INCOME STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income totaled $168.6 million in the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of $12.8 million, or 7.0%, from the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease in net interest income was primarily attributable to a higher cost of funds reflecting an increase in deposit pricing as a result of the higher interest rate environment, an increase in brokered certificates of deposit as part of our liquidity management strategy, and two fewer days of interest, partially offset by higher yields on average interest-earning assets.

The net interest margin for the first quarter of 2023 decreased 17 basis points to 3.44%, from 3.61% in the prior quarter. The lower net interest margin was due to higher cost of funds and lower loan prepayment fees, partially offset by higher yields on interest-earning assets.

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2023 increased $6.8 million, or 4.2%, compared to the first quarter of 2022. The increase was attributable to higher yields on average interest-earning assets, partially offset by a higher cost of funds, higher average interest-bearing liabilities, and lower loan-related fees and accretion income as a result of decreased prepayment activity.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2023 was $21.2 million, an increase of $689,000 from the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to a $1.3 million increase in trust custodial account fees driven by seasonal, annual tax fees earned during the first quarter, partially offset by a $344,000 decrease in other income, and a $224,000 decrease in escrow and exchange fees. Additionally, the Bank sold $304.2 million of investment securities for a net gain of $138,000 during the first quarter of 2023.

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2023 decreased $4.7 million, compared to the first quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a $2.0 million decrease in net gain from sales of investment securities, a $1.5 million decrease in net gain from loan sales, a $603,000 decrease in escrow and exchange fees attributable to the lower transaction activity in the commercial real estate market, and a $554,000 decrease in trust custodial account fees.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $101.4 million for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $2.2 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily due to a $1.7 million increase in deposit expense driven by higher deposit earnings credit rates, as well as a $962,000 increase in FDIC insurance premiums, partially offset by a $622,000 decrease in other expense.

Noninterest expense increased by $3.7 million compared to the first quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to a $4.7 million increase in deposit expense driven by higher deposit earnings credit rates, a $1.4 million increase in legal and professional services, a $1.3 million increase in data processing, and a $1.0 million increase in FDIC insurance premiums, partially offset by a $2.7 million decrease in compensation and benefits from decreased staffing levels as well as a $1.1 million decrease in other expense.

BALANCE SHEET HIGHLIGHTS

Loans

Loans held for investment totaled $14.17 billion at March 31, 2023, a decrease of $504.5 million, or 3.4%, from December 31, 2022, and a decrease of $562.0 million, or 3.8%, from March 31, 2022. The decrease from December 31, 2022 was a result of lower loan originations due to our disciplined approach around credit risk management and loan pricing along with lower loan demand. The decrease from March 31, 2022 was primarily driven by lower loan fundings as well as loan prepayments and maturities.

During the first quarter of 2023, new loan commitments totaled $116.8 million, and loan fundings totaled $66.9 million, compared with $239.8 million in loan commitments and $149.1 million in new loan fundings for the fourth quarter of 2022, and $1.46 billion in loan commitments and $1.06 billion in new loan fundings for the first quarter of 2022. Loan commitments decreased compared to prior quarters as we strategically maintained a disciplined approach to credit risk management and loan pricing.

At March 31, 2023, the total loan-to-deposit ratio was 82.4%, compared with 84.6% and 83.4% at December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively.

Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses

At March 31, 2023, our allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on loans held for investment was $195.4 million, a decrease of $263,000 from December 31, 2022, and a decrease of $2.1 million from March 31, 2022. The decline in ACL from December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022 was reflective primarily of lower loans held for investment.

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company incurred $3.3 million of net charge-offs, compared to $3.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2022, and $446,000 of net charge-offs during the first quarter of 2022, respectively.

The following table provides the allocation of the ACL for loans held for investment as well as the activity in the ACL attributed to various segments in the loan portfolio as of and for the period indicated:

Investment Securities

At March 31, 2023, available-for-sale (“AFS”) and held-to-maturity (“HTM”) investment securities were $2.11 billion and $1.75 billion, respectively, compared to $2.60 billion and $1.39 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2022, and $3.22 billion and $996.4 million, respectively, at March 31, 2022. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company reassessed classification of certain AFS investments and transferred approximately $410.7 million of collateralized mortgage obligations to HTM securities, which the Company intends and has the ability to hold to maturity. The transfer of these securities was accounted for at fair value on the transfer date. These securities had pre-tax unrealized losses of $50.4 million at the time of transfer.

In total, investment securities were $3.86 billion at March 31, 2023, a decrease of $127.2 million from December 31, 2022, and a decrease of $356.6 million from March 31, 2022. The decrease in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the prior quarter was primarily the result of $304.2 million in investment securities sales and $105.9 million in principal payments, discounts from the AFS securities transferred to HTM, amortization, and redemptions, partially offset by $232.3 million in purchases and a mark-to-market fair value loss reduction of $50.7 million.

The decrease in investment securities from March 31, 2022 was primarily the result of $580.4 million in sales, $422.8 million in principal payments, discounts from the AFS securities transferred to HTM, amortization, and redemptions, and a mark-to-market fair value loss increase of $80.2 million, partially offset by $720.0 million in purchases.

Deposits

At March 31, 2023, total deposits were $17.21 billion, a decrease of $144.6 million, or 0.8%, from December 31, 2022, and a decrease of $481.4 million, or 2.7%, from March 31, 2022.

At March 31, 2023, core deposits⁽¹⁾ totaled $14.21 billion or 82.6% of total deposits, a decrease of $639.5 million, or 4.3%, from December 31, 2022, and a decrease of $2.44 billion, or 14.7%, from March 31, 2022. The decreases from prior quarters were largely driven by the industry-wide turmoil experienced during the quarter and partially by clients redeploying funds into higher yielding alternatives.

At March 31, 2023, non-core deposits totaled $3.00 billion, an increase of $494.9 million, or 19.8%, from December 31, 2022, and an increase of $1.96 billion, or 189.2%, from March 31, 2022. The increase in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to the addition of $324.3 million in brokered certificates of deposit, and an increase of $170.7 million in retail certificates of deposit. The increase from March 31, 2022 was primarily driven by increases in brokered and retail certificates of deposit.

The weighted average cost of total deposits for the first quarter of 2023 was 0.94%, compared to 0.58% for the fourth quarter of 2022, and 0.04% for the first quarter of 2022. The increases in the weighted average cost of

deposits for the first quarter of 2023, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2022, were principally driven by higher pricing across all deposit categories. The weighted average cost of core deposits⁽²⁾ for the first quarter of 2023 was 0.54%, compared to 0.31% for the fourth quarter of 2022, and 0.03% for the first quarter of 2022.

At March 31, 2023, the end-of-period weighted average rate of total deposits was 1.15%, compared to 0.79% at December 31, 2022 and 0.04% at March 31, 2022. At March 31, 2023, the end-of-period weighted average rate of core deposits was 0.61%, compared to 0.43% at December 31, 2022, and 0.03% at March 31, 2022.

Borrowings

At March 31, 2023, total borrowings amounted to $1.13 billion, a decrease of $199.8 million from December 31, 2022, and an increase of $200.6 million from March 31, 2022. Total borrowings at March 31, 2023 were comprised of $800.0 million of Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”) term advances and $331.4 million of subordinated debt. The decrease in borrowings at March 31, 2023 as compared to December 31, 2022 was due to the maturity of $200.0 million in FHLB term advances during the first quarter of 2023, partially offset by the amortization of the subordinated debt issuance costs. The increase in borrowings at March 31, 2023 as compared to March 31, 2022 was due to $200.0 million higher FHLB term advances to manage interest rate risk and liquidity.

As of March 31, 2023, our unused borrowing capacity was $8.55 billion, which consists of available lines of credit with FHLB and other correspondent banks as well as access through the Federal Reserve Bank's discount window and the new Bank Term Funding Program, neither of which we accessed during the first quarter of 2023.

Capital Ratios

At March 31, 2023, our common stockholder's equity was $2.83 billion, or 13.25% of total assets, compared with $2.80 billion, or 12.90%, at December 31, 2022, and $2.78 billion, or 12.87%, at March 31, 2022, with a book value per share of $29.58, compared with $29.45 at December 31, 2022, and $29.31 at March 31, 2022. At March 31, 2023, the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets⁽¹⁾ was 9.20%, compared with 8.88% at December 31, 2022, and 8.79% at March 31, 2022, and tangible book value per share⁽¹⁾ was $19.61, compared with $19.38 at December 31, 2022, and $19.12 at March 31, 2022. The increase in tangible book value per share at March 31, 2023 from the prior quarter was primarily driven by net income, partially offset by the dividends paid.

The Company implemented the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) model on January 1, 2020 and elected to phase in the full effect of CECL on regulatory capital over the five-year transition period. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company began phasing into regulatory capital the cumulative adjustments at the end of the second year of the transition period at 25% per year. At March 31, 2023, the Company and Bank were in compliance with the capital conservation buffer requirement and exceeded the minimum Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1, and total capital ratios, inclusive of the fully phased-in capital conservation buffer of 7.0%, 8.5%, and 10.5%, respectively, and the Bank qualified as “well capitalized” for purposes of the federal bank regulatory prompt corrective action regulations.

GAAP to NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS

PACIFIC PREMIER BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Unaudited)
The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operational performance and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of such financial performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures. As other companies may use different calculations for these adjusted measures, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled adjusted measures reported by other companies.

For periods presented below, return on average tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate this figure by excluding amortization of intangible assets expense from net income and excluding the average intangible assets and average goodwill from the average stockholders' equity during the periods indicated. Management believes that the exclusion of such items from this financial measure provides useful information to gain an understanding of the operating results of our core business.

Pre-provision net revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate the pre-provision net revenue by excluding income tax and provision for credit losses from net income. Management believes that the exclusion of such items from this financial measure provides useful information to gain an understanding of the operating results of our core business and a better comparison to the financial results of prior periods.

Tangible book value per share and tangible common equity to tangible assets (the “tangible common equity ratio”) are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate tangible book value per share by dividing tangible common equity by common shares outstanding, as compared to book value per share, which we calculate by dividing common stockholders' equity by shares outstanding. We calculate the tangible common equity ratio by excluding the balance of intangible assets from common stockholders' equity and dividing by tangible assets. We believe that this information is consistent with the treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios. Accordingly, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide information that is important to investors and that is useful in understanding our capital position and ratios.

Cost of core deposits is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP-based amounts. Cost of core deposits is calculated as the ratio of core deposit interest expense to average core deposits. We calculate core deposit interest expense by excluding interest expense for certificates of deposit and brokered deposits from total deposit expense, and we calculate average core deposits by excluding certificates of deposit and brokered deposits from total deposits. Management believes cost of core deposits is a useful measure to assess the Company's deposit base, including its potential volatility.
