IRVINE, Calif.--()--Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PPBI) (the “Company”), the holding company of Pacific Premier Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income for the first quarter of 2013 of $2.0 million or $0.13 per share on a diluted basis, down from $3.8 million or $0.32 per share on a diluted basis for the fourth quarter of 2012. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, our return on average assets was 0.67% and return on average equity was 5.65%, down from a return on average assets of 1.42% and a return on average equity of 14.07% for the fourth quarter of 2012. The decrease in our net income and returns was primarily related to one-time costs of $2.0 million recorded in connection with the acquisition of First Associations Bank (“First Associations”) on March 15, 2013 and the pending merger with San Diego Trust Bank that is expected to close in the third quarter of 2013.

Steven R. Gardner, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the results, “We are not satisfied with our first quarter performance as it was impacted by compression in our net interest margin and a lower level of loan production than we expected. Our end-of-period loan balances declined from the prior quarter primarily due to a decrease in our warehouse lending business of $56.8 million and the payoff of lower quality credits primarily in the multi-family portfolio. We did benefit during the quarter from an increase in commercial and industrial and owner occupied commercial real estate loans, some of which we acquired from First Associations.

“We took concrete steps during the quarter that we expect will positively impact future business. Our business development efforts gained momentum as we moved through the first quarter as evidenced by our loan pipeline that more than doubled to $185 million at March 31, 2013. The growth in the pipeline came from all of our various lending business units. Over the past few months, we have added several experienced bankers that have enhanced our ability to develop additional relationships in our C&I, CRE, SBA, HOA and warehouse lending businesses. We believe the investments we have made in talent, systems and infrastructure along with the closing of the First Associations acquisition has provided us with multiple avenues for generating profitable loan growth going forward.

“With the closing of the First Associations acquisition, we expect to offset pressure on our net interest margin through a decrease in interest expense due to the low cost deposits we acquired. Following the acquisition of First Associations, our spot rate for cost of deposits declined to 37 basis points at March 31, 2013, compared with a spot rate of 51 basis points at the end of the prior quarter. Our deposit base continues to improve as core transaction accounts now comprise 71% of the deposit base. We also have more than $240 million of CDs at a weighted average rate of 88 basis points that will mature over the rest of 2013, with much of those maturities coming in the third and fourth quarter of this year. As we reprice these CDs and/or replace them with lower-costing deposits, we should see a continued reduction in our cost of deposits, an overall improvement of the deposit mix and enhancement of our net interest margin.

“Finally, we are very excited about our pending acquisition of San Diego Trust Bank. We believe San Diego will be another strong growth market for us, and the synergies between our two banks should result in significant benefits being created for the customers, employees and shareholders of each company,” said Mr. Gardner.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income totaled $12.9 million in the first quarter of 2013, up $278,000 or 2.2% compared to the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase in net interest income reflected higher average interest-earning assets of $99.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in net interest margin to 4.62%. The increase in average interest-earning assets during the first quarter of 2013 was primarily from a $57.8 million increase in loans, a $27.3 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, and a $14.1 million increase in securities. The decrease in the net interest margin of 26 basis points is primarily attributable to a decrease in yield on average interest-earning assets of 39 basis points, primarily from a decrease in loan portfolio yield and a lower mix of higher yielding loans. Partially offsetting this decrease was lower deposit costs of 10 basis points from a decrease in costs and an improved mix of lower costing deposits. The loan yield decline of 34 basis points primarily reflected a lower portfolio weighted average rate that decreased 14 basis points to 5.30% at March 31, 2013, and a reduction in the collection of back interest and deferred fee recognition on loan payoffs.

Compared to the first quarter of 2012, net interest income for the first quarter of 2013 increased $2.9 million or 28.5%. The increase in net interest income reflected an increase in average interest-earning assets of $201.3 million or 21.6% in the current quarter to $1.1 billion and a higher net interest margin of 4.62% in the current quarter, compared with 4.31% in the first quarter of 2012. The increase in average interest-earning assets for the period was primarily due to an increase in average loans, which were up $229.7 million primarily associated with organic loan growth, loan purchases and acquisitions. The increase in the current quarter net interest margin of 31 basis points primarily reflected a decrease in the cost of deposits of 41 basis points, partially offset by the decrease in our interest-earning asset yield of 11 basis points.

Provision for Loan Losses

We recorded a $296,000 provision for loan losses during the first quarter of 2013, compared with $606,000 provision for loan losses for the fourth quarter of 2012. Stable credit quality metrics and the recent charge-off history within our loan portfolio were significant factors in estimating the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses. Net loan charge-offs amounted to $296,000 in the first quarter of 2013, up $26,000 from $270,000 experienced during the fourth quarter of 2012.

There was no provision for loan loss recorded in the first quarter of 2012, compared to $296,000 recorded in the first quarter of 2013. Compared to the first quarter of 2012, net loan charge-offs decreased $110,000.

Noninterest income

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2013 amounted to $1.7 million, down $1.5 million or 46.0% compared to the fourth quarter of 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to the 2012 fourth quarter gain on sales of investment securities of $922,000, as there were no sales of securities in the first quarter of 2013, and net gain on the sale of our corporate offices and associated fixed assets of $597,000. Factoring out these two items, noninterest income increased $49,000, primarily from an increase in gain from the sales of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans.

Compared to the first quarter of 2012, noninterest income increased $785,000. The increase was primarily related to net gains of $723,000 from the sale of $5.0 million of SBA loans in the first quarter of 2013, compared with no sales in the year-ago quarter, and higher loan servicing fees of $149,000, partially offset by lower deposit fees of $61,000.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $11.2 million for the first quarter of 2013, up $2.2 million or 24.5%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase primarily related to one-time costs associated with the First Associations acquisition of $1.7 million and included higher:

  • Compensation and benefits costs of $650,000 primarily from increased health care expense, employee count as we added employees in lending and credit areas to increase our production of commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans, commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans, SBA loans, homeowner association (“HOA”) loans, warehouse facilities and a construction loan manager to oversee the origination of construction loans and employer payroll taxes;
  • Premises and occupancy costs of $145,000 primarily related to rental expense of our new corporate headquarters needed for business expansion; and
  • Other expense of $215,000 primarily due to a higher provision for off-balance sheet commitment expenses of $96,000 and HOA management company fees of $65,000.

Partially offsetting these increased expenses was lower other real estate owned (“OREO”) operations expense of $635,000. Additionally, included in legal, audit and professional expense were legal fees of $337,000 related to our pending acquisition of San Diego Trust Bank.

Compared to the first quarter of 2012, noninterest expense increased $4.5 million or 68.3%. The increase primarily related to one-time costs associated with the First Associations acquisition of $1.7 million, as well as higher compensation and benefits costs of $1.6 million, premises and occupancy costs of $415,000, other expense of $393,000 and data processing and communications costs of $268,000, all of which primarily related to acquisition and business expansion initiatives over the past year.

Assets and Liabilities

At March 31, 2013, assets totaled $1.4 billion, up $421.5 million or 42.8% from March 31, 2012 and up $232.9 million or 19.8% from December 31, 2012. The increase since year-end 2012 was primarily related to the First Associations acquisition, partially offset by the payoff of $87.0 million of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowings and a decrease in loans held for investment of $66.8 million, excluding the loans acquired from First Associations. The increase from March 31, 2012 was predominately related to two acquisitions: the First Associations acquisition in March of 2012, which included at the acquisition date $222.4 million in securities, $124.7 million in cash, $26.4 million in loans, $11.9 million in goodwill and $8.7 million in other types of assets, and the acquisition of Palm Desert National Bank (“Palm Desert National”) from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), as receiver, in April of 2012, which included at the acquisition date $63.8 million in loans, $39.5 million in cash, $11.5 million in OREO and $6.1 million in other types of assets.

Investment securities available for sale totaled $301.2 million at March 31, 2013, up $150.4 million or 99.8% from March 31, 2012 and up $217.1 million or 258.2% from December 31, 2012. The increase over both period ends was primarily due to the First Associations acquisition, which added $222.4 million in investment securities available for sale at the acquisition date. During the first quarter of 2013, principal payments of $5.8 million partially offset the securities acquired from First Associations.

Net loans held for investment totaled $933.8 million at March 31, 2013, an increase of $246.8 million or 35.9% from March 31, 2012 and a decrease of $40.4 million or 4.1% from December 31, 2012. The decrease in loans from the end of the prior quarter was primarily related to a decline in loan balances of our warehouse facilities of $56.8 million, multi-family loans of $17.3 million, including sub-performing credits totaling $14.9 million, and one-to-four residential loans of $10.4 million, partially offset by increases in C&I loans of $25.2 million and owner occupied CRE loans of $15.6 million.

During the first quarter of 2013, commitments on our warehouse repurchase facility credits increased $42.7 million to total $313.9 million with our end of period utilization rates for these loans dropping from 73.4% at December 31, 2012 to 44.3% at March 31, 2013. Although our end of period balances for warehouse facilities decreased, our average daily outstanding balance increased $12.5 million to $145.3 million when comparing the first quarter of 2013 with the fourth quarter of 2012. The first quarter of 2013 included loan originations of $89.8 million, partially offset by an increase in undisbursed loan funds of $107.0 million, loan repayments of $45.2 million, and loan sales of $5.0 million. At March 31, 2013, the loan to deposit ratio was 79.7%, down from 82.1% at March 31, 2012 and 109.0% at December 31, 2012.

Deposits totaled $1.2 billion at March 31, 2013, up $339.0 million or 40.0% from March 31, 2012 and up $281.0 million or 31.1% from December 31, 2012. The increase over both prior periods was predominately related to the First Associations acquisition, which added deposits of $356.8 million at a cost of 21 basis points at the closing of the acquisition, partially offset by First Associations deposits held by the Bank prior to acquisition of $78.5 million. Additionally, the increase from March 31, 2013 from March 31, 2012 included deposits of $80.9 million at the closing of the Palm Desert National acquisition, excluding the runoff of $34.1 million in wholesale certificates shortly after closing.

The increase in deposits during the first quarter of 2013 included interest-bearing transaction accounts of $189.9 million and noninterest-bearing accounts of $102.9 million, partially offset by a decrease in retail certificates of deposit of $16.2 million. At March 31, 2013, we had $4.4 million in CDARS deposits assumed in the First Associations acquisition. The total end of period cost of deposits at March 31, 2013 decreased to 0.37%, from 0.75% at March 31, 2012 and from 0.51% at December 31, 2012. At March 31, 2013, we had certificates of deposit maturing in the second quarter of $37.2 million at a weighted average rate of 0.72%, in the third quarter of $82.6 million at a weighted average rate of 0.95% and in the fourth quarter of $122.8 million at a weighted average rate of 0.89%.

At March 31, 2013, total borrowings amounted to $54.5 million, up $15.7 million or 40.4% from March 31, 2012. During the first quarter of 2013, total borrowings decreased $71.3 million or 56.7%, primarily related to the reduction of FHLB overnight advances taken out primarily to fund loans, partially offset by $15.7 million in repurchase agreement debt assumed in the acquisition of First Associations. This repurchase agreement debt was offered as a service to certain former First Associations depositors that adds protection for deposit amounts above FDIC insurance levels. Total borrowings at March 31, 2013 represented 3.9% of total assets and had an end of period weighted average cost of 2.29%, compared with 3.9% of total assets and at a weighted average cost of 3.28% at March 31, 2012 and 10.7% of total assets at a weighted average cost of 1.19% at December 31, 2012.

Asset Quality

At March 31, 2013, nonperforming assets totaled $4.7 million or 0.33% of total assets, down from $5.5 million or 0.55% of total assets at March 31, 2012, but up from $4.5 million or 0.38% of total assets at December 31, 2012. During the first quarter of 2013, nonperforming loans increased $896,000 to total $3.1 million and OREO decreased $697,000 to total $1.6 million.

Our allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2013 was $8.0 million, down from $8.1 million at March 31, 2012 and equal to the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2012. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of nonaccrual loans was 257.7% at March 31, 2013, up from 219.6% at March 31, 2012, but down from 362.4% at December 31, 2012. At March 31, 2013, the ratio of allowance for loan losses to total gross loans was 0.85%, down from 1.17% at March 31, 2012, but up from 0.81% at December 31, 2012.

Capital Ratios

On January 9, 2013, the Company issued 495,000 new shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $10.00 per share in connection with the exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters as part of an underwritten public offering that was completed on December 11, 2012. The net proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment option, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, was $4.7 million. During March of 2013, the Company injected $8.7 million of the proceeds from the offering into the Bank, which enhanced the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios.

At March 31, 2013, our ratio of tangible common equity to total assets was 10.16%, with a tangible book value of $9.15 per share, basic book value per share of $10.21 and diluted book value per share of $10.13.

At March 31, 2013, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements with a ratio for tier 1 leverage capital of 12.55%, tier 1 risked-based capital of 14.43% and total risk-based capital of 15.23%. These capital ratios exceeded the “well capitalized” standards defined by the federal banking regulators of 5.00% for tier 1 leverage capital, 6.00% for tier 1 risked-based capital and 10.00%, for total risk-based capital. At March 31, 2013, the Company had a ratio for tier 1 leverage capital of 12.84%, tier 1 risked-based capital of 14.61% and total risk-based capital of 15.40%.

(1) Tangible common equity to tangible assets (the "tangible common equity ratio") and tangible book value per share are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate the tangible common equity ratio by excluding the balance of intangible assets from common shareholders' equity and dividing by tangible assets. We calculate tangible book value per share by dividing tangible common equity by common shares outstanding, as compared to book value per basic share, which we calculate by dividing common shareholders' equity by basic shares outstanding. We believe that this information is consistent with the treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which exclude 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. 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 measures, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures of tangible common equity and tangible book value per share to the GAAP measures of common stockholder’s equity and book value per share is set forth below.
