“The first quarter results, and particularly actions taken at the end of the quarter, reflect continued effort toward our strategic transformation,” said Jared Wolff, President and Chief Executive Officer of Banc of California. “We increased our core deposits during the quarter by $58 million and more importantly, increased our noninterest bearing deposits by $97 million. Additionally, we decreased our wholesale funding balance to 24% of total funding. Credit quality remained strong with non-performing assets to total assets at 0.29% at quarter end.”

Mr. Wolff continued, “This will be my first quarterly earnings call as the company’s President and CEO, and I am honored to be leading Banc of California at such an exciting time for the company. We have a great brand, very talented people at all levels and are located in one of the best banking markets in the country with the expertise, products and platform necessary to be one of the premier community banking franchises in California.

Non-GAAP Measures

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
 
Under Item 10(e) of SEC Regulation S-K, public companies disclosing financial measures in filings with the SEC that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP must also disclose, along with each non-GAAP financial measure, certain additional information, including a presentation of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as a statement of the reasons why the company’s management believes that presentation of the non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the company’s financial condition and results of operations and, to the extent material, a statement of the additional purposes, if any, for which the company’s management uses the non-GAAP financial measure.
 
Return on average tangible common equity and efficiency ratio, as adjusted, tangible common equity to tangible assets, and tangible common equity per common share constitute supplemental financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. 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, goodwill, and other intangible assets from stockholders’ equity. Tangible assets is calculated by subtracting goodwill and other intangible assets from total assets. Banking regulators also exclude goodwill and other intangible assets from stockholders’ equity when assessing the capital adequacy of a financial institution.
 
Adjusted efficiency ratio is calculated by subtracting loss on investments in alternative energy partnerships from noninterest expense and adding total pre-tax return, which includes the loss on investments in alternative energy partnerships, to the sum of net interest income and noninterest income (total revenue). 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 with financial measures defined by GAAP.
