In a strong year, we generated $160 million in net income, or $2.60 per diluted share, while continuing our history of delivering solid returns and building franchise value. During the year, we showed that we can grow profitability while exercising prudence and restraint in expanding our loan portfolio at this point in the economic cycle. During 2019, we focused on sound capital management, core deposit growth, disciplined cost controls, and proactive credit risk management. Our team’s strong execution of these strategic priorities contributed to increased franchise value. We grew our tangible book value per share by 11% while returning $154 million in capital to shareholders through our quarterly cash dividend and stock repurchase programs. Forbes took note of our consistently strong performance, ranking Pacific Premier #3 on the Forbes 2020 list of America’s Best Banks—up from #11 the previous year. This achievement is a testament to both our team’s commitment to effectively execute on our strategic plan and the strong culture we have fostered within the Company. As we enter a period of heightened uncertainty associated with the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak impacting our nation’s way of life, we are implementing a number of strategies and actions to lessen the economic impact on our balance sheet and operations. We historically have been proactive in our approach to managing challenges and uncertainty, and our response to this crisis is no different. We have already taken important steps to protect our employees and our franchise. We believe the principles and lessons learned from the financial crisis will serve our team and shareholders well in the long term. Articulating a company’s culture can be challenging and often results in empty words on a page. We have taken a different approach. Several years ago, we developed our Success Attributes, which help articulate our long standing culture: Achieve, Communicate, Improve, Integrity, and Urgency. We continuously reinforce our Success Attributes across the entire organization, conveying our culture to our employees, clients, and communities. These guiding principles have been central to how we operate our business every day. Our success can be traced directly to our team’s deep-rooted commitment to our strategy and the effectiveness of the Pacific Premier culture. We work diligently to develop a results-driven organization focused on helping our clients achieve their business objectives while 6 PACIFIC PREMIER BANCORP, INC. | 2019 ANNUAL REPORT EFFICIENCY RATIO 55.9% 53.6% 51.6% 51.0% 50.8% 2015–2019 NON-MATURITY DEPOSITS ($ in thousands) exercising discipline and prudence in our operations with a consistent focus on enhancing shareholder value.

The unforeseen nature of this crisis and the speed with which it spread underscores the importance of the priority we have always placed on risk management, which has been essential to the health and success of our franchise. We believe that our exceptionally strong capital position, liquidity, and asset quality put us in as strong a position as we can be to effectively deal with the challenges presented by the coronavirus and to continue serving the needs of our clients. The effects of this crisis certainly will have a near-term impact on the financial performance of the entire banking industry, including Pacific Premier, particularly due to the rapid decline in interest rates, though we cannot be certain to what extent. Ultimately, as we emerge from this crisis, we are confident that our franchise will be viewed favorably by all of our stakeholders based on how we navigated these unprecedented challenges. In light of recent events, 2020 will be a challenging year for our nation and the communities we serve, and we will not be insulated from those challenges. We have always operated Pacific Premier with a long-term perspective and have executed on a strategic plan designed to build a franchise capable of weathering significant economic and financial disruptions. We believe the continued disciplined execution of that strategic plan will enable us to build upon our track record as a high-performing institution and create additional long-term value for our shareholders in the years ahead.

Templo Calvario Community Development Corporation (TCCDC) is dedicated to meeting the increasing and changing needs of the City of Santa Ana, California—a community characterized by unique challenges, such as low English proficiency, diminished educational achievement, and families’ financial instability. TCCDC’s Banking on Our Youth (BOY) program is a sustainable financial literacy and entrepreneurship program that works with high school juniors and seniors through innovative and engaging methods to promote financial education, responsibility, leadership, and teamwork. “The mission of BOY is to help Santa Ana youth improve their understanding of financial concepts and services and empower them to make the right decisions that will improve their financial well-being,” says Yanet Gonzalez, TCCDC’s Chief Operating Officer. “Pacific Premier Bank has underwritten the entire BOY program for the last three years.” The program includes laptops for 45 students and $15,000 in scholarships. Pacific Premier’s contributions have totaled nearly $500,000 over the last three years. “We’re very blessed to have a great partnership with Pacific Premier Bank,” says Gonzalez. “And not only with the Bank, but also its great employees.” PACIFIC PREMIER BANCORP, INC. | 2019 ANNUAL REPORT 13 EARN TO LEARN “ It’s a groundbreaking approach with remarkable results.” —Kate Hoffman, Executive Director (Earn to Learn) Helping students cross the college graduation finish line with a quality education. “Nationally, fewer than 40% of Pell Grant–eligible students actually make it to the finish line and graduate,” points out Kate Hoffman, Earn to Learn’s Executive Director. “And with today’s cost of attendance, the probability is very high that they’re taking on debt in the process.” Earn to Learn aims to change this situation with an innovative approach that involves annual family deposits of $500 to support college tuition, books, fees, and other approved educational related expenses, which is then matched 8:1—giving students an investor stake in their success. “We empower them with financial literacy to ensure they can navigate their personal finances and improve their economic mobility,” says Hoffman. “It’s a groundbreaking approach with remarkable results.” To date, Earn to Learn students have saved $3,061,206 and earned $24,489,651 in scholarships. Pacific Premier Bank provided Earn to Learn with $16,500 in grants to support the organization’s efforts to reduce student loan debt and expand its workforce development efforts in Arizona and Nevada. Its programs focus on eliminating student debt and creating opportunities for business mentoring, internships, and permanent placement upon graduation. Pacific Premier was the first to support the organization’s expansion into Nevada. 14 PACIFIC PREMIER BANCORP, INC. | 2019 ANNUAL REPORT LOMA LINDA UNIVERSITY CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL FOUNDATION “ It’s a gift to us to be able to provide this excellent care to these children.” —Dr. Alexandra Clark, Division Chief for General Pediatrics (LLUCH) Providing critical medical care where and when it’s needed. Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital Foundation (LLUCH) identified a critical need for pediatric healthcare services in California’s Coachella Valley—especially for lower income families who were unable to travel to other cities. With its awareness of community needs, Pacific Premier Bank provided a two-year, $40,000 commitment to LLUCH from 2017–2018 to support the development of a new outpatient pediatric pavilion in the city of Indio, California, an area in desperate need of affordable and accessible pediatric health services. The pediatric population in Coachella Valley in 2017 was 128,577 children. This population is projected to grow significantly in the next 10 years, and yet there is currently only one doctor for every 9,000 residents in that region. In 2019, Pacific Premier provided an additional $10,000 to support the Indio Clinic with the purchase of a critical diagnostic tool (Chemistry 8 testing machine) that eliminates the need to send a child to the lab to wait for results. “It’s a gift for us to be able to provide this excellent care to these children,” says Dr. Alexandra Clark, Division Chief for General Pediatrics at LLUCH. “And that gift is only possible through partners like Pacific Premier.” PACIFIC PREMIER BANCORP | 2019 ANNUAL REPORT 15 PACIFIC PREMIER BANCORP, INC. | 2019 ANNUAL REPORT 15 PEOPLES’ SELF-HELP HOUSING “We build to the highest environmental standards.” —Gillian Cole-Andrews, Director of Communications and Resource Development (PSHH) Building housing that’s affordable—and green. Peoples’ Self-Help Housing (PSHH) is the largest nonprofit housing developer on California’s Central Coast. It builds affordable homes with site-based services that offer opportunities to change lives and strengthen communities. It serves low income working families, seniors, and other special needs groups. “Many of our residents have come from previously very fragile situations,” says Gillian Cole-Andrews, PSHH’s Director of Communications and Resource Development. “Some have been living in their cars and others have been living on the streets. What we want to do is provide a really positive and supportive experience.” PSHH provides a lot more than basic housing. “We build to the highest environmental standards,” says Cole-Andrews. “That includes solar power.” PSHH has partnered with organizations, such as GRID, to equip their communities with solar panels. This improves energy efficiency, provides clean, sustainable energy, and reduces a community’s carbon footprint. “The savings from lower energy costs get passed on to our residents as cheaper utility bills,” notes Cole-Andrews. In 2019, Pacific Premier Bank provided $35,000 in grants to support PSHH’s affordable-housing clean energy projects and financial literacy programs. 16 PACIFIC PREMIER BANCORP, INC. | 2019 ANNUAL REPORT A NEW WAY OF LIFE “ Knowledge is the key to stability.” —Susan Burton, Founder and President (ANWOL) Providing opportunities to women with histories of incarceration. “Incarceration doesn’t solve any problems,” says Susan Burton, Founder and President of A New Way of Life (ANWOL) Reentry Project. “It only succeeds in creating new ones.” The Los Angeles–based ANWOL promotes healing, good health and well-being, power, and opportunity for formerly incarcerated people. The organization offers housing, case management, pro bono legal services, advocacy, and leadership development for women rebuilding their lives after prison. In 2019, Pacific Premier Bank awarded a $25,000 grant to ANWOL to support its programs related to job training, career coaching, personal mentoring, and affordable housing. Pacific Premier has also led financial literacy classes for residents to teach them how to save and understand their finances, with the goal of eliminating poverty. “Knowledge is the key to stability,” Burton says. PACIFIC PREMIER BANCORP, INC. | 2019 ANNUAL REPORT 17 KOREATOWN YOUTH AND COMMUNITY CENTER “ KYCC’s participation in the VITA program offered by the IRS is one of its biggest contributions to its community.” —Rick Kim, Director of Community Economic Development (KYCC) Using tax refunds to help eliminate poverty. KYCC (Koreatown Youth and Community Center) was established in 1975 to support a growing population of at-risk youth in Los Angeles. Today, KYCC is the leading multiservice organization in Koreatown, supporting children and their families in the areas of education, health, housing, and finances. While KYCC offers many programs and services, its participation in the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program offered by the IRS is one of its biggest contributions. VITA offers free tax preparation for lower income individuals and families, ensuring that taxpayers receive every credit they are entitled to—including the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). “The earned income tax credit refunds received by lower income families provide meaningful income,” says Rick Kim, KYCC’s Director of Community Economic Development. The refunds translated to over $16 million to families in 2019 in an effort to eliminate poverty. In 2019, Pacific Premier Bank provided $15,000 to KYCC, including support for VITA and other programs. Since 2017, Pacific Premier has provided $75,000 in funding for VITA programs across Southern Arizona, Orange and Santa Barbara Counties in California, and Nevada. 18 PACIFIC PREMIER BANCORP, INC. | 2019 ANNUAL REPORT “ We’re here to help prospective homebuyers by providing resources, excellent counsel, and teaching them to be the best they can be.” —Dawn Lee, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer (NHSIE) Giving people the tools to become homeowners. Homeownership is becoming increasingly elusive for lower income and minority families in the communities served by Neighborhood Housing Services of the Inland Empire (NHSIE): Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego counties. This region is characterized by high poverty rates with a cost of living 20% higher than the national average. NHSIE has made it a mission to address these needs. “We’re creating homeownership opportunities, bridging the housing affordability gap and building sustainable communities one person, one home, and one neighborhood at a time,” says Dawn Lee, NHSIE’s Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer. “First-time homebuyers are often challenged when trying to navigate the complex process,” says Lee. “So, we’re here to help by linking them to affordable mortgage products and providing excellent counsel so that they are empowered to be their own best advocate during the purchase and financially stable homeowners for years to come thereafter.” Since 2017, Pacific Premier Bank has provided $40,000 in grants to NHSIE that respond to critical affordable housing needs by increasing access to homeownership and wealth-building opportunities to help eliminate poverty for lower income, minority, and other underserved populations.“ The Bank’s focus is on helping ensure access to safe and affordable housing,” says Lee. “And that’s exactly what they’re doing.” “ A grant from Pacific Premier Bank supports services to address the rapidly rising need for housing assistance in our county.” —Kim Hash, Director of Development & Communications (Share Vancouver) Housing support for the chronically homeless. Share’s ASPIRE (Achieving Self-sufficiency Personal Improvement and Resource Education) program is a coordinated system for providing case management, housing, and connections to supportive services for homeless families and individuals in Clark County, Washington. “The ASPIRE program also offers transitional and permanent affordable housing support for chronically homeless and highly vulnerable populations,” says Kim Hash, Share Vancouver’s Director of Development & Communications. “A donation from Pacific Premier Bank supports services to address the rapidly rising need for housing assistance in our county,” says Hash, adding that Pacific Premier has committed $7,500 in both 2018 and 2019 for a total donation of $15,000. “We look forward to having Pacific Premier Bank as our partner in addressing homelessness, hunger, and helping to eliminate poverty,” she adds. “We provide a total nutritional and educational package.” —Erik Talkin, CEO (Foodbank of Santa Barbara County) Eliminating hunger in Santa Barbara County, CA. Foodbank of Santa Barbara County’s mission is to end hunger and transform the health of Santa Barbara County through good nutrition. Santa Barbara County has the highest rate of child poverty in California, and California has the highest rate in the nation. One in four residents of Santa Barbara County need some type of assistance securing food, with 60% of households reporting they must choose between paying for medical care or food. “We provide a total nutritional and educational package for the people we serve—and support in the event of disasters,” says Erik Talkin, Foodbank of Santa Barbara County’s CEO. “The 2017 Thomas Fire is what brought the Foodbank and Pacific Premier Bank together in the first place. That December, we received $15,000 from the Bank. The organization has worked with us ever since, most recently providing $5,000 in support of our Empty Bowls events.” The Foodbank’s disaster response efforts ensure that food and water are always available at no cost to anyone in need in Santa Barbara County.

At Pacific Premier Bank, we define a high-impact loan as one that fosters access to capital for underserved communities, specifically in the areas of job creation and retention, education and workforce development, and affordable housing. These types of loans channel capital into underserved neighborhoods and businesses with a goal of promoting economic growth and prosperity. High-impact loans are also very responsive to specific needs within a certain community. Here are two recent examples: 20 PACIFIC PREMIER BANCORP, INC. | 2019 ANNUAL REPORT The Arc of Riverside County—Riverside, CA This nonprofit organization’s mission is to secure, for all individuals with intellectual and development disabilities (I/DD), the opportunity to choose and realize their goals through job training, job placement assistance, social skills workshops, community awareness programs, and medical services. Pacific Premier Bank provided three loans to The Arc of Riverside totaling $2,475,000 for the purposes of short-term working capital, purchase of an office building, and to pay off debt. These loans are helping the organization further its mission of creating and preserving jobs for individuals within the I/DD population, a community that is typically underserved, overlooked, and devalued by society. “These are among the many reasons we take pride in providing much-needed services for these individuals within the six facilities we operate across Riverside County,” says Erin Stream, The Arc of Riverside’s Executive Director. Community HousingWorks—San Diego, CA “We believe opportunity begins with a stable home,” says Sue Reynolds, President and CEO of Community HousingWorks (CHW). “We offer stability by developing life-changing affordable apartment communities with resident-centered services to empower working families, seniors, and people with disabilities to forge stronger futures.” The organization owns over 3,600 apartments in 42 communities statewide, serving more than 9,000 working families, children, and seniors. Pacific Premier provided a $2,000,000 revolving line of credit to assist with predevelopment capital and acquisition equity for new housing and real estate development projects for lower income residents.
