Irvine, Calif., January 23, 2025 -- Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PPBI) (the “Company” or “Pacific Premier”), the holding company of Pacific Premier Bank, National Association (the “Bank” or "Pacific Premier Bank"), reported net income of $33.9 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared with net income of $36.0 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2024, and a net loss of $135.4 million, or $1.44 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2023.

For the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company’s return on average assets (“ROAA”) was 0.75%, return on average equity (“ROAE”) was 4.61%, and return on average tangible common equity (“ROATCE”)(1) was 7.15%, compared to 0.79%, 4.91%, and 7.63%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2024, and (2.76)%, (19.01)%, and (28.01)%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2023.

Total assets as of December 31, 2024 were $17.90 billion, compared to $17.91 billion at September 30, 2024, and $19.03 billion at December 31, 2023.

Steven R. Gardner, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President of the Company, commented, “Our team delivered solid results in the fourth quarter, closing out the year in a strong financial position. Our performance throughout 2024 reflects the excellence of our organization and the effectiveness of our relationship-based business model that has us well-positioned to accelerate growth over the coming quarters.”

“The outstanding business development efforts of our relationship managers and their teams, along with a more favorable operating environment and improved client sentiment, led to increased loan originations of $316.0 million in the fourth quarter. Improved loan originations also led to expanded depository relationships as non-maturity deposits increased $145.8 million from the prior quarter, resulting in a positive remix of our deposit base and an 8-basis point reduction in end-of-period deposit costs to 1.72%. The loan portfolio increased from the prior quarter led by growth in C&I and consumer loans as we supplemented our new loan production with select loan purchases and participations of commercial and single-family residential loans. Much of the loan closings occurred later in the quarter and thus the lower average loan balances led, in part, to the net interest margin contracting to 3.02%."

“We enter 2025 from a position of strength, which is reflected, in part, in our strong asset quality levels. Our total delinquency was 0.02% of loans and nonperforming assets decreased to 0.16% of total assets. These positive asset quality results, along with industry-leading capital ratios, provide us with significant flexibility to capitalize on emerging opportunities and thrive in a strengthening economic landscape, reinforcing our role as a trusted partner for our clients and our ability to maximize long term value for our shareholders.”

“Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the devastating California wildfires, including our colleagues, clients, and neighbors in the Los Angeles area. We stand ready to support our communities during this challenging time and we have the resources, capabilities, and commitment to rebuild LA. We will be there as a primary capital provider for the residents, builders, contractors, and related businesses as restoration efforts begin. As always, we remain committed to serving as both a trusted financial partner and a source of strength for the communities we proudly call home.”

INCOME STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
 
Net interest income totaled $124.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, a decrease of $6.4 million, or 4.9%, from the third quarter of 2024. The decrease in net interest income was primarily attributable to lower average loan balances and lower yields on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a reduction in the cost of funds, driven by lower average wholesale/brokered CD balances and borrowings.

The net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2024 decreased 14 basis points to 3.02% from 3.16% in the third quarter of 2024. This decline was due to lower average loan balances and lower yields on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a lower cost of funds.

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 decreased $22.3 million, or 15.2%, from the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower average loan balances and yields and a higher cost of funds.

Provision for Credit Losses

For the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company recorded an $814,000 provision reversal, compared to a $486,000 provision expense for the third quarter of 2024, and a $1.7 million provision expense for the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease in provision for credit losses compared to the third quarter of 2024 was largely attributable to changes to the composition and asset quality trends of the loan portfolio.

Noninterest Income
 
Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $20.0 million, an increase of $1.1 million from the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $980,000 increase in other income, largely attributable to a $1.1 million increase in Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) investment gains.

Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 increased $254.2 million, compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to the repositioning of investment securities portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2023 whereby the Bank sold $1.26 billion of its available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities portfolio, which resulted in a $254.1 million net loss.

Noninterest Expense
 
Noninterest expense totaled $100.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, a decrease of $959,000 from the third quarter of 2024. This reduction was primarily due to a $3.0 million decrease in compensation and benefits, a $785,000 decrease in deposit expense, and a $705,000 decrease in premises and occupancy, partially offset by a $4.1 million increase in legal and professional services, driven by a $3.5 million insurance claim receivable reversal.

Noninterest expense decreased by $2.1 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. This decline was primarily due to a $2.3 million decrease in FDIC insurance premiums, primarily resulting from a $2.1 million FDIC special assessment in the fourth quarter of 2023, a $1.5 million decrease in compensation and benefits, a $1.2 million decrease in other expense, and a $989,000 decrease in premises and occupancy, partially offset by a $4.4 million increase in legal and professional services, driven by the $3.5 million reversal of the insurance claim receivable.

The income tax benefit in the fourth quarter of 2023 was primarily attributable to the pretax loss from sales of AFS securities driven by the Company's balance sheet repositioning.

The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year decreases were primarily due to new loan fundings at lower coupon rates and the repricing of existing loans in response to decreases in benchmark interest rates, as well as customers paying down and paying off higher-rate loans.

The weighted average interest rate on new loan commitments was 6.92% in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 8.43% in the third quarter of 2024, and 6.34% in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Allowance for Credit Losses
 
At December 31, 2024, our allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on loans held for investment was $178.2 million, a decrease of $3.1 million from September 30, 2024, and a decrease of $14.3 million from December 31, 2023. The change in ACL from September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 primarily reflects changes in the size and composition of our loan portfolio and updates to the economic forecasts as well as net loan charge-offs during the respective periods.

During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company incurred $1.4 million of net charge-offs, compared to $2.3 million of net charge-offs during the third quarter of 2024, and $3.9 million of net charge-offs during the fourth quarter of 2023, respectively.

Investment Securities

At December 31, 2024, AFS and held-to-maturity (“HTM”) investment securities were $1.68 billion and $1.71 billion, respectively, compared to $1.32 billion and $1.71 billion, respectively, at September 30, 2024, and $1.14 billion and $1.73 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2023.

In total, investment securities were $3.40 billion at December 31, 2024, an increase of $364.9 million from $3.03 billion at September 30, 2024 and an increase of $525.4 million from $2.87 billion at December 31, 2023. The increase in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the prior quarter was primarily driven by purchases of $704.6 million, predominantly short-term U.S. Treasury securities, as well as an improvement of $2.5 million in AFS investment securities mark-to-market unrealized loss, partially offset by principal payments, amortization, accretion, and redemptions aggregating to $342.2 million.

The increase in investment securities from December 31, 2023 was primarily attributable to purchases of $1.43 billion of AFS and HTM investment securities and an improvement of $18.8 million in AFS investment securities mark-to-market unrealized loss, partially offset by principal payments, amortization, accretion, and redemptions aggregating to $924.6 million.

Deposits

At December 31, 2024, total deposits were $14.46 billion, a decrease of $17.2 million, or 0.1%, from September 30, 2024, and a decrease of $531.9 million, or 3.5%, from December 31, 2023. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily driven by decreases of $163.1 million in retail certificates of deposit and $22.1 million in noninterest-bearing deposits, partially offset by increases of $135.5 million in interest-bearing checking and $32.4 million in money market and savings. The decrease from December 31, 2023 was attributable to decreases of $315.8 million noninterest-bearing checking and $310.1 million in brokered certificates of deposit, partially offset by an increase of $125.3 million in retail certificates of deposit.

At December 31, 2024, non-maturity deposits(1) totaled $12.35 billion, or 85.4% of total deposits, an increase of $145.8 million, or 1.2%, from September 30, 2024, and a decrease of $347.1 million, or 2.7%, from December 31, 2023.

At December 31, 2024, maturity deposits totaled $2.11 billion, a decrease of $163.0 million, or 7.2%, from September 30, 2024, and a decrease of $184.8 million, or 8.1%, from December 31, 2023. The decrease in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the prior quarter was primarily driven by the decrease of $163.1 million in retail certificates of deposit. The decrease from December 31, 2023 was largely due to the reduction of higher cost brokered certificates of deposit, partially offset by the increase in retail certificates of deposit.

The weighted average cost of total deposits for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 1.79%, compared with 1.84% for the third quarter of 2024 and 1.56% for the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease in the weighted average cost of deposits for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2024 was principally driven by lower pricing in the retail certificates of deposit category and lower average balances in higher-costing maturity deposits. The increase in the weighted average cost of deposits for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 was principally driven by higher pricing across all deposit categories. The weighted average cost of non-maturity deposits(1) for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 1.28%, compared to 1.27% for the third quarter of 2024, and 1.02% for the fourth quarter of 2023.

At December 31, 2024, the end-of-period weighted average rate of total deposits was 1.72%, compared to 1.80% at September 30, 2024 and 1.55% at December 31, 2023. At December 31, 2024, the end-of-period weighted average rate of non-maturity deposits was 1.24%, compared to 1.26% at September 30, 2024 and 1.04% at December 31, 2023.

At December 31, 2024, the Company’s FDIC-insured deposits as a percentage of total deposits was 60%, and insured and collateralized deposits comprised 66% of total deposits at December 31, 2024, consistent with the ratios at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Borrowings

At December 31, 2024, total borrowings amounted to $272.4 million, an increase of $129,000 from September 30, 2024 and a decrease of $659.4 million from December 31, 2023. Total borrowings at December 31, 2024 were comprised entirely of $272.4 million in subordinated debentures. The slight increase in borrowings at December 31, 2024 as compared to September 30, 2024 was due to the amortization of subordinated debt issuance costs. The decrease in average borrowings and borrowings at December 31, 2024, compared to December 31, 2023, was primarily due to the redemptions and maturities of higher cost FHLB term advances and the maturity of $60.0 million in subordinated debentures.

As of December 31, 2024, our unused borrowing capacity was $9.03 billion, which consists of available lines of credit with FHLB and other correspondent banks, as well as access through the Federal Reserve Bank's discount window, which was not utilized during the fourth quarter of 2024.

Capital Ratios
 
At December 31, 2024, our common stockholder's equity was $2.96 billion, or 16.51% of total assets, compared with $2.94 billion, or 16.44% of total assets, at September 30, 2024, and $2.88 billion, or 15.15% of total assets, at December 31, 2023. At December 31, 2024, the ratio of tangible common equity to total assets(1) increased 9 and 120 basis points to 11.92%, compared with 11.83% at September 30, 2024, and 10.72% at December 31, 2023, respectively.

GAAP to NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
(Unaudited)
The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operational performance and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of such financial performance. 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, return on average assets excluding net loss from investment securities repositioning and FDIC special assessment is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP based amounts. We calculate this figure by excluding the net loss from investment securities repositioning during the fourth quarter of 2023, the FDIC special assessment, and the related tax impact from net income. Management believes that the exclusion of such nonrecurring items from this financial measure provides useful information to gain an understanding of the operating results of our core business and a better comparison of financial performance.

For periods presented below, return on average tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate this figure by excluding amortization of intangible assets expense from net income and excluding the average intangible assets and average goodwill from the average stockholders' equity during the periods indicated. Management believes that the exclusion of such items from this financial measure provides useful information to gain an understanding of the operating results of our core business. The adjusted net income, adjusted return on average equity, and adjusted return on average tangible common equity further exclude the nonrecurring items to provide a better comparison to the financial results of prior periods.

The adjusted basic earnings per common share and adjusted diluted earnings per common share are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP based amounts. We calculate the adjusted basic earnings per common share by dividing net income allocable to common shareholders, excluding the net loss from investment securities repositioning during the fourth quarter of 2023, the FDIC special assessment, and the related tax impact, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period, excluding outstanding participating securities. The adjusted diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income allocable to common shareholders, excluding the net loss from investment securities repositioning, FDIC special assessment, and the related tax impact, by the weighted average number of diluted common shares outstanding over the reporting period, adjusted to include the effect of potentially dilutive common shares based on adjusted net income, but excludes awards considered participating securities. The computation of diluted earnings per common share excludes the impact of the assumed exercise or issuance of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect. Management believes that the exclusion of such items from this financial measure provides useful information to gain an understanding of the operating results of our core business and a better comparison of financial performance.

Efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP-based amounts. This figure represents the ratio of noninterest expense, less amortization of intangible assets and other real estate owned operations, where applicable, to the sum of net interest income before provision for credit losses and total noninterest income less (loss) gain from investment securities, (loss) gain from other real estate owned, and gain from debt extinguishment. The adjusted efficiency ratio further excludes the FDIC special assessment to provide a better comparison to the financial results of prior periods. Management believes that the exclusion of such items from this financial measure provides useful information to gain an understanding of the operating results of our core business.

Tangible book value per share and tangible common equity to tangible assets (the “tangible common equity ratio”) are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP-based amounts. 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 calculate the tangible common equity ratio by excluding the balance of intangible assets from common stockholders' equity and dividing by tangible assets. We believe that this information is consistent with the treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which excludes 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.

Cost of non-maturity deposits is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP-based amounts. Cost of non-maturity deposits is calculated as the ratio of non-maturity deposit interest expense to average non-maturity deposits. We calculate non-maturity deposit interest expense by excluding interest expense for all certificates of deposit from total deposit expense, and we calculate average non-maturity deposits by excluding all certificates of deposit from total deposits. Management believes cost of non-maturity deposits is a useful measure to assess the Company's deposit base, including its potential volatility.
