HOPE BANCORP REPORTS 2020 THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS


LOS ANGELES - October 20, 2020 - Hope Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: HOPE), the holding company of Bank of Hope (the “Bank”), today reported unaudited financial results for its three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, net income totaled $30.5 million, or $0.25 per diluted common share, compared with $26.8 million, or $0.22 per diluted common share for the 2020 second quarter. In the year-ago third quarter, net income totaled $42.6 million, or $0.34 per diluted common share.

“We continue to manage our business well in this most challenging operating environment as evidenced by the many positive trends in our 2020 third quarter,” said Kevin S. Kim, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hope Bancorp, Inc. “The continued success we are having in reducing our deposit costs resulted in a 7% quarter-over-quarter increase in net interest income and a 12 basis point expansion in our net interest margin. Contributing to a 23 basis point reduction in our cost of deposits, noninterest bearing demand deposits increased 11% quarter-over-quarter and accounted for 32% of total deposits at quarter end. We also made significant progress during the quarter redeploying the excess liquidity that was built up as a precautionary measure in light of COVID-19. Altogether with our cost containment efforts, we saw improvement in our efficiency ratio.

“Asset quality remains top of mind as we continue to help our borrowers manage through the impact of the pandemic. Overall, credit trends remain stable with meaningful reductions in nonaccrual loans and restructured loans. Underscoring the protracted impact COVID-19 is having on the economy, we further increased our allowance for credit losses to 1.37% of total loans at September 30, 2020 from 1.26% at June 30, 2020. We believe we are taking appropriate mitigating actions for the current environment and remain confident in our ability to continue supporting our customers and communities while delivering solid financial performance for our shareholders.”

Q3 2020 Highlights
Net interest income before provision for credit losses increased 7% to $117.6 million from Q2 2020, largely benefiting from meaningful reductions in interest expense due to lower cost of deposits.
Net interest margin expanded 12 basis points quarter-over-quarter benefiting from continued reduction in deposit costs and redeployment of excess liquidity.
Noninterest bearing deposits increased 11% by $452 million quarter-over-quarter and accounted for 32% of total deposits at quarter end.
Favorable mix-shift to lower-cost core deposits continued and total deposit costs decreased 23 basis points quarter-over-quarter.
Loan originations of $782 million included $301 million in utilization of new warehouse mortgage lines and contributed to a 2% increase in loans receivable quarter-over-quarter, or 8% annualized.
Noninterest expenses were well contained, and efficiency ratio improved to 54.31% from 55.37% in Q2 2020.
ROA and ROTCE improved to 0.72% and 7.80%, respectively, from 0.64% and 6.94% in Q2 2020.
Nonperforming loans decreased 16% quarter-over-quarter to $106.2 million, or 0.81% of loans receivable.

Operating Results for the 2020 Third Quarter
Net interest income before provision for credit losses for the 2020 third quarter increased 7% to $117.6 million from $109.8 million in the 2020 second quarter and increased 1% from $116.3 million in the 2019 third quarter. The Company attributed the increases to significant reductions in interest expense predominantly as a result of meaningful decreases in its total cost of deposits each period over the past four quarters. In addition, the Company reduced its FHLB borrowings by $300 million, or 60%, during the 2020 third quarter as part of an initiative to deploy excess liquidity built up in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, which further reduced interest expense.

The net interest margin for the 2020 third quarter increased 12 basis points to 2.91% from 2.79% in the preceding second quarter. The primary factor contributing to the margin expansion was a 23 basis point reduction in total cost of deposits, which benefited net interest margin by approximately 15 basis points in the 2020 third quarter. The net interest margin for the 2019 third quarter was 3.25%.

3-3-3    NASDAQ: HOPE

The weighted average yield on loans for the 2020 third quarter was generally stable, decreasing 3 basis points to 4.20% from 4.23% in the 2020 second quarter. In the year-ago third quarter, the weighted average yield on loans was 5.27%.

The weighted average cost of deposits for the 2020 third quarter decreased 23 basis points to 0.64% from 0.87% for the 2020 second quarter and decreased 98 basis points from 1.62% for the year-ago third quarter. The significant improvements in the weighted average cost of deposits reflects in part the Company’s ongoing success with its initiative to enhance its deposit mix to favor lower-cost core deposits, as well as strategic reductions in the offering rates on its interest bearing deposit accounts over the past four quarters.

Noninterest income for the 2020 third quarter increased 56% to $17.5 million from $11.2 million for the preceding second quarter and $13.0 million for the 2019 third quarter. The largest factor contributing to the increase was a $7.5 million net gain on the sale of $161 million of available-for-sale investment securities. This compares with zero in the 2020 second quarter and $153,000 in the 2019 third quarter. In addition, net gains on sales of other loans from sales of new residential mortgage originations increased to $2.9 million in the 2020 third quarter from $1.7 million in the preceding second quarter and $804,000 in the 2019 third quarter. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in other income and fees, which amounted to $1.7 million in the 2020 third quarter, compared with $4.4 million in the 2020 second quarter, largely reflecting a fair value change in derivatives as well as lower swap fee income. In the 2019 third quarter, other income and fees amounted to $4.9 million.

Noninterest expense for the 2020 third quarter totaled $73.4 million, compared with $67.0 million for the preceding second quarter and $70.0 million for the 2019 third quarter. During the 2020 third quarter, the Company incurred a $3.6 million prepayment penalty related to the early payoff of $300 million in FHLB borrowings discussed above. There were no such fees in the preceding second quarter or 2019 third quarter.

Salaries and employee benefits expense totaled $40.7 million, $38.9 million and $41.6 million for the 2020 third quarter, 2020 second quarter and 2019 third quarter. As disclosed last quarter, PPP loan origination costs of $5.2 million were deferred in the 2020 second quarter and materially reduced compensation expense for that quarter alone. Excluding the impact of the PPP loan origination costs in the 2020 second quarter, salaries and employee benefits expense declined quarter-over-quarter, as the 4% workforce reduction at the beginning of the third quarter reduced base salary and benefits expense by $1.6 million in the 2020 third quarter.

Noninterest expense as a percentage of average assets was 1.73% for the 2020 third quarter, 1.60% for the 2020 second quarter and 1.85% for the 2019 third quarter. Excluding the FHLB prepayment penalty, noninterest expense as a percentage of average assets for the 2020 third quarter was 1.64%.

The effective tax rate for the 2020 third quarter was 23.3%, compared with 26.8% for the preceding second quarter and 25.5% in the year-ago third quarter. The decrease in the effective tax rate for 2020 third quarter reflects projected annual income for 2020.

Balance Sheet Summary
New loan originations funded during the 2020 third quarter totaled $782.4 million and included non-PPP traditional SBA loan production of $48.2 million and residential mortgage loan originations of $102.3 million. In addition, four new warehouse mortgage lines of credit aggregating $500 million were booked during the 2020 third quarter, of which $301 million was funded as of September 30, 2020 and included in new loan originations for the 2020 third quarter. For the preceding 2020 second quarter, new loan originations funded totaled $832.0 million, including SBA PPP loan originations of $480.1 million, traditional SBA loan production of $5.9 million and residential mortgage loan originations of $72.3 million. In the year-ago third quarter, new loan originations funded totaled $693.9 million, including SBA loan production of $53.8 million and residential mortgage loan originations of $58.5 million. There were no new warehouse mortgage lines of credit established in the 2020 second quarter and 2019 third quarter.

At September 30, 2020, loans receivable increased 1.9% to $13.12 billion from $12.87 billion at June 30, 2020 and increased 8.4% from $12.10 billion at September 30, 2019.

Total deposits at September 30, 2020 decreased 0.8% quarter-over-quarter to $14.01 billion from $14.12 billion at June 30, 2020, reflecting a continuing positive shift in the mix of deposits. An increase of $452.1 million in noninterest bearing

demand deposits during the 2020 third quarter and a decrease of $511.9 million in time deposits were the primary factors contributing to the quarter-over-quarter change in total deposits.

At September 30, 2020, cash and due from banks totaled $629.1 million, a 57% reduction from $1.47 billion at June 30, 2020. During the 2020 third quarter, the Company made significant progress in redeploying excess liquidity on its balance sheet, which included an early payoff of $300 million in Federal Home Loan Borrowings, which had the positive effect of increasing net interest income by $503,000 and enhancing net interest margin by approximately 3.5 basis points in the 2020 third quarter. Other excess liquidity redeployment initiatives included further reduction of higher-cost time deposits and funding new loan growth for the quarter.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The 2020 third quarter provision for credit losses under the CECL methodology was $22.0 million, compared with $17.5 million for the preceding second quarter. This compares with a provision for loan losses under the prior incurred loss methodology of $2.1 million for the 2019 third quarter.

The provision for credit losses for the 2020 third quarter reflects updated macroeconomic variables incorporating the Moody’s Analytics Baseline scenario published September 2020, updated qualitative factors in the Company’s ACL methodology, relatively stable asset quality metrics and a low level of credit losses, as well as additional management overlays related to COVID-19 modifications and the recognition of risk from granting longer term modifications.
