Banc of California, Inc. (NYSE: BANC) (“Banc of California”), parent of wholly-owned subsidiary Banc of California (the “Bank”), today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023. On November 30, 2023, Banc of California and PacWest Bancorp closed their transformational merger, creating California’s premier business bank. As of December 31, 2023, Banc of California had total assets of $38.5 billion.

“Following the merger with PacWest, we have created California’s premier relationship-focused business bank.”

– Jared Wolff, President & CEO

Fourth quarter highlights include:

  • As a result of the impact of the merger and the balance sheet repositioning, total assets of $38.5 billion increased $1.7 billion and total loans increased $3.6 billion, or 16% from the prior quarter, resulting in a year-end loans to deposits ratio of 84%.
  • Total deposits of $30.4 billion increased $3.8 billion, an increase of 14% from the prior quarter, and noninterest-bearing deposits of $7.8 billion increased $2.2 billion, or 39% from the prior quarter. Borrowings decreased $3.4 billion, or 54% from the prior quarter.
  • Completed asset sales of $6.1 billion and completed paydown of $8.6 billion high-cost funding related to the balance sheet repositioning, which improved the mix of earning assets and reduced higher cost funding. Wholesale fundings as a percentage of total assets down to 17%, compared to 28% in the prior quarter.
  • Improved overall deposit mix, with the period-end noninterest-bearing deposit percentage increasing from 21% of total deposits at the prior quarter-end to 26% at year-end and brokered time deposits decreasing from 15% of total deposits at the prior quarter-end to 12% at year-end.
  • Significant decrease in unrealized losses on securities, with unrealized losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) of $434 million at year-end compared to $879 million at the prior quarter-end, resulting from security sales and decreased market forward rates in the fourth quarter.
  • High liquidity levels, with immediately available on-balance sheet liquidity and unused borrowing capacity of $17.2 billion, which was 2.5 times greater than uninsured and uncollateralized deposits. Cash as a percentage of total assets was 14%, down from 17% in the prior quarter.
  • Strong capital ratios well above the regulatory thresholds for "well capitalized" banks, including an estimated 16.40% Total risk-based capital ratio, 12.42% Tier 1 capital ratio, 10.12% CET1 capital ratio and 9.00% Tier 1 leverage ratio.
  • Allowance for credit losses of 1.22%, up from 1.15% at the prior quarter-end after a provision for credit losses of $47.0 million, which includes a $22.2 million initial provision related to non-purchased credit deteriorated (“non-PCD”) loan balances.
  • Strong credit quality, with year-end nonperforming loans to total loans at 0.29%, down from 0.57% at the prior quarter-end.
  • Increased stockholders’ equity as a result of the merger, with total stockholders’ equity increasing by $1.0 billion in the fourth quarter resulting in book value per share of $17.12 and tangible book value per share(1) of $14.96.

Non-GAAP measure; refer to section 'Non-GAAP Measures'

Jared Wolff, President & CEO of Banc of California, commented, “Since closing our transformational merger with PacWest Bancorp on November 30, 2023, we have made excellent progress on the integration and the balance sheet repositioning actions that we indicated at the time of the merger announcement. As a result, we have created the well capitalized, highly-liquid financial institution we envisioned, with significant earnings potential and a strong position in key California markets.”

Mr. Wolff continued, “As we move through 2024, we will realize more of the benefits of our balance sheet repositioning, which will positively impact our net interest margin, as well as steadily reduce our noninterest expense as we complete the system conversion in the second quarter of 2024 and consolidate some of our branches that are in close proximity to each other. While we will remain conservative in our new loan production until economic conditions improve, we are already seeing the positive benefits of being a larger, stronger financial institution on our business development efforts. Given the strength of our franchise and the superior level of service, solutions and expertise that we can provide, we believe we have great opportunities to consistently add attractive client relationships that provide both operating deposit accounts and high quality loans, particularly given the significant changes we have seen over the past two years in the California banking landscape with many competitors exiting or significantly pulling back from the market. We believe we are well-positioned to deliver strong financial performance for our shareholders in 2024, as well as capitalize on the strong market position we have created in California to greatly enhance the value of our franchise in the coming years.”

Presentation of Results – PacWest Bancorp Merger

On November 30, 2023, PacWest Bancorp merged with and into Banc of California (the “Merger”), with Banc of California continuing as the surviving legal corporation and Banc of California concurrently closed a $400 million equity capital raise. The Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger using the acquisition method of accounting, therefore, PacWest Bancorp was deemed the acquirer for financial reporting purposes, even though Banc of California was the legal acquirer. The Merger was an all-stock transaction and has been accounted for as a business combination. Banc of California’s financial results for all periods ended prior to November 30, 2023 reflect PacWest Bancorp results only on a standalone basis. In addition, Banc of California’s reported financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023 reflect PacWest Bancorp financial results only on a standalone basis until the closing of the Merger on November 30, 2023, and results of the combined company for the month of December 2023. The number of shares issued and outstanding, earnings per share, and all references to share quantities or metrics of Banc of California have been retrospectively restated to reflect the equivalent number of shares issued in the Merger as the Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger. Under the reverse merger method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of legacy Banc of California as of November 30, 2023 were recorded at their respective estimated fair values.

The Company recorded a net loss of $492.9 million, or a loss of $4.55 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2023. This compares to a net loss of $33.3 million, or a loss of $0.42 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2023. The fourth quarter of 2023 included pre-tax amounts of $442.4 million of losses on security sales relating to our previously announced balance sheet repositioning strategy, merger costs of $111.8 million, an FDIC special assessment of $32.7 million, and an initial credit provision on acquired loans of $22.2 million, in each case in connection with our merger with PacWest Bancorp. The fourth quarter also included borrowing facility and termination fees of $19.5 million, additional expenses related to the HOA business of $16.8 million, and various nonrecurring expenses of approximately $8.7 million.

Net Interest Income

Q4-2023 vs Q3-2023

Net interest income increased by $20.3 million, or 15.5%, to $151.1 million for the fourth quarter due primarily to a change in the interest-earning asset mix combined with net interest margin expansion.

Average interest-earning assets of $35.4 billion decreased by $0.4 billion from the prior quarter due to the sales of loans and securities, partially offset by acquired legacy Banc of California interest-earning assets. The net interest margin increased by 24 basis points to 1.69% for the fourth quarter as the yield on average interest-earning assets increased by 29 basis points, while the cost of average total funds increased by 7 basis points. The net interest margin for the month of December 2023 was 2.15% and the estimated spot net interest margin at December 31, 2023 was 2.75%.

The yield on average interest-earning assets increased by 29 basis points to 5.23% for the fourth quarter from 4.94% in the third quarter due mainly to the change in the interest-earning asset mix driven by the increase in the balance of average loans and leases as a percentage of average interest-earning assets from 62% to 67%, the decrease in the balance of average investment securities as a percentage of average interest-earning assets from 19% to 17%, and the balance of average deposits in financial institutions as a percentage of average interest-earning assets from 19% to 16%. The yield on average loans and leases increased by 28 basis points to 5.82% during the fourth quarter as a result of higher discount accretion income and changes in portfolio mix from loan sales and acquired loans and leases.

The cost of average total funds increased by 7 basis points to 3.68% for the fourth quarter from 3.61% in the third quarter due mainly to higher market interest rates on borrowings. The cost of average total deposits decreased by 4 basis points to 2.94% for the fourth quarter compared to 2.98% in the third quarter. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased by 17 basis points to 4.51% for the fourth quarter from 4.34% in the third quarter. Average noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $0.5 billion for the fourth quarter compared to the third quarter and average total deposits increased by $0.6 billion.

The estimated spot rates, or exit run-rates, at December 31, 2023 were 6.18% for loans and leases and 5.63% for interest-earning assets. The spot rates at December 31, 2023 were 2.69% for total deposits and 2.99% for the total cost of funds.

Full Year 2023 vs Full Year 2022

Net interest income decreased by $543.6 million, or 42.1%, to $747.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 from the same period in 2022, due primarily to higher funding costs from higher market interest rates, changes in the balance sheet mix, and the enhanced liquidity management strategies in the first half of 2023 due to the operating environment.

The net interest margin decreased by 151 basis points to 1.98% as the cost of average total funds increased by 260 basis points, while the yield on average interest-earning assets increased by 101 basis points.

The yield on average interest-earning assets increased by 101 basis points to 5.21% for the year ended December 31, 2023 from 4.20% for the same period in 2022 due mainly to higher market interest rates, partially offset by the changes in the mix of average interest-earning assets. The yield on average loans and leases increased by 85 basis points to 5.92% for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The yield on average investment securities increased by 20 basis points to 2.56% for the same period. Average loans and leases represented 67% of average interest-earnings assets for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to 70% for the year ended December 31, 2022. Average loans and leases decreased by $714.1 million due mainly to loan sales during the year to increase liquidity to fund potential deposit outflows.

The cost of average total funds increased by 260 basis points to 3.34% for the year ended December 31, 2023 from 0.74% for the year ended December 31, 2022 due mainly to higher market interest rates and changes in the balance sheet mix. The cost of average total deposits increased by 202 basis points to 2.61% for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased by 296 basis points to 4.14% for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to 1.18% for the same period in 2022 driven primarily by a 249 basis point increase in the cost of average interest-bearing deposits to 3.46% from 0.97% for the same period in 2022. The increase in the cost of these funding sources was due mainly to the impact of higher market interest rates. Average noninterest-bearing deposits decreased by $6.5 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 and average total deposits decreased by $5.6 billion. Average noninterest-bearing deposits represented 25% of total average deposits for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to 40% for the same period in 2022.

Provision For Credit Losses

Q4-2023 vs Q3-2023

The provision for credit losses was $47.0 million for the fourth quarter and included an initial provision of $22.2 million for acquired legacy Banc of California non-PCD loans. Outside this initial provision, the quarter’s expense was driven by $13.2 million of net charge-offs and a need for increased quantitative reserves resulting from revising the economic forecast to reflect a 60% probability weighting on recessionary scenarios and updating expected prepayment speeds based on a high interest rate environment. There was no provision for credit losses for the third quarter which included an $8.0 million provision for loan losses related to higher qualitative reserves on office loans, offset by an $8.0 million reversal of the provision for credit losses related to lower unfunded loan commitments.

Full Year 2023 vs Full Year 2022

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the provision for credit losses was $52.0 million and included a $113.5 million provision for loan losses, offset partially by a $61.5 million reversal of the provision for credit losses related to lower unfunded loan commitments. The provision for loan losses included an initial provision of $22.2 million for acquired legacy Banc of California non-PCD loans. The provision for credit losses was $23.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2022, and included a $5.0 million provision for loan losses and an $18.0 million provision related to higher unfunded loan commitments.

Noninterest Income

Q4-2023 vs Q3-2023

Noninterest income decreased by $444.2 million to a loss of $400.4 million for the fourth quarter due almost entirely to an increase in the loss on sale of securities of $442.4 million. As part of our balance sheet repositioning strategy, we sold $2.7 billion of legacy PacWest available-for-sale securities in the fourth quarter resulting in losses of $442.4 million. Additionally, we sold $0.8 billion of legacy Banc of California available-for-sale securities in December 2023 resulting in no gain or loss as these securities were marked to fair value at the close of the merger.

Full Year 2023 vs Full Year 2022

Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2023 decreased by $523.1 million to a loss of $448.3 million compared to the same period in 2022 due mainly to a $392.1 million increase in the loss on the sale of securities and a $161.9 million increase in the loss on the sale of loans, offset partially by higher dividends and gains from equity investments, higher leased equipment income, and higher other income primarily from legal settlements totaling $22.1 million.

Noninterest Expense

Q4-2023 vs Q3-2023

Noninterest expense increased by $162.5 million to $363.6 million for the fourth quarter compared to the third quarter. The increase was due mainly to acquisition, integration and reorganization costs of $111.8 million related to our merger with PacWest, an increase in insurance and assessments expense of $21.7 million, which includes $32.7 million for the FDIC special assessment, an increase of $18.9 million in customer related expense, and higher compensation expense of $17.7 million.

Full Year 2023 vs Full Year 2022

Noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased by $1.7 billion to $2.5 billion compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was due mainly to higher (i) goodwill impairment of $1.3 billion, (ii) acquisition, integration and reorganization costs of $136.9 million, (iii) regulatory assessments of $110.2 million due to the special FDIC assessment and the generally-applicable FDIC increased assessment rates in 2023, (iv) customer related expense of $68.8 million, and (v) other expense of $96.8 million, including $106.8 million of unfunded commitments fair value loss adjustments, offset partially by lower compensation expense of $74.5 million.

Income Taxes

Q4-2023 vs Q3-2023

An income tax benefit of $177.0 million was recorded for the fourth quarter resulting in an effective tax rate of 26.8% compared to a benefit of $3.2 million for the third quarter and an effective tax rate of 12.1%.

Full Year 2023 vs Full Year 2022

Income tax benefit totaled $312.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, representing an effective tax rate of 14.1%, compared to tax expense of $144.0 million and an effective tax rate of 25.4% for the year ended December 31, 2022. The lower effective tax rate in 2023 was primarily due to the effect of the non-deductible goodwill impairment.

Securities

The balance of securities held-to-maturity (“HTM”) remained consistent through the fourth quarter and totaled $2.3 billion at December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, HTM securities had aggregate unrealized net after-tax losses in AOCI of $181.4 million remaining from the balance established at the time of transfer on June 1, 2022. These HTM unrealized losses are related to changes in overall interest rates.

Securities available-for-sale (“AFS”) decreased by $2.1 billion during the fourth quarter to $2.3 billion at December 31, 2023, due primarily to legacy PacWest securities sales of $2.7 billion, offset partially by a reduction in the unrealized net pre-tax losses. The decrease in unrealized net losses was due to the impact of lower market interest rate forward curves. AFS securities had aggregate unrealized net after-tax losses in AOCI of $252.2 million. These AFS unrealized net losses related primarily to changes in overall interest rates and spreads and the resulting impact on valuations.

Total loans and leases ended the fourth quarter of 2023 at $25.5 billion, up $3.6 billion from $21.9 billion at September 30, 2023, due primarily to the addition of $6.1 billion of legacy Banc of California loans at fair value, partially offset by sales of legacy Banc of California loans totaling $2.2 billion in December as part of the balance sheet repositioning. The loan sales consisted of $1.5 billion of single-family loans and $0.7 billion of multi-family loans. Loan fundings were $212.2 million in the fourth quarter at a weighted-average rate of 7.37%.

Total deposits increased by $3.8 billion during the fourth quarter of 2023 to $30.4 billion at December 31, 2023, due primarily to balances acquired in the merger, partially offset by a decrease in brokered deposits.

Noninterest-bearing checking totaled $7.77 billion and represented 26% of total deposits at December 31, 2023, compared to $5.58 billion, or 21% of total deposits, at September 30, 2023. Period-end noninterest-bearing deposit balance and percentage both increased in the quarter primarily due to balances acquired in the merger.

Insured deposits of $23.1 billion represented 76% of total deposits at December 31, 2023, compared to insured deposits of $21.6 billion or 81% of total deposits at September 30, 2023.

In addition to deposit products, we also offer alternative, non-depository corporate treasury solutions for select clients to invest excess liquidity. These alternative options include investments managed by BofCal Asset Management Inc. (“BAM”), our registered investment advisor subsidiary, and third-party sweep products. Total off-balance sheet client investment funds were $0.7 billion as of September 30, 2023 and decreased to $0.6 billion at December 31, 2023, of which $0.2 billion was managed by BAM.

Borrowings

Borrowings decreased by $3.4 billion from $6.3 billion at September 30, 2023, to $2.9 billion at year-end as proceeds from asset sales were used to pay down the Bank Term Funding Program balance by $2.3 billion and pay off a $1.3 billion repurchase agreement. We chose to carry higher on-balance sheet liquidity while we executed the balance sheet repositioning and have the ability to strategically pay down or pay off the $2.6 billion remaining Bank Term Funding Program balance at our discretion.

Equity

During the fourth quarter, total stockholders’ equity increased by $1.0 billion to $3.4 billion and tangible common equity(1) increased by $651.6 million to $2.5 billion at December 31, 2023. The increase in total stockholders’ equity for the fourth quarter resulted from Banc of California shares issued in exchange for PacWest Bancorp shares as Merger consideration and shares issued in connection with the $400 million capital raise and lower accumulated other comprehensive loss, partially offset by the net loss in the fourth quarter and by dividends declared and paid.

At December 31, 2023, book value per common share decreased to $17.12, compared to $24.12 at September 30, 2023, which was retrospectively restated under the reverse merger method of accounting. The linked-quarter change in book value per share reflects Banc of California shares issued as Merger consideration in exchange for PacWest Bancorp shares and in connection with the $400 million capital raise, the net loss in the fourth quarter and lower accumulated other comprehensive loss. Tangible book value per common share(1) decreased to $14.96, compared to $23.81 restated at September 30, 2023, mainly as a result of Banc of California shares issued in exchange for PacWest Bancorp shares as Merger consideration and shares issued in connection with the $400 million capital raise combined with $199 million of goodwill and $145 million of core deposit intangible assets added through the merger.

The allowance for credit losses, which includes the reserve for unfunded loan commitments, totaled $311.3 million, or 1.22% of total loans and leases, at December 31, 2023, compared to $251.9 million, or 1.15% of total loans and leases, at September 30, 2023. The $59.4 million increase in the allowance includes the addition of $25.6 million related to legacy Banc of California PCD loans booked at the Merger’s close and did not affect the income statement. The ACL provision for the fourth quarter was $47.0 million, which includes an initial provision of $22.2 million for acquired legacy Banc of California non-PCD loans. Outside this initial provision, the quarter’s expense was driven by $13.2 million of net charge-offs and a need for increased quantitative reserves resulting from revising the economic forecast to reflect a 60% probability weighting on recessionary scenarios and updating expected prepayment speeds based on a high interest rate environment. The ACL coverage of nonperforming loans was 419% at December 31, 2023 compared to 201% at September 30, 2023.

Net charge-offs were 0.22% of average loans and leases (annualized) for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to 0.09% for the third quarter of 2023. The increase in net charge-offs in the fourth quarter of 2023 was due primarily to $5.3 million of charge-offs related to the transfer of Civic loans to held for sale. At December 31, 2023, nonperforming assets were $81.7 million, or 0.21% of total assets, compared to $132.2 million, or 0.36% of total assets, as of September 30, 2023.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

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.

Tangible assets, tangible equity, tangible common equity, tangible common equity to tangible assets, tangible book value per common share, return on average tangible common equity, adjusted noninterest income, adjusted noninterest expense, adjusted noninterest income to adjusted total revenue, adjusted noninterest expense to average total assets, pre-tax, pre-provision, pre-goodwill impairment (“PTPP”) income, adjusted PTPP income, PTPP return on average assets (“ROAA”), adjusted PTPP ROAA, efficiency ratio, and adjusted efficiency ratio 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 assets and tangible equity are calculated by subtracting goodwill and other intangible assets from total assets and total stockholders’ equity. Tangible common equity is calculated by subtracting preferred stock, as applicable, from tangible equity. Return on average tangible common equity is calculated by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders, after adjustment for amortization of intangible assets and goodwill impairment, by average tangible common equity. Banking regulators also exclude goodwill and other intangible assets from stockholders' equity when assessing the capital adequacy of a financial institution.

PTPP income is calculated by adding net interest income and noninterest income (total revenue), subtracting noninterest expense, and adding goodwill impairment. Adjusted PTPP income is calculated by adding net interest income and adjusted noninterest income (adjusted total revenue) and subtracting adjusted noninterest expense. PTPP ROAA is calculated by dividing annualized PTPP income by average assets. Adjusted PTPP ROAA is calculated by dividing annualized adjusted PTPP income by average assets. Efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing noninterest expense (less intangible asset amortization, net foreclosed assets expense, goodwill impairment, and acquisition, integration and reorganization costs) by total revenue. Adjusted efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing adjusted noninterest expense by adjusted 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 financial 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.
