Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

For purposes of this Quarterly Report, the terms the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to BankGuam Holding Company and its subsidiaries. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that are not historical in nature, are predictive in nature, or that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions or contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These include, among other things, statements regarding:

 

Competition for loans and deposits and failure to attract or retain deposits and loans;

 

Local, regional, national and global economic conditions, and the impact they may have on us and our customers, and our assessment of that impact on our estimates, including the allowance for loan losses and fair value measurements;

 

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including reduced tourism in Guam, volatility in the international and national economy and credit markets, quarantines or other travel or health-related restrictions, the length and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and the pace of recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic;

 

Risks associated with concentrations in real estate related loans;

 

Changes in the level of nonperforming assets and charge-offs and other credit quality measures, and their impact on the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses and our provision for loan losses;

 

The effects of and changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including the interest rate policies of the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve Board;

 

Stability of funding sources and continued availability of borrowings;

 

The effect of changes in laws and regulations with which the Company and Bank of Guam must comply, including any change in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance premiums;

 

Our ability to raise capital or incur debt on reasonable terms;

 

Regulatory limits on Bank of Guam’s ability to pay dividends to the Company;

 

The effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and other accounting standard setters;

 

Changes in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance in future quarters;

 

The costs and effects of legal and regulatory developments, including resolution of legal proceedings or regulatory or other governmental inquiries, and the results of regulatory examinations or reviews;

 

The ability to increase market share and control expenses; and,

 

Our success in managing the risks involved in the foregoing items, as well as other statements regarding our future operations, financial condition and prospects, and business strategies.

We are not able to predict all of the factors that may affect future results. Forward-looking statements may be preceded by, followed by or include the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “will,” “is designed to” and similar expressions. We claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for all forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about our business that could affect our future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in “Risk Factors” included in filings we make from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. We have no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or risks, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements. New information, future events or risks could cause the forward-looking statements we discuss in this Quarterly Report not to occur. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our opinions only as of the date of this Quarterly Report.

BankGuam Holding Company

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands, except per share data)

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 – Nature of Business

Organization

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BankGuam Holding Company (“Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Bank of Guam (“Bank”) and BankGuam Investment Services (“BGIS”) (formerly BankGuam Investment and Insurance Services). The Company is a Guam corporation organized on October 29, 2010, to act as the holding company of the Bank, a Guam banking corporation, a 21-branch bank serving the communities in Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), the Republic of Palau (ROP), and San Francisco, California. BankGuam Investment Services was incorporated in Guam in 2015 and initially capitalized during the first quarter of 2016. During July 2016, the Company executed an agreement to purchase up to 70% of ASC Trust LLC, formerly ASC Trust Corporation, which has resulted in the Company purchasing 45% of the voting common stock of ASC Trust LLC to date.

Other than holding the shares of the Bank, BGIS and ASC Trust LLC, the Company conducts no significant activities, although it is authorized, with the prior approval of its principal regulator, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”), to engage in a variety of activities related to the business of banking. Currently, substantially all of the Company’s operations are conducted and substantially all of the assets are owned by the Bank, which accounts for substantially all of our consolidated revenues, expenses and operating income. The Bank provides a variety of financial services to individuals, businesses and governments through its branches. The Bank’s headquarters is located in Hagåtña, Guam. The Bank currently has ten branches in Guam, four in the CNMI, four in the FSM, one in the RMI, one in the ROP, and one in San Francisco, California. The Bank’s primary deposit products are demand deposits, savings and time certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are consumer, commercial and real estate loans. On January 15, 2020, the FDIC notified the Bank that they have no objections to the closure of the Tumon and Malesso branches in Guam Effective April 3, 2020. The Bank proceeded with the closure of Malesso branch, however the closure of Tumon branch was delayed to assist the Bank’s customers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

For ease of reference we will sometimes refer to the Company and the Bank as “we”, “us” or “our”.

 

 

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all footnotes that would be required for a full presentation of financial condition, results of operations, changes in cash flows and comprehensive income in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). However, these interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) which, in the opinion of our management, are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with prior periods, and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, and the notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on March 19, 2020.

Our condensed consolidated financial condition at March 31, 2020, and the condensed consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of what our financial condition will be at December 31, 2020, or of the results of our operations that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2020.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Restricted Cash

Interest-bearing deposits in banks that mature within one year are carried at cost. $150 thousand of these deposits are held by the Bank jointly under the names of Bank of Guam and the Guam Insurance Commissioner, and serve as a bond for the Bank of Guam Trust Department.

COVID-19

The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were issued. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a global pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the United States and around the world. The declaration of a global pandemic indicates that almost all public commerce and related business activities must be, to varying degrees, curtailed with the goal of decreasing the rate of new infections. The outbreak of COVID-19 could adversely impact a broad range of industries in which the Company’s customers operate and impair their ability to fulfill their financial obligations to the Company. On March 3, 2020, the Federal Open Market Committee reduced the target range for federal funds by 50 basis points to 1.00% - 1.25%. This rate was further reduced to a target range of 0% - 0.25% on March 16, 2020. These reductions in interest rates and other effects of the COVID-19 outbreak may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. As a result of the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus, economic uncertainties have risen which are likely to negatively impact net interest income and noninterest income.

Due to the Company’s concerns for the health and safety of its customers and employees, the Bank has temporarily closed one of its branches in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and ten of its branches in Guam (including one that closed permanently in April 2020), and limited the number of customers allowed to be in its remaining facilities at any one time to 50. The Bank has also implemented a telecommuting program for those personnel who are able to perform their responsibilities remotely, provided the computer hardware and software needed to support those tasks, and established teleconferencing capabilities to reduce the number of people in attendance at all of its larger group meetings. In recognition of the potential difficulties that may be faced by our commercial and consumer customers, the Bank initiated a temporary program in March 2020 under which affected customers may have their loan payments deferred or otherwise adjusted. As of the date of this filing, the current program applies to both commercial and consumer loans, and only for a period of 90 days. Although these actions taken in response to the heightened risks posed by COVID-19 are costly, it is not possible at the time of this filing to estimate the final consequences of these impacts on economic performance or the results of the Company’s operations, its financial condition or its cash flows.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, a new Topic which, as modified by ASU 2018-10 and ASU 2018-12, is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements on the basis that it is important that users of financial statements have a complete and understandable picture of an entity’s leasing activities. These ASUs were effective January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842 on its effective date and has elected to not restate prior periods, presenting the cumulative effect of applying the new standard within the opening balance of retained earnings on January 1, 2019. The new standard allows for several transition practical expedients. The Company has chosen to elect the package of practical expedients, which permits the Company to forgo reassessing lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. The Company will apply the hindsight practical expedient when evaluating the lease term and assessing impairment of Right of Usage (“ROU”) assets. The Company also elected to combine the lease and non-lease components, such as maintenance fees, as a single lease component and elected to use the remaining lease term instead of total lease term in determining the incremental borrowing rate. The Company has made an accounting policy election to not recognize lease liabilities and ROU assets for short-term leases, which are leases with initial terms of 12 months or less and for which there is not a purchase option that is reasonably certain to be exercised. All leases within the Company’s portfolio are classified as operating leases. On adoption, the Company recognized ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases of $32.6 million and $32.4 million, respectively, with no cumulative effect in retained earnings, which are included in other assets and other liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)”. This update allows a reclassification for stranded tax effects related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of December 22, 2017, and is intended to improve the usefulness of information reported to the users of financial statements. The effective date of this update is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Although adoption of this standard is not required of the Company until January 1, 2020, early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2019, and reclassified $496 thousand from deferred tax asset to retained earnings at March 31, 2019.

Recently Issued but Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)”, to amend the standards for the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments by replacing the historical incurred loss impairment methodology of determining the level of the allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”), including losses associated with available-for-sale securities, with a more decision-useful methodology that reflects expected credit losses over the life of a financial instrument based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts in determining the ALLL level, as well as the reserve for off-balance-sheet credit exposures. The Company was preparing to implement ASU 2016-13 when it was scheduled to become effective January 1, 2020, but the FASB announced on October 16, 2019, a delay of the effective date for smaller reporting companies until January 1, 2023. Management expects to recognize a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective, but cannot yet estimate the magnitude of the adjustment or the overall impact of the new guidance on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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," which provides temporary optional expedients to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to an alternative reference rate such as Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). The guidance was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating this guidance to determine the date of adoption and the impact on the Company.

 

Note 3 – Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share represent income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to shares subscribed but not yet issued in 2020 and 2019 under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and are reported as dilutive options. No shares were subscribed but not issued at March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Earnings per common share are computed based on reported net income, preferred stock dividends and the following common share data:

At March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, investment securities with a carrying value of $336.8 million and $299.5 million, respectively, were pledged to secure various government deposits and to meet other public requirements.

There were no sales of investment securities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities by contractual maturity at March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or borrowers the right to prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. At March 31, 2020, obligations of U.S. government corporations and agencies with amortized costs totaling $429.4 million consist predominantly of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) agency pool securities totaling $182.9 million and residential mortgage-backed securities totaling $169.2 million whose contractual maturity, or principal repayment, will follow the repayment of the underlying small business loans or mortgages. For purposes of the following table, the entire outstanding balance of these SBA pools and mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government corporations and agencies is categorized based on final maturity date. At March 31, 2020, the Bank estimates the average remaining life of these SBA pools and mortgage-backed securities to be each approximately 2.7 years, respectively.

The investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2020, comprised a total of 68 Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Pool securities, which were not other-than-temporarily impaired.  

Total gross unrealized losses were primarily attributable to changes in market interest rates, relative to when the investment securities were purchased, and not due to any change in the credit quality of the investment securities. The Company does not intend to sell the investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position and it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell the investment securities before recovery of their amortized cost, which may be at maturity. However, the Company may elect to sell certain investment securities with an unrealized loss position in its “available for sale” portfolio as needed to replenish its liquidity.

Investment in Unconsolidated Subsidiary

On July 1, 2019, with the approval of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, the Company used $4.1 million of the proceeds from the subordinated notes totaling $15.0 million that were issued on June 27, 2019, to acquire an additional 20% of the voting common stock of ASC Trust LLC at the second closing, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated May 27, 2016, between the Company and David J. John, as amended to date. This transaction brought the Company’s non-controlling interest in ASC Trust LLC to 45%. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer serves on the Board of Directors of ASC Trust LLC. Another of the Company’s Board members also serves as a non-minority voting member of an entity that owns 10% of the common stock of ASC Trust LCC. See “Note 13 – Subordinated Debt” for more detailed information on the subordinated notes. The Agreement provides for the acquisition of an additional 25% of the stock of ASC Trust LLC in April 2021, with the future purchase subject to regulatory approval. The Agreement contains customary warranties, representations and indemnification provisions.

Note 5 – Loans Held for Sale, Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses

Loans Held for Sale

In its normal course of business, the Bank originates mortgage loans held for sale to the FHLMC. The Bank has elected to measure its residential mortgage loans held for sale at cost. Origination fees and costs are recognized in earnings at the time of origination. Loans are sold to FHLMC at par.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Bank originated $3.4 million and sold approximately $3.4 million in FHLMC mortgage loans. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Bank originated approximately $3.6 million and sold approximately $8.4 million in FHLMC loans

Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The unpaid principal balances of mortgage loans serviced for others were $186.4 million at March 31, 2020, and $189.5 million at December 31, 2019. The decrease of $3.1 million (1.6%) during the three months ended March 31, 2020, was due to the principal paydowns during the period.

We retain mortgage servicing rights on mortgage loans that we sell. Such rights represent the net positive cash flows generated from the servicing of such mortgage loans and we recognize such rights as assets on our statements of financial condition based on their estimated fair values. We receive servicing fees, less any subservicing costs, on the unpaid principal balances of such mortgage loans. Those fees are collected from the monthly payments made by the mortgagors or from the proceeds of the sale or foreclosure and liquidation of the underlying real property collateralizing the loans. At March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, mortgage servicing rights each totaled $1.7 million, respectively, and are included in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The Bank accounts for mortgage servicing rights at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as a part of service fees and charges in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Loans

Outstanding loan balances are presented net of unearned income, deferred loan fees, and unamortized discount and premium totaling $2.7 million at March 31, 2020, and $2.9 million at December 31, 2019. Loans subject to ASC Topic 310-30, “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality,” are presented net of the related accretable yield.

Paycheck Protection Program

With the passage of the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), the Bank is actively participating in assisting its customers with applications for resources through the program. PPP loans have a two-year term and earn interest at 1%. The Bank believes that the majority of these loans will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA in accordance with the terms of the program. As of April 30, 2020, the Bank has approved over $90.0 million in PPP loans. The Bank has already funded a portion of the PPP loans in April 2020 and expects to fully fund them by the end of May 2020. It is the Bank’s understanding that loans funded through the PPP program are fully guaranteed by the U.S. government. Should those circumstances change, the Bank could be required to establish additional allowance for loan loss through additional credit loss expense charged to earnings.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a quarterly basis by Bank management, and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available or conditions change.

The allowance consists of allocated and general components. The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. ASC 310-10 defines an impaired loan as one for which there is uncertainty concerning collection of all principal and interest per the original contractual terms of the loan. For those loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flow (or the collateral value or the observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of the loan. The general component covers unimpaired loans, and is estimated using a loss migration analysis based on historical charge-off experience and expected loss, given the default probability derived from the Bank’s internal risk rating process. The loss migration analysis tracks twelve rolling quarters of loan loss history and industry loss factors to determine historical losses by classification category for each loan type, except certain consumer loans. These calculated loss factors are then applied to outstanding loan balances for all non-impaired loans. Additionally, a qualitative factor that is determined utilizing external economic factors and internal assessments is applied to each homogeneous loan pool. We also conduct individual loan review analyses, as part of the allowance for loan loss allocation process, applying specific monitoring policies and procedures in analyzing the existing loan portfolio.

In the three months ended March 31, 2020, management adjusted the economic risk factor methodology to incorporate the current economic implications, which includes receding tourism and rising unemployment due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Set forth below is a summary of the Bank’s activity in the allowance for loan losses during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, and the year ended December 31, 2019:

Generally, the accrual of interest on a loan is discontinued when principal or interest payments become more than 90 days past due, unless management believes the loan is adequately collateralized and is in the process of collection, with the exception of automobile and other consumer loans which, rather than being placed on non-accrual status, are charged off once they become 120 days delinquent. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against current income. Subsequent collections of cash are applied as principal reductions when received, except when the ultimate collectability of principal is probable, in which case interest payments are credited to income. Non-accrual loans may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest become current and full repayment is expected.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Bank uses several credit quality indicators to manage credit risk, including an internal credit risk rating system that categorizes loans into pass, special mention, substandard, formula classified, doubtful or loss categories. Credit risk ratings are applied individually to those classes of loans that have significant or unique credit characteristics and that benefit from a case-by-case evaluation. These are typically loans to businesses or individuals in the classes which comprise the commercial portfolio segment. Groups of loans that are underwritten and structured using standardized criteria and characteristics, such as statistical models (e.g., credit scoring or payment performance), are typically risk-rated and monitored collectively. These are typically loans to individuals in the classes which comprise the consumer portfolio segment.

The following are the definitions of the Bank’s credit quality indicators:

Pass (A): Exceptional: Essentially risk-free credit. These are loans of the highest quality that pose virtually no risk of loss to the Bank. This includes loans fully collateralized by means of a savings account(s) and time certificate(s) of deposit, and by at least 110% of the loan amount. Borrowers should have strong financial statements, good liquidity and excellent credit.

Pass (B): Standard: Multiple, strong sources of repayment. These are loans to borrowers with a demonstrated history of financial and managerial performance. The risk of loss is considered to be low. Loans are well-structured, with clearly identified primary and readily available secondary sources of repayment. These loans may be secured by an equal amount of funds in a savings account or time certificate of deposit. These loans may also be secured by marketable collateral whose value can be reasonably determined through outside appraisals. The borrower characteristically has well supported cash flows and low leverage.

Pass (C): Acceptable: Good primary and secondary sources of repayment. These are loans to borrowers of average financial condition, stability and management expertise. The borrower should be a well-established individual or company with adequate financial resources to withstand short-term fluctuations in the marketplace. The borrower’s financial ratios and trends are favorable. The loans may be unsecured or supported by non-real estate collateral for which the value is more difficult to determine, represent a reasonable credit risk and require an average amount of account officer attention. The borrower’s ability to repay unsecured credit is to be of unquestionable strength.

Pass (D): Monitor: Sufficient primary sources of repayment and an acceptable secondary source of repayment. Acceptable business or individual credit, but the borrower’s operations, cash flows or financial conditions carry average levels of risk. These loans are considered to be collectable in full, but may require a greater-than-average amount of loan officer monitoring. Borrowers are capable of absorbing normal setbacks without failing to meet the terms of the loan agreement.

Special Mention: A Special Mention asset has potential weaknesses that deserve a heightened degree of monitoring. These potential weaknesses may result in a deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. The Special Mention classification should neither be a compromise between a pass grade and substandard, nor should it be a “catch all” grade to identify any loan that has a policy exception.

18


Substandard: A Substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and payment capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Assets classified as substandard are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Formula Classified: Formula Classified loans are all loans and credit cards delinquent 90 days and over which have yet to be formally classified Special Mention, Substandard or Doubtful by the Bank’s Loan Committee. In most instances, the monthly formula total is comprised primarily of residential real estate loans, consumer loans, credit cards and commercial loans under $250 thousand. However, commercial loans are typically formally classified by the Loan Committee no later than their 90-day delinquency, and those do not become part of the formula classification. Real estate loans 90-days delinquent that are in the foreclosure process, which is typically completed within another 60 days, are not formally classified during this period.

Doubtful: A loan with weaknesses well enough defined that eventual repayment in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, is highly questionable, even though certain factors may be present which could improve the status of the loan. The probability of some loss is extremely high, but because of certain known factors that may work to the advantage of strengthening of the assets (i.e. capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral, refinancing plans, etc.), its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status can be determined.

Loss: Loans classified as “Loss” are considered uncollectible, and are either unsecured or are supported by collateral that is of little to no value. As such, their continuance as recorded assets is not warranted. While this classification does not mandate that a loan has no ultimate recovery value, losses should be taken in the period during which these loans are deemed to be uncollectible. Loans identified as loss are immediately approved for charge-off. The Bank may refer loans to outside collection agencies, attorneys, or its internal collection division to continue collection efforts. Any subsequent recoveries are credited to the Allowance for Loan Losses.

19


The Bank classifies its loan portfolios using internal credit quality ratings, as discussed above under Allowance for Loan Losses. The following table provides a summary of loans by portfolio type and the Bank’s internal credit quality ratings as of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019:

As the above table indicates, the Bank’s total gross loans approximated $1.33 billion at March 31, 2020, up $22.3 million from $1.31 billion at December 31, 2019. The disaggregation of the portfolio by risk rating in the table reflects the following changes between December 31, 2019, and March 31, 2020:

 

Loans rated “pass” increased by $14.5 million, to $1.24 billion at March 31, 2020, from $1.22 billion at December 31, 2019. The increase is primarily attributed to increases in commercial mortgage loans by $17.6 million and commercial construction loans by $12.2 million. These increases were partially offset by decreases in commercial & industrial loans by $12.4 million, other consumer loans by $2.6 million, and automobile loans by $456 thousand. The increase in commercial mortgage is due to new loans, while the increase in commercial construction loans were due to new loans totaling $12.0 million and additional disbursements of $3.0 million. These increases were offset by $1.6 million in pay downs and one loan totaling $1.2 million in construction that was completed and reallocated to commercial mortgage category. The decrease in commercial & industrial was due to $28.0 million in pay offs, $11.3 million in pay downs and $5.6 million in one loan relationship that was classified to “special mention”, offset by $19.6 million in new loans and $12.9 million in additional disbursements. The decrease in other consumer are due to $13.4 million in pay downs, $11.4 million in payoffs, $428 thousand in charge-offs and $43 thousand classified to “formula”. These decreases were largely offset by $23.1 million in loans funded during the quarter. The decrease in automobile loans is due to pay downs and payoffs.         

 

The “special mention” category increased by $10.7 million, to $14.4 million at March 31, 2020, from $ 3.6 million at December 31, 2019. This is attributed to an increase in commercial & industrial loans by $10.7 million, primarily as a result of one loan relationship totaling $5.6 million reclassified to “special mention”. In addition, there were new loans from the same relationship totaling $5.6 million.

20


 

Loans classified as “substandard” decreased by $976 thousand, to $59.8 million at March 31, 2020, from $60.8 million at December 31, 2019. The decrease was the result of commercial & industrial primarily due to $527 thousand in pay downs. The decrease in substandard commercial mortgage loans by $426 thousand is due to pay downs.

 

The “formula classified” category decreased by $1.2 million, to $4.3 million at March 31, 2020, from $5.4 million at December 31, 2019. The decrease is due primarily to a decrease of other consumer loans in that category by $1.3 million due to COVID-19 loan deferrals.

 

The “doubtful” category decreased by $782 thousand, to $10.7 million at March 31, 2020, from $11.5 million at December 31, 2019. The decrease of $515 thousand in commercial & industrial loans were due to paydowns, while the decrease of $267 thousand in commercial mortgage was primarily due to one loan payoff of $260 thousand.   

Impaired Loans

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the original contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

Impaired loans include loans that are in non-accrual status and other loans that have been modified in Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs), where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from the Bank’s loss mitigation actions, and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forbearance, or other actions taken with the intention of maximizing collections.

Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and real estate loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral (if the loan is collateral-dependent). Large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment. Impairment reserves for these groups of consumer loans are determined using historical loss given default rates for similar loans.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

In accordance with FASB’s Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring” (ASU No. 2011-02), the Bank had $21.4 million of troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) as of March 31, 2020, down by $1.1 million from $22.5 million at December 31, 2019, primarily in commercial mortgage loans. The restructured loans recorded with the Bank have been modified for the purpose of alleviating temporary impairments to the borrower’s financial condition. The modifications that the Bank has extended to borrowers have come in the form of a change in the repayment terms. The workout plan between the borrower and the Bank is designed to provide a bridge for cash flow shortfalls in the near term. As the borrower works through the near-term issues, in most cases, the original contractual terms will be reinstated.

P.L. 116-136, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) provided guidance around the modification of loans as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which outlined, among other criteria, that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis to borrowers who were current as defined by the CARES Act prior to any relief, are not TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g. six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers are considered current under the CARES Act if they are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented.

Additional information regarding performing and nonperforming TDRs at March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, is set forth in the following table:

Principal modification includes principal forgiveness at the time of modification, contingent principal forgiveness granted over the life of the loan based on borrower performance, and principal that has been legally separated and deferred to the end of the loan, with zero percent contractual interest rate.

 

In an effort to constructively work with borrowers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bank initiated a temporary program in March 2020 to allow for 90-day deferrals for residential mortgage and commercial loans upon request from the borrower, and a 90-day deferral for all consumer and automobile loans. The Bank did not identify consumer loans that were deferred and were over 30 days delinquent as TDRs due to the dollar amounts of the loans. However, management did identify a specific reserve for consumer loans over 90 days that were deferred and increased its environmental factors for the reserve to account for the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

There were no defaults on troubled debt restructurings following the modification during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

The Bank has two significant borrowing relationships in bankruptcy. The Bank has calculated a specific reserve within the allowance for one of the borrowing relationships in bankruptcy in the amount of $4.2 million, and has sufficient collateral for the other borrowing relationship. The Bank’s management believes that at March 31, 2020, there is sufficient coverage to protect the Bank’s exposure to both relationships.

23


Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies

The Bank is involved in certain legal actions and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that, as a result of its legal defenses and insurance arrangements, none of these matters is expected to have a material adverse effect on the Bank’s, BGIS’s or the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

 

Note 7 – Regulatory Capital Requirements

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the United States federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s, BGIS’s and the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items, as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of Total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of March 31, 2020, the Bank’s capital ratios each exceeded the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s well capitalized standards under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum Total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since the Bank’s last regulatory examination that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. The Bank anticipates a large influx of deposits from the federal relief programs due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and understands the adverse impact it will have on its Tier 1 capital (to average assets). Management believes that is has the capacity to absorb the growth in total assets, and the tools needed to move deposits off of its balance sheet through its Trust services to continue to be above the well capitalized standards under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

 

The Company’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, are presented in the table below.

Note 8 – Off-Balance-Sheet Activities

The Bank is a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its customers in the normal course of business. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and commercial letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in addition to the amount reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss, in the event of nonperformance by the other parties to financial instruments for loan commitments and letters of credit, is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Bank follows the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

A summary of financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk at March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, is as follows:

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. The commitments for some lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

Commercial and standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party or the shipment of merchandise from a third party. These letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The majority of all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers, and similar credit underwriting standards are applied. The Bank generally holds collateral supporting those commitments.

The Bank considers its standby and other letters of credit to be payment guarantees. At March 31, 2020, the maximum undiscounted future payments that the Bank could be required to make for all outstanding letters of credit were $59.0 million. All of these arrangements mature within one year. The Bank has recourse to recover from the customer any amounts paid under these guarantees. Most of the guarantees are fully collateralized; however, several are unsecured. The Bank had recorded $36 thousand in reserve liabilities associated with these guarantees at March 31, 2020.

 

 

Note 9 – Income Taxes

We record an amount equal to the tax credits, tax loss carry-forwards and tax deductions (“tax benefits”) that we believe will be available to offset or reduce the amounts of income taxes in future periods as a deferred tax asset on our condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. Under applicable federal and state income tax laws and regulations in the United States, such tax benefits will expire if not used within specified periods of time. Accordingly, the ability to fully use the deferred tax asset depends on the amount of taxable income that we generate during those time periods. At least once each year, or more frequently if warranted, we make an estimates of future taxable income that we believe we are likely to generate during those future periods. If we conclude, on the basis of those estimates and the amount of the tax benefits available to us, that it is more likely than not that we will be able to fully utilize those tax benefits prior to their expiration, we recognize the deferred tax asset in full on our balance sheet. On the other hand, if we conclude on the basis of those estimates and the amount of the tax benefits available to us that it has become more likely than not that we will be unable to utilize those tax benefits in full prior to their expiration, then we would establish a (or increase any existing) valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax asset on our balance sheet to the amount which we believe we are more likely than not to be able to utilize. Such a reduction is implemented by recognizing a non-cash charge that would have the effect of increasing the provision, or reducing any credit, for income taxes that we would otherwise have recorded in our condensed consolidated statements of income. The determination of whether and the extent to which we will be able to utilize our deferred tax asset involves significant management judgments and assumptions that are subject to period-to-period changes as a result of changes in tax laws, changes in the market, or economic conditions that could affect our operating results or variances between our actual operating results and our projected operating results, as well as other factors.

25


A valuation allowance of $1.8 million has been provided at March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, to reduce the deferred tax asset because, in management’s opinion, it is more likely than not that less than the entire amount will be realized. The portion of the deferred tax asset with valuation allowance is attributable to a cumulative net operating loss carry forward from the Bank’s CNMI operations, which losses management anticipates will continue. The charge from the net operating loss has already been realized in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income as a result of the Guam income tax code.

The difference between the effective income tax expense and the income tax expense computed at the Guam statutory rate of 21% was due to nontaxable interest income earned on loans to the Government of Guam.

In addition to filing a federal income tax return in Guam, the Bank files income tax returns in the CNMI and the State of California. The Bank is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2012.

 

Note 10 – Fair Value Measurements

The Bank uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, the fair value of a financial instrument is 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. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances there are no quoted market prices for the Bank’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. The fair value guidance of ASC Topic 820 provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under then-current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under then-current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances, and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under then-current market conditions.

Fair Value Hierarchy

In accordance with the guidance of ASC Topic 820, the Bank groups its financial assets and financial liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

Level 1:

Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market, as well as certain U.S. Treasury securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:

Valuation is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The valuation may be based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3:

Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The valuation technique used for Level 3 mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) is their discounted cash flow. Inputs considered in determining Level 3 pricing include the anticipated prepayment rates, discount rates, and cost to service. Significant increases or decreases in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Under certain circumstances, the Bank makes adjustments to fair value for assets and liabilities even though they are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis. The following table presents the financial instruments carried on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition by caption and by level in the fair value hierarchy at March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, for which a nonrecurring change in fair value has been recorded:

The fair value of loans subject to write downs is estimated using the appraised value of the underlying collateral, discounted as necessary due to management’s estimates of changes in economic conditions.

Additionally, the Bank also makes adjustments to nonfinancial assets and liabilities even though they are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis. With the exception of other real estate owned, the Bank does not have nonfinancial assets or liabilities for which a nonrecurring change in fair value has been recorded during the periods ended March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Bank in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amount of cash and short-term instruments approximates fair value based on the short-term nature of the assets.

Interest-Bearing Deposits in Banks

Fair values for other interest-bearing deposits are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current interest rates or yields for similar types of deposits.

28


Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

The Bank is a member of the FHLB of Des Moines. As a member, we are required to own stock of the FHLB, the amount of which is based primarily on the level of our borrowings from that institution. We also have the right to acquire additional shares of stock in the FHLB; however, to date, we have not done so. It is not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

Investment Securities

When quoted prices are available in an active market, the Bank classifies the securities within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include U.S. Treasury notes and bonds.

If quoted market prices are not available, the Bank estimates fair values using pricing models and discounted cash flows that consider standard input factors such as observable market data, benchmark yields, interest rate volatilities, broker/dealer quotes, and credit spreads. Examples of such instruments, which would generally be classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, include U.S. GSE obligations, U.S. government agency pool securities, and other securities. Mortgage-backed securities are included in Level 2 if observable inputs are available. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, the Bank would classify those securities in Level 3. At March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Bank did not have any Level 3 investment securities.

Loans

For variable-rate loans that re-price frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based upon interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for nonperforming loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable. Loans are classified in Level 3.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

The fair value of MSRs is determined using models which depend on estimates of prepayment rates, discount rates and costs to service. MSRs are classified in Level 3.

Deposit Liabilities

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (for example, interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current market interest rates on comparable instruments to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits. Deposit liabilities are classified in Level 3.

Short-Term Borrowings

The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased and FHLB advances maturing within ninety days approximate their fair values.

Long-Term Borrowings

The fair value of FHLB advances maturing after ninety days is determined based on expected present value techniques using current market interest rates for advances with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Accrued Interest

The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates fair value.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Management does not believe it is practicable to provide an estimate of fair value for off-balance sheet commitments or contingent liabilities because of the uncertainty involved in attempting to assess the likelihood and timing of a commitment being drawn upon, coupled with a lack of an established market for these instruments and the wide diversity of fee structures.

Note 12 – Leases

 

The Bank leases certain land, office spaces, and storage spaces. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Instead, the Bank recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 50 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease terms, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.

30


Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of the prevailing market value of the lease and the average of the Treasury Bill Rate and the Guam Consumer Price Index figure, and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. The Bank's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The Bank leases certain facilities from two separate entities in which two of its directors have separate ownership interests. Lease payments made to these entities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, approximated $59 thousand and $58 thousand, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2019, lease payments made to these entities approximated $354 thousand.

Additionally, the Bank leases office space to third parties, with original lease terms ranging from 1 to 3 years with option periods ranging up to 12 years. At March 31, 2020, minimum future rents to be received under non-cancelable operating sublease agreements were $34 thousand and $8 thousand for the periods ending December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively.

The cash flow from operating leases included in the measurement of lease liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2020, was $876 thousand.

The following table summarizes the lease-related assets and liabilities recorded as part of other assets and other liabilities, respectively, in our condensed consolidated statements of financial condition at March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019:

Note 13 – Subordinated Debt

On June 27, 2019, the Company issued $15.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.35% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due June 30, 2029 (the “Notes”).

The Notes have a ten-year term and initially bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 6.35%. Beginning June 30, 2024, the interest rate will reset quarterly to the then-current three-month LIBOR plus 466 basis points. The Company is required to pay interest only semi-annually during the fixed period, and quarterly during the floating rate period. The principal sum of the Notes plus any unpaid interest are due on the maturity date.

The Notes are unsecured, subordinated obligations of the Company only and are not obligations of, and are not guaranteed by, any subsidiary of the Company. The Notes rank junior in right to payment to the Company’s current and future senior indebtedness.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion provides information about the results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, and capital resources of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Bank and BGIS. This information is intended to facilitate the understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to our financial condition and the results of operations. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes presented elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Overview

BankGuam Holding Company (the “Company”) is a Guam corporation organized on October 29, 2010, to act as a holding company of Bank of Guam (the “Bank”), a 21-branch bank serving the communities in Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (“CNMI”), the Federated States of Micronesia (“FSM”), the Republic of the Marshall Islands (“RMI”), the Republic of Palau (“ROP”), and San Francisco, California. On August 15, 2011, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of the Bank in a holding company formation transaction.

In August 2015, the Company chartered a second subsidiary, BankGuam Investment Services (“BGIS”), in an effort to enhance the options and opportunities of our customers to build future income and wealth. BGIS was capitalized in the amount of $300 thousand during the first quarter of 2016, and was in full operation by the end of May 2016. BGIS is a registered investment company, primarily involved in providing investment advisory services and trading securities for its customers.

In May 2016, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire 25% of ASC Trust LLC, formerly ASC Trust Corporation, a Guam trust company. In July 2016, subsequent to the approval of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco in June 2016, the purchase was executed. As stated in Note 4 – Investment Securities, and with the approval of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, an additional 20% of ASC Trust LLC, formerly ASC Trust Corporation, was purchased by the Company in July 2019. This transaction brought the Company’s non-controlling interest in ASC Trust LLC to 45%. See “Note 22 – Subordinated Debt” for more detailed information on the subordinated notes. The Agreement provides for the acquisition of an additional 25% of the stock of ASC Trust LLC in April 2021, with the future purchase subject to regulatory approval. The Agreement contains customary warranties, representations and indemnification provisions. ASC Trust LLC is primarily involved in administering 401(k) retirement plans and other employee benefit programs for its customers.

Other than holding the shares of the Bank, BGIS and ASC Trust LLC, the Company conducts no significant activities, although it is authorized, with the prior approval of its principal regulator, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, to engage in a variety of activities related to the business of banking. Currently, substantially all of the Company’s operations are conducted and substantially all of its assets are owned by the Bank, which accounts for substantially all of our consolidated revenues, expenses and operating income. The Bank’s headquarters is located in Hagåtña, Guam, and the Bank provides a variety of financial services to individuals, businesses and government entities through its branch network. The Bank’s primary deposit products are demand deposits, savings and time certificates of deposit, and its primary lending products are consumer, commercial and real estate loans. The Bank also provides many other financial services to its customers. On January 15, 2020, the FDIC notified the Bank that they have no objections to the closure of the Tumon and Malesso branches in Guam Effective April 3, 2020. The Bank proceeded with the closure of Malesso branch, however the closure of Tumon branch was delayed to assist the Bank’s customers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As the above table indicates, our net income increased in the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019. In the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded net income after taxes of $3.2 million, an increase of $343 thousand (or 11.8%) as compared to the same period in 2019. The primary reasons for the increase were increases of $445 thousand in non-interest income and a reduction of $1.6 million in provision for loan losses, partially offset by a reduction in net interest income of $1.6 million and an increase in non-interest expense of $258 thousand.

 

The following table shows the increase in our net interest margin in the three months ended March 31, 2020, but it also indicates the impact that the increase in our net income had on our annualized returns on average assets and average equity. Our return on average equity increased by 0.06% during the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019, and our return on average assets increased by 5 basis points:

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 2 in the Notes to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2019 filed with the SEC on March 19, 2020, and Note 2 of Item 1 in this report. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and general practices in the banking industry. Certain of those accounting policies are considered critical accounting policies because they require us to make assumptions and judgments regarding circumstances or trends that could affect the carrying values of our material assets, such as assumptions regarding economic conditions or trends that could impact our ability to fully collect our outstanding loans or ultimately realize the carrying values of certain of our other assets, such as securities that are available for sale. If adverse changes were to occur in the events, trends or other circumstances on which our assumptions or judgments have been based, or other unanticipated events were to happen that might affect our operating results, it could become necessary under GAAP for us to reduce the carrying values of the affected assets in our condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. In addition, because reductions in the carrying values of assets are sometimes effectuated by or require charges to income, such reductions also may have the effect of reducing our income.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, the primary component of the Bank’s income, refers to the difference between the interest earned on loans, investment securities and other interest-earning assets, and the interest paid on deposits and other borrowed funds. Our interest income and interest expense are affected by a number of factors, some of which are outside of our control, including national and local economic conditions, the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee which affect interest rates, competition in the marketplace for loans and deposits, the demand for loans and the ability of borrowers to meet their payment obligations. Net interest income, when expressed as a percentage of average earning assets, is a banking organization’s “net interest margin.”

The following table sets forth our interest income, interest expense and net interest income, and our annualized net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively:

Net interest income decreased by 6.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net interest income decreased by $1.6 million as compared to the same period in 2019. Total interest income decreased by $1.3 million due decreases of $566 thousand in earnings on loans, $539 thousand in interest earned on our short term investments, and $213 thousand on deposits with banks during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The reduction in our net interest margin was the result of a decrease of 0.46% in the yield on our average earning assets in the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period of 2019, the effect of which was partially offset by an increase in our average earning assets of 3.6% between those same comparative periods.

On March 3, 2020, the Federal Open Market Committee reduced the target federal funds rate by 50 basis points to 1.00% - 1.25%. This rate was further reduced to a target range of 0% - 0.25% on March 16, 2020. These reductions in interest rates and other effects of the COVID-19 outbreak may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. As a result of the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus, economic uncertainties have risen which are likely to negatively impact net interest income.

Loans include the average balance of non-accrual loans. Loan interest income includes loan fees of $583 thousand and $749 thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, our total average earning assets increased by $66.0 million as compared to the same period in 2019. The increase during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, is attributed to the $46.6 million increase in our average loan portfolio, and a $34.8 million increase in average short term investments, only partially offset by the $15.5 million decrease in our average investment securities. Average noninterest earning assets increased by $11.2 million. In the three months ended March 31, 2020, average total interest-bearing liabilities increased by $20.0 million in comparison to the same period in 2019. In the three months ended March 31, 2020, the increase was comprised of the $15.5 million increase in average interest-bearing checking accounts, and a $14.8 million increase in average subordinated debt, offset by the $5.9 million decrease in average savings accounts, and a $4.3 million decrease in average certificates of deposit. The overall increase in average interest-bearing liabilities resulted from an increase in our deposit base, primarily in commercial checking accounts. This was supplemented by an increase of $40.7 million in average non-interest bearing liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily in traditional checking accounts, moderated an overall increase of $60.7 million in average total liabilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, average stockholders’ equity increased by $16.4 million (10.9%) respectively, in comparison to the year-earlier period.

Our interest rate spread decreased by 53 basis points (0.53%), and our net interest margin decreased by 50 basis point (0.50%) in the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the decrease in our interest rate spread is attributed to the 46 basis point (0.46%) decrease in the average yield on our interest earning assets, from 5.14% to 4.68%, while the average rate on our interest-bearing liabilities increased by 7 basis points from 0.17% to 0.24%.

The following table provides information regarding the changes in interest income and interest expense, attributable to changes in rates and changes in volumes, that contributed to the total change in net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2020, in comparison to the three months ended March 31, 2019:

Provision for Loan Losses

We maintain allowances for probable loan losses that are incurred as a normal part of the banking business. As more fully discussed in Note 5 of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an allowance for loan losses has been established by management in order to provide for those loans which, for a variety of reasons, may not be repaid in their entirety. The allowance is maintained at a level considered by management to be adequate to provide for probable losses that are accrued as of the balance sheet date and based on methodologies applied on a consistent basis with the prior year. Management’s review of the adequacy of the allowance includes, among other things, loan growth, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, an analysis of past loan loss experience and management’s evaluation of the loan portfolio under current economic conditions.

The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates, and ultimate losses will vary from current estimates. The Bank recognizes that credit losses will be experienced and the risk of loss will vary with, among other things: general economic conditions; the type of loan being made; the credit worthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan; and, in the case of a collateralized loan, the quality and valuation of the collateral for such loan. The allowance for loan losses represents the Bank’s best estimate of the allowance necessary to provide for probable losses in the portfolio as of the balance sheet date.

If management determines that it is necessary to increase the allowance for loan losses, a provision for loan losses is recorded. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Bank’s provision for loan losses was $2.2 million, which was $1.6 million lower than the corresponding period of 2019. In the three months ended March 31, 2020, management adjusted the economic risk factor methodology to incorporate the current economic implications, which includes reduced tourism and higher unemployment due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Management believes that the provision recorded was sufficient to offset the incremental risk of loss inherent in the gross loan portfolio of $1.33 billion at March 31, 2020, an increase of $22.3 million from December 31, 2019. The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2020, stood at $29.1 million or 2.19% of total gross loans outstanding as of the balance sheet date, an increase of $1.2 million from December 31, 2019. We recorded net loan charge-offs of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. See “Analysis of Allowance for Loan Losses” in the Financial Condition Section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for more detailed information.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, non-interest income totaled $4.1 million, which represented an increase of $445 thousand (12.3%) as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019. The growth during the three months ended March 31, 2020, is primarily attributed to the increases in income of $268 thousand in service charges and fees, and $145 thousand in other income, primarily due to the increase in the income from the Company’s equity investment in its unconsolidated subsidiary of $148 thousand during the period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, non-interest expense totaled $19.2 million, which was an increase of $258 thousand (1.4%) as compared to the same period in 2019. The increase is primarily attributed to the $448 thousand increase in our salaries and employee benefits, $212 thousand increase in equipment and depreciation expense and the $155 thousand increase in contract services. The increase in salaries and benefits is primarily due to the annual merit increases, the increase in equipment and depreciation expense resulted primarily from increases in computer equipment and software expenses of $243. These increases were largely offset by a decrease in the other real estate owned expense of $485 thousand due to charge downs of two previously foreclosed properties in California in order to meet regulatory requirements during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

 

Income Tax Expense

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Bank recorded income tax expenses of $755 thousand. This expense was $62 thousand lower than the income tax expense recorded for the corresponding periods in 2019.

Financial Condition

Assets

As of March 31, 2020, total assets were $1.99 billion, an increase of 2.1% from the $1.95 billion at December 31, 2019. This $40.3 million increase was comprised of the $28.4 million increase in interest bearing deposits in banks, $21.3 million growth in our net loan portfolio and a $6.7 million increase in our net investment securities portfolio, but partially offset by the reduction of $11.7 million in other assets and the $4.8 million decrease in our cash and due from banks. As our net loans increased slower than our total assets, the proportion of net loans to total assets decreased from 65.3% at December 31, 2019, to 65.0% at March 31, 2020. The growth in assets was associated with the $30.8 million increase in total deposits, a $2.7 million increase in other liabilities, a $2.1 million increase in retained earnings and the $4.6 million improvement in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Loans

Commercial & industrial loans are loans to businesses to finance capital purchases and improvements, or to provide cash flow for operations. Commercial mortgage loans include loans secured by real property for purposes such as the purchase or improvement of that property, wherein repayment is derived from the income generated by the real property or from business operations. Residential mortgage loans are loans to consumers to finance the purchase, improvement, or refinance of real property secured by 1-4 family housing units. Consumer loans include loans to individuals to finance personal needs and are either closed- or open-ended loans. Automobile loans fall under the consumer loan category, but the bulk of consumer loans is typically unsecured extensions of credit such as credit card debt and personal signature loans.

At March 31, 2020, total gross loans increased by $22.3 million, to $1.33 billion, from $1.31 billion at December 31, 2019. The increase in loans was largely attributed to a $26.4 million increase in total commercial loans, to $972.0 million at March 31, 2020, from $945.6 million at December 31, 2019. The underlying increases were comprised of commercial mortgage loans rising by $16.9 million, along with increases in commercial construction loans by $12.2 million, offset by a decrease in commercial & industrial loans by $2.7 million. The increase in total commercial loans was partially offset by a $4.2 million decrease in total consumer loans, to $356.3 million at March 31, 2020, from $360.5 million at December 31, 2019. The decreases were in other consumer loans by $3.9 million and automobile loans by $548 thousand. These were partially offset by the increase in residential mortgage by $222 thousand and home equity loans by $64 thousand.

In recognition of the potential difficulties that may be faced by our commercial and consumer customers due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bank initiated a temporary program in March 2020 under which affected customers may have their loan payments deferred or otherwise adjusted. As of the date of this filing, the current program applies to both commercial and consumer loans, and only for a period of up to 90 days.

With the passage of the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), the Bank actively participated in assisting its customers with applications for resources through the program. PPP loans have a two-year term and earn interest at 1%. The Bank believes that the majority of these loans will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA in accordance with the terms of the program. As of April 30, 2020, the Bank has approved over $90.0 million in PPP loans. The Bank has already funded a portion of the PPP loans in April 2020 and expects to fully fund them by the end of May 2020. It is the Bank’s understanding that loans funded through the PPP program are fully guaranteed by the U.S. government. Should those circumstances change, the Bank could be required to establish additional allowance for loan loss through additional credit loss expense charged to earnings.

At March 31, 2020, loans outstanding were comprised of approximately 70.30% in variable rate loans and 29.70% in fixed rate loans.

Since it first opened in 1972, the Bank has expanded its operations and its branch network, first in Guam, then in the other islands of our region and in San Francisco, California. In the interests of enhancing performance and stability through market and industry diversification, the Bank has increased its focus on growth in the San Francisco area in recent years, adding personnel with experience and expertise in the Bay Area. The following table provides figures for gross loans in the Bank’s administrative regions for December 31, 2018 and 2019, and March 31, 2020:

The Freely Associated States (FAS) are comprised of the Federated States of Micronesia (Chuuk, Kosrae, Pohnpei and Yap), the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the Republic of Palau.

As the table indicates, the Bank’s total gross loans increased by 1.7% during the three months ended March 31, 2020. By way of comparison, loans in Guam increased by $12.6 million, or 1.8%, during the three months ended March 31, 2020. In the California region loans increased by $1.8% during the same period, as the California region provided continued support for the expansion of the Bank. The continuing recovery of the economy in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands allowed us to increase our lending there by $4.6 million, or 3.9% during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Loans in the Freely Associated States of Micronesia decreased by $1.7 million or 1.6%, during the same period.  

Interest-Earning Deposits and Investment Securities

In the current lending and interest rate environment, and in order to maintain sufficient liquidity in the ordinary course of business, the Bank held $122.2 million in unrestricted interest-earning deposits with financial institutions at March 31, 2020, an increase of $28.4 million, or 30.3%, from the $93.8 million in such deposits at December 31, 2019. From December 31, 2019, to March 31, 2020, the Bank’s combined investment portfolio increased by $6.7 million, or 1.6%, from $427.1 million to $433.8 million. The growth in the investment portfolio was comprised of a $7.6 million increase in our holdings of available-for-sale securities, which increased by 2.0%, from $377.1 million to $384.8 million, offset by a $909 thousand decrease in held-to-maturity securities, which fell by 1.8%, from $50.0 million to $49.1 million. Management believes that the Bank maintains an adequate level of liquidity.

Nonperforming Loans and Other Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming loans consist of (i) loans on non-accrual status because we have ceased accruing interest on these loans; (ii) loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest; and (iii) restructured loans. Other nonperforming assets consist of real estate properties (OREO) that have been acquired through foreclosure or similar means and which management intends to offer for sale. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the full and timely collection of principal or interest is in doubt. Generally, the accrual of interest is discontinued when principal or interest payment becomes 90 days past due, unless the loan is adequately collateralized and the loan is in the process of collection. When a loan is placed in non-accrual status, accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against current income. Subsequently, when payments are received on such loans, the amounts are applied to reduce principal, except when the ultimate collectability of principal is probable, in which case accrued loans may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest becomes current and full repayment is expected. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis for impaired loans not meeting the non-accrual criteria.

The following table contains information regarding our nonperforming assets as well as restructured loans as of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019:

The above table indicates that nonperforming loans increased by $1.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, which resulted partly from the increase in total loans past due 90 days and still accruing by $1.3 million, from $1.8 million to $3.1 million, supplemented by an increase in total non –accrual loans by $38 thousand during the same period. The increase in total loans past due 90 days and still accruing were due to the increases of $523 thousand in other consumer loans, $406 thousand in commercial and industrial loans, $220 thousand in automobile loans and $150 thousand in residential mortgage loans. The increase in total non-accrual loans was primarily due to the $357 thousand increase in commercial mortgage loans and $115 thousand in residential mortgage loans, offset by decreases of $337 thousand in commercial and industrial loans and $97 thousand in other loans.

40


At March 31, 2020, the Bank’s largest nonperforming loans are three commercial mortgage loans totaling $5.9 million from three relationships of $2.7 million, $1.7 million and $1.5 million respectively. These loans were placed on non-accrual due to deficiencies in the underlying cash flow to service the monthly loan payments and meet operating expenses. At this time, management believes that the collateral and the allocated allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover these loans; however, should property values deteriorate, additional write-downs or additional provisions may be necessary.

Analysis of Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses was $29.1 million, or 2.19% of outstanding gross loans, as of March 31, 2020, as compared to $27.9 million, or 2.13% of outstanding gross loans, at December 31, 2019. The allowance was $26.1 million at March 31, 2019, or 2.05% of gross loans.

Management maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb estimated credit losses associated with the loan portfolio. The adequacy of the allowance is determined by management through ongoing quarterly loan quality assessments.

Management assesses the estimated credit losses inherent in the non-classified and classified portions of our loan portfolio by considering a number of factors or elements including:

 

Management’s evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio;

 

Historical loss experience in the loan portfolio;

 

Levels of and trends in delinquency, classified assets, non-performing and impaired loans;

 

Effects of changes in underwriting standards and other changes in lending policies, procedures and practices;

 

Experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff;

 

Local, regional, and national trends and conditions, including industry-specific conditions;

 

The effect of changes in credit concentration; and

 

External factors such as competition, legal and regulatory conditions, as well as typhoons, pandemics such as COVID-19 and other natural disasters.

Management determines the allowance for the classified loan portfolio and for non-classified loans by applying a percentage loss estimate that is calculated based on the above noted factors and trends. Management normally writes down impaired loans after determining the loan collateral fair value versus the outstanding loan balance. Our analysis of the adequacy of the allowance incorporates the provisions made for our non-classified loans and classified loans.

While management believes it uses the best information available for calculating the allowance, the results of operation could be significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in determining the allowance. The current qualitative and quantitative factors used to calculate the allowance are inherently subjective. The estimates and assumptions are subject to changes in economic prospects and regulatory guidelines, and other circumstances over which management has no control. The allowance may prove in the future to be insufficient to cover all of the losses the Bank may incur and it may be necessary to increase the allowance from time to time as a result of monitoring its adequacy.

Management evaluates all impaired loans not less frequently than quarterly in conjunction with our calculation and determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

The Bank has two significant borrowing relationships in bankruptcy. The Bank has calculated a specific reserve within the allowance for one of the borrowing relationships in bankruptcy in the amounts of $4.2 million, and has sufficient collateral for the other borrowing relationship. The Bank’s management believes at March 31, 2020, there is sufficient coverage to protect the Bank’s exposure to both relationships.

 

Total Cash and Cash Equivalents

Total cash and cash equivalents were $155.3 million and $131.7 million at March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively. This balance, which is comprised of cash and due from bank balances and interest-bearing deposits that we maintain at other financial institutions (including the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, but excepting restricted cash), will vary depending on daily cash settlement activities, the amount of highly liquid assets needed based on known events such as the repayment of borrowings and scheduled withdrawals, and actual cash on hand in the Bank’s branches.

Investment Securities

The Bank manages its securities portfolio to provide a source of both liquidity and earnings. The Bank has an Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) that develops and recommends current investment policies to the Board of Directors based on its operating needs and market circumstances. The Bank’s overall investment policy is formally reviewed and approved annually by the Board of Directors, and the Asset/Liability Committee is responsible for monitoring and reporting compliance with the investment policy. Investment portfolio reports are provided to the Board of Directors on a monthly basis.

43


At March 31, 2020, the carrying value of the investment securities portfolio (excluding ASC Trust LLC stock and Federal Home Loan Bank stock) totaled $433.8 million, which represents a $6.7 million increase from the portfolio balance of $427.1 million at December 31, 2019.

The Company does not believe that any of the investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2020, which included a total of 68 securities, were other-than-temporarily impaired. Specifically, the 68 securities are comprised of the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Pool securities.

Total gross unrealized losses were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates relative to when the investment securities were purchased, and not due to changes in the credit quality of the investment securities. The Bank does not intend to sell the investment securities that are in an unrealized loss position and it is not likely that, except as needed to fund our liquidity position, the Bank will be required to sell the investment securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity.

Deposits

At March 31, 2020, total deposit liabilities increased by $30.8 million from the approximately $1.73 billion at December 31, 2019. Interest-bearing deposits increased by $50.7 million, to $1.20 billion at March 31, 2020, compared to $1.15 billion at December 31, 2019, while non-interest bearing deposits decreased by $19.9 million, to $563.1 million at March 31, 2020, from $583.0 million at December 31, 2019. The 1.78% increase in total deposits was due to normal fluctuations in our deposit base.

As mentioned earlier, the Bank has expanded its operations and its branch network since it first opened in 1972, first in Guam, then in the other islands of our region and in San Francisco, California. As time has passed, the Bank has gathered market share in each of the islands. In recent years, in order to diversify its geographic market, the Bank has increased its focus on growth in the California region. The following table provides figures for deposits in the Bank’s administrative regions at March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019:

The Freely Associated States (FAS) are comprised of the Federated States of Micronesia (Chuuk, Kosrae, Pohnpei and Yap), the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the Republic of Palau.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Bank’s deposits increased by $30.8 million (1.78%) to $1.76 billion compared to December 31, 2019.  Our branches in Guam experienced an increase of $41.2 million in deposits during the three months ended March 31, 2020, while the deposits in our branches in the CNMI were reduced by $9.8 million. Deposits in our FAS branches decreased by $492 thousand and our California region deposits decreased by $171 thousand during the same time period. The Bank is anticipating a large increase in deposits from the COVID-19 federal relief programs, primarily in Guam and CNMI in the coming months.

Borrowed Funds

The Bank has a variety of sources from which it may obtain secondary funding. These sources include, among others, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines, and credit lines established with our correspondent banks. Borrowings are obtained for a variety of reasons which include, but are not limited to, funding loan growth, the purchase of investments in the absence of core deposits, and to provide additional liquidity to meet the demands of depositors.

On June 27, 2019, the Company issued $15.0 million of its 6.35% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes, due June 30, 2029. The Notes are intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes for the Company. The Notes have a ten-year term and initially bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 6.35%. Beginning June 30, 2024, the interest rate will reset quarterly to the then-current three-month LIBOR plus 466 basis points. On July 1, 2019, with the approval of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, the Company used $4.1 million of the proceeds from the Notes to acquire an additional 20% of the stock of ASC Trust LLC, formerly ASC Trust Corporation, at the second closing pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated May 27, 2016, between the Company and David J. John, as amended to date.  On July 5, 2019, $10.0 million of the balance of the proceeds from the Notes was also used to purchase ten (10) shares of Series B Common Stock from the Bank, with a par value of $1.0 million per share, to support the Bank’s strategic growth.

At March 31, 2020, and at December 31, 2019, the Company had no short-term borrowings.

Liquidity

We actively manage our liquidity to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet our needs for cash, including cash needed to fund new loans and to accommodate deposit withdrawals and other transactions by our customers. We project future sources and uses of funds, and maintain additional liquid funds for unanticipated events. Our primary sources of cash include cash we have in deposits at other financial institutions, the repayment of loans, proceeds from the sale or maturity of investment securities, and increases in deposits. The primary uses of cash include funding new loans and making advances on existing lines of credit, purchasing investments, funding new residential mortgage loans, funding deposit withdrawals, and paying operating expenses. From time to time, we may maintain funds in overnight Federal Funds and other short-term investments to provide for short-term liquidity needs. We also have established, for contingency funding purposes, credit lines with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, the Federal Home Loan Bank-Seattle, and correspondent commercial banks in the U.S. We believe that our liquid assets, together with our available credit lines, will be sufficient to meet normal operating requirements for at least the next twelve months, including to enable us to meet any increase in withdrawals from depository accounts that might occur in the foreseeable future.

At March 31, 2020, our liquid assets, which include cash and due from banks, interest-earning deposits with financial institutions (excluding restricted cash), and investment securities available-for-sale totaled $540.1 million, up $31.3 million from $508.8 million at December 31, 2019. This increase is comprised of increases of $28.4 million in interest bearing deposits in banks, and $7.6 million in investment securities available-for-sale, offset by a $4.8 million decrease in cash and due from banks.

Management believes we have sufficient cash to meet the demands of the distribution of funds under the CARES Act. However, we will monitor our vault cash on a daily basis, and if the need arises we will acquire additional cash by drawing down our deposits with other financial institutions.  

Contractual Obligations

The Bank utilizes facilities, equipment and land under various operating leases with terms, including renewal options, ranging from 1 to 99 years.

The Bank leases certain facilities from two separate entities in which two of its directors have separate ownership interests. Lease payments made to these entities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, approximated $59 thousand and $58 thousand, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2019, lease payments made to these entities approximated $354 thousand.

Additionally, the Bank leases office space to third parties, with original lease terms ranging from 1 to 3 years with option periods ranging up to 12 years. At March 31, 2020, minimum future rents to be received under non-cancelable operating sublease agreements were $34 thousand and $8 thousand for the periods ending December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Bank is a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss, in the event of nonperformance by the other parties to financial instruments for loan commitments and letters of credit, is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Bank follows essentially the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

A summary of financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk at March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, is as follows:

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. The commitments for certain lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

Commercial and standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party or the shipment of merchandise from a third party. Those letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. Almost all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is effectively the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank generally holds collateral supporting those commitments.

The Bank considers its standby and commercial letters of credit to be guarantees. At March 31, 2020, the maximum undiscounted future payments that the Bank could be required to make was $59.0 million. Almost all of these arrangements mature within one year. The Bank generally has recourse to recover from the customer any amounts paid under these guarantees. Most of the guarantees are fully collateralized; however, several that are extended to the Bank’s most creditworthy customers are unsecured. The Bank has recorded $36 thousand in reserve liabilities associated with commitments to extend credit and letters of credit at March 31, 2020.

Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The unpaid principal balances of mortgage loans serviced for others were $186.4 million and $189.5 million at March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively. At March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Bank recorded mortgage servicing rights each at their fair value of $1.7 million, respectively.

Capital Resources

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the United States federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet or exceed specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.

49


Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital and Common Equity Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of March 31, 2020, the Bank’s capital ratios each exceeded the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s well capitalized standards under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There have been no conditions or events since the most recent FDIC notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

 

The Company’s required and actual capital amounts and ratios as of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, were as follows:

Since the formation of BankGuam Holding Company in 2011, our assets have grown by 80.7% ($890.2 million), while our stockholders’ equity has grown by 92.9% (82.4 million, including $59.7 million in retained earnings). The growth in equity has helped to increase our capital ratios, and those ratios remain well above the well capitalized standards. During the fourth quarter of 2017 and the first quarter of 2018, the Company issued an additional $4.2 million in common stock in an SEC-registered public offering at a purchase price of $12.25 per common share.

 

The Bank anticipates a large influx of deposits from federal relief programs due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and understands the adverse impact it will have on its Tier 1 capital (to average assets). Management believes that the Bank has the capacity to absorb the growth in total assets, and the tools needed to move deposits off-balance through its Trust services to continue to be above the well capitalized standards under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

Stock Purchase Plan

The Company’s 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2011 Plan”) was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors and approved by the Company’s Stockholders on May 2, 2011, to replace the Company’s 2001 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan. This plan was subsequently adopted by the Company after the reorganization. The 2011 Plan is open to all employees of the Company and its subsidiaries who have met certain eligibility requirements.

Under the 2011 Plan, as amended and restated as of July 1, 2012, eligible employees can purchase, through payroll deductions, shares of common stock at a discount. The right to purchase stock is granted to eligible employees during a quarterly offer period that is established from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company. Eligible employees cannot accrue the right to purchase more than $25 thousand worth of stock at the fair market value at the beginning of each offer period. Eligible employees also may not purchase more than one thousand five hundred (1,500) shares of stock in any one offer period. The shares are purchased at 85% of the fair market price of the stock on the enrollment date.

Contingency Planning and Cybersecurity

The Bank has developed a comprehensive business continuity plan to manage disruptions that affect customers or internal processes, whether caused by man-made or natural events. In modern banking, technology has taken on an increasingly important role, and the Bank also has a technology recovery component incorporated into the business continuity plan that provides procedures for recovering from a technology failure. The technology recovery procedures are tested and implemented from time to time. The recovery time objectives for the Bank’s major technological processes range from eight hours to 80 hours, with the goal of enabling the Bank to maintain or resume operations with a minimum impact on its customers. As the results of testing are analyzed and as technology continues to advance, improvements are made in the Bank’s processes and procedures as the plan evolves, although there can be no assurance that business disruption or operational losses will not occur.

The rapid advances in computing and telecommunications technology over the past several decades have brought with them increasingly sophisticated methods of delivering financial services through electronic channels. Along with these advances, though, have come risks regarding the integrity and privacy of data, and these risks apply to banking, falling into the general classification of cybersecurity. The Bank has made substantial investments in multiple systems to ensure both the integrity of its data and the protection of the privacy of its customers’ personal financial and identity information. While it is not possible for anyone to give an absolute guarantee that data will not be compromised, the Bank strives to provide a reasonable assurance that the financial and personal data that it holds are secure.

 

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, in connection with the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2020. Based on the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s Rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There are no material changes from the risk factors set forth under Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, except as described below.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and measures intended to prevent its spread could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, and such effects will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict.

Global health concerns relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and related government actions taken to reduce the spread of the virus have impacted the macroeconomic environment, significantly increased economic uncertainty and reduced economic activity. Our business and earnings are closely tied to the economies of Guam, San Francisco, CNMI, FSM, RMI and ROP. These local economies rely heavily on tourism, real estate, construction, and other service-based industries. Lower visitor arrivals or spending, real or threatened acts of war or terrorism, public health issues and the spread of the COVID-19 virus may impact consumer and corporate spending. The impacts of the various travel restrictions, stay-at-home orders and quarantine requirements for visitors to Guam has had a dramatic impact on tourism. These events have contributed to a significant deterioration in general economic conditions in our markets which will adversely impact us and our customers’ operations. It is uncertain how long these conditions will last or how significant the impacts will be.

We have modified our business practices and operations as a result of the spread of COVID-19, including providing loan payment deferrals and adjustments to our commercial and consumer customers. Many of our employees are working from home. These measures could impair our ability to perform critical functions and may adversely impact our results of operations.

Federal, state, local and foreign governmental authorities have enacted, and may enact in the future, legislation, regulations and protocols in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including governmental programs intended to provide economic relief to businesses and individuals. Our participation in and execution of any such programs may cause operational, compliance, reputational and credit risks, which could result in litigation, governmental action or other forms of loss. The extent of these impacts, which may be substantial, will depend on the degree of our participation in these programs. There remains significant uncertainty regarding the measures that authorities will enact in the future and the ultimate impact of the legislation, regulations and protocols that have been and will be enacted.

The COVID-19 pandemic is creating extensive disruptions to the global economy and the lives of individuals throughout the world. While the scope, duration and full effects of the pandemic are rapidly evolving and not fully known, the pandemic and related efforts to contain it have disrupted global economic activity, adversely affected the functioning of financial markets, impacted interest rates, increased economic and market uncertainty and disrupted trade and supply chains. If these effects continue for a prolonged period or result in sustained economic stress or recession, many of the risk factors identified in our Form 10-K could be exacerbated and such effects could have a material adverse impact on us in a number of ways related to credit, collateral, capital, customer demand, funding, liquidity, operations, interest rate risk, and human capital.
