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 2021 with net recoveries of $1.9 million for the year and continued decreases in special mention (down 46% in 2021) and classified loans and leases (down 56% in 2021) which resulted in a provision benefit for the fourth consecutive quarter.” “We had a strong year in 2021 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 2021 and we are well positioned as we begin 2022.” A photo accompanying this announcement is available at https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/be14ae62-9832-453c-9087-7d077d54bfcc FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS ` At or For the At or For the Three Months Ended Year Ended December 31, September 30, Increase December 31, IncreaseFinancial Highlights (1) 2021 2021 (Decrease) 2021 2020 (Decrease) (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)Net earnings (loss) $136,045 $139,996 $(3,951) $606,959 $(1,237,574) $1,844,533 Diluted earnings (loss) per share $1.14 $1.17 $(0.03) $5.10 $(10.61) $15.71 Pre-provision, pre-goodwill impairment, pre-tax net revenue ("PPNR") (2) $181,677 $167,766 $13,911 $660,334 $646,599 $13,735 Return on average assets 1.34% 1.55% (0.21) 1.71% (4.46)% 6.17 PPNR return on average assets (2) 1.79% 1.86% (0.07) 1.86% 2.33% (0.47)Return on average tangible equity (2) 22.06% 21.03% 1.03 24.41% 10.36% 14.05 Yield on average loans and leases (tax equivalent) 4.93% 5.01% (0.08) 5.08% 5.18% (0.10)Cost of average total deposits 0.08% 0.08% - 0.09% 0.27% (0.18)Net interest margin ("NIM") (tax equivalent) 3.24% 3.33% (0.09) 3.40% 4.05% (0.65)Efficiency ratio 46.2% 47.2% (1.0) 46.9% 43.1% 3.8 Total assets $40,443,344 $35,885,676 $4,557,668 $40,443,344 $29,498,442 $10,944,902 Loans and leases held for investment, net of deferred fees $22,941,548 $20,511,020 $2,430,528 $22,941,548 $19,083,377 $3,858,171 Noninterest-bearing demand deposits $14,543,133 $12,881,806 $1,661,327 $14,543,133 $9,193,827 $5,349,306 Core deposits $32,734,949 $28,140,708 $4,594,241 $32,734,949 $22,264,480 $10,470,469 Total deposits $34,997,757 $30,559,745 $4,438,012 $34,997,757 $24,940,717 $10,057,040 As percentage of total deposits: Noninterest-bearing demand deposits 41% 42% (1) 41% 37% 4 Core deposits 93% 92% 1 93% 89% 4 Equity to assets ratio 9.89% 10.92% (1.03) 9.89% 12.19% (2.30)Common equity tier 1 capital ratio 8.86% 10.15% (1.29) 8.86% 10.53% (1.67)Total capital ratio 12.69% 14.36% (1.67) 12.69% 13.76% (1.07)Tangible common equity ratio (2) 6.54% 7.79% (1.25) 6.54% 8.78% (2.24)Book value per share $33.45 $32.77 $0.68 $33.45 $30.36 $3.09 Tangible book value per share (2) $21.31 $22.57 $(1.26) $21.31 $21.05 $0.26 (1) The operations of the Homeowners Association Services business are included from its October 8, 2021 acquisition date and the operations of Civic are included from its February 1, 2021 acquisition date.(2) Non-GAAP measure. INCOME STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income increased by $24.6 million to $300.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $275.8 million for the third quarter of 2021 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 2021 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 2021 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 2021 compared to 5.01% for the third quarter of 2021. 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 2021 compared to 3.33% for the third quarter of 2021. 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 2021. 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, 2021. The cost of average total deposits was 0.08% in the fourth quarter of 2021, unchanged from 0.08% in the third quarter of 2021. PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES The following table presents details of the provision for credit losses for the periods indicated: Three Months Ended December 31, September 30, IncreaseProvision for Credit Losses 2021 2021 (Decrease) (In thousands) (Reduction in) addition to allowance for loan and lease losses $(3,000) $(21,500) $18,500 (Reduction in) addition to reserve for unfunded loan commitments (3,000) 1,500 (4,500)Total provision for credit losses $(6,000) $(20,000) $14,000 The provision for credit losses benefit was $6.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to a benefit of $20.0 million for the third quarter of 2021. 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 The following table presents details of noninterest income for the periods indicated: Three Months Ended December 31, September 30, IncreaseNoninterest Income 2021 2021 (Decrease) (In thousands) Service charges on deposit accounts $3,476 $3,407 $69 Other commissions and fees 10,633 11,792 (1,159)Leased equipment income 12,602 10,943 1,659 Gain on sale of loans and leases 172 - 172 Gain on sale of securities 999 515 484 Other income: Dividends and gains on equity investments (1,570) 8,387 (9,957)Warrant income 23,990 13,578 10,412 Other 7,080 2,723 4,357 Total noninterest income $57,382 $51,345 $6,037 Noninterest income increased by $6.0 million to $57.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $51.3 million for the third quarter of 2021 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 2021. 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 The following table presents details of noninterest expense for the periods indicated: Three Months Ended December 31, September 30, IncreaseNoninterest Expense 2021 2021 (Decrease) (In thousands) Compensation $99,700 $98,061 $1,639 Occupancy 14,656 14,928 (272)Data processing 8,171 7,391 780 Other professional services 5,946 5,164 782 Insurance and assessments 5,032 3,685 1,347 Intangible asset amortization 3,876 2,890 986 Leased equipment depreciation 9,569 8,603 966 Foreclosed assets (income) expense, net (260) 165 (425)Acquisition, integration and reorganization costs 5,590 200 5,390 Customer related expense 6,175 4,538 1,637 Loan expense 5,627 4,180 1,447 Other 12,028 9,616 2,412 Total noninterest expense $176,110 $159,421 $16,689 Noninterest expense increased by $16.7 million to $176.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $159.4 million for the third quarter of 2021 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, 2021. 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 2021 compared to 25.4% in the third quarter of 2021. The increase was due primarily to an increase in state tax rates for fiscal year 2021 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 2021 was 26.2%. The effective tax rate for the full year 2022 is currently estimated to be in the range of 25% to 27%.

In addition to deposit products, we also offer alternative, non-depository cash investment options for select clients. These alternative options include investments managed by Pacific Western Asset Management Inc. (“PWAM”), our registered investment advisor subsidiary, and third-party sweep products.

Amortized fees added approximately 38 basis points to loan yields in 2021. Loans and leases held for investment, net of deferred fees, increased by $2.4 billion or 11.8% in the fourth quarter of 2021 to $22.9 billion at December 31, 2021. 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 2021 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 2021 compared to $481 million in the third quarter of 2021. The total outstanding balance of the Civic loan portfolio as of December 31, 2021 was $1.4 billion. The PPP loan forgiveness in the fourth quarter of 2021 was $111 million, down from $338 million in the third quarter of 2021. Net fees for PPP loans were $3.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, down from the $7.9 million in the third quarter of 2021. Remaining PPP loans totaled $157 million as of December 31, 2021 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 2021 decreased to 3.89% from 4.24% in the third quarter of 2021 due primarily to the loan mix (higher levels of single-family loan pool purchases and equity fund loans). In the fourth quarter of 2021, we purchased $1.1 billion in single-family loan pools compared to $1.0 billion in the third quarter of 2021. The total of the single-family loan pool purchase portfolio as of December 31, 2021 was $2.3 billion.

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 2021 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 2021 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, 2021, 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 2021. 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 2021 due primarily to a decrease in nonaccrual short-term, single-family residential renovation loans as a result of payoffs during the quarter. The following table presents nonaccrual loans and leases and accruing loans and leases past due between 30 and 89 days by loan portfolio segment and class as of the dates indicated: December 31, 2021 September 30, 2021 Increase (Decrease) Accruing Accruing Accruing and 30-89 and 30-89 and 30-89 Days Past Days Past Days Past Nonaccrual Due Nonaccrual Due Nonaccrual Due (Dollars in thousands)Real estate mortgage: Commercial $27,540 $2,165 $25,615 $676 $1,925 $1,489 Income producing and other residential 12,292 39,929 7,547 3,760 4,745 36,169 Total real estate mortgage 39,832 42,094 33,162 4,436 6,670 37,658 Real estate construction and land: Commercial - - - - - - Residential 4,715 5,031 19,918 12,809 (15,203) (7,778)Total real estate construction and land 4,715 5,031 19,918 12,809 (15,203) (7,778)Commercial: Asset-based 1,464 - 1,605 - (141) - Venture capital 2,799 - 2,348 1,670 451 (1,670)Other commercial 11,950 630 6,979 340 4,971 290 Total commercial 16,213 630 10,932 2,010 5,281 (1,380)Consumer 414 1,004 495 1,042 (81) (38)Total held for investment $61,174 $48,759 $64,507 $20,297 $(3,333) $28,462 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, 2022, $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 2021 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.
