FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | July 19, 2005 |
FIRST COMMUNITY BANCORP ANNOUNCES RECORD EARNINGS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2005
—Net Earnings for the Second Quarter of 2005 Totaled $11.8 million, Up 34% Over
Second Quarter of 2004 and Up 15% Over First Quarter of 2005—
—Second Quarter Diluted EPS of $0.72 per Share, Up 31% Over Second Quarter 2004
and Up 14% Over First Quarter 2005 —
—Net Interest Margin for Second Quarter 2005 Reaches 6.19%—
Rancho Santa Fe, California . . . First Community Bancorp (Nasdaq: FCBP) today announced second quarter 2005 record net earnings of $11.8 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, compared to second quarter 2004 net earnings of $8.8 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, and first quarter 2005 net earnings of $10.3 million, or $0.63 per diluted share. The increase in net earnings compared to last year resulted primarily from increased net interest income due to organic loan growth, acquisitions and expanded net interest margin. The increase over the first quarter of 2005 is due to increased net interest income and lower noninterest expense.
Net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2005, were $22.1 million, or $1.36 per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $16.3 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, for the same period of 2004.
The comparability of financial information is affected by our acquisitions. Operating results include the operations of acquired entities from the dates of acquisition. We acquired First Community Financial Corporation, or FC Financial, in March 2004, and Harbor National Bank, or Harbor, in April 2004, which together added $304.3 million in assets.

The increases in net earnings, ROA and ROE and the improvement in the efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2005 compared to the second quarter of 2004 were due to increases in our net interest margin and average loans. The increases in net earnings, ROA and ROE, as well as the improved efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2005 compared to the first quarter of 2005 were due mainly to increased net interest income, driven by higher loan yields and increased average loans, and lower noninterest expense.

The increases in net earnings, ROA and ROE and the improvement in efficiency ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period for 2004 were due to increases in our net interest margin and average loans.
Matt Wagner, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The second quarter was a terrific quarter, with positive contribution from all areas. We added over $65 million in demand deposits and over $45 million in average loans during the quarter, while maintaining credit quality and pricing discipline. Our results reflect continued emphasis on core growth and expense control.” Mr. Wagner continued, “In addition, we successfully negotiated two acquisition agreements during the quarter, and through the acquisitions of First American Bank and Pacific Liberty Bank we add nearly $400 million in assets at Pacific Western. These acquisitions should enhance our position in Southern California, Los Angeles and Orange Counties in particular, as one of the premier business banks in the region.”
Vic Santoro, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, also commented, “Our earnings growth reflects not only our continued organic growth, but also the impact of rate changes on our asset-sensitive balance sheet, as we continue to benefit from the general
2
increase in interest rates. Our loan yield increased 26 basis points outpacing a nine basis point increase in average cost of deposits over the same period of time, resulting in a net interest margin 22 basis points higher than last quarter.”
BALANCE SHEET GROWTH
Loans, net of deferred fees and costs, increased $44.1 million to $2.16 billion at June 30, 2005, from year end 2004. Loan growth was $33.9 million during the second quarter of 2005. Deposits decreased $245.9 million from year-end 2004 to $2.19 billion at June 30, 2005. Year-end 2004 deposits included a short-term $365.0 million interest-bearing deposit received on December 31, 2004, which has since been withdrawn by the customer. Excluding the $365.0 million deposit, our deposit balances increased $119.1 million since year-end. Demand deposits increased $99.7 million from year-end, including $66.3 million during the second quarter. Demand deposits totaled $1.04 billion at June 30, 2005, and represented 47.6% of total deposits at that date.
NET INTEREST INCOME CONTINUES TO INCREASE
Net interest income increased to $37.2 million for the second quarter of 2005 compared to $31.3 million for the same period of 2004 and $35.6 million for the first quarter of 2005. The year-over-year increase was mainly a result of increased interest income from our loan growth and increased loan yields offset by increased interest expense. Average earning assets increased $163.6 million, including an increase of $257.6 million in average loans, for the second quarter of 2005 when compared to the same period for 2004. Loan yields increased 70 basis points for the second quarter of 2005 compared to the same period of 2004. Total interest expense increased to $5.4 million for the second quarter of 2005 from $3.5 million for the same period of 2004 due to higher funding rates and increased FHLB advances used to fund loan growth. The increase in net interest income over the previous quarter resulted mostly from a combination of a 26 basis point increase in our loan yield and a $45.8 million increase in our average loans. Total interest expense increased in consecutive quarters due to higher funding rates and increased Federal Home Loan Bank advances used to fund loan growth.
Net interest income increased $15.1 million, or 26%, to $72.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, when compared to the same period of 2004. Interest income increased $18.7 million mostly as a result of the $376.3 million increase in average loans for the first six months of 2005, when compared to the same period of 2004. In addition, our loan yield increased 72 basis points. Interest expense increased $3.6 million year-over-year due to both an increase in the volume and cost of our funding sources. The cost of our interest-bearing liabilities increased to 1.42% for the six months ended June 30, 2005, from 1.00% for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase is due to an increase in borrowings, including subordinated debt, used to fund loan growth and acquisitions, as well as the effect from our borrowings, money market accounts and time deposits repricing in the higher interest rate environment.

NET INTEREST MARGIN CONTINUES TO EXPAND
The Company’s net interest margin for the second quarter of 2005 was 6.19%, an increase of 58 basis points when compared to the same period of 2004 and an increase of 22 basis points when compared to the first quarter of 2005. Yields on average earning assets were 7.09% and 6.22% for the second quarters of 2005 and 2004, respectively, and 6.75% for the first quarter of 2005. These increases in the net interest margin and the yield on average earning assets are due to the increase in our prime lending rate in response to the gradual rise in market interest rates offset by increased funding costs. The yield on average loans was 7.56% and 6.86% for the second quarters of 2005 and 2004, and 7.30% for the first quarter of 2005.
The average cost of deposits was 0.45% for the second quarter of 2005 compared to 0.34% and 0.36% for the second quarter of 2004 and the first quarter of 2005. These increases in deposit cost resulted from upward adjustments we made in rates offered on money market and certain time deposits. The overall cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased to 1.56% for the second quarter of 2005 compared to 1.01% for the same period of 2004 and 1.30% for the first quarter of 2005. These increases are attributed to increased balances for borrowed funds used to fund loan growth and the repricing of our borrowings in the increased interest rate environment.
Our net interest margin increased 68 basis points to 6.08% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from 5.40% for the same period of 2004. This increase is mainly the result of higher average loan balances and loan yields.
NONINTEREST INCOME ITEMS
Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2005 totaled $3.3 million, compared to $4.1 million for the second quarter of 2004 and $3.5 million for the first quarter of 2005. Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2005, totaled $6.8 million compared to $8.2 million for the same period in 2004. The decreases in noninterest income result largely from lower service charges and fees on deposit accounts which have declined due to increased market interest rate related earnings credits on business accounts.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE ITEMS
Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2005 totaled $19.9 million compared to $20.3 million for the second quarter of 2004 and $21.0 million for the first quarter of 2005. The decrease from the second quarter of 2004 to the second quarter of 2005 is due mainly to reduced occupancy and professional services offset by increased compensation. The increased compensation expense is largely the result of pay rate increases, staff additions to support expanded lending activity and increased incentive compensation accruals offset partially by decreased amortization of restricted and performance stock awards. The decrease in occupancy costs is primarily the result of $295,000 in leasehold improvement write-offs related to the relocation of a branch office incurred in second quarter 2004; no similar costs were incurred in 2005. The decrease in other professional services is due mainly to insurance company reimbursements of approximately $500,000 in legal fees.
4
The decrease in noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2005 compared to the first quarter of 2005 was due mainly to less compensation and other professional services costs. The decrease in compensation is attributed to the timing of payroll taxes. The decrease in other professional services is attributed to the legal fee reimbursements referred to above.
Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005, totaled $40.8 million compared to $38.2 million for the same period of 2004. The increase relates mostly to increased compensation expense from additional staff added through acquisitions and increased incentive compensation accruals and employee benefits. Professional services costs increased for legal matters and compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Noninterest expense includes the following noncash items for the periods indicated:

|
Intangible asset amortization is estimated to be $3.3 million for 2005, excluding any effect from the announced First American Bank and Pacific Liberty Bank acquisitions. Restricted and performance stock award amortization is estimated to be $4.0 million for 2005. These estimates are, however, subject to change.
CREDIT QUALITY
We made a provision for credit losses of $620,000 during the second quarter of 2005 compared to a $200,000 provision for the second quarter of 2004 and $800,000 for the first quarter of 2005. The provisions during the first six months of 2005 were in response to growth in the loan portfolio and the level of nonaccrual loans. The allowance for total credit losses totaled $31.4 million at June 30, 2005, and was comprised of the allowance for loan losses of $28.8 million and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments of $2.7 million. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans, net of deferred fees and costs, was 1.33% at June 30, 2005.
Nonaccrual loans decreased to $20.0 million, or 0.92% of loans net of deferred fees and costs, at June 30, 2005, from $21.7 million, or 1.02% of loans net of deferred fees and costs, at March 31, 2005. Components of the decrease were payoffs and cash collections of $6.3 million and additions of $4.6 million. The payoffs and cash collections amount included $1.7 million related to foreign nonaccrual loans and $2.8 million related to a secured credit. The second quarter of 2005 additions relate mainly to two well-secured real-estate relationships totaling $3.3 million. Included in the nonaccrual balance at June 30, 2005, were two relationships in our foreign portfolio totaling $7.1 million. The decline in the balance of these nonaccrual foreign relationships from the $8.8 million reported at March 31, 2005, is due to a combination of borrower payments and insurance proceeds as the majority of our exposure in the foreign loan portfolio is insured. Insurance proceeds
5
are received over time as claims are made with the insurance carriers. We believe we have adequate reserves on these loans to cover the loss exposure as measured by our methodology.
REGULATORY CAPITAL MEASURES ARE ABOVE THE WELL-CAPITALIZED MINIMUMS
First Community and its wholly-owned banking subsidiaries, Pacific Western National Bank and First National Bank, each remained well capitalized at June 30, 2005. Regulatory capital ratios for the Banks and the consolidated company are as follows:
|
| Pacific |
| First |
| Consolidated |
|
Tier 1 leverage capital ratio |
| 9.57 | % | 10.16 | % | 10.23 | % |
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio |

Total risked-based capital ratio |
| 10.84 | % | 11.84 | % | 11.71 | % |

On April 28, 2005, we announced that we had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all of the outstanding common stock and options of First American Bank for $62.3 million in cash.
