Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc. (the “Corporation”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, including Pacific Premier Bank (the “Bank”) (collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “our”“our,” or “us”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments and accruals that are necessary for a fair presentation of the statement of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 20202021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or the full year ending December 31, 2020.2021. Certain items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Reclassification had no effect on prior year net income or stockholders’ equity.
 
Certain information and notefootnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 (the “2019“2020 Form 10-K”).
 
The Company accounts forconsolidates voting entities in which the Company has control through voting interests or entities through which the Company has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The Company evaluates its investments in its wholly owned special purpose entities, Heritage Oaks Capital Trust II and Santa Lucia Bancorp (CA) Capital Trust, under the equity method whereby the subsidiary’s net earnings are recognized in the Company’s statement of income and the investmentinterests in these entities to determine whether they meet the definition of a VIE and whether the Company is included in other assets onrequired to consolidate these entities. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the Company’s Consolidated Statementsparty that has both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Financial Condition.the VIE and (ii) a variable interest that could potentially be significant to the VIE. To determine whether or not a variable interest the Company holds could potentially be significant to the VIE, the Company considers both qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the nature, size, and form of the Company's involvement with the VIE. See Note 916 - Subordinated DebenturesVariable Interest Entities for additional information.

Note 2 – Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
Accounting Standards Adopted in 20202021
    
In June 2016,October 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU” or “Update”) 2016-13,2020-08, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This Update replaces the incurred loss impairment model in current U.S. GAAP with a model that reflects current expected credit losses (“CECL”). The CECL model is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. CECL also requires credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities be measured through an allowance for credit losses when the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures. The Update requires that all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date be measured based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Update also requires enhanced disclosure, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures that provide additional information about significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses. The provisions of this Update became effective for the Company for all annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2020.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04,Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial InstrumentsSubtopic 310-20, Receivables - Credit Losses, Topic 815, DerivativesNonrefundable Fees and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial InstrumentsOther Costs. This Update was issued as part of an ongoing project on the FASB’s agenda for improving the Codification or correcting for its unintended application. The FASB issuedamendments included in this Update are intended to clarify that an entity should reevaluate whether a callable debt security is within the scope of paragraph 310-20-35-33 for each reporting period. The guidance in paragraph 310-20-35-33 relates to amortization of premiums on individual callable debt securities and the period over which the premium shall be amortized in relation to the date the security is specific to Updates: 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, and 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. Thecallable. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update became effective for allfiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim and annual reporting periods for the Company on January 1, 2020.within those years. The Company adopted the provisions withinCompany’s adoption of this Update in conjunction with the implementation of Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, as discussed below, including: (i) the election todid not measure credit losseshave a material impact on accrued interest receivable when such balances are written-off in a timely manner when deemed uncollectable and (ii) the election to not include the balance of accrued interest receivable as part of the amortized cost of a loan, but rather to present it separately in the consolidated statements ofits financial position.statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)—Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815. The amendments in this Update clarify the interaction of the accounting for equity securities under Topic 321 and investments under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323, as well as the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. The amendments clarify that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with Topic 321 immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. The amendments within this Update also clarify that when applying the guidance in paragraph 815-10-15-141(a) an entity should not consider whether, upon the settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, individually or with existing investments, the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method in Topic 323 or the fair value option in accordance with the financial instruments guidance in Topic 825. An entity also would evaluate the remaining characteristics in paragraph 815-10-15-141 to determine the accounting for those forward contracts and purchased options. The amendments within this Update became effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company’s adoption of this Update did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In MayDecember 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05,2019-12, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Targeted Transition Relief. This Update was issued to allow entities that have certain financial instruments withinSimplifying the scope of ASC 326-20, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Measured at Amortized CostAccounting for Income Taxes, which includes updates to makeTopic 740 - Income Taxes. The amendments to this Update include the removal of the following exceptions included in Topic 740:

(1) Exception to the general intra-period tax allocation principle when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items (for example, discontinued operations or other comprehensive income);
(2) Exception to the requirement to recognize a deferred tax liability for equity method investments when a foreign subsidiary becomes an irrevocable electionequity method investment;
(3) Exception to elect the fair value optionability not to recognize a deferred tax liability for those instrumentsa foreign subsidiary when a foreign equity method investment becomes a subsidiary; and
(4) Exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments - Overall uponan interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the adoption of ASC 326, whichanticipated loss for the Company was January 1, 2020. The fair value option is not applicable to held-to-maturity debt securities. Entities are required to make this election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The Company did not elect the fair value option for any of its financial assets upon the adoption of ASC 326 on January 1, 2020.year.

The Company has developed an expected credit loss estimation modelamendments included in accordance with ASC 326. The Company implementedthis update also require the model through a cross-functional effort steered by a CECL Committee, related sub-committees and working groups. These committees, sub-committees and working groups, collectively, were primarily comprised of senior management and staff members from our finance, credit, lending, internal audit, risk management and IT functional areas.following:

(1) Requiring that an entity recognize a franchise tax by (i) accounting for the amount based on income under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 and (ii) accounting for any residual amount as a non-income-based tax.

Depending on(2) Requiring that an entity evaluate when a step up in the naturetax basis of each identified pool of financial assets with similar risk characteristics, the Company employs the use of a probability of default (“PD”) and loss given default (“LGD”) discounted cash flow methodology for commercial real estate and commercial loans, and a loss-rate methodology for retail loans, in order to estimate expected future credit losses. The Company’s model incorporates reasonable and supportable economic forecasts into the estimate of expected credit losses, which requires significant judgment. Management leverages economic projections from a reputable and independent third party to inform its reasonable and supportable economic forecasts.
Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 326 through the applicationgoodwill should be considered part of the modified retrospective transition approach, business combination in which the book goodwill was originally recognized and recordedwhen it should be considered a net decreaseseparate transaction.
(3) Specifying that an entity is not required to allocate any portion of $45.6 million to the beginning balanceconsolidated amount of retained earnings as of January 1, 2020 for the cumulative effect adjustment, reflecting an initial adjustment to the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) of $64.0 million, net of relatedcurrent and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of $18.3 million, commonly referredexpense to as the “Day 1” adjustment. The Day 1 adjustmenta legal entity that is not subject to the ACL is reflective of expected lifetime credit losses associated with the composition oftax in its separate financial assets within in the scope of ASC 326 as of January 1, 2020, which is comprised of loans held for investment and off-balance sheet credit exposures at January 1, 2020, as well as management’s current expectation of future economic conditions. Management did not have any qualitative adjustments as of January 1, 2020. The Day 1 adjustment was comprised of $55.7 million for loans held for investment and $8.3 million for off-balance sheet commitments for a total of $64.0 million. The Day 1 adjustment to the ACL for loans held for investment consists of $16.1 million for investor loans secured by real estate, $27.6 million for business real estate secured loans, $9.5 million for commercial loans and $2.5 million for retail loans. The majority ofthe Day 1 increase in the ACL for loans held for investment is attributable primarily to the life of loan loss impact and addition ofstatements. However, an allowance on acquired loans based on the methodology discussed above and secondarily to the incorporation of reasonable and supportable economic forecasts into the estimate of expected future credit losses to our commercial real estate and commercial owner-occupied loan portfolios, which have commercial real estate as the primary collateral source and longer contractual maturities relative to our loan portfolio as a whole.  Please also see Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies, for a discussion on the Company’s accounting policy for the ACL, Note 6 - Loans Held for Investment and Note 7 - Allowance for Credit Losses, for additional information on the Company’s ACL, as well as other related disclosures.

The Company’s assessment of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale investment securities as of January 1, 2020 indicated that an ACL was not required. The Company determined the likelihood of default on held-to-maturity investment securities was remote, and the amount of expected non-repayment on those investments was zero. The Company also analyzed available-for-sale investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of January 1, 2020 and determined the decline in fair value for those securities was not related to credit, but rather related to changes in interest rates and general market conditions. As such, 0 ACL was recorded for held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities as of January 1, 2020.

In accordance with ASC 326-10-65, upon the adoption of ASC 326, the Company did not reassess purchased loans with credit deterioration (previously classified as purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans under ASC 310-30), as there were no such loans on January 1, 2020.

Additionally, there were no investment securities with previously recorded other-than-temporary impairment as of January 1, 2020.

As previously mentioned, in conjunction with the adoption of ASC 326, the Company made an accounting policy election not to measure an ACL on accrued interest receivables in accordance with ASC 326-20-30-5A. When accrued interest receivable is deemed to be uncollectable, the Company promptly reverses such balances through current period interest income in the period deemed uncollectable. Additionally, the Company has also elected not to include the balance of accrued interest receivable in the amortized cost basis of financial assets within the scope of ASC 326. Accrued interest receivable will continue to be presented separately in the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2019, the U.S. federal bank regulatory agencies approved a final rule modifying their regulatory capital rules and providing an option to phase in over a three-year period the Day 1 adverse regulatory capital effects of ASU 2016-13. Additionally, in March 2020, the U.S. federal bank regulatory agencies issued an interim final rule that provides banking organizations an option to delay the estimated CECL impact on regulatory capital for an additional two years for a total transition period of up to five years to provide regulatory relief to banking organizations to better focus on supporting lending to creditworthy households and businesses in light of recent strains on the U.S. economy as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, entities have the option to gradually phase in the full effect of CECL on regulatory capital over a five-year transition period. The Company implemented its CECL model commencing January 1, 2020 and elected to phase in the full effect of CECL on regulatory capital over the five-year transition period.

The following table illustrates the impact of the adoption of the CECL model under ASC 326 on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position as of January 1, 2020:

        In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)—Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. In response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates (“IBORs”), and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), regulators around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction-based and less susceptible to manipulation. The amendments in this Update provide optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting as well as optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this Update apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022. The amendments in this Update are elective and became effective upon issuance for all entities.

        An entity may elect to apply the amendments in this Update to eligible hedging relationships existing as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12,the enactment date.
(5) Making minor Codification improvements for tax benefits related to tax-deductible dividends on employee stock ownership plan shares and investments in qualified affordable housing projects accounted for using the equity method.

The amendments within this Update became effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and to new eligible hedging relationships entered into after the beginninginterim periods within those fiscal years. The Company’s adoption of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020. The Company does not currently engage in hedging related transactions, and as such, the amendments included in this Update did not have not had ana material impact on the Company’sits financial statements.

        In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this Update modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement.

        The following disclosure requirements for public companies were removed from Topic 820:

The amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy
The policy for timing of transfers between levels
The valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements

        The following disclosure requirements for public companies were modified in Topic 820:
The amendments clarify that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date

        The following disclosure requirements for public companies were added to Topic 820:

The changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period.
The range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, an entity may disclose other quantitative information (such as the median or arithmetic average) in lieu of the weighted average if the entity determines that other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements.

        The amendments in this Update became effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2020. This ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

        In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements. This Update provides clarification on certain aspects of an entity’s implementation of Topic 842 including those that relate to:

Determining the fair value of the underlying asset by lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers. The amendments related to this item carry forward from Topic 840 to Topic 842 an exception that allows lessors who are not manufacturers or dealers to use the cost of the underlying asset as its fair value.

Presentation on the statement of cash flows - sales-type and direct financing leases.

Transition disclosures related to Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. The amendments related to this item clarify the FASB’s original intent by explicitly providing an exception to the paragraph 250-10-50-3 interim disclosure requirements in the Topic 842 transition disclosure requirements, which would otherwise require interim disclosures after the date of adoption of Topic 842 related to the impacts of the change on: (a) income from continuing operations, (b) net income, (c) any other financial statement line item and (d) any affected per-share amounts.

The amendments included in this Update clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the worldwide transition to new reference rates (commonly referred to as the “discounting transition”).

Specifically, certain provisions in Topic 848, if elected by an entity, apply to derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. Amendments in this Update are to the expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 and capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and tailor the existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition. The amendments in this Update are effective immediately for all entities that elect to apply the optional guidance in Topic 848.

An entity may elect to apply the amendments in this Update on a full retrospective basis as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or on a prospective basis to new modifications from any date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to the date of the issuance of a final Update, up to the date that financial statements are available to be issued. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this Update on its consolidated financial statements, upon which this accounting guidance is not expected to have a material impact.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Topic 323, as well asEntity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) - Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The FASB issued this Update to address complexities associated with the accounting for certain forwardfinancial instruments that possess characteristics of liabilities and equity, and to amend guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity in an effort to reduce disparate accounting results for certain economically similar contracts. With respect to convertible instruments, this Update eliminates certain accounting models with the intent to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments and purchased optionsreduce the complexity for preparers and users of an entity’s financial statements. Convertible instruments primarily affected by this Update are those issued with beneficial conversion features or cash conversion features, because the accounting models for those specific features are removed.

Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies
 
Our accounting policies are described in Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 20192020 Form 10-K. Select policies have been reiterated below that have a particular affiliation to our interim financial statements.

Revenue Recognition. The Company accounts for certain of its revenue streams deemed to arise from contracts with customers in accordance with ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue streams within the scope of and accounted for under ASC 606 include: service charges and fees on deposit accounts, debit card interchange fees, trust administrativecustodial account fees, fees from other services the Bank provides its customers, and gains and losses from the sale of other real estate owned and property, premises and equipment. These revenue streams are included in noninterest income in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. ASC 606 requires revenue to be recognized when the Company satisfies related performance obligations by transferring to the customer a good or service. The recognition of revenue under ASC 606 requires the Company to first identify the contract with the customer, identify the performance obligations, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations, and finally recognize revenue when the performance obligations have been satisfied and the good or service has been transferred. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the transfer of goods or services to the associated customer. The majority of the Company’s contracts with customers associated with revenue streams that are within the scope of ASC 606 are considered short-term in nature and can be canceled at any time by the customer or the Bank, such as a deposit account agreement. Other more significant revenue streams for the Company such as interest income on loans and investment securities are specifically excluded from the scope of ASC 606 and are accounted for under other applicable U.S. GAAP.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill is generally determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful lifelives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events and circumstances exist that indicate the necessity for such impairment tests to be performed. The Company has a policy to test goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if events or circumstances lead management to believe the value of goodwill may be impaired. Impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level, which is considered the Company level as management has identified the Company is its sole reporting unit as of the date of the consolidated balance sheets.June 30, 2021. Management’s assessment of goodwill is performed in accordance with ASC 350-20 -Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Goodwill, which allows the Company to first consists ofperform a qualitative assessment of goodwill to determine if it is more likely than not the fair value of the Company’s equity is below its carrying value. ShouldHowever, GAAP also allows the Company, at its option, to unconditionally forego the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to a quantitative assessment. When performing a qualitative assessment of goodwill, should the results of thissuch analysis indicate it is more likely than not the fair value of the Company’s equity is below its carrying value, the Company then performs athe quantitative assessment of goodwill to determine the fair value of the reporting unit and compares it to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit is below its carrying value, the Company would then compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill to its carrying value to determinerecognize the amount of impairment as the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, limited to recognize.the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. Impairment losses are recorded as a charge to noninterest expense. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Goodwill is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on our balance sheet.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the deterioration of economic conditions as a result, the Company performed a goodwill impairment assessment as of June 30, 2020. The Company’s goodwill impairment assessment consisted of a qualitative analysis to first determine if it is more likely than not the estimated fair value of the Company exceeds its carrying value. The results of this analysis indicated no impairment of goodwill. Additionally, as part of the Company’s qualitative analysis, the Company looked at market related data as additional corroborating evidence in its assessment of whether it was more likely than not the carrying value of the Company exceeds its estimated fair value. This assessment of market related data included an initial assessment of the fair value of the Company’s equity as compared to its carrying value with the assistance from an independent third party. The assessment of market related data included factors such as: the Company’s stock price on an actual, 15-day and 30-day average basis as of June 30, 2020, and an implied 40% market participant acquisition premium, which was based upon control premiums for regional banks during the 2008 and 2009 financial crisis. This initial assessment of the fair value of the Company’s equity through observations of market related data provided additional supporting evidence as of June 30, 2020 that the carrying value of goodwill was not impaired. As of June 30, 2020, the balance of goodwill was $901.2 million.

Other intangible assets consist of core deposit intangible (“CDI”) and customer relationship intangible assets associated with PENSCO arising from whole bank acquisitions, and are amortized on either an accelerated basis, reflecting the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed or otherwise used, up, or on a straight-line amortization method over their estimated useful lives, which range from 6 to 11 years. GAAP also requires that intangible assets other than goodwill be tested for impairment when events and circumstances change, indicating that their carrying value may not be recoverable. For intangible assets other than goodwill, the Company first performs a qualitative assessment to determine if the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. A quantitative assessment is followed to determine the amount of impairment in the event the carrying value of such assets are deemed not recoverable. Impairment is measured as the amount by which their carrying value exceeds their estimated fair value.

Leases. The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASC 842, which requires the Company to record liabilities for future lease obligations as well as assets representing the right to use the underlying leased asset. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are accounted for using straight-line expense recognition with no liability orright-of-use asset being recorded for such leases. Other than short-term leases, the Company classifies its leases as either finance leases or operating leases. Leases are classified as finance leases when any of the following are met: (a) the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term, (b) the lease contains an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise, (c) the term of the lease represents a major part of the remaining life of the underlying asset, (d) the present value of the future lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset, or (e) the underling leased asset is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term due to its specialized nature. When the Company’s assessment of a lease does not meet the foregoing criteria, and the term of the lease is in excess of 12 months, the lease is classified as an operating lease.    

Liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets are determined based on the total contractual base rents for each lease, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease or at the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate if the rate is not implicit in the lease. The Company measures future base rents based on the minimum payments specified in the lease agreement, giving consideration for periodic contractual rent increases which are based on an escalation rate or a specified index. When future rent payments are based on an index, the Company uses the index rate observed at the time of lease commencement to measure future lease payments. Liabilities to make lease payments are accounted for using the interest method, which are reduced by periodic rent payments, net of interest accretion. Right-of-use assets for finance leases are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, while right-of-use assets for operating leases are amortized over the term of the lease by amounts that represent the difference between periodic straight-line lease expense and periodic interest accretion on the related liability to make lease payments. Expense recognition for finance leases is representative of the sum of periodic amortization of the associated right-of-use asset as well as the periodic interest accretion on the liability to make lease payments. Expense recognition for operating leases is recorded on a straight-line basis. As of June 30, 2020,2021, all of the Company’s leases were classified as either operating leases or short-term leases.

From time to time the Company leases portions of the space it leases to other parties through sublease transactions. Income received from these transactions is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the sublease.

Securities. The Company has established written guidelines and objectives for its investing activities. At the time of purchase, management designates the security as either held to maturity,held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or held for trading based on the Company’s investment objectives, operational needs, and intent. The investments are monitored to ensure that those activities are consistent with the established guidelines and objectives.
 
Securities Held-to-Maturity. Investments in debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost and adjusted for periodic principal payments and the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, which are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period of time remaining to investment’s maturity. 

Securities Available-for-Sale. Investments in debt securities that management has no immediate plan to sell, but which may be sold in the future, are carried at fair value. Premiums and discounts are amortized using the interest method over the remaining period to the call date for premiums or contractual maturity for discounts and, in the case of mortgage-backed securities, the estimated average life, which can fluctuate based on the anticipated prepayments on the underlying collateral of the securities. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, are recorded in a separate component of stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses on the sales of securities are determined on the specific identification method, recorded on a trade date basis based on the amortized cost basis of the specific security and are included in noninterest income as net gain (loss) on investment securities.

14


Equity Securities. Investments classified as equity securities that have readily determinable fair values are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period earnings as a component of noninterest income. Equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values are carried at cost, adjusted for any observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. Such investments are also recorded net of any previously recognized impairment. Certain equity securities the Company holds, such as investments in the stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco are carried at cost, less any previously recognized impairment. Investment in these securities is restricted to member banks and the securities are not actively traded on an exchange.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Investment Securities. The ACL on investment securities is determined for both the held-to-maturity and available-for-sale classifications of the investment portfolio in accordance with ASC 326. The ACL for held-to-maturity investment securities is recorded at the time of purchase or acquisition, representing the Company’s best estimate of current expected future credit losses as of the date for the consolidated statements of financial condition. The ACL for held-to-maturity investment securities is determined on a collective basis, based on shared risk characteristics, and is determined at the individual security level when the Company deems a security to no longer possess shared risk characteristics. For investment securities where the Company has reason to believe the credit loss exposure is remote, such as those guaranteed by the U.S. government or other government enterprises, a zero credit loss assumption is applied. For available-for-sale investment securities, the Company performs a quarterly qualitative evaluation forof securities in an unrealized loss position to determine if, for those investments in an unrealized loss position, the decline in fair value is credit related or non-credit related. In determining whether a security’s decline in fair value is credit related, the Company considers a number of factors including, but not limited to: (i) the extent to which the fair value of the investment is less than its amortized cost; (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer;issuer, (iii) downgrades in credit ratings;ratings, (iv) payment structure of the security, (v) the ability of the issuer of the security to make scheduled principal and interest payments, and (vi) general market conditions which reflect prospects for the economy as a whole, including interest rates and sector credit spreads. If it is determined that the unrealized loss can be attributed to credit loss, the Company records the amount of credit loss through a charge to provision for credit losses in current period earnings. However, the amount of credit loss recorded in current period earnings is limited to the amount of the total unrealized loss on the security, which is measured as the amount by which the security’s fair value is below its amortized cost. If it is likely the Company will be required to sell the security in an unrealized loss position, the total amount of the loss is recognized in current period earnings. Unrealized losses deemed non-credit related the Company records the loss,are recorded, net of tax, through accumulated other comprehensive income.
    
The Company determines expected credit losses on available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities through a discounted cash flow approach, using the security’s effective interest rate. However, as previously mentioned, the measurement of credit losses on available-for-sale securities only occurs when, through the Company’s qualitative assessment, it is determined all or a portion of the unrealized loss is deemed to be credit related. The Company’s discounted cash flow approach incorporates assumptions about the collectability of future cash flows. The amount of credit loss is measured as the amount by which the security’s amortized cost exceeds the present value of expected future cash flows. Credit losses on available-for-sale securities are measured on an individual basis, while credit losses on held-to-maturity securities are measured on a collective basis according to shared risk characteristics. Credit losses on held-to-maturity securities are only recognized at the individual security level when the Company determines a security no longer possesses risk characteristics similar to others in the portfolio.basis. The Company does not measure credit losses on an investment’s accrued interest receivable, but rather promptly reverses from current period earnings the amount of accrued interest that is no longer deemed collectable.collectible. Accrued interest receivable for investment securities is included in accrued interest receivable balances in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

Loans Held for Investment. Loans held for investment are loans the Company has the ability and intent to hold until their maturity. These loans are carried at amortized cost, including discounts and premiums on purchased and acquired loans, and net deferred loan origination fees and costs. Purchase discounts and premiums and net deferred loan origination fees and costs on loans are accreted or amortized as an adjustment of yield, using the interest method, over the expected lives of the loans. Income recognition of deferred loan fees, deferred loan costs, discounts and costspremiums is discontinued for loans that are placed on nonaccrual. Any remaining discounts, premiums, deferred loan fees or costs, and prepayment fees associated with loans that payoffloan payoffs prior to contractual maturity are included in loan interest income in the period of payoff. Loan commitment fees received to originate or purchase a loan are deferred and, if the commitment is exercised, recognized over the life of the loan using the interest method as an adjustment of yield or, if the commitment expires unexercised, recognized as income upon expiration of the commitment. 

The Company accrues interest on loans using the interest method and only if deemed collectible. Loans for which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as nonaccrual loans. The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more based on the contractual terms of the loan or when, in the opinion of management, there is reasonable doubt as to collection of principal and or interest. When loans are placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collectedand uncollected interest is promptly reversed against current period interest income, and as such an ACL for accrued interest receivable is not established. Interest income generally is not recognized on nonaccrual loans unless the likelihood of further loss is remote. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied as a reduction to the loan principal balance. Interest accruals are resumed on such loans only when they are brought current with respect to interest and principal and when, in the judgment of management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to all principal and interest.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans. The Company accounts for credit losses on loans in accordance with ASC 326, which requires the Company to record an estimate of expected lifetime credit losses for loans at the time of origination or acquisition. The ACL is maintained at a level deemed appropriate by management to provide for current expected future credit losses in the portfolio as of the date of the consolidated statements of financial condition. Estimating expected credit losses requires management to use relevant forward-looking information, including the use of reasonable and supportable forecasts. The measurement of the ACL is performed by collectively evaluating loans with similar risk characteristics. The Company measures the ACL on commercial real estate loans and commercial loans using a discounted cash flow approach, and a historical loss rate methodology is used to determine the ACL on retail loans. The Company’s discounted cash flow methodology incorporates a probability of default and loss given default model, as well as expectations of future economic conditions, using reasonable and supportable forecasts. Together, the probability of default and loss given default model with the use of reasonable and supportable forecasts generate estimates for cash flows expected and not expected to be collected over the estimated life of a loan. Estimates of future expected cash flows ultimately reflect assumptions made concerning net credit losses over the life of a loan. The use of reasonable and supportable forecasts requires significant judgment, such as selecting forecast scenarios and related scenario-weighting, as well as determining the appropriate length of the forecast horizon. Management leverages economic projections from a reputable and independent third party to inform and provide its reasonable and supportable economic forecasts. Other internal and external indicators of economic forecasts may also be considered by management when developing the forecast metrics. The Company’s ACL model reverts to long-term average loss rates for purposes of estimating expected cash flows beyond a period deemed reasonable and supportable. The Company forecasts probability of default and loss given default based on economic conditions and expected credit lossesforecast scenarios over a two-year time horizon before reverting to long-term average loss rates.rates over a period of three years. The duration of the forecast horizon, the period over which forecasts revert to long-term averages, the economic forecasts that management utilizes, as well as additional internal and external indicators of economic forecasts that management considers, may change over time depending on the nature and composition of our loan portfolio. Changes in economic forecasts, in conjunction with changes in loan specific attributes, impact a loan’s probability of default and loss given default, which can drive changes in the determination of the ACL.

Expectations of future cash flows are discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. The resulting ACL term loans represents the amount by which the loan’s amortized cost exceeds the net present value of a loan’s discounted cash flows.flows expected to be collected. The ACL for credit facilities is determined by discounting estimates for cash flows not expected to be collected. The ACL is recorded through a charge to provision for credit losses and is reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries on loans previously charged-off. It is the Company’s policy to charge-off loan balances at the time they have been deemed uncollectable.uncollectible. Please also see Note 7 - Allowance for Credit Losses, of these consolidated financial statements for additional discussion concerning the Company’s ACL methodology.methodology, including discussion concerning economic forecasts used in the determination of the ACL.

The Company’s ACL model also includes adjustments for qualitative factors, where appropriate. Since historical information (such as historical net losses and economic cycles) may not always, by itself, provide a sufficient basis for determining future expected credit losses, the Company periodically considers the need for qualitative adjustments to the ACL. Qualitative adjustments may be related to and include, but not limited to factors such as: (i) management’s assessment of economic forecasts used in the model and how those forecasts align with management’s overall evaluation of current and expected economic conditions, (ii) organization specific risks such as credit concentrations, collateral specific risks, regulatory risks, and external factors that may ultimately impact credit quality, (iii) potential model limitations such as limitations identified through back-testing, and other limitations associated with factors such as underwriting changes, acquisition of new portfolios and changes in portfolio segmentation, and (iv) management’s overall assessment of the adequacy of the ACL, including an assessment of model data inputs used to determine the ACL.

The Company has a credit portfolio review process designed to detect problem loans. Problem loans are typically those of a substandard or worse internal risk grade, and may consist of loans on nonaccrual status, troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), loans where the likelihood of foreclosure on underlying collateral has increased, collateral dependent loans and other loans where concern or doubt over the ultimate collectability of all contractual amounts due has become elevated. Such loans may, in the opinion of management, be deemed to no longer possess risk characteristics similar to other loans in the loan portfolio, and as such may require individual evaluation to determine an appropriate ACL for the loan. When a loan is individually evaluated, the Company typically measures the expected credit loss for the loan based on a discounted cash flow approach, unless the loan has been deemed collateral dependent. Collateral dependent loans are loans where the repayment of the loan is expected to come from the operation of and/or eventual liquidation of the underlying collateral. The ACL for collateral dependent loans is determined using estimates for the expected fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell.

Although management uses the best information available to derive estimates necessary to measure an appropriate level of ACL, future adjustments to the ACL may be necessary due to economic, operating, regulatory, and other conditions that may extend beyond the Company’s control.

Various Additionally, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s ACL and credit review process. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowanceACL based on judgments different from those of management.

The Company has segmented the loan portfolio according to loans that share similar attributes and risk characteristics. Each segment possesses varying degrees of risk based on, among other things, the type of loan, the type of collateral, and the sensitivity of the borrower or industry to changes in external factors such as economic conditions. These segment groupings are: investor loans secured by real estate, business loans secured loans, businessby real estate, secured loans, commercial loans, and retail loans. Within each segment grouping there are various classes of loans as disclosed below. The Company determines the ACL for loans based on this more detailed loan segmentation and classification.


17


At June 30, 2020,2021, the Company had the following detailed segmentation onsegments and classes of loans:

Investor Loans Secured by Real Estate:

Commercial real estate non-owner-occupied - Commercial real estate (“CRE”) non-owner-occupied includes loans for which the Company holds real property as collateral, but where the borrower does not occupy the underlying property. The primary risks associated with these loans include the borrower’s inability to pay, material decreases in the value of the real estate that is being held as collateral, significant increases in interest rates, changes in market rents, and vacancy of the underlying property, any of which may make the real estate loan unprofitable to the borrower, changes in market rents and vacancy of the underlying property.borrower. Real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy.

Multifamily - Multifamily loans are secured by multi-tenant (5 or more units) residential real properties. Payments on multifamily loans are dependent on the successful operation or management of the properties, and repayment of these loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.

Construction and land - We originate loans for the construction of one-to-four family and multi-familymultifamily residences and CRE properties in our primary market area. We concentrate our origination efforts on single homes and small infill multifamily and commercial projects in established neighborhoods where there is not abundant land available for development. Construction loans are considered to have higher risks due to construction completion and timing risk, and the ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, government regulation of real property, and the availability of long-term financing. Additionally, economic conditions may impact the Company’s ability to recover its investment in construction loans, as adverse economic conditions may negatively impact the real estate market, which could affect the borrower’s ability to complete and sell the project. Additionally, the fair value of the underlying collateral may fluctuate as market conditions change. We occasionally originate land loans located predominantly in California for the purpose of facilitating the ultimate construction of a home or commercial building. The primary risks include the borrower’s inability to pay and the inability of the Company to recover its investment due to a decline in the fair value of the underlying collateral.

Business Loans Secured by Real Estate:

Commercial real estate owner-occupied - CRE owner-occupied includes loans for which the Company holds real property as collateral and where the underlying property is occupied by the borrower, such as with a place of business. These loans are primarily underwritten based on the cash flows of the business and secondarily on the real estate. The primary risks associated with CRE owner-occupied loans include the borrower’s inability to pay, material decreases in the value of the real estate that is being held as collateral, and significant increases in interest rates, which may make the real estate loan unprofitable to the borrower. Real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy.

Franchise secured by real estate - Franchise real estate secured loans are business loans secured by real property occupied by franchised restaurants, generally quick-service restaurants.restaurants. These loans are primarily underwritten based on the cash flows of the business and secondarily on the real estate.

Risks associated with these loans include material decreases in the value of real estate being held as collateral, and the borrower’s inability to pay as a result of increases in interest rates or decreases in cash flow from the underlying business.

1918



Small Business Administration (“SBA”) - We are approved to originate loans under the SBA’s Preferred Lenders Program (“PLP”). The PLP lending status affords us a higher level of delegated credit autonomy, translating to a significantly shorter turnaround time from application to funding, which is critical to our marketing efforts. We originate loans nationwide under the SBA’s 7(a), SBAExpress, International Trade, and 504(a) loan programs, in conformity with SBA underwriting and documentation standards. SBA loans are similar to commercial business loans, but have additional credit enhancement provided by the U.S. Small Business Administration, for up to 85% of the loan amount for loans up to $150,000 and 75% of the loan amount for loans of more than $150,000. However, as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, the credit enhancement provided by the SBA under the 7(a) program was temporarily increased to 90% through September 30, 2021. The Company originates SBA loans with the intent to sell the guaranteed portion into the secondary market on a quarterly basis. Certain loans classified as SBA are secured by commercial real estate property. SBA loans secured by hotels are included in the segment investor loans secured by real estate, and SBA loans secured by all other forms of real estate are included in the business loans secured by real estate segment. All other SBA loans are included in the commercial loans segment below, and are secured by business assets.

Commercial Loans:

Commercial and industrial (including franchise commercial loans) (“C&I”) - Loans to businesses, secured by business assets including inventory, receivables, and machinery and equipment to businesses located generally in our primary market area.. Loan types includesinclude revolving lines orof credit, term loans, seasonal loans, and loans secured by liquid collateral such as cash deposits or marketable securities. Franchise credit facilities not secured by real estate and Home Owners’ Association (“HOA”) credit facilities are included in C&I loans. We also issue letters of credit on behalf of our customers. Risk arises primarily due to the difference between expected and actual cash flows of the borrowers. In addition, the recoverability of the Company’s investment in these loans is also dependent on other factors primarily dictated by the type of collateral securing these loans.loans, and occasionally upon other borrower assets and guarantor assets. The fair value of the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate as market conditions change. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the recovery of the Company’s investment is dependent upon the borrower’s ability to collect amounts due from its customers.

SBA Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans - Federally guaranteed loans designed to assist small and medium sized businesses through the disruptions in business brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Paycheck Protection Program is part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act that was signed into law in March 2020. The loans are designed to help businesses meet the on-going costs associated with running and maintaining a business through the COVID-19 pandemic and provide the potential for forgiveness of the loan if the borrower uses the funds for certain purposes, such maintaining employees on payroll for a specified period of time. Additionally, the PPP allows for a deferral period until the date when the amount of loan forgiveness is determined and remitted to the lender. For borrowers who do not apply for forgiveness, the loan deferral period is 10 months after the applicable forgiveness period ends.

Retail Loans:

One-to-four family - Although we do not originate, we have acquired first lien single family loans through bank acquisitions. The primary risks of one-to-four family loans include the borrower’s inability to pay, material decreases in the value of the real estate that is being held as collateral, and significant increases in interest rates, which may make loans unprofitable to the borrower.

Consumer loans - In addition to consumer loans acquired through our various bank acquisitions, we originate a limited number of consumer loans, generally for banking clients, only, which consist primarily of home equity lines of credit, savings account secured loans, and auto loans. Repayment of these loans is dependent on the borrower’s ability to pay and the fair value of the underlying collateral.


2019


Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”). From time-to-time,time to time, the Company makes modifications to certain loans when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. These modifications are made to alleviate temporary impairments in the borrower’s financial condition and/or constraints on the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, and to minimize potential losses to the Company. Modifications typically include: changes in the amortization terms of the loan, reductions in interest rates, acceptance of interest only payments, and, in limited cases, concessionsreductions to the outstanding loan balance. Such loans are typically placed on nonaccrual status and are returned to accrual status when all contractual amounts past due have been brought current, and the loan has performedborrower’s performance under the modified terms of the loan agreement for a period of at least six months and the ultimate collectability of all contractual amounts due under the modified terms of the loan agreement is no longer in doubt. The Company typically measures the ACL for TDRs on an individual basis when the loans are deemed to no longer share similar risk characteristics with other loans in the portfolio. The determination of the ACL for TDRs is based on a discounted cash flow approach for both those measured collectively and individually, unless the loan is deemed collateral dependent, which requires measurement of the ACL based on the estimated expected fair value of the underlying collateral, less costcosts to sell.

The CARES Act, signed into law on March 27, 2020, permits financial institutions to suspend requirements under GAAP for loan modifications to borrowers affected by COVID-19 that would otherwise be characterized as TDRs and suspend any determination related thereto if (i) the loan modification is made between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of December 31, 2020 or 60 days after the end of the coronavirus emergency declaration and (ii) the applicable loan was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. The Consolidated Appropriations Act (“CAA”), signed into law on December 27, 2020, extends the applicable period to include modification to loans held by financial institutions executed between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of (i) January 1, 2022, or (ii) 60 days after the date of termination of the COVID-19 national emergency. The Company has elected to apply this guidance to certain qualifying loan modifications. For such modifications, in the form of payment deferrals, the delinquency status will not advance and loans that were accruing at the time that the relief is provided will generally not be placed on nonaccrual status during the deferral period. Interest income will continue to be recognized over the contractual life of the loan. However, the Company, through its credit portfolio management activities, continues to monitor facts and circumstances associated with the underlying credit quality of loans modified under the provisions of the CARES Act in an effort to identify any loans where the accrual of interest during the modification period is no longer appropriate. In such cases, the Company ceases the accrual of interest and all previously accrued and uncollected interest is promptly reversed against current period interest income. For additional information, see Note 6 - LonsLoans Held for Investment.

Acquired Loans. Loans acquiredWhen the Company acquires loans through a purchase or a business combination, are recorded at their fair value at the acquisition date. The Company performs an assessment of acquired loansis first performed to first determine if such loans have experienced more than insignificant deterioration in credit quality since their origination and thus should be classified and accounted for as purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans. For loans that have not experienced more than insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination, referred toor otherwise classified as non-PCD loans. All acquired loans the Company records such loansare recorded at their fair value as of the date of acquisition, with any resulting discount or premium accreted or amortized into interest income over the remaining life of the loan using the interest method. Additionally, upon the purchase or acquisition of non-PCD loans, the Company measures and records an ACL based on the Company’s methodology for determining the ACL. The ACL for non-PCD loans is recorded through a charge to the provision for credit losses in the period in which the loans were purchased or acquired.

Acquired loans that are classified as PCD are acquired at fair value, which includes any resulting premiums or discounts. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the loan using the interest method. Unlike non-PCD loans, the initial ACL for PCD loans is established through an adjustment to the acquired loan balance and not through a charge to the provision for credit losses in the period in which the loans were acquired. The ACL for PCD loans is determined with the use of the Company’s ACL methodology. Characteristics of PCD loans include: delinquency, downgrade in credit quality since origination, loans on nonaccrual status, and/or other factors the Company may become aware of through its initial analysis of acquired loans that may indicate there has been more than insignificant deterioration in credit quality since a loan’s origination. Subsequent to acquisition, the ACL for both non-PCD and PCD loans are measured with the use of the Company’s ACL methodology in the same manner as all other loans.

20


In connection with the Opus acquisition on June 1, 2020, the Company acquired PCD loans with an aggregate fair value of approximately $841.2 million, and recorded aan ACL of approximately $21.2 million, which was added to the amortized cost of the loans.loans on the date of acquisition.

Subsequent to acquisition, the ACL for both non-PCD and PCD loans are determined with the use of the Company’s ACL methodology in the same manner as all other loans.


21


Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”). Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are recorded at fair value, less cost to sell, with any excess of the loan’s amortized cost balance over the fair value of the property recorded as a charge against the ACL. The Company obtains an appraisal and/or market valuation on all other real estate owned at the time of possession. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management. Any subsequent declines in fair value are recorded as a charge to non-interest expense in current period earnings with a corresponding write-down to the asset. All legal fees and direct costs, including foreclosure and other related costs, are expensed as incurred.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 4 – Acquisitions

Acquisition of Opus

Effective as of June 1, 2020, the Corporation completed the acquisition of Opus, a California-chartered state bank headquartered in Irvine, California, pursuant to a definitive agreement dated as of January 31, 2020. At closing, Opus had $8.32 billion in total assets, $5.94 billion in gross loans, and $6.91 billion in total deposits and operated 46 banking offices located throughout California, Washington, Oregon, and Arizona. As a result of the Opus acquisition, the Corporation acquired specialty lines of business, including trust and escrow services.

Prior to the Opus acquisition, PENSCO Trust Company LLC, a Colorado-chartered non-depository trust company (“PENSCO”), operated as an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Opus and served as a custodian for self-directed IRAs,individual retirement accounts (“IRA”), the funds of which account owners used for self-directed investments in various alternative asset classes. Immediately following the Opus acquisition, PENSCO merged with and into the Bank and operates its custodial business under the name of Pacific Premier Trust, as a division of the Bank. As of May 31, 2020, PENSCO had approximately $14.48 billion of custodial assets and approximately 44,000 client accounts.

Prior to the Opus acquisition, Commerce Escrow operated as a division of Opus, offering commercial escrow services and facilitating tax-deferred commercial exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). Following the acquisition of Opus, Commerce Escrow operates as a division of the Bank, which created synergies with the Company’s existing escrow deposit business.

The acquisition of Opus expandsexpanded the Company’s presence in major metropolitan markets with greater operational scale, diversifies business lines, banking products and services, as well as deposit base and clients by adding a new channel of stable, low-cost deposits and fee income from Opus’s trust and escrow businesses, improves revenue, and accelerates the Company’s ability to invest in technology solutions and increase efficiencies.

Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, the consideration paid to Opus shareholders consisted of whole shares of the Corporation’s common stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares of the Corporation’s common stock. Upon consummation of the transaction, (i) each share of Opus common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the acquisition was canceled and exchanged for the right to receive 0.900 shares of the Corporation’s common stock, with cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares at a rate of $19.31 per share, and (ii) each share of Opus Series A non-cumulative, non-voting preferred stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the acquisition was converted into and canceled in exchange for the right to receive that number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock equal to the product of (X) the number of shares of Opus common stock into which such share of Opus preferred stock iswas convertible in connection with, and as a result of, the acquisition, and (Y) 0.900, in each case, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares of the Corporation’s common stock.

The Corporation issued 34,407,403 shares, net of 165,136 shares for tax withholding from Opus equity award holders, of the Corporation’s common stock valued at $21.62 per share, which was the closing price of the Corporation’s common stock on May 29, 2020, the last trading day prior to the consummation of the acquisition, and paid cash in lieu of fractional shares. The Corporation assumed Opus’s warrants and options, which representrepresented the issuance of up to approximately 406,778 and 9,538 additional shares of the Corporation’s common stock, valued at approximately $1.8 million and $46,000, respectively, and issued substitute restricted stock units in an aggregate amount of $328,000. The value of the total transaction consideration paid amounted to approximately $749.6 million.

The Company accounted for this transaction under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires purchased assets and liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged to be recorded at their respective estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The determination of estimated fair values required management to make certain estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions at the time of the acquisition, and other future events that are highly subjective in nature and subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of acquisition as additional information relative to the closing date fair values becomes available and such information is considered final, whichever is earlier.

As of June 30, 2020, the final purchase price remains subject to final adjustments and fair value measurements remain preliminary due to the timing of the acquisition. The Company continues to review information relating to events or circumstances existing at Since the acquisition, datethe Company has made a net adjustment of $146,000 related to loans, deferred tax assets, other assets, and expects to finalizeother liabilities. In May 2021, the Company finalized its fair values analysis of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities over the next few months, but not later than one year after theassociated with this acquisition. Management anticipates that this review could result in adjustments to the acquisition date valuation amounts presented herein but does not anticipate that these adjustments, if any, would be material.

The Company determined the fair value of loans, intangible assets, investment securities, real property, leases, deposits, and borrowings with the assistance of third-party valuations.

Loans

Opus’s loan portfolio was recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. A valuation of Opus’s loan portfolio was performed by a third party as of the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 820 to assess the fair value of the loan portfolio, considering adjustments for interest rate risk, required equity return, servicing, credit, and liquidity risk. The loan portfolio was segmented into two groups: non-PCD loans and PCD loans. The non-PCD loans were pooled based on similar characteristics, such as loan type, fixed or adjustable interest rates, payment type, index rate and caps/floors, and non-accrual status. The PCD loans were valued at the loan level with similar characteristics noted above. The fair value was calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis. The discount rate utilized to analyze fair value considered the cost of funds rate, capital charge, servicing costs, and liquidity premium, mostly based on industry standards. Non-PCD

At the acquisition date, non-PCD loans and PCD loans had a fair value of $4.94 billion and $841.2 million, respectively, at the acquisition date and a contractual balance of $5.05 billion and $896.5 million, respectively. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, there was no carryover of the allowance for credit losses that had been previously recorded by Opus. The Company recorded an ACL of $75.9 million through an increase to the provision for credit losses. The initial ACL for PCD loans of $21.2 million iswas established through an adjustment to the acquired loan balance and goodwill.

Core deposit intangible

The CDI on non-maturing deposits was determined by evaluating the underlying characteristics of the deposit relationships, including customer attrition, deposit interest rates and maintenance costs, and costs of alternative funding using the discounted cash flow approach. The core deposit intangibles represent the costs saved by the Company between maintaining the existing deposits and obtaining alternative funds over the life of the deposit base.


25


Customer relationship intangible

PENSCO operated as the legal trustee for its clients to provide recurring trust services over the life of client’s trust.trust, and as a custodian for certain accounts that do not qualify as individual retirement accounts pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code. PENSCO could separately identify each of its customer relationships through the trustee agreement between each customer and PENSCO, as well as account-level specific information, and has a history and pattern of conducting business with them as their legal trustee. In the event that PENSCO (or its successor trust division within the Bank) were to merge, reorganize, get acquired, or change its name, the surviving entity will become the trustee or custodian of the IRAs provided that the surviving entity is authorized to serve in that capacity pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, such PENSCO customerclient relationships met the contractual or other legal rights criterion for identification as a recognizable intangible asset separate from goodwill. The fair value of the customer relationship intangible asset was determined by evaluatingthrough the use of an excess earnings through multiple periods using a discounted cash flow approach.model associated with the expected fee income associated with underlying client relationships.
24


Fixed maturity deposits

In determining the fair value of certificates of deposit, the cash flows of the contractual interest payments during the specific period of the certificates of deposit and scheduled principal payout were discounted to present value at market-based interest rates.

FHLB advances

The fair value of fixed rate Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”) advances was determined using a discounted cash flow approach. The cash flows of the advances were projected based on scheduled payments of the fixed rate advances, factoring in prepayment fee.fees. The cash flows were then discounted to present value using the FHLB rates as of May 29, 2020.

Subordinated debt

The fair value of subordinated debt was determined by using a discounted cash flow method using a market participant discount rate for similar instruments.

The Company incurred $41.1 million$5,000 of expenses in connection with the Opus acquisition during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared with $39.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Merger-related expenses are included in othernoninterest expense in the Company's consolidated statements of income.

The following table presents certain unaudited pro forma financial information for illustrative purposes only, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 as if Opus had been acquired on January 1, 2019.2020. This unaudited pro forma information combines the historical results of Opus with the Company’s consolidated historical results and includes certain adjustments reflecting the estimated impact of certain fair value adjustments for the respective periods. The pro forma information is not indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition occurred as of the beginning of the year prior to the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma information does not consider any changes to the provision for credit losses resulting from recording loan assets at fair value, cost savings, or business synergies. As a result, actual amounts would have differed from the unaudited pro forma information presented, and the differences could be significant.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Investment Securities

The Company accounts forreviews individual securities classified as available-for-sale to determine whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is deemed credit losses on debt securitiesrelated or due to other factors such as changes in accordance with ASC 326, which requires the Company to record an ACL on held-to-maturity investment securities at the time of purchase or acquisition. The ACL for held-to-maturity investment securities represents the Company’s current estimate of expected credit losses that may be incurred over the life of the investment.interest rates and general market conditions. An ACL on available-for-sale investment securities is recorded when the fair value of the investment is below its amortized cost and the decline in fair value has been deemed to be credit related through the Company’s qualitative assessment. Non-credit related declines in fair value of available-for-sale investment securities, which may be attributed to changes in interest rates and other market related factors, are not recorded through an ACL, but ratherACL. Such declines are recorded as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. In the event the Company is required to sell or has the intent to sell an available-for-sale security that has experienced a decline in fair value below its amortized cost, the Company writes the amortized cost of the security down to fair value in the current period.

Credit losses on held-to-maturity investment securities are recorded at the time of purchase or acquisition and when the Company has designated securities as held-to-maturity. Credit losses on held-to-maturity investment securities are representative of current expected credit losses that may be incurred over the life of the investment.

The Company determines credit losses on both available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities through the use of a discounted cash flow approach using the security’s effective interest rate. The ACL is measured as the amount by which an investment security’s amortized cost exceeds the net present value of expected future cash flows. However, the amount of credit losses for available-for-sale investment securities is limited to the amount of a security’s unrealized loss. The ACL is established through a charge to provision for credit losses in current period earnings.

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company acquired $829.9 million of available-for-sale securities in connection with the acquisition of Opus. Such securities were evaluated and it was determined that there were 0 investment securities classified as purchase credit deteriorated upon acquisition and, as a result, 0 allowance for credit losses was recorded.

The Company did not record an ACL for available-for-sale or held-to-maturity investment securities during the six months ended June 30, 2020. For available-for-sale securities where estimated fair value was below amortized cost, such declines were deemed non-credit related and recorded as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. Non-credit related decline in fair value of available-for-sale investment securities can be attributed to changes in interest rates and other market related factors. The Company did not record anhas 0 ACL for held-to maturity investment securities during the six months endedas of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 because the likelihood of non-repayment is remote. The Company has 0 ACL for available-for-sale or investment securities June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Loans Serviced for Others and Loan Securitization

The Company generally retains the servicing rights of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans sold, for which the Company records a servicing asset initially at fair value within its other assets category. Servicing assets are subsequently measured using the amortization method and amortized to noninterest income. Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based on the fair value of the assets as compared to carrying amount. At June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the servicing asset totaled $6.6$4.4 million and $7.7$5.3 million, respectively, and was included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated statement of financial condition. Servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to the carrying amount. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance, to the extent the fair value is less than the carrying amount. At June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the Company determined that no valuation allowance was necessary.
    
Opus entered into securitization sales on December 23, 2016 with the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”). The transaction involved the sale of $509 million in originated multifamily loans through a Freddie Mac-sponsored transaction. One class of Freddie Mac guaranteed structured pass-through certificates was issued and purchased entirely by Opus. In connection with the Opus acquisition, the Company's continuing involvement includes sub-servicing responsibilities, general representations and warranties, and reimbursement obligations. Servicing responsibilities on loan sales generally include obligations to collect and remit payments of principal and interest, provide foreclosure services, manage payments of taxes and insurance premiums, and otherwise administer the underlying loans. In connection with the securitization transaction, Freddie Mac was designated as the master servicer and appointed the Company to perform sub-servicing responsibilities, which generally include the servicing responsibilities described above with the exception of the servicing of foreclosed or defaulted loans. The overall management, servicing, and resolution of defaulted loans and foreclosed loans are separately designated to the special servicer, a third-party institution that is independent of the master servicer and the Company. The master servicer has the right to terminate the Company in its role as sub-servicer and direct such responsibilities accordingly.

General representations and warranties associated with loan sales and securitization sales require the Company to uphold various assertions that pertain to the underlying loans at the time of the transaction, including, but not limited to, compliance with relevant laws and regulations, absence of fraud, enforcement of liens, no environmental damages, and maintenance of relevant environmental insurance. Such representations and warranties are limited to those that do not meet the quality represented at the transaction date and do not pertain to a decline in value or future payment defaults. In circumstances where the Company breaches its representations and warranties, the Company would generally be required to cure such instances through a repurchase or substitution of the subject
loan(s).

To the extent the ultimate resolution of defaulted loans results in contractual principal and interest payments that are deficient, the Company is obligated to reimburse Freddie Mac for such amounts, not to exceed 10% of the original principal amount of the loans comprising the securitization pool at the closing date of December 23, 2016. The Company recognized a liability of $463,000 as of June 30, 2020recorded for itsCompany’s exposure to the reimbursement agreement with Freddie Mac.Mac was $448,000 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Concentration of Credit Risk
 
As of June 30, 2020,2021, the Company’s loan portfolio was primarily collateralized by various forms of real estate and business assets located predominately in California. The Company’s loan portfolio contains concentrations of credit in multifamily, real estate, commercialCRE non-owner-occupied, real estate, commercialCRE owner-occupied, real estate loans and commercial and industrialC&I business loans. The Bank maintains policies approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors (the “Bank Board”) that address these concentrations and diversifies its loan portfolio through loan originations, purchases, and sales to meet approved concentration levels. While management believes that the collateral presently securing these loans is adequate, there can be no assurances that a significant deterioration in the California real estate market or economy would not expose the Company to significantly greater credit risk.

Under applicable laws and regulations, the Bank may not make secured loans to one borrower in excess of 25% of the Bank’s unimpaired capital plus surplus and likewise in excess of 15% of the Bank’s unimpaired capital plus surplus for unsecured loans. These loans-to-one borrower limitations result in a dollar limitation of $782.4$833.2 million for secured loans and $469.5$500.0 million for unsecured loans at June 30, 2020.2021. In order to manage concentration risk, the Bank maintains a house lending limit well below these statutory maximums. At June 30, 2020,2021, the Bank’s largest aggregate outstanding balance of loans to one borrower was $124.6$177.6 million comprised of $101.5 million and $23.1 million of secured CRE non-owner-occupied and unsecured C&I credit, respectively.by multifamily properties.
 
Credit Quality and Credit Risk Management
 
The Company’s credit quality and credit risk are controlled in 2 distinct areas. The first is the loan origination process, wherein the Bank underwrites credit quality and chooses which riskstypes and levels of risk it is willing to accept. The Company maintains a comprehensive credit policy which addresses many related topics, sets forth maximum tolerances for key elements of loan risk.risk, and indicates appropriate protocols for identifying and analyzing these risk elements. The policy identifies and sets forth specific guidelines for analyzing each of the loan products the Company offers from both an individual and portfolio-wide basis. The credit policy is reviewed annually by the Bank Board. The Bank’s underwriters ensure all key risk factors are analyzed, with nearly allmost underwriting including a comprehensive global cash flow analysis of the prospective borrowers.
    
The second area is in the ongoing oversight of the loan portfolio, where existing credit risk is measured and monitored, and where performance issues are dealt with in a timely and comprehensiveappropriate fashion. Credit risk is monitored and managed within the loan portfolio by the Company’s portfolio managers based on both the credit policy and a comprehensive credit and portfolio review policy. This latter policy requires a program of financial data collection and analysis, comprehensivethorough loan reviews, property and/or business inspections, and monitoring of portfolio concentrations and trends.trends, and incorporation of current business and economic conditions. The portfolio managers also monitor borrowing bases under asset-based lines of credit, loan covenants, and other conditions associated with the Company’s business loans as a means to help identify potential credit risk. IndividualMost individual loans, excluding the homogeneous loan portfolio, are reviewed at least every two years and in most cases, more often,annually, including the assignment or confirmation of a risk grade.grade
 
Risk grades are based on a 6-grade Pass scale, along with Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful, and Loss classifications, as such classifications are defined by the regulatory agencies. The assignment of risk grades allows the Company to, among other things, identify the risk associated with each credit in the portfolio and to provide a basis for estimating credit losses inherent in the portfolio. Risk grades are reviewed regularly with the Company’s Credit and Portfolio Review Committee, and the portfolio management and risk grading process is
reviewed on an ongoing basis by an independent loan review function, as well as by regulatory agencies during scheduled examinations.

The following provides brief definitions for risk grades assigned to loans in the portfolio:
 
Pass classifications represent assets with a level of credit quality, in which no well-defined deficiency or weakness exists.
Special Mention assets do not currently expose the Bank to a sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the adverse categories, but possess correctable deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving management’s close attention.
Substandard assets are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. These assets are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. OREO acquired from foreclosure is also classified as Substandard.
Doubtful credits have all the weaknesses inherent in Substandard credits, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loss assets are those that are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets is not warranted. Amounts classified as loss are promptly charged off.

The Bank’s portfolio managers also manage loan performance risks, collections, workouts, bankruptcies, and foreclosures. A special department, whose portfolio managers have professional expertise in these areas, typically handles or advises on these types of matters. Loan performance risks are mitigated by our portfolio managers acting promptly and assertively to address problem credits when they are identified. Collection efforts commence immediately upon non-payment, and the portfolio managers seek to promptly determine the appropriate steps to minimize the Company’s risk of loss. When foreclosure will maximize the Company’s recovery for a non-performing loan, the portfolio managers will take appropriate action to initiate the foreclosure process.
 
When a loan is graded as special mention, substandard, or doubtful, the Company obtains an updated valuation of the underlying collateral. If, through the Company’s credit risk management process, it is determined the ultimate repayment of a loan will come from the foreclosure upon and ultimate sale of the underlying collateral, the loan is deemed collateral dependent and evaluated individually to determine an appropriate ACL for the loan. The ACL for such loans is measured as the amount by which the fair value of the underlying collateral, less estimated costs to sell, is less than the amortized cost of the loan. The Company typically continues to obtain or confirm updated valuations of underlying collateral for special mention and classified loans on an annual or biennial basis in order to have the most current indication of fair value of the underlying collateral securing the loan. Additionally, once a loan is identified as collateral dependent, due to the likelihood of foreclosure, and repayment of the loan is expected to come from the eventual sale of the underlying collateral, an analysis of the underlying collateral is performed at least quarterly. Changes in the estimated fair value of the collateral are reflected in the lifetime ACL for the loan. Balances deemed to be uncollectable are promptly charged-off.

Individually Evaluated Loans

Beginning on January 1, 2020, the Company evaluates loans collectively for purposes of determining the ACL in accordance with ASC 326. Collective evaluation is based on aggregating loans deemed to possess similar risk characteristics. In certain instances the Company may identify loans that it believes no longer possess risk characteristics similar to other loans in the portfolio. These loans are typically identified from a substandard or worse internal risk grade, since the specific attributes and risks associated with such loans tend to become unique as the credit deteriorates. Such loans are typically nonperforming, modified through a TDR, and/or are deemed collateral dependent, where the ultimate repayment of the loan is expected to come from the operation of or eventual sale of the collateral. Loans that are deemed by management to no longer possess risk characteristics similar to other loans in the portfolio are evaluated individually for purposes of determining an appropriate lifetime ACL. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach, using the loan’s effective interest rate, for determining the ACL on individually evaluated loans, unless the loan is deemed collateral dependent, which requires evaluation based on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, less estimated costs to sell. The Company may increase or decrease the ACL for collateral dependent individually evaluated loans based on changes in the estimated expected fair value of the collateral. Changes in the ACL for all other individually evaluated loans is based substantially on the Company’s evaluation of cash flows expected to be received from such loans.

As of June 30, 2020, $34.62021, $34.4 million of loans were individually evaluated and thewith no ACL attributableattributed to such loans was $2.6 million.loans. At June 30, 2020, $13.52021, $13.1 million of individually evaluated loans were evaluated using a discounted cash flow approach and $21.1$21.3 million of individually evaluated loans were evaluated based on the underlying value of the collateral.


41


As of December 31, 2020, $29.2 million of loans were individually evaluated, and the ACL attributed to such loans totaled $126,000. At December 31, 2020, $15.2 million of individually evaluated loans were evaluated using a discounted cash flow approach and $14.0 million of individually evaluated loans were evaluated based on the underlying value of the collateral.

The Company had individually evaluated loans on nonaccrual status of $33.7$34.4 million and $29.2 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020,. respectively.

Impaired Loans

        Prior to the adoption of ASC 326 on January 1, 2020, the Company classified loans as impaired when, based on current information and events, it was probable that the Company would be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement or it was determined that the likelihood of the Company receiving all scheduled payments, including interest, when due was remote. Credit losses on impaired loans were determined separately based on the guidance in ASC 310. Beginning January 1, 2020, the Company accounts for credit losses on all loans in accordance with ASC 326, which eliminates the concept of an impaired loan within the context of determining credit losses, and requires all loans to be evaluated for credit losses collectively. Loans are only evaluated individually when they are deemed to no longer possess similar risk characteristics with other loans within the portfolio.
        Prior to the adoption of ASC 326, the Company reviewed loans for impairment when the loan was classified as substandard or worse, delinquent 90 days, determined by management to be collateral dependent, when the borrower files bankruptcy or is granted a loan modification in a TDR. Measurement of impairment was based on the loan’s expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, measured by reference to an observable market value, if one existed, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan was deemed collateral dependent. Valuation allowances were determined on a loan-by-loan basis or by aggregating loans with similar risk characteristics. Charge-offs were recorded when amounts were no longer deemed collectable.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

We sometimes modify or restructure loans when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties by making a concession to the borrower in the form of changes in the amortization terms, reductions in the interest rates, the acceptance of interest only payments, and, in limited cases, concessions to the outstanding loan balances. These loans are classified as TDR.TDRs. TDRs are loans modified for the purpose of alleviating temporary impairments to the borrower’s financial condition or cash flows. A workout plan between us and the borrower is designed to provide a bridge for borrower cash flow shortfalls in the near term. A TDR loanIn most cases, the Company initially places TDRs on nonaccrual status, and they may be returnedreturn to accrual status when the loan isloans are brought current, hashave performed in accordance with the contractual restructured terms for a time frameperiod of at least six months, and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual restructured principal and interest inpayments are no longer in doubt. At June 30, 2020,2021, there were $17.8 million loans classified as TDRs, consistedcompared with 0 TDR loans as of 1 loan of $700,000 that was over 90 days past due and on nonaccrual status. At December 31, 2019, TDRs consisted of 2 loans aggregating $3.0 million, both of which were current and on accrual status.2020. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019,2021, there were 06 loans totaling $17.8 million modified as TDRs.TDRs, which are comprised of 3 CRE owner-occupied loans and 1 C&I loan totaling $5.3 million belonging to one borrower relationship with the terms modified due to bankruptcy, and 2 franchise non-real estate secured loans totaling $12.6 million belonging to another borrower relationship with the terms modified for payment deferral. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 20202021, the 3 CRE owner-occupied loans and 2019,1 C&I loan classified as TDRs were in payment default and all TDRs were on nonaccrual status as of June 30, 2021. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, there were 0 TDRs that experienced payment defaults after modifications within the previous 12 months.

The CARES Act, signed into law on March 27, 2020, permits financial institutions to suspend requirements under GAAP for loan modifications to borrowers affected by COVID-19 that would otherwise be characterized as TDRs and suspend any determination related thereto if (i) the loan modification is made between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of December 31, 2020 or 60 days after the end of the coronavirus emergency declaration and (ii) the applicable loan was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. On April 7, 2020, federal bank regulators issued a joint interagency statement that allows lenders to conclude that a borrower is not experiencing financial difficulty if short-term (e.g., six months or less) modifications are made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant related to loans in which the borrower is less than 30 days past due on its contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. The CAA, signed into law on December 27, 2020, extends the applicable period to include modification to loans held by financial institutions executed between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of (i) January 1, 2022, or (ii) 60 days after the date of termination of the COVID-19 national emergency.


42


For COVID-19 related loan modifications in the form of payment deferrals, the delinquency status will not advance and loans that were accruing at the time that the relief is provided will generally not be placed on nonaccrual status during the deferral period. Interest income will continue to be recognized over the contractual life of the loan. TheHowever, the Company, through its credit portfolio management activities, has electedcontinued to not apply TDR classificationmonitor facts and circumstances associated with the underlying credit quality of loans modified under the provisions of the CARES Act in an effort to identify any loans where the accrual of interest during the modification period is no longer appropriate. In such cases, the Company ceases the accrual of interest and all previously accrued and uncollected interest is promptly reversed against current period interest income. At June 30, 2021, there was 1 single family residential loan for $819,000 classified as a COVID-19 related loan modifications. Asmodification under Section 4013 of the CARES Act. Additionally, as of June 30, 2021, there were no loans in-process for potential modification. At December 31, 2020, 1,461 loans with a total balance of $2.24 billion, of which 34552 loans totaling $688.4$79.5 million, were acquired in connection with the acquisitionor 0.60% of Opus, were modified due to COVID-19 hardship under the CARES Act, which represents 14.9% of total loans held for investment, as of that date.

Purchased Credit Deteriorated and Purchased Credit Impaired Loans
 
        Prior to the adoption of ASC 326, the Company accounted for PCI loans and income recognition thereof in accordance with ASC Subtopic 310-30 Receivables-Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality. PCI loans are loans that as of the date of their acquisition have experienced deterioration in credit quality between origination and acquisition and for which it was probable, at acquisition, that not all contractually required payments would be collected. Following the adoption of ASC 326 on January 1, 2020, the Company analyzesanalyzed acquired loans for more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since their origination. Such loans are classified as purchased credit deteriorated loans. Please also see Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies of these financial statements for more information concerning the accounting for PCD loans.

        Prior to the adoption of ASC 326, the Company measured the amount by which the undiscounted expected cash future flows on PCI loans exceed the estimated fair value of the loan on the date of acquisition as the “accretable yield,” representing the amount of estimated future interest income on the loan. The amount of accretable yield was re-measured at each financial reporting date, representing the difference between the remaining undiscounted expected cash flows and the current carrying value of the PCI loan. Following the adoption of ASC 326, the Company accounts for interest income on PCD loans using the interest method, whereby any purchase discounts or premiums are accreted or amortized into interest income as an adjustment of the loan’s yield. An accretable yield is not determined for PCD loans.


47


Upon the adoption of ASC 326, acquiredAcquired loans classified as PCD are recorded at an initial amortized cost, which is comprised of the purchase price of the loans (or initial fair value) and the initial ACL determined for the loans, which is added to the purchase price of the loans, and any resulting premiumdiscount or discountpremium related to factors other than credit. Subsequent changes (favorable and unfavorable) in expected cash flows are recognized immediately in net income by adjusting the related ACL.

The following table reconciles the par value, or initial amortized cost, of loans acquired in the Opus acquisition as of the date of the acquisition with the purchase price (or initial fair value of the loans):

(1) The initial gross ACL determined for PCD loans was $43.9 million as of the acquisition date. Of this amount, approximately $22.7 million relates to net uncollectable balances such as loans that were fully or partially charged off prior to acquisition. Therefore, the net impact to the ACL related to PCD loans was an increase of $21.2 million.

Nonaccrual Loans

When loans are placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is promptly reversed from earnings. Payments received on nonaccrual loans are generally applied as a reduction to the loan principal balance. If the likelihood of further loss is remote, the Company will recognize interest on a cash basis only. Loans may be returned to accruing status if the Company believes that all remaining principal and interest is fully collectible and there has been at least three months of sustained repayment performance since the loan was placed on nonaccrual.

The Company typically does not accrue interest on loans 90 days or more past due or when, in the opinion of management, there is reasonable doubt as to the timely collection of principal or interest. However, when such loans are well secured and in the process of collection, the Company may continue with the accrual ofaccruing interest. The Company had no loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing at June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020, respectively. Nonaccrual loans totaled $33.8$34.4 million at June 30, 20202021 and $8.5$29.2 million as of December 31, 2019.2020. NaN interest income was recognized on nonaccrual loans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020.

Collateral Dependent Loans

Loans that have been classified as collateral dependent are loans where substantially all repayment of the loan is expected to come from the operation of or eventual liquidation of the collateral. Collateral dependent loans are evaluated individually for purposes of determining the ACL, for each loan. The ACLwhich is determined based on the estimated fair value of the collateral. Estimates for costs to sell are included in the determination of the ACL when liquidation of the collateral is anticipated. In cases where the loan is well secured and the estimated value of the collateral exceeds the amortized cost of the loan, no ACL is recorded.

Note 7 – Allowance for Credit Losses
 
The Company accounts for credit losses on loans and unfunded loan commitments in accordance with ASC 326 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, to determine the ACL. ASC 326 requires the Company to recognize estimates for lifetime credit losses on loans and unfunded loan commitments at the time of origination or acquisition. The recognition of losses at origination or acquisition represents the Company’s best estimate of the lifetime expected credit loss associated with a loan given the facts and circumstances associated with the particular loan, and involves the use of significant management judgement and estimates, which are subject to change based on management’s on-goingongoing assessment of the credit quality of the loan portfolio and changes in economic forecasts used in the model. The Company uses a discounted cash flow model when determining estimates for the ACL for commercial real estate loans and commercial loans, which comprise the majority of the loan portfolio, and uses a historical loss rate model for retail loans. The Company also utilizes proxy loan data in its ACL model where the Company’s own historical data is not sufficiently available.

The discounted cash flow model is applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis, and for loans with similar risk characteristics, to derive estimates for the lifetime ACL for each loan. The discounted cash flow methodology relies on several significant components essential to the development of estimates for future cash flows on loans and unfunded commitments. These components consist of: (i) the estimated probability of default, (ii) the estimated loss given default, which represents the estimated severity of the loss when a loan is in default, (iii) estimates for prepayment activity on loans, and (iv) the estimated exposure to the Company at default (“EAD”). These components are also heavily influenced by changes in economic forecasts employed in the model over a reasonable and supportable period. The Company’s ACL methodology for unfunded loan commitments also includes assumptions concerning the probability an unfunded commitment will be drawn upon by the borrower. These assumptions are based on the Company’s historical experience.

The Company’s discounted cash flow ACL model for commercial real estate and commercial loans uses internally derived estimates for prepayments in determining the amount and timing of future contractual cash flows to be collected. The estimate of future cash flows also incorporates estimates for contractual amounts the Company believes may not be collected, which are based on assumptions for PD, LGD, and EAD. EAD is the estimated outstanding balance of the loan at the time of default. It is determined by the contractual payment schedule and expected payment profile of the loan, incorporating estimates for expected prepayments and future draws on revolving credit facilities. The Company discounts cash flows using the effective interest rate on the loan. The effective interest rate represents the contractual rate on the loan; adjusted for any purchase premiums, purchase discounts, and deferred fees and costs associated with the origination of the loan. The Company has made an accounting policy election to adjust the effective interest rate to take into consideration the effects of estimated prepayments. The ACL for term loans is determined by measuring the amount by which a loan’s amortized cost exceeds its discounted cash flows.flows expected to be collected. The ACL for credit facilities is determined by discounting estimates for cash flows not expected to be collected.

Probability of Default

The PD for commercialinvestor loans secured by real estate loans is based largely on a model provided by a third party, using proxy loan information. The PDs generated by this model are reflective of current and expected changes in economic conditions and conditions in the commercial real estate market, and how they are expected to impact loan level and property level attributes, and ultimately the likelihood of a default event occurring. This model also incorporates assumptions for PD at a loan’s maturity. Significant loan and property level attributes include: loan to value ratios, debt service coverage, loan size, loan vintage, and property types.


48


The PD for business loans secured by real estate and commercial loans is based on an internally developed PD rating scale that assigns PDs based on the Company’s internal risk grades for loans. This internally developed PD rating scale is based on a combination of the Company’s own historical data and observed historical data from the Company’s peers, which consist of banks that management believes align with our business profile. As credit risk grades change for these loans, in the commercial segment, the PD assigned to them also changes. As with commercialinvestor loans secured by real estate, loans, the PD for business loans secured by real estate and commercial loans is also impacted by current and expected economic conditions.

51


The Company considers loans to be in default when they are 90 days or more past due and still accruing or placed on nonaccrual status.

Loss Given Default

LGDs for commercial real estate loans are derived from a third party, using proxy loan information, and are based on loan and property level characteristics in the Company’s loan portfolio, such as: loan to values, estimated time to resolution, property size, and current and estimated future market price changes for underlying collateral. The LGD is highly dependent upon loan to value ratios, and incorporates estimates for the expense associated with managing the loan through to resolution. LGDs also incorporate an estimate for the loss severity associated with loans where the borrower fails to meet their debt obligation at maturity, such as through a balloon payment or the refinancing of the loan through another lender. External factors that have an impact on LGDs include: changes in the index for CRE Price Index,pricing, GDP growth rate, unemployment rates, and the Moody’s Baa rating corporate debt interest rate spread. LGDs are applied to each loan in the commercial real estate portfolio, and in conjunction with the PD, produce estimates for net cash flows not expected to be collected over the estimated term of the loan.

LGDs for commercial loans are also derived from a third party that has a considerable database of credit related information specific to the financial services industry and the type of loans within this segment, and is used to generate annual default information for commercial loans. These proxy LGDs are dependent upon data inputs such as: credit quality, borrower industry, region, borrower size, and debt seniority. LGDs are then applied to each loan in the commercial portfolio, and in conjunction with the PD, produce estimates for net cash flows not expected to be collected over the estimated term of the loan.

Historical Loss Rates for Retail Loans
The historical loss rate model for retail loans are derived from a third party that has a considerable database of credit related information for retail loans. Key loan level attributes and economic drivers in determining the loss rate for retail loans include FICO scores, vintage, as well as geography, unemployment rates, and changes in consumer real estate prices.

Forecasts

U.S. GAAP requires the Company to develop reasonable and supportable forecasts of future conditions, and estimate how those forecasts are expected to impact a borrower’s ability to satisfy their obligation to the Bank and the ultimate collectability of future cash flows over the life of the loan. The Company uses economic scenarios from an independent third party, Moody’s Analytics, in its estimation of a borrower’s ability to repay a loan in future periods. These scenarios are based on past events, current conditions, and the likelihood of future events occurring. These scenarios typically are comprised of: (1) a base-case scenario, (2) an upside scenario, representing slightly better economic conditions than currently experienced, and (3) a downside scenario, representing recessionary conditions. Management periodically evaluates economic scenarios and may decide that a particular economic scenario or a combination of probability-weighted economic scenarios should be used in the Company’s ACL model. The economic scenarios chosen for the model, the extent to which more than one scenario is used, and the weights that are assigned to them, are based on the Company’s estimate of the probability of each scenario occurring, which is based in part on analysis performed by an independent third-party. Economic scenarios chosen, as well as the assumptions within those scenarios, and whether to use a probability-weighted multiple scenario approach, can vary from one period to the next based on changes in current and expected economic conditions, and due to the occurrence of specific events such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The Company recognizes the non-linearity of credit losses relative to economic performance and thus the Company believes consideration of, and if appropriate under the circumstances, use of multiple probability-weighted economic scenarios is appropriate in estimating credit losses over the forecast period. This approach is based on certain assumptions. The first assumption is that no single forecast of the economy, however detailed or complex, is completely accurate over a reasonable forecast time-frame, and is subject to revisions over time. By considering multiple scenario outcomes and assigning reasonable probability weightings to them, some of the uncertainty associated with a single scenario approach, the Company believes, is mitigated.
52



As of January 1, 2020, upon the adoption of ASC 326,June 30, 2021, the Company’s ACL model used three probability-weighted scenarios representing a base-case scenario, an upside scenario, and a downside scenario. The weightings assigned to each scenario were as follows: the base-case scenario, or most likely scenario, was assigned a weighting of 40%, while the upside and downside scenarios were each assigned weightings of 30%. As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s ACL model used the same three probability weightedThese economic scenarios updated for current expected economic conditions, includinginclude the current and estimated future impact associated with the on-goingongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The Company evaluated the weightings of each economic scenario in the current period with the assistance of an independent third party,Moody's Analytics, and determined the current weightings of 40% for the base-case scenario, and 30% for each of the upside and downside scenarios appropriately reflect the likelihood of outcomes for each scenario given the current economic environment. ForThe use of three probability-weighted scenarios in the three months ended March 31, 2020,second quarter of 2021 and the weighting assigned to each scenario is consistent with the approach used in the Company’s ACL model used three probability-weighted scenarios, however the compositionat March 31, 2021 and weightings of those scenarios differed from those used in the model as of June 30, 2020 due to the rapid emergence of the of the COVID-19 pandemic in the first quarter of 2020. These scenarios included (i) a base-case scenario with a weighting of 37.5%, (ii) a critical pandemic scenario with a weighting of 30%, and (iii) a more severe down-side scenario with a weighting of 32.5%. The composition of these scenarios and their assigned weightings were determined with the assistance of an independent third party, and were reflective of the rapidly changing economic conditions, economic uncertainty and volatility in financial markets brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and the estimated likelihood of each scenario occurring as of MarchDecember 31, 2020.

The Company, with the assistance of Moody’s Analytics, currently forecasts PDs and LGDs based on economic conditionsscenarios over a two-year period, which we believe is a reasonable and supportable period. Beyond thethis point, which the Company can provide for a reasonablePDs and supportable forecast, economic variablesLGDs revert to their long-term averages. The Company has reflected this reversion over a period of three years in each of its economic scenarios used to generate the overall probability-weighted forecast. Changes in economic forecasts impact the PD, LGD, and EAD for each loan, and therefore influence the amount of future cash flows for each loan the Company does not expect to collect.

The Company derives the economic forecasts it uses in its ACL model from an independent third partyMoody's Analytics that has a large team of economists, data-basedatabase managers, and operational engineers with a long history of producing monthly economic forecasts for over 25 years.forecasts. The forecasts produced by this third partythird-party have been widely used by banks, credit unions, government agencies, and real estate developers. These economic forecasts cover all states and metropolitan areas in the Unites States, and reflect changes in economic variables such as: GDP growth, interest rates, employment rates, changes in wages, retail sales, industrial production, metrics associated with the single-family and multifamily housing markets, vacancy rates, changes in equity market prices, and energy markets.

It is important to note that the Company’s ACL model relies on multiple economic variables, which are used under several economic scenarios. Although no one economic variable can fully demonstrate the sensitivity of the ACL calculation to changes in the economic variables used in the model, the Company has identified certain economic variables that have significant influence in the Company’s model for determining the ACL.

As of June 30, 2020,2021, the Company’s ACL model incorporated the following assumptions for key economic variables in the base-case, upside, and downside scenarios:

Base-case Scenario:

CRE Price Index decreases by an approximateprice index experiences a slowing annualized rate of 16% throughdecline throughout 2021 from approximately -13% in early 2021 to approximately -4% by the remainderend of 20202021. This scenario assumes the index returns to growth in 2022 and 2023. This scenario also assumes the CRE price index returns to moderate levels of growth beginning in the first quarter of 2022, with the annualized rate of growth increasing from 2% in early 2022 to 10% by the end of 2022. Under this scenario, the CRE price index is anticipated to increase approximately 8-9% on an annualized basis in 2023.
U.S. real GDP experiences growth within a range of 6-7% on an annualized basis throughout 2021. This scenario also assumes decelerating growth in real GDP throughout 2022, from the levels estimated for 2021. Growth in real GDP for 2022 under this scenario decelerates from approximately 5% annualized in early 2022 to approximately 2% annualized by the end of 2022. This scenario assumes real GDP growth increases to approximately 2-3% in 2023.
U.S. unemployment declining from approximately 6% in early 2021 to approximately 4.5% by the end of 2021. This scenario also assumes unemployment continues to decline in 2022 from approximately 4% in early 2022 to approximately 3.5% by the end of 2022. This scenario assumes the rate of decline slowing in Q1 2021 to 8%, before returning to growth in the second quarter of 2021.
A significant decrease in real GDP of an approximate 33% annualized rate in Q2 2020, followed by an approximate 20% increase in Q3 2020 before returning to levels of marginal growth through the second quarter of 2021.
Elevated levels of U.S. unemployment reachingholds constant at approximately 14% in Q2 2020 and then declining to levels of 9% to 10% through the end of 2021.3.5% throughout 2023.

Upside Scenario:

CRE Price Index decreases by an approximateprice index experiences declines throughout 2021, with the estimated annualized rate of 15% and 6% during the third and fourth quarters of 2020, respectively, before returningdecline slowing from approximately -13% in early 2021 to growthapproximately -1% by the first quarter of 2021.
An approximate annualized decrease in real GDP of 27% in Q2 2020, followed by a 20% increase in real GDP in the third quarter of 2020, and growth of approximately 4% growth through the end of 2021. This scenario also assumes the second quarterCRE price index returns growth in 2022, with the annualized rate of 2021.
Elevated levelsgrowth increasing from 7% in early 2022 to 12% by the end of U.S. unemployment at approximately 13% for Q2 2020, followed by unemployment2022. Under this scenario, the CRE price index is anticipated to experience a decelerating annualized rate of increase from approximately 9% through the remainder of 2020, and decreasing graduallyin early 2023 to approximately 7% by the end of 2023.
U.S. real GDP experiences accelerating growth within a range of 6-10% on an annualized basis throughout 2021. This scenario also assumes decelerating growth in real GDP throughout 2022, from the levels estimated for 2021. Growth in real GDP for 2022 under this scenario decelerates from approximately 8% annualized in early 2022 to approximately 0% annualized by the end of 2022. This scenario assumes real GDP growth increases to approximately 1-2% in 2023.
U.S. unemployment declining from approximately 6.2% in early 2021 to approximately 4.0% by the end of 2021. This scenario also assumes unemployment of approximately 3% throughout all of 2022. This scenario assumes the rate of unemployment holds constant at approximately 3% throughout 2023.

Downside Scenario:

CRE Price Index decreasesprice index experiences accelerating annualized rates of decline throughout 2021. Annualized declines of approximately -13% in early 2021 and accelerating to approximately -20% by an approximatethe end of 2021. The CRE price index is estimated to experience decelerating declines throughout 2022, with the annualized rate of 25% and 26%decline slowing from approximately -24% in early 2022 to approximately -2% by the third and fourth quartersend of 2020, respectively, with2022. Under this scenario, the rateCRE price index is anticipated to experience accelerating annualized growth of decline decreasingapproximately 7% in early 2023 to 21% and 4%approximately 20% by the end of 2023.
U.S. real GDP experiences growth of approximately 6% to 10% in the first and second quartershalf of 2021, respectively, before returningfollowed by a decrease of -3% for the remainder of 2021. This scenario also assumes a return to modest annualized growth in the third quarter of 2021.
A decrease in real GDP of an approximate annualized rate of 36% inby the second quarter of 2020, followed by an increase in GDP2022, with growth of approximately 13% in2-3% for the third quarterremainder of 2020, and then declining by2022. This scenario assumes real GDP fluctuates within a range of approximately 4% in the fourth quarter of 2020, 3% in the first quarter of 2021, 1% growth in the second quarter of 2021 and growth of 5% to 6% in the remaining two quarters of 2021.2-4% throughout 2023.
Elevated levels of U.S. unemployment atincreases throughout 2021 from approximately 15% for Q2 2020, followed6% in early 2021 to approximately 8% by unemployment of approximately 11% and 12% in Q3 and Q4 2020. Unemployment is projected to remain elevated at approximately 12% through the end of 2021. This scenario also assumes unemployment remains elevated in 2022 at approximately 9%. This scenario assumes a decline in unemployment throughout 2023, from approximately 8% in early 2023 to approximately 7% at the end of 2023.

Qualitative Adjustments

The Company recognizes that historical information used as the basis for determining future expected credit losses may not always, by themselves, provide a sufficient basis for determining future expected credit losses. The Company, therefore, periodically considers the need for qualitative adjustments to the ACL. Qualitative adjustments may be related to and include, but not be limited to, factors such as: (i) management’s assessment of economic forecasts used in the model and how those forecasts align with management’s overall evaluation of current and expected economic conditions, (ii) organization specific risks such as credit concentrations, collateral specific risks, regulatory risks, and external factors that may ultimately impact credit quality, (iii) potential model limitations such as limitations identified through back-testing, and other limitations associated with factors such as underwriting changes, acquisition of new portfolios and changes in portfolio segmentation, and (iv) management’s overall assessment of the adequacy of the ACL, including an assessment of model data inputs used to determine the ACL. As of June 30, 2020,2021, qualitative adjustments included in the ACL totaled $15.0$8.0 million. These adjustments primarily relate to potential limitationscontinued uncertainty concerning the strength of the economic recovery and how it may impact certain classes of loans in the model.loan portfolio. Management determined through additional review that certain key model driversthe uneven recovery and continued government interventions, are potentially underestimating the impact of the on-goingongoing COVID-19 pandemic may have on smallcertain segments and medium sized businesses,classes of the loan portfolio, such as loans within the SBA, franchise, C&I, and may not be fully reflecting the potential for a more turbulent economic recovery.construction classifications. Management reviews the need for andan appropriate level of qualitative adjustments on a quarterly basis, and as such, the amount and allocation of qualitative adjustments may change in future periods.

The changeincrease in the ACL duringfor the three months ended June 30, 2020 of $166.8 million is reflectivewas comprised of a $150.3 million in provision for credit losses, $4.7 million in net charge-offs, and the establishment of $21.2 million in net ACL for PCD loans acquired in the Opus acquisition. The changeACL established for PCD loans was reflected as an adjustment to the acquired balance of the loans in accordance with ASC 326. The increase in the ACL for the six months ended June 30, 2020 of $246.6 million iswas reflective of a $55.7 million adjustmentaddition associated with the Company’s adoption of ASC 326 on January 1, 2020, which was recorded through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings, as well as a $175.6 million provision for credit losses, on loans, net charge-offs of $6.0 million, and the establishment of $21.2 million in net ACL for PCD loans previously mentioned. The provision for credit losses duringfor the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 includes approximately $75.9 million related to the initial ACL required for the acquisition of non-PCD loans acquired in the Opus acquisition. Underacquisition, as required by ASC 326, the Company is required to record an ACL for estimates of life-time credit losses on loans at the time of acquisition. For non-PCD loans, the initial ACL is established through a charge to provision for credit losses at the time of acquisition. However, the ACL for PCD loans is established through an adjustment to the loan’s purchase price (or initial fair value). In addition, the326. The provision for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 iswas also reflective of unfavorable changes in economic forecasts used in the Company’s ACL model, which was driven by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Allowance for Credit Losses for Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet commitments related to unfunded loans and lines of credit, which is included in other liabilities of the consolidated balance sheets.statements of financial condition. The allowance for off-balance sheet commitments was $22.0$27.4 million at June 30, 20202021, $32.8 million at March 31, 2021, and $3.3$31.1 million at December 31, 2019.2020. The changereversal of provision for credit losses of $5.4 million and $3.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, was related primarily to improving economic conditions and forecasts reflected in the Company’s ACL model.

The allowance for off-balance sheet commitments totaled $22.0 million as of June 30, 2020. The total provision for credit losses for off-balance sheet commitments was $10.4 million and $10.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The provision for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 can be attributed to several factors, including: (i) an $8.3 million increase in the first quarter of 2020 attributed to the Company’s adoption of ASC 326, (ii) a $8.6 million provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2020 related to the assumption of off-balance sheet loan commitments in the Opus acquisition, of Opusas required by ASC 326, and the initial ACL the Company was required to establish at the time of acquisition, and (iii) a $1.9 million in provision for credit losses for the first six months of 2020 related primarily to the deterioration in economic forecasts primarily in the second quarter of 2020, used in the Company’s CECLACL model. The total provision for credit losses for off-balance sheet commitments totaled $10.4 million and $10.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

The Company applies an expected credit loss estimation methodology for off-balance sheet commitments that is largely commensurate with the methodology applied to each respective segment of the loan portfolio in determining the ACL for loans held-for-investment. The loss estimation process includes assumptions for the probability that a loan will fund, as well as the expected amount of funding.utilization at default. These assumptions are based on the Company’s own historical internal loan data.

The Company’s policy is to assess goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of each year, and more frequently if events or circumstances lead management to believe the value of goodwill may be impaired. Given the recent volatility in the economy triggered by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company performed an analysis of goodwill during the second quarter of 2020 that consisted of a qualitative assessment to first determine if it is more likely than not that the carrying value of the Company exceeds its estimated fair value. The results of this analysis indicated 0 impairment of goodwill as of June 30, 2020. Additionally, as part of the Company’s qualitative analysis, the Company looked at market related data as additional corroborated evidence in its assessment of whether it was more likely than not the estimated fair value of the Company exceeds its carrying value. This assessment of market related data included an initial assessment of the fair value of the Company’s equity as compared to its carrying value with the assistance from an independent third party. The assessment of market related data included factors such as: the Company’s stock price on an actual, 15-day and 30-day average basis as of June 30, 2020, and an implied 40% market participant acquisition premium, which was based upon control premiums for regional banks during the 2008 and 2009 financial crisis. This initial assessment of the fair value of the Company’s equity through observations of market related data provided additional supporting evidence as of June 30, 2020 that the carrying value of goodwill was not impaired.

The Company had other intangible assets of $94.6$77.4 million at June 30, 2020,2021, consisting of $91.4$74.5 million in core deposit intangibles and $3.2$2.9 million in customer relationship intangibles.

In connection with the various issuances of subordinated notes, the Corporation obtained ratings from Kroll Bond Rating Agency (“KBRA”). KBRA assigned investment grade ratings of BBB+ and BBB for the Corporation’s senior unsecured debt and subordinated debt, respectively, and a deposit and senior unsecured debt rating of A- and subordinated debt of
BBB+ for the Bank. The Corporation’s and Bank’s ratings were reaffirmed in June 20202021 by KBRA following the announcement of the consummated acquisition of Opus.KBRA.

As of June 30, 2020,2021, the Corporation has two unconsolidated Delaware statutory trust subsidiaries, Heritage Oaks Capital Trust II and Santa Lucia Bancorp (CA) Capital Trust. Both are used as business trusts for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities to third party investors. The junior subordinated debt was issued in connection with the trust preferred securities offerings. The Corporation is not allowed to consolidate any trust preferred securities into the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The resulting effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements is to report the subordinated debentures as a component of the Company’s liabilities, and its ownership interest in the trusts as a component of other assets.assets on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

For additional information on the Company’s subordinated debentures, see “Note 1314 — Subordinated Debentures” to the Consolidated Financial Statementsconsolidated financial statements of the Company’s 20192020 Form 10-K. 

For regulatory capital purposes, the trust preferred securities are included in Tier 2 capital at June 30, 2020.2021. Provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 require that if a depository institution holding company exceeds $15 billion in total consolidated assets due to an acquisition, then trust preferred securities are to be excluded from Tier 1 capital beginning in the period in which the transaction occurred. During the currentsecond quarter of 2020, the Company’s acquisition of Opus resulted in total consolidated assets exceeding $15 billion; accordingly, trust preferred securities are now excluded from the Company’s Tier 1 capital. The Company and the Bank also hashave subordinated debtnotes that qualifiesqualify as Tier 2 capital. The redemption of subordinated notes totaling $25 million during the second quarter of 2021 reduced the Company’s Tier 2 capital by approximately $20 million. Following the redemption, the Company’s regulatory capital ratios continued to exceed regulatory minimums to be well-capitalized and the fully phased-in capital conservation buffer.


Note 10 – Earnings per Share
 
        In February 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Corporation’s Board of Directors reviewed the various forms of outstanding equity awards, including restricted stock and restrict stock units (“RSUs”), and approved that unvestedThe Company’s restricted stock awards will becontain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and therefore are considered participating securities. As a result of the different treatment of unvested restricted stockThe Company calculates basic and unvested RSUs, beginning in 2019,diluted earnings per common share is computed using the two-class method.

Under the two-class method, distributed and undistributed earnings allocable to participating securities are deducted from net income to determine net income allocable to common shareholders, which is then used in the numerator of both basic and diluted earnings per share calculations. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income allocable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period, excluding outstanding participating securities. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income allocable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding over the reporting period, adjusted to include the effect of potentially dilutive common shares, but excludes awards considered participating securities. The computation of diluted earnings per common share excludes the impact of the assumed exercise or issuance of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect.

The impact of stock options, which are anti-dilutive, are excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per share. The dilutive impact of these securities could be included in future computations of diluted earnings per share if the market price of the common stock increases. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and the three months ended March 31, 2021 there were no potential common shares that were anti-dilutive. As a result of incurring a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, potential common shares of 234,518 and 163,832, respectively, were excluded from diluted loss per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 11 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The fair value of an asset or liability is the exchange price that would be received to sell that asset or paid to transfer that liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction occurring in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) for such asset or liability. In estimating fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach, and/or the cost approach. Such valuation techniques are consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques include the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. ASC Topic 825 requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including both those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis and a non-recurring basis. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value are discussed below.

In accordance with accounting guidance, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, volatilities, etc.), or model-based valuation techniques where all significant assumptions are observable, either directly or indirectly, in the market.

Level 3 - Valuation is generated from model-based techniques where one or more significant inputs are not observable, either directly or indirectly, in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques may include use of matrix pricing, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.
 
Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature, and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the fair values presented. Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique. While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The Company’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Management maximizes the use of observable inputs and attempts to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value measurements. Estimated fair values are disclosed for financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. These estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market data and information about the financial instruments. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument for sale at one time, nor do they attempt to estimate the value of anticipated future

business related to the instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of these estimates.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following is a description of both the general and specific valuation methodologies used to measure financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis, as well as the general classification of these instruments pursuant to the fair value hierarchy.

Investment securitiesSecurities – Investment securities are generally valued based upon quotes obtained from independent third-party pricing services, which use evaluated pricing applications and model processes. Observable market inputs, such as, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data are considered as part of the evaluation. The inputs are related directly to the security being evaluated, or indirectly to a similarly situated security. Market assumptions and market data are utilized in the valuation models. The Company reviews the market prices provided by the third-party pricing service for reasonableness based on the Company’s understanding of the market place and credit issues related to the securities. The Company has not made any adjustments to the market quotes provided by them and, accordingly, the Company categorized its investment portfolio within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
    
Interest rate swapsRate Swaps – The Company originates a variable rate loan and enters into a variable-to-fixed interest rate swap with the customer. The Company also enters into an offsetting swap with a correspondent bank. These back-to-back swap agreements are intended to offset each other and allow the Company to originate a variable rate loan, while providing a contract for fixed interest payments for the customer. The net cash flow for the Company is equal to the interest income received from a variable rate loan originated with the customer. The fair value of these derivatives is based on a market standard discounted cash flow approach. DueThe Company incorporates credit value adjustments on derivatives to properly reflect the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements of its derivatives. The Company has determined that the observable nature of the majority of inputs used in deriving the fair value of these derivative contracts fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivative financial instruments. As a result, the valuation of derivativesinterest rate swaps is classified as Level 2.2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Equity Warrant assetsAssets – The Company acquired equity warrant assets as a result of acquisition of Opus. Opus received equity warrant assets through its lending activities as part of loan origination fees. The warrants provide the Bank the right to purchase a specific number of equity shares of the underlying company’s equity at a certain price before expiration and contain net settlement terms qualifying as derivatives under ASC Topic 815. The Company has chosen to account for equity warrants under the fair value option, an irrevocable election under which the changes to the fair value of these assets are recognized in earnings. The fair value of equity warrant assets is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and are classified as Level 3 with the fair value hierarchy due to the extent of unobservable inputs. The key assumptions used in determining the fair value include the exercise price of the warrants, valuation of the underlying entity's outstanding stock, expected term, risk-free interest rate, marketability discount for private company warrants, and price volatility.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Individually evaluatedEvaluated Loans (impaired loans prior to adoption of ASC 326) – A loan is individually evaluated for expected credit losses when it is probable that payment of interest and principal willdoes not be made in accordanceshare similar risk characteristics with the contractual terms of the loan agreement.other loans. Individually evaluated loans isare measured based on the fair value of the underlying collateral or the discounted expected future cash flows. Collateral generally consists of accounts receivable, inventory, fixed assets, real estate, and cash. The Company measures impairment on all nonaccrual loans for which it has reduced the principal balance to the value of the underlying collateral less the anticipated selling cost.

        Other Real Estate Owned – OREO is initially recorded at the fair value less estimated costs to sell at the date of transfer. This amount becomes the property’s new basis. Any fair value adjustments based on the property’s fair value less estimated costs to sell at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for credit losses.

The fair value of individually evaluated loans and other real estate owned were determined using Level 3 assumptions, and represents individually evaluated loan and other real estate owned balances for which a specific reserve has been established or on which a write down has been taken. For real estate loans, generally, the Company obtains third party appraisals (or property valuations) and/or collateral audits in conjunction with internal analysis based on historical experience on its individually evaluated loans and other real estate owned to determine fair value. In determining the net realizable value of the underlying collateral for individually evaluated loans, the Company will then discount the valuation to cover both market price fluctuations and selling costs, typically ranging from 7% to 10% of the collateral value, that the Company expected would be incurred in the event of foreclosure. In addition to the discounts taken, the Company’s calculation of net realizable value considered any other senior liens in place on the underlying collateral. For non-real estate loans, fair value of the loan’s collateral may be determined using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business.

        The Company’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Note 12 – Derivative Instruments

From time to time, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements with certain borrowers to assist them in mitigating their interest rate risk exposure associated with the loans they have with the Company. At the same time, the Company enters into identical offsetting interest rate swap agreements with another financial institution to mitigate the Company’s interest rate risk exposure associated with the swap agreements it enters into with its borrowers. At June 30, 2020,2021, the Company had over-the-counter derivative instruments and centrally-cleared derivative instruments with matched terms with an aggregate notional amount of $148.4$137.2 million and a fair value of $17.7$6.7 million compared with an aggregate notional amount of $76.3$145.2 million and a fair value of $2.1$12.1 million at December 31, 2019.2020. The fair value of these agreements are determined through a third party valuation model used by the Company’s counterparty bank, which uses observable market data such as cash LIBOR rates, prices of Eurodollar futurefutures contracts, and market swap rates. The fair values of these swaps are recorded as components of other assets and other liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.statements of financial condition. Changes in the fair value of these swaps, which occur due to changes in interest rates, are recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of income statement as a component of noninterest income.
    
Over-the-counter contracts are tailored to meet the needs of the counterparties involved and, therefore, generally contain a greater degree of credit risk and liquidity risk than centrally-cleared contracts, which have standardized terms. Although changes in the fair value of swap agreements between the Company and borrowers and the Company and other financial institutions offset each other, changes in the credit risk of these counterparties may result in a difference in the fair value of these swap agreements. Offsetting over-the-counter swap agreements the Company has with other financial institutions are collateralized with cash and investment securities, and swap agreements with borrowers are secured by the collateral arrangements for the underlying loans these borrowers have with the Company. During the six months ended June 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, there were no losses recorded on swap agreements attributable to the change in credit risk associated with a counterparty. All interest rate swap agreements entered into by the Company as of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 20192020 are free-standing derivatives and are not designated as hedging instruments.

The Company’s credit derivatives result from entering into credit risk participation agreements (“RPAs”) with a counterparty bank (Opus) during the first quarter of 2020 to accept a portion of the credit risk on interest rate swaps related to loans. RPAs provide credit protection to the financial institution should the borrower fail to perform on its interest rate swap derivative contract with the financial institution. The credit risk related to these credit derivatives is managed through the Company’s loan underwriting process. RPAs are derivative financial instruments not designated as hedging and are recorded at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized as a component of noninterest income with a corresponding offset within other assets or other liabilities. As the result of the acquisition of Opus, the RPAs were terminated in the second quarter 2020.

The Company acquired two individual equity warrant assets as a result of acquisition of the Opus. Opus received equity warrant assets through its lending activities, which were accounted for as part of loan origination fees. The warrants provide the Bank the right to purchase a specific number of equity shares of the underlying company’s equity at a certain price before expiration and contain net settlement terms qualifying as derivatives under ASC Topic 815. The Company no longer has loans associated with these borrowers. Changes in fair value are recognized as a component of noninterest income with a corresponding offset within other assets. The total fair value of the warrants held in private companies was $2.0$1.9 million in other assets as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

The two warrants expire on March 12, 2023 and July 28, 2025, respectively.

Note 13 – Balance Sheet Offsetting

Derivative financial instruments may be eligible for offset in the consolidated statements of financial condition, such as those subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or a similar agreement. Under these agreements, the Company has the right to net settle multiple contracts with the same counterparty. The Company offers an interest rate swap product to qualified customers, which are then paired with derivative contracts the Company enters into with a counterparty bank. While derivative contracts entered into with counterparty banks may be subject to enforceable master netting agreements, derivative contracts with customers may not be subject to enforceable master netting arrangements. The Company elected to account for centrally-cleared derivative contracts on a gross basis. With regard to derivative contracts not centrally cleared through a clearinghouse, regulations require collateral to be posted by the party with a net liability position. Parties to a centrally cleared over-the-counter derivative exchange daily payments that reflect the daily change in value of the derivative. These payments are commonly referred to as variation margin and are treated as settlements of derivative exposure rather than as collateral.

Note 14 – Leases

The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASC 842 which was implemented on January 1, 2019, and requires the Company to record liabilities for future lease obligations as well as assets representing the right to use the underlying leased asset. The Company’s leases primarily represent future obligations to make payments for the use of buildings or space for its operations. Liabilities to make future lease payments are recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities, while right-of-use assets are recorded in other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.statements of financial condition. At June 30, 2020,2021, all of the Company’s leases were classified as operating leases or short-term leases.

Liabilities to make future lease payments and right of useright-of-use assets are recorded for the Company’s operating leases and not short-term leases. These liabilities and right-of-use assets are determined based on the total contractual base rents for each lease, which include options to extend or renew each lease, where applicable, and where the Company believes it has an economic incentive to extend or renew the lease. Future contractual base rents are discounted using the rate implicit in the lease or using the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate if the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. For leases that contain variable lease payments, the Company assumes future lease payment escalations based on a lease payment escalation rate specified in the lease or the specified index rate observed at the time of lease commencement. Liabilities to make future lease payments are accounted for using the interest method, being reduced by periodic contractual lease payments net of periodic interest accretion. Right-of-use assets for operating leases are amortized over the term of the associated lease by amounts that represent the difference between periodic straight-line lease expense and periodic interest accretion inon the related liability to make future lease payments. Short-term leases are leases that have a term of 12 months or less at commencement. The Company recognizes expense for both operating leases and short-term leases on a straight-line basis.

The Company’s lease expense is recorded in premises and occupancy expense in the consolidated statements of income.income (loss). The following table presents the components of lease expense for the periods indicated:

The Company assumed operating leases in the acquisition of Opus on June 1, 2020. The liabilityliabilities and related right-of-use assetassets recorded for the assumption of these leases was approximately $42.5$43.3 million and $41.6$42.4 million, respectively. Right-of-use assets related to the Opus acquisition reflect unfavorable lease liability adjustments of approximately $900,000. Lease liabilities for leases assumed from Opus were measured based on the net present value of remaining future lease payments, with consideration given for options to extend or renew each lease. Remaining future lease payments were discounted at the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate on the date of acquisition.

Note 15 – Revenue Recognition

The Company earnsaccounts for revenue from a variety of sources. The Company’s principal source of revenue is interest income on loans, investment securities and other interest earning assets, while the remainder of the Company’s revenue is earned from a variety of fees, service charges, gains and losses, and other income, all of which are classified as noninterest income.

        On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contractscontracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, and all subsequent amendments that modifiedcustomers under ASC 606, which requires revenue that is derived from a contract with a customer to be recognized when the Company satisfies the related performance obligations by transferring to the customer a good or service. The majority of the Company’s contracts with customers associated with revenue streams that are within the scope of ASC 606 are considered short-term in nature and can be canceled at any time by the customer or the Company without penalty, such as a deposit account agreement. These revenue streams are included in noninterest income.

The Company’s principal source of revenue is interest income on loans, investment securities, and other interest earning assets, all of which are not within the scope of ASC 606. The remainder of the Company’s revenue is classified as noninterest income and is earned from a variety of fees, such as custodial and other fees, service charges, gains and losses, and other income.

(1) Revenues from contracts with customers accounted for under ASC 606.
(2) Revenues not within the scope of ASC 606 and accounted for under other applicable U.S. GAAP requirements.

The major revenue streams by fee type that are within the scope of ASC 606 presented in the tables above tables are described in additional detail below:

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts and Other Service Fee Income

77


Service charges on deposit accounts and other service fee income consists of periodic service charges on deposit accounts and transaction based fees such as those related to overdrafts, ATM charges, and wire transfer fees. The majority of these revenues are accounted for under ASC 606. Performance obligations for periodic service charges on deposit accounts are typically short-term in nature and are generally satisfied on a monthly basis, while performance obligations for other transaction based fees are typically satisfied at a point in time (which may consist of only a few moments to perform the service or transaction) with no further obligations on behalf of the Company to the customer. Periodic service charges are generally collected monthly directly from the customer’s deposit account, and at the end of a statement cycle, while transaction based service charges are typically collected at the time of or soon after the service is performed.

Debit Card Interchange Income

Debit card interchange fee income consists of transaction processing fees associated with customer debit card transactions processed through a payment network and are accounted for under ASC 606. These fees are earned each time a request for payment is originated by a customer debit cardholder at a merchant. In these transactions, the Company transfers funds from the debit cardholder’s account to a merchant through a payment network at the request of the debit cardholder by way of the debit card transaction. The related performance obligations are generally satisfied when the transfer of funds is complete, which is generally a point in time when the debit card transaction is processed. Debit card interchange fees are typically received and recorded as revenue on a daily basis.


78


Trust AdministrativeCustodial Account Fees

Trust administrativeCustodial account fees is a revenue stream acquired in the Opus acquisition and is governed by contracts executed with Pacific Premier Trust clients to perform maintenance and custodial services over their alternative IRA investments. Feesinvestments as well as certain accounts that do not qualify as individual retirement accounts pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code. Typically, such fees are billed and collected on a quarterly basis and recognized commensurate with completion of the performance obligations required under the contracts. At June 30, 2021, the Company had accrued fees receivable of approximately $6.9 million, which are included in other assets in the consolidated statements of financial position. The balance of accrued fees receivable is net of approximately $382,000 of allowance for credit losses on doubtful accounts. The allowance represents the Company’s estimate of credit losses on accrued fees receivable in accordance in ASC 326. The Company recorded approximately $104,000 and $131,000 in credit loss expense associated with accrued fees receivable for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The credit loss expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020, was $64,000. Credit loss expense for fees receivable is included in other expense of the Company’s consolidated statements of income (loss).
80


Escrow and exchange fees

Escrow and exchange fees is a revenue stream from the Commerce Escrow division acquired in the Opus acquisition, which are related to agreements with customers participating in escrow transactions. Transactions under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code generate exchange fees as well as escrow fees. These fees relate to services that include preparation of closing statements and custody of escrow funds. The fees are received from the sale proceeds of a relinquished property and are recognized as revenue upon closing of the escrow transaction, which is the final performance obligation.

Other Income

Other noninterest income includes other miscellaneous fees, which are accounted for under ASC 606; however, much like service charges on deposit accounts, these fees have performance obligations that are very short-term in nature and are typically satisfied at a point in time. Revenue is typically recorded at the time these fees are collected, which is generally upon the completion the related transaction or service provided.

Also included in other income are escrow fees from the Commerce Escrow division acquired in the Opus acquisition, which are related to agreements with customers participating in escrow transactions under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). These fees relate to services that include preparation of closing statements and custody of escrow funds. The fees are received from the sale proceeds of a relinquished property to be exchanged under Section 1031 of the Code and are recognized as revenue upon closing of the escrow transaction, which is the final performance obligation. These fees totaled approximately $264,000 during the second quarter of 2020.

Other revenue streams that may be applicable to the Company include gains and losses from the sale of nonfinancial assets such as other real estate owned and property premises and equipment. The Company accounts for these revenue streams in accordance with ASC 610-20, which requires the Company to look to guidance in ASC 606 in the application of certain measurement and recognition concepts. The Company records gains and losses on the sale of nonfinancial assets when control of the asset has been surrendered to the buyer, which generally occurs at a specific point in time.

Practical Expedient

The Company also employs a practical expedient with respect to contract acquisition costs, which are generally capitalized and amortized into expense. These costs relate to expenses incurred directly attributable to the efforts to obtain a contract. The practical expedient allows the Company to immediately recognize contract acquisition costs in current period earnings when these costs would have been amortized over a period of one year or less.

        At June 30, 2020, the Company did not have any material contract assets or liabilities in its consolidated financial statements related to revenue streams within the scope of ASC 606, and there were no material changes in those balances during the reporting period.

Note 16 – Variable Interest Entities

The Company is involved with variable interest entities (“VIEs”)VIEs through its loan securitization activities, affordable housing investments that qualify for the low incomelow-income housing tax credit (“LIHTC”), and trust subsidiaries, which have issued trust preferred securities. The Company evaluates its interests in these entities to determine whether they meet the definition of a VIE and whether the Company is required to consolidate these entities. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the party that has both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (ii) a variable interest that could potentially be significant to the VIE. To determine whether or not a variable interest the Company holds could potentially be significant to the VIE, the Company considers both qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the nature, size and form of the Company's involvement with the VIE. The Company has determined that its interests in these entities meet the definition of variable interests.

As of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the Company determined it was not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs and did not consolidate its interests in VIEs. The following table provides a summary of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheetstatements of financial condition and maximum loss exposures as of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 20192020 that relate to variable interests in non-consolidated VIEs.

Multifamily loan securitization

With respect to the securitization transaction with Freddie Mac discussed in Note 6 - Loans Held for Investment, the Company’s variable interests reside with the purchase of the underlying Freddie Mac-issued guaranteed, structured pass-through certificates that were held as investment securities available-for-sale at fair value as of June 30, 2020.2021. Additionally, the Company has variable interests through a reimbursement agreement executed by Freddie Mac that obligates the Company to reimburse Freddie Mac for any defaulted contractual principal and interest payments identified after the ultimate resolution of the defaulted loans. Such reimbursement obligations are not to exceed 10% of the original principal amount of the loans comprising the securitization pool.

As part of the securitization transaction, the Company released all servicing obligations and rights to Freddie Mac who was designated as the Master Servicer. Freddie Mac, inIn its capacity as Master Servicer, Freddie Mac can terminate the Company’s role as sub-servicer and direct such responsibilities accordingly. In evaluating our variable interests and continuing involvement in the VIE, we determined that we do not have the power to make significant decisions or direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE’s assets and liabilities. As sub-servicer of the loans, the Company does not have the authority to make significant decisions that influence the value of the VIE’s net assets and, therefore, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE. As a result, we determined that the VIE associated with the multifamily securitization should not be included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.


82
80


We believe that our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with the VIE associated with the securitization is the carrying value of the investment securities issued by Freddie Mac and purchased by the Company. Additionally, our maximum exposure to loss under the reimbursement agreement executed with Freddie Mac is 10% of the original principal amount of the loans comprising the securitization pool, or $50.9 million. Based upon our analysis of quantitative and qualitative data over the underlying loans included in the securitization pool, as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our reserve for estimated losses with respect to the reimbursement obligation was $463,000.$448,000.

QualifiedInvestments in qualified affordable housing project investmentspartnerships

The Company has variable interests through its affordable housing partnership investments. These investments are fundamentally designed to provide a return through the generation of income tax credits. The Company has evaluated its involvement with the low-income housing projects and determined it does not have significant influence or decision making capabilities to manage the projects, and therefore, is not the primary beneficiary, and does not consolidate these interests.

The Company’s maximum exposure to loss, exclusive of any potential realization of tax credits, is equal to the commitments invested, adjusted for amortization. The amount of unfunded commitments was included in the investments recognized as assets with a corresponding liability. The table above summarizes the amount of tax credit investments held as assets, the amount of unfunded commitments held as liabilities, and the maximum exposure to loss as of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively.

Trust preferred securities

The Company accounts for its investments in its wholly owned special purpose entities, Heritage Oaks Capital Trust II and Santa Lucia Bancorp (CA) Capital Trust, acquired through bank acquisitions, under the equity method whereby the subsidiary’s net earnings are recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of income and the investment in these entities is included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition. The Corporation is not allowed to consolidate the capital trusts as they have been formed for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities, from which the proceeds were invested in the Company’s junior subordinated debt securities and reflected in our consolidated statements of financial condition as subordinated debentures with the corresponding interest distributions reflected as interest expense in the consolidated statements of income. The capital securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the subordinated debt. The Company has entered into agreements which, taken collectively, fully and unconditionally guarantee the capital securities subject to the terms of each of the guarantees. The capital securities held by the capital trust qualify as Tier 2 capital. See Note 9 - Subordinated Debentures for additional information.

Transfers of investment securities available-for-sale to held-to-maturity

The Company reassessed classification of certain investments, and effective July 1, 2021, the Company transferred approximately $157.7 million of municipal bonds from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity securities. The transfer of these securities was accounted for at fair value. These securities had an unrealized loss of $3.2 million at the transfer date, which was reflected as a discount on the date of transfer. This discount, as well as the related unrealized loss in accumulated other comprehensive income, will be amortized into interest income as a yield adjustment through earnings over the remaining term of the securities. The amortization of the unrealized holding loss reported in accumulated other comprehensive income will offset the effect on interest income of the amortization of the discount. NaN gains or losses were recorded at the time of transfer.

GENERAL
 
This discussion should be read in conjunction with our Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 20192020 Form 10-K, plus the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 20202021 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.2021.
 
The Corporation is a California-based bank holding company incorporated in 1997 in the state of Delaware and registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (“BHCA”). Our wholly owned subsidiary, Pacific Premier Bank, is a California state-chartered commercial bank. The Bank was founded in 1983 as a state-chartered thrift and subsequently converted to a federally-chartered thrift in 1991. The Bank converted to a California-chartered commercial bank and became a member of the Federal Reserve System in March 2007. The Bank is also a member of the FHLB, which is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. As a bank holding company, the Corporation is subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Reserve. We are required to file with the Federal Reserve quarterly and annual reports and such additional information as the Federal Reserve may require pursuant to the BHCA. The Federal Reserve may conduct examinations of bank holding companies, such as the Corporation, and its subsidiaries. The Corporation is also a bank holding company within the meaning of the California Financial Code. As such, the Corporation and its subsidiaries are subject to the supervision and examination by, and may be required to file reports with, the California Department of Business Oversight-Division of Financial InstitutionsProtection and Innovation (“DBO”DFPI”).
 
A bank holding company, such as the Corporation, is required to serve as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary depository institutions and to commit resources to support such institutions in circumstances where it might not do so absent such a policy. The Federal Reserve, under the BHCA, has the authority to require a bank holding company to terminate any activity or to relinquish control of a nonbank subsidiary (other than a nonbank subsidiary of a bank) upon the Federal Reserve’s determination that such activity or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial soundness and stability of any bank subsidiary of the bank holding company.
    
As a California state-chartered commercial bank, which is a member of the Federal Reserve, the Bank is subject to supervision, periodic examination and regulation by the DBO,DFPI, the Federal Reserve, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.Bureau (“CFPB”), and the FDIC. The Bank’s deposits are insured by the FDIC through the Deposit Insurance Fund. In general terms, insurance coverage is up to $250,000 per depositor for all deposit accounts. As a result of this deposit insurance function, the FDIC also has certain supervisory authority and powers over the Bank. If, as a result of an examination of the Bank, the regulators should determine that the financial condition, capital resources, asset quality, earnings prospects, management, liquidity, or other aspects of the Bank’s operations are unsatisfactory or that the Bank or our management is violating or has violated any law or regulation, various remedies are available to the regulators. Such remedies include the power to enjoin unsafe or unsound practices, to require affirmative action to correct any conditions resulting from any violation or practice, to issue an administrative order that can be judicially enforced, to direct an increase in capital, to restrict growth, to assess civil monetary penalties, to remove officers and directors, and ultimately, to request the FDIC to terminate the Bank’s deposit insurance. As a California-chartered commercial bank, the Bank is also subject to certain provisions of California law.
 
Our corporate headquarters are located in Irvine, California.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC
    
The COVID-19 outbreak was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern by the World Health Organization on January 30, 2020 and a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. The ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic global and national health emergency has caused significant disruption in the United States and international economies and financial markets. The operations and business results of the Company have been and could continue to be materially adversely affected.

        Correspondingly, inIn early March 2020, the Company began preparing for potential disruptions and government limitations of activity in the markets in which we serve. We activated our Business Continuity Program and Pandemic Preparedness Plan, and were able to quickly execute on multiple initiatives to adjust our operations to protect the health and safety of our employees and clients. We expanded remote-access availability to ensure a greater number of employees have the capability to work from home or other remote locations without impacting our operations while continuing to provide a superior level of customer service. We also reconfigured our corporate headquarter offices and branches to promote social distancing for employees by erecting physical barriers, and we provided monthly rapid COVID-19 testing for all employees and their partners. In addition, the Company issued a Company-wide employee appreciation bonus related to the COVID-19 pandemic during the fourth quarter of 2020. Beginning April 2021, non-exempt employees will receive up to 4 hours of paid time off for COVID-19 vaccination appointments and exempt employees will receive flexibility for vaccination appointments.

Since the beginning of the crisis, we have been in close contact with our clients, assessing the level of impact on their businesses, and implementing a process to evaluate each client’s specific situation, and where appropriate, providing relief programs. We also enhanced client awareness of our digital banking offerings to ensure that we continue to provide a superior level of customer service. The Company’s branches remain open with reduced office hours and weWe have taken steps to comply with various government directives regarding social distancing and use of personal protective equipment in the work place, and we are following the guidance from the Centers of Disease Control (“CDC”) to protect our clients and employees.

During the second quarter of 2020, theThe Company continued its efforts to monitor the Bank’s loan portfolio to identify potential at-risk segments and line of credit draws for deviations from normal activity, increase the reserved allocated to these portfolios, and support our customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, including but not limited to the following:

Participated in the Small Business Administration’sAdministration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law, which authorized the SBA to guarantee $349 billion in loans under the PPP program. Loans under the PPP do not require collateral or personal guarantees and, as such, these loans are generally included within our commercial loans segment. Loans under the PPP are designed to provide assistance for small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic to help meet the costs associated with payroll, mortgage interest, rent and utilities. These loans, carrying a fixed rate of 1.00%, are 100% guaranteed by the SBA and forgiveness of the loan, by the SBA, is granted to the borrower if the borrower uses at least 75% of the funds to cover the cost of payroll. Forgiveness is also based on the small business maintaining or quickly rehiring their employees and maintaining salary levels for their employees. As the initial funding allotted for PPP loans had been fully committed in two weeks after it was opened on April 3, 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act was signed into law on April 24, 2020, which authorized an additional $310 billion for guarantees of PPP loans. (“PPP”)

We were able to quickly establish our process for participating in the SBA PPP program that enabled our clients to utilize this valuable resource beginning in April 2020. Our team has executed over 3,700 PPP loans for approximately $1.12 billion in the two rounds of the program, which has allowed us to further strengthen and deepen our client relationships, while positively impacting tens of thousands of individuals.

On In July 21, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to sellBank sold its entire $1.13 billion SBA PPP loan portfolio with an aggregate amortized cost of $1.13 billion to a seasoned and experienced non-bank lender and servicer of SBA loans. The sale closed on July 28, 2020,loans, resulting in improved balance sheet liquidity and a gain on sale of approximately of $18.9$18.9 million, net of net deferred origination fees and net purchase discounts.

Implemented a temporary loan modification program for borrowers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, including payment deferrals, fee waivers, and extensions of repayment terms.

In keeping with regulatory guidance to work with borrowers during this unprecedented situation and as outlined in the CARES Act, the Bank established a COVID-19 temporary modification program, including interest-only payments, or full payment deferrals for clients that are adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act also addressed COVID-19 related modifications and specified that such modifications made on loans that were current as of December 31, 2019 are not classified as TDRs. In accordance with interagency guidance issued in April 2020, these short-term modifications made to a borrower affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental shutdown orders, including payment deferrals, fee waivers, and extensions of repayment terms, do not need to be identified as TDRs if the loans were current at the time a modification plan was implemented. AsThe CAA, signed into law on December 27, 2020, extended the applicable period to include modification to loans held by financial institutions executed between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of (i) January 1, 2022, or (ii) 60 days after the date of termination of the COVID-19 national emergency. At June 30, 2021, there was one single family residential loan for $819,000 classified as a COVID-19 modification under Section 4013 of the CARES Act. Additionally, as of June 30, 2021, there were no loans in-process for potential modification. At December 31, 2020, 1,46152 loans with a total recorded balancetotaling $79.5 million, or 0.60% of $2.24 billion were modified due to COVID-19 hardship under the CARES Act, which represents 14.9% of the Company’s total loans held for investment, as of that date.remained within their COVID-19 modification period. Please also see Note 6 - Loans Held for Investment for additional information.

Additionally, the CARES Act provides for relief on existing and new SBA loans through the Small Business Debt Relief.Relief program. As part of the SBA Small Business Debt Relief, the SBA will automatically pay principal, interest, and fees of certain SBA loans for a period of six months for both existing loans and new loans issued prior to September 27, 2020. On December 27, 2020, the CAA authorized a second round of SBA payments on covered loans approved before March 27, 2020, for a two-month period beginning with the first payment due on the loan on or after February 1, 2021, and for an additional three-month period for certain eligible borrowers. For new loans approved beginning on February 2, 2021 and ending on September 30, 2021, the SBA will make the payments for a three-month period subject to the availability of funds. At June 30, 2020,2021, approximately 521478 loans, representing approximately $152.4$134.3 million aggregate principal amount of qualifying loans,reported balance, are eligible for this relief. The CARES Act also provides for mortgage payment relief and a foreclosure moratorium.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s business, asset valuations, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as its regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including the scope and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccine adoption rates and the effectiveness of vaccines against variants, and the actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Material adverse impacts may include all or a combination of valuation impairments on our intangible assets, investments, loans, loan servicing rights, and deferred tax assets.

        GivenWhile economic conditions have improved, the fluidity of the situation, management cannot estimate the long term impact of theongoing COVID-19 pandemic at this time. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of the Company exceeds its carrying value. The results of this analysis indicated no impairment of goodwill as of June 30, 2020. Additionally, as part of the Company’s qualitative analysis, the Company reviewed market related data as additional corroborated evidence in its assessment of whether it was more likely than not the estimated fair value of the Company exceeds its carrying value. This assessment of market related data included an initial assessment of the fair value of the Company’s equity as compared to its carrying value with the assistance from an independent third party. The assessment of market related data included factors such as: the Company’s stock price on an actual, 15-day and 30-day average basis as of June 30, 2020, and an implied 40% market participant acquisition premium, which was based upon control premiums for regional banks during the 2008 and 2009 financial crisis. This initial assessment of the fair value of the Company’s equity through observations of market related data provided additional supporting evidence as of June 30, 2020 that the carrying value of goodwill was not impaired. As of June 30, 2020, our goodwill had a balance of $901.2 million.

        The preventative measures taken by various state and local governments, as well as the U.S. government, to stem the spread and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, have contributed to furtherhas placed strain on economic conditions. Certaincertain businesses and service providers, many of which have not been able to conduct operations in their usual manner or have had to temporarily halt operations altogether. While the magnitude of the impact frommanner. Should the COVID-19 pandemic and the related preventative measures taken is uncertain and difficult to predict,persist, we anticipate the COVID-19 pandemic toit may have an impact on the following:

Loan growth and interest income - CurrentEconomic activity expanded moderately during the first six months of 2021, but macroeconomic conditions continue to exhibit weakness relative to conditions prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the first quarter of 2020. Persistent weakness in economic activity will likelymay have an impact on our borrowers, the businesses they operate and their financial condition. If we experience a protracted declinerecovery in economic activity,conditions fails to continue, our borrowers may have less demand for credit needed to invest in and expand their businesses and/or support their ongoing operations. Additionally, our borrowers may have less demand for real estate and consumer loans. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2020,Further, the Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee reducedcontinues to maintain the federal funds rate towithin a range of 0% to 0.25%. TheA potential for a reduction in future loan growth in conjunction with the decline inlower levels of interest rates willwould place pressure on the level of and yield on earnings assets, which may negatively impact our interest income.

Credit quality - Increases in unemployment, declines in consumer confidence, and a reluctance on the part of businesses to invest in and expand their operations, among other things, may result in additional weakness in economic conditions, place strain on our borrowers, and ultimately impact the credit quality of our loan portfolio. We expect this would result in increases in the level of past due, nonaccrual, and classified loans, as well as higher net charge-offs. DeteriorationWhile certain economic metrics have improved since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the first quarter of 2020, there can be no assurance the improvement in economic conditions will continue. As such, future deterioration in credit quality in conjunction with weakness in current and expectedweakened economic conditions, may require us to record additional provisions for credit losses.

CECL - On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC 326, which requires the Company to measure credit losses on certain financial assets, such as loans and debt securities, using the CECL model. The CECL model for measuring credit losses is highly dependent upon expectations of future economic conditions and requires a considerable amount ofmanagement judgment. Should a recovery in economic conditions fail to continue and the expectations concerning future economic conditions continue to deteriorate, the Company may be required to record additional provisions for credit losses.losses under the CECL model.

Impairment charges - Prolonged deteriorationShould a recovery in economic conditions will likelyfail to continue, it may adversely impact the Company’s operating results and the value of certain of our assets. As a result, the Company may be required to write-down the value of certain assets such as goodwill, intangible assets, or deferred tax assets when there is evidence to suggest their value has become impaired or will not be realizable at a future date.

The U.S. government as well as other state and local policy makers have responded to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic with actions geared to support not only the health and well-being of the public, but also consumers, businesses, and the economy as a whole. In addition, during the first quarter of 2021, the President signed into law the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“American Rescue Plan”), which provides approximately $1.9 trillion in various forms of economic stimulus and aid to individuals and state and local governments that have been affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. However, the impact and overall effectiveness of these actions is difficult to determine at this time.

The Corporation assumed Opus’s warrants and options, which representrepresented the issuance of up to approximately 406,778 and 9,538 additional shares of the Corporation’s common stock, valued at approximately $1.8 million and $46,000, respectively, and issued substitute restricted stock units in an aggregate amount of $328,000. The value of the total transaction consideration paid amounted to approximately $749.6 million. The Opus warrants assumed by the Corporation expired unexercised as of September 30, 2020 and no longer remain outstanding. The Opus options assumed by the Corporation were fully exercised during the third quarter of 2020.

As a result of the Opus acquisition, the Company acquired Opus and recorded net assets of $656.8$656.6 million. The estimatedfinal fair value of assets acquired and liabilityliabilities assumed primarily consistsconsist of the followings:following:

The client account integration and system conversion of Opus was completed in October 2020. At the same time, as a result of the Opus acquisition, the Bank consolidated 20 branch offices primarily in California, Washington, and Arizona into nearby branch offices. The consolidated branches were identified largely based on the proximity of neighboring branches, historic growth, and market opportunity to improve further the overall efficiency of operations in line with the Bank's ongoing cost reduction initiatives.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Management has established various accounting policies that govern the application of U.S. GAAP in the preparation of our financial statements. Certain accounting policies require management to make estimates and assumptions that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities as well as the Company’s results of operations; management considers these to be critical accounting policies. The estimates and assumptions management uses are based on historical experience and other factors, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material impact on the carrying value of the Company’s assets and liabilities as well as the Company’s results of operations in future reporting periods. Our significant accounting policies are described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2019 Form 10-K.

        On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 326 - Financial Instruments - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The adoption of ASC 326 changes the way the Company estimates the allowance for credit losses on certain financial assets. The adoption of ASC 326 requires the Company to measure and record current expected credit losses for financial assets within the scope of ASC 326, which for the Company, currently consist substantially of loans, unfunded loan commitments and investment securities. Measuring credit losses under the CECL framework requires a significant amount of judgment, including the incorporation of reasonable and supportable forecasts about future conditions that may ultimately impact the level of credit losses the Company may recognize. Under the CECL framework, current expected credit losses, or lifetime losses, are recorded on financial assets within the scope of ASC 326 at the time of their origination or acquisition. The Company has provided a summary of its policy for the accounting for credit losses below. Please also see Note 2 - Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements as well as Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies, of the consolidated financial statements for addition discussion on the adoption of ASC 326, as well as the Company’s policy for accounting for credit losses.

        The following provides a summary of the Company’s policy for the accounting for the allowance for credit losses under ASC 326:in our 2020 Form 10-K.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company accounts for credit losses on loans in accordance with ASC 326, which requires the Company to record an estimate of expected lifetime credit losses for loans at the time of origination or acquisition. The ACL is maintained at a level deemed appropriate by management to provide for current expected future credit losses in the portfolio as of the date of the consolidated statements of financial condition. Estimating expected credit losses requires management to use relevant forward-looking information, including the use of reasonable and supportable forecasts. The measurement of the ACL is performed by collectively evaluating loans with similar risk characteristics. The Company measures the ACL on commercial real estate loans and commercial loans using a discounted cash flow approach, and a historical loss rate methodology is used to determine the ACL on retail loans. The Company’s discounted cash flow methodology incorporates a probability of default and loss given default model, as well as expectations of future economic conditions, using reasonable and supportable forecasts. The use of reasonable and supportable forecasts require significant judgment, such as selecting forecast scenarios and related scenario-weighting, as well as determining the appropriate length of the forecast horizon. Management leverages economic projections from a reputable and independent third party to inform and provide its reasonable and supportable economic forecasts. Other internal and external indicators of economic forecasts may also be considered by management when developing the forecast metrics. The Company’s ACL model reverts to long-term average loss rates for purposes of estimating expected cash flows beyond a period deemed reasonable and supportable. The Company forecasts economic conditions and expected credit losses over a two-year time horizon before reverting to long-term average loss rates.rates over a period of three years. The duration of the forecast horizon, the period over which forecasts revert to long-term averages, the economic forecasts that management utilizes, as well as additional internal and external indicators of economic forecasts that management considers, may change over time depending on the nature and composition of our loan portfolio. Changes in economic forecasts, in conjunction with changes in loan specific attributes, impact a loan’s probability of default and loss given default, which can drive changes in the determination of the ACL.

93


Expectations of future cash flows are discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. The resulting ACL represents the amount by which the loan’s amortized cost exceeds the net present value of a loan’s discounted cash flows. The ACL is recorded through a charge to provision for credit losses and is reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries on loans previously charged-off. It is the Company’s policy to promptly charge-off loan balances at the time they have been deemed uncollectable.uncollectible. Please also see Note 7 - Allowance for Credit Losses, of the consolidated financial statements for additional discussion concerning the Company’s ACL methodology, including discussion concerning economic forecasts used in the determination of the ACL and the estimated impact of COVID-19 on current expectations of economic conditions.ACL.

90


The Company’s ACL model also includes adjustments for qualitative factors where appropriate. Since historical information (such as historical net losses and economic cycles) may not always, by themselves, provide a sufficient basis for determining future expected credit losses;losses, the Company periodically considers the need for qualitative adjustments to the ACL. Qualitative adjustments may be related to and include, but not limited to, factors such as: (i) management’s assessment of economic forecasts used in the model and how those forecasts align with management’s overall evaluation of current and expected economic conditions, (ii) organization specific risks such as credit concentrations, collateral specific risks, regulatory risks, and external factors that may ultimately impact credit quality, (iii) potential model limitations such as limitations identified through back-testing, and other limitations associated with factors such as underwriting changes, acquisition of new portfolios, changes in portfolio segmentation, and (iv) management’s overall assessment of the adequacy of the ACL, including an assessment of model data inputs used to determine the ACL.

The Company has a credit portfolio review process designed to detect problem loans. Problem loans are typically those of a substandard or worse internal risk grade, and may consist of loans on nonaccrual status, troubled debt restructurings, loans where the likelihood of foreclosure on underlying collateral has increased, collateral dependent loans, and other loans where concern or doubt over the ultimate collectability of all contractual amounts due has become elevated. Such loans may, in the opinion of management, be deemed to no longer possess risk characteristics similar to other loans in the loan portfolio, and as such, may require individual evaluation to determine an appropriate ACL for the loan. When a loan is individually evaluated, the Company typically measures the expected credit loss for the loan based on a discounted cash flow approach, unless the loan has been deemed collateral dependent. Collateral dependent loans are loans where the repayment of the loan is expected to come from the operation of and/or eventual liquidation of the underlying collateral. The ACL for collateral dependent loans is determined using estimates for the fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell.

Although management uses the best information available to derive estimates necessary to measure an appropriate level of the ACL, future adjustments to the ACL may be necessary due to economic, operating, regulatory, and other conditions that may extend beyond the Company’s control.

Various Additionally, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s ACL and loan reviewcredit risk grading process. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on judgments different from those of management.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. Upon obtaining control of the acquired entity, the Company records all identifiable assets and liabilities at their estimated fair values. Goodwill is recorded when the consideration paid for an acquired entity exceeds the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired. Changes to the acquisition date fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed may be made as adjustments to goodwill over a 12-month measurement period following the date of acquisition. Such adjustments are attributable to additional information obtained related to fair value estimates of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Certain costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred.


91


Goodwill
Goodwill assets arise from the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations and represent the excess value of the consideration paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill assets are deemed to have indefinite lives, are not subject to amortization and instead are tested for impairment at least annually. The Company’s policy is to assess goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter of each year or more frequently if events or circumstances lead management to believe the value of goodwill may be impaired. Impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level, which is considered the Corporation level as management has identified the Corporation as its sole reporting unit as of the date of the consolidated statements of financial condition. Management’s assessment of goodwill is performed in accordance with ASC 350-20 - Goodwill and Other - Goodwill, which allows the Company to first perform a qualitative assessment of goodwill to determine if it is more likely than not the fair value of the Company’s equity is below its carrying value. However, GAAP also allows the Company, at its option, to unconditionally forego the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to a quantitative assessment. When performing a qualitative assessment of goodwill, should the results of such analysis indicate it is more likely than not the fair value of the Company’s equity is below its carrying value, the Company then performs the quantitative assessment of goodwill to determine the fair value of the reporting unit and compares it to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit is below its carrying value, the Company would then recognize the amount of impairment as the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. Impairment losses are recorded as a charge to noninterest expense.

The Company is required to employ the use of significant judgment in its assessment of goodwill, both in a qualitative assessment and a quantitative assessment, if needed. Assessments of goodwill often require the use of fair value estimates, which are dependent upon various factors including estimates concerning the Company’s long term growth prospects. Imprecision in estimates can affect the estimated fair value of the reporting unit in a goodwill assessment. Additionally, various events or circumstances could have a negative effect on the estimated fair value of a reporting unit, including declines in business performance, increases in credit losses, as well as deterioration in economic or market conditions, which may result in a material impairment charge to earnings in future periods.

Acquired Loans

Loans acquiredWhen the Company acquires loans through purchase or a business combination are recorded at their fair value at the acquisition date. The Company performs an assessment of acquired loansis first performed to first determine if such loans have experienced more than insignificant deterioration in credit quality since their origination and thus should be classified and accounted for as purchased credit deteriorated loans. ForPCD loans that have not experienced more than insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination, referred toor otherwise classified as non-PCD loans. All acquired loans the Company records such loansare recorded at their fair value as of the date of acquisition, with any resulting discount or premium accreted or amortized into interest income over the remaining life of the loan using the interest method. Additionally, upon the purchase or acquisition of non-PCD loans, the Company measures and records an ACL based on the Company’s methodology for determining the ACL. The ACL for non-PCD loans is recorded through a charge to provision for credit losses in the period in which the loans were purchased or acquired.

94


Acquired loans that are classified as PCD are acquired at fair value, which includes any resulting premiums or discounts. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the loan using the interest method. Unlike non-PCD loans, the initial ACL for PCD loans is established through an adjustment to the acquired loan balance and not through a charge to provision for credit losses in the period in which the loans were acquired. The ACL for PCD loans is determined with the use of the Company’s ACL methodology, and is recorded as an adjustment to the acquired loan balance on the date of acquisition.methodology. Characteristics of PCD loans include: delinquency, downgrade in credit quality since origination, loans on nonaccrual status, loans that had been modified, and/or other factors the Company may become aware of through its initial analysis of acquired loans that may indicate there has been more than insignificant deterioration in credit quality since a loan’s origination. Subsequent to acquisition, the ACL for both non-PCD and PCD loans are determined with the use of the Company’s ACL methodology in the same manner as all other loans.

In connection with the Opus acquisition on June 1, 2020, the Company acquired PCD loans with an aggregate fair value of approximately $841.2 million, and recorded a net ACL of approximately $21.2 million, which was added to the amortized cost of the loans.

Fair Value of the Company’s ACL methodology in the same manner as all other loans.Financial Instruments

Goodwill
Goodwill assets arise from the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations and represent the excess value of the consideration paid over theWe use fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwillmeasurements to record fair value adjustments to certain financial instruments and to determine fair value disclosures. Investment securities available-for-sale, derivative instruments, and equity warrant assets are deemedfinancial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to have indefinite lives, are not subject to amortization and instead are tested for impairment at least annually. The Company’s policy is to assess goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter of each year or more frequently if events or circumstances lead management to believe the value of goodwilltime, we may be impaired. Impairment testing is performedrequired to record other financial assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis, such as collateral dependent loans that are individually evaluated and OREO. These non-recurring fair value adjustments typically involve the reporting unit level, which is considered the Company level as management has identified the Company as its sole reporting unit asapplication of the datelower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets. Please also see Note 11 -Fair Value of Financial Instruments of the consolidated balance sheets. Management’s assessmentfinancial statements for more information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the valuation methodologies used, and its impact to earnings, as well as the estimated fair value disclosures for financial instruments not recorded at fair value.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the expected future tax consequences of goodwill first consistsevents that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns using the asset liability method. In estimating future tax consequences, all expected future events other than enactments of changes in tax laws or tax rates are considered. The effect on deferred taxes of a qualitative assessmentchange in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are to determinebe recognized for temporary differences that will result in deductible amounts in future years and for tax carryforwards if, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s equity is below its carrying value. Should the results of this analysis indicate it is likely the fair value of the Company’s equity is below its carrying value, the Company performs a quantitative assessment of goodwill to determine the fair value of the reporting unit and compares it to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit is below its carrying value, the Company would then compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill to its carrying value to determine the amount of impairment to recognize. Impairment losses are recorded as a charge to noninterest expense.deferred tax assets will be realized.

The Company is required to employ the use of significant judgment in its assessment of goodwill, both in a qualitative assessment and a quantitative assessment, if needed. Assessments of goodwill often require the use of fair value estimates which are dependent upon various factors including estimates concerning the Company’s long term growth prospects. Imprecision in estimates can affect the estimated fair value of the reporting unit in a goodwill assessment. Additionally, various events or circumstances could have a negative effect on the estimated fair value of a reporting unit, including declines in business performance, increases in credit losses, as well as deterioration in economic or market conditions, which may result in a material impairment charge to earnings in future periods.

        Certain accounting policies require management to make estimates and assumptions, which have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities; management considers these to be critical accounting policies. The estimates and assumptions management uses are based on historical experience and other factors, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material impact on the carrying value of assets and liabilities at balance sheet dates and our results of operations for future reporting periods.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operational performance and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of such financial performance. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance, financial position or cash flows that exclude (or include) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated, and presented in accordance with GAAP. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures and may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that may be presented by other companies.

For periods presented below, return on average tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate this figure by excluding CDI amortization of intangible assets expense from net income and excluding the average CDIintangible assets and average goodwill from the average stockholders’ equity during the period. Management believes that the exclusion of such items from this financial measure provides useful information to gain an understanding of the operating results of our core business.

Tangible book value per share and tangible common equity to tangible assets (the “tangible common equity ratio”) are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate tangible book value per share by dividing tangible common stockholder’s equity by shares outstanding. We calculate the tangible common equity ratio by excluding the balance of intangible assets from common stockholders’ equity and dividing by period end tangible assets, which also excludeexcludes intangible assets. We believe that this information is important to shareholders as tangible equity is a measure that is consistent with the calculation of capital for bank regulatory purposes, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based ratios.

Core net interest income and core net interest margin are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP-basedGAAP based amounts. We calculate core net interest income by excluding scheduled accretion income, accelerated accretion income, premium amortization on CDs, and nonrecurring nonaccrual interest paid from net interest income. The core net interest margin is calculated as the ratio of core net interest income to average interest-earning assets. Management believes that the exclusion of such items from thisthese financial measuremeasures provides useful information to gain an understanding of the operating results of our core business.

The Company completed the acquisition of Opus effective June 1, 2020. The Company's financial statements for the second quarter of 2020 include 30 days of Opus's operations, post-merger, which impacts the comparability of the current quarter's results to prior periods.

In the second quarter of 2020,2021, we reported net lossincome of $99.1$96.3 million, or $(1.41)$1.01 per diluted share. This compares with net income of $25.7$68.7 million, or $0.43$0.72 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2020.2021. The decrease isincrease in net income was primarily due to a $135.2 million increase inrecapture of provision for credit losses of $38.5 million and a $37.6$3.0 million increase in merger-related expenses, a $11.7 million increase in noninterest expense excluding merger-related expenses, and a$7.6 million decrease in noninterest income, partially offset by a decreasean increase of $13.1 million in income tax expense, an increase of $46.1$2.0 million in noninterest expense, and a $21.1 million increasedecrease of $718,000 in net interest income. The provision recapture during the second quarter of 2021 was primarily attributable to improved economic forecasts used in the Company’s CECL model relative to prior periods and the continued strong asset quality profile of the loan portfolio.

Net lossincome of $99.1$96.3 million, or $(1.41)$1.01 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 20202021 compares to a net incomeloss for the second quarter of 20192020 of $38.5$99.1 million, or $0.62$(1.41) per diluted share. The decreaseincrease in net income of $137.6 million during the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019 was primarily due to a $160.3$199.1 million increasedecrease in provision for credit losses, a $39.3$30.6 million increase in net interest income, a $39.3 million decrease in merger-related expenses,expense, and a $12.7$19.8 million increase in noninterest income, partially offset by an increase of $75.7 million in income tax expense and $17.9 million increase in noninterest expense excluding merger-related expenses, partially offset by a $54.5expenses. The provision decrease during the second quarter of 2021 was primarily due to improved economic forecasts used in the Company’s CECL model relative to prior periods and the continued strong asset quality profile of the loan portfolio. The provision expense in the second quarter of 2020 reflected unfavorable changes in economic forecasts related to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Day 1 provision for credit losses of $84.4 million decrease in income tax expense, a $19.7 million increaseresulting from the acquisition of Opus. The year-over-year increases in net interest income and a $574,000 increasereflect the impact of the acquisition of Opus in noninterest income.the second quarter of 2020.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s return on average assets was 1.90%, return on average equity was 14.02%, and return on average tangible common equity was 22.45%. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the return on average assets was 1.37%, the return on average equity was 9.99%, and the return on average tangible common equity was 16.21%.

Net Interest Income
 
Our primary source of revenue is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest earned on loans, investment securities, and interest earning balances with financial institutions (“interest-earning assets”) and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings (“interest-bearing liabilities”). Net interest margin is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. Net interest income is affected by changes in both interest rates and the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Net interest income totaled $130.3$160.9 million in the second quarter of 2020, an increase2021, a decrease of $21.1 million,$718,000, or 19.3%0.4%, from the first quarter of 2020.2021. The increasedecrease in net interest income reflected higherlower average interest-earning assetsloan yields and fees, partially offset by one more day of $2.60 billion, primarily related to the acquisition of Opus, which added $5.81 billion of loans after purchase accounting adjustments, higher accretion income,interest and a lower cost of funds driven by a lower cost ofrates paid on deposits, and an increase in noninterest-bearing deposits, all of which was partially offset by lower average loanbalances of retail and investment yields.brokered certificates of deposit, and lower average borrowings.

The net interest margin for the second quarter of 20202021 was 3.79%3.44%, compared with 4.24%3.55% in the prior quarter. Our core net interest margin, which excludes the impact of loan accretion income of $5.8$9.5 million, compared to $4.1$9.9 million in the prior quarter, certificates of deposit mark-to-market amortization, and one-timeother adjustments, decreased 488 basis points to 3.59%3.22%, compared to 4.08%3.30% in the prior quarter, primarily attributable toquarter. The decrease was driven by lower average loan yields and investment yields,fees, partially offset by a lower cost of deposits. The lower loan yields were driven primarily by the addition of the Opus loan portfolio, the origination and retention of the SBA PPP loans, which have a coupon rate of 1%, as well as the impact of loan repricing as a result of the Federal Reserve Board's federal funds rate decrease in March 2020. The lower cost of funds was driven principally by lower rates paid on deposits and increased noninterest-bearing deposits, partially offset by the higher rates paid on Opus's deposits.funds.

Net interest income for the second quarter of 20202021 increased $19.7$30.6 million, or 17.8%23.5%, compared to the second quarter of 2019.2020. The increase was attributable to an increase in average interest-earning assets of $3.47$4.95 billion, which primarily resulted from the acquisition of Opus in the second quarter of 2020, as well as organic loan growth, including SBA PPP loans,higher investment securities balances compared with the second quarter of 2020, and a lower cost of funds, partially offset by lower average loan and investment yields.yields, and a higher average balance of deposits.

For the first six months ended 2020,2021, net interest income increased $17$83.1 million, or 8%34.7%, compared to the first six months ended 2019.2020. The increase was related to an increase in average interest-earning assets of $1.7$6.5 billion, which resulted primarily from our acquisitionsacquisition of Opus on June 1, 2020, and a lower cost of funds, partially offset by lower average loan and investment yields.

Changes in our net interest income are a function of changes in volumes,volume, days in a period, and rates of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The following tables present the impact that the volume, days in a period, and rate changes have had on our net interest income for the periods indicated. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, we have provided information on changes to our net interest income with respect to:
 
Changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate);
Changes in days in a period (changes in days in a period multiplied by daily interest; no changes in days for comparisons of the three months ended June 30, 20202021 to the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the three months ended June 30, 2019)2020);
Changes in interest rates (changes in interest rates multiplied by prior volume and includes the recognition of discounts/premiums and deferred fees/costs); and
The net change or the combined impact of volume, days in a period, and rate changes allocated proportionately to changes in volume, days in a period, and changes in interest rates.

Provision for Credit Losses

ProvisionFor the second quarter of 2021, the Bank recorded a $38.5 million provision recapture, a decrease of $40.5 million from the $2.0 million provision expense recognized during the first quarter of 2021, and a decrease of $199.1 million from the $160.6 million provision expense recognized during the second quarter of 2020. The decrease from the first quarter of 2021 was comprised of a $33.1 million provision recapture for creditloan losses and a $5.3 million provision recapture for unfunded commitments. The decrease during the second quarter of 2021 was primarily due to improved economic forecasts used in the Company’s CECL model relative to prior periods and the continued strong asset quality profile of the loan portfolio. The provision expense in the second quarter of 2020 was $160.6 million, an increase of $135.2 million from the first quarter of 2020 and an increase of $160.3 million from the second quarter of 2019. The increases, which included a $150.3 million provision for loan losses and a $10.4 million provision for unfunded commitments, was primarily driven byreflected unfavorable changes in economic forecasts employed inrelated to the Bank's CECL model andonset of the Day 1 provision for loan losses of $75.9 million and the provision for unfunded commitments of $8.6 million resulting from the acquisition of Opus. The Opus acquisition Day 1 provision of credit losses does not include $21.2 million of reserves established for the PCD loans.

Noninterest ExpenseIncome Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns using the asset liability method. In estimating future tax consequences, all expected future events other than enactments of changes in tax laws or tax rates are considered. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are to be recognized for temporary differences that will result in deductible amounts in future years and for tax carryforwards if, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operational performance and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of such financial performance. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance, financial position or cash flows that exclude (or include) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated, and presented in accordance with GAAP. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures and may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that may be presented by other companies.

For periods presented below, return on average tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate this figure by excluding amortization of intangible assets expense from net income and excluding the average intangible assets and average goodwill from the average stockholders’ equity during the period. Management believes that the exclusion of such items from this financial measure provides useful information to gain an understanding of the operating results of our core business.

Tangible book value per share and tangible common equity to tangible assets (the “tangible common equity ratio”) are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate tangible book value per share by dividing tangible common stockholder’s equity by shares outstanding. We calculate the tangible common equity ratio by excluding the balance of intangible assets from common stockholders’ equity and dividing by period end tangible assets, which also excludes intangible assets. We believe that this information is important to shareholders as tangible equity is a measure that is consistent with the calculation of capital for bank regulatory purposes, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based ratios.

For periods presented below, efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP-based amounts. This figure represents the ratio of noninterest expense less other real estate owned operations, core deposit intangible amortization, and merger-related expense to the sum of net interest income before provision for loan losses and total noninterest income, less gain/(loss) on sale of securities, other income - security recoveries on investment securities, gain/(loss) on sale of other real estate owned, and gain/(loss) from debt extinguishment. Management believes that the exclusion of such items from this financial measure provides useful information to gain an understanding of the operating results of our core business.

Core net interest income and core net interest margin are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP based amounts. We calculate core net interest income by excluding scheduled accretion income, accelerated accretion income, premium amortization on CDs, and nonrecurring nonaccrual interest paid from net interest income. The core net interest margin is calculated as the ratio of core net interest income to average interest-earning assets. Management believes that the exclusion of such items from these financial measures provides useful information to gain an understanding of the operating results of our core business.

The Company completed the acquisition of Opus effective June 1, 2020. The Company's financial statements for the second quarter of 2020 include 30 days of Opus's operations, post-merger, which impacts the comparability of the current quarter's results to prior periods.

In the second quarter of 2021, we reported net income of $96.3 million, or $1.01 per diluted share. This compares with net income of $68.7 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2021. The increase in net income was primarily due to recapture of provision for credit losses of $38.5 million and a $3.0 million increase in noninterest income, partially offset by an increase of $13.1 million in income tax expense, an increase of $2.0 million in noninterest expense, and a decrease of $718,000 in net interest income. The provision recapture during the second quarter of 2021 was primarily attributable to improved economic forecasts used in the Company’s CECL model relative to prior periods and the continued strong asset quality profile of the loan portfolio.

Net income of $96.3 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2021 compares to a net loss for the second quarter of 2020 of $99.1 million, or $(1.41) per diluted share. The increase in net income was primarily due to a $199.1 million decrease in provision for credit losses, a $30.6 million increase in net interest income, a $39.3 million decrease in merger-related expense, and a $19.8 million increase in noninterest income, partially offset by an increase of $75.7 million in income tax expense and $17.9 million increase in noninterest expense excluding merger-related expenses. The provision decrease during the second quarter of 2021 was primarily due to improved economic forecasts used in the Company’s CECL model relative to prior periods and the continued strong asset quality profile of the loan portfolio. The provision expense in the second quarter of 2020 reflected unfavorable changes in economic forecasts related to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Day 1 provision for credit losses of $84.4 million resulting from the acquisition of Opus. The year-over-year increases in net income reflect the impact of the acquisition of Opus in the second quarter of 2020.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s return on average assets was 1.90%, return on average equity was 14.02%, and return on average tangible common equity was 22.45%. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the return on average assets was 1.37%, the return on average equity was 9.99%, and the return on average tangible common equity was 16.21%. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the return on average assets was (2.61)%, the return on average equity was (17.76)%, and the return on average tangible common equity was (29.40)%.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded net income of $165.0 million, or $1.73 per diluted share. This compares with net loss of $73.4 million, or $(1.14) per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in net income of $238.3 million was primarily due to a $222.6 million decrease in provision for credit losses, an $83.1 million increase in net interest income, a $29.1 million increase in noninterest income, and a $41.1 million decrease in merger-related expenses, partially offset by a $92.1 million increase in income tax expense and $45.4 million increase in noninterest expense excluding merger-related expenses. The decrease in provision for credit losses was attributable to higher provision expense from the Company’s adoption of ASC 326 effective January 1, 2020, the acquisition of Opus, and unfavorable economic forecasts used in the Company’s ACL model driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the $38.5 million recapture of provision for credit losses during the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to improved economic forecasts used in the Company’s CECL model relative to prior periods and the continued strong asset quality profile of the loan portfolio. The year-over-year increases in net income reflect the impact of the acquisition of Opus in the second quarter of 2020.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s return on average assets was 1.64%, return on average equity was 12.00%, and return on average tangible common equity was 19.33%, compared with a return on average assets of (1.10)%, return on average equity of (6.87)%, and a return on average tangible common equity of (11.01)% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Net Interest Income
Our primary source of revenue is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest earned on loans, investment securities, and interest earning balances with financial institutions (“interest-earning assets”) and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings (“interest-bearing liabilities”). Net interest margin is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. Net interest income is affected by changes in both interest rates and the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Net interest income totaled $160.9 million in the second quarter of 2021, a decrease of $718,000, or 0.4%, from the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in net interest income reflected lower average loan yields and fees, partially offset by one more day of interest and a lower cost of funds driven by lower rates paid on deposits, lower average balances of retail and brokered certificates of deposit, and lower average borrowings.

The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2021 was 3.44%, compared with 3.55% in the prior quarter. Our core net interest margin, which excludes the impact of loan accretion income of $9.5 million, compared to $9.9 million in the prior quarter, certificates of deposit mark-to-market amortization, and other adjustments, decreased 8 basis points to 3.22%, compared to 3.30% in the prior quarter. The decrease was driven by lower average loan yields and fees, partially offset by a lower cost of funds.

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2021 increased $30.6 million, or 23.5%, compared to the second quarter of 2020. The increase was attributable to an increase in average interest-earning assets of $4.95 billion, which primarily resulted from the acquisition of Opus in the second quarter of 2020, as well as higher investment securities balances compared with the second quarter of 2020, and a lower cost of funds, partially offset by lower average loan and investment yields, and a higher average balance of deposits.

For the first six months ended 2021, net interest income increased $83.1 million, or 34.7%, compared to the first six months ended 2020. The increase was related to an increase in average interest-earning assets of $6.5 billion, which resulted primarily from our acquisition of Opus on June 1, 2020, and a lower cost of funds, partially offset by lower average loan and investment yields.

Changes in our net interest income are a function of changes in volume, days in a period, and rates of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The following tables present the impact that the volume, days in a period, and rate changes have had on our net interest income for the periods indicated. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, we have provided information on changes to our net interest income with respect to:
Changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate);
Changes in days in a period (changes in days in a period multiplied by daily interest; no changes in days for comparisons of the three months ended June 30, 2021 to the three months ended June 30, 2020);
Changes in interest rates (changes in interest rates multiplied by prior volume and includes the recognition of discounts/premiums and deferred fees/costs); and
The net change or the combined impact of volume, days in a period, and rate changes allocated proportionately to changes in volume, days in a period, and changes in interest rates.

Provision for Credit Losses

For the second quarter of 2021, the Bank recorded a $38.5 million provision recapture, a decrease of $40.5 million from the $2.0 million provision expense recognized during the first quarter of 2021, and a decrease of $199.1 million from the $160.6 million provision expense recognized during the second quarter of 2020. The decrease from the first quarter of 2021 was comprised of a $33.1 million provision recapture for loan losses and a $5.3 million provision recapture for unfunded commitments. The decrease during the second quarter of 2021 was primarily due to improved economic forecasts used in the Company’s CECL model relative to prior periods and the continued strong asset quality profile of the loan portfolio. The provision expense in the second quarter of 2020 reflected unfavorable changes in economic forecasts related to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Day 1 provision for loan losses of $75.9 million, and the provision for unfunded commitments of $8.6 million resulting from the acquisition of Opus.

The decrease, which included a $32.8 million provision recapture for loan losses and a $3.7 million provision recapture for unfunded commitments, was primarily due to improved economic conditions and forecasts used in the Bank’s CECL model relative to prior periods and the continued strong asset quality profile of the loan portfolio. The provision expense for the first six months of 2020 was driven by unfavorable changes in economic forecasts employed in the Company’s CECL model, the Day 1 provision for loan losses of $75.9 million, and the provision for unfunded commitments of $8.6 million resulting from the acquisition of Opus.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns using the asset liability method. In estimating future tax consequences, all expected future events other than enactments of changes in tax laws or tax rates are considered. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are to be recognized for temporary differences that will result in deductible amounts in future years and for tax carryforwards if, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operational performance and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of such financial performance. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance, financial position or cash flows that exclude (or include) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated, and presented in accordance with GAAP. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures and may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that may be presented by other companies.

For periods presented below, return on average tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate this figure by excluding amortization of intangible assets expense from net income and excluding the average intangible assets and average goodwill from the average stockholders’ equity during the period. Management believes that the exclusion of such items from this financial measure provides useful information to gain an understanding of the operating results of our core business.

Tangible book value per share and tangible common equity to tangible assets (the “tangible common equity ratio”) are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate tangible book value per share by dividing tangible common stockholder’s equity by shares outstanding. We calculate the tangible common equity ratio by excluding the balance of intangible assets from common stockholders’ equity and dividing by period end tangible assets, which also excludes intangible assets. We believe that this information is important to shareholders as tangible equity is a measure that is consistent with the calculation of capital for bank regulatory purposes, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based ratios.

Core net interest income and core net interest margin are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP based amounts. We calculate core net interest income by excluding scheduled accretion income, accelerated accretion income, premium amortization on CDs, and nonrecurring nonaccrual interest paid from net interest income. The core net interest margin is calculated as the ratio of core net interest income to average interest-earning assets. Management believes that the exclusion of such items from these financial measures provides useful information to gain an understanding of the operating results of our core business.

Pre-provision net revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate the pre-provision net revenue by excluding income tax, provision for credit losses, and merger-related expenses from net income. Management believes that the exclusion of such items from this financial measure provides useful information to gain an understanding of the operating results of our core business and a better comparison to the financial results of prior periods.

The Company completed the acquisition of Opus effective June 1, 2020. The Company's financial statements for the second quarter of 2020 include 30 days of Opus's operations, post-merger, which impacts the comparability of the current quarter's results to prior periods.

In the second quarter of 2021, we reported net income of $96.3 million, or $1.01 per diluted share. This compares with net income of $68.7 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2021. The increase in net income was primarily due to recapture of provision for credit losses of $38.5 million and a $3.0 million increase in noninterest income, partially offset by an increase of $13.1 million in income tax expense, an increase of $2.0 million in noninterest expense, and a decrease of $718,000 in net interest income. The provision recapture during the second quarter of 2021 was primarily attributable to improved economic forecasts used in the Company’s CECL model relative to prior periods and the continued strong asset quality profile of the loan portfolio.

Net income of $96.3 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2021 compares to a net loss for the second quarter of 2020 of $99.1 million, or $(1.41) per diluted share. The increase in net income was primarily due to a $199.1 million decrease in provision for credit losses, a $30.6 million increase in net interest income, a $39.3 million decrease in merger-related expense, and a $19.8 million increase in noninterest income, partially offset by an increase of $75.7 million in income tax expense and $17.9 million increase in noninterest expense excluding merger-related expenses. The provision decrease during the second quarter of 2021 was primarily due to improved economic forecasts used in the Company’s CECL model relative to prior periods and the continued strong asset quality profile of the loan portfolio. The provision expense in the second quarter of 2020 reflected unfavorable changes in economic forecasts related to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Day 1 provision for credit losses of $84.4 million resulting from the acquisition of Opus. The year-over-year increases in net income reflect the impact of the acquisition of Opus in the second quarter of 2020.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s return on average assets was 1.90%, return on average equity was 14.02%, and return on average tangible common equity was 22.45%. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the return on average assets was 1.37%, the return on average equity was 9.99%, and the return on average tangible common equity was 16.21%. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the return on average assets was (2.61)%, the return on average equity was (17.76)%, and the return on average tangible common equity was (29.40)%.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded net income of $165.0 million, or $1.73 per diluted share. This compares with net loss of $73.4 million, or $(1.14) per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in net income of $238.3 million was primarily due to a $222.6 million decrease in provision for credit losses, an $83.1 million increase in net interest income, a $29.1 million increase in noninterest income, and a $41.1 million decrease in merger-related expenses, partially offset by a $92.1 million increase in income tax expense and $45.4 million increase in noninterest expense excluding merger-related expenses. The decrease in provision for credit losses was attributable to higher provision expense from the Company’s adoption of ASC 326 effective January 1, 2020, the acquisition of Opus, and unfavorable economic forecasts used in the Company’s ACL model driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the $38.5 million recapture of provision for credit losses during the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to improved economic forecasts used in the Company’s CECL model relative to prior periods and the continued strong asset quality profile of the loan portfolio. The year-over-year increases in net income reflect the impact of the acquisition of Opus in the second quarter of 2020.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s return on average assets was 1.64%, return on average equity was 12.00%, and return on average tangible common equity was 19.33%, compared with a return on average assets of (1.10)%, return on average equity of (6.87)%, and a return on average tangible common equity of (11.01)% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Net Interest Income
Our primary source of revenue is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest earned on loans, investment securities, and interest earning balances with financial institutions (“interest-earning assets”) and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings (“interest-bearing liabilities”). Net interest margin is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. Net interest income is affected by changes in both interest rates and the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Net interest income totaled $160.9 million in the second quarter of 2021, a decrease of $718,000, or 0.4%, from the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in net interest income reflected lower average loan yields and fees, partially offset by one more day of interest and a lower cost of funds driven by lower rates paid on deposits, lower average balances of retail and brokered certificates of deposit, and lower average borrowings.

The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2021 was 3.44%, compared with 3.55% in the prior quarter. Our core net interest margin, which excludes the impact of loan accretion income of $9.5 million, compared to $9.9 million in the prior quarter, certificates of deposit mark-to-market amortization, and other adjustments, decreased 8 basis points to 3.22%, compared to 3.30% in the prior quarter. The decrease was driven by lower average loan yields and fees, partially offset by a lower cost of funds.

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2021 increased $30.6 million, or 23.5%, compared to the second quarter of 2020. The increase was attributable to an increase in average interest-earning assets of $4.95 billion, which primarily resulted from the acquisition of Opus in the second quarter of 2020, as well as higher investment securities balances compared with the second quarter of 2020, and a lower cost of funds, partially offset by lower average loan and investment yields, and a higher average balance of deposits.

For the first six months ended 2021, net interest income increased $83.1 million, or 34.7%, compared to the first six months ended 2020. The increase was related to an increase in average interest-earning assets of $6.5 billion, which resulted primarily from our acquisition of Opus on June 1, 2020, and a lower cost of funds, partially offset by lower average loan and investment yields.

Changes in our net interest income are a function of changes in volume, days in a period, and rates of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The following tables present the impact that the volume, days in a period, and rate changes have had on our net interest income for the periods indicated. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, we have provided information on changes to our net interest income with respect to:
Changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate);
Changes in days in a period (changes in days in a period multiplied by daily interest; no changes in days for comparisons of the three months ended June 30, 2021 to the three months ended June 30, 2020);
Changes in interest rates (changes in interest rates multiplied by prior volume and includes the recognition of discounts/premiums and deferred fees/costs); and
The net change or the combined impact of volume, days in a period, and rate changes allocated proportionately to changes in volume, days in a period, and changes in interest rates.

Provision for Credit Losses

For the second quarter of 2021, the Bank recorded a $38.5 million provision recapture, a decrease of $40.5 million from the $2.0 million provision expense recognized during the first quarter of 2021, and a decrease of $199.1 million from the $160.6 million provision expense recognized during the second quarter of 2020. The decrease from the first quarter of 2021 was comprised of a $33.1 million provision recapture for loan losses and a $5.3 million provision recapture for unfunded commitments. The decrease during the second quarter of 2021 was primarily due to improved economic forecasts used in the Company’s CECL model relative to prior periods and the continued strong asset quality profile of the loan portfolio. The provision expense in the second quarter of 2020 reflected unfavorable changes in economic forecasts related to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Day 1 provision for loan losses of $75.9 million, and the provision for unfunded commitments of $8.6 million resulting from the acquisition of Opus.

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2021 increased $19.8 million, or 287.5%, compared to the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to a $5.5 million increase in trust custodial account fees and a $1.4 million increase in escrow and exchange fees following the Opus acquisition, a $5.1 million increase in net gain from sales of investment securities, a $3.6 million increase in net gain from the sales of loans, and a $1.6 million increase in other income, primarily due to a $1.9 million increase in equity investment income and a $527,000 increase in SBA PPP loan referral fees, partially offset by a $647,000 loss on debt extinguishment.

The net gain from sales of loans for the second quarter of 2021 increased from the same period last year primarily due to the sales of $14.7 million of SBA loans for a net gain of $1.5 million, compared with the sales of $15.4 million of other loans for a net loss of $2.0 million during the second quarter of 2020.

Noninterest expense totaled $94.5 million for the second quarter of 2021, an increase of $2.0 million compared to the first quarter of 2021, primarily driven primarily by a $926,000 increase in compensation and benefits primarily attributable to higher business incentives associated with higher loan production, a $821,000 increase in other expense primarily related to a $518,000 increase in community development support, a $260,000 increase in premises and occupancy expense, and a $251,000 increase in legal and professional services.

Noninterest expense decreased by $21.5 million compared to the second quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily due to $39.3 million of merger-related expense for the second quarter of 2020 relating to the Opus acquisition. Excluding merger-related expense, noninterest expense increased $17.9 million compared to the second quarter of 2020, primarily due to an $10.5 million increase in compensation and benefits, a $2.8 million increase in premises and occupancy expense, a $2.3 million increase in other expense, a $1.3 million increase in data processing expense, a $1.1 million increase in legal and professional services, a $466,000 increase in FDIC insurance premiums, and a $342,000 increase in loan expense, all predominately as a result of the additional operations, personnel, branches, and divisions retained with the acquisition of Opus.

Noninterest expense totaled $187.0 million for the first six months of 2021, an increase of $4.4 million, or 2%, compared with the first six months of 2020. The increase was driven primarily by increases of $28.6 million in compensation and benefits, $6.6 million in premises and occupancy expense, $3.9 million in data processing expense, $3.4 million in other expense, $1.9 million in legal and professional services expense, and $1.3 million in FDIC insurance premiums, all predominately as a result of the additional operations, personnel, branches, and divisions retained with the acquisition of Opus, partially offset by a $41.1 million decrease in merger-related expense relating to the Opus acquisition.

The Company’s efficiency ratio was 49.4% for the second quarter of 2021, compared to 48.6% for the first quarter of 2021 and 52.9% for the second quarter of 2020. The Company’s efficiency ratio was 49.0% for the first six months of 2021, compared to 52.7% for the first six months of 2020.

Income Taxes

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, March 31, 20202021, and June 30, 2019,2020, income tax expense (benefit) expense was $(40.3)$35.3 million, $5.8$22.3 million, and $14.2$(40.3) million, respectively, and the effective income tax rate was (28.9%)26.8%, 18.5%24.5%, and 26.9%28.9%, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 differs from the 21% federal statutory rate due to the impact of state taxes as well as various permanent tax differences, including tax-exempt income from municipal securities, BOLI income, tax credits from low-income housing tax credit (“LIHTC”) investments, and the exercise of stock options and vesting of other stock-based compensation.

The increase in the effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2021 was primarily due to the effect of favorable permanent differences on higher annual projected pre-tax book income. The income tax benefit recorded for the second quarter of 2020 was driven by the significant pre-tax loss recorded for the second quarter, dueattributable to the provision for credit losses and our merger-related costs associated with the acquisition of Opus. For the second quarter and first six months of 2020, the estimated effective tax rate is deemed highly sensitive as our permanent book to tax differences are significant compared to the estimated pre-tax book income for the year. As such, the Company determined it is appropriate to estimate the effective tax rate and related income tax benefit for the second quarter and the first six months of 2020 based on actual year-to-date pre-tax operating results rather than estimates of pre-tax operating results for the full year, as generally required by ASC 740. As of June 30, 2020, the Company believes the income tax benefit associated with the year-to-date pre-tax loss will be realizable.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $3.1$1.7 million and $2.9 million$255,000 as of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively, and was primarily comprised of unrecognized tax benefits fromrelated to the Plaza BancorpOpus acquisition during 2017.in 2020. The total amount of tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective tax rate was $180,000$749,000 and $0$184,000 at June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. The Company does not believe that the unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly within the next twelve months.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company had accrued for $511,000$26,000 and $424,000$22,000 of such interest at June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. No amounts for penalties were accrued.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as state income and franchise taxes in multiple state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations for the assessment of taxes related to the consolidated federal income tax returns is closed for all tax years up to and including 2015.2016. The expiration of the statute of limitations for the assessment of taxes related to the various state income and franchise tax returns varies by state.

The Company accounts for income taxes by recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities based upon temporary differences between the amounts for financial reporting purposes and tax basis of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management evaluates both positive and negative evidence, including the existence of any cumulative losses in the current year and the prior two years, the amount of taxes paid in available carryback years, the forecasts of future income, applicable tax planning strategies, and assessments of current and future economic and business conditions. This analysis is updated quarterly and adjusted as necessary. Based on the analysis, the Company has determined that a valuation allowance against capital loss carryforward of $170,000 was required as of June 30, 2021 as it is more likely that not that the Company would not generate future capital gains to offset the capital loss carryforward. Except for the valuation allowance against the capital loss carryforward of $170,000, a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was not required as of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020.

These increases wererespectively, partially offset by increasesa $248.9 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents. The increase in BOLI was due to a $150 million purchase of $246.6 millionadditional BOLI in allowance for credit losses on loans, reflecting a provision for loan losses of $150.3 million and an initial ACL of $21.2 million with respect to PCD loans from the acquisition of Opus. The provision increase was primarily a result of the Opus acquisition and the unfavorable changes in economic forecasts employed in the Bank's CECL modeling.June 2021.

Delinquent Loans.  When a borrower fails to make required payments on a loan and does not cure the delinquency within 30 days, we normally initiate proceedings to pursue our remedies under the loan documents. For loans secured by real estate, we record a notice of default and, after providing the required notices to the borrower, commence foreclosure proceedings. If the loan is not reinstated within the time permitted by law, we may sell the property at a foreclosure sale. At these foreclosure sales,sale where we generally acquire title to the property. Loans delinquent 30 or more days as a percentage of loans held for investment were 0.25%0.14% at June 30, 2020,2021, compared to 0.22%0.10% at December 31, 2019.2020.

Allowance for Credit Losses

  The Company accounts for credit losses on loans and unfunded loan commitments in accordance with ASC 326, which requires the Company to record an estimate of expected lifetime credit losses for loans and unfunded loan commitments at the time of origination or acquisition. The ACL is maintained at a level deemed appropriate by management to provide for expected credit losses in the portfolio as of the date of the consolidated statements of financial condition. Estimating expected credit losses requires management to use relevant forward-looking information, including the use of reasonable and supportable forecasts. The measurement of the ACL is performed by collectively evaluating loans with similar risk characteristics. Loans that have been deemed by management to no longer possess similar risk characteristics are evaluated individually under a discounted cash flow approach, and loans that have been deemed collateral dependent are evaluated individually based on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral.

        The Company measures the ACL on commercial real estate and commercial loans using a discounted cash flow approach, using the loan’s effective interest rate, while the ACL for retail loans is based on a historical loss rate model. The discounted cash flow methodology relies on several significant components essential to the development of estimates for future cash flows on loans and unfunded commitments. These components consist of: (i) the estimated probability of default, (ii) the estimated loss given default, which represents the estimated severity of the loss when a loan is in default, (iii) estimates for prepayment activity on loans and (iv) the estimated exposure to the Company at default. In the case of unfunded loan commitments, the Company’s incorporates estimates for utilization, based on its own historical data. Probability of default and loss given default for commercial real estate loans are derived from a third party, using proxy loan information, and loan and property level attributes. Additionally, loss given default for commercial real estate loans incorporate an estimate for the loss severity associated with loans where the borrower fails to meet their debt obligation at maturity. External factors that impact loss given default for commercial real estate loans include: changes in the CRE Price Index, GDP growth rate, unemployment rates and the Moody’s Baa rating corporate debt interest rate spread.

        For commercial loans, probability of default is based on an internally developed rating scale that assigns probability of default based on the Company’s internal risk grades for each loan. Changes in risk grades for commercial loans, result in changes in probability of default. The Company obtains loss given default for commercial loans from a third party that has a considerable database of credit related information specific to the financial services industry and the type of loans within this segment.

        Probability of default for both commercial real estate and commercial loans are also heavily impacted by current and expected economic conditions.

        The ACL for retail loans is based on a historical loss rate model, which incorporates losses rates derived from a third party that has a considerable database of credit related information for retail loans. Loss rates for retail loans are dependent upon loan level and external factors such as: FICO, vintage, geography, unemployment rates and changes in consumer real estate prices.

        The Company’s ACL includes assumptions concerning current and future economic conditions using reasonable and supportable forecasts and how those forecasts are expected to impact a borrower’s ability to satisfy their obligation to the Bank and the ultimate collectability of future cash flows over the life of the loan. The Company uses economic scenarios from Moody’s. These scenarios are based on past events, current conditions and the likelihood of future events occurring. Management periodically evaluates economic scenarios, determines whether to utilize multiple probability-weighted scenarios in the Company’s ACL model, and, if multiple scenarios are utilized, evaluates and determines the weighting for each scenario used in the Company’s ACL model, and thus the scenarios and weightings of each scenario may change in future periods. Economic scenarios as well as assumptions within those scenarios can vary based on changes in current and expected economic conditions and due to the occurrence of specific events such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

117


        As of January 1, 2020, upon the adoption of ASC 326, Company’s ACL model used three scenarios representing a base-case scenario, an upside scenario, and a downside scenario. The weightings assigned to each scenario were as follows: the base-case scenario, or most likely scenario, was assigned a weighting of 40%, while the upside and downside scenarios were each assigned weightings of 30%. As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s ACL model used the same three probability weighted scenarios, updated for current expected economic conditions, including the current and estimated future impact associated with the on-going COVID-19 pandemic. The Company evaluated the weightings of each economic scenario in the current period with the assistance of an independent third party, and determined the current weightings of 40% for the base-case scenario, and 30% for each of the upside and downside scenarios appropriately reflect the likelihood of outcomes for each scenario given the current economic environment. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company’s ACL model used three probability-weighted scenarios, however the composition and weightings of those scenarios differed from those used in the model as of June 30, 2020 due to the rapid emergence of the of the COVID-19 pandemic in the first quarter of 2020and the ensuing decline in economic activity. These scenarios included (i) a base-case scenario with a weighting of 37.5%, (ii) a critical pandemic scenario with a weighting of 30%, and (iii) a more severe down-side scenario with a weighting of 32.5%. The composition of these scenarios and their assigned weightings were determined with the assistance of an independent third party, and were reflective of the rapidly changing economic conditions, economic uncertainty and volatility in financial markets brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and the estimated likelihood of each scenario occurring as of March 31, 2020.
        The Company currently forecasts economic conditions over a two-year period, which we believe is a reasonable and supportable period. Beyond the point which the Company can provide for a reasonable and supportable forecast, economic variables revert to their long-term averages. The Company has reflected this reversion over a period of three years in each of its economic scenarios.

        The forecasts used in the Company’s ACL model are produced by an independent third party and have been widely used by banks, credit unions, government agencies and real estate developers. These economic forecasts cover all states and metropolitan areas in the Unites States, and reflect changes in economic variables such as: GDP growth, interest rates, employment rates, changes in wages, retail sales, industrial production, metrics associated with the single-family and multifamily housing markets, vacancy rates, changes in equity market prices and energy markets.

        The Company has identified certain economic variables that have significant influence in the Company’s model for determining the ACL. As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s ACL model incorporated the following assumptions for key economic variables in the base-case and downside scenarios:

Base-case Scenario:

CRE Price Index decreases by an approximate annualized rate of 16% through the remainder of 2020 with the rate of decline slowing in Q1 2021 to 8%, before returning to growth in the second quarter of 2021.
A significant decrease in real GDP of an approximate 33% annualized rate in Q2 2020, followed by an approximate 20% increase in Q3 2020 before returning to levels of marginal growth through the second quarter of 2021.
Elevated levels of U.S. unemployment reaching approximately 14% in Q2 2020 and then declining to levels of 9% to 10% through the end of 2021.


118


Upside Scenario:

CRE Price Index decreases by an approximate annualized rate of 15% and 6% during the third and fourth quarters of 2020, respectively, before returning to growth by the first quarter of 2021.
An approximate annualized decrease in real GDP of 27% in Q2 2020, followed by a 20% increase in real GDP in the third quarter of 2020, and growth of approximately 4% growth through the end of the second quarter of 2021.
Elevated levels of U.S. unemployment at approximately 13% for Q2 2020, followed by unemployment of approximately 9% through the remainder of 2020, and decreasing gradually to approximately 7% by the end of 2021.

Downside Scenario:

CRE Price Index decreases by an approximate annualized rate of 25% and 26% in the third and fourth quarters of 2020, respectively, with the rate of decline decreasing to 21% and 4% in the first and second quarters of 2021, respectively, before returning to growth in the third quarter of 2021.
A decrease in real GDP of an approximate annualized rate of 36% in the second quarter of 2020, followed by an increase in GDP of approximately 13% in the third quarter of 2020, and then declining by approximately 4% in the fourth quarter of 2020, 3% in the first quarter of 2021, 1% growth in the second quarter of 2021 and growth of 5% to 6% in the remaining two quarters of 2021.
Elevated levels of U.S. unemployment at approximately 15% for Q2 2020, followed by unemployment of approximately 11% and 12% in Q3 and Q4 2020. Unemployment is projected to remain elevated at approximately 12% through the end of 2021.

        The Company recognizes that historical information used as the basis for determining future expected credit losses may not always, by themselves, provide a sufficient basis for determining future expected credit losses. The Company, therefore, periodically considers the need for qualitative adjustments to the ACL. Qualitative adjustments may be related to and include, but not be limited to, factors such as: (i) management’s assessment of economic forecasts used in the model and how those forecasts align with management’s overall evaluation of current and expected economic conditions, (ii) organization specific risks such as credit concentrations, collateral specific risks, regulatory risks and external factors that may ultimately impact credit quality, (iii) potential model limitations such as limitations identified through back-testing, and other limitations associated with factors such as underwriting changes, acquisition of new portfolios and changes in portfolio segmentation and (iv) management’s overall assessment of the adequacy of the ACL, including an assessment of model data inputs used to determine the ACL. As of June 30, 2020, qualitative adjustments included in the ACL totaled $15.0 million. These adjustments relate to potential limitations in the model. Management determined through additional review that certain key model drivers are potentially underestimating the impact the on-going COVID-19 pandemic may have on small and medium sized businesses, and may not be fully reflecting the potential for a more turbulent economic recovery. Management reviews the need for and appropriate level of qualitative adjustments on a quarterly basis, and as such, the amount and allocation of qualitative adjustments may change in future periods.


119


        At June 30, 2020, our allowance for credit losses on loans was $282.3 million, an increase of $246.6 million from $35.7 million at December 31, 2019, is reflective of a $55.7 million cumulative-effect Day 1 adjustment to ACL on loans associated with the Company’s adoption of ASC 326 on January 1, 2020, which was recorded through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings, as well as $175.6 million in provisions for credit losses on loans, net charge-offs of $6.0 million, and the establishment of $21.2 million in net ACL for PCD loans previously mentioned. The provision for credit losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 includes approximately $75.9 million related to the initial ACL required for the acquisition of non-PCD loans in the Opus acquisition. Under ASC 326, the Company is required to record an ACL for estimates of life-time credit losses on loans at the time of acquisition. For non-PCD loans, the initial ACL is established through a charge to provision for credit losses at the time of acquisition. However, the ACL for PCD loans is established through an adjustment to the loan’s purchase price (or initial fair value). In addition, the provision for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 is also reflective of unfavorable changes in economic forecasts used in the Company’s ACL model driven by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Company incurred $4.7 million and $6.0 million of net charge-offs, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $3.6 million and $3.8 million, respectively during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase between second quarters was primarily due to the charge-off of a commercial and industrial loan relationship of $1.5 million, a franchise non-real estate secured loan of $1.0 million, as well as a $600,000 charge-off of an SBA non-real estate secured loan acquired from Opus.

        No assurance can be given that we will not, in any particular period, sustain credit losses that exceed the amount reserved, or that subsequent evaluation of our loan portfolio, in light of prevailing factors, including economic conditions that may adversely affect our market area or other circumstances, will not require significant increases in the ACL.  In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our ACL and may require us to recognize additional provisions to increase the allowance and record charge-offs in anticipation of future losses.

        At June 30, 2020, the Company believes the ACL was adequate to cover current expected credit losses in the loan portfolio. Should any of the factors considered by management in evaluating the appropriate level of the ACL change, including the size and composition of the loan portfolio, the credit quality of the loan portfolio, as well as forecasts of future economic conditions, the Company’s estimate of current expected credit losses could also significantly change and affect the level of future provisions for credit losses.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

We sometimes modify or restructure loans when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties by making a concession to the borrower in the form of changes in the amortization terms, reductions in the interest rates, the acceptance of interest only payments, and, in limited cases, concessions to the outstanding loan balances. These loans are classified as TDR. AtTDRs. As of June 30, 2020,2021, there were $17.8 million loans reported as TDRs, consistedcompared with no TDR loans as of one loan for $700,000 that was over 90 days past due and on nonaccrual status. At December 31, 2019, TDRs consisted of two loans totaling $3.0 million that were both current and on accrual status.2020. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, there were six loans totaling $17.8 million modified as TDRs, which are comprised of three CRE owner-occupied loans and one C&I loan totaling $5.3 million belonging to one borrower relationship with the terms modified due to bankruptcy and two franchise non-real estate secured loans totaling $12.6 million belonging to another borrower relationship with the terms modified for payment deferral. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the three CRE owner-occupied loans and one C&I loan classified as TDRs were in payment default and all TDRs were on nonaccrual status as of June 30, 2021. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, and 2019, there were no loans modified as TDRs.TDRs that experienced payment defaults after modifications within the previous 12 months.

In accordance with the CARES Act, the Company has implemented various loan modification programs beginning in April 2020 to provide its borrowers relief from the economic impacts of COVID-19 and elected to not apply TDR classification to anydetermined none of the COVID-19 related loan modifications.modifications need to be characterized as TDRs. As of June 30, 2021, there was one single family residential loan for $819,000 classified as a COVID-19 modification under Section 4013 of the CARES Act. Additionally, as of June 30, 2021, no loans were in-process for potential modification. At December 31, 2020, 1,461 loans with a total balance of $2.24 billion, of which 34552 loans totaling $688.4$79.5 million, were acquired in connection with the acquisitionor 0.60% of Opus, were modified due to COVID-19 hardship under the CARES Act, which represents 14.9% of total loans held for investment.investment, remained within their modification period, of which $20.2 million of loans had migrated to the substandard risk grade. No loans were in-process for potential modification as of December 31, 2020. See Note 6 - Loans Held for Investment for additional information.

Nonperforming Assets
 
Nonperforming assets consist of loans on which we have ceased accruing interest (nonaccrual loans), troubled debt restructured loans, OREO, and other repossessed assets owned. It is our general policy to place a loan on nonaccrual status when the loan becomes 90 days or more past due or when collection of principal or interest appears doubtful.
 
Nonperforming assets totaled $34.2$34.4 million, or 0.17% of total assets, at June 30, 2020,2021, an increase from $9.0$29.2 million, or 0.08%0.15% of total assets, at December 31, 2019. At June 30, 2020, nonperforming loans totaled $33.8 million, or 0.22%, of loans held for investment, an increase from $8.5 million, or 0.10% of loans held for investment at December 31, 2019.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company accounts for credit losses on loans and unfunded loan commitments in accordance with ASC 326, which requires the Company to record an estimate of expected lifetime credit losses for loans and unfunded loan commitments at the time of origination or acquisition. The ACL is maintained at a level deemed appropriate by management to provide for expected credit losses in the portfolio as of the date of the consolidated statements of financial condition. Estimating expected credit losses requires management to use relevant forward-looking information, including the use of reasonable and supportable forecasts. The measurement of the ACL is performed by collectively evaluating loans with similar risk characteristics. Loans that have been deemed by management to no longer possess similar risk characteristics are evaluated individually under a discounted cash flow approach, and loans that have been deemed collateral dependent are evaluated individually based on the expected estimated fair value of the underlying collateral.

The Company measures the ACL on commercial real estate and commercial loans using a discounted cash flow approach, using the loan’s effective interest rate, while the ACL for retail loans is based on a historical loss rate model. The discounted cash flow methodology relies on several significant components essential to the development of estimates for future cash flows on loans and unfunded commitments. These components consist of: (i) the estimated probability of default, (ii) the estimated loss given default, which represents the estimated severity of the loss when a loan is in default, (iii) estimates for prepayment activity on loans, and (iv) the estimated exposure to the Company at default. With respect to unfunded loan commitments, the Company’s incorporates estimates for utilization, based on historical loan data. Probability of default and loss given default for investor loans secured by real estate are derived from a third party, using proxy loan information, and loan and property level attributes. Additionally, loss given default for these loans incorporates an estimate for the loss severity associated with loans where the borrower fails to meet their debt obligation at maturity. External factors that impact loss given default for commercial real estate loans include: changes in the index for CRE pricing, GDP growth rate, unemployment rates, and the Moody’s Baa rating corporate debt interest rate spread.

For business loans secured by real estate and commercial loans, probability of default is based on an internally developed rating scale that assigns probability of default based on the Company’s internal risk grades for each loan. Changes in risk grades for these loans result in changes in probability of default. The Company obtains loss given default for these loans from a third party that has a considerable database of credit related information specific to the financial services industry and the type of loans within these segments.

Probability of default for both investor and business real estate loans, as well as commercial loans are heavily impacted by current and expected economic conditions.

The ACL for retail loans is based on a historical loss rate model, which incorporates loss rates derived from a third party that has a considerable database of credit related information for retail loans. Loss rates for retail loans are dependent upon loan level and external factors such as: FICO, vintage, geography, unemployment rates, and changes in consumer real estate prices.

The Company’s ACL includes assumptions concerning current and future economic conditions using reasonable and supportable forecasts and how those forecasts are expected to impact a borrower’s ability to satisfy their obligation to the Bank and the ultimate collectability of future cash flows over the life of a loan. The Company uses economic scenarios from Moody’s Analytics. These scenarios are based on past events, current conditions, and the likelihood of future events occurring. Management periodically evaluates economic scenarios, determines whether to utilize multiple probability-weighted scenarios, and if multiple scenarios are utilized, evaluates and determines the weighting for each scenario used in the Company’s ACL model, and thus the scenarios and weightings of each scenario may change in future periods. Economic scenarios as well as assumptions within those scenarios can vary based on changes in current and expected economic conditions and due to the occurrence of specific events such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

117


As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s ACL model used three probability-weighted scenarios representing a base-case scenario, an upside scenario, and a downside scenario. The weightings assigned to each scenario were as follows: the base-case scenario, or most likely scenario, was assigned a weighting of 40%, while the upside and downside scenarios were each assigned weightings of 30%. These economic scenarios include the current and estimated future impact associated with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The Company evaluated the weightings of each economic scenario in the current period with the assistance of Moody's Analytics, and determined the current weightings of 40% for the base-case scenario, and 30% for each of the upside and downside scenarios appropriately reflect the likelihood of outcomes for each scenario given the current economic environment. The use of three probability-weighted scenarios in the second quarter of 2021 and the weighting assigned to each scenario is consistent with the approach used in the Company’s ACL model for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020.

The Company, with the assistance of Moody’s Analytics, currently forecasts probability of default and loss given default based on economic scenarios over a two-year period, which we believe is a reasonable and supportable period. Beyond this point, probability of default and loss given default revert to their long-term averages. The Company has reflected this reversion over a period of three years in each of its economic scenarios used to generate the overall probability-weighted forecast.

The economic forecasts used in the Company’s ACL model cover all states and metropolitan areas in the Unites States, and reflect changes in economic variables such as: GDP growth, interest rates, employment rates, changes in wages, retail sales, industrial production, metrics associated with the single-family and multifamily housing markets, vacancy rates, changes in equity market prices, and energy markets.

It is important to note that the Company’s ACL model relies on multiple economic variables, which are used under several economic scenarios. Although no one economic variable can fully demonstrate the sensitivity of the ACL calculation to changes in the economic variables used in the model, the Company has identified certain economic variables that have significant influence in the Company’s model for determining the ACL.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s ACL model incorporated the following assumptions for key economic variables in the base-case, upside and downside scenarios:

Base-case Scenario:

CRE price index experiences a slowing annualized rate of decline throughout 2021 from approximately -13% in early 2021 to approximately -4% by the end of 2021. This scenario assumes the index returns to growth in 2022 and 2023. This scenario also assumes the CRE price index returns to moderate levels of growth beginning in the first quarter of 2022, with the annualized rate of growth increasing from 2% in early 2022 to 10% by the end of 2022. Under this scenario, the CRE price index is anticipated to increase approximately 8-9% on an annualized basis in 2023.
U.S. real GDP experiences growth within a range of 6-7% on an annualized basis throughout 2021. This scenario also assumes decelerating growth in real GDP throughout 2022, from the levels estimated for 2021. Growth in real GDP for 2022 under this scenario decelerates from approximately 5% annualized in early 2022 to approximately 2% annualized by the end of 2022. This scenario assumes real GDP growth increases to approximately 2-3% in 2023.
U.S. unemployment declining from approximately 6% in early 2021 to approximately 4.5% by the end of 2021. This scenario also assumes unemployment continues to decline in 2022 from approximately 4% in early 2022 to approximately 3.5% by the end of 2022. This scenario assumes the rate of unemployment holds constant at approximately 3.5% throughout 2023.


118


Upside Scenario:

CRE price index experiences declines throughout 2021, with the estimated annualized rate of decline slowing from approximately -13% in early 2021 to approximately -1% by the end of 2021. This scenario also assumes the CRE price index returns growth in 2022, with the annualized rate of growth increasing from 7% in early 2022 to 12% by the end of 2022. Under this scenario, the CRE price index is anticipated to experience a decelerating annualized rate of increase from approximately 9% in early 2023 to approximately 7% by the end of 2023.
U.S. real GDP experiences accelerating growth within a range of 6-10% on an annualized basis throughout 2021. This scenario also assumes decelerating growth in real GDP throughout 2022, from the levels estimated for 2021. Growth in real GDP for 2022 under this scenario decelerates from approximately 8% annualized in early 2022 to approximately 0% annualized by the end of 2022. This scenario assumes real GDP growth increases to approximately 1-2% in 2023.
U.S. unemployment declining from approximately 6.2% in early 2021 to approximately 4.0% by the end of 2021. This scenario also assumes unemployment of approximately 3% throughout all of 2022. This scenario assumes the rate of unemployment holds constant at approximately 3% throughout 2023.

Downside Scenario:

CRE price index experiences accelerating annualized rates of decline throughout 2021. Annualized declines of approximately -13% in early 2021 and accelerating to approximately -20% by the end of 2021. The CRE price index is estimated to experience decelerating declines throughout 2022, with the annualized rate of decline slowing from approximately -24% in early 2022 to approximately -2% by the end of 2022. Under this scenario, the CRE price index is anticipated to experience accelerating annualized growth of approximately 7% in early 2023 to approximately 20% by the end of 2023.
U.S. real GDP experiences growth of approximately 6% to 10% in the first half of 2021, followed by a decrease of -3% for the remainder of 2021. This scenario also assumes a return to modest annualized growth in real GDP by the second quarter of 2022, with growth of approximately 2-3% for the remainder of 2022. This scenario assumes real GDP fluctuates within a range of approximately 2-4% throughout 2023.
U.S. unemployment increases throughout 2021 from approximately 6% in early 2021 to approximately 8% by the end of 2021. This scenario also assumes unemployment remains elevated in 2022 at approximately 9%. This scenario assumes a decline in unemployment throughout 2023, from approximately 8% in early 2023 to approximately 7% at the end of 2023.

The Company periodically considers the need for qualitative adjustments to the ACL. Qualitative adjustments may be related to and include, but not be limited to, factors such as: (i) management’s assessment of economic forecasts used in the model and how those forecasts align with management’s overall evaluation of current and expected economic conditions, (ii) organization specific risks such as credit concentrations, collateral specific risks, regulatory risks, and external factors that may ultimately impact credit quality, (iii) potential model limitations such as limitations identified through back-testing, and other limitations associated with factors such as underwriting changes, acquisition of new portfolios and changes in portfolio segmentation, and (iv) management’s overall assessment of the adequacy of the ACL, including an assessment of model data inputs used to determine the ACL. As of June 30, 2021, qualitative adjustments included in the ACL totaled $8.0 million. These adjustments primarily relate to continued uncertainty concerning the strength of the economic recovery and how it may impact certain classes of loans in the loan portfolio. Management determined through additional review that the uneven recovery and continued government interventions, are potentially underestimating the impact the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may have on certain segments and classes of the loan portfolio, such as loans within the SBA, franchise, C&I, and construction classifications. Management reviews the need for an appropriate level of qualitative adjustments on a quarterly basis, and as such, the amount and allocation of qualitative adjustments may change in future periods.

The ACL was $232.8 million at June 30, 2021, $267.0 million at March 31, 2021 and $268.0 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease in the ACL for loans held for investment during the three months ended June 30, 2021 of $34.2 million was comprised of a $33.1 million provision for credit losses recapture and $1.1 million in net charge-offs. The provision recapture for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was reflective of improving economic forecasts used in the Company’s ACL model relative to prior periods and the continued strong asset quality profile of the loan portfolio, partially offset by an increase in loans held for investment during the quarter. The decrease in the ACL for the six months ended June 30, 2021 of $35.2 million was comprised of a $32.8 million provision for credit losses recapture and $2.4 million in net charge-offs. The provision recapture for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was also reflective of improving economic forecasts used in the Company’s ACL model and the continued strong asset quality profile of the loan portfolio.

The ACL was $282.3 million at June 30, 2020, $115.4 million at March 31, 2020, and $35.7 million at December 31, 2019. The change in the ACL for the three months ended June 30, 2020 of $166.8 million was comprised of a $150.3 million provision for credit losses, $4.7 million in net charge-offs, and the establishment of $21.2 million in net ACL for PCD loans acquired in the Opus acquisition. The ACL established for PCD loans was reflected as an adjustment to the acquired balance of the loans in accordance with ASC 326. The change in the ACL for the six months ended June 30, 2020 of $246.6 million was reflective of a $55.7 million addition associated with the Company’s adoption of ASC 326 on January 1, 2020, which was recorded through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings, as well as a $175.6 million provision for credit losses, net charge-offs of $6.0 million, and the establishment of $21.2 million in net ACL for PCD loans previously mentioned. The provision for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 includes $75.9 million related to the initial ACL for non-PCD loans acquired in the Opus acquisition, as required by ASC 326. The provision for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was also reflective of unfavorable changes in economic forecasts used in the Company’s ACL model, which was driven by the COVID-19 pandemic.

No assurance can be given that we will not, in any particular period, sustain credit losses that exceed the amount reserved, or that subsequent evaluation of our loan portfolio, in light of prevailing factors, including economic conditions that may adversely affect our market area or other circumstances, will not require significant increases in the ACL. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our ACL and may require us to recognize additional provisions to increase the allowance and record charge-offs in anticipation of future losses.


120


At June 30, 2021, the Company believes the ACL was adequate to cover current expected credit losses in the loan portfolio. Should any of the factors considered by management in evaluating the appropriate level of the ACL change, including the size and composition of the loan portfolio, the credit quality of the loan portfolio, as well as forecasts of future economic conditions, the Company’s estimate of current expected credit losses could also significantly change and affect the level of future provisions for credit losses.

Investment Securities
 
We primarily use our investment portfolio for liquidity purposes, capital preservation, and to support our interest rate risk management strategies. Investments totaled $2.37$4.51 billion at June 30, 2020,2021, an increase of $962.4$551.5 million, or 68.4%13.9%, from $1.41$3.95 billion at December 31, 2019.2020. The increase was primarily the result of $829.9 million of investment securities, after purchase accounting adjustments, acquired in connection with the acquisition of Opus, $492.6 million$1.34 billion in purchases, and a $51.5 million increase in mark-to-market fair value adjustments,primarily mortgage-backed securities, partially offset by $338.6$455.5 million in sales, and $72.9$289.5 million in principal payments, amortization, and redemptions.redemptions, and a $47.3 million decrease in mark-to-market fair value adjustments.

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the new CECL accounting standard. The Company’s assessment of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale investment securities as of January 1, 2020 indicated that an ACL was not required. The Company determined the likelihood of default on held-to-maturity investment securities was remote, and the amount of expected non-repayment on those investments was zero. The Company also analyzed available-for-sale investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of January 1, 2020 and determined the decline in fair value for those securities was not related to credit, but rather related to changes in interest rates and general market conditions.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
 
Our primary sources of funds are deposits, advances from the FHLB and other borrowings, principal and interest payments on loans, and income from investments. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit inflows and outflows as well as loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition.
 
        OurIn addition to the interest payments on loans and investments as well as fees collected on the services we provide, our primary sources of funds generated during the first six months of 20202021 were from:
 
Deposit growth of $1.16 billion;
Cash and cash equivalent acquired in Opus acquisition of $937.1 million;
Principal payments on loans held for investment of $826.0$1.37 billion;

Principal payments on securities of $69.2 million;
Proceeds of $38.2 million from the of sale of previously classified portfolio loans; and
Proceeds of $13.5 million from the sale and principal payments on loans held for sale.$278.3 million.

We used these funds to:
 
Originate loans held for investment of $1.54$1.88 billion;
Decrease FHLB borrowing of $686.0 million;
Purchase available-for-sale securities of $458.7 million;$1.33 billion;

Redeem junior subordinated debt securities of $25.0 million; and
Repurchase some of the Company’s common stock at a total cost of $6.9 million.

Our most liquid assets are unrestricted cash and short-term investments. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, lending, and investing activities during any given period. Our liquidity position is continuously monitored and adjustments are made to the balance between sources and uses of funds as deemed appropriate. At June 30, 2020,2021, cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.34 billion,$631.9 million, and the market value of our investment securities available-for-sale totaled $2.34$4.49 billion. If additional funds are needed, we have additional sources of liquidity that can be accessed, including FHLB advances, federal fund lines, the Federal Reserve’sReserve Board’s lending programs, as well as loan and investment securities sales. As of June 30, 2020,2021, the maximum amount we could borrow through the FHLB was $7.72$8.07 billion, of which $5.55$5.66 billion was remaining available for borrowing based on collateral pledged of $8.17$8.28 billion in real estate loans. At June 30, 2020,2021, we had $41.0 million indid not utilize any FHLB borrowings. At June 30, 2020,2021, we also had a $20.8 million line with the FRB discount window secured by investments securities as well as unsecured lines of credit aggregating $360.9 million, which consisted ofto $340.0 million with other financial institutions from which to draw funds, $20.9 million with the FRB.funds. As of June 30, 2020,2021, our liquidity ratio was 20.3%29.0%, which is above the Company’s minimum policy requirement of 10.0%. The Company regularly monitors liquidity, and models liquidity stress scenarios to ensure that adequate liquidity is available, and has contingency funding plans in place, which are reviewed and tested on a regular, recurring basis.
 
To the extent that 20202021 deposit growth is not sufficient to satisfy our ongoing commitments to fund maturing and withdrawable deposits, repay maturing borrowings, fund existing and future loans, or make investments, we may access funds through our FHLB borrowing arrangement, unsecured lines of credit, or other sources.

The Corporation is a corporate entity separate and apart from the Bank that must provide for its own liquidity. The Corporation’s primary sources of liquidity are dividends from the Bank. There are statutory and regulatory provisions that limit the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Corporation. Management believes that such restrictions will not have a material impact on the ability of the Corporation to meet its ongoing cash obligations. During the six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, the Bank paid $29.9$59.3 million in dividends to the Corporation.

The Corporation maintains a line of credit with US Bank established in June of 2019, with availability of $15.0 million that will expire on September 29, 2020.28, 2021. The Corporation anticipates renewing the line of credit upon expiration. This line of credit provides an additional source of liquidity at the Corporation level and had no outstanding balance at June 30, 2020. In June 2020,2021.

During the Corporation issued $150.0second quarters of 2021, the Company redeemed the subordinated notes totaling $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.375% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due June 15, 2030, at a public offering price equal to 100%that the Company assumed as part of the aggregateacquisition of Plaza Bancorp, Inc. in 2017. Prior to redemption, such subordinated notes carried a fixed interest rate of 7.125% and were scheduled to mature on June 26, 2025. These subordinated notes were called at 103% of the principal amount of the Notes.notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, for an aggregate amount of $25.8 million. See Note 9 - Subordinated Debentures for additional information.

During each quarterthe first and secondquarters of 2020,2021, the Corporation madedeclared a quarterly dividend payment of $0.25$0.30 and $0.33 per share.share, respectively. On July 24, 2020,23, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors declared a $0.25$0.33 per share dividend, payable on August 14, 202013, 2021 to stockholders of record as of August 7, 2020. The6, 2021.The Corporation’s Board of Directors periodically reviews whether to declare or pay cash dividends, taking into account, among other things, general business conditions, the Company’s financial results, future prospects, capital requirements, legal and regulatory restrictions, and such other factors as the Corporation’s Board of Directors may deem relevant.


130On January 11, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program, which authorized the repurchase of up to 4,725,000 shares of its common stock, representing approximately 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock and approximately $150 million of common stock as of December 31, 2020 based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2020. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company purchased 199,674 shares for a total of $6.9 million, or $34.51 per share, under this stock repurchase program. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments.  We utilize off-balance sheet commitments in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers and to reduce our own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to originate real estate, business, and other loans held for investment, undisbursed loan funds, lines and letters of credit, and commitments to purchase loans and investment securities for portfolio. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement we have in particular classes of financial instruments.

Commitments to originate loans held for investment are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the commitment. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Undisbursed loan funds and unused lines of credit on home equity and commercial loans include committed funds not disbursed. Letters of credit are conditional commitments we issue to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. As of June 30, 2020,2021, we had commitments to extend credit on existing lines and letters of credit of $1.89$2.35 billion, compared to $1.58$1.95 billion at December 31, 2019.2020.

Regulatory Capital Compliance
 
The Corporation and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Corporation’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Corporation’s and the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Corporation’s and the Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain capital in order to meet certain capital ratios to be considered adequately capitalized or well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. As of the most recent formal notification from the Federal Reserve, the Company and the Bank was categorized as “well capitalized.” There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s categorization.

Final comprehensive regulatory capital rules for U.S. banking organizations pursuant to the capital framework of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, generally referred to as “Basel III”, became effective for the Company and the Bank on January 1, 2015, subject to phase-in periods for certain of their components and other provisions. The most significant of the provisions of the new capital rules, which apply to the Company and the Bank are as follows: the phase-out of trust preferred securities from Tier 1 capital, the higher risk-weighting of high volatility and past due real estate loans and the capital treatment of deferred tax assets and liabilities above certain thresholds.

Beginning January 1, 2016, Basel III implemented a requirement for all banking organizations to maintain a capital conservation buffer above the minimum risk-based capital requirements in order to avoid certain limitations on capital distributions, stock repurchases and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The capital conservation buffer is exclusively comprised of common equity tier 1 capital, and it applies to each of the three risk-based capital ratios but not to the leverage ratio. The capital conservation buffer increased by 0.625% each year beginning on January 1, 2016, with additional 0.625% increments annually, until fully phased in at 2.50% by January 1, 2019. At June 30, 2020,2021, the Company and Bank are in compliance with the capital conservation buffer requirement and exceeded the minimum common equity Tier 1, Tier 1, and total capital ratio, inclusive of the fully phased-in capital conservation buffer, of 7.0%7.00%, 8.5%8.50%, and 10.5%10.50%, respectively, and the Bank qualified as “well-capitalized” for purposes of the federal bank regulatory prompt corrective action regulations.

In February 2019, the U.S. federal bank regulatory agencies approved a final rule modifying their regulatory capital rules and providing an option to phase-in over a three-year period the Day 1 adverse regulatory capital effects of CECL accounting standard. Additionally, in March 2020, the U.S. Federal bank regulatory agencies issued an interim final rule that provides banking organizations an option to delay the estimated CECL impact on regulatory capital for an additional two years for a total transition period of up to five years to provide regulatory relief to banking organizations to better focus on supporting lending to creditworthy households and businesses in light of recent strains on the U.S. economy as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The capital relief in the interim is calibrated to approximate the difference in allowances under CECL relative to the incurred loss methodology for the first two years of the transition period using a 25% scaling factor. The cumulative difference at the end of the second year of the transition period is then phased in to regulatory capital at 25% per year over a three-year transition period. The final rule was adopted and became effective in September 2020. As a result, entities may gradually phase in the full effect of CECL on regulatory capital over a five-year transition period. The Company implemented the CECL model commencing January 1, 2020 and elected to phase in the full effect of CECL on regulatory capital over the five-year transition period.

For regulatory capital purposes, the Company’sCorporation’s trust preferred securities are included in Tier 2 capital at June 30, 2020.2021. Provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act require that if a depository institution holding company exceeds $15 billion due to an acquisition, then trust preferred securities are to be excluded from Tier 1 capital beginning in the period in which the transaction occurred. During the current quarter, the Company’sThe Corporation’s acquisition of Opus resulted in total consolidated assets exceeding $15 billion; accordingly, trust preferred securities are now excluded from the Company’sCorporation’s Tier 1 capital and included as Tier 2 capital. The CompanyCorporation and the Bank also have subordinated debt that qualifies as Tier 2 capital. See Note 9 - Subordinated Debentures for additional information.

As defined in applicable regulations and set forth in the table below, the CompanyCorporation and the Bank continue to exceed the regulatory capital minimum requirements and the Bank continues to exceed the “well capitalized” standards and the required conservation buffer at the dates indicated:

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
 
Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss in value or reduced earnings from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. The Bank’s market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk in our lending and deposit taking activities. Interest rate risk primarily occurs to the degree that the Bank’s interest-bearing liabilities reprice or mature on a different basis and frequency than its interest-earning assets. The Bank actively monitors and manages its portfolios to limit the adverse effects on net interest income and economic value due to changes in interest rates. The Asset/Liability Committee is responsible for implementing the Bank’s interest rate risk management policy established by the board of directors that sets forth limits of acceptable changes in net interest income (“NII”) and economic value of equity (“EVE”) due to specified changes in interest rates. The principal objective of the Company’s interest rate risk management function is to maintain an interest rate risk profile close to the desired risk profile in light of the interest rate outlook. Management monitors asset and liability maturities and repricing characteristics on a regular basis and evaluates its interest rate risk as it relates to operational strategies.

Interest Rate Risk Management

The Bank measures the interest rate risk included in the major balance sheet portfolios and compares the current risk profile to the desired risk profile and to policy limits set by the Board of Directors. Management then implements strategies consistent with the desired risk profile. Asset duration is compared to liability, with the desired mix of fixed and floating rate determined based upon the Company’s risk profile and outlook. Likewise, the Bank seeks to raise non-maturity deposits. Management often implements these strategies through pricing actions. Finally, management structures its security portfolio and borrowings to offset some of the interest rate sensitivity created by the re-pricing characteristics of customer loans and deposits.

Management monitors asset and liability maturities and repricing characteristics on a regular basis and evaluates its interest rate risk as it relates to operational strategies. Management analyzes potential strategies for their impact on the interest rate risk profile. Each quarter the Corporation’s Board of Directors reviews the Bank’s asset/liability position, including simulations showing the impact on the Bank’s economic value of equity in various interest rate scenarios. Interest rate moves, up or down, may subject the Bank to interest rate spread compression, which adversely impacts its net interest income. This is primarily due to the lag in repricing of the indices, to which adjustable rate loans and mortgage-backed securities are tied, as well as their repricing frequencies. Furthermore, large rate moves show the impact of interest rate caps and floors on adjustable rate transactions. This is partly offset by lags in repricing for deposit products. The extent of the interest rate spread compression depends on the direction and severity of interest rate moves and features in the Bank’s product portfolios.

The Company’s interest rate sensitivity is monitored by management through the use of both a simulation model that quantifies the estimated impact to earnings (“Earnings at Risk”) for a twelve and twenty-four month period, and a model that estimates the change in the Company’s EVE under alternative interest rate scenarios, primarily instantaneous parallel interest rate shifts in 100 basis point increments. The simulation model estimates the impact on NII from changing interest rates on interest earning assets and interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities. The EVE model computes the net present value of equity by discounting all expected cash flows on assets and liabilities under each rate scenario. For each scenario, the EVE is the present value of all assets less the present value of all liabilities. The EVE ratio is defined as the EVE divided by the market value of assets within the same scenario.

Based on the modeling of the impact on earnings and EVE from changes in interest rates, the Company’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates is low for rising rates. Both the Earnings at Risk increases slightly as rates increase givenand the drop in market and index rates in the quarter, as a number of loans are below their floors, not allowing for the rate to increase immediately as indices rise.  EVE is modeled to increase as rates rise. It is important to note the above tables are forecasts based on several assumptions and that actual results may vary. The forecasts are based on estimates of historical behavior and assumptions by management that may change over time and may turn out to be different. Factors affecting these estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to (1) competitor behavior, (2) economic conditions both locally and nationally, (3) actions taken by the Federal Reserve Board, (4) customer behavior, and (5) management’s responses.responses to the foregoing. Changes that vary significantly from the assumptions and estimates may have significant effects on the Company’s earnings and EVE.

The Company does not have anyhas minimal direct market risk from foreign exchange or commodity exposures.and no exposure from commodities.

        Management believes that there have been no material changes in our quantitative and qualitative information about market risk since December 31, 2019. For a complete discussion of our quantitative and qualitative market risk, see “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk” in our 2019 Form 10-K.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
 
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
 
        Beginning January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the CECL model under ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The Company made changes to the loan loss reserve policies, processes and controls and incorporated new policies, process and controls over the estimation of ACL as a result. New controls were established over the review of PD and LGD model to calculate cash flows, economic forecasting projections and historical loss rate model provided by an independent third party during the quarter ended March 31, 2020. There hashave been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 20202021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

On April 2, 2020, the Corporation and its directors were named as defendants in a lawsuit brought in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California captioned Anschutz v. Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc., et al. (Case No. 8:20-cv-00650).  This lawsuit was brought by Bennett Anschutz, a shareholder of the Corporation.  Mr. Anschutz alleged that the Corporation omitted material facts necessary to make certain statements in the joint proxy statement/prospectus contained in the Corporation’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No.33-237188), as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated April 6, 2020, which was declared effective by the SEC on April 7, 2020 (the “Registration Statement”), not false or misleading. The complaint did not specify any damages, but sought the right to enjoin the Corporation’s acquisition of Opus until further disclosures are made, or in the alternative, recover unspecified damages related to the alleged omissions, as well as interest, attorney’s fees and litigation costs. On May 6, 2020, plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit, without prejudice. The lawsuit was reopened on July 14, 2020, against the Corporation only, for the limited purpose of plaintiff’s motion seeking attorney’s fees related to filing the lawsuit. The Corporation will oppose the request for attorney’s fees on the grounds that the additional disclosures identified by plaintiff were immaterial, and would not have meaningfully aided shareholders in evaluating the Opus acquisition in light of the Corporation’s existing disclosures.

Parshall Litigation
On April 21, 2020, Opus, the Opus directors, the Corporation, and the Bank were named as defendants in a lawsuit brought in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware captioned Parshall v. Opus Bank et al. (Case No. 1:20-cv-536). This lawsuit was brought by Paul Parshall, an Opus shareholder.  Mr. Parshall alleges that Opus and its directors omitted material facts necessary to make certain statements in the joint proxy statement/prospectus contained in the Registration Statement not false or misleading. It further alleges that the Corporation and the Bank were each a “controlling person” of Opus, and are therefore liable for those supposedly inadequate disclosures. The lawsuit purports to bring this claim on behalf of a class of similarly-situated Opus shareholders, although no class has yet been certified by the court. The complaint sought various forms of relief, much of it now moot, such as an order enjoining the now-completed Opus acquisition and requiring additional pre-Opus acquisition disclosures, as well as unspecified money damages or other monetary relief. The court has not yet authorized service of the lawsuit, and there has been no litigation activity to date. The Corporation and the Bank intend to file a motion to dismiss the lawsuit.
In addition to the lawsuits described above, the Company is involved in legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that neither lawsuit described above nor anynone of the legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse impact on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
    
The section titled Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of our 20192020 Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, includeincluded a discussion of the many risks and uncertainties we face, any one or more of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition (including capital and liquidity), or prospects or the value of or return on an investment in the Company. The information presented below provides an updateThere are no material changes to and should be read in conjunction with, theour risk factors and other information contained in our 2019 Form 10-K.

        The recent COVID-19 pandemic has led to periods of significant volatility in financial, commodities and other markets and could harm our business and results of operations.

In December 2019, COVID-19 was first reported in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. Since then, COVID-19 infections have spread to additional countries including the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic. Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances, it is difficult to predict the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on our business, and there is no guarantee that our efforts to address or mitigate the adverse impacts of the coronavirus will be effective. The impact to date has included periods of significant volatility in financial, commodities and other markets. This volatility, if it continues, could have an adverse impact on our customers and on our business, financial condition and results of operations as well as our growth strategy.

Our business is dependent upon the willingness and abilitypreviously described under Item 1A of our customers to conduct banking and other financial transactions. The spread of COVID-19 has caused and could continue to cause severe disruptions in the U.S. economy at large, and has resulted and may continue to result in disruptions to our customers’ businesses, and a decrease in consumer confidence and business generally. In addition, recent actions by US federal, state and local governments to address the pandemic, including travel bans, stay-at-home orders and school, business and entertainment venue closures, may have a significant adverse effect on our customers and the markets in which we conduct our business. The extent of impacts resulting from the coronavirus pandemic and other events beyond our control will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus pandemic and actions taken to contain the coronavirus or its impact, among others.

Economic impacts related to COVID-19 and government actions seeking to address the pandemic affected our loan originations during the second quarter of 2020 as we focused considerable efforts on originating SBA PPP loans. While we have now ceased originating SBA PPP loans and sold our entire SBA PPP portfolio, we believe economic impacts stemming from COVID-19 will continue to influence our loan originations in the near term, in terms of both a reduction in overall demand for new loans and our continued emphasis on prudent credit risk management, particularly within the context of the current uncertain economic environment.

Disruptions to our customers could result in increased risk of delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures and losses on our loans. The escalation of the pandemic may also negatively impact regional economic conditions for a period of time, resulting in declines in local loan demand, liquidity of loan guarantors, loan collateral (particularly in real estate), loan originations and deposit availability. If the global response to contain COVID-19 escalates or is unsuccessful, we could experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

138


        The spread of the COVID-19 outbreak and the governmental responses may disrupt banking and other financial activity in the areas in which we operate and could potentially create widespread business continuity issues for us.

The outbreak of COVID-19 and the U.S. federal, state and local governmental responses may result in a disruption in the services we provide. We rely on our third-party vendors to conduct business and to process, record, and monitor transactions. If any of these vendors are unable to continue to provide us with these services or experience interruptions in their ability to provide us with these services, it could negatively impact our ability to serve our customers. Furthermore, the coronavirus pandemic could negatively impact the ability of our employees and customers to engage in banking and other financial transactions in the geographic areas in which we operate and could create widespread business continuity issues for us. We also could be adversely affected if key personnel or a significant number of employees were to become unavailable due to infection, quarantine or other effects and restrictions of a COVID-19 outbreak in our market areas. Although we have business continuity plans, succession plans and other safeguards in place, there is no assurance that such plans and safeguards will be effective. If we are unable to promptly recover from such business disruptions, our business and financial conditions and results of operations would be adversely affected. We also may incur additional costs to remedy damages caused by such disruptions, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

        Our participation in the SBA PPP loan program exposes us to risks related to noncompliance with the PPP, as well as litigation risk related to our administration of the PPP loan program, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company participated in the SBA PPP loan program that was created to help eligible businesses, organizations and self-employed persons fund their operational costs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Under this program, the SBA guarantees 100% of the amounts loaned under the PPP. The PPP opened on April 3, 2020; however, because of the short window between the passing of the CARES Act and the opening of the PPP, as well as the continued rollout of additional program parameters, there is some ambiguity in the laws, rules and guidance regarding the operation of the PPP, which may expose the Company to risks relating to noncompliance with the PPP loan program. For instance, other financial institutions have experienced litigation related to their process and procedures used in processing applications for the PPP. Any material financial liability, litigation costs or reputational damage caused by PPP related litigation could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the Company may be exposed to credit risk on PPP loans if a determination is made by the SBA that there is a deficiency in the manner in which the loan was originated, funded, or serviced. If a deficiency is identified to be the result of the Company’s non-compliance with the PPP loan program requirements, the SBA may deny its liability under the guaranty, reduce the amount of the guaranty, or, if it has already paid under the guaranty, seek recovery of any loss related to the deficiency from the Company. Such actions could trigger one or more repurchase demands in connection with the recent sale of the Company’s PPP loan portfolio.

        Interest rate volatility stemming from COVID-19 could negatively affect our net interest income, lending activities, deposits and profitability.

Our net interest income, lending activities, deposits and profitability could be negatively affected by volatility in interest rates caused by uncertainties stemming from COVID-19.  In March 2020, the Federal Reserve lowered the target range for the federal funds rate to a range from 0 to 0.25 percent, citing concerns about the impact of COVID-19 on markets and stress in the energy sector. A prolonged period of extremely volatile and unstable market conditions would likely increase our funding costs and negatively affect market risk mitigation strategies. Higher income volatility from changes in interest rates and spreads to benchmark indices could cause a loss of future net interest income and a decrease in current fair market values of our assets. For example, our net interest margin decreased from 4.24% at March 31, 2020 to 3.79% at June 30, 2020, primarily due to lower loan and investment yields. Lower loan yields were partially driven by the impact of loan repricing resulting from the Federal Reserve’s decrease in the target range for the federal funds rate in March 2020, though other important factors impacted yields as well, such as the acquisition of the Opus loan portfolio and the origination of 1% coupon PPP loans. Fluctuations in interest rates will impact both the level of income and expense recorded on most of our assets and liabilities and the market value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our net income, operating results, or financial condition.

        We are subject to increasing credit risk as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which could adversely impact our profitability.

Our business depends on our ability to successfully measure and manage credit risk. As a commercial lender, we are exposed to the risk that the principal of, or interest on, a loan will not be paid timely or at all or that the value of any collateral supporting a loan will be insufficient to cover our outstanding exposure. In addition, we are exposed to risks resulting from changes in economic and industry conditions and risks inherent in dealing with individual loans and borrowers. As the overall economic climate in the U.S., generally, and in our market areas specifically, experiences material disruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our borrowers may experience difficulties in repaying their loans and governmental actions may provide payment relief to borrowers affected by COVID-19 and preclude our ability to initiate foreclosure proceedings in certain circumstances and, as a result, the collateral we hold may decrease in value or become illiquid, and the level of our nonperforming loans, charge-offs and delinquencies could rise and require significant additional provisions for credit losses. Additional factors related to the credit quality of certain commercial real estate and multifamily residential loans include the duration of state and local moratoriums on evictions for non-payment of rent or other fees. The payment on these loans that are secured by income producing properties are typically dependent on the successful operation of the related real estate property and may subject us to risks from adverse conditions in the real estate market or the general economy.

We are actively working to support our borrowers to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on them and on our loan portfolio, including through temporary loan modifications that reduce or defer payments for those who experienced a hardship as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although recent regulatory guidance provides that such loan modifications are exempt from the calculation and reporting of TDRs and loan delinquencies, we cannot predict whether such loan modifications may ultimately have an adverse impact on our profitability in future periods. Our inability to successfully manage the increased credit risk caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        We may incur impairments to goodwill or other intangibles as a result of the economic volatility resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and stock price.

As of June 30, 2020, we had $901.2 million recorded as goodwill. We evaluate our goodwill for impairment at least annually. Although we conducted an impairment assessment of goodwill and intangibles in both the first quarter and the second quarter of 2020 and the impairment evaluation did not identify any impairment in the first quarter or the second quarter of 2020, there can be no assurances that prolonged significant negative economic trends resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, including the lack of recovery in the market price of our common stock, or reduced estimates of future cash flows or disruptions to our business, will not result in impairments to goodwill or other intangibles, such as our core deposit intangibles.  If our analysis results in impairment to goodwill or other intangibles, we would be required to record an impairment charge to earnings in our financial statements during the period in which such impairment is determined to exist. Any such change could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and stock price.

        Unpredictable future developments related to or resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Because there have been no comparable recent global pandemics that resulted in a similar global impact, we do not yet know the full extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s  effects on our business, operations, or the global economy as a whole. Any future development will be highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, the effectiveness of our work from home arrangements, third party providers’ ability to support our operation, and any actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.  We are continuing to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and related risks, although the rapid development and fluidity of the situation precludes any specific prediction as to its ultimate impact on us. However, if the pandemic continues to spread or otherwise results in a continuation or worsening of the current economic and commercial environments, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as well as our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios could be materially adversely affected and many of the risks described in our 2019 Form 10-K will be heightened.
