FIRST PACTRUST BANCORP, INC. REPORTS 2013 FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS; TOTAL ASSETS EXCEED $2 BILLION

IRVINE, CA, May 8, 2013 – First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: BANC) (“First PacTrust” or the “Company”), the holding company for Pacific Trust Bank (“PacTrust Bank”) and Beach Business Bank, today announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2013. For the quarter, the Company reported net income of $929 thousand with earnings available to common stockholders of $641 thousand, or $0.05 per diluted common share. This compares with net loss available to common stockholders of $3.5 million, or $(0.30) per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012, and net loss available to common stockholders of $23 thousand, or ($0.00) per diluted common share, for the preceding 2012 first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

The Company’s total assets reached $2.05 billion at March 31, 2013, an increase of $368.4 million compared with $1.68 billion at December 31, 2012 and an increase of $968.0 million compared with $1.08 billion at March 31, 2012. Loans and leases receivable of $1.61 billion at March 31, 2013 increased $377.2 million compared with $1.23 billion at December 31, 2012 and increased $783.0 million compared with $828.3 million at March 31, 2012. The increases in total assets and loans and leases receivable were due mainly to organic loan growth, loans acquired in the Beach Business Bank and Gateway Bancorp acquisitions, and purchases of seasoned, residential mortgage loans. Total deposits of $1.7 billion at March 31, 2013 represented an increase of $392.5 million compared with $1.31 billion at December 31, 2012 and an increase of $845.0 million compared with $853.8 million at March 31, 2012. The consolidated banks’ deposit mix changed from 51% transaction accounts to 63% transaction accounts during the quarter.

Steven Sugarman, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated: “PacTrust Bank’s success in attracting core deposits is a testament to the innovative new OneAccount we launched during the quarter. We successfully attracted core deposits from high net worth depositors in our target markets while reducing interest rates paid on our CDs by approximately 40%. Total assets now are expected to exceed $2.7 billion after the closing of our pending acquisition of The Private Bank of California. PacTrust Bank’s retail deposit franchise is well positioned to meet its liquidity requirements to support strong loan growth.”

The Company plans to discuss its first quarter earnings, among other items, on May 8, 2013, at 8:00 a.m., Pacific Time. All interested parties are welcome to attend the conference call at 866-503-8728, event code 64633115.
