Highlights

  • Net Earnings of $128.1 Million, or $1.07 Per Diluted Share; Up 16% from Prior Quarter
  • Tax Equivalent Net Interest Margin of 4.72%; Up 3 Basis Points from Prior Quarter
  • Loan and Lease Production of $1.4 Billion; $165 Million of Net Loan Growth
  • Core Deposits Represent 83% of Total Deposits

LOS ANGELES, July 16, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PacWest Bancorp PACW today announced net earnings for the second quarter of 2019 of $128.1 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, compared to net earnings for the first quarter of 2019 of $112.6 million, or $0.92 per diluted share. The increase in net earnings in the second quarter included a $22.2 million pre-tax gain on the sale of securities which contributed $0.13 per diluted share.

Matt Wagner, President and CEO, commented, "We continue to see favorable results from our credit de-risking strategy with sustained improvement in our credit quality metrics. Year-to-date net charge-offs are 48% lower than the same period in 2018 and year-to-date credit loss provisions are 44% lower than the same period in 2018. Our second quarter of 2019 results produced a return on assets of 1.99% and a return on tangible equity of 23.15%."

Mr. Wagner continued, "We experienced solid loan production in the second quarter bringing our net loan growth to $515 million for the first half of 2019. However, competition for core deposits and customers desiring higher yields on their funds resulted in total deposits being flat in the first half of 2019. Core deposit generation remains a priority in order to help fund loan growth and maintain our net interest margin."

INCOME STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased by $6.0 million to $260.9 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $254.9 million for the first quarter of 2019 due to a higher yield on average loans and leases, a higher balance of average loans and leases, and one more day in the second quarter of 2019, offset partially by higher deposit costs. The tax equivalent yield on average loans and leases was 6.26% for the second quarter of 2019 compared to 6.16% for the first quarter of 2019. The increase in the yield on average loans and leases was due principally to loan prepayment fees being $6.3 million higher in the second quarter compared to the first quarter. The prepayment fees added 11 basis points to the second quarter loan yield and were primarily from two loans.

The tax equivalent NIM was 4.72% for the second quarter of 2019 compared to 4.69% for the first quarter of 2019. The increase in the NIM was due mainly to higher loan prepayment fees, partially offset by higher deposit costs.

The cost of average total deposits increased to 0.81% for the second quarter of 2019 from 0.73% for the first quarter of 2019 due to a lower average balance of noninterest-bearing deposits and higher rates paid on deposits.

Noninterest income increased by $19.8 million to $50.9 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $31.1 million for the first quarter of 2019 due mainly to a $20.0 million increase in the gain on sale of securities attributable to a $22.2 million net gain on sales of $980.4 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to a net gain of $2.2 million on sales of $405.8 million in the first quarter of 2019. We re-positioned a portion of our securities portfolio in the second quarter to shorten the duration of the portfolio and to enhance liquidity.

Noninterest expense decreased by $0.9 million to $125.4 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $126.3 million for the first quarter of 2019 attributable primarily to a $1.9 million decrease in compensation expense, offset partially by a $1.1 million increase in other expense. Compensation expense decreased due mainly to lower payroll taxes and bonus expense. Other expense increased primarily due to a loss on the early termination of a lease.

Income Taxes

The overall effective income tax rate was 28.2% for the second quarter of 2019 and 27.7% for the first quarter of 2019. The effective tax rate for the full year 2019 is estimated to be in the range of 27-28%.

At June 30, 2019, core deposits totaled $15.6 billion, or 83% of total deposits, including $7.3 billion of noninterest-bearing demand deposits, or 39% of total deposits. The decrease in core deposits is primarily due to decreases in noninterest-bearing demand deposits across each of our business groups as customers seek out interest-earning accounts in the competitive market environment.

In addition to deposit products, we also offer alternative non-depository cash investment options for select clients; these alternatives 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 at June 30, 2019 were $2.0 billion, of which $1.6 billion was managed by PWAM.
