CEO Commentary
“Hanmi achieved exceptional results in the fourth quarter, delivering our best quarterly performance of the year and closing 2024 with strong momentum,” said Bonnie Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our team’s outstanding execution generated significant earnings growth fueled by our net interest margin expansion of 17 basis points to 2.91%, disciplined expense management, and vigilant credit administration. These robust results highlight the strength of our relationship-driven banking model.”

“For the full year, we had a number of key accomplishments to advance our growth and diversification strategy. We delivered 16% growth in our C&I loan portfolio, driven primarily by the strong contribution from our Corporate Korea initiative. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits grew by 5% and now represent 33% of our total deposits. Finally, through our proactive monitoring of the portfolio and our successful resolution efforts, we further improved asset quality with nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets decreasing to 0.19%.”

“With our strong capital foundation, we are well positioned to execute on our growth strategy. Our performance is the result of our team’s unwavering dedication to serving our customers and the communities in which we operate. I want to thank each of them for their continued commitment to deliver long-term value for our shareholders,” concluded Lee.

Results of Operations
Net interest income for the fourth quarter was $53.4 million, up 6.8% from $50.1 million for the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in deposit interest expense. The decrease in deposit interest expense was primarily a result of decreases in deposit rates and the average balances of interest-bearing deposits, coupled with a 3.1% increase in the average balance of noninterest-bearing demand deposits. The rate on deposits for the fourth quarter decreased 31 basis points to 3.96%, from 4.27% for the third quarter of 2024. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits decreased to $4.36 billion for the fourth quarter of 2024, from $4.40 billion for the third quarter. The average balance of noninterest-bearing deposits for the fourth quarter increased to $1.97 billion, from $1.91 billion for the third quarter of 2024. Net interest margin (taxable equivalent) for the fourth quarter was 2.91%, up 17 basis points from 2.74% for the third quarter of 2024.

Net interest income was $202.8 million for the full year of 2024 compared with $221.3 million for 2023, a decline of 8.4%. The decrease reflected higher interest rates during 2024 compared with 2023, including an increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by an increase in interest-earning asset yields. The cost of interest-bearing deposits for 2024 year increased 81 basis points to 4.16% from 3.35% for 2023. The yield on average interest-earning assets for 2024 increased 31 basis points to 5.46% from 5.15% for 2023. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits for 2024 increased to $4.39 billion from $4.02 billion for 2023. The average balance of interest-earning assets for 2024 year increased 1.7% to $7.30 billion from $7.18 billion for 2023. The average balance of loans for 2024 year was $6.11 billion, up 2.4% from $5.97 billion for 2023. Net interest margin (taxable-equivalent) for 2024 year was 2.78% compared with 3.08% for 2023. The 30 basis point decrease in the net interest margin reflected the increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by the increase in average loan yields.

Credit loss expense for the fourth quarter was $0.9 million, compared with $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2024. Fourth quarter credit loss expense included a $0.9 million credit loss expense for loan losses. Fourth quarter net loan recoveries were $0.1 million, compared to third quarter net loan charge-offs of $0.9 million.

Credit loss expense was $4.4 million for 2024, compared with $4.3 million for 2023. The credit loss expense for 2024 was comprised of a $4.8 million credit loss expense for loan losses and a $0.4 million credit loss expense recovery for off-balance sheet items. 2023 credit loss expense was comprised of a $4.9 million credit loss expense for loan losses and a $0.6 million credit loss expense recovery for off-balance sheet items.

Noninterest income for the fourth quarter decreased $1.0 million, or 12.8%, to $7.4 million, from $8.4 million for the third quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a $0.9 million gain from the sale and leaseback of a branch property included in third quarter noninterest income. Gains on sales of SBA loans were $1.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared with $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2024. The volume of SBA loans sold for the fourth quarter decreased to $21.6 million, from $23.0 million for the third quarter of 2024, while trade premiums were 8.53% for the fourth quarter of 2024, slightly lower than 8.54% for the third quarter. Mortgage loans sold for the fourth quarter were $18.3 million, with a premium of 1.96%, compared with $20.9 million and 2.32% for the third quarter. Gains on mortgage loans sold were $0.3 million for both quarters.

Noninterest income decreased $2.6 million, or 7.6%, to $31.6 million for 2024, from $34.2 million for 2023, primarily due to a $4.0 million gain on the sale-and-leaseback of a branch property in 2023 and a $0.8 million decrease in service charges on deposits. Those items were partially offset by a $1.5 million gain on the sale of mortgage loans and a $0.9 million gain from the sale and leaseback of a branch property in 2024. The volume of SBA loans sold in 2024 declined to $93.7 million, from $100.5 million for 2023, while trade premiums increased to 8.18% for 2024, from 7.12% for 2023.

Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter decreased by $0.6 million to $34.5 million from $35.1 million for the third quarter of 2024. The decrease primarily reflects a $1.6 million gain on the sale of an other real estate owned property. Absent this gain, fourth quarter noninterest expense was up 3.1% sequentially, due to increases in advertising and promotion expense and legal fees from collections and business activities. In addition, other operating expense for the fourth quarter included a $0.5 million charge related to an SBA loan acquired in a previous acquisition, while the third quarter included a $0.3 million reimbursement for property taxes. The efficiency ratio for the fourth quarter was 56.8%, compared with 60.0% for the third quarter of 2024.

Noninterest expense increased by $4.8 million, or 3.5%, to $141.3 million for 2024, from $136.5 million for 2023. The increase reflected a $2.0 million, or 2.4%, increase in salaries and benefits, a $1.2 million increase in data processing expense, a $0.7 million increase in professional fees, and a $1.4 million increase in other operating expenses. Decreases of $0.2 million in occupancy and equipment expense and $0.2 million in supplies and communication expense partially offset the increases. The efficiency ratio for 2024 increased to 60.3%, from 53.5% for 2023, primarily due to higher expenses and lower revenue.

Stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2024, was $732.2 million, down $4.5 million from $736.7 million at September 30, 2024. The decrease was due to a $14.6 million increase in unrealized after-tax losses on securities available for sale and a $1.0 million increase in unrealized after-tax losses on cash flow hedges, all due to changes in interest rates during the fourth quarter of 2024. Hanmi also repurchased 24,500 shares of common stock, at a cost of $0.6 million, during the quarter at an average share price of $22.91. At December 31, 2024, 1,230,500 shares remain under Hanmi’s share repurchase program. Partially offsetting these decreases was $10.2 million of net income, net of dividends paid, for the fourth quarter. Tangible common stockholders’ equity was $721.1 million, or 9.41% of tangible assets, at December 31, 2024, compared with $725.7 million, or 9.42% of tangible assets at the end of the prior quarter.

Asset Quality
Loans 30 to 89 days past due and still accruing were 0.30% of loans at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024, compared with 0.24% at the end of the prior quarter.

Criticized loans totaled $165.3 million at December 31, 2024, up from $160.0 million at the end of the third quarter of 2024. The $5.3 million increase resulted from an $8.0 million increase in special mention loans and a $2.7 million decrease in classified loans. The $8.0 million increase in special mention loans included additions of $13.4 million, offset by loan reductions and pay-downs of $3.8 million, upgrades of $1.3 million and downgrades of $0.3 million. The $2.7 million decrease in classified loans resulted from $2.9 million of charge-offs, $2.4 million of payoffs, $1.4 million of upgrades and $1.6 million of amortization and paydowns, offset by loan downgrades of $2.7 million and lease downgrades of $2.9 million.

Nonperforming loans were $14.3 million at December 31, 2024, down from $15.5 million at the end of the prior quarter. The decrease primarily reflects pay-offs of $1.8 million, $1.0 million in loan upgrades, $0.8 million in paydowns, and charge-offs of $2.9 million. Offsetting the decrease were additions of $5.5 million.

Nonperforming assets were $14.4 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024, down from $16.3 million at the end of the prior quarter. As a percentage of total assets, nonperforming assets were 0.19% at December 31, 2024, and 0.21% at the end of the prior quarter.

Gross charge-offs for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $3.4 million, compared with $3.8 million for the preceding quarter. Charge-offs included $2.9 million on equipment financing agreements. Recoveries of previously charged-off loans were $3.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. As a result, there were $0.1 million of net recoveries for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to net charge-offs of $0.9 million for the prior quarter. For 2024, net charge-offs were 0.07% of average loans, compared with 0.12% for 2023.

The allowance for credit losses was $70.1 million at December 31, 2024, compared with $69.2 million at September 30, 2024. Specific allowances for loans increased $1.0 million, while the allowance for quantitative and qualitative considerations remained relatively unchanged. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to loans was 1.12% at December 31, 2024 and 1.11% at September 30, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets Ratio

Tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio is supplemental financial information determined by a method other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This non-GAAP measure is used by management in the analysis of Hanmi’s capital strength. Tangible common equity is calculated by subtracting goodwill and other intangible assets from stockholders’ equity. Banking and financial institution regulators also exclude goodwill and other intangible assets from stockholders’ equity when assessing the capital adequacy of a financial institution. Management believes the presentation of this financial measure excluding the impact of these items provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the capital strength of Hanmi. This disclosure should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

The following table reconciles this non-GAAP performance measure to the GAAP performance measure for the periods indicated:
