Hope Bancorp Reports 2019 Second Quarter Financial Results

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–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-month periods ended June 30, 2019. Net income for the 2019 second quarter totaled $42.7 million, or $0.34 per diluted common share. This compares with net income for the preceding 2019 first quarter of $42.8 million, or $0.34 per diluted common share and $47.5 million, or $0.36 per diluted common share, for the 2018 second quarter.

“Second quarter results demonstrate a number of achievements amidst challenging operating conditions for commercial banks, marked by a rapidly changing rate environment and coupled with intense competition,” said Kevin S. Kim, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hope Bancorp, Inc. “Most notably, our asset quality rebounded from the preceding quarter and improved on all fronts with considerable reductions in nonaccrual and criticized loan balances. We also began to see the initial benefits of our deposit initiatives and reported a favorable shift in the mix of our deposits to lower-cost deposit categories. Additionally, our company-wide focus on cost management enabled us to contain expenses relatively in line with prior quarters despite ongoing long-term investments in our organization. New loan originations for the quarter totaled $504 million, reflecting prudent underwriting in an aggressively priced competitive market. We are particularly pleased with the higher volumes of C&I loan originations, which accounted for 35% of new production in the quarter. However, the inverted yield curve and the growing assumption for near-term rate cuts have intensified an already competitive business environment and contributed to higher levels of payoffs, which offset our loan growth for the quarter.”

Q2 2019 Highlights

  • 2019 second quarter net income totaled $42.7 million, or $0.34 per diluted common share.
  • Asset quality improvements across the board, most notably a 25% reduction in nonaccrual loans and 9% decrease in criticized loan balances.
  • Favorable shift in deposit mix, with increases in noninterest bearing demand deposits, savings and money market balances, and decreases in time deposits. Ongoing deposit initiatives minimized the increase in total deposit costs over the preceding quarter to 5 basis points from a 17 basis point quarter-over-quarter increase in the 2019 first quarter.
  • Net loan-to-deposits (including HFS loans) as of June 30, 2019 was stable at 97.7%.
  • Noninterest expense fairly consistent with prior quarters.

Operating Results for the 2019 Second Quarter

Net Interest Income. Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the 2019 second quarter totaled $117.2 million, compared with $119.6 million in the 2019 first quarter and $122.8 million in the year-ago second quarter.

The net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest earning assets) for the 2019 second quarter was 3.31%, compared with 3.39% in the 2019 first quarter and 3.61% in the prior-year second quarter.

The weighted average yield on loans for the 2019 second quarter was 5.32%, up 1 basis point from 5.31% in the preceding first quarter. This deceleration from the 10 basis point increase in the weighted average yield on loans from the 2018 fourth quarter to the 2019 first quarter reflects the impact on new business activity of an inverted yield curve and growing assumption for near-term rate cuts. Compared with the year-ago second quarter, the weighted average yield on loans was up 16 basis points over 5.16%.

The weighted average cost of deposits for the 2019 second quarter increased 5 basis points to 1.62% from 1.57% in the preceding first quarter. This reflects a deceleration from the 17 basis point increase in the weighted average cost of deposits from the 2018 fourth quarter to the 2019 first quarter and underscores the initial successes with the Company’s deposit initiatives. Compared with the year-ago second quarter, the weighted average cost of deposits increased 56 basis points from 1.06%.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income for the 2019 second quarter totaled $12.3 million, compared with $11.4 million in the 2019 first quarter and $15.3 million in the 2018 second quarter. The variance in noninterest income typically reflects the changes in the net gains on sales of SBA and mortgage loans. As previously announced, the Company discontinued its practice of regularly selling SBA loans to the secondary market during the 2018 fourth quarter. Net gains on sales of SBA loans amounted to $0 for the 2019 second and first quarter, in contrast with a net gain of $3.5 million for the year-ago second quarter. Net gains on sales of other loans, largely residential mortgage loans, amounted to $1.1 million for the 2019 second quarter, $741,000 for the 2019 first quarter, and $431,000 for the year-ago second quarter.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for the 2019 second quarter was relatively stable totaling $71.4 million, compared with $70.8 million in the preceding first quarter and $71.6 million in the 2018 second quarter. Noninterest expense as a percentage of average assets amounted to 1.88%, 1.85% and 1.96% for the 2019 second quarter, 2019 first quarter and 2018 second quarter, respectively.

Salaries and employee benefits expense decreased to $39.3 million for the 2019 second quarter from $40.4 million for the 2019 first quarter and $40.6 million for the year-ago second quarter.

Income Tax Provision. The effective tax rate for the 2019 second quarter was 25.0%, compared with 25.2% in the preceding 2019 first quarter and 25.9% in the 2018 second quarter.

Balance Sheet Summary

Loans receivable at June 30, 2019 totaled $11.98 billion, compared with $12.05 billion at March 31, 2019 and $11.67 million at June 30, 2018.

New loan originations funded during the 2019 second quarter totaled $503.9 million and included SBA loan production of $37.2 million and residential mortgage loan originations of $74.0 million. This compares with 2019 first quarter originations of $442.0 million, including SBA loan production of $48.0 million and residential mortgage loan originations of $64.3 million. In the year-ago second quarter, new loan originations funded totaled $792.3 million, including SBA loan production of $87.0 million and residential mortgage loan originations of $182.1 million.

SBA 7(a) loan originations totaled $32.7 million for the 2019 second quarter, compared with $33.0 million for the first quarter of 2019 and $65.8 million for the year-ago second quarter. In accordance with the Company’s decision to retain SBA 7(a) loans in its portfolio, there were no sales to the secondary market during the 2019 second or first quarter. In contrast, the Company sold $52.5 million of its SBA 7(a) loans during the 2018 second quarter.

Sales of residential mortgage loans to the secondary market totaled $76.2 million in the 2019 second quarter and included $49.6 million of sales from the Company’s existing portfolio. This compares with total sales of $69.8 million in the 2019 first quarter and $12.3 million in the 2018 second quarter.

Aggregate loan payoffs and pay downs in the 2019 second quarter increased considerably to $598.5 million from $364.0 million for the 2019 first quarter and $435.1 million in the year-ago second quarter. The increase was largely due to a nearly two-fold level of pay offs versus recent quarters, reflecting the more competitive business environment and the proactive workout of problem credits identified in the preceding quarter.

Total deposits at June 30, 2019 decreased modestly to $12.17 billion from $12.25 billion at March 31, 2019, as inflows of noninterest bearing demand deposits, savings and money market accounts were more than offset by decreases in higher-cost time deposits. Total deposits at June 30, 2018 amounted to $11.73 billion.

Credit Quality

The provision for loan and lease losses for the 2019 second quarter was $1.2 million, compared with $3.0 million for the preceding 2019 first quarter and $2.3 million for the year-ago second quarter.

The Company defines nonperforming loans to include 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 at June 30, 2019 declined by 25% to $64.9 million from $86.6 million at March 31, 2019 and by 5% from $68.2 million at June 30, 2018. Nonaccrual loans as a percentage of loans receivable were 0.54%, 0.72% and 0.58% at June 30, 2019, March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. Accruing delinquent loans decreased to $353,000 at June 30, 2019 from $387,000 at March 31, 2019 and $3.0 million at June 30, 2018. Accruing restructured loans at June 30, 2019 decreased to $40.7 million from $45.2 million at March 31, 2019 and $49.2 million at June 30, 2018. Total nonperforming loans decreased to $106.0 million, or 0.89% of loans receivable, at June 30, 2019 from $132.2 million, or 1.10% of loans receivable, at March 31, 2019 and $120.5 million, or 1.03% of loans receivable, at June 30, 2018.

Other real estate owned declined to $5.6 million at June 30, 2019 from $6.3 million at March 31, 2019 and $8.7 million at June 30, 2018.
