Jared Wolff, President & CEO of Banc of California, commented, "During the fourth quarter, we capitalized on our strong, stable deposit base and slightly asset sensitive balance sheet to continue generating solid core earnings while being selective in our new loan production given the macroeconomic uncertainty. As a result, while we had a slightly smaller average balance sheet in the fourth quarter, our core earnings were consistent with the prior quarter and we generated a significant increase in our tangible book value per share."

Mr. Wolff continued, “With the strong deposit base we have built, conservatively underwritten loan portfolio, and high capital ratios, we are well positioned to continue generating strong financial results for our shareholders and effectively managing through the economic uncertainty. While maintaining disciplined expense management, we continue to take a long-term approach and opportunistically invest in areas that will strengthen our franchise. We believe these investments, along with the

(1)Adjusted financial metrics represent non-GAAP measures; refer to section 'Non-GAAP Measures'

high performing team and culture that we have built, will allow us to continue to gain market share and enhance franchise value.”

Lynn Hopkins, Chief Financial Officer of Banc of California, said, “With noninterest-bearing deposits averaging 41% of total deposits in the fourth quarter, combined with the balance sheet management actions we took earlier in the year to manage our funding costs, our net interest margin increased 11 basis points from the prior quarter and contributed to our strong financial performance. Our healthy capital ratios enabled us to take advantage of higher interest rates and reposition a portion of our securities portfolio. During the fourth quarter, we sold approximately $119 million of lower-yielding securities for a loss of $7.7 million and reinvested the proceeds into securities with a higher average yield of over 230 basis points, which will contribute to our future earnings growth. Our adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.45 for the fourth quarter when adjusting for the loss on sale of securities, net indemnified legal costs, and net losses on investments in alternative energy partnerships.”

Net interest income

Q4-2022 vs Q3-2022

Net interest income increased $809 thousand to $80.2 million for the fourth quarter due to a higher yield on interest-earning assets and lower average interest-bearing liabilities balances, offset by lower average interest-earning assets and a higher cost on interest-bearing liabilities.

The net interest margin increased 11 basis points to 3.69% for the fourth quarter as the average interest-earning assets yield increased 46 basis points and the cost of average total funding increased 38 basis points. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased to 4.79% for the fourth quarter from 4.33% for the third quarter mainly due to higher yields on loans, securities and other interest-earning assets. The overall loan yield increased 38 basis points to 4.92% during the fourth quarter as a result of the impact of higher market interest rates and changes in portfolio mix. 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 both the fourth quarter and prior quarter. The yield on securities increased 81 basis points to 4.19%% due mostly to CLO yields resetting higher in the current rate environment and the impact of securities sales and purchases.

The average cost of funds increased 38 basis points to 1.17% for the fourth quarter from 0.79% for the third quarter. This increase was driven by the higher cost of average interest-bearing liabilities, which increased 61 basis points to 1.81% for the fourth quarter from 1.20% for the third quarter. The cost of average interest-bearing deposits increased 57 basis points to 1.34% for the fourth quarter from 0.77% for the third quarter while the cost of average Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances increased 29 basis points to 3.21% for the fourth quarter from 2.92% for the third quarter. The increase in the cost of these funding sources was due to the impact of higher market interest rates as the average effective Federal Funds rate increased 147 basis points from 2.18% in the third quarter to 3.65% in the fourth quarter.

Average noninterest-bearing deposits were $42.5 million higher in the fourth quarter compared to the third quarter while average deposits were $375.8 million lower for the linked quarter. Average noninterest-bearing deposits represented 41% of average total deposits for the fourth quarter, compared to 38% for the third quarter. The cost of average total deposits increased 32 basis points to 0.79% for the fourth quarter.

The spot rate of total deposits was 1.07% at the end of the fourth quarter, compared to 0.56% in the prior quarter. Average FHLB advances and other borrowings were $172.0 million higher in the fourth quarter compared to the third quarter as wholesale funding sources were strategically utilized to further improve liquidity and manage funding costs.

YTD 2022 vs YTD 2021

Net interest income increased $60.6 million, or 23.9%, to $314.4 million for the year ended December 31, 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 $81.1 million and interest expense increased $20.5 million as average earning assets increased $961.9 million and average total funding sources increased $953.3 million due largely to the impact of the acquisition of Pacific Mercantile Bancorp (PMB) in the fourth quarter of 2021.

The net interest margin increased 33 basis points to 3.59% as the average earning-assets yield increased 52 basis points and the average cost of total funding increased 19 basis points between periods. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased to 4.26% for the year ended December 31, 2022, from 3.74% for the same period in 2021 due mostly to higher market interest rates and changes in the mix of interest-earning assets. Average loans represented 83% of average earnings assets in 2022 compared to 79% for the full year in 2021. Average loans increased by $1.11 billion from organic loan growth and the impact of the PMB acquisition. The yield on average loans increased 28 basis points to 4.52% for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the full year of 2021. The yield on average investment securities and other interest-earning assets increased 100 basis points and 149 basis points, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to the full year of 2021.

The average cost of funds increased 19 basis points to 0.71% for the year ended December 31, 2022 from 0.52% for 2021. This increase was driven by the higher cost of average interest-bearing liabilities, partially 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 36 basis points to 1.08% for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to 0.72% for the same period in 2021 and included a 35 basis point increase in the cost of average interest-bearing deposits to 0.62%. Average noninterest-bearing deposits were $842.2 million higher for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to 2021 while average total deposits were $795.2 million higher. Average noninterest-bearing deposits represented 39% of total average deposits for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to 30% for 2021. The

average cost of total deposits increased 19 basis points to 0.38% for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the full year of 2021.

Provision for credit losses

Q4-2022 vs Q3-2022

There was no provision for credit losses for the fourth quarter and the third quarter as benefits related to overall stable credit quality metrics within the loan portfolio combined with changes in the portfolio mix and a decrease in total loan balances were offset by the impact of the deterioration in the macroeconomic outlook, which includes the impact of higher market interest rates and the anticipated ongoing actions of the Federal Reserve to lower inflation.

YTD 2022 vs YTD 2021

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the provision for credit losses was a reversal of $31.5 million, compared to a provision for credit losses of $6.9 million during 2021. The reversal of credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2022 was due to a $31.3 million recovery from the settlement of a loan previously charged-off in 2019. The provision for credit losses in 2021 included a $11.3 million charge related to establishing the initial allowance for credit losses for non-purchased credit-deteriorated (non-PCD) loans acquired in the PMB acquisition. This charge was offset by benefits from improvements in key macroeconomic forecast variables.

Noninterest income

Q4-2022 vs Q3-2022

Noninterest income decreased $7.1 million to a loss of $1.4 million for the fourth quarter due mainly to a $7.7 million loss on the sale of investment securities offset by higher other income of $1.0 million. Other income included higher gains from equity investments of $724 thousand. 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 year ended December 31, 2022 decreased $2.0 million to $17.4 million compared to 2021. The decrease was mainly due to the aforementioned loss on sale of securities, offset by 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 the full year in 2022 compared to 2021. Customer services fees increased $1.9 million due mostly to higher deposit activity fees of $2.6 million attributed to higher average deposit balances, partially offset by lower loan fees of $755 thousand. Loan servicing income increased $923 thousand due mostly to the acquisition of mortgage servicing rights at the end of the second quarter of 2022. Income from bank-owned life insurance increased $531 thousand due to higher average balances and all other income increased $2.4 million due mostly to higher gains from equity investments.

Noninterest expense

Q4-2022 vs Q3-2022

Noninterest expense decreased $2.8 million to $48.2 million for the fourth quarter compared to the third quarter. The decrease was due mostly to (i) lower acquisition, integration and transaction costs of $2.1 million, (ii) lower professional fees of $1.0 million, due to a $1.9 million decrease in indemnified legal fees (net of recoveries) and a $859 thousand increase in other professional fees, and (iii) lower occupancy and equipment expense of $218 thousand as the prior quarter included an early lease termination charge of $285 thousand, partially offset by (iv) higher all other expenses of $454 thousand. Professional fees included net indemnified legal recoveries of $869 thousand in the fourth quarter compared to net indemnified legal expenses of $1.0 million in the third quarter.

Adjusted noninterest expense, which represents total operating costs (a non-GAAP measure; refer to section Non-GAAP Measures), increased $1.1 million to $48.5 million for the fourth quarter compared to $47.4 million for the prior quarter. This increase was due mostly to higher professional fees of $859 thousand and all other expenses of $454 thousand, partially offset by lower occupancy and equipment expense of $218 thousand.

YTD 2022 vs YTD 2021

Noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased $10.7 million to $194.4 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 $3.4 million due mainly to the increases in personnel and facilities from the acquisition of PMB, (ii) higher professional fees

of $4.4 million, due mostly to a $2.6 million increase in indemnified legal fees (net of insurance recoveries) and a $1.8 million increase in other professional fees, (iii) higher all other expenses of $3.7 million due to including the operations of PMB since the date of acquisition, (iv) higher loss in alternative energy partnership investments of $2.5 million, and (v) higher amortization of intangible assets of $429 thousand due to the acquisitions of PMB in 2021 and Deepstack during 2022. These increases were partially offset by lower acquisition, integration and transaction costs of $13.8 million.

Income taxes

Q4-2022 vs Q3-2022

Income tax expense totaled $9.1 million for the fourth quarter resulting in an effective tax rate of 29.6% compared to $9.9 million for the third quarter and an effective tax rate of 29.1%.

YTD 2022 vs YTD 2021

Income tax expense totaled $47.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, representing an effective tax rate of 28.4%, compared to $20.3 million and an effective tax rate of 24.5% for 2021. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2022 was higher than the prior year due mostly to 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 $328.6 million at December 31, 2022 and included $214.4 million in agency securities and $114.2 million in municipal securities.

Securities available-for-sale increased $20.7 million during the fourth quarter to $868.3 million at December 31, 2022, due mostly to purchases of $135.0 million and unrealized net gains of $2.6 million, offset by sales of securities of $118.9 million for $111.2 million resulting in a loss of $7.7 million and principal payments of $5.8 million. The securities sold during the quarter had an average yield of 3.5% and the securities purchased had an estimated yield of 5.8% at the time of purchase. The lower unrealized net losses of $9.5 million were due mostly to the realization of losses on sale of securities, the impact of decreases in certain longer-term market interest rates, and the tightening of credit spreads on the value of each class of securities.

As of December 31, 2022, the securities available-for-sale portfolio included $476.6 million of CLOs, $166.6 million of corporate debt securities, $133.4 million of agency securities, $80.5 million of residential collateralized mortgage obligations, and $11.2 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 $15.6 million at December 31, 2022, compared to 40% of the total securities portfolio and an unrealized net loss of $20.1 million at September 30, 2022.

The allowance for credit losses (ACL), which includes the reserve for unfunded loan commitments, totaled $91.3 million, or 1.28% of total loans, at December 31, 2022, compared to $98.8 million, or 1.36% of total loans, at September 30, 2022. The $7.6 million decrease in the ACL was due to: (i) net charge offs of $7.6 million, of which $7.1 million related to specific reserves for a purchased credit-deteriorated loan and (ii) $1.1 million lower RUC from lower volume of unfunded commitments, offset by (iii) new specific reserves totaling $1.0 million and (iv) higher general reserves of $0.2 million due to changes in portfolio mix. The ACL coverage of non-performing loans was 165% at December 31, 2022 compared to 232% at September 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 December 2022. The published forecasts consider the Federal Reserve's monetary policy, labor market constraints, inflation levels, higher oil prices 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 income, adjusted noninterest expense, adjusted noninterest income to adjusted total revenue, adjusted noninterest expense to average total assets, pre-tax pre-provision (PTPP) income, adjusted PTPP income, PTPP income ROAA, adjusted PTPP income 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 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 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 is calculated by adjusting net income for tax-effected noninterest income and 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 available to common stockholders is computed by removing the impact of preferred stock redemptions from adjusted net income. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing adjusted net income 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.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. These statements may relate to future financial performance, strategic plans or objectives, revenue, expense or earnings projections, or other financial items of Banc of California, Inc. and its affiliates (“BANC,” the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”). By their nature, these statements are subject to numerous uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated or projected include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and steps taken by governmental and other authorities to contain, mitigate, and combat the pandemic on our business, operations, financial performance and prospects; (ii) the costs and effects of litigation, including legal fees and other expenses, settlements and judgments; (iii) the risk that we will not be successful in the implementation of our capital utilization strategy, new lines of business, new products and services, or other strategic project initiatives; (iv) risks that the Company’s merger and acquisition transactions may disrupt current plans and operations and lead to difficulties in customer and employee retention, risks that the costs, fees, expenses and charges related to these transactions could be significantly higher than anticipated and risks that the expected revenues, cost savings, synergies, and other benefits of these transactions might not be realized to the extent anticipated, within the anticipated timetables, or at all and, in the case of our recent acquisition of Deepstack Technologies, reputational risk, regulatory risk and potential adverse reactions of the Company's or Deepstack's customers, suppliers, vendors, employees or other business partners; (v) the credit risks of lending activities, which may be affected by deterioration in real estate markets and the financial condition of borrowers, and the operational risk of lending activities, including but not limited to, the effectiveness of our underwriting practices and the risk of fraud, any of which may lead to increased loan delinquencies, losses, and nonperforming assets in our loan portfolio, and may result in our allowance for credit losses not being adequate and require us to materially increase our credit loss reserves; (vi) the quality and composition of our securities portfolio; (vii) changes in general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, including the impact of supply chain disruptions, or changes in financial markets, and the risk of recession or an economic downtrun; (viii) changes in the interest rate environment and levels of general interest rates, including the recent and anticipated increases by the FRB in its benchmark rate, the impacts of inflation, the relative differences between short- and long-term interest rates, deposit interest rates, our net interest margin, and funding sources; (ix) fluctuations in the demand for loans, and fluctuations in commercial and residential real estate values in our market area; (x) our ability to develop and maintain a strong core deposit base or other low cost funding sources necessary to fund our activities; (xi) results of examinations of us by regulatory authorities and the possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, limit our business activities, require us to change our business mix, restrict our ability to invest in certain assets, increase our allowance for credit losses, result in write-downs of asset values, increase our capital levels, affect our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, or impose fines, penalties or sanctions, any of which could adversely affect our liquidity and earnings; (xii) legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business, including, without limitation, changes in tax laws and policies, changes in privacy laws, and changes in regulatory capital or other rules, and the availability of resources to address or respond to such changes; (xiii) our ability to control operating costs and expenses; (xiv) staffing fluctuations in response to product demand or the implementation of corporate strategies that affect our work force and potential associated charges; (xv) the risk that our enterprise risk management framework may not be effective in mitigating risk and reducing the potential for losses; (xvi) errors in estimates of the fair values of certain of our assets and liabilities, which may result in significant changes in valuation; (xvii) uncertainty regarding the expected discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and the use of alternative reference rates; (xviii) failures or security breaches with respect to the network, applications, vendors and computer systems on which we depend, including but not limited to, due to cybersecurity threats; (xix) our ability to attract and retain key members of our senior management team; (xx) increased competitive pressures among financial services companies; (xxi) changes in consumer spending, borrowing and saving habits; (xxii) the effects of climate change, severe weather events, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics and other public health crises, acts of war or terrorism, and other external events on our business; (xxiii) the ability of key third-party providers to perform their obligations to us; (xxiv) changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the financial institution regulatory agencies or the Financial Accounting Standards Board or their application to our business, including additional guidance and interpretation on accounting issues and details of the implementation of new accounting standards; (xxv) continuing impact of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s credit loss accounting standard, referred to as Current Expected Credit Loss, which requires financial institutions to determine periodic estimates of lifetime expected credit losses on loans, and provide for the expected credit losses as allowances for loan losses; (xxvi) share price volatility and reputational risks, related to, among other things, speculative trading and certain traders shorting our common shares and attempting to generate negative publicity about us; (xxvii) our ability to obtain regulatory approvals or non-objection to take various capital actions, including the payment of dividends by us or our bank subsidiary, or repurchases of our common stock; and (xxviii) other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services and the other risks described in this report and from time to time in other documents that we file with or furnish to the SEC.

27 NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION This presentation contains certain financial measures determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These measures include 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 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 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 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 expense adjustments and the tax impact from the exercise of stock appreciation rights for the periods indicated. Adjusted net income is calculated by adjusting net income for tax-effected noninterest income and 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. Reconciliations of these measures to measures determined in accordance with GAAP are contained on slides 28-32 of this presentation.
