News Release
HOPE BANCORP REPORTS 2024 FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS;
SIGNS DEFINITIVE MERGER WITH TERRITORIAL BANCORP
LOS ANGELES - April 29, 2024 - Hope Bancorp, Inc. (“Company”) (NASDAQ: HOPE), the holding company of Bank of Hope (“Bank”), today reported unaudited financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net income totaled $25.9 million, or $0.21 per diluted common share. This compares with net income of $26.5 million, or $0.22 per diluted common share, in the fourth quarter of 2023.
“We are pleased with the progress we are making in our strategic transformation, realigning our structure around lines of business and products,” stated Kevin S. Kim, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “All our business lines exceeded their deposit goals for the first quarter of 2024; growth in customer deposits offset a planned reduction of brokered time deposits, resulting in stable balances quarter-over-quarter. Our first quarter financial results demonstrated the benefits of our more efficient structure with noninterest expenses, excluding notable items(1), decreasing 2% from the preceding fourth quarter of 2023. All our capital ratios increased quarter-over-quarter, with our tangible common equity ratio(2) rising to 9.33% and our total capital ratio rising to 14.19%, both as of March 31, 2024.
“The strength of our balance sheet positioned us well to capitalize on strategic opportunities in the market. This morning, we announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement with Territorial Bancorp, the stock holding company of Territorial Savings Bank, a $2.2 billion savings bank headquartered in Hawai‘i,” continued Kim. “Territorial has a stable, low-cost core deposit base, excellent asset quality, and provides us an entry point to the attractive Hawai‘i market, which has a large Asian American and Pacific Islander population. Moreover, the combination with Territorial would more than double the size of Hope’s residential mortgage portfolio. We expect this transaction, upon completion, to be immediately accretive to earnings, sustainably strengthening our profitability while further diversifying our franchise.”
Territorial Bancorp Merger Agreement
As concurrently announced in a joint news release issued today, the Company and Territorial Bancorp Inc. (Nasdaq: TBNK) (“Territorial”) signed a definitive merger agreement, which is expected to create the largest regional bank catering to multi-ethnic customers with full-service branches across the continental United States and Hawai‘i.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, following the completion of the transaction, Territorial shareholders will receive a fixed exchange ratio of 0.8048 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for each share of Territorial common stock they own, in a 100% stock-for-stock transaction valued at approximately $78.6 million. Based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on April 26, 2024, this represents a value of $8.82 per share of Territorial common stock, although the actual value will be determined upon transaction closing. Upon completion of the transaction, it is expected that the Company’s shareholders will own approximately 94.4% of the combined entity, and Territorial’s shareholders will own approximately 5.6%, with the actual percentages being determined as of the transaction closing date. The transaction is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for Territorial shareholders.
Upon completion of the merger, the Company intends to preserve and build upon the 100-plus year legacy of the Territorial Savings Bank brand name, culture and commitment to its local communities. Accordingly, the legacy Territorial franchise in Hawai‘i will continue to do business under the Territorial Savings Bank brand, as a trade name of Bank of Hope.
(1) Noninterest expense, excluding the FDIC special assessment, restructuring charges and merger-related expenses (also referred to collectively as the “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 9 and 10.

Operating Results for the 2024 First Quarter
Net income and earnings per share. Net income for the 2024 first quarter was $25.9 million, or $0.21 per diluted common share, compared with $26.5 million, or $0.22 per diluted common share, for the immediately preceding fourth quarter. Notable items impacting net income for the 2024 first quarter included $752,000 of merger-related expenses, after tax, related to the Company’s proposed acquisition of Territorial announced today; an accrual of $721,000, after tax, for an incremental Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) special assessment; and restructuring costs of $103,000, after tax, related to the Company’s strategic reorganization announced in the 2023 fourth quarter. In the immediately preceding fourth quarter, notable items impacting net income were $8.7 million of restructuring costs, after tax, and $3.1 million, after tax, accrued for an FDIC special assessment. Excluding these notable items, net income(3) for the 2024 first quarter was $27.4 million, compared with $38.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. Earnings per diluted common share excluding notable items(3) amounted to $0.23 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared with $0.32 for the three months ended December 31, 2023.
Net interest income and net interest margin. Net interest income before provision for credit losses for the 2024 first quarter totaled $115.0 million, compared with $125.9 million in the immediately preceding fourth quarter, a decrease of 9% quarter-over-quarter. First quarter 2024 net interest margin contracted 15 basis points to 2.55% from 2.70% in the 2023 fourth quarter. The linked-quarter change in net interest income and net interest margin largely reflected a decline in the average balance of loans and a higher cost of interest bearing deposits, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of time deposits and wholesale borrowings.
Noninterest income. Noninterest income for the 2024 first quarter totaled $8.3 million, compared with $9.3 million in the immediately preceding fourth quarter. Growth in deposit account service fees was offset by reductions in other income and fees. The Company continued to retain SBA 7(a)loan production on its balance sheet and did not sell any loans in the 2024 first quarter.
Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense for the 2024 first quarter was $84.8 million, including $1.0 million of merger-related expenses, an incremental accrual of $1.0 million for the FDIC special assessment, and $143,000 of restructuring-related costs, all on a pre-tax basis. For the immediately preceding fourth quarter, noninterest expense was $99.2 million, including $11.1 million of pre-tax restructuring costs and $4.0 million (pre-tax) accrued for the FDIC special assessment.
Excluding notable items, noninterest expense for the 2024 first quarter was $82.7 million, down 2% compared with $84.1 million for the 2023 fourth quarter, and down 7% compared with $88.7 million for the 2023 first quarter. First quarter 2024 salaries and employee benefits expense increased 1% quarter-over-quarter to $47.8 million, up from $47.4 million in the 2023 fourth quarter, reflecting seasonal increases in payroll taxes and vacation accruals, partially offset by reduced salary and benefits costs following the restructuring in the fourth quarter of 2023. Year-over-year, salaries and employee benefits expense decreased 16% from $57.2 million in the 2023 first quarter. Occupancy expenses decreased 6% quarter-over-quarter and 10% year-over-year, reflecting branch rationalization.
Tax rate. The effective tax rate for the 2024 first quarter was 27.9%, compared with 24.9% for the full year 2023. The provision for income taxes in the 2024 first quarter was $10.0 million and included $1.1 million of true-up adjustments, which are not expected to recur. For the full year 2024, the Company expects the effective tax rate to be approximately 26%.
(3) Net income excluding notable items and earnings per diluted common share excluding notable items are non-GAAP financial measures. Quantitative reconciliations of the most directly comparable GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures are provided in the accompanying financial information on Table Pages 9 and 10.

The quarter-over-quarter reduction reflects the payoff of $1.00 billion of the Company’s BTFP borrowings during the 2024 first quarter.

Forward Looking Statements & Additional Disclosures This presentation contains statements regarding future events or the future financial performance of Hope Bancorp, Inc. (“Company”) and its proposed merger with Territorial Bancorp Inc. (“Territorial”) that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, low-cost core deposit base, diversification of the loan portfolio, expansion of market share, percentage earnings per share growth, capital to support growth, and statements about the proposed transaction being immediately accretive. Additionally, the forward-looking statements also relate to, among other things, expectations regarding the business and economic environment in which we operate, projections of future performance and financial outlook, perceived opportunities in the market, and statements regarding our business strategies, objectives and vision and statements regarding our strategic reorganization. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “will,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “targets,” or similar expressions. With respect to any such forward-looking statements, the Company and Territorial each claims the protection provided for in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results, performance or achievements may differ significantly from the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. Upon completion of the merger, the combined company’s actual results, performance or achievements may differ significantly from the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. The closing of the proposed transaction is subject to regulatory approvals, the approval of the shareholders of Territorial, and other customary closing conditions. There is no assurance that such conditions will be met or that the proposed merger will be consummated within the expected time frame, or at all. If the transaction is consummated, factors that may cause actual outcomes to differ from what is expressed or forecasted in these forward-looking statements include, among things: difficulties and delays in integrating the Company and Territorial and achieving anticipated synergies, cost savings and other benefits from the transaction; higher than anticipated transaction costs; deposit attrition, operating costs, customer loss and business disruption following the merger, including difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees and customers, may be greater than expected; and required governmental approvals of the merger may not be obtained on its proposed terms and schedule, or without regulatory constraints that may limit growth. Other risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: possible further deterioration in economic conditions in our areas of operation; interest rate risk associated with volatile interest rates and related asset-liability matching risk; liquidity risks; risk of significant non-earning assets, and net credit losses that could occur, particularly in times of weak economic conditions or times of rising interest rates; the failure of or changes to assumptions and estimates underlying the Company’s allowances for credit losses, and regulatory risks associated with current and future regulations. For additional information concerning these and other risk factors, see the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of events or circumstances after the date of such statements except as required by law. Additional Information and Where to Find It In connection with the proposed merger, Hope Bancorp, Inc. will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a Registration Statement on Form S-4, which will include a Proxy Statement of Territorial Bancorp Inc., that also constitutes a prospectus of Hope Bancorp, Inc.
