Banc of California posts $251.3 million Q2 loss after securities and loan sale charges
Banc of California reported a second-quarter net loss available to common stockholders of $251.3 million, or $(1.61) per diluted share, compared with earnings of $0.39 per share in the first quarter and $0.12 per share a year earlier. The loss reflects one-time charges from a securities repositioning, a targeted loan sale and the early retirement of subordinated debt, which management says are intended to raise net interest margin and long-term earnings.
