News Release
HOPE BANCORP REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2025
Net income of $30.8 million, up 28% year-over-year
LOS ANGELES – October 28, 2025 – Hope Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: HOPE), the holding company of Bank of Hope (the “Bank”), today reported unaudited financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2025.
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded net income of $30.8 million, or $0.24 per diluted common share, up 28% from net income of $24.2 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and up from a net loss of $27.9 million, or $(0.22) per diluted common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The second quarter of 2025 reported loss reflected notable items related to a securities portfolio repositioning, the completion of the Territorial Bancorp Inc. (“Territorial”) acquisition on April 2, 2025, and a change to the California state tax apportionment law.
Excluding notable items(1), net income for the third quarter of 2025 was $31.6 million, or $0.25 per diluted common share, up 26% from $25.2 million year-over-year, and up 29% from $24.5 million for the second quarter of 2025.
“We are pleased to report strong earnings growth for the third quarter of 2025, driven by the momentum that we have been building in our business lines. Net interest income grew a robust 8% quarter-over-quarter, which was our highest linked quarter organic growth in three years,” commented Kevin S. Kim, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In addition, positive operating leverage and lower credit costs contributed to the strong earnings growth and improved profitability this quarter.”
“Highlights this quarter included diversified loan growth, lower cost of deposits and improved asset quality with a 10% reduction in criticized loans from June 30, 2025. We have been making sustained investments in talent at Bank of Hope to strengthen our loan production capabilities, and we remain focused on enhancing our deposit mix and reducing our cost of funds. The linked quarter net interest margin expansion of 20 basis points for the third quarter of 2025 was our widest since 2012.”
“Our capital levels are strong, and our liquidity is ample. This quarter reflects progress that we have been making on our strategic priorities to improve our financial performance, laying a strong foundation for the coming years. I want to extend my gratitude to all the bankers at Bank of Hope for their unwavering dedication and commitment to excellence. Their hard work is the driving force behind our continued growth and success, and I am proud of what we are building together as the leading regional bank catering to multicultural customers across the continental United States and Hawaii,” concluded Kim.
(1) Net income excluding notable items is a non-GAAP financial measure. Notable items in the third quarter of 2025 and in the third quarter of 2024 comprised merger-related expenses. Notable items in the second quarter of 2025 comprised a loss on restructuring of investment securities, merger-related items and an impact of California state tax law change. 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 Third Quarter of 2025
Net interest income and net interest margin. Net interest income before provision for credit losses totaled $126.6 million for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of $9.1 million, or 8%, compared with $117.5 million for the second quarter of 2025. Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2025 expanded by 20 basis points to 2.89%, up from 2.69% for the second quarter of 2025.
The quarter-over-quarter increase in net interest income and expansion in net interest margin were primarily driven by average loan growth, higher yields on earning assets, and a lower cost of interest bearing deposits. Quarter-over-quarter, the yield on average investment securities increased 52 basis points to 3.77% for the third quarter of 2025, reflecting a securities portfolio repositioning executed in the second quarter of 2025. For the third quarter of 2025, the yield on average loans was up five basis points sequentially to 5.93% and the cost of average interest bearing deposits decreased eight basis points sequentially to 3.69%.
Noninterest income. For the third quarter of 2025, noninterest income totaled $15.4 million, compared with $(23.0) million for the second quarter of 2025. Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2025 included a net loss on sales of available-for-sale securities of $38.9 million, pre-tax, related to an investment securities portfolio repositioning executed in June 2025. Excluding the net loss on sales of securities, which the Company considered a notable item, noninterest income(2) for the third quarter of 2025 decreased $515 thousand quarter-over-quarter. Growth in deposit service fees, international service fees, loan-related fees, foreign exchange and wire fees was offset by decreases in customer swap fee income and lower net gains on the sale of SBA loans. The Company sold $48.1 million of SBA loans in the third quarter of 2025, compared with $67.4 million in the second quarter of 2025.
Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2025 totaled $96.9 million, down from noninterest expense of $109.5 million for the second quarter of 2025. Excluding notable items, which consisted of merger-related expenses, noninterest expense(2) for the third quarter of 2025 was $95.9 million, up 4% from $92.2 million for the second quarter of 2025. The quarter-over-quarter change in noninterest expense, excluding notable items(2), was primarily driven by an increase in compensation-related costs, reflecting the Company’s sustained investment in talent to support growth. Revenue growth outpaced expense growth, generating positive operating leverage, and the efficiency ratio, excluding notable items(2), improved quarter-over-quarter to 67.5% for the third quarter of 2025, compared with 69.1% for the second quarter of 2025.
Income tax provision (benefit) and tax rate. For the third quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a provision for income tax of $5.6 million, compared with an income tax benefit of $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2025. For the second quarter of 2025, tax expense and tax rate included the impact of several notable items: a net loss on sales of securities related to an investment securities repositioning, merger-related items, and a change in California’s state tax apportionment law. For the third quarter of 2025, the reported effective tax rate was 15.4%.
(2) Noninterest income excluding notable items, noninterest expense excluding notable items, and efficiency ratio 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 10 to 12.

With the consummation of the acquisition of Territorial Bancorp, 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 Hope Bancorp and Territorial Bancorp and achieving anticipated synergies, cost savings and other benefits from the transaction; higher than anticipated transaction costs; and deposit attrition, operating costs, customer loss and business disruption following the acquisition, including difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees and customers, may be greater than expected. Other risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: possible renewed deterioration in economic conditions in Hope Bancorp’s areas of operation or elsewhere; 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 Hope Bancorp’s allowances for credit losses; potential increases in deposit insurance assessments and regulatory risks associated with current and future regulations; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Hope Bancorp; the impact of U.S. and global trade policies and tensions, including changes in, or the imposition of, tariffs and/or trade barriers and the economic impacts, volatility and uncertainty resulting therefrom, and geopolitical instability; and risks from natural disasters. For additional information concerning these and other risk factors, see Hope Bancorp’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
