LOS ANGELES, April 23, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hanmi Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: HAFC, or “Hanmi”), the parent company of Hanmi Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income for the 2019 first quarter of $14.7 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared with $11.4 million, or $0.37 per diluted share for the 2018 fourth quarter and $14.9 million, or $0.46 per diluted share for the 2018 first quarter.
C. G. Kum, Chief Executive Officer, said, “Hanmi’s first quarter financial performance highlights the continued execution of our strategy to grow loans in a prudent manner, protect net interest margin and to improve the Bank’s cost structure. During the first quarter, which is typically the seasonally slowest quarter for loan production, new origination volume nearly offset normal loan run-off while net interest margin remained stable. Based on our current loan and lease pipeline, we remain confident in our ability to grow loans in the range of 5% to 7% for the full year. Deposit gathering activities in the quarter were also successful as total deposits expanded 6% on an annualized basis due to growth in time and noninterest-bearing demand deposits. In addition, we made progress in executing our previously announced branch consolidation initiative with the closure of four branches in the first quarter.”
Mr. Kum concluded, “I am very pleased with the Board’s decision to appoint Bonnie Lee as CEO upon my retirement next month. While serving as our Chief Operating Officer for the past six years, she has developed deep relationships with Hanmi’s customers and employees, while establishing herself as a respected leader in our industry. Given her institutional knowledge of the Bank, excellent track record of success and strong leadership abilities, I am confident this will be a smooth transition as Bonnie assumes her new role as CEO.”

Results of Operations
First quarter 2019 net interest income decreased 1.7% to $44.9 million from $45.6 million in the 2018 fourth quarter principally due to two fewer days quarter-over-quarter. Interest and fees on loans and leases for the first quarter increased 0.7%, or $0.4 million, from the preceding quarter due to an increase in the average yield and an increase in loan prepayment fees. In addition, borrowing costs decreased $0.3 million in the first quarter as deposits increased and borrowings declined. However, this was partially offset by an increase in interest expense on deposits of 10.9%, or $1.5 million, from the preceding quarter due to a 3.4% increase in average interest-bearing deposits.

Net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis was 3.52% for the first quarter of 2019 compared with 3.51% for the fourth quarter of 2018, as higher average yields on loans and leases receivable primarily due to market interest rates and competition were offset by higher costs of deposits. Net interest margin adjusted for loan prepayment penalties and the special FHLB dividend was 3.46% for the first quarter and prior quarter.
The average earning asset yield (tax equivalent) was 4.89% for the first quarter of 2019 compared with 4.76% for the fourth quarter of 2018. The 13 basis point increase was due to the increase in average yields for loans and leases receivable.
The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 1.98% for the first quarter of 2019 compared with 1.83% for the fourth quarter of 2018. The 15 basis point increase was primarily due to a 17 basis point increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits and a 3.4% increase in interest-bearing deposits.

For the first quarter of 2019, the loan and lease loss provision was $1.1 million compared with $3.0 million for the preceding quarter. Net charge-offs declined to $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2019 from $2.7 million from the fourth quarter of 2018. The allowance to loans and leases rose to 0.72% at the end of the first quarter from 0.70% at year-end.
First quarter noninterest income decreased 0.7% to $6.3 million from the fourth quarter, primarily due to a $0.3 million decrease in service charges on deposit accounts and a $0.3 million decrease in servicing income. The decline in servicing income reflects a higher level of prepayments in the serviced assets. This was partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in gain on sales of securities. This increase was due to the sale of $69.2 million of tax-exempt municipal bonds in the first quarter, with the resulting proceeds invested in U.S. Treasury bills and U.S. Government agency mortgage-backed securities. Gains on sales of SBA loans were $0.9 million for the first quarter, down from $1.0 million for the preceding quarter reflecting higher trade premiums offset by lower volume. The volume of SBA loans sold for the first quarter 2019 and fourth quarter 2018 were $15.5 million and $17.9 million, respectively.

Noninterest expense for the first quarter decreased 0.8% to $29.1 million from $29.3 million for the prior quarter primarily due to a $0.4 million decrease in other operating expenses and a $0.6 million decrease in advertising and promotion, partially offset by a $0.5 million increase in other real estate owned expense and a $0.4 million increase in occupancy and equipment of which approximately $0.3 million was related to one-time expenses associated with the consolidation of four branches during the quarter. Despite the decrease in noninterest expense, as a result of the decrease in revenues (noninterest income and net interest income), the efficiency ratio increased slightly to 56.8% in the first quarter from 56.4% in the prior quarter.

Hanmi recorded a provision for income taxes of $6.3 million for the first quarter of 2019, representing an effective tax rate of 30.0% compared with $8.2 million, representing an effective tax rate of 41.9% for the fourth quarter of 2018. First quarter income tax expense included a $0.4 million charge related to the settlement of the California 2008 and 2009 tax year audits with the Franchise Tax Board. Fourth quarter income tax expense included a net charge of $2.7 million, reflecting charges for a state deferred tax valuation allowance and the finalization of the re-measurement of deferred tax assets due to the change in the Federal corporate tax rate, offset by a benefit due to a lapse of the statute of limitations for certain unrecognized tax benefits.
Financial Position
Total assets were $5.57 billion at March 31, 2019, a 1.3% increase from $5.50 billion at December 31, 2018 from an increase in securities available for sale at fair value and the adoption of ASC 842, the new accounting standard for leases. On January 1, 2019, Hanmi adopted ASC 842 – Lease Accounting (ASU 2016-02) and recorded a Right-of-Use Asset (ROUA) on Leases and a Lease Liability of $40.9 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2019, the ROUA on Leases was $39.3 million and the Lease Liability was $39.5 million. These amounts were included in ‘Prepaid expenses and other assets’ and ‘Accrual expenses and other liabilities,’ respectively.
Loans and leases receivable, before the allowance for loan and lease losses, were $4.58 billion at March 31, 2019, down 0.5% from $4.60 billion at December 31, 2018. The decrease in loans and leases from the prior quarter reflects the seasonality of loan production as well as Hanmi’s strategic decision to moderate loan growth, protect net interest margin and reduce expenses given the increasingly challenging banking environment. Loans held for sale, representing the guaranteed portion of SBA loans, were $7.1 million at March 31, 2019 compared with $9.4 million at the end of 2018.
Loans and leases receivable, before the allowance for loan and lease losses, increased 3.7% from $4.41 billion at March 31, 2018, primarily due to production.

For the first quarter of 2019, commercial real estate loans as a percentage of loans and leases receivable decreased to 70.6% compared with 70.8% for the same period last year.
Bonnie Lee, President and Chief Operating Officer, said, “While loan production is seasonally slowest in the first quarter, our performance is also indicative of being extremely selective in originating new credits with respect to pricing and underwriting. Given the highly competitive environment, I am quite pleased with our stable net interest margin and continued strong credit quality. Overall, our production outlook remains positive and we continue to expect to generate 5% to 7% growth in attractively priced, high quality loans and leases for the full year.”
Commenting on her recent promotion, Ms. Lee concluded, “I am honored to serve on Hanmi’s Board of Directors and very grateful to the Board’s confidence in my abilities. C. G. Kum has been an excellent colleague, friend and mentor since I joined Hanmi in 2013. I look forward to serving as the Bank’s next CEO upon his retirement next month, and I wish him all the best in his well-deserved retirement.”

(1) Preliminary ratios for March 31, 2019
Hanmi declared a cash dividend of $0.24 per common share on its common stock in the 2019 first quarter. The dividend was paid on February 28, 2019, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on January 30, 2019.
Asset Quality
Loans and leases 30 to 89 days past due and still accruing were 0.20% of loans and leases at the end of the first quarter of 2019, compared with 0.23% at the end of the fourth quarter.
Nonperforming loans and leases were $40.0 million at the end of the first quarter of 2019, or 0.88% of loans and leases compared with $15.5 million at the end of 2018, or 0.34% of the portfolio. The increase in nonaccrual loans and leases reflects the addition of a $25.0 million commercial loan relationship, primarily secured by business assets and to a lesser extent commercial real estate, which recently experienced an interruption to their business. Hanmi has established a specific allowance of $3.0 million at March 31, 2019 for this relationship, is working closely with the borrower and expects to achieve a resolution as soon as possible.
Nonperforming assets were $40.7 million at the end of the first quarter of 2019, or 0.73% of assets, compared to $16.2 million, or 0.29% of assets, at the end of the prior quarter.
Gross charge-offs for the first quarter of 2019 were $1.1 million compared with $3.8 million for the preceding quarter. Recoveries of previously charged-off loans and leases for the first quarter of 2019 were $0.9 million compared with $1.0 million for the preceding quarter. As a result, there were net charge-offs of $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared to net charge-offs of $2.7 million for the preceding quarter. For the first quarter of 2019, net charge-offs were 0.02% of average loans and leases compared with net charge-offs of 0.24% for the preceding quarter.
The allowance for loan and lease losses was $32.9 million as of March 31, 2019, generating an allowance for loan and lease losses to loans and leases of 0.72% compared with 0.70% in the prior quarter.
