Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

Note 1 — Organization and Basis of Presentation

Hanmi Financial Corporation (“Hanmi Financial,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is a bank holding company whose primary subsidiary is Hanmi Bank (the “Bank”). Our primary operations are related to traditional banking activities, including the acceptance of deposits and the lending and investing of money through the operation of the Bank.

In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Hanmi Financial and its subsidiaries reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods ended September 30, 2020, but are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be reported for the entire year or any other interim period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. The unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim information should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K”).

The preparation of interim unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the unaudited financial statements and disclosures provided, and actual results could differ.

Descriptions of our significant accounting policies are included in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

FASB ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology.  The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities.  It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with Topic 842 on leases.  In addition, ASU 2016-13 made changes to the accounting for available-for sale debt securities.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the prospective transition approach for debt securities for which the Company would have recognized other-than-temporary impairment prior to January 1, 2020. However, the Company had no such securities and as a result, there was no effect on the balance sheet related to securities from the adoption of ASU 2016-13. As a result, the amortized cost basis remained the same before and after the effective date of ASU 2016-13.

The adoption of ASU 2016-13 resulted in a $17.4 million increase to the beginning balance of the allowance for credit losses, a $0.3 million decrease to the beginning balance of the allowance for off-balance sheet items, and an after-tax charge of $12.2 million to the beginning balance of retained earnings.

According to ASU 2016-13, the Bank was required to measure its expected credit losses of financial assets on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristic(s) exist. The Bank segmented the loans primarily by loan types, considering that the same type of loans share considerable similar risk characteristics, including the collateral type, loan purpose, contract term, amortization and payment structure.

The Company measured expected credit losses of financial assets on a collective (pool) basis, when the financial assets share similar risk characteristics. Depending on the nature of the pool of financial assets with similar risk characteristics, the Company used a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method, Probability of Default / Loss Given Default method (“PD/LGD”), or a Weighted Average Remaining Maturity (“WARM”) method to estimate expected credit losses.

The Company’s methodologies for estimating the allowance for credit losses considered available relevant information about the collectability of cash flows, including information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The methodologies applied historical loss information, adjusted for asset-specific characteristics, economic conditions at the measurement date, and forecasts about future economic conditions expected to exist through the contractual lives of the financial assets that were reasonable and supportable, to the identified pools of financial assets with similar risk characteristics for which the historical loss experience was observed. The Company’s methodologies revert to historical loss information on a straight-line basis over twelve quarters when it can no longer develop reasonable and supportable forecasts.

The Company has disaggregated the portfolios of financial assets into the following material segments of loans or leases with similar risk characteristics using the following methodologies:

At January 1, 2020, the Company used the DCF method to estimate allowances for credit losses for the commercial property, construction, and residential real estate loan portfolios, the commercial and industrial loan portfolio, and the consumer loan portfolio. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, management determined that, due to model limitations, the regression model that supports the DCF calculation for the commercial property, construction, and residential real estate portfolios does not take into account the high degree of uncertainty of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related government assistance programs on these portfolios.  As a result, subsequent to March 31, 2020, the Company determined that the Probability of PD/LGD method is more appropriate for these portfolios. This change did not result in a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. For all loan pools utilizing the DCF method, the Company utilized and forecasted the national unemployment rate as the primary loss driver. The Company also utilized and forecasted either the annualized average return rate from the National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries (“NCREIF”) Property Index for commercial real estate loans or the one-year percentage change in the S&P/Case-Shiller U.S National Home Price Index (“NHPI”) for residential real estate loans as a second loss driver depending on the nature of the underlying loan pool and how well that loss driver correlates to expected future losses.

For all DCF models at January 1, 2020, the Company determined that four-quarters represented a reasonable and supportable forecast period and reverted to a historical loss rate over twelve quarters on a straight-line basis. The Company leveraged quarterly economic projections from the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) and the Federal Reserve Economic Database (“FRED”) to inform its loss driver forecasts over the four-quarter forecast period. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company changed from using the FRED unemployment forecast to the Moody’s unemployment forecast, as Moody’s updates the unemployment forecast on a more frequent and timely basis, and thus provides a more appropriate basis for estimating future cash flows. For each of these loan segments, the Company applied an expected loss ratio based on the discounted cash flows adjusted as appropriate for qualitative factors. Qualitative loss factors are based on the Company's judgment of company, market, industry or business specific data, changes in the underlying loan composition of specific portfolios, trends relating to credit quality, delinquency, nonperforming and adversely rated loans, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions.

The Company used the PD/LGD method for the SBA portfolio to accommodate the unique nature of these loans. Although the PD/LGD methodology is an element of the DCF model, the stand-alone PD/LGD methodology minimizes complications related to the characteristics of SBA loans. A uniqueness of the SBA portfolio is that the U.S. Small Business Administration policy requires servicers to undertake all reasonable collection efforts before charging-off the loan.  As a result, the recovery rate for SBA loans tend to be more volatile and not intuitively correlated to economic factors.

The Company used the WARM method to estimate expected credit losses for equipment financing agreements or the equipment lease receivables portfolio. The Company applied an expected loss ratio based on internal historical losses adjusted as appropriate for qualitative factors. The Company's evaluation of market, industry or business specific data, changes in the underlying portfolio composition, trends relating to credit quality, delinquency, nonperforming and adversely rated leases, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions informed the estimate of qualitative factors.

As allowed by ASU 2016-13, the Company elected to maintain pools of loans accounted for under ASC 310-30.  In accordance with the standard, management did not reassess whether modifications to individual acquired financial assets accounted for in pools were troubled debt restructurings as of the date of adoption.

The Company estimated the allowance for credit losses on loans based on the underlying assets’ amortized cost basis, which was the amount at which the financing receivable is originated or acquired, adjusted for applicable accretion or amortization of premium, discount, and net deferred fees or costs, collection of cash, and charge-offs. In the event that collection of principal becomes uncertain, the Company has policies in place to reverse accrued interest in a timely manner. Therefore, the Company has a policy election to exclude accrued interest from the measurement of allowance for credit losses.

Expected credit losses are reflected in the allowance for credit losses through a charge to credit loss expense. When the Company deems all or a portion of a financial asset to be uncollectible, the appropriate amount is written off and the allowance for credit losses is reduced by the same amount. The Company applies judgment to determine when a financial asset is deemed uncollectible; however, generally speaking, an asset will be considered uncollectible no later than when all efforts at collection have been exhausted. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance for credit losses when received.

The following table illustrates the allowance for credit losses and the related impact under ASU 2016-13 to the Company as of January 1, 2020.

The Company used the methodologies described above in the implementation of CECL at January 1, 2020 and through March 31, 2020. Subsequent to March 31, 2020, the Company adjusted the methodologies for the commercial property, construction, and residential real estate portfolios to better reflect the forecast of potential losses arising from the more uncertain economic environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  See Note 3 - Loans for a more detailed description of the changes in the allowance for credit losses methodologies.

FASB ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350):  Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted this standard, which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill impairment by eliminating the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill (i.e., the current Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test) to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Under this ASU, the impairment test is simply the comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount (the current Step 1), with the impairment charge being the deficit in fair value but not exceeding the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The simplified one-step impairment test applies to all reporting units (including those with zero or negative carrying amounts). An entity was to apply the amendments in this ASU on a prospective basis and was required to disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle upon transition. The Company’s goodwill arose from the purchase of an equipment leasing portfolio in 2016. The equipment leasing portfolio has grown since acquisition, and the Company has concluded no impairment has occurred.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in restrictions on travel and gatherings and restricted business activities. As a result, the operations and business results of the Company could be materially adversely affected. The extent to which the COVID-19 crisis may impact business activity or investment results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions required to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others. This uncertainty may impact the accuracy of our significant estimates, which includes the allowance for credit losses, the allowance for credit losses related to off-balance sheet items, and the valuation of intangible assets including deferred tax assets, goodwill, and servicing assets.

The unrealized losses in the U.S. government agency and sponsored agency obligations, were caused by fluctuations in interest rates. These securities are not deemed to have credit risk due to their long history with no credit losses, and the explicit guarantee of the U.S. government of timely payment of principal and interest to investors. The Company does not intend to sell the securities and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell them before recovery of their amortized cost.

Realized gains and losses on sales of securities and proceeds from sales of securities were as follows for the periods indicated:

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES” Act) was signed into law on March 27, 2020. Among other benefits, the CARES Act allows financial institutions to assist customers in dealing with financial hardship by (a) providing federal funding so that financial institutions can originate SBA loans to borrowers at a low interest rate under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans with eventual debt forgiveness should the borrower continue to meet certain criteria; and (b) allowing financial institutions to temporarily modify loan terms by deferring loan payments, loan fees, etc. on a short-term basis without considering them Troubled Debt Restructures.

At September 30, 2020, there were $302.9 million of PPP loans included in commercial and industrial loans in the table above.  In addition, at September 30, 2020, there were $578.5 million of loans modified under Section 4013 of the CARES Act.

Accrued interest on loans was $20.2 million and $10.0 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. At September 30, 2020, accrued interest receivable related to the $578.5 million in modified loans under the CARES Act was $8.8 million.

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, loans of $2.27 billion and $1.35 billion, respectively, were pledged to secure advances from the FHLB.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company’s estimate of the allowance for credit losses at September 30, 2020 reflects losses expected over the remaining contractual life of the assets. The contractual term does not consider extensions, renewals or modifications unless the Company has identified an expected troubled debt restructuring.

At September 30, 2020, the Company used the DCF method to estimate allowances for credit losses for the commercial and industrial loan portfolio and the consumer loan portfolio. For all loan pools utilizing the DCF method, the Company utilizes and forecasts the national unemployment rate as the primary loss driver.  In addition, the Company determined that four quarters represented a reasonable and supportable forecast period and reverted to a historical loss rate over twelve quarters on a straight-line basis. As of and for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company leveraged the economic projections from Moody’s Analytics to inform its loss driver forecasts over the four-quarter forecast period whereas it had previously relied on FRED economic data. For each of these loan segments, the Company applied an annualized historical PD/LGD using all available historical periods.  The reason for the change from relying on the FRED economic data to Moody’s data was because Moody’s data is updated more frequently and timely than FOMC or FRED, and thus provides a better forecast for PD/LGD models. Since reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions are imbedded directly into the DCF model, qualitative adjustments are reduced but considered. Qualitative adjustments were based on the Company's judgment of company, market, industry or business specific data, as well as changes in the underlying loan composition of specific portfolios.

At September 30, 2020, the Company used the PD/LGD method for the commercial property, construction and residential property portfolios. The Company used historical periods that included an economic downturn to derive historical losses for better alignment in the estimation of expected losses under the PD/LGD method. The Company leveraged Frye-Jacobs modeled LGD rates for loan segments with no historical losses.  In addition, for those loans granted a loan modification due to COVID-19, the Company used historical periods under PD/LGD as of March 31, 2020 and for the subsequent six months ended September 30, 2020, to reflect the moratorium on TDRs under Section 4013 of the CARES Act. The PD/LGD method incorporates a forecast into loss estimates using a qualitative adjustment. Qualitative loss factors were based on the Company's judgment of company, market, industry or business specific data, changes in the underlying loan composition of specific portfolios, trends relating to credit quality, delinquency, nonperforming and adversely rated loans, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions.

The Company used the WARM method to estimate expected credit losses for equipment financing agreements or the equipment lease receivables portfolio. The Company applied an expected loss ratio based on internal historical losses adjusted as appropriate for qualitative factors. The Company's evaluation of market, industry or business specific data, changes in the underlying portfolio composition, trends relating to credit quality, delinquency, nonperforming and adversely rated leases, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions inform the estimate of qualitative factors.

Management believes the allowance for credit losses is appropriate to provide for estimated losses inherent in the loans receivable portfolio. However, the allowance is an estimate that is inherently uncertain and depends on the outcome of future events. Management’s methodologies for determining such estimates consists of measuring expected credit losses of financial assets on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristic(s) exist. The Company segments the loans primarily by loan types, considering that the same type of loans share considerable similar risk characteristics, including the collateral type, loan purpose, contract term, amortization and payment structure. Our lending is concentrated generally in real estate loans, commercial loans and leases and SBA loans to small and middle market businesses primarily in California, Texas, Illinois and New York. Further, our regulators, in reviewing our loans receivable portfolio may require us to increase our allowance for credit losses.

The following table details the information on the allowance for credit losses by portfolio segment as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

Loan Quality Indicators

As part of the on-going monitoring of the quality of our loans portfolio, we utilize an internal loan grading system to identify credit risk and assign an appropriate grade (from 0 to 8) for each loan in our portfolio. A third-party loan review is performed at least on an annual basis. Additional adjustments are made when determined to be necessary. The loan grade definitions are as follows:

Pass and Pass-Watch: Pass and Pass-Watch loans, grades (0-4), are in compliance with the Bank’s credit policy and regulatory requirements, and do not exhibit any potential or defined weaknesses as defined under “Special Mention,” “Substandard” or “Doubtful.” This category is the strongest level of the Bank’s loan grading system. It consists of all performing loans with no identified credit weaknesses. It includes cash and stock/security secured loans or other investment grade loans.

Special Mention: A Special Mention loan, grade (5), has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If not corrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment of the debt and result in a Substandard classification. Loans that have significant actual, not potential, weaknesses are considered more severely classified.

Substandard: A Substandard loan, grade (6), has a well-defined weakness that jeopardizes the liquidation of the debt. A loan graded Substandard is not protected by the sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower, or of the value and type of collateral pledged. With a Substandard loan, there is a distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the weaknesses or deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful: A Doubtful loan, grade (7), is one that has critical weaknesses that would make the collection or liquidation of the full amount due improbable. However, there may be pending events which may work to strengthen the loan, and therefore the amount or timing of a possible loss cannot be determined at the current time.

Loss: A loan classified as Loss, grade (8), is considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as active bank assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this asset even though partial recovery may be possible in the future. Loans classified as Loss will be charged off in a timely manner.

Under regulatory guidance, loans graded special mention or worse are considered criticized loans, and loans graded substandard or worse are considered classified loans.

The tables below provide a comparison as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 of the pass/pass-watch, special mention and classified loans, disaggregated by loan segment:

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no loans 90 days or more past due and accruing interest.

At September 30, 2020, all $578.5 million of modified loans under the CARES Act were current.

Individually Evaluated Loans

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13, impaired loans were measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan was collateral dependent, less estimated costs to sell. If the estimated value of the impaired loan was less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Company charged-off the deficiency against the allowance for loan losses or we established a specific allowance in the allowance for loan losses. Additionally, we excluded from the quarterly migration analysis impaired loans when determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses required for the period.

Under ASU 2016-13, the Company reviews all loans on an individual basis when they do not share similar risk characteristics with loan pools.

The following tables provide information on individually evaluated loans receivable as of September 30, 2020 and impaired loans receivable as of December 31, 2019 disaggregated by loan class, as of the dates indicated:

Troubled Debt Restructurings

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, total TDRs were $25.9 million and $56.3 million, respectively. A debt restructuring is considered a TDR if we grant a concession that we would not have otherwise been considered, to the borrower for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties. In addition, the concession granted must result in a reduction in the borrower’s payment for a period of three months or more in order to be classified as a TDR.

Total 3 $ 4,005 $ 3,253 8 $ 54,071 $ 54,891

All TDRs are individually analyzed using one of three criteria: (1) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (2) the loan’s observable market price; or (3) the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, TDRs were subjected to specific impairment analysis. We determined impairment allowances of $25,000 and $22.7 million, respectively, related to these loans and such allowances were included in the allowance for credit losses.

A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms. No loans defaulted during the three-months ended September 30, 2020 following modification.  One loan for $398,000 defaulted during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 following modification. During the year ended December 31, 2019, one loan for $132,000 defaulted within the twelve-month period following modification.

Note 4 — Servicing Assets

2020 2019
(in thousands)
Servicing assets:

Balance at end of period $ 6,348 $ 7,436

The changes in servicing assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

Nine Months Ended September 30,
2020 2019
(in thousands)
Servicing assets:
Balance at beginning of period $ 6,956 $ 8,520
Addition related to sale of SBA loans 1,040 1,177
Amortization (1,648 ) (2,261 )
Balance at end of period $ 6,348 $ 7,436

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we serviced loans sold to unaffiliated parties in the amounts of $427.5 million and $433.6 million, respectively. These represented loans that have been sold for which the Bank continues to provide servicing. These loans are maintained off-balance sheet and are not included in the loans receivable balance. All of the loans serviced were SBA loans.

The Company recorded servicing fee income of $1.1 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company recorded servicing fee income of $3.4 million and $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Servicing fee income, net of the amortization of servicing assets, is included in other operating income in the consolidated statements of income. Amortization expense was $524,000 and $648,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $1.6 million and $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Note 5 — Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax expense was $6.4 million and $4.3 million representing an effective income tax rate of 28.3 percent and 25.9 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company’s income tax expense was $11.9 million and $11.8 million representing an effective income tax rate of 30.0 percent and 28.5 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Management concluded that as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, a valuation allowance of $4.9 million was appropriate against certain state net operating loss carry forwards and certain tax credits. For all other deferred tax assets, management believes it was more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will be realized principally through future taxable income and reversal of existing taxable temporary differences. The net deferred tax asset was $42.4 million and $36.8 million and the net current tax asset was $1.2 million and $0 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The Company is subject to examination by federal and state tax authorities for certain years ended December 31, 2015 through 2019. Management does not anticipate any material changes in our consolidated financial statements which may arise as a result of these audits or examinations. During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, there was no material change to the Company’s uncertain tax positions. The Company does not expect its unrecognized tax positions to change significantly over the next twelve months.

The CARES Act includes provisions for tax payment relief, significant business incentives, and certain corrections to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or the Tax Act. The tax relief measures for entities includes a five-year net operating loss carry back, increases in interest expense deduction limits, accelerates alternative minimum tax credit refunds, provides payroll tax relief, and provides a technical correction to allow accelerated deductions for qualified improvement property. ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, requires the effect of changes in tax law be recognized in the period in which new legislation is enacted. The enactment of the CARES Act was not material to the Company’s income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and is not expected to have a material impact on its financial statements for the full year ending December 31, 2020.

Note 9 — Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated on both a basic and a diluted basis. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted from the issuance of common stock that then shared in earnings, excluding common shares in treasury. For diluted EPS, weighted-average number of common shares includes the impact of unvested restricted stock under the treasury method.

Unvested restricted stock containing rights to non-forfeitable dividends are considered participating securities prior to vesting and have been included in the earnings allocation in computing basic and diluted EPS under the two-class method.

The following table is a reconciliation of the components used to derive basic and diluted EPS for the periods indicated:

Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,

Note 10 — Regulatory Matters

Federal bank regulatory agencies require bank holding companies and banks to maintain a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0 percent and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.0 percent. In addition to the risk-based guidelines, federal bank regulatory agencies require bank holding companies and banks to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to average assets, referred to as the leverage ratio, of 4.0 percent.

In order for banks to be considered “well capitalized,” federal bank regulatory agencies require a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets of 10.0 percent and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0 percent. In addition to the risk-based guidelines, federal bank regulatory agencies require depository institutions to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to average assets, referred to as the leverage ratio, of 5.0 percent.

At September 30, 2020, the Bank’s capital ratios exceeded the minimum requirements for the Bank to be considered “well capitalized” and the Company exceeded all of its applicable minimum regulatory capital ratio requirements.

A capital conservation buffer of 2.5 percent became effective on January 1, 2019, and must be met to avoid limitations on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends, repurchase shares or pay discretionary bonuses. The Bank's capital conservation buffer was 6.77 percent and 6.64 percent and the Company's capital conservation buffer was 5.85 percent and 5.78 percent as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

In March 2020, the OCC, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the FDIC announced an interim final rule to delay the impact on regulatory capital arising from the implementation of CECL. The interim final rule maintains the three-year transition option in the previous rule and provides banks the option to delay for two years an estimate of CECL’s effect on regulatory capital, relative to the incurred loss methodology’s effect on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period (five-year transition option). The Company and the Bank adopted the capital transition relief over the permissible five-year period.

Note 11 — Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value including a three-level valuation hierarchy, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The three-level fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are defined as follows:

• Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
• Level 2 - Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
--- ---
• Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
--- ---

Fair value is used on a recurring basis for certain assets and liabilities in which fair value is the primary basis of accounting. Additionally, fair value is used on a non-recurring basis to evaluate assets or liabilities for impairment or for disclosure purposes.

We record securities available for sale at fair value on a recurring basis. Certain other assets, such as loans held for sale, impaired loans, OREO, and core deposit intangible, are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Non-recurring fair value measurements typically involve assets that are periodically evaluated for impairment and for which any impairment is recorded in the period in which the re-measurement is performed.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument below:

Securities available for sale - The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities, or other model-based valuation techniques requiring observable inputs other than quoted prices such as yield curve, prepayment speeds, and default rates. Level 1 securities include U.S. Treasury securities that are traded on an active exchange or by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets. The fair value of these securities is determined by quoted prices on an active exchange or over-the-counter market. Level 2 securities primarily include U.S. government agency and sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and debt securities as well as municipal bonds in markets that are active. In determining the fair value of the securities categorized as Level 2, we obtain reports from nationally recognized broker-dealers detailing the fair value of each investment security held as of each reporting date. The broker-dealers use prices obtained from nationally recognized pricing services to value our fixed income securities. The fair value of the municipal securities is determined based on pricing data provided by nationally recognized pricing services. We review the prices obtained for reasonableness based on our understanding of the marketplace, and also consider any credit issues related to the bonds. As we have not made any adjustments to the market quotes provided to us and as they are based on observable market data, they have been categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Level 3 securities are instruments that are not traded in the market. As such, no observable market data for the instrument is available, which necessitates the use of significant unobservable inputs.

Loans held for sale - Loans held for sale are all SBA loans and carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Management obtains quotes, bids or pricing indication sheets on all or part of these loans directly from the purchasing financial institutions. Premiums received or to be received on the quotes, bids or pricing indication sheets are indicative of the fact that cost is lower than fair value. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the entire balance of SBA loans held for sale was recorded at its cost. We record SBA loans held for sale on a nonrecurring basis with Level 2 inputs.

Individually analyzed loans receivable - Nonaccrual loans receivable and performing restructured loans receivable are individually analyzed for reporting purposes and are measured and recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis to determine if they exhibit credit risk characteristics. All such loans receivable with a carrying balance over $250,000 are analyzed individually for the amount to determine if a reserve is required, if any. All such loans with a carrying balance of $250,000 or less are evaluated or analyzed in pools to determine if they exhibit any credit risk characteristics requiring reserves. The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, nonrecurring fair value adjustments to collateral-dependent impaired loans are recorded based on either the current appraised value of the collateral, a Level 2 measurement, or management’s judgment and estimation of value reported on older appraisals that are then adjusted based on recent market trends, a Level 3 measurement.

OREO - Fair value of OREO is based primarily on third party appraisals, less costs to sell and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Appraisals are required annually and may be updated more frequently as circumstances require and the fair value adjustments are made to OREO based on the updated appraised value of the property.

The fair value of the Level 3 loans receivable demonstrating credit risk characteristics at September 30, 2020 were determined utilizing the fair value measurement methodology for assets measured on a non-recurring basis. Such loans receivable measured at fair value at September 30, 2020 consisted of seven commercial real estate loans with a fair value of $13.4 million, three construction loans with a fair value of $29.4 million, three residential mortgages with a fair value of $1.8 million, one commercial term loan with a fair value of $41,000, one commercial term loan fully secured by cash with a fair value of $247,000,

and three consumer loans with a fair value of $1.2 million. The fair value of collateral dependent loans is determined on a non-recurring basis using either the sales comparison approach or the income approach by obtaining third party appraisals.

ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis are discussed above.

The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data in order to develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Topic 825). This standard, among other provisions, requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. Other than certain financial instruments for which we have concluded that the carrying amounts approximate fair value, the fair value estimates shown below are based on an exit price notion as of September 30, 2020, as required by ASU 2016-01. The financial instruments for which we have concluded that the carrying amounts approximate fair value include, cash and due from banks, accrued interest receivable and payable, and noninterest-bearing deposits. The fair values of off-balance sheet items are based upon the difference between the current value of similar loans and the price at which the Bank has committed to make the loans.

The estimated fair values of financial instruments were as follows:

Note 12 — Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk similar to the risk involved with on-balance sheet items.

The Bank’s exposure to losses in the event of non-performance by the other party to commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, was based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, premises and equipment, and income-producing or borrower-occupied properties.

The following table shows the distribution of undisbursed loan commitments as of the dates indicated:

September 30, December 31,
2020 2019
(in thousands)
Commitments to extend credit $ 444,782 $ 371,287
Standby letters of credit 48,513 31,372
Commercial letters of credit 17,577 11,133
Total undisbursed loan commitments $ 510,872 $ 413,792

The allowance for credit losses related to off-balance sheet items is maintained at a level believed to be sufficient to absorb probable losses related to these unfunded credit facilities. The determination of the allowance adequacy is based on periodic evaluations of the unfunded credit facilities including an assessment of the probability of commitment usage, credit risk factors for loans outstanding to these same customers, and the terms and expiration dates of the unfunded credit facilities.

Activity in the allowance for credit losses related to off-balance sheet items was as follows for the periods indicated:

Note 13 — Leases

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), effective January 1, 2019. We had approximately 42 operating leases for real estate and other assets at September 30, 2020. These included various leases for our branch and office locations as well as those for postage and copier machines and an advertising billboard. Our leases had initial lease terms of two to twenty-five years. Most leases included one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from two to twelve years.

For leases where we were reasonably certain to renew, those option periods were included within the lease term and, therefore, the measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Certain leases included options to terminate the lease, which allows the contract parties to terminate their obligations under the lease contract, typically in return for an agreed financial consideration. The terms and conditions of the termination options vary by contract. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less were not recognized on the balance sheet. We recognized lease expense for these leases on a straight line basis over the lease term. Certain lease agreements included payments based on Consumer Price Index (CPI) on which variable lease payments were determined and included in the right-of-use asset and liability. Variable lease payments that were not based on CPI were excluded from the right-of-use asset and lease liability and recognized in the period in which the obligations for those payments were incurred. Our lease agreements did not contain any material residual value guarantees, restrictions or covenants.

In determining whether a contract contained a lease, we determined whether an arrangement was or included a lease at contract inception. Operating lease right-of-use asset and liability were recognized at commencement date and initially measured based on the present value of lease payments over the defined lease term. The opening balance for both our right-of-use asset and lease liability were $40.9 million as of the adoption date of January 1, 2019.

We had real estate lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. However, we elected the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from lease components for all classes of underlying assets. For certain equipment leases, such as machine equipment, we accounted for the lease and associated non-lease components as a single lease component.

In determining the discount rates, since most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we used our incremental borrowing rate provided by the FHLB of San Francisco based on the information available at the commencement date to calculate the present value of lease payments. In order to apply the incremental borrowing rate, a portfolio approach with a collateralized rate was utilized. Assets were grouped based on similar lease terms and economic environments in a manner whereby the Company reasonably expects that the application does not differ materially from a lease-by-lease approach.

The Company's right-of-use asset is included in prepaid expenses and other assets and our lease liability is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

As of September 30, 2020, the right-of-use asset and lease liability balances were $51.6 million and $54.6 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, the right-of-use asset and lease liability were $36.5 million and $37.2 million, respectively. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, net lease expense recorded under such leases amounted to $2.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, net lease expense recorded under such leases amounted to $6.1 million and $5.9 million, respectively.

The following table presents the Company's remaining lease liability by maturity as of September 30, 2020:

Amount
(in thousands)
2020 $ 7,213
2021 6,977
2022 7,045
2023 6,704
2024 6,290
Thereafter 26,868
Remaining lease commitments 61,097
Interest (6,499 )
Present value of lease liability $ 54,597

Weighted average remaining lease terms for the Company's operating leases were 9.01 years and 8.57 years as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Weighted average discount rates used for the Company's operating leases was 2.43 percent and 3.24 percent as of September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company chose the practical expedients and reviewed the lease and non-lease components for any impairment or otherwise, subsequently determining that no cumulative-effect adjustment to equity was necessary as part of implementing the modified retrospective approach for its adoption of ASC 842.

Cash paid and included in cash flows from operating activities for amounts used in the measurement of the lease liability of the Company's operating leases was $1.6 million and $5.4 million, and $1.7 million and $3.4 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Note 14 — Liquidity

Hanmi Financial

As of September 30, 2020, Hanmi Financial had $16.1 million in cash on deposit with its bank subsidiary. Management believes that Hanmi Financial, on a stand-alone basis, had adequate liquid assets to meet its current debt obligations.

Hanmi Bank

The principal objective of our liquidity management program is to maintain the Bank’s ability to meet the day-to-day cash flow requirements of our customers who wish either to withdraw funds or to draw upon credit facilities to meet their cash needs. Management believes that the Bank, on a stand-alone basis, has adequate liquid assets to meet its current obligations. The Bank’s primary funding source will continue to be deposits originating from its branch platform. The Bank’s wholesale funds historically consisted of FHLB advances and brokered deposits. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Bank had $150.0 million and $90.0 million of FHLB advances and $206.5 million and $264.2 million, respectively, of brokered deposits. The Bank had no advances with the FRB under the PPPLF as of September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019. There were no outstanding borrowings with the FRB as of September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

We monitor the sources and uses of funds on a regular basis to maintain an acceptable liquidity position. The Bank’s primary source of borrowings is the FHLB, from which the Bank is eligible to borrow up to 30.0 percent of its assets. As of September 30, 2020, the remaining available borrowing capacity was $1.43 billion compared with $878.4 million, as of December 31, 2019.

The amount that the FHLB is willing to advance differs based on the quality and character of qualifying collateral pledged by the Bank, and the FHLB may adjust the advance rates for qualifying collateral upwards or downwards from time to time. To the extent deposit renewals and deposit growth are not sufficient to fund maturing and withdrawable deposits, repay maturing borrowings, fund existing and future loans, leases and securities, and otherwise fund working capital needs and capital expenditures, the Bank may utilize the remaining borrowing capacity from its FHLB borrowing arrangement.

Note 15 — Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Accounting Policy for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), provides the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how the entity accounts for derivative instruments and related hedged items, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Further, qualitative disclosures are required that explain the Company’s objectives and strategies for using derivatives, as well as quantitative disclosures about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative instruments.

As required by ASC 815, the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.  The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge.  The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions.  The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments.  Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates.  The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s borrowings.

Non-Designated Hedges

Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Company provides to certain customers.  The Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies.  Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting derivatives that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions.  As the interest rate derivatives associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer derivatives and the offsetting derivatives are recognized directly in earnings.

The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2020. No such instruments were outstanding as of December 31, 2019.

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company either defaults or is capable of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. In addition, these agreements may also require the Company to post additional collateral should it fail to maintain its status as a well- or adequately- capitalized institution.

As of September 30, 2020, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $1.1 million. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had posted $1.2 million of collateral related to these agreements and is essentially over-collateralized since its net liability position is $77,000 ($1.0 million fair value of assets less $1.1 million fair value of liabilities) as of the end of the period. If the Company had breached any of the provisions described above at September 30, 2020, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $1.1 million.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. This analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K”) and with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2020 (this “Report”).

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant economic dislocation in the United States as many state and local governments have ordered non-essential businesses to close and residents to shelter in place at home.  This has resulted in an unprecedented slow-down in economic activity, a dramatic increase in unemployment and extreme volatility in the stock market, and in particular, bank stocks, have significantly declined in value.  In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Federal Reserve reduced the benchmark Federal funds rate to a target range of 0 percent to 0.25 percent, and the yields on 10- and 30-year treasury notes have declined to historic lows.  Various state governments and federal agencies are requiring lenders to provide forbearance and other relief to borrowers (e.g., waiving late payment and other fees).  The federal banking agencies have encouraged financial institutions to prudently work with affected borrowers and recently passed legislation has provided relief from reporting loan classifications due to modifications related to the COVID-19 outbreak.  Certain industries have been particularly hard-hit, including the travel and hospitality industry, the restaurant industry and the retail industry.  Finally, the spread of the coronavirus has caused us to modify our business practices, including employee travel, employee work locations, and cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences. We have many employees working remotely and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers and business partners.

Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the statements contained in this Report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements in this Report other than statements of historical fact are “forward–looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including, but not limited to, statements about anticipated future operating and financial performance, financial position and liquidity, business strategies, regulatory and competitive outlook, investment and expenditure plans, capital and financing needs, plans and objectives of management for future operations, and other similar forecasts and statements of expectation and statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue,” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, strategies, outlook, needs, plans, objectives or achievements to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statement. These factors include the following: failure to maintain adequate levels of capital and liquidity to support our operations; the effect of potential future supervisory action against us or Hanmi Bank; general economic and business conditions internationally, nationally and in those areas in which we operate; volatility and deterioration in the credit and equity markets; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; availability of capital from private and government sources; demographic changes; competition for loans and deposits and failure to attract or retain loans and deposits; fluctuations in interest rates and a decline in the level of our interest rate spread; risks of natural disasters; a failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, including cyber-attacks; the failure to maintain current technologies; inability to successfully implement future information technology enhancements; difficult business and economic conditions that can adversely affect our industry and business, including competition, fraudulent activity and negative publicity; risks associated with Small Business Administration loans; failure to attract or retain key employees; our ability to access cost-effective funding; fluctuations in real estate values; changes in accounting policies and practices; the imposition of tariffs or other domestic or international governmental policies impacting the value of the products of our borrowers; changes in governmental regulation, including, but not limited to, any increase in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance premiums; the ability of Hanmi Bank to make distributions to Hanmi Financial Corporation, which is restricted by certain factors, including Hanmi Bank’s retained earnings, net income, prior distributions made, and certain other financial tests; ability to identify a suitable strategic partner or to consummate a strategic transaction; adequacy of our allowance for credit losses; credit quality and the effect of credit quality on our credit losses expense and allowance for credit losses; changes in the financial performance and/or condition of our borrowers and the ability of our borrowers to perform under the terms of their loans and other terms of credit agreements; our ability to control expenses; changes in securities markets; and risks as it relates to cyber security against our information technology infrastructure and those of our third party providers and vendors.

Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including when the coronavirus can be controlled and abated and whether the gradual reopening of businesses will result in a meaningful increase in economic activity. As the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, we could be subject to any of the following risks, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations: demand for our products and services may decline, making it difficult to grow assets and income; if the economy is unable to substantially reopen, and high levels of unemployment continue for an extended period of time, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase, resulting in increased charges and reduced income; collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value, which could cause credit loss expense to increase; our allowance for credit losses may have to be increased if borrowers experience financial difficulties beyond forbearance periods, which will adversely affect our net income; the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us; as the result of the decline in the Federal Reserve Board’s target federal funds rate, the yield on our assets may decline to a greater extent than the decline in our cost of interest-bearing liabilities, reducing our net interest margin and spread and reducing net income; a material decrease in net income or a net loss over several quarters could result in a decrease in the rate of our quarterly cash dividend; our cyber security risks are increased as the result of an increase in the number of employees working remotely; we rely on third party vendors for certain services and the unavailability of a critical service due to the COVID-19 outbreak could have an adverse effect on us; Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation premiums may increase if the agency experiences additional resolution costs; potential goodwill impairment charges could result if acquired assets and operations are adversely affected and remain at reduced levels; due to recent legislation and government action limiting foreclosure of real property and reduced governmental capacity to effect business transactions and property transfers, we may have more difficulty taking possession of collateral supporting our loans, which may negatively impact our ability to minimize our losses, which could adversely impact our financial results; and we face litigation, regulatory enforcement and reputation risk as a result of our participation in the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) and the risk that the Small Business Administration may not fund some or all PPP loan guaranties.  Moreover, our future success and profitability substantially depends on the management skills of our executive officers and directors, many of whom have held officer and director positions with us for many years. The unanticipated loss or unavailability of key employees due to the outbreak could harm our ability to operate our business or execute our business strategy. We may not be successful in finding and integrating suitable successors in the event of key employee loss or unavailability.

For additional information concerning risks we face, see “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Report and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I of the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which such statements were made, except as required by law.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have established various accounting policies that govern the application of GAAP in the preparation of our financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are described in the Notes to consolidated financial statements in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We had no significant changes in our accounting policies since the filing of our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, except for the adoption of ASU 2016-13 as described in Note 1 of the September 30, 2020 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Certain accounting policies require us to make significant estimates and assumptions that have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities, and we consider these critical accounting policies. For a description of these critical accounting policies, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies” in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material impact on the carrying value of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and our results of operations for the reporting periods. Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company provides certain supplemental financial information by methods other than in accordance with U.S. GAAP, including tangible assets, tangible stockholders' equity and tangible book value per share. These non-GAAP measures are used by management in analyzing Hanmi Financial’s capital strength.

Tangible equity is calculated by subtracting goodwill and other intangible assets (principally core deposit intangibles) from stockholders’ equity. Banking and financial institution regulators also exclude goodwill and core deposit intangibles from stockholders’ equity when assessing the capital adequacy of a financial institution.

Management believes the presentation of these financial measures excluding the impact of the items described in the preceding paragraph provide useful supplemental information that are essential to a proper understanding of the capital strength of Hanmi Financial. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitution for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

Executive Overview

Net income was $16.3 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared with $12.4 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago. The increase in net income for the 2020 third quarter reflects primarily an increase in net interest income mainly attributed to lower interest expense on deposits. Additional contributors to the increase in net income included a lower provision for loan losses and for off-balance sheet items, lower noninterest expense from professional fees related to one troubled-loan relationship and the implementation of the new CECL accounting standard, and a decrease in other operating expenses from an established reserve for the repair of a SBA guarantee and lower expenses on foreclosed assets.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $27.9 million, or $0.91 per diluted share and $29.7 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, respectively. The decline in net income for the 2020 nine-month period reflects primarily an increase in the provision for loan losses and for off-balance sheet items offset by increased interest income, the gain on the sale of securities, and by lower other operating expenses related to foreclosed assets.

The Company adopted effective January 1, 2020, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, which replaced the incurred loss methodology for estimating credit losses with a forward-looking current expected credit losses (“CECL”) methodology.  The adoption resulted in a $17.4 million increase to the beginning balance of the allowance for credit losses, a $0.3 million decrease to the beginning balance of the allowance for off-balance sheet-items and an after-tax charge of $12.2 million to the beginning balance of retained earnings.

For the third quarter of 2020, credit loss expense was $38,000 compared with $1.6 million loan loss provision for the third quarter of 2019.  The 2020 third quarter credit loss expense included a $697,000 provision for loan losses and a $658,000 credit to reduce the allowance for off-balance sheet items. The 2020 third quarter credit loss expense reflects a change from the 2020 second quarter in macroeconomic assumptions including a lower projected average unemployment rate for the subsequent four quarters and a higher projected annual GDP growth rate. The credit loss expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 included a $36.7 million provision for loan losses and a $3.6 million provision for off-balance sheet items. The provision for loan losses for the first nine months of 2019 was $19.4 million while the provision for off-balance sheet items for the same period a year ago was $0.1 million

Noninterest income for the first nine months of 2020 increased to $34.3 million from $20.8 million for the same period a year ago, primarily due to $479.9 million in sales of securities resulting in $15.7 million in gains. The gains on sales of securities reflect the repositioning of the securities portfolio to capture the high level of unrealized gains arising from the low rate environment. Hanmi reinvested the proceeds into U.S. Treasuries and U.S. Government agencies mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and notes.

Other financial highlights include the following:

Cash and due from banks increased $238.1 million to $359.8 million as of September 30, 2020 from $121.7 million at December 31, 2019, primarily from a higher volume of non-interest bearing deposits and increased borrowings. The increase in borrowings was largely intended to boost Bank liquidity amid disruptions caused to businesses and individuals by the outbreak of COVID-19. The increase in deposits reflects depositors placing proceeds from PPP loans and proceeds from other government assistance programs with the Bank, as well as an increase from our marketing efforts and depositors seeking safety for their funds.

Loans receivable, before the allowance for credit losses, were $4.83 billion at September 30, 2020 compared with $4.61 billion at December 31, 2019. The increase includes Hanmi’s 2020 second quarter participation in the PPP where we originated $302.9 million of PPP loans.

Deposits were $5.19 billion at September 30, 2020 compared with $4.70 billion at December 31, 2019. The increase reflects principally a $569.4 million increase in non-interest bearing demand deposits.

Return on average assets for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was 1.08 percent and 0.90 percent respectively, while the return on average stockholders’ equity was 11.74 percent and 8.67 percent for the same respective periods. Return on average assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was 0.64 percent and 0.73 percent, respectively, while the return on average stockholders’ equity was 6.72 percent and 7.03 percent for the same respective periods.

Tangible book value per share was $17.95 at September 30, 2020 compared with $17.90 at December 31, 2019; tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets was 9.05 percent at September 30, 2020 compared with 9.98 percent at December 31, 2019.

The Bank continues to be well-capitalized at September 30, 2020 with a Total risk-based capital ratio of 14.77 percent, a Tier-1 risk-based capital ratio of 13.51 percent, a Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 13.51 percent and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.88 percent.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

Our primary source of revenue is net interest income, which is the difference between interest and fees derived from earning assets, and interest paid on liabilities obtained to fund those assets. Our net interest income is affected by changes in the level and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as volume changes. Net interest income is also affected by changes in the yields earned on assets and rates paid on liabilities, referred to as rate changes. Interest rates charged on loans receivable are affected principally by changes to interest rates, the demand for loans receivable, the supply of money available for lending purposes, and other competitive factors. Those factors are, in turn, affected by general economic conditions and other factors beyond our control, such as federal economic policies, the general supply of money in the economy, legislative tax policies, governmental budgetary matters, and the actions of the Federal Reserve.

The following table shows: the average balance of assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity; the amount of interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, and interest expense; the average yield or rate for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities; and the net interest spread and the net interest margin for the periods indicated. All average balances are daily average balances.

Interest and dividend income, on a taxable equivalent basis, decreased $7.3 million, or 11.8 percent, to $54.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 from $62.2 million for the same period in 2019. Interest expense decreased $8.9 million, or 49.0 percent, to $9.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 from $18.1 million for the same period in 2019. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, was $45.6 million and $44.1 million, respectively. Net interest income increased during the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared with the same period in 2019 mainly due to decreases in rates paid on money market, savings, and time deposits and lower average balances on time deposits, offset by decreases in yields earned on loans and securities. The net interest spread and net interest margin, on a taxable equivalent basis, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were 2.72 percent and 3.13 percent, respectively, compared with 2.70 percent and 3.36 percent, respectively, for the same period in 2019.

The average balance of interest-earning assets increased $585.9 million, or 11.3 percent, to $5.79 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2020 from $5.20 billion for the same period in 2019. The average balance of loans receivable increased $214.7 million, or 4.8 percent, to $4.73 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2020 from $4.52 billion for the same period in 2019. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities decreased $13.1 million, or 0.4 percent, to $3.51 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared with $3.52 billion for the same period in 2019.

The average yield on interest-earning assets, on a taxable equivalent basis, decreased 97 basis points to 3.77 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2020 from 4.74 percent for the same period in 2019, primarily due to the decrease in the general level of interest rates. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 99 basis points to 1.05 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2020 from 2.04 percent for the same period in 2019, mainly due to lower market interest rates and a smaller percentage of higher-costing time deposits in the portfolio.

The following table shows: the average balance of assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity; the amount of interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, and interest expense; the average yield or rate for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities; and the net interest spread and the net interest margin for the periods indicated.

Interest and dividend income, on a taxable equivalent basis, decreased $16.7 million, or 9.0 percent, to $169.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from $186.2 million for the same period in 2019. Interest expense decreased $18.7 million, or 34.5 percent, to $35.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from $54.1 million for the same period in 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, was $134.0 million and $132.1 million, respectively. Net interest income increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared with the same period in 2019 mainly due to decreases on rates paid for money market, savings and time deposits, as well as lower average balances on time deposits, offset by decreases in the yields on loans receivable. The net interest spread and net interest margin, on a taxable equivalent basis, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were 2.74 percent and 3.21 percent, respectively, compared with 2.75 percent and 3.39 percent, respectively, for the same period in 2019.

The average balance of interest-earning assets increased $367.8 million, or 7.1 percent, to $5.58 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from $5.21 billion for the same period in 2019. The average balance of loans receivable increased $129.9 million, or 2.9 percent, to $4.64 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from $4.51 billion for the same period in 2019. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $5.7 million, or 0.2 percent, to $3.58 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared with $3.57 billion for the same period in 2019.

The average yield on interest-earning assets, on a taxable equivalent basis, decreased 72 basis points to 4.06 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from 4.78 percent for the same period in 2019, primarily due to the decrease in the general level of interest rates of interest-earning assets. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 71 basis points to 1.32 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from 2.03 percent for the same period in 2019, mainly due to lower market interest rates and a smaller percentage of higher-costing time deposits in the portfolio.

Credit Loss Expense

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, credit loss expense was $0.04 million, comprised of a $0.7 million provision for loan losses and a $0.7 million credit to provision for off-balance sheet items compared with a loan loss provision of $1.7 million for the same period in 2019 and a provision for off-balance sheet items of $0.2 million. The credit loss expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 reflects the change from the 2020 second quarter in macroeconomic assumptions including a lower projected average unemployment rate for the subsequent four quarters and a higher projected annual GDP growth rate as well as lower levels of unused loan commitments.

The credit loss expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $40.4 million and $19.4 million. Included in credit loss expense was a provision for loan losses of $36.7 million and a provision for off-balance sheet items of $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The loan loss provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $19.3 million, and the provision for off-balance sheet items was $0.1 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, noninterest income was $34.3 million, an increase of $13.5 million, or 64.5 percent, compared with $20.8 million for the same period in 2019. The increase in noninterest income for the nine months

ended September 30, 2020 was mostly attributed to $15.7 million in gains on sales of securities relating to the sale of $479.9 million of securities. Securities transactions for the same period a year ago resulted in gains of $1.3 million as we sold all of our tax-exempt municipal bonds during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. In addition, other operating income decreased from the absence of a gain on the sale of bank premises in 2020 compared to a $1.2 million gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, noninterest expense was $29.9 million, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 8.29 percent, compared with $32.6 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease was primarily due to lower professional fees related to a troubled-loan relationship and the implementation of the new CECL standard, as well as from a $0.5 million charge for a SBA guarantee repair and lower expenses on foreclosed assets.

--- ---

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, noninterest expense was $88.1 million, a decrease of $3.7 million, or 4.0 percent, compared with $91.8 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction of professional fees related to the troubled loan relationship and the implementation of the new CECL standard, as well as lower other operating expenses on foreclosed assets. These were partially offset by higher data processing expenses and increased occupancy and equipment costs.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $6.4 million and $4.3 million representing an effective income tax rate of 28.3 percent and 25.9 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019 was principally due restricted share vesting at values lower than the grant date value.

Income tax expense was $11.9 million and $11.8 million representing an effective income tax rate of 30.0 percent and 28.5 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019 was principally due to lower value of grant vestings during the third quarter 2020.

Financial Condition

As of September 30, 2020, our securities portfolio consisted of U.S. government agency and sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and debt securities and, to a lesser extent, U.S. Treasury securities. Most of these securities carry fixed interest rates. Other than holdings of U.S. government agency and sponsored agency obligations, there were no securities of any one issuer exceeding 10 percent of stockholders’ equity as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, net loans receivable were $4.75 billion and $4.55 billion, respectively, representing an increase of $198.8 million, or 4.4 percent. The increase in net loans receivable as of September 30, 2020 compared with December 31, 2019 was attributable to new loan production of $1.00 billion during the nine-month period, of which $302.9 million was related to loans issued under the PPP. These increases were partially offset by higher loan payoffs of $330.0 million and net loan amortization of $358.7 million, as well as a higher allowance for credit losses by $25.2 million, $17.4 million of which related to the adoption of CECL (ASU 2016-13) on January 1, 2020.

Classified loans were $106.2 million and $94.0 million at September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase during the third quarter reflects additions or downgrades of $33.4 million and reductions or upgrades of $21.1 million. At September 30, 2020 classified loans included $21.7 million of loans adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nonperforming Loans and Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming loans consist of loans receivable on nonaccrual status and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest. Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans and OREO. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of management, the full timely collection of principal or interest is in doubt. Generally, the accrual of interest is discontinued when principal or interest payments become more than 90 days past due, unless we believe the loan is adequately collateralized and in the process of collection. However, in certain instances, we may place a particular loan on nonaccrual status earlier, depending upon the individual circumstances surrounding the loan's delinquency. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against current income. Subsequent collections of cash are applied as principal reductions when received, except when the ultimate collectability of principal is probable, in which case interest payments are credited to income. Nonaccrual loans may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest become current and full repayment is expected. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis for impaired loans not meeting the criteria for nonaccrual. OREO consists of properties acquired by foreclosure or similar means that management intends to offer for sale.

Except for nonperforming loans set forth in the table below and the matters described in the following paragraph, we are not aware of any other loans as of September 30, 2020 for which known credit problems of the borrower would cause serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with their present repayment terms, or any known events that would result in a loan being designated as nonperforming at some future date. We cannot, however, predict the extent to which a deterioration in general economic conditions, real estate values, increases in general rates of interest, or changes in the financial condition or business of borrower may adversely affect a borrower’s ability to pay.

On March 22, 2020, banking regulators issued a statement titled the “Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus” that encourages financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are or may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations due to the effects of COVID-19. Additionally, Section 4013 of the CARES Act further provides that a qualified loan modification is exempt by law from classification as a TDR as defined by GAAP, from the period beginning March 1, 2020 and until the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the date that is 60 days after the date on which the national emergency concerning the COVID-19 outbreak declared by the President of the United States under the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) terminates. Accordingly, we are offering short-term modifications made in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who are current and otherwise not past due.  These include short-term, 90 days or less, modifications in the form of payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant.  As of September 30, 2020, the Bank approved 278 modification requests representing $578.5 million of loans and leases, or 12.0 percent of the loan portfolio, of which 209, or $574.2 million, represented loan modifications and 69, or $4.3 million, represented lease modifications.

--- ---

Nonperforming loans were $64.3 million and $63.8 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The increase was principally due to the addition of two film-tax credits totaling $12.6 million, two construction loans totaling $16.4 million, and three commercial real estate loans totaling $5.5 million. This was offset by a charge-off of $25.4 million of a $40.0 million troubled loan relationship (comprised of a $13.5 million construction/land loan charge off and an $11.9 million commercial business loan charge-off), the placement of a $7.9 million commercial real estate loan back to accrual status, and a payoff of a $6.0 million commercial real estate loan.

As of September 30, 2020, OREO consisted of two properties with a combined carrying value of $1.1 million compared to two properties with a combined carrying value of $0.01 million as of December 31, 2019.

Individually Evaluated Loans

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13, impaired loans were measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan was collateral dependent, less estimated costs to sell. If the estimated value of the impaired loan was less than the recorded investment in the loan, we charged-off the deficiency against the allowance for credit losses or we established a specific allowance in the allowance for credit losses. Additionally, we excluded from the quarterly migration analysis impaired loans when determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses required for the period.

We review, under ASU 2016-13, all loans on an individual basis when they do not share similar risk characteristics with loan pools.

The following table provides information on individually evaluated loans as of September 30, 2020 and impaired loans as of December 31, 2019:

Individually evaluated loans increased $4.1 million, or 6.3 percent, to $68.9 million as of September 30, 2020, from $64.8 million at December 31, 2019, principally due to the addition of two film-tax credits totaling $12.6 million, two construction loans totaling $16.4 million, and three commercial real estate loans totaling $5.5 million. This was offset by a charge-off of $25.4 million of a $40.0 million troubled loan relationship (comprised of a $13.5 million construction/land loan charge off and an $11.9 million commercial business loan charge-off), and payoff of a $6.0 million commercial real estate loan. Specific allowances associated with individually evaluated loans were $3.7 million as of September 30, 2020 compared with $25.8 million as of December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the charge-off of $25.2 million troubled loan relationship, offset by a specific provision for the two film-tax credits.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we would have recognized $1.5 million of interest income had loans individually evaluated performed in accordance with their original terms. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we would have recognized $0.9 million of interest income had impaired loans receivable performed in accordance with their original terms. Of these amounts, we actually recognized interest income of $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we would have recognized $4.1 million of interest income had loans individually evaluated performed in accordance with their original terms. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we would have recognized $2.4 million of interest income had impaired loans receivable performed in accordance with their original terms. Of these amounts, we actually recognized interest income of $1.3 million and $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Total $ 17,963 $ 7,957 $ 25,920 $ 55,478 $ 830 $ 56,308

For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we restructured one loan for $1.5 million and three loans for $3.3 million, respectively, classified as TDRs.

As of September 30, 2020, TDRs on an accrual status were $8.0 million, all of which were reductions of principal and interest and extensions of maturity, of which a $0.01 million allowance relating to these loans was included in the allowance for credit losses. For the TDRs on an accrual status, we determined that, based on the financial capabilities of the borrowers at the time of the loan restructuring and the borrowers’ past performance in the payment of debt service under the previous loan terms, performance and collection under the revised terms is probable. As of September 30, 2020, TDRs on a nonaccrual status were $18.0 million, and a $0.02 million allowance relating to these loans was included in the allowance for credit losses.

As of December 31, 2019, TDRs on an accrual status were $0.8 million, all of which were reductions of principal and interest and extensions of maturity, of which a $0.03 million allowance relating to these loans was included in the allowance for credit losses. As of December 31, 2019, TDRs on a nonaccrual status were $55.5 million, and a $22.7 million allowance relating to these loans was included in the allowance for credit losses.

Allowance for Credit Losses and Allowance for Credit Losses Related to Off-Balance Sheet Items

The Company’s estimate of the allowance for credit losses at September 30, 2020 reflects losses expected over the remaining contractual life of the assets. The contractual term does not consider extensions, renewals or modifications unless the Company has identified an expected troubled debt restructuring.

At September 30, 2020, the Company used the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method to estimate allowances for credit losses for the commercial and industrial loan portfolio and the consumer loan portfolio. For all loan pools utilizing the DCF method, the Company utilizes and forecasts the national unemployment rate as the primary loss driver.  In addition, the Company determined that four quarters represented a reasonable and supportable forecast period and reverted to a historical loss rate over twelve quarters on a straight-line basis. As of and for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company leveraged the economic

projections from Moody’s Analytics Economic Scenarios and Forecasts to inform its loss driver forecasts over the four-quarter forecast period whereas it had previously relied on FRED economic data. For each of these loan segments, the Company applied an annualized historical Probability of Default/Loss Given Default (“PD/LGD”) using all available historical periods.  The reason for the change from relying on the FRED economic data to Moody’s data was because Moody’s data is updated more frequently and timely than FOMC or FRED, and thus provides a better forecast for PD/LGD models. Since reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions are imbedded directly into the DCF model, qualitative adjustments are reduced but considered. Qualitative adjustments were based on the Company's judgment of company, market, industry or business specific data, and changes in the underlying loan composition of specific portfolios.

At September 30, 2020, the Company used the PD/LGD method for the commercial property, construction and residential property portfolios. The Company used historical periods that included an economic downturn to derive historical losses for better alignment in the estimation of expected losses under the PD/LGD method. The Company leveraged Frye-Jacobs modeled LGD rates for loan segments with no historical losses.  In addition, for those loans granted a loan modification due to COVID-19, the Company used historical periods under PD/LGD as of March 31, 2020 and for the subsequent six months ended September 30, 2020, to reflect the moratorium on TDRs under Section 4013 of the CARES Act. The PD/LGD method incorporates a forecast into loss estimates using a qualitative adjustment. Qualitative loss factors were based on the Company's judgment of company, market, industry or business specific data, changes in the underlying loan composition of specific portfolios, trends relating to credit quality, delinquency, nonperforming and adversely rated loans, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions.

The Company used the Weighted Average Remaining Maturity (“WARM”) method to estimate expected credit losses for equipment financing agreements or the equipment lease receivables portfolio. The Company applied an expected loss ratio based on internal historical losses adjusted as appropriate for qualitative factors. The Company's evaluation of market, industry or business specific data, changes in the underlying portfolio composition, trends relating to credit quality, delinquency, nonperforming and adversely rated leases, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions inform the estimate of qualitative factors.

The allowance for credit losses was $86.6 million at September 30, 2020 compared with $61.4 million at December 31, 2019.  The allowance attributed to loans individually evaluated for impairment was $3.7 million at September 30, 2020 compared with $25.8 million at December 31, 2019, the decline primarily reflecting the $25.2 million charge-off of the previously identified troubled loan relationship during the first quarter of 2020. The allowance attributed to loans collectively evaluated for impairment was $82.9 million at September 30, 2020 compared with $35.6 million at December 31, 2019.  The increase principally reflects the adoption of ASU 2016-13 as well as the change from January 1, 2020 to September 30, 2020 in the macroeconomic assumptions including a higher projected average unemployment rate for the subsequent four quarters and a lower projected GDP growth rate.  The Company recognizes the inherent uncertainties in the estimate of the allowance for credit losses and the effect the COVID-19 pandemic may have on borrowers.

Deposits increased $495.3 million, or 10.5 percent, to $5.19 billion as of September 30, 2020 from $4.70 billion as of December 31, 2019. The increase in deposits was mainly attributable to the $569.4 million increase in demand – noninterest-bearing deposits and the increase of $127.5 million in money market and savings accounts, offset by a decline of $217.4 million in time deposits.

Borrowings

At September 30, 2020, the Bank had $150.0 million in term advances from the FHLB compared with $75.0 million at December 31, 2019.  There were no overnight advances at September 30, 2020, compared to $15.0 million at December 31, 2019. In addition, the Bank had no Paycheck Protection Program Lending Fund (“PPPLF”) advances outstanding as of September 30, 2020.

Interest Rate Risk Management

The spread between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities is the principal component of net interest income, and interest rate changes substantially affect our financial performance. We emphasize capital protection through stable earnings. In order to achieve stable earnings, we prudently manage our assets and liabilities and closely monitor the percentage changes in net interest income and equity value in relation to limits established within our guidelines.

The Company performs simulation modeling to estimate the potential effects of interest rate changes. The following table summarizes one of the stress simulations performed to forecast the impact of changing interest rates on net interest income and the value of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities reflected on our balance sheet (i.e., an instantaneous parallel shift in the yield curve of the magnitude indicated below) as of September 30, 2020. The Company compares this stress simulation to policy limits, which specify the maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure over a 1- to 12-month and a 13- to 24- month horizon, given the basis point adjustment in interest rates reflected below.

The estimated sensitivity does not necessarily represent our forecast, and the results may not be indicative of actual changes to our net interest income. These estimates are based upon a number of assumptions including the nature and timing of interest rate levels including yield curve shape, prepayments on loans receivable and securities, pricing strategies on loans receivable and deposits, and replacement of asset and liability cash flows. While the assumptions used are based on current economic and local market conditions, there is no assurance as to the predictive nature of these conditions, including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Capital Resources

Historically, our primary source of capital has been the retention of operating earnings. In order to ensure adequate capital levels, the Board regularly assesses projected sources and uses of capital, expected loan growth, anticipated strategic actions (such as stock repurchases and dividends), and projected capital thresholds under adverse and severely adverse economic conditions. In addition, the Board considers the Company’s access to capital from financial markets through the issuance of additional debt and securities, including common stock or notes, to meet its capital needs.

In response to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board reduced the quarterly cash dividend paid on common stock for the third and fourth quarter of 2020 to $0.08 per share, from $0.12 per share paid in the second quarter of 2020 and $0.24 per share paid in the first quarter of 2020. The Board believes these actions were the most prudent course of action as it continues to monitor the results of operations and financial condition of the Company and expects to continue to re-evaluate quarterly the level of any subsequent regular quarterly dividend.  We cannot assure you that future dividends will not be reduced or eliminated based on such re-evaluation.

The Company’s ability to pay dividends to shareholders depends in part upon dividends it receives from the Bank. California law restricts the amount available for cash dividends to the lesser of a bank’s retained earnings or net income for its last three fiscal years (less any distributions to shareholders made during such period).  Where the above test is not met, cash dividends may still be paid, with the prior approval of the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (“DFPI”), in an amount not exceeding the greatest of: (1) retained earnings of the bank; (2) net income of the bank for its last fiscal year; or (3) the net income of the bank for its current fiscal year.  As of October 1, 2020, after giving effect to the 2020 fourth quarter dividend declared by the Company, the Bank has the ability to pay $4.7 million of dividends without the prior approval of the Commissioner of the DFPI.

At September 30, 2020, the Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio of 14.77 percent, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 13.51 percent, common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 13.51 percent and Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 10.88 percent, placed the Bank in the “well capitalized” category pursuant to capital rules, which is defined as institutions with total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 10.00 percent, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 8.00 percent, common equity Tier 1 capital ratios equal to or greater than 6.50 percent, and Tier 1 leverage capital ratio equal to or greater than 5.00 percent.

At September 30, 2020, the Company's total risk-based capital ratio was 15.16 percent, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 11.85 percent, common equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 11.43 percent and Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 9.53 percent.

Liquidity

Hanmi Financial

At September 30, 2020, Hanmi Financial had $16.1 million in cash on deposit with its bank subsidiary. Management believes that Hanmi Financial, on a stand-alone basis, has adequate liquid assets to meet its current obligations.

Hanmi Bank

The principal objective of our liquidity management program is to maintain the Bank’s ability to meet the day-to-day cash flow requirements of our customers who wish either to withdraw funds or to draw upon credit facilities to meet their cash needs. Management believes that the Bank, on a stand-alone basis, has adequate liquid assets to meet its current obligations. The Bank’s primary funding source will continue to be deposits originating from its branch platform. The Bank’s wholesale funds historically consisted of FHLB advances and brokered deposits. As of September 30, 2020, the Bank had $150.0 million in advances from the FHLB, and $206.5 million of brokered deposits. The Bank had no advances with the FRB under the PPPLF. There were no outstanding borrowings with the FRB as of December 31, 2019.

We monitor the sources and uses of funds on a regular basis to maintain an acceptable liquidity position. The Bank’s primary source of borrowings is the FHLB, from which the Bank is eligible to borrow up to 30 percent of its assets. As of September 30, 2020, the total remaining available borrowing capacity was $1.43 billion.

As a means of augmenting its liquidity, the Bank had an available borrowing source of $33.6 million from the Federal Reserve Discount Window, to which the Bank pledged securities with a carrying value of $35.0 million, and had no borrowings under this source as of September 30, 2020.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”), our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness and design of our disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) and have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, Hanmi Financial and its subsidiaries are parties to litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business, such as claims to enforce liens, claims involving the origination and servicing of loans, and other issues related to the business of Hanmi Financial and its subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, the resolution of any such issues would not have a material adverse impact on the financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity of Hanmi Financial or its subsidiaries.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in risk factors applicable to the Corporation from those disclosed in "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On January 24, 2019, the Company announced a stock repurchase program that authorized the repurchase of up to 5 percent of its outstanding shares or approximately 1.5 million shares of common stock. As of September 30, 2020, approximately 1.0 million shares remained available for future purchases under that stock repurchase program. Shortly following the federal proclamation declaring a national emergency concerning the COVID-19 outbreak, Hanmi suspended its share repurchase program and does not anticipate it will consider resumption of share repurchases until the rescission of the national emergency. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company acquired 3,108 shares from employees in connection with the satisfaction of employee tax withholding obligations incurred through vesting of Company stock awards.
