CalWest Bancorp Announces Financial Results as of March 31, 2019

Total Assets increased 7% YTD; increased 13% Year-over-Year

Deposits increased 10% YTD; increased 12% Year-over-Year

Loans decreased 3.6% YTD; increased 20% Year-over-Year

Net Income of $306k YTD

CalWest Bancorp CALW, the holding company for CalWest Bank, today announced the consolidated financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2019.

Significant items for the period include:

  • Net Interest Income improved 24% year-over-year
  • Non-Interest Expenses increased 25% year-over-year reflecting increased staffing and locations
  • Net Income for Q1/2019 was $128k less than Q1/2018
  • The year-over-year increase in deposits centered in DDA and MMA, with purposeful reductions in CDs and Wholesale deposits
  • Nonperforming Loans of only $1k and ALLL-to-Gross Loans of 1.60%

"Low loan demand combined with unusually high loan pay-offs caused net loan growth to decrease slightly during Q1/2019. Non-Interest Income was lower compared to the same period last year, as last year included a $113k non-reoccurring gain. The year-over-year increase in Non-Interest Expenses reflects the strategic decisions to expand our staff and improve our branch locations, which we expect to drive loan and deposit growth going forward," noted Glenn Gray, President and CEO of CalWest Bancorp and CalWest Bank.

"With increased emphasis on deposit growth, we have been able to increase deposits year-over-year and sequentially. Despite encouraging $5MM run-off of wholesale deposits, total deposits have increased $17MM YTD, and we have been able to maintain our cost-of-deposits to 70 basis points."

CalWest Bancorp is the parent company of CalWest Bank, a community bank recognized for its exemplary service to entrepreneurs and high net worth individuals located throughout Southern California. The Bank serves the business community through its four branches located in Rancho Santa Margarita, Irvine, Huntington Beach and Redlands, and a loan production office in Laguna Niguel.
