News Release
HOPE BANCORP REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025
For the fourth quarter of 2025, net income of $34.5 million, up 12% quarter-over-quarter and up 42% year-over-year
LOS ANGELES – January 27, 2026 – Hope Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: HOPE), the holding company of Bank of Hope (the “Bank”), today reported unaudited financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.
For the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded net income of $34.5 million, or $0.27 per diluted common share, up 12% from net income of $30.8 million, or $0.24 per diluted common share, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and up 42% from net income of $24.3 million, or $0.20 per diluted common share, for the three months ended December 31, 2024.
For the full year ended December 31, 2025, net income totaled $61.6 million, or $0.49 per diluted common share.
Excluding notable items(1), net income for the full year ended December 31, 2025, totaled $113.3 million, or $0.89 per diluted common share, up 10% from $103.4 million, or $0.85 per diluted common share, for the full year ended December 31, 2024.
“We delivered solid earnings growth in the fourth quarter of 2025, with net income up 12% from the third quarter of 2025, reflecting growth in net interest income, strength in customer fee revenue, and lower provisions for credit losses,” commented Kevin S. Kim, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.
“For the full year 2025, we significantly lowered our cost of deposits, reduced reliance on brokered deposits, enhanced our earning assets mix, added experienced senior leadership as well as front line talent, and strengthened our asset quality with a steady decrease in criticized assets in each quarter of 2025. We also completed the acquisition of Territorial Bancorp in April 2025, which expanded our banking footprint to the strategically attractive market of Hawaii,” continued Kim. “These actions contributed to further optimizing our balance sheet and meaningfully improved our underlying core profitability metrics. We are well positioned to build on this momentum in 2026 and beyond, as we continue making progress towards enhancing our financial performance and earnings growth.”
“I am deeply grateful for the dedication of our colleagues at Bank of Hope. Their steadfast commitment to excellence has propelled our organization forward and strengthened our position as the leading regional bank serving multicultural communities across the continental United States and Hawaii. I am confident that our collective focus and hard work will drive even greater positive outcomes in the years to come,” concluded Kim.
(1) Net income, profitability metrics and earnings per share excluding notable items are non-GAAP financial measures. Notable items in 2025 comprised merger-related expenses, restructuring-related items, a net loss on investment portfolio repositioning, a reversal of an FDIC special assessment, and the impact of a California state tax law change. Notable items in 2024 comprised merger-related expenses, restructuring-related items, and an FDIC special assessment expense. 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.

Operating Results for the Fourth Quarter of 2025
Net interest income and net interest margin. Net interest income before provision for credit losses totaled $127.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of $0.8 million, or 1%, compared with $126.6 million for the third quarter of 2025. Net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased by 1 basis point to 2.90%, up from 2.89% for the third quarter of 2025, and expanded 40 basis points year-over-year, up from 2.50% for the fourth quarter of 2024.
The quarter-over-quarter increases in net interest income and net interest margin were primarily driven by a faster decline in the cost of interest bearing liabilities, relative to the change in the yield on average earning assets. For the fourth quarter of 2025, the cost of interest bearing deposits decreased 17 basis points to 3.52%, reflecting deposit repricing and the impact of federal funds target rate cuts, compared with an 11 basis point decrease in the yield on average earning assets.
Noninterest income. For the fourth quarter of 2025, noninterest income totaled $18.4 million, up $3.0 million, or 19%, compared with $15.4 million for the third quarter of 2025. The increase was driven by a meaningful growth in customer-level swap fees, which increased $2.4 million quarter-over-quarter, as well as higher service fees on deposit accounts, gains on the sale of securities, and increased loan-related fees. The Company sold $46.0 million of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans in the fourth quarter of 2025 for a net gain of $2.6 million, compared with $48.1 million in the third quarter of 2025 for a net gain of $2.8 million.
Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2025 totaled $99.4 million, up 3% from $96.9 million for the third quarter of 2025. The quarter-over-quarter change in noninterest expense was primarily driven by higher compensation-related costs, which largely reflected the impact of hiring to strengthen the franchise and support revenue generation capabilities. The efficiency ratio was 68.2% for the fourth quarter of 2025, essentially stable compared with the third quarter of 2025 as revenue growth supported the investment spending.
Income tax provision and tax rate. For the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a provision for income tax of $4.7 million, compared with a provision for income tax of $5.6 million for the third quarter of 2025. For the fourth quarter of 2025, the reported effective tax rate was 11.9%. For the full year ended December 31, 2025, the reported effective tax rate was 20.3%, compared with 25.1% for the full year ended December 31, 2024. The year-over-year decrease in the full year effective tax rate was primarily due to the positive impacts from renewable energy and affordable housing partnership investment tax credits that the Company realized in 2025. The fourth quarter 2025 provision for income tax also included true up entries related to deferred tax asset and liability remeasurement.
