PACWEST BANCORP ANNOUNCES RESULTS
FOR THE FIRST QUARTER 2017
Highlights
• Net Earnings of $78.7 Million, or $0.65 Per Diluted Share
• New Loan and Lease Production of $1.0 Billion; $101 Million of Net Loan Growth
• Core Deposits Increase of $245 Million and Represent 78% of Total Deposits
• Tax Equivalent Net Interest Margin of 5.16%; Tax Equivalent Net Interest Margin Excluding Acquired Loan Discount Accretion of 5.02%
Los Angeles, California . . . PacWest Bancorp (Nasdaq: PACW) today announced net earnings for first quarter of 2017 of $78.7 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, compared to net earnings for the fourth quarter of 2016 of $85.6 million, or $0.71 per diluted share. The decrease in net earnings from the prior quarter was primarily due to a decrease in interest income due to a $14.7 million decrease in acquired loan discount accretion as the fourth quarter of 2016 included $13.5 million of discount accretion from the payoff of a single loan.
Matt Wagner, President and CEO, commented, “First quarter 2017 earnings were below our expectations due mostly to an elevated credit provision and significant loan repayment activity. While the higher than expected provision was not driven by newly classified or impaired loans, it was a disappointment. We remain focused on driving high quality growth and minimizing credit costs.”
Patrick Rusnak, Executive Vice President and CFO stated, “Our first quarter tax equivalent NIM excluding acquired loan discount accretion increased one basis point to 5.02%. While the NIM benefitted from the repricing of variable-rate loans, this was partially offset by the mix of loan types that were paid off and originated during the quarter, combined with higher balances and rates on non-core deposits and borrowings.”
Mr. Wagner continued, “We recently announced our pending acquisition of CU Bancorp and are excited about the opportunities created through this transaction. CU Bancorp’s exceptional core deposit franchise and asset sensitive balance sheet will strengthen our position in a rising rate environment. This transaction will increase our scale and operating efficiencies, and will also increase our market share in the highly attractive Southern California market.”

INCOME STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS
Net Interest Income
Net interest income decreased by $15.9 million to $232.5 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $248.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 due to lower discount accretion on acquired loans, offset by higher average loan and lease balances. Total accretion on acquired loans was $6.4 million in the first quarter of 2017 (17 basis points on the loan and lease yield) compared to $21.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 (56 basis points on the loan and lease yield). The decrease in accretion was due primarily to lower accelerated accretion from payoffs on acquired loans, including $13.5 million from the payoff of a nonaccrual purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loan in the fourth quarter of 2016. The loan and lease yield for the first quarter of 2017 was 5.94% compared to 6.31% for the fourth quarter of 2016. The decrease in the loan and lease yield was principally due to the lower discount accretion on acquired loans. Excluding acquired loan discount accretion, the loan and lease yield was 5.77% in the first quarter of 2017 compared to 5.75% in the fourth quarter of 2016.
The tax equivalent NIM for the first quarter of 2017 was 5.16% compared to 5.47% for the fourth quarter of 2016. The decrease in the NIM was mostly due to lower discount accretion on acquired loans. Such accretion contributed 14 basis points to the NIM in the first quarter of 2017 and 46 basis points to the NIM in the fourth quarter of 2016. Excluding acquired loan discount accretion, the tax equivalent NIM was 5.02% in the first quarter of 2017 compared to 5.01% in the fourth quarter of 2016.
The cost of total deposits increased to 0.21% in the first quarter of 2017 from 0.19% in the fourth quarter of 2016 due to higher average costs and balances of non-core interest-bearing deposits.
The tax equivalent net interest income and NIM as well as the loan and lease interest income and loan and lease yield are impacted by volatility in accretion of acquisition discounts on acquired loans and leases. The effects of this are shown in the following tables for the periods indicated:

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income increased by $6.2 million to $35.1 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $28.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 due mostly to a $7.9 million increase in other income attributable mainly to a $5.0 million legal settlement with a former borrower and a $1.2 million increase in loan syndication fees. This was offset by a decrease in other commissions and fees of $1.6 million driven by a decrease in loan prepayment and unused commitment fees of $2.0 million. Warrant income decreased $0.9 million mainly due to lower realized gains on exercised warrants.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense decreased by $2.1 million to $116.5 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $118.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. The decrease was due mostly to a decrease in foreclosed assets expense of $2.6 million, a decrease in other professional services expense of $1.5 million, and a decrease in compensation expense of $1.1 million, offset by an increase in other expense of $1.5 million. Foreclosed assets expense decreased primarily due to a $2.6 million write-down recorded in the fourth quarter of 2016. Other professional services expense decreased due to lower legal expense and consulting expense. The $1.1 million reduction in compensation expense was attributable to lower bonus and severance expense, offset by a seasonal increase in payroll taxes. The increase in other expense is mainly attributable to a $1.5 million accrual to increase our reserve for probable loss contingencies.

Income Taxes

BALANCE SHEET HIGHLIGHTS
Loans and Leases
Total loans and leases increased by $100.7 million in the first quarter of 2017 to $15.6 billion at March 31, 2017. The net increase was driven by first quarter originations and purchases of $1.0 billion, offset partially by principal repayments of $0.9 billion. A portfolio of 56 multi-family loans with an aggregate principal balance of $183 million was purchased from another bank during the first quarter of 2017.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
A provision for credit losses of $24.7 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $23.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. The first quarter provision consisted of $24.5 million for non-purchased credit impaired (“Non-PCI”) loans and leases and $0.2 million for PCI loans; this compares to $21.0 million and $2.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2016. The level of provision for the first quarter of 2017 was mainly attributable to specific provisions for impaired loans that were classified or impaired at December 31, 2016 and general provisions from increased general reserve loss factors which are influenced by net charge-off experience. The allowance for Non-PCI credit losses to Non-PCI loans and leases coverage ratio was 1.08% and 1.05% at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

(1) Allowance attributed to $4.0 billion and $4.4 billion of acquired Non-PCI loans at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, based on the allowance calculation that includes an amount for credit deterioration on acquired loans and leases since their acquisition dates.
(2) Unamortized purchase discount relates to $4.0 billion and $4.4 billion of acquired Non-PCI loans at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and is assigned specifically to those loans only. Such discount represents the acquisition date fair value adjustment based on market, liquidity, interest rate risk and credit risk and is being accreted to interest income over the remaining life of the respective loans using the interest method. Use of the interest method results in steadily declining amounts being taken into income in each reporting period. The remaining discount of $39.3 million at March 31, 2017, is expected to be substantially accreted to income by the end of 2018.

CU BANCORP MERGER ANNOUNCEMENT
On April 6, 2017, PacWest announced the signing of a definitive agreement and plan of merger (the “Agreement”) whereby PacWest will acquire CU Bancorp in a transaction valued at approximately $705 million.
CU Bancorp, headquartered in Los Angeles, California, is the parent of California United Bank, a California state-chartered non-member bank, with approximately $3.0 billion in assets and nine branches located in Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, and San Bernardino counties at December 31, 2016. In connection with the transaction, California United Bank will be merged into Pacific Western Bank, the principal operating subsidiary of PacWest Bancorp.
The transaction, which was approved by the PacWest and CU Bancorp boards of directors, is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2017 and is subject to customary closing conditions, including obtaining approval by CU Bancorp’s shareholders and bank regulatory authorities.
As of December 31, 2016, on a pro forma consolidated basis, the combined company would have approximately $25.0 billion in assets and 87 branches, prior to contemplated consolidations.
Under terms of the Agreement, CU Bancorp shareholders will receive 0.5308 shares of PacWest common stock and $12.00 in cash for each share of CU Bancorp. Based on PacWest’s April 5, 2017 closing price of $51.72, the total value of the merger consideration is $39.45 per CU Bancorp share.
