Quarterly net income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $13.1 million, or $0.96 per diluted common share, compared with net income of $11.1 million, or $0.82 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2022, and $7.3 million, or $0.57 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. 

Total assets increased $10.7 million, or 0.3%, during the fourth quarter of 2022 to $3.14 billion, from $3.13 billion at September 30, 2022. Loan growth of $119.4 million, or 4.8%, during the three months ended December 31, 2022 to $2.63 billion, compared to $2.51 billion at September 30, 2022 . Loan growth included CCBX loan growth of $96.9 million, or 10.6%, and an increase of $22.4 million, or 1.4% in community bank loans, which is net of $1.1 million in PPP loan forgiveness/repayments. Deposits decreased $19.5 million, or 0.7%, during the three months ended December 31, 2022 and included CCBX deposit growth of $77.0 million, or 6.4%, and a decrease in community bank deposits of $96.6 million, or 5.9%.

“Loans increased $119.4 million, or 4.8%, in the three months ended December 31, 2022, with $96.9 million of that growth in our CCBX segment, which provides Banking as a Service (“BaaS”). Our CCBX segment has grown to $1.0 billion in loans receivable, or 38.5% of total loans receivable, and our community bank loans have grown to $1.6 billion in loans receivable, as of December 31, 2022. Additionally, we sold excess loans back to our partners to help partners manage credit and interest rate risk. During the quarter ended December 31, 2022 we allowed some community bank deposits to run off in order to manage our our deposit costs, resulting in deposits decreasing $19.5 million, or 0.7%, during the three months ended December 31, 2022. Community bank cost of deposits was 0.37% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. For the quarter ended December 31, 2022 we had net income of $13.1 million, an increase of $2.0 million, or 18.2%, over the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Results of Operations Overview

The Company has one main subsidiary, the Bank which consists of two segments: CCBX and the community bank. The CCBX segment includes our BaaS activities and the community bank segment includes all other banking activities. Net interest income was $53.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $4.2 million, or 8.6%, from $49.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, and an increase of $28.7 million, or 116.3%, from $24.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. Yield on loans receivable was 9.33% for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to 8.46% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 5.92% for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The increase in net interest income compared to September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, was largely related to increased yield on loans resulting from higher interest rates and growth in higher yielding loans, primarily from CCBX. Total average loans receivable for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was $2.60 billion, compared to $2.45 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and $1.68 billion for the three months ended December 31, 2021.

Interest and fees on loans totaled $61.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to $52.3 million and $25.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Loan growth of $119.4 million, or 4.8%, during the quarter ended December 31, 2022 included $96.9 million increase in CCBX loans; this includes capital call lines, which decreased $28.3 million, or 16.2%, during the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2022. Capital call lines bear a lower rate of interest, but have less credit risk due to the way the loans are structured compared to other commercial loans. The increase in interest and fees on loans for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, was largely due to growth in higher yielding loans and increased interest rates. As a result of the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) raising the target Federal Funds rate 4.25% in 2022, interest rates on our existing variable rate loans are affected, as are the rates on new loans. We continue to monitor the impact of these increases in interest rates. The FOMC last raised the target Federal Funds rate 0.50% on December 14, 2022.

Interest income from interest earning deposits with other banks was $3.1 million at December 31, 2022, an increase of $824,000 compared to September 30, 2022, and an increase of $2.8 million compared to December 31, 2021 due to an increase in interest rates. The average balance of interest earning deposits with other banks for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was $329.4 million, compared to $397.6 million and $751.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Interest earning deposits with other banks decreased as a result of increased loan demand and decreased deposits compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. Interest earning deposits with other banks decreased as a result of increased loan demand compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021. Additionally, the average yield on these interest earning deposits with other banks increased to 3.73% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to 2.27% and 0.16% for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Interest expense was $11.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, a $5.3 million increase from the quarter ended September 30, 2022 and a $10.8 million increase from the quarter ended December 31, 2021. Interest expense on borrowed funds was $537,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to $273,000 and $327,000 for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Interest expense on borrowed funds increased $264,000 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, as a result of an increase of $20.0 million in subordinated debt, which closed on November 1, 2022, combined with the increase in interest rates. The $210,000 increase in interest expense on borrowed funds from the quarter ended December 31, 2021 is the result of an increase in interest rates partially offset by a decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, which were paid off in the first quarter of 2022. Interest expense on interest bearing deposits increased $5.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2022, and $10.5 million compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2021 as a result 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. Additionally, as a result of the interest rate increases, a significant portion of CCBX deposits that were not earning interest were reclassified to interest bearing deposits from noninterest bearing deposits during the first and second quarters of 2022, which also contributed to the increase in interest expense compared to December 31, 2021. These CCBX deposits were reclassified because the current interest rate exceeded the minimum interest rate set in their respective program agreements, as a result of the first and second quarter 2022 interest rate increases. We do not expect additional CCBX deposits will be reclassified as a result of future rate increases.

Total cost of deposits was 1.56% for the three months ended December 31, 2022, 0.82% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 0.09%, for the three months ended December 31, 2021. Community bank and CCBX cost of deposits were 0.37% and 3.13% respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to 0.16% and 1.79%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 0.12% and 0.02% for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The increase in cost of deposits for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the prior periods for both segments is a result of increased interest rates. Also impacting CCBX cost of deposits was the reclassification of deposits from noninterest bearing to interest bearing in the first two quarters of 2022. Any additional interest rate increases will increase our cost of deposits and result in higher interest expense on interest bearing deposits.

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin was 6.96% for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to 6.58% and 3.95% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The increase in net interest margin compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, was largely a result of increased volume and an increase in higher interest rates on new loans and on existing variable rate loans as they reprice. Loans receivable increased $119.4 million and $884.5 million, compared to September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Additionally, the Fed Funds interest rate increases have resulted in existing, variable rate loans repricing to higher interest rates. Interest on loans receivable increased $8.9 million, or 17.0%, to $61.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $52.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and $25.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. Also contributing to the increase in net interest margin compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, was $824,000 and $2.8 million increase in interest on interest earning deposits, respectively. These interest earning deposits earned an average rate of 3.73% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to 2.27% and 0.16% for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Average investment securities decreased $2.2 million to $101.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, and increased $64.5 million compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021. Interest on investment securities increased $3,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. Investment securities increased $554,000 compared to December 31, 2021, as a result of the increase in average outstanding balance coupled with increased yield, which also positively impacted net interest margin. These increases in interest income were partially offset by increases in interest expense on interest bearing deposits, as previously discussed.

Cost of funds was 1.61% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 76 basis points from the quarter ended September 30, 2022 and an increase of 147 basis points from the quarter ended December 31, 2021. Cost of deposits for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 was 1.56%, compared to 0.82% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, and 0.09% for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. The increased cost of funds and deposits compared to September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was largely due to the increase in interest rates compared to the previous periods and growth in deposits compared to December 31, 2021.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2022, total loans receivable increased by $119.4 million, or 4.8%, to $2.63 billion, compared to $2.51 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The increase consists of $96.9 million in CCBX loan growth and $22.4 million in community bank loan growth. Community bank loan growth is net of $1.1 million in PPP loan forgiveness/repayments. Total loans receivable grew $884.5 million as of December 31, 2022, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2021. This increase includes CCBX loan growth of $665.8 million and community bank loan growth of $218.7 million. Community bank loan growth is net of $107.1 million in PPP loan forgiveness/repayments as of December 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021. During the quarter ended December 31, 2022, $24.4 million in CCBX loans were transferred into loans held for sale, with $67.7 million in loans sold during the quarter and no loans remaining in loans held for sale as of December 31, 2022; compared to $43.3 million held for sale as of September 30, 2022. 

Total yield on loans receivable for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 was 9.33%, compared 8.46% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, and 5.92% for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. This increase in yield on loans receivable is a combination of an overall increase in interest rates, repricing of variable rate loans as well as additional volume in higher rate consumer loans from CCBX partners. During the quarter ended December 31, 2022, CCBX loans outstanding increased 10.6%, or $96.9 million, compared to September 30, 2022, with an average CCBX yield of 15.20% and community bank loans increased 1.4%, or $22.4 million, September 30, 2022, with an average yield of 5.70%. The yield on CCBX 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 servicing CCBX loans. Net BaaS loan income(*) divided by average CCBX loans outstanding was 8.33% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 and was impacted by the $28.3 million decline in capital call lines during the quarter that are priced at prime minus 0.50%.

The following table summarizes the average yield on loans receivable and cost of deposits for each segment for the periods indicated:

(1)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 and fraud enhancements and 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.


The following tables illustrates how BaaS loan interest income is affected by BaaS loan interest expense resulting in net BaaS loan income and the associated yield:

Noninterest income was $42.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $8.4 million from $34.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and an increase of $28.6 million from $14.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The increase in noninterest income over the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to an increase of $8.3 million in BaaS income. The $8.3 million increase in BaaS income included a $13.2 million increase in BaaS credit enhancements related to the allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded commitments, a $4.9 million decrease in BaaS fraud enhancements, and a decrease of $35,000 in BaaS program income (see “Appendix B” for more information on the accounting for BaaS allowance for loan losses, reserve for unfunded commitments and credit and fraud enhancements). The $28.6 million increase in noninterest income over the quarter ended December 31, 2021 was primarily due to a $28.9 million increase in BaaS income. The $28.9 million increase in BaaS income included a $22.1 million increase in BaaS credit enhancements, a $5.6 million increase in BaaS fraud enhancements and a $1.2 million increase in other BaaS program income.

Our CCBX segment continues to evolve, and we now have 27 relationships, at varying stages, as of December 31, 2022. We continue to refine the criteria for CCBX partnerships and are exiting relationships where it makes sense for both parties 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. During the quarter ended December 31, 2022, a couple partners wound down their CCBX programs; these programs were not material in terms of income and sources of funds or loans.

BaaS fraud expense  6,819  11,707  1,209
BaaS loan and fraud expense  24,034  27,267  3,577
Total noninterest expense $47,103 $51,087 $21,050

Total noninterest expense decreased to $47.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $51.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and increased from $21.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The decrease in noninterest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2022, was primarily due to a $3.2 million decrease in BaaS expense (of which $4.9 million is related to a decrease in partner fraud expense partially offset by an increase of $1.7 million in partner loan expense). Partner loan expense represents the amount paid or payable to partners for credit enhancements, fraud enhancements, and servicing CCBX loans. Partner fraud expense represents non-credit fraud losses on partner’s customer loan and deposit accounts, a portion of this expense is realized during the quarter, and a portion is estimated based on historical or other information from our partners. Also contributing to the decrease in noninterest expense compared to September 30, 2022 is a $1.2 million decrease in other expenses, which is related to reduction in the unfunded commitment reserve of $1.1 million.

The increase in noninterest expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2021 were largely due to an increase of $20.5 million in BaaS partner expense ($14.8 million of which is related to partner loan expense and $5.6 million of which is related to partner fraud expense), $3.9 million increase in salary and employee benefits related to hiring staff for CCBX and additional staff for our ongoing growth initiatives and $1.8 million increase in legal and professional fees due to increased fees related to data and risk management, and increased consulting expenses for projects and enhanced monitoring. Additionally, there was a $515,000 increase in point of sale expenses which is attributed to increased CCBX activity. Partially offsetting the increase in noninterest expense compared to December 31, 2021 is a $1.2 million decrease in other expenses, which is related to reduction in the unfunded commitment reserve of $1.5 million.

The provision for income taxes was $2.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and $1.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. 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. The effective tax rate was lower for the three months ended December 31, 2022 due to an update in the state apportionment of the revenues in the states in which we operate combined with tax benefits that resulted from the exercise of stock awards. The Company uses a federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% as a basis for calculating provision for federal income taxes and 2.62% for calculating the provision for state taxes.

Financial Condition Overview

Total assets increased $10.7 million, or 0.3%, to $3.14 billion at December 31, 2022 compared to $3.13 billion at September 30, 2022. The increase is primarily due to loans receivable increasing $119.4 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2022. Partially offsetting the increase in loans for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 was a $63.8 million decrease in interest earning deposits with other banks, resulting from increased loan demand and decreased customer deposits. Additionally, there were no loans held for sale at December 31, 2022, a decrease of $43.3 million, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Total assets increased $509.0 million, or 19.3%, at December 31, 2022, compared to $2.64 billion at December 31, 2021. The increase is primarily due to loans receivable increasing $884.5 million, and an increase of $61.7 million in investment securities. Partially offsetting the increase is a $489.2 million decrease in interest earning deposits with other banks, resulting from increased loan demand and funds being shifted from interest earning deposits with other banks to loans, compared to December 31, 2021.

Loans Receivable

Total loans receivable increased $119.4 million to $2.63 billion at December 31, 2022, from $2.51 billion at September 30, 2022, and increased $884.5 million from $1.74 billion at December 31, 2021. The increase in loans receivable over the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was the result of $96.9 million in CCBX loan growth and $22.4 million in community bank loan growth. Community bank loan growth is net of $1.1 million in PPP loan forgiveness/repayments compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The change in loans receivable over the quarter ended December 31, 2021 includes CCBX loan growth of $665.8 million and $218.7 million in community bank loan growth as of December 31, 2022. Community bank loan growth is net of $107.1 million in PPP loan forgiveness and paydowns since December 31, 2021.

Deposits

Total deposits decreased $19.5 million, or 0.7%, to $2.82 billion at December 31, 2022 from $2.84 billion at September 30, 2022. The decrease was due to a $41.3 million decrease in core deposits, combined with a $4.4 million decrease in time deposits, partially offset by a $26.2 million increase in BaaS-brokered deposits. We believe our decrease in deposits is primarily the result of significantly higher deposit rates being offered by competitors and depositors investing in the market. Deposits in our CCBX segment increased $77.0 million, from $1.20 billion at September 30, 2022, to $1.28 billion at December 31, 2022 and community bank deposits decreased $96.6 million to $1.54 billion at December 31, 2022. The deposits from our CCBX segment are predominately classified as interest bearing, or NOW and money market accounts, but a portion of such CCBX deposits may be classified as brokered deposits as a result of the relationship agreement. During the quarter ended December 31, 2022, noninterest bearing deposits decreased $38.2 million, or 4.7%, to $775.0 million from $813.2 million at September 30, 2022. In the quarter ended December 31, 2022 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2022, NOW and money market accounts decreased $2.7 million, savings deposits decreased $391,000, and time deposits decreased $4.4 million. Partially offsetting those decreases is an increase of $26.2 million in BaaS-brokered deposits.

Total deposits increased $453.7 million, or 19.2%, to $2.82 billion at December 31, 2022 compared to $2.36 billion at December 31, 2021. The increase is largely the result of growth in CCBX deposits. Noninterest bearing deposits decreased $580.9 million, or 42.8%, to $775.0 million at December 31, 2022 from $1.4 billion at December 31, 2021. NOW and money market accounts increased $1.01 billion, or 128.5%, to $1.80 billion at December 31, 2022, and savings accounts increased $3.2 million, or 3.0%, and BaaS-brokered deposits increased $30.8 million, or 43.5% while time deposits decreased $14.0 million, or 32.2%, in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. Additionally, as of December 31, 2022 we have access to $225.0 million in CCBX customer deposits that are currently being transferred off 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 brokered deposits, however if the entire available balance is retained, they would be non-brokered deposits. Efforts to retain and grow core deposits are evidenced by the high ratios in these categories when compared to total deposits.

Borrowings

On November 1, 2022, the Company completed its private placement of $20.0 million in fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due November 1, 2032 (the “Notes”). The Notes bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 7.00% for the first five years and will reset quarterly thereafter to the then-current three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 290 basis points. The Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, on any interest payment date on or after November 1, 2027, or at any time, in whole but not in part, upon certain other specified events prior to the Notes’ maturity on November 1, 2032.

Shareholders’ Equity

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the Company contributed $21.0 million in capital to the Bank. The Company has a cash balance of $22.9 million as of December 31, 2022, which is retained for general operating purposes, including debt repayment, and for funding $988,000 in commitments to bank technology funds.

Total shareholders’ equity increased $14.8 million since September 30, 2022. The increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily due to $13.1 million in net earnings and $1.2 million increase from stock options being exercised for the three months ended December 31, 2022.

The total allowance for loan losses was $74.0 million and 2.82% of loans receivable at December 31, 2022 compared to $59.3 million and 2.36% at September 30, 2022 and $28.6 million and 1.64% at December 31, 2021. The allowance for loan loss allocated to the CCBX portfolio was $53.4 million and 5.27% of CCBX loans receivable at December 31, 2022, with $20.6 million of allowance for loan loss allocated to the community bank or 1.28% of total community bank loans receivable.

The following table details the allocation of the allowance for loan loss as of the period indicated:

Provision for loan losses totaled $33.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, $18.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and $8.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. Net charge-offs totaled $18.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to $8.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 and $532,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. Net charge-offs increased due to CCBX partner loans and the reclassification and charge-off of negative deposit accounts. CCBX partner agreements provide for a credit enhancement that covers the 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 $114.5 million loan portfolio. At December 31, 2022, 10% of this portfolio represented $11.5 million in loans.

The increase in the Company’s provision for loan losses during the quarter ended December 31, 2022, is largely related to the provision for loan growth in CCBX partner loans. During the quarter ended December 31, 2022, a $33.1 million provision for loan losses was recorded for CCBX partner loans based on management’s analysis, compared to the $18.7 million provision for loan losses that was recorded for CCBX for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. CCBX loans have a higher level of expected losses than our community bank loans, which is reflected in the factors for the allowance for loan losses. Agreements with our CCBX partners provide for a credit enhancement which protects the Bank by absorbing incurred losses. In accordance with accounting guidance, we estimate and record a provision for probable losses for these CCBX loans and reclassified negative deposit accounts. When the provision for CCBX loan losses and provision for unfunded commitments is recorded, a receivable is also recorded on the balance sheet through noninterest income (BaaS credit enhancements). Incurred losses are recorded in the allowance for loan losses. The receivable is relieved when credit enhancement recoveries are received from the CCBX partner. Although agreements with our CCBX partners provide for credit enhancements that provide protection to the Bank from credit and fraud losses by absorbing incurred credit and fraud losses, if our partner is unable to fulfill their contracted obligations then the bank would be exposed to additional loan losses, as a result of this counterparty risk. The factors used in management’s analysis for community bank loan losses indicated that a provision of $504,000 and recapture/adjustment for loan losses of $238,000 was needed for the quarters ended December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively. In accordance with the program agreement and for this CCBX partner only, the Company is responsible for credit losses on approximately 10% of a $114.5 million loan portfolio. At December 31, 2022, 10% of this portfolio represented $11.5 million in loans. The partner is responsible for credit losses on approximately 90% of this portfolio and for fraud losses on 100% of this portfolio. The Company earns 100% of the revenue on the aforementioned $11.5 million of loans. The economic environment is continuously changing, due to increased inflation, global unrest, the war in Ukraine, political environment, trade issues that may impact the provision and therefore the allowance. The Company is not required to implement the provisions of the Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") accounting standard until January 1, 2023 and continues to account for the allowance for credit losses under the incurred loss model. The Company is on track with its migration and adoption plan for CECL.

The following table details the provision expense for the community bank and CCBX for the period indicated:

Total provision expense $33,600 $18,428  $8,942 $79,064 $9,915

At December 31, 2022, our nonperforming assets were $33.2 million, or 1.06% of total assets, compared to $22.9 million, or 0.73%, of total assets, at September 30, 2022, and $1.7 million, or 0.07% of total assets, at December 31, 2021. These ratios are impacted by the increase in CCBX loans over 90 days delinquent that are covered by CCBX partner credit enhancements. Agreements with our CCBX partners provide for a credit enhancement which protects the Bank by absorbing incurred losses. Under the agreement, the CCBX partner will reimburse the Bank for its loss/charge-off on these loans. Nonperforming assets increased $10.3 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2022, due to the addition of $10.3 million in CCBX loans that are past due 90 days or more and still accruing combined with $19,000 more in community bank nonaccrual loans. 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. 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 are reported as substandard, 90 days or more days past due and still accruing. Community bank nonaccrual loans increased with the addition of one new nonaccrual loan partially offset by other nonaccrual principal reductions/charge-offs. There were no repossessed assets or other real estate owned at December 31, 2022. Our nonperforming loans to loans receivable ratio was 1.26% at December 31, 2022, compared to 0.91% at September 30, 2022, and 0.10% at December 31, 2021.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, there were $7,000 of community bank net charge-offs and $7.1 million of nonperforming community bank loans. The $6.9 million nonaccrual balance in commercial real estate loans shown below consists of one loan, is well secured with an original loan to value of 62%, and an updated loan to value of 75% as of January 2023. Management anticipates this loan being resolved in the first half of 2023. For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, $18.8 million in net charge-offs were recorded on CCBX loans. These loans have a higher level of expected losses than our community bank loans, which is reflected in the factors for the allowance for loan losses. In accordance with the program agreement and for this CCBX partner only, the Company is responsible for credit losses on approximately 10% of a $114.5 million loan portfolio. At December 31, 2022, 10% of this portfolio represented $11.5 million in loans. The partner is responsible for credit losses on approximately 90% of this portfolio and for fraud losses on 100% of this portfolio.

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 credit enhancements and BaaS fraud enhancements on total revenue.

Revenue excluding BaaS credit enhancements and BaaS fraud enhancements is a non-GAAP measure that excludes the impact of BaaS credit enhancements and BaaS fraud enhancements on revenue. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is revenue.

Reconciliations of the GAAP and non-GAAP measures are presented below.

APPENDIX B -
As of December 31, 2022

CCBX – BaaS Reporting Information

During the quarter ended December 31, 2022, $31.2 million was recorded in BaaS credit enhancements related to the provision for loan losses and reserve for unfunded commitments for CCBX partner loans and negative deposit accounts. Agreements with our CCBX partners provide for a credit enhancement provided by the partner which protects the Bank by absorbing incurred losses. In accordance with accounting guidance, we estimate and record a provision for probable losses for these CCBX loans and negative deposit accounts. When the provision for loan losses and provision for unfunded commitments is recorded, a receivable is also recorded on the balance sheet through noninterest income (BaaS credit enhancements) in recognition of the CCBX partner legal commitment to cover losses. The receivable is relieved as credit enhancement recoveries are received from the CCBX partner. Agreements with our CCBX partners also provide protection to the Bank from fraud by absorbing incurred fraud losses. Partner fraud includes noncredit fraud losses on loans and deposits originated through partners. 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 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 absorbing 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 loan and deposit 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 receivable from the CCBX partner but would retain the full yield 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 and servicing CCBX loans. To determine net revenue (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(1) which can 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:
