CEO COMMENTARY
Matt Wagner, President and CEO, commented, “Our continued focus on growing net interest income produced strong first quarter earnings boosted by continued deposit driven balance sheet growth and improved credit costs as a result of improved economic conditions. Our first quarter results produced a return on assets of 1.94% and a return on tangible equity of 25.67%.”

“We experienced strong deposit growth again in the first quarter driven by outstanding growth from our venture banking clients as well as our commercial bank. This increasing liquidity has expanded our average balance of deposits at the Fed, which grew to $4.8 billion in the first quarter with a yield of 13 basis points. While our focus is on managing net interest income, this excess liquidity continues to be a drag on our net interest margin, which had a negative impact of 61 basis points in the first quarter.”

“Credit quality continued to improve as we experienced decreases in nonaccrual, special mention, and classified loans and leases in the first quarter, while net charge-offs were $2.7 million.”

“We closed the Civic acquisition on February 1, 2021 and in two months Civic originated $231 million of loans. We expect Civic loan production to remain strong and, as their loan portfolio continues to grow, it will help sustain our loan yields and drive loan growth.”

INCOME STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income increased by $2.1 million to $261.3 million for the first quarter of 2021 compared to $259.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 due mainly to higher income on investment securities and lower interest expense, partially offset by lower income on loans and leases and the negative impact on net interest income due to the change in the earning assets mix. The tax equivalent yield on average loans and leases was 5.20% for the first quarter of 2021 compared to 5.15% for the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase in the tax equivalent yield on average loans and leases was primarily due to higher loan discount accretion of $1.5 million and higher amortized loan fee income of $2.9 million mainly from higher PPP loan forgiveness in the first quarter of 2021 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.

The tax equivalent NIM was 3.69% for the first quarter of 2021 compared to 3.83% for the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease in the NIM was primarily due to the change in the earning assets mix. The average balance of deposits in financial institutions increased by $1.2 billion, the average balance of investment securities increased by $494.1 million, and the average balance of loans and leases increased by $158.1 million in the first quarter of 2021. This excess liquidity had a negative impact on the first quarter tax equivalent NIM of 61 basis points.

The cost of average total deposits decreased to 0.11% in the first quarter of 2021 from 0.14% for the fourth quarter of 2020. The lower cost of average total deposits was due primarily to the repricing of maturing brokered time deposits and the increased average balance of noninterest-bearing deposits.

The provision for credit losses decreased by $58.0 million to a benefit of $48.0 million for the first quarter of 2021 compared to a $10.0 million provision for the fourth quarter of 2020. This reduction reflected improvement in certain key macro-economic forecast variables and decreased provisions for individually evaluated loans and leases, partially offset by a higher provision for unfunded commitments which grew by $526.6 million.

Noninterest income increased by $5.0 million to $44.8 million for the first quarter of 2021 compared to $39.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 due primarily to an increase of $5.8 million in dividends and gains on equity investments and a $1.9 million increase in leased equipment income, offset partially by decreases of $1.5 million in gain on sale of loans and leases and $1.2 million in warrant income. The increase in dividends and gains on equity investments was due primarily to a $10.1 million gain on one equity investment, offset partially by lower net fair value gains on equity investments still held. The increase in leased equipment income was due primarily to a higher average balance of equipment leased to others under operating leases. The decrease in the gain on sale of loans and leases resulted from the sales of $72.6 million of loans for gains of $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to sales of $119.9 million for gains of $1.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease in warrant income was primarily attributable to lower gains from exercised warrants after record gains in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Noninterest expense increased by $14.5 million to $150.1 million for the first quarter of 2021 compared to $135.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 due primarily to increases of $6.7 million in compensation expense, $5.7 million in other expense, $2.4 million in acquisition, integration and reorganization costs, and $1.5 million in leased equipment depreciation, offset partially by a decrease of $1.7 million in other professional expense. The increase in compensation expense was mostly due to compensation expense related to the Civic operations, while, in total, Civic’s noninterest expenses added $10.8 million to total noninterest expense. The increase in other expense was largely due to a legal settlement in excess of amounts previously accrued. The increase in acquisition, integration and reorganization costs was due to advisory services and integration expenses related to the closed Civic acquisition and the pending acquisition of MUFG Union Bank’s Homeowners Association Services Division. The increase in leased equipment depreciation was due primarily to an increase in the average balance of equipment leased to others under operating leases. The decrease in other professional expense was due primarily to lower consulting expense.

INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rate was 26.3% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to 23.8% for the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher pre-tax income in relation to discrete items for the quarter. The effective income tax rate for the full year 2021 is currently estimated to be in the range of 25% to 27%.

Core deposits increased by $3.3 billion or 15% in the first quarter of 2021 driven by continued strong deposit growth from our venture banking clients.

In addition to deposit products, we also offer alternative, non-depository cash investment options for select clients. These alternative options include investments managed by Pacific Western Asset Management Inc. (“PWAM”), our registered investment advisor subsidiary, and third-party sweep products.

(1) Includes direct financing leases but excludes equipment leased to others under operating leases.

(2) The weighted average rate on production presents contractual rates on a tax equivalent basis and excludes amortized fees. Amortized fees added approximately 43 basis points to loan yields in 2021.

Loans and leases held for investment, net of deferred fees, decreased by $104.1 million in the first quarter of 2021 to $19.0 billion at March 31, 2021. The decrease in the loans and leases balance for the first quarter of 2021 was primarily due to a $123.5 million decrease in the security monitoring portfolio, for which new originations have been discontinued since the fourth quarter of 2019. The weighted average rate on first quarter of 2021 production decreased to 4.36% due to first quarter production including $381 million of PPP loans at a coupon rate of 1%, while the fourth quarter of 2020 included no PPP loan production. Excluding PPP loans, the weighted average rate on new production for the first quarter of 2021 was 5.39%.

The allowance for credit losses decreased by $50.7 million in the first quarter of 2021 to $383.0 million at March 31, 2021. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses during the first quarter of 2021 was attributable to a provision for credit losses benefit of $48.0 million and $2.7 million in net charge-offs.

Net charge-offs were $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2021. Gross charge-offs of $4.0 million were reduced by recoveries of $1.3 million.

Net charge-offs were $18.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Gross charge-offs of $20.3 million were reduced by recoveries of $1.5 million. The most significant charge-off was $15.5 million related to a security monitoring loan.

Security monitoring loans decreased by 38% from $329.3 million as of December 31, 2020 to $205.8 million as of March 31, 2021, as the Company continues to actively reduce the remaining loans. As of March 31, 2021, $172.1 million or 84% of these security monitoring loans are performing and pass-rated, while $33.7 million are classified, of which $6.1 million are on nonaccrual.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This communication contains certain forward-looking information about PacWest that is intended to be covered by the safe harbor for “forward-looking statements” provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements that are not historical or current facts, including statements about future financial and operational results, expectations, or intentions are forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on information available at the time of the communication and are based on current beliefs and expectations of the Company’s management and are subject to significant risks, uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. The COVID-19 pandemic is adversely affecting PacWest, its employees, customers and third-party service providers, and the ultimate extent of the impacts on its business, financial position, results of operations, liquidity and prospects is uncertain. The length of the COVID-19 pandemic and the severity of its impact on key macro-economic indicators such as unemployment and GDP may have a material impact on our allowance for credit losses and related provision for credit losses. Continued deterioration in general business and economic conditions could adversely affect PacWest’s revenues and the values of its assets, including goodwill, and liabilities, lead to a tightening of credit, and increase stock price volatility. In addition, PacWest’s results could be adversely affected by changes in interest rates, sustained high unemployment rates, deterioration in the credit quality of its loan portfolio or in the value of the collateral securing those loans, deterioration in the value of its investment securities, the magnitude of individual loan losses on security monitoring loans, and legal and regulatory developments. Actual results may differ materially from those set forth or implied in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including the risk factors described in documents filed by PacWest with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

We are under no obligation (and expressly disclaim any such obligation) to update or alter our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
