Exhibit 99.1
Banc of California, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2024 Financial Results with Improved Profitability and Strengthened Balance Sheet
Company Release - 4/23/2024
LOS ANGELES, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Banc of California, Inc. (NYSE: BANC) (“Banc of California”), the parent company of wholly-owned subsidiary Banc of California (the “Bank”), today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024. The Company recorded net earnings available to common and equivalent stockholders of $28.2 million, or $0.17 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2024. On an adjusted basis, excluding the FDIC special assessment accrued for the first quarter, net earnings available to common and equivalent stockholders was $31.7 million, or $0.19 per diluted common share(1). This compares to a net loss of $492.9 million, or a loss of $4.55 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2023. The fourth quarter of 2023 included pre-tax amounts of $442.4 million of losses on security sales relating to our balance sheet repositioning strategy, merger costs of $111.8 million, and an FDIC special assessment of $32.7 million.
First quarter highlights include:

• | Net interest income increased by $88.1 million, or 58%, in the first quarter to $239.1 million, reflecting the benefits of our balance sheet repositioning which continued into the first quarter.

• | Net interest margin of 2.78%, an increase of 109 basis points from 1.69% in the fourth quarter.

• | The average total cost of deposits decreased by 28 basis points to 2.66% for the first quarter compared to 2.94% in the fourth quarter.

• | Improved overall deposit mix, with noninterest-bearing deposits increasing over $59 million in the first quarter and the noninterest-bearing percentage of total deposits increasing from 26% at December 31, 2023 to 27% at March 31, 2024.

• | Noninterest expenses declined by over $41 million to $210.5 million (excluding merger costs).

• | High liquidity levels, with available on-balance sheet liquidity and unused borrowing capacity of $16.8 billion at March 31, 2024, which was 2.4 times greater than uninsured and uncollateralized deposits.

• | Allowance for credit losses of 1.26% at March 31, 2024, up from 1.22% at December 31, 2023, after a first quarter provision for credit losses of $10.0 million.

• | Net charge-offs of $1.2 million, or 2 basis points of average loans and leases.

• | Strong capital ratios well above the regulatory thresholds for "well capitalized" banks at March 31, 2024, including an estimated 16.43% Total risk-based capital ratio, 12.41% Tier 1 capital ratio, 10.12% CET1 capital ratio, and 9.14% Tier 1 leverage ratio.

Jared Wolff, President & CEO of Banc of California, commented, “Our first full quarter results as a combined company reflect strong execution on the key initiatives that will lead to achieving the profitability targets we set for the fourth quarter of 2024. We began to realize the benefits of the balance sheet repositioning following the closing of the merger and generated a significantly higher level of net interest income and significantly lower operating expenses. Our deposit gathering engine generated an increase in noninterest-bearing deposits during the first quarter, which contributed to a lower average cost of deposits and the expansion in our net interest margin.”
Mr. Wolff continued, “We are positioned with a strong balance sheet that has good levels of capital, liquidity, and loan loss reserves, and a stable loan portfolio. While remaining disciplined and conservative in new loan originations, core loans grew 4% annualized in the quarter, offset by runoff in our discontinued portfolio. We are benefitting from our market position, seeing good opportunities to bring over new banking relationships that provide both operating deposit accounts and high-quality loans. We remain on track with our initiatives to reduce both interest expense and operating expenses and expect to make steady progress as we move through the year toward our stated profitability targets.”

Net Interest Income
Q1-2024 vs Q4-2023
Net interest income increased by $88.1 million, or 58.3%, to $239.1 million for the first quarter from $151.1 million for the fourth quarter due to lower borrowing balances and costs, higher asset yields that were driven by changes in the interest-earning asset mix, and lower deposit costs.
Average interest-earning assets decreased by $809.5 million to $34.6 billion for the first quarter due to the full quarter impact of our fourth quarter securities sales and lower cash balances, which were used to pay down higher-cost funding sources. The overall decline in average interest-earning assets was offset partially by the increase in average loans and leases during the first quarter due mostly to the full quarter impact of legacy Banc of California loans acquired in the fourth quarter. The net interest margin increased by 109 basis points to 2.78% for the first quarter compared to 1.69% for the fourth quarter due to the average yield on interest-earning assets increasing by 45 basis points, while the average total cost of funds decreased by 66 basis points, which was positively impacted by an increase in average noninterest-bearing deposits.
The average yield on interest-earning assets increased by 45 basis points to 5.68% for the first quarter from 5.23% in the fourth quarter due mainly to the change in the interest-earning asset mix. This was driven by the increase in the balance of average loans and leases as a percentage of average interest-earning assets to 74% for the first quarter from 67% for the fourth quarter, the decrease in the balance of average investment securities as a percentage of average interest-earning assets to 14% for the first quarter from 17% for the fourth quarter, and the decrease in the balance of average deposits in financial institutions as a percentage of average interest-earning assets to 13% for the first quarter from 16% for the fourth quarter.

| 3

The average yield on loans and leases increased by 41 basis points to 6.23% for the first quarter from 5.82% for the fourth quarter as a result of higher discount accretion income and changes in portfolio mix and a full quarter benefit from the acquired loans and leases.
The average total cost of funds decreased by 66 basis points to 3.02% for the first quarter from 3.68% in the fourth quarter due mainly to decreases in higher-cost borrowings and interest-bearing deposits combined with an increase in average noninterest-bearing deposits. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 59 basis points to 3.92% for the first quarter from 4.51% in the fourth quarter. The average total cost of deposits decreased by 28 basis points to 2.66% for the first quarter compared to 2.94% in the fourth quarter. Average noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $1.4 billion for the first quarter compared to the fourth quarter and average total deposits increased by $1.5 billion.
Provision For Credit Losses
Q1-2024 vs Q4-2023
The provision for credit losses was $10.0 million for the first quarter. The first quarter provision was driven by an increase in qualitative reserves related to loans secured by office properties and an increase in quantitative reserves due to an increase in nonaccrual and classified loans and leases. 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 fourth 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.
Noninterest Income
Q1-2024 vs Q4-2023
Noninterest income increased by $434.2 million to $33.8 million for the first quarter due almost entirely to a decrease 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. There were no securities sales in the first quarter of 2024.
Noninterest Expense
Q1-2024 vs Q4-2023
Noninterest expense decreased by $153.1 million to $210.5 million for the first quarter due mainly t o fourth quarter acquisition, integration and reorganization costs of $111.8 million related to our merger with PacWest and a decrease in insurance and assessments expense of $39.6 million, which includes $32.7 million for the FDIC special assessment for the fourth quarter.
Income Taxes
Q1-2024 vs Q4-2023
Income tax expense of $14.3 million was recorded for the first quarter resulting in an effective tax rate of 27.3% compared to a benefit of $177.0 million for the fourth quarter and an effective tax rate of 26.8%.

In addition to deposit products, we also offer alternative, non-depository corporate treasury solutions for select clients to invest excess liquidity.

Total off-balance sheet client investment funds were $0.6 billion as of December 31, 2023 and increased to $1.2 billion at March 31, 2024, of which $0.6 billion was managed by BAM.
Borrowings
Borrowings decreased by $771.8 million from $2.9 billion at December 31, 2023, to $2.1 billion at March 31, 2024 due primarily to the paydown of $1.1 billion of the Bank Term Funding Program balance, offset partially by $300 million in FHLB borrowings. We chose to extend the $1.5 billion remaining Bank Term Funding Program balance to March 2025 in order to have the flexibility to pay down or pay off the balance at our discretion as business needs dictate.
Equity
During the first quarter, total stockholders’ equity increased by $10.7 million to $3.4 billion and tangible common equity(1) increased by $18.9 million to $2.5 billion at March 31, 2024.

At March 31, 2024, total delinquent loans and leases were $236.2 million, compared to $144.2 million at December 31, 2023. The $92.0 million increase in total delinquent loans was due mostly to a $56.8 million increase in commercial real estate mortgage loans that were 30 to 89 days delinquent and a $35.1 million increase in other residential real estate mortgage loans that were 90 or more days delinquent. Total delinquent loans and leases as a percentage of total loans and leases increased to 0.93% at March 31, 2024, as compared to 0.57% at December 31, 2023.
At March 31, 2024, nonperforming assets were $158.5 million, or 0.44% of total assets, compared to $81.7 million, or 0.21% of total assets, as of December 31, 2023.
At March 31, 2024, nonperforming loans were $146.0 million, and included $66.7 million of CRE loans, $61.8 million of other residential loans (mostly Civic), $15.7 million of commercial and industrial loans, $1.0 million of multi-family loans, and $0.8 million of consumer loans. During the first quarter, nonperforming loans increased by $71.7 million due to additions of $90.9 million, offset partially by borrowers that became current of $12.8 million, payoffs and paydowns of $5.0 million, and net charge-offs of $1.4 million.
Nonperforming loans and leases as a percentage of total loans and leases increased to 0.57% at March 31, 2024 compared to 0.29% at December 31, 2023. Four CRE credits drove the majority of the increase to nonperforming loans during the period, which included 3 office properties and 1 retail property. Specific reserves were established for two office properties which contributed to the increase in the provision. The legacy Civic portfolio also contributed to the increase in both delinquencies and nonperforming loans. The nonperforming loan increase was driven mainly by the four CRE properties which represented 60% of the increase, Civic represented 29% of the increase, and SFR/consumer loans represented 7% of the increase.

At March 31, 2024, nonperforming assets included $12.5 million of other real estate owned, consisting entirely of single-family residences.

(1) | Includes $22.2 million initial provision related to non-PCD loans acquired during the period.

The allowance for credit losses, which includes the reserve for unfunded loan commitments, totaled $320.1 million, or 1.26% of total loans and leases, at March 31, 2024, compared to $311.3 million, or 1.22% of total loans and leases, at December 31, 2023. The $8.8 million increase in the allowance was due to a $10.0 million provision, offset partially by net charge-offs of $1.2 million. The ACL coverage of nonperforming loans was 219% at March 31, 2024 compared to 419% at December 31, 2023.

| 11

Net charge-offs were 0.02% of average loans and leases (annualized) for the first quarter, compared to 0.22% for the fourth quarter. The decrease in net charge-offs in the first quarter was due primarily to $5.3 million of charge-offs related to the transfer of Civic loans to held for sale in the fourth quarter.

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 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, adjusted net earnings (loss) available to common stockholders, adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per diluted common share, and adjusted return on average assets (“ROAA”) 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. Adjusted return on average tangible common equity is calculated by dividing adjusted net earnings available to common stockholders, after adjustment for amortization of intangible assets, goodwill impairment, and any unusual one-time items, 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.
Adjusted net earnings (loss) is calculated by adjusting net earnings (loss) by unusual, one-time items. ROAA is calculated by dividing annualized net earnings (loss) by average assets. Adjusted ROAA is calculated by dividing annualized adjusted net earnings (loss) by average assets.
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.
