Jared Wolff, President & CEO of Banc of California, commented, “Our first quarter results came in as expected, with positive trends in our core earnings drivers including net interest margin expansion, solid loan growth, and prudent expense management. We have continued to capitalize on our strong market position to bring in new attractive client relationships, providing us with high quality lending opportunities and stable deposits. As a result, both book value and tangible book value per share increased, and liquidity levels remained high. Given our healthy capital and liquidity position, and our commitment to delivering excellent, sustainable returns to our shareholders, we announced an opportunistic share buyback program in mid-March and have repurchased 6.8% of our shares as of April 21."
Mr. Wolff continued, “While the economic outlook remains uncertain, demand in our key markets continues to support expansion in our net interest margin, loan and deposit growth, and improvement in operating efficiency as we grow revenue while managing our expense levels. Our capital, liquidity, and credit loss coverage positions remain healthy, allowing us to operate comfortably under a variety of economic scenarios, including the market volatility we are currently experiencing. We remain committed to leveraging our position of strength to serve our customers and help them navigate successfully through these volatile times.”

Net Interest Income and Margin
Q1-2025 vs Q4-2024
Net interest income decreased by $2.9 million to $232.4 million for the first quarter from $235.3 million for the fourth quarter attributable primarily to the following:
•A decrease of $11.2 million in interest income from loans due primarily to lower day count, lower loan prepayments, and lower market interest rates reflective of a full quarter impact of the 50 basis points federal funds rate cuts in the fourth quarter.
•A decrease of $6.8 million in interest income from deposits in financial institutions driven by lower balances, as we maintained a lower cash target level in the first quarter, and lower market interest rates.
This was partially offset by:
•A decrease of $13.6 million in interest expense due primarily to lower interest paid on interest-bearing deposits as a result of deposit rate repricing driven by the federal funds rate cuts in the fourth quarter and lower day count.
•A decrease of $1.4 million in interest expense paid on our borrowings and subordinated debt driven by lower market interest rates.
3

The net interest margin was 3.08% for the first quarter compared to 3.04% for the fourth quarter. Our net interest margin increased by 4 basis points primarily driven by lower average total cost of funds, offset partially by lower average yield on interest-earning assets as described below:
•The average total cost of funds decreased by 13 basis points to 2.42% for the first quarter compared to 2.55% for the fourth quarter due mainly to lower market interest rates and a lower average balance of interest-bearing deposits, offset partially by a lower balance of average noninterest-bearing deposits. The average cost of deposits decreased by 14 basis points to 2.12% in the first quarter from 2.26% for the fourth quarter reflecting a full quarter impact of the federal funds rate cuts. Average total deposits decreased by $247.0 million, with average noninterest-bearing deposits decreasing by $190.9 million for the first quarter compared to the fourth quarter, and average interest-bearing deposits decreasing by $56.1 million for those same comparative periods. Average noninterest-bearing deposits represented 29% of average total deposits in both the first quarter and the fourth quarter.
•The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased by 9 basis points to 5.39% for the first quarter compared to 5.48% for the fourth quarter due mainly to the average yield on deposits in financial institutions decreasing by 33 basis points and the average yield on loans and leases decreasing by 11 basis points, offset partially by the average yield on investment securities increasing by 5 basis points. The average yield on deposits in financial institutions was 4.41% for the first quarter compared to 4.74% for the fourth quarter, driven by the federal funds rate cuts as described above. The average yield on loans and leases was 5.90% for the first quarter compared to 6.01% for the fourth quarter due primarily to aforementioned lower loan prepayments and lower market interest rates. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the average yield on investment securities, which was 3.24% in the first quarter compared to 3.19% in the fourth quarter as we continued to benefit from the balance sheet repositioning actions taken in 2024 and the purchase of and reinvestment into higher-yielding securities. Additionally, average deposits in financial institutions decreased by $386.6 million to $2.1 billion in the first quarter from $2.5 billion in the fourth quarter as we maintained a lower cash target level.

Provision For Credit Losses
Q1-2025 vs Q4-2024
The provision for credit losses was $9.3 million for the first quarter compared to $12.8 million for the fourth quarter. The first quarter provision included a $9.7 million provision for loan losses and a $0.5 million provision for unfunded loan commitments, offset partially by a $0.9 million reversal of the provision for credit losses related to held-to-maturity ("HTM") securities. The first quarter provision for loans and unfunded loan commitments was primarily driven by net charge-off activity experienced during the quarter, partially offset by lower specific reserves and changes in portfolio mix driven by growth in loan segments with low expected credit losses.
T he fourth quarter provision included an $11.5 million provision for loan losses and a $1.5 million provision for unfunded loan commitments, offset partially by a $0.2 million reversal of the provision for credit losses related to available-for-sale ("AFS") securities. The fourth quarter provision for loans and unfunded loan commitments was driven primarily by net charge-off activity during the quarter.
Noninterest Income
Q1-2025 vs Q4-2024
Noninterest income increased by $4.7 million to $33.7 million for the first quarter from $29.0 million for the fourth quarter due mainly to a $2.3 million increase in dividends and gains on equity investments, a $1.7 million increase in other commissions and fees, and a $0.8 million increase in other income. The increase in dividends and gains on equity investments was due to higher gains from Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) investments. The increase in other commissions and fees was due to higher loan-related fee income and higher customer service fees. The increase in other income was mainly driven by a $0.7 million increase in the fair value mark on credit-linked notes.
Noninterest Expense
Q1-2025 vs Q4-2024
Noninterest expense increased by $2.3 million to $183.7 million for the first quarter from $181.4 million for the fourth quarter due mainly to increases of $8.8 million in compensation expenses and $3.9 million in other expenses, offset partially by decreases of $3.9 million in customer related expenses, $3.9 million in insurance and assessments expenses, and $1.6 million in loan expense. The increase in compensation was primarily due to seasonality as resets of accruals for incentive compensation, payroll taxes and benefits occur during the first quarter of the year. The increase in other expenses was primarily due to higher donations including a $1.0 million donation to the Banc of California Wildfire Relief and Recovery Fund. The decrease in customer related expenses was driven by lower earnings credit rate expenses which were impacted by the lower federal funds rate. The decrease in insurance and assessments expense was mainly due to a lower FDIC assessment and FDIC expense true-ups. The decrease in loan expenses was mostly attributable to lower legal fees driven by higher recoveries in the first quarter.
Income Taxes
Q1-2025 vs Q4-2024
Income tax expense of $19.5 million was recorded for the first quarter resulting in an effective tax rate of 26.7% compared to income tax expense of $13.2 million for the fourth quarter and an effective tax rate of 18.8%. The lower fourth quarter effective tax rate was due primarily to tax benefits resulting from recording deferred tax assets at higher state tax rates.

Securities
AFS securities increased by $87.2 million during the first quarter to $2.3 billion at March 31, 2025. AFS securities had aggregate unrealized net after-tax losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") of $172.5 million. These AFS unrealized net losses related primarily to changes in overall interest rates and spreads and the resulting impact on valuations.
The balance of HTM securities increased by $5.8 million in the first quarter to $2.3 billion at March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, HTM securities had aggregate unrealized net after-tax losses in AOCI of $151.9 million remaining from the balance established at the time of transfer from AFS on June 1, 2022.

Total loans and leases held for investment increased by $344.9 million in the first quarter and totaled $24.1 billion at March 31, 2025. The increase in loans and leases held for investment was due primarily to increased balances in the asset-based, venture capital, other commercial, and multi-family loan portfolios, offset partially by a decrease in the real estate construction and land loan segment, and the commercial real estate mortgage and other residential real estate mortgage loan portfolios. Loan originations including production, purchased loans, and unfunded new commitments were $2.6 billion in the first quarter, most of which onboarded towards the end of the quarter, with a weighted average interest rate on production of 7.20%.

The overall quality of our loan portfolio remains strong, supported by disciplined underwriting, borrower strength, and robust credit metrics. In light of the current economic uncertainty, we enhanced our credit monitoring process to more proactively manage potential risks. In the first quarter, credit downgrades were primarily driven by rate-sensitive loans in the higher interest rate environment, although these loans are well-collateralized with low loan-to-value ("LTV") ratios that we believe mitigates the risk of potential losses. Classified inflows were mainly driven by migration of rate-sensitive multifamily loans, all of which remain current, maintain strong collateral values, and are in attractive California locations. Nonperforming and delinquent loan inflows in the quarter were mainly driven by one commercial real estate loan which is full recourse to the guarantor and we believe has adequate collateral coverage.

At March 31, 2025, total delinquent loans and leases were $200.6 million, compared to $180.2 million at December 31, 2024. The $20.4 million increase in total delinquent loans was due mainly to an increase in the 30 to 89 days delinquent category of $27.0 million in commercial real estate mortgage loans, offset partially by decreases of $8.6 million in multi-family real estate mortgage loans and $5.5 million in venture capital loans. In the 90 or more days delinquent category, there was a $14.9 million increase in commercial real estate mortgage loans, offset partially by decreases of $2.6 million in other residential real estate mortgage loans and $2.4 million in other commercial loans. Total delinquent loans and leases as a percentage of loans and leases held for investment increased to 0.83% at March 31, 2025, compared to 0.76% at December 31, 2024.
At March 31, 2025, nonperforming loans and leases were $213.5 million, compared to $189.6 million at December 31, 2024. During the first quarter, nonperforming loans and leases increased by $23.9 million due to additions of $67.8 million, offset partially by charge-offs of $12.6 million and payoffs, paydowns, and other reductions of $31.3 million. The addition to nonperforming loans and leases was mainly related to the one commercial real estate loan as described above.
Nonperforming loans and leases as a percentage of loans and leases held for investment increased to 0.88% at March 31, 2025 compared to 0.80% at December 31, 2024.
At March 31, 2025, nonperforming assets wer e $219.0 million, or 0.65% of total assets, compared to $199.3 million, or 0.59% of total assets, as of December 31, 2024. At March 31, 2025, nonperforming assets included $5.5 million of foreclosed assets, consisting primarily of single-family residences.

The allowance for credit losses - loans, which includes the reserve for unfunded loan commitments, totaled $264.6 million, or 1.10% of total loans and leases, at March 31, 2025, compared to $268.4 million, or 1.13% of total loans and leases, at December 31, 2024. The $3.9 million decrease in the allowance was due to net charge-offs of $14.1 million, offset partially by a $10.2 million provision. The decrease in the ACL coverage ratio was driven by improvement in the economic forecast compared to the fourth quarter, a shift in the portfolio mix driven by growth in loan categories with lower expected losses, and the impact of charge-offs, offset partially by the impact of changes in risk ratings in the venture lending and commercial construction loan portfolios.
Our ability to absorb credit losses is also bolstered by (i) $115.2 million of loss coverage from the credit-linked notes, pursuant to which the bank sold the first 5% of any losses on $2.3 billion of single-family residential mortgage loans in our portfolio; and (ii) unearned credit marks of $20.9 million on approximately $1.5 billion of purchased loans without credit deterioration that were originated by Banc of California prior to the merger. When the loss coverage from the credit-linked notes and unearned credit marks is added to our allowance for credit losses, this provides additional economic coverage on top of our ACL ratio. We refer to this adjusted ACL ratio as our economic coverage ratio(1), which equaled 1.66% of total loans and leases at March 31, 2025 compared to 1.72% at December 31, 2024.

The ACL coverage of nonperforming loans and leases was 124% at March 31, 2025 compared to 142% at December 31, 2024.
Net charge-offs were 0.24% of average loans and leases (annualized) for the first quarter, compared to 0.45% for the fourth quarter. The decrease in net charge-offs in the first quarter was attributable primarily to two commercial loans, one loan secured by an office property and another commercial real estate loan. One of the charge-offs recognized during the quarter was specifically reserved for in December 2024.

NON-GAAP MEASURES
We refer to certain financial measures that are not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in this press release, including: tangible common equity, tangible book value per common share, return on average tangible common equity, adjusted return on average tangible common equity, adjusted return on average assets, efficiency ratio, and economic coverage ratio. These non-GAAP measures are used by management in its analysis of the Company's performance.
Tangible common equity is calculated by subtracting preferred stock, as applicable, from total common 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 any 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, any 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 return on average assets ("Adjusted ROAA") is calculated by dividing annualized adjusted net earnings, after adjustment for any unusual one-time items, by average assets.
Efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing noninterest expense (less intangible asset amortization and acquisition, integration and reorganization costs) by total revenue (the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, less gain (loss) on sale of securities).
Economic coverage ratio is calculated by dividing the allowance for credit losses adjusted for the impact of the credit-linked notes and unearned credit mark from purchase accounting by loans and leases held for investment.
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 to financial measures defined by GAAP.
