COSTA MESA, Calif., April 24, 2015 (Globenewswire) - Pacific Mercantile Bancorp (NASDAQ: PMBC), the holding company of Pacific Mercantile Bank (the “Bank”), a wholly owned banking subsidiary, and PM Asset Resolution, Inc. ("PMAR"), a wholly owned non-bank subsidiary, today reported its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
For the first quarter of 2015, the Company reported a net loss of $85 thousand, or $0.00 per share. This compares with net income of $287 thousand, or $0.01 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2014, and net income of $451 thousand, or $0.02 per share, in the first quarter of 2014. The decrease in earnings as compared to the fourth quarter of 2014 is primarily attributable to no net gains on sale of small business administration (“SBA”) loans and a decrease in our net interest income as a result of lower loan yield for the first quarter of 2015, partially offset by a decrease in our noninterest expense for the same period.
During the first quarter of 2015, the Company made the strategic decision to discontinue its business of funding broker-originated SBA loans. The Bank employed a group, originally hired in May 2012, to focus on originating loans through the SBA 504 and 7(a) lending programs (“SBA Group”). The SBA Group sourced loans through broker relationships, which generally did not result in the Bank having the borrower's full banking relationship. We concluded that the transactional nature of the business model in the SBA Group was not in line with our strategy of transitioning to a relationship-oriented commercial banking model. As a result of this decision, we terminated the 15 employees within the SBA Group and we incurred total personnel expense including severance pay of $611 thousand, which is recorded within noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and will be nonrecurring. We do not expect any additional expenses to be incurred as a result of this decision. The Bank continues to be in good standing with the SBA as a Preferred Lender and we will continue to originate 7(a) and SBA 504 loans through our core relationship banking strategy. We intend to sell the guaranteed portion of the 7(a) loans in the secondary market from time to time.
Commenting on the results, Steve Buster, President & CEO of Pacific Mercantile Bancorp, said, “During the first quarter, we saw a continuation of our strong commercial loan production, which resulted in annualized growth of 14.4% in this portfolio. We are continuing to gain traction with our asset-based lending, which added $15.3 million of new commitments during the first quarter. The total growth in our portfolio was impacted by a higher-than-usual level of payoffs, as we chose not to renew a number of legacy investor-owned commercial real estate (CRE) credits that were taken out by other banks at low, long-term fixed rates. We intend to continue managing other legacy CRE loans out of the Bank, but we have a strong pipeline of commercial lending

opportunities that we believe will enable us to generate a higher level of overall growth in the loan portfolio over the remainder of 2015.
“When the costs associated with disbanding our SBA Group are excluded, we saw improvement in our core earnings power during the first quarter. Going forward, we expect to see growth in net interest income resulting from higher loan balances, increasing non-interest income as we resume selling our SBA loan production, higher levels of efficiency, and lower credit costs. We are optimistic that the positive trends in these areas will result in a steady improvement in our overall level of profitability over the remainder of the year,” said Mr. Buster.

Net Interest Income
Q1 2015 vs Q4 2014. Net interest income decreased $532 thousand, or 6.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2014, primarily as a result of:
• | A decrease in interest income of $734 thousand, or 7.2%, primarily attributable to a decrease in the yield on loans during the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2014, and a slightly lower average loan balance over the same period; partially offset by |
• | A decrease in interest expense of $202 thousand, or 13.3%, due to an interest accrual during the fourth quarter of 2014 related to our junior subordinated debentures and a decrease in the volume of certificates of deposit in the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2014, partially offset by an increase in the rates of interest paid on our savings and money market accounts in the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2014. |
Our net interest margin decreased to 3.24% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from 3.26% for the three months ended December 31, 2014, primarily attributable to a decrease in our yield on loans to 4.42% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from 4.65% for the three months ended December 31, 2014, partially offset by a decrease in our cost of funds to 0.76% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from 0.83% for the three months ended December 31, 2014.
The decrease in our loan yield from the three months ended December 31, 2014 to the three months ended March 31, 2015 is due to a $14.4 million loan relationship moving from nonaccrual cash basis of accounting to full nonaccrual basis of accounting.
Q1 2015 vs Q1 2014. Net interest income increased $305 thousand, or 3.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily as a result of:
• | An increase in interest income of $184 thousand, or 2.0%, primarily attributable to an increase in interest earned on loans as a result of a higher average loan balance during the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 partially offset by a decrease in the yield on loans over the same period; and |
• | A decrease in interest expense of $121 thousand, or 8.4%, as a result of a decrease in the volume of certificates of deposit in the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 and a decrease in the cost of our other borrowings as a result of our decision to decrease our Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings over the same period, partially offset by an increase in the rates of interest paid on our savings and money market accounts. |
Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
Q1 2015 vs Q4 2014. The provision for loan and lease losses remained flat for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2014, as a result of no loan provision recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014. There was no provision for loan and lease losses during the three months ended March 31, 2015 as loan growth was minimal during the period and, with the exception of a previously identified problem loan relationship, asset
quality continued to improve. No provision was recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2014 as a result of a significant loan recovery during the three months ended December 31, 2014 that offset the growth in our loan portfolio and nominally improved asset quality. For the three months ended December 31, 2014, we had net recoveries of $663 thousand. We had net charge-offs of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Q1 2015 vs Q1 2014. The provision for loan and lease losses decreased $450 thousand, or 100.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily as a result of improving asset quality evidenced by declining loan delinquencies, lower levels of classified loans and generally positive asset quality trends which more than offset the portfolio growth.
Noninterest Income
Q1 2015 vs Q4 2014. Noninterest income decreased $509 thousand, or 36.6%, for the three months March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2014, primarily as a result of a $657 thousand decrease in net gain on sale of SBA loans partially offset by a $200 thousand recovery during the first quarter of 2015 on a charged off loan in excess of the amount previously charged off against the allowance for loan and lease losses.
Q1 2015 vs Q1 2014. Noninterest income decreased by $412 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 primarily as a result of a $686 thousand decrease in net gain on sale of SBA loans partially offset by a $200 thousand recovery during the first quarter of 2015 on a charged off loan in excess of the amount previously charged off against the allowance for loan and lease losses.
Noninterest Expense
Q1 2015 vs Q4 2014. Noninterest expense decreased $619 thousand, or 6.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2014, primarily as a result of:
• | A decrease of $95 thousand in salaries and employee benefits primarily related to a decrease in our incentive compensation accrual during the first quarter of 2015 and a refund on our workers compensation policy received during the quarter, partially offset by the personnel expense, including severance pay, related to the termination of the SBA Group; |
• | A decrease of $129 thousand in professional fees primarily attributable to a decrease in our legal expenses and the recapture of fees related to a legal settlement; |
• | A decrease of $168 thousand in loan-related expenses as a result of decreased activity related to SBA loans; and |
• | A decrease of $200 thousand in the carrying costs and other costs associated with real properties acquired by or in lieu of loan foreclosures (commonly referred to as other real estate owned or “OREO”) as a result of lower carrying costs and other expenses related to OREO during the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2014; partially offset by |
• | An increase of $370 thousand in business development as a result of a reclassification of business development expense to other noninterest expense during the fourth quarter of 2014. |
Q1 2015 vs Q1 2014. Noninterest expense decreased $305 thousand, or 3.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily as a result of:
• | A decrease of $759 thousand in OREO expenses as a result of lower carrying costs and other expenses related to OREO during the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014; partially offset by |
• | An increase of $304 thousand in salaries and employee benefits as a result of the personnel expense, including severance pay, related to the termination of the SBA Group partially offset by a refund on our workers compensation policy received during the first quarter of 2015. |
Income tax provision (benefit)
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recorded no income tax provision or benefit. We recorded no income tax provision for the first quarter of 2015 as a result of positive and negative evidence that management evaluated. Based on the analysis performed, management chose not to release any portion of the $12.1 million valuation allowance as of March 31, 2015. We had a $608 thousand income tax benefit in the fourth quarter of 2014 as a result of an intraperiod tax allocation where the benefit of the income tax provision that was recorded in discontinued operations and other comprehensive income created a tax benefit in continuing operations. On a net basis, we recorded no income tax provision for the fourth quarter of 2014 as a result of positive and negative evidence that management evaluated. Based on the analysis performed, management chose not to release any portion of the $12.1 million valuation allowance as of December 31, 2014. We had no income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as a result of the positive and negative evidence that management evaluated. As a result of some of the positive evidence evaluated, management determined that no increase in the valuation allowance was needed in the first quarter of 2014.
Discontinued operations
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we had no income or loss related to our discontinued operations, as compared to a net loss from discontinued operations of $658 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and net income of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. We had no income from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as a result of the final wind down of the mortgage business in 2014. The net loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended December 31, 2014 was primarily attributable to the income tax provision allocated to discontinued operations for the year partially offset by the recapture of a portion of our expenses related to the mortgage business. The net income from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 primarily related to an increase in the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights portfolio, that was subsequently sold during the second quarter of 2014.
Balance Sheet Information
Loans
As indicated in the table below, at March 31, 2015 gross loans totaled approximately $840.3 million, which represented an increase of $2.3 million, or 0.3%, from gross loans outstanding at December 31, 2014. The following table sets forth the composition, by loan category, of our loan portfolio at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Totals | $ | 885,983 | $ | 916,309 | |||
The decrease in our total deposits from December 31, 2014 to March 31, 2015 is primarily attributable to a decrease of $48.2 million in our certificates of deposit and a decrease of $1.9 million in demand deposits partially offset by an increase of $19.8 million in money market and savings deposits. The decrease in certificates of deposit from December 31, 2014 to March 31, 2015
was primarily the result of our decision to increase our core deposit base and decrease our loan-to-deposit ratio. Due primarily to that decision and the resulting decrease in certificates of deposit, lower priced core deposits increased to 65%, and higher priced time deposits decreased to 35%, of total deposits at March 31, 2015, as compared to 61% and 39% of total deposits, respectively, at December 31, 2014.

OREO increased to $1.9 million at March 31, 2015 from $1.6 million at December 31, 2014, which was primarily due to the foreclosure of vacant land during the quarter. The Bank plans to sell the property acquired in the first quarter of 2015 to PMAR during the second quarter of 2015. At March 31, 2015, the Bank had one OREO property for $280 thousand and the remainder of the balance was held at PMAR.

At March 31, 2015, the allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) totaled $12.6 million, which was approximately $1.2 million less than at December 31, 2014 and $699 thousand more than at March 31, 2014. The ALLL activity during the three months ended March 31, 2015 included net charge-offs of $1.2 million after recoveries of approximately $300 thousand. There was no provision for loan and lease losses as loan growth was minimal during the period and, with the exception of a previously identified loan relationship, asset quality continued to improve. Based on our analysis, no provision for loan and lease losses was required. The ratio of the ALLL-to-total loans outstanding as of March 31, 2015 was 1.50% as compared to 1.65% and 1.54% as of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively.
Capital Resources
At March 31, 2015, we had total regulatory capital on a consolidated basis of approximately $128.4 million, and the Bank had total regulatory capital of approximately $126.5 million. The ratio of the Bank’s total capital-to-risk weighted assets, which is the principal federal bank regulatory measure of the financial strength of banking institutions, was 14.6% and, as a result, the
Bank continued to be classified, under federal bank regulatory guidelines, as a “well-capitalized” banking institution, which is the highest of the capital standards established by federal banking regulatory authorities.
The following table sets forth the regulatory capital and capital ratios of the Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank (on a stand-alone basis) at March 31, 2015, as compared to the regulatory requirements that must be met for a banking institution to be rated as a well-capitalized institution.

Forward-Looking Information
This news release contains statements regarding our expectations, beliefs and views about our future financial performance and our business, trends and expectations regarding the markets in which we operate, and our future plans. Those statements, which include the quotation from management, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Often, they include words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” or “may”. Forward-looking statements are based on current information available to us and our assumptions about future events over which we do not have control. Moreover, our business and our markets are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause our actual financial performance in the future, and the future performance of our markets (which can affect both our financial performance and the market prices of our shares), to differ, possibly materially, from our expectations as set forth in the forward-looking statements contained in this news release.
In addition to the risk of incurring loan losses, which is an inherent risk of the banking business, these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: the risk that the economic recovery in the United States, which is still relatively fragile, will be adversely affected by domestic or international economic conditions, which could cause us to incur additional loan losses and adversely affect our results of operations in the future; the risk that our interest margins and, therefore, our net interest
income will be adversely affected by changes in prevailing interest rates; the risk that we will not succeed in further reducing our remaining nonperforming assets, in which event we would face the prospect of further loan charge-offs and write-downs of other real estate owned and would continue to incur expenses associated with the management and disposition of those assets; the risk that we will not be able to manage our interest rate risks effectively, in which event our operating results could be harmed; the prospect that government regulation of banking and other financial services organizations will increase, causing our costs of doing business to increase and restricting our ability to take advantage of business and growth opportunities; the risk that our efforts to develop a robust commercial banking platform may not succeed; and the risk that we may be unable to realize our expected level of increasing deposit inflows.

Net income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, excluding SBA Group is a financial measure that is not defined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“Non-GAAP financial measure”). We present this measure to provide investors with additional information that excludes amounts that are not indicative of our ongoing operating results. Specifically, we have excluded amounts associated with the discontinuation of the SBA Group, a group originally hired in May 2012 to focus on originating loans through the SBA 504 and 7(a) lending program. We consider this non-GAAP financial measure useful to investors to facilitate the forecasting of our operating results for future periods and, in the future, to allow for the comparison of our results to historical periods. A limitation of this non-GAAP financial measure is that it does not include all items that impact our net income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes. Management compensates for this limitation by also relying on the comparable GAAP financial measure of net income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes.
