The information included in this report pursuant to Item 2.02, Item 8.01 and Item 7.01 of Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1, Exhibit 99.2 and Exhibit 99.3) shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act.

The following risk factor supplements the “Risk Factors” section in our 2019 Form 10-K.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a material and adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and the further impact will depend on future developments that cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, the economic implications of the same, and the actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic.

The novel COVID-19 pandemic has substantially and negatively impacted the United States economy, disrupted global supply chains, considerably lowered equity market valuations, created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets, and materially increased unemployment levels. In addition, the pandemic has resulted in temporary closures of countless businesses and the institution of social distancing and sheltering in place requirements in most states and communities. As a result, the demand for our products and services has been and likely will continue to be significantly adversely impacted, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, the pandemic could result in the recognition of amplified credit losses in our loan portfolios and increases in our allowance for loan losses, particularly if businesses remain closed and our customers draw on their lines of credit. Similarly, because of changing economic and market conditions, we may be required to recognize impairments on goodwill or the securities we hold. Our business operations may also be further disrupted if significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively, including because of challenges arising as a result of circumstances related to working from home, illness, quarantines, government actions, or other restrictions in connection with the pandemic, and we have already temporarily closed certain of our branches. In response to the pandemic, we have also suspended residential property foreclosure sales, evictions, and involuntary automobile repossessions, and are offering payment deferrals and other expanded assistance for credit card, mortgage and small business lending customers, and future governmental actions may require these and other types of customer-related responses. In addition, we may take capital actions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, will depend on future developments that cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, the economic implications of the same and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.

News Release

HOPE BANCORP REPORTS 2020 SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

LOS ANGELES - July 30, 2020 - Hope Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: HOPE), the holding company of Bank of Hope (the “Bank”), today reported unaudited financial results for its three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, net income totaled $26.8 million, or $0.22 per diluted common share, compared with $26.0 million, or $0.21 per diluted common share for the 2020 first quarter. In the year-ago second quarter, net income totaled $42.7 million, or $0.34 per diluted common share.

“The second quarter of 2020 represented the most challenging operating environment in the history of our Bank, with the COVID-19 crisis exacerbated by the aggregate 150 basis point reduction in the Fed Funds rate in March and the mounting social justice movement across the nation,” said Kevin S. Kim, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hope Bancorp, Inc. “Notwithstanding these strong headwinds, I am proud of how the entire Bank of Hope team came together and has been managing through this difficult period. We delivered solid loan production, significant core deposit growth and positive deposit cost trends as well as meaningful cost reductions. We also supported many of our customers impacted by COVID-19 with modifications under the CARES Acts during the quarter and maintained relatively stable asset quality metrics. While our net interest margin was heavily impacted by the rate cuts as well as a buildup of our liquidity and resulting excess cash balances, we believe this quarter represents the trough. Going forward, we expect stable loan yields, continued reductions in our deposit costs and the deployment of excess cash balances will lead to an expansion of our net interest margin in the coming quarters.

“We are in the late stages of developing additional initiatives in light of the new normal designed to restructure our balance sheet and contain expenses to further optimize our operational performance. We believe the near-term implementation of these initiatives will lead to improved profitability as we progress through the year and beyond. With our robust capital and liquidity positions as well as the successes achieved to date with our deposit initiatives, we have great confidence in our ability to navigate through this new landscape and emerge as an even stronger regional bank to support the financial needs of our customers and communities and deliver greater value to our shareholders.”

Q2 2020 Highlights

•New loan originations totaled $832 million, including $480 million of PPP loans, which led to a 2.3% increase in loans receivable quarter-over-quarter, or 9% annualized.

•Total deposits increased 10.0% quarter-over-quarter, of which the vast majority of the growth was in noninterest bearing demand deposits.

•Continuation of favorable mix-shift to lower-cost core deposits contributed to a 47 basis point reduction quarter-over-quarter in total deposit costs.

•NIM compression of 52 basis points represents the trough, with expansion expected going forward from stable loan yields, continued reduction in deposit costs and deployment of excess cash.

•Strategic reductions in noninterest expenses contributed to an improved 1.60% ratio as a percentage of average assets, versus 1.87% in the preceding first quarter.

•Continued buildup of reserves with allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans receivable increasing to 1.26% at June 30, 2020 from 1.15% at March 31, 2020.

Operating Results for the 2020 Second Quarter

Net interest income before provision for credit losses for the 2020 second quarter totaled $109.8 million, compared with $119.3 million in the 2020 first quarter. The decrease primarily reflects a full quarter’s impact of the aggregate 150 basis point decrease in the Fed Funds rate in March 2020, along with a large payoff of an acquired loan that contributed $5.6 million in purchase accounting discount accretion in the first quarter of 2020. Net interest income before provision for credit losses amounted to $117.2 million in the year-ago second quarter.

The net interest margin for the 2020 second quarter decreased 52 basis points to 2.79% from 3.31% in the preceding first quarter and was primarily impacted by the Fed Funds rate reductions and a significant increase in lower-yielding cash balances as the Company temporarily increased its excess liquidity as a precautionary measure in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the large payoff mentioned above benefited the 2020 first quarter net interest margin by 16 basis points. The net interest margin for the 2019 second quarter was 3.31%.

The weighted average yield on loans for the 2020 second quarter decreased 83 basis points to 4.23% from 5.06% in the 2020 first quarter, reflecting the repricing of variable rate loans in the Company’s portfolio as a result of the 150 basis point reduction in the Fed Funds rate. In the year-ago second quarter, the weighted average yield on loans was 5.32%.

3-3-3 NASDAQ: HOPE

The weighted average cost of deposits for the 2020 second quarter decreased 47 basis points to 0.87% from 1.34% for the 2020 first quarter and decreased 75 basis points from 1.62% for the year-ago second quarter. The significant improvements in the weighted average cost of deposits reflects the Company’s ongoing success with its initiative to enhance its deposit mix to favor lower-cost core deposits.

Noninterest income totaled $11.2 million for the 2020 second quarter, compared with $13.3 million for the preceding first quarter and $12.3 million for the 2019 second quarter. The Company noted a 38% reduction in service fees on deposit accounts as transaction volumes decreased significantly in the midst of the COVID-19 related lockdowns. In addition, the net gains on sales of other loans in the preceding first quarter included gains from a bulk sale of residential mortgage loans, together with sales of new residential mortgage originations.

Noninterest expense for the 2020 second quarter declined 7% to $67.0 million from $72.1 million in the preceding first quarter, with reductions in compensation expense and professional fees being the largest factors driving the improvement. In the year-ago second quarter, noninterest expense totaled $71.4 million. Noninterest expense as a percentage of average assets for the 2020 second quarter improved to 1.60% from 1.87% for the 2020 first quarter and 1.88% for the 2019 second quarter.

Salaries and employee benefits expense for the 2020 second quarter decreased 9% to $38.9 million from $42.5 million for the 2020 first quarter. The Company noted that PPP loan origination costs of $5.2 million was a material factor in the reduced compensation expense for the current quarter. In the 2019 second quarter, salaries and employee benefits expense totaled $39.3 million.

The effective tax rate for the 2020 second quarter was 26.8%, compared with 19.9% for the preceding first quarter, reflecting the Company’s projections for increased pretax income in the second half of 2020 than previously budgeted. In the year-ago second quarter, the effective tax rate was 25.0%.

Balance Sheet Summary

New loan originations funded during the 2020 second quarter totaled $832.0 million and included SBA PPP loan originations of $480.1 million, traditional SBA loan production of $5.9 million and residential mortgage loan originations of $72.3 million. This compares with 2020 first quarter originations of $624.5 million, including traditional SBA loan production of $49.8 million and residential mortgage loan originations of $37.4 million. In the year-ago second quarter, new loan originations funded totaled $503.9 million, including SBA loan production of $37.2 million and residential mortgage loan originations of $74.0 million.

At June 30, 2020, loans receivable increased 2.3% to $12.87 billion from $12.58 billion at March 31, 2020 and increased 7.5% from $11.98 billion at June 30, 2019.

Total deposits at June 30, 2020 increased by $1.29 billion, or 10.0% quarter-over-quarter, to $14.12 billion from $12.84 billion at March 31, 2020, with $1.03 billion of the increase in noninterest bearing demand deposits, of which approximately $326 million is identified as being related to PPP loans that the Company originated. Total deposits at June 30, 2019 amounted to $12.17 billion. The increases in total deposits versus the comparable periods reflect a continuation of a positive shift in the mix of deposits favoring core deposits over the last year.

Following is the deposit composition as of June 30, 2020, March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019:

(dollars in thousands) (unaudited) 6/30/2020 3/31/2020 % change 6/30/2019 % change
Noninterest bearing demand deposits $ 4,036,383 $ 3,010,143 34 % $ 3,009,218 34 %

Total deposit balances $ 14,123,532 $ 12,836,567 10 % $ 12,172,384 16 %

Reflecting the continued favorable mix-shift in deposits, total cost of deposits decreased 47 basis points to 0.87% from 1.34% for the 2020 first quarter and decreased 75 basis points from 1.62% for the 2019 second quarter.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The 2020 second quarter provision for credit losses under the CECL methodology was $17.5 million, compared with $28.0 million for the preceding first quarter. This compares with a provision for loan losses under the prior incurred loss methodology of $1.2 million for the 2019 second quarter.

The provision for credit losses for the 2020 second quarter reflects updated macroeconomic variables incorporating the Moody’s Analytics Baseline scenario published June 2020, enhanced qualitative factors in the Company’s ACL methodology, relatively stable asset quality metrics and minimal credit losses, as well as an additional Management overlay to accounts related to COVID-19 modifications.

The ACL as of June 30, 2020 increased to $161.8 million from $144.9 million at March 31, 2020 and from $94.1 million at June 30, 2019. As a percentage of loans receivable (excluding loans held for sale), the ACL rose to 1.26% at June 30, 2020 from 1.15% at March 31, 2020 and from 0.79% at June 30, 2019. The coverage ratio of the ACL to nonperforming loans was 118.82%, 124.06% and 88.73% at June 30, 2020, March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively.

Capital

Hope Bancorp, Inc. (unaudited) 6/30/2020 3/31/2020 6/30/2019 Minimum Guideline for “Well-Capitalized” Bank

Total Risk-Based Ratio 13.23% 13.06% 13.42% 10.00%

As previously announced, the Company has elected to defer the impact of the adoption of CECL for two years, at which time the impact will be phased-in over a three year period. Therefore, the Day 1 CECL adjustment has not had an impact to the Company’s regulatory capital ratios as of June 30, 2020.

Both tangible common equity and tangible common equity per share are non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of the Company’s total stockholders’ equity to tangible common equity is provided in the accompanying financial information on Table Page 10.
