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 2017 of $9.5 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared with net income of $12.0 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2016 and net income of $8.6 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2016. Financial results for the first quarter of 2017 include $4.9 million of merger-related expenses.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company’s return on average assets was 0.94% and return on average tangible common equity was 11.03%. For the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company's return on average assets was 1.24% and the return on average tangible common equity was 14.17%. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company's return on average assets was 1.05% and its return on average tangible common equity was 12.31%.

Steven R. Gardner, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented on the results, “We delivered another quarter of profitable balance sheet growth driven by well-balanced loan production and strong inflows of core deposits. As in the past, the first quarter benefited from the seasonal nature of the HOA deposit inflows. We had $455 million in loan originations, with more than $70 million in originations in each of our commercial, commercial real estate, construction and franchise lending businesses. Our disciplined, consistent approach to business development and expertise in a wide range of business banking markets continues to drive our success in attracting quality relationships to the Bank.

“We were very excited to complete our acquisition of Heritage Oaks Bancorp, effective April 1, 2017. We were able to close the acquisition in less than four months after signing the definitive agreement, which reflects the highly efficient process we have developed for completing our transactions. The integration of Heritage Oaks is proceeding smoothly, and we look forward to steadily growing our presence in the California Central Coast market.

“We continue to be optimistic about our opportunities to drive profitable growth in 2017. In addition to the synergies we expect from the Heritage Oaks acquisition, we anticipate continuing to generate strong organic growth. Our loan and deposit pipelines remain very healthy, which should result in a continuation of our positive balance sheet trends and further growth in revenue and earnings,” said Mr. Gardner.

INCOME STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income totaled $41.7 million in the first quarter of 2017, a decrease of $601,000 or 1.4% from the fourth quarter of 2016. The decrease in net interest income reflected two fewer days in the quarter, lower accretion on the fair value discount of acquired loans and lower loan prepayment fees, as well as the special Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco ("FHLB") dividend received during the fourth quarter of 2016, all of which was partially offset by an increase in average interest-earning assets of $186 million. The increase in average interest-earning assets during the first quarter of 2017 was primarily related to record organic loan originations, with average loan balances increasing $137 million, and to a lesser extent, increases in our securities portfolio during the quarter.

The decrease in the net interest margin from 4.59% to 4.39% was primarily due to the decrease in accretion and loan prepayment income, as well as last quarter's special FHLB dividend. Core net interest margin, which excludes the impact of accretion and other one-time items, was 4.27% in the first quarter of 2017 compared to 4.32% in the fourth quarter of 2016, with accretion contributing 12 basis points in the first quarter of 2017 as compared to 18 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2016. The first quarter of 2017 and fourth quarter of 2016 core net interest margin includes the benefit of loan prepayments, which added 8 and 14 basis points to each quarter, respectively. Our core investment portfolio yield improved to 2.58% compared with 2.31% from the prior quarter, excluding the fourth quarter FHLB special dividend of $492,000, and core loan yields were 4.96% and 4.94% without the benefit of loan prepayments, and 5.06% and 5.10% with loan prepayments for the first quarter and fourth quarter, respectively.

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2017 increased $7.5 million or 21.9% compared to the first quarter of 2016. The increase was related to an increase in average interest-earning assets of $748 million, which resulted primarily from our organic loan growth since the end of the first quarter of 2016. Our net interest margin decreased 4 basis points to 4.39% from the prior year margin of 4.43%. The decrease was driven by an 8 basis point decrease in the yield on earning assets, partially offset by a 3 basis point decrease in cost of funds.

Provision for Loan Losses

A provision for loan losses was recorded for the first quarter of 2017 in the amount of $2.5 million, compared with a provision for loan losses of $2.1 million for the quarter ending December 31, 2016. Strong loan growth and net loan charge-offs of $723,000 contributed to the increase.

Noninterest income

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2017 was $4.7 million, an increase of $365,000, or 8.5% from the fourth quarter of 2016. The increase from the fourth quarter of 2016 was primarily related to a $424,000 increase in net gain from the sale of loans as we realized a slightly higher net gain rate on the sale of $30 million of SBA loans in the first quarter compared to the fourth quarter, and higher sales of other loans in the first quarter compared to the fourth quarter, which had gains of $224,000, compared to $0 for the fourth quarter of 2016.

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2017 decreased $165,000, or 3.4%, compared to the first quarter of 2016. The Company had lower net gain from the sales of investment securities of $753,000 and lower recoveries of $455,000 from pre-acquisition charge-offs, which were partially offset by an increase of $905,000 in net gain from sales of loans.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $29.7 million for the first quarter of 2017, an increase of $4.4 million, or 17.2%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily driven by merger-related expenses of $4.9 million in the first quarter of 2017 for the Heritage Oaks Bancorp ("Heritage Oaks") acquisition compared with $772,000 for the fourth quarter of 2016. In addition, the Company had higher compensation and benefits expenses of $1.1 million, partially offset by a $357,000 reduction in OREO expenses and a $338,000 reduction to the off-balance sheet reserve related to a funded letter of credit charge-off.

In comparison to the first quarter of 2016, noninterest expense grew by $6.1 million or 25.9%. The increase in expense was primarily related to the additional costs from the personnel and branches retained from the acquisition of Security Bank of California ("SBOC"), combined with our continued investment in personnel to support our organic growth in loans and deposits. In addition, the Company had higher merger-related expenses of $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2017, compared to the first quarter of 2016.

Income Tax

For the first quarter of 2017, our effective tax rate was 32.7%, compared with 37.7% for the fourth quarter of 2016 and 40.2% for the first quarter of 2016. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily the result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Accounting, which went into effect for the Company on January 1, 2017. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09, the Company began recognizing the tax effects of exercised or vested awards as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur, resulting in a $1.1 million tax benefit to the Company for the first quarter of 2017. The Company expects the tax rate to rise to normalized levels of 38-39% starting in the second quarter.

BALANCE SHEET HIGHLIGHTS

Loans

Loans held for investment totaled $3.39 billion at March 31, 2017, an increase of $144 million, or 4.4%, from December 31, 2016, and an increase of $534 million, or 18.7%, from March 31, 2016. The increase from December 31, 2016, was primarily due to growth in commercial real estate, franchise, commercial and industrial loans and construction lending.

FORWARD-LOOKING COMMENTS

The statements contained herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements based on management's current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the Company. Such statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond the control of the Company. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be the same as those anticipated by management. The Company cautions readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct operations; the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; the timely development of competitive new products and services and the acceptance of these products and services by new and existing customers; the willingness of users to substitute competitors’ products and services for the Company’s products and services; the impact of changes in financial services policies, laws and regulations (including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act) and of governmental efforts to restructure the U.S. financial regulatory system; technological changes; the effect of acquisitions that the Company may make, if any, including, without limitation, the failure to achieve the expected revenue growth and/or expense savings from its acquisitions; changes in the level of the Company’s nonperforming assets and charge-offs; any oversupply of inventory and deterioration in values of California real estate, both residential and commercial; the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted from time-to-time by bank regulatory agencies, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other accounting standards setters; possible other-than-temporary impairment of securities held by us; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; the effects of the Company’s lack of a diversified loan portfolio, including the risks of geographic and industry concentrations; ability to attract deposits and other sources of liquidity; changes in the financial performance and/or condition of our borrowers; changes in the competitive environment among financial and bank holding companies and other financial service providers; unanticipated regulatory or judicial proceedings; and the Company’s ability to manage the risks involved in the foregoing. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are discussed in the 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K of Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc. filed with the SEC and available at the SEC’s Internet site (http://www.sec.gov).

GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
                             
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.
