Banc of California Reports Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Results

SANTA ANA, Calif., (January 25, 2022) — Banc of California, Inc. (NYSE: BANC) today reported net income of $5.8 million and net income available to common stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2021 of $4.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted common share. This compares to net income of $23.2 million and net income available to common stockholders of $21.4 million, or $0.42 per diluted common share, for the third quarter. The fourth quarter of 2021 included $13.5 million of pre-tax merger costs and $11.3 million of provision for credit losses for the loans acquired in the Pacific Mercantile Bancorp acquisition. For the year ended December 31, 2021, net income totaled $62.3 million and net income available to common stockholders totaled $50.6 million, or $0.95 per diluted common share. The year-to-date results for 2021 included $27.1 million of pre-tax merger costs and provision for credit losses related to the acquisition of Pacific Mercantile Bancorp.

Fourth quarter summary:

•Completed the acquisition of Pacific Mercantile Bancorp (the "PMB Acquisition") on October 18, 2021, for total purchase consideration of $225.4 million, adding $1.54 billion in total assets, $962.9 million in loans and $1.28 billion in deposits at acquisition date

•Completed the system conversion for the PMB Acquisition in November 2021

•Return on average assets of 0.24%

•Adjusted pre-tax pre-provision return on average assets of 1.39%, up from 1.34% in the prior quarter

•Net interest margin of 3.28%, flat with the prior quarter

•Average cost of total deposits of 0.11%, a 4 basis point decrease from the previous quarter

•Noninterest-bearing deposit balances represented 37% of total deposits at December 31, 2021, up from 26% a year earlier

•Allowance for credit losses at 1.35% of total loans and 187% of non-performing loans

•Non-performing loans increased 15.2% to $52.6 million as a result of loans acquired in the PMB Acquisition

•Common Equity Tier 1 capital at 11.38%

Jared Wolff, President & CEO of Banc of California, commented, “Our continued organic growth and initial benefits of the Pacific Mercantile Bancorp acquisition combined to produce a significant improvement in our core earnings power during the fourth quarter, with our adjusted pre-tax pre-provision income increasing 18% from the prior quarter and our adjusted pre-tax pre-provision return on average assets increasing 5 basis points to 1.39%. We finished the year with one of our largest quarters of loan fundings, with well balanced production across markets, asset classes and industries, while our deposit mix continued to improve with noninterest-bearing deposits increasing to 37% of total deposits at the end of 2021 and our spot rate cost of deposits declining to 0.07%.”

Mr. Wolff continued, “We continue to see good loan demand and high quality lending opportunities, and the deposit gathering engine we have built enables us to fund these loans with low-cost core deposits. With the combination of our continued momentum in business development, the positive impact of the Pacific Mercantile acquisition, and our increasing level of asset sensitivity, we believe we are very well positioned to deliver continued growth in revenue, earnings per share and franchise value.”

Lynn Hopkins, Chief Financial Officer of Banc of California, said, “Excluding the loans added from the Pacific Mercantile acquisition, we saw continued improvement in our asset quality with non-performing loans declining 32% from the end of the prior quarter, while criticized and classified loans declined 23%. Given the strength of our balance sheet and capital ratios, we remain in good position to redeem our Series E Preferred Stock during the first half of 2022, subject to regulatory approval, which will provide another catalyst for earnings growth going forward.”

Pacific Mercantile Bancorp Acquisition

On October 18, 2021, we acquired Pacific Mercantile Bancorp pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 22, 2021. As a result of the PMB Acquisition, we issued approximately 11.9 million shares and $3.2 million in cash for total consideration of $225.4 million. We acquired $1.54 billion in total assets, including $962.9 million in loans, $1.3 billion in deposits, $17.5 million in trust preferred securities, and $57.2 million of goodwill. The PMB Acquisition reduced our tangible book value per share by approximately $0.10. The system conversion was completed in November 2021.

Net interest income

Q4-2021 vs Q3-2021

Net interest income increased $10.1 million to $73.0 million for the fourth quarter due to higher average interest-earning assets and a lower cost of interest-bearing liabilities, offset by a lower yield on interest-earning assets and higher average interest-bearing liabilities.

The net interest margin remained steady at 3.28% for the fourth quarter as the average earning-assets yield decreased 7 basis points and the average cost of total funding decreased 8 basis points. The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased to 3.66% for the fourth quarter from 3.73% for the third quarter due primarily to the impact of cash balances added in the PMB Acquisition that was subsequently deployed later in the fourth quarter. Average loans increased by $888.0 million and average securities and other interest-earning assets increased $314.8 million due mostly to the PMB Acquisition. The average yield on loans increased 2 basis points to 4.20% during the fourth quarter as a result of the portfolio mix and an increase in prepayment penalties, offset by a decrease in total PPP income. The loan yield includes the impact of prepayment penalty fees, the net reversal or recapture of nonaccrual loan interest, accelerated discount accretion on the early payoff of purchased loans, and accelerated fees from PPP loan forgiveness; these items increased the loan yield by 12 basis points in the fourth quarter and 11 basis points in the third quarter.

The average cost of funds decreased 8 basis points to 0.41% for the fourth quarter from 0.49% for the third quarter. This decrease was driven by the lower average cost of interest-bearing liabilities due to an improved funding mix, including higher average noninterest-bearing deposits as a result of the PMB Acquisition. Average noninterest-bearing deposits represented 35% of total average deposits for the fourth quarter compared to 30% of total average deposits for the third quarter. Average noninterest-bearing deposits were $674.8 million higher in the fourth quarter compared to the third quarter while average deposits were $1.09 billion higher for the linked quarters due mostly to the PMB Acquisition. Average Federal Home Loan

Bank (FHLB) advances and other borrowings decreased $127.9 million, offset by the impact of $17.5 million of trust preferred securities added in the PMB Acquisition. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 6 basis points to 0.61% for the fourth quarter from 0.67% for the third quarter due to our continuing efforts to actively manage down the cost of interest-bearing deposits. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits declined 5 basis points to 0.17% for the fourth quarter from 0.22% for the third quarter. The average cost of total deposits decreased 4 basis points to 0.11% for the fourth quarter. The spot rate of total deposits was 0.07% at the end of the fourth quarter.

YTD 2021 vs YTD 2020

Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased $29.2 million to $253.8 million from $224.6 million for 2020. Net interest income was positively impacted by higher average interest-earning assets, lower average interest-bearing liabilities and improved funding costs, offset by lower yields on average interest-earning assets. For the year ended December 31, 2021, average interest-earning assets increased $628.3 million to $7.79 billion, and the net interest margin increased 13 basis points to 3.26% compared to 3.13% for 2020.

The net interest margin expanded due to a 47 basis point decrease in the average cost of funds outpacing a 32 basis point decline in the average interest-earning assets yield. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased to 3.74% for the year ended December 31, 2021, from 4.06% for 2020 due mostly to the impact of lower average market interest rates on loan and securities yields over these same timeframes. The average fed funds rate for the year ended December 31, 2021 was 0.08% compared to 0.38% for 2020. The average yield on loans was 4.24% for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to 4.52% for 2020 and the average yield on securities decreased 48 basis points to 2.13% due mostly to CLOs repricing into the lower rate environment.

The average cost of funds decreased to 0.52% for the year ended December 31, 2021, from 0.99% for 2020. This decrease was driven by the lower average cost of interest-bearing liabilities and the overall improved funding mix, including higher average noninterest-bearing deposits. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 51 basis points to 0.72% for the year ended December 31, 2021 from 1.23% for 2020 due to the combination of actively managing deposit pricing down into the lower interest rate environment and the overall reduced usage of FHLB advances to fund loan growth. Compared to 2020, the average cost of interest-bearing deposits declined 58 basis points to 0.27% and the average cost of total deposits decreased 47 basis points to 0.19%. Additionally, average noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $673.8 million or 50.9% for the year ended December 31, 2021 when compared to 2020.

Provision for credit losses

Q4-2021 vs Q3-2021

The provision for credit losses was $11.3 million for the fourth quarter, compared to a reversal of $1.1 million for the third quarter. The fourth quarter provision for credit losses of $11.3 million related to the initial charge for the expected lifetime losses related to loans acquired in the PMB Acquisition which are not credit impaired, referred to as "non-PCD loans", as well as the impact of net organic loan growth, specific reserves, improved economic forecasts and lower unfunded commitments at December 31, 2021.

YTD 2021 vs YTD 2020

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the provision for credit losses was $6.9 million, compared to $29.7 million during 2020. The lower provision for credit losses was due primarily to improvements in key macro-economic forecast variables, such as unemployment and gross domestic product, lower specific reserves and consideration of credit quality metrics, offset partially by higher period end loan balances of $1.35 billion, which included the $11.3 million charge related to the initial allowance for credit losses established for non-PCD loans acquired in the PMB Acquisition.

Noninterest income

Q4-2021 vs Q3-2021

Noninterest income decreased $659 thousand to $4.9 million for the fourth quarter due mostly to a decrease in all other income offset by increases in customer service fees and net gains on the sale of loans. The $1.0 million decrease in all other income was due mostly to the third quarter including an $841 thousand gain related to a sale-leaseback transaction. The $137 thousand increase in customer service fees was due mostly to the increase in customer activity as a result of the PMB Acquisition. Net gain on sale of loans totaled $275 thousand during the fourth quarter and related to the sale of $11.2 million in underperforming loans.

YTD 2021 vs YTD 2020

Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased $412 thousand to $18.9 million compared to 2020. The increase in noninterest income was mainly due to higher customer service fees, income from bank-owned life insurance, and fair value gain for loans held for sale, offset by lower net gain on sale of securities and all other income. The $1.9 million increase in customer services fees was due mostly to higher deposit activity fees of $2.1 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 $1.7 million as 2020 included valuation losses on loans held for sale due to the impact of the decreases in market interest rates. There were no gains from sale of securities for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $2.0 million in net gains in 2020 from the sale of $20.7 million in securities, primarily consisting of corporate securities. The $1.7 million decrease in all other income is due mostly to 2020 including legal settlement income of $3.2 million and earnout income of $1.6 million which ended in 2020, offset by the increases from the aforementioned $841 thousand gain related to the sale-leaseback transaction, higher loan processing fees of $1.1 million and higher interest rate swap income of $502 thousand.

Noninterest expense

Q4-2021 vs Q3-2021

Noninterest expense increased $20.3 million to $58.1 million for the fourth quarter compared to the prior quarter. The increase was due mostly to higher merger-related costs of $12.5 million, salaries and employee benefits of $3.0 million, occupancy and equipment of $731 thousand, professional fees of $3.0 million, all other expense of $410 thousand and lower net gain in alternative energy partnership investments of $565 thousand. Total merger-related costs increased $12.5 million to $13.5 million for the fourth quarter compared to the prior quarter as the result of severance, system conversion, facilities-related and other transaction costs. The increase in salaries and employee benefits and occupancy and equipment is due mostly to the increase in employees and facilities as a result of the PMB Acquisition. Professional fees included net indemnified legal expenses of $642 thousand in the fourth quarter compared to net recoveries of $2.2 million during the third quarter.

Total operating costs, defined as noninterest expense adjusted for certain expense items (refer to section Non-GAAP Measures), increased $4.5 million to $45.2 million for the fourth quarter compared to $40.7 million for the prior quarter primarily due to the higher salaries and benefits of $3.0 million, higher occupancy and equipment of $731 thousand, and higher all other expense of $410 thousand.

YTD 2021 vs YTD 2020

Noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 decreased $15.8 million to $183.2 million compared to the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to: (i) 2020 including a $26.8 million one-time charge related to the termination of our LAFC naming rights agreements, (ii) lower professional fees of $5.2 million, due mostly to a $3.0 million decrease in legal fees, net of insurance recoveries and a $1.9 million decrease in other professional fees, (iii) lower advertising fees of $2.8 million due to the termination of the LAFC agreements in May 2020, and (iv) lower all other expense of $4.2 million resulting from the previous year including a $2.5 million debt extinguishment fee for the early repayment of certain FHLB term advances and a $1.2 million charge for two legacy legal settlements combined with overall expense reduction efforts. These decreases were partially offset by: (i) higher salaries and employee benefits of $6.5 million due to the increase in personnel from the PMB Acquisition and higher commissions and incentive-based compensation due to higher production and financial performance levels, (ii) merger-related costs of $15.9 million, and (iii) higher operating costs in most other categories due to the impact of the PMB Acquisition.

Income taxes

Q4-2021 vs Q3-2021

Income tax expense totaled $2.8 million for the fourth quarter resulting in an effective tax rate of 32.4% compared to $8.7 million for the third quarter and an effective tax rate of 27.2%. The increase in effective tax rate during the fourth quarter was due mostly to the impact the PMB Acquisition had on our annual effective tax rate and other permanent items.

YTD 2021 vs YTD 2020

Income tax expense totaled $20.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, representing an effective tax rate of 24.5%, compared to $1.8 million and an effective tax rate of 12.4% for 2020. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2021 differs from the 29.5% combined federal and state statutory rate due primarily to the net tax benefit of $2.5 million resulting from the exercise of all previously issued outstanding stock appreciation rights in the first quarter of 2021, the impact the PMB Acquisition, and other discrete tax items that impact our effective tax rate.

Balance Sheet

At December 31, 2021, total assets were $9.39 billion, which represented a linked-quarter increase of $1.12 billion. The following table shows selected balance sheet line items as of the dates indicated:

Investments

Securities available-for-sale increased $12.3 million during the fourth quarter to $1.32 billion at December 31, 2021 primarily due to purchases of $60.9 million, offset by payoffs of $30.5 million from CLO calls, principal payments of $13.1 million, and lower unrealized net gains of $4.5 million. The decrease in unrealized net gains was due mostly to decreases in the value of mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt securities and municipal securities as a result of increases in longer term interest rates during the fourth quarter, offset by improved pricing of CLOs. As of December 31, 2021, the securities portfolio included $519.0 million of CLOs, $433.5 million of agency securities, $119.0 million of municipal securities, $173.6 million of corporate debt securities, $56.0 million of residential collateralized mortgage obligations, and $14.6 million of SBA securities. The CLO portfolio, which is comprised only of AA and AAA rated securities, represented 39% of the total securities portfolio and the carrying value included an unrealized net loss of $2.3 million at December 31, 2021 compared to 42% of the total securities portfolio and an unrealized net loss of $2.5 million at September 30, 2021.

(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 $98.2 million, or 1.35% of total loans, at December 31, 2021, compared to $78.8 million, or 1.26% of total loans, at September 30, 2021. The $19.4 million increase in the ACL was due to: (i) a $13.7 million initial allowance for credit losses established for purchased credit-deteriorated ("PCD") loans from the PMB Acquisition, (ii) an $11.3 million initial charge for all other loans acquired from PMB, partially offset by (iii) net charge-offs of $5.5 million, including $2.3 million of net charge-offs related to loans acquired in the PMB Acquisition. The ACL coverage of non-performing loans was 187% at December 31, 2021 compared to 173% at September 30, 2021.

At the date of acquisition, a reserve is established for PCD loans using our current expected credit losses methodology with a corresponding adjustment to the acquired loan balance. Similarly, a reserve is also established for loans not considered PCD loans, however, this reserve is established through a charge to the provision for credit losses.

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 December 2021. The December 2021 forecasts reflect a consistent view of the economy as compared to the September 2021 forecasts. While the current forecasts generally reflect an improving economy with the availability of the vaccine and other factors, there continues to be uncertainty regarding the impact of inflation (lasting or transitory), COVID-19 variants, further government stimulus, supply chain issues, and the ultimate pace of

economic recovery. Accordingly, the economic assumptions used in the model and the resulting ACL level and provision consider both the positive assumptions and potential uncertainties.

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, 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 (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.

2 FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS When used in this report and in documents filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), in press releases or other public stockholder communications, or in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases “believe,” “will,” “should,” “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “project,” “plans,” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “Safe-Harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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”), as well as the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, operations, financial performance and prospects. 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 effect 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 generally, 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; (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, or changes in financial markets; (viii) continuation of, or changes in, the short-term interest rate environment, changes in the levels of general interest rates, volatility in the interest rate environment, 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, write-down 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) failures or security breaches with respect to the network and computer systems on which we depend, including but not limited to, due to cybersecurity threats; (xviii) our ability to attract and retain key members of our senior management team; (xix) increased competitive pressures among financial services companies; (xx) changes in consumer spending, borrowing and saving habits; (xxi) the effects of severe weather, including as a result of climate change, natural disasters, pandemics, acts of war or terrorism, and other external events on our business; (xxii) the ability of key third-party providers to perform their obligations to us; (xxiii) 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; (xxiv) 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; (xxv) 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; (xxvi) 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 or preferred stock; and (xxvii) 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.

14 ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES WALK 4Q21: The ACL reserve increased $19.4 million due to: (1) a $13.7 million initial allowance for credit losses established for purchased credit-deteriorated ("PCD") loans from the PMB Acquisition, (2) an $11.3 million initial charge for all other loans acquired from PMB, and (3) higher specific reserves of $1.3 million, offset by (4) net charge-offs of $5.5 million and (5) lower general reserves of $1.3 million from portfolio mix. ACL includes Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL) and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments (RUC) – 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 December 2021. The December 2021 forecasts reflect a consistent view of the economy as compared to the September 2021 forecasts. While the current forecasts generally reflect an improving economy with the availability of the vaccine and other factors, there continues to be uncertainty regarding the impact of inflation (lasting or transitory), COVID-19 variants, further government stimulus, supply chain issues, and the ultimate pace of economic recovery. Accordingly, the economic assumptions used in the model and the resulting ACL level and provision consider both the positive assumptions and potential uncertainties.

32 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 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, adjusted 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 (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. Reconciliations of these measures to measures determined in accordance with GAAP are contained on slides 33-37 of this presentation.
