CEO Commentary

“Our team successfully navigated another quarter of economic uncertainty and higher interest rates to deliver solid third quarter results that reflect the strength of our franchise and the success of our relationship banking model,” said Bonnie Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hanmi Financial Corporation. “Our focus on our core customers where we obtain and have both a lending and deposit relationship continues to serve us well as evidenced by our strong level of demand deposit accounts, a stable deposit base and solid loan production.

“While we continue to take a disciplined and selective approach to lending, third quarter loan production increased, reflecting a contribution from nearly all of our business lines, as well as meaningful increases in new loan yields. Importantly, our asset quality remains excellent, which we attribute to the strength of our direct customer relationships and our proactive approach to credit administration.

“We are entering the fourth quarter with a healthy loan pipeline, stable core deposits, solid credit quality and well-managed expenses. We look forward to opening two new branches in the fourth quarter to capitalize on attractive growth opportunities. We will remain focused on executing on our strategic initiatives to drive disciplined growth and to create value for our shareholders over the long-term.”

Results of Operations
Net interest income for the third quarter decreased $0.5 million to $54.9 million from $55.4 million for the second quarter of 2023, down 1.0%. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by an increase in interest-earning asset yields and one additional day in the quarter. The cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 28 basis points to 3.53% for the third quarter of 2023 from 3.25% for the second quarter of 2023. The increase was due to higher market interest rates and a shift in the composition of the portfolio to higher-rate deposits. Average interest-bearing deposits were $4.13 billion for the third quarter, compared with $3.97 billion for the second quarter. Average loans were $5.92 billion for the third quarter, compared with $5.94 billion for the second quarter of 2023. The yield on average loans for the third quarter increased nine basis points to 5.73% from 5.64% for the second quarter. Third quarter loan prepayment fees were less than $0.1 million, compared with $0.2 million for the second quarter. Net interest margin (taxable-equivalent) for the third quarter was 3.03% compared with 3.11% for the second quarter.

Hanmi recorded a provision for income taxes of $7.9 million for the third quarter, compared with $8.5 million for the second quarter representing an effective tax rate of 29.6% compared with 29.3% for the second quarter.

Financial Position
Total assets at September 30, 2023 increased by $5.2 million, to $7.35 billion from $7.34 billion at June 30, 2023. Loans receivable increased by $59.3 million and prepaid expenses and other assets increased by $16.6 million, reflecting the recognition of a $3.5 million right-of-use asset from the sale-leaseback of a branch property, the recognition of additional $3.4 million right-of-use assets related to new and renewed branch premises, a $4.6 million increase in current taxes receivable, and a $5.0 million low-income housing tax credit investment. These increases were partially offset by a $55.9 million decrease in cash and due from banks, and a $19.4 million decrease in securities available for sale.

Loans receivable, before the allowance for credit losses, were $6.02 billion at quarter-end, up 0.9% from June 30, 2023. Loans held for sale, representing the guaranteed portion of SBA 7(a) loans, were $11.7 million at the end of the third quarter, compared with $7.3 million at the end of the prior quarter.

Deposits were $6.26 billion at the end of the third quarter, a decline of $55.7 million, or 0.9%, from $6.32 billion at the end of the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily due to a $44.9 million decline in noninterest-bearing demand deposits, a $8.9 million decline in interest-bearing demand deposits and a $4.7 million decline in money market and savings deposits. These declines were offset by an increase in time deposits. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits represented 34.5% of total deposits at quarter-end and the loan-to-deposit ratio was 96.2%.

Stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2023 was $663.4 million, compared with $668.6 million at June 30, 2023.

Asset Quality
Loans 30 to 89 days past due and still accruing were 0.16% of loans at the end of the third quarter, compared with 0.23% at the end of the prior quarter.

Special mention loans were $76.5 million at the end of the third quarter, compared with $44.6 million at June 30, 2023. The $31.9 million increase in special mention loans included new downgrades to special mention of $35.8 million offset by upgrades to pass of $2.1 million, downgrades from special mention of $0.8 million, and payoffs of $1.0 million. Included in new downgrades was a $28.3 million completed construction loan for a memory-care and assisted living facility that had not yet achieved stabilization.

Classified loans were $33.1 million at September 30, 2023, down from $38.8 million at the end of the prior quarter. The $5.7 million decrease was primarily driven by charge-offs of $8.5 million, amortization, paydowns and payoffs of $2.4 million and other dispositions of $1.4 million, offset by new downgrades to classified of $6.6 million.

Nonperforming loans were $15.8 million at September 30, 2023, down from $22.2 million at the end of the prior quarter. The decline was primarily due to $8.3 million of charge-offs, including $6.1 million of charge-offs on $11.0 million of previously identified classified loans. As a percentage of the loan portfolio, nonperforming loans were 0.26% at quarter-end, compared with 0.37% at the end of the second quarter.

Nonperforming assets were $15.9 million at the end of the third quarter, down from $22.3 million at the end of the second quarter. As a percentage of total assets, nonperforming assets were 0.22% at quarter-end, compared with 0.30% at June 30, 2023.

Gross charge-offs for the third quarter were $9.4 million, compared with $2.7 million for the second quarter. Third quarter gross charge-offs primarily consisted of $6.1 million of commercial and industrial loans, $2.8 million of equipment financing agreements, $0.2 million of SBA loans secured by business assets and $0.2 million of SBA loans secured by real estate. The $6.1 million of commercial and industrial loan charge-offs relate to the previously described classified loans. Recoveries of previously charged-off loans for the third quarter were $0.5 million, compared with $1.0 million for the prior quarter. Recoveries during the third quarter consisted of $0.3 million of equipment financing agreements, $0.1 million in commercial and industrial loans and $0.1 million of SBA loans secured by real estate and business assets.

As a result, there were net charge-offs of $8.9 million for the third quarter, compared with net charge-offs of $1.7 million for the prior quarter. For the third quarter, net charge-offs represented 0.60% of average loans on an annualized basis, compared with net charge-offs of 0.12% of average loans for the second quarter on an annualized basis.

The allowance for credit losses was $67.3 million at September 30, 2023, down from $71.0 million at June 30, 2023. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to loans was 1.12% at the end of the third quarter, down from 1.19% at the end of the second quarter. Specific allowances for loans decreased $4.5 million, principally due to charge-offs, while the allowance for quantitative and qualitative considerations increased $0.8 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets Ratio

Tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio is supplemental financial information determined by a method other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure in the analysis of Hanmi’s capital strength. Tangible common equity represents stockholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets. Banking and financial institution regulators also exclude goodwill and other intangible assets from stockholders’ equity when assessing the capital adequacy of a financial institution. Management believes the presentation of this financial measure excluding the impact of these items provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the capital strength of Hanmi. This financial measure is not a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures.

The following table reconciles this non-GAAP financial measure to the GAAP financial measure for the periods indicated:
