Recent Questions & Answers

How Much of Baker Boyer's recent loan growth is organic versus purchases or participated loans?

Almost all of our loan growth is organic and comes from clients in our own markets. Of roughly 400 million dollars in total loans, about 18 million dollars are participations we have purchased from other banks and about 12 million dollars are loans where we sold participations to others because they were above our internal lending limits. On a net basis, that means only about 1 to 1.5 percent of our portfolio reflects participations. The rest comes from lending directly to clients in the communities we serve.  - Mark Kajita

Why is capital stability and growth so important to the Bank and to loan growth?

Capital is the foundation that supports the risk a bank takes, particularly in lending. Loans are riskier than holding cash or U.S. Treasuries, so as we have grown loans by about 38 percent since January 1, 2020, regulators expect us to maintain appropriate capital to support that risk. The primary way we grow capital is by retaining a portion of our net income rather than paying it all out in dividends. When we chose to reduce the dividend, it was to preserve and build capital so we could continue to grow high-quality loans and strengthen the long-term earning power of the Bank. - Mark Kajita

Why have Baker Boyer shares lost value and what is the long-term plan to address this?

Our stock is very thinly traded, so a small number of trades in any given month can set the market price. Market participants tend to value the shares using the dividend as an income stream, often assuming it will remain flat and discounting it back like an annuity. Inside the company, we take a longer view. We have intentionally kept dividends lower in the near term in order to build capital, invest in markets such as Yakima, and expand our D.S. Baker Advisor client base. Those investments are already showing results in profitable new client relationships and net growth in accounts. While we cannot predict future share prices, our focus is on strengthening long-term earnings and franchise value, which we believe benefits shareholders over time. - Mark Kajita
