PacWest Bancorp Announces Results for the Second Quarter of 2015


Highlights

  • Net Earnings of $85.1 Million, or $0.83 Per Diluted Share; Adjusted Net Earnings of $72.5 Million, or $0.70 Per Diluted Share
  • Core Net Interest Margin at 5.27%; Core Tax Equivalent Net Interest Margin at 5.33%
  • New Loan and Lease Originations of $658.7 Million
  • Core Deposits Increased $387.2 Million in the Quarter and are 52% of Total Deposits

LOS ANGELES, July 15, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PacWest Bancorp (Nasdaq:PACW) today announced net earnings for the second quarter of 2015 of $85.1 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, compared to net earnings for the first quarter of 2015 of $73.1 million, or $0.71 per diluted share. When certain income and expense items described below are excluded, adjusted net earnings were $72.5 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $65.0 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2015. The increase in adjusted net earnings is largely the result of higher adjusted noninterest income and a lower provision for credit losses as compared to the first quarter.

Matt Wagner, President and CEO, commented, "The results of our second quarter on both a reported and adjusted basis continue to demonstrate our sustained earning power and strong capital position. Although the negative net loan and lease growth for the quarter was a disappointment, our first quarter originations were well above our expectations and the current loan and lease pipeline is robust. We continue to expect high single digit growth for the full year."

Mr. Wagner continued, "Our Non-PCI credit metrics are good. The allowance coverage ratio increased to 0.78%, nonaccruals decreased a bit and classified loans and leases increased. The classified balances move from quarter to quarter due mainly to the relative size of credits within the portfolio. Nevertheless, we believe our credit loss exposure on classified credits is minimal. Our exposure to credits related to support services to the oil and gas industries improved moderately, showing declines in both outstandings and nonaccrual balances."

Mr. Wagner commented on the status of the Square 1 merger stating, "We continue to look forward to closing the Square 1 merger in the fourth quarter of 2015, as we expect regulatory and stockholder approvals to come in the normal course. The integration team, composed of senior employees of both PacWest and Square 1, has been working for months on the integration plan, and we expect once final regulatory approval is received, the integration will be completed quickly."

Vic Santoro, Executive Vice President and CFO stated, "Second quarter deposit growth was very good, with total deposits increasing $648 million and core deposits increasing $387 million. We were particularly pleased with the deposits generated in the CapitalSource Division, which increased to $456 million at the end of June from $303 million at the end of March. Although we continue to make progress towards our goal of remixing the Bank's deposit base, the Square 1 merger is expected to accelerate that process."

Mr. Santoro continued, "Our core net interest margin remains very strong at 5.27%, with the corresponding tax equivalent NIM at 5.33%. We continue to closely control operating expenses as shown by the adjusted efficiency ratio of 40.6% in the second quarter. Our focus for the remainder of 2015 will be loan and lease growth, core deposit growth, expense control and the successful integration of Square 1."

INCOME STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased $3.5 million to $202.6 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $199.1 million for the first quarter of 2015 due to increased FHLB dividends, higher average loan and lease balances, higher accelerated discount accretion from early payoffs of acquired loans, and one more day in the second quarter. Net interest margin ("NIM") for the second quarter of 2015 was 5.83% compared to 5.89% for the first quarter of 2015, and the loan and lease yield was 6.75% compared to 6.80% for the first quarter of 2015.  The decreases in the NIM and loan yield were both due to higher nonaccrual loan and lease average balances in the second quarter and the payoffs of higher-yielding loans and leases. Accelerated discount accretion from early payoffs of acquired loans was $19.4 million in the second quarter of 2015 (64 basis points on the loan and lease yield) compared to $17.4 million in the first quarter of 2015 (58 basis points on the loan and lease yield).

The cost of total deposits increased to 0.37% from 0.36% in the prior quarter due primarily to a $0.5 million decrease in the amount of premium accretion on the time deposits acquired in the CapitalSource merger. The repricing of maturing time deposits at current rates and new time deposit production resulted in the decline in the weighted average contractual interest rate on time deposits to 0.71% at June 30, 2015 from 0.72% at March 31, 2015.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income decreased by $1.3 million to $19.6 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $20.9 million for the first quarter of 2015 due mostly to lower foreign currency translation net gains (losses) and lower gains (losses) on sale of securities offset by higher dividends and realized gains on equity investments and higher other commissions and fees. Foreign currency translation net gains (losses) decreased $4.0 million from the prior quarter and are based upon movement of the U.S. Dollar against various foreign currencies, principally the Euro. We hedged our Euro-denominated trust preferred issuance in June to reduce the related foreign currency translation volatility. The gain on sale of securities was $3.3 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared to a net loss of $0.2 million for the second quarter; all sales related to on-going portfolio risk management activities. Dividends and realized gains on equity investments tend to fluctuate from period to period based upon actual dividends received and sales activity. The second quarter included the sale of three equity investments at a net gain of $6.0 million; there were no similar sales in the first quarter. The $1.7 million increase in other commissions and fees was due to higher loan prepayment fees and is driven by the level of loan payoff activity.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense increased by $0.9 million to $85.3 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $84.4 million for the first quarter of 2015. The increase was due mostly to higher insurance and assessments expense of $1.7 million, higher compensation expense of $1.3 million and higher loan-related expense of $1.1 million, offset by lower foreclosed assets expense of $2.7 million and lower acquisition, integration and reorganization costs of $1.1 million. Insurance and assessments expense increased due to the FDIC insurance assessment being calculated under the "large-bank" method starting in the second quarter. Compensation expense increased due to higher stock-based compensation expense, staff pay raises that took effect towards the end of the first quarter and higher incentive accruals. Loan-related expense increased due to lower recoveries of legal costs specifically and lower loan-related expenses generally. The first quarter included a $1.7 million recovery of legal costs compared to a $0.6 million recovery in the second quarter related to the same matter. Foreclosed assets expense decreased due to higher gain on sale of foreclosed assets in the second quarter. Acquisition, integration and reorganization costs will fluctuate from period to period based on the timing and amount of acquisition and integration activities related to the pending acquisition of Square 1 Financial, Inc.

Income Taxes

Our overall effective income tax rate was 34.7% for the second quarter of 2015 and 38.7% for the first quarter of 2015. The decline in the effective rate is related to utilization of a portion of the capital loss carryforward and adjustments to certain deferred tax assets. We expect that the effective tax rate for calendar year 2015 will be approximately 38.0%.

BALANCE SHEET HIGHLIGHTS

Loans and Leases

Total loans and leases decreased $238.0 million in the second quarter to $12.0 billion at June 30, 2015.  Second quarter originations of $658.7 million were offset by payoffs and principal repayments of $889.7 million resulting in the net decrease.

Credit Exposure Affected by Low Oil Prices

During the latter half of 2014, oil prices declined significantly. During 2015, per-barrel prices have remained low. As oil prices began to decline, we increased our credit monitoring of loans and leases where borrowers and lessees are affected by low oil prices. 

At June 30, 2015, we had 29 outstanding loan and lease relationships totaling $177.2 million to borrowers involved in the oil and gas industry, down from $181.4 million at March 31, 2015. The obligors under these loans and leases provide industrial support services to the oil and gas industries. The collateral for these loans and leases primarily includes equipment, such as drilling equipment and transportation vehicles, used directly and indirectly in these activities. At June 30, 2015, four relationships totaling $64.2 million were on nonaccrual status and were classified, down from $65.1 million at March 31, 2015.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

We made a provision for credit losses of $6.5 million in the second quarter of 2015 and $16.4 million in the first quarter of 2015 in accordance with our allowance methodology, which takes into consideration new loan and lease fundings, commitments to make loans and leases and underlying credit quality trends. The second quarter provision was comprised of a $5.0 million provision for Non-PCI loans and leases and a provision of $1.5 million for PCI loans. The $6.5 million provision, combined with net recoveries of $1.5 million, increased the allowance for credit losses by $8.0 million in the second quarter. The allowance for Non-PCI credit losses to Non-PCI loans and leases coverage ratio increased to 0.78% at June 30th from 0.72% at March 31st. The provision for PCI loans results from decreases in expected cash flows on such loans.

The following tables show roll forwards of the allowance for credit losses for the periods indicated:

Non-PCI loans and leases at June 30, 2015, include $6.3 billion of originated loans and leases that were not obtained through acquisitions. The allowance for loan and lease losses related to these loans and leases totals $72.4 million, or 1.16% of the outstanding balance.

All acquired loans are recorded initially at their estimated fair value with such initial fair value including an estimate of credit losses. Two additional credit coverage ratios shown in the table below are presented to give an indication of overall credit risk coverage:

(1) Allowance attributed to $5.6 billion and $6.2 billion of acquired Non-PCI loans at June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, based on the allowance calculation that includes an amount for credit deterioration on acquired loans and leases since their acquisition dates.
(2) Unamortized net discount relates to $5.6 billion and $6.2 billion of acquired Non-PCI loans at June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, and is assigned specifically to those loans only. Such discount represents the acquisition date fair value adjustment based on market, liquidity, interest rate risk and credit risk and is being accreted to interest income over the remaining life of the respective loans using the interest method. Use of the interest method results in steadily declining amounts being taken into income in each reporting period. Assuming all of these loans continue to make payments according to their terms and there are no prepayments and no deterioration in credit quality, the remaining discount of $103.3 million at June 30, 2015 is expected to be fully accreted to income by the end of 2018.

The decrease in adjusted coverage ratios results from the combination of newly originated loans being provided for at a rate lower than the current coverage ratio and normal and accelerated accretion of unamortized discount.

GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION

This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial disclosures for adjusted net earnings, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average equity, return on average tangible equity, adjusted return on average tangible equity, tangible common equity amounts and ratios, tangible book value per share, adjusted efficiency ratio, core net interest margin, and operating expense as a percentage of average assets. The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company's operational performance and to enhance investors' overall understanding of such financial performance:

  • Adjusted net earnings: To calculate adjusted net earnings, we exclude from net earnings primarily income statement items for which the related assets or liabilities have been completely resolved and are no longer on the balance sheet. As analysts and investors view this measure as an indicator of the Company's ability to generate recurring earnings, we disclose this amount in addition to net earnings.
     
  • Adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average equity, return on average tangible equity, adjusted return on average tangible equity, tangible common equity amounts and ratios, and tangible book value per share: Given that the use of these measures is prevalent among banking regulators, investors and analysts, we disclose them in addition to return on average assets, return on average equity, equity-to-assets ratio, and book value per share, respectively.
     
  • Adjusted efficiency ratio: We disclose this measure in addition to efficiency ratio as it shows the trend in recurring overhead-related noninterest expense relative to recurring net revenues.

Please refer to the tables on the following pages for a presentation of performance ratios in accordance with GAAP and a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the GAAP financial measures.
