CEO COMMENTARY

Matt Wagner, CEO, commented, “We are pleased with the growth in our capital ratios during the third quarter of 2022. The increases in the ratios were due to strong earnings, the credit-linked notes transaction completed in late September, and slower growth in loans and loan commitments. Capital remains a primary focus area and we are targeting a CET1 ratio of 10% by the end of 2023.”

“We were also pleased with the stabilization in venture banking deposits, which grew by $129 million to $12.2 billion, contributing to total deposits growing by $228 million in the third quarter of 2022. After exceptionally strong loan growth in the first half of 2022, loan growth slowed in the third quarter of 2022 due to the expected impact from higher interest rates and our decision to slow loan growth as part of managing our balance sheet.”

“Credit quality remains strong as evidenced by credit metrics such as nonperforming assets of 34 basis points and net charge-offs of three basis points for the quarter and one basis point on a year-to-date basis.”

“Lastly, on a macroeconomic level as we assess the current state and direction of the economy we are thinking about and planning for a weaker economic outlook.”

INCOME STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income increased by $11.3 million to $335.2 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $323.9 million for the second quarter of 2022. Interest income on loans and leases increased by $53.3 million in the third quarter of 2022 due to a $1.6 billion increase in the average balance of loans and leases and a 47 basis point increase in the tax equivalent yield on average loans and leases compared to the second quarter of 2022. Interest income on deposits in financial institutions increased by $6.0 million in the third quarter of 2022 due to a 139 basis point increase in the yield on average deposits in financial institutions, offset partially by a $175 million decrease in the average balance. The tax equivalent yield on average loans and leases was 5.12% for the third quarter of 2022 compared to 4.65% for the second quarter of 2022. The increase in the tax equivalent yield on average loans and leases was due primarily to higher coupon interest due to increased rates on new production and on existing variable rate loans. Interest expense on deposits increased by $45.9 million in the third quarter of 2022 due mainly to increased market rates and a higher level of wholesale deposits which contributed to a 52 basis point increase in the cost of average total deposits. Interest expense on borrowings and subordinated debt increased by $2.3 million due to a 190 basis points increase in the cost of average borrowings and subordinated debt, partially offset by an $851 million decrease in the average balance.

The tax equivalent NIM was 3.57% for the third quarter of 2022 compared to 3.56% for the second quarter of 2022. The slight increase in the NIM was due mainly to the change in the interest-earning assets mix driven by the increase in the balance of average loans and leases as a percentage of average interest-earning assets from 69% to 72%, the decrease in the balance of average investment securities as a percentage of average interest-earning assets from 26% to 23%, and the balance of average deposits in financial institutions as a percentage of average interest-earning assets remained unchanged at 5%. The balance of average loans and leases increased by $1.6 billion to $27.0 billion, the balance of average investment securities decreased by $685 million to $8.8 billion, and the balance of average deposits in financial institutions decreased by $175 million to $1.8 billion.

The cost of average total deposits was 0.70% for the third quarter of 2022 compared to 0.18% for the second quarter of 2022 due mainly to higher average balances and rates on higher-cost wholesale money market and brokered time deposits, as well as higher market rates on our deposit products.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The following table presents details of the provision for credit losses for the periods indicated:

  Three Months Ended    
  September 30,   June 30,   Increase
Provision for Credit Losses 2022     2022     (Decrease)
  (In thousands)
Addition (reduction) in allowance for    
loan and lease losses $ 3,000   $ (10,000 )   $ 13,000  
Addition to reserve for        
unfunded loan commitments       20,000       (20,000 )
Total loan-related provision   3,000     10,000       (7,000 )
Addition to allowance for      
held-to-maturity securities   1,500     (1,500 )
Total provision for credit losses $ 3,000   $ 11,500     $ (8,500 )
           

 

The provision for credit losses was $3.0 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $11.5 million for the second quarter of 2022. The $7.0 million decrease in the loan-related provision was due mainly to a lower level of growth in loans and leases and unfunded commitments in the third versus the second quarter of 2022 and a decrease in COVID-related qualitative reserves, partially offset by increased reserves needed due to a less favorable economic forecast in the third versus the second quarter of 2022.

NONINTEREST INCOME

The following table presents details of noninterest income for the periods indicated:

  Three Months Ended      
  September 30,   June 30,   Increase  
Noninterest Income 2022     2022     (Decrease)  
  (In thousands)  
Service charges on deposit accounts $ 3,608   $ 3,634     $ (26 )  
Other commissions and fees   10,034     10,813       (779 )  
Leased equipment income   12,835     12,335       500    
Gain on sale of loans and leases   58     12       46    
Gain (loss) on sale of securities   86     (1,209 )     1,295    
Dividends and gains on equity investments   3,228     4,097       (869 )  
Warrant income   292     1,615       (1,323 )  
Other income   8,478     3,049       5,429    
Total noninterest income $ 38,619   $ 34,346     $ 4,273    
             

Noninterest income increased by $4.3 million to $38.6 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $34.3 million for the second quarter of 2022 due primarily to increases of $5.4 million in other income and $1.3 million in gain on sale of securities, offset partially by a decrease of $1.3 million in warrant income and a decrease of $0.9 million in dividends and gains on equity investments. The increase in other income was due primarily to the receipt of a $5.5 million legal settlement, net of current year legal fees. The increase in gain on sale of securities resulted from the sale of $440.4 million of securities for a net gain of $86,000 compared to sales of $393.4 million of securities for a net loss of $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2022. Warrant income was lower due to a lack of capital market activities. The decrease in dividends and gains on equity investments was due to lower fair value gains on equity investments still held and SBIC investments, partially offset by lower losses on sales of equity investments and increased income distributions on SBIC investments.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

The following table presents details of noninterest expense for the periods indicated:

  Three Months Ended

Total noninterest expense $ 195,618     $ 183,645     $ 11,973  
           

Noninterest expense increased by $12.0 million to $195.6 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $183.6 million for the second quarter of 2022 due primarily to increases of $3.9 million in other professional services, $3.4 million in compensation expense, $2.6 million in other expense, and $1.5 million in insurance and assessments expense. The increase in other professional services was due mostly to issuance costs of the credit-linked notes transaction. The increase in compensation expense was due mainly to an increase in our headcount by 68 FTEs during the third quarter primarily related to hiring at Civic and for our digital and innovation initiatives. The increase in other expense was due primarily to a legal settlement accrual. The increase in insurance and assessments expense was due to higher FDIC assessment expense due to downward trends in core deposits and capital levels in the first half of 2022. Noninterest expense includes $7.0 million of non-recurring expenses in the third quarter of 2022 related to the issuance costs of the credit-linked notes transaction and a legal settlement accrual.

INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rate was 24.9% for the third quarter of 2022 compared to 25.0% for the second quarter of 2022. The effective tax rate for the full year 2022 is currently estimated to be in the range of 25% to 27%.

and September 30, 2021, respectively.              

Total deposits increased by $228 million or 0.7% in the third quarter of 2022 due to a $705 million increase in time deposits and a $182 million increase in wholesale non-maturity deposits, offset partially by a decrease in core deposits. Total venture banking deposits increased from $12.1 billion as of June 30, 2022 to $12.2 billion as of September 30, 2022. At September 30, 2022, core deposits totaled $28.6 billion or 83% of total deposits, including $12.8 billion of noninterest-bearing demand deposits or 37% of total deposits. Core deposits decreased by $659 million or 2.3% in the third quarter of 2022 driven primarily by a $586 million decrease in balances from our community banking clients primarily in September due to client business activity.

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. Total off-balance sheet client investment funds decreased from $2.1 billion as of June 30, 2022 to $1.8 billion as of September 30, 2022, of which $1.1 billion was managed by PWAM. The decrease of $0.3 billion was primarily attributable to deposit transfers by venture banking clients back onto our balance sheet.

Loans and leases held for investment, net of deferred fees, increased by $1.2 billion or 4.4% in the third quarter of 2022 to $27.7 billion at September 30, 2022. The overall increase in the loans and leases balance for the third quarter of 2022 was due primarily to increases in the residential real estate mortgage and residential real estate construction portfolios.

Civic loan production was $831 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $847 million for the second quarter of 2022. The Civic loan portfolio as of September 30, 2022 totaled $2.9 billion.

The weighted average rate on the $1.8 billion of production for the third quarter of 2022 increased to 5.92% from 4.61% for the second quarter of 2022 due primarily to the loan mix (lower percentage of multi-family production, no single-family loan pool purchases, and a higher percentage of Civic production) and the increase in market interest rates.

The following table presents allowance for credit losses information on loans and leases as of and for the dates and periods indicated:

Provision for credit losses (for the quarter) $ 3,000     $ 10,000     $ (7,000 )

Allowance for credit losses to loans and leases

The allowance for credit losses increased by $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2022 to $284.4 million at September 30, 2022. This increase was attributable mainly to a $3.0 million provision for credit losses, offset partially by $2.4 million in net charge-offs.

Net charge-offs over the trailing twelve months were $2.4 million, which results in net charge-offs to average loans and leases over the trailing twelve months of 0.1%.

Nonaccrual loans and leases increased by $11.2 million to $89.7 million in the third quarter of 2022 due primarily to a $15.5 million office building loan.

 Loans and leases accruing and 30-89 days past due generally fluctuate from period to period. The $23.8 million decrease in the third quarter of 2022 was primarily in Civic residential construction loans and in the other commercial category, offset partially by an increase in the residential mortgage loans category.

CAPITAL

Our CET1, Tier 1, Total capital, and Tier 1 leverage capital ratios increased during the third quarter of 2022 due mainly to strong earnings and the completion of the credit-linked notes transaction on September 29, 2022, which added approximately 20 basis points to the CET1 ratio. The notes sold had an aggregate principal amount of $132.8 million with net proceeds of approximately $128.7 million. The notes are linked to the credit risk of an approximately $2.66 billion reference pool of previously purchased single-family residential mortgage loans. The notes were issued in five classes with a blended interest rate of SOFR plus 11%. The transaction results in a lower risk-weighting on the reference pool of loans for regulatory capital purposes. The following table presents capital ratios as of the dates indicated:

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 often use words such as “anticipates,” “targets,” “expects,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “continue” and other similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “would” and “could.” Such statements are based on information available at the time of the communication and are based on current beliefs and expectations of PacWest’s management and are subject to significant risks, uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, which may cause actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed in them. The risks and impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic appear to have largely subsided, however, new variants may continue to impact key macro-economic indicators such as unemployment and GDP and may have a material impact on our business, financial position, results of operations, liquidity, and our allowance for credit losses and the related provision for credit losses. Continued deterioration in general business and economic conditions, uncertainty in U.S. fiscal monetary policy, including the interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve Board, and volatility and disruptions in credit and capital markets 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, inflation, 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, 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.

All forward-looking statements in this communication are based on information available at the time the statement is made. 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.
