NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1 -
Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of operations
- Coastal Financial Corporation (“Corporation” or “Company”) is a registered bank holding company whose wholly owned subsidiaries are Coastal Community Bank (“Bank”) and Arlington Olympic LLC (“LLC”). The Company is a Washington state corporation that was organized in 2003. The Bank was incorporated and commenced operations in 1997 and is a Washington state-chartered commercial bank that is a member bank of the Federal Reserve system. Arlington Olympic LLC was formed in 2019 and owns the Company’s Arlington branch site, which the Bank leases from the LLC.
We are headquartered in Everett, Washington, which by population is the largest city in, and the county seat of, Snohomish County. The Company’s business is conducted through
three
reportable segments: CCBX, the community bank and treasury & administration. The CCBX segment provides Banking as a Service (“BaaS”) that allows our broker dealers and digital financial service partners to offer their customers banking services. Through CCBX’s partners the Company is able to offer banking services and products across the nation.The community bank segment includes all community banking activities with a primary focus on providing a wide range of banking products and services to consumers and small to medium-sized businesses, professionals, and individuals in the broader Puget Sound region in the state of Washington through its
14
branches in Snohomish, Island and King Counties, and through the Internet and its mobile banking application. The treasury & administration segment includes treasury management, overall administration and all other aspects of the Company.
The Bank’s deposits are insured in whole or in part by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The community bank’s loans and deposits are primarily within the greater Puget Sound area, while CCBX loans and deposits are dependent upon the partner’s market. The Bank’s primary funding source is deposits from customers. The Bank is subject to regulation and supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) and the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions Division of Banks. The Federal Reserve also has regulatory and supervisory authority over the Company.
Financial statement presentation
- The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim reporting requirements and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and therefore do not include all the information and notes included in the annual consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 16, 2023. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.
Amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements and footnote tables are rounded and presented in thousands of dollars except per-share amounts, which are presented in dollars. In the narrative footnote discussion, amounts are rounded to thousands and presented in dollars.
In management’s opinion, all accounting adjustments necessary to accurately reflect the financial position and results of operations on the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been made. These adjustments include normal and recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair and accurate presentation.
Principles of consolidation
- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank and the LLC. All significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Estimates
- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that its critical accounting policies include determining the allowance for credit losses, the valuation of the Company’s deferred tax assets, and fair value of financial instruments. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Implementation of ASU 2016-13 -
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13,
Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326)
: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the incurred loss with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized costs, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in certain leases. In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities. One such change is to require increases or decreases in credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available-for-sale debt securities management does not intend to sell or believe it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis.
The Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method. Results for the reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The day one CECL adjustment for community bank loans included a reduction of $
310,000
to the community bank allowance in the first quarter of 2023 and a reduction of $
340,000
related to the community bank unfunded commitment reserve in the first quarter of 2023. This was offset by an increase to the CCBX allowance for $
4.2
million in the same period. With the mirror image approach accounting related to the credit enhancement for CCBX partner loans, there was a CECL day one increase to the indemnification asset in the amount of $
4.5
million. Net, the day one impact to retained earnings for the Bank’s transition to CECL was an increase of $
954,000
in the first quarter of 2023, excluding the impact of income taxes.
Management has separately evaluated its held-to-maturity investment securities and determined that no loss reserves were required.
Implementation of ASU 2022-02 -
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02,
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings ("TDR") and Vintage Disclosures.
The ASU eliminated the accounting guidance for TDR loans by creditors while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Additionally, the ASU requires public business entities to disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. This ASU was effective upon adoption of ASU 2016-13 and was applied on a prospective basis. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company did not have any loans that were modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.
Accounting policy
update
–
Allowance for Credit Losses - effective January 1, 2023 with the adoption of ASU 2016-13
Loans and unfunded commitments
The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") is an estimate of the expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. The ACL is evaluated and calculated on a collective basis for those loans which share similar risk characteristics. At each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether the loans in a pool continue to exhibit similar risk characteristics as the other loans in the pool and whether it needs to evaluate the allowance on an individual basis. The Company must estimate expected credit losses over the loans’ contractual terms, adjusted for expected prepayments. In estimating the life of the loan, the Company cannot extend the contractual term of the loan for expected extensions, renewals, and modifications, unless the extension or renewal options are included in the contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company. Because expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual life adjusted for estimated prepayments, determination of the life of the loan may significantly affect the ACL. The Company has chosen to segment its portfolio consistent with the manner in which it manages the risk of the type of credit.
•
Community Bank Portfolio: The ACL calculation is derived from loan segments utilizing loan level information and relevant available information from internal and external sources related to past events and current conditions. In addition, the Company incorporates a reasonable and supportable forecast.
•
CCBX Portfolio: The Bank calculates the ACL on loans on an aggregate basis based on each partner and product level, segmenting the risk inherent in the CCBX portfolio based on qualitative and quantitative trends in the portfolio.
Also included in the ACL are qualitative reserves to cover losses that are expected, but in the Company’s assessment may not be adequately represented in the quantitative method. For example, factors that the Company considers include environmental business conditions, borrower’s financial condition, credit rating and the volume and severity of past due loans and non-accrual loans. Based on this analysis, the Company records a provision for credit losses to maintain the allowance at appropriate levels.
Determining the amount of the allowance is considered a critical accounting estimate, as it requires significant judgment and the use of subjective measurements, including management’s assessment of overall portfolio quality. The Company maintains the allowance at an amount the Company believes is sufficient to provide for estimated losses expected to occur in the Company’s loan portfolio at each balance sheet date, and fluctuations in the provision for credit losses may result from management’s assessment of the adequacy of the allowance. Changes in these estimates and assumptions are possible and may have a material impact on the Company’s allowance, and therefore the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of operations. The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis in its ACL calculation as accrued interest is written off in a timely manner when deemed uncollectable.
For more information and discussion related to the allowance for credit losses on loans, see “
Note 4 - Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses”
in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In addition to the ACL on loans held for investment, CECL requires a balance sheet liability for expected losses on unfunded commitments, which is recognized if both the following conditions are met: (1) the Company has a present contractual obligation to extend credit; and (2) the obligation is not unconditionally cancellable by the Company. Loan commitments may have a funded and unfunded portion, of which the liability for unfunded commitments is derived based upon the commitments to extend credit to a borrower (e.g., an estimate of expected credit losses is not established for unfunded portions of loan commitment that are unconditionally cancellable by the Company). The expected credit losses for funded portions are reported in the previously discussed ACL. The Company segments its unfunded commitment portfolio consistent with the ACL calculation, separating between unfunded lines and commitments to originate. The Company incorporates the probability of funding (i.e. estimate of utilization) for each segment and then utilizes the ACL loss rates for each segment on an aggregate basis to calculate the allowance for unfunded commitments
Available-for-sale debt securities
For available-for-sale debt securities with fair value below amortized cost, the security is considered impaired. When the Company does not intend to sell the debt security, and it is more likely than not the Company will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, then the Company assesses the impairment for potential expected credit losses. Impairment related to a credit loss is measured using the discounted cash flow method. Credit loss recognition is limited to the fair value of the security. The impairment is recognized by establishing an ACL through provision for credit losses. Impairment related to noncredit factors is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The Company evaluates AFS security impairment on a quarterly basis.
Held-to-maturity debt securities
For held-to-maturity debt securities, expected losses are evaluated and calculated on a collective basis for those securities which share risk characteristics. The Company aggregates similar securities and reports the security portfolio segments based on shared risk characteristics. The only segment included in the held-to-maturity portfolio are U.S. Agency Residential Mortgage Backed Securities which have an expected zero credit loss.

Recent accounting standards
Recent Accounting Guidance
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04,
Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting
, to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as Secured Overnight Financing Rate. Entities can elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by what the guidance calls reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. An entity that makes this election would not have to remeasure the contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination. Also, entities can elect various optional expedients that would allow them to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met, and can make a one-time election to sell and/or reclassify held-to-maturity debt securities that reference an interest rate affected by reference rate reform. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities upon issuance through December 31, 2024. The
LIBOR ceased to be published effective June 30, 2023. Beginning with rate adjustments that occur after June 30, 2023, our trust preferred subordinated debentures will transition to an adjusted three-month CME Term SOFR index in accordance with the Federal Reserve final rule implementing the Adjustable Interest Rate Act. We have identified the loans that utilize LIBOR and they will transition to alternative reference rates at each loans respective reprice date. We are no longer offering LIBOR indexed rates on newly originated loans. ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities at June 30, 2023, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because issuers or the underlying borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are shown separately, since they are not due at a single maturity date.

Management has evaluated the above securities and does not believe that any individual unrealized loss as of June 30, 2023, will be recognized into income. Unrealized losses have not been recognized into income because management does not intend to sell and does not expect it will be required to sell the investments. The decline is largely due to changes in market conditions and interest rates, rather than credit quality. The fair value is expected to recover as the underlying securities in the portfolio approach maturity date and market conditions improve. Management believes there is a high probability of collecting all contractual amounts due, because the majority of the securities in the portfolio are backed by government agencies or government sponsored enterprises. However, a recovery in value may not occur for some time, if at all, and may be delayed for greater than the
one year
time horizon or perhaps even until maturity. Based on management's analysis no allowance for credit losses was required on these securities.

million in consumer and other loans and $

million in commercial and industrial loans as of December 31, 2022.
The following is a summary of the Company’s loan portfolio segments:
Commercial and industrial loans –
Commercial and industrial loans are secured by business assets including inventory, receivables and machinery and equipment of businesses located generally in the Company’s primary market area and capital calls on venture and investment funds. Also included in commercial and industrial loans are $
60.3
million in unsecured CCBX partner loans. Loan types include PPP loans, revolving lines of credit, term loans, and loans secured by liquid collateral such as cash deposits or marketable securities. Also included in commercial and industrial loans are loans to other financial institutions. Risk arises primarily due to the difference between expected and actual cash flows of the borrowers. In addition, the recoverability of the Company’s investment in these loans is also dependent on other factors primarily dictated by the type of collateral securing these loans. The fair value of the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate as market conditions change. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the recovery of the Company’s investment is dependent upon the borrower’s ability to collect amounts due from its customers.
As of June 30, 2023, $
138.4
million in outstanding CCBX capital call lines are included in commercial and industrial loans compared to $
146.0
million at December 31, 2022. Capital call lines are provided to venture capital firms. These loans are secured by the capital call rights and are individually underwritten to the Bank’s credit standards by our CCBX partner and the underwriting is reviewed by the Bank on every line/loan.
Construction, land and land development loans –
The Company originates loans for the construction of 1-4 family, multifamily, and Commercial Real Estate (“CRE”) properties in the Company’s market area. Construction loans are considered to have higher risks due to construction completion and timing risk, the ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, government regulation of real property and the availability of long-term financing. Additionally, economic conditions may impact the Company’s ability to recover its investment in construction loans, as adverse economic conditions may negatively impact the real estate market, which could affect the borrower’s ability to complete
and sell the project. Additionally, the fair value of the underlying collateral may fluctuate as market conditions change. The Company occasionally originates land loans for the purpose of facilitating the ultimate construction of a home or commercial building. The primary risks include the borrower’s ability to pay and the inability of the Company to recover its investment due to a material decline in the fair value of the underlying collateral.
Residential real estate loans –
Residential real estate includes various types of loans for which the Company holds real property as collateral. Included in this segment are first and second lien single family loans, occasionally purchased by the Company to diversify its loan portfolio, and rental portfolios secured by one-to-four family homes. The primary risks of residential real estate loans include the borrower’s inability to pay, material decreases in the value of the collateral, and significant increases in interest rates which may make the loan unprofitable.
As of June 30, 2023, $
251.2
million in loans originated through CCBX partners are included in residential real estate loans, compared to $
244.6
million at December 31, 2022. These home equity lines of credit are secured by residential real estate and are accessed by using a credit card. Home equity lines of credit are classified as residential real estate per regulatory guidelines.
Commercial real estate (includes owner occupied and nonowner occupied) loans –
Commercial real estate loans include various types of loans for which the Company holds real property as collateral. We have commercial mortgage loans collateralized by $
356.0
million of owner-occupied real-estate and $
478.2
million of non-owner-occupied real estate, as well as $
319.0
million of multi-family residential loans and $
11.0
million of farmland loans, as of June 30, 2023. The primary risks of commercial real estate loans include the borrower’s inability to pay, material decreases in the value of the collateralized real estate and significant increases in interest rates, which may make the real estate loan unprofitable. Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy.
Consumer and other loans –
The community bank originates a limited number of consumer loans, generally for banking customers only, which consist primarily of lines of credit, saving account secured loans, and auto loans. CCBX originates consumer loans including credit cards, consumer term loans and secured and unsecured lines of credit. This loan category includes overdrafts. Repayment of these loans is dependent on the borrower’s ability to pay and the fair value of the underlying collateral, if any.
As of June 30, 2023, $
845.0
million in CCBX loans are included in consumer and other loans compared to $
607.0
million at December 31, 2022.
There were $
26.3
million in loans past due
90
days or more and still accruing interest as of June 30, 2023, and $
26.1
million as of December 31, 2022. This is attributed to loans originated through CCBX lending partners which continue to accrue interest up to
180
days past due. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $
25.2
million and $
25.5
million, respectively, of loans past due 90 days or more are covered by credit enhancements provided by our CCBX partners that protect the Bank against losses.
The accrual of interest on community bank loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due or when they are
90
days past due as to either principal or interest, unless they are well secured and in the process of collection. Installment/closed-end, and revolving/open-end consumer loans originated through CCBX lending partners will continue to accrue interest until
120
and
180
days past due, respectively and an allowance is recorded through provision expense for these expected losses. For installment/closed-end and revolving/open-end consumer loans originated through CCBX lending partners with balances outstanding beyond
120
days and
180
days past due, respectively, principal and capitalized interest outstanding is charged off against the allowance and accrued interest outstanding is reversed against interest income. These consumer loans are reported as nonperforming/substandard,
90
days or more days past due and still accruing.
When loans are placed on nonaccrual status, all accrued interest is reversed from current period earnings. Payments received on nonaccrual loans are generally applied as a reduction to the loan principal balance. If the likelihood of further loss is removed, the Company will recognize interest on a cash basis only. Loans may be returned to accruing status if the Company believes that all remaining principal and interest is fully collectible and there has been at least
six months
of sustained repayment performance since the loan was placed on nonaccrual.

In some circumstances, the Company modifies loans in response to borrower financial difficulty, and generally provides for a temporary modification of loan repayment terms. In order for a modified loan to be considered for accrual status, the loan’s collateral coverage generally will be greater than or equal to
100
% of the loan balance, the loan is current on payments, and the borrower must either prefund an interest reserve or demonstrate the ability to make payments from a verified source of cash flow for an extended period of time, usually at least
six months
in duration.
No
loans were modified for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
Credit Quality and Credit Risk
Federal regulations require that the Company periodically evaluate the risks inherent in its loan portfolio. In addition, the Company’s regulatory agencies have authority to identify problem loans and, if appropriate, require them to be reclassified. The Company establishes loan grades for loans at the origination of the loan. Changes to community bank loan grades are considered at the time new information about the performance of a loan becomes available, including the receipt of updated financial information from the borrower and after loan reviews. For consumer loans, the Bank follows the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council’s Uniform Retail Credit Classification and Account Management Policy for subsequent classification in the event of payment delinquencies or default. Typically, an individual loan grade will not be changed from the prior period unless there is a specific indication of credit deterioration or improvement. Credit deterioration is evidenced by delinquency, direct communications with the borrower or other borrower information that becomes known to management. Credit improvements are evidenced by known facts regarding the borrower or the collateral property. The Company classifies some loans as Watch or Other Loans Especially Mentioned (“OLEM”). Loans classified as Watch are performing assets but have elements of risk that require more monitoring than other performing loans and are reported in the OLEM column in the following table. Loans classified as OLEM are assets that continue to perform but have shown deterioration in credit quality and require close monitoring. There are three classifications for problem loans: Substandard, Doubtful, and Loss. Substandard loans have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Revolving (open-ended loans, such as credit cards) and installment (closed end) consumer loans originated through CCBX partners continue to accrue interest until they are charged-off at
120
days past due for installment loans (primarily unsecured loans to consumers) and
180
days past due for revolving loans (primarily credit cards) and are classified as substandard. Doubtful loans have the weaknesses of loans classified as Substandard, with additional characteristics that suggest the weaknesses make collection or recovery in full after liquidation of collateral questionable on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values. There is a high possibility of loss in loans classified as Doubtful. A loan classified as Loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continued classification of the credit as a loan is not warranted. If a loan or a portion thereof is classified as Loss, it must be charged-off, meaning the amount of the loss is charged against the allowance for credit losses, thereby reducing that reserve.
Management considers the guidance in ASC 310-20 when determining whether a modification, extension, or renewal of loan constitutes a current period origination.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of community bank loans by year of origination is as follows:

Allowance for Credit Losses ("ACL")
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as CECL. See Note 1, Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. As a result of implementing CECL, there was a one-time adjustment to the 2023 opening allowance balance of $
3.9
million.
CCBX loans have a higher level of expected losses than our community bank loans, which is reflected in the factors for the allowance for credit losses. Agreements with our CCBX partners provide for a credit enhancement which protects the Bank by reimbursing most losses. In accordance with accounting guidance, we estimate and record a provision for expected losses for these CCBX loans and reclassified negative deposit accounts. When the provision for CCBX credit losses and provision for unfunded commitments are recorded, a credit enhancement asset is also recorded on the balance sheet through noninterest income (BaaS credit enhancements). Expected losses are recorded in the allowance for credit losses. The credit enhancement asset is reduced when credit enhancement payments are received from the CCBX partner or taken from the partner's cash reserve account. CCBX partners provide for credit enhancements that provide protection to the Bank from credit and fraud losses by reimbursing the Bank for the losses. If the partner is unable to fulfill their contracted obligations then the Bank could be exposed to the loss of the reimbursement and credit enhancement income. In accordance with the program agreement for one CCBX partner, the Company is responsible for credit losses on approximately
10
% of a $
180.5
million loan portfolio that are without credit enhancement reimbursements. At June 30, 2023,
10
% of this portfolio represented $
18.0
million in loans. The partner is responsible for reimbursing credit losses on approximately
90
% of this portfolio and for fraud losses on
100
% of this portfolio. The Company earns
100
% of the interest income on the aforementioned $
18.0
million of loans.
The following tables summarize the allocation of the ACL, as well as the activity in the ACL attributed to various segments in the loan portfolio, as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and the allocation and activity of the loans and allowance for loan losses ("ALLL ") attributed to the various segments in the loan portfolio for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022:

Note 6 -
Leases
The Company has committed to rent premises used in business operations under non-cancelable operating leases and determines if an arrangement meets the definition of a lease upon inception.
Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent a right to use an underlying asset for the contractual lease term. Operating lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. An operating lease ROU asset and operating lease liability will be recognized for any new operating leases at the commencement of the new lease.
The Company’s leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, therefore the Company used its incremental collateralized borrowing rates commensurate with the underlying lease terms to determine the present value of operating lease liabilities. The weighted average discount rate as of June 30, 2023 was
3.88
%.
The Company’s operating lease agreements contain both lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees.
Operating leases with terms of 12 months or less are not included in ROU assets and operating lease liabilities recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Operating lease terms include options to extend when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options, determined on a lease-by-lease basis. At June 30, 2023, lease expiration dates ranged from
8
months to
21.7
years, with additional renewal options on certain leases typically ranging from
5
to
10
years. At June 30, 2023, the weighted average remaining lease term inclusive of renewal options that the Company is reasonably certain to renew for the Company’s operating leases was
9.5
years.
Rental expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and amounted to $
284,000
and $
642,000
, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and $
347,000
and $
693,000
respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Variable lease components, such as inflation adjustments, are expensed as incurred and not included in ROU assets and operating lease liabilities.
The following table presents the minimum annual lease payments under the terms of these leases, inclusive of renewal options that the Company is reasonably certain to renew, at June 30, 2023:

The 2018 Coastal Financial Corporation Omnibus Plan (2018 Plan) authorizes the Company to grant awards, including but not limited to, stock options, restricted stock units, and restricted stock awards, to eligible employees, directors or individuals that provide service to the Company, up to an aggregate of
500,000
shares of common stock. On May 24, 2021, the Company’s shareholders approved the First Amendment to the 2018 Plan, which increased the authorized plan shares by
600,000
. The 2018 Plan replaced the 2006 Plan for new awards. Existing awards will vest under the terms granted and
no
further awards will be granted under these prior plans. Shares available to be granted under the 2018 plan were
433,297
at June 30, 2023.
Stock Option Awards
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock and other factors. The Company uses the vesting term and contractual life to determine the expected life. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Compensation expense related to unvested stock option awards is reversed at date of forfeiture
.
There were
no
new stock options granted in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Restricted Stock Units
In the first quarter of 2023, the Company granted
73,611
restricted stock units ("RSUs") under the 2018 Plan to employees, which vest ratably over
4
years and
1,084
restricted stock units which vest ratably over
5
years. In the second quarter of 2023, the Company granted
9,827
restricted stock units to employees which vest ratably over
5
years.
RSUs provide for an interest in Company common stock to the recipient, the underlying stock is not issued until certain conditions are met. Vesting requirements include time-based, performance-based, or market-based conditions. Recipients of RSUs do not pay any cash consideration to the Company for the units and the holders of the restricted units do not have voting rights. The fair value of time-based and performance-based units is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The fair value of market-based units is estimated on the grant date using the Monte Carlo simulation model. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period that the awards are based. RSUs are nonparticipating securities.
As of June 30, 2023, there was $
10.7
million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested RSUs. The Company expects to recognize that cost over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of approximately
4.2
years. Compensation expense recorded related to RSUs was $
688,000
and $
1.5
million respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and $

Fair Value Measurements
The following tables present estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of the period indicated, whether or not recognized or recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at the period indicated:
The Company measures and discloses certain assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale). GAAP establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. Among other things, the accounting standard requires the reporting entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s estimates for market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
•
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments. An active market is a market in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available.
•
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 including quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, quoted prices in less active markets for identical or similar instruments, or other observable inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data.
•
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity for financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation; also includes observable inputs from nonbinding single dealer quotes not corroborated by observable market data.
The estimated fair value amounts of financial instruments have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize at a future date. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. In addition, reasonable comparability between financial institutions may not be likely due to the wide range of permitted valuation techniques and numerous estimates that must be made given the absence of active secondary markets for certain financial instruments. This lack of uniform valuation methodologies also introduces a greater degree of subjectivity to these estimated fair values.

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of the class of financial instruments above:
Investment securities
-
The fair value of securities is based on quoted market prices, pricing models, quoted prices of similar securities, independent pricing sources, and discounted cash flows.
Limitations:
The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The factors used in the fair values estimates are subject to change subsequent to the dates the fair value estimates are completed, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

The amounts disclosed above represent the fair values at the time the nonrecurring fair value measurements were made, and not necessarily the fair value as of the dates reported on.
Individually evaluated loans
- Fair values for individually evaluated loans are estimated using the fair value of the collateral less selling costs if the loan results in a Level 3 classification. Individually evaluated loan amounts are initially valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Individually evaluated loans carried at fair value generally receive specific
allocations of the allowance for credit losses. For collateral dependent real estate loans, fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Individually evaluated loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional credit losses and adjusted accordingly. The estimated fair values of financial instruments disclosed above follow the guidance in ASU 2016-01 which prescribes an “exit price” approach in estimating and disclosing fair value of financial instruments incorporating discounts for credit, liquidity, and marketability factors. Valuation is measured based on the fair value of the underlying collateral or the discounted cash expected future cash flows. Subsequent changes in the value of loans are included within the provision for credit losses - loans in the same manner in which it initially was recognized or as a reduction in the provision that would otherwise be reported. Loans are evaluated quarterly to determine if valuation adjustments should be recorded. The need for valuation adjustments arises when observable market prices or current appraised values of collateral indicate a shortfall in collateral value compared to current carrying values of the related loan. If the Company determines that the value of the individually evaluated loan is less than the carrying value of the loan, the Company either establishes an reserve as a specific component of the allowance for credit losses or charges off that amount. These valuation adjustments are considered nonrecurring fair value adjustments.
Equity securities
– The Company measures equity securities without readily determinable fair values at cost less impairment (if any), plus or minus observable price changes from an identical or similar investment of the same issuer, with price changes recognized in earnings.
Assets measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
The following table presents the carrying value of equity securities without readily determinable fair values, as of June 30, 2023, with adjustments recorded during the periods presented for those securities with observable price changes, if applicable. These equity securities are included in other investments on the balance sheet.

Under the two-class method, earnings available to common shareholders for the period are allocated between common shareholders and participating securities according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings, however the difference in the two-class method was not significant.
As defined in ASC 280,
Segment Reporting
, an operating segment is a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the enterprise’s chief operating decision makers to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. We evaluate performance based on an internal performance measurement accounting system, which provides line of business results. This system uses various techniques to assign balance sheet and income statement amounts to the business segments, including allocations of income and expense. A primary objective of this measurement system and related internal financial reporting practices are to produce consistent results that reflect the underlying financial impact of the segments on the Company and to provide a basis of support for strategic decision making. The accounting policies applicable to our segments are those that apply to our preparation of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. Based on these criteria, we have identified
three
segments: the community bank, CCBX, and treasury & administration. The community bank segment includes all community banking activities, with a primary focus of the community bank is on providing a wide range of banking products and services to consumers and small to medium sized businesses in the broader Puget Sound region in the state of Washington and through the Internet and our mobile banking application. We currently operate
14
full-service banking locations,
12
of which are located in Snohomish County, where we are the largest community bank by deposit market share, and two of which are located in neighboring counties (
one
in King County and
one
in Island County). The CCBX segment provides banking as a service (“BaaS”) that allows our broker-dealer and digital financial service partners to offer their customers banking services. The CCBX segment has
22
partners as of June 30, 2023. The treasury & administration segment includes investments, debt and other reporting items that are not specific to the community bank or CCBX segments.
The management accounting policies and processes utilized in compiling segment financial information are highly subjective and, unlike financial accounting, are not based on authoritative guidance similar to GAAP. As a result, reported segments and the financial information of the reported segments are not necessarily comparable with similar information reported by other financial institutions. Additionally, because of the interrelationships of the various segments, the information presented is not indicative of how the segments would perform if they operated as independent entities. Changes in management structure or allocation methodologies and procedures may result in future changes to previously reported segment financial data.
Furthermore, changes in management structure or allocation methodologies and procedures may result in changes in reported segment financial data. The Company continues to evaluate its methodology on allocating items to the Company’s various segments to support strategic business decisions by the Company’s executive leadership. Income and expenses that are specific to a segment are directly posted to each segment. Additionally, certain indirect expenses are allocated to each segment utilizing various metrics, such as number of employees, utilization of space, and allocations based on loan and deposit balances. We have implemented a transfer pricing process that credits or charges the community bank and CCBX segments with intrabank interest income or expense for the difference in average loans and average deposits, with the treasury & administration segment as the offset for those entries.
Summarized financial information concerning the Company's reportable segments and the reconciliation to the consolidated financial results is shown in the following tables for the periods indicated:

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, CCBX noninterest income includes credit enhancements of $
51.0
million, fraud enhancements of $
1.5
million, and BaaS program income of $
3.9

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
We are a bank holding company that operates through our wholly owned subsidiaries, Coastal Community Bank (“Bank”) and Arlington Olympic LLC . We are headquartered in Everett, Washington, which by population is the largest city in, and the county seat of, Snohomish County. Our business is conducted through three reportable segments: The community bank CCBX and treasury & administration. The community bank segment includes all community banking activities, with a
primary focus on providing a wide range of banking products and services to consumers and small to medium sized businesses in the broader Puget Sound region in the state of Washington and through the Internet and our mobile banking application. We currently operate 14 full-service banking locations, 12 of which are located in Snohomish County, where we are the largest community bank by deposit market share, and two of which are located in neighboring counties (one in King County and one in Island County). The CCBX segment provides banking as a service (“BaaS”) that allows our broker-dealer and digital financial service partners to offer their customers banking services. The CCBX segment has 22 partners as of June 30, 2023. The treasury & administration segment includes investments, debt and other reporting items that are not specific to the community bank or CCBX segments. The Bank’s deposits are insured in whole or in part by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Bank is subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve and the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions Division of Banks. The Federal Reserve also has supervisory authority over the Company.
As of June 30, 2023, we had total assets of $3.54 billion, total loans receivable of $3.01 billion, total deposits of $3.16 billion and total shareholders’ equity of $272.7 million.
The following discussion and analysis presents our financial condition and results of operations on a consolidated basis. However, because we conduct all of our material business operations through the Bank, the discussion and analysis relate to activities primarily conducted by the Bank.
We generate most of our community bank revenue from interest on loans and CCBX revenue from BaaS fee income and interest on loans. Our primary source of funding for our loans is commercial and retail deposits from our customer relationships and from our partner deposit relationships. We place secondary reliance on wholesale funding, primarily borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”). Less commonly used sources of funding include borrowings from the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”) discount window, draws on established federal funds lines from unaffiliated commercial banks, brokered funds, which allows us to obtain deposits from sources that do not have a relationship with the Bank and can be obtained through certificate of deposit listing services, via the internet or through other advertising methods, or a one-way buy through an insured cash sweep (“ICS”) account, which allows us to obtain funds from other institutions that have deposited funds through ICS. Our largest expenses are provision for credit losses - loans, BaaS loan expense, BaaS fraud expense, salaries and employee benefits, interest on deposits and borrowings, legal and professional expenses and data processing. Our principal lending products are commercial real estate loans, consumer loans, residential real estate, commercial and industrial loans and construction, land and land development loans.
Potential Regulatory Reforms in Response to Bank Failures
The failures of Silicon Valley Bank, Santa Clara, California, Signature Bank, New York, New York, and First Republic Bank, San Francisco, California, in March and May, 2023, may lead to regulatory changes and initiatives that could impact the Company. For example, President Biden has encouraged the federal banking agencies to adopt various reforms, including the completion of an incentive compensation rule for bank executives pursuant to Section 956 of the Dodd-Frank Act, in response to these bank failures. On April 28, 2023, the Federal Reserve and the FDIC issued reports on the failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, respectively, identifying the potential causes that the federal banking agencies may seek to address through changes to their supervisory and regulatory policies. Additionally, agency officials, including the Vice Chair for Supervision of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, have called for changes to the manner in which banks’ capital, interest rate and liquidity risks are supervised and regulated. The extent of final actions to be taken by the regulatory agencies in responses to these bank failures, including the potential changes discussed by the Vice Chair or highlighted in the Federal Reserve and FDIC reports, remain unclear.
Small Business Lending Data Collection Rule
On March 30, 2023, the CFPB finalized a rule under section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Act requiring lenders to collect and report data regarding small business lending activity. The Company is evaluating the impact of the new rule. The rule is
scheduled to take effect on August 29, 2023, and requires compliance by October 1, 2024, April 1, 2025, or January 1, 2026, depending on the number of covered small business loans that a covered lender originates.
London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) Transition
LIBOR, a benchmark interest rate that was widely referenced in the past, is no longer published after June 30, 2023. On December 16, 2022, the Federal Reserve Board adopted a final rule that implements the Adjustable Interest Rate (“LIBOR”) Act (the “LIBOR Act”) by identifying benchmark rates based on SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) that will replace LIBOR formerly known as the London Interbank Offered Rate, in certain financial contracts after June 30, 2023. Congress enacted the LIBOR Act, which was signed into law in March 2022, to provide a uniform, nationwide solution for so-called tough legacy contracts that do not have clear and practicable provisions for replacing LIBOR after June 30, 2023. The LIBOR Act also establishes a litigation safe harbor for lenders that select a LIBOR replacement under certain situations, including the use of a replacement rate selected by the Federal Reserve. As required by the law, the final rule identifies replacement benchmark rates based on SOFR to replace overnight, one-month, three-month, six-month, and 12-month LIBOR in contracts subject to the Act. These contracts include U.S. contracts that do not mature before LIBOR ends and that lack adequate "fallback" provisions that would replace LIBOR with a practicable replacement benchmark rate. For more information on the Company’s approach to LIBOR transition planning, please see the risk factors discussed in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
As of June 30, 2023, we had 44 loans totaling $196.6 million that are tied to LIBOR. We have $3.6 million in floating rate junior subordinated debentures to Coastal (WA) Statutory Trust I, which was formed for the issuance of trust preferred securities. These debentures have been tied to LIBOR, but beginning with rate adjustments that occur after June 30, 2023, the rate will be based off three-month CME Term SOFR plus 0.26%. The move to an alternate index may impact the rates we receive on loans and rates we pay on our junior subordinated debentures. We have identified the loans and debt instruments impacted, and we believe we will be able to use other benchmark replacements and transition protections provided by the LIBOR Act, Federal Reserve rule and relevant accounting guidance to manage through the transition away from LIBOR. We no longer issue any loans or debt tied to LIBOR
.
Third Party Risk Management Guidance
On June 6, 2023, the FDIC, the Federal Reserve and the OCC issued final guidance providing sound principles that support a risk-based approach to third-party risk management. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its practices.

,
during the three months ended June 30, 2023. Fully insured IntraFi network sweep deposits increased $146.0 million to $240.3 million as of June 30, 2023, compared to $94.3 million as of March 31, 2023
.
These fully insured sweep deposits allow our larger deposit customers to fully insure their deposits through a sweep and exchange of deposits with other financial institutions. Our liquidity position is supported by diligent management of our liquid assets and liabilities as well as maintaining access to alternative sources of funds. As of June 30, 2023 we had $275.1 million in cash on the balance sheet and the capacity to borrow up to $559.8 million from Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank discount window. We did not draw down on either facility at any point in the six months ending June 30, 2023.
Cash on the balance sheet and borrowing capacity total $834.8 million and represented 26.4% of total deposits and exceeded our $632.1 million in uninsured deposits as of June 30, 2023. Our AFS securities portfolio has a weighted average remaining duration of just 8 months and U.S. Treasury securities represent 99.7% of that portfolio as of June 30, 2023. Unrealized losses on the AFS securities portfolio were just $2.1 million, or 0.78%, of shareholders' equity as of June 30, 2023.
Results of Operations
Net Income
Comparison of the quarter ended June 30, 2023 to the comparable quarter in the prior year
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $12.9 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, compared to $10.2 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in net income over the comparable period in the prior year was primarily attributable to a $41.9 million increase in interest income and $33.1 million increase in noninterest income. These were partially offset by an increase in the provision for credit losses - loans of $38.5 million, related to CCBX loan growth, and $13.7 million more in noninterest expense, also largely related to CCBX loan growth, and increases in salary expense and professional fees. The increase in noninterest income, provision expense and noninterest expense are all largely related to increased CCBX loan and deposit activity. In accordance with GAAP, we recognize as revenue (1) the right to be indemnified or reimbursed for fraud losses on CCBX customer loans and deposits and (2) the right to be indemnified for credit losses by our partners for expected credit losses related to loans they originate and unfunded commitments from such loans. CCBX customer credit losses are recognized in the allowance for loan loss and fraud loss is recognized in BaaS noninterest expense
.
For more information on the accounting for BaaS allowance for credit losses, reserve for unfunded commitments, credit enhancements and fraud enhancements see the section titled
“CCBX – BaaS Reporting Information.”
Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2023 to the comparable period in the prior year
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $25.3 million, or $1.86 per diluted share, compared to $16.4 million, or $1.22 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in net income over the comparable period in the prior year was primarily attributable to a $81.8 million increase in interest income and $60.4 million increase in noninterest income. These were partially offset by an increase in the provision for credit losses - loans of $69.1 million, related primarily to CCBX loan growth, and $28.0 million more in noninterest expense. The increase in noninterest income, provision expense and noninterest expense are largely related to CCBX loan and deposit growth.
Net Interest Income
Comparison of the quarter ended June 30, 2023 to the comparable quarter in the prior year
Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $62.4 million, compared to $39.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $22.5 million, or 56.3%. Yield on loans receivable was 10.85% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 7.34% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in net interest income compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was largely related to increased yield on loans from growth in higher yielding loans, primarily from CCBX, and the overall increase in interest rates resulting from the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) raising rates 3.50% since June 30, 2022 to 5.25%, with the last increase during such period on
May 3, 2023. As of June 30, 2022, the FOMC had set the interest rates at 1.75%. This increase in interest rates impacts our existing variable rate loans as well as rates on new loans. We continue to monitor the impact of these increases in interest rates. Total average loans receivable for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $2.97 billion, compared to $2.19 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Total interest and fees on loans totaled $80.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $40.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The $40.0 million increase in interest and fees on loans for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2022, was largely due to increased yield on loans from growth in higher yielding loans, primarily from CCBX, combined with the overall increase in interest rates. Total loans receivable was $3.01 billion at June 30, 2023, compared to $2.33 billion at June 30, 2022. CCBX loan growth was strong during the quarter with average loans receivable of $1.27 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $691.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $578.1 million, or 83.6%. Average CCBX yield of 16.95% was earned on CCBX loans for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to 12.35% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. CCBX yield does not include the impact of BaaS loan expense. BaaS loan expense represents the amount paid or payable to partners for credit enhancements, fraud enhancements and originating & servicing CCBX loans. The tables later in this section illustrate the impact of BaaS loan expense on CCBX loan yield. Also impacting the increase in loan interest is the increase in interest rates on variable rate loans resulting from the FOMC raising rates. The FOMC has increased interest rates from 1.75% as of June 30, 2022 to 5.25% as of June 30, 2023. We continue to monitor the impact of these increases in interest rates.
Interest income from interest earning deposits with other banks was $2.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $1.7 million, or 180.1%, due to higher interest rates, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The average balance of interest earning deposits invested with other banks for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $211.4 million, compared to $499.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. This decrease was a result of increased loan demand. The yield on these interest earning deposits with other banks increased 4.31%, to 5.08% compared to 0.77% at June 30, 2022. Interest income on investment securities increased $90,000 to $653,000 at June 30, 2023, compared to $563,000 at June 30, 2022. Average investment securities decreased $10.9 million from $121.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, to $110.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and, as a result of higher interest rates, average yield increased to 2.37% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 1.86% for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Interest expense was $21.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, a $19.4 million increase from the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Interest expense on deposits was $20.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The $19.0 million increase in interest expense on deposits was due to an increase of $534.6 million in interest bearing deposits as well as a 3.19% increase in interest rates on deposit accounts. Interest on borrowed funds was $661,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $260,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The $401,000 increase in interest expense on borrowed funds from the quarter ended June 30, 2022 is the result of an average balance increase of $19.7 million in subordinated debt, which increased during the quarter ended December 31, 2022, and an increase in interest rates. Interest expense on interest bearing deposits increased compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2022 as a result of an increase in CCBX deposits that are tied to, and reprice when, the FOMC raises rates, just like our CCBX loans which also reprice when the FOMC raises interest rates. Interest expense is expected to increase as a result of the FOMC increasing rates. Any additional FOMC interest rate increases will result in higher interest expense on interest bearing deposits which we expect will be primarily offset by higher interest rates on CCBX loans and excess cash invested in the Federal Reserve Bank or other banks.
Net interest margin was 7.58% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 5.66% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in net interest margin compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 was largely due to an increase in total loans combined with higher interest rates on new and existing variable rate loans as they reprice. Average loans increased $770.5 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. Also contributing to the increase in net interest margin compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 was interest earning deposits invested in other banks, which earned an average rate of 5.08% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to an average rate of 0.77% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
Cost of funds was 2.77% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, which is an increase of 2.48% from the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Cost of deposits for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was 2.72%, which was an 2.47% increase, from 0.25% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. These increases were largely due to an increase in higher cost CCBX deposits and a higher interest rate environment compared to June 30, 2022. CCBX deposit growth also contributed to the increase in interest expense.
Total yield on loans receivable for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was 10.85%, compared to 7.34% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. This increase in yield on loans receivable is primarily attributed to an increase in higher rate CCBX loans. For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, average CCBX loans increased $578.1 million, or 83.6%, with an average CCBX yield of 16.95%, compared to 12.35% at the quarter ended June 30, 2022. CCBX yield does not include the impact of BaaS loan expense. BaaS loan expense represents the amount paid or payable to partners for credit enhancements, fraud enhancements and originating &
servicing CCBX loans. The tables later in this section illustrate the impact of BaaS loan expense on CCBX loan yield. Average community bank loans increased $192.4 million, or 12.8%. This increase includes a decrease in average PPP loans of $29.9 million, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Average yield on community bank loans for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was 6.28% compared to 5.04% for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
The following tables show the average yield on loans and cost of deposits by segment and also illustrates the impact of BaaS loan expense on CCBX yield on loans:

CCBX yield on loans does not include the impact of BaaS loan expense. BaaS loan expense represents the amount paid or payable to partners for credit enhancements, fraud enhancements and originating & servicing CCBX loans. To determine net BaaS loan income earned from CCBX loan relationships, the Company takes BaaS loan interest income and deducts BaaS loan expense to arrive at net BaaS loan income which can be compared to interest income on the Company’s community bank loans.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, net interest margin (net interest income divided by the average total interest earning assets) and net interest spread (average yield on total interest earning assets minus average cost of total interest bearing liabilities) were 7.58% and 6.57%, respectively, compared to 5.66% and 5.51%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
The following table presents an analysis of the average balances of net interest income, net interest spread and net interest margin for the periods indicated. Loan costs included in interest income totaled $1.2 million and loan fees included in interest income totaled $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the amount of interest income not recognized on nonaccrual loans was not material.

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2023 to the comparable period in the prior year
Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was $116.8 million, compared to $69.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $47.7 million, or 69.0%. Yield on loans receivable was 10.42% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared 7.10% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in net interest income compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 was largely related to increased yield on loans from growth in higher yielding loans primarily from CCBX and higher interest rates. Total average loans receivable for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $2.84 billion, compared to $1.98 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Interest and fees on loans totaled $146.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $69.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The $76.8 million increase in interest and fees on loans for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, was largely due to increased yield on loans from growth in higher yielding CCBX loans and an overall increase in interest rates. Loan growth of $673.2 million, or 28.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to June 30, 2022, includes a decrease of $12.8 million in PPP loans that were forgiven or repaid. CCBX average loans receivable grew to $1.17 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $537.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $629.8 million, or 117.2%. Average CCBX yield of 16.56% was earned on CCBX loans for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 12.48% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. CCBX yield does not include the impact of BaaS loan expense. BaaS loan expense represents the amount paid or payable to partners for credit enhancements, fraud enhancements and originating &
servicing CCBX loans. The tables later in this section illustrate the impact of BaaS loan expense on CCBX loan yield. Also impacting the increase in loan interest is the increase in interest rates on variable rate loans resulting from the FOMC raising rates from 1.75% as of June 30, 2022 to 5.25% as of June 30, 2023, with the most recent increase during such period on May 3, 2023. We continue to monitor the impact of these increases in interest rates.
Interest income from interest earning deposits with other banks was $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $4.4 million due to higher interest rates, despite a decrease in balances, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The average balance of interest earning deposits invested with other banks for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $241.4 million, compared to $671.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This decrease was a result of increased loan demand. Additionally, the yield on these interest earning deposits with other banks increased 4.41%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. Interest income on investment securities increased $572,000 to $1.2 million, and a yield 2.29% at June 30, 2023, compared to $634,000, and a yield of 1.53%, at June 30, 2022. Average investment securities increased $22.6 million from $83.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $106.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as a result of purchasing additional securities to hold for CRA purposes, and average yield increased to 2.29% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 1.53% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Interest expense was $37.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a $34.1 million increase from the six months ended June 30, 2022. Interest expense on deposits was $35.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The $33.4 million increase in interest expense on deposits was primarily due to an increase in average interest bearing deposits of $735.3 million. Interest on borrowed funds was $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $581,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The $742,000 increase in interest expense on borrowed funds from the six months ended June 30, 2022 is the result of a decrease in average FHLB borrowings, which were paid off in full during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, partially offset by a $19.7 million average balance increase in subordinated debt, which increased during the quarter ended December 31, 2022. Interest expense is expected to increase as a result of the FOMC increasing the Fed Funds rate 0.75% during the six months ended June 30, 2023, with the most recent increase during such period on May 3, 2023. Interest expense is expected to increase as a result of the FOMC increasing rates. Any additional FOMC interest rate increases will result in higher interest expense on interest bearing deposits which we expect will be primarily offset by higher interest rates on CCBX loans and excess cash invested in the Federal Reserve Bank or other banks.
Net interest margin was 7.37% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 5.08% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in net interest margin compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 was largely a result of an increase in higher rate loans. Average loans increased $854.7 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022; the increase includes an average decrease in PPP loans of $52.6 million. Also contributing to the increase in net interest margin compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 was a $4.4 million increase in interest earned on interest earning deposits invested in other banks. These interest earning deposits earned an average rate of 4.82% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to an average rate of 0.41% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Cost of funds was 2.49% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 0.22% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Cost of deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 2.44%, which was a 2.26% increase, from 0.18% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. These increases were largely due to an increase in interest rates and an increase in interest bearing deposits. CCBX deposit growth also contributed to the increase in interest expense.
Total yield on loans receivable for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 10.42%, compared to 7.10% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase in yield on loans receivable is primarily attributed to an increase in higher rate CCBX loans. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, average CCBX loans increased $629.8 million, or 117.2%, with an average CCBX yield of 16.56%, compared to 12.48% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. CCBX yield does not include the impact of BaaS loan expense. BaaS loan expense represents the amount paid or payable to partners for credit enhancements, fraud enhancements and
originating & servicing CCBX loans. The tables later in this section illustrate the impact of BaaS loan expense on CCBX loan yield. There was an increase in average community bank loans of $225.0 million, or 15.6%, which includes an average $52.6 million decrease in PPP loans as a result of loan forgiveness/ repayments, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. Average yield on community bank loans for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 6.13%. compared to 5.10% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
The following tables show the average yield on loans and cost of deposits by segment and also illustrates the impact of BaaS loan expense on CCBX yield on loans:

CCBX yield on loans does not include the impact of BaaS loan expense. BaaS loan expense represents the amount paid or payable to partners for credit enhancements, fraud enhancements and originating & servicing CCBX loans. To determine net BaaS loan income earned from CCBX loan relationships, the Company takes BaaS loan interest income and deducts BaaS loan expense to arrive at net BaaS loan income which can be compared to interest income on the Company’s community bank loans. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure is set forth in the section titled

Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses - loans is an expense we incur to maintain an allowance for credit losses at a level that management deems appropriate to absorb inherent losses on existing loans. For a description of the factors taken into account by our management in determining the allowance for credit losses see “—Financial Condition—Allowance for Credit Losses.”
The economic environment is continuously changing with the bank failures, inflation, higher interest rates, global unrest, the war in Ukraine, political uncertainty and trade issues that may impact the provision and therefore the allowance. Effective January 1, 2023 the Company implemented the CECL allowance model which calculates reserves over the life of the loan and is largely driven by portfolio characteristics, economic outlook, and other key methodology assumptions versus the incurred loss model, which is what we were previously using. Gross loans, excluding loans held for sale, totaled $3.01 billion at June 30, 2023 and included $3.6 million in PPP loans, which are 100% guaranteed, and are excluded from the provision for credit losses - loans calculation. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans was 3.68% at June 30, 2023, compared to 2.11% at June 30, 2022.
Agreements with our CCBX partners provide for a credit enhancement provided by the partner which protects the Bank by indemnifying or reimbursing incurred losses. In accordance with accounting guidance, we estimate and record a provision for expected losses for these CCBX loans and reclassified negative deposit accounts. When the provision for credit losses - loans and provision for unfunded commitments is recorded, a credit enhancement asset is also recorded on the balance sheet through noninterest income (BaaS credit enhancements) in recognition of the CCBX partner's legal commitment to indemnify or reimburse losses. The credit enhancement asset is relieved as credit enhancement payments are received from the CCBX partner or taken from the partner's cash reserve account.
Comparison of the quarter ended June 30, 2023 to the comparable quarter in the prior year
The provision for credit losses - loans for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $52.6 million, compared to $14.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in the Company’s provision for credit losses - loans during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, is largely related to the provision for CCBX partner loans. During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, a $52.6 million provision for credit losses - loans was recorded for CCBX partner loans based on management’s analysis. The factors used in management’s analysis for community bank credit losses indicated that a small adjustment (recapture) for loan loss of $47,000 was needed for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Net charge-offs were up in 2023 compared to 2022 due to loans originated through CCBX partners. In accordance with GAAP, CCBX losses are recorded as charge-offs, but CCBX partner agreements provide for a credit enhancement that indemnifies or reimburses the Bank for net-charge-offs on CCBX loans and negative deposit accounts, except in accordance with the program agreement for one partner where the Company is responsible for credit losses on approximately 10% of a $180.5 million loan portfolio. At June 30, 2023, our portion of this portfolio represented $18.0 million in loans. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, $31.0 million of net charge-offs were recognized for CCBX loans and $9,000 of net charge-offs were recognized on community bank loans. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, $3.5 million of net charge-offs were recognized on CCBX loans and $33,000 of net recoveries were recognized for community bank loans.

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2023 to the comparable period in the prior year
The provision for credit losses - loans for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $96.1 million, compared to $27.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in the Company’s provision for credit losses - loans during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, is largely related to the provision for CCBX partner loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, a $95.8 million provision for credit losses - loans was recorded for loans originated through CCBX partners based on management’s analysis. The factors used in management’s analysis for community bank credit losses indicated that a provision for loan loss of $381,000 was needed for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Noninterest Income
Our primary sources of recurring noninterest income are BaaS indemnification income, Baas program income and deposit service charges and fees. Noninterest income does not include loan origination fees, which are generally recognized over the life of the related loan as an adjustment to yield using the interest or similar method.
Comparison of the quarter ended June 30, 2023 to the comparable quarter in the prior year
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, noninterest income totaled $58.6 million, an increase of $33.1 million, or 129.9%, compared to $25.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Noninterest income, excluding BaaS program income and BaaS indemnification income
Summary of significant noninterest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022
A description of our largest noninterest income categories are below:
BaaS Income.
Our CCBX segment provides BaaS offerings that enable our broker dealer and digital financial service providers to offer their customers banking services. In exchange for providing these services, we earn fixed fees, volume-based fees and reimbursement of costs depending on the program agreement. In accordance with GAAP, we recognize the reimbursement of noncredit fraud losses on loans and deposits originated through partners and credit enhancements related to the allowance for credit losses and reserve for unfunded commitments provided by the partner as revenue in BaaS income. CCBX credit losses are recognized in the allowance for loan loss and fraud losses are expensed in noninterest expense under BaaS fraud expense. Also in accordance with GAAP, we establish a credit enhancement asset for expected future credit losses through the recognition of BaaS credit enhancement revenue at the same time we establish an allowance for those loans though a provision for credit losses - loans. For more information on the accounting for BaaS allowance for credit losses, reserve for unfunded commitments, credit enhancements and fraud enhancements see the section titled
“CCBX – BaaS Reporting Information.”
Our CCBX segment continues to evolve, and now has 22 relationships, at varying stages, as of June 30, 2023. We continue to refine the criteria for CCBX partnerships and are exiting relationships where it makes sense and are focusing more on selecting larger and more established partners, with experienced management teams, existing customer bases and strong financial positions.
The following table illustrates the activity and evolution in CCBX relationships for the periods presented.

Deposit Service Charges and Fees.
Deposit service charges and fees include service charges on accounts, point-of-sale fees, merchant services fees and overdraft fees. Together they constitute the largest component of our noninterest income, outside of BaaS income.
Loan Referral Fees
. We earn loan referral fees when we originate a variable rate loan and the borrower enters into an interest rate swap agreement with a third party to fix the interest rate for an extended period, usually 20 or 25 years. We recognize the loan referral fee for arranging the interest rate swap. By facilitating interest rate swaps to our clients, we are able to provide them with a long-term, fixed interest rate without assuming the interest rate risk. Interest rate volatility, swap rates, and the timing of loan closings all impact the demand for long-term fixed rate swaps. The recognition of loan referral fees fluctuates in response to these market conditions and as a result we may recognize more or less, or may not recognize any, loan referral fees in some periods. Current market conditions are making interest rate swap agreements less attractive in the higher rate environment.
Gain on Sales of Loans, net
. Gain on sales of loans occurs when we sell certain CCBX loans to the originating partner, in accordance with partner agreements. Gain on sale of loans may also occur when we sell in the secondary market the guaranteed portion (generally 75% of the principal balance) of the SBA and U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) loans that we originate. This activity fluctuates based on SBA and USDA loan activity.
Unrealized (loss)/gain on equity securities, net.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized an unrealized gain on equity securities of $155,000 and $194,000, respectively, compared to the same periods ended June 30, 2022, when there was no unrealized holding gain or loss.
Other.
This category includes a variety of other income-producing activities, credit card fee income, wire transfer fees, interest earned on bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”), and SBA and USDA servicing fees.
Generally, noninterest expense is composed of all employee expenses and costs associated with operating our facilities, obtaining and retaining customer relationships and providing bank services. The largest components of noninterest expense are BaaS loan and fraud expense and salaries and employee benefits. Noninterest expense also includes operational expenses, such as legal and professional expenses, data processing and software licenses, occupancy, FDIC assessment, points of sale expense, excise taxes, director and staff expenses, marketing and other expenses.
Comparison of the quarter ended June 30, 2023 to the comparable quarter in the prior year
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, noninterest expense totaled $51.9 million, an increase of $13.7 million, or 36.0%, compared to $38.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Summary of significant noninterest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022
A description of our largest noninterest expense categories are below:
Salaries and Employee Benefits.
Salaries and employee benefits are one of the largest components of noninterest expense and include payroll expense, incentive compensation costs, equity compensation, benefit plans, health insurance and payroll taxes. Salaries and employee benefits continue to increase primarily due to continued hiring staff for our CCBX segment and additional staff for our ongoing banking related growth initiatives. As our CCBX activities grow, we expect to continue to add employees to support these lines of business. As of June 30, 2023, we had 482 full-time equivalent employees, compared to 433 at June 30, 2022, a 11.3% increase.
Data Processing and Software Licenses.
Data processing and
s
oftware licenses includes expenses related to obtaining and maintaining software required for our various functions. Data processing costs include all of our customer transaction processing and data storage, computer processing, and network costs. Data processing costs grow as we grow and add new products, customers and branches. Additionally, CCBX data processing expenses and software that aids in the reporting of CCBX activities and monitoring of transactions that helps to automate and create other efficiencies in reporting have resulted in increased expenses in the category. These expenses are expected to increase as we invest more in automated processing and as we grow product lines and our CCBX segment.
Legal and Professional Expenses.
Legal and professional costs include legal, audit and accounting expenses, consulting fees, fees for recruiting and hiring employees, and IT related security expenses. These expenses fluctuate with the consulting costs related to risk management, development of contracts for CCBX customers, audit and accounting needs, and are impacted by our reporting cycle and timing of legal and professional services. The expenses also reflect the costs associated with our infrastructure enhancement projects to improve our processing, automate processes, reduce compliance costs and enhance our data management.
Occupancy.
Occupancy expenses include rent, utilities, janitorial and other maintenance expenses, property insurances and taxes. Also included is depreciation on building, leasehold, furniture, fixtures and equipment. Although our hybrid and remote workforce is increasing, which helps keep some occupancy expenses down, we do expect occupancy expenses to increase as we continue to grow.
FDIC Assessments.
FDIC assessments are assessed to fund the DIF to insure and protect the depositors of insured banks and to resolve failed banks. The assessment rate is based on a number of factors and recalculated each quarter. As deposits increase, the FDIC assessment expense will generally increase. However, our rate has decreased in 2023 as a result of improvement in the ratios that determine the rate at which insured deposits are assessed, compared to the comparable prior year period. On October 18, 2022 the FDIC finalized an increase of 2 basis points in the initial base deposit insurance assessment rates schedules. The rise is intended to increase the reserve ratio of the Deposit Insurance Fund to 1.35%, the statutory requirement. The increase in the base rates will remain in place until the reserve ratio reaches or exceeds 2.0%.
Excise Taxes.
Excise taxes are assessed on Washington state income and are based on gross income. Gross income is reduced by certain allowed deductions and income attributed to other states is also removed to arrive at the taxable base. Excise taxes increased as a result of increased income subject to excise taxes.
Point of Sale Expenses.
Point of sale expenses are incurred as part of the process that allows businesses to accept payment for goods or services. Generally, point of sale expense increases as point of sale activity increases, as does point of sale income which is recognized in other income.
Director and Staff Expenses.
Director and staff expenses includes compensation for director service, continuing education for employees and other director and staff related expenses. As conferences and other professional events have resumed we have seen increased expenses related to employee travel, and continuing education.
Marketing.
Marketing and promotion costs were flat because we are using more cost-effective advertising options; however, we expect to see advertising expenses increase as we deploy more branding and targeted advertising for the community bank and CCBX.
Other.
This category includes dues and memberships, office supplies, mail services, telephone, examination fees, internal loan expenses, services charges from banks, operational losses, directors and officer’s insurance, donations and miscellaneous other expenses. Provision for unfunded commitments is only included in this category for three and six months ended June 30, 2022 as the expense/credit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 is included in the provision/recapture for unfunded commitments.
BaaS loan and fraud expense.
Included in BaaS loan and fraud expense is partner loan expense including overdraft balances and partner fraud expense. Partner loan expense represents the amount paid or payable to partners for credit enhancements, fraud enhancements and
originating & servicing CCBX loans. Partner fraud expense represents noncredit fraud losses on loans and deposits originated through partners. Fraud losses are recorded when incurred as losses in noninterest expense, and the reimbursement from the CCBX partner is recorded in noninterest income, resulting in a net impact of zero to the income statement. For more information on the accounting for BaaS loan and fraud expenses see the section titled “CCBX – BaaS Reporting Information.”
The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the BaaS loan and fraud expenses:

Income Tax Expense
The amount of income tax expense we incur is impacted by the amounts of our pre-tax income, tax-exempt income and other nondeductible expenses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at current income tax rates in effect for the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company is subject to various state taxes that are assessed as CCBX activities and employees expand into other states, which has increased the overall tax rate used in calculating the provision for income taxes in the current and future periods. On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which, among other things, implements a new 15%
corporate alternative minimum tax for certain large corporations, a 1% excise tax on stock buybacks, and several tax incentives to promote clean energy and climate initiatives. These provisions were effective beginning January 1, 2023. Based on its current analysis of the provisions, we do not expect this legislation to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Comparison of the quarter ended June 30, 2023 to the comparable quarter in the prior year
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, income tax expense totaled $3.9 million, compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The $937,000 increase in income tax expense is the result of higher net income, combined with the addition of various state taxes that are being assessed as CCBX activities and employees expanding into other states, which has increased the overall tax rate used in calculating the provision for income taxes in the current and future periods. The effective tax rate was 23.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 22.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The effective tax rate was higher for the three months ended June 30, 2023 due to the addition of various state taxes that are being assessed as CCBX activities and employees expand into other states.
Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2023 to the comparable period in the prior year
For the six months ended June 30, 2023 income tax expense totaled $6.9 million, compared to $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The $2.3 million increase in income tax expense is the result of higher net income. Our effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were 21.5% and 21.9%, respectively.
Segment Information
As defined in ASC 280,
Segment Reporting
, an operating segment is a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the enterprise’s chief operating decision makers to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. We evaluate performance based on an internal performance measurement accounting system, which provides line of business results. This system uses various techniques to assign balance sheet and income statement amounts to the business segments, including allocations of income and expense. A primary objective of this measurement system and related internal financial reporting practices are to produce consistent results that reflect the underlying financial impact of the segments on the Company and to provide a basis of support for strategic decision making. The accounting policies applicable to our segments are those that apply to our preparation of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. Based on these criteria, we have identified three segments: the community bank, CCBX and treasury & administration. The primary focus of the community bank is on providing a wide range of banking products and services to consumers and small to medium sized businesses in the broader Puget Sound region in the state of Washington and through the Internet and our mobile banking application. We currently operate 14 full-service banking locations, 12 of which are located in Snohomish County, where we are the largest community bank by deposit market share, and two of which are located in neighboring counties (one in King County and one in Island County). The CCBX segment provides banking as a service (“BaaS”) that allows our broker-dealer and digital financial service partners to offer their customers banking services. The CCBX segment has 22 partners as of June 30, 2023. The treasury & administration segment includes treasury management, overall administration and all other aspects of the Company.
The management accounting policies and processes utilized in compiling segment financial information are highly subjective and, unlike financial accounting, are not based on authoritative guidance similar to GAAP. As a result, reported segments and the financial information of the reported segments are not necessarily comparable with similar information reported by other financial institutions. Additionally, because of the interrelationships of the various segments, the information presented is not indicative of how the segments would perform if they operated as independent entities. Changes in management structure or allocation methodologies and procedures may result in future changes to previously reported segment financial data. The Company continues to evaluate its methodology on allocating items to the Company’s various segments to support strategic business decisions by the Company’s executive leadership. Income and expenses that are specific to a segment are directly posted to each segment. Additionally, certain indirect expenses are allocated to each segment utilizing various metrics, such as number of employees, utilization of space, and allocations based on loan and deposit balances. We have implemented a transfer pricing process that credits or charges the community bank and CCBX segments with intrabank interest income or expense for the difference in average loans and average deposits, with the treasury & administration segment as the offset for those entries. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in “
Note 1 – Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
” in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's most recently filed 10-K report.
Community bank total assets as of June 30, 2023 increased $99.7 million, or 6.1%, to $1.72 billion, compared to $1.62 billion as of December 31, 2022. Loans receivable net of deferred fees for the community bank segment increased $98.3 million, or 6.1%, to $1.71 billion as of June 30, 2023, compared to $1.61 billion as of December 31, 2022. The increase in community bank loans receivable is the result of gross loan growth of $98.5 million, which includes $1.1 million in PPP loan forgiveness and paydowns during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Total community bank deposits decreased $28.8 million, or 1.9%, to $1.51 billion, as of June 30, 2023, compared to $1.54 billion as of December 31, 2022. The decrease in community bank deposits was a result of pricing disciplines as some customer sought higher rate products elsewhere. Our cost of deposits for the community bank was 0.98% for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
CCBX total assets as of June 30, 2023 increased $381.0 million, or 29.3%, to $1.68 billion, compared to $1.30 billion as of December 31, 2022.

Total CCBX loans receivable increased $282.0 million, or 27.9%, to $1.29 billion as of June 30, 2023, compared to $1.01 billion as of December 31, 2022. The increase in loans receivable is the result of increased activity with CCBX partners. CCBX allowance for credit losses increased to $90.1 million as of June 30, 2023, compared to $53.4 million as of December 31, 2022 as a result of increased loss rates and balances on CCBX loans which has impacted the allowance calculation. CCBX partner agreements provide for, and the Company has collected in full, credit enhancements that cover the $31.0 million and $63.2 million in net charge-offs on CCBX loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Total CCBX deposits increased $373.8 million, or 29.2%, to $1.65 billion, compared to $1.28 billion as of December 31, 2022 as a result of growth within the CCBX relationships. This does not include an additional $9.9 million in CCBX deposits that are transferred off the balance sheet as of June 30, 2023.
Treasury & administration total assets as of June 30, 2023 decreased $89.8 million, or 41.2%, to $128.2 million, compared to $218.0 million as of December 31, 2022.

Loan referral fees decreased $128,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The recognition of loan referral fees fluctuates in response to market conditions and as a result we may recognize more or less, or may not recognize any, loan referral fees in some periods. Additionally, in the six months ended June 30, 2022, there was a no net unrealized gain on equity securities recognized compared to an unrealized gain of $194,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Financial Condition
Our total assets increased $390.8 million, or 12.4%, to $3.54 billion at June 30, 2023 from $3.14 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase is primarily the result of $380.3 million increase in loans receivable during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Loans Held For Sale
During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, $88.6 million in CCBX loans were transferred to loans held for sale, with $80.0 million in loans sold. A portion of these loans were sold at par and a portion were sold with a gain on sale of $23,000. As

Loan Portfolio
Our primary source of income is derived through interest earned on loans. A substantial portion of our loan portfolio consists of commercial real estate loans and commercial and industrial loans in the Puget Sound region. Our consumer and other loans also represent a significant portion of our loan portfolio with the growth of our CCBX segment. Our loan portfolio represents the highest yielding component of our earning assets.
As of June 30, 2023, loans receivable totaled $3.01 billion, an increase of $380.3 million, or 14.5%, compared to December 31, 2022.

The increase includes CCBX loan growth of $282.0 million, or 27.9%, and community bank loan growth of $98.5 million, or 6.1%, which includes a $1.1 million, or 23.5%, reduction in PPP loans due to forgiveness and principal paydowns.
Loans as a percentage of deposits were 96.2% as of June 30, 2023, compared to 93.2% as of December 31, 2022. We remain focused on serving our communities and markets by growing loans and funding those loans with customer deposits.

CCBX yield does not include the impact of BaaS loan expense. BaaS loan expense represents the amount paid or payable to partners for credit enhancements, fraud enhancements and originating & servicing CCBX loans. To determine net BaaS loan income earned from CCBX loan relationships, the Company takes BaaS loan interest income and deducts BaaS loan expense to arrive at net BaaS loan income which can be compared to interest income on the Company’s community bank loans. Net BaaS loan income is a non-GAAP measure. See the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures set forth in the section titled
“GAAP Reconciliation and Management Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures”
for the impact of BaaS loan expense on CCBX yield.

Loan yield is annualized for the three months ended for each period presented and includes loans held for sale and nonaccrual loans.
Commercial and Industrial Loans.
Commercial and industrial loans increased $41.2 million, or 13.2%, to $353.8 million as of June 30, 2023, from $312.6 million as of December 31, 2022. The increase in commercial and industrial loans receivable over December 31, 2022 was due to a $49.9 million increase in other commercial and industrial loans partially offset by $1.1 million in forgiven and repaid PPP loans and a decrease of $7.6 million in capital call lines. Included in the commercial and industrial loan balance is $138.4 million and $146.0 million in capital call lines resulting from relationships with our CCBX partners as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, there were $60.3 million in CCBX other commercial loans, compared to $14.9 million at December 31, 2022.
Commercial and industrial loans are underwritten after evaluating and understanding the borrower’s ability to operate profitably and effectively. These loans are primarily made based on the borrower’s ability to service the debt from income. Most commercial and industrial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets, such as accounts receivable, inventory or equipment, and we generally obtain personal guarantees on these loans. Commercial and industrial loans includes $48.6 million and $45.1 million in loans to financial institutions as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Also included in commercial and industrial loans is $3.6 million and $4.7 million in PPP loans as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. The impact of PPP loans on the Company’s financial statements has significantly lessened as nearly all of the PPP loans have been paid off and/or forgiven.
Construction, Land and Land Development Loans.
Construction, land and land development loans decreased $27.3 million, or 12.8%, to $186.7 million as of June 30, 2023, from $214.1 million as of December 31, 2022. The decrease is attributed to the completion of a few construction and development projects.
Unfunded loan commitments for construction, land and land development loans were $159.1 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $142.5 million at December 31, 2022. Although we have seen a strong commercial and residential real estate market in the Puget Sound region thus far in 2023, the economic environment is continuously changing with bank failures, inflation, higher interest rates, global unrest, the war in Ukraine, political uncertainty and trade issues that have resulted in some economic uncertainty and slowing in construction lending.
Construction, land and land development loans are comprised of loans to fund construction, land acquisition and land development construction. The properties securing these loans are primarily located in the Puget Sound region and are comprised of both residential and commercial properties, including owner occupied properties and investor properties. As of June 30, 2023, construction, land and land development loans included $78.1 million in commercial construction loans, $42.5 million in undeveloped land loans, $35.0 million in residential construction loans and $31.1 million in other construction, land and land development loans, compared to $100.7 million in commercial construction loans, $44.6 million in undeveloped land loans, $32.9 million in residential construction loans and $35.9 million in other construction, land and land development loans as of December 31, 2022.
Residential Real Estate Loans.
Our one-to-four family residential real estate loans increased $14.0 million, or 3.1%, to $463.2 million as of June 30, 2023, from $449.2 million as of December 31, 2022 due to an increase of $7.4 million in community bank loans combined with an increase of $6.6 million in CCBX loans.
As of June 30, 2023, there were $251.2 million in CCBX home equity loans included in residential real estate, compared to $244.6 million at December 31, 2022, as a result of increased activity. These home equity lines of credit are secured by residential real estate and are accessed by using a credit card.
We have purchased residential mortgages originated through other financial institutions to hold for investment with the intent to diversify our residential mortgage loan portfolio, meet certain regulatory requirements and increase our interest income. We last purchased residential mortgage loans in 2018. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we held $9.3 million and $9.4 million, respectively, in purchased residential real estate mortgage loans. These loans purchased typically have a fixed rate with a term of 15 to 30 years and are collateralized by one-to-four family residential real estate. We have a defined set of credit guidelines that we use when evaluating these loans. Although purchased loans were originated and underwritten by another institution, our mortgage, credit, and compliance departments conduct an independent review of each underlying loan that includes re-underwriting each of these loans to our credit and compliance standards.
Like our commercial real estate loans, our residential real estate loans are secured by real estate, the value of which may fluctuate significantly over a short period of time as a result of market conditions in the area in which the real estate is located. Adverse developments affecting real estate values in our market areas could therefore increase the credit risk associated with these loans, impair the value of property pledged as collateral on loans, and affect our ability to sell the collateral upon foreclosure without a loss or additional losses.
Commercial Real Estate Loans.
Commercial real estate loans increased $115.3 million, or 11.0%, to $1.16 billion as of June 30, 2023, from $1.05 billion as of December 31, 2022.
These increases, which occurred across the various segments of our portfolio, were due to our commitment to grow the portfolio in the Puget Sound region. We actively seek commercial real estate loans in our markets and our lenders are experienced in competing for these loans and managing these relationships.
We make commercial mortgage loans collateralized by owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied real estate, as well as multi-family residential loans. The real estate securing our existing commercial real estate loans includes a wide variety of property types, such as manufacturing and processing facilities, business parks, warehouses, retail centers, convenience stores, hotels and motels, low rise office buildings, mixed-use residential and commercial, and other properties. We originate both fixed- and adjustable-rate loans with terms up to 20 years. Fixed-rate loans typically amortize over a 10 to 25 year period with balloon payments due at the end of five to ten years. Adjustable-rate loans are generally based on the prime rate and adjust with the prime rate or are based on term equivalent FHLB rates. At June 30, 2023, approximately 33.2% of the commercial real estate loan portfolio consisted of fixed rate loans. Commercial real estate loans represented 38.6% of our loan portfolio at June 30, 2023 and are historically our largest source of revenue. As of June 30, 2023, we held $42.1 million in purchased commercial real estate loans, compared to $42.4 million at December 31, 2022. Our credit administration team has substantial experience in underwriting, managing, monitoring and working out commercial real estate loans, and remains diligent in communicating and proactively working with borrowers to help mitigate potential credit deterioration.
Consumer and Other.
Consumer and other loans increased $237.7 million, or 39.0%, to $846.5 million, from $608.8 million as of December 31, 2022, as a result of growth in CCBX loans originated through our partners.
CCBX consumer loans totaled $845.0 million as of June 30, 2023, compared to $607.0 million at December 31, 2022. CCBX consumer loans include installment loans, credit cards, lines of credit and other loans. Our community bank consumer and other loans totaled $1.5 million as of June 30, 2023, compared to $1.7 million at December 31, 2022 and are comprised of personal lines of credit, automobile, boat, and recreational vehicle loans, and secured term loans.
Industry Exposure and Categories of Loans
We have a diversified loan portfolio, representing a wide variety of industries. Our major categories of loans are commercial real estate, consumer and other loans, residential real estate, commercial and industrial, and construction, land and land development loans. Together they represent $3.01 billion in outstanding loan balances. When combined with $2.34 billion in unused commitments the total of these categories is $5.36 billion. However, total exposure on CCBX loans is subject to portfolio and partner maximum limits. See "Material Cash Requirements and Capital Resources" for maximum limits on CCBX loans by category.
The following table summarizes our community bank loan commitments by industry for our commercial real estate portfolio as of June 30, 2023:
As illustrated in the table below, our CCBX partners originate a large number of mostly smaller dollar loans, resulting in an average consumer loan balance of just $1,500.

Nonperforming Assets
Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations as they become due, as well as when required by applicable regulations. Loans may be placed on nonaccrual status regardless of whether or not such loans are considered past due. In general, we place loans on nonaccrual status when they become 90 days past due. We also place loans on nonaccrual status if they are less than 90 days past due if the collection of principal or interest is in doubt. Installment (closed end) consumer loans and revolving (open-ended loans, such as credit cards) originated through CCBX partners continue to accrue interest until they are charged-off at 120 days past due for installment loans (primarily unsecured loans to consumers) and 180 days past due for revolving loans (primarily credit cards). These consumer loans are reported out as nonperforming/substandard loans, 90+ days past due and still accruing. As a result of the type of loans (primarily consumer loans) originated through our CCBX partners, we anticipate that balances 90 days past due or more and still accruing will increase as those loans grow. When loans are placed on nonaccrual status, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed from income and all interest accruals are stopped. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received in excess of principal balance. Loans are returned to accrual status if we believe that all remaining principal and interest is fully collectible and there has been at least six months of sustained repayment performance since the loan was placed on nonaccrual status. We define nonperforming loans as loans on nonaccrual status and accruing loans 90 days or more past due. Nonperforming assets also include other real estate owned and repossessed assets.
We believe our lending practices and active approach to managing nonperforming assets has resulted in sound asset quality and timely resolution of problem assets. We have procedures in place to assist us in maintaining the overall credit quality of our loan portfolio. We have established underwriting guidelines, concentration limits and we also monitor our delinquency levels for any negative or adverse trends. We actively manage problem assets to reduce our risk for loss.
We had $33.7 million in nonperforming assets as of June 30, 2023, compared to $33.2 million as of December 31, 2022. This includes $26.3 million in CCBX loans more than 90 days past due and still accruing interest as of June 30, 2023, compared to $26.1 million at December 31, 2022. All of our nonperforming assets were nonperforming loans as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Our nonperforming loans to loans receivable ratio was 1.12% at June 30, 2023, compared to 1.26% at December 31, 2022. The increase in nonperforming assets was due to a $233,000 increase in CCBX partner loans that are 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest. Additionally, community bank nonaccrual loans increased $319,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2023 due to the addition of three loans partially offset by principal reductions.
Our community bank credit quality remains strong, as demonstrated by the low level of community bank charge-offs and nonperforming loan balance for the six months ended June 30, 2023. CCBX loans have a higher level of expected losses than our community bank loans, which is reflected in the factors for the allowance for credit losses. Agreements with our
CCBX partners provide for a credit enhancement which protects the Bank by indemnifying or reimbursing incurred losses, when accruing consumer loans originated through CCBX partners are charged-off at 120 days past due for installment loans (primarily unsecured loans to consumers) and 180 days past due for revolving loans (primarily credit cards).

Agreements with our CCBX partners provide for a credit enhancement which protects the Bank by indemnifying or reimbursing incurred losses. Under the agreement, the CCBX partner will indemnify or reimburse the Bank for its loss/charge-off on these loans.
Allowance for credit losses
The ACL is an estimate of the expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. The ACL is evaluated and calculated on a collective basis for those loans which share similar risk characteristics. At each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether the loans in a pool continue to exhibit similar risk characteristics as the other loans in the pool and whether it needs to evaluate the allowance on an individual basis. The Bank must estimate expected credit losses over the loans’ contractual terms, adjusted for expected prepayments. In estimating the life of the loan, the Bank cannot extend the contractual term of the loan for expected extensions, renewals, and modifications, unless the extension or renewal options are included in the contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancellable by the Bank. Because expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual life adjusted for estimated prepayments, determination of the life
of the loan may significantly affect the ACL. The Company has chosen to segment its portfolio consistent with the manner in which it manages the risk of the type of credit.
•
Community Bank Portfolio: The ACL calculation is derived for loan segments utilizing loan level information and relevant information from internal and external sources related to past events and current conditions. In addition, the Company incorporates a reasonable and supportable forecast.
•
CCBX Portfolio: The Bank calculates the ACL on loans on an aggregate basis based on each partner and product level, segmenting the risk inherent in the CCBX portfolio based on qualitative and quantitative trends in the portfolio.
Also included in the ACL are qualitative reserves to cover losses that are expected, but in the Company’s assessment may not be adequately represented in the quantitative method. For example, factors that the Company considers include environmental business conditions, borrower’s financial condition, credit rating and the volume and severity of past due loans and non-accrual loans. Based on this analysis, the Company records a provision for loan losses to maintain the allowance at appropriate levels.
As of June 30, 2023, the allowance for credit losses totaled $110.8 million, or 3.68% of total loans. As of December 31, 2022, the allowance for loan losses totaled $74.0 million, or 2.82% of total loans. Effective January 1, 2023 the Company implemented the CECL allowance model which calculates reserves over the life of the loan and is largely driven by portfolio characteristics, economic outlook, and other key methodology assumptions versus the incurred loss model, which is what we were previously using. As a result of implementing CECL, there was a one-time adjustment to the 2023 opening allowance balance of $3.9 million. The day one CECL adjustment for community bank loans included a reduction of $310,000 to the community bank allowance driven by the reversal of the unallocated balance and a reduction of $340,000 related to the community bank unfunded commitment reserve also driven by the reversal of the unallocated balance. This was offset by an increase to the CCBX allowance for $4.2 million. With the mirror image approach accounting related to the contingent credit enhancement asset for CCBX partner loans, there was a CECL day one increase to the indemnification asset in the amount of $4.5 million. Net, the day one impact to retained earnings for the Bank’s transition to CECL was an increase of $954,000, excluding the impact of income taxes.
The increase in the Company’s allowance for credit losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022, is largely related to the provision for CCBX partner loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, a $95.8 million provision for credit losses - loans was recorded for CCBX partner loans based on management’s analysis. The factors used in management’s analysis for community bank credit losses indicated that a provision for credit losses - loans of $381,000 was needed for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The economic environment is continuously changing with the bank failures, inflation, higher interest rates, global unrest, the war in Ukraine, political uncertainty and trade issues that have resulted in some economic uncertainty. As described above, CCBX loans have a higher level of expected losses than our community bank loans, which is reflected in the factors for the allowance for credit losses.
Agreements with our CCBX partners provide for a credit enhancement provided by the partner which protects the Bank by indemnifying or reimbursing incurred losses. In accordance with accounting guidance, we estimate and record a provision for expected losses for these CCBX loans and reclassified negative deposit accounts. When the provision for credit losses - loans and provision for unfunded commitments is recorded, a credit enhancement asset is also recorded on the balance sheet through noninterest income (BaaS credit enhancements) in recognition of the CCBX partner's legal commitment to indemnify or reimburse losses. The credit enhancement asset is relieved as credit enhancement payments and recoveries are received from the CCBX partner or taken from the partner's cash reserve account. Partner fraud includes noncredit fraud losses on loans and deposits originated through partners. Agreements with our CCBX partners also provide protection to the Bank from fraud by indemnifying or reimbursing incurred fraud losses. Fraud losses are recorded when incurred as losses in noninterest expense, and the enhancement received from the CCBX partner is recorded in noninterest income, resulting in a net impact of zero to the income statement. CCBX partners also pledge a cash reserve account at the Bank which the Bank can collect from when losses occur. That account is then replenished by the partner on a regular interval. Although agreements with our CCBX partners provide for credit enhancements that provide protection to the Bank from credit and fraud losses by indemnifying or reimbursing incurred credit and fraud losses, if our partner is unable to fulfill their contracted obligations to replenish their cash reserve account then the Bank would be exposed to additional losses, as a result of this counterparty risk. If a CCBX partner does not replenish their cash reserve account then the Bank can declare the agreement in default, take over servicing and cease paying the partner for servicing the loan and providing credit enhancements. The Bank would write-off any remaining credit enhancement asset from the CCBX partner but would retain the full yield and any fee income on the loan portfolio going forward, and BaaS loan expense would decrease once default occurred and payments to the CCBX partner were stopped.
The allowance for credit losses to nonaccrual loans ratio decreased as of June 30, 2023, compared to June 30, 2022 as a result of an increase of $7.2 million in nonaccrual community bank loans, combined with an increase of $61.4 million in the allowance for credit losses. The increase in the allowance for credit losses for the three and six June 30, 2023 compared to the three and six June 30, 2022, is largely related to the increase in the allowance for loans originated through our CCBX partners. CCBX partner agreements provide for, and the Company has collected in full, credit enhancements that cover the $31.0 million and $63.2 million in net charge-offs on CCBX loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. At June 30, 2023, the allowance for credit losses for CCBX partner loans totaled $90.1 million, compared to $28.6 million at June 30, 2022

Although we believe that we have established our allowance for credit losses in accordance with GAAP and that the allowance for credit losses was adequate to provide for expected losses in the portfolio at all times shown above, future provisions for credit losses will be subject to ongoing evaluations of the risks in our loan portfolio. We have not seen an increase in community bank credit losses due to COVID-19 as originally anticipated, as evidenced by the low level of charge-offs and nonperforming loans, however, the economic environment is continuously changing with the bank failures, inflation, higher interest rates, global unrest, the war in Ukraine, political uncertainty and trade issues that have resulted in some economic uncertainty. If economic conditions worsen then Washington state and Puget Sound region may experience a more severe economic downturn, and our asset quality could deteriorate, which may require material additional provisions for credit losses.
Securities
We use our securities portfolio primarily as a source of liquidity and collateral that can be readily sold or pledged for public deposits or other business purposes. At June 30, 2023, 88.6% of our investment portfolio consisted of U.S. Treasury securities. The remainder of our securities portfolio was invested in municipal bonds, U.S. Agency collateralized mortgage obligations and U.S. Agency residential mortgage-backed securities. Because we target a loan-to-deposit ratio in the range of 90% to 100%, we prioritize liquidity over the earnings of our securities portfolio. At June 30, 2023, our loan-to-deposit ratio was 96.2% due to our significant growth in both loans and deposits. Our securities portfolio represented less than 5% of assets. To the extent our securities represent more than 5% of assets, absent an immediate need for liquidity, we anticipate investing excess funds to provide a higher return.
As of June 30, 2023, the amortized cost of our investment securities totaled $112.8 million, an increase of $11.5 million, or 11.4%, compared to $101.3 million as of December 31, 2022. The increase in the securities portfolio was due to the purchase of three securities for $11.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. These securities were purchased for CRA purposes and placed in our held-to-maturity portfolio. The existing securities in our held-to-maturity portfolio were previously purchased for and are being held for CRA purposes.
Our investment portfolio consists of securities classified as AFS and, to a lesser amount, held-to-maturity. The carrying values of our investment securities classified as AFS are adjusted for unrealized gain or loss, and any gain or loss is reported on an after-tax basis as a component of other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity. As of June 30, 2023, our AFS portfolio has an unrealized loss of $2.1 million, compared to an unrealized loss of $3.0 million as of December 31, 2022.

We held a $2.2 million equity interest in a financial technology company as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, which consists of common stock and preferred shares.
Additionally, we held a $350,000 equity interest in a technology company of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
We invest in investment funds that are designed to help accelerate technology adoption at banks and have invested in three separate funds. These funds are carried at fair value as reported by the funds. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we contributed $180,000 with investment funds designed to help accelerate technology adoption at banks, and recognized net gains of $194,000, resulting in an equity interest of $830,000 at June 30, 2023. The Company has committed up to $763,000 in capital for these investment funds, however, the Company is not obligated to fund these commitments prior to a capital call.
Deposits
We offer a variety of deposit products that have a wide range of interest rates and terms, including demand, money market, savings, and time accounts as well as IntraFi network sweep deposits. Sweep deposits enable us to provide an FDIC insured deposit option to customers that have balances in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. This service trades our customers’ funds as certificates of deposit or interest bearing demand deposits in increments under the FDIC insured amount to other participating financial institutions and in exchange we receive time deposit or interest bearing demand investments from participating financial institutions in a reciprocal agreement. We rely primarily on competitive pricing policies, convenient locations, electronic delivery channels (internet and mobile), and personalized service to attract new deposits and retain existing deposits. Additionally, we offer deposit products through our CCBX segment. CCBX deposits are generally classified as interest bearing negotiable order of withdrawal (“NOW”) and money market accounts. CCBX deposit products allow us to offer a broader range of partner specific products, which include products designed to reach specific under-served or under-banked populations served by our CCBX partners.
Total deposits as of June 30, 2023 were $3.16 billion, an increase of $345.1 million, or 12.2%, compared to $2.82 billion as of December 31, 2022. The increase in deposits was largely in core deposits, which increased $451.2 million to $3.14 billion from $2.69 billion at December 31, 2022. We define core deposits as all deposits except time deposits and brokered deposits. The $451.2 million increase in core deposits is also largely from growth in the CCBX segment, which accounted for $475.4 million of the increase, partially offset by a decrease of $24.1 million in community bank deposits. The slight decrease in community bank deposits was a result of pricing disciplines as some customer sought higher rate products elsewhere. Our cost of deposits for the community bank was 0.98% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. BaaS-brokered deposits are now classified as NOW accounts due to a change in the relationship agreement with one of our partners; these deposits increased $173.6 million to $275.2 million as of June 30, 2023. These deposits increased as a result of sweeping them back on the balance sheet. Additionally, as of June 30, 2023 we have access to $9.9 million in CCBX customer deposits that are currently being transferred from the Bank’s balance sheet to other financial institutions on a daily basis. The Bank could retain these deposits for liquidity and funding purposes if needed. If a portion of these deposits are retained, they would be classified as NOW accounts.
Included in total deposits is $1.65 billion in CCBX deposits, an increase of $373.8 million, or 29.2%, compared to $1.28 billion as of December 31, 2022. CCBX customer deposit relationships include deposits with CCBX end customers, operating and non-operating deposit accounts. The deposits from our CCBX segment are generally classified as interest bearing NOW and money market accounts.
Total noninterest bearing deposits as of June 30, 2023 were $725.6 million, a decrease of $49.4 million, or 6.4%, compared to $775.0 million as of December 31, 2022. Noninterest bearing deposits represent 22.9% and 27.5% of total deposits for June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Total interest bearing account balances, excluding time deposits, as of June 30, 2023 were $2.41 billion, an increase of $399.1 million, or 19.8%, compared to $2.01 billion as of December 31, 2022. The $399.1 million increase is the due in part to former BaaS-brokered deposits now being classified as NOW accounts in the first quarter of 2023 due to a change in the relationship agreement with one of our partners, combined with CCBX growth in interest bearing deposits and a community bank increase in interest bearing deposits of $49.0 million. Included in total deposits is $240.3 million in IntraFi network NOW and money market sweep accounts as of June 30, 2023, which provides our customers with fully insured deposits through a sweep and exchange of deposits with other financial institutions.
Total time deposit balances as of June 30, 2023 were $24.8 million, a decrease of $4.6 million, or 15.7%, from $29.4 million as of December 31, 2022. The decrease is due to the strong increase in core deposits, and our focus on core deposits and letting higher rate deposits run off as they mature. We have seen competitors increase rates on time deposits, and we have not globally matched their rates in response as we focus on growing and retaining less costly core deposits.

Average deposits for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were $3.04 billion, an increase of 15.7% compared to $2.63 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in average deposits was primarily due to an increase in core deposits, primarily in interest rate bearing deposits. We expect deposits to increase with continued growth in our primary market areas, the increase in commercial lending relationships for which we also seek deposit balances and the results of business development efforts by branch managers, treasury service personnel and lenders.
The average rate paid on total deposits was 2.72% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 0.25% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The average rate paid on NOW and money market accounts increased 3.35% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The average rate paid on time
deposits of less than $100,000 increased 0.09% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The average rate paid on time deposits greater than $100,000 increased 0.05% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The average rate paid on savings increased 0.21% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The average rate paid on BaaS brokered deposits decreased 0.50% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The overall higher average rate paid on interest bearing accounts in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 is due to the recent interest rate increases by the FOMC. Increased Fed Funds rates along with competition are expected to continue to impact future cost of deposits and our pricing strategies.
The average rate paid on total deposits was 2.44% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 0.18% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The average rate paid on NOW and money market accounts increased 3.14% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The average rate paid on time deposits of less than $100,000 decreased 0.03% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The average rate paid on time deposits greater than $100,000 decreased 1.05% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, due to the recognition of additional interest expense of $130,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2022 to correct interest on CDs from a previous period. The average rate paid on savings was 0.19% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 0.03% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The average rate paid on BaaS brokered deposits increased 3.66% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The overall higher average rate paid on interest bearing accounts in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 is due to the recent interest rate increases by the FOMC.

Annualized calculations shown for periods presented.
The ratio of average noninterest bearing deposits to average total deposits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was 23.6% and 25.3%, respectively, compared to
31.9% and 42.4%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
Uninsured Deposits
The FDIC insures our deposits up to $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank for each account ownership category. Deposits that exceed insurance limits are uninsured. At June 30, 2023, deposits totaled $3.16 billion, of which total estimated uninsured deposits were $632.1 million, or 20.0% of total deposits, compared to $835.8 million, or 29.7% of total deposits as of December 31, 2022. At June 30, 2022, deposits totaled $2.70 billion, of which total estimated uninsured deposits were $812.1 million, or 30.1% of total deposits. The Bank is using sweep deposits to provide our customers with fully insured deposits through a sweep and exchange of deposits with other financial institutions.
Estimated uninsured time deposits totaled $2.6 million as of June 30, 2023. The table below shows the estimated uninsured time deposits, by account, for the maturity periods indicated:

Borrowings
We have the ability to utilize short-term to long-term borrowings to supplement deposits to fund our lending and investment activities, each of which is discussed below.
Federal Reserve Bank Line of Credit.
The Federal Reserve allows us to borrow against our line of credit through a borrower in custody agreement utilizing the discount window, which is collateralized by certain loans. As of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, total borrowing capacity of $433.8 million and $28.9 million, respectively, was available under this arrangement. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, Federal Reserve advances totaled zero. Additional loans were pledged during the first six months of 2023 to significantly increase the borrowing capacity of the Bank in the event of a liquidity crisis.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances.
The FHLB allows us to borrow against our line of credit, which is collateralized by certain loans. As of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, we had borrowing capacity of
$126.0 million
and
$109.0 million, respectively, with the FHLB. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, FHLB advances totaled zero.

Junior Subordinated Debentures.
In 2004, we issued $3.6 million in junior subordinated debentures to Coastal (WA) Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”), of which we own all of the outstanding common securities. The Trust used the proceeds from the issuance of its underlying common securities and preferred securities to purchase the debentures issued by the Company. These debentures are the Trust’s only assets and the interest payments from the debentures finance the distributions paid on the preferred securities. The debentures bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the 3-month LIBOR plus 2.10%. The effective rate as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was 7.65% and 6.87%, respectively. Beginning with rate adjustments that occur after June 30, 2023, the rate will be based off three-month CME Term SOFR plus 0.26%. We generally have the right to defer payment of interest on the debentures at any time or from time to time for a period not exceeding five years provided that no extension period may extend beyond the stated maturity of the debentures. During any such extension period, distributions on the Trust’s preferred securities will also be deferred, and our ability to pay dividends on our common stock will be restricted. The Trust’s preferred securities are mandatorily redeemable upon maturity of the debentures, or upon earlier redemption as provided in the indenture, subject to Federal Reserve approval. If the debentures are redeemed prior to maturity, the redemption price will be the principal amount and any accrued but unpaid interest. We unconditionally guarantee payment of accrued and unpaid distributions required to be paid on the Trust securities subject to certain exceptions, the redemption price with respect to any Trust securities called for redemption and amounts due if the Trust is liquidated or terminated.
Subordinated Debt
. In August 2021, the Company issued a subordinated note in the amount of $25.0 million. The note matures on September 1, 2031, and bears interest at the rate of 3.375% per year for five years and, thereafter, reprices quarterly beginning September 1, 2026, at a rate equal to the three-month SOFR plus 2.76%. The five-year 3.375% interest period ends on September 1, 2026. We may redeem the subordinated note, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, in principal redemption multiples of $1,000, after August 18, 2026, subject to any required regulatory approvals. Proceeds were used to repay $10.0 million in existing 5.65% interest subordinated debt on August 9, 2021 and $11.5 million was contributed to the Bank as capital during the quarter ended September 30, 2021.
In November 2022, the Company issued subordinated notes in the aggregate amount of $20.0 million. The notes mature on November 1, 2032, and bear interest at the rate of 7.00% per year for five years and, thereafter, reprices quarterly beginning November 1, 2027, at a rate equal to the three-month SOFR plus 2.9%. The five-year 7.00% interest period ends on November 1, 2027. We may redeem the subordinated notes, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, in principal redemption multiples of $1,000, after November 1, 2027, subject to any required regulatory approvals.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity Management
Liquidity refers to our capacity to meet our cash obligations at a reasonable cost. Our cash obligations require us to have cash flow that is adequate to fund loan growth and maintain on-balance sheet liquidity while meeting present and future obligations of deposit withdrawals, borrowing maturities and other contractual cash obligations. In managing our cash flows, management regularly confronts situations that can give rise to increased liquidity risk. These include funding mismatches, market constraints in accessing sources of funds and the ability to convert assets into cash. Changes in economic conditions or exposure to credit, market, and operational, legal and reputational risks also could affect the Bank’s liquidity risk profile and are considered in the assessment of liquidity management. Deposits obtained through our CCBX segment are a significant source of liquidity for us. If a relationship with a large CCBX partner terminates, the exit of those deposits could have an adverse impact on liquidity. Partner program agreements govern the relationship and are valid for a given period of time. Prior to exiting, the partner would need to provide us adequate notice as stipulated in the agreement that they were not going to renew the program agreement and intend to move the deposits. The movement to an alternate BaaS provider is cumbersome and would be over a period of time, which would allow us the opportunity to put alternate liquidity in place; those options are more fully discussed below. As of June 30, 2023, we have 1 partner with deposits that are in excess of 10% of total deposits and represent 27% of total deposits.
We continually monitor our liquidity position to ensure that our assets and liabilities are managed in a manner to meet all reasonably foreseeable short-term, long-term and strategic liquidity demands. Management has established a comprehensive process for identifying, measuring, monitoring and controlling liquidity risk. Because of its critical importance to the viability of the Bank, liquidity risk management is fully integrated into our risk management processes. Critical elements of our liquidity risk management include: effective corporate governance consisting of oversight by the board of directors and active involvement by management; appropriate strategies, policies, procedures, and limits used to manage and mitigate liquidity risk; comprehensive liquidity risk measurement and monitoring systems that are commensurate with the complexity of our business activities; active management of intraday liquidity and collateral; an appropriately diverse mix of existing and potential future funding sources; adequate levels of readily available cash, deposits and highly liquid marketable securities free of legal, regulatory, or operational impediments, that can be used to meet liquidity needs in stressful situations; contingency funding policies and plans that sufficiently address potential adverse liquidity events and emergency cash flow requirements; and internal controls and internal audit processes sufficient to determine the adequacy of the Bank’s liquidity risk management process. Unlike many industrial companies, substantially all of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on our performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates may not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. However, other operating expenses do reflect general levels of inflation.
Our liquidity position is supported by management of our liquid assets and liabilities and access to alternative sources of funds. Our liquidity requirements are met primarily through our deposits, FHLB advances and the principal and interest payments we receive on loans and investment securities. Cash on hand, cash at third-party banks, investments available-for-sale and maturing or prepaying balances in our investment and loan portfolios are our most liquid assets. Other sources of liquidity that are routinely available to us include funds from retail, commercial, and BaaS deposits, advances from the FHLB and proceeds from the sale of loans. Less commonly used sources of funding include borrowings from the Federal Reserve discount window, draws on established federal funds lines from unaffiliated commercial banks, funds from online
rate services, brokered deposits, a one-way buy through an ICS account, and the issuance of debt or equity securities. Additionally, the Bank, as of June 30, 2023, has access to $9.9 million in CCBX customer deposits that are currently being transferred from the Bank’s balance sheet to other financial institutions on a daily basis. The Bank could retain these deposits for liquidity and funding purposes if needed. We believe we have ample liquidity resources to fund future growth and meet other cash needs as necessary and are closely monitoring liquidity in this uncertain economic environment.
The Company is a corporation separate and apart from our Bank and, therefore, must provide for its own liquidity, including liquidity required to meet its debt service requirements on its subordinated note and junior subordinated debentures. The Company’s main source of cash flow has been through equity and debt offerings. The Company has consistently retained a portion of the funds from equity and debt offerings so that is has sufficient funds for its operating and debt costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company contributed $15.0 million to the Bank. The Company currently holds $6.8 million in cash for debt servicing and operating purposes. In addition, the Bank can declare and pay dividends to the Company to meet the Company’s debt and operating expenses. There are statutory and regulatory limitations that affect the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company. We believe that these limitations will not impact the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company to meet ongoing operating needs.
For contingency purposes, the Company maintains a minimum level of cash to fund one year’s projected operating cash flow needs and targets a liquidity ratio of 10%. Both of these minimum liquidity levels are on-balance sheet sources. Per policy and the Bank’s liquidity contingency plan, in event of a liquidity emergency the Bank can utilize wholesale funds in an amount up to 30% of assets. Since the Bank uses only a small portion of its borrowing or wholesale funding capacity, the Bank has access to borrow funds if needed in a liquidity emergency.
Capital Adequacy
Capital management consists of providing equity and other instruments that qualify as regulatory capital to support current and future operations. Banking regulators view capital levels as important indicators of an institution’s financial soundness. As a general matter, FDIC-insured depository institutions and their holding companies are required to maintain minimum capital levels relative to the amount and types of assets they hold. We are subject to regulatory capital requirements at the bank level. Because the Company’s consolidated assets exceeded $3.0 billion as of September 30, 2022, the Company is no longer eligible for the Federal Reserve’s Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement and will be evaluated relative to the capital adequacy standards established by the Federal Reserve. Additionally, as of June 30, 2023, the Company’s consolidated assets are in excess of $3.0 billion, and as a consequence, beginning in March 2024, the Company will no longer prepare and file financial reports with the Federal Reserve as a small bank holding company.
As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company and the Bank were in compliance with all applicable regulatory capital requirements, and the Bank was classified as “well capitalized” for purposes of the Federal Reserve’s prompt corrective action regulations. As we deploy capital and continue to grow operations, regulatory capital levels may decrease depending on our level of earnings. However, we expect to monitor and control growth in order to remain in compliance with all regulatory capital standards applicable to us. In addition, the Company maintains an effective registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission that would allow the Company to raise additional capital in an amount up to $115.5 million. The Company raised $34.5 million in December 2021. The Company, through a private placement, raised $25.0 million in subordinated debt in 2021 and repaid $10.0 million of subordinated debt with the proceeds and used the remainder for general corporate purposes. On November 1, 2022 the Company, through a private placement, raised $20.0 million of subordinated debt with the proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes. The Company contributed $15.0 million of the capital raised to the Bank in March 2023.
The following table presents the Company’s and the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios as of the dates presented, as well as the regulatory capital ratios that are required by Federal Reserve regulations to maintain “well-capitalized” status:

Represents the undefined maturity of non-maturing deposits, including noninterest bearing demand deposits, interest bearing demand deposits, money market accounts, savings accounts and brokered deposits, which can generally be withdrawn on demand.
We maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents and investment securities to meet short-term cash requirements and the levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, investing and financing activities during any given period. Cash on hand, cash at third-party banks, investments available-for-sale and maturing or prepaying balances in our investment and loan portfolios are our most liquid assets. Other sources of liquidity that are routinely available to us include funds from retail, commercial, and BaaS deposits, advances from the FHLB and proceeds from the sale of loans. Less commonly used sources of funding include borrowings from the Federal Reserve discount window, draws on established federal funds lines from unaffiliated commercial banks, funds from online rate services, brokered funds, a one-way buy through an ICS account, and the issuance of debt or equity securities.
In the normal course of business, we enter into various transactions, which, in accordance with GAAP, are not included in our consolidated balance sheets. We enter into these transactions to meet the financing needs of our customers. These transactions include commitments to extend credit and standby and commercial letters of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in our consolidated balance sheets.
Our commitments associated with outstanding commitments to extend credit and standby and commercial letters of credit are summarized in the following table. Since commitments associated with commitments to extend credit and letters of credit may expire unused, the amounts shown do not necessarily reflect the actual future cash funding requirements.
As of June 30, 2023 we had $2.34 billion in commitments to extend credit, compared to $2.20 billion as of December 31, 2022. The $144.0 million increase is largely attributed to an increase of $197.8 million in consumer and other loan commitments, related to CCBX consumer loans, $150.4 million decrease in commercial and industrial capital call line commitments, $22.1 million increase in commercial construction loans and $85.3 million increase in residential real estate commitments, related to CCBX loans.

We have portfolio limits with our each of our partners to manage loan concentration risk, liquidity risk, and counter-party partner risk. For example, as of June 30, 2023, capital call lines outstanding balance totaled $138.4 million, and while commitments totaled $622.3 million the commitments are cancelable, and are also limited to a maximum of $350.0 million by agreement with the partner.
The following table shows the CCBX maximum portfolio sizes by loan category as of June 30, 2023.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being fully drawn upon, the total commitment amounts disclosed above do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if considered necessary by us, upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. As of June 30, 2023, $1.61 billion in commitments to extend credit are unconditionally cancelable, compared to $1.57 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase in unconditionally cancelable commitments is attributed to growth in CCBX loans. Commitments that are unconditionally cancelable allow us to better manage loan growth, credit concentrations and liquidity. We also limit CCBX partners to a maximum aggregate customer loan balance originated and held on our balance sheet, as shown in the table above.
Standby and commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. In the event of nonperformance by the customer, we have rights to the underlying collateral, which can include commercial real estate, physical plant and property, inventory, receivables, cash and/or marketable securities. Our credit risk associated with issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as the risk involved in extending loan facilities to our customers.
We believe that we will be able to meet our long-term cash requirements as they come due. Adequate cash levels are generated through profitability, repayments from loans and securities, deposit gathering activity, access to borrowing sources and periodic loan sales.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our accounting policies are integral to understanding our results of operations.

CCBX – BaaS Reporting Information
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, $51.0 million and $93.4 million, respectively was recognized in noninterest income BaaS credit enhancements related to the establishment of a credit enhancement asset for future credit losses indemnified by our strategic partners and reserve for unfunded commitments for CCBX partner loans and deposits. Agreements with our CCBX partners provide for a credit enhancement provided by the partner which protects the Bank by indemnifying or reimbursing incurred losses on accounts originated through the partner. In accordance with accounting guidance, we estimate and record a provision for expected losses on these CCBX loans and deposit overdrafts. When the provision for credit losses - loans and provision for unfunded commitments is recorded, a credit enhancement asset is also recorded on the balance sheet through the recognition of noninterest income (BaaS credit enhancements) in recognition of the CCBX partner’s indemnification obligation and legal commitment to indemnify or reimburse losses. Incurred credit losses are recorded in the allowance for credit losses, and as the credit enhancement payments are received from the CCBX
partner or taken from the partner's cash reserve account, the credit enhancement asset is relieved. Agreements with our CCBX partners also provide protection to the Bank from fraud by requiring the CCBX partners to indemnify or reimburse the Bank for incurred fraud losses. Fraud losses are recorded when incurred as losses in noninterest expense, and the recovery received from the CCBX partner is recorded in noninterest income, resulting in a net impact of zero to the income statement. CCBX partners also pledge cash reserves in a restricted deposit account at the Bank which the Bank can collect from when losses occur that is then replenished by the partner on a regular interval. Although agreements with our CCBX partners provide for enhancements that provide protection to the Bank from credit and fraud losses by indemnifying or reimbursing incurred credit and fraud losses, if our partner is unable to fulfill its contracted obligations beyond its cash reserve account then the Bank would be exposed to additional loan and deposit losses, as a result of this counterparty risk. If a CCBX partner does not adequately replenish their cash reserve account then the Bank can declare the agreement in default, take over servicing and cease paying the partner for servicing the loan and providing credit enhancements. The Bank would write-off any remaining credit and fraud enhancement asset from the CCBX partner but would retain the full yield and loan income on the loan going forward, and BaaS loan expense would decrease once default occurred and payments to the CCBX partner were stopped.
For CCBX partner loans the Bank records contractual interest earned from the borrower on loans in interest income, adjusted for origination costs which are paid or payable to the CCBX partner. BaaS loan expense represents the amount paid or payable to partners for credit enhancements, fraud enhancements and
originating &
servicing CCBX loans. To determine net BaaS loan income earned from CCBX loan relationships, the Bank takes BaaS loan interest income and deducts BaaS loan expense to arrive at net BaaS loan income which can then be compared to interest income on the Company’s community bank loans.
The following table illustrates how CCBX partner loan income and expenses are recorded in the financial statements:

Annualized calculations shown for periods presented.
The increased activity of CCBX partners has resulted in increases in direct fees, expenses and interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The following tables are a summary of the direct fees, expenses and interest components of BaaS for the periods indicated and are not inclusive of all income and expense related to BaaS.
GAAP Reconciliation and Management Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operational performance and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of such financial performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures. As other companies may use different calculations for these adjusted measures, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled adjusted measures reported by other companies.
The following non-GAAP measure is presented to illustrate the impact of BaaS loan expense on net loan income and yield on CCBX loans.
Net BaaS loan income divided by average CCBX loans is a non-GAAP measure that includes the impact BaaS loan expense on net BaaS loan income and the yield on CCBX loans. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is yield on CCBX loans.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As a financial institution, our primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Our asset liability and funds management policy provides management with the guidelines for effective funds management, and we have established a measurement system for monitoring our net interest rate sensitivity position. We have historically managed our sensitivity position within our established guidelines.
Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on most of our assets and liabilities, and the market value of all interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, other than those which have a short term to maturity. Interest rate risk is the potential for economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a decrease in current fair market values. Our objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust the balance sheet to minimize the inherent risk while at the same time maximizing income. The FOMC raised interest rates 0.25% in mid-March 2022, 1.25% in the second quarter of 2022, 1.50% in the third quarter of 2022, 1.25% in the fourth quarter of 2022, 0.50% in the first quarter 2023, and 0.25% in the second quarter 2023 and 0.25% so far in the third quarter of 2023, with a potential for further increases expected in the future. The impact of this and any future increases will impact financial results.
We manage our exposure to interest rates by structuring our balance sheet in the ordinary course of business. We do not enter into instruments such as leveraged derivatives, financial options, financial future contracts or forward delivery contracts for the purpose of reducing interest rate risk. Based upon the nature of our operations, we are not subject to foreign exchange or commodity price risk. We do not own any trading assets.
Our exposure to interest rate risk is managed by the Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”), of the Bank and reviewed by the Asset Liability and Investment Committee of our board of directors in accordance with policies approved by our board of directors. ALCO formulates strategies based on appropriate levels of interest rate risk. In determining the appropriate level of interest rate risk, ALCO considers the impact on earnings and capital on the current outlook on interest rates, potential changes in interest rates, regional economies, liquidity, business strategies and other factors. ALCO meets regularly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, the book and market values of assets and liabilities, unrealized gains and losses, purchase and sale activities, commitments to originate loans and the maturities of investments and borrowings. Additionally, ALCO reviews liquidity, cash flows, maturities of deposits and consumer and commercial deposit activity. Management employs various methodologies to manage interest rate risk including an analysis of relationships between interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and interest rate simulations using a model. The Asset Liability and Investment Committee of our board of directors meets regularly to review the Bank’s interest rate risk profile, liquidity position, including contingent liquidity, and investment portfolio.
We use interest rate risk simulation models to test interest rate sensitivity of net interest income and fair value of equity, and the impact of changes in interest rates on other financial metrics. Contractual maturities and
re-pricing opportunities of loans are incorporated in the model, as are prepayment assumptions, maturity data and call options within the investment portfolio. Average life of non-maturity deposit accounts are based on historical decay rates and assumptions and are incorporated into the model. The assumptions used are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely measure future net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from the model’s simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and the application and timing of various management strategies. To help ensure the accuracy of the model, we perform a quarterly back test against our actual results.
On a quarterly basis, we run multiple simulations under two different premises of which one is a static balance sheet and the other is a dynamic growth balance sheet. The static balance sheet approach produces results that show the interest risk currently inherent in our balance sheet at that point in time. The dynamic balance sheet includes our projected growth levels going forward and produces results that shows how net income, net interest income, and interest risk change based on our projected growth. These simulations test the impact on net interest income and fair value of equity from changes in market interest rates under various scenarios. Under the static and dynamic approaches, rates are shocked instantaneously and ramped over a 12-month horizon assuming parallel yield curve shifts. Parallel shock scenarios assume instantaneous parallel movements in the yield curve compared to a flat yield curve scenario. Non-parallel simulations are also conducted and involve analysis of interest income and expense under various changes in the shape of the yield curve including a forward curve, flat curve, steepening curve, and an inverted curve. Our internal policy regarding internal rate risk simulations currently specifies that for instantaneous parallel shifts of the yield curve, estimated net income at risk for the
subsequent one- and two-year period should not decline by more than 10% for a 100 basis point shift, 15% for a 200 basis point shift, 20% for a 300 basis point shift, and 25% for a 400 basis point shift.
The following tables summarize the simulated change in net interest income over a 12-month horizon as of the dates indicated:

The results illustrate that the Company is asset sensitive and generally performs better in an increasing interest rate environment. As the Company’s composition has shifted overtime due to the growth of the CCBX segment to more variable/adjustable in nature, our interest rate risk profile has migrated, slightly reducing our exposure to interest rate risk from declining rates. For the community bank, the drivers are primarily due to behavior of demand, money market and savings deposits during such rate fluctuations. We have found that, historically, offering rates on our community bank deposits change more slowly than changes in short-term market rates. For the CCBX segment, the offering rates on the loan portfolio are modeled using partner contractual net yields which adjust with market shifts. For this CCBX portfolio, the offering rates on both the loans and the deposits nearly fully reprice with changes in market rates. The assumptions incorporated into the simulation model are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely measure future net interest income or precisely predict the impact that fluctuations in market interest rates have on net interest income. Actual results will differ from the model’s simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions, the shape of the interest yield curve, and the application and timing of various assumptions and strategies.
