-- Company to Host Conference Call Today at 11 a.m. Pacific Time --

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., July 26, 2011 – First California Financial Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:FCAL), the holding company of First California Bank, today reported second quarter net income of $2.4 million compared with $147,000 for the same quarter a year ago.  Net income available to common shareholders was $2.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to a net loss available to common shareholders of $166,000, or $0.01 per share, for the 2010 second quarter.  Preferred dividends were $312,500 each for the second quarters of 2011 and 2010.
 
“Our strong earnings were driven by several factors, including improved margins, higher fee income and lower loan loss provisions,” said C. G. Kum, president and chief executive officer of First California Financial Group.  “Moreover, we believe these financial results are sustainable and validate the actions we have previously taken, and expect to continue to take, namely hiring talented professionals, making strategic acquisitions to expand our geographic base and add new product offerings, and proactively and diligently addressing asset quality.”

Financial Results
For the 2011 second quarter, net interest income before the provision for loan losses, increased 43% to $15.5 million from $10.8 million for the 2010 second quarter.  The increase reflects a higher level of loans and loan yields and included $850,000 of discount accretion on covered loans for the 2011 second quarter.  Net interest margin (on a taxable equivalent basis) rose to 3.95 percent from 3.40 percent for the 2010 second quarter.  The increase reflects the decline in the rate paid on interest-bearing funds and the benefit from the addition of non-interest checking deposits, primarily from the EPS division.
 
Service charges, fees and other income increased 97% to $2.2 million from $1.1 million for the 2010 second quarter, primarily due to the fee income in the current quarter from the EPS division.
 
Noninterest income included a $490,000 net gain on the sale of securities, a $166,000 gain from the sale of the former head office of the Bank and a $466,000 gain on the acquisition of the EPS division.
 
Operating expenses for the 2011 second quarter were $12.6 million compared with $9.9 million for the 2010 second quarter.  These expenses exclude intangible amortization, integration/conversion expenses and foreclosed property gains, losses and expenses.  The increase reflects growth in the Company’s workforce associated with the acquisitions of Western Commercial Bank, San Luis Trust Bank (SLTB) and the EPS division, as well as the addition of three lending teams.  Employees at June 30, 2011 numbered 293 compared with 245 at the end of the same period a year ago.  In addition, professional expenses were higher due to ongoing loan collection and resolution efforts.  Nonetheless, the Company’s efficiency ratio improved to 73.59% for the 2011 second quarter from 81.82% for the same period last year.
 
At June 30, 2011, non-covered loans decreased to $919.7 million from $947.7 million at December 31, 2010, primarily due to continued lowering of the Company’s exposure in the construction loan portfolio combined with lower line usage by its commercial borrowers.  To deploy excess liquidity, the Company is in the process of acquiring loan portfolios totaling approximately $35 million.  These loans are primarily in-market single family residential and multi-family mortgages underwritten to First California’s conservative standards.
 
At June 30, 2011, covered loans increased to $171.8 million from $53.9 million at December 31, 2010, because of the FDIC-assisted SLTB transaction.  The unpaid principal balance of covered loans at June 30, 2011 was $261.1 million.  The Bank’s credit administrative team, since the respective acquisition dates, reduced covered loans by 11%.
 
Led by the EPS division, non-interest checking deposits increased 30% from year-end 2010 and now represent 31% of total deposits.  The SLTB transaction included $174 million of deposits from outside the SLTB geographic footprint.  The Bank allowed these deposits to run-off at their scheduled maturities and approximately $20 million remained at the end of the 2011 second quarter.  These remaining deposits will mature and run-off by the end of 2011.  The cost of all deposits, aided by the change in the mix of deposits, fell 10% to 64 basis points for the 2011 second quarter from 71 basis points for the same period last year.
 
Asset Quality
Non-covered nonaccrual loans decreased to $17.8 million at June 30, 2011 from $18.2 million at December 31, 2010.  Non-covered loans past due 30 to 89 days decreased to $5.8 million at June 30, 2011 from $11.6 million at December 31, 2010.  There were no non-covered loans past due 90 days and accruing at June 30, 2011
 
Non-covered foreclosed property at the end of the 2011 second quarter declined 22% to $20.2 million from $26.0 million at December 31, 2010.  In addition to the valuation allowance charge recognized in the 2011 first quarter, the Company continues to realize declines through sales.  At June 30, 2011, non-covered non performing assets (the sum of non-covered loans past due 90 days and accruing, nonaccrual loans and foreclosed properties) were 2.1% of total assets.
 
Covered nonaccrual loans decreased to $31.6 million at June 30, 2011 from $42.2 million at March 31, 2011.  Covered foreclosed property was $5.5 million at June 30, 2011, down from $11.1 million at March 31, 2011.
 
The allowance for loan losses was $18.3 million, or 1.99 percent of non-covered loans, at the end of the 2011 second quarter compared with $17.0 million, or 1.80 percent of non-covered loans, at December 31, 2010.  Net loan charge-offs for the 2011 second quarter were $860,000, or 0.37 percent (annualized) of average non-covered loans.  The provision for non-covered loan losses for the 2011 second quarter decreased to $500,000 compared with $1.8 million for the 2010 second quarter.
 
Kum added, “All of our asset quality data points are positive, with significant declines in problem loans, charge-offs and the provision for loan losses.  Our strong allowance for loan losses, history of low credit losses and exemplary credit administrative team has and will continue to help protect our capital through this extended recession and stagnant real estate market.”
 
Capital resources
Shareholders’ equity was $217.5 million at June 30, 2011 compared with $198.0 million at December 31, 2010.  The Company’s book value per common share increased to $6.77 at June 30, 2011 compared with $6.16 at December 31, 2010.  Tangible book value per common share rose to $4.11 at June 30, 2011 compared with $3.65 at December 31, 2010.
 
At June 30, 2011, First California’s preliminary Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 9.77 percent.  At the end of the 2010 fourth quarter, the Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 11.00 percent.  The Company’s ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets was 6.77 percent at quarter end and 7.08 percent at the end of the 2010 fourth quarter.  Total assets were $1.80 billion at June 30, 2011 compared with $1.52 billion at December 31, 2010.
 
Kum concluded: “Looking ahead, we are building positive core earnings momentum, with strong core deposits and stable operating costs.  In addition, we expect increased contributions from the EPS division in the fourth quarter of this year and beyond, as revenues begin catching up to the front-end expenses.  And, we have recently brought on board a chief banking officer and chief marketing officer who will be significant participants in strengthening, re-energizing and stimulating further growth in our Bank.”
 
SBLF transaction
Subsequent to the end of the 2011 second quarter, on July 14, 2011, the Company issued 25,000 shares of non-cumulative, perpetual preferred stock series C shares to the U. S. Treasury under its Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF) program.  The Company used the $25 million of proceeds to redeem all 25,000 outstanding shares of preferred stock series B.  In connection with the redemption of the series B shares, the Company accelerated the amortization of the remaining difference between the par amount and the initially recorded fair value of the series B preferred shares.  This $1,143,500 deemed dividend will reduce the amount of net income available to common shareholders in the 2011 third quarter.  The initial dividend rate on the series C shares will be 5%; the dividend rate will be established each quarter based on the growth in qualified small business loans.
