Banc of California Reports First Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Banc of California, Inc. (NYSE: BANC) today reported net loss available to common stockholders for the first quarter of 2020 of $9.7 million, or diluted loss per common share of $0.19.

First quarter results included:

  • Common Equity Tier 1 capital at 11.57%
  • Noninterest-bearing deposit balances increased $167.6 million to 23% of total deposits, up from 20%
  • Total DDA balances increased $206.1 million to 51% of total deposits
  • End of period deposit costs dropped to 0.89%; average total deposit costs decreased 16 basis points to 1.11%
  • Allowance for credit losses increased to 1.45% of total loans, up from 1.04%
  • Day 2 CECL provision for credit losses of $15.8 million

Jared Wolff, President & CEO of Banc of California, commented, “Our first quarter results demonstrate our continued progress transforming Banc of California into a relationship focused business bank. Our work over the past 15 months to de-risk our balance sheet created significant excess capital to help absorb first quarter COVID-19 and CECL-related provisions while remaining very well-capitalized. As a result of our ongoing balance sheet transformation, we have also substantially increased our noninterest-bearing and low-cost deposits as a percent of total deposits. For 2020, while remaining vigilant about credit, we will continue to look to improve the deposit franchise, remix our loan portfolio towards relationship lending, and opportunistically deploy capital for the benefit of shareholders, building franchise value for the long term.”

Mr. Wolff continued, "During this time of uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are focused on keeping our employees safe and healthy, so we can support our clients and our communities. We are actively assisting our clients who are experiencing disruption and hardship during these times. We are particularly proud of our colleagues who have been tireless in those efforts on the front lines and behind the scenes. At this time, we are demonstrating what true relationship banking is all about, solidifying relationships with existing clients and building new relationships as well."

Lynn Hopkins, Chief Financial Officer of Banc of California said, "We finished the first quarter in a strong financial position, with healthy capital levels, increased on-balance sheet liquidity, and continued growth in noninterest bearing and demand deposits. Net income was negatively impacted by a $15.8 million provision for credit losses under CECL and in response to the pandemic. Excluding the impact of the provision for credit losses and certain non-core expenses, pre-tax income was $10.6 million, and benefited from a $5 million reduction in core expenses that was set in motion before the crisis, and put us in a better position to operate with the lower revenues from the economic disruption and significant cuts in market interest rates. Our net interest margin held up relatively well at 2.97% against these rate cuts, as our dedicated and proactive deposit efforts lowered deposit costs another 16 basis points to an average of 1.11% for the first quarter, and ended the period with a spot rate of 89 basis points. This quarter marked the fifth consecutive quarter of growth in average noninterest-bearing deposits. While the economic outlook remains uncertain, our healthy reserves and strong capital position will serve the Company well with the potential challenges ahead, as we continue to focus on closely managing credit, actively improving the mix and cost of deposits, reducing expenses, and continuing to strengthen our balance sheet."

COVID-19 Operational Update

With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we successfully implemented our business continuity plan to enable our team to work remotely while continuing to serve our clients with as little disruption as possible. Early in March, we took meaningful steps to transition our team members to a "work from home" environment and we have over 80% of our team working remotely. We continue to operate 25 of our 31 branches as we temporarily consolidated some overlapping areas to ensure an adequate balance between employee and client safety and business continuity to meet our clients' banking needs. For the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) created by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), we redeployed resources to this program in support of our clients and others seeking financial relief under the program. As of April 28, 2020, we estimate we helped our clients save over 8,500 jobs through pending applications or approvals for more than $270 million in PPP funds. We expect to earn fees of just under 3% on the total amount that ultimately funds. We are actively engaged with our borrowers who are seeking payment relief and waiving certain fees for impacted clients.

Adoption of the Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) Model

On January 1, 2020, we adopted the new accounting standard, commonly known as CECL, which uses a current expected credit loss model for determining allowance for credit losses (ACL). Upon adoption, we recognized a Day 1 increase in the ACL of $6.4 million and a related after-tax decrease to retained earnings of $4.5 million. Our Day 1 ACL under the new CECL methodology totaled $68.1 million compared to $61.7 million under the incurred loss model at December 31, 2019, and represented 1.14% of total loans. We recorded a Day 2 provision for credit losses of $15.8 million which reflects the new CECL methodology using current economic forecasts and the estimated future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on lifetime credit losses. At March 31, 2020, the ACL totaled $82.1 million resulting in an ACL to total loans coverage ratio of 1.45%, up from 1.04% at December 31, 2019. The ACL and provision for credit losses include amounts for unfunded commitments.

Net interest income

Net interest income decreased $4.8 million to $51.9 million for the first quarter due to the combination of lower average interest-earning assets and a lower net interest margin. Average interest-earning assets declined from the prior quarter by $354.7 million to $7.03 billion, including a $440.4 million reduction in average loans to $5.78 billion, and our net interest margin declined 7 basis points to 2.97%.

The lower net interest margin was due to a 23 basis point decline in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 4.27%, partially offset by a 14 basis point decline on the average cost of interest bearing liabilities to 1.71%. The decline in the earning asset yield was due mostly to lower yields on most interest-earning asset classes due to originating new business and repricing variable rate loans and investments in the lower interest rate environment given the cuts in the federal funds target rates during the current and prior quarters. On a linked-quarter basis, our average yield on loans declined 15 basis points to 4.56% and our average yield on securities decreased 42 basis points. The average yield for variable rate collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) was 3.60% for the first quarter compared to 3.81% for the fourth quarter as this investment class reprices quarterly.

The 14 basis point decline in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 1.71% for the first quarter from 1.85% for the fourth quarter, was driven by the lower average cost of interest-bearing deposits and higher average noninterest-bearing deposits. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits declined 16 basis points to 1.41% from the prior quarter. Additionally, average noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $25.2 million, or 2.3%, and represented 21.4% of total average deposits in the first quarter. Our total cost of deposits decreased 16 basis points to 1.11% for the first quarter. The decrease in our funding cost is due to a lower reliance on high cost transaction accounts and wholesale funds as we have managed down the balance sheet and continue to execute on our strategy to focus on relationship clients.

Provision for credit losses

We recognized a provision for credit losses of $15.8 million under the CECL model compared to a recovery of credit losses of $3.0 million in the prior quarter under the incurred loss model. Our provision for credit losses includes $1.1 million related to unfunded commitments. The higher provision for credit losses was driven by using the new CECL model, the estimated future impact of the health crisis on our loans, and net charge-offs, partially offset by lower period end loan balances of $284.4 million. For the first quarter, approximately $19 million of the provision for credit losses was attributed to the change in the economic forecast.

Noninterest income

Noninterest income decreased $2.9 million, or 58%, to $2.1 million for the first quarter from the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of lower market interest rates on certain assets subject to fair value accounting including a $1.6 million decrease in the fair value of loans held for sale, a $333 thousand decrease in the fair value of customer-related loan swaps, and a $166 thousand decrease in the value of servicing assets due mostly to the impact of prepayment assumptions. In addition, the prior quarter included a $650 thousand insurance recovery; there was no similar insurance recovery in the current quarter. These decreases were offset in part by lower net losses on sales of loans of $860 thousand.

Noninterest expense

Noninterest expense decreased $564 thousand to $46.9 million for the first quarter compared to the prior quarter. Noninterest expense decreased due to: (1) lower salaries and benefits expense of $600 thousand primarily related to lower headcount and loan production-based incentives, (2) lower regulatory assessments of $1.4 million related to changes in the size of our asset base and an FDIC assessment credit, and (3) lower restructuring expense of $1.6 million as the prior quarter included certain severance costs compared to none in the current quarter. These decreases were offset in part by higher professional fees of $3.4 million as a result of the timing of certain legal costs and recoveries compared to the prior quarter, and a $866 thousand increase in loss on investments in alternative energy partnerships. The change in professional fees attributed to the timing difference of certain indemnified legal costs and recoveries was $1.7 million. When such indemnified legal costs and recoveries are excluded, professional fees would have decreased $1.9 million from the prior quarter and totaled $4.3 million for the first quarter. Other includes an $850 thousand charge to settle a legacy lending claim from an acquired bank; there was no similar item in the prior quarter. Total operating costs, defined as noninterest expense adjusted for certain non-core items (refer to section Non-GAAP Measures), decreased $5.0 million to $43.3 million for the first quarter compared to the prior quarter.

Income taxes

Income tax benefit totaled $2.2 million for the first quarter resulting in an effective tax rate of 24.7%. This compares to a $2.8 million expense for the fourth quarter and an effective tax benefit rate of 16.5%. The estimated effective tax rate for 2020 is approximately 25%.

Balance Sheet

At March 31, 2020, total assets were $7.66 billion, which represented a linked quarter decrease of $165.8 million, consistent with our strategic shift towards reducing non-core assets and focus on relationship lending. The following table shows selected balance sheet line items as of the dates indicated.

Investments

Securities available-for-sale increased $56.8 million to $969.4 million at March 31, 2020, primarily due to purchases of $147.4 million of corporate debt and government agency securities, offset by net CLO maturities of $30.0 million and a higher net unrealized loss of $59.9 million due to changes in market prices and expectations attributed mainly to the estimated impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CLOs are AA and AAA rated and the carrying value includes an unrealized net loss of $80.0 million. As of March 31, 2020, our securities portfolio included $623.6 million of CLOs, $243.4 million of agency securities, $54.4 million of municipal securities, and $47.9 million of corporate debt securities.

Held-for-investment loans decreased $284.4 million to $5.67 billion from the prior quarter, due mostly to lower single-family residential mortgage loans of $123.4 million, lower commercial and industrial (C&I) loans of $113.0 million, and lower multifamily loans of $28.4 million. The decline in single-family residential is attributed to accelerated payoffs as the loans refinance away in the lower rate environment and proceeds are invested in other core business loans. The decline in C&I loans is primarily in response to strategically reducing certain credit facilities in response to the changed economic landscape and corresponding lower outstanding balances. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic tempered loan production for the last part of the quarter and we did not experience any significant increase in credit line usage.

We continue to remix our real estate loan portfolio toward relationship-based multifamily, bridge, light infill construction, and commercial real estate loans. We are no longer originating single-family residential mortgage loans. Single-family residential mortgage and multifamily loans comprise 51.8% of the total held-for-investment loan portfolio as compared to 58.7% one year ago. Commercial real estate loans comprised 14.3% of the loan portfolio and commercial and industrial loans constituted 27.9%. Currently, loans secured by residential real estate (single-family, multifamily, single-family construction, and credit facilities) represent approximately 83% of our total loans outstanding.

The C&I portfolio has limited exposure to certain business sectors undergoing severe stress, as demonstrated by the following (as a percentage of total outstanding C&I loan balances):

Total deposits increased $135.7 million during the first quarter of 2020 to $5.56 billion due to higher noninterest-bearing checking balances of $167.6 million, interest-bearing checking balances of $38.5 million and brokered certificates of deposit balances of $208.7 million, offset by lower money market balances of $139.7 million, savings balances of $7.3 million, and non-brokered certificates of deposit balances of $132.1 million. We continue to focus on growing relationship-based deposits, strategically supplemented wholesale funding, as we proactively drive our funding costs down. Noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $1.26 billion and represented 22.6% of total deposits at March 31, 2020 compared to $1.09 billion and 20.1% at December 31, 2019 and $1.12 billion and 14.5% one year ago.

Advances from the FHLB decreased $217.0 million, or 18%, to $978.0 million, as of March 31, 2020, due to lower short term and overnight advances of $193.0 million and the maturity of $24.0 million in long term fixed-rate advances. At the end of the first quarter, FHLB advances included $90.0 million of overnight borrowings, $174.0 million maturing within three months, and $714.0 million maturing beyond three months with a weighted average life of 3.2 years and weighted average rate of 2.58%.

Equity

At March 31, 2020, total stockholders’ equity decreased by $72.2 million to $835.0 million on a linked-quarter basis, while tangible common equity decreased by $69.7 million to $606.4 million. The decrease in total stockholders’ equity related to the net loss of $6.6 million, the cumulative-effect adjustment of adoption of CECL of $4.5 million, dividends to common and preferred stockholders of $6.5 million, redemption of preferred stock of $1.6 million, repurchases of common stock under our previously announced share repurchase program of $12.0 million, and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net, of $42.2 million related to the lower fair value of CLOs and other securities available-for-sale.

In February 2020 we announced a share repurchase program for a total amount of $45.0 million and we repurchased 827,584 shares of common stock for an aggregate cost of $12.0 million. Given current macroeconomic conditions and the yet-to-be-determined impacts of the COVID-19 crisis, we have suspended common stock repurchases for the immediate future.

Capital ratios remain strong with total risk-based capital at 16.16% and a tier 1 leverage ratio of 11.20%. The following table sets forth our regulatory capital ratios at March 31, 2020 and the previous four quarters. The interim capital relief related to the adoption of CECL increased the Bank's leverage ratio approximately 10 basis points at March 31, 2020.

Credit quality remains strong. Total delinquent loans increased $27.4 million in the first quarter to $85.0 million at March 31, 2020, due to $43.1 million of additions, offset by $8.5 million returning to current status and $7.3 million of principal payments or payoffs. Delinquent loans includes primarily legacy single-family residential mortgage loans, which account for 84% of the balance and $28.0 million of the increase quarter over quarter. Excluding delinquent legacy single-family loans, delinquent loans are $13.6 million, or 0.24%, of total loans at March 31, 2020. We ceased originating single-family mortgage loans in the second quarter of 2019.

Non-performing loans totaled $56.5 million as of March 31, 2020, of which $21.5 million or 38% of the balance relates to loans in a current payment status. The $13.1 million increase during the first quarter was primarily due to $14.1 million of loans being placed on nonaccrual status, offset by cured loans and payoffs. The quarter-end balance includes two large loans with delinquent payment status that comprise 45% of our total nonperforming loans, consisting of one $16.4 million legacy shared national credit and a $9.1 million single-family mortgage residential loan with a loan-to-value ratio of 67%. Aside from those two loans, nonperforming loans total $31.0 million, of which 49% relates to legacy single-family residential mortgage loans.

In light of the COVID-19 crisis, we have provided support to clients by granting loan deferments, when requested and supported by our borrowers. As of April 27, in our SFR portfolio, we had 122 active deferments on $123 million of principal balances, or approximately 8% of the portfolio. With respect to our non-SFR loan portfolio, as of April 27, we had 68 active deferments on $257 million of principal balances or 6% of our non-SFR portfolio. As with our entire portfolio, we will continue to actively monitor and manage our lending relationships in a manner that supports our clients and protects the bank.

Represents the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses on January 1, 2020. As a result of adopting ASU 2016-13, our methodology to compute our allowance for credit losses is based on a current expected credit loss methodology, rather that the previously applied incurred loss methodology.

The allowance for expected credit losses, which includes the reserve for unfunded loan commitments, totaled $82.1 million, or 1.45% of total loans at March 31, 2020 compared to $61.7 million or 1.04% at December 31, 2019. The $20.4 million increase in the allowance reflects a higher provision due to the earlier recognition of losses under CECL and the impact of the change in the economic forecast scenarios as of quarter end, including the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on future losses. This increase includes a Day 1 transition adjustment amount of $6.4 million and a Day 2 provision of $15.8 million, offset by net charge-offs of $1.7 million. The net charge-offs included $1.1 million in C&I loans and $401 thousand in SFR mortgages. The ACL coverage of non-performing loans was 145% at March 31, 2020 compared to 142% at December 31, 2019.

Our ACL methodology and resulting provision is significantly impacted by the current economic uncertainty and volatility caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our ACL methodology uses a nationally-recognized, third party model that includes many assumptions based on our historical and peer loss data, our current loan portfolio risk profile, and economic forecasts. We used economic forecasts released by our model provider during the last week of March which included the onset of the pandemic. These forecasts included a sharp contraction in annualized GDP growth and a sharp spike in near-term unemployment rates ranging from 8% to 13%, before returning to moderate long-term economic trends. Our visibility at the end of the quarter indicated that local unemployment was heading higher and that the economic recovery would likely be slower. Accordingly, we incorporated qualitative factors to account for this visibility at quarter end related to actual conditions and an economic outlook that was worse than the late March forecasts incorporated into the CECL model. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and adoption of CECL, we expect our allowance for credit losses to continue to be impacted in future periods by economic volatility, changing economic forecasts, as well as the related impacts to CECL model assumptions, all of which may be better than or worse than our current estimate.

The reserve for loss on repurchased loans decreased by $600 thousand in the first quarter due to continued runoff of principal balances associated with the multifamily loan securitization and single-family residential mortgage loans previously sold. This reduction in the associated sold balances results in reduced anticipated losses from repurchases.

The Company will host a conference call to discuss its first quarter 2020 financial results at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time (PT) on Wednesday, April 29, 2020. Interested parties are welcome to attend the conference call by dialing (888) 317-6003, and referencing event code 5112344. A live audio webcast will also be available and the webcast link will be posted on the Company’s Investor Relations website at www.bancofcal.com/investor. The slide presentation for the call will also be available on the Company's Investor Relations website prior to the call.

Consolidated Operations
Non-GAAP Measures
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)

Under Item 10(e) of SEC Regulation S-K, public companies disclosing financial measures in filings with the SEC that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP must also disclose, along with each non-GAAP financial measure, certain additional information, including a presentation of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as a statement of the reasons why the company's management believes that presentation of the non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the company's financial condition and results of operations and, to the extent material, a statement of the additional purposes, if any, for which the company's management uses the non-GAAP financial measure.

Return on average tangible common equity and efficiency ratio, as adjusted, tangible common equity, tangible common equity to tangible assets, and tangible common equity per common share constitute supplemental financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are used by management in its analysis of the Company's performance.

Tangible common equity is calculated by subtracting preferred stock, goodwill, and other intangible assets from stockholders' equity. Tangible assets is calculated by subtracting goodwill and other intangible assets from total assets. Banking regulators also exclude goodwill and other intangible assets from stockholders' equity when assessing the capital adequacy of a financial institution.

Adjusted efficiency ratio is calculated by subtracting loss on investments in alternative energy partnerships from noninterest expense and adding total pre-tax return, which includes the loss on investments in alternative energy partnerships, to the sum of net interest income and noninterest income (total revenue). Management believes the presentation of these financial measures adjusting the impact of these items provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the final results and operating performance of the Company.

This disclosure should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

The following tables provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures with financial measures defined by GAAP.
