First Quarter 2016 Summary Results
“The first quarter of 2016 was a very strong quarter for CUB, with record earnings and an increase in earnings per share of 52% over the prior year and 17% over the prior quarter,” said David
Rainer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CU Bancorp and California United Bank. “Revenues benefitted from higher core net interest income, which increased nearly 5% on a linked-quarter basis or 19% annualized, as well as non-interest income, including the second-highest quarterly gain on sale of SBA loans in the Company’s history. Our consistent growth in revenues, combined with operating expenses that have been essentially flat for five consecutive quarters, has improved our efficiency ratio to 58% from 64% in the year-ago period.
“Our return on tangible common equity and return on average assets of 10.75% and 0.89%, respectively, increased in both year-over-year and linked-quarter periods. The strong pipeline that we indicated in our fourth quarter earnings release led to net organic loan growth of $90 million—the highest for a first quarter in the Company’s history. Currently, the second quarter loan pipeline continues to be strong.”
“Commercial and industrial loan commitments grew to $897 million, up 13% from the prior year and $11 million from the prior quarter,” said Brian Horton, President of CU Bancorp and California United Bank. “However, we saw a decline in utilization, as well as a decline in commercial and industrial loans outstanding compared to the prior quarter. This dynamic is part of the natural ebb and flow of commercial lending and we believe it speaks to the strong liquidity of our relationship-based customers, which is reflected in the strong growth in deposits during the quarter that came primarily from existing relationships.
“We experienced solid growth in our loans secured by real estate and recorded a loan loss provision of $622 thousand related to first quarter net organic loan growth. In a market that remains very competitive on rates and terms, our continued focus on prudent underwriting is reflected in our very low non-performing asset ratio of just 0.07%.”

Net income for the first quarter of 2016 was $6.3 million and net income available to common shareholders was $6.0 million or $0.35 per fully diluted share, compared with net income of $4.2 million and net income available to common shareholders of $3.9 million or $0.23 per fully diluted share for the first quarter of 2015. The loan loss provision for the first quarter of 2016 was $622 thousand, which benefitted from net recoveries of $241 thousand, compared to $1.4 million in the year-ago quarter, which included $806 thousand of net charge-offs. In the first quarter of 2016 the Company recorded no merger-related expenses, compared to $464 thousand in the year-ago quarter.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income totaled $23.5 million for the first quarter of 2016, an increase of $2.8 million or 14% from the first quarter of 2015. The increase was primarily driven by strong net organic loan growth over the last year.
The Company’s net interest income was positively impacted in both the first quarter of 2016 and the first quarter of 2015 by the recognition of fair value discounts earned on early payoffs of acquired loans. In the first quarter of 2016 the Company recorded $528 thousand in discounts earned on early loan payoffs, and prepayment penalty fees of $123 thousand on acquired loans, which had a positive impact on the net interest margin of 10 basis points. In the first quarter of 2015 the Company recorded $110 thousand in discounts earned on early loan payoffs of acquired loans, and other payoff benefits of $201 thousand, which had a positive impact on the net interest margin of 6 basis points.
The net interest margin in the first quarter of 2016 was 3.77%, compared to 3.95% in the first quarter of 2015. The decrease was primarily driven by average loans being a lower percentage of earnings assets in the first quarter of 2016 than in the year ago period.
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2016 increased $376 thousand or 2% from the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase was primarily driven by strong net organic loan growth and the increase in the prime rate in mid-December.
The Company’s net interest income was positively impacted in both the first quarter of 2016 and the fourth quarter of 2015 by the recognition of fair value discounts earned on early payoffs of acquired loans. In the first quarter of 2016 the Company recorded $528 thousand in discounts earned on early loan payoffs, and prepayment penalty fees of $123 thousand on acquired loans, which had a positive impact on the net interest margin of 10 basis points. In the fourth quarter of 2015 the Company recorded $1.0 million in discounts earned on early loan payoffs of acquired loans, and other associated payoff benefits aggregating to $294 thousand, with a positive impact on the net interest margin of 21 basis points.
The net interest margin in the first quarter of 2016 was 3.77%, compared to 3.72% in the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase was primarily driven by a combination of average loans being a higher percentage of earning assets in the first quarter of 2016 than the previous quarter, and the increase in the prime rate in mid-December, somewhat offset by continued loan yield compression.
The core loan yield for the first quarter of 2016 was 4.77%, compared to 4.70% in the previous quarter, largely due to the increase in the prime rate.
As of March 31, 2016, the Company had $13.7 million of discounts remaining on acquired accruing loans.
The Company’s cost of funds was 0.13% in the first quarter of 2016, equal to 0.13% in the first quarter of 2015 and an increase from 0.12% in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income was $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2016, an increase of $212 thousand or 8% from $2.6 million in the same quarter of the prior year. The overall increase was primarily due to an increase of $131 thousand in gain on sale of SBA loans.
Non-interest income in the first quarter of 2016 decreased $219 thousand or 7% over the fourth quarter of 2015. The decrease was largely due to the Company having no gain on sale of securities income or transaction referral fee income in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $112 thousand and $107 thousand, respectively, in the previous quarter.
Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2015 was $15.2 million, an increase of $274 thousand, or 2% compared to non-interest expense of $14.9 million for the same period of the prior year. The increase in non-interest expense was largely related to increases in salaries and other benefits, as the Company’s active full-time equivalent employees grew to 273 at March 31, 2016, an increase of 20 from the year-ago period end.
Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2016 was $15.2 million, an increase of $114 thousand or 1% over the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase was largely related to an increase in salaries and other benefits, as the Company added seven active full-time equivalent employees during the quarter. The increases in salaries and other benefits were offset by a decrease of $208 thousand in other operating expenses, largely due to a reduction of $97 thousand in the amortization expense related to the core deposit intangible, as well as modest declines in other expenses that fluctuate from quarter to quarter.
“Much of the growth in headcount, and related salaries and benefits, over the last year has been to support our double-digit loan and deposit growth, as well as our significant increase in customer relationships,” said Rainer. “Salaries and benefits also increased in the first quarter due to seasonal compensation expenses, such as increased payroll taxes, including FICA. During the second quarter, the Company’s annual increases for total compensation take effect.
“After five quarters of flat operating expenses and the growth noted above, the Bank expects to continue investing in additional personnel related to infrastructure to support our increased size and increasing regulatory requirements.”
Income Tax
In the first quarter of 2016, the effective tax rate was 40%. In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company realized a one-time discrete tax benefit of $133 thousand, primarily related to California Organized Investment Network (“COIN”) credits. For the full year of 2015 the Company’s effective tax rate, without discrete benefits, was 39%.
Balance Sheet
Assets
Total assets at March 31, 2016, were $2.7 billion, a year-over-year increase of $333 million from March 31, 2015. The increase was primarily due to strong growth in total deposits.
Loans
Total loans were $1.9 billion at March 31, 2016, an increase of $36 million or 8% annualized from $1.8 billion at the end of the prior quarter. This also represents an increase of $204 million or 12% from March 31, 2015. The increase in loans for both periods was due to strong organic loan growth.
During the first quarter of 2016, the Company had $90 million of net organic loan production. Pay downs in the acquired loan portfolios were approximately $54 million in the same quarter. Although new relationships contributed to organic growth, existing relationships also continued to grow.
Included in loan growth in the first quarter was a $31 million increase in the construction lending portfolio, which consists predominantly of 1-4 family and multifamily construction projects in Los Angeles County undertaken by customers that have long-term relationships with the Company.
Other nonresidential loans increased $30 million; these are loans with well-structured terms and guarantees, primarily collateralized by commercial buildings.
Total commercial and industrial line of credit commitments increased from the prior quarter; however, commercial and industrial loans outstanding, which include term loans, declined from the prior quarter. Utilization of commercial and industrial line of credit commitments was 41%, reflecting the strength of our business customers’ balance sheets.
At March 31, 2016, commercial and industrial loans, and owner-occupied real estate loans combined were $920 million or 49% of total loans, compared to $945 million or 52% at December 31, 2015. At March 31, 2015, commercial and industrial loans, and owner-occupied real estate were $868 million or 52% of total loans.
Deposits
Total deposits at March 31, 2016 were $2.4 billion, an increase of $89 million from the end of the prior quarter and $292 million from the prior year. The strong growth in total deposits year over year was largely in non-interest bearing deposits, which were $1.3 billion or 55% of total deposits at March 31, 2016, compared to $1.1 billion or 53% at March 31, 2015, and $1.3 billion or 56% at December 31, 2015. Average deposits per branch were $264 million as of March 31, 2016.
We believe some of the increase in total deposits during the first quarter of 2016 is likely related to customers accumulating cash in anticipation of federal and state income tax payments, as well as county property taxes in California.
Cost of deposits for the quarter was 0.11%, compared to 0.10% in the prior quarter.
Asset Quality
Total non-performing assets were $1.8 million, or 0.07% of total assets at March 31, 2016, compared with $2.4 million, or 0.09% of total assets, at December 31, 2015. The decrease was largely due to the disposition of an other real estate owned property at approximately net book value.
Total nonaccrual loans were $1.8 million, or 0.10% of total loans, at March 31, 2016, compared with $2.0 million, or 0.11% of total loans, at December 31, 2015.
During the first quarter of 2016, the Company recorded net recoveries of $241 thousand, compared with net charge-offs of $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.
The Company recorded a loan loss provision of $622 thousand for the first quarter of 2016. The loan loss provision reflects strong organic loan growth during the quarter, with the benefit of the net recovery of a loan charged off in 2014.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans (excluding acquired loans that have been marked to fair value and their related allowance) was 1.23% at March 31, 2016, compared with 1.25% at December 31, 2015, and 1.36% at March 31, 2015.
Capital
CU Bancorp remained well capitalized at March 31, 2016, with total risk weighted assets of $2,389.6 million. All of the Company’s capital ratios are above minimum regulatory standards for “well capitalized” institutions.

GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
These non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of results reported under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Tangible Common Equity (TCE) Calculation and Reconciliation to Total Shareholders’ Equity
(Unaudited)
The Company utilizes the term TCE, a non-GAAP financial measure. CU Bancorp’s management believes TCE is useful because it is a measure utilized by both regulators and market analysts in evaluating a consolidated bank holding company’s financial condition and capital strength. TCE represents common shareholders’ equity less goodwill and certain intangible assets. A reconciliation of CU Bancorp’s total shareholders’ equity to TCE is provided in the table below for the periods indicated:
