California BanCorp reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2026, revealing a net income of $14.3 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, compared to $14.1 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, in the same quarter of the previous year. For the first half of 2026, net income totaled $28.1 million, down from $31.0 million in the first half of 2025. The decrease in profitability was attributed to a $4.7 million increase in the provision for credit losses and a $1.7 million decline in noninterest income, despite a $1.8 million rise in net interest income.
Total assets as of June 30, 2026, were $4.03 billion, a slight decrease from $4.03 billion at the end of 2025. The decline was primarily due to a $135 million drop in cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by a $73.9 million increase in available-for-sale debt securities and a $51.6 million rise in loans. Total liabilities decreased to $3.44 billion, driven by an $11.5 million reduction in total deposits. Shareholders' equity increased to $586.6 million, reflecting net income and stock-based compensation activity, despite unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities and stock repurchases.
In terms of operational metrics, the bank's loan portfolio increased to $3.09 billion, with commercial real estate loans comprising 61.6% of total loans. The allowance for loan losses stood at $34.9 million, representing 1.13% of total loans held for investment. The bank's nonperforming loans decreased to $8.9 million, or 0.29% of total loans, down from $16.1 million, or 0.53%, at the end of 2025. The bank's efficiency ratio improved to 54.2%, compared to 56.1% in the same quarter last year, indicating better cost management.
Strategically, California BanCorp has been focusing on maintaining a strong capital position, with a total risk-based capital ratio of 15.00% as of June 30, 2026, exceeding regulatory requirements. The bank has also been active in its share repurchase program, repurchasing 102,594 shares at a total cost of $2 million during the quarter. Looking ahead, the bank remains cautious amid economic uncertainties, particularly regarding inflation and interest rate risks, while continuing to monitor its loan portfolio and credit quality closely.
