EAST WEST BANCORP REPORTS 86% INCREASE IN EARNINGS PER
SHARE FROM PRIOR YEAR TO $0.39 AND NET INCOME OF $60.5 MILLION
FOR SECOND QUARTER 2011

Pasadena, CA – July 20, 2011 – East West Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: EWBC), parent company of East West Bank, the financial bridge between the U.S. and Asia, today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2011. For the second quarter of 2011, net income was $60.5 million or $0.39 per dilutive share. East West increased second quarter net income $24.2 million or 67% and increased earnings per dilutive share $0.18 or 86% from the prior year period.

“East West is pleased to report solid second quarter earnings of $60.5 million or $0.39 per share,” stated Dominic Ng, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of East West. “Net income increased by $24.2 million, or 67% from the prior year period and $4.5 million or 8% from the first quarter of 2011. Fueled by our strong deposit growth, total assets reached nearly $22 billion, a 10% increase from the prior year, and a 3% increase from the prior quarter. Average earning assets grew to $19.4 billion, an increase of 11% from the prior year period and an increase of 4% from the first quarter of 2011. This increase in average earning assets was driven by solid second quarter loan growth of $300.2 million or 2% to $14.0 billion at June 30, 2011.”

“East West’s solid financial performance for the second quarter resulted in improvement in almost every key financial ratio. In comparison to the first quarter of 2011, earning assets expanded 4%, the adjusted net interest margin expanded to 4.03%, fee income increased and credit quality improved. The nonperforming assets to total assets ratio is down to 0.83% and net charge-offs decreased 8% from the first quarter.”

Ng concluded, “Although the operating environment for banks remains challenging, East West continues to grow market share, increase revenue, and improve profitability. Our second quarter performance demonstrated that we are on track with all of our strategic initiatives and are well positioned to grow our franchise and provide superior and sustainable return to our shareholders.”

Management Guidance

The Company is providing updated guidance for the full year of 2011. Management currently estimates that fully diluted earnings per share for the full year of 2011 will range from $1.52 to $1.54 per dilutive share or an increase of approximately 83% to 86% from 2010. Also, this updated guidance for the full year 2011 is an increase of approximately 3% from our previously released guidance. This updated EPS guidance for the remainder of 2011 is based on the following assumptions:

·  
Stable balance sheet
·  
A stable interest rate environment and an adjusted net interest margin of approximately 4.00%
·  
Provision for loan losses of approximately $45 million for the remainder of the year
·  
Total noninterest expense of approximately $97 million to $100 million each quarter, net of amounts to be reimbursed by the FDIC
·  
Effective tax rate of approximately 37%

Balance Sheet Summary

Total assets increased 3% to $21.9 billion at June 30, 2011 compared to $21.1 billion at March 31, 2011. Average earning assets increased 4% to $19.4 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to $18.7 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The increase in total assets and average earning assets was primarily due to strong total loan growth of $300.2 million or 2% from March 31, 2011 to $14.0 billion at June 30, 2011 and an increase in investment securities of $275.1 million or 9% from March 31, 2011 to $3.2 billion at June 30, 2011.

Loans receivable totaled $14.0 billion at June 30, 2011 as compared to $13.7 billion at March 31, 2011.  During the second quarter, non-covered loan balances increased 6% or $543.4 million, to $9.7 billion at June 30, 2011. The increase in non-covered loans was primarily driven by significant growth in commercial and trade finance loans of $500.7 million or 23%. Approximately $243.4 million or 49% of this increase in commercial and trade finance loans was a result of cross-border trade finance business in Hong Kong and China. Over 80% of these cross-border trade finance loans are fully secured by cash and/or standby letters of credit issued by major financial institutions. The other approximately 51% of the commercial and trade finance loan growth is attributed to our expanded lending platform in the U.S. Additionally, during the second quarter, non-covered single family loan balances grew $84.9 million or 7% and non-covered commercial real estate loan balances grew $69.0 million or 2% from March 31, 2011.

The growth in non-covered commercial and trade finance, commercial real estate and single-family loans was partially offset by decreases in non-covered land, construction, and consumer loans during the second quarter of 2011. Land and construction loans declined by $54.7 million or 12% to $420.1 million at June 30, 2011, or only 3% of total loans receivable. The consumer portfolio declined approximately $81.6 million or 12% during the quarter primarily as a result of the transfer of certain government guaranteed student loans to loans held for sale to reflect management’s intent to sell these loans at a future date. As of June 30, 2011, we classified $326.8 million of loans as held for sale, primarily comprised of government guaranteed student loans. Further, during the quarter, we sold $212.5 million of government guaranteed student loans at a gain of approximately $5.9 million.

Covered Loans
Covered loans totaled $4.4 billion as of June 30, 2011, a decrease of $243.2 million during the second quarter. The decrease in the covered loan portfolio was mainly due to paydowns, payoffs and charge-off activity.

The covered loan portfolio is comprised of loans acquired from the FDIC-assisted acquisitions of United Commercial Bank (UCB) and Washington First International Bank (WFIB) which are covered under loss share agreements with the FDIC. During the fourth quarter of 2010 we concluded that the credit quality is better than originally estimated and we lowered the credit discount on the UCB covered loan portfolio resulting in an increase in interest income over the life of the loans. Correspondingly, with the lowered credit discount, the expected reimbursement from the FDIC under the loss sharing agreement also decreased, resulting in amortization on the FDIC indemnification asset over the life of the indemnification asset, which is recorded as a charge to noninterest income. The net decrease in the FDIC indemnification asset resulting from loan disposition activity, recoveries and amortization of the indemnification asset totaled $32.4 million in the second quarter of 2011.

In total, the net decrease in the FDIC indemnification asset and receivable recorded in noninterest income (loss) was $(18.8) million for the second quarter of 2011. The net decrease of $32.4 million discussed above was partially offset by an increase in the FDIC receivable of $13.6 million due to reimbursable expense claims. During the second quarter we incurred $17.0 million in expenses on covered loans and other real estate owned, 80% or $13.6 million of which is reimbursable from the FDIC.

Deposits and Borrowings
The increase in loans and investments was fueled by record deposit growth. During the quarter, total deposits grew $699.2 or 4% from March 31, 2011 to a record $17.1 billion. Core deposits increased to a record $9.4 billion at June 30, 2011, or an increase of $247.7 million or 3% from the first quarter and time deposits increased to $7.8 billion at June 30, 2011, or an increase of $451.4 million or 6% from the first quarter. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased by $199.9 million or 7% for the second quarter of 2011.

As of June 30, 2011, FHLB advances totaled $533.0 million, a decrease of 33% or $260.7 million from March 31, 2011 due to the prepayment of FHLB advances during the second quarter. The FHLB advances prepaid during the second quarter carried an average effective cost of 1.6%. A prepayment penalty of $4.4 million was incurred during the second quarter which is included in noninterest expense. Additionally, during the second quarter, $10.3 million of 10.9% junior subordinated debt securities were called at par. These actions were taken to better position the balance sheet, reducing borrowing costs and improving the net interest margin in the coming quarters.

Second Quarter 2011 Operating Results

Net Interest Income
The core net interest margin, excluding the net impact to interest income of $32.4 million resulting from covered loan activity and amortization of the indemnification asset, increased 9 basis points from the first quarter of 2011 to 4.03% for the second quarter. 2 The improvement in the net interest margin from the previous quarter is primarily related to an increase in yield on both investment securities and covered loans, and a stable yield on noncovered loans. Due to our strong deposit growth during the quarter, excess liquidity was deployed into investments, including short-term investments and repurchase agreements, which contributed to the improvement of our net interest margin.
 
Although our net interest margin remains strong, the extended low interest rate environment continues to be a challenge for East West and the rest of the banking industry.  East West continues to look for opportunities to minimize our cost of funds and maximize our yield through redeployment of excess liquidity into higher interest-earning assets, while also ensuring prudent interest rate risk management. Further, in the second quarter of 2011, East West prepaid $260.7 million of FHLB advances at an average effective cost of 1.6%. As a result of these actions, we expect our adjusted net interest margin to remain stable and be approximately 4.00% for the remainder of 2011.

Noninterest Income
The Company reported total noninterest income for the second quarter of 2011 of $12.5 million, compared to noninterest income of $11.0 million in the first quarter of 2011 and noninterest income of $35.7 million in the second quarter of 2010. Noninterest income in the second quarter of 2010 included a $19.5 million gain on the acquisition of WFIB.

Total fees and other operating income increased to $22.1 million for the second quarter of 2011, an increase from both the first quarter of 2011 and second quarter of 2010 as detailed below:

In comparison to the first quarter, total fees and other operating income increased 17% or $3.1 million during the second quarter, primarily due to an increase in branch fees, letter of credit fees and commissions, and foreign exchange income.  Also included in noninterest income for the second quarter of 2011 were gains on sales of student loans of $5.9 million, a net gain on sales of investment securities of $1.1 million, and gains on the sales of two bank premises of $2.2 million.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense totaled $117.6 million for the second quarter of 2011, compared to $106.8 million for the first quarter of 2011, and $125.3 million for the second quarter of 2010. The increase in noninterest expense from the first quarter of 2011 was primarily related to an increase in compensation expense, as well as an increase in credit cycle costs including legal expenses, loan related expenses and other real estate owned expenses. Compared to the prior quarter, compensation expense increased $2.6 million, other real estate owned expense increased $3.9 million, legal expenses increased by $2.7 million, and loan related expenses increased $1.2 million. In addition, included within noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2011 are prepayment penalties on FHLB advances of $4.4 million.

The increase in compensation expense for the second quarter of 2011 as compared to the first quarter of 2011 is primarily related to our continued investments in our commercial lending platform. The increase in the credit cycle costs as compared to the prior quarter is primarily related to expenses incurred on covered assets. In the second quarter, we incurred $17.0 million in expenses on covered loans and other real estate owned for which we expect that 80% or $13.6 million will be reimbursed by the FDIC. Of the $13.6 million of expenses reimbursable by the FDIC, $11.6 million is related to net writedowns and expenses on other real estate owned and $2.0 million is related to legal and other loan related expenses. Noninterest expense excluding amounts to be reimbursed by the FDIC and the prepayment penalty on FHLB advances totaled $99.6 million for the second quarter of 2011. 1

A summary of the noninterest expenses for the second quarter 2011, compared to the first quarter 2011, is detailed below:

Management anticipates that in the third quarter of 2011, noninterest expense will be approximately $97 million to $100 million, net of amounts reimbursable from the FDIC.

The effective tax rate for the second quarter was 36.8% compared to 35.2% in the prior quarter. The effective tax rate is reduced from the statutory tax rate primarily due to the utilization of tax credits related to affordable housing investments.
 
Credit Quality
 
All asset quality metrics improved during the second quarter of 2011. Nonperforming assets, excluding covered assets, decreased by $7.1 million or 4% from the prior quarter to $181.2 million or only 0.83% of total assets at June 30, 2011. The decrease in nonperforming assets was due to an $8.0 million or 5% decrease in nonaccrual loans during the second quarter of 2011.  In addition, for the seventh consecutive quarter, net charge-offs declined. Total net charge-offs decreased to $31.6 million for the second quarter of 2011, a decrease of 8% from the previous quarter and a decrease of 43% compared to the prior year quarter.

East West continues to maintain a strong allowance for non-covered loan losses at $213.8 million or 2.29% of non-covered loans receivable at June 30, 2011. This compares to an allowance for non-covered loan losses of $220.4 million or 2.50% of non-covered loans at March 31, 2011 and $249.5 million or 3.0% of outstanding loans at June 30, 2010. The provision for loan losses was $26.5 million for the second quarter of 2011, unchanged from the prior quarter, and a decrease of 52% as compared to the second quarter of 2010. Our allowance for loan losses and provision for loan losses has declined for several quarters as a result of credit quality improvement, partially offset by increases in the allowance for loan losses on commercial and trade finance loans, commensurate with the increases in these portfolios.

Management expects that the provision for loan losses will decrease in future quarters and total approximately $45 million for the remainder of 2011.
