CU BANCORP REPORTS NET INCOME OF $2.4 MILLION AND CORE NET INCOME OF $2.9 MILLION FOR SECOND QUARTER OF 2014 WITH LOAN GROWTH OF 11%

Encino, CA, July 25, 2014 - CU Bancorp (NASDAQ: CUNB), the parent company of wholly owned California United Bank, today reported net income of $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2014, an increase of 2.8% from net income of $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2013, or $0.21 and $0.22 per fully diluted share, respectively. Core net income (defined below) for the second quarter of 2014 was $2.9 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, an increase of 24% from core net income of $2.3 million, or $0.22 per share for the second quarter of 2013.

The second quarter of 2014 included $497 thousand in non-tax deductible merger-related charges associated with the Bank’s pending merger with 1st Enterprise Bank. The Company calculates core net income by adding back the merger-related charges to GAAP earnings for the quarter because the Company believes the use of core net income, a non-GAAP measure, facilitates the assessment of its banking operations and peer comparability. A reconciliation to GAAP is included in tabular form at the end of this release.

    Announcement of merger with 1st Enterprise Bank

 

  - On June 3, 2014, CU Bancorp, the parent of California United Bank, and 1st Enterprise Bank announced the execution of a definitive agreement and plan of merger whereby 1st Enterprise Bank will merge into California United Bank

 

  - The merger combines two of the leading commercial banking franchises in Southern California with more than $2.2 billion in combined assets and offices in Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura and San Bernardino counties; in the second quarter of 2014, both franchises experienced loan growth of more than 10% over the prior year same quarter

 

  - The transaction, currently expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2014, is subject to customary conditions, including the approval of bank regulatory agencies and shareholders of both companies

“We are very pleased to report that core net income of $2.9 million is up 24% over the second quarter of 2013 and 8% over the first quarter of 2014,” said David Rainer, President and Chief Executive Officer of CU Bancorp and California United Bank. “Total loans grew 11% over the year ago period and 4% over the linked quarter, with strong net organic loan growth of $48 million, the highest quarterly net organic loan growth we have experienced in six quarters. Loan growth was driven primarily by an increase in commercial and industrial loans and owner-occupied nonresidential properties. We continue to focus on establishing new relationships and offering a more personalized banking experience than that available from larger institutions, and this is reflected in the 21% increase in commercial and industrial lines of credit over the previous year.

“The merger with 1st Enterprise Bank continues on track and we are very excited about the potential of our combined bank, especially given the loan growth both banks experienced in the second quarter. We believe our collective banking experience and mutual focus on exceptional customer service will create the premier business banking franchise in Southern California.”

Second Quarter 2014 Summary Results

Net Income and Profitability Ratios

Net income was $2.4 million or $0.21 per fully diluted share for the second quarter of 2014, compared with net income of $2.3 million, or $0.22 per fully diluted share, for the second


quarter of 2013. Net income for the second quarter of 2014 was impacted by $497 thousand in merger-related expenses; the second quarter of 2013 had no merger-related expenses. Excluding merger-related charges, net income before the provision for income taxes in the second quarter of 2014 was $4.8 million, compared to net income before the provision for income taxes of $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2013.

Net income in the second quarter of 2014 of $2.4 million was $280 thousand lower than net income of $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2014, due to merger-related expenses incurred in the second quarter. Net income before the provision for income tax expense, excluding merger-related expenses, in the second quarter of 2014 was $4.8 million, compared to net income before the provision for income tax expense of $4.3 million in the first quarter of 2014.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income before the provision for loan losses totaled $12.6 million for the second quarter of 2014 and the second quarter of 2013. However, net interest income in the second quarter of 2013 benefitted from the recognition of $891 thousand in discount earned on early loan payoffs of acquired loans, compared to $483 thousand earned in the second quarter of 2014. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2013, the Company recorded $162 thousand of interest income related to the recovery of interest on a non-accrual loan that was paid off.

Net interest income before the provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2014 increased $405 thousand, or 3.3% from the first quarter of 2014. The increase was primarily driven by net organic loan growth.

The Company’s net interest income continued to be positively impacted in both the first and second quarter of 2014 by the recognition of the fair value discount earned on early payoffs of acquired loans. The Company recorded $519 thousand and $483 thousand in discount earned on early loan payoffs of acquired loans in the first and second quarter of 2014, respectively, with a positive impact on the net interest margin of 16 and 15 basis points, respectively.


As of June 30, 2014, the Company had $6.8 million of accretable yield discount remaining on acquired loans.

Net interest margin in the second quarter of 2014 was 3.88%, compared to 4.25% in the second quarter of 2013. The decrease in net interest margin is primarily attributable to the higher level of fair value discount earned on early payoffs of acquired loans and the recovery of interest income on the non-accrual loan that was paid off during the second quarter of 2013, the combination of which had a positive impact of 36 basis points on the year ago quarter’s net interest margin.

Net interest margin in the second quarter of 2014 was 3.88% compared to 3.82% in the first quarter of 2014. Average loans increased by $35.2 million over the previous quarter, which positively impacted the net interest margin in the second quarter.

The Company’s average yield on loans was 5.18% in the second quarter of 2014, compared to 5.24% in the first quarter of 2014. The core loan yield was 4.97% in the second quarter of 2014, compared to 5.01% in the first quarter of 2014.

The Company’s cost of funds was 0.15% in the second quarter of 2014, a decrease from 0.19% in the second quarter of 2013 and equal to 0.15% for the first quarter of 2014.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $93 thousand or 5.5% from $1.7 million in the same quarter of the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to a $225 thousand settlement related to an other real estate owned property sold last year and included in other non-interest income in the second quarter of 2014. Non-interest income in the second quarter of 2013 benefitted from a $250,000 insurance settlement also included in other non-interest income.

Non-interest income in the second quarter of 2014 decreased $7 thousand or 0.4% from the first quarter of 2014. The decrease in non-interest income from the prior quarter was primarily attributable to a decrease in the gain on sale of SBA loans in the second quarter; partially offset by the settlement related to the previously mentioned other real estate owned property.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2014 increased $417 thousand or 4.5% over the second quarter of 2013. The increase was primarily due to merger-related expenses of $497 thousand and the annual granting of stock-based compensation to senior management. Merger expenses include investment banking costs associated with a fairness opinion and legal fees for the drafting of the definitive agreement.


Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2014 increased $149 thousand over the first quarter of 2014. The increase was primarily due to merger related expenses, partially offset by a reduction in salaries and employee benefits, which are seasonally higher in the first quarter due to 401(k) employee contribution matches and FICA. Additionally, the lower gain on sale of SBA loans resulted in lower commissions paid in the second quarter.

Non-interest expense for both quarters benefited from reduced legal and professional fees, down $161 thousand from the year-ago quarter and $112 thousand from the previous quarter, due to the Company’s varying utilization of outside consultants and legal counsel.

Income Tax

The Company’s merger-related expenses of $497 thousand are not tax deductible, which had the consequence of increasing its effective tax rate for the quarter to 43.9%, compared to 39.5% for the second quarter of 2013.

Balance Sheet

Assets

Total assets at June 30, 2014 were $1.4 billion, a year-over-year increase of $152 million or 11.9% from June 30, 2013, primarily resulting from growth in total deposits. Total assets increased $48 million or 3.5% quarter-over-quarter from March 31, 2014, primarily resulting from growth in total deposits, including $31 million in non-interest bearing deposits.

Loans

Total loans were $980 million at June 30, 2014, an increase of $34 million or 3.6% from $946 million at the end of the prior quarter. This also represents an increase of $95 million or 10.7% from June 30, 2013. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company had approximately $48 million of net organic loan growth, which was partially offset by approximately $13 million in loan run-off from acquired portfolios.

The increase in total loans from the prior quarter included a $13.9 million increase in the commercial and industrial loan portfolio and a $13.8 million increase in the owner-occupied nonresidential properties portfolio; these two portfolios now represent 52% of total loans. Commercial and industrial lines of credit increased to $439 million in the second quarter of 2014, up 20.8% from the prior year and 3.5% from the previous quarter.


Deposits

Total deposits at June 30, 2014, were $1.2 billion, an increase of $42 million or 3.5% from March 31, 2014. This also represents an increase of $148 million or 13.4% from June 30, 2013. The increase in deposits from the end of the prior quarter primarily reflects increases in non-interest bearing demand deposits and interest bearing transaction accounts from existing customers, as well as new relationships, partially offset by reductions in money market accounts and certificates of deposit.

Non-interest bearing demand deposits at June 30, 2014 were $682 million, an increase of $30.7 million or 4.7% from March 31, 2014. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits represented 55% of total deposits at June 30, 2014, up from 54% at the end of the prior quarter. Cost of deposits for the quarter was 0.11%, down from 0.12% in the prior quarter.

Asset Quality

Total non-performing assets were $7.2 million, or 0.51% of total assets at June 30, 2014, compared with $8.2 million, or 0.60% of total assets, at March 31, 2014. Approximately 71% of the total non-performing assets at June 30, 2014, were acquired loans that were marked to fair value at the time of acquisition.

Of the total non-performing assets at June 30, 2014, the other real estate owned category consisted of one industrial condominium located in Palm Desert, which is carried on the books at $219 thousand. The property was sold in the third quarter of 2014 for approximately book value.

During the second quarter of 2014, the Company recorded net recoveries of $53 thousand, compared with net recoveries of $145 thousand during the first quarter of 2014.

The Company recorded a loan loss provision of $408 thousand for the second quarter of 2014. The loan loss provision reflects strong organic loan growth, recoveries recorded in the quarter and an improving credit quality environment.

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans (excluding acquired loans that have been marked to fair value and the related allowance) was 1.45% at June 30, 2014, compared with 1.48% at March 31, 2014, and 1.50% at June 30, 2013.

Capital

CU Bancorp remained well capitalized at June 30, 2014 with total risk weighted assets of $1,212,027,000. All of the Company’s capital ratios are above minimum regulatory standards for “well capitalized” institutions.

The increase in tangible book value per common share from the prior quarter primarily reflects the net income generated during the second quarter of 2014.

GAAP RECONCILIATIONS

These non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of results reported under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

TCE Calculation and Reconciliation to Total Shareholders’ Equity

The Company utilizes the term Tangible Common Equity (TCE), a non-GAAP financial measure. CU Bancorp’s management believes TCE is useful because it is a measure utilized by both regulators and market analysts in evaluating a consolidated bank holding company’s financial condition and capital strength. TCE represents common shareholders’ equity less goodwill and certain intangible assets. A reconciliation of CU Bancorp’s total shareholders’ equity to TCE is provided in the table below for the periods indicated:

Core Net Income, ROAA, ROAE, EPS, Efficiency Ratio

(Unaudited)

The Company utilizes the term Core Net Income, a non-GAAP financial measure. CU Bancorp’s management believes Core Net Income is useful because it is a measure utilized by management and market analysts to understand the effects of merger expenses and provides an alternative view of the Company’s performance over time and in comparison to the Company’s competitors. Core net income should not be viewed as a substitute for net income. A reconciliation of CU Bancorp’s Net Income to Core Net Income, as well as related ratios is presented in the tables below for the periods indicated:
