LOS ANGELES, July 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hope Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ:HOPE), the holding company of Bank of Hope (the “Bank”), today reported unaudited financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. Net income for the 2018 second quarter totaled $47.5 million, or $0.36 per diluted common share, based on 133,352,841 weighted averaged diluted common shares outstanding. This compares with net income for the 2018 first quarter of $51.2 million, or $0.38 per diluted common share, based on 135,815,262 weighted averaged diluted common shares outstanding. For the 2017 second quarter, net income totaled $40.7 million, or $0.30 per diluted common share, based on 135,613,181 weighted averaged diluted common shares outstanding.

As previously announced on May 11, 2018, the Company completed the sale of $200 million aggregate principal amount of 2.00% convertible senior notes due 2038 (the “Notes”) in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The initial purchaser of the Notes exercised in part its over-allotment option and purchased an additional $17.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes. In aggregate, the Company received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $213.15 million, after deducting the initial purchaser’s discount but before estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.

Under the board approved share repurchase program to buy back up to $100 million of its common stock, the Company repurchased an aggregate $79.0 million of its common stock at an average repurchase price of $18.10 through June 30, 2018, thereby reducing the number of shares outstanding by 4,361,740 shares. More detailed information regarding the Notes offering and share repurchase program may be accessed in the Company’s Form 8-Ks furnished to the SEC on May 7, 2018, May 9, 2018, May 11, 2018 and June 8, 2018.

“This was a solid quarter for Bank of Hope with positive performance on nearly all fronts,” said Kevin S. Kim, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Loan originations of $792 million were strong again this quarter, and we continued to see a more balanced mix with commercial real estate loans accounting for 41%, C&I 36% and consumer 23% of new loan production.  Loans receivable increased by 13% on an annualized basis, and all of the growth came in our C&I and consumer portfolios. While deposit pricing continues to be a challenge in the current environment, the strong loan growth and higher average loan yields largely offset the impact of rising deposit costs. This contributed to a relatively stable net interest margin, excluding the impact of the recently issued convertible debt interest expense. We also saw positive asset quality trends across the portfolio with meaningful declines in criticized loans and nonperforming assets, as well as realizing $1.1 million in net recoveries for the quarter.

“Our commitment to enhancing shareholder value is exemplified by our recent convertible notes offering coupled with the meaningful share buyback program and our sixth consecutive annual increase in our cash dividend. We believe that we are only beginning to unlock the synergies of our organization, and we look forward to keeping our stakeholders apprised of our progress,” said Kim.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the 2018 second quarter increased to $122.8 million from $120.1 million in the 2018 first quarter and $116.8 million in the year-ago second quarter. The Company attributed the increase in net interest income before provision for loan losses to higher levels of interest-earning assets and improved yields.

The net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest earning assets) for the 2018 second quarter declined 5 basis points to 3.61% from 3.66% in the preceding 2018 first quarter, of which 4 basis points of the decline is attributed to the convertible debt interest expense. In the year-ago second quarter, the net interest margin was 3.75%. Excluding the impact of the recently issued convertible debt, the net interest margin was relatively stable as the strong growth in the loan portfolio and higher weighted average loan yields largely offset the impact of higher weighted average cost of deposits.

The weighted average yield on loans for the 2018 second quarter increased to 5.16%, up 12 basis points from 5.04% in the 2018 first quarter and up 27 basis points from 4.89% in the year-ago second quarter. The increase in the weighted average yield on loans largely reflects the benefits to the variable rate portion of the Company’s loan portfolio resulting from the increases in the fed funds rate in March, June and December of 2017 and March and June 2018 of 25 basis points each.

The weighted average cost of deposits for the 2018 second quarter increased to 1.06%, up 15 basis points from 0.91% in the 2018 first quarter and up 38 basis points from 0.68% in the year-ago second quarter. The increase in the weighted average cost of deposits reflects the extremely competitive deposit market, as well as an increase in the higher-rate time deposit balances in the rising interest rate environment.

Noninterest IncomeNoninterest income for the 2018 second quarter decreased to $15.3 million from $19.9 million in the 2018 first quarter, largely reflecting the $3.5 million of income in the preceding first quarter recorded on certain equity investments held by the Company and lower gains on sales of residential mortgage loans.  For the 2017 second quarter, noninterest income totaled $16.1 million. Net gains on sales of SBA loans amounted to $3.5 million, $3.5 million and $3.3 million in the 2018 second quarter, 2018 first quarter and 2017 second quarter, respectively. Net gains on sales of residential mortgage loans amounted to $431,000, $1.2 million and $352,000 for the 2018 second quarter, 2018 first quarter and 2017 second quarter, respectively.

Noninterest ExpenseNoninterest expense for the 2018 second quarter increased to $71.6 million from $68.5 million in the preceding first quarter and $64.0 million in the year-ago second quarter, largely reflecting higher levels of compensation expense and professional fees.

Salaries and employee benefits expense totaled $40.6 million for the 2018 second quarter, compared with $39.4 million for the 2018 first quarter and $34.9 million in the prior-year second quarter. The total number of FTEs, excluding employees on leave, as of June 30, 2018 was 1,491, compared with 1,502 as of March 31, 2018 and 1,378 as of June 30, 2017. The increase in compensation expense from the 2018 first quarter to the second quarter reflects higher group insurance costs and a full quarter’s impact from the FTE increase during the 2018 first quarter.

Income Tax Provision.  The effective tax rate for the 2018 second quarter was 25.9%, compared with 25.7% in the preceding 2018 first quarter and 38.5% in the 2017 second quarter. The 2018 effective tax rates reflect the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on December 22, 2017, which lowered the corporate federal tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018.

Balance Sheet Summary

Loans receivable increased 3% to $11.67 billion at June 30, 2018 from $11.29 billion at March 31, 2018, reflecting a 13% annualized growth rate. Year-over-year, loans receivable increased 8% from $10.82 billion at June 30, 2017.

New loan originations funded during the 2018 second quarter totaled $792.3 million and included SBA loan production of $87.0 million and residential mortgage loan originations of $182.1 million. This compares with 2018 first quarter originations of $764.3 million, including SBA loan production of $78.2 million and residential mortgage loan originations of $179.2 million. In the year-ago second quarter, new loans originations funded totaled $725.1 million, including SBA loan production of $109.4 million and residential mortgage loan originations of $70.8 million.

Sales of SBA loans to the secondary market and gains derived from those sales are based substantially on the production of SBA 7(a) loans. SBA 7(a) loan originations totaled $65.8 million for the 2018 second quarter, compared with $73.9 million for the first quarter of 2018 and $65.5 million for the year-ago second quarter. During the 2018 second quarter, the Company sold $52.5 million of its SBA loans held for sale, compared with $48.6 million in the immediately preceding first quarter and $46.1 million in the second quarter a year ago.

Aggregate loan pay offs and pay downs in the 2018 second quarter totaled $435.1 million, compared with $411.6 million for the immediately preceding first quarter and $432.1 million in the year-ago second quarter.

Total deposits at June 30, 2018 amounted to $11.73 billion, up 2% from $11.51 at March 31, 2018 and up 7% from $10.96 billion at June 30, 2017. Noninterest bearing demand deposits accounted for 25.9%, 26.5% and 27.5% of total deposits as of June 30, 2018, March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively.

Credit Quality

The provision for loan and lease losses for the 2018 second quarter was $2.3 million, compared with $2.5 million for the immediately preceding 2018 first quarter and $2.8 million for the year-ago second quarter.

For a more detailed understanding of the changes in the allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”), the composition of the ALLL has been segmented for disclosure purposes between loans accounted for under the amortized cost method (referred to as “legacy loans”) and loans acquired through the Wilshire Bancorp, Center Financial, Pacific International and Foster Bankshares transactions (referred to as “purchased loans”).  The purchased loans are further segregated between non-impaired and credit-impaired loans.

The composition of the ALLL as of June 30, 2018, March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017 is as follows:

(dollars in thousands) (unaudited)6/30/2018 3/31/2018 6/30/2017
Legacy loans (1)$76,048 $72,065 $65,255
Purchased non-impaired loans (2) 2,467  2,581  2,753
Purchased credit-impaired loans (2) 11,366  11,815  12,066
Total ALLL$89,881 $86,461 $80,074
         
Loans receivable$11,671,440 $11,292,483 $10,816,419
ALLL coverage ratio (excluding loans held for sale) 0.77%  0.77%  0.74%

(1)   Legacy loans include loans originated by the Bank’s predecessor banks, loans originated by Bank of Hope and loans that were acquired that have been refinanced as new loans.
(2)  Purchased loans were marked to fair value at acquisition date, and the ALLL reflects provisions for credit deterioration since the acquisition date.

The Company defines nonperforming loans to include delinquent loans on nonaccrual status, delinquent loans past due 90 days or more on accrual status (excluding purchased credit-impaired loans) and accruing restructured loans.  Nonaccrual loans were stable at $68.2 million at June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, but declined as a percentage of loans receivable to 0.58% from 0.60%.  At June 30, 2017, nonaccrual loans amounted to $47.4 million, or 0.44% of loans receivable.  Accruing restructured loans at June 30, 2018 totaled $49.2 million, down 17% from $59.6 million at March 31, 2018 and down 8% from $53.3 million at June 30, 2017.  Total nonperforming loans amounted to $120.5 million at June 30, 2018, or 1.03% of loans receivable, compared with $129.6 million, or 1.15% of loans receivable, at March 31, 2018 and $102.5 million, or 0.95% of loans receivable, at June 30, 2017.

Nonperforming assets, including nonperforming loans and OREO, totaled $129.1 million at June 30, 2018, compared with $137.9 million at March 31, 2018 and $124.3 million June 30, 2017.  As a percentage of total assets, nonperforming assets declined to 0.87% at June 30, 2018 from 0.95% at March 31, 2018 and 0.90% at June 30, 2017.

Following are the components of criticized loan balances as of June 30, 2018, March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017:

For the 2018 second quarter, the Company realized a net recovery of $1.1 million, or 0.04% of average loans receivable on an annualized basis. This compares with 2018 first quarter net charge offs of $580,000, or 0.02% of average loans receivable on an annualized basis, and 2017 second quarter net charge offs of $1.3 million, or 0.05% of average loans receivable on an annualized basis.

The ALLL at June 30, 2018 was $89.9 million, or 0.77% of loans receivable (excluding loans held for sale), compared with $86.5 million, or 0.77% of loans receivable (excluding loans held for sale), at March 31, 2018 and $80.1 million, or 0.74% of loans receivable (excluding loans held for sale), at June 30, 2017.  The coverage ratio of the ALLL to nonperforming loans (excluding purchased credit-impaired loans) was 74.61% at June 30, 2018, 66.69% at March 31, 2018 and 78.12% at June 30, 2017.

Impaired loans (defined as loans for which it is probable that not all principal and interest payments due will be collected in accordance with the contractual terms) totaled $117.8 at June 30, 2018, compared with $128.1 at March 31, 2018 and $100.7 million at June 30, 2017.
