The following information is furnished under Item 2.02—“Results of Operations and Financial Condition,” Item 7.01 – Regulation FD Disclosure, and Item 9.01 — “Financial Statements and Exhibits” and such information, including the exhibits attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for any purpose, including for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On July 23, 2019, First Choice Bancorp (the “Company”) announced its results of operations and financial condition for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The press release announcing the financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On July 23, 2019, an investor presentation was uploaded to the Company’s external website and is accessible at https://www.firstchoicebankca.com/, and clicking “Investor Relations” and then clicking “Presentations” under the “News and Events” menu located at the top. The Investor Presentation contains the information attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference. The Company expects to use the Investor Presentation, in whole or in part, and possibly with modifications, in connection with presentations to investors, analysts and others during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019.
The Investor Presentation includes financial information not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“Non-GAAP Financial Measures”). A reconciliation of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures to financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), as required by Regulation G, appears with the Investor Presentation. The Company is providing disclosure of the reconciliation of reported Non-GAAP Financial Measures used in the Investor Presentation, among other places, to its comparable financial measures on a GAAP basis. The Company believes that the Non-GAAP Financial Measures provide investors additional ways to view our operations, when considered with both our GAAP results and the reconciliation. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures should be taken together with the corresponding GAAP measures and should not be considered a substitute of the GAAP measures.
By filing this Current Report on Form 8-K and furnishing the information contained herein, the Company makes no admission as to the materiality of any information in this report that is required to be disclosed solely by reason of Regulation FD.
The information contained in the Investor Presentation is summary information that is intended to be considered in the context of the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings and other public announcements that the Company may make, by press release or otherwise, from time to time. The Company undertakes no duty or obligation to publicly update or revise the information contained in this report, although it may do so from time to time as its management believes is warranted. Any such updating may be made through the filing of other reports or documents with the SEC, through press releases or through other public disclosure.
