LOS ANGELES, Oct. 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PacWest Bancorp (Nasdaq: PACW) today announced net earnings for the third quarter of 2018 of $116.3 million, or $0.94 per diluted share, compared to net earnings for the second quarter of 2018 of $115.7 million, or $0.92 per diluted share. The increase in net earnings from the prior quarter was due primarily to a lower provision for credit losses, offset partially by lower net interest income and lower noninterest income.
The provision for credit losses decreased by $6.0 million in the third quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2018 due mainly to a lower level of loans rated special mention. Net interest income decreased by $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2018 due mostly to higher deposit costs and a lower yield on average loans and leases, offset partially by a higher balance of average loans and leases. Noninterest income decreased by $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2018 due primarily to a $6.4 million decrease in other income, offset partially by a $2.6 million increase in warrant income and a $0.9 million increase in dividends and gains on equity investments.
Matt Wagner, President and CEO, commented, “We achieved strong net loan growth across all our business lines along with solid earnings and operating metrics. Our third quarter results produced a return on assets of 1.89% and a return on tangible equity of 21.61%.”
Mr. Wagner continued, “Our third quarter tax equivalent NIM decreased by 19 basis points to 4.99% due to higher rates on deposits from competitive pressures and lower loan yields resulting from lower discount accretion.”
Mr. Wagner continued, “We recently announced our pending acquisition of El Dorado Savings Bank which will expand our Community Banking franchise into Northern California and Northern Nevada and enhance our core funding with approximately $2.0 billion of stable low cost deposits.”

INCOME STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS
Net Interest Income
Net interest income decreased by $2.0 million to $260.3 million for the third quarter of 2018 compared to $262.3 million for the second quarter of 2018 due to interest expense growth exceeding interest income growth. Interest expense increased due to higher deposit costs and one additional day in the third quarter. Interest income increased due primarily to a higher balance of average loans and leases and one additional day in the third quarter, offset partially by a lower yield on average loans and leases. The tax equivalent yield on average loans and leases was 6.20% for the third quarter of 2018 compared to 6.30% for the second quarter of 2018. The decrease in the yield on average loans and leases was due principally to lower discount accretion on acquired loans (14 basis points in the third quarter versus 21 basis points in the second quarter).
The tax equivalent NIM was 4.99% for the third quarter of 2018 compared to 5.18% for the second quarter of 2018. The decrease in the NIM was due mainly to higher deposit costs and a lower yield on average loans and leases resulting from lower discount accretion on acquired loans.
The cost of average total deposits increased to 0.46% for the third quarter of 2018 from 0.37% for the second quarter of 2018 due to higher rates paid on deposits in conjunction with increased market interest rates.
Provision for Credit Losses
A provision for credit losses of $11.5 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2018 compared to $17.5 million in the second quarter of 2018. The lower provision for the third quarter of 2018 was due to a lower level of loans graded special mention at September 30, 2018 compared to June 30, 2018. Loans graded special mention have a higher general reserve amount than loans graded pass.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income decreased by $2.7 million to $36.9 million for the third quarter of 2018 compared to $39.6 million for the second quarter of 2018 due mainly to decreases in other income and leased equipment income, partially offset by increases in warrant income, dividends and gains on equity investments, and other commissions and fees. Other income and leased equipment income decreased in the third quarter due to lower gains on early lease terminations. Warrant income increased due to higher realized gains on exercised warrants primarily from a $3.1 million gain on a warrant in a company that completed an IPO. Dividends and gains on equity investments increased due to higher realized gains on investments sold. The increase in other commissions and fees was attributable to higher loan-related fees.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense increased by $1.7 million to $128.1 million for the third quarter of 2018 compared to $126.4 million for the second quarter of 2018 attributable primarily to a $2.4 million increase in compensation expense, a $0.8 million increase in other professional expense, and a $0.8 million increase in acquisition costs, partially offset by decreases in most other expense categories. Compensation expense increased due to higher stock compensation expense for our performance-based restricted stock units as we now expect to achieve a higher level of certain performance metrics, and higher commissions expense related to the increased warrant income. Other professional services increased due to higher legal and consulting expense. The increase in acquisition costs relates to the recently announced pending acquisition of El Dorado Savings Bank.

The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans and leases held for investment increased to 1.03% at September 30, 2018 from 0.99% at June 30, 2018 due primarily to an increase in the level of specific reserves on impaired loans.
Gross charge-offs for the third quarter of 2018 were $3.3 million and included $1.1 million for venture capital loans, $0.7 million for real estate mortgage loans, and $0.7 million for asset-based loans. Gross charge-offs for the second quarter of 2018 were $18.2 million and included $6.1 million for venture capital loans, $4.7 million for real estate mortgage loans, $4.4 million for other commercial loans, and $2.9 million for asset-based loans. Recoveries for the third quarter of 2018 were $1.6 million and included $1.0 million for venture capital loans. Recoveries in the second quarter of 2018 were $1.1 million and included $0.8 million for other commercial loans.
The annualized ratio of net charge-offs to average loans was 0.04% for the third quarter of 2018 compared to 0.41% for the second quarter of 2018. The annualized ratio of net charge-offs to average loans was 0.19% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 0.35% for the same period in 2017.

Nonaccrual loans and leases decreased by $0.8 million in the third quarter due to net changes in the population of nonaccrual loans which included collections applied to loans and leases, the full repayment of a $10.5 million nonaccrual residential real estate construction loan, and an $11.9 million venture capital loan that was placed on nonaccrual status during the quarter. The decrease in nonaccrual loans and leases by loan category was attributable primarily to a $10.5 million decrease in nonaccrual residential real estate construction and land loans and a $3.4 million decrease in nonaccrual commercial real estate mortgage loans, offset partially by a $7.6 million increase in nonaccrual venture capital loans and a $4.9 million increase in nonaccrual asset-based loans.
Special mention loans and leases decreased by $146.8 million in the third quarter due to net changes in the population of these loans which included a $47.8 million special mention commercial real estate loan being upgraded to pass status and the full repayment of a $33.4 million special mention healthcare real estate loan.
Classified loans and leases increased by $24.2 million in the third quarter due to net changes in the population of these loans which included a $34.4 million security cash flow loan being downgraded to classified status, offset partially by the full repayment of a $10.5 million classified nonaccrual residential real estate construction loan.

EL DORADO SAVINGS BANK MERGER ANNOUNCEMENT
On September 12, 2018, PacWest announced the signing of a definitive agreement and plan of merger (the “Agreement”) whereby PacWest will acquire El Dorado Savings Bank, F.S.B. (“El Dorado”) in a transaction valued at approximately $466.7 million.
El Dorado, headquartered in Placerville, California, is a federally chartered savings bank founded in 1958, with approximately $2.2 billion in assets and 35 branches located primarily in eight Northern California counties and two Northern Nevada counties. In connection with the transaction, El Dorado will be merged into Pacific Western Bank, the principal operating subsidiary of PacWest Bancorp.
The transaction, which was approved by the PacWest and El Dorado boards of directors, is expected to close in the first quarter of 2019 and is subject to customary closing conditions, including obtaining approval by bank regulatory authorities and El Dorado’s stockholders.
As of June 30, 2018, on a pro forma consolidated basis, the combined company would have approximately $26.7 billion in assets and 110 branches. No El Dorado branches are expected to be consolidated as a result of the Agreement.
Under terms of the Agreement, El Dorado stockholders will receive 58.2209 shares of PacWest common stock and $427.92 in cash for each share of El Dorado, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances as set forth in the Agreement. Based on PacWest’s September 11, 2018 closing price of $50.04, the total value of the merger consideration is $3,341.29 per El Dorado share. The consideration mix would result in a total of approximately $59.8 million in cash and $406.9 million in PacWest shares.
STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
During the third quarter of 2018, we repurchased 1,276,498 shares at an average price of $50.59 and a total cost of $64.6 million. At September 30, 2018, the remaining amount that could be used to repurchase shares under the $350 million Stock Repurchase Program was $110.1 million.
