LOS ANGELES, Oct. 18, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hope Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: HOPE), the holding company of Bank of Hope (the “Bank”), today reported financial results for its three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016.

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 company began operations under the new banners of Hope Bancorp, Inc. and Bank of Hope effective July 30, 2016.  The 2016 third quarter financial results reflect approximately one month of stand-alone operations of the former BBCN and two months of combined operations following the completion of the merger.  As a result, the Company’s 2016 third quarter financial results may not be comparable to financial results in prior periods.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, net income totaled $26.1 million, or $0.22 per diluted common share based on 116,653,168 weighted average diluted shares outstanding, and included merger-related expenses of $11.2 million before tax.  This compares with net income of $23.4 million, or $0.29 per diluted common share based on 79,634,762 weighted average diluted shares outstanding, for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and $25.1 million, or $0.32 per diluted common share based on 79,584,536 weight average diluted shares outstanding, for the three months ended September 30, 2015.  Merger-related expenses for the 2016 second quarter and 2015 third quarter amounted to $1.5 million and $24,000, respectively.

“It has certainly been an exciting and busy quarter for our new company as we merged the former BBCN and Wilshire to form the only Korean-American super regional bank in the United States,” said Kevin S. Kim, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hope Bancorp, Inc.  “We are very pleased with the progress made to date, and believe our past experience with mergers and acquisitions has been invaluable in helping us anticipate potential issues and effectively plan and execute the integration.  I believe we are off to a very good start in leveraging the strengths of our organization, and clearly anticipate our financial performance will improve as merger-related costs dissipate and we begin to realize the cost savings and other synergies that we expect from the merger.  Despite the significant time and resources dedicated to completing the merger and integrating the two banks, new loan volumes were solid.  We are particularly pleased with the improved mix of loan originations with commercial and industrial loans accounting for 31% of total loan originations for the quarter and commercial real estate 52%.

“With the strong momentum we have built from the merger, we are very optimistic about the future of our organization and the value proposition that we provide to our customers, employees and shareholders.  Given the significantly enhanced scale, convenience and brand recognition that we have as the definitive leader in our community, we believe we are well positioned to capture additional market share in both well established and newly developing markets.  We look forward to keeping everyone apprised of our ongoing achievements,” said Kim.

Operating Results for the 2016 Third Quarter

The comparability of Hope Bancorp’s operating results with past performance is impacted by acquisition accounting adjustments and merger-related expenses associated with past and current acquisitions.  The Company provides the following supplemental information to facilitate a better understanding of financial performance.  Net interest income and operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2016, June 30, 2016, and September 30, 2015 include the following pre-tax acquisition accounting adjustments and merger-related expenses associated with past and current acquisitions:

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin.  Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the 2016 third quarter totaled $103.5 million, an increase of 46% over $71.1 million in the preceding 2016 second quarter and an increase of 50% over $68.8 million in the prior-year third quarter.  The increase in net interest income is primarily attributable to the significantly higher level of interest earning assets following the merger.

The net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest earning assets) and the impact of acquisition accounting adjustments are summarized in the following table:

 Three Months Ended
 9/30/2016 6/30/2016 change 9/30/2015 change
Net interest margin, excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments3.48% 3.53% (0.05) 3.60% (0.12)

Net interest margin3.77% 3.67% 0.10  3.87% (0.10)

The net interest margin for the 2016 third quarter was 3.77%, up 10 basis points from the preceding second quarter, but down 10 basis points when compared with the year-ago third quarter.  On a core basis, excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments, the net interest margin for the 2016 third quarter declined by 5 basis points from the preceding second quarter and 12 basis points from the third quarter a year ago.

The weighted average yield on loans and the impact of acquisition accounting adjustments are summarized in the following table:

 Three Months Ended
 9/30/2016 6/30/2016 change 9/30/2015 change
Weighted average yield on loans, excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments4.55% 4.63% (0.08) 4.62% (0.07)

Weighted average yield on loans4.80% 4.80%   4.94% (0.14)

The weighted average yield on loans for the 2016 third quarter was steady when compared with the preceding 2016 second quarter, but declined 14 basis points from the year-ago third quarter.  On a core basis, excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments, the weighted average yield on loans declined by 8 basis points from the preceding second quarter and 7 basis points from the 2015 third quarter.

The weighted average yield on new loans originated during the 2016 third quarter was 4.03%, compared with 4.28% in the preceding 2016 second quarter and 4.23% in the year-ago third quarter.

The weighted average cost of deposits and the impact of acquisition accounting adjustments are summarized in the following table:

 Three Months Ended
 9/30/2016 6/30/2016 change 9/30/2015 change
Weighted average cost of deposits, excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments0.64% 0.64%   0.57% 0.07

Weighted average cost of deposits0.56% 0.64% (0.08) 0.57% (0.01)

The weighted average cost of deposits for the 2016 third quarter decreased 8 basis points from the preceding second quarter and 1 basis point from the year-ago third quarter.  On a core basis, excluding the effect of premium amortization on time deposits assumed in acquisitions, the weighted average cost of deposits was stable compared with the preceding second quarter and increased 7 basis points when compared with the 2015 third quarter.

Noninterest Income Noninterest income for the 2016 third quarter totaled $14.1 million, compared with $10.7 million in the preceding 2016 second quarter and $11.2 million in the year-ago third quarter.  The Company noted that the increase is largely attributed to the completion of the merger during the quarter, which positively impacted service fees on deposit accounts and other income and fees.  In addition, the Company posted a $948,000 net gain on the sale of securities available-for-sale after restructuring its investment portfolio post-merger, and recorded a $1.5 million gain on sale of other loans from its combined mortgage operations.  Offsetting these increases was a gain on sales of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans of just $230,000 in the 2016 third quarter.

In comparison, gains on sales of SBA loans amounted to $3.0 million in the 2016 second quarter and $3.4 million in the 2015 third quarter.  The Company did not recognize any gain on sales of securities available-for-sale in the 2016 second quarter and 2015 third quarter, but recorded $43,000 and $26,000 in gains on sales of other loans in the comparable quarters, respectively.

Noninterest Expense.  Total noninterest expense for the 2016 third quarter, 2016 second quarter and 2015 third quarter amounted to $67.8 million, $40.3 million and $36.8 million, respectively.  The Company noted that the increase in the current quarter is largely attributed to the combination of the two predecessor companies during the quarter and merger-related expenses.  Excluding merger-related expenses of $11.2 million, $1.5 million and $24,000 for the 2016 third quarter, 2016 second quarter and 2015 third quarter, respectively, total noninterest expense would have been $56.6 million, $38.8 million and $36.7 million.  Noninterest expense excluding merger-related expenses is a non-GAAP financial measure.  Management believes total noninterest expense excluding merger-related expenses more accurately reflects the Company’s results of operations in the overall evaluation of its performance.  A reconciliation of the noninterest expense excluding merger-related expenses is included in the accompanying financial tables.

Salaries and employee benefits expense totaled $30.5 million for the 2016 third quarter, $21.8 million for the 2016 second quarter and $21.5 million for the year-ago third quarter. The total number of FTEs for the combined company as of September 30, 2016 was 1,400.  At June 30, 2016, the total number of FTEs was 918 for former BBCN and 549 for former Wilshire, aggregating to 1,467.  The total number of FTEs a year earlier at September 30, 2015 was 941 for former BBCN.

As previously reported, the Company announced its branch optimization plan that includes a first phase of branch consolidations to be completed by year-end 2016.  These branch consolidations are expected to result in costs savings of approximately $11 million pre-tax on an annual basis beginning in 2017.  During the 2016 third quarter, the Company recorded $1.9 million in one-time charges pre-tax related to the branch consolidations.

Income Tax Provision.  The effective tax rate for the 2016 third quarter was 39.7%, compared with 41.8% for the preceding 2016 second quarter and 41.1% for the 2015 third quarter.

Balance Sheet Summary

Loans receivable totaled $10.56 billion at September 30, 2016, reflecting a 60% increase over $6.58 billion at June 30, 2016,  and a 77% increase over $5.97 billion at September 30, 2015.

Total new loan originations during the 2016 third quarter amounted to $559.5 million, including warehouse lines of credit of $99.9 million and SBA loan originations of $80.7 million.  On a pro forma basis including the former Wilshire’s loan production of $57.9 million during July 2016 that is not included in the combined company’s originations, aggregate new loan originations would have amounted to $617.4 million, including SBA loan originations of $89.9 million.

Sales of SBA loans to the secondary market and gains derived from those sales are based substantially on the production of SBA 7(a) loans.  Production of SBA 7(a) loans totaled $50.2 million for the third quarter of 2016, compared with $56.7 million for the preceding 2016 second quarter and $46.1 million for the 2015 third quarter.  During the 2016 third quarter, the Company sold just $2.4 million of its SBA loans held for sale, compared with $39.6 million in the preceding second quarter and $42.4 million in the year-ago third quarter.  The decision to retain or sell SBA loans is made on a quarter-to-quarter basis, depending on prevailing pricing in the secondary market and the Company’s liquidity needs.

Aggregate pay offs and pay downs for the combined company in the 2016 third quarter amounted to $357.0 million, compared with $235.6 million for the preceding 2016 second quarter and $267.1 million for the year-ago third quarter.

Total deposits increased to $10.7 billion at September 30, 2016, up 61% over $6.64 billion at June 30, 2016 and up 78% over $6.03 billion at September 30, 2015.

Credit Quality

The provision for loan losses for the 2016 third quarter was $6.5 million, compared with $1.2 million for the preceding 2016 second quarter and $600,000 for the prior-year third 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.

The composition of the ALLL as of September 30, 2016, June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 is as follows:

(dollars in thousands)9/30/2016 6/30/2016 9/30/2015

Loans receivable$10,561,197 $6,584,237 $5,972,724
ALLL coverage ratio 0.76%  1.16%  1.19%

(1) Legacy loans include loans originated by the Bank’s predecessor bank, loans originated by Bank of Hope and loans that were acquired and that have been refinanced as new loans.
(2) Purchased loans were marked to fair value at acquisition date, and the allowance for loan losses reflect provisions for credit deterioration since the acquisition date.

Following are the components of criticized loan balances as of September 30, 2016, June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015:

The Company defines nonperforming loans to include delinquent loans past due 90 days or more 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 September 30, 2016 totaled $40.6 million, or 0.38% of loans receivable.   This compares with nonaccrual loans of $42.4 million, or 0.64% of loans receivable, at June 30, 2016 and $32.4 million, or 0.54% of loans receivable, at September 30, 2015.  Accruing restructured loans declined to $48.7 million at September 30, 2016, from $50.8 million at June 30, 2016 and $54.3 million at September 30, 2015.  Total nonperforming loans at September 30, 2016 amounted to $89.5 million, or 0.85% of loans receivable.  This compares with total nonperforming loans of $93.4 million, or 1.42% of loans receivable, at June 30, 2016 and $86.7 million, or 1.45% of loans receivable, at September 30, 2015.

Nonperforming assets, including nonperforming loans and other real estate owned, increased to $117.0 million at September 30, 2016 from $109.8 million at June 30, 2016 and $108.1 million at September 30, 2015.  As a percentage of total assets, nonperforming assets declined to 0.87% at September 30, 2016 from 1.32% at June 30, 2016 and 1.43% at September 30, 2015, reflecting the merger completion.

For the 2016 third quarter, the Company recorded net charge offs of $2.9 million, or 0.13% of average loans receivable on an annualized basis.  This compares with net charge offs of $1.6 million, or 0.10% of average loans receivable on an annualized basis for the 2016 second quarter and net recoveries of $392,000, or 0.03% of average loans receivable on an annualized basis, for the 2015 third quarter.

The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2016 was $80.0 million, or 0.76% of loans receivable (excluding loans held for sale), compared with $76.4 million, or 1.16%, at June 30, 2016 and $71.1 million, or 1.19%, at September 30, 2015.   The coverage ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans (excluding purchased credit-impaired loans) was 89.36% at September 30, 2016, versus 81.84% at June 30, 2016 and 82.00% at September 30, 2015.

Impaired loans (defined as loans for which it is probable that not all principal and interest payments due will be collected in accordance with the contractual terms) totaled $128.1 million at September 30, 2016, compared with $136.6 million at June 30, 2016 and $119.5 million at September 30, 2015.
