News Release

HOPE BANCORP REPORTS 2024 SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

LOS ANGELES - July 29, 2024 - Hope Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: HOPE), the holding company of Bank of Hope (the “Bank”), today reported unaudited financial results for its second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, net income totaled $25.3 million, or $0.21 per diluted common share. This compares with net income of $25.9 million, or $0.21 per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2024. Excluding notable items(1), net income for the 2024 second quarter was $26.6 million, or $0.22 per diluted common share.

“During the 2024 second quarter, our net interest margin expanded, our operating expenses decreased, and our return on assets improved, compared with the 2024 first quarter,” said Kevin S. Kim, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “These highlights reflect continued progress towards improving our financial performance following our strategic reorganization in the fourth quarter of last year.

“Quarter-over-quarter, total deposits were essentially stable with growth in noninterest bearing demand deposits and other customer deposits largely offsetting a planned reduction in brokered time deposits. Our cost of total deposits increased by only three basis points this quarter, a sharp deceleration from the quarterly increases over the past two years. Gross loans decreased modestly quarter-over-quarter as elevated payoffs and paydowns offset growing production volumes. Given the improved conditions in the secondary markets, we resumed SBA loan sales during the second quarter. Nonperforming assets of $67.3 million at June 30, 2024, decreased 37% from March 31, 2024, and our overall credit quality remains stable.

“Following the signing of the definitive merger agreement with Territorial Bancorp Inc. (NASDAQ: TBNK), the stock holding company of Territorial Savings Bank, on April 26, 2024, we have been diligently planning for a smooth integration,” continued Kim. “The addition of Territorial’s stable and low-cost deposit base will enhance our deposit franchise. Territorial’s residential mortgage loans, with their excellent asset quality, will accelerate the diversification of our loan portfolio. Combined, we will be the largest regional bank catering to multi-ethnic customers with full-service branches across the continental United States and Hawai‘i.”

Operating Results for the 2024 Second Quarter

Net interest income. Net interest income before provision for credit losses for the 2024 second quarter totaled $105.9 million, compared with $115.0 million in the immediately preceding first quarter, a decrease of $9.1 million, or 8%, quarter-over-quarter. Approximately $4.0 million of the quarter-over-quarter decrease was attributable to the net impact of the Company’s payoff of its Bank Term Funding Program (“BTFP”) borrowings that matured in late March 2024 and early April 2024, which the Company paid off with interest earning cash.

Net interest margin expansion. Net interest margin for the 2024 second quarter expanded to 2.62%, up seven basis points from 2.55% in the 2024 first quarter, largely reflecting a favorable earning asset mix shift. The 2024 second quarter yield on average earning assets was 5.76%, unchanged from the first quarter of 2024. The cost of average interest bearing liabilities was 4.55% in the second quarter of 2024, up only two basis points from 4.53% in the preceding first quarter.

Cost of deposits. The quarter-over-quarter rate of change in deposit costs substantially slowed. The average cost of total deposits for the 2024 second quarter was 3.39%, an increase of three basis points from 3.36% in the preceding first quarter. This rate of change compares favorably with the 21 basis point quarter-over-quarter increase in the average cost of total deposits in the 2024 first quarter, and with the quarterly rates of change experienced in 2023 and 2022.

(1) Net income, excluding merger-related expenses, restructuring-related charges and the FDIC special assessment (also referred to collectively as the “notable items”), is a non-GAAP financial measure. Quantitative reconciliations of the most directly comparable GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures are provided in the accompanying financial information on Table Pages 10 and 11.

Noninterest income. Noninterest income for the 2024 second quarter increased to $11.1 million, up 34% from $8.3 million in the immediately preceding first quarter, primarily reflecting $2.0 million of net gains on the sale of SBA loans. During the 2024 second quarter, the Company resumed sales of the guaranteed portion of its SBA 7(a) loans. There were no such SBA gains on sale in the immediately preceding first quarter.

Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense for the 2024 second quarter decreased 5% to $81.0 million from $84.8 million in the immediately preceding first quarter, and was down 7% year-over-year from $87.2 million in the 2023 second quarter. The Company continues to manage expenses closely following its restructuring in the fourth quarter of 2024. Excluding notable items(2), noninterest expense for the 2024 second quarter was $79.1 million, down 4% compared with $82.4 million for the 2024 first quarter, and down 9% year-over-year. Noninterest expense for the 2024 second quarter included notable items comprising $1.6 million of merger-related expenses, $576,000 of restructuring-related costs, and a $309,000 reversal of accrual related to the FDIC special assessment, all on a pre-tax basis. For the 2024 first quarter, noninterest expense included notable items comprising $1.0 million of merger-related expenses, an incremental accrual of $1.0 million for the FDIC special assessment, and $402,000 of restructuring-related costs, all on a pre-tax basis.

Salaries and employee benefits expense for the 2024 second quarter was $44.1 million, a 7% quarter-over-quarter decrease from $47.6 million in the 2024 first quarter, which included seasonally higher items such as payroll tax accruals. Year-over-year, salaries and employee benefits expense decreased 16% from $52.3 million in the 2023 second quarter, reflecting the results of the restructuring.

Tax rate. The year-to-date effective tax rate for the first half of 2024 was 27.4%, compared with the year-to-date effective tax rate of 26.0% for the first half of 2023. For the full year 2024, the Company expects the effective tax rate to be approximately 26%.

Balance Sheet Summary

Cash and investment securities. At June 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents totaled $654.0 million, compared with $1.19 billion at March 31, 2024, and $2.30 billion at June 30, 2023. The linked-quarter and year-over-year changes in cash and cash equivalents primarily reflected the payoff of the Company’s BTFP borrowings in March and April of 2024. Investment securities totaled $2.17 billion at June 30, 2024, $2.28 billion at March 31, 2024, and $2.19 billion at June 30, 2023.

Loans. Gross loans of $13.64 billion at June 30, 2024, decreased $86.6 million, or less than 1%, from $13.72 billion at March 31, 2024. During the 2024 second quarter, the Company sold $29.8 million of the guaranteed portion of its SBA 7(a) loans held for sale. Quarter-over-quarter, commercial and industrial loans decreased, reflecting elevated payoffs and paydowns. This was partially offset by continued strong growth in residential mortgage loans and essentially stable commercial real estate loan balances.

(2) Noninterest expense, excluding merger-related expenses, restructuring-related charges and the FDIC special assessment (also referred to collectively as the “notable items”), is a non-GAAP financial measure. Quantitative reconciliations of the most directly comparable GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures are provided in the accompanying financial information on Table Pages 10 and 11.

If the transaction is consummated, factors that may cause actual outcomes to differ from what is expressed or forecasted in these forward-looking statements include, among things: difficulties and delays in integrating Hope Bancorp and Territorial Bancorp and achieving anticipated synergies, cost savings and other benefits from the transaction; higher than anticipated transaction costs; deposit attrition, operating costs, customer loss and business disruption following the merger, including difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees and customers, may be greater than expected; and required governmental approvals of the merger may not be obtained on its proposed terms and schedule, or without regulatory constraints that may limit growth. Other risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: possible further deterioration in economic conditions in Hope Bancorp’s areas of operation or elsewhere; interest rate risk associated with volatile interest rates and related asset-liability matching risk; liquidity risks; risk of significant non-earning assets, and net credit losses that could occur, particularly in times of weak economic conditions or times of rising interest rates; the failure of or changes to assumptions and estimates underlying Hope Bancorp’s allowances for credit losses; potential increases in deposit insurance assessments and regulatory risks associated with current and future regulations; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Hope Bancorp; the risk that any announcements relating to the proposed transaction could have adverse effects on the market price of the common stock of Hope Bancorp; and diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities. For additional information concerning these and other risk factors, see Hope Bancorp’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Hope Bancorp does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of events or circumstances after the date of such statements except as required by law.
