PACWEST BANCORP ANNOUNCES RESULTS
FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 2010
—Net Interest Margin Increases to 5.21%—
—Credit Loss Reserve at 3.30% of Net Non-Covered Loans—
—Nonaccrual Loans and Non-Performing Assets Decline—
—Core Deposits Grow $24.2 Million—
Los Angeles, California . . . PacWest Bancorp (Nasdaq: PACW) today announced a net loss for the fourth quarter of 2010 of $7.7 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $3.5 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2010. The fourth quarter included a $35.3 million ($20.5 million after-tax) credit loss provision for non-covered loans, of which $14.3 million ($8.3 million after-tax) is attributed to the Company’s sale of $74.9 million of classified loans in December 2010 for $54.0 million in cash, and a $1.9 million ($1.1 million after tax) penalty for the early repayment of $50 million of FHLB advances.

As a result of loan sales and other credit management activities, our non-covered loan portfolio credit quality measures improved as shown in the following table:
| | December 31, | | September 30, | | December 31, | |
| | 2010 | | 2010 | | 2009 | |
| | (Dollars in thousands) | |
Nonaccrual loans | | $ | 94,183 | | $ | 105,539 | | $ | 240,167 | |
Nonperforming assets | | $ | 119,781 | | $ | 130,137 | | $ | 283,422 | |
Performing restructured loans | | $ | 89,272 | | $ | 143,407 | | $ | 181,454 | |
Allowance for credit losses to nonaccrual loans | | 110.77 | % | 95.93 | % | 51.75 | % |
Allowance for credit losses to loans, net of unearned income | | 3.30 | % | 3.05 | % | 3.35 | % |
Fourth quarter earnings include the operating results of Los Padres Bank (“Los Padres”), which was acquired in an FDIC-assisted transaction on August 20, 2010 and added $3.3 million in net earnings during the quarter. Los Padres has added $3.7 million in net earnings since its acquisition.
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $62.0 million, or $1.77 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $9.4 million for 2009, or $0.30 per diluted share. The increase in the net loss was primarily due to higher 2010 credit loss provisions from the Company’s sales of classified loans and the $67.0 million ($38.9 million after tax) gain on the Affinity Bank acquisition recorded in 2009. There was no similar gain in 2010. The credit loss provision on non-covered loans increased $37.1 million ($21.5 million after-tax) to $179.0 million. Such credit loss provision includes $85.7 million ($49.7 million after tax) related to the $398.5 million of classified loans sold in 2010.
The Company made strategic decisions in the first and fourth quarters of 2010 to sell $398.5 million of its classified loans at a discount from their carrying values. The effect of the sales was the immediate recognition of the losses as charge-offs, large reductions in the Company’s classified loan balances and reduced credit risk in the Company’s loan portfolio. The fourth quarter classified loan sale included $17.6 million of nonaccrual loans.
This press release contains non-GAAP financial disclosures for tangible common equity. 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. Because the use of tangible common equity amounts and ratios is becoming more prevalent among banking regulators, investors and analysts, we disclose our tangible common equity ratios in addition to equity-to-assets ratios. Please refer to the table at the end of this release for a presentation of performance ratios in accordance with GAAP and a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the GAAP financial measures.

(1) FDIC loss sharing income increased the fourth quarter and reduced third quarter efficiency ratios by 116 bps and 560 bps, respectively.
(2) Non-covered loans exclude loans from the Los Padres and Affinity acquisitions covered by a loss sharing agreement with the FDIC.
The decline in fourth quarter net earnings compared to the prior quarter was due to a combination of higher net interest income, higher provision for credit losses on non-covered loans, lower FDIC loss sharing income and higher noninterest expense. The growth in net interest income was due mostly to accelerated accretion of purchase discount on covered loan payoffs and the increase in average loans from the Los Padres acquisition. The lower FDIC loss sharing income was due to a net reduction in the FDIC loss sharing asset as covered loan credit costs declined and certain covered loans, which are carried at a discount, were resolved above their carrying values. The increase in noninterest expense was due principally to the penalty on the early repayment of FHLB advances.

Charge-offs on loans sold included in non-covered loan net charge-offs above | | $ | 20,942 | | $ | — | | $ | 144,647 | | $ | — | |
The credit loss provision for the fourth quarter had two components: $35.3 million for non-covered loans and $2.1 million for covered loans. The fourth quarter non-covered credit loss provision was driven by (a) non-covered loan net charge-offs of $32.2 million, which included $20.9 million in charge-offs from the sale of classified loans in December and (b) the level of nonaccrual and classified loans. The covered loan credit loss provision was driven by credit deterioration on covered loans since the acquisition dates. The covered loan credit loss provision was offset by an increase in the FDIC loss sharing asset, which represents the FDIC’s 80% share of the provisions.
Matt Wagner, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “During the fourth quarter, we completed the sale of $74.9 million of classified loans, which, when combined with the first quarter classified loan sale and our direct workout efforts, decreased classified loans, nonaccrual loans and nonperforming assets, reduced credit risk in our loan portfolio and significantly improved coverage ratios at year-end. During 2010, we provisioned nearly $180 million to handle existing loans and to facilitate the transition and resolution of weaker credits. Our strong capital position, coupled with the earnings generation from our core franchise, gave us the flexibility to address issues directly and maintain excellent capital ratios.”
Mr. Wagner continued, “We increased core deposits significantly in the fourth quarter and in 2010, primarily through organic growth. We also completed the systems conversion for the Los Padres operation in December. Our footprint now extends from San Diego to Northern California, inland to the Desert and into Arizona, with concentration in what we believe are the most attractive business demographics in California. While we remain cautious on the economic outlook in California, economic optimism is slowly returning. We are well-positioned to take advantage of any economic recovery, serve our existing customers and attract new customers.”

Vic Santoro, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, stated, “The events of the fourth quarter reflect the strengths of our core business and the positive impact of the Los Padres acquisition. Our net interest margin continued to expand, reflecting higher yield on acquired loans and our deposit cost management, which caused all-in deposit cost to drop to 0.50% for the fourth quarter. Our core deposits increased over $24 million and represented 74% of total deposits at year end. In addition to gaining a foothold in the Central Coast market, the Los Padres acquisition augmented our earnings generation ability and added $3.3 million in net earnings in the fourth quarter.”
Mr. Santoro continued, “Liquidity and capital positions remain strong. The Company’s cash and available-for-sale securities, which represent 18% of assets at year-end, position us to take advantage of asset generation opportunities as they arise. Our capital position allowed us to absorb the loss from the fourth quarter classified loan sale and at the same time maintain our capital ratios significantly above the well-capitalized minimums.”
YEAR TO DATE RESULTS
| | Year Ended | |
| | December 31, | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 | |
| | (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) | |
Financial Highlights: | | | | | |
Net loss | | $ | (62,016 | ) | $ | (9,350 | ) |
Diluted loss per share | | $ | (1.77 | ) | $ | (0.30 | ) |
Net interest margin | | 5.02 | % | 4.79 | % |
Efficiency ratio | | 63.3 | % | 55.7 | % |
The higher net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to last year was due mostly to two factors: the 2009 gain recorded in connection with the Affinity acquisition and the higher credit loss provisions in 2010 from the Company’s sales of $398.5 million of classified loans and higher non-covered loan charge-offs. When compared to 2009, 2010 shows higher net interest income of $33.3 million ($19.3 million after-tax), higher provision for credit losses of $58.1 million ($33.7 million after-tax), higher FDIC loss sharing income of $12.0 million ($7.0 million after-tax) and higher noninterest expense of $9.6 million ($5.6 million after-tax). The increases in these categories reflect the inclusion of the operating results for Affinity Bank since its August 2009 acquisition date and Los Padres Bank since its August 2010 acquisition date.
BALANCE SHEET CHANGES
During the fourth quarter total loans declined $214.9 million on a net basis, including a $157.4 million decrease in non-covered loans, which reflected in part the $74.9 million reduction related to the classified loans sold in December. The loan portfolio continues to decline generally due to repayments, resolution activities and low loan demand. Non-covered loans, net of unearned income, were $3.2 billion at December 31, 2010 and the covered loan portfolio was $908.6 million at December 31, 2010.
5
Investment securities available-for-sale grew $85.2 million during the fourth quarter due primarily to the purchase of $179.0 million in government-sponsored entity pass through securities with excess cash balances. At December 31, 2010 overnight funds held at the Federal Reserve Bank totaled $26.1 million, a decrease of $42.1 million from the balance at September 30, 2010.
The activity in non-covered and covered OREO for the fourth quarter is shown in the following table:
| | Three Months Ended | |
| | December 31, 2010 | |
| | Non-Covered | | Covered | |
| | OREO | | OREO | |

Reductions related to sales | | (1,365 | ) | (18,735 | ) |
End of period | | $ | 25,598 | | $ | 55,816 | |
There were no gains or losses on sales of non-covered OREO in the fourth quarter of 2010; there were, however, $2.0 million in net gains for the full year of 2010.
Total deposits declined $151.2 million during the fourth quarter to $4.6 billion at December 31, 2010 largely as a result of brokered deposit maturities and runoff of higher cost acquired time deposit accounts. Time deposits decreased $175.4 million during the fourth quarter, including brokered deposit maturities of $68.3 million, to $1.2 billion at December 31, 2010. Brokered deposits totaled $36.2 million at December 31, 2010. Core deposits, which include noninterest-bearing demand, interest checking, money market, and savings accounts, increased $24.2 million during the fourth quarter and totaled $3.4 billion at December 31, 2010, or 74% of total deposits at that date. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits declined $2.3 million during the fourth quarter to $1.5 billion and represented 32% of total deposits at December 31, 2010.
Acquired Los Padres deposits totaled $360.7 million at December 31, 2010, a $132.1 million decline since September 30, 2010. The decline was centered in time deposits after the rates on them were reduced to market effective September 1, 2010.
COVERED ASSETS
As part of the Los Padres and Affinity acquisitions we entered into loss sharing agreements with the FDIC that cover a substantial portion of losses incurred after the acquisition dates on loans and other real estate owned, and in the case of the Affinity acquisition, certain investment securities.

A summary of the covered assets at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010 is shown in the following table.
| | December 31, | | September 30, | |
Covered Assets | | 2010 | | 2010 | |

Loans, net | | $ | 908,576 | | $ | 966,140 | |
Investment securities | | 50,437 | | 51,125 | |
Other real estate owned | | 55,816 | | 55,244 | |
Total covered assets | | $ | 1,014,829 | | $ | 1,072,509 | |
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income was $68.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $65.2 million for the third quarter of 2010. The $3.3 million increase is due mostly to a $2.8 million increase in interest income attributable to higher average loans from the Los Padres acquisition, the accelerated accretion of purchase discount on the disposal of certain covered loans, and the higher average balance of investments due to securities purchases. Contributing to the increase in net interest income was a reduction in interest expense of $585,000 due mainly to rate reductions on our money market and time deposit accounts and maturities of higher cost brokered deposits.
Net interest income grew by $33.3 million to $249.3 million for 2010 compared to 2009. This growth was due to a $20.4 million increase in interest income and a $12.9 million decline in interest expense. The increase in interest income was due to higher average balances of investment securities from the purchase of $627.9 million of government-sponsored entity pass through securities during 2010, the interest-earning assets from the Los Padres and Affinity acquisitions, and a higher average yield on loans. The decline in interest expense was due mainly to lower rates paid on deposits and borrowings and lower average borrowings.
NET INTEREST MARGIN
Our net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2010 was 5.21%, an increase of 13 basis points from the 5.08% posted for the third quarter of 2010. Such improvement reflects a higher yield on average loans during the fourth quarter. The yield on average loans was 6.64% for the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to 6.59% for the prior quarter. The loan yield, earning asset yield and net interest margin are all affected by loans being placed on or removed from nonaccrual status and the acceleration of purchase discounts on covered loan pay-offs; the loan yield and net interest margin for the fourth quarter were positively impacted by 20 basis points and 16 basis points, respectively, from the combination of these items. The loan yield and net interest margin for the third quarter were positively impacted by12 basis points and 10 basis points, respectively, from these items. The cost of interest-bearing deposits and all-in deposit cost decreased 8 basis points and 5 basis points to 0.73% and 0.50%, respectively; such decreases resulted primarily from lower rates on our deposit products and maturities of higher cost brokered deposits.
The net interest margin for 2010 was 5.02%, an increase of 23 basis points when compared to 2009. The increase is due mostly to a higher yield on average loans and lower funding costs, due principally to lower rates paid on deposits and lower average borrowings.
7
NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2010 totaled $4.6 million compared to $10.8 million for the third quarter of 2010. The $6.2 million decline was due mostly to lower FDIC loss sharing income stemming from lower credit-related costs on covered loans, OREO, and a third quarter other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) charge on one covered investment security. There was no OTTI charge in the fourth quarter. Such decline was offset by an increase in service charges and fee income attributable to a full quarter of operations with Los Padres and an increase in rates charged for certain deposit services. Loss sharing income declined due to higher FDIC loss sharing asset write-offs as covered loans, which are carried at a discount, were resolved above their carrying values.
Noninterest income declined in 2010 to $48.8 million from the $105.9 million earned in 2009. The $57.1 million decrease was due mainly to the $67.0 million gain on the Affinity acquisition recorded in August 2009; there was no similar gain in 2010. This was offset partially by an increase of $12.0 million in FDIC loss sharing income to $28.3 million in 2010 compared to 2009.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense totaled $49.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $46.2 million for the third quarter of 2010. The $3.1 million increase was due mostly to a penalty of $1.9 million for the early repayment of $50 million in FHLB advances and an increase in other expense categories related to a full quarter of the Los Padres operations. Los Padres noninterest expense totaled $4.4 million for the fourth quarter compared to $2.1 million for the third quarter. Other professional services declined $861,000 during the fourth quarter as the third quarter included higher consulting, legal, and due diligence costs related to acquisition activity and ongoing loan workouts.
Noninterest expense includes amortization of time-based restricted stock, which is included in compensation, and intangible asset amortization. Amortization of restricted stock totaled $1.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2010 and $8.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Intangible asset amortization totaled $2.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, $2.4 million for the third quarter of 2010 and $9.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Noninterest expense increased $9.6 million year-over-year to $188.8 million for 2010. The growth in most expense categories was due primarily to higher overhead costs related to the Affinity and Los Padres acquisitions. Compensation increased $9.3 million due to the acquisitions and severance costs. Occupancy costs increased $1.3 million due mostly to the 10 branches added in the Affinity acquisition and 14 branches added in the Los Padres acquisition. Other professional services increased $1.7 million due mostly to higher legal costs related to loan workout activity and consulting fees for acquisitions. Other expense increased $3.5 million due mostly to higher loan-related costs from loan workouts and $2.7 million in penalties for early repayment of $175 million in FHLB advances; there were no FHLB prepayment penalties in 2009. OREO costs declined $8.6 million due mostly to higher net gains on sales and lower write-downs and costs in 2010.

CREDIT QUALITY
Although our credit risk profile improved through both the classified loan sale and ongoing portfolio workout measures, our loan portfolio, including both non-covered and covered loans, continues to experience pressure from adverse economic conditions in Southern California and other areas where our borrowers and collateral are located. We expect such situation to continue during 2011.
Credit Loss Provisions
The fourth quarter provision for credit losses totaled $37.4 million and was composed of $21.0 million on the non-covered loan portfolio, $14.3 million related to the December classified loan sale, and $2.1 million on the covered loan portfolio. The third quarter provision for credit losses totaled $24.5 million and was composed of $17.1 million on the non-covered loan portfolio and $7.4 million on the covered loan portfolio. The provision on the non-covered portfolio is generated by our allowance methodology and reflects net charge-offs, the levels of nonaccrual and classified loans, and the migration of loans into various risk classifications. The covered loan credit loss provision increases the covered loan allowance for credit losses and results from credit deterioration on covered loans since the acquisition dates.
The fourth quarter loan sale resulted in a charge-off of $20.9 million to the allowance for loan losses, of which $6.6 million had been previously provided through the Company’s allowance methodology. The additional $14.3 million charge-off represents the market discount in excess of the Company’s allocated allowance necessary for the loans to be sold to a third party.
Fourth quarter net charge-offs on non-covered loans totaled $32.2 million compared to third quarter net charge-offs of $9.2 million. The fourth quarter net charge-offs included $20.9 million in charge-offs from the $74.9 million of classified loans sold in December. The allowance for credit losses on the non-covered portfolio totaled $104.3 million and $101.2 million at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively, and represented 3.30% and 3.05% of the non-covered loan balances at those respective dates. The allowance for credit losses as a percent of nonaccrual loans was 111% at December 31, 2010.
9
Non-covered Nonaccrual Loans and Other Real Estate Owned
Non-covered nonperforming assets include non-covered nonaccrual loans and non-covered OREO and totaled $119.8 million at December 31, 2010 compared to $130.1 million at September 30, 2010. The $10.3 million reduction in non-covered nonperforming assets is due primarily to lower nonaccrual loans attributable to the classified loan sale in December. The ratio of non-covered nonperforming assets to non-covered loans and non-covered OREO decreased to 3.76% at December 31, 2010 from 3.89% at September 30, 2010.
The velocity of new nonaccrual loans has slowed over the last few quarters as shown in the following chart.

(1) Excludes covered loans acquired from the Los Padres and Affinity acquisitions.
The $11.4 million decline in non-covered nonaccrual loans during the fourth quarter was attributable to (a) sales of $17.6 million, (b) other reductions, payoffs and returns to accrual status of $2.1 million, (c) foreclosures of $2.0 million, (d) charge-offs of $11.1 million, and (e) additions of $21.4 million.
At December 31, 2010, 73% of the nonaccrual loan total was represented by:
1. SBA-related loans of $15.9 million.
2. Two loans collateralized by land in Ventura County, California totaling $23.3 million.
3. One loan for $5.7 million secured by an out-of-state shopping center. This loan has been written down to its underlying collateral value based on the most recent appraisal. A receiver is in place to manage the property and foreclosure proceedings have commenced.
4. A hotel-secured loan totaling $4.2 million. Since the loan was placed on nonaccrual, operating income from the property has improved and it is projected to return to profitability.
5. Four industrial warehouse loans to the same borrower totaling $5.8 million.
6. One residential loan for $6.4 million. The loan is collateralized by 2nd trust deeds on two single family residences in Beverly Hills, California.
7. Two unsecured loans to the same borrower totaling $6.9 million. The borrower has notified the Bank that his cash flow is no longer sufficient to service his debt. A $6.9 million charge-off was taken in the fourth quarter and a 100% specific reserve was established for the remaining loan amount.
