CEO COMMENTARY
Matt Wagner, President and CEO, commented, “We are very pleased to deliver another strong quarter. We deployed approximately $3.8 billion of excess liquidity into higher-yielding securities and loans during the fourth quarter which resulted in a $24.6 million increase in net interest income and helped drive a $13.9 million increase in our pre-tax pre-provision net revenue compared to the third quarter. Loans grew by $2.4 billion in the fourth quarter to an all-time high of $22.9 billion.”
“We continued to experience strong deposit growth as core deposits increased by $4.6 billion during the fourth quarter driven by the $4.1 billion of deposits acquired with the HOA business.”
“Credit quality continues the improvement seen throughout 2023 with net recoveries of $1.9 million for the year and continued decreases in special mention (down 46% in 2023) and classified loans and leases (down 56% in 2023) which resulted in a provision benefit for the fourth consecutive quarter.”
“We had a strong year in 2023 and produced record net earnings of over $600 million, ended the year with record high balances for loans and deposits and crossed the $40 billion total assets milestone. We completed two strategic acquisitions with Civic Financial Services in February and the HOA business in October which expanded our product offerings and position us well for a rising rate environment. ”
“Our strategy of prioritizing a strong balance sheet, followed by profitability and growth, in that order, served us well in 2023 and we are well positioned as we begin 2023.”

INCOME STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income increased by $24.6 million to $300.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $275.8 million for the third quarter of 2023 due mainly to higher income on investment securities and loans and leases primarily resulting from higher average balances as we deployed our excess liquidity. Income on investment securities increased by $7.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 due to a $1.9 billion increase in the average balance of investment securities, offset partially by a 10 basis point decrease in the yield on average investment securities. Income on loans and leases increased by $16.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 due to a $1.7 billion increase in the average balance of loans and leases, offset partially by an eight basis point decrease in the yield on average loans and leases. The tax equivalent yield on average loans and leases was 4.93% for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to 5.01% for the third quarter of 2023. The decrease in the tax equivalent yield on average loans and leases was due primarily to the purchases of lower yielding single-family loans and higher loan premium amortization of $4.1 million.
The tax equivalent NIM was 3.24% for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to 3.33% for the third quarter of 2023. The decrease in the NIM was due primarily to the change in the earning assets mix driven by the increase in the balance of average investment securities as a percentage of average earning assets and the decrease in the balance of average loans and leases as a percentage of average earning assets, as well as lower yields on average loans and leases and average investment securities. The average balance of investment securities increased by $1.9 billion to $10.0 billion, the average balance of deposits in financial institutions increased by $303.3 million to $6.0 billion, and the average balance of loans and leases increased by $1.7 billion to $21.4 billion in the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase in average balances of investment securities and loans and leases was the result of deploying some of our excess liquidity ahead of the closing of the acquisition of the HOA Services Division of MUFG Union Bank that added approximately $4.1 billion of deposits on October 8, 2023.
The cost of average total deposits was 0.08% in the fourth quarter of 2023, unchanged from 0.08% in the third quarter of 2023.

The provision for credit losses benefit was $6.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to a benefit of $20.0 million for the third quarter of 2023. The fourth quarter benefit was primarily impacted by changes in the qualitative component and a slightly improved economic forecast offset by an increased provision for loan growth.

Noninterest income increased by $6.0 million to $57.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $51.3 million for the third quarter of 2023 due primarily to increases of $10.4 million in warrant income, $4.4 million in other income, and $1.7 million in leased equipment income, offset partially by a $10.0 million decrease in dividends and gains on equity investments. Warrant income increased due to continued strength in the capital markets activity including our single largest warrant gain ever of $13.6 million along with a second warrant gain of $5.2 million. Other income increased due primarily to higher gains from early lease terminations of $4.5 million. Leased equipment income increased due to a higher average balance of leased equipment and the return of one large lease to accrual status in December 2023. Dividends and gains on equity investments decreased due primarily to lower gains on sales of equity investments, higher fair value losses on equity investments still held, and lower income distributions and fair value marks on SBIC investments.

Noninterest expense increased by $16.7 million to $176.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $159.4 million for the third quarter of 2023 due primarily to increases in several expense categories such as compensation expense by $1.6 million, data processing by $0.8 million, insurance and assessments by $1.3 million, intangible asset amortization by $1.0 million, acquisition, integration and reorganization costs by $5.4 million, and customer related expense by $1.6 million. The increases related primarily to the acquisition of the HOA business on October 8, 2023. Total operating expenses for the quarter, excluding the acquisition, integration and reorganization costs of $5.6 million, were $170.5 million including $5.9 million of operating expenses for the acquired HOA business.
INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate was 27.5% in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to 25.4% in the third quarter of 2023. The increase was due primarily to an increase in state tax rates for fiscal year 2023 caused by a shift in apportionment and a tax benefit from the release of a valuation allowance recorded in the third quarter. The effective income tax rate for the full year 2023 was 26.2%. The effective tax rate for the full year 2023 is currently estimated to be in the range of 25% to 27%.

Loans and leases held for investment, net of deferred fees, increased by $2.4 billion or 11.8% in the fourth quarter of 2023 to $22.9 billion at December 31, 2023. Excluding PPP loan activity, loans grew by $2.5 billion or 12.6%. The overall increase in the loans and leases balance for the fourth quarter of 2023 was due primarily to increases in the income producing and other residential, venture capital, and asset-based portfolios, offset partially by a reduction in the commercial real estate construction portfolio. Civic loan production was $480 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $481 million in the third quarter of 2023. The total outstanding balance of the Civic loan portfolio as of December 31, 2023 was $1.4 billion. The PPP loan forgiveness in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $111 million, down from $338 million in the third quarter of 2023. Net fees for PPP loans were $3.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, down from the $7.9 million in the third quarter of 2023. Remaining PPP loans totaled $157 million as of December 31, 2023 with $4.2 million of net fees to amortize over the remaining life of the loans. The weighted average rate on the $3.4 billion of new production for the fourth quarter of 2023 decreased to 3.89% from 4.24% in the third quarter of 2023 due primarily to the loan mix (higher levels of single-family loan pool purchases and equity fund loans). In the fourth quarter of 2023, we purchased $1.1 billion in single-family loan pools compared to $1.0 billion in the third quarter of 2023.

The allowance for credit losses decreased by $6.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 to $273.6 million at December 31, 2023. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses during the fourth quarter of 2023 was attributable to a provision for credit losses benefit of $6.0 million and $0.2 million in net charge-offs. The allowance for credit losses ratio, excluding PPP loans, of 1.20% remains robust and moderately higher than the pre-pandemic level of 0.97% as of the January 1, 2020 CECL adoption date.
Net charge-offs were $0.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 as gross charge-offs of $4.4 million were reduced by recoveries of $4.2 million.
Net charge-offs were $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2023 as gross charge-offs of $1.5 million were reduced by recoveries of $1.1 million.
On a year-to-date basis for the year ended December 31, 2023, net recoveries were $1.9 million as gross charge-offs of $10.7 million were reduced by recoveries of $12.6 million.

Since downgrading certain loans at the onset of the pandemic in the first quarter of 2020 given all the uncertainty at the time, special mention loans and leases have decreased by $507.0 million or 56% from their peak in the first quarter of 2020, while classified loans and leases have decreased by $177.1 million or 60% from their peak in the second quarter of 2020, and each have significantly declined in the fourth quarter of 2023. Classified loans and leases are now below pre-pandemic levels while special mention loans and leases are also approaching pre-pandemic levels. Nonaccrual loans and leases decreased by $3.3 million to $61.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 due primarily to a decrease in nonaccrual short-term, single-family residential renovation loans as a result of payoffs during the quarter.

The increase in accruing and 30-89 days past due loans is primarily due to $19.3 million in past due purchased single-family loans. As of January 14, 2023, $5.9 million of these loans remained over 30 days past due. The delinquency related to these loans was attributable to delayed payment application stemming from servicing being transferred following our purchase of the loans. The increase in this category was also due to an increase of $9.1 million in single-family residential loans originated by Civic.

The decreases in the capital ratios during the fourth quarter of 2023 were due primarily to the increase in goodwill related to the HOA acquisition combined with an increase in risk-weighted assets as we deployed $3.8 billion of excess liquidity into securities and loans and leases during the quarter.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This communication contains certain forward-looking information about PacWest that is intended to be covered by the safe harbor for “forward-looking statements” provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements that are not historical or current facts, including statements about future financial and operational results, expectations, or intentions are forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on information available at the time of the communication and are based on current beliefs and expectations of the Company’s management and are subject to significant risks, uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected PacWest, its employees, customers and third-party service providers, and the ultimate extent of the impacts on its business, financial position, results of operations, liquidity and prospects is uncertain. The risks from the COVID-19 pandemic have decreased as the pandemic subsides, however, new variants may continue to impact key macro-economic indicators such as unemployment and GDP and may have a material impact on our allowance for credit losses and related provision for credit losses. Continued deterioration in general business and economic conditions could adversely affect PacWest’s revenues and the values of its assets, including goodwill, and liabilities, lead to a tightening of credit, and increase stock price volatility. In addition, PacWest’s results could be adversely affected by changes in interest rates, sustained high unemployment rates, deterioration in the credit quality of its loan portfolio or in the value of the collateral securing those loans, deterioration in the value of its investment securities, the magnitude of individual loan losses on security monitoring loans, and legal and regulatory developments. Actual results may differ materially from those set forth or implied in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including the risk factors described in documents filed by PacWest with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
We are under no obligation (and expressly disclaim any such obligation) to update or alter our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
