Forward‐Looking Statement

This communication contains a number of forward‐looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward‐looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our results of operations, financial condition and financial performance. All statements contained in this communication that are not clearly historical in nature are forward‐looking, and the words such as "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "impact," "intend," "seek," "may," "outlook," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "should," "will," "would" and similar terms and phrases are generally intended to identify forward‐looking statements. These forward‐looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management's beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward‐ looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward‐looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward‐looking statements. The COVID‐19 pandemic is adversely affecting us, our customers, counterparties, employees, and third‐party service providers, and the ultimate extent of the impacts on our business, financial position, results of operations, liquidity, and prospects is uncertain. Continued deterioration in general business and economic conditions, including further increases in unemployment rates, or turbulence in domestic or global financial markets could adversely affect our revenues and the values of our assets and liabilities, reduce the availability of funding, lead to a tightening of credit, and further increase stock price volatility. In addition, changes to statutes, regulations, or regulatory policies or practices as a result of, or in response to COVID‐19, could affect us in substantial and unpredictable ways. Other factors include, without limitation, the "Risk Factors" referenced in our Annual Report on Form 10‐K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The risks and uncertainties listed from time to time in our reports and documents filed with the SEC include the following factors: challenges and uncertainties regarding the COVID‐19 pandemic, business and economic conditions generally and in the financial services industry, nationally and within our current and future geographic market areas; economic, market, operational, liquidity, credit and interest rate risks associated with our business; the occurrence of significant natural or man‐made disasters, including fires, earthquakes, and terrorist acts; public health crisis and pandemics, including the COVID‐19 pandemic, and their effects on the economic and business environments in which we operate, including on our credit quality and business operations, as well as the impact on general economic and financial market conditions; our management of risks inherent in our real estate loan portfolio, and the risk of a prolonged downturn in the real estate market; our ability to achieve organic loan and deposit growth and the composition of such growth; the fiscal position of the U.S federal government and the soundness of other financial institutions; changes in consumer spending and savings habits; technological and social media changes; the laws and regulations applicable to our business; increased competition in the financial services industry; changes in the level of our nonperforming assets and charge‐offs; uncertainty regarding the future of LIBOR; our involvement from time to time in legal proceedings and examination and remedial actions by regulators; the composition of our management team and our ability to attract and retain key personnel; material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting; systems failures or interruptions involving our information technology and telecommunications systems; and potential exposure to fraud, negligence, computer theft and cyber‐crime. Luther Burbank Corporation ("LBC", the "Company", "we", "us", or "our") can give no assurance that any goal or expectation set forth in forward‐looking statements can be achieved and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. These forward‐looking statements are made as of the date of this communication, and the Company does not intend, and assumes no obligation, to update any forward‐looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or circumstances, except as required by law.

Use of Non‐GAAP Financial Measures

This investor presentation contains certain financial measures that are not measures recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and therefore, are considered non‐GAAP financial measures. The Company's management uses these non‐GAAP financial measures in their analysis of the Company's performance, financial condition and the efficiency of its operations. Management believes that these non‐GAAP financial measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results with prior periods as well as demonstrate the effects of significant changes in the current period. The Company's management also believes that investors find these non‐GAAP financial measures useful as they assist investors in understanding our underlying operating performance and the analysis of ongoing operating trends. However, the non‐GAAP financial measures discussed herein should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate the non‐GAAP financial measures discussed herein may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names. You should understand how such other banking organizations calculate their similar financial measures or with names similar to the non‐ GAAP financial measures we have discussed herein when comparing such non‐GAAP financial measures.

Below is a listing of the non‐GAAP financial measures used in this investor presentation.

• Pro forma items include provision for income taxes, net income, return on average assets, return on average equity and earnings per share. Prior to January 1, 2018, these pro forma amounts are calculated by adding back our franchise S‐Corporation tax to net income, and using a combined C‐Corporation effective tax rate for Federal and California income taxes of 42.0%. This calculation reflects only the changes in our status as a S‐Corporation and does not give effect to any other transaction.
• Efficiency ratio is defined as noninterest expenses divided by operating revenue, which is equal to net interest income plus noninterest income.
• Tangible book value and tangible stockholders' equity to tangible assets are non‐GAAP measures that exclude the impact of goodwill and are used by the Company's management to evaluate capital adequacy. Because intangible assets such as goodwill vary extensively from company to company, we believe that the presentation of these non‐GAAP financial measures allows investors to more easily compare the Company's capital position to other companies.

A reconciliation to these non‐GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided in the appendix to this investor presentation.
