S T O C K H O L D E R   L E T T E R 

To Our Stockholders:

2021 marked a record year for Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc., despite the 

impact of the ongoing pandemic, supply chain disruptions, and labor 

shortages. Our success over the past year reflects the effectiveness of 

our diversified commercial banking model and approach to technology-

driven growth. We generated record revenue and net income for the 

year by leveraging the expanded capabilities of our larger and more 

diverse organization.

Net income for the full year was $340 million, or $3.58 per diluted share, while our 

pre-provision net revenue, which we consider our core earnings, increased 24% 

to $390 million.1 The combination of strong revenue growth and prudent expense 

management also resulted in the following positive trends across key metrics:

• Total revenue increased 19% year-over-year

•  Noninterest income increased 51% in 2021

•  Total cost of deposits declined to 0.04% in 4Q21

•  Total loans held for investment increased 8% year-over-year

•  Non-maturity deposits increased 10% year-over-year

•   Asset quality remained excellent, with net charge-offs representing just 0.02%  

of average loans for the year

•  Our efficiency ratio improved to 48.4%

Our consistently strong financial performance during the year resulted in tangible 

book value per share increasing 9%, while we returned $140 million in capital to 

stockholders through our quarterly cash dividend and stock repurchase program.  

In short, we delivered significant value for our stockholders in 2021.

1  Pre-provision net revenue is calculated by adding to our 2021 net income of $50 million, amount attributable to income 

tax ($121 million), provision recapture for credit losses ($71 million), and merger-related expenses ($5,000).

“ Net income for the full year was $340 million, or $3.58 per diluted 
share, while our pre-provision net revenue, which we consider our 
core earnings, increased 24% to $390 million.1”

Record Loan Production and Strong Inflows of Low-Cost Deposits

Our scalable technology infrastructure and disciplined approach to business 

development have enhanced our ability to attract new clients and expand existing 

relationships. This past year’s results included $5.7 billion in new loan commitments 

and a significant increase in low-cost non-maturity deposits, which grew over 

10% year-over-year and accounted for 94% of our total deposits at year-end. The 

addition of larger, more sophisticated middle-market companies and strong credit 

sponsors of commercial real estate projects helped make 2021 our most productive 

year ever. We entered 2022 with the highest level of commercial loan commitments 

in our history, and are well-positioned to take advantage of continued loan growth 

opportunities going forward.   

Executing on Our Technology-Driven Growth Strategy

For many years, we have prioritized investing in technology to support and drive 

growth. At the center of our technology-driven growth strategy is Premier360SM, 

our innovative technology platform that enhances the ability of our cross-functional 

teams to collaborate and work together seamlessly to deliver superior client 

services and solutions. In 2021, we introduced additional new products and features 

to our suite of treasury management services designed to enhance the client 

experience, leverage efficiencies, and deepen client relationships. Our new features 

include, among others, a more modernized online business banking platform, new 

credit card offerings, and a refined mobile banking experience. These efforts have 

enabled us to expand our coverage area and the number of clients served, while 

improving their experience and strengthening our relationships.

” Our scalable technology and

will continue to allow us to add 
new clients and expand existing 
relationships.”

Reinforcing the Pacific Premier Culture

Our five Success Attributes embody our culture: Achieve, Communicate, Improve, 

Integrity, and Urgency. Over the past decade, our Success Attributes have been 

key to building a high-performing institution focused on continuous improvement 

throughout our organization. 

Throughout 2021—a year in which we focused on organic growth—we continued to 

draw upon our Success Attributes to expand our approach to Environmental, Social, 

and Governance (ESG) initiatives. We continued to make meaningful investments in 

our employees, clients, and communities, and we are excited to share our inaugural 

Corporate Social Responsibility Report highlighting these investments and efforts, 

which we released this spring.

” We believe we are well positioned to take advantage of compelling 

acquisition opportunities that complement our disciplined approach 

to organic growth.”

A Strong Foundation for Generating Profitable Growth and Enhancing Franchise Value

As we look ahead, we expect the dynamic economic environment to present both 

new growth opportunities and challenges from inflation and the ongoing pandemic.  

Our scalable technology and culture of continuous improvement will continue to 

allow us to add new clients and expand existing relationships. We believe we are 

well positioned to take advantage of compelling acquisition opportunities that 

complement our disciplined approach to organic growth. We have an established  

track record of successfully identifying, structuring, and integrating acquisitions that 

create value for our stockholders. Our experienced management team is prepared 

to leverage the infrastructure we have built to capitalize on compelling opportunities 

if, and when, they arise. 

We are committed to operating the Company in a balanced approach while delivering 

value to stockholders in varying economic environments. Our performance over the 

past year is a testament to this approach. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I 

want to thank our stockholders for your continued support of our vision, strategy, 

and execution.

WE DELIVERED RECORD FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE IN 2021.

During 2021, our team produced solid results as net income was a record $340 million, driven by a 19% 
increase in total revenue, which totaled $770 million. The record level of total revenue and continued 
improvement in our efficiency ratio was a direct result of our ability to gain scale and quickly realize 
synergies through successfully executing our acquisition strategy. Throughout the year, we continued to 
drive stockholder value as tangible book value per share increased 9% from 2020. Additionally, we returned 
$140 million in capital to our stockholders during 2021, which included a 10% increase in our quarterly 
dividend to $0.33 per share in the second quarter of 2021.

Equitable Impact Initiative

During 2021, the pandemic highlighted persistent inequities in wealth, housing, education, and health 
for communities of color and other marginalized populations. To combat these ills, we launched our 
Equitable Impact Initiative, a multi-year $50 million commitment to key organizations and programs 
designed to reduce social and economic disparities in underserved communities.

As a result of this Initiative, the SoLa Black Impact Fund will receive a $30 million investment to 
support prosperity and racial equity within Black and Brown communities. In addition, the SDS 
Supportive Housing Fund will receive a $15 million investment to finance approximately 1,800 new 
units of permanent supportive housing for people currently experiencing homelessness within 
communities that are predominantly minority. 

Other key partners for this initiative include Local Initiatives Support Corporation Los Angeles (LISC LA), 
which received $150,000 to help its efforts in transforming underserved neighborhoods. In addition, 
Community Capital Management will receive a $5 million contribution to its Minority CARES initiative, 
which will enable it to invest in market-rate, investment-grade bonds to increase opportunity for people 
of color. The California Reinvestment Coalition (CRC) Resilience Fund will also receive a $500,000 grant 
over two years to help minority-owned small businesses and communities of color disproportionately 
impacted by the pandemic.

Together, these and other efforts supported by our Equitable Impact Initiative are making a tangible 
difference in the communities we serve.

“Without Pacific Premier’s 

willingness to help, our vision for 

this program would never have 

happened.”

LISC LA
Local Initiatives Support Corporation Los Angeles (LISC LA) is one 
of 31 offices of the Local Initiatives Support Corporation, a national 
nonprofit organization transforming underserved neighborhoods 
into thriving communities of opportunity and choice. Pacific 
Premier donated $150,000 to LISC LA in 2021 and volunteered 15 
hours serving on the Advisory Committee. This allowed LISC LA to 
launch a first-of-its-kind business accelerator program, the Black 
Business Excellence Technical Assistance Initiative (BBET).

Tunua Thrash-Ntuk, 
Executive Director, LISC LA

The BBET initiative is a 10-week program helping those in the 
personal care sector, a business segment particularly hard-hit by 
the pandemic.

“Many of the business owners in this space had their 
livelihoods threatened and had feelings of being isolated and 
without support,” according to Tunua Thrash-Ntuk, Executive 
Director, LISC LA.

As part of the BBET program, these businesses have access 
to 10 training modules led by industry experts in the field, as 
well as weekly mentoring from a business provider, networking 
opportunities, and pitch opportunities.

High-Impact Loans

As our partner stories below indicate, high-impact loans to community-minded organizations 
have a profound impact in the areas we serve.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS
Community Development Partners (CDP) constructs and manages affordable housing in California, 
Arizona, Nevada, and Oregon. Pacific Premier actively participates with CDP in securing loans from 
the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco’s Affordable Housing Program (AHP). As just one 
example of this partnership in 2021, CDP used a $560,000 AHP loan to develop a 57-unit project for 
chronically homeless individuals in Santa Ana, California. 

Pacific Premier also originated several lines of credit, including one to finance pre-development 
project expenses for affordable housing construction projects in Orange County.

” As a family-run business, we value the long-term 

relationship we have with Pacific Premier Bank. We’ve 

grown together over the past eight years. They understand 

that we are building communities, not just housing units.”

Kyle Paine  
President, Community Development Partners

”My father started this business, and all my siblings actively participate 
in it today. He liked working with a local bank that understood the 

importance local businesses can have on their communities–and that’s 

why we continue working with Pacific Premier today.”

Alex Arevalo 
President, Arevalo Foods

AREVALO FOODS
Arevalo Foods is a family-owned and -operated business that has made authentic flour and 
corn tortillas for more than 30 years. Its core competency is to supply the prepared frozen food 
market with the tortillas necessary to make value-added products, with clientele in 24 countries 
around the world. Arevalo’s relationship with Pacific Premier started with the financing of an 
85,000-square-foot bakery, and our relationship continues today with a variety of products and 
services. In 2021, this included a loan for capital that will enable further growth and expansion for 
this local business that provides over 100 jobs.

ANAHEIM DUCKS
Military Appreciation 

For many years, Pacific Premier Bank has partnered 

with the Anaheim Ducks to salute military personnel 

in a Salute to Those Who Serve presentation at every 

Ducks home game. We also teamed up as the presenting 

sponsor of the Ducks Military Appreciation Night to help 

honor our military. It was our privilege to continue this 

tradition in 2021.  Thank you to everyone who has served 

our country.

PAC-12 
Pacific Premier Partners with the Pac-12

Comprising 12 leading universities, the conference aims to develop 

the next generation of student-athlete leaders. Pacific Premier also 

sponsors two Pac-12 programs that help promote social justice.

As part of “Touchdowns for Equality,” Pacific Premier donated $100 to 

organizations focused on social justice for every touchdown scored 

by a Pac-12 football team during the 2021 season. With “Threes for 

Equality,” the Bank donated $100 for every three-pointer made during 

the 2021 Pac-12 men’s and women’s basketball tournaments. In all, 

Pacific Premier’s contributions totaled $78,400.
