Jared Wolff, President & CEO of Banc of California, commented, “We delivered another quarter of solid operating performance which is a good representation of our strong commercial banking franchise: well diversified, robust loan production funded with a low-cost deposit base; disciplined expense control; and solid asset quality in our conservatively underwritten, well secured loan portfolio. We capitalized on the resilient economic conditions and loan demand we are experiencing in California to generate $1.2 billion in loan fundings during the second quarter, which was the highest level of fundings in over 3 years.”

Mr. Wolff continued, “Although interest rates have increased, our loan pipeline remains strong, which should result in continued loan growth in the second half of the year, as well as further expansion of our operating leverage. We believe that our asset sensitive balance sheet will benefit from the rising rate environment and position us to continue delivering strong financial results for the benefit of shareholders.”

Lynn Hopkins, Chief Financial Officer of Banc of California, said, “During the second quarter, our net interest margin increased seven basis points. We believe our current loan pipeline reflects the higher interest rate environment, which should lead to additional expansion in our net interest margin going forward, providing us with another catalyst for driving further increases in earnings per share and our level of returns.”

Net interest income

Q2-2022 vs Q1-2022

Net interest income increased $1.9 million to $78.3 million for the second quarter due to higher yield on interest-earning assets, offset by lower average interest-earning assets and higher average interest-bearing liabilities balances and costs.

The net interest margin increased 7 basis points to 3.58% for the second quarter as the average interest-earning assets yield increased 17 basis points and the cost of average total funding increased 10 basis points. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased to 4.04% for the second quarter from 3.87% for the first quarter due to the mix of interest-earning assets and higher yields on loan and securities. The average yield on loans increased 9 basis points to 4.35% during the second quarter as a result of the portfolio mix and the impact of higher market interest rates. The loan yield includes the impact of prepayment penalty fees, the net reversal or recapture of nonaccrual loan interest, accelerated discount accretion on the early payoff of purchased loans, and accelerated fees from PPP loan forgiveness; these items increased the loan yield by 10 basis points in both the second quarter and prior quarter.

The average cost of funds increased 10 basis points to 0.49% for the second quarter from 0.39% for the first quarter. This increase was driven by the higher average cost of interest-bearing deposits. Average noninterest-bearing deposits represented 38% of total average deposits for both the second quarter and the first quarter. Average noninterest-bearing deposits were $9.2 million higher in the second quarter compared to the first quarter while average deposits were $11.8 million higher for the linked quarters. Average Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances and other borrowings increased $27.1 million. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 16 basis points to 0.74% for the second quarter from 0.58% for the first quarter due to higher cost of interest-bearing deposits. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 16 basis points to 0.28% for the second quarter from 0.12% for the first quarter. The average cost of total deposits increased 9 basis points to 0.17% for the second quarter due mostly to higher market interest rates. The spot rate of total deposits was 0.21% at the end of the second quarter.

YTD 2022 vs YTD 2021

Net interest income increased $37.0 million to $154.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to higher average balances and yield on interest-earning assets, higher average balances and lower costs of interest-bearing liabilities.

The net interest margin increased 32 basis points to 3.55% as the average earning-assets yield increased 16 basis points and the average cost of total funding decreased 16 basis points. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased to 3.96% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from 3.80% for 2021 due mostly to the mix of interest-earning assets and higher market interest rates. Average loans represented 82.6% of average earnings assets in 2022 compared to 78.6% for the same period in 2021 Average loans increased by $1.49 billion from ongoing loan growth, including the acquisition of Pacific Mercantile Bancorp (PMB) in the fourth quarter of 2021.

The yield on average investment securities and other interest-earning assets increased 34 basis points and 47 basis points, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021.

The average cost of funds decreased 16 basis points to 0.44% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from 0.60% for 2021. This decrease was driven by the lower average cost of interest-bearing liabilities and the overall improved funding mix, including higher average noninterest-bearing deposits as a result of growth from business development efforts and the acquisition of PMB. Average noninterest-bearing deposits represented 38% of total average deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 28% for the same period in 2021. Average noninterest-bearing deposits were $1.09 billion higher during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 while average total deposits were $1.20 billion higher. Average FHLB advances and other borrowings increased $146.5 million due mostly to higher overnight borrowings offset by lower term advances. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 14 basis points to 0.66% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. This included a 15 basis points decline in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits to 0.20% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 0.35% for the same period in 2021. The average cost of total deposits decreased 13 basis points to 0.12% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

YTD 2022 vs YTD 2021

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the provision for credit losses was a reversal of $31.5 million, compared to a reversal of $3.3 million during 2021.

Noninterest income

Q2-2022 vs Q1-2022

Noninterest income increased $1.3 million to $7.2 million for the second quarter compared to the prior quarter due mostly to higher other income. All other income increased $1.2 million due to higher income from equity investments of $2.1 million, partially offset by a fair value write-down of $455 thousand recorded on loans held for sale and the first quarter including a $771 thousand gain related to a sale-leaseback transaction; there were no sale-leaseback transactions in the second quarter. Gains or losses from equity investments are recorded based on the most recent information available from the investee and fluctuates based on their underlying performance.

YTD 2022 vs YTD 2021

Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $4.8 million to $13.1 million compared to 2021. The increase in noninterest income reflected a full six months of activity from the acquisition of PMB and was mainly due to higher customer service fees, income from bank-owned life insurance, and all other income. Customer services fees increased $1.3 million due mostly to higher deposit activity fees of $1.8 million attributed to higher average deposit balances, offset by lower loan fees of $594 thousand. Income from bank-owned life insurance increased $244 thousand due to higher average balances. The $3.3 million increase in all other income is due mostly to higher income from equity investments of $2.4 million and a $771 thousand gain related to a sale-leaseback transaction during the first quarter of 2022.

Noninterest expense

Q2-2022 vs Q1-2022

Noninterest expense increased $2.0 million to $48.6 million for the second quarter compared to the first quarter. The increase was due mostly to (i) higher professional fees of $1.2 million, due mostly to higher legal fees and (ii) higher net loss in alternative energy partnership investments of $885 thousand, offset by a decrease in salaries and employee benefits of $723 thousand attributed to higher payroll-related items typical of the first quarter. Professional fees included net indemnified legal expenses of $455 thousand in the second quarter compared to net recoveries of $106 thousand during the first quarter.

Total operating costs, defined as noninterest expense adjusted for certain expense items (refer to section Non-GAAP Measures), increased $570 thousand to $47.1 million for the second quarter compared to $46.5 million for the prior quarter. This increase is due mostly to higher professional fees of $639 thousand and all other expenses of $580 thousand due mostly to loan-related expenses, offset by lower salaries and benefits of $723 thousand as the higher payroll-related items typical of the first quarter were lower in the second quarter.

YTD 2022 vs YTD 2021

Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $8.2 million to $95.2 million compared to the prior year. The increase was primarily due to: (i) higher salaries and employee benefits of $6.5 million and occupancy and equipment of $1.3 million due to the increases in personnel and facilities from the acquisition of PMB, (ii) higher professional fees of $1.2 million, due mostly to a $1.9 million increase in legal fees, net of insurance recoveries, offset by a $619 thousand decrease in other professional fees and (iii) higher all other expenses of $2.2 million due to including the operations of PMB. These increases were partially offset by: (i) higher reversal of loan repurchase reserves of $730 thousand, (ii) lower merger-related costs of $1.4 million and (iii) lower loss in alternative energy partnership investments of $1.6 million.

Income taxes

Q2-2022 vs Q1-2022

Income tax expense totaled $10.2 million for the second quarter resulting in an effective tax rate of 27.6% compared to $18.8 million for the first quarter and an effective tax rate of 27.9%.

Represents the amounts, at acquisition date, of expected credit losses on PCD loans and expected recoveries of PCD loans charged-off prior to acquisition date that we have a contractual right to receive.

The allowance for expected credit losses (ACL), which includes the reserve for unfunded loan commitments, totaled $99.7 million, or 1.34% of total loans, at June 30, 2022, compared to $98.6 million, or 1.32% of total loans, at March 31, 2022. The $1.1 million increase in the ACL was due primarily to: (i) net recoveries of $1.1 million, (ii) higher specific reserves of $484 thousand, and (iii) higher reserve for unfunded commitments of $500 thousand, offset by lower general loan reserves of $1.0 million. The ACL coverage of non-performing loans was 224% at June 30, 2022 compared to 181% at March 31, 2022.

The ACL methodology uses a nationally recognized, third-party model that includes many assumptions based on historical and peer loss data, current loan portfolio risk profile including risk ratings, and economic forecasts including macroeconomic variables released by the model provider during June 2022. The published forecasts consider rising inflation, higher oil prices, ongoing supply chain issues and the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, among other factors.

Non-GAAP Measures
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)

Under Item 10(e) of SEC Regulation S-K, public companies disclosing financial measures in filings with the SEC that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP must also disclose, along with each non-GAAP financial measure, certain additional information, including a presentation of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as a statement of the reasons why the company's management believes that presentation of the non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the company's financial condition and results of operations and, to the extent material, a statement of the additional purposes, if any, for which the company's management uses the non-GAAP financial measure.

Tangible assets, tangible equity, tangible common equity, tangible equity to tangible assets, tangible common equity to tangible assets, tangible common equity per share, return on average tangible common equity, adjusted noninterest expense, adjusted noninterest expense to average total assets, pre-tax pre-provision (PTPP) income (loss), adjusted PTPP income (loss), PTPP income (loss) ROAA, adjusted PTPP income (loss) ROAA, efficiency ratio, adjusted efficiency ratio, adjusted net income, adjusted net income available to common stockholders, adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) and adjusted return on average assets (ROAA) constitute supplemental financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are used by management in its analysis of the Company's performance.

Tangible assets and tangible equity are calculated by subtracting goodwill and other intangible assets from total assets and total equity. Tangible common equity is calculated by subtracting preferred stock from tangible equity. Return on average tangible common equity is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders, after adjustment for amortization of intangible assets, by average tangible common equity. Banking regulators also exclude goodwill and other intangible assets from stockholders' equity when assessing the capital adequacy of a financial institution.

PTPP income is calculated by adding net interest income and noninterest income (total revenue) and subtracting noninterest expense. Adjusted PTPP income is calculated by adding total revenue and subtracting adjusted noninterest expense. PTPP income ROAA is computed by dividing annualized PTPP income by average assets. Adjusted PTPP income ROAA is computed by dividing annualized adjusted PTPP income by average assets. Efficiency ratio is computed by dividing noninterest expense by total revenue. Adjusted efficiency ratio is computed by dividing adjusted noninterest expense by total revenue.

Adjusted net income (loss) is calculated by adjusting net income (loss) for tax-effected noninterest expense adjustments and the tax impact from the exercise of stock appreciation rights for the periods indicated. Adjusted ROAA is computed by dividing annualized adjusted net income by average assets. Adjusted net income (loss) available to common stockholders is computed by removing the impact of preferred stock redemptions from adjusted net income (loss). Adjusted diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing adjusted net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding.

Management believes the presentation of these financial measures adjusting the impact of these items provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the financial results and operating performance of the Company. This disclosure should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

The following tables provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures with financial measures defined by GAAP.
