Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc. Announces Second Quarter and Year-to-Date 2003 Results
Costa Mesa, Calif., July 17, 2003 -- Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PPBI) (the Company), the holding company of Pacific Premier Bank, F.S.B. (the Bank), announced its results of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2003.
The Company recorded second quarter net earnings of $864 thousand, or $.34 per diluted share, compared to earnings of $253 thousand, or $.10 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2002. The net income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $606 thousand, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $641 thousand, or $0.27 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2002. All diluted earnings per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect stock option grants and warrants outstanding to acquire shares of the Company together with the issued shares, which total 2,561,005 and 2,552,066 shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively.
Return on average assets (ROAA) for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was .51% compared to .52% for the same period in 2002. The Company's return on average equity (ROAE) for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was 10.77% compared to 15.26% for the six months ended June 30, 2002.
The Company's net interest income before provision for loan losses decreased 23.4% to $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002. The decrease is due to the combination of a decrease in average loan yield and average investment yield of 113 and 145 basis points, respectively, partially offset by a reduction in the cost of funds by 47 basis points. The Participation Contracts discount accretion included in interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $1.6 million compared to $2.1 million for the same period a year ago. The discount accretion and recognition of interest income is based on the Companys projections of the expected performance of the residual assets underlying the Participation Contract. However, the actual performance of the residual assets and cash realized by the Company could vary significantly from the Companys projections. Some but not all of the assumptions utilized in the projections that could cause a substantial change in the cash realized from the Participation Contract are the estimated levels of future loan losses and the rate of prepayment speeds estimated for the loans underlying the residual assets.
The Company received $803 thousand in cash from the Participation Contract in the quarter ended June 30, 2003, compared to the $643 thousand during the same period in 2002 when the Participation Contract first started to cash flow to the Company.
The provision for loan losses was $681 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $191 thousand for the same period in 2002. The increase in provision is primarily due to charge-offs in the amount of $727 thousand in the first quarter of 2003 and $133 thousand in the second quarter of 2003. Charge-offs totaled $860 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2003 with $561 thousand of this amount attributable to a project initiated in the fourth quarter of 2002 to re-evaluate all loans 90 days or more past due and to write-down or charge-off the loans based on the findings of this analysis, if so warranted. The Banks Loss Mitigation Department continues collection efforts on loans written-down and/or charged-off to maximize potential recoveries.
Noninterest income increased by $681 thousand to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to the same period in 2002. The increase is primarily due to a $207 thousand gain on sale of $8.9 million of commercial real estate secured loans and the gain of $279 thousand from the sale of two assets that were previously written-off.
Noninterest expenses were $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $5.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002. The $709 thousand decrease is the result of actions taken by management during 2002 to reduce overall operating expenses. These actions included, but are not limited to, consolidation of the Banks two smallest depository branches into its largest branch and the relocation of the Companys corporate headquarters during the second and third quarters of 2002 respectively.
At June 30, 2003, the Company had 62 full-time equivalent employees.
During the second quarter of 2003, the Company benefited from a reduction in its allowance for deferred taxes of $400 thousand. The Companys allowance for deferred tax is $9.2 million at June 30, 2003.
Steven R. Gardner, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, We continue to execute on our strategic plan, which began with the recapitalization of the Bank in the first quarter of 2002. So far this year, our non-accrual loans and real estate owned have decreased by 27% and 44%, respectively, while our net loans and deposit transaction accounts have increased on an annualized basis by 29% and 26%, respectively. During the second quarter the Bank sold $8.9 million of commercial real estate loans at a gain, which demonstrates the demand for the Banks loan products in the secondary markets.
Total assets of the Company were $250.4 million as of June 30, 2003 compared to $238.3 million as of December 31, 2002. Net loans increased by $22.7 million due to increases in originations of income property and residential construction loans totaling $63.9 million. Investment securities decreased by $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The proceeds from the sale of investment securities, along with the increase in deposits, were used to fund new originations.
Asset quality at the Bank continued to improve during the six months ended June 30, 2003. Non-accrual loans totaled $3.8 million at June 30, 2003 down from $5.2 million at December 31, 2002. Real estate owned was reduced to $1.4 million at June 30, 2003 from $2.4 million at December 31, 2002.
The allowance for loan losses, including both general and specific reserves, totaled $2.7 million as of June 30, 2003 and $2.8 million as of December 31, 2002. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of non-accrual loans was 70.0% and 54.5% as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.
Total deposits increased by $11.3 million to $202.4 million at June 30, 2003, compared to $191.2 million at December 31, 2002. During 2003, the Bank began to realize improved core deposit growth due to its strategy emphasizing the development of relationships with both small business owners and consumers to increase checking and money market accounts. During the last six months, core deposits increased by $6.5 million. The cost of deposits as of June 30, 2003 was 2.47%, a decrease of 30 basis points since December 31, 2002.
Other borrowings totaled $33.8 million as of June 30, 2003 with an average cost of 9.25%. Other borrowings are comprised of the Companys Senior Secured Note of $11.5 million net of original issue discount with a current coupon of 13.0%, Subordinated Debt of $1.5 million with a current coupon of 13.5% and the Banks $20.8 million FHLB Advances with an average coupon rate of 3.29%. There were $32.9 million of other borrowings as of December 31, 2002.
The Companys total cost of funds for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was 3.42% compared to 3.89% for the six months ended June 30, 2002.
The Banks tier 1 capital and total risk-based capital ratios at June 30, 2003 were 6.82% and 10.96%, respectively. The minimum ratios for well-capitalized banks are 5% and 10% for tier 1 capital and risk-based capital, respectively. The Banks total equity capital was $16.5 million at June 30, 2003.
The Company is a savings and loan holding company that owns 100% of the capital stock of the Bank, the Companys principal operating subsidiary. The Bank is a federally chartered stock savings bank whose primary business includes branch banking, income property and construction lending. The Bank currently operates three full-service branches located in Orange and San Bernardino Counties, in Southern California.
