Irvine, Calif., October 22, 2019 -- Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PPBI) (the “Company”), the holding company of Pacific Premier Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income of $41.4 million, or $0.69 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2019, compared with net income of $38.5 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2019 and net income of $28.4 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2018.

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company’s return on average assets (“ROAA”) was 1.44%, return on average equity (“ROAE”) was 8.32% and return on average tangible common equity (“ROATCE”) was 16.27%, compared to 1.33%, 7.71% and 15.16%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2019 and 1.00%, 5.95% and 12.89%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2018. Total assets were $11.8 billion at September 30, 2019 compared with $11.8 billion at June 30, 2019 and $11.5 billion at September 30, 2018. A reconciliation of the non–U.S. GAAP measure of ROATCE to the U.S. GAAP measure of common stockholders' equity is set forth at the end of this press release.

Steven R. Gardner, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “Our third quarter results reflect successful execution on the strategies we are employing to manage risk and enhance franchise value in the current environment of economic uncertainty and slowing growth. During the third quarter, we were able to effectively manage our cost of funds, protect our net interest margin, and realize a high level of efficiencies.

“Our performance continues to produce a superior level of risk-adjusted profitability, as we generated an ROAA of 1.44% and an ROATCE of 16.27% in the third quarter of 2019. Our strong profitability enabled us to return approximately $140 million of capital to our shareholders during the first nine months of the year through our quarterly dividend and stock repurchase program.

“Our focus on core deposit gathering continues to produce positive results. During the third quarter, our noninterest-bearing and money market deposits increased by $233.2 million, which enabled us to reduce higher cost funding, improved our overall deposit mix and helped drive a six basis point reduction in our cost of funds.

“While the markets in our geographic footprint remain healthy, we continue to be disciplined in our approach to loan production given the length of the economic expansion and our commitment to maintaining our conservative underwriting and pricing criteria. In the current environment, our focus will be on enhancing our franchise value through further improving our deposit mix, maintaining disciplined expense control and efficiently managing our capital,” said Mr. Gardner.

INCOME STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income totaled $112.3 million in the third quarter of 2019, an increase of $1.7 million, or 1.5%, from the second quarter of 2019. The increase in net interest income reflected one more day of interest, higher accretion and loan-related fees as well as lower cost of funds driven primarily by lower average balances of Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”) advances and rates, partially offset by lower interest-earning asset yields and average balances.

The net interest margin for the third quarter of 2019 was 4.36%, compared with 4.28% in the prior quarter. The increase was primarily driven by higher accretion income of $6.0 million compared to $5.0 million in the prior quarter. Our core net interest margin, which excludes the impact of accretion, increased four basis points to 4.12%, compared to 4.08% in the prior quarter. The increase in our core net interest margin was primarily attributable to higher loan-related fees and lower cost of funds.

We anticipate our core net interest margin will be in the range of 4.00% to 4.10% in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2019 decreased $378,000, or 0.3%, compared to the third quarter of 2018. The decrease was primarily related to an increase in our cost of funds since the end of the third quarter of 2018, partially offset by an increase in average interest-earning asset balances, which resulted primarily from investment securities purchases and organic loan growth since the end of the third quarter of 2018.

Provision for Credit Losses

Provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2019 was $1.6 million, an increase of $1.2 million from the second quarter of 2019. The increase was primarily due to the replenishment of $1.4 million of net charge-offs in the third quarter, compared to $360,000 replenishment in the second quarter. Additionally, the provision for unfunded commitments was $197,000 compared with a reduction of $408,000 in the prior quarter. Provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2019 decreased $419,000 compared to the third quarter of 2018 primarily driven by lower loan balances and commitments, and continued strength in asset quality.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2019 was $11.4 million, an increase of $5.1 million, or 80.7%, from the second quarter of 2019. The increase was primarily due to a $4.0 million increase in net gain from sales of investment securities and a $1.4 million increase in net gain from the sales of loans, partially offset by a $724,000 decrease in debit card interchange fee income. The decrease in debit card interchange fee income was the result of the Bank becoming a non-exempt institution, effective July 1, 2019, under the Durbin Amendment that regulates debit card interchange fee income.

During the third quarter of 2019, the Bank sold $26.3 million of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans for a net gain of $2.3 million, compared with the sale of $24.4 million of SBA loans for a net gain of $2.2 million during the prior quarter. The current quarter also included the sale of $684,000 of non-SBA loans for a net gain of $8,000 compared with sales of $82.5 million of non-SBA loans for a net loss of $1.3 million during the prior quarter.

We anticipate our noninterest income will range from $6.5 million to $7.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 based upon current SBA loan sale gain rates and normal, recurring business activities.

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2019 increased $3.2 million, or 38.7%, compared to the third quarter of 2018. The increase was primarily related to a $3.2 million increase in net gain from sales of investment securities as well as an $698,000 increase in other income, partially offset by a $640,000 decrease in debit card interchange fee income and a $409,000 decrease in earnings on bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”), primarily the result of a death benefit received in the third quarter of 2018.

The increase in net gain from sales of loans for the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to a higher premium on SBA loans sales of 109%, compared with 107% in the third quarter of 2018. The Bank sold $29.9 million of SBA loans for a net gain of $2.0 million during the third quarter of 2018.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $65.3 million for the third quarter of 2019, an increase of $1.4 million, or 2.2%, compared to the second quarter of 2019. The increase was driven by a $1.7 million increase in compensation primarily as a result of higher incentive and benefits expense and, to a lesser extent, a $641,000 increase in other expense. These increases were partially offset by a $750,000 decline in FDIC insurance premiums due to small institution assessment credits and a $487,000 decline in legal, audit and professional expense.

The Company anticipates that total operating expense will range from $65.0 million to $66.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2019.

Noninterest expense decreased by $17.4 million, or 21.1%, compared to the third quarter of 2018. The decrease was primarily related to a reduction in merger-related expense and additional cost savings from personnel and operations from the acquisition of Grandpoint Capital, Inc. (“Grandpoint”), partially offset by our continued investment to support our organic growth.

Income Tax

For the third quarter of 2019, our effective tax rate was 27.2%, compared with 26.9% for the second quarter of 2019 and 21.5% for the third quarter of 2018. The increase in the effective tax rate from the third quarter of 2018 was the result of a $2.3 million one-time benefit associated with the filing of the 2017 federal and state tax returns, and the remeasurement of deferred tax items realized in the third quarter of 2018.

The Company expects our 2019 annual effective tax rate to be in the range of 27% to 28%.

BALANCE SHEET HIGHLIGHTS

Loans

Loans held for investment totaled $8.76 billion at September 30, 2019, a decrease of $14.5 million, or 0.2%, from June 30, 2019, and a decrease of $1.7 million, or 0.02%, from September 30, 2018. The decreases were primarily driven by higher loan prepayments and payoffs, as well as lower line utilization and fundings when compared to the prior quarter, partially offset by lower loan sales and higher loan purchases. Loan sales during the third quarter of 2019 included $26.3 million of SBA loans and $684,000 of non-SBA loans, compared with $24.4 million of SBA loans and $82.5 million of non-SBA loans sold in the second quarter of 2019.

During the third quarter of 2019, the Bank generated $536.9 million of new loan commitments and $356.6 million of new loan fundings, compared with $568.2 million in new loan commitments and $394.8 million in new loan fundings for the second quarter of 2019, and $604.8 million in new loan commitments and $439.8 million in new loan fundings for the third quarter of 2018.

At September 30, 2019, the ratio of loans held for investment to total deposits was 98.9%, compared with 99.0% and 103.0% at June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively.

The small decrease in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the prior quarter was primarily the result of $187.1 million in sales and $33.3 million in principal payments, amortization and redemptions, offset by $205.1 million in purchases and an $11.0 million increase in mark-to-market fair value adjustment. The increase compared to the same period last year was primarily the result of $667.3 million in purchases and a $66.1 million increase in mark-to-market fair value adjustment, partially offset by $413.6 million in sales and $124.0 million in principal payments, amortization and redemptions.

Deposits

At September 30, 2019, deposits totaled $8.86 billion, a decrease of $2.6 million, or 0.03%, from June 30, 2019 and an increase of $357.1 million, or 4.2%, from September 30, 2018.

During the third quarter of 2019, deposit decreases included $171.1 million in brokered certificates of deposit, $45.8 million in retail certificates of deposits and $18.9 million in interest checking, offset by increases of $143.2 million in noninterest-bearing deposits and $89.9 million in money market/savings deposits, as compared to the second quarter of 2019.

The weighted average cost of deposits for the three-month period ending September 30, 2019 was 0.71%, compared to 0.73%for the three-month period endingJune 30, 2019, and 0.54% for the three-month period ending September 30, 2018. The decrease in the weighted average cost of deposits in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the prior quarter was primarily driven by lower volume in brokered certificates of deposits as well as higher average noninterest-bearing and money market deposit balances.

GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
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, this non-GAAP financial measure is supplemental and is not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures. As other companies may use different calculations for this adjusted measure, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled adjusted measures reported by other companies. For periods presented below, return on average tangible common equity is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure derived from U.S. GAAP-based amounts. We calculate this figure by excluding CDI amortization expense from net income and excluding the average CDI 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.

Tangible book value per share and tangible common equity to tangible assets (the “tangible common equity ratio”) are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures derived from U.S. 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 exclude intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios. Accordingly, we believe that these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures provide information that is important to investors and that is useful in understanding our capital position and ratios.

Core net interest income and core net interest margin are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures derived from U.S. GAAP-based amounts. We calculate core net interest income by excluding scheduled accretion income, accelerated accretion income, CD mark-to-market and nonrecurring nonaccrual interest paid from net interest income. The core net interest margin is calculated as the ratio of core net interest income to average interest-earning assets. 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.
