EAST WEST BANCORP REPORTS NET INCOME FOR THIRD QUARTER 2013 OF $73.2 MILLION, UP 3% FROM PRIOR YEAR AND EARNINGS PER SHARE OF $0.53, UP 10% FROM PRIOR YEAR

Pasadena, CA – October 16, 2013 – East West Bancorp, Inc. (“East West”) (Nasdaq: EWBC), parent company of East West Bank, the financial bridge between the United States and Greater China, today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2013. For the third quarter of 2013, net income was $73.2 million or $0.53 per dilutive share. East West increased third quarter net income by $2.0 million or 3% and increased earnings per dilutive share by $0.05 or 10% from the prior year period.

“East West is pleased to report solid earnings of $73.2 million or $0.53 per share for the third quarter of 2013, an increase in earnings per share of 10% from the prior year,” stated Dominic Ng, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of East West. “East West is focused on achieving a sustainable, superior financial performance and we believe our financial results for the third quarter of 2013 are reflective of this goal. Throughout the year and continuing in the third quarter of 2013, East West has successfully grown total assets, loans, deposits and fee income. Quarter to date, total loans increased 6% or $946.7 million to a record $17.2 billion and total deposits also increased 6% or $1.1 billion to a record $20.4 billion. Further, year to date, fee income has increased 20% to $81.4 million.”

Ng continued, “With our solid financial results year to date, East West is on track for another year of record earnings. As the financial bridge between East and West, we continue to see opportunities to expand our market share, grow our profitability, and deliver strong results for our shareholders year after year.”

“Additionally, we were pleased to announce last month, that we signed a definitive agreement to acquire MetroCorp Bancshares, Inc. (“MCBI”), headquartered in Houston, Texas. MCBI has $1.6 billion in total assets and operates 18 branches under its two subsidiary banks, MetroBank and Metro United Bank. Both strategically and culturally, MCBI is a good fit with East West and we are confident in our ability to execute a successful integration. We are equally confident that this transaction will create greater value for our shareholders as we expand our presence in California and significantly increase our presence in Texas. Currently, we expect the acquisition of MCBI to close in the first quarter of 2014 and be accretive to 2014 earnings.” concluded Ng.

Third Quarter 2013 Highlights

●

Strong Third Quarter Earnings – For the third quarter of 2013, net income was $73.2 million or $0.53 per dilutive share. Net income decreased 1% or $858 thousand from the second quarter of 2013 and grew 3% or $2.0 million from the third quarter of 2012. Earnings per dilutive share grew 2% or $0.01 from the second quarter of 2013 and 10% or $0.05 from the third quarter of 2012.

●	Strong Capital Levels – Capital levels for East West remain high. As of September 30, 2013, East West’s Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based ratios were 12.4% and 14.0%, respectively, compared to the well capitalized requirements of 6% and 10%, respectively.

●

Strong Loan Growth – Quarter to date, total loans receivable (including both covered and non-covered loans) grew 6% or $946.7 million to a record $17.2 billion as of September 30, 2013. This growth was due to an 8% or $1.1 billion increase in non-covered loans, partially offset by a decrease in loans covered under loss-share agreements of 6% or $145.8 million, quarter to date. In the third quarter, we experienced growth in all non-covered loan categories. In particular, we had strong growth in single family residential loans, commercial real estate loans, consumer loans and commercial and industrial loans.

●

Strong Deposit Growth – Total deposits increased to record levels, increasing 6% or $1.1 billion to a record $20.4 billion as of September 30, 2013. During the third quarter, core deposits increased by 8% or $1.1 billion to a record $14.4 billion. The strong growth in core deposits for the quarter was fueled by a 12% or $628.4 million increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposits to a record $5.8 billion as of September 30, 2013.

●

Cost of Deposits Down 3 bps from Q2 2013 and Down 11 bps from Q3 2012 – The cost of deposits improved to 0.30% for the third quarter of 2013, down from 0.33% in the second quarter of 2013 and 0.41% in the third quarter of 2012. The cost of funds improved to 0.51% for the third quarter of 2013, down from 0.55% in the second quarter of 2013 and 0.67% in the third quarter of 2012.

●	Nonperforming Assets Down to 0.51% of Total Assets – Nonperforming assets decreased to $124.1 million, or 0.51% of total assets at September 30, 2013, a 7% or $9.4 million decrease from June 30, 2013 and a 14% or $20.0 million decrease from September 30, 2012.

Management Guidance

The Company is providing guidance for the fourth quarter and full year of 2013. Management currently estimates that fully diluted earnings per share for the full year of 2013 will range from $2.09 to $2.11, an increase of $0.20 to $0.22 or 11% to 12% from $1.89 for the full year of 2012. This EPS guidance assumes a full year adjusted net interest margin ranging from 3.51% to 3.53%1. Further, this EPS guidance for the remainder of 2013 is based on a stable balance sheet, total loan growth of approximately $400 million, (including both covered and non-covered loans), provision for loan losses of approximately $3.5 million to $5.0 million, noninterest expense, adjusted for FDIC reimbursements, of approximately $95.0 million to $100.0 million, and an effective tax rate of 34%.

Management currently estimates that fully diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2013 will range from $0.53 to $0.55, an increase of $0.04 to $0.06 or 8% to 12% from $0.49 in the fourth quarter of 2012, based on the assumptions stated above.

Balance Sheet Summary

At September 30, 2013, total assets increased 5% or $1.2 billion to $24.5 billion compared to $23.3 billion at June 30, 2013. Correspondingly, average earning assets also increased during the third quarter, up 4% or $923.1 million to $22.2 billion compared to the prior quarter. The increases in both total assets and in average earning assets during the third quarter were primarily attributable to increases in average balances for non-covered loans.

Total loans receivable increased 6% or $946.7 million to $17.2 billion at September 30, 2013, compared to $16.3 billion at June 30 2013. This quarter to date increase in loans receivable stemmed from growth in the non-covered loan portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in the covered loan portfolio. The continued trend of growth in the non-covered loan portfolio was largely due to increases in single family loans, commercial real estate loans, consumer loans and commercial and industrial loans.

Covered Loans

Covered loans, net of discount, totaled $2.4 billion as of September 30, 2013, a decrease of 6% or $145.8 million from June 30, 2013. The decrease in the covered loan portfolio was primarily due to payoffs and paydown activity, as well as charge-offs.

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 third quarter of 2013, we recorded a net decrease in the FDIC indemnification asset and receivable included in noninterest (loss)/income of ($74.5) million, largely due to the continuing payoffs and the continuing improved credit performance of the UCB portfolio as compared to our original estimate. Under the loss-share agreements with the FDIC, East West Bank is required to pay the FDIC a calculated amount if specific thresholds of losses are not reached. Included in the net decrease in the FDIC indemnification asset and receivable of ($74.5) million for the third quarter of 2013 is an expense of $15.2 million for this liability due to the continuing strong credit performance of the covered portfolios.

Deposits

At September 30, 2013, total deposits reached a record $20.4 billion, an increase of 6% or $1.1 billion from $19.3 billion at June 30, 2013. In the third quarter of 2013, we continued to execute our strategy to grow low-cost, commercial deposits while reducing our reliance on time deposits. Core deposits increased to a record $14.4 billion at September 30, 2013, an increase of 8% or $1.1 billion from June 30, 2013. The increase in core deposits during the third quarter of 2013 was largely driven by an increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposits which increased by 12% or $628.4 million to a record $5.8 billion as of September 30, 2013.

Third Quarter 2013 Operating Results

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, adjusted for the net impact of covered loan activity, totaled $192.4 million for the third quarter of 2013, an increase of $189 thousand from $192.2 million for the second quarter of 2013. The core net interest margin, considering the net impact of $61.9 million to the FDIC indemnification asset due to covered loan activity and amortization of the FDIC indemnification asset, totaled 3.44% for the third quarter of 2013. This compares to a core net interest margin of 3.62% and 3.95%, considering the net impact of $35.5 million and $25.6 million to the FDIC indemnification asset due to covered loan activity and amortization of the FDIC indemnification asset, for the second quarter of 2013 and third quarter of 2012, respectively.1

The compression in the core net interest margin compared to the prior quarter was largely due to a decrease in the yield on the loan portfolio during the third quarter. Although, the core net interest margin declined, the adjusted net interest income expanded slightly from the second quarter to $192.4 million, due to the strong growth in balances of noncovered loans and investment securities.

During the third quarter, the cost of funds decreased to 0.51%, a decrease of 4 basis points from the second quarter of 2013. Additionally, interest expense for the third quarter of 2013 was $27.5 million, a decrease of $253 thousand from the second quarter of 2013. The reduction in the cost of funds and interest expense for the quarter is primarily due to the growth of lower cost, core deposits. The Company increased core deposit balances by 8% or $1.1 billion, quarter over quarter. These actions resulted in a reduction in the cost of deposits to 0.30% for the third quarter of 2013, a reduction of 3 basis points from 0.33% in the prior quarter.

Noninterest (Loss)/ Income & Expense

The Company reported a total noninterest loss for the third quarter of 2013 of ($41.4) million, compared to a noninterest loss of ($12.4) million in the second quarter of 2013 and noninterest income of $2.8 million in the third quarter of 2012. The increase in the noninterest loss in the current quarter compared to both the prior quarter and prior year period is largely due to changes in the net reduction of the FDIC indemnification asset and FDIC receivable.

Branch fees, letter of credit and foreign exchange income, ancillary loan fees and other operating income totaled $27.0 million in the third quarter of 2013, a decrease of 11% or $3.3 million from $30.3 million in the second quarter of 2013 and an increase of 12% or $3.0 million from $24.0 million in the third quarter of 2012. In addition, included in noninterest income for the third quarter of 2013 were net gains of $3.9 million on sales of SBA loans and $1.1 million from the sale of available for sale investment securities. A summary of fees and other operating income for the third quarter of 2013, compared to the second quarter of 2013 and third quarter of 2012 is detailed below:

	Quarter Ended						% Change
($ in thousands)	September 30, 2013		June 30, 2013		September 30, 2012		(Yr/Yr)

Total fees & other operating income	$	27,013	$	30,332	$	24,029		12	%

Noninterest expense totaled $100.4 million for the third quarter of 2013, an increase of 6% or $5.9 million from the second quarter of 2013 and a decrease of $604 thousand from the third quarter of 2012.

Noninterest expense, excluding the impact of reimbursable amounts from the FDIC on covered assets and prepayment penalties for FHLB advances, totaled $97.8 million for the third quarter of 2013.1 A summary of noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2013, compared to the second quarter of 2013 and third quarter of 2012 is detailed below:

($ in thousands)	Quarter Ended
	September 30, 2013		June 30, 2013		September 30, 2012
Total noninterest expense	$	100,352	$	94,420	$	100,956
Amounts to be reimbursed by the FDIC on covered assets (80% of actual expense amount)		2,558		2,910		3,005
Prepayment penalties for FHLB advances and other borrowings		-		-		42
Noninterest expense excluding reimbursable amounts and prepayment penalties for FHLB advances and other borrowings	$	97,794	$	91,510	$	97,909

Total noninterest expense for the third quarter, excluding the impact of reimbursable amounts from the FDIC on covered assets and prepayment penalties for FHLB advances, increased 7% or $6.3 million from the prior quarter to $97.8 million for the third quarter of 2013. The increase in noninterest expense, quarter over quarter, was primarily due to an increase in legal expense which increased $3.5 million or 65% from the second quarter 2013, resulting from the resolution of litigation, including covered assets. Additionally, the Company recorded a net gain on sale of other real estate owned assets of $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2013, compared to an expense of $157 thousand in the third quarter of 2013.

The effective tax rate for the third quarter was 32.8% as compared to 33.8% 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

Non-covered Loans

The Company recorded provision for loan losses for non-covered loans of $4.5 million for the third quarter of 2013. This compares to a provision for loan losses of $8.3 million and $13.3 million for the second quarter of 2013 and third quarter of 2012. The decrease in the provision for loan losses for non-covered loans compared to the prior quarter and prior year was largely due to the reduction in net chargeoffs in the third quarter of 2013. Total net charge-offs on non-covered loans totaled $334 thousand for the third quarter of 2013, a decrease from net charge-offs of $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2013.

Nonaccrual loans, excluding covered loans, totaled $103.9 million or 0.60% of total loans at September 30, 2013, a decrease from both 0.69% of total loans at June 30, 2013 and 0.72% of total loans at September 30, 2012. The nonperforming assets to total assets ratio also decreased, down to 0.51% as of September 30, 2013, compared to 0.57% as of June 30, 2013, and 0.66% as of September 30, 2012.

The allowance for non-covered loan losses was $234.2 million or 1.60% of non-covered loans receivable at September 30, 2013. This compares to an allowance for non-covered loan losses of $233.5 million or 1.73% of non-covered loans at June 30, 2013 and $223.6 million or 2.00% of non-covered loans at September 30, 2012.

The allowance for unfunded commitments and letters of credit was $11.5 million as of September 30, 2013. The Company recorded a provision for unfunded commitments and letters of credit of $3.4 million for third quarter 2013 due to an increase in unfunded commitments on new loans, including construction loans. This compares to a reversal of provision for unfunded commitments and letters of credit of $432 thousand and $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2013 and third quarter of 2012, respectively.

Covered Loans

During the third quarter of 2013, the Company recorded a reversal of provision for loan losses of $964 thousand, on covered loans. As these loans are covered under loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC, for any charge-offs, the Company records income of 80% of the charge-off amount in noninterest income as a net increase in the FDIC receivable, resulting in a net impact to earnings of 20% of the charge-off amount.
