Hanmi Financial Corporation Reports Fourth-Quarter and Fiscal Year 2009 Financial Results

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Hanmi Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: HAFC) ("we," "our" or "Hanmi"), the holding company for Hanmi Bank (the "Bank"), reported a fourth-quarter net loss of $35.9 million, or ($0.70) per share, primarily driven by $77 million in credit loss provisions, compared to a net loss of $3.8 million, or ($0.08) per share, in the comparable period a year ago.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, Hanmi reported a net loss of $122.3 million, or ($2.57) per share, mainly due to $196.4 million in credit loss provisions, compared to a net loss of $102.1 million, or ($2.23) per share, for the year ended December 31, 2008. In 2008, there was a non-cash impairment loss on goodwill of $107.4 million, for which there was no comparable loss in 2009.

"Over the past year, we achieved a number of positive changes in what continues to be a very difficult economic environment," said Jay S. Yoo, Hanmi's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Most notably, we have made significant progress in strengthening our loan monitoring and loan review departments, maintaining appropriate loan loss reserves in anticipation of asset deterioration, managing our liquidity, and enhancing our net interest margin."

"Notwithstanding these improvements, our focus during the first half of 2010 will be to fully comply with previously announced regulatory requirements by further strengthening our capital position, improving asset quality, and enhancing liquidity. Our highest priority during the next few months will be to raise sufficient capital, executing our strategic plan to comply with regulatory requirements.

"To enhance liquidity, we will continue our efforts to reduce our illiquid assets as well as further increase our core deposits through product features and upgraded customer service. With the expectation of substantial progress in achieving these goals along with a successful capital raise," concluded Mr. Yoo, "we will strive to be back in position for organic growth."

Results of Operations

Net interest income before provision for credit losses increased by $1.9 million, or 7.3 percent, to $28.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 as compared with $26.5 million in the prior quarter as the $1.9 million decrease in interest and fees on loans was more than offset by a $4.5 million decrease in total interest expense. For the full year 2009, net interest income before provision for credit losses decreased by $33.2 million, or 24.7 percent, to $101.2 million, as compared with $134.4 million in the prior year.

The average yield on the loan portfolio was 5.54 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009, an increase of four basis points compared to 5.50 percent in the third quarter. Thanks to our proper management of high-cost time deposits that were offered through early 2009 and matured in the fourth quarter, combined with an overall decline of deposit rates in our community, the cost of average interest-bearing deposits was 2.26 percent, a decrease of 44 basis points compared to 2.70 percent in the third quarter. Consistent with this trend, net interest margin was 3.46 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009, an increase of 46 basis points compared to 3.00 percent in the third quarter.

The provision for credit losses in the fourth quarter of 2009 increased by $27.5 million to $77.0 million, compared to $49.5 million in the prior quarter, due mainly to the increase in our historical loss ratios used in the allowance for loan losses migration analysis which was the result of our increase in charge-offs in recent quarters. The charge-offs of impaired loans for the deficiency of collateral in this weakening commercial real estate ("CRE") market also contributed to the increase. For the full year, the provision for credit losses was $196.4 million compared to $75.7 million in 2008.

Total non-interest income in the fourth quarter of 2009 was $7.8 million as compared with $8.2 million in the third quarter of 2009 and $7.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. The decrease in non-interest income from the third quarter is mainly attributable to the overall decrease in service charges in the slowed economy. Consistent with our balance sheet deleveraging strategy, we continued to sell SBA loans and recognized a $354,000 gain in the fourth quarter, as compared with $864,000 in the prior quarter. In the fourth quarter, we also sold investment securities, mainly municipal bonds, for risk management purposes, and recorded a net gain of $665,000. For the full year 2009, total non-interest income was $32.1 million, a decrease of $39,000, or 0.1 percent, from the prior year.

Total non-interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2009 was $22.7 million as compared with $23.7 million in the third quarter, a decrease of $979,000, or 4.1 percent, from the prior quarter. A major contributor to the sequential decrease in fourth-quarter non-interest expense was a decrease of $2.5 million in other real estate owned expenses, partially offset by an increase of $1.0 million in deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments. For the full year 2009, total non-interest expense was $90.4 million compared to $194.3 million in 2008. The 2008 expense included a $107.4 million impairment loss on goodwill.

With the aforementioned decreases in non-interest expense and non-interest income and the increase in net interest income before provision for credit losses, the fourth-quarter 2009 efficiency ratio (non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income before provision for credit losses and non-interest income) was 62.6 percent, as compared with 68.2 percent in the third quarter and 55.5 percent in the comparable period a year ago.

Balance Sheet and Asset Quality

Reflecting the Bank's ongoing program to de-leverage the balance sheet, at December 31, 2009, total assets decreased by $294.8 million, or 8.5 percent, to $3.16 billion as compared with $3.46 billion at September 30, 2009, and decreased by $713.1 million, or 18.4 percent, in comparison to $3.88 billion at December 31, 2008.

Gross loans, net of deferred loan fees, decreased by $158.4 million, or 5.3%, to $2.82 billion as of December 31, 2009, compared with $2.98 billion at September 30, 2009, and decreased by $543 million, or 16.2%, as compared with $3.36 billion at December 31, 2008. The bulk of the decrease relative to the prior quarter-end is attributable to the stringent lending policy implementing selective loan renewals in addition to sale of loans and charge-offs.

Total deposits decreased by $242.5 million, or 8.1 percent, to $2.75 billion at December 31, 2009 compared to $2.99 billion at September 30, 2009, and decreased by $320.8 million, or 10.4 percent, compared to $3.07 billion at December 31, 2008. The decrease in total deposits compared to the previous quarter-end reflects a reduction in brokered deposits of $188.4 million and a reduction in Freedom CDs of $114.3 million. FHLB advances also decreased by $6.8 million.

Fourth-quarter charge-offs, net of recoveries, were $57.3 million compared to $29.9 million in the prior quarter and $18.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. Fourth-quarter charge-offs include a partial charge-off in the amount of $4.6 million on a construction loan to a senior housing project as a result of a decrease in collateral value; investment property loan charge-offs totaling $13.5 million; and other commercial term loan charge-offs totaling $30.3 million, which includes partial charge-offs from owner-occupied and single-tenant property loans. The remaining charge-offs of approximately $9 million consist of consumer, international, and SBA loans as well as commercial lines of credit. For the full year 2009, charge-offs, net of recoveries, were $122.6 million compared to $46.0 million in 2008.

At December 31, 2009, the allowance for loan losses was $145.0 million, or 5.14 percent of total gross loans (66.19 percent of total non-performing loans), compared to $71.0 million, or 2.11 percent of total gross loans (58.23 percent of total non-performing loans), at December 31, 2008. At September 30, 2009, the allowance for loan losses was $124.8 million, or 4.19 percent of total gross loans (71.53 percent of total non-performing loans). The increase in the allowance for loan losses was mainly due to an increase in quantitative reserves to $90.1 million from $61.1 million at September 30, 2009. The increase in the quantitative allowance was partially offset by a decrease in impaired reserves to $23.1 million from $36.7 million at September 30, 2009 as a result of increased charge-offs. Qualitative allowance slightly increased to $31.6 million from $26.6 million at the end of the third quarter.

Delinquent loans were $186.3 million (6.60 percent of total gross loans) at December 31, 2009, compared to $151.0 million (5.07 percent of total gross loans) at September 30, 2009, and $128.5 million (3.82 percent of total gross loans) at December 31, 2008. Contributing to the increase in delinquent loans were an increase in delinquencies of owner-occupied business property loans as well as an increase in delinquencies of SBA loans. Delinquencies from these two loan categories increased by approximately $18.0 million and $13.5 million, respectively, quarter-over-quarter.

Non-performing loans ("NPL") at December 31, 2009 were $219.1 million (7.77 percent of total gross loans), compared with $174.4 million at September 30, 2009 (5.85 percent of total gross loans), and $121.9 million (3.62 percent of total gross loans) at December 31, 2008. The majority of the quarter-over-quarter increase in non-performing loans is attributable to an increase of approximately $20.7 million in NPLs from income-producing commercial property loans, and an increase of approximately $17.8 million in NPLs from owner-occupied business property loans. Non-performing SBA loans also increased by approximately $7.5 million compared to the prior quarter. Non-performing loans at December 31, 2009 consisted of 5.7 percent construction loans, 46.9 percent commercial and industrial ("C&I") loans including owner/user occupied business property loans, 26.9 percent CRE loans, 16.3 percent SBA loans, 3.0 percent consumer loans, and the remaining 1.2 percent consisting of commercial lines of credit and international loans. Of the total NPL of $219.1 million, $74.0 million, or 33.8 percent, is current at December 31, 2009. Of the total NPL of $174.4 million, $51.9 million, or 29.8%, was current at September 30, 2009. Of the current NPL of $74.0 million, $35.7 million was moved to non-accrual status from accrual status due to shortfalls in collateral with negative cash flow; and of the $35.7 million that moved to non-accrual status, $7.9 million was restructured and identified as troubled debt restructured loans.

As of December 31, 2009, total non-performing assets of $245.4 million included other real estate owned assets ("OREO") of $26.3 million compared with total non-performing assets of $201.6 million with OREO of $27.1 million at September 30, 2009, and total non-performing assets of $122.7 million with OREO of $823,000 at December 31, 2008.

The aggregate net OREO balance has shown a decreasing trend since the second quarter of 2009. The net balance decreased from $34.0 million at June 30, 2009 to $27.1 million at September 30, 2009. The balance further decreased to $26.3 million at December 31, 2009.

Capital Adequacy

The Bank's capital ratios exceed levels defined as "adequately capitalized" by our regulators. At December 31, 2009, the Bank's Tier 1 Leverage, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio were 6.69 percent, 7.77 percent, and 9.07 percent, respectively, compared to 7.05 percent, 8.40 percent and 9.69 percent, respectively, at September 30, 2009. The Bank's ratio of tangible shareholders' equity to total tangible assets for the fourth quarter was 7.13 percent compared to 7.57 percent at September 30, 2009.
