SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Banc of California, Inc.

This compares to net income and net income available to common stockholders of $26.7 million, or $0.43 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2022. The third quarter includes pre-tax transaction costs of $2.1 million related to the Deepstack acquisition.

Third quarter highlights:

• Acquisition of Deepstack Technologies completed on September 15, 2022
• Adjusted diluted EPS of $0.44
• Return on average assets of 1.02%
• Adjusted return on average assets of 1.13%
• Pre-tax pre-provision return on average assets of 1.44%
• Adjusted pre-tax pre-provision return on average assets of 1.59%

• Repurchased $13.0 million of common stock during the quarter and $63.7 million cumulatively this year through October 18

Jared Wolff, President & CEO of Banc of California, commented, “During the third quarter, we executed further on the areas that drive franchise value. Our stable noninterest-bearing deposit base continued to expand, as noninterest-bearing deposits grew $117.0 million hitting 40% of total deposits at the end of the quarter. Our margin held up, even as we locked in some longer-term fixed-rate funding, and core loan growth outside of warehouse continued at a double digit annualized pace. Our core earnings power remained consistent in a challenging operating environment and we expect our asset sensitivity to support earnings growth going forward.”

Mr. Wolff continued, “While we continued to deliver strong financial results for shareholders in the third quarter, we also took another significant step in building long-term franchise value with our acquisition of Deepstack Technologies and entry into the payments processing business. Our payments business adds a high value solution that will further enhance the banking experience we provide to clients, and as we scale this business over the next few years, we expect it to become a consistent source of high margin fee income and noninterest-bearing deposits that will be another catalyst for generating consistent and profitable growth.”

Lynn Hopkins, Chief Financial Officer of Banc of California, said, “During the third quarter, our net interest margin remained constant as we managed changes in the mix of earning assets, including lower warehouse balances, and the mix of funding sources as we strategically replaced certain higher costing deposits with longer-term fixed-rate funding. We believe our longer-term fixed-rate funding and noninterest-bearing deposits growth will improve our ability to manage our funding costs and expand our margin as we expect to see rising interest rates. In an operating environment that makes it challenging for banks to grow tangible book value, excluding our use of capital from the acquisition of Deepstack, we have protected and grown our tangible book value while also repurchasing 5% of our common shares this year. We also saw positive trends in credit quality with declines in non-performing loans and non-performing assets.”

Acquisition of Deepstack Technologies

On September 15, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of the payments platform and technology of Global Payroll Gateway, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Deepstack Technologies, LLC (collectively, "Deepstack") for $24 million in cash and stock. Deepstack is a differentiated software-led and e-commerce payments platform that provides clients with payment solutions, including merchant processing, payments acceptance and disbursements, tokenization, virtual accounts, fraud protection tools, chargeback management, and reconciliation and reporting services. Deepstack advances Banc of California's goal to be the hub of the financial services ecosystem for clients while creating another driver of profitable long-term growth and franchise value including:

• Scalable, meaningful fee-based income
• New clients in verticals attractive to Banc of California
• New source of noninterest-bearing deposits

The Deepstack acquisition is accounted for as a business combination under U.S. GAAP and initial estimates of the fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired are reflected in the Company's balance sheet as of September 30, 2022.

Net interest income

Q3-2022 vs Q2-2022

Net interest income increased $1.1 million to $79.4 million for the third quarter due to higher average balances and yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by higher average balances and costs on interest-bearing liabilities.

The net interest margin remained unchanged at 3.58% for the third quarter as the average interest-earning assets yield increased 29 basis points and the cost of average total funding increased 30 basis points. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased to 4.33% for the third quarter from 4.04% for the second quarter due to the mix of interest-earning assets and higher yields on loans, securities and other interest-earning assets. The overall loan yield increased 19 basis points to 4.54% during the third quarter as a result of the portfolio mix and the impact of higher market interest rates. The loan yields include the impact of prepayment penalty fees, the net reversal or recapture of nonaccrual loan interest and accelerated discount accretion on the early payoff of purchased loans; these items increased the overall loan yield by 6 basis points in the third quarter, compared to 10 basis points in the prior quarter.

The average cost of funds increased 30 basis points to 0.79% for the third quarter from 0.49% for the second quarter. This increase was driven by the higher cost of average interest-bearing liabilities, which increased 46 basis points to 1.20% for the third quarter from 0.74% for the second quarter. The cost of average interest-bearing deposits increased 49 basis points to 0.77% for the third quarter from 0.28% for the second quarter while the cost of average FHLB advances increased 35 basis points to 2.92% for the third quarter from 2.57% for the second quarter. The increases in the cost of these funding sources were mostly a result of higher market interest rates.

Average noninterest-bearing deposits were $50.3 million higher in the third quarter compared to the second quarter while average deposits were $111.0 million higher for the linked quarters. Average noninterest-bearing deposits represented 38% of total average deposits for both the third quarter and the second quarter. The cost of total average deposits increased 30 basis points to 0.47% for the third quarter. The spot rate of total deposits was 0.56% at the end of the third quarter.

YTD 2022 vs YTD 2021

Net interest income increased $53.4 million to $234.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to higher average balances and yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by higher average balances and costs of interest-bearing liabilities. Interest income increased $58.6 million and interest expense increased $5.2 million as average earning assets increased $1.36 billion and average funding sources increased $1.29 billion due largely to the impact of the acquisition of Pacific Mercantile Bancorp (PMB) in the fourth quarter of 2021.

The net interest margin increased 31 basis points to 3.56% as the average earning-assets yield increased 31 basis points and the average cost of total funding remained unchanged between periods. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased to 4.08% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, from 3.77% for 2021 due mostly to the mix of interest-earning assets and higher market interest rates. Average loans represented 83% of average earnings assets in 2022 compared to 79% for the same period in 2021. Average loans increased by $1.41 billion from ongoing loan growth and the impact of the PMB acquisition. The yield on average loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 4.38% compared to 4.26% for the same period in 2021. The yield on average investment securities and other interest-earning assets increased 65 basis points and 83 basis points, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021.

The average cost of funds was 0.56% for both the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 despite a rising rate environment during the current year. The increase in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities was offset by the overall improved funding mix, including higher average noninterest-bearing deposits as a result of growth from business development efforts and the impact of the acquisition of PMB. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased 9 basis points to 0.84% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 and included an 8 basis points increase in the cost of average interest-bearing deposits to 0.39%.

Average noninterest-bearing deposits represented 38% of total average deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 29% for the same period in 2021. Average noninterest-bearing deposits were $1.03 billion higher for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 while average total deposits were $1.18 billion higher. The average cost of total deposits increased 2 basis points to 0.24% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.

Provision for credit losses

Q3-2022 vs Q2-2022

There was no provision for credit losses for both the third quarter and the second quarter as the benefits of the continuing favorable credit quality performance in the loan portfolio combined with a decrease in total loan balances offset the estimated allowance resulting from changes in the portfolio mix and our reasonable and supportable forecast, primarily related to the economic outlook from the Federal Reserve's actions to control inflation.

YTD 2022 vs YTD 2021

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the provision for credit losses was a reversal of $31.5 million, compared to a reversal of $4.4 million during 2021. The higher reversal of credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was due to a $31.3 million recovery from the settlement of a loan previously charged-off in 2019.

Noninterest income

Q3-2022 vs Q2-2022

Noninterest income decreased $1.5 million to $5.7 million for the third quarter compared to the prior quarter primarily due to lower all other income of $2.0 million, offset by higher loan servicing income of $527 thousand. All other income decreased due mostly to lower gains from equity investments of $2.1 million, which are recorded based on the most recent information available from the investee and fluctuates based on their underlying performance. The higher loan servicing income related to the purchase of loan servicing rights at the end of the second quarter of 2022, with an underlying loan servicing portfolio of $1.7 billion and a remaining asset value of $22.0 million at September 30, 2022.

YTD 2022 vs YTD 2021

Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $5.0 million to $18.8 million compared to 2021. The increase was mainly due to higher customer service fees, loan servicing income, income from bank-owned life insurance, and all other income. Many of these increases are a result of including PMB's operations for a full nine months in 2022 compared to 2021. Customer services fees increased $1.8 million due mostly to higher deposit activity fees of $2.4 million attributed to higher average deposit balances, partially offset by lower loan fees of $657 thousand. Loan servicing income increased $481 thousand due mostly to the acquisition of servicing rights during the second quarter of 2022. Income from bank-owned life insurance increased $402 thousand due to higher average balances. The $2.3 million increase in all other income is due mostly to higher income from equity investments of $2.8 million, partially offset by a $773 thousand decrease in the change in fair value of loans held for sale between periods.

Noninterest expense

Q3-2022 vs Q2-2022

Noninterest expense increased $2.4 million to $51.0 million for the third quarter compared to the second quarter. The increase was due mostly to (i) acquisition, integration and transaction costs of $2.1 million related to the Deepstack acquisition, (ii) higher occupancy and equipment expense of $773 thousand including an early lease termination charge of $285 thousand, (iii) higher professional fees of $400 thousand, due mostly to a $562 thousand increase in indemnified legal fees (net of insurance recoveries), and (iv) lower reversal of provision for loan repurchases of $464 thousand. These increases were offset by lower net loss in alternative energy partnership investments of $539 thousand and lower all other expenses of $465 thousand. Professional fees included net indemnified legal expenses of $1.0 million in the third quarter compared to net indemnified legal expenses of $455 thousand in the second quarter.

Total operating costs, defined as noninterest expense adjusted for certain expense items (refer to section Non-GAAP Measures), increased $247 thousand to $47.4 million for the third quarter compared to $47.1 million for the prior quarter. This increase is due mostly to (i) higher occupancy and equipment expense of $773 thousand, (ii) lower reversal of provision for loan repurchase reserves of $464 thousand, offset by a decrease in other expenses of $990 thousand, including lower salary and employee benefits, professional fees and all other expenses.

YTD 2022 vs YTD 2021

Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $21.4 million to $146.2 million compared to 2021. The increase was primarily due to: (i) higher salaries and employee benefits of $9.7 million and occupancy and equipment expense of $2.8 million due to the increases in personnel and facilities from the acquisition of PMB, (ii) higher professional fees of $4.9 million, due mostly to a $4.3 million increase in indemnified legal fees (net of insurance recoveries), (iii) higher all other expenses of $3.3 million due to including the operations of PMB since the date of acquisition and (iv) higher loss in alternative energy partnership investments of $689 thousand. These increases were partially offset by: (i) higher reversal of loan repurchase reserves of $714 thousand and (ii) lower acquisition, integration and transaction costs of $320 thousand.

Income taxes

Q3-2022 vs Q2-2022

Income tax expense totaled $9.9 million for the third quarter resulting in an effective tax rate of 29.1% compared to $10.2 million for the second quarter and an effective tax rate of 27.6%. The effective tax rate for the full year 2022 is estimated to be 28%.

YTD 2022 vs YTD 2021

Income tax expense totaled $38.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, representing an effective tax rate of 28.1%, compared to $17.5 million and an effective tax rate of 23.6% for 2021. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was higher than the comparable 2021 period due mostly to the first quarter of 2021 including a net tax benefit of $2.1 million resulting from the exercise of all previously issued outstanding stock appreciation rights.

Investments

Securities held-to-maturity totaled $328.8 million at September 30, 2022 and included $214.6 million in agency securities and $114.2 million in municipal securities.

Securities available-for-sale decreased $17.9 million during the third quarter to $847.6 million at September 30, 2022, due mostly to principal payments of $10.9 million and higher unrealized net losses of $19.3 million, offset by purchases of $12.5 million. The higher net unrealized losses were due mostly to the impact of increases in longer-term market interest rates on the value of each class of securities. As of September 30, 2022, the securities available-for-sale portfolio included $472.7 million of CLOs, $169.4 million of corporate debt securities, $151.9 million of agency securities, $41.5 million of residential collateralized mortgage obligations, and $12.1 million of SBA securities. The CLO portfolio, which is comprised of AAA and AA-rated securities, represented 40% of the total securities portfolio and the carrying value included an unrealized net loss of $20.1 million at September 30, 2022, compared to 40% of the total securities portfolio and an unrealized net loss of $14.6 million at June 30, 2022.

Loan fundings of $820.6 million in the third quarter included SFR purchases of $172.7 million and were offset by net warehouse paydowns of $393.8 million and other loan paydowns and payoffs of $585.3 million.

Total deposits decreased $278.3 million during the third quarter of 2022 to $7.28 billion at September 30, 2022, due mostly to lower interest-bearing checking balances of $438.0 million and savings and money market balances of $144.9 million, partially offset by higher noninterest-bearing checking balances of $117.0 million and certificate of deposit balances of $187.6 million. Certain higher-costing deposits were strategically replaced with longer term fixed rate advances and other wholesale certificates of deposit. Noninterest-bearing checking totaled $2.94 billion and represented 40.4% of total deposits at September 30, 2022, compared to $2.83 billion, or 37.4% of total deposits, at June 30, 2022.

(1)	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 $98.8 million, or 1.36% of total loans, at September 30, 2022, compared to $99.7 million, or 1.34% of total loans, at June 30, 2022. The $849 thousand decrease in the ACL was due to: (i) net charge offs of $849 thousand and (ii) lower specific reserves of $571 thousand, offset by (iii) higher reserves for unfunded commitments of $500 thousand and (iv) higher general loan loss reserves of $70 thousand. Changes in general loan loss reserves were driven by changes in the portfolio mix including lower total loans, improved credit quality, and changes in macroeconomic variables used in the model. The ACL coverage of non-performing loans was 232% at September 30, 2022 compared to 224% at June 30, 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 September 2022. The published forecasts consider the Federal Reserve's monetary policy, labor market constraints, rising inflation, higher oil prices and the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, among other factors.

(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.
