Banc of California Reports Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results

SANTA ANA, Calif., (July 22, 2021) — Banc of California, Inc. (NYSE: BANC) today reported net income of $19.1 million and net income available to common stockholders for the second quarter of 2021 of $17.3 million, or diluted earnings per common share of $0.34.
Highlights for the second quarter included:
•Return on average assets of 0.98%
•Total loan production of $904.1 million, including loan fundings of $847.0 million
•Period-end total cost of deposits of 0.20% and average cost of total deposits of 0.23%, a 5 basis point decrease from the prior quarter
•Net interest margin expanded to 3.27%, an 8 basis point increase from the prior quarter
•Noninterest-bearing deposit balances represented 29% of total deposits at June 30, 2021, up from 23% a year earlier
•Allowance for credit losses at 1.33% of total loans and 155% of non-performing loans
•Total deferrals/forbearances declined to $86.6 million at June 30, 2021 from $108.7 million at March 31, 2021
•Common Equity Tier 1 capital at 11.14%

Jared Wolff, President & CEO of Banc of California, commented, “Our strong second quarter results reflect the acceleration of our organic growth and our success in attracting new commercial client relationships. During the second quarter, our total loans increased at an annualized rate of 15%. The significant loan growth combined with an expanding net interest margin and disciplined expense control helped to produce a solid quarter of earnings.”

Mr. Wolff continued, “Our loan pipeline remains strong. We believe that we are well positioned to deliver continued organic balance sheet growth and even greater profitability in the second half of the year, barring any setbacks to the economic recovery. We will also benefit from the significant earnings accretion that we expect from the Pacific Mercantile Bancorp acquisition, which we anticipate to close during the third quarter. We now have visibility on cost savings of at least 40%, with substantially all of the savings expected to be realized by the end of this year.”

Lynn Hopkins, Chief Financial Officer of Banc of California, said, “The continued decline in our deposit costs combined with the redeployment of our excess liquidity into higher yielding earning assets drove an eight basis point increase in our net interest margin to 3.27%. We continued to drive a positive shift in the composition of our funding base with eight consecutive quarters of demand deposit growth, which now account for 65% of our total deposits. We also saw improved asset quality with declines in total delinquencies, deferrals and non-performing loans. As a result of the positive trends in asset quality and improving economic forecasts, we had a reserve release this quarter while still maintaining a high coverage ratio of allowance to total loans of 1.33%. Our capital optimization actions resulted in a $1.4 million increase to net income available to common stockholders in the second quarter following the redemption of our Series D Preferred Stock, and we continue to view the redemption of our Series E Preferred Stock as a late 2021 or early 2022 event, subject to regulatory approval, which we expect to provide additional earnings accretion.”

Net interest income
Q2-2021 vs Q1-2021
Net interest income increased $1.9 million to $59.8 million for the second quarter due to the higher yield on earning-assets, the lower cost and volume of interest-bearing liabilities, and the impact of one additional day in the current quarter.
The net interest margin increased 8 basis points to 3.27% for the second quarter from 3.19% for the first quarter as the average earning-assets yield increased 3 basis points and the average cost of total funding decreased 6 basis points. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased to 3.81% for the second quarter from 3.78% for the first quarter due mostly to an improved earning-asset mix as excess liquidity was redeployed. Average securities increased $72.1 million while average other interest-earning assets decreased $77.5 million and loans decreased by $12.6 million. The average yield on loans remained unchanged at 4.30% during the second quarter and included the impact of prepayment penalty fees, net reversal of nonaccrual loan interest, and accelerated fees from PPP loan forgiveness; these items increased the second quarter loan yield by 18 basis points and the first quarter loan yield by 13 basis points. The average yield on securities increased 1 basis point to 2.14% between quarters, including a 4 basis points decrease in the average yield on collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) to 1.87% for the second quarter due mostly to an increase in fair value of such investments.
The average cost of funds decreased 6 basis points to 0.57% for the second quarter from 0.63% for the first quarter. This decrease was driven by the lower average cost of interest-bearing liabilities and improved funding mix, including higher average noninterest-bearing deposits. During the second quarter, average deposits increased $52.8 million, consisting of higher average noninterest-bearing deposits of $114.2 million and lower average interest-bearing deposits of $61.4 million. Average noninterest-bearing deposits represented 28% of total average deposits for the second quarter compared to 27% of total average deposits for the first quarter. Average Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances decreased $28.5 million due to lower average term advances during the second quarter from maturities of term advances in the first and second quarters of 2021. Average long-term debt and other interest-bearing liabilities increased $13.9 million as a result of an increase in unsecured overnight borrowings from various financial institutions through the American Financial Exchange platform. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 6 basis points to 0.77% for the second quarter from 0.83% for the first quarter due to continuing to actively managing down the cost of interest-bearing deposits. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits declined 6 basis points to 0.32% for the second quarter from 0.38% for the first quarter. The average cost of total deposits decreased 5 basis points to 0.23% for the second quarter. The spot rate of total deposits at the end of the second quarter was 0.20%.

YTD 2021 vs YTD 2020
Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased $10.6 million to $117.8 million from $107.2 million for the same 2020 period. Net interest income was positively impacted by higher average interest-earning assets, lower average interest-earning liabilities and improved funding costs, offset by lower yields on average interest-earning assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, average interest-earning assets increased $233.8 million to $7.35 billion, and the net interest margin increased 20 basis points to 3.23% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 3.03% for the same 2020 period.
The net interest margin expanded due to a 62 basis point decrease in the average cost of funds outpacing a 37 basis point decline in the average interest-earning assets yield. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased to 3.80% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, from 4.17% for same 2020 period due mostly to the impact of lower market interest rates on loan and securities yields over this time period. The average fed funds rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was 0.08% compared to 0.66% for the same 2020 period. The average yield on loans was 4.30% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 4.52% for the same 2020 period and the average yield on securities decreased 98 basis points to 2.14% due mostly to CLOs repricing into the lower rate environment.
The average cost of funds decreased to 0.60% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, from 1.22% for the same 2020 period. This decrease was driven by the lower average cost of interest-bearing liabilities and the improved funding mix, including higher average noninterest-bearing deposits. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 70 basis points to 0.80% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from 1.50% for the same 2020 period due to the combination of actively managing deposit pricing down into the lower interest rate environment and the lower average cost of FHLB term advances resulting from maturities, early termination and refinancing of certain term advances during 2020. Compared to the same 2020 period, the average cost of interest-bearing deposits declined 81 basis points to 0.35% and the average cost of total deposits decreased 65 basis points to 0.25%. Additionally, average noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $469.4 million or 37.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the same 2020 period.
Provision for credit losses
Q2-2021 vs Q1-2021
The provision for credit losses was a reversal of $2.2 million for the second quarter, compared to a reversal of $1.1 million for the first quarter. The second quarter reversal of credit losses was due primarily to improvements in key macro-economic forecast variables, such as unemployment and gross domestic product, and consideration of credit quality metrics, offset by higher period end loan balances of $221.1 million.
YTD 2021 vs YTD 2020
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the provision for credit losses was a reversal of $3.3 million, compared to a provision of $27.6 million during the same 2020 period. The lower provision for credit losses was due primarily to improvements in key macro-economic forecast variables, such as unemployment and gross domestic product, and consideration of credit quality metrics, offset by higher period end loan balances of $357.8 million.
Noninterest income
Q2-2021 vs Q1-2021
Noninterest income decreased $211 thousand, to $4.2 million for the second quarter due mostly to certain legal settlements for the benefit of the Company occurring in the first quarter and recorded in other income. Customer service fees increased by $232 thousand due to higher loan fees of $91 thousand due to extension fees and higher deposit activity fees of $140 thousand attributed to higher average deposit balances and our initiative to bring our service fee schedules more in line with market.
YTD 2021 vs YTD 2020
Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased $1.0 million to $8.6 million compared to the same 2020 period. The increase in noninterest income was mainly due to higher customer service fees and lower fair value adjustment for loans held for sale, offset by lower net gain on sale of securities. The $1.4 million increase in customer services fees was due to higher loan fees of $363 thousand and higher deposit and interchange fees of $1.1 million. The increase in deposit activity fees is attributed to higher average deposit balances, and our initiative to bring our service fee schedules more in line with market. Fair value adjustment for loans held for sale improved $1.6 million as the comparable period included valuation losses on loans held for sale due to the impact of the decreases in market interest rates; there were no similar losses in 2021. The were no gains

from sale of securities for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $2.0 million in net gains in the same 2020 period from the sale of $20.7 million in securities, primarily consisting of corporate securities.
Noninterest expense
Q2-2021 vs Q1-2021
Noninterest expense decreased $6.2 million to $40.6 million for the second quarter compared to the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily due to lower professional fees of $2.3 million and higher net gain in alternative energy partnership investments of $4.5 million, offset by higher all other expense of $1.2 million. Professional fees included net recoveries of indemnified legal expenses of $1.3 million in the second quarter compared to net indemnified legal expenses of $721 thousand during the first quarter. The increase in all other expense was due to a $1.2 million increase in net losses on equity investments due to net losses of $727 thousand in the second quarter compared to net gains of $428 thousand in the prior quarter. Our equity investments without readily determinable fair values include investments in privately held companies and limited partnerships and our income or loss from these investments fluctuates based on their underlying performance. Total operating costs, defined as noninterest expense adjusted for certain non-core items (refer to section Non-GAAP Measures), increased $288 thousand to $42.0 million for the second quarter compared to $41.7 million for the prior quarter primarily due to the aforementioned net losses on equity investments offset by lower salaries and benefits and professional fees.
YTD 2021 vs YTD 2020
Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased $32.4 million to $87.3 million compared to the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to: (i) the same 2020 period including a $26.8 million one-time charge related to the termination of our LAFC naming rights agreements and a $2.5 million debt extinguishment fee associated with the early repayment of certain FHLB term advances, (ii) lower professional fees of $4.8 million, due to overall reductions in indemnified legal fees for resolved legal proceedings and various other litigations, (iii) lower advertising fees of $2.7 million due to the termination of our LAFC agreements in May 2020 and (iv) lower all other expense of $4.2 million resulting from overall expense reduction efforts, the comparable 2020 period including the aforementioned $2.5 million debt extinguishment fee and a $1.2 million charge to settle and conclude two legacy legal matters, and a $304 thousand increase in loss on equity investments between periods. These decreases were partially offset by higher (i) salaries and employee benefits of $3.1 million due to higher commissions and incentive-based compensation, (ii) merger-related costs of $1.4 million associated with our proposed merger with PMB, and (iii) net losses in alternative energy partnership investments of $1.1 million.
Income taxes
Q2-2021 vs Q1-2021
Income tax expense totaled $6.6 million for the second quarter resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.6% compared to $2.3 million for the first quarter and an effective tax rate of 13.8%. The higher effective tax rate between quarters was due to the first quarter including a net tax benefit of $2.1 million resulting from the exercise of all previously issued outstanding stock appreciation rights. The effective tax rate is expected to be in the 25% to 27% range for the remaining quarters in 2021.
YTD 2021 vs YTD 2020
Income tax expense totaled $8.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, representing an effective tax rate of 20.9%, compared to an income tax benefit of $7.5 million and an effective tax rate of 23.0% for the same 2020 period. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 differs from the 21% federal statutory rate due primarily to the aforementioned tax benefit resulting from the exercise of all previously issued outstanding stock appreciation rights.

Investments
Securities available-for-sale increased $82.3 million during the second quarter to $1.35 billion at June 30, 2021 primarily due to purchases of $174.0 million, offset by calls and maturities of $100.2 million and principal payments of $4.6 million, and higher unrealized net gains of $13.5 million. The increase in unrealized net gains was due mostly to increases in the value of mortgage-backed securities as a result of decreases in longer term interest rates during the second quarter, coupled with improved pricing of CLOs and corporate debt securities due to lower credit spreads. As of June 30, 2021, our securities portfolio included $584.3 million of CLOs, $462.9 million of agency securities, $121.0 million of municipal securities, $168.6 million of corporate debt securities, and $16.2 million of SBA pool securities. The CLO portfolio, which is comprised only of AA and AAA rated securities, represented 43.2% of the total securities portfolio and the carrying value included an unrealized net loss of $3.0 million at June 30, 2021 compared to an unrealized net loss of $3.6 million at March 31, 2021.

The increases were partially offset by decreases in construction loans of $18.6 million due to prepayment activity and SBA loans of $85.0 million due mostly to the forgiveness of $94.9 million in PPP loans during the quarter, offset by $11.8 million of PPP loans originated and outstanding at June 30, 2021. At June 30, 2021, SBA loans included $193.9 million of PPP loans, net of fees, of which $65.5 million related to PPP loans originated in 2020.

Total deposits increased $64.5 million during the second quarter of 2021 to $6.21 billion due to higher noninterest-bearing checking balances of $108.6 million and interest-bearing checking of $128.8 million, offset by lower money market balances of $82.7 million, savings balances of $8.3 million, and non-brokered certificates of deposit of $81.9 million. We continue to focus on growing relationship-based deposits, strategically augmented by wholesale funding, as we actively managed down deposit costs in response to the current interest rate environment. Noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $1.81 billion and represented 29.1% of total deposits at June 30, 2021 compared to $1.70 billion, or 27.7% of total deposits, at March 31, 2021.

Total delinquent loans decreased $26.3 million in the second quarter to $35.0 million at June 30, 2021, due to $45.5 million returning to current status offset by $19.8 million of additions including $4.3 million in guaranteed SBA loans that were repurchased and are pending resolution.

Non-performing loans decreased $4.6 million to $51.3 million as of June 30, 2021, of which $32.0 million, or 62%, relates to loans in a current payment status.

At June 30, 2021, non-performing loans included (i) a legacy relationship totaling $7.2 million that is well-secured by a combination of commercial real estate and SFR properties with an average loan-to-value ratio of 50%, (ii) SFR loans totaling $21.2 million, (iii) repurchased guaranteed SBA loans of $6.6 million, and (iv) other commercial loans of $16.3 million.

The allowance for expected credit losses (ACL), which includes the reserve for unfunded loan commitments, totaled $79.7 million, or 1.33% of total loans, at June 30, 2021, compared to $82.7 million, or 1.43% of total loans, at March 31, 2021. The $3.0 million decrease in the ACL was due to: (i) lower general reserves of $3.3 million from portfolio mix, including higher portfolio balances, offset by improved economic assumptions and asset quality trends, (ii) net charge-offs of $860 thousand, and (iii) higher specific reserves of $1.2 million. The ACL coverage of non-performing loans was 155% at June 30, 2021 compared to 148% at March 31, 2021.

Our 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 (MEVs) released by our model provider during June 2021. In contrast to the March 2021 forecasts, the assumptions in the June 2021 forecasts generally reflect a more favorable view of the economy (i.e. higher GDP growth rates and lower unemployment rates). While the June 2021 forecasts reflect an improving economy with the rollout of the vaccine and other factors, there continues to be uncertainty regarding the impact of inflation (lasting or transitory), COVID-19 variants and the ultimate pace of the recovery. Accordingly, our economic assumptions and the resulting ACL level and provision reversal consider both the positive assumptions and potential uncertainties. The ACL also incorporated qualitative factors to account for certain loan portfolio characteristics that are not taken into consideration by the third-party model including underlying strengths and weaknesses in various segments of the loan portfolio. As is the case with all estimates, the ACL is expected to be impacted in future periods by economic volatility, changing economic forecasts, underlying model assumptions, and asset quality metrics, all of which may be better than or worse than current estimates.

Non-GAAP Measures

(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 common share, return on average tangible common equity, adjusted noninterest income, 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 total revenue, 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 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 net interest income and adjusted noninterest income (adjusted 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 adjusted total revenue.
Adjusted net income (loss) is calculated by adjusting net income (loss) for tax-effected noninterest income and expense adjustments and the tax impact from the exercise of stock appreciation rights. Adjusted ROAA is computed by dividing annualized adjusted net income by average assets. Adjusted net income (loss) available to common shareholders is computed by removing the impact of preferred stock redemptions from adjusted net income (loss).
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.
