Expert Statements
William Black, Executive Vice Chairman of BayCom Corp
“This quarter we took several deliberate actions to strengthen future earnings. We repositioned our bond portfolio into higher-yielding, shorter-duration securities and began restructuring our bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) portfolio, which together we expect to recoup the costs of these actions within approximately three years. We also sold most of our preferred equity holdings to reduce earnings volatility and market risk. Finally, we took targeted steps to realign our relationship banking teams around our most productive talent and markets. While these actions collectively reduced current-quarter earnings by approximately $0.50 per share, they position us for stronger, more consistent performance going forward. We are now focused on growing core customer relationships by investing in our business while looking at opportunities to improve legacy cost structures.”
Christopher Baron, President and Chief Executive Officer of BayCom Corp
“Our relationship-driven deposit franchise remains one of our greatest strengths. Deposits grew $122.3 million, and our average cost of deposits rose just one basis point to 1.57% despite competitive pressure and the Fed’s September rate increase. Loans grew 3.7%, led by residential, multifamily and C&I lending, and our net interest margin expanded 16 basis points to 4.11%. Thank you to our clients for their loyalty and to our team for their dedication.”
