Weston, Fla. – FCB Financial Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:FCB) (the “Company”) today reported second quarter 2014 net income of $9.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, and core net income of $7.4 million, or $0.21 per diluted share. Net income rose 114% year over year and net income per diluted share rose 117%. Core net income rose 113% year over year and core net income per diluted share rose 133%. This resulted in a ROA of 69 basis points and a core ROA of 55 basis points, both of which reflect continued improvements on a sequential and year-over-year basis.

Core adjustments for the second quarter of 2014 included $1.0 million of expense related to branch closures and $0.5 million of FDIC equity appreciation agreements (“EAA”) expense. The reconciliation of non-GAAP measures (including core net income, core efficiency ratio, core ROA, tangible book value and tangible book value per share), which the Company believes facilitate the assessment of its banking operations and peer comparability, is included in tabular form at the end of this release.

Kent Ellert, Chief Executive Officer and President of FCB Financial Holdings, Inc., commented, “We are very pleased with our strong financial momentum as we continue to grow into the scalable platform we have built. Our industry leading loan growth, core deposit momentum and strong asset quality are a result of consistent execution by our teammates throughout the bank.”

Loan Portfolio and Composition

The total loan portfolio, gross of the allowance for loan losses, grew by $326.8 million to $3.3 billion at June 30, 2014, an increase of 11% from $2.9 billion as of March 31, 2014 and 97% from $1.7 billion as of June 30, 2013.

Our new loan portfolio totaled $2.3 billion as of June 30, 2014, an increase of 19% from $1.9 billion as of March 31, 2014 and 112% from $1.1 billion as of June 30, 2013. Our loan growth during the quarter was a result of $477 million of new loan fundings, including $71 million of purchased residential mortgages which was partially offset by the sale of $23 million in new residential loans during the period. As of June 30, 2014 new loans made up 71% of our total loan portfolio as compared to 66% as of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively.

Our acquired loan portfolio totaled $957.3 million as of June 30, 2014, a decrease of 5% from $1.0 billion as of March 31, 2014 and an increase of 68% from $568.6 million as of June 30, 2013. The decrease in the current quarter was driven by resolutions totaling $36 million as well as scheduled loan amortization while the increase from June 30, 2013 was primarily due to the acquisition of Great Florida Bank (“GFB”) on January 31, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, acquired loans made up 29% of our total loan portfolio as compared to 34% as of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively.

Asset Quality

The provision for loan losses of $3.2 million recorded for the second quarter of 2014 includes a $3.3 million provision for new loans and ($0.1) million in recoupment due to better than expected performance in the acquired loan portfolio. Net new loan charge-offs for the second quarter of 2014 were $0.3 million. The provision for new

loans served to increase the related allowance to $12.4 million, or 0.54% of the $2.3 billion in new loans outstanding. Non-performing new loans (“NPL”) as a percentage of the new loan portfolio remained de minimis at 0.01% for new loan allowance to NPL coverage of 62.7 times.

Deposits and Borrowings

Deposits totaled $4.0 billion as of June 30, 2014, an increase of 6% from $3.7 billion as of March 31, 2014 and 61% from $2.5 billion as of June 30, 2013. The increase for the quarter was primarily driven by increased core deposits of $310.3 million offset by reduction in time deposits of $81.7 million. The cost of deposits remained flat at 62 basis points from the first quarter of 2014 and declined 16 basis points from the second quarter of 2013. Continued planned reduction of high cost legacy time deposits drove the improvement year over year. Core deposits include all checking, savings and money market accounts and now represent 64% of total deposits.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income totaled $41.2 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of 7% from $38.3 million in the first quarter of 2014 and 35% from $30.5 million in the second quarter of 2013. Interest income increased to $48.5 million for the second quarter of 2014, an increase of 8% from $44.9 million in the first quarter of 2014 and 34% from $36.2 million in the second quarter of 2013. Interest income from new loans increased by $2.1 million from the first quarter of 2014 and $8.7 million from the second quarter of 2013 due to continued growth in the new loan portfolio. Additionally, interest income from acquired loans increased by $0.9 million from the first quarter of 2014 and $2.8 million from the second quarter of 2013 as the acquisition of GFB on January 31, 2014 offset average balance reductions attributable to loan resolution, prepayment and amortization. Interest expense increased to $7.3 million for the second quarter of 2014 from $6.6 million for the first quarter of 2014 and $5.7 million for the second quarter of 2013. The increase in interest expense was driven by growth of $302.4 million in average interest bearing deposits from March 31, 2014 and $1.3 billion from June 30, 2013.

The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2014 was 3.39%, a decline of 23 basis points sequentially and 49 basis points year over year. The decline over the first quarter reflects the growth and increasing mix of new loans at lower rates, as compared to the rate on our acquired loan portfolio and a decrease in yield on the securities portfolio from 2.64% to 2.44%.

Non-Interest Income and Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest income totaled $6.7 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of 163% from $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2014 and 83% from $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2013. Non-interest income during the second quarter of 2014 includes gain on investment sales, loan fees and negative indemnification asset amortization of $4.4 million, $2.6 million and ($5.9) million, respectively.

Non-interest expense totaled $30.7 million for the second quarter of 2014, a decrease of 11% from $34.5 million for the first quarter of 2014 and an increase of 12% from $27.5 million for the second quarter of 2013. The sequential decline was largely driven by the elimination of $4.8 million of non-core expenses associated with the GFB acquisition. Non-core expenses for the second quarter of 2014 included $1.0 million of expense related to branch closures and $0.5 million of EAA expense.

Financial Position

Capital ratios continue to be strong and well in excess of regulatory requirements. Our Tier 1 leverage and total risk-based capital ratios were 12.0% and 16.5% for the second quarter of 2014 respectively, compared to 13.4% and 18.1% for the first quarter of 2014, respectively. Stockholders’ equity totaled $739.4 million as of June 30, 2014, an increase of 2% from $723.9 million as of March 31, 2014 driven by strong quarterly net income and an increase in other comprehensive income. Tangible book value per common share increased to $18.11 as of June 30, 2014 from $17.65 as of March 31, 2014.

Conference Call

The Company plans on hosting quarterly conference calls beginning with the third quarter 2014 earnings announcement.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, strategies, predictions, forecasts, objectives or assumptions of future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “can,” “could,” “may,” “predicts,” “potential,” “opportunity,” “should,” “will,” “estimate,” “plans,” “projects,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “seeks,” “intends” and similar words or phrases. Accordingly, these statements involve estimates, known and unknown risks, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual strategies, actions or results to differ materially from those expressed in them, and are not guarantees of timing, future results or other events or performance. Because forward-looking statements are necessarily only estimates of future strategies, actions or results, based on management’s current expectations, assumptions and estimates on the date hereof, and there can be no assurance that actual strategies, actions or results will not differ materially from expectations, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. Additional information regarding certain risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual strategies, actions and results to differ materially from those contemplated in forward-looking statements is included from time to time in our filings with the SEC, including under the heading “Risk Factors” in our recent Registration Statement on Form S-1.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Core net income, core efficiency ratio, core return-on-assets (“core ROA”), tangible book value and tangible book value per share are each non-GAAP financial measures used in this release. A reconciliation to what we believe to be the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures - net income in the case of core net income and core ROA, total net interest income, total non-interest income and total non-interest expense in the case of core efficiency ratio, and total shareholders’ equity in the case of tangible book value and tangible book value per share - appears in tabular form at the end of this release. The Company believes each of core net income, core efficiency ratio, and core ROA is useful for both investors and management to understand the effects of certain non-interest items and provides additional perspective on the Company’s performance over time and in comparison to the Company’s competitors. Neither core net income nor core ROA should be viewed as a substitute for net income, nor should core efficiency ratio be viewed as a substitute for total net interest income, total non-interest income and total non-interest expense. The Company believes that tangible book value and tangible book value per share are useful for both investors and management, among other things, as these are measures commonly used by financial institutions, regulators and investors to measure the capital adequacy of financial institutions. The Company believes these measures facilitate comparison of the quality and composition of the Company’s capital over time and in comparison to its competitors. These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for total shareholders’ equity.

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 financial results and analyses of results reported under GAAP, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
