CU BANCORP REPORTS RECORD QUARTERLY EARNINGS

OF $0.23 PER SHARE FOR THIRD QUARTER OF 2013

Encino, CA, October 25, 2013 - CU Bancorp (NASDAQ: CUNB), the parent company of wholly owned California United Bank, today reported net income of $2.5 million, or $0.23 per fully diluted share, for the third quarter of 2013, compared with net income of $2.3 million or $0.22 per fully diluted share for the second quarter of 2013 and a net loss of $932,000 or $0.10 per fully diluted share, for the third quarter of 2012, which included $2.5 million of merger-related expenses associated with the acquisition of Premier Commercial Bancorp and its subsidiary Premier Commercial Bank, N.A (“PCB”).

Net income increased to $2.5 million, or $0.23 per fully diluted share, from net income of $2.3 million, or $0.22 per fully diluted share, for second quarter of 2013

Continued status as well-capitalized, the highest regulatory category

“We continue to see a steady increase in profitability, with our third quarter results representing another record level of quarterly net income for the Company,” said David Rainer, President and Chief Executive Officer of CU Bancorp and California United Bank. “Year to date, the acquisition of new customers from megabanks, combined with additional business from existing customers throughout our regional offices, indicates the success of

our continued campaign to effectively raise awareness about the better banking experience provided at California United Bank. Our sophisticated relationship management team offers personalized services and responsiveness at a high level, focused on small- and medium-sized businesses in our market, resulting in strong growth in commercial and industrial and owner-occupied nonresidential property loans during the third quarter of 2013. We are also gaining more traction with our SBA lending, which resulted in higher gains on sale of SBA loans in the third quarter of 2013. Our new business development pipeline continues to be strong, which we expect to result in a continuation of the positive trends we have seen in 2013.”

Third Quarter 2013 Summary Results

Net Income and Profitability Ratios

Net income was $2.5 million, or $0.23 per fully diluted share for the third quarter of 2013, compared with net income of $2.3 million, or $0.22 per fully diluted share, for the second quarter of 2013. The primary driver of the improvement in profitability was a lower provision for loan losses, although the Company’s allowance to total loans ratio increased to 1.10% during the quarter.

The following table shows certain of the Company’s performance ratios for the third quarter of 2013, the second quarter of 2013 and the third quarter of 2012:

 

     Q3 2013   Q2 2013   Q3 2012

Return on average assets

   0.74%   0.73%   (0.32)%

Return on average equity

   7.4%   7.1%   (3.39)%

Operating efficiency ratio

   68%   65%   84%

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income before the provision for loan losses totaled $12.3 million for the third quarter of 2013, an increase of $2.5 million or 26% over the third quarter of 2012. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in average loans following the merger with PCB, net organic loan growth, and a higher net interest margin.

Net interest income before the provision for loan losses decreased $274 thousand or 2.2% from the second quarter of 2013.

The Company’s net interest income was positively impacted in both the second and the third quarters of 2013 by the recognition of the fair value discount earned on early payoffs/large paydowns of acquired loans. The Company recorded $891 thousand and $735 thousand in discount earned on early loan payoffs/large paydowns of acquired loans in the second and third quarters of 2013, respectively, with a positive impact on the net interest margin of 30 and 24 basis points, respectively.

The discount earned on early loan payoffs/large paydowns of acquired loans is subject to many factors and has experienced significant volatility from quarter-to-quarter, ranging from $37 thousand to $891 thousand over the past several quarters. Accordingly, the level of discount earned on early loan payoffs/large paydowns of acquired loans is difficult to project on a forward basis. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had $9.1 million of accretable income remaining on acquired portfolios.

The impact of interest income related to non-accrual loans also had a meaningful effect on the net interest margin in both the second and third quarters of 2013. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company recorded $162 thousand of interest income related to the recovery of interest income on a non-accrual loan that was paid off. The recovery of this interest income had a positive impact of 6 basis points on the Company’s net interest margin in the second quarter of 2013. During the third quarter of 2013, the Company reversed $170 thousand of interest income related to an acquired loan relationship that was put on non-accrual status during the quarter. The reversal of this interest income had a negative impact of 5 basis points on the Company’s net interest margin in the third quarter of 2013.

Net interest margin in the third quarter of 2013 was 3.95%, compared to 3.57% in the third quarter of 2012 and 4.25% in the second quarter of 2013. The decrease in net interest margin from the second quarter of 2013 is primarily attributable to the lower level of fair value discount earned on early payoffs/large paydowns of acquired loans, as well as the negative impact of the reversal of interest income from non-accrual loans in the quarter.

The Company’s average yield on loans was 5.45% in the third quarter of 2013, compared to 5.73% in the second quarter of 2013. The decrease is primarily attributable to the lower level of fair value discount earned on early payoffs/large paydowns of acquired loans, as well as the negative impact of the reversal of interest income from non-accrual loans in the quarter.

The Company’s cost of funds was 0.17% in the third quarter of 2013, a decrease from 0.19% for the second quarter of 2013.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income was $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2013, an increase of $286 thousand or 24% from $1.2 million in the same quarter of the prior year. The increase is primarily due to higher gain on sale of SBA loans.

Non-interest income in the third quarter of 2013 was $219 thousand or 13% less than the second quarter of 2013. The decrease was primarily due to the receipt of an insurance settlement during the second quarter of 2013, partially offset by higher gain on sale of SBA loans. In addition, the Company’s derivative income went from a gain of $85 thousand in the second quarter of 2013 to a loss of $25 thousand in the third quarter of 2013.

 

3


Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2013 was $9.4 million, a decrease of $2.4 million or 20% from $11.8 million for the same period of the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributable to merger-related expense recognized in the prior year period.

Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2013 increased $149 thousand or 1.6% over the second quarter of 2013. The increase included $71 thousand in expenses related to one acquired non-accrual loan relationship.

Income Tax

During the third quarter of 2013, the Company was allocated $215 thousand in credits on CRA investments. The credits had the effect of reducing the Company’s effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2013 to 33.3%.

Balance Sheet

Assets

Total assets at September 30, 2013 were $1.35 billion, a year-over-year increase of $79 million or 6.2% from September 30, 2012, primarily resulting from net organic growth in total deposits. Total assets increased $68 million or 5.3% quarter-over-quarter from June 30, 2013, primarily resulting from net organic growth in total deposits.

Loans

Total loans were $910 million at September 30, 2013, an increase of $25 million or 2.8% from $885 million at the end of the prior quarter. This also represents an increase of $115 million or 15% from September 30, 2012. During the third quarter of 2013, the Company had approximately $41 million of net organic loan growth, which was partially offset by approximately $16 million in loan run-off from acquired portfolios (from PCB and COSB). The increase in total loans from the end of the prior quarter was primarily attributable to a $19 million increase in the commercial and industrial portfolio and a $12 million increase in the owner-occupied nonresidential properties portfolio. The increase in total loans was primarily attributable to the development of new customer relationships.

A high proportion of the Company’s third quarter loan production occurred late in the quarter, which resulted in total end of period loans at September 30, 2013 being $21.6 million higher than average loans during the third quarter of 2013.

The utilization rate of commercial lines of credit increased to 50% at September 30, 2013, from 48% at June 30, 2013.

Deposits

Total deposits at September 30, 2013 were $1.18 billion, an increase of $79 million or 7.2% from June 30, 2013. This also represents an increase of $80 million or 7.3% from September 30, 2012. The increase in total deposits from the end of the prior quarter primarily reflects higher balances across all deposit categories with the largest increases occurring in non-interest bearing demand deposits and money market and savings deposits.

Non-interest bearing deposits at September 30, 2013 were $610 million, an increase of $39 million or 6.8% from June 30, 2013. Non-interest-bearing deposits represented 52% of total deposits at September 30, 2013, unchanged from the end of the prior quarter. Cost of deposits for the quarter was 0.13%, down from 0.14% in the prior quarter.

Asset Quality

Total non-performing assets were $15.6 million, or 1.16% of total assets at September 30, 2013, compared with $13.6 million, or 1.06% of total assets, at June 30, 2013. The increase in non-performing assets was entirely attributable to one acquired, real-estate-secured, loan relationship that was downgraded to non-performing status during the third quarter of 2013. Approximately 66% of the total non-performing assets at September 30, 2013 were acquired loans that were marked-to-market at the time of acquisition.

Of the total non-performing assets at September 30, 2013, the other real estate owned category consisted of one commercially zoned vacant lot located in Los Angeles County, which is being carried on the books at $3.1 million, the estimated fair value less costs of disposition. The Company has entered into a long-term escrow for the sale of this property, which is expected to generate net sale proceeds that approximate the net carrying value of the property. During the third quarter of 2013, the Company received an additional non-refundable deposit from the buyer. The sale of the property is expected to be completed by the end of 2013.

Total nonaccrual loans were $12.4 million, or 1.37% of total loans, at September 30, 2013, compared with $10.5 million, or 1.18% of total loans, at June 30, 2013. Excluding acquired loans, total nonaccrual loans were $2.1 million, or 0.23% of total loans, at September 30, 2013, compared with $3.8 million, or 0.42% of total loans, at June 30, 2013.

During the third quarter of 2013, the Company recorded net charge-offs of $5 thousand, compared with net charge-offs of $582 thousand during the second quarter of 2013. The Company had gross charge-offs of $785 thousand in the third quarter of 2013, which were offset by $780 thousand in recoveries.

The Company recorded a loan loss provision of $631 thousand for the third quarter of 2013. The loan loss provision was primarily related to the organic growth in the loan portfolio.

 

5


The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans (excluding acquired loans that have been marked to fair value and the related allowance) was 1.50% at September 30, 2013, compared with 1.50% at June 30, 2013.

Capital

CU Bancorp remained well capitalized at September 30, 2013 with total risk weighted assets of $1,112,580,000. All of the Company’s capital ratios are above minimum regulatory standards for “well capitalized” institutions.

At September 30, 2013, tangible common equity was $118.3 million with common shares issued and outstanding of 10,839,972 as of the same date, resulting in tangible book value per common share of $10.91. This compares to tangible common equity of $115.7 million with a tangible book value per common share of $10.78 at June 30, 2013. The increase in tangible book value per common share from the prior quarter primarily reflects the net income generated during the third quarter of 2013.

TCE Calculation and Reconciliation to Total Shareholders’ Equity

The Company utilizes the term Tangible Common Equity (TCE), a non-GAAP financial measure. CU Bancorp’s management believes TCE is useful because it is a measure utilized by both regulators and market analysts in evaluating a consolidated bank holding company’s financial condition and capital strength. TCE represents common shareholders’ equity less goodwill and certain intangible assets. Other companies may calculate TCE in a manner different from CU Bancorp. A reconciliation of CU Bancorp’s total shareholders’ equity to TCE is provided in the table below for the periods indicated:
