Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PPBI) (the “Company” or “Pacific Premier”), the holding company of Pacific Premier Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income of $47.0 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024, compared with net loss of $135.4 million, or $1.44 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2023, and net income of $62.6 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2023.

For the first quarter of 2024, the Company’s return on average assets (“ROAA”) was 0.99%, return on average equity (“ROAE”) was 6.50%, and return on average tangible common equity (“ROATCE”)⁽¹⁾ was 10.05%, compared to (2.76)%, (19.01)%, and (28.01)%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2023, and 1.15%, 8.87%, and 13.89%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2023. Total assets were $18.81 billion at March 31, 2024, compared to $19.03 billion at December 31, 2023, and $21.36 billion at March 31, 2023.

Steven R. Gardner, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President of the Company, commented, “Our team delivered solid first quarter financial performance with net income of $47.0 million, or $0.49 per share, reflecting a full quarter’s benefit from the securities portfolio repositioning as our net interest margin expanded 11 basis points to 3.39%. Our commitment to prudent and proactive risk, liquidity, and capital management in the current dynamic environment continues to drive strong capital levels that rank amongst the top of our peers, with our TCE⁽¹⁾ ratio increasing 25 basis points to 10.97%.

“On the business development front, our dedicated relationship managers, retail branch bankers, and treasury management teams continue to successfully collaborate to expand our client base and deepen existing client relationships. During the first quarter, total deposits increased by $192 million, driven by a $120 million increase in non-maturity deposits, enabling us to further reduce FHLB borrowings by $400 million. Some of the quarterly deposit inflows were seasonal in nature, which we expect to reverse as we move through the year.

“First quarter asset quality trends remained strong, although nonperforming loans increased to $63.8 million, primarily the result of a single, diversified, Pacific Northwest commercial banking relationship, wherein the borrower remains current on all payments. Our team is actively engaged with the client and continues to approach the relationship consistent with our longstanding proactive approach to credit risk management.

“With our strong capital levels combined with our significant loss absorbing capacity, we have strategically positioned the company to perform in a variety of economic and credit scenarios. There are a number of factors contributing to an uncertain outlook, including ongoing inflationary pressures, interest rate volatility, and domestic and international geopolitical risks. Our franchise has been built on a culture of risk management and a proactive approach to building sustainable franchise value. We will continue to manage the business proactively and prudently while leveraging the strength of our relationship banking teams to capitalize on compelling opportunities as they may arise. I would like to thank all Pacific Premier employees for their outstanding efforts during the quarter, as well as all of our stakeholders for continuing to support our organization.”

INCOME STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income totaled $145.1 million in the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 1.1%, from the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease in net interest income was primarily attributable to lower average interest-earning asset balances, a higher cost of funds, and one less day of interest, partially offset by higher yields on interest-earning assets, as well as lower average borrowings.

The net interest margin for the first quarter of 2024 increased 11 basis points to 3.39%, from 3.28% in the prior quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher yields on investment securities as a result of a full quarter's benefit from the securities repositioning to higher-yielding available-for-sale (“AFS”) Treasury securities, partially offset by a higher cost of funds.

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2024 decreased $23.5 million, or 13.9%, compared to the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was attributable to a higher cost of funds and lower average interest-earning asset balances, partially offset by lower average interest-bearing liabilities and higher yields on average interest-earning assets, all the result of the higher interest rate environment and the Company's balance sheet management strategies to prioritize capital accumulation.

Provision for Credit Losses

For the first quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a $3.9 million provision expense, compared to $1.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, and $3.0 million for the first quarter of 2023. The provision for credit losses was largely attributable to increases associated with economic forecasts, partially offset by changes to the overall size and composition of the loan portfolio.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2024 was $25.8 million, an increase of $260.0 million from the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was related to the investment securities portfolio repositioning which resulted in a loss of $254.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2023. Excluding the prior quarter's loss, noninterest income increased $5.9 million, primarily due to a $5.1 million gain on debt extinguishment resulting from an early redemption of a $200.0 million Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”) term advance as well as a $1.3 million increase in trust custodial account fees driven by annual tax fees earned during the current quarter.

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2024 increased $4.6 million compared to the first quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to a $5.1 million gain on debt extinguishment resulting from an early redemption of a $200.0 million FHLB term advance during the current quarter.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $102.6 million for the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of $137,000 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. The results were impacted by a $523,000 FDIC special assessment in the first quarter of 2024 and a $2.1 million FDIC special assessment during the fourth quarter of 2023. Excluding the special assessments, noninterest expense increased $1.4 million, primarily due to a $2.2 million increase in compensation and benefits related to higher payroll taxes and the annual equity-based compensation awards, as well as a $1.5 million increase in deposit expense due to higher deposit earnings credit rates, partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in other expense.

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2024 increased by $1.3 million compared to the first quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to a $4.2 million increase in deposit expense, partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in legal and professional services and a $935,000 decrease in premises and occupancy.

For the first quarter of 2024, income tax expense totaled $17.4 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 27.0%, compared with income tax benefit of $56.5 million and an effective tax rate of 29.4% for the fourth quarter of 2023, and income tax expense of $22.9 million and an effective tax rate of 26.8% for the first quarter of 2023. The income tax benefit in the prior quarter was primarily attributable to the pretax loss from sales of AFS securities recorded for the fourth quarter of 2023, driven by the Company's balance sheet repositioning.

BALANCE SHEET HIGHLIGHTS

Loans

Loans held for investment totaled $13.01 billion at March 31, 2024, a decrease of $276.9 million, or 2.1%, from December 31, 2023, and a decrease of $1.16 billion, or 8.2%, from March 31, 2023. The decrease from December 31, 2023 was primarily due to lower loan production and fundings, as well as a decrease in credit line draws, partially offset by slower loan prepayments and maturities.

During the first quarter of 2024, new loan commitments totaled $45.6 million, and new loan fundings totaled $14.0 million, compared with $128.1 million in loan commitments and $103.7 million in new loan fundings for the fourth quarter of 2023, and $116.8 million in loan commitments and $66.9 million in new loan fundings for the first quarter of 2023. During the first quarter of 2024, new origination activity remained muted given the uncertain economic and interest rate outlook as well as softer borrower demand.

At March 31, 2024, the total loan-to-deposit ratio was 85.7%, compared to 88.6% and 82.4% at December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses

At March 31, 2024, our allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on loans held for investment was $192.3 million, a decrease of $131,000 from December 31, 2023, and a decrease of $3.0 million from March 31, 2023. The decrease in the ACL from December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023 reflects the relative changes in size and composition in our loans held for investment, partially offset by changes in economic forecasts.

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company incurred $6.4 million of net charge-offs, primarily related to the sale of special mention and substandard CRE and franchise loans during the quarter, compared to $3.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2023, and $3.3 million during the first quarter of 2023.

The following table provides the allocation of the ACL for loans held for investment as well as the activity in the ACL attributed to various segments in the loan portfolio as of and for the period indicated:

Investment Securities

At March 31, 2024, AFS and held-to-maturity (“HTM”) investment securities were $1.15 billion and $1.72 billion, respectively, compared to $1.14 billion and $1.73 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2023, and $2.11 billion and $1.75 billion, respectively, at March 31, 2023.

In total, investment securities were $2.87 billion at March 31, 2024, an increase of $4.9 million from December 31, 2023, and a decrease of $987.4 million from March 31, 2023. The increase in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the prior quarter was primarily the result of $170.2 million in purchases and a decrease of $1.9 million in AFS investment securities mark-to-market unrealized loss, partially offset by $167.3 million in principal payments, amortization and accretion, and redemptions.

The decrease in investment securities from March 31, 2023 was primarily the result of $1.52 billion in sales of AFS investment securities and $410.9 million in principal payments, discounts from the AFS securities transferred to HTM, partially offset by $722.7 million in purchases of AFS and HTM investment securities and a decrease of $219.0 million in AFS securities mark-to-market unrealized loss.

Deposits

At March 31, 2024, total deposits were $15.19 billion, an increase of $192.2 million, or 1.3%, from December 31, 2023, and a decrease of $2.02 billion, or 11.7%, from March 31, 2023. The increase from the prior quarter was largely driven by increases of $169.2 million in money market and savings, $110.3 million in retail certificates of deposit, and $64.8 million in noninterest-bearing checking, partially offset by reductions of $114.0 million in interest-bearing checking and $38.1 million in brokered certificates of deposit. The decrease from March 31, 2023 was attributable to the decreases of $1.21 billion in noninterest-bearing checking and $1.17 billion in brokered certificates of deposit.

At March 31, 2024, non-maturity deposits⁽¹⁾totaled $12.82 billion, or 84.4% of total deposits, an increase of $120.0 million, or 0.9%, from December 31, 2023, and a decrease of $1.39 billion, or 9.8%, from March 31, 2023. The increase from prior quarter was largely driven by seasonal deposit growth within our HOA business. The decrease from the first quarter of 2023 was attributable to the continued effect of clients prepaying or paying down loans and redeploying funds into higher yielding alternatives.

At March 31, 2024, maturity deposits totaled $2.37 billion, an increase of $72.2 million, or 3.1%, from December 31, 2023, and a decrease of $631.1 million, or 21.1%, from March 31, 2023. The increase in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the prior quarter was primarily driven by an increase of $110.3 million in retail certificates of deposit, partially offset by the reduction of $38.1 million in brokered certificates of deposit. The decrease from March 31, 2023 was primarily driven by decreases in brokered certificates of deposit.

The weighted average cost of total deposits for the first quarter of 2024 was 1.59%, compared to 1.56% for the fourth quarter of 2023, and 0.94% for the first quarter of 2023. The increases in the weighted average cost of deposits for the first quarter of 2024, compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2023, were principally driven by higher pricing across deposit categories. The weighted average cost of non-maturity deposits⁽¹⁾ for the first quarter of 2024 was 1.06%, compared to 1.02% for the fourth quarter of 2023, and 0.54% for the first quarter of 2023.

At March 31, 2024, the end-of-period weighted average rate of total deposits was 1.66%, compared to 1.55% at December 31, 2023, and 1.15% at March 31, 2023. At March 31, 2024, the end-of-period weighted average rate of non-maturity deposits was 1.12%, compared to 1.04% at December 31, 2023, and 0.61% at March 31, 2023.

At March 31, 2024, the Company’s FDIC-insured deposits as a percentage of total deposits was 60%. Insured and collateralized deposits comprised 66% of total deposits at March 31, 2024, which was the same level at December 31, 2023.

GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS

PACIFIC PREMIER BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Unaudited)

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. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures. As other companies may use different calculations for these adjusted measures, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled adjusted measures reported by other companies.

For periods presented below, return on average assets excluding net loss from investment securities repositioning and FDIC special assessment is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP based amounts. We calculate this figure by excluding the net loss from investment securities repositioning during the fourth quarter of 2023, the FDIC special assessment, and the related tax impact from net income. Management believes that the exclusion of such nonrecurring items from this financial measure provides useful information to gain an understanding of the operating results of our core business and a better comparison of financial performance.

For periods presented below, return on average tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate this figure by excluding amortization of intangible assets expense from net income and excluding the average intangible assets and average goodwill from the average stockholders' equity during the periods indicated. Management believes that the exclusion of such items from this financial measure provides useful information to gain an understanding of the operating results of our core business. The adjusted net income, adjusted return on average equity, and adjusted return on average tangible common equity further exclude the nonrecurring items to provide a better comparison to the financial results of prior periods.

The adjusted basic earnings per common share and adjusted diluted earnings per common share are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP based amounts. We calculate the adjusted basic earnings per common share by dividing net income allocable to common shareholders, excluding the net loss from investment securities repositioning during the fourth quarter of 2023, the FDIC special assessment, and the related tax impact, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period, excluding outstanding participating securities. The adjusted diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income allocable to common shareholders, excluding the net loss from investment securities repositioning, FDIC special assessment, and the related tax impact, by the weighted average number of diluted common shares outstanding over the reporting period, adjusted to include the effect of potentially dilutive common shares based on adjusted net income, but excludes awards considered participating securities. The computation of diluted earnings per common share excludes the impact of the assumed exercise or issuance of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect. Management believes that the exclusion of such items from this financial measure provides useful information to gain an understanding of the operating results of our core business and a better comparison of financial performance.

Pre-provision net revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate the pre-provision net revenue by excluding income tax and provision for credit losses from net income. The adjusted pre-provision net income further excludes the net loss from investment securities repositioning during the fourth quarter of 2023 and the FDIC special assessment to provide a better comparison of financial performance. Management believes that the exclusion of such items from this financial measure provides useful information to gain an understanding of the operating results of our core business and a better comparison to the financial results of prior periods.

Efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP-based amounts. This figure represents the ratio of noninterest expense, less amortization of intangible assets and other real estate owned operations, where applicable, to the sum of net interest income before provision for credit losses and total noninterest income less (loss) gain from investment securities, (loss) gain from other real estate owned, and gain from debt extinguishment. The adjusted efficiency ratio further excludes the FDIC special assessment to provide a better comparison to the financial results of prior periods. Management believes that the exclusion of such items from this financial measure provides useful information to gain an understanding of the operating results of our core business.

Tangible book value per share and tangible common equity to tangible assets (the “tangible common equity ratio”) are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate tangible book value per share by dividing tangible common equity by common shares outstanding, as compared to book value per share, which we calculate by dividing common stockholders' equity by shares outstanding. We calculate the tangible common equity ratio by excluding the balance of intangible assets from common stockholders' equity and dividing by tangible assets. We believe that this information is consistent with the treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios. Accordingly, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide information that is important to investors and that is useful in understanding our capital position and ratios.

Cost of non-maturity deposits is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP-based amounts. Cost of non-maturity deposits is calculated as the ratio of non-maturity deposit interest expense to average non-maturity deposits. We calculate non-maturity deposit interest expense by excluding interest expense for all certificates of deposit from total deposit expense, and we calculate average non-maturity deposits by excluding all certificates of deposit from total deposits. Management believes cost of non-maturity deposits is a useful measure to assess the Company's deposit base, including its potential volatility.
