FIRST COMMUNITY BANCORP ANNOUNCES RECORD EARNINGS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2006
—Net Earnings for the First Quarter 2006 Totaled $17.4 million, Up 70% and 14%
Over the First and Fourth Quarters of 2005—
—First Quarter 2006 Diluted EPS of $0.88 per Share, Up 40% and 5% Over the First
and Fourth Quarters of 2005-
—First Quarter of 2006 Net Interest Margin of 6.82%—
Rancho Santa Fe, California . . . First Community Bancorp (Nasdaq: FCBP) today announced net earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, of $17.4 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $10.3 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The increase in net earnings compared to last year resulted primarily from increased net interest income due to acquisitions and organic loan growth and net interest margin expansion. This also compares to the fourth quarter 2005 net earnings of $15.3 million, or $0.84 per diluted share. The increases over the fourth quarter of 2005 are due mostly to increased net interest income from average loan growth.
We closed our acquisition of Cedars Bank on January 4, 2006, which added approximately $488.9 million in assets. Although the Cedars acquisition was an all-cash transaction, we sold 1,891,000 shares of common stock at the end of January for net proceeds of approximately $109.5 million in order to augment regulatory capital.
The comparability of financial information is affected by our acquisitions. Operating results include the operations of acquired entities from the dates of acquisition. In addition to the Cedars acquisition, during 2005 we acquired First American Bank and Pacific
1
Liberty Bank in August and October, respectively, which together added $469.2 million in assets.
Matt Wagner, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We made significant accomplishments during the first quarter. We closed the Cedars acquisition in early January and fully integrated its people, processes, and systems. At the end of January, we sold $109.5 million in common stock to provide regulatory capital to support the Cedars transaction. Our interest-sensitive loan portfolio coupled with the phase-out of higher cost deposits from the Cedars and prior acquisitions enabled us to achieve a net interest margin of 6.82%, only 3 basis points less than the 6.85% we posted in the fourth quarter of 2005. And lastly, we continue to be pleased with our credit quality. The combination of these items led to record profitability for the first quarter of 2006.” Mr. Wagner continued, “We look forward to closing the Foothill acquisition during the second quarter. With this acquisition, we’ll have approximately $4.5 billion in assets and a significant presence in the Inland Empire.”
Vic Santoro, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, also commented, “We are very pleased with the first quarter results. Our prompt integration of Cedars Bank and continued focus on expense control helped to reduce our efficiency ratio to 47.2% for the quarter. The common stock sold at the end of January increased our tangible equity to $234.0 million or 7.16% of tangible assets. We expect that tangible equity will be increased further upon the closing of the Foothill acquisition, which is an all-stock transaction.”

* Includes $142,000 of additional net earnings, or less than $0.01 per diluted share, related to the accounting change described below.
The increases in net earnings, ROA and ROE and the improvement in the efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005 were due primarily to increases in our net interest margin and in our average loans. Average loans increased from a combination of organic growth and acquisitions. The increase in net earnings and improvement in our efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2006 compared to the fourth quarter of 2005 were due mainly to increased net interest income driven by average loan growth.
2
Net earnings for the fourth quarter of 2005 included an expense for a pending legal settlement related to certain previously disclosed litigation in the amount of $450,000 after tax ($775,000 pretax). There was no such expense in the first quarter of 2006.
BALANCE SHEET GROWTH
Loans, net of deferred fees and costs, increased $355.4 million, including $360.8 million of acquired loans, to $2.8 billion at March 31, 2006, from year end 2005. Deposits increased $238.9 million to $2.6 billion at March 31, 2006, from year end 2005. During the first quarter of 2006, we acquired $361.4 million in deposits through the Cedars acquisition. Demand deposits totaled $1.2 billion at March 31, 2006, and represented 45% of total deposits at that date. Loan demand in excess of deposit growth was funded by additional borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank.
NET INTEREST INCOME CONTINUES TO INCREASE
Net interest income increased to $52.0 million for the first quarter of 2006 compared to $35.6 million for the same period of 2005 and $46.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2005. The increases compared to the first quarter of 2005 and the prior quarter were mainly a result of increased interest income from higher loan yields and our loan growth, offset partially by higher interest expense. Average earning assets increased $671.2 million to $3.1 billion for the first quarter of 2006 when compared to the same period for 2005, including an increase of $733.8 million in average loans. These increases resulted from acquisitions and organic growth. Average earning assets increased $374.9 million, including a $412.0 million increase in average loans, for the first quarter of 2006 when compared to the fourth quarter of 2005 due largely to the Cedars acquisition. In addition, increases in our prime lending rate and loan repricings in response to market interest rate changes caused our loan yield to increase. Interest expense increased $5.6 million for the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005 due mostly to an increase in our total funding sources as well as the cost of such funds.
NET INTEREST MARGIN
Our net interest margin for the first quarter of 2006 was 6.82%, an increase of 85 basis points when compared to the same period of 2005 and a decrease of 3 basis points when compared to the fourth quarter of 2005. Yields on average earning assets were 8.16% and 6.75% for the first quarters of 2006 and 2005, respectively, and 7.85% for the fourth quarter of 2005. The yield on average loans was 8.55% and 7.30% for the first quarters of 2006 and 2005, and 8.35% for the fourth quarter of 2005. The increase in the net interest margin in the first quarter of 2006 over the same period of 2005 is due mainly to the increase in our prime lending rate in response to the gradual rise in market interest rates, offset in part by increased funding costs. The decrease in the net interest margin in the first quarter of 2006 over the fourth quarter of 2005 is due mainly to the impact of the mix and rate structure of the deposits acquired in the Cedars acquisition and increased borrowings to fund loans, offset by the increase in loan yield.
The average cost of deposits was 0.83% for the first quarter of 2006 compared to 0.36% and 0.58% for the first and fourth quarters of 2005. The increased deposit cost in the first quarter of 2006 compared to both the first and fourth quarters of 2005 resulted from
3
upward adjustments made in rates offered on money market and certain time deposits as well as the impact of the deposits acquired in the Cedars acquisition. The overall cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased to 2.28% for the first quarter of 2006 compared to 1.30% for the same period of 2005 and 1.77% for the fourth quarter of 2005. The increase over both the first and fourth quarters of 2005 is attributed largely to the increased average borrowings used to fund both loan growth and deposit flows, as well as the repricing of such borrowings in the higher interest rate environment.
NONINTEREST INCOME INCREASED
Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2006 totaled $3.7 million compared to $3.5 million earned in each of the first and fourth quarters of 2005. The increases in noninterest income result largely from increased commissions and fees for both loan and deposit related services as loan and deposit balances have increased. The Cedars acquisition added $95,000 of merchant discount fees related to the merchant card portfolio acquired. As we expect to sell this portfolio, merchant discount fee income is expected to decline in future periods.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE ITEMS
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2006 totaled $26.2 million compared to $21.0 million and $24.4 million for the first and fourth quarters of 2005. The increase compared to the first quarter of 2005 relates mostly to increased compensation expense which is a result of additional staff added through our acquisitions, pay rate increases, and increased incentive compensation accruals and employee benefits costs. Occupancy costs increased due to additional office locations added by acquisitions and most other general operating expenses increased due to the three acquisitions completed since August 2005.
The increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2005 is due mainly to increased compensation and occupancy costs due to the impact of the Cedars acquisition and increased professional fees. Most other expenses generally increased due to the Cedars acquisition. These increases were offset by a decline in other noninterest expense. Other noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2005 included an expense of $775,000 in connection with the pending settlement for an ongoing legal matter; there was no such expense in the first quarter of 2006.
Noninterest expense includes amortization of restricted and performance stock, which is included in compensation, and intangible asset amortization. Restricted and performance stock amortization totaled $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2006 compared to $1.0 million and $1.2 million for the first and fourth quarters of 2005. The increase compared to the prior quarters resulted largely from new awards made during the first quarter of 2006. Amortization expense for all restricted and performance stock awards is estimated to be $6.7 million for 2006. Intangible asset amortization increased from the fourth quarter of 2005 to the first quarter of 2006 by approximately $83,000 to $1.1 million. This increase resulted from additional amortization related to the Cedars acquisition offset by declines in amortization related to previous acquisitions. Intangible asset amortization is estimated to be $4.6 million for 2006, excluding any effect from the announced Foothill acquisition. The 2006 estimates of both restricted and performance stock award expense and intangible asset amortization are subject to change.

CREDIT QUALITY
Nonaccrual loans increased to $11.5 million, or 0.41% of loans, net of deferred fees and costs, at March 31, 2006, from $8.4 million, or 0.34% of loans net of deferred fees and costs, at December 31, 2005. The majority of this increase is represented by four collateralized credits which we believe are adequately secured and have appropriate reserves.
We made a provision for credit losses of $100,000 during the first quarter of 2006 in response to increased nonaccrual loans and, to a lesser extent, for increased average loan balances. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans, net of deferred fees and costs, was 1.34% at both March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. The allowance for credit losses to nonaccrual loans decreased to 328.8% as of March 31, 2006 compared to 391.5% as of December 31, 2005. The allowance for total credit losses totaled $37.9 million at March 31, 2006, and was comprised of the allowance for loan losses of $31.5 million and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments of $6.4 million.
ACCOUNTING CHANGE
On January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (“SFAS 123R”). As permitted under formerly effective accounting rules, we did not consider estimated forfeitures of stock awards during periods prior to January 1, 2006, and recognized the effect of forfeitures as they occurred. As required by SFAS 123R, we recognized the cumulative effect of estimated forfeitures for unvested restricted stock awards as of December 31, 2005, by increasing our first quarter of 2006 earnings by $242,000. The after tax effect of this adjustment was to increase net earnings by $142,000, or less than $0.01 per diluted share.
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 March 31, 2006. Regulatory capital ratios for the Banks and the consolidated company are as follows:

ACQUISITIONS
On December 15, 2005, we announced that we had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all of the outstanding common stock and options of Foothill Independent Bancorp, parent of Foothill Independent Bank, in exchange for First Community common stock, along with cash to existing Foothill option holders, for a total purchase price of approximately $238 million. Foothill had $798.7 million in assets at December 31, 2005,
5
and twelve branches across Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. The Foothill transaction is subject to customary conditions, including the approval of both Foothill’s and First Community’s shareholders and bank regulatory authorities, and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2006. Immediately following the completion of the acquisition, it is anticipated that Foothill Independent Bank will be merged into Pacific Western.
On January 4, 2006, we completed our previously announced acquisition of Cedars Bank. First Community paid $120.0 million in cash for all the outstanding common stock and options of Cedars Bank. Upon completion of the acquisition, our assets were increased by $488.9 million, and Cedars Bank was merged into Pacific Western and its branches were added to the Pacific Western branch network.
