Banc of California Reports First Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Banc of California, Inc. (NYSE: BANC) today reported net income of $14.4 million and net income available to common stockholders for the first quarter of 2021 of $7.8 million, or diluted earnings per common share of $0.15.

Highlights for the first quarter included:

  • Return on average assets of 0.74%
  • Average cost of total deposits of 0.28%, an 8 basis point decrease from the prior quarter, and period-end total cost of deposits of 0.24%
  • Noninterest-bearing deposit balances represented 28% of total deposits at March 31, 2021, up from 23% a year earlier
  • Allowance for credit losses at 1.43% of total loans and 148% of non-performing loans
  • Total deferrals/forbearances declined to $108.7 million at March 31, 2021 from $251.9 million at December 31, 2020
  • Common Equity Tier 1 capital at 11.50%
  • Entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Pacific Mercantile Bancorp, a commercial bank headquartered in Costa Mesa, California with total assets of $1.6 billion at December 31, 2020
  • Redemption of all Series D Preferred Stock for total consideration of $93.3 million

Jared Wolff, President & CEO of Banc of California, commented, “Our first quarter results reflected solid core operating performance and execution on the strategies that are enhancing the value of our franchise. We continued to grow average loans and earning assets, improve our deposit mix, reduce our cost of deposits, and maintain disciplined expense control. Certain non-core items in the quarter masked some of these results but, adjusted for these items, our quarterly results were very good.”

Mr. Wolff continued, “Strong loan production helped to offset runoff in certain legacy areas of our portfolio. Our loan pipeline is steadily building which should support continued loan and earning asset growth through the year, assuming economic trends continue. During the first quarter, we also announced that we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Pacific Mercantile Bancorp. The transaction is currently on track to close during the third quarter of 2021 and both organizations are excited about the opportunities to leverage the collective strengths of the combined company, and to realize the earnings accretion and other benefits that will further accelerate profitability.”

Lynn Hopkins, Chief Financial Officer of Banc of California, said, “Given the high level of reserves we built during 2020 and improving economic forecasts, we had a small reserve release in the first quarter, and our allowance for credit losses to total loans ratio was unchanged from the prior quarter. We continued to see a significant decline in loan deferrals during the first quarter, although non-performing loans increased due to the downgrade of well-secured single family residential loans. We are pleased we were able to redeem our Series D Preferred Stock during the first quarter, which we expect to be accretive to our earnings per share going forward. With the improvement we are seeing in our financial performance and strong capital ratios, we remain well positioned to redeem our Series E Preferred Stock late in 2021 or in early 2022, which we expect will provide additional earnings accretion.”

Ms. Hopkins continued, “Our net income available to common stockholders and earnings per share in the first quarter included $3.6 million in pre-tax losses on alternative energy investment partnership investments, $1.4 million in pre-tax merger-related and indemnified professional fees, $3.4 million in Series D preferred stock redemption expense, and $2.1 million in tax benefits related to the exercise of all previously issued outstanding stock appreciation rights. Excluding these items, net of a more normalized effective tax rate of 25%, our adjusted net income available to common stockholders for the quarter would have been $12.9 million or $0.25 per diluted share.”

Net interest income

Q1-2021 vs Q4-2020

Net interest income decreased $3.6 million to $57.9 million for the first quarter due to lower prepayment fees, higher net nonaccrual interest reversal, lower amortized fee income from PPP loan forgiveness, and 2 less days in the current quarter, offset by higher average interest-earning assets and lower interest expense. Compared to the prior quarter, average interest-earning assets increased by $110.0 million to $7.36 billion, including higher average loans of $39.1 million and higher other interest-earning assets of $74.1 million.

The net interest margin decreased 19 basis points to 3.19% for the first quarter of 2021 from 3.38% for the fourth quarter of 2020 as the average earning-assets yield decreased 26 basis points and the average cost of total funding decreased 7 basis points. The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased to 3.78% for the first quarter from 4.04% for the fourth quarter due mostly to lower loan yields. The average yield on loans decreased 28 basis points to 4.30% during the first quarter due to impact of lower prepayment penalty fees, higher net reversal of nonaccrual loan interest, and lower amortized fees from PPP loan forgiveness; these items increased the first quarter loan yield by 13 basis points and the fourth quarter loan yield by 34 basis points. The average yield on securities remained flat at 2.13% between quarters. The average yield on our collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) decreased 3 basis points to 1.91% for the first quarter from 1.94% for the fourth quarter as these securities reprice quarterly.

The average cost of total funding decreased 7 basis points to 0.63% for the first quarter from 0.70% for the fourth quarter. This decrease was driven by the lower average cost of interest-bearing liabilities and improved funding mix, including higher average noninterest-bearing deposits during the first quarter. During the first quarter, average deposits increased $164.2 million, consisting of higher average noninterest-bearing deposits of $205.1 million and lower average interest-bearing deposits of $40.9 million. Average Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances decreased $87.7 million primarily due to maturities of $105.0 million in advances during the prior quarter. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 6 basis points to 0.83% for the first quarter of 2021 from 0.89% for the fourth quarter of 2020 due to actively managing down the cost of interest-bearing deposits into the current rate environment. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits declined 9 basis points to 0.38% for the first quarter from 0.47% for the prior quarter. Additionally, average noninterest-bearing deposits represented 27% of total average deposits for the first quarter compared to 24% of total average deposits for the fourth quarter. The average cost of total deposits decreased 8 basis points to 0.28% for the first quarter. The spot rate of total deposits at the end of the first quarter of 2021 was 0.24%.

Provision for credit losses

Q1-2021 vs Q4-2020

The provision for credit losses was a reversal of $1.1 million for the first quarter, compared to a provision for credit losses of $1.0 million for the fourth quarter. The first quarter reversal of credit losses was due primarily to improvements in key macro-economic forecast variables, such as unemployment and gross domestic product, consideration of credit quality metrics, and lower period end loan balances of $134.0 million.

Noninterest income

Q1-2021 vs Q4-2020

Noninterest income decreased $2.6 million, to $4.4 million for the first quarter due mostly to lower other income from legacy legal settlements for the benefit of the Company which totaled $2.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2020. Customer service fees decreased by $195 thousand due to lower loan fees of $367 thousand, offset by higher deposit activity fees of $172 thousand. The increase in deposit activity fees is attributed to higher balances and our initiative to bring our service fee schedules more in line with market.

Noninterest expense

Q1-2021 vs Q4-2020

Noninterest expense increased $7.8 million to $46.7 million for the first quarter compared to the prior quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher professional fees of $4.0 million, higher merger-related costs of $700 thousand, and higher net losses in alternative energy partnership investments of $4.3 million. Professional fees included indemnified legal expenses, net of recoveries, of $721 thousand in the first quarter compared to net recoveries of $4.2 million during the fourth quarter. These increases were offset by lower occupancy and equipment of $364 thousand due mostly to lower rent and other facility-related expenses and a $566 thousand decrease in all other expense. The fourth quarter all other expenses included the write-off of capitalized software costs of $336 thousand; there were no similar charges in the first quarter. Total operating costs, defined as noninterest expense adjusted for certain non-core items (refer to section Non-GAAP Measures), decreased $2.3 million to $41.7 million for the first quarter compared to $44.0 million for the prior quarter primarily due to lower professional fees, occupancy and equipment, and other expenses.

Income taxes

Q1-2021 vs Q4-2020

Income tax expense totaled $2.3 million for the first quarter resulting in an effective tax rate of 13.8% compared to $6.9 million for the fourth quarter and an effective tax rate of 24.1%. The lower effective tax rate between quarters was due to a tax benefit resulting from the exercise of all previously issued outstanding stock appreciation rights, including a net benefit of $2.1 million in the first quarter. The effective tax rate is expected to be in the 25% to 27% range for the remaining quarters in 2021.

Investments

Securities available-for-sale increased $39.4 million during the first quarter to $1.27 billion at March 31, 2021 primarily due to purchases of $52.8 million, offset by principal payments of $9.4 million and lower unrealized net gains of $3.6 million. The decrease in the unrealized net gains was due mostly to decreases in the value of mortgage-backed securities as a result of increases in longer term interest rates, offset by improved pricing of CLOs and corporate debt securities due to lower credit spreads. There were no sales of securities during the first quarter. As of March 31, 2021, our securities portfolio included $683.9 million of CLOs, $334.3 million of agency securities, $85.5 million of municipal securities, $150.3 million of corporate debt securities, and $16.7 million of SBA pool securities. The CLO portfolio, which is comprised only of AA and AAA rated securities, represented 53.8% of the total securities portfolio and the carrying value included an unrealized net loss of $3.6 million at March 31, 2021 compared to an unrealized net loss of $9.7 million at December 31, 2020.

Held-for-investment loans decreased $134.0 million to $5.76 billion from the prior quarter, resulting from lower commercial and industrial (C&I) loans of $210.0 million due, in part, to decreased utilization of credit facilities and decreases in multifamily loans of $31.5 million, and construction loans of $6.9 million due to prepayment activity. The decreases were partially offset by increases in commercial real estate loans of $32.8 million and SBA loans of $65.5 million due mostly to $131.9 million in new PPP loans originated, offset by the SBA processing forgiveness requests of $62.5 million during the quarter. At March 31, 2021, SBA loans included $276.0 million of PPP loans, net of fees.

We continue to focus the real estate loan portfolio toward relationship-based multifamily, bridge, light infill construction, and commercial real estate loans. Currently, loans secured by residential real estate (single-family, multifamily, single-family construction, and credit facilities) represent approximately 66% of our total loans outstanding.

The C&I portfolio has limited exposure to certain business sectors undergoing severe stress. The C&I industry concentrations in dollars and as a percentage of total outstanding C&I loan balances are summarized below:

Total deposits increased $56.2 million during the first quarter of 2021 to $6.14 billion due to higher noninterest-bearing checking balances of $141.1 million and money market balances of $60.8 million, offset by lower interest-bearing checking of $19.4 million, savings balances of $22.7 million, and non-brokered certificates of deposit of $87.3 million. We continue to focus on growing relationship-based deposits, strategically augmented by wholesale funding, as we actively managed down deposit costs in response to the current interest rate environment. Noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $1.70 billion and represented 27.7% of total deposits at March 31, 2021 compared to $1.56 billion, or 25.6% of total deposits, at December 31, 2020.

Debt

Advances from the FHLB increased $95.3 million, or 18%, to $635.1 million, as of March 31, 2021, due to higher overnight advances, offset by maturities of $45.0 million in term advances. At the end of the first quarter, FHLB advances included $225.0 million in overnight borrowings, $5.0 million in term advances maturing within three months, and $411.0 million maturing beyond three months with a weighted average life of 4.7 years and weighted average interest rate of 2.53%.

Equity

At March 31, 2021, total stockholders’ equity decreased by $92.5 million to $804.7 million and tangible common equity decreased by $2.3 million to $670.2 million on a linked-quarter basis. The decrease in total stockholders’ equity for the first quarter, was a result of the redemption of all remaining Series D Preferred Stock for $93.3 million, lower net accumulated other comprehensive income of $2.6 million, dividends to common and preferred stockholders of $6.2 million and the impact of vested and exercised share-based awards of $6.4 million, offset by net income of $14.4 million and share-based award compensation of $1.5 million. Tangible book value per share decreased to $13.24 as of March 31, 2021 from $13.39 at December 31, 2020.

Capital ratios remain strong with total risk-based capital at 15.87% and a tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.62%. The following table sets forth our regulatory capital ratios at March 31, 2021 and the previous four quarters. The interim capital relief related to the adoption of the current expected credit losses (CECL) accounting standard increased the Bank's leverage ratio by approximately 10 basis points at March 31, 2021.

Total delinquent loans increased $29.7 million in the first quarter to $61.3 million at March 31, 2021, due to $39.0 million of additions, offset by $9.2 million returning to current status and $0.2 million of principal payments or payoffs. Delinquent loans included single-family residential (SFR) loans of $47.8 million, or 78% of the total delinquent balance at quarter end, and represented $24.9 million of the quarter over quarter increase. Excluding delinquent SFR loans, the remaining delinquent loans totaled $13.5 million, or 0.30% of total loans at March 31, 2021.

Non-performing loans increased $19.3 million to $55.9 million as of March 31, 2021, of which $18.1 million, or 32%, relates to loans in a current payment status. The first quarter increase was due to $22.5 million of loans placed on non-accrual status, offset by $3.2 million in cured loans and payoffs. Of the $22.5 million of loans placed on non-accrual status, $20.0 million, or 88.7%, of such loans, related to SFR loans.

At March 31, 2021, non-performing loans included (i) a legacy relationship totaling $7.3 million, or 13% of total non-performing loans, that is well-secured by a combination of commercial real estate and SFR properties with an average loan-to-value ratio of 51%, (ii) SFR loans totaling $32.4 million, or 58% of total non-performing loans, and (iii) other commercial loans of $16.1 million, or 29% of total non-performing loans.

Represents the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses on January 1, 2020. As a result of adopting ASU 2016-13, our methodology to compute our allowance for credit losses is based on a current expected credit loss methodology, rather than the previously applied incurred loss methodology.

The allowance for expected credit losses (ACL), which includes the reserve for unfunded loan commitments, totaled $82.7 million, or 1.43% of total loans, at March 31, 2021, compared to $84.2 million, or 1.43% of total loans, at December 31, 2020. The $1.5 million decrease in the ACL was due to: (i) lower general reserves of $1.0 million from portfolio mix, (ii) net charge-offs of $393 thousand, and (iii) lower specific reserves of $58 thousand. The ACL coverage of non-performing loans was 148% at March 31, 2021 compared to 230% at December 31, 2020.

Our ACL methodology and resulting provision continues to be impacted by the current economic uncertainty and volatility caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. 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 (MEVs) released by our model provider during March 2021. In contrast to the December 2020 forecasts, the March forecasts reflect a more favorable view of the economy (i.e. higher GDP growth rates and lower unemployment rates). While the forecasts are improving and the economy is showing signs of recovery with the rollout of the vaccine and additional government stimulus, there remains uncertainty regarding the ultimate impact of the pandemic and the pace of the recovery. Accordingly, our economic assumptions and the resulting ACL level and provision reflect these uncertainties. The ACL also incorporated qualitative factors to account for certain loan portfolio characteristics that are not taken into consideration by the third-party model including underlying strengths and weaknesses in the loan portfolio. As is the case with all estimates, the ACL is expected to be impacted in future periods by economic volatility, changing economic forecasts, underlying model assumptions, and asset quality metrics, all of which may be better than or worse than current estimates.

Ratios are presented on an annualized basis.

(2)

The ratios are determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). See Non-GAAP measures section for reconciliation of the calculation.

(3)

The ratio is calculated by dividing dividends declared per common share by basic earnings (loss) per common share.

(4)

Total revenue is equal to the sum of net interest income before provision for (reversal of) credit losses and noninterest income.

(5)

The ratios are calculated by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income before provision for credit losses and noninterest income.

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 common share, return on average tangible common equity, adjusted noninterest income, adjusted noninterest expense, adjusted noninterest expense to average 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 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.
