COSTA MESA, Calif., Jan. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PPBI) (the "Company"), the holding company of Pacific Premier Bank (the "Bank"), reported net income for 2011 of $10.6 million or $0.99 per share on a diluted basis, up from $4.2 million or $0.38 per share on a diluted basis for 2010. For 2011, our return on average assets was 1.12% and return on average equity was 12.91%, up from a return on average assets of 0.53% and a return on average equity of 5.57% for 2010.

For the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company recorded net income of $2.6 million or $0.24 per share on a diluted basis, up from $1.6 million or $0.14 per share on a diluted basis for the fourth quarter 2010. The increase in net income was primarily related to the acquisition of Canyon National Bank ("Canyon National") from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), as receiver.

Steve Gardner, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the results for 2011, "Our results during the year reflect the ability of our employees to execute on every aspect of our strategic plan. During another challenging year for the economy, we were able to generate solid results reflected by our return on average equity of 12.91% and the growth in our fully diluted book value to $8.34 per share. Through the acquisition of Canyon National and our ability to retain its core customers, we have enhanced our franchise value by improving the composition of our deposit base. During 2011, we continued the diversification of the loan portfolio and added a number of new business relationships. These efforts, along with growth in lower cost transaction accounts, which represent 48% of deposits at year end, drove the expansion of our net interest margin by 78 basis points to 4.55%."

Mr. Gardner remarked on asset quality, "Our proven approach to managing problem assets was reflected in our ability to quickly reduce the amount of delinquent loans and OREO we acquired from Canyon National in the first quarter of 2011. Since the end of that quarter, nonperforming assets have declined 76% resulting in nonaccrual loans to total loans of 0.82%, delinquent loans to gross loans of 0.77% and nonperforming assets to total assets of 0.76% as of December 31, 2011. Our conservative credit culture and proactive approach to managing credit has produced superior results from our loan portfolio which continues to perform well."

Mr. Gardner concluded, "Our strong balance sheet provides us flexibility within the current environment. We will remain disciplined as we analyze acquisition opportunities to expand our franchise with the key goal of creating shareholder value. Our managers and business bankers arrive each day focused on generating new business banking clients and expanding the Bank's relationships with our existing customers. These factors have been the drivers of our ability to outperform our peers."

Net Interest Income

Net interest income totaled $11.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, up $3.4 million or 45.5% from the fourth quarter of 2010, reflecting a higher net interest margin and a $135.5 million or 17.6% increase in average interest-earning assets. The increase in average interest-earning assets resulted primarily from the Canyon National acquisition, which added $179.8 million in interest earning assets. The net interest margin was 4.84% in the fourth quarter of 2011, up 93 basis points from a year ago and 22 basis points from the third quarter of 2011. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2010, the increase in our net interest margin resulted from a decrease in the average costs on interest-bearing liabilities of 59 basis points to 1.01% and an increase in the yield on interest-earning assets of 38 basis points to 5.81%. For the fourth quarter of 2011, the decrease in costs on our interest-bearing liabilities was mainly associated with a decline in our cost of deposits of 51 basis points from 1.41% to 0.90%, primarily as a result of the deposits acquired from Canyon National, which changed our deposit composition to have a higher mix of lower costing transaction accounts. In addition, our cost of borrowings declined by 45 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, due to the pay down of higher costing borrowings as a result of the liquidity received in the Canyon National acquisition. The increase in yield on our interest-earning assets was mainly associated with a greater proportion of higher yielding loans to lower yielding investment securities in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared with such proportion in the fourth quarter 2010. Due to the accounting rules associated with our purchased credit impaired loans acquired from Canyon National, each quarter we are required to re-estimate cash flows which can cause volatility in our yield on loans. For the fourth quarter of 2011, discount amortization on our purchased credit impaired loans contributed 11 basis points to our loan yield.

For 2011, our net interest income totaled $40.6 million, up $12.2 million or 42.9% from 2010. The increase in net interest income was associated with a higher net interest margin which increased by 78 basis points to 4.55%, and higher interest-earning assets, which grew by $138.3 million to $893.0 million. The increase in net interest margin and average interest-earning assets primarily related to the Canyon National acquisition. The net interest margin was positively impacted by a lower overall acquired deposit cost at the time of acquisition of 47 basis points.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company recorded a $527,000 provision for loan losses during the fourth quarter of 2011, compared with no provision recorded in the fourth quarter of 2010. Net loan charge-offs amounted to $527,000 in the fourth quarter of 2011, up $236,000 from $291,000 experienced during the fourth quarter of 2010. Of the current quarter total loan charge-offs of $834,000, other purchased loans of $708,000 and purchased credit impaired loans of $109,000 related to the Canyon National acquisition.

For 2011, the provision for loan losses totaled $3.3 million and net loan charge-offs totaled $3.6 million. This compares with a provision for loan losses of $2.1 million and net charge-offs of $2.1 million for 2010.

Noninterest income (loss)

The Company had noninterest income of $257,000 in the fourth quarter of 2011, an increase of $243,000 from the fourth quarter of 2010. The increase resulted from higher deposit fee income of $340,000 and loan servicing fee income of $293,000, partially offset by higher losses on the sale of loans of $505,000. The increases in both fee categories were primarily related to the Canyon National acquisition.

For 2011, our noninterest income totaled $6.5 million, compared with a loss of $1.1 million in 2010. The favorable change of $7.6 million reflected a bargain purchase gain of $4.2 million on the Canyon National acquisition and increases in deposit fee income of $1.4 million, loan servicing fee income of $660,000, other income of $596,000, gain on the sale of investment securities available for sale of $569,000 and an improvement in other-than-temporary impairment loss on investment securities of $470,000, partially offset by an increase in loss on the sale of loans of $273,000. Increases in deposit fee, servicing fee and other income categories were primarily related to the Canyon National acquisition.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $6.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, up $1.6 million or 32.1% from the fourth quarter of 2010. Most of our noninterest expense categories increased primarily as a result of the Canyon National acquisition, which included increases in compensation and benefits costs of $824,000; premises and occupancy expenses of $239,000, which included depreciation expense for the purchase of one Canyon National branch location from the FDIC; data processing and communications expense of $172,000; OREO operations, net of $166,000; and other expense of $143,000, partially offset by lower legal and audit costs of $159,000. Although we expected to incur higher expenses in conjunction with the Canyon National acquisition, we have achieved improved efficiencies as reflected by our efficiency ratio of 50.4% for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared with 58.7% for the fourth quarter of 2010.

For 2011, noninterest expense totaled $26.9 million, up $8.0 million or 42.0% from 2010. With the exception of our FDIC insurance premiums, all expense categories increased in 2011 as compared to 2010 and included increases in compensation and benefits costs of $4.7 million, primarily from an increase in employee count and termination costs; other expenses of $941,000; premises and occupancy expense of $878,000; data processing and communications expense of $613,000; and marketing expense of $501,000. These expense increases almost entirely related to the Canyon National acquisition and were partially offset by lower FDIC insurance premiums of $449,000, primarily due to the improvement in our assessment rate during the third quarter of 2011.

Assets and Liabilities

At December 31, 2011, assets totaled $961.1 million, up $134.3 million or 16.2% from December 31, 2010. The increase since year end 2010 is predominately related to the Canyon National acquisition. During the fourth quarter of 2011, assets increased $32.6 million or 3.5%, primarily due to an increase in cash of $22.4 million, investment securities available for sale of $7.9 million and loans held for investment of $4.1 million.

Investment securities available for sale totaled $115.6 million at December 31, 2011, down $39.4 million or 25.4% from December 31, 2010. During the fourth quarter of 2011, investment securities increased by $7.9 million and included purchases of $41.0 million, partially offset by sales of $29.7 million and principal payments of $2.8 million. At December 31, 2011, 53 of our 64 private label mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") were classified as substandard or impaired and had a book value of $2.8 million and a market value of $2.2 million. Interest received from these securities is applied against their respective principal balances. All of our private label MBS were acquired when we redeemed our shares in certain mutual funds in 2008.

Net loans held for investment totaled $738.6 million at December 31, 2011, an increase of $174.2 million or 30.9% from December 31, 2010. The increase in 2011 is predominately related to the Canyon National acquisition. Additionally, after thorough analysis on how to diversify our loan portfolio and generate new business banking customers, we decided to offer warehouse repurchase facilities for a select number of mortgage banking lenders at the end of 2010. This product is only offered to those mortgage bankers that have an established track record of sound operations, adequate capital and liquidity to support their origination volume, and a demonstrated ability to originate loans in a consistently sound manner. We generally accept only conforming conventional and government guaranteed loan products in these facilities, which are closely monitored by Bank credit and operations staff. Through these efforts, we have grown this product during 2011 to be just over 9% of our gross loans at $67.5 million at year-end 2011. During the fourth quarter of 2011, net loans held for investment increased $4.1 million or 0.6% and included loan originations of $50.2 million, partially offset by principal repayments of $30.3 million and loan sales of $15.3 million. At December 31, 2011, the loans to deposits ratio was 89.1%, down from 92.1% at September 30, 2011, but up from 85.6% at December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2011, our allowance for loan losses was $8.5 million, essentially unchanged from September 30, 2011 and down $357,000 from December 31, 2010. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of nonaccrual loans was 139.9% at December 31, 2011, up from 91.1% at September 30, 2011, but down from 270.9% at December 31, 2010. The decrease in allowance for loan losses as a percent of nonaccrual loans from year-end 2010 was primarily due to the addition of nonaccrual loans acquired from Canyon National. At December 31, 2011, the ratio of allowance for loan losses to total gross loans was 1.2%, essentially equal to that at September 30, 2011, but down from 1.6% at December 31, 2010.

Deposits totaled $828.9 million at December 31, 2011, up $169.6 million or 25.7% from December 31, 2010. The increase from year-end 2010 is predominately related to the Canyon National acquisition. During the fourth quarter of 2011, deposits increased $31.5 million or 4.0% due primarily to increases in retail certificates of deposit of $30.6 million, noninterest-bearing accounts of $3.1 million and interest-bearing transaction accounts of $2.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in wholesale certificates of deposit of $4.2 million. At December 31, 2011, we had no brokered deposits. The total end of period cost of deposits at December 31, 2011 decreased to 0.89%, from 0.94% at September 30, 2011 and from 1.40% at December 31, 2010.

At December 31, 2011, total borrowings amounted to $38.8 million, down $40.0 million or 50.8% from December 31, 2010. As a result of the liquidity we received from the Canyon National acquisition, we paid off $40.0 million in fixed rate Federal Home Loan Bank term advances in the first quarter of 2011, which primarily accounts for the change from year-end 2010. Borrowings were unchanged during the fourth quarter of 2011. Total borrowings at December 31, 2011 represented 4.0% of total assets and had a weighted average cost of 3.07%, compared with 4.2% of total assets at a weighted average cost of 3.03% at September 30, 2011 and 9.53% of total assets and at a weighted average cost of 1.81% at December 31, 2010.

Nonperforming Assets

At December 31, 2011, nonperforming assets totaled $7.3 million or 0.76% of total assets, up from $3.3 million or 0.40% of total assets at December 31, 2010, but down from $12.2 million or 1.31% of total assets at September 30, 2011. During the fourth quarter of 2011, nonperforming loans decreased $3.3 million to total $6.1 million and OREO decreased $1.6 million to total $1.2 million. The decline in nonperforming loans and OREO was primarily due to sales that exceeded any additions to such categories. At December 31, 2011, OREO consisted primarily of land of $678,000, one commercial real estate property of $341,000 and single family residences of $212,000.

Capital Ratios

At December 31, 2011, our ratio of tangible common equity to total assets was 8.83%, with a basic book value per share of $8.39 and diluted book value per share of $8.34.

At December 31, 2011, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements with a ratio for tier 1 leverage capital of 9.44%, tier 1 risked-based capital of 11.49% and total risk-based capital of 12.59%. These capital ratios exceeded the "well capitalized" standards defined by the federal banking regulators of 5.00% for tier 1 leverage capital, 6.00% for tier 1 risked-based capital and 10.00%, for total risk-based capital. At December 31, 2011, the Company had a ratio for tier 1 leverage capital of 9.50%, tier 1 risked-based capital of 11.50% and total risk-based capital of 12.60%.

The Company owns all of the capital stock of the Bank. The Bank provides business and consumer banking products to its customers through our nine full-service depository branches in Southern California located in the cities of Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, Los Alamitos, Newport Beach, Palm Desert, Palm Springs, San Bernardino and Seal Beach.
