LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–OP Bancorp (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: OPBK), the holding company of Open Bank (the “Bank”), today reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2023. Net income for the third quarter of 2023 was $5.1 million, or $0.33 per diluted common share, compared with $6.1 million, or $0.39 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2023, and $8.7 million, or $0.55 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2022.

Min Kim, President and Chief Executive Officer:

“Recognizing the continued challenges in banking environment, we have been actively engaging with our borrowers to provide support in this high interest rate environment. As we maintain a healthy level of liquidity, our primary emphasis has been on fine-tuning our deposit composition to control costs effectively. Our noninterest-bearing deposits stand at 33% of total deposits showing promising signs of stability in our net interest margin,” said Min Kim, President and Chief Executive.

“We also expanded our branch network by opening our eleventh full service branch in Las Vegas, Nevada during the quarter. Although we anticipate additional challenges in the short term, we remain optimistic about achieving our longer-term goals.”

Third Quarter 2023 vs. Second Quarter 2023

Net interest income increased $0.1 million, or 0.4%, primarily due to higher interest income on loans and interest-bearing deposits in other banks, mostly offset by higher interest expense on deposits. Net interest margin was 3.38%, a decrease of 2 basis points from 3.40%.

  • A $1.0 million increase in interest income on loans was primarily due to a 11 basis point increase in average yield as a result of the Federal Reserve’s rate increases.
  • A $113 thousand increase in interest income on interest-bearing deposits in other banks was primarily due the Federal Reserve’s rate increases.
  • A $1.1 million increase in interest expense on interest-bearing deposits was primarily due to a 24 basis point increase in average cost.

Third Quarter 2023 vs. Third Quarter 2022

Net interest income decreased $3.0 million, or 14.9%, primarily due to higher interest expense on deposits, partially offset by higher interest income on loans. Net interest margin was 3.38%, a decrease of 93 basis points from 4.31%.

  • A $10.1 million increase in interest expense on deposits was primarily due to a $274.7 million increase in average balance and a 301 basis point increase in average cost driven by the Federal Reserve’s rate increases.
  • A $6.5 million increase in interest income on loans was primarily due to a $126.2 million increase in average balance and a 109 basis point increase in average yield as a result of the Federal Reserve’s rate increases.

Third Quarter 2023 vs. Second Quarter 2023

Noninterest expense decreased $765 thousand, or 6.2%, primarily due to lower salaries and employee benefits, and data processing communication, partially offset by a higher occupancy and equipment.

  • Salaries and employee benefits decreased $667 thousand primarily due to a lower accrual on employee incentives.
  • Data processing and communication decreased $177 thousand primarily due to an accrual adjustment for a credit received on data processing fees.
  • Occupancy and equipment increased $108 thousand primarily due to increases in leasehold improvements and equipment expense accrual adjustments.

Third Quarter 2023 vs. Third Quarter 2022

Noninterest expense decreased $803 thousand, or 6.5%, primarily due to lower foundation donation and other contributions, salaries and employee benefits, and data processing and communication.

  • Salaries and employee benefits decreased $329 thousand, primarily due to a lower accrual on employee incentives.
  • Data processing and communication decreased $217 thousand, primarily due to an accrual adjustment for a credit received on data processing fees.

Income tax expense was $1.9 million and the effective tax rate was 27.1%, compared to income tax expense of $3.5 million and an effective rate of 28.9%. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to return to provision adjustments applied in the third quarter of 2023.
