  5. Slide 5: Understanding Financial Results from Growth

    UNDERSTANDING FINANCIAL RESULTS FROM GROWTH  Hypothetical additional $50 MM growth in one year over peer median  First year – add staff to fuel loan and deposit growth in excess of peers, estimate 1.5% of assets  Year one, growth is even throughout the year, therefore only ½ of NIM is recognized

  6. Slide 6: Understanding Financial Results from Growth Over Several Years

    UNDERSTANDING FINANCIAL RESULTS FROM GROWTH OVER SEVERAL YEARS  Consistent with the preceding example, a hypothetical loan growth scenario of an additional $50 MM per year over 3 years with a 4th year of peer average growth is demonstrated below  This example assumes a decrease in net income due t

  7. Slide 7: Increasing Asset Yield

    INCREASING ASSET YIELD  Repositioning assets tightened difference between Asset Yield and Loan Yield between 2Q17 & 2Q19  Focus on increasing average Loan Yield while maintaining credit quality includes:  Targeting loans with a story, Increasing SBA & Construction lending, and Reducing Consumer &

  8. Slide 8: Stabilizing Cost of Funds

    STABILIZING COST OF FUNDS  Projecting interest yields to stabilize and decrease during 2019  Better focus on increasing lower cost core deposits began in 2019

  9. Slide 9: Loan & Deposit Growth

    LOAN & DEPOSIT GROWTH  Core deposit growth not staying up with loans is a concern  Total loans to deposits near 100% may be a concern  Contingency plans include Money Market or CD special rate promotion or selling loans

  10. Slide 10: Loan Yield & Cost of Funds

    LOAN YIELD & COST OF FUNDS  The relationship reflects conservative cost and yield estimates in a declining rate environment  Decrease in cost in advance of yield is reflective of a liability sensitive balance sheet  Stabilizing cost at ~1.25% reflects management’s intention to lock in longer term

  11. Slide 11: Net Interest Income & Margin

    NET INTEREST INCOME & MARGIN  Goal is to maintain 3.60% average over time  What is better: incremental growth, or higher NIM with constraints such as capital, liquidity & core deposits?  Staffing & non-interest expenses should support planned growth

  12. Slide 12: Stabilizing Non-Interest Expenses

    STABILIZING NON-INTEREST EXPENSES  Beginning late 2016, added staff to improve customer service and support growth, stabilizing in Q3 2019  Improving internal processes to support growth and improve efficiencies  Examples: Document imaging project took 12 months at an approximate cost of $600,000

  13. Slide 13: Average Assets per FTE

    AVERAGE ASSETS PER FTE  We are currently near peer median. More projected Assets per FTE includes assumptions of larger average loan and deposit balances  More Assets per FTE help drive a lower efficiency ratio  More Assets per FTE also reflects technological improvements and other efficiencies

  14. Slide 14: Maintaining Credit Quality

    MAINTAINING CREDIT QUALITY  Greater separation of underwriting and loan processing functions  Expanded stress testing capabilities yielding positive results  Parallel CECL modeling provides enhanced loan loss provision capabilities

  15. Slide 15: Increasing Non-Interest Income

    INCREASING NON-INTEREST INCOME  Committed to remaining the community bank with low fees and focus on customer service  Increasing gains from SBA guaranteed loans includes:  Decision to sell vs. hold, and service fee income from sold loans  Expanding core deposits will increase servicing income

  16. Slide 16: Return on Average Assets

    RETURN ON AVERAGE ASSETS  Continues to be around peer median  Continues to have costs related to higher growth than peers drag down net income

  17. Slide 17: Return on Average Equity

    RETURN ON AVERAGE EQUITY  Relates directly to ROAA and leverage ratio  ROAA remains steady while leverage ratio decreases in plan  Projects higher than peer median beginning in late 2020

  18. Slide 18: Shareholder's Equity & Leverage Ratio

    SHAREHOLDER’S EQUITY & LEVERAGE RATIO  This needs to be monitored carefully in light of growth, liquidity, volatile deposit funding, and credit quality  Contingency planning needs to be robust: includes suspension of dividends, private capital raise, sale/leaseback of Bicentennial building, and sa
