News Release


HOPE BANCORP REPORTS 2024 FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS;
SIGNS DEFINITIVE MERGER WITH TERRITORIAL BANCORP

LOS ANGELES - April 29, 2024 - Hope Bancorp, Inc. (“Company”) (NASDAQ: HOPE), the holding company of Bank of Hope (“Bank”), today reported unaudited financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net income totaled $25.9 million, or $0.21 per diluted common share. This compares with net income of $26.5 million, or $0.22 per diluted common share, in the fourth quarter of 2023.
“We are pleased with the progress we are making in our strategic transformation, realigning our structure around lines of business and products,” stated Kevin S. Kim, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “All our business lines exceeded their deposit goals for the first quarter of 2024; growth in customer deposits offset a planned reduction of brokered time deposits, resulting in stable balances quarter-over-quarter. Our first quarter financial results demonstrated the benefits of our more efficient structure with noninterest expenses, excluding notable items(1), decreasing 2% from the preceding fourth quarter of 2023. All our capital ratios increased quarter-over-quarter, with our tangible common equity ratio(2) rising to 9.33% and our total capital ratio rising to 14.19%, both as of March 31, 2024.

“The strength of our balance sheet positioned us well to capitalize on strategic opportunities in the market. This morning, we announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement with Territorial Bancorp, the stock holding company of Territorial Savings Bank, a $2.2 billion savings bank headquartered in Hawai‘i,” continued Kim. “Territorial has a stable, low-cost core deposit base, excellent asset quality, and provides us an entry point to the attractive Hawai‘i market, which has a large Asian American and Pacific Islander population. Moreover, the combination with Territorial would more than double the size of Hope’s residential mortgage portfolio. We expect this transaction, upon completion, to be immediately accretive to earnings, sustainably strengthening our profitability while further diversifying our franchise.”

Territorial Bancorp Merger Agreement

As concurrently announced in a joint news release issued today, the Company and Territorial Bancorp Inc. (Nasdaq: TBNK) (“Territorial”) signed a definitive merger agreement, which is expected to create the largest regional bank catering to multi-ethnic customers with full-service branches across the continental United States and Hawai‘i.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, following the completion of the transaction, Territorial shareholders will receive a fixed exchange ratio of 0.8048 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for each share of Territorial common stock they own, in a 100% stock-for-stock transaction valued at approximately $78.6 million. Based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on April 26, 2024, this represents a value of $8.82 per share of Territorial common stock, although the actual value will be determined upon transaction closing. Upon completion of the transaction, it is expected that the Company’s shareholders will own approximately 94.4% of the combined entity, and Territorial’s shareholders will own approximately 5.6%, with the actual percentages being determined as of the transaction closing date. The transaction is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for Territorial shareholders.

Upon completion of the merger, the Company intends to preserve and build upon the 100-plus year legacy of the Territorial Savings Bank brand name, culture and commitment to its local communities. Accordingly, the legacy Territorial franchise in Hawai‘i will continue to do business under the Territorial Savings Bank brand, as a trade name of Bank of Hope.

Operating Results for the 2024 First Quarter

Net income and earnings per share. Net income for the 2024 first quarter was $25.9 million, or $0.21 per diluted common share, compared with $26.5 million, or $0.22 per diluted common share, for the immediately preceding fourth quarter. Notable items impacting net income for the 2024 first quarter included $752,000 of merger-related expenses, after tax, related to the Company’s proposed acquisition of Territorial announced today; an accrual of $721,000, after tax, for an incremental Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) special assessment; and restructuring costs of $103,000, after tax, related to the Company’s strategic reorganization announced in the 2023 fourth quarter. In the immediately preceding fourth quarter, notable items impacting net income were $8.7 million of restructuring costs, after tax, and $3.1 million, after tax, accrued for an FDIC special assessment. Excluding these notable items, net income(3) for the 2024 first quarter was $27.4 million, compared with $38.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. Earnings per diluted common share excluding notable items(3) amounted to $0.23 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared with $0.32 for the three months ended December 31, 2023.

Net interest income and net interest margin. Net interest income before provision for credit losses for the 2024 first quarter totaled $115.0 million, compared with $125.9 million in the immediately preceding fourth quarter, a decrease of 9% quarter-over-quarter. First quarter 2024 net interest margin contracted 15 basis points to 2.55% from 2.70% in the 2023 fourth quarter. The linked-quarter change in net interest income and net interest margin largely reflected a decline in the average balance of loans and a higher cost of interest bearing deposits, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of time deposits and wholesale borrowings.

Noninterest income. Noninterest income for the 2024 first quarter totaled $8.3 million, compared with $9.3 million in the immediately preceding fourth quarter. Growth in deposit account service fees was offset by reductions in other income and fees. The Company continued to retain SBA 7(a)loan production on its balance sheet and did not sell any loans in the 2024 first quarter.

Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense for the 2024 first quarter was $84.8 million, including $1.0 million of merger-related expenses, an incremental accrual of $1.0 million for the FDIC special assessment, and $143,000 of restructuring-related costs, all on a pre-tax basis. For the immediately preceding fourth quarter, noninterest expense was $99.2 million, including $11.1 million of pre-tax restructuring costs and $4.0 million (pre-tax) accrued for the FDIC special assessment.

Excluding notable items, noninterest expense for the 2024 first quarter was $82.7 million, down 2% compared with $84.1 million for the 2023 fourth quarter, and down 7% compared with $88.7 million for the 2023 first quarter. First quarter 2024 salaries and employee benefits expense increased 1% quarter-over-quarter to $47.8 million, up from $47.4 million in the 2023 fourth quarter, reflecting seasonal increases in payroll taxes and vacation accruals, partially offset by reduced salary and benefits costs following the restructuring in the fourth quarter of 2023. Year-over-year, salaries and employee benefits expense decreased 16% from $57.2 million in the 2023 first quarter. Occupancy expenses decreased 6% quarter-over-quarter and 10% year-over-year, reflecting branch rationalization.

Tax rate. The effective tax rate for the 2024 first quarter was 27.9%, compared with 24.9% for the full year 2023. The provision for income taxes in the 2024 first quarter was $10.0 million and included $1.1 million of true-up adjustments, which are not expected to recur. For the full year 2024, the Company expects the effective tax rate to be approximately 26%.

(3) Net income excluding notable items and earnings per diluted common share excluding notable items are non-GAAP financial measures. Quantitative reconciliations of the most directly comparable GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures are provided in the accompanying financial information on Table Pages 9 and 10.

Cash and investment securities. At March 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.19 billion, compared with $1.93 billion at December 31, 2023.

Loans. Loans receivable of $13.72 billion at March 31, 2024, decreased 1% from $13.85 billion at December 31, 2023, reflecting declines in commercial and commercial real estate loans, partially offset by strong growth in residential mortgage loans.

Nonperforming assets. Nonperforming assets totaled $106.8 million, or 0.59% of total assets, at March 31, 2024.

The quarter-over-quarter increase in nonperforming assets largely reflects one relationship consisting of three commercial real estate loans that were accruing delinquent loans past due 90 days or more at March 31, 2024.

These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, expectations regarding Territorial Bancorp’s low-cost core deposit base, strengthening of profitability, diversification of franchise, and statements about the proposed transaction being immediately accretive. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “will,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates” or similar expressions. With respect to any such forward-looking statements, Hope Bancorp and Territorial Bancorp each claims the protection provided for in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Following the completion of the transaction, the legacy Territorial franchise in Hawai‘i will continue to do business under the Territorial Savings Bank brand, as a trade name of Bank of Hope.

Strategic Highlights of Proposed Transaction

•Adds stable, low-cost core deposit base to the combined company
•Accelerates diversification of the combined company’s loan mix through the addition of a residential mortgage portfolio with excellent asset quality
•Opportunity to grow Territorial’s market share and enhance the customer experience by leveraging the combined company’s larger balance sheet, resources and more extensive array of banking products and services
•Combined footprint expands to include attractive Hawai‘i market with large Asian American and Pacific Islander communities
•Strong levels of capital to support the growth of the combined franchise

“We believe this combination will strengthen our position as one of the leading Asian American banks in the country by expanding our footprint to the Hawaiian Islands,” stated Kevin S. Kim, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hope Bancorp, Inc. “Upon the close of the transaction, we believe Territorial’s high-quality deposit base will enhance our core funding mix and Territorial’s residential mortgage portfolio will accelerate the diversification of our loans. We look forward to building on Territorial’s 100-plus year legacy of exemplary customer service and support of local communities in a strategically important market.”

“Our merger with Hope Bancorp will bring together two companies that share long-standing commitments to our customers and the communities where we live and work,” said Allan S. Kitagawa, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Territorial Bancorp Inc. “Our name will remain Territorial Savings Bank, and we expect a seamless transition for our customers, who will continue to benefit from our strong focus on relationship banking, personalized service and tailored financial solutions.
