LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hope Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: HOPE), the holding company of Bank of Hope (the “Bank”), today reported unaudited financial results for its fourth quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2024. For the three months ended December 31, 2024, net income totaled $24.3 million, or $0.20 per diluted common share. This compares with net income of $24.2 million, or $0.20 per diluted common share, in the third quarter of 2024. For the full year ended December 31, 2024, net income totaled $99.6 million, or $0.82 per diluted common share. Excluding notable items(1), net income for the 2024 full year was $103.4 million, or $0.85 per diluted common share. “For the 2024 fourth quarter, our pre-provision net revenue(2) increased 14% to $40.4 million, up from $35.4 million in the preceding third quarter. Quarter-over-quarter, our total revenue grew, led by strong growth in noninterest income, and our noninterest expense decreased, enhancing our efficiency,” said Kevin S. Kim, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our asset quality improved with an 11% decrease in criticized loans and nonperforming assets down 13% since September 30, 2024. “In 2024, we focused on strengthening our deposit base, reducing brokered deposits to 7% of total deposits as of December 31, 2024, down from 10% as of December 31, 2023. In the second half of 2024, loan growth inflected and loans receivable grew 1% on an annualized basis since June 30, 2024. With ample liquidity and a tangible common equity ratio(3) over 10% as of December 31, 2024, we are well positioned to support growth in the new year. “We are in the final stages of preparing for the integration of Territorial Savings Bank as a division of Bank of Hope, and are looking forward to building upon Territorial’s legacy. The addition of Territorial’s low-cost core deposits and residential mortgage loans with pristine asset quality will be meaningful contributors to the combined company in 2025. We anticipate the pending merger with Territorial Bancorp Inc. (NASDAQ: TBNK), the stock holding company of Territorial Savings Bank, will be completed during the first quarter of 2025, subject to regulatory approvals. “We are heartbroken to see the unprecedented destruction that the wildfires have caused in the Greater Los Angeles area. As one of the largest independent banks headquartered in this great city, we are committed to taking a leadership role in addressing the immediate and rebuilding needs of those impacted by the fires. Our recent cash donation to the United Way of Greater Los Angeles Wildfire Response Fund underscores our unwavering commitment to the community. I am confident that the impacted areas will be rebuilt stronger and better,” concluded Kim. _____________________________________ (1) Net income, excluding merger-related expenses, restructuring-related costs and gains, which included net gains on the sale of branches in Virginia, and the FDIC special assessment expense (also referred to collectively as the “notable items”), is a non-GAAP financial measure.

Operating Results for the 2024 Fourth Quarter Revenue. 2024 fourth quarter revenue of $118.0 million grew $1.4 million, or 1%, from $116.6 million for the immediately preceding third quarter. Quarter-over-quarter growth in noninterest income more than offset the decrease in net interest income before provision for credit losses. Pre-provision net revenue (“PPNR”), which is revenue less noninterest expense, was $40.4 million in the 2024 fourth quarter, up $5.0 million, or 14%, from $35.4 million for the third quarter of 2024. Excluding notable items(4), fourth quarter 2024 PPNR of $40.0 million grew 9% quarter-over-quarter. Net interest income and net interest margin. Net interest income before provision for credit losses for the 2024 fourth quarter totaled $102.1 million, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 3%, from $104.8 million in the immediately preceding third quarter. 2024 fourth quarter interest income of $226.6 million decreased 4% from $235.1 million in the immediately preceding third quarter. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in interest income reflected lower loan yields because of Federal Funds target rate cuts, $1.7 million of reversed interest income due to loans moving to nonaccrual status, as well as lower yields on and a lower volume of average interest earning cash and deposits at other banks. As of December 31, 2024, the upper Federal Funds target rate was 4.50%, down from a peak of 5.50% as of September 17, 2024. The decrease in interest income was partially offset by lower interest expense, which totaled $124.5 million in the 2024 fourth quarter, a decrease of 4% from $130.3 million in the immediately preceding third quarter. The decrease in interest expense was primarily driven by a 21 basis point quarter-over-quarter reduction in the average cost of interest bearing deposits to 4.38%, down from 4.59% in the third quarter of 2024, reflecting the impact of the Federal Funds rate cuts. The average cost of total deposits for the 2024 fourth quarter decreased 12 basis points to 3.32%, down from 3.44% for the third quarter of 2024. Net interest margin for the 2024 fourth quarter was 2.50%, down five basis points from 2.55% in the 2024 third quarter. Excluding the impact of the aforementioned reversed interest income, the net interest margin for the 2024 fourth quarter would have been 2.54%. Noninterest income. Noninterest income for the 2024 fourth quarter increased to $15.9 million, up $4.0 million, or 34%, from $11.8 million in the immediately preceding third quarter. The Company recorded net gains on the sale of SBA loans of $3.1 million in the 2024 fourth quarter, compared with $2.7 million in the immediately preceding third quarter. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company sold $48.4 million of SBA loans, compared with $41.4 million in the third quarter of 2024. Other noninterest income in the 2024 fourth quarter included swap fee income of $1.4 million, up from only $21,000 in the 2024 third quarter, reflecting a higher level of customer activity. During the 2024 fourth quarter, the Company recognized a net gain of $1.0 million related to the sale of its two branches in Virginia, which closed on October 1, 2024. Noninterest expense. The Company continues to closely manage expenses. Noninterest expense for the 2024 fourth quarter was $77.6 million, down $3.7 million, or 5%, from $81.3 million in the immediately preceding third quarter. Excluding notable items(5), noninterest expense for the 2024 fourth quarter was $77.0 million, down 4% from $79.8 million for the 2024 third quarter. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in noninterest expense was primarily driven by lower earned interest credit expense, which decreased $2.3 million, or 33%, from the immediately preceding third quarter due to the Federal Funds target rate cuts and a lower average balance of related deposits, as well as lower salaries and employee benefits expense, which decreased $2.1 million, or 5%, quarter-over-quarter to $42.0 million. Tax rate. The effective tax rate for the 2024 fourth quarter was 20.0%, compared with 24.7% in the immediately preceding third quarter. The quarter-over-quarter change in the effective tax rate reflected the impact of a solar tax credit investment that the Company made during the fourth quarter of 2024. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the effective tax rate was 25.1%, compared with 24.9% for the 2023 full year. _____________________________________ (4) PPNR, excluding notable items, is a non-GAAP financial measure. Quantitative reconciliations of the most directly comparable GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures are provided in the accompanying financial information on Table Pages 10 to 12. Collectively, notable items comprise merger-related expenses, restructuring-related costs and gains, which also includes a net gain on the sale of branches in Virginia, and the FDIC special assessment expense.

Balance Sheet Summary Cash and investment securities. At December 31, 2024, cash and due from banks totaled $458.2 million, compared with $680.9 million at September 30, 2024, and $1.93 billion at December 31, 2023. The year-over-year change primarily reflected the payoff of the Company’s Bank Term Funding Program (“BTFP”) borrowings in March and April of 2024. Investment securities totaled $2.08 billion at December 31, 2024, $2.18 billion at September 30, 2024, and $2.41 billion at December 31, 2023. Loans. At December 31, 2024, loans receivable, which excludes loans held for sale, were stable quarter-over-quarter at $13.62 billion. Compared with September 30, 2024, commercial and industrial loans increased 2% quarter-over-quarter and residential mortgage loans increased 3%, partially offset by a 1% decrease in commercial real estate loans. 2024 fourth quarter average gross loans increased 0.4% quarter-over-quarter, or 2% on an annualized basis, from the 2024 third quarter. The following table sets forth the loan portfolio composition at December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023: (dollars in thousands) (unaudited) 12/31/2024 9/30/2024 12/31/2023 Balance Percentage Balance Percentage Balance Percentage Commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans $ 8,527,008 62.6 % $ 8,630,757 63.3 % $ 8,797,884 63.6 % Commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans 3,967,596 29.1 % 3,901,368 28.6 % 4,135,044 29.8 % Residential mortgage and other loans 1,123,668 8.2 % 1,085,863 7.9 % 920,691 6.6 % Loans receivable 13,618,272 99.9 % 13,617,988 99.8 % 13,853,619 100.0 % Loans held for sale 14,491 0.1 % 25,714 0.2 % 3,408 — % Gross loans $ 13,632,763 100.0 % $ 13,643,702 100.0 % $ 13,857,027 100.0 % Deposits. Total deposits of $14.33 billion at December 31, 2024, decreased $402.0 million, or 3%, from $14.73 billion at September 30, 2024. This decrease included $128.1 million of deposits sold in connection with the Company’s sale of its Virginia branches. In addition, the quarter-over-quarter decrease in deposits reflected typical fourth quarter outflows of noninterest bearing commercial deposits in the residential mortgage industry, and intentional run-off of higher-cost deposits. The following table sets forth the deposit composition at December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023: (dollars in thousands) (unaudited) 12/31/2024 9/30/2024 12/31/2023 Balance Percentage Balance Percentage Balance Percentage Noninterest bearing demand deposits $ 3,377,950 23.6 % $ 3,722,985 25.3 % $ 3,914,967 26.5 % Money market, interest bearing demand, and savings deposits 5,175,735 36.1 % 5,013,305 34.0 % 4,872,029 33.0 % Time deposits 5,773,804 40.3 % 5,993,208 40.7 % 5,966,757 40.5 % Total deposits $ 14,327,489 100.0 % $ 14,729,498 100.0 % $ 14,753,753 100.0 % Gross loan-to-deposit ratio 95.2 % 92.6 % 93.9 % Borrowings.

Criticized loans. Criticized loans decreased $55.8 million, or 11%, to $450.0 million at December 31, 2024, down from $505.7 million at September 30, 2024. The criticized loans to total loans ratio improved to 3.30% at December 31, 2024, down from 3.71% at September 30, 2024. The decrease reflected payoffs, workouts and note sales of problem loans during the quarter. Net charge offs and provision for credit losses. The Company recorded net charge offs of $12.8 million in the 2024 fourth quarter, equivalent to 0.38%, annualized, of average loans. This compares with net charge offs of $5.7 million, or 0.17%, annualized, of average loans in the immediately preceding third quarter. The quarter-over-quarter change in net charge offs reflected the problem loan resolution activity in the fourth quarter. The full-year 2024 net charge off ratio was 0.19%, compared with 0.22% for the 2023 full year. The following table sets forth net charge offs and annualized net charge off ratios for the three months ended December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, and the full years ended December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023: For the Three Months Ended For the Twelve Months Ended (dollars in thousands) (unaudited) 12/31/2024 9/30/2024 12/31/2023 12/31/2024 12/31/2023 Net charge offs $ 12,843 $ 5,749 $ 1,815 $ 26,567 $ 32,358 Annualized net charge offs/average loans 0.38 % 0.17 % 0.05 % 0.19 % 0.22 % For the 2024 fourth quarter, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $10.0 million. This compares with a provision for credit losses of $3.3 million in the immediately preceding third quarter. The quarter-over-quarter change in the provision for credit losses primarily reflected net charge offs in the fourth quarter of 2024. For the full year 2024, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $17.3 million, compared with a provision for credit losses of $31.6 million for the full year 2023. Allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses totaled $150.5 million at December 31, 2024, compared with $153.3 million at September 30, 2024. The allowance coverage ratio was 1.11% of loans receivable at December 31, 2024, compared with 1.13% at September 30, 2024. The change in the allowance coverage ratio was due to a decrease in quantitative and individually evaluated loan reserves, which reflected, in part, the quarter-over-quarter reduction in criticized loans, partially offset by an increase in qualitative reserves. The following table sets forth the allowance for credit losses and the coverage ratios at December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023: (dollars in thousands) (unaudited) 12/31/2024 9/30/2024 12/31/2023 Allowance for credit losses $ 150,527 $ 153,270 $ 158,694 Allowance for credit losses/loans receivable 1.11 % 1.13 % 1.15 % Capital At December 31, 2024, the Company and the Bank continued to exceed all regulatory capital requirements generally required to meet the definition of a “well-capitalized” financial institution.
