IRVINE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PPBI) (the “Company” or “Pacific Premier”), the holding company of Pacific Premier Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income of $36.0 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025, compared with net income of $33.9 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2024, and net income of $47.0 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024.

For the first quarter of 2025, the Company’s return on average assets (“ROAA”) was 0.80%, return on average equity (“ROAE”) was 4.87%, and return on average tangible common equity (“ROATCE”)⁽¹⁾ was 7.48%, compared to 0.75%, 4.61%, and 7.15%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2024, and 0.99%, 6.50%, and 10.05%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2024. Total assets were $18.09 billion at March 31, 2025, compared to $17.90 billion at December 31, 2024, and $18.81 billion at March 31, 2024.

Steven R. Gardner, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President of the Company, commented, “We delivered strong financial results in the first quarter, generating net income of $36.0 million, or $0.37 per share. These results demonstrate our ability to build on the momentum established in the second half of 2024, reflecting non-interest income growth and lower operating expenses. Notably, the cost of funds decreased 14 bps from the prior quarter to 1.74%, driving a four-basis point expansion in our net interest margin to 3.06%. Additionally, we maintained our strong capital levels, with our tier 1 common equity ratio at 16.99% and our total risk-based capital ratio at 20.23%, placing us among the top of our peers.

“We further strengthened our balance sheet with stable loan balances, higher new loan commitments, and strong non-maturity deposit growth. New loan commitments increased to $319.3 million, and non-maturity deposits increased by $247.0 million, or 8% annualized. Our deposit mix improved as noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $210.0 million, or 18% annualized, with noninterest-bearing deposits increasing to 33% of total deposits. These favorable trends translated to a 14 bps decrease in the cost of deposits to 1.65%, and our non-maturity cost of deposits improved 8 bps to 1.20%.

“The asset quality results for the first quarter remained strong across the board, reflecting the high credit quality of our client base. During the quarter, we had a provision reversal of $3.7 million and net recoveries of $343,000. Total delinquency decreased to $2.1 million, or just 0.02% of total loans. Our allowance for credit losses ratio, which stands at 1.46% of loans held for investment, remains at a healthy level and ranks in the top quartile relative to peers.

“In recent years, we prioritized risk management while building strong levels of capital, liquidity, and reserves. This proactive approach has us well-positioned with significant optionality. I am incredibly proud of our team’s commitment to our clients and organization, I want to thank my colleagues for all their contributions, collectively and individually.”

INCOME STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income totaled $123.4 million in the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 0.9%, from the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease in net interest income was primarily attributable to lower average interest-earning cash and investment securities balances and yields and two fewer days of interest. The decrease was partially offset by a favorable earning asset remix with $243.4 million of average loan growth.

The net interest margin for the first quarter of 2025 increased 4 basis points to 3.06%, from 3.02% in the prior quarter. The increase was primarily due to lower cost of funds.

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2025 decreased $21.8 million, or 15.0%, compared to the first quarter of 2024. The decrease was attributable to lower average interest-earning asset balances and yields, partially offset by lower average interest-bearing liabilities balances.

Provision for Credit Losses

For the first quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a $3.7 million provision reversal, compared to $814,000 provision reversal for the fourth quarter of 2024, and $3.9 million provision expense for the first quarter of 2024. The reversal of provision for credit losses for the current quarter was largely attributable to lower loan balances compared to the prior quarter, changes in the overall loan portfolio composition, and changes in economic forecasts.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2025 was $21.5 million, an increase of $1.5 million from the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $1.6 million increase in trust custodial account fees related to annual tax fees and a non-recurring $1.4 million increase in earnings on bank owned life insurance, partially offset by $1.0 million lower Community Reinvestment Act investment income.

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2025 decreased $4.3 million compared to the first quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a $5.1 million gain on debt extinguishment resulting from an early redemption of a $200.0 million FHLB term advance during the first quarter of 2024, partially offset by a $1.6 million increase in earnings on bank owned life insurance.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $100.3 million for the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of $394,000 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a $4.2 million decrease in legal and professional services, driven by the prior quarter’s $3.5 million insurance claim receivable reversal, partially offset by a $2.4 million increase in compensation and benefits expenses, primarily related to higher payroll taxes and employee benefits.

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2025 decreased by $2.3 million compared to the first quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.3 million decrease in compensation and benefits and a $1.1 million decrease in premises and occupancy.

BALANCE SHEET HIGHLIGHTS

Loans

Loans held for investment totaled $12.02 billion at March 31, 2025, a decrease of $16.8 million, or 0.1% from December 31, 2024, and a decrease of $989.1 million, or 7.6%, from March 31, 2024. The decrease from December 31, 2024 was primarily due to lower loan purchases, and a decrease in credit line draws, partially offset by slower prepayments and maturities and higher new loan production and fundings.

New origination activity during the first quarter of 2025 increased slightly compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, and increased compared to the first quarter of 2024. New loan commitments totaled $319.3 million, and new loan fundings totaled $207.3 million, compared to $316.0 million in loan commitments and $193.8 million in new loan fundings for the fourth quarter of 2024, and $45.6 million in loan commitments and $14.0 million in new loan fundings for the first quarter of 2024.

At March 31, 2025, the total loan-to-deposit ratio was 82.0%, compared to 83.3% and 85.7% at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

The total end-of-period weighted average interest rate on loans, excluding fees and discounts and impact from interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges, at March 31, 2025 increased two basis points to 4.80%, compared to 4.78% at December 31, 2024, and 4.91% at March 31, 2024. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily attributable to higher-yielding new loan fundings and loan purchases, which exceeded the rates of loan prepayments and payoffs. Conversely, the year-over-year decrease was primarily due to changes in loan portfolio composition and the repricing of variable-rate loans in response to decreases in benchmark interest rates in the fourth quarter of 2024, as well as customers paying down and paying off higher-rate loans.

The weighted average interest rate on new loan commitments was 6.95% in the first quarter of 2025, compared to 6.92% in the fourth quarter of 2024, and 8.62% in the first quarter of 2024.

Allowance for Credit Losses

At March 31, 2025, our allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on loans held for investment was $175.0 million, a decrease of $3.2 million from December 31, 2024 and a decrease of $17.4 million from March 31, 2024. The decreases in the ACL from December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024 primarily reflects the relative changes in the size and composition of our loan portfolio and updates to the economic forecasts.

During the first quarter of 2025, the Company had $343,000 of net recoveries, compared to $1.4 million of net charge-offs during the fourth quarter of 2024, and $6.4 million of net charge-offs during the first quarter of 2024.

In total, investment securities were $3.46 billion at March 31, 2025, an increase of $63.4 million from December 31, 2024, and an increase of $584.0 million from March 31, 2024. The increase in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to purchases of $220.9 million in shorter-term AFS U.S. Treasury securities and an improvement of $7.4 million in AFS investment securities mark-to-market unrealized loss, partially offset by principal payments, amortization and accretion, and redemptions totaling $164.9 million.

The increase in investment securities from March 31, 2024 was the result of $1.48 billion in purchases of AFS and HTM investment securities and an improvement of $24.3 million in AFS securities mark-to-market unrealized loss, partially offset by principal payments, amortization and accretion, and redemptions totaling $922.2 million.

The increase from the prior quarter was primarily driven by increases of $210.1 million in noninterest-bearing checking and $76.3 million in money market and savings, partially offset by decreases of $44.6 million in retail certificates of deposit and $39.4 million in interest-bearing checking.

The decrease from March 31, 2024 was attributable to decreases of $271.9 million in brokered certificates of deposit, $170.5 million in noninterest-bearing checking, $123.4 million in money market and savings, and $29.6 million in retail certificates of deposit, partially offset by an increase of $73.8 million in interest-bearing checking.

GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS

PACIFIC PREMIER BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Unaudited)

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operational performance and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of such financial performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures. As other companies may use different calculations for these adjusted measures, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled adjusted measures reported by other companies.

For periods presented below, return on average assets excluding the FDIC special assessment is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP based amounts. We calculate this figure by excluding the FDIC special assessment and the related tax impact from net income. Management believes that the exclusion of such nonrecurring items from this financial measure provides useful information to gain an understanding of the operating results of our core business and a better comparison of financial performance.

For periods presented below, return on average tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate this figure by excluding amortization of intangible assets expense from net income and excluding the average intangible assets and average goodwill from the average stockholders’ equity during the periods indicated. Management believes that the exclusion of such items from this financial measure provides useful information to gain an understanding of the operating results of our core business. The adjusted net income, adjusted return on average equity, and adjusted return on average tangible common equity further exclude the nonrecurring items to provide a better comparison to the financial results of prior periods.

Efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP-based amounts. This figure represents the ratio of noninterest expense, less amortization of intangible assets and other real estate owned operations, where applicable, to the sum of net interest income before provision for credit losses and total noninterest income less net gain from debt extinguishment. The adjusted efficiency ratio further excludes the FDIC special assessment to provide a better comparison to the financial results of prior periods. Management believes that the exclusion of such items from this financial measure provides useful information to gain an understanding of the operating results of our core business.

Tangible book value per share and tangible common equity to tangible assets (the “tangible common equity ratio”) are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate tangible book value per share by dividing tangible common equity by common shares outstanding, as compared to book value per share, which we calculate by dividing common stockholders’ equity by shares outstanding. We calculate the tangible common equity ratio by excluding the balance of intangible assets from common stockholders’ equity and dividing by tangible assets. We believe that this information is consistent with the treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios. Accordingly, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide information that is important to investors and that is useful in understanding our capital position and ratios.

Cost of non-maturity deposits is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP-based amounts. Cost of non-maturity deposits is calculated as the ratio of non-maturity deposit interest expense to average non-maturity deposits. We calculate non-maturity deposit interest expense by excluding interest expense for all certificates of deposit from total deposit expense, and we calculate average non-maturity deposits by excluding all certificates of deposit from total deposits. Management believes cost of non-maturity deposits is a useful measure to assess the Company’s deposit base, including its potential volatility.
