First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. Announces 3rdQuarter 2012 Results

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- First PacTrust Bancorp (NAS: BANC) ("First PacTrust" or the "Company"), the holding company for Pacific Trust Bank and Beach Business Bank, today announced results for the quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2012. For the quarter, the Company reported net income of $9.5 million and net income available to common shareholders of $9.2 million, or $0.79 per share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company reported net income of $9.2 million and net income available to common shareholders of $8.1 million, or $0.70 per share.

During the third quarter, the Company completed its acquisitions of Beach Business Bank and Gateway Business Bank. Transaction-related costs and severance payments related to executive management departures during the period resulted in approximately $4.2 million in expense recognized during the third quarter of 2012. The Company recognized a preliminary bargain purchase gain of $12.1 million related to the Gateway Business Bank acquisition and recorded goodwill of $7.1 million related to the Beach Business Bank acquisition during the third quarter of 2012. In conjunction with these acquisitions, the Company also recorded other intangible assets carried at $5.8 million at September 30, 2012, after third quarter 2012 amortization of $0.3 million. These other intangible assets included core deposit intangibles of $4.5 million for Beach and $0.7 million for Gateway and trade name intangibles of $1.0 million.


Steven Sugarman, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "We are pleased to have closed the acquisitions of Beach Business Bank and Gateway Business Bank. This quarter demonstrates First PacTrust's increased core earnings power as it passes $1.6 billion in assets. We seek to further enhance core earnings by closing on the acquisition of The Private Bank of California, targeted to occur in the second quarter of 2013, and by completing the integration of our current two banking subsidiaries into a single, fully integrated commercial bank."

The Company's total assets increased by $555 million from $1.1 billion at June 30, 2012 to finish the third quarter of 2012 at $1.7 billion. The Company's net interest margin for the third quarter of 2012 was 4.02% and its cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.53%. Non-interest income for the quarter climbed to $19.5 million including the bargain purchase gain. Growth in non-interest income was enhanced by the acquisition of Mission Hills Mortgage Bankers on August 18, 2012, as a part of the Gateway acquisition. Mission Hills Mortgage originated approximately $110 million in single-family residential loans per month during the third quarter.

After consolidation of the net deferred tax assets of Beach Business Bank and Gateway Business Bank, the Company has recorded a net deferred tax asset of $7.4 million, net of a valuation allowance of $7.0 million as of September 30, 2012. The Company will continue to evaluate this valuation allowance each quarter.

During the third quarter of 2012, the Company announced the planned acquisition of The Private Bank of California, a $600 million (assets) bank headquartered in Century City, CA. During the third quarter of 2012, the Company also reported a quarterly dividend of $0.12 per common share, paid on October 1, 2012.

The Company plans to discuss its third quarter earnings, among other items, at its Investor Day on November 9, 2012, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., Pacific Time.
