Banc of California, Inc. (NYSE: BANC) ("Banc of California" or the "Company"), the parent company of wholly-owned subsidiary Banc of California (the "Bank"), today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. The Company reported net earnings available to common and equivalent stockholders of $59.7 million, or $0.38 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2025. This compares to net earnings available to common and equivalent stockholders of $18.4 million, or $0.12 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2025. On an adjusted basis, net earnings available to common and equivalent stockholders were $48.4 million for the second quarter of 2025, or $0.31 per diluted common share.(1) The second quarter of 2025 included provision expense, net of tax, of an additional $20.2 million taken during the quarter as a result of transferring $506.7 million of loans to held for sale at their estimated fair value. The second quarter also included a one-time non-cash income tax expense of $9.8 million primarily due to the revaluation of deferred tax assets related to California state tax changes passed as part of the 2025 California budget.
Third Quarter of 2025 Financial Highlights:
Total revenue of $287.7 million increased over 5% and pre-tax pre-provision income(1) of $102.0 million increased 17% from 2Q25 driven by strong net interest income growth, margin expansion, and continued expense discipline.
Net interest margin up 12 basis points from 2Q25 to 3.22% driven by a higher average yield on loans and leases increasing by 12 basis points and lower cost of funds decreasing by 5 basis points from 2Q25.
Noninterest-bearing deposits of $7.6 billion increased 9% annualized from 2Q25. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 28% of total deposits at the end of the third quarter, up from 27% at the end of the second quarter.
Loan production and disbursements totaled $2.1 billion with a weighted average interest rate on production of 7.08%.
Liquidated $263.5 million of held for sale commercial real estate loans through strategic loan sales and payoffs.
Credit quality metrics remained stable with 4% reduction in criticized loans from 2Q25. The allowance for credit losses ratio increased to 1.12%, up from 1.07% in 2Q25.
Noninterest expenses of $185.7 million remained flat from 2Q25 resulting in an efficiency ratio(1) decrease to 62.05% from 65.50% in 2Q25.
Repurchases of 2.2 million shares of common and common equivalent stock at a weighted average price per share of $16.48, or $35.5 million in the aggregate, during the third quarter, and 13.6 million shares of common stock at a weighted average price per share of $13.59, or $185.5 million in the aggregate, year-to-date.
Strong capital ratios(2) well above the regulatory thresholds for "well capitalized" banks, including an estimated 12.56% Tier 1 capital ratio and 10.14% CET 1 capital ratio and continued growth in book value per share to $19.09, up 3% vs 2Q25, and tangible book value per share(1) to $16.99, up 3% vs 2Q25.

Jared Wolff, Chairman & CEO of Banc of California, commented, "Our third quarter results reflect the strength of our core earnings engine and the disciplined execution of our business plan by our teams. We continued to deliver double digit earnings growth on an adjusted basis, expanded operating leverage, and meaningfully improved profitability.

As we continue to remix the balance sheet, we expect further earnings growth."
Mr. Wolff added: "Our teams remain focused on executing our strategy, deepening client relationships, and optimizing our balance sheet. Given our attractive footprint and strong position in key markets, we believe we are uniquely positioned to continue this momentum. Looking ahead, we see a good pipeline for the fourth quarter and remain confident that our disciplined approach positions us well to drive profitable, long-term growth, and create value for our shareholders."

Net Interest Income and Margin
Third Quarter of 2025 Compared to Second Quarter of 2025
Net interest income increased by $13.2 million to $253.4 million for the third quarter from $240.2 million for the second quarter, attributable primarily to the following:
An increase of $10.4 million in interest income from loans due to higher average yield driven mainly by higher rate on new loan production, a higher day count, and higher income from loan payoffs, including the payoff of a large commercial real estate loan.
A decrease of $1.9 million in interest expense on deposits due primarily to lower average balances largely driven by lower brokered deposits and lower interest rates, partially offset by a higher day count.
An increase of $0.9 million in interest income from deposits in financial institutions driven mainly by higher average balances and a higher day count, partially offset by lower interest rates.
The net interest margin was 3.22% for the third quarter, up 12 basis points from 3.10% for the second quarter, primarily driven by a higher average yield on interest-earning assets. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased to 5.50% from 5.42%, reflecting a 12 basis point increase in the average yield on loans and leases to 6.05%, largely due to the higher income related to loan payoffs discussed above.
The average total cost of funds was 2.37% for the third quarter, down 5 basis points from 2.42% for the second quarter, driven by lower deposit and borrowing costs and a favorable shift in the funding mix. Brokered deposits decreased as strong customer deposit inflows in the third quarter were used to reduce higher-cost funding sources. As a result, the average total cost of deposits decreased by 5 basis points to 2.08% from 2.13%, while the average cost of borrowings declined by 17 basis points to 4.76%.
Average total deposits decreased by $12.9 million, with a $112.1 million decrease in average interest-bearing deposits partially offset by a $99.2 million increase in average noninterest-bearing deposits. Average noninterest-bearing deposits represented 28.2% of average total deposits in the third quarter, up from 27.8% in the second quarter.

YTD September 30, 2025 vs YTD September 30, 2024
Net interest income increased by $35.3 million to $726.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $690.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 attributable primarily to the following:
A decrease of $133.4 million in interest expense on deposits due primarily to lower interest paid on interest-bearing deposits as a result of deposit rate repricing driven by the 100 basis points of federal funds rate cuts in the second half of 2024 and lower average balances due mainly to the paydown of brokered deposits.
A decrease of $30.4 million in interest expense on borrowings and subordinated debt driven by lower average balances resulting from the payoff of higher-cost borrowings in 2024, which were partially replaced with lower-cost long-term FHLB advances and lower market interest rates.
An increase of $10.7 million in interest income from investment securities reflecting the benefits from 2024 balance sheet repositioning actions and reinvestment in higher-yield securities.
This was offset partially by:
A decrease of $76.1 million in interest income from deposits in financial institutions driven by lower balances, as we maintained a lower cash target level and lower market interest rates.
A decrease of $63.1 million in interest income from loans due primarily to lower market interest rates reflective of federal funds rate cuts, lower average balances attributable mainly to the sale in July 2024 of $1.95 billion of Civic loans, and by lower net loan discount accretion income.
The net interest margin was 3.13% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, up 34 basis points from 2.79% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The year-over-year improvement was primarily driven by a 53 basis point decrease in the average total cost of funds to 2.40%, offset partially by a 17 basis point decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 5.44%.
The average total cost of funds decreased by 53 basis points to 2.40%, driven by lower market interest rates and a shift in mix. The average cost of deposits declined by 49 basis points to 2.11%, reflecting the impact of federal funds rate cuts in the second half of 2024. Average total deposits decreased by $1.7 billion year over year, including a $1.5 billion reduction in average interest-bearing deposits and a $144.0 million decrease in average noninterest-bearing deposits. Despite this decline, average noninterest-bearing deposits represented 28.2% of average total deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, up from 27.0% for the comparable period in 2024. The average cost of borrowings also decreased by 75 basis points to 4.99%, reflecting the paydown of higher-cost borrowings in the prior year and their replacement with lower-cost long-term FHLB advances.
The average yield on interest-earning assets declined by 17 basis points to 5.44%, due primarily to a 102 basis point decrease in the average yield on deposits in financial institutions, and an 18 basis point decline in the average yield on loans and leases, offset partially by a 27 basis point increase in the average yield on investment securities. The average yield on deposits in financial institutions decreased to 4.39% from 5.41% driven by the federal funds rate cuts described above, while the average yield on loans and leases decreased to 5.96% from 6.14%, driven by lower net loan discount accretion income and market rates. The average yield on investment securities increased to 3.21% from 2.94%, reflecting continued benefits from the 2024 balance sheet repositioning actions and reinvestment into higher-yield assets.

Provision For Credit Losses
Third Quarter of 2025 Compared to Second Quarter of 2025
The provision for credit losses was $9.7 million for the third quarter compared to $39.1 million for the second quarter. The third quarter provision included a provision for loan losses of $8.7 million and a $1.0 million provision for unfunded loan commitments.
The third quarter provision for loan losses and unfunded loan commitments reflected changes in loan risk ratings, new originations, changes in the macroeconomic outlook, and higher unfunded commitments, partially offset by net recoveries and a lower qualitative reserve driven by lower balances in commercial real estate loans secured by office properties compared to the prior quarter.
The second quarter provision included a $38.6 million provision for loan losses and a $0.9 million provision for credit losses related to investment securities, offset by a $0.4 million reversal of the provision for unfunded loan commitments.
The second quarter provision for loan losses included $26.3 million related to loans transferred to held for sale ("HFS") for the pending strategic loan sales. The remaining $12.3 million increase in provision for loan losses was primarily driven by net charge-off activity experienced during the quarter, and an increase in the reserve driven by the updated economic forecast.
YTD September 30, 2025 vs YTD September 30, 2024
The provision for credit losses was $58.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $30.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The provision for the 2025 period primarily included a provision for loan losses of $57.0 million and a provision for unfunded loan commitments of $1.2 million.
The provision for the 2025 period included $26.3 million related to loans transferred to HFS, as described above. The remaining increase in the provision for loan losses and unfunded loan commitments was primarily driven by net charge-off activity experienced in the first half of the year, with additional impacts from changes in loan risk ratings. These were offset partially by lower specific reserves and a favorable shift in the portfolio mix due to growth in loan segments with lower expected credit losses.
The provision for loan losses and unfunded loan commitments for the 2024 period included a $32.0 million provision for loan losses and a $2.0 million reversal of the provision for unfunded loan commitments. The provision for the 2024 period was generally due to higher net charge-offs and higher qualitative reserves, offset partially by the reserves released for the Civic loans transferred to HFS in the second quarter of 2024 and sold in the third quarter of 2024.
Noninterest Income
Third Quarter of 2025 Compared to Second Quarter of 2025
Noninterest income increased by $1.7 million to $34.3 million for the third quarter from $32.6 million for the second quarter due mainly to a $2.4 million increase in dividends and gains on equity investments, offset partially by a $0.8 million decrease in warrant income. The increase in dividends and gains on equity investments was primarily related to fair value gains in the third quarter on Small Business Investment Company ("SBIC") investments compared to fair value losses in the second quarter. The decrease in warrant income was driven by lower gains from warrant exercises.
YTD September 30, 2025 vs YTD September 30, 2024
Noninterest income increased by $52.4 million to $100.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $48.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The prior year period included a $59.9 million loss on the sale of $742 million of securities executed as part of a balance sheet repositioning initiative, which was partially offset by a $9.0 million decrease in leased equipment income, as the prior year benefited from higher gains from early lease terminations and sale of leased assets.
Noninterest Expense
Third Quarter of 2025 Compared to Second Quarter of 2025
Noninterest expense remained relatively flat at $185.7 million for the third quarter compared to $185.9 million for the second quarter.
YTD September 30, 2025 vs YTD September 30, 2024
Noninterest expense decreased by $55.2 million to $555.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 due mainly to decreases of $33.9 million in insurance and assessments, $17.2 million in customer related expenses, $6.4 million in occupancy expense, and $10.7 million in all of the other expense categories, offset partially by an increase of $13.2 million in acquisition, integration and reorganization costs. Insurance and assessment decreased primarily due to incremental FDIC special assessments recorded in 2024, which reflected higher assessment rates. Customer related expense decreased due to lower earnings credit rate expenses, driven by the lower federal funds rate. Occupancy expense decreased as a result of cost savings from branch consolidations following the PacWest Bancorp merger. Acquisition, integration and reorganization costs of $13.2 million in 2024 reflected adjustments to the merger-related accruals, as actual expenses were lower than previously estimated.
Income Taxes
Third Quarter of 2025 Compared to Second Quarter of 2025
Income tax expense of $22.7 million was recorded for the third quarter resulting in an effective tax rate of 24.6% compared to income tax expense of $19.5 million and an effective tax rate of 40.7% for the second quarter.
The higher effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2025 included a one-time non-cash income tax expense of $9.8 million due primarily to the revaluation of deferred tax assets related to the California state tax changes passed as part of the 2025 California budget enacted on June 30, 2025 and effective retroactively to January 1, 2025.
YTD September 30, 2025 vs YTD September 30, 2024
Income tax expense of $61.7 million was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, resulting in an effective tax rate of 28.9% compared to income tax expense of $28.6 million and an effective tax rate of 29.0% for the comparable period in 2024.

Securities
Securities available-for-sale ("AFS") increased by $180.6 million during the third quarter to $2.4 billion at September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by $277.6 million of purchases and a $25.8 million increase in the fair value of AFS securities, offset partially by $110.4 million of principal paydowns, $10.6 million of maturities, and $1.8 million of net amortization. As of September 30, 2025, AFS securities had aggregate unrealized net after-tax losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") of $147.9 million, down from $166.6 million at June 30, 2025. AFS securities recorded lower unrealized net losses quarter-over-quarter, driven by a slight decline in interest rates, which positively impacted fair values.
The balance of securities held-to-maturity ("HTM") decreased by $13.1 million in the third quarter to $2.3 billion at September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, HTM securities had aggregate unrealized net after-tax losses in AOCI of $139.7 million remaining from the balance established at the time of transfer from AFS.

Total loans and leases held for investment decreased by $135.3 million in the third quarter and totaled $24.1 billion at September 30, 2025. The decrease in loans and leases held for investment was due primarily to decreased balances in residential real estate construction and land loans, multi-family loans, and venture capital loans, offset partially by an increase in asset-based loans. Loan production and disbursements totaled $2.1 billion in the third quarter with a weighted average interest rate on production of 7.08%.
Total loans and leases held for sale decreased by $254.1 million in the third quarter and totaled $211.5 million at September 30, 2025. The decrease in loans held for sale primarily reflects the sale of loans that were transferred to held for sale in the second quarter, as well as loan payoffs.

The overall quality of our loan portfolio remains strong, supported by disciplined underwriting, borrower strength, and robust credit metrics. Credit quality metrics remained stable in the third quarter, with 4% reduction in criticized loans from the second quarter driven by special mention loans decreasing 24% to 2.10% of total loans held for investment, partially offset by an increase in classified loans, which increased to 3.17% largely due to a risk rating framework update within the Venture Banking loan portfolio. Classified loans also included a $49.6 million commercial real estate loan which became classified in the third quarter. Subsequent to quarter end, the borrower entered into a contract to sell the underlying property at a price above our loan amount. The sale is expected to close in the fourth quarter.
At September 30, 2025, total delinquent loans and leases were $161.4 million, compared to $149.5 million at June 30, 2025. The $11.9 million increase in total delinquent loans was driven by higher balances in both the 30 to 89 days and the 90 or more days delinquent categories. The 30 to 89 days delinquent category increased by $3.7 million in other commercial loans. In the 90 or more days delinquent category, there were increases of $26.6 million in other residential real estate mortgage loans and $4.8 million in commercial real estate mortgage loans, offset partially by a decrease of $21.7 million in multi-family loans. Total delinquent loans and leases as a percentage of loans and leases held for investment increased to 0.67% at September 30, 2025 from 0.62% at June 30, 2025.
At September 30, 2025, nonperforming loans and leases were $174.5 million, compared to $167.5 million at June 30, 2025. During the third quarter, nonperforming loans and leases increased by $7.0 million due to additions of $40.0 million, offset partially by payoffs and paydowns of $27.4 million, transfers to accrual status of $3.0 million, and charge-offs of $2.7 million.
Nonperforming loans and leases as a percentage of loans and leases held for investment increased to 0.72% at September 30, 2025 from 0.69% at June 30, 2025.
At September 30, 2025, nonperforming assets were $179.3 million, or 0.53% of total assets, compared to $175.3 million, or 0.51% of total assets, as of June 30, 2025. At September 30, 2025, nonperforming assets included $4.8 million of foreclosed assets, consisting primarily of single-family residences.

The allowance for credit losses - loans, which includes the reserve for unfunded loan commitments, totaled $270.7 million, or 1.12% of total loans and leases, at September 30, 2025, compared to $258.6 million, or 1.07% of total loans and leases, at June 30, 2025. The $12.2 million increase in the allowance was driven by a $9.7 million provision and net recoveries of $2.5 million, and the ACL coverage ratio increased by 5 basis points driven by the higher allowance balance and lower loan balances of $135.3 million.
During the third quarter, we recorded a provision of $9.7 million that consisted of an $8.7 million provision associated with the ALLL and a $1.0 million provision associated with the RUC commitments.
Our ability to absorb credit losses is also bolstered by (i) $110.5 million of loss coverage from the credit-linked notes, pursuant to which the bank sold the first 5% of any losses on $2.2 billion of single-family residential mortgage loans in our portfolio; and (ii) unearned credit marks of $17.5 million on approximately $1.4 billion of purchased loans without credit deterioration. When the loss coverage from the credit-linked notes and unearned credit marks is added to our allowance for credit losses, this provides additional economic coverage on top of our ACL ratio. We refer to this adjusted ACL ratio as our economic coverage ratio(1), which equaled 1.65% of total loans and leases at September 30, 2025 compared to 1.61% at June 30, 2025.
The ACL coverage of nonperforming loans and leases was 155% at September 30, 2025 compared to 154% at June 30, 2025.
Net recoveries were 0.04% of average loans and leases (annualized) for the third quarter, compared to net charge-offs of 0.72% for the second quarter. The improvement in the third quarter was primarily attributable to $2.8 million of net recoveries related to commercial loans and $1.4 million related to real estate construction loans.

Total deposits decreased by $343.7 million to $27.2 billion at September 30, 2025 from $27.5 billion at June 30, 2025, driven by a decrease in interest-bearing deposits of $506.3 million, offset partially by an increase in noninterest-bearing deposits of $162.6 million. Interest-bearing deposits decreased due mainly to lower balances in money market accounts of $400.9 million, lower brokered and non-brokered time deposits of $78.4 million, and lower checking accounts of $43.5 million, offset partially by higher savings accounts of $16.5 million.
At September 30, 2025, noninterest-bearing checking deposits totaled $7.6 billion, or 28% of total deposits, compared to $7.4 billion, or 27% of total deposits, at June 30, 2025.
At September 30, 2025, uninsured and uncollateralized deposits totaled $7.6 billion, or 28% of total deposits, compared to $7.6 billion, or 27% of total deposits, at June 30, 2025.
In addition to deposit products, we also offer alternative, non-depository corporate treasury solutions for select clients to invest excess liquidity. These off-balance sheet client funds totaled $1.1 billion as of September 30, 2025, compared to $1.5 billion as of June 30, 2025.
Borrowings
Borrowings increased by $87.8 million to $2.0 billion at September 30, 2025 from $1.9 billion at June 30, 2025, mainly due to higher overnight and short-term borrowings.
Equity
During the third quarter, total stockholders’ equity increased by $39.9 million to $3.5 billion and tangible common equity(1) increased by $46.9 million to $2.6 billion at September 30, 2025. The increase in total stockholders’ equity for the third quarter resulted primarily from net earnings of $69.6 million, a decrease in the net after-tax net loss in AOCI for AFS and HTM securities of $25.0 million, and share-based award compensation of $6.1 million, offset partially by the repurchase of common and common equivalent stock of $35.5 million and common and preferred stock dividends of $26.1 million.

NON-GAAP MEASURES
We refer to certain financial measures that are not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in this press release, including: tangible common equity, tangible book value per common share, return on average tangible common equity, adjusted return on average tangible common equity, adjusted net earnings, adjusted return on average assets ("Adjusted ROAA"), pre-tax pre-provision income, efficiency ratio, and economic coverage ratio. These non-GAAP measures are used by management in its analysis of the Company's performance.
Tangible common equity is calculated by subtracting preferred stock, as applicable, from total common equity. Return on average tangible common equity is calculated by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders, after adjustment for amortization of intangible assets and any goodwill impairment, by average tangible common equity. Adjusted return on average tangible common equity is calculated by dividing adjusted net earnings available to common stockholders, after adjustment for amortization of intangible assets, any goodwill impairment, and any unusual items, by average tangible common equity. Banking regulators also exclude goodwill and other intangible assets from stockholders' equity when assessing the capital adequacy of a financial institution.
Adjusted net earnings is calculated by adjusting net earnings by unusual, one-time items.
Adjusted ROAA is calculated by dividing annualized adjusted net earnings, after adjustment for any unusual items, by average assets.
Pre-tax pre-provision income is calculated by subtracting noninterest expense from total revenue, which is the sum of net interest income and noninterest income.
Efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing noninterest expense (less intangible asset amortization and acquisition, integration and reorganization costs) by total revenue (the sum of net interest income and noninterest income).
Economic coverage ratio is calculated by dividing the allowance for credit losses adjusted for the impact of the credit-linked notes and unearned credit mark from purchase accounting by loans and leases held for investment.
Management believes the presentation of these financial measures adjusting the impact of these items provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the financial results and operating performance of the Company. This disclosure should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
The following tables provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to financial measures defined by GAAP.
