Moving Forward 

These tough times 

showcased our resilience 

and brought out the best of 

PCB, prompting us to 

actively seek and identify 

new opportunities.    

Growing with Our Customers 
and Communities

Dear Shareholders: 

We  are  pleased  to  share  with  you  how  we  successfully 

operated to benefit our customers, employees, shareholders, 

and  the  communities  we  serve  with  emphasis  on  keeping 

everyone’s  health  safe,  while  achieving  record  financial 

performance during the past year. During the past two years 

of  global  pandemic,  we  drastically  enhanced  our  ability  to 

work  with  more  flexibility,  forged  stronger  bonds  amongst 

co-workers  and  with  our  valued  customers.  These  tough 

times  showcased  our  resilience  and  brought  out  the  best 

of  PCB,  prompting  us  to  actively  seek  and  identify  new 

opportunities.        

In 2021, our strength was displayed in various forms as we 

continued  to  deliver  unmatched  services  to  our  customers.

We will continue to make smart  
investments in technology to enhance
digital banking and cyber-security,
expand our branch network, and retain
and hire talented professionals.

we drastically enhanced our 

ability to work with more 

flexibility, forged stronger bonds 

amongst co-workers and with 

our valued customers. 

Henry Kim President & Chief Executive Officer

In  addition  to  providing  the  convenience  of  digital 

banking,  we  also  earnestly  accommodated  our 

customers who preferred face-to-face meetings through 

our  branch  network  and  even  on-site  client  visits  by 

our  dedicated  professionals.  As  the  pandemic-related 

shutdowns  declined,  and  consumer  and  business 

sentiment  gradually  improved  during  the  year,  we 

experienced  an  increase  in  business  activity  that 

resulted in more deposit inflows and an increase in loan 

demands. Regarding our credit costs, our conservative 

and  vigilance  in  overall  credit  monitoring  at  the  peak 

of  global  pandemic  in  2020  has  provided  us  with  an 

opportunity to release $4.6 million in provision for loan 

losses  during  2021  as  the  economic  outlook  improved 

and  our  credit  quality  maintained  a  historically  low 

problem loans.

In  all  aspects  of  financial  performance,  2021  was  a 

tremendous  year.  Even  with  a  global  pandemic  on  our 

backdrop,  we  earned  a  record  $40.1  million,  or  $2.62 

per diluted share, and our return on assets was 1.96%. 

We increased total assets by $226.9 million, or 11.8%, to 

$2,149.7 million and grew our deposits by $272.3 million, 

or 17.1%, to $1,867.1 million, and our net loan portfolio 

increased by $152.8 million, or 9.8%, to $1,709.8 million.  

For the year, our stock price increased by 117%, and we 

increased our quarterly cash dividend by 20%.  Including 

the share repurchase, we returned $17.5 million in capital 

back  to  our  shareholders  in  2021.  Despite  such  a 

significant  capital  return 

to  our  shareholders,  we 

maintained  an  extremely  strong  capital  position  with  a 

total-capital-ratio of 16.04% at 2021 year-end.

Additionally,  compared  to  the  2020  year-end  figure, 

our book value increased by 13.5% to $17.24 at 2021 

year-end compared with 2020 year-end.

As  we  head  into  2022,  our  top  priority  is  disciplined 

growth.    We  will  continue  to  make  smart  investments 

in  technology  to  enhance  digital  banking  and  cyber-

security,  expand  our  branch  network,  and  retain  and 

hire  talented  professionals.  As  we  move  forward 

to  the  post-pandemic  “new  normal,”  we  are  well-

positioned  to  deliver  unmatched  growth  and  benefit 

to our shareholders for the next several years.       

We  are  delighted  by  our  accomplishments,  and  our
