29.4 million or 0.7% from March 31, 2025. The decrease in total assets from the prior quarter was primarily related to a decrease in loans, including loans held for sale, of $75.8 million, a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $9.1 million and a decrease in OREO of $4.1 million, partially offset by an increase in available-for-sale debt securities of $56.6 million and a decrease in the allowance for credit losses on loans of $4.7 million, as compared to the prior quarter.

Special mention loans decreased by $9.2 million during the second quarter of 2025 to $65.3 million at June 30, 2025.

Substandard loans decreased by $30.3 million during the second quarter of 2025 to $81.5 million at June 30, 2025. The decrease in the substandard loans was due primarily to $26.9 million in payoffs, $4.4 million in charge-offs and $698 thousand in loans upgraded to a pass rating, partially offset by $1.6 million in net advances and $115 thousand in loans downgraded from a pass rating.
The Company had no loans that were over 90 days past due and still accruing interest at June 30, 2025, compared to $45 thousand in such delinquencies at March 31, 2025.

Capital
Tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP1) at June 30, 2025, was $12.82, compared with $12.29 at March 31, 2025. In the second quarter of 2025, tangible book value was primarily impacted by net income of $14.1 million for the second quarter, stock-based compensation activity, coupled with a decrease in net of tax unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. Other comprehensive losses related to unrealized losses, net of taxes, on available-for-sale debt securities decreased by $679 thousand to $3.7 million at June 30, 2025, from $4.4 million at March 31, 2025. The decrease in the net of tax unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities was attributable to non-credit related factors, including an increase in bond prices at the long end of the yield curve and the general interest rate environment. Tangible common equity (non-GAAP1) as a percentage of total tangible assets (non-GAAP1) at June 30, 2025, increased to 10.89% from 10.34% in the prior quarter, and unrealized losses, net of taxes, on available-for-sale debt securities as a percentage of tangible common equity (non-GAAP1) at June 30, 2025 decreased to 0.9% from 1.1% in the prior quarter.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation
(Unaudited)
The following tables present a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures for: (1) adjusted net income (loss), (2) efficiency ratio, (3) adjusted efficiency ratio, (4) pre-tax pre-provision income, (5) adjusted pre-tax pre-provision income, (6) average tangible common equity, (7) adjusted return on average assets, (8) adjusted return on average equity, (9) return on average tangible common equity, (10) adjusted return on average tangible common equity, (11) tangible common equity, (12) tangible assets, (13) tangible common equity to tangible asset ratio, and (14) tangible book value per common share. 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 of the GAAP measures.
