Banc of California Reports Fourth Quarter and

Full Year 2014 Financial Results

IRVINE, Calif., (March 5, 2015) –Banc of California, Inc. (NYSE: BANC) today reported net income of $30.3 million and net income available to common shareholders of $26.7 million, or $0.91 per diluted common share for the year ended December 31, 2014. This compares to net income of $0.1 million and a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $2.1 million, or $(0.14) per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2013.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, the Company reported net income available to common shareholders of $9.3 million, or $0.25 per diluted common share. This compares to net income available to common shareholders of $2.4 million, or $0.12 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2013.

“Over the past three years, Banc of California has emerged as California’s Bank,” said Steven Sugarman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are now a $6 billion financial institution with the scale to serve California’s diverse private businesses, entrepreneurs and homeowners. As we look to 2015, we believe there are compelling economics for continued growth and we are well situated to deliver on our stated financial targets.”

The Company’s consolidated assets totaled $6.0 billion at December 31, 2014, an increase of $1.4 billion compared to the prior quarter, and an increase of $2.3 billion compared to a year ago.

Return on average assets for the fourth quarter was 0.8%, and 0.7% for the full year ended December 31, 2014. Return on average tangible common equity was 11.2% for the fourth quarter, and 10.1% for the full year ended December 31, 2014. Both the full year and fourth quarter results included the release of the remaining $8.3 million deferred tax asset valuation allowance which resulted in a net tax benefit of $4.5 million and $5.5 million, for the full year and fourth quarter, respectively.

Total loans and leases, representing both loans held for investment and held for sale, of $5.1 billion at December 31, 2014 increased by $1.3 billion, compared to $3.8 billion at September 30, 2014, and have increased by $2.0 billion compared to the year ended December 31, 2013.

Total deposits of $4.7 billion at December 31, 2014 represented an increase of $1.0 billion compared to $3.6 billion at September 30, 2014, and an increase of $1.8 billion compared to $2.9 billion at December 31, 2013.

Growth in both total loans and deposits during the fourth quarter was primarily driven by the branch transaction with Popular Community Bank in November which resulted in the acquisition of $1.1 billion of loan balances and $1.1 billion of deposit balances.

Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014 of $300.9 million increased by $106.9 million, or 55%, compared to the full year ended December 31, 2013. Revenue of $87.2 million for the fourth quarter increased by $4.9 million compared with the prior quarter, and was $19.4 million higher compared to the fourth quarter 2013.

Net interest income of $155.3 million for 2014 increased by $58.0 million, or 60%, from 2013. Fourth quarter net interest income of $46.3 million increased 21% from the prior quarter, and increased by $13.0 million, or 39% compared to the year ago quarter.

Net interest margin of 3.72% for 2014 increased by 5 basis points compared to 3.67% for 2013. Fourth quarter net interest margin was 3.65%, an increase of 7 basis points from 3.58% reported in the third quarter. Lower deposit costs contributed to the margin expansion during the quarter.

Noninterest income for 2014 totaled $145.6 million, an increase of $48.9 million, compared to $96.7 million for 2013. Noninterest income for the fourth quarter totaled $40.9 million, compared to $44.1 million for the prior quarter and $34.5 million for the year ago quarter.

Total noninterest expense for the fourth quarter totaled $78.4 million, an increase of $10.8 million compared to the prior quarter. Fourth quarter noninterest expense included approximately $5.9 million of non-recurring costs including from the acquisition of branches from Popular Community Bank as well as an increase of $2.1 million of ongoing operating expense from the acquired branch locations.

The Company’s allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) increased to $29.5 million for the fourth quarter, and equaled 1.38% of originated loans, and represented a coverage ratio of 77% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2014. The provision for loan losses for the fourth quarter was $4.2 million, compared to $2.8 million in the prior quarter, driven primarily by loan growth during the fourth quarter. The ratio of delinquent non-PCI loans to total non-PCI loans equaled 1.55% for the fourth quarter, and declined compared to 2.08% from the prior quarter, and was down from 2.43% a year ago. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets declined from 0.86% at the third quarter and stands at 0.65% as of December 31, 2014. Net charge offs for the fourth quarter were in a net recovery position of less than $0.1 million.

The Company remains well-capitalized with a Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 10.5%, a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of 8.6%, and a Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets Ratio (TCE/TA) of 6.2% as of December 31, 2014.

Non-GAAP Measures

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

(Unaudited)

Non-GAAP performance measure:

Tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio and return on average tangible common equity are supplemental financial information determined by a method other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP measures are used by management in the analysis of Banc of California, Inc.’s capital strength and performance of businesses. Tangible equity is calculated by subtracting goodwill and other intangible assets from total stockholders’ equity. Banking and financial institution regulators also exclude goodwill and other intangible assets from total stockholders’ equity when assessing the capital adequacy of a financial institution. Management believes the presentation of this financial measure excluding the impact of these items provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the capital strength of Banc of California, Inc. This disclosure should not be viewed as a substitution for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

The following tables reconcile this non-GAAP performance measures to the GAAP performance measures for the periods indicated:
