IRVINE, Calif.--()--Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PPBI) (the “Company”), the holding company of Pacific Premier Bank, reported net income for the second quarter of 2014 of $4.6 million, or $0.27 per diluted share. This compares with net income of $2.6 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2014 and a net loss of $249,000, or ($0.02) per share, for the second quarter of 2013.

For the first six months of 2014, the Company recorded net income of $7.3 million, or $0.42 per diluted share. This compares with net income of $1.7 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2013.

The Company had one-time merger-related expenses totaling $626,000 associated with the acquisition of Infinity Franchise Holdings, LLC (“Infinity Franchise Holdings”) in the first quarter of 2014, $5.0 million associated with the acquisition of San Diego Trust Bank (“San Diego Trust”) in the second quarter of 2013 and $1.7 million associated with the acquisition of First Associations Bank (“First Associations”) in the first quarter of 2013. Excluding one-time merger-related expenses during the reporting periods, the Company’s reported net income for the second quarter of 2014 of $4.6 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, compares to an adjusted net income of $3.0 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2014 and $3.0 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2013. Also excluding one-time merger-related expenses, the Company reported adjusted net income of $7.7 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2014, compares to an adjusted net income of $6.1 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2013.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company’s return on average assets was 1.06% and return on average equity was 9.79%, compared with an adjusted 0.73% return on average assets and an adjusted 6.64% return on average equity for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and an adjusted 0.86% return on average assets and an adjusted 7.59% return on average equity for the three months ended June 30, 2013. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company’s return on average tangible common equity was 11.96%, compared with 7.22% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and a minus 0.41% for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Steven R. Gardner, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented on the results, “The second quarter results reflect our employees’ ability to generate solid profitable growth. During the current quarter, we saw strong growth in net interest income and noninterest income while costs remained well contained. Following a number of quarters of elevated expenses related to acquisitions and upgrading our technology platform, we experienced a more normalized level of expenses in the second quarter. As a result, our efficiency ratio improved to 56.6%, which helped drive our return on tangible common equity to 11.96%.

“We had a very strong quarter of business development, resulting in $152 million in loan originations, which was well diversified with each of our major lending areas making significant contributions. Consistent with our focus on small- and middle-market business banking, nearly half of our loan production was in commercial and industrial loans. Our franchise lending group is providing an additional vehicle for C&I loan growth, contributing $28 million in loan originations in the second quarter, and the group continues to build its loan pipeline.

“Our strong loan growth outpaced deposit gathering in the second quarter moving our loan to deposit ratio to above 100%. We are comfortable running the business with an elevated ratio for a period of time. However, we anticipate seeing stronger deposit inflows in the second half of the year, driven by new customer relationships we are developing.

“With the diverse business mix we have developed, we see good opportunities to attract more commercial customers throughout Southern California. We believe that the greater Los Angeles area represents a largely untapped growth opportunity for Pacific Premier, and we are planning to steadily increase our penetration into this market in the coming quarters.”

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income totaled $17.7 million in the second quarter of 2014, up $1.1 million or 6.4% from the first quarter of 2014. The increase in net interest income primarily reflected an increase in the average interest-earning assets of $98.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in net interest margin of 4 basis points. The increase in average assets for the second quarter of 2014 included increases in loans of $107.6 million and cash and cash equivalents of $9.3 million, partially offset by a decrease in investment securities of $18.6 million. The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2014 was 4.26%, compared with 4.30% in the first quarter of 2014. The decrease in net interest margin was primarily attributable to a decrease in yield on average interest-earning assets of 2 basis points, primarily from lower yielding loans of 8 basis points, and higher interest-bearing liability costs of 2 basis points, primarily from higher deposit costs of 3 basis points. The weighted average loan portfolio rate at June 30, 2014 was 4.94%, compared to 5.00% at March 31, 2014. The 6 basis point decrease primarily reflected lower rates on loan originations during the second quarter of 2014.

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2014 increased $4.1 million or 30.2%, compared to the second quarter of 2013. The increase in net interest income was primarily related to an increase in interest-earning assets of $306.3 million, primarily related to the acquisition of San Diego Trust, which occurred in the second quarter of 2013, and organic loan growth, and an increase in net interest margin of 25 basis points. The increase in the net interest margin was primarily related to a higher yield on interest-earning assets of 23 basis points, as we deployed liquidity received from our acquisitions of First Associations and San Diego Trust to increase the level of higher yielding loans within interest-earning assets. The margin also benefited from a drop in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities by 4 basis points.

For the first six months of 2014, net interest income totaled $34.3 million, up $7.8 million or 29.6% over net interest income for the first six months of 2013. The increase reflected an increase in interest-earning assets of $370.9 million while the net interest margin remained unchanged at 4.28%. The increase in interest-earning assets was primarily related to the acquisitions of First Associations and San Diego Trust in the first and second quarters of 2013, respectively, and our organic loan growth. The net interest margin included a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets of 7 basis points along with an improved mix in higher yielding loans from leveraging the liquidity received from our acquisitions and a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities of 10 basis points with an improved mix of lower costing transaction accounts.

Provision for Loan Losses

We recorded a $1.0 million provision for loan losses during the second quarter of 2014, up from $949,000 for the first quarter of 2014 and $322,000 for the second quarter of 2013. The increase in the provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2014 was attributable to the growth in our loan portfolio. In the second quarter of 2014, we had net loan recoveries of $18,000, compared to net loan charge-offs of $464,000 in the first quarter of 2014 and $322,000 in the second quarter of 2013.

For the first six months of 2014, we recorded a $2.0 million provision for loan losses, up from $618,000 recorded for the first six months of 2013. The $1.4 million increase in the provision for loan losses was primarily attributable to the organic growth in our loan portfolio. Net loan charge-offs amounted to $446,000 for the first six months of 2014, down from $618,000 for the first six months of 2013. Substantially all of the charge-offs in 2014 were attributable to loans that we acquired from our FDIC-assisted transactions.

Noninterest income

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2014 was $2.5 million, up $419,000 or 20.4% from the first quarter of 2014. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily related to the following:

  • A $750,000 increase in net gain from sale of loans. During the second quarter of 2014, we sold $12.8 million in Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans at an overall premium of 10% and $276,000 in commercial non-owner occupied loans. That compares with sales of $4.7 million in SBA loans at an overall premium of 11% and $4.8 million in non-owner occupied and multi-family loans in the first quarter of 2014.
  • A $201,000 increase in other income. During the first quarter of 2014, we recorded a non-recurring $180,000 market value loss related to loans held for sale that were moved to loans held for investment.

Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease of $574,000 in loan servicing fees, primarily as the result of the receipt in the first quarter of 2014 of a $500,000 loan fee related to the assumption of an existing loan.

Compared with the second quarter of 2013, noninterest income for the second quarter of 2014 increased by $40,000 or 1.6%. The increase was primarily related to higher net gain from sale of loans of $1.1 million, partially offset by lower net gain from sale of investment securities of $970,000.

For the first six months of 2014, noninterest income totaled $4.5 million, up from $4.2 million for the first six months of 2013. The increase of $368,000 or 8.9% was primarily related to higher net gain from sale of loans of $901,000 and loan servicing fees of $494,000, partially offset by a lower net gain from sale of investment securities of $908,000 and other income of $197,000. The increase in loan servicing fees primarily related to a $500,000 loan fee associated with the assumption of an existing loan and the decrease in other income related to a nonrecurring $180,000 market value loss associated with loans held for sale, both of which occurred in the first half of 2014.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $11.6 million for the second quarter of 2014, down $1.9 million or 14.0%, compared with the first quarter of 2014. The decrease was primarily related to the following:

  • A $646,000 decrease in data processing and communications expense, primarily related to a nonrecurring $357,000 fee that was paid to terminate services from our payment processing system provider in the first quarter of 2014 and a more cost effective core operating system agreement;
  • A $626,000 decrease in one-time merger-related expenses associated with the first quarter acquisition of Infinity Franchise Holdings;
  • A $406,000 decrease in compensation and benefits costs, primarily related to lower employer payroll taxes in the second quarter, compared to the first quarter; and
  • A $208,000 decrease in legal, audit and professional fees, primarily related to a $192,000 fee paid in the first quarter of 2014 for services related to the upgrade in our core operating system.

Compared to the second quarter of 2013, noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2014 decreased by $4.2 million or 26.6%. The decrease was primarily related to a $5.0 million decrease in one-time merger-related expenses, a $533,000 decrease in expenses related to other real estate owned operations and a $270,000 decrease in data processing and communications expenses. These decreases were partially offset by increases in the second quarter of 2014 in compensation and benefits expense of $798,000, premises and occupancy of $237,000 and deposit expenses of $232,000. These increases were primarily due to our acquisitions, as well as employees added in lending and credit areas to increase our loan production.

For the first six months of 2014, noninterest expense totaled $25.2 million, down $1.9 million or 6.9% from the first six months of 2013. The decrease was primarily related to a $6.1 million decrease in one-time merger-related expenses and a decrease of $557,000 in expenses related to other real estate owned operations, partially offset by increases of $2.6 million in compensation and benefits, $833,000 in deposit expenses, $532,000 in premises and occupancy expense, $297,000 in other expense, $226,000 in data processing and communications expense and $167,000 in FDIC insurance premiums. The increases in expenses were primarily due to costs associated with our acquisitions and expansion of our lending platform to increase loan production.

The Company’s efficiency ratio was 56.56% for the second quarter of 2014, compared to 67.96% for the first quarter of 2014 and 67.79% for the second quarter of 2013. The improvement in the current quarter efficiency ratio was primarily from higher net interest income and gains from sales of loans along with lower data processing and communications expense. For the second quarter of 2014, the Company’s noninterest expense to average asset ratio was 2.66%, compared to 3.27% in the first quarter of 2014, and 2.96% for the second quarter of 2013.

Income Tax

For the second quarter of 2014, our effective tax rate was 38.08%, compared with a 37.3% for the first quarter of 2014 and a negative effective tax rate of 57.6% for the second quarter of 2013. Operating results during the second quarter of 2013 included $955,000 of one-time merger-related costs that were treated as non-deductible for tax purposes. These expenses were largely the cause for the negative effective tax rate. For the first half of 2014, our effective tax rate was 37.79%, compared to 42.4% for the first half of 2013. The referenced one-time merger-related costs also impacted the difference between the effective tax rate for the first half of 2014, compared to the first half of 2013.

Assets and Liabilities

At June 30, 2014, assets totaled $1.9 billion, up $176.2 million or 10.0% from March 31, 2014, and up $207.3 million or 12.1% from December 31, 2013. The increase in assets from March 31, 2014 was primarily related to increases in loans held for investment of $141.4 million, investment securities of $33.0 million and investments in stock of $4.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $4.1 million. The increase in assets since year-end 2013 was primarily related to loans held for investment of $226.6 million associated with organic loan growth and the acquisition of Infinity Franchise Holdings, which added assets at the acquisition date of $80.2 million. Partially offsetting those increases was a decrease in investment securities available for sale of $21.0 million and cash and cash equivalents of $6.5 million.

Investment securities available for sale totaled $235.1 million at June 30, 2014, up $33.0 million or 16.3% from March 31, 2014, but down $21.0 million or 8.2% from December 31, 2013. The increase in securities available for sale during the second quarter of 2014 was primarily due to purchases of $60.7 million and an increase in market value of $1.8 million, partially offset by sales totaling $21.8 million and principal pay downs of $7.2 million. The decrease in securities from December 31, 2013 was primarily related to sales of $77.8 million and principal pay downs of $13.4 million, partially offset by $66.3 million of investment security purchases and an improvement in unrealized loss on securities of $5.2 million. The purchase of investment securities primarily related to investing excess liquidity from our bank acquisitions, while the sales were made to help fund loan production and to improve our interest-earning asset mix by redeploying investment funds into loans.

Net loans held for investment totaled $1.46 billion at June 30, 2014, an increase of $140.3 million or 10.7% from March 31, 2014, and an increase of $225.1 million or 18.3% from December 31, 2013. The increase in loan balances since March 31, 2014 was primarily related to increases in commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans of $47.7 million, warehouse facilities loans of $33.0 million, multi-family loans of $28.3 million, commercial non-owner occupied loans of $26.8 million, construction loans of $17.2 million and SBA loans of $4.1 million, partially offset by decreases in one-to-four family loans of $9.4 million and commercial owner occupied loans of $7.1 million. The increase in loans from December 31, 2013 included increases in C&I loans of $132.5 million, primarily from the acquisition of Infinity Franchise Holdings which added $78.8 million of total loans at the acquisition date, as well as increases in real estate loans of $64.0 million, warehouse facility loans of $26.5 million and SBA loans of $4.5 million, partially offset by decreases in one-to-four family loans of $13.2 million and commercial owner occupied loans of $4.3 million.

Loan activity during the second quarter of 2014 included loan originations of $152.2 million, of which $104.8 million were funded at origination, and loan purchases of $54.2 million, partially offset by loan repayments of $45.4 million, loan sales of $13.0 million and an increase in undisbursed loan funds of $7.3 million. During the second quarter of 2014, our loan originations were diversified across loan type and included $70.9 million in C&I loans, which consisted in part of $27.7 million in franchise business loans, $27.4 million in construction loans, $26.5 million in commercial non-owner occupied loans, $16.8 million in SBA loans, and $5.7 million in commercial owner occupied loans. Loan originations for the second quarter of 2014 had a weighted average rate of 5.05%, compared to a weighted average rate of 4.98% in the first quarter of 2014. At June 30, 2014, our loan to deposit ratio was 101.4%, up from 92.4% at March 31, 2014 and 95.2% at December 31, 2013.

At June 30, 2014, total deposits were $1.45 billion, up $10.4 million or 0.7% from March 31, 2014, and up $139.3 million or 10.7% from December 31, 2013. The increase in deposits since March 31, 2014 was primarily related to increases in certificates of deposit of $16.5 million and money market of $5.9 million, partially offset by a decrease in interest-bearing checking of $8.4 million. The increase in deposits since year-end 2013 included increases in certificates of deposit of $57.5 million, noninterest bearing checking of $44.1 million, money market of $31.5 million and interest-bearing checking of $8.0 million.

The total end of period weighted average cost of deposits at June 30, 2014 was 0.36%, up from 0.34% at March 31, 2014 and 0.33% at December 31, 2013.

At June 30, 2014, total borrowings amounted to $265.6 million, up $159.8 million or 151.0% from March 31, 2014 and $51.2 million or 23.9% from December 31, 2013. The change in borrowings primarily related to overnight Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances used to supplement the funding of loans as deposit levels fluctuate. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2014, repurchase agreement debt related to our home owners associations (“HOA”) business decreased $219,000 to $16.8 million. At June 30, 2014, total borrowings represented 13.8% of total assets and had an end of period weighted average cost of 0.61%, compared with 6.1% of total assets at a weighted average cost of 1.22% at March 31, 2014 and 12.5% of total assets at a weighted average cost of 0.63% at December 31, 2013.

GAAP Reconciliations
 

For periods presented below, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate these figures by excluding merger-related expenses in period results. Management believes that the exclusion of such items from these financial measures provides useful information to an understanding of the operating results of our core business. 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, adjusted net income and adjusted average tangible common equity are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate these figures by adjusting net income for the effect of CDI amortization and exclude the average CDI and average goodwill from the average stockholders' equity during the period. Management believes that the exclusion of such items from these financial measures provides useful information to an understanding of the operating results of our core business. 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.

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 stockholders' 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 share, which we calculate by dividing common stockholders' equity by 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.
