LOS ANGELES - January 30, 2018 - Hope Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: HOPE), the holding company of Bank of Hope (the “Bank”), today reported unaudited financial results for its three months and full year ended December 31, 2017.

The mergers of Wilshire Bancorp, Inc. (“Wilshire”) with and into BBCN Bancorp, Inc. (“BBCN”) and Wilshire Bank with and into BBCN Bank were completed on July 29, 2016, and the combined companies commenced operations under the new banners of Hope Bancorp, Inc. and Bank of Hope, respectively, effective July 30, 2016. The 2017 financial results reflect four full quarters and a full year of combined operations. While the 2016 fourth quarter financial results reflect a full quarter of combined operations, the 2016 full-year results reflect seven months of stand-alone operations of the former BBCN and five months of combined operations. As a result, the Company’s financial results for the 2017 full year may not be comparable to financial results for the corresponding 2016 full year.

Fourth quarter 2017 financial results include a one-time, non-cash, incremental income tax expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income of $25.4 million resulting from the revaluation of its deferred tax assets and liabilities (the “DTA”) and low income housing tax credit (the “LIHTC”) investments due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) on December 22, 2017. This one-time, non-cash charge adversely impacted the Company’s diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter by $0.19 per share and its tangible book value by $0.19 per share. The estimates of the impact of the Tax Act on the Company are preliminary and subject to additional procedures and analyses.

For the three months ended December 31, 2017, net income totaled $18.0 million, or $0.13 per diluted common share. Excluding the one-time, non-cash tax expense noted above, net income totaled $43.4 million, or $0.32 per diluted common share. This compares with 2017 third quarter net income of $44.6 million, or $0.33 per diluted common share, and 2016 fourth quarter net income of $40.6 million, or $0.30 per diluted common share.

Net income for 2017 totaled a record $139.4 million, or $1.03 per diluted common share, based on weighted average diluted shares of 135,684,969. Excluding the one-time, non-cash tax expense, net income totaled $164.9 million, or $1.22 per diluted common share. This compares with 2016 net income of $113.7 million, or $1.10 per diluted common share, based on weighted average diluted shares of 103,530,318.

There were no Tax Act-related adjustments to the Company’s 2017 third quarter, 2016 fourth quarter and 2016 full-year financial results. Net income and diluted earnings per share excluding tax reform adjustments are non-GAAP financial measures. See the reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures in the accompanying financial information.

“We completed our first full year of operations as the representative bank of the Korean-American community with a solid performance on numerous fronts,” said Kevin S. Kim, President and Chief Executive Officer. “New loan originations topped the preceding quarter totaling $664 million and included another record performance from our residential mortgage operations with $193 million in new production. We saw a significant decline in nonaccrual loans during the quarter, and our outlook for asset quality remains strong. With the steady growth in our loan portfolio and improved yields for our interest-earning assets, our net interest income before provision for loan losses continued to trend positively, up 3% from the preceding quarter. While our deposit balances dipped temporarily at year-end, our average deposit balances continued to hold strong notwithstanding the extremely competitive deposit market.

“Although the 2017 fourth quarter included several non-core items that impacted our bottom line results, most notably due to the enactment of the Tax Act, we anticipate recovering the one-time, non-cash charge by approximately the end of the third quarter of 2018 through lower quarterly tax provision expenses. We are making significant enhancements to our overall enterprise risk infrastructure, and believe Bank of Hope is well positioned to benefit from the recent tax reforms and deliver even greater returns to our shareholders, customers and employees in 2018 and beyond,” said Kim.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the 2017 fourth quarter increased to $126.4 million from $123.3 million in the immediately preceding third quarter and from $117.2 million in the year-ago fourth quarter.

The net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest earning assets) for the 2017 fourth quarter increased 1 basis point to 3.84% from 3.83% in the 2017 third quarter and increased 9 basis points from 3.75% in the year-ago fourth quarter. The increases in the Company’s weighted average yield on loans were largely offset by increases in the weighted average cost of deposits.

The weighted average yield on loans for the 2017 fourth quarter increased 5 basis points to 5.12% from 5.07% in the 2017 third quarter and increased 32 basis points from 4.80% in the 2016 fourth quarter. The weighted average yield on new loans originated for the 2017 fourth quarter increased 2 basis points to 4.42% from 4.40% in the 2017 third quarter and increased 27 basis points from 4.15% in the year-ago fourth quarter.

The weighted average cost of deposits for the 2017 fourth quarter increased 5 basis points to 0.80% from 0.75% in the 2017 third quarter and increased 25 basis points from 0.55% in the year-ago fourth quarter.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income for the 2017 fourth quarter increased 1% to $16.5 million from $16.2 million in the 2017 third quarter. Compared with the 2017 third quarter, the net gain on sale of SBA loans decreased to $2.6 million from $3.6 million, while the net gain on sale of residential mortgage loans increased to $1.3 million from $847,000. During the 2017 fourth quarter, the Company sold $131.2 million in securities available for sale and posted a gain of $301,000, compared with a gain on sale of securities available for sale of $0 and $2,000 for the 2017 third quarter and 2016 fourth quarter, respectively. Noninterest income for the 2016 fourth quarter totaled $18.2 million and included a $3.7 million gain on sale of SBA loan and a $1.4 million gain on sale of residential mortgage loans.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased 18% to $73.0 million in the 2017 fourth quarter from $61.8 million in the 2017 third quarter and increased 9% from $66.7 million in the year-ago fourth quarter. The 2017 fourth quarter reflected elevated levels of noninterest expense due to several items, which were one-time or non-core in nature. Following an analysis of its LIHTC investments on an individual investment basis as a result of the passage of the Tax Act, the Company recognized a $3.3 million LIHTC impairment during the 2017 fourth quarter. 2017 fourth quarter noninterest expense also included $2.2 million of expenses related to special projects, as well as $1.0 million in expenses

following an annual reassessment of the Company’s BOLI liabilities. In addition, noninterest expense for the preceding 2017 third quarter benefited from a $2.8 million reversal of an off-balance sheet provision for unfunded loan commitments, as previously announced. The Company had no such benefit in the 2017 fourth quarter.

Salaries and employee benefits expense for the 2017 fourth quarter increased 10% to $39.6 million from $36.0 million for the immediately preceding third quarter and increased 16% from $34.2 million for the year-ago fourth quarter. In addition to the BOLI expense noted above, salaries and employee benefits expense reflected higher costs associated with an increase in FTEs. The total number of FTEs, excluding employees on leave, as of December 31, 2017 was 1,470, up from 1,463 as of September 30, 2017 and 1,382 as of December 31, 2016.

Income Tax Provision. The effective tax rate for the 2017 fourth quarter was 72.8%, compared with 38.3% for the 2017 third quarter and 40.1% for the fourth quarter a year ago. Excluding the $25.4 million charge related to the revaluation of the Company’s DTA and LIHTC investments, the effective tax rate for the 2017 fourth quarter would have been 34.4%.

As a result of the tax reform which lowered the corporate federal tax rate from 35% to 21%, the Company expects its effective tax rate for 2018 will be in the range of 25%.

Balance Sheet Summary

Loans receivable increased to $11.10 billion at December 31, 2017 from $10.96 billion at September 30, 2017, reflecting a 5% annualized growth rate. At December 31, 2016, loans receivable totaled $10.54 billion.

SBA 7(a) loan originations represented 100% of SBA production for the 2017 fourth quarter and totaled $66.7 million. This compares with SBA 7(a) loan production of $67.9 million for the third quarter of 2017 and $62.5 million for the year-ago fourth quarter.

Credit Quality

The provision for loan and lease losses for the 2017 fourth quarter was $3.6 million, compared with $5.4 million for the immediately preceding third quarter and $800,000 for the year-ago fourth quarter.

For a more detailed understanding of the changes in the allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”), the composition of the ALLL has been segmented for disclosure purposes between loans accounted for under the amortized cost method (referred to as “legacy loans”) and loans acquired through the Wilshire Bancorp, Center Financial, Pacific International and Foster Bankshares transactions (referred to as “purchased loans”). The purchased loans are further segregated between non-impaired and credit-impaired loans.

Capital

At December 31, 2017, the Company continued to exceed all regulatory capital requirements to be generally classified as a “well-capitalized” financial institution, as summarized in the following table:



	12/31/2017⁽¹⁾	9/30/2017	12/31/2016	Minimum Guideline for “Well-Capitalized” Institution
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital	12.27%	12.29%	12.10%	6.50%
Tier 1 Leverage Ratio	11.52%	11.78%	11.49%	5.00%
Tier 1 Risk-based Ratio	13.08%	13.10%	12.92%	8.00%
Total Risk-based Ratio	13.79%	13.81%	13.64%	10.00%

⁽¹⁾

The Company’s regulatory capital ratios for December 31, 2017 may change with the proposed Accounting Standard Update, which will require certain disproportionate tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income that resulted from the Tax Act to be reclassified to retained earnings. Formal guidance on the proposed Accounting Standard Update is expected to be adopted prior to the Company’s filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Tangible common equity per share and as a percentage of tangible assets are summarized in the following table:



	12/31/2017	9/30/2017	12/31/2016
Tangible common equity per share ⁽¹⁾	$10.68	$10.72	$10.15
Tangible common equity per share, excluding tax reform adjustments ⁽¹⁾	$10.87	$10.72	$10.15
Tangible common equity to tangible assets ⁽¹⁾	10.54%	10.63%	10.60%

⁽¹⁾

Tangible common equity as a percentage of equity and tangible assets, are non-GAAP financial measures that represents common equity less goodwill and net other intangible assets divided by equity and total assets less goodwill and net other intangible assets, respectively. Management reviews tangible common equity to equity and tangible assets in evaluating the Company’s capital levels and has included these figures in response to market participant interest in tangible common equity as a measure of capital. The accompanying financial information includes a reconciliation of the ratio of tangible common equity to equity and tangible assets with stockholders’ equity to total assets and a reconciliation of tangible common equity per share, excluding tax reform adjustments.
