NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION    
PacWest Bancorp, a Delaware corporation, is a bank holding company registered under the BHCA, with our corporate headquarters located in Beverly Hills, California. Our principal business is to serve as the holding company for our wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific Western Bank. References to "Pacific Western" or the "Bank" refer to Pacific Western Bank together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries. References to "we," "us," or the "Company" refer to PacWest Bancorp together with its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. When we refer to "PacWest" or to the "holding company," we are referring to PacWest Bancorp, the parent company, on a stand-alone basis.
We are focused on relationship-based business banking to small, middle-market and venture-backed businesses nationwide. The Bank offers a broad range of loan and lease and deposit products and services through 69 full-service branches located in California, one branch located in Durham, North Carolina, one branch located in Denver, Colorado, and numerous loan production offices across the country. The Bank provides community banking products including lending and comprehensive deposit and treasury management services to small and medium-sized businesses conducted primarily through our California-based branch offices and Denver, Colorado branch office. The Bank offers national lending products including asset-based, equipment, and real estate loans and treasury management services to established middle-market businesses on a national basis. The Bank provides venture banking products including a comprehensive suite of financial services focused on entrepreneurial and venture-backed businesses and their venture capital and private equity investors, with offices located in key innovation hubs across the United States. The Bank also offers financing of business-purpose, non-owner-occupied investor properties through Civic, a wholly-owned subsidiary. The Bank also provides a specialized suite of services for the HOA industry. In addition, we provide investment advisory and asset management services to select clients through Pacific Western Asset Management Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank and an SEC-registered investment adviser.
We generate our revenue primarily from interest received on loans and leases and, to a lesser extent, from interest received on investment securities, and fees received in connection with deposit services, extending credit and other services offered, including treasury management and investment management services. Our major operating expenses are interest paid by the Bank on deposits and borrowings, compensation, occupancy, and general operating expenses.
Significant Accounting Policies
Our accounting policies are described in Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Form 10-K").
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2022
Effective January 1, 2022, the Company partially adopted ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326),” specifically the amendment related to the vintage disclosures, which requires creditors that are public entities to disclose current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of ASC 326-20, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses – Measured at Amortized Cost.” The amendment also eliminates the disclosure of gross recoveries by year of origination previously presented in Example 15 in ASC 326-20-50-79, since it is not required under the guidance in ASC 326-20-50-6. The Company updated the vintage table disclosure in Note 4. Loans and Leases to present only current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Basis of Presentation    
Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual consolidated financial statements are omitted. In the opinion of management, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated and adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals and considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim periods, have been included. The current period's results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that ultimately may be achieved for the year. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K.

PACWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Use of Estimates
We have made a number of estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period to prepare these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates subject to change in the near term include, among other items, the allowance for credit losses (the combination of the allowance for loan and lease losses and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments), the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets, and the realization of deferred tax assets. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustment may be significant.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation format. On the consolidated statements of earnings, new lines are presented for "Dividends and gains (losses) on equity investments" and "Warrant income," as those categories exceeded the disclosure materiality threshold in the fourth quarter of 2021, which previously had been included as part of "Other income."
NOTE 2. RESTRICTED CASH BALANCES
The FRBSF establishes cash reserve requirements that its member banks must maintain based on a percentage of deposit liabilities. There were no average reserves required to be held at the FRBSF for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we pledged cash collateral for our derivative contracts of $2.0 million.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had not recorded an allowance for credit losses on securities available-for-sale. The Company does not consider unrealized losses on such securities to be attributable to credit-related factors, as the unrealized losses have occurred as a result of changes in non-credit related factors such as interest rates, market spreads, and market conditions subsequent to purchase.
As of March 31, 2022, securities available-for-sale with a fair value of $558.0 million were pledged as collateral for public deposits and other purposes as required by various statutes and agreements.

The securities that were in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2022, were considered impaired and required further review to determine if the unrealized losses were credit-related. We concluded the unrealized losses were a result of the level of market interest rates relative to the types of securities and pricing changes caused by shifting supply and demand dynamics and not a result of downgraded credit ratings or other indicators of deterioration of the underlying issuers' ability to repay. We also considered the seniority of the tranches and U.S. government agency guarantees, if any, to assess whether an unrealized loss was credit-related. Accordingly, we determined the unrealized losses were not credit-related and recognized the unrealized losses in "other comprehensive income (loss)" in stockholders' equity. Although we periodically sell securities for portfolio management purposes, we do not foresee having to sell any impaired securities strictly for liquidity needs and believe that it is more likely than not we would not be required to sell any impaired securities before recovery of their amortized cost.

CMBS, CMOs, and MBS have contractual maturity dates, but require periodic payments based upon scheduled amortization terms. Actual principal collections on these securities usually occur more rapidly than the scheduled amortization terms because of prepayments made by obligors of the underlying loan collateral.

NOTE 4.  LOANS AND LEASES
Our loans are carried at the principal amount outstanding, net of deferred fees and costs, and in the case of acquired and purchased loans, net of purchase discounts and premiums. Deferred fees and costs and purchase discounts and premiums on acquired loans are recognized as an adjustment to interest income over the contractual life of the loans primarily using the effective interest method or taken into income when the related loans are paid off or included in the carrying amount of loans that are sold.

It is our policy to discontinue accruing interest when principal or interest payments are past due 90 days or more (unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection) or when, in the opinion of management, there is a reasonable doubt as to the collectability of a loan or lease in the normal course of business. Interest income on nonaccrual loans is recognized only to the extent cash is received and the principal balance of the loan is deemed collectable.

TDRs are a result of rate reductions, term extensions, fee concessions, transfers to foreclosed assets, discounted loan payoffs, and debt forgiveness, or a combination thereof. The Company granted various commercial and consumer loan modifications to provide borrowers relief from the economic impacts of COVID-19. In accordance with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act, the Company elected to not apply TDR classification to COVID-19 related loan modifications that met all of the requisite criteria as stipulated in the CARES Act during its applicable period beginning on March 1, 2020 and ending on January 1, 2022. The following table presents our troubled debt restructurings of loans held for investment by loan portfolio segment and class for the periods indicated:

Leases Receivable
We provide equipment financing to our customers primarily with operating and direct financing leases. For direct financing leases, lease receivables are recorded on the balance sheet but the leased equipment is not, although we generally retain legal title to the leased equipment until the end of each lease. Direct financing leases are stated at the net amount of minimum lease payments receivable, plus any unguaranteed residual value, less the amount of unearned income and net acquisition discount at the reporting date. Direct lease origination costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the leases. Direct financing leases are subject to our accounting for allowance for loan and lease losses. See Note 8. Leases for information regarding operating leases where we are the lessor.
The following table provides the components of leases receivable income for the periods indicated:

The allowance for loan and lease losses decreased by $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2022 to $197.4 million due primarily to a provision for loan and lease losses benefit of $2.0 million driven by improvement in loan portfolio credit quality metrics combined with changes in our loan portfolio composition, offset partially by increased provisions for unfunded commitments and loan growth.
We actively participated in both rounds of the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"), under the provisions of the CARES Act during 2020 and 2021, originating $1.65 billion of such loans. As of March 31, 2022, PPP loans totaled $70.4 million, net of deferred fees. The loans have two or five year terms, are fully guaranteed by the SBA, and do not carry an allowance.
A loan is considered collateral-dependent, and is individually evaluated for reserve purposes, when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral.

NOTE 6.  GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET
Goodwill and other intangible assets arise from the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Goodwill and other intangible assets generated from business combinations and deemed to have indefinite lives are not subject to amortization and instead are tested for impairment annually unless a triggering event occurs thereby requiring an updated assessment. Our regular annual impairment assessment occurs in the fourth quarter. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets and other identifiable intangible assets acquired. Impairment exists when the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its fair value. An impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to that excess as a charge to "Noninterest expense" in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings.
Our other intangible assets with definite lives are CDI and CRI. CDI and CRI are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment at least quarterly. The amortization expense represents the estimated decline in the value of the underlying deposits or customer relationships acquired.

Total$10,221,087 $9,352,119 
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement that the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.
Commitments to extend credit are contractual agreements to lend to our customers when customers are in compliance with their contractual credit agreements and when customers have contractual availability to borrow under such agreements. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The estimated exposure to loss from these commitments is included in the reserve for unfunded loan commitments, which amounted to $75.1 million at March 31, 2022 and $73.1 million at December 31, 2021.
36



PACWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. We provide standby letters of credit in conjunction with several of our lending arrangements and property lease obligations. Most guarantees expire within one year from the date of issuance. If a borrower defaults on its commitments subject to any letter of credit issued under these arrangements, we would be required to meet the borrower's financial obligation but would seek repayment of that financial obligation from the borrower. In some cases, borrowers have pledged cash and investment securities as collateral under these arrangements.
In addition, we invest in SBICs that call for capital contributions up to an amount specified in the partnership agreements, and in CRA-related loan pools. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had commitments to contribute capital to these entities totaling $84.8 million and $85.9 million.

Legal Matters
In the ordinary course of our business, the Company is party to various legal actions, which we believe are incidental to the operation of our business. The outcome of such legal actions and the timing of ultimate resolution are inherently difficult to predict. In the opinion of management, based upon currently available information, any resulting liability, in addition to amounts already accrued, and taking into consideration insurance which may be applicable, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements or operations. The range of any reasonably possible liabilities is also not significant.

NOTE 12.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company uses fair value to measure certain assets and liabilities on a recurring basis, primarily securities available-for-sale and derivatives. For assets measured at the lower of cost or fair value, the fair value measurement criteria may or may not be met during a reporting period and such measurements are therefore considered “nonrecurring” for purposes of disclosing our fair value measurements. Fair value is used on a nonrecurring basis to adjust carrying values for individually evaluated loans and leases and other real estate owned and also to record impairment on certain assets, such as goodwill, CDI, and other long-lived assets.
For information regarding the valuation methodologies used to measure our assets recorded at fair value (under ASC Topic 820), and for estimating fair value for financial instruments not recorded at fair value (under ASC Topic 825, as amended by ASU 2016-01 and ASU 2018-03), see Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 15. Fair Value Measurements, to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company's Form 10-K.
The Company also holds SBIC investments measured at fair value using the NAV per share practical expedient that are not required to be classified in the fair value hierarchy. At March 31, 2022, the fair value of these investments was $50.6 million.
The following tables present information on the assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates indicated:

Limitations
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and are based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect income taxes or any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on what management believes to be reasonable judgments regarding expected future cash flows, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimated fair values 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 estimates. Since the fair values have been estimated as of March 31, 2022, the amounts that will actually be realized or paid at settlement or maturity of the instruments could be significantly different.

NOTE 15.  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
At the annual meeting of stockholders held on May 11, 2021, the Company's stockholders approved the Amended and Restated PacWest Bancorp 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated 2017 Plan”). The Company’s Amended and Restated 2017 Plan permits stock-based compensation awards to officers, directors, employees, and consultants and will remain in effect until December 31, 2026. The Amended and Restated 2017 Plan authorizes grants of stock-based compensation instruments to issue up to 6,650,000 shares. As of March 31, 2022, there were 2,905,529 shares available for grant under the Amended and Restated 2017 Plan.
Restricted Stock
Restricted stock amortization totaled $7.6 million and $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. Such amounts are included in "Compensation expense" on the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. The amount of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested TRSAs and PRSUs as of March 31, 2022 totaled $67.3 million.
Time-Based Restricted Stock Awards
At March 31, 2022, there were 2,154,646 shares of unvested TRSAs outstanding. TRSAs generally vest ratably over a service period of three or four years from the date of the grant or immediately upon death of an employee. Compensation expense related to TRSAs is based on the fair value of the underlying award on the grant date and is recognized over the vesting period using the straight-line method.
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
At March 31, 2022, there were 505,647 units of unvested PRSUs that have been granted. The PRSUs will vest only if performance goals with respect to certain financial metrics are met over a three-year performance period. The shares underlying the PRSUs are not considered issued and outstanding until they vest. PRSUs are granted and initially expensed based on a target number. The number of shares that will ultimately vest based on actual performance will range from zero to a maximum of either 150% or 200% of target.
Compensation expense related to PRSUs is based on the fair value of the underlying award on the grant date and is amortized over the vesting period using the straight-line method unless it is determined that: (1) attainment of the financial metrics is less than probable, in which case a portion or all of the amortization is suspended, or (2) attainment of the financial metrics is improbable, in which case a portion or all of the previously recognized amortization is reversed and also suspended. If it is determined that attainment of a financial measure higher than target is probable, the amortization will increase to up to 150% or 200% of the target amortization amount. Annual PRSU expense may vary during the three-year performance period based upon changes in management's estimate of the number of shares that may ultimately vest. In the case where the performance target for the PRSU is based on a market condition (such as total shareholder return), the amortization is neither reversed nor suspended if it is subsequently determined that the attainment of the performance target is less than probable or improbable and the employee continues to meet the service requirement of the award.

EffectiveEffect on the Financial Statements
StandardDescriptionDateor Other Significant Matters
ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)" and ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope)"
This standard provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to loan and lease agreements, derivative contracts, and other agreements affected by the anticipated transition away from LIBOR toward new interest reference rates. For agreements that are modified because of reference rate reform and that meet certain scope guidance: (i) modifications of loan agreements should be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate and the modification will be considered “minor” so that any existing unamortized origination fees/costs would carry forward and continue to be amortized and (ii) modifications of lease agreements should be accounted for as a continuation of the existing agreement with no reassessments of the lease classification and the discount rate or remeasurements of lease payments that otherwise would be required for modifications not accounted for as separate contracts. Additionally, the amendments in ASU 2021-01 clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by 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. ASU 2020-04 is effective immediately, as of March 12, 2020, and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into on or before December 31, 2022. ASU 2021-01 is also effective immediately. Entities may elect to apply the amendments 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 January 7, 2021 and up to December 31, 2022.
Effective upon the issuance date of March 12, 2020, and once adopted, will apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into on or before December 31, 2022.
The Company has established a cross-functional project team and implementation plan to facilitate the LIBOR transition.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company permanently ceased originating any new loans or entering into any transaction that would increase its LIBOR-based exposure. For all new variable-rate and hybrid loans, the Company primarily offers Prime and SOFR as the variable-rate index, but may consider alternate rates such as the American Interbank Offered Rate (“Ameribor”) and others based on market conditions and/or the type of loan or financial instrument.
The Company has completed its readiness efforts to identify loans and other financial instruments that are impacted by the discontinuance of LIBOR. The Company has also completed its review for fallback language contained in contracts for LIBOR-based loans and other financial instruments and has begun to execute a transition plan to amend those legacy contracts maturing after June 30, 2023 that do not have or have inadequate fallback language by adding fallback language or to convert the base rate of the contract to a SOFR-based rate or another rate or index offered by the Company.
The Company will also continue to assess impacts to its operations, financial models, data and technology as part of our transition plan. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this Update on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect it to have a material impact.

ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers
This standard requires that an entity (acquirer) recognizes and measures contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. At acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts with customers in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts. The acquirer should consider the terms of the acquired contracts, such as timing of payment, identify each performance obligation in the contracts and allocate the total transaction price to each identified performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis as of contract inception or contract modification to determine what should be recorded at the acquisition date. The amendments improve comparability by providing consistent recognition and measurement guidance for revenue contracts with customers whether they are acquired and not acquired in a business combination. The amendments should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date. Additionally, early adoption is permitted.

The Company will apply the amendments prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

This standard eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) by creditors, in ASC 310-40, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for restructurings involving borrowers that are experiencing financial difficulty. Additionally, the amendments in this standard eliminate inconsistency in previous guidance by requiring creditors that are public business entities to disclose current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases, but eliminates the disclosure of gross recoveries by year of origination previously presented in Example 15 in ASC 326-20-50-79.
An entity may elect to adopt the amendments on TDRs and related disclosure enhancements separately from the amendments relating to vintage disclosures. The amendments should be applied prospectively except as provided in the next sentence. For amendments related to the recognition and measurement of TDRs, an entity has the option to apply the amendments either prospectively or through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption using the modified retrospective transition method. Additionally, early adoption is permitted.

Overview
PacWest Bancorp, a Delaware corporation, is a bank holding company registered under the BHCA, with our corporate headquarters located in Beverly Hills, California. Our principal business is to serve as the holding company for our wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific Western Bank. References to "Pacific Western" or the "Bank" refer to Pacific Western Bank together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries. References to "we," "us," or the "Company" refer to PacWest Bancorp together with its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. When we refer to "PacWest" or to the "holding company," we are referring to PacWest Bancorp, the parent company, on a stand-alone basis.
In managing the top line of our business, we focus on loan growth, loan yield, deposit cost, and net interest margin. Net interest income, on a year-to-date basis in 2022, accounted for 93.7% of net revenue (net interest income plus noninterest income).
At March 31, 2022, the Company had total assets of $39.2 billion, including $24.4 billion of total loans and leases, net of deferred fees, $10.0 billion of securities available-for-sale, and $1.9 billion of interest-earning deposits in financial institutions compared to $40.4 billion of total assets, including $22.9 billion of total loans and leases, net of deferred fees, $10.7 billion of securities available-for-sale, and $3.9 billion of interest-earning deposits in financial institutions at December 31, 2021. The $1.2 billion decrease in total assets since year-end was due primarily to a $2.1 billion decrease in interest-earning deposits in financial institutions and a $719.3 million decrease in securities available-for-sale, offset partially by a $1.4 billion increase in loans and leases, net of deferred fees. The decrease in investment securities was due primarily to a decline in fair value as the portfolio had a net pre-tax unrealized gain of $90.9 million at December 31, 2021 that decreased to a net pre-tax unrealized loss of $519.0 million at March 31, 2022.
At March 31, 2022, the Company had total liabilities of $35.6 billion, including total deposits of $33.2 billion and borrowings of $991.0 million, compared to $36.4 billion of total liabilities, including $35.0 billion of total deposits and no borrowings at December 31, 2021. The $844.7 million decrease in total liabilities since year-end was due mainly to decreases of $1.1 billion in core deposits and $567.2 million in non-core non-maturity deposits, offset partially by an increase in overnight borrowings of $991.0 million. The decrease in core deposits was due primarily to a decline in balances from our venture banking clients of $1.5 billion, offset partially by an increase in community banking and national lending deposits of $415 million. At March 31, 2022, core deposits totaled $31.7 billion, or 95% of total deposits, including $14.1 billion of noninterest-bearing demand deposits, or 42% of total deposits.
50


At March 31, 2022, the Company had total stockholders' equity of $3.7 billion compared to $4.0 billion at December 31, 2021. The $349.0 million decrease in stockholders' equity since year-end was due mainly to a $442.4 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) due to the investment securities portfolio going from a net unrealized gain of $66.0 million to a net unrealized loss of $376.5 million, and $29.8 million of cash dividends paid, offset partially by $120.1 million in net earnings. Consolidated capital ratios decreased given the increase in risk-weighted assets of $1.8 billion, primarily from loan growth, resulting in common equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital, and total capital ratios of 8.64%, 9.07%, and 12.27% at March 31, 2022.
Recent Events
Stock Repurchase Program
On February 15, 2022, PacWest's Board of Directors authorized a new Stock Repurchase Program, effective March 1, 2022, to repurchase shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $100 million with a program maturity date of February 28, 2023.
Key Performance Indicators
Among other factors, our operating results generally depend on the following key performance indicators:
The Level of Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the excess of interest earned on our interest-earning assets over the interest paid on our interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is net interest income (annualized if related to a quarterly period) expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. Tax equivalent net interest income is net interest income increased by an adjustment for tax-exempt interest on certain loans and investment securities based on a 21% federal statutory tax rate. Tax equivalent net interest margin is calculated as tax equivalent net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets.
Net interest income is affected by changes in both interest rates and the volume of average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Our primary interest-earning assets are loans and investment securities, and our primary interest-bearing liabilities are deposits and borrowings. Contributing to our strong net interest margin is our strong yield on loans and leases and competitive cost of deposits. While our deposit balances will fluctuate depending on deposit holders’ perceptions of alternative yields available in the market, we seek to minimize the impact of these variances by attracting a high percentage of noninterest-bearing deposits.
Loan and Lease Growth
We actively seek new lending opportunities under an array of lending products. Our lending activities include real estate mortgage loans, real estate construction and land loans, commercial loans and leases, and a small amount of consumer lending. Our commercial real estate loans and real estate construction loans are secured by a range of property types. Our commercial loans and leases portfolio is diverse and generally includes various asset-secured loans, equipment-secured loans and leases, venture capital loans to support venture capital firms’ operations and the operations of entrepreneurial and venture-backed companies during the various phases of their early life cycles, and secured business loans.
Our loan origination process emphasizes credit quality. To augment our internal loan production, we have historically purchased loans such as multi-family loans from other banks, private student loans from third-party lenders, and, most recently, single-family residential mortgage loans. Prior to our acquisition of Civic, we also purchased loans from Civic. These loan purchases help us manage the concentrations in our portfolio as they diversify the geographic, interest-rate risk, credit risk, and product composition of our loan portfolio. Achieving net loan growth is subject to many factors, including maintaining strict credit standards, competition from other lenders, and borrowers that opt to prepay loans.
51


The Magnitude of Credit Losses
We emphasize credit quality in originating and monitoring our loans and leases, and we measure our success by the levels of our classified loans and leases, nonaccrual loans and leases, and net charge-offs. We maintain an allowance for credit losses on loans and leases, which is the sum of the allowance for loan and lease losses and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments. Provisions for credit losses are charged to operations as and when needed for both on and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Loans and leases that are deemed uncollectable are charged off and deducted from the allowance for loan and lease losses. Recoveries on loans and leases previously charged off are added to the allowance for loan and lease losses. The provision for credit losses on the loan and lease portfolio is based on our allowance methodology, which considers the impact of assumptions and is reflective of historical experience, economic forecasts viewed to be reasonable and supportable by management, the current loan and lease composition, and relative credit risks known as of the balance sheet date. For originated and acquired credit-deteriorated loans, a provision for credit losses may be recorded to reflect credit deterioration after the origination date or after the acquisition date, respectively.
We regularly review loans and leases to determine whether there has been any deterioration in credit quality resulting from borrower operations or changes in collateral value or other factors which may affect collectability of our loans and leases. Changes in economic conditions, such as the rate of economic growth, the unemployment rate, rate of inflation, increases in the general level of interest rates, declines in real estate values, changes in commodity prices, and adverse conditions in borrowers’ businesses, could negatively impact our borrowers and cause us to adversely classify loans and leases. An increase in classified loans and leases generally results in increased provisions for credit losses and an increased allowance for credit losses. Any deterioration in the commercial real estate market may lead to increased provisions for credit losses because our loans are concentrated in commercial real estate loans.
The Level of Noninterest Expense
Our noninterest expense includes fixed and controllable overhead, the largest components of which are compensation and occupancy expense. It also includes costs that tend to vary based on the volume of activity, such as loan and lease production and the number and complexity of foreclosed assets. We measure success in controlling both fixed and variable costs through monitoring of the efficiency ratio, which is calculated by dividing noninterest expense (less intangible asset amortization, net foreclosed assets expense (income), goodwill impairment, and acquisition, integration and reorganization costs) by net revenues (the sum of tax equivalent net interest income plus noninterest income, less gain (loss) on sale of securities and gain (loss) on sales of assets other than loans and leases).

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our accounting policies are fundamental to understanding management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition. We identify critical policies and estimates as those that require management to make particularly difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. These policies and estimates relate to the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases held for investment, the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets, and the realization of deferred income tax assets and liabilities.
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Form 10-K.

Non-GAAP Measurements
We use 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. The methodology for determining these non-GAAP measures may differ among companies. We used the following non-GAAP measures in this Form 10-Q:
Return on average tangible equity, tangible common equity ratio, and tangible book value per share: Given that the use of these measures is prevalent among banking regulators, investors, and analysts, we disclose them in addition to the related GAAP measures of return on average equity, equity to assets ratio, and book value per share, respectively. The reconciliations of these non-GAAP measurements to the GAAP measurements are presented in the following tables for and as of the periods presented.

First Quarter of 2022 Compared to First Quarter of 2021
Net earnings for the first quarter of 2022 were $120.1 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, compared to net earnings for the first quarter of 2021 of $150.4 million, or $1.27 per diluted share. The $30.3 million decrease in net earnings from the year-ago quarter was due mainly to a higher provision for credit losses of $48.0 million, lower noninterest income of $24.0 million and higher operating expense of $17.3 million, offset partially by higher net interest income of $47.4 million and lower income tax expense of $11.6 million. The increase in the provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2022 from the year-ago quarter was due to no provision in the first quarter of 2022 compared to a provision benefit of $48.0 million in the first quarter of 2021 as there were improvements in certain key macro-economic forecast variables in the first quarter of 2021. Noninterest income decreased primarily due to a $22.3 million decrease in dividends and gains on equity investments and a $5.5 million decrease in warrant income due to less capital markets activity in the first quarter of 2022. Noninterest expense increased primarily due to an increase of $12.4 million in compensation expense, due mostly to the incremental expense of the higher headcount in 2022 from the acquired operations of Civic and the HOA Business. Net interest income increased due mainly to higher income on investment securities and loans and leases due primarily to higher average balances. The decrease in income tax expense was due primarily to lower pre-tax earnings in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the year-ago quarter.

First Quarter of 2022 Compared to First Quarter of 2021
Net interest income increased by $47.4 million to $308.7 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to $261.3 million for the first quarter of 2021 due mainly to higher income on loans and leases and investment securities attributable to higher average balances, offset partially by lower yields on average loans and leases and average investment securities. The tax-equivalent yield on investment securities was 2.17% for the first quarter of 2022, compared to 2.44% for the same quarter of 2021. The tax equivalent yield on average loans and leases was 4.66% for the first quarter of 2022, compared to 5.20% for the same quarter of 2021.
The tax equivalent NIM was 3.43% for the first quarter of 2022 compared to 3.69% for the comparable quarter last year. The decrease in the tax equivalent NIM was due mostly to the lower yields on average loans and leases and average investment securities, offset partially by the change in the mix of average interest-earning assets driven by the increase in the balance of average loans and leases and investment securities as a percentage of average interest-earning assets from 84% to 92% and the decrease in the balance of average deposits in financial institutions as a percentage of average interest-earning assets from 16% to 8%. The balance of average loans and leases increased by $4.5 billion, the balance of average investment securities increased by $5.0 billion, and the balance of average deposits in financial institutions declined by $1.7 billion.
The cost of average total deposits decreased to 0.07% for the first quarter of 2022 from 0.11% for the first quarter of 2021 due mainly to lower rates paid on deposits in conjunction with decreased market rates.

Provisions for credit losses are charged to earnings for both the allowance for loan and lease losses and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments (collectively, the allowance for credit losses). The provision for credit losses on our loans and leases held for investment is based on our allowance methodology and is an expense that, in our judgment, is required to maintain an adequate allowance for credit losses. For further details on our allowance for credit losses methodology, see “- Balance Sheet Analysis - Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases Held for Investment” contained herein.
There was no provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2022 compared to a provision benefit of $48.0 million for the first quarter of 2021. During the first quarter of 2022, continued credit quality improvement combined with the changes in our loan portfolio composition, offset by the provision need for growth in loans and unfunded commitments, resulted in no provision for the quarter. During the first quarter of 2021, a provision benefit was recorded as a result of improvement in both macro-economic forecast variables and loan portfolio credit quality metrics.
Certain circumstances may lead to increased provisions for credit losses in the future. Examples of such circumstances include deterioration in economic conditions and forecasts, an increased amount of classified and/or criticized loans and leases, and net loan and lease and unfunded commitment growth. Deterioration in economic conditions and forecasts include the rate of economic growth, the unemployment rate, the rate of inflation, changes in the general level of interest rates, changes in real estate values, and adverse conditions in borrowers’ businesses.

First Quarter of 2022 Compared to First Quarter of 2021
Noninterest income decreased by $24.0 million to $20.8 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to $44.8 million for the first quarter of 2021 due mainly to decreases of $5.5 million in warrant income and $22.3 million in dividends and gains (losses) on equity investments. Both of these items decreased in the first quarter of 2022 due to decreased capital market activity and volatility resulting from geopolitical tensions and inflationary pressures. Warrant income decreased due principally to fewer gains from exercised warrants, driven by the less active capital markets. The decrease in dividends and gains (losses) on equity investments was due primarily to lower gains on sales of equity investments, higher fair value losses on equity investments still held, and lower income distributions and fair value marks on SBIC investments. The net realized and unrealized losses on equity investments were $12.2 million in the first quarter of 2022, with one equity investment accounting for $7.5 million of the total net losses. As of March 31, 2022, we held six equity investments with a carrying value of $8.8 million, two of which were sold in April reducing the balance to $0.1 million.

Noninterest expense increased by $17.3 million to $167.4 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to $150.1 million for the first quarter of 2021 due primarily to an increase of $12.4 million in compensation expense, an increase of $7.8 million in customer related expense, and an increase of $2.7 million in data processing expense due mostly to the incremental expense related to the increased headcount and operations in 2022 due to the Civic and HOA Business operations that were acquired in 2021. These increases were partially offset by a $3.4 million increase in foreclosed assets income due mostly to a $3.2 million gain on the sale of our largest foreclosed asset in the first quarter of 2022.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2022 was 25.9% compared to 26.3% for the first quarter of 2021. The Company’s blended statutory tax rate for federal and state is 27.5% and the effective tax rate for the full year 2022 is estimated to be in the range of 25-27%.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases Held for Investment
The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases held for investment is the combination of the allowance for loan and lease losses and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments. The allowance for loan and lease losses is reported as a reduction of the amortized cost basis of loans and leases, while the reserve for unfunded loan commitments is included within "Accrued interest payable and other liabilities" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The amortized cost basis of loans and leases does not include interest receivable, which is included in "Other assets" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The "Provision for credit losses" on the condensed consolidated statement of earnings is a combination of the provision for loan and lease losses and the provision for unfunded loan commitments.
Under the CECL methodology, expected credit losses reflect losses over the remaining contractual life of an asset, considering the effect of prepayments and available information about the collectability of cash flows, including information about relevant historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future events and circumstances. Thus, the CECL methodology incorporates a broad range of information in developing credit loss estimates.
For further information regarding the calculation of the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases held for investment using the CECL methodology, see Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of our Form 10-K.
In calculating our allowance for credit losses, we continued to consider the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic as well as recent increases in inflation and the Russia-Ukraine conflict in our process for estimating expected credit losses given the changes in economic forecasts and assumptions along with the uncertainty related to the severity and duration of the economic consequences resulting from such events. Our methodology and framework along with the 4-quarter reasonable and supportable forecast period and 2-quarter reversion period have remained consistent since the implementation of CECL on January 1, 2020. Certain management assumptions are reassessed every quarter based on current expectations for credit losses, while other assumptions are assessed and updated on at least an annual basis.
In the first quarter of 2022, we used the Moody’s Consensus Forecast dated March 10, 2022 for the calculation of our quantitative component, which is consistent with each of the quarters in 2021. The economic forecast was relatively consistent with the prior quarter; however, the quantitative component of the allowance for credit losses increased due to provisions for net loan growth.
As part of our allowance for credit losses methodology, we consistently incorporate the use of qualitative factors in determining the overall allowance for credit losses to capture risks that may not be adequately reflected in our quantitative models. During the first quarter of 2021, we added qualitative components that were based on management’s assessment of various qualitative factors such as economic conditions and collateral dependency. These qualitative components were primarily related to certain loan portfolios including hotels, retail, and office properties that were more directly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and may react more slowly to the improvements in the general economic conditions. These sectors may see a slower economic recovery to pre-pandemic levels due to changes in consumer behavior such as less business travel due to more virtual meetings, more online shopping versus in person shopping, or the potential for more permanent shifts to remote or hybrid working arrangements. Additionally, small businesses in these sectors may face greater challenges once debt relief and PPP funding is exhausted. Throughout 2021, these qualitative adjustments were updated based on evolving forecasts of property values and the pace of recovery for small businesses. During the first quarter of 2022, forecasted property values for hotels, retail, and office properties improved and, therefore, our pandemic-specific qualitative adjustments were decreased.
The decrease in qualitative adjustments were offset by an increase in the quantitative reserve for net loan growth and, as a result, no credit loss provision was recognized during the first quarter of 2022. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans and leases held for investment decreased slightly due to loan growth in lending areas with lower credit risk and is consistent with improvements in credit quality and minimal charge-offs.

The use of different economic forecasts, whether based on different scenarios, the use of multiple or single scenarios, or updated economic forecasts and scenarios, can change the outcome of the calculations. In addition to the economic forecasts, there are numerous components and assumptions that are integral to the overall estimation of allowance for credit losses. As part of our allowance for credit losses process, sensitivity analyses are performed to assess the impact of how changing certain assumptions could impact the estimated allowance for credit losses. At times, these analyses can provide information to further assist management in making decisions on certain assumptions. We calculated alternative values for our March 31, 2022 ACL using various alternative forecast scenarios provided by Moody’s including Moody's Baseline, S5 Slower Trend Growth, and Russia-Ukraine Lengthy Conflict and the calculated amounts for the quantitative component differed from the Consensus Forecast ranging from lower by 0.31% to higher by 3.89%. However, changing one assumption and not reassessing other assumptions used in the quantitative or qualitative process could yield results that are not reasonable or appropriate, hence all assumptions and information must be considered. From a sensitivity analysis perspective, changing key assumptions such as the macro-economic variable inputs from the economic forecasts, the reasonable and supportable forecast period, prepayment rates, loan segmentation, historical loss factors and/or periods, among others, would all change the outcome of the quantitative components of the allowance for credit losses. Those results would then need to be assessed from a qualitative perspective potentially requiring further adjustments to the qualitative component to arrive at a reasonable and appropriate allowance for credit losses.
The determination of the allowance for credit losses is complex and highly dependent on numerous models, assumptions, and judgments made by management. Management's current expectation for credit losses as quantified in the allowance for credit losses considers the impact of assumptions and is reflective of historical credit experience, economic forecasts viewed to be reasonable and supportable, current loan and lease composition, and relative credit risks known as of the balance sheet date.
Management believes the allowance for credit losses is appropriate for the current expected credit losses in our loan and lease portfolio and associated unfunded commitments, and the credit risk ratings and inherent loss rates currently assigned are reasonable and appropriate as of the reporting date. It is possible that others, given the same information, may at any point in time reach different conclusions that could result in a significant impact to the Company's financial statements.

During the first quarter of 2022, total deposits decreased by $1.8 billion to $33.2 billion, due primarily to declines of $1.1 billion in core deposits and $567.2 million in non-core non-maturity deposits. The decrease in core deposits in the first quarter of 2022 was driven primarily by a decrease in balances from our venture banking clients of $1.5 billion, offset partially by an increase in deposits from our community banking and national lending clients of $415 million. The decrease in non-core non-maturity deposits of $0.6 billion included the planned maturity of a $0.5 billion wholesale deposit. At March 31, 2022, core deposits totaled $31.7 billion, or 95% of total deposits, including $14.1 billion of noninterest-bearing demand deposits, or 42% of total deposits.

Classified and special mention loans and leases fluctuate from period to period as a result of loan repayments and downgrades or upgrades from our ongoing active portfolio management.
During the first quarter of 2022, classified loans and leases decreased by $34.0 million to $82.1 million at March 31, 2022 due mostly to decreases of $26.7 million in commercial real estate mortgage loans and $12.7 million in other commercial loans, offset partially by an increase of $5.1 million in residential real estate mortgage loans. Classified loans and leases peaked in the second quarter of 2020 at $293.2 million.
During the first quarter of 2022, special mention loans and leases decreased by $14.3 million to $377.3 million at March 31, 2022 due mainly to decreases of $23.6 million in commercial real estate mortgage loans, $17.9 million in asset-based loans and $6.4 million in residential real estate mortgage loans, offset partially by increases of $22.3 million in venture capital loans and $14.1 million in commercial real estate construction and land loans. Special mention loans and leases peaked in the first quarter of 2020 at $898.7 million, as we proactively downgraded certain loans at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Regulatory Matters
Capital
Bank regulatory agencies measure capital adequacy through standardized risk-based capital guidelines that compare different levels of capital (as defined by such guidelines) to risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet obligations. At March 31, 2022, banks considered to be “well capitalized” must maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.00%, a minimum common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.50%, a minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.00%, and a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 10.00%.
Regulatory capital requirements limit the amount of deferred tax assets that may be included when determining the amount of regulatory capital. Deferred tax asset amounts in excess of the calculated limit are disallowed from regulatory capital. At March 31, 2022, such disallowed amounts were $8,000 for the Company and $37.9 million for the Bank. No assurance can be given that the regulatory capital deferred tax asset limitation will not increase in the future or that the Company or Bank will not have increased deferred tax assets that are disallowed.
Basel III currently requires all banking organizations to maintain a 2.50% capital conservation buffer above the minimum risk-based capital requirements 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. Effective January 1, 2019, the common equity tier 1, tier 1, and total capital ratio minimums inclusive of the capital conservation buffer were 7.00%, 8.50%, and 10.50%. At March 31, 2022, the Company and Bank were in compliance with the capital conservation buffer requirement.
The Company and Bank elected the CECL 5-year regulatory transition guidance for calculating regulatory capital ratios and the March 31, 2022 ratios include this election. This regulatory guidance allows an entity to add back to capital 100% of the capital impact from the day one CECL transition adjustment and 25% of subsequent increases to the allowance for credit losses through December 31, 2022. This cumulative amount will then be phased out of regulatory capital over the next three years from 2023 to 2025. The add-back as of March 31, 2022 ranged from 0 basis points to 7 basis points for the capital ratios below.
The following tables present a comparison of our actual capital ratios to the minimum required ratios and well capitalized ratios as of the dates indicated:

Subordinated Debt
We issued or assumed through mergers subordinated debt to trusts that were established by us or entities we acquired, which, in turn, issued trust preferred securities. As of March 31, 2022, the carrying value of subordinated debt totaled $863.9 million. At March 31, 2022, $131.0 million of the trust preferred securities were included in the Company's Tier I capital and $718.8 million were included in Tier II capital.
Dividends on Common Stock and Interest on Subordinated Debt
As a bank holding company, PacWest is required to notify and receive approval from the FRB prior to declaring and paying a dividend to stockholders during any period in which quarterly and/or cumulative twelve-month net earnings are insufficient to fund the dividend amount, among other requirements. Interest payments made on subordinated debt are considered dividend payments under FRB regulations. We may not pay a dividend if the FRB objects or until such time as we receive approval from the FRB or we no longer need to provide notice under applicable regulations.
Liquidity
Liquidity Management
The goals of our liquidity management are to ensure the ability of the Company to meet its financial commitments when contractually due and to respond to other demands for funds such as the ability to meet the cash flow requirements of customers who may be either depositors wanting to withdraw funds or borrowers who have unfunded commitments. We have an Executive Management Asset/Liability Management Committee ("Executive ALM Committee") that is comprised of members of senior management and is responsible for managing commitments to meet the needs of customers while achieving our financial objectives. Our Executive ALM Committee meets regularly to review funding capacities, current and forecasted loan demand, and investment opportunities.
We manage our liquidity by maintaining pools of liquid assets on-balance sheet, consisting of cash and due from banks, interest-earning deposits in other financial institutions, and unpledged securities available-for-sale, which we refer to as our primary liquidity. We also maintain available borrowing capacity under secured credit lines with the FHLB and the FRBSF, which we refer to as our secondary liquidity.
74


As a member of the FHLB, the Bank had secured borrowing capacity with the FHLB of $3.6 billion at March 31, 2022, of which all but $629.0 million was available on that date. The FHLB secured credit line was collateralized by a blanket lien on $5.6 billion of certain qualifying loans. The Bank also had secured borrowing capacity with the FRBSF of $2.4 billion at March 31, 2022, all of which was available on that date. The FRBSF secured credit line was collateralized by liens on $2.9 billion of qualifying loans.
In addition to its secured lines of credit, the Bank also maintains unsecured lines of credit for the purpose of borrowing overnight funds, subject to availability, of $112.0 million with the FHLB and $180.0 million in the aggregate with several correspondent banks. As of March 31, 2022, there was a $112.0 million balance outstanding related to the FHLB unsecured line of credit. The Bank is a member of the AFX, through which it may either borrow or lend funds on an overnight or short-term basis with a group of pre-approved commercial banks. The availability of funds changes daily. As of March 31, 2022, the Bank had borrowed $250.0 million through the AFX.

Total secondary liquidity$5,355,185 $5,356,656 
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company's primary liquidity decreased by $2.7 billion to $11.5 billion at March 31, 2022 due mainly to a $2.1 billion decrease in interest-earning deposits in financial institutions and a $719.3 million decrease in securities available-for-sale. The Company's secondary liquidity was $5.4 billion at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
In addition to our primary liquidity, we generate liquidity from cash flows from our loan and securities portfolios and from our large base of core deposits, defined as noninterest-bearing demand, interest checking, savings, and non-brokered money market accounts. At March 31, 2022, core deposits totaled $31.7 billion and represented 95% of the Company's total deposits. Core deposits are normally less volatile, often with customer relationships tied to other products offered by the Bank promoting long-standing relationships and stable funding sources. See "- Balance Sheet Analysis - Deposits" for additional information and detail of our core deposits.
75


Our deposit balances may decrease if customers withdraw funds from the Bank. In order to address the Bank’s liquidity risk from fluctuating deposit balances, the Bank maintains adequate levels of available liquidity on and off the balance sheet.
We use brokered deposits, the availability of which is uncertain and subject to competitive market forces and regulation, for liquidity management purposes. At March 31, 2022, brokered deposits totaled $518.4 million, consisting primarily of $322.7 million of non-maturity brokered accounts and $195.6 million of brokered time deposits. At December 31, 2021, brokered deposits totaled $1.1 billion, consisting mainly of $890.0 million of non-maturity brokered accounts and $195.7 million of brokered time deposits.
Our liquidity policy includes guidelines for On-Balance Sheet Liquidity (a measurement of primary liquidity to total deposits plus borrowings), Liquidity Buffer Coverage Ratio (the ratio of cash and unpledged securities to the estimated 30 day cash outflow in a defined stress scenario), Liquidity Stress Test Survival Horizon (the number of days that the Bank’s liquidity buffer plus available secured borrowing capacity is sufficient to offset cumulative cash outflow in a defined stress scenario), Loan to Funding Ratio (measurement of gross loans net of fees divided by deposits plus borrowings), Wholesale Funding Ratio (measurement of wholesale funding divided by interest-earning assets), and other guidelines developed for measuring and maintaining liquidity. At March 31, 2022, the Bank was in compliance with all established liquidity guidelines.
Holding Company Liquidity
PacWest acts a source of financial strength for the Bank which can also include being a source of liquidity. The primary sources of liquidity for the holding company include dividends from the Bank, intercompany tax payments from the Bank, and PacWest's ability to raise capital, issue subordinated debt, and secure outside borrowings. PacWest's ability to obtain funds for the payment of dividends to our stockholders, the repurchase of shares of common stock, and other cash requirements is largely dependent upon the Bank’s earnings. The Bank is subject to restrictions under certain federal and state laws and regulations that limit its ability to transfer funds to the holding company through intercompany loans, advances, or cash dividends. PacWest's ability to pay dividends is also subject to the restrictions set forth in Delaware law, by the FRB, and by certain covenants contained in our subordinated debt. Approval by the FRB is required prior to our declaring and paying a cash dividend during any period in which our quarterly and/or cumulative twelve-month net earnings are insufficient to fund the dividend amount, among other requirements. PacWest may not pay a dividend if the FRB objects or until such time as we receive approval from the FRB or we no longer need to provide notice under applicable regulations. In addition, we may be restricted by applicable law or regulation or actions taken by our regulators, now or in the future, from paying dividends.
Dividends paid by California state-chartered banks are regulated by the FDIC for non-member banks and the DFPI under their general supervisory authority. The Bank may declare a dividend without the approval of the DFPI and FDIC as long as the total dividends declared in a calendar year do not exceed either the retained earnings or the total of net earnings for the three previous fiscal years less any dividends paid during such period. The Bank had a net loss of $155.3 million during the three fiscal years of 2021, 2020, and 2019, compared to dividends of $776.0 million paid by the Bank during that same period. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, PacWest received $33.0 million in dividends from the Bank. Since the Bank had an accumulated deficit of $1.4 billion at March 31, 2022, for the foreseeable future any dividends from the Bank to PacWest will continue to require DFPI and FDIC approval consistent with what has been required since 2008 when Bank first had an accumulated deficit triggered by goodwill impairment write-downs during the financial crisis of 2007-2008.
At March 31, 2022, PacWest had $173.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which substantially all was on deposit at the Bank. We believe this amount of cash, along with anticipated future dividends from the Bank, will be sufficient to fund the holding company’s cash flow needs over the next 12 months.
Stock Repurchase Program
On February 15, 2022, PacWest's Board of Directors authorized a new Stock Repurchase Program, effective March 1, 2022, to repurchase shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $100 million with a program maturity date of February 28, 2023.
76


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Our obligations also include off-balance sheet arrangements consisting of loan commitments, of which only a portion is expected to be funded, and standby letters of credit. At March 31, 2022, our loan commitments and standby letters of credit were $9.9 billion and $321.7 million. The loan commitments, a portion of which will eventually result in funded loans, increase our profitability through net interest income when drawn and unused commitment fees prior to being drawn. We manage our overall liquidity taking into consideration funded and unfunded commitments as a percentage of our liquidity sources. Our liquidity sources, as described in "- Liquidity - Liquidity Management," have been and are expected to be sufficient to meet the cash requirements of our lending activities. For further information on loan commitments, see Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) contained in "Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)."

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
This analysis should be read in conjunction with text under the caption "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our Form 10-K, which text is incorporated herein by reference. Our analysis of market risk and market-sensitive financial information contains forward-looking statements and is subject to the disclosure at the beginning of Item 2 regarding such forward-looking information.
Market Risk - Foreign Currency Exposure
We enter into foreign exchange contracts with our clients and counterparty banks primarily for the purpose of offsetting or hedging clients' foreign currency exposures arising out of commercial transactions, and we enter into cross currency swaps to hedge exposures to debt instruments denominated in foreign currencies. We have experienced and will continue to experience fluctuations in our net earnings as a result of transaction gains or losses related to revaluing certain asset and liability balances that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, and the derivatives that hedge those exposures. As of March 31, 2022, the U.S. Dollar notional amounts of subordinated debt payable denominated in foreign currencies was $28.5 million, and the U.S. Dollar notional amounts of derivatives outstanding to hedge these foreign currency exposures was $28.5 million. We recognized a foreign currency translation net gain of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and a foreign currency translation net gain of $358,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Sensitivity
Interest Rate Risk
We measure our IRR position on a monthly basis using two methods: (i) NII simulation analysis; and (ii) MVE modeling. The Executive ALM Committee and the Board Asset/Liability Management Committee review the results of these analyses quarterly. If hypothetical changes to interest rates cause changes to our simulated net present value of equity and/or net interest income outside our pre-established limits, we may adjust our asset and liability mix in an effort to bring our interest rate risk exposure within our established limits.
We evaluated the results of our NII simulation model and MVE model prepared as of March 31, 2022, the results of which are presented below. Our NII simulation and MVE model indicate that our balance sheet is asset-sensitive. An asset-sensitive profile would suggest that a sudden sustained increase in rates would result in an increase in our estimated NII and MVE, while a liability-sensitive profile would suggest that these amounts would decrease.
Net Interest Income Simulation
We used a NII simulation model to measure the estimated changes in NII that would result over the next 12 months from immediate and sustained changes in interest rates as of March 31, 2022. This model is an interest rate risk management tool and the results are not necessarily an indication of our future net interest income. This model has inherent limitations and these results are based on a given set of rate changes and assumptions at one point in time. We have assumed no growth or changes in the product mix of either our total interest-sensitive assets or liabilities over the next 12 months, therefore the results reflect an interest rate shock to a static balance sheet.
This analysis calculates the difference between NII forecasted using both increasing and decreasing interest rate scenarios using the forward yield curve at March 31, 2022. In order to arrive at the base case, we extend our balance sheet at March 31, 2022 one year and reprice any assets and liabilities that would contractually reprice or mature during that period using the products’ pricing as of March 31, 2022. Based on such repricing, we calculate an estimated NII and NIM for each rate scenario.
78


The NII simulation model is dependent upon numerous assumptions. For example, almost half of our loans are variable rate (excluding hybrid loans), which are assumed to reprice in accordance with their contractual terms. Some loans and investment securities include the opportunity of prepayment (embedded options) and the simulation model uses prepayment assumptions to estimate these accelerated cash flows and reinvest these proceeds at current simulated yields. Our interest-bearing deposits reprice at our discretion and are assumed to reprice at a rate less than the change in market rates. The 12-month NII simulation model as of March 31, 2022 assumes interest-bearing deposits reprice at 30% of the change in market rates in a rising interest rate scenario, depending on the amount of the rate change (this is commonly referred to as the "deposit beta"). The effects of certain balance sheet attributes, such as fixed-rate loans, variable-rate loans that have reached their floors, and the volume of noninterest-bearing deposits as a percentage of earning assets, impact our assumptions and consequently the results of our NII simulation model. Additionally, we assume that all market interest rates have an interest rate floor of 0%. Changes that could vary significantly from our assumptions include loan and deposit growth or contraction, loan and deposit pricing, changes in the mix of earning assets or funding sources, and future asset/liability management decisions, all of which may have significant effects on our net interest income.
The following table presents forecasted net interest income and net interest margin for the next 12 months using the static balance sheet and forward yield curve as the base scenario, with immediate and sustained parallel upward movements in interest rates of 100, 200, and 300 basis points and sustained parallel downward movements in interest rates of 25, 50, and 100 basis points as of the date indicated:

During the first quarter of 2022, total base case year 1 tax equivalent NII increased by $144.1 million to $1.3 billion at March 31, 2022, and the base case tax equivalent NIM increased to 3.61% at March 31, 2022 from 3.17% at December 31, 2021. The increase in year 1 NII and tax equivalent NIM compared to the December 31, 2021 forecasted NII and NIM was attributable to the shift in the mix of interest-earning assets resulting from the increase in loans and leases and the decrease in interest-earning deposits in financial institutions, and the impact of the increase in the implied forward yield curve. The implied forward yield curve for December 31, 2021 included three 25 basis points rate hikes, while the implied forward yield curve for March 31, 2022 included nine 25 basis points rate hikes.
In addition to parallel interest rate shock scenarios, we also model various alternative rate vectors. The most favorable alternate rate vector that we model is the “Bear Flattener Severe” scenario, when short-term rates increase faster than long-term rates. In the “Bear Flattener Severe” scenario, Year 1 tax equivalent NII increases by 4.5%. Because of the low level of market interest rates and the assumption that market rates contain a 0% floor, the ad hoc scenarios that assume decreasing interest rates do not differ materially from the base case scenario.

At March 31, 2022, we had $24.4 billion of total loans that included $11.1 billion with variable interest rate terms (excluding hybrid loans discussed below). Of the variable interest rate loans, $9.8 billion, or 88%, contained interest rate floor provisions, which included $6.5 billion of loans at or below their floors and $3.3 billion of loans that are above their floors and will reprice with future rate increases. The following table summarizes the amount of loans at or below their floors that will reprice based on the indicated increases in interest rates:

At March 31, 2022, we also had $4.5 billion of variable-rate hybrid loans that do not immediately reprice because the loans contain an initial fixed-rate period before they become variable. The cumulative amounts of hybrid loans that would switch from being fixed-rate to variable-rate because the initial fixed-rate term would expire were approximately $146.6 million, $508.2 million, and $945.6 million in the next one, two, and three years.
LIBOR is expected to be phased out in 2023, as such the Company stopped originations of LIBOR-indexed loans effective December 31, 2021. The business processes impacted relate primarily to our variable-rate loans and our subordinated debt, both of which are indexed to LIBOR. For further information, see Item 7A. "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Market Value of Equity
We measure the impact of market interest rate changes on the net present value of estimated cash flows from our assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet items, defined as the market value of equity, using our MVE model. This simulation model assesses the changes in the market value of our interest-sensitive financial instruments that would occur in response to an instantaneous and sustained increase in market interest rates of 100, 200, and 300 basis points and sustained decrease in market interest rates of 50 and 100 basis points. This analysis assigns significant value to our noninterest-bearing deposit balances. The projections include various assumptions regarding cash flows and interest rates and are by their nature forward-looking and inherently uncertain.
The MVE model is an interest rate risk management tool and the results are not necessarily an indication of our actual future results. Actual results may vary significantly from the results suggested by the market value of equity table. Loan prepayments and deposit attrition, changes in the mix of our earning assets or funding sources, and future asset/liability management decisions, among others, may vary significantly from our assumptions. The base case is determined by applying various current market discount rates to the estimated cash flows from the different types of assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet items existing at March 31, 2022.

During the first quarter of 2022, total base case projected market value of equity increased from December 31, 2021 by $262.1 million to $8.9 billion at March 31, 2022. This increase in base case projected MVE was due mostly to: (1) a $1.6 billion decrease in the mark-to-market adjustment for total deposits, borrowings, and subordinated debt; offset partially by (2) a $952.4 million decrease in the mark-to-market adjustment for loans and leases; and (3) a $349.0 million decrease in the book value of stockholders' equity due mainly to a $442.4 million decline in accumulated other comprehensive income and $29.8 million of cash dividends paid, offset partially by $120.1 million of net earnings.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out by the Company's management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The information set forth in Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) is incorporated herein by reference.
In addition, in the ordinary course of our business, we are party to various legal actions, which we believe are incidental to the operation of our business. The outcome of such legal actions and the timing of ultimate resolution are inherently difficult to predict. In the opinion of management, based upon information currently available to us, any resulting liability, in addition to amounts already accrued, and taking into consideration insurance which may be applicable, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements or operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
