News Release
HOPE BANCORP REPORTS 2025 SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS
LOS ANGELES – July 22, 2025 – Hope Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: HOPE), the holding company of Bank of Hope (the “Bank”), today reported unaudited financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2025.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a net loss of $27.9 million, or $(0.22) per diluted common share, which reflected the impact of a securities portfolio repositioning, the completion of the Territorial Bancorp Inc. (“Territorial”) transaction, and a change to the California state tax apportionment law. Excluding notable items(1), net income for the second quarter of 2025 was $24.5 million, or $0.19 per diluted common share.
In comparison, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded net income of $21.1 million, or $0.17 per diluted common share, and net income of $22.9 million, or $0.19 per diluted common share, excluding notable items.
As previously reported, the Company completed its acquisition of Honolulu-based Territorial, the holding company of Territorial Savings Bank, effective April 2, 2025. In addition, the Company repositioned a portion of its legacy investment securities portfolio available for sale (“AFS”) in June 2025. Accordingly, notable items in the 2025 second quarter totaled $52.4 million after tax, comprising the net loss on sales of securities related to the investment securities repositioning, merger-related items, and a one-time impact of a change in California’s state tax apportionment law that was signed on June 27, 2025.
“The second quarter of 2025 was a milestone quarter for Hope Bancorp as we completed the acquisition of Territorial Bancorp Inc. and expanded into the strategically important market of Hawaii,” said Kevin S. Kim, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Quarter-over-quarter, our net interest income grew 17% in the second quarter, our net interest margin expanded 15 basis points, and our net income, excluding notable items, increased 7%. Strengthening organic production and the addition of Territorial’s residential mortgage loans contributed to strong loan growth and further diversification of our loan portfolio. With the inclusion of Territorial’s lower-cost deposit base, we saw meaningful reductions in our cost of deposits.
“In addition, we sold a portion of our legacy investment securities portfolio in June 2025 as part of a strategic repositioning to help improve the Company’s future earnings and profitability. This transaction will contribute approximately $12 million to our interest income on an annual basis.
“We continue to maintain strong levels of capital and ample liquidity, and we believe we are better positioned than ever to capitalize on growth opportunities as the largest regional bank catering to multicultural customers across the continental United States and Hawaii,” concluded Kim.
Operating Results for the 2025 Second Quarter
Net interest income and net interest margin. Net interest income before provision for credit losses for the 2025 second quarter totaled $117.5 million, an increase of $16.7 million, or 17%, when compared with $100.8 million in the immediately preceding first quarter. Net interest margin for the 2025 second quarter expanded by 15 basis points to 2.69%, up from 2.54% for the 2025 first quarter. The increase in net interest income was primarily driven by average loan growth of 7%, which reflected the addition of Territorial and positive loan growth from the Hope legacy loan portfolio. The net interest margin expansion also reflected a 37 basis point reduction in the cost of average interest bearing deposits, which decreased to 3.77% in the 2025 second quarter, down from 4.14% in the 2025 first quarter. The cost of average total deposits was 2.96% in the 2025 second quarter, down 22 basis points from the immediately preceding first quarter. The improvement in the cost of deposits primarily reflected the impact of the Territorial acquisition and continued reduction of higher-cost deposits.
(1) Net income excluding notable items is a non-GAAP financial measure. Quantitative reconciliations of the most directly comparable GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures are provided in the accompanying financial information on Table Pages 10 to 12.

Noninterest income. For the 2025 second quarter, noninterest income totaled $(23.0) million, which included a net loss on sales of legacy securities AFS of $38.9 million, pre-tax, related to the investment securities portfolio repositioning executed in June 2025. The securities portfolio repositioning is expected to contribute approximately $12 million to the Company’s interest income on an annual basis.
Excluding the net loss on sales of legacy securities AFS, which the Company considers a notable item, noninterest income(2) for the 2025 second quarter was $15.9 million, compared with $15.7 million in the immediately preceding first quarter. Quarter-over-quarter, customer swap fee income, which is included in other income and fees, increased by $1.0 million, reflecting increased customer demand. First quarter 2025 other income included a favorable valuation mark of $1.7 million related to other non-SBA loans sold, which did not recur. The Company recorded net gains on the sale of SBA loans of $4.0 million in the 2025 second quarter, compared with $3.1 million in the preceding first quarter. In the second quarter of 2025, the Company sold $67.4 million of SBA loans, compared with $49.9 million in the immediately preceding first quarter.
Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense for the 2025 second quarter totaled $109.5 million. Excluding notable items, which consisted primarily of merger-related expenses, noninterest expense(2) for the 2025 second quarter was $92.2 million. This compares with noninterest expense of $83.9 million, or $81.3 million excluding notable items, in the immediately preceding first quarter. The quarter-over-quarter increase in noninterest expense primarily reflected the addition of the Territorial franchise to ongoing operations. The efficiency ratio, excluding notable items(2), improved quarter-over-quarter to 69.1% for the 2025 second quarter, compared with 69.8% for the 2025 first quarter.
Income tax provision (benefit) and tax rate. For the 2025 second quarter, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $(2.0) million, reflecting the reported GAAP net loss in the quarter, compared with a provision for income tax of $6.7 million for the 2025 first quarter. During the second quarter of 2025, income tax expense was negatively impacted by a deferred tax asset remeasurement of $4.9 million resulting from a change in California’s state tax apportionment law that was signed on June 27, 2025, and which became effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. This change in the tax law will serve to lower the Company’s ongoing effective tax rate by approximately 1%. The $4.9 million discrete item is included in the GAAP reconciliation tables on Table Pages 10 to 12 as a notable, non-recurring expense in the quarter. For the second quarter of 2025, the reported GAAP effective tax rate was 6.7%, or 20.1% excluding notable items(2), compared with an effective tax rate of 24.2% in the first quarter of 2025.
Balance Sheet Summary
Cash and investment securities. At June 30, 2025, cash and due from banks totaled $689.7 million, compared with $733.5 million at March 31, 2025. As of the close of the acquisition of Territorial, Territorial had $86.7 million in cash and cash equivalents.
Investment securities totaled $2.27 billion at June 30, 2025, and $2.09 billion at March 31, 2025. The investment securities portfolio acquired from Territorial was sold on April 2, 2025, at the close of the acquisition, at a market value of $535.2 million, with no gain or loss impact to the Company. The excess cash from the Territorial securities sale was redeployed into investment securities throughout the quarter, contributing to the quarter-over-quarter growth in investment securities AFS.
As previously announced, the Company sold a portion of its legacy investment securities portfolio AFS in June 2025 as part of a strategic repositioning. The Company sold investment securities AFS with a fair value of $417.9 million and an aggregate weighted average book yield of 2.33%, consisting of lower-yielding mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, municipal securities, and corporate bonds. Net proceeds from the sale of the legacy investment securities AFS were redeployed to purchase higher-yielding agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, and collateralized loan obligations, with an aggregate average current market yield of 5.42%.

Provision for credit losses. For the 2025 second quarter, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $15.0 million. This included $4.5 million of merger-related provision expenses that the Company considered a notable item, and which comprised $3.9 million of Day 1 provision for Territorial loans at acquisition close and a $0.6 million net write-off related to the exit of Bank of Hope’s legacy credit card portfolio.

Excluding notable items(3), the provision for credit losses for the 2025 second quarter was $10.5 million, which included $1.0 million of provision for unfunded loan commitments. This compares with a provision for credit losses of $4.8 million for the 2025 first quarter, which included a $0.4 million release of reserves for unfunded loan commitments. The quarter-over-quarter increase in the provision for credit losses, excluding notable items, largely reflected net charge offs in the 2025 second quarter, as well as a quarter-over-quarter increase in the allowance for unfunded loan commitments.
