As previously announced, on April 5, 2017, CU Bancorp entered into an agreement and plan of merger (“the agreement”) with PacWest Bancorp (“PacWest”). Upon completion of the merger, CU Bancorp will merge with and into PacWest, with PacWest surviving the merger, and CU Bancorp’s wholly-owned bank subsidiary, California United Bank, will merge with and into PacWest’s wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Pacific Western Bank. The combined company will operate under the PacWest Bank name and brand. The agreement was approved and adopted by the Boards of Directors of both CU Bancorp and PacWest. Closing of the transaction, which is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2017, is contingent upon shareholder approval and receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, along with the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

Under terms of the agreement, CU Bancorp shareholders will receive 0.5308 shares of PacWest common stock and $12.00 in cash for each share of CU Bancorp, which when announced on April 6, 2017, represented a price 2.8 times the Company’s tangible book value at December 31, 2016, and 22 times the Company’s analysts’ consensus estimate of its earnings per share for the full-year of 2017.

Second Quarter 2017 Summary Results

“Second quarter net income of $9.3 million represents an all-time record for CUB, with earnings increasing 31% from last year’s second quarter and 20% from the first quarter of 2017,” said David Rainer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CU Bancorp and California United Bank. “Second quarter loan growth of $105 million is also an all-time record, with total loans increasing 10% from last year’s second quarter and 5% from the first quarter of this year, which on a linked-quarter basis, represents an annualized growth rate of 21%.

“Deposits grew $243 million or 10% from the year-ago quarter. After three consecutive quarters in which deposit growth was more than $100 million per quarter, in the second quarter of 2017 we experienced a drawdown in deposits of $117 million. As we noted previously, this was not totally unexpected, as we anticipated withdrawals related to taxes in the second quarter. Non-interest bearing demand deposits ended the quarter modestly higher at 55% of total deposits, evidence our core deposit relationships remain intact, as our relationship managers continue to provide outstanding customer service.

“We are very pleased with CUB’s second quarter performance and we continue to move toward our merger with PacWest in the fourth quarter, which will provide CUB customers with expanded banking services and branch locations.”

Net Income and Profitability Ratios

Net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2017 was $9.0 million or $0.51 per fully diluted share, compared with net income available to common shareholders of $6.8 million or $0.39 per fully diluted share for the second quarter of 2016. The growth in net income available to common shareholders from the year-ago quarter is attributable to a $2.5 million increase in total interest income, which is primarily the result of the Company’s strong loan growth since the prior period, as well as a $2.7 million increase in non-interest income, primarily related to death benefit claims from bank owned life insurance. Non-interest expense in the second quarter of 2017 increased $2.0 million from the year-ago quarter; the increase was largely due to $1.5 million in merger expenses.

Net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2017 was $9.0 million or $0.51 per fully diluted share, compared with net income available to common shareholders of $7.5 million or $0.42 per fully diluted share in the first quarter of 2017. The growth in net income available to common shareholders from the prior quarter was due to increases of $249 thousand and $350 thousand in net interest income and gain on sale of SBA loans, respectively, and a $2.8 million increase in non-interest income, largely related to death benefit claims from bank owned life insurance. Non-interest expense in the second quarter of 2017 included $1.5 million in merger expenses; the previous quarter reported no merger expense.

Net income available to common shareholders for the year-to-date period ending June 30, 2017, increased $3.4 million or 26% over the same year-to-date period of 2016. Diluted earnings per share for the year-to-date period ending June 30, 2017, increased $0.18 or 24% compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase was driven by increases in net interest income of $4.9 million or 10%, and $2.7 million in non-interest income for the year-to-date period ending June 30, 2017, compared to the same period of the prior year. Non-interest expense for the year-to-date period ending June 30, 2017, increased $3.5 million or 12%, which included $1.5 million in merger expenses; the same period of the prior year had no merger expenses.

The following table shows certain of the Company’s performance ratios for the second quarter of 2017, the first quarter of 2017, the second quarter of 2016, as well as year-to-date 2017 and 2016:

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income totaled $26.4 million for the second quarter of 2017, an increase of $2.2 million or 9% from the second quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily driven by strong loan growth over the last year.

The Company’s net interest income was positively impacted in the second quarter of 2016 and on a limited basis in the second quarter of 2017 by the recognition of fair value discounts earned on early payoffs of acquired loans. In the second quarter of 2017 the Company recorded $98 thousand in discounts earned on early loan payoffs of acquired loans, which had a positive impact on the net interest margin of only 2 basis points. In the second quarter of 2016 the Company recorded both $546 thousand in discounts earned on early loan payoffs of acquired loans and other associated payoff benefits of $359 thousand, which had a positive impact on the net interest margin of 14 basis points.

The net interest margin in the second quarter of 2017 was 3.75%, compared to 3.81% in the second quarter of 2016. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease of $808 thousand in discounts earned on early loan payoffs and other associated payoff benefits in the second quarter of 2017, compared to the year ago period.

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2017 increased $249 thousand from the first quarter of 2017. While second quarter loan growth was robust; the majority of the loans funded late in the quarter, as a result, net interest income didn’t fully benefit from the quarter’s loan growth. Additionally, discounts earned on early loan payoffs of acquired loans and other associated payoff benefits declined $897 thousand from the prior quarter.

The Company’s net interest income was positively impacted in the first quarter of 2017 and on a limited basis in the second quarter of 2017 by the recognition of fair value discounts earned on early payoffs of acquired loans. In the second quarter of 2017 the Company recorded $98 thousand in discounts earned on early loan payoffs, which had a positive impact on the net interest margin of only 2 basis points. In the first quarter of 2017 the Company recorded both $688 thousand in discounts earned on early loan payoffs of acquired loans and other associated payoff benefits of $306 thousand, which had a positive impact on the net interest margin of 14 basis points.

The net interest margin in the second quarter of 2017 was 3.75%, compared to 3.67% in the first quarter of 2017. The increase was primarily driven by average loans being a higher percentage of earning assets in the second quarter of 2017 than the previous quarter, which was due to a decrease in the Company’s average deposits.

The core loan yield for the second quarter of 2017 was 4.72%, compared to 4.65% in the previous quarter, reflecting the prime rate increases in March and June of 2017.

As of June 30, 2017, the Company had $8 million of discounts remaining on acquired accruing loans.

The Company’s cost of funds was 0.15% in the second quarter of 2017, compared to 0.12% in the second quarter of 2016 and 0.15% in the first quarter of 2017. The small year-over-year increase reflects the strength of the Bank’s core deposit base, despite three prime rate increases since March 31, 2016.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income was $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2017, an increase of $2.7 million from $3.0 million in the same quarter of the prior year. The increase was primarily due to $2.5 million in benefits from bank owned life insurance, included in other non-interest income, that was largely related to the recent deaths of three Bank employees, two of whom were no longer with the Company. Gain on sale of SBA loans increased $67 thousand in the second quarter of 2017, compared to the year-ago quarter.

Non-interest income in the second quarter of 2017 increased $2.8 million or 98% over the first quarter of 2017. The increase was primarily due to a $2.5 million increase in other non-interest income, largely related to the bank owned life insurance benefits discussed above, as well as an increase of $73 thousand in transaction referral income. Gain on sale of SBA loans increased $350 thousand compared with the prior quarter.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2017 was $17.1 million, an increase of $2.0 million, or 14% compared to non-interest expense of $15.1 million for the same period of the prior year. In the second quarter of 2017 the Company recorded $1.5 million in merger-related expenses; in the year-ago period the Company recorded no merger-related expenses. In the second quarter of 2017 salaries and employee benefits increased by $775 thousand over the second quarter of 2016, as average full-time equivalent employees grew to 290 for the period ending June 30, 2017, compared to an average of 277 full-time equivalent employees in the year-ago period. Additionally, the Bank’s annual merit increases were effective in the second quarter of 2017.

Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2017 was $17.1 million, an increase of $427 thousand or 3% over the first quarter of 2017. The increase was due to merger expenses of $1.5 million incurred in the second quarter of 2017; the prior quarter had no reported merger expenses. Merger expenses were partially offset by a decrease of $483 thousand in salaries and employee benefits in the second quarter of 2017, compared to the prior quarter, which was largely related to the decline in seasonal compensation expenses incurred annually in the first quarter, such as FICA and 401(k) employee contribution matches. Additionally, legal and professional fees decreased by $549 thousand in the second quarter; $230 thousand of the decrease was due to legal fees related to the merger that were incurred prior to the signing of the definitive agreement in the first quarter that were reclassified as merger expenses after the signing of the agreement in the second quarter.

Income Tax

In the second quarter of 2017 the Company benefited from a discrete tax benefit of $1 million provided by the tax-exempt death benefit claims from the Company’s bank owned life insurance. The Company also benefited from the vesting of 4,500 restricted shares during the quarter, which provided a discrete excess tax benefit of $29 thousand. The Company recorded non-deductible merger expenses that resulted in an additional tax expense for the Company of $264 thousand. The effective tax rate for the end of second quarter was 36%; without the above mentioned discrete tax benefit items and the additional tax expense as a result of the non-deductible merger expenses, the effective tax rate would have been 39%. This compares to an effective tax rate of 36% for the previous quarter, which benefitted from the exercise of 27,942 stock options and vesting of 30,582 restricted stock shares with a discrete excess tax benefit of $424 thousand.

Balance Sheet

Assets

Total assets at June 30, 2017, were $3.0 billion, a year-over-year increase of $262 million from June 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to strong growth in total deposits.

Tangible book value per share at June 30, 2017, was $15.17, an increase of $0.65 or 4% from March 31, 2017, and $1.71 or 13% from June 30, 2016.

Loans

Total loans were $2.2 billion at June 30, 2017, an increase of $105 million or 21% annualized from $2.0 billion at the end of the prior quarter. This also represents an increase of $200 million or 10% from June 30, 2016. The increase in loans for both periods was due to strong loan growth, as well as reduced payoffs and pay downs in the second quarter of 2017.

During the second quarter of 2017, the Company had $124 million of net organic loan production. Pay downs in the acquired loan portfolios were approximately $19 million in the same quarter.

Total commercial and industrial loans outstanding increased $11 million from the prior quarter, as utilization of commercial and industrial line of credit commitments increased to 43%, compared to 40% in the previous quarter and 45% in the year-ago quarter.

Loans secured by real estate grew $80 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the prior quarter. Growth was spread throughout the portfolio and not concentrated in any single category.

At June 30, 2017, commercial and industrial loans, and owner-occupied real estate loans combined were $943 million or 44% of total loans, compared to $921 million or 45% at March 31, 2017. At June 30, 2016, commercial and industrial loans, and owner-occupied real estate were $948 million or 49% of total loans.

Deposits

Total deposits at June 30, 2017 were $2.6 billion, an increase of $243 million or 10% from the second quarter of 2016 and a decrease of $117 million from the end of the prior quarter. Non-interest bearing deposits were $1.5 billion or 55% of total deposits at June 30, 2017, compared to 56% at June 30, 2016, and 54% at March 31, 2017. Average deposits per branch were $293 million per branch as of June 30, 2017.

As the Company noted in its first quarter earnings release, the buildup of deposits during the first quarter was likely related to customers accumulating cash in anticipation of federal and state income taxes, as well as property taxes in California. Additionally, a number of clients made distributions to their investment partners in the second quarter.

Cost of deposits for the quarter was 0.13%, compared to 0.13% in the prior quarter and 0.10% in the year-ago quarter.

Asset Quality

Total non-performing assets were $726 thousand, or 0.02% of total assets at June 30, 2017, compared with $2.6 million or 0.09% of total assets at June 30, 2016.

Total nonaccrual loans were $726 thousand or 0.03% of total loans, at June 30, 2017, compared with $2.6 million or 0.13% of total loans at June 30, 2016.

During the second quarter of 2017, the Company recorded net recoveries of $20 thousand, compared with net recoveries of $231 thousand in the first quarter of 2017 and $868 thousand in the second quarter of 2016.

The Company recorded a loan loss provision for the second quarter of 2017 of $701 thousand, associated with strong net organic loan growth of $124 million. In the first quarter of 2017 the Company recorded no loan loss provision, due to net recoveries and limited organic loan growth. In the second quarter of 2016 the Company recorded a loan loss provision of $1.1 million, associated with strong net organic loan growth of $121 million and a specific reserve of $594 thousand for an impaired loan.

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans (excluding acquired loans that have been marked to fair value and their related allowance) was 1.13% at June 30, 2017, compared with 1.17% at March 31, 2017, and 1.22% at June 30, 2016.

GAAP RECONCILIATIONS

These non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of results reported under GAAP.

TCE represents common shareholders’ equity less goodwill and certain intangible assets. A reconciliation of CU Bancorp’s total shareholders’ equity to TCE is provided in the table below for the periods indicated:
