Opus Bank ("Opus") (Nasdaq: “OPB”) announced today a net loss of $84.8 million, or $(2.34) per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2020, compared to net income of $20.3 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2019. Net loss during the first quarter of 2020 included a $96.2 million non-cash impairment charge to write off a portion of the balance of goodwill, as well as $2.9 million of merger related expenses. Together, these items negatively impacted earnings by $2.69 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2020. Pre-provision net revenue on an adjusted basis increased 10% from the prior quarter, primarily driven by higher net interest income.
Additionally, Opus announced today that its Board of Directors has approved the payment of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per common share payable on May 22, 2020 to common stockholders of record as of May 8, 2020, and a common-equivalent payment to its Series A Preferred stockholders.

Paul W. Taylor, President and Chief Executive Officer of Opus, stated, "Despite the rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic that has affected us all, we were pleased with our first quarter performance, including adjusted EPS of $0.35, which excludes merger-related expenses and the non-cash charge we incurred in the first quarter to write down a portion of our goodwill. The goodwill impairment had no impact on our regulatory ratios, tangible capital, or liquidity in the first quarter of 2020, and predominantly reflected the fact that stock market values of all banks are significantly lower in the current, highly stressed market environment. Adjusted pre-provision net revenue increased 10% from the prior quarter and our adjusted efficiency ratio improved to 59.2% for the first quarter of 2020. Furthermore, our net interest margin expanded from the prior quarter and expenses were contained.”
Mr. Taylor continued, “Major metropolitan areas on the West Coast were some of the earliest to report the spread of COVID-19, but thankfully, so far, have not seen as many cases as other areas in the country. Nevertheless, we took steps very early on to protect the health and safety of our team members and clients, and we continue to monitor the ongoing situation and take additional actions as necessary and appropriate. We have responded to clients' requests for loan payment deferrals through a coordinated and strategic effort and we are assisting where possible.”
Mr. Taylor concluded, “Our pending merger with Pacific Premier Bancorp remains on track to close during the second quarter of 2020, having already received regulatory approval, and shareholder approval is pending. The combination of Opus and Pacific Premier Bancorp will create one of the premier commercial banks in the western United States, provide scale and increased access to banking products and services for our clients, and result in a strong capital position to work through the current challenging environment.”
Response to COVID-19 Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, our operations began to be affected by the spread of the COVID-19 virus and the social, economic, and regulatory actions undertaken in response. Beginning in early March, we took steps to address the possible risks to our team members' and clients' health and well-being based on the guidance for businesses and employers provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Our executive leadership team meets multiple times per week to ensure we are proactively addressing any COVID-19 related issues.
In mid-March, we instituted a work-from-home policy that applied to all Opus and PENSCO team members at our corporate offices, except for a handful of mission-critical roles, and eliminated all business-related travel. We provided personal protection equipment at all of our locations, including masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, and sneeze guards at our banking offices. We also limited our banking office hours to reduce the exposure time of our team members and to allow them extra time to accommodate changes in their personal lives.
For our clients, in addition to installing sneeze guards at teller stations to add an additional layer of protection between the client and employee when completing face to face transactions, we posted visual markers to encourage social distancing within the banking offices. Our banking offices are under a controlled access protocol, allowing a minimal number of clients to enter at one time to encourage social distancing. We also increased the frequency of cleaning all high-touch areas in our banking offices to help protect customers from infection. Finally, we enacted our previously developed business continuity plan, which includes work-from-home capabilities for employees with robust firewall protections and other cybersecurity measures to protect customers' personal information and sensitive financial data.
While our capital ratios and liquidity levels are healthy, we further bolstered our liquidity during the first quarter of 2020 as a precaution against further deterioration in economic conditions by temporarily increasing our cash position by $250 million through Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances and brokered funds. Additionally, we have access to over $2 billion of currently unused borrowing capacity with the FHLB.
Loans
Average loans increased $134.0 million, or 2.3%, compared to the prior quarter to $5.9 billion for the first quarter of 2020, and increased $647.3 million, or 12.3%, from $5.3 billion for the first quarter of 2019. On a period-end basis, loans increased $89.7 million, or 1.5%, compared to the prior quarter to $6.0 billion, as of March 31, 2020, and increased $528.7 million, or 9.7%, compared to March 31, 2019. The increase in the average balance of loans compared to the prior quarter was primarily driven by the timing of new loan fundings, which occurred later in the fourth quarter of 2019.

New loan fundings in the first quarter of 2020 totaled $410.9 million, an increase of $1.5 million, or 0.4%, from the fourth quarter of 2019 and a decrease of $127.0 million, or 23.6%, from the first quarter of 2019. Loan fundings in the first quarter of 2020 were primarily driven by $254.9 million of loans from our Income Property Banking division, while our Commercial Banking division funded $112.2 million of new loans during the first quarter of 2020. Loan growth was also impacted by payoffs, which were $237.9 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $271.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 and $173.7 million in the first quarter of 2019.
Investment Securities
The average balance of investment securities increased $2.5 million, or 0.2%, during the first quarter of 2020 to $1.0 billion compared to the prior quarter, and decreased $76.1 million, or 6.9%, compared to the first quarter of 2019. On a period-end basis, investment securities decreased $48.3 million, or 4.6%, from the prior quarter to $991.3 million as of March 31, 2020, and decreased $102.7 million, or 9.4%, compared March 31, 2019. The decrease in the period-end balance of investment securities compared to the fourth quarter of 2019 was primarily driven by the timing of purchases during the fourth quarter and fluctuations in market valuations during the first quarter of 2020.
Deposits and Borrowings
Average deposits increased $52.8 million, or 0.8%, during the first quarter of 2020 to $6.5 billion compared to the prior quarter, and increased $522.4 million, or 8.8%, compared to the first quarter of 2019. Period-end deposit balances increased $229.2 million, or 3.5%, during the first quarter of 2020 to $6.7 billion as of March 31, 2020, and increased $626.1 million, or 10.3%, compared to March 31, 2019. The growth in average deposits during the first quarter of 2020 was driven by an increase of $96.5 million, or 4.4%, in average money market and savings balances, and an increase of $14.3 million, or 1.9%, in average noninterest bearing demand deposit balances, partially offset by a decrease of $67.7 million, or 8.0%, in the average balance of certificates of deposits from the prior quarter. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits measured 12.5% of total deposits as of March 31, 2020, as compared to 11.9% of total deposits as of December 31, 2019.
During the first quarter of 2020, we increased the balance of brokered deposits to $207.3 million as of March 31, 2020, compared to $3.9 million as of December 31, 2019, as we bolstered our liquidity ratios in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, we borrowed $250 million of additional funds through FHLB advances at attractive rates to increase our liquidity ratios. As a result, the average balance of FHLB advances increased $23.6 million, or 11.8%, from the prior quarter to $223.6 million during the first quarter of 2020, and FHLB advances totaled $450.0 million as of March 31, 2020.
Our loan to deposit ratio was 89.4% as of March 31, 2020, compared to 91.1% as of December 31, 2019 and 89.9% as of March 31, 2019.
Net Interest Income
Taxable equivalent net interest income increased 3.0% to $51.6 million for the first quarter of 2020, compared to $50.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, and increased 0.8% compared to $51.2 million for the first quarter of 2019.
Interest income from loans increased 0.8% to $60.7 million for the first quarter of 2020, compared to $60.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, driven primarily by higher average loan balances. Interest on cash decreased 35.4% to $1.1 million, primarily driven by a 42 basis point decrease in yield due to the Federal Reserve rate cuts in March 2020 and October, 2019, and a $47.9 million decrease in average balances of interest-earning cash. Interest income on investment securities remained stable at $7.7 million for both the first quarter of 2020 and fourth quarter of 2019.
Interest expense decreased 8.4% to $17.8 million for the first quarter of 2020, compared to $19.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, and increased 11% compared to $16.1 million for the first quarter of 2019. The decrease in interest expense from the prior quarter was driven primarily by a 10 basis point decrease in the cost of deposits to 0.91%. Interest expense on FHLB advances was flat compared to the prior quarter at $1.2 million, as higher average balances were offset by lower rates.
Net Interest Margin
Taxable equivalent net interest margin (NIM) increased eight basis points to 2.84% in the first quarter of 2020 from 2.76% in the fourth quarter of 2019, and decreased 32 basis points from 3.15% in the first quarter of 2019. The linked-quarter increase was primarily driven by a nine basis point decrease in the cost of funds to 1.05% and higher average loan balances, partially offset by lower contribution from cash balances. Our cost of deposits decreased 10 basis points to 0.91% during the first quarter of 2020, driven by lower rates and higher average balances of noninterest bearing demand deposits.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income in the first quarter of 2020 was unchanged from the prior quarter at $13.9 million, and increased 25% from $11.1 million in the first quarter of 2019. Noninterest income from PENSCO increased 1% from the prior quarter to $7.4 million in the first quarter of 2020, and escrow and exchange fees decreased 3% from the prior quarter to $1.5 million. Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2020 included $3,000 in gains on the sale of securities, loans, and other assets, compared to a gain of $851,000 for the fourth quarter of 2019. Additionally, other noninterest income included a $1.4 million net increase in equity warrant valuations and a $74,000 lease impairment charge.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2020 was $139.0 million, compared to $39.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 and $45.4 million in the first quarter of 2019. Noninterest expense during the first quarter of 2020 included a $96.2 million goodwill impairment charge that reduced the previously recorded value of goodwill by 29.0%. Additionally, noninterest expense included $2.9 million of professional services expenses related to our previously announced acquisition by Pacific Premier Bancorp. Excluding these items, noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2020 was flat compared to the prior quarter.
On at least an annual basis, we evaluate our goodwill for potential impairment, taking into consideration trends in economic conditions, financial performance, business combinations, and industry-specific market factors. Given the recent volatility in the economy, triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, we believed it was prudent to perform an evaluation of our goodwill for potential impairment during the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Based upon the results of our analysis, an impairment charge of $96.2 million was recognized during the first quarter of 2020, driven predominantly by the negative impact of COVID-19 on stock market valuations and the price of our common stock, which adversely impacted the valuation of goodwill as of March 31, 2020. The non-cash goodwill impairment charge had no impact to our regulatory ratios, tangible capital, cash flows, or liquidity.
As previously guided, we incurred seasonally higher compensation and benefits expense of approximately $1.5 million due to employer taxes paid in the first quarter of 2020. During the first quarter of 2020, we utilized $443,000 of the FDIC small bank assessment credit, compared to $461,000 in the fourth quarter of 2019.
As a result of our adoption of CECL during the first quarter of 2020, we recognized $1.2 million of provision for credit losses related to unfunded commitments, which is included in Other Expenses.
Our efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2020 was 210.8%, or 59.2% on an adjusted basis, compared to 61.3% for the fourth quarter of 2020, or 61.2% on an adjusted basis.
Income Tax Expense
We recorded an income tax expense of $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to an income tax expense of $6.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 and an income tax expense of $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2019. Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2020 was (4.0)%, compared to 23.3% for the fourth quarter of 2019 and 24.0% for the first quarter of 2019. The change in our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2020 was primarily driven by nondeductible goodwill impairment (partially offset by tax benefits associated with tax-exempt earnings and income from bank-owned life insurance), which impacted our tax rate by approximately 28 percentage points.
Asset Quality
Total nonperforming assets decreased 3% to $5.8 million as of March 31, 2020, compared to $6.0 million as of December 31, 2019, and decreased 75% compared to $23.3 million as of March 31, 2019. Our ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.07% as of March 31, 2020, unchanged from the prior quarter, and a decrease from 0.30% as of March 31, 2019. Total criticized loans increased $7.3 million, or 10%, to $80.7 million as of March 31, 2020, compared to $73.5 million as of December 31, 2019. Classified loans decreased $5.1 million in the first quarter of 2020, while special mention loans increased $12.4 million from the prior quarter.
Opus's commercial loan and real estate portfolios will be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our commercial loan portfolio is well diversified across industry types and has minimal exposure to industries that have been initially impacted the most severely as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as Restaurants, Hotels, Airlines, Energy, and Retail.

Allowance for Credit Losses and CECL Adoption
On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASC 326, also known as the Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) methodology, which affects how we determine our allowance for credit losses. The adoption of CECL increased the opening balance for the allowance for credit losses in the first quarter of 2020. The "Day-1" adjustment to the allowance for credit losses was $2.4 million for loans and $1.4 million for unfunded loan commitments, for a cumulative adjustment of $3.8 million. Our provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2020 was $7.6 million related to loans and $1.2 million related to unfunded loan commitments, for a total provision of $8.7 million.

Although our asset quality remains strong, exhibited by stable credit metrics and net recoveries during the first quarter of 2020, the increase in our provision for credit losses from the prior quarter was primarily driven by the effects of the current economic outlook due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As of March 31, 2020, the allowance for credit losses on loans was $51.4 million and the reserve for unfunded commitments was $3.6 million, included in Other Liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans was 0.86% as of March 31, 2020, compared to 0.69% as of December 31, 2019 and 1.07% as of March 31, 2019.
Capital
As of March 31, 2020, Opus exceeded all minimum regulatory capital requirements under Basel III and was considered to be a "well-capitalized" financial institution, as summarized in the table below.

In connection with our adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020, we chose to exercise the option to delay for two years the Day 1 impact to regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period, based upon recent inter-agency regulatory guidance. Our regulatory capital ratios as of March 31, 2020 reflect this decision.
Stockholders’ equity decreased $92.8 million during the first quarter of 2020 to $1.0 billion as of March 31, 2020, as retained earnings was reduced by the amount of the goodwill impairment charge incurred during the quarter. Our tangible book value per common share increased $0.10 to $19.48 as of March 31, 2020, compared to $19.38 as of December 31, 2019 and increased $1.52 compared to $17.96 as of March 31, 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our accounting and reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). We believe that the presentation of certain non-GAAP financial measures assists investors in evaluating our financial results. These non-GAAP measures include our net income, earnings per diluted share, pre-provision net revenue, return on average assets, return on average stockholders' equity, return on average tangible common equity, efficiency ratio, tangible book value per common share, and tangible common equity ratio. These non-GAAP measures should be taken together with the corresponding GAAP measures and should not be considered a substitute of the GAAP measures. The following tables present a reconciliation of the most comparable GAAP financial measures and ratios to the non-GAAP financial measures and ratios:

(1) The tax effect of adjustments was computed using the combined federal and state marginal tax rate of 24.1%, 23.9%, and 23.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2020, December 31, 2019, and March 31, 2019, respectively, adjusted for the tax effect of nondeductible strategic action expenses. |
(2) The efficiency ratio equals noninterest expense adjusted to exclude the amortization of other intangible assets divided by the sum of tax-equivalent net interest income and noninterest income adjusted to exclude the gains and losses on the sale of investment securities, loans, and other repossessed assets. |
(3) Pre-provision net revenue equals income or loss before income tax expense adjusted to exclude the provision (negative provision) for loan losses. |
