Banc of California Reports $0.69 EPS for First Quarter 2022

SANTA ANA, Calif., (April 21, 2022) — Banc of California, Inc. (NYSE: BANC) today reported net income of $48.5 million and net income available to common stockholders of $43.3 million, or $0.69 per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2022. This compares to net income of $5.8 million and net income available to common stockholders of $4.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2021. The first quarter of 2022 net income available to common stockholders included a $31.3 million pre-tax recovery from the settlement of a previously charged-off loan and a $3.7 million after-tax charge related to the redemption of Series E Preferred Stock. 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 (PMB) acquisition.

First quarter highlights:

•Return on average assets of 2.09%, up from 0.24% in the prior quarter

•Pre-tax pre-provision return on average assets of 1.54%, up from 0.84% in the prior quarter

•Adjusted pre-tax pre-provision return on average assets of 1.55%, up from 1.39% in the prior quarter

•Net interest margin of 3.51%, an increase of 23 basis points from the prior quarter

•Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 40% of total deposits at March 31, 2022, up from 28% a year earlier

•Average cost of total deposits of 0.08%, a 3 basis point decrease from the prior quarter

•Redemption of all Series E Preferred Stock for total consideration of $98.7 million

•Repurchase of $4.3 million of common stock under a $75 million authorization announced on March 15, 2022

•Allowance for credit losses at 1.32% of total loans and 181% of non-performing loans

•Common Equity Tier 1 capital at 11.39%

Jared Wolff, President & CEO of Banc of California, commented, “We had a terrific first quarter with strong financial performance across the board that demonstrated the momentum of our franchise: high quality loan growth; solid inflows of noninterest-bearing deposits; net interest margin expansion; higher levels of noninterest income; and strong asset quality. Our core earnings continue to grow via both our organic loan generation as well as the accretive benefits of the Pacific Mercantile Bancorp acquisition.”

Mr. Wolff continued, “Since the start of the year, our loan pipeline has been steadily building and is now more than twice as large as it was at the beginning of the second quarter of 2021, with good contributions coming from all asset classes and markets. Given our strong loan pipeline, our asset sensitive position that will benefit from higher interest rates, and the operating leverage we are realizing as we grow our balance sheet, we see many catalysts for driving further growth in earnings and returns as we move through 2022.”

Lynn Hopkins, Chief Financial Officer of Banc of California, said, “During the first quarter, we were able to successfully execute on a number of initiatives that positively impact shareholder value including recovering approximately $31 million from a previously charged-off loan, announcing a $75 million common stock repurchase program, and redeeming our Series E Preferred Stock which will add approximately $7 million annually to our net income available to common stockholders.”

Net interest income

Q1-2022 vs Q4-2021

Net interest income increased $3.4 million to $76.4 million for the first quarter due to higher yield on interest-earning assets and lower average balances and costs of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by lower average interest-earning assets.

The net interest margin increased 23 basis points to 3.51% for the first quarter as the average earning-assets yield increased 21 basis points and the average cost of total funding decreased 2 basis points. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased to 3.87% for the first quarter from 3.66% for the fourth quarter due to the mix of interest-earning assets and higher yields on loan and securities. Average loans increased by $315.4 million from ongoing loan growth and including the loans acquired in the PMB acquisition for a full quarter while other interest-earning assets decreased $328.4 million. The average yield on loans increased 6 basis points to 4.26% during the first quarter as a result of the portfolio mix. 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 both the first quarter and prior quarter.

The average cost of funds decreased 2 basis points to 0.39% for the first quarter from 0.41% for the fourth 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 and growth from business development efforts. Average noninterest-bearing deposits represented 38% of total average deposits for the first quarter compared to 35% of total average deposits for the fourth quarter. Average noninterest-bearing deposits were $180.9 million higher in the first quarter compared to the fourth quarter while average deposits were $81.0 million lower for the linked quarters. Average Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances and other borrowings increased $141.8 million due mostly to higher overnight borrowings. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 3 basis points to 0.58% for the first quarter from 0.61% for the fourth quarter due to the funding mix including the impact of including PMB's deposits for a full quarter. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits declined 5 basis points to 0.12% for the first quarter from 0.17% for the fourth quarter. The average cost of total deposits decreased 3 basis points to 0.08% for the first quarter. The spot rate of total deposits was 0.07% at the end of the first quarter.

Provision for credit losses

Q1-2022 vs Q4-2021

The provision for credit losses was a reversal of $31.5 million for the first quarter, compared to a charge of $11.3 million for the fourth quarter. The first quarter reversal of credit losses included $31.3 million related to a recovery from the settlement of a loan previously charged-off in 2019. The fourth quarter of 2021 provision charge was due primarily to the initial charge for the non-purchased credit deteriorated loans acquired in the PMB acquisition.

Noninterest income

Q1-2022 vs Q4-2021

Noninterest income increased $1.1 million to $5.9 million for the first quarter due mostly to higher customer service fees and all other income, offset by lower net gains on the sale of loans. The $397 thousand increase in customer service fees was due mostly to including PMB's operations for a full quarter. The $817 thousand increase in all other income was due mostly to a $771 thousand gain related to a sale-leaseback transaction.

Noninterest expense

Q1-2022 vs Q4-2021

Noninterest expense decreased $11.5 million to $46.6 million for the first quarter compared to the prior quarter. The decrease was due mostly to lower merger-related costs of $13.5 million, offset by higher net loss in alternative energy partnership investments of $1.4 million and an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $1.2 million. The increase in salaries and employee benefits is attributed to including PMB operations for a full quarter and higher taxes and benefits typical of the first quarter. Professional fees included net recoveries of indemnified legal expenses of $106 thousand in the first quarter compared to net expenses of $642 thousand during the fourth quarter.

Total operating costs, defined as noninterest expense adjusted for certain expense items (refer to section Non-GAAP Measures), increased $1.3 million to $46.5 million for the first quarter compared to $45.2 million for the prior quarter. This increase is due mostly to higher salaries and benefits of $1.2 million and all other expense of $559 thousand as a result of including PMB's operations for a full quarter and higher payroll-related items typical of the first quarter.

Income taxes

Q1-2022 vs Q4-2021

Income tax expense totaled $18.8 million for the first quarter resulting in an effective tax rate of 27.9% compared to $2.8 million for the fourth quarter and an effective tax rate of 32.4%. The decrease in the effective tax rate during the first quarter was due mostly to the previous quarter including the impact of the PMB acquisition on our annual effective tax rate. The effective tax rate for 2022 is expected to be similar to the effective income tax rate for the first quarter.

Investments

Securities held-to-maturity totaled $329.4 million at March 31, 2022 and included $215.2 million in agency securities and $114.2 million in municipal securities. To position the balance sheet for rising interest rates, during the first quarter we transferred certain longer-duration fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities from the available-for-sale portfolio to the held-to-maturity portfolio. At the time of the transfer, the securities had an unrealized gross loss of $16.6 million.

Securities available-for-sale decreased $416.9 million during the first quarter to $898.8 million at March 31, 2022, primarily due to transferring certain securities to the held-to-maturity portfolio, collateralized loan obligation (CLO) payoffs of $28.5 million, principal payments of $8.0 million, sales of $17.6 million and higher unrealized net losses of $38.1 million, offset by purchases of $5.0 million. The higher net unrealized losses were due mostly to the impact of increases in longer-term market interest rates on the value of each class of securities. As of March 31, 2022, the securities available-for-sale portfolio included $488.0 million of CLOs, $177.9 million of agency securities, $168.6 million of corporate debt securities, $50.5 million of residential collateralized mortgage obligations, and $13.8 million of SBA securities. The CLO portfolio, which is comprised only of AA and AAA rated securities, represented 40% of the total securities portfolio and the carrying value included an unrealized net loss of $4.8 million at March 31, 2022, compared to 39% of the total securities portfolio and an unrealized net loss of $2.3 million at December 31, 2021.

During the first quarter, $150.1 million of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans acquired in the PMB acquisition were moved to the other commercial and industrial category from the commercial real estate category. At March 31, 2022, SBA loans included $58.3 million of PPP loans, net of fees of $203 thousand, compared to $123.1 million, net of fees of $772 thousand at December 31, 2021.

Total deposits increased $40.3 million during the first quarter of 2022 to $7.48 billion at March 31, 2022, due mostly to higher noninterest-bearing checking balances of $170.4 million, offset by lower savings and money market balances of $146.0 million.

Total delinquent loans decreased $11.8 million in the first quarter to $61.0 million at March 31, 2022, due mostly to $33.0 million returning to current status and $8.3 million in other reductions including paydowns, partially offset by additions of $29.5 million. The additions included (i) $23.8 million in single-family residential mortgage loans and (ii) $3.9 million in commercial and industrial loans. At March 31, 2022, delinquent loans included (i) SFR loans of $30.4 million, (ii) SBA PPP loans of $4.4 million and other SBA loans of $10.6 million, of which $13.1 million are guaranteed, and (iii) other loans of $15.7 million.

Non-performing loans increased $2.0 million to $54.5 million as of March 31, 2022, of which $19.5 million, or 36%, relates to loans in a current payment status. The first quarter increase was due mostly to additions of $9.4 million, offset by $1.0 million in loans returning to accrual status and $6.4 million in payoffs, paydowns, and charge-offs. At March 31, 2022, non-performing loans included (i) a $12.6 million commercial and industrial loan acquired in the PMB acquisition, (ii) SBA PPP loans of $4.4 million and other SBA loans totaling $11.0 million, of which $13.1 million is guaranteed, (iii) SFR loans totaling $10.3 million, and (iv) other commercial loans of $15.7 million. Non-performing TDRs increased by $10.9 million due mostly to modifying the $12.6 million non-performing commercial and industrial loan acquired in the PMB acquisition.

(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 $98.6 million, or 1.32% of total loans, at March 31, 2022, compared to $98.2 million, or 1.35% of total loans, at December 31, 2021. The $442 thousand increase in the ACL was due primarily to: (i) higher specific reserves of $744 thousand and (ii) other net recoveries of $642 thousand, offset by (iii) a $944 thousand reduction in general reserves from changes in portfolio mix, improved macroeconomic variables (MEVs) used for model purposes, the general credit quality of the portfolio, and lower unfunded commitments, offset by overall loan growth. The $31.3 million recovery from the settlement of a loan previously charged-off in 2019 also resulted in a reversal of provision for credit losses and therefore had no net impact on the ACL. The ACL coverage of non-performing loans was 181% at March 31, 2022 compared to 187% at December 31, 2021.

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 MEVs released by the model provider during March 2022. The published forecasts consider rising inflation, higher oil prices, ongoing supply chain

issues and the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, among other factors, and while they reflect a less optimistic view of the economy as compared to the December 2021 forecasts, certain MEVs used in the model during the current quarter, such as California employment and the CRE price index, reflect improvements. Nonetheless, the ultimate pace of economic recovery remains uncertain and accordingly, the economic assumptions used in the model and the resulting ACL level and provision consider both the positive assumptions and potential uncertainties.

Non-GAAP Measures

Under Item 10(e) of SEC Regulation S-K, public companies disclosing financial measures in filings with the SEC that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP must also disclose, along with each non-GAAP financial measure, certain additional information, including a presentation of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as a statement of the reasons why the company's management believes that presentation of the non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the company's financial condition and results of operations and, to the extent material, a statement of the additional purposes, if any, for which the company's management uses the non-GAAP financial measure.

Tangible assets, tangible equity, tangible common equity, tangible equity to tangible assets, tangible common equity to tangible assets, tangible common equity per share, return on average tangible common equity, adjusted noninterest expense, adjusted noninterest expense to average total assets, pre-tax pre-provision (PTPP) income (loss), adjusted PTPP income (loss), PTPP income (loss) ROAA, adjusted PTPP income (loss) ROAA, efficiency ratio, adjusted efficiency ratio, adjusted net income, adjusted net income available to common stockholders, adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) and adjusted return on average assets (ROAA) constitute supplemental financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are used by management in its analysis of the Company's performance.

Tangible assets and tangible equity are calculated by subtracting goodwill and other intangible assets from total assets and total equity. Tangible common equity is calculated by subtracting preferred stock from tangible equity. Return on average tangible common equity is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders, after adjustment for amortization of intangible assets, by average tangible common equity. Banking regulators also exclude goodwill and other intangible assets from stockholders' equity when assessing the capital adequacy of a financial institution.

PTPP income is calculated by adding net interest income and noninterest income (total revenue) and subtracting noninterest expense. Adjusted PTPP income is calculated by adding total revenue and subtracting adjusted noninterest expense. PTPP income ROAA is computed by dividing annualized PTPP income by average assets. Adjusted PTPP income ROAA is computed by dividing annualized adjusted PTPP income by average assets. Efficiency ratio is computed by dividing noninterest expense by total revenue. Adjusted efficiency ratio is computed by dividing adjusted noninterest expense by total revenue.

Adjusted net income (loss) is calculated by adjusting net income (loss) for tax-effected noninterest expense adjustments and the tax impact from the exercise of stock appreciation rights for the periods indicated. Adjusted ROAA is computed by dividing annualized adjusted net income by average assets. Adjusted net income (loss) available to common stockholders is computed by removing the impact of preferred stock redemptions from adjusted net income (loss). Adjusted diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing adjusted net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding.

Management believes the presentation of these financial measures adjusting the impact of these items provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the financial results and operating performance of the Company. This disclosure should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

The following tables provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures with financial measures defined by GAAP.

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, including its recent acquisition of Pacific Mercantile Bancorp, 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, including the impact of supply chain disruptions, or changes in financial markets; (viii) changes in the interest rate environment and levels of general interest rates, including the 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, 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) 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 or preferred 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. Further, statements about the potential effects of the Pacific Mercantile Bancorp acquisition on our business, financial results and condition may constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to the risk that the actual effects may differ, possibly materially, from what is reflected in those forward-looking statements due to factors and future developments that are uncertain, unpredictable and in many cases beyond our control, including (i) the risk that the benefits from the transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected, including as a result of changes in general economic and market conditions, interest and exchange rates, monetary policy, laws and regulations and their enforcement, and the degree of competition in the geographic and business areas in which Banc of California, Inc. and Pacific Mercantile Bancorp operate; (ii) the ability to promptly and effectively integrate the businesses of Banc of California, Inc. and Pacific Mercantile Bancorp; (iii) diversion of management time on integration-related issues; (iv) lower than expected revenues, credit quality deterioration or a reduction in real estate values or a reduction in net earnings; and (v) other risks that are described in Banc of California, Inc.’s public filings with the SEC.

This also resulted in a reversal of provision for credit losses and therefore had no net impact on the ACL at March 31, 2022. The $0.4 million increase in the ACL was due to (i) higher specific reserves of $0.7 million, and (ii) other net recoveries of $0.6 million, offset by (iii) a $0.9 million reduction in general reserves from changes in portfolio mix, improved macroeconomic variables used for model purposes, and the general credit quality of the portfolio, offset by overall loan growth. ACL includes Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL) and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments (RUC)

29 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 expense, adjusted noninterest expense to average total assets, pre-tax pre-provision (PTPP) income (loss), adjusted PTPP income (loss), PTPP income (loss) ROAA, adjusted PTPP income (loss) ROAA, efficiency ratio, adjusted efficiency ratio, adjusted net income, adjusted net income available to common stockholders, adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) and adjusted return on average assets (ROAA) constitute supplemental financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are used by management in its analysis of the Company's performance. Tangible assets and tangible equity are calculated by subtracting goodwill and other intangible assets from total assets and total equity. Tangible common equity is calculated by subtracting preferred stock from tangible equity. Return on average tangible common equity is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders, after adjustment for amortization of intangible assets, by average tangible common equity. Banking regulators also exclude goodwill and other intangible assets from stockholders' equity when assessing the capital adequacy of a financial institution. PTPP income is calculated by adding net interest income and noninterest income (total revenue) and subtracting noninterest expense. Adjusted PTPP income is calculated by adding total revenue and subtracting adjusted noninterest expense. PTPP income ROAA is computed by dividing annualized PTPP income by average assets. Adjusted PTPP income ROAA is computed by dividing annualized adjusted PTPP income by average assets. Efficiency ratio is computed by dividing noninterest expense by total revenue. Adjusted efficiency ratio is computed by dividing adjusted noninterest expense by total revenue. Adjusted net income (loss) is calculated by adjusting net income (loss) for tax- effected noninterest expense adjustments and the tax impact from the exercise of stock appreciation rights for the periods indicated. Adjusted ROAA is computed by dividing annualized adjusted net income by average assets. Adjusted net income (loss) available to common stockholders is computed by removing the impact of preferred stock redemptions from adjusted net income (loss). Adjusted diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing adjusted net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding. Management believes the presentation of these financial measures adjusting the impact of these items provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the financial results and operating performance of the Company. This disclosure should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Reconciliations of these measures to measures determined in accordance with GAAP are contained on slides 30-34 of this presentation.
