Hanmi Financial Corporation Reports Third-Quarter 2009 Financial Results and Formalizes Agreement with Regulators

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Hanmi Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: HAFC) ("we," "our" or "Hanmi"), the holding company for Hanmi Bank (the "Bank"), reported a third-quarter net loss of $59.7 million, or ($1.26) per share, compared to net income of $4.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2008. During the third quarter, we incurred tax charges of $38.2 million related to a valuation allowance of deferred tax assets. Excluding this charge, the net loss would have been $21.5 million for the third quarter of 2009, primarily driven by $49.5 million in credit loss provisions.

Hanmi also announced today that Hanmi and the Bank have entered into a Written Agreement (the "Written Agreement") with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (the "FRB"), effective as of November 2, 2009. In addition, the board of directors of the Bank has consented to the issuance of a Final Order (the "Final Order") by the California Department of Financial Institutions (the "DFI"), effective as of November 2, 2009. The Written Agreement and the Final Order provide for certain actions to be taken in cooperation with the regulatory authorities and are intended to address various matters including issues related to capital, liquidity and asset quality.

Jay S. Yoo, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "In the continuing weakness of the credit markets, the third-quarter provision for loan losses was again a record high, leading to disappointing operating results. However, we have continued our business strategies in the third quarter and achieved meaningful improvements in our core banking foundation. The balance sheet deleveraging strategy changed our liability profile to core-deposit based and substantially expanded our net interest margin. Various asset quality management programs, as well as higher loan charge-offs and transfers to other real estate owned, at last reduced delinquent loans and we also took a step forward in our capital raising efforts by receiving a $6.95 million capital infusion from Leading Investment & Securities Co. as previously announced. We are currently in active negotiations with certain Korean institutional investors relating to a larger capital infusion sufficient for Hanmi to weather this credit environment."

Regulatory Agreements

The Final Order and Written Agreement require the Bank to prepare and submit written plans to the DFI and the FRB that address the following items: (i) strengthening board oversight of the management and operation of the Bank; (ii) strengthening credit risk management practices; (iii) improving credit administration policies and procedures; (iv) improving the Bank's position with respect to problem assets; (v) improving the capital position of the Bank and, with respect to the Written Agreement, of Hanmi; (vi) maintaining adequate reserves for loan and lease losses; (vii) improving the Bank's earnings through a strategic plan and a budget for 2010; (viii) improving the Bank's liquidity position and funds management practices; and (ix) contingency funding. In addition, the Order and the Agreement place restrictions on the Bank's lending to borrowers who have adversely classified loans with the Bank and require the Bank to charge off or collect certain problem loans. The Final Order and Written Agreement also require the Bank to review and revise its allowance for loan and lease losses consistent with relevant supervisory guidance. The Bank is also prohibited from paying dividends, incurring, increasing or guaranteeing any debt, or making certain changes to its business without prior approval from the DFI, and the Bank and Hanmi must obtain prior approval from the FRB prior to declaring and paying dividends.

Under the Final Order, the Bank is also required to increase its capital and maintain certain regulatory capital ratios prior to certain dates specified therein. By July 31, 2010, the Bank will be required to increase its contributed equity capital by not less than an additional $100 million. The Bank will be required to maintain a ratio of tangible shareholders' equity to total tangible assets as follows:


     Date                               Ratio of Tangible Shareholders'
                                        Equity to Total Tangible Assets

     By December 31, 2009               Not Less Than 7.0 Percent

     By July 31, 2010                   Not Less Than 9.0 Percent

     From December 31, 2010 and         Not Less Than 9.5 Percent
     Until the Order is Terminated



If the Bank is not able to maintain the capital ratios identified in the Final Order, it must notify the DFI, and Hanmi and the Bank are required to notify the FRB if their respective capital ratios fall below those set forth in the capital plan to be submitted to the FRB.

Results of Operations

The net interest income before provision for credit losses increased by $3.4 million, or 14.6 percent, to $26.5 million in the third quarter of 2009 compared to $23.1 million in the prior quarter. Such increase in net interest income reflects the effects of our core deposit campaign that was launched in the prior quarter. Most of our high-cost six-month time deposits that were offered from December 2008 through March 2009 and matured in the third quarter of 2009 have been rolled over into lower-cost deposits and the average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased by 67 basis points to 2.70 percent from 3.37 percent in the second quarter of 2009. On the other hand, our stringent lending policy allowed us to increase our loan pricing and to improve the average yield on the loan portfolio to 5.50 percent in the third quarter of 2009 compared to 5.46 percent in the prior quarter. The combined result was the increase of net interest margin by 52 basis points to 3.00 percent in the third quarter compared to 2.48 percent in the second quarter.

The provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2009 increased by $25.6 million to $49.5 million compared to $23.9 million in the prior quarter, due mainly to the $16.4 million additional provision provided to the impaired loans that was part of our continuing efforts to address the further deteriorating commercial real estate market. For the first nine months of 2009, the provision for credit losses more than doubled to $119.4 million compared to $50.2 million for the prior year's same period, reflecting our effort to prepare for the uncertain credit risk in this weak credit market.

Total non-interest income in the third quarter of 2009 was $8.2 million compared to $6.7 million in the prior quarter and $5.3 million in the third quarter of 2008. The sequential increase in non-interest income reflects an $864,000 net gain on sales of SBA loans. The second quarter income was also reduced by an impairment loss of $909,000 on a low income housing investment

Total non-interest expense in the third quarter of 2009 was $23.7 million compared to $24.7 million in the second quarter, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 4.1 percent, and an increase of $1.5 million, or 6.5 percent, compared to $22.2 million in the third quarter of 2008. The decrease from the second quarter of 2009 was mainly caused by the reduction of deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments. Increased expenses in the second quarter reflect the one-time FDIC special assessment fees of $1.8 million. Reflecting a second-quarter out-of-court settlement fee of $850,000, third-quarter loan-related expenses declined by 84.2 percent to $192,000 from $1.2 million in the second quarter. Salaries and employee benefits, the biggest single contributor to total non-interest expense, was essentially unchanged at $8.6 million compared to $8.5 million in the prior quarter. We will continue to hold down all operating costs for the remainder of 2009; however, further cost control may be offset by regulatory-related expenses such as professional fees and potential FDIC assessments. We also expect that expenses to manage our asset quality in this stressed credit environment continue to be significant. In the third quarter, expenses in relation with other real estate owned ("OREO"), such as valuation expenses and maintenance costs, more than doubled to $3.4 million from the prior quarter's $1.5 million.

Due to increased net interest income before provision for credit losses and increased non-interest income, along with decreased non-interest expense, the efficiency ratio (non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income before provision for credit losses and non-interest income) sequentially improved to 68.2 percent compared to 82.9 percent in the second quarter of 2009.

Balance Sheet and Asset Quality

Total assets at September 30, 2009 decreased by $418.3 million, or 10.8 percent, to $3.46 billion from $3.88 billion at December 31, 2008, and decreased by $308.5 million, or 8.2 percent, from $3.77 billion at September 30, 2008, reflecting the Bank's ongoing strategy to deleverage the balance sheet.

With our ongoing stringent lending policy to carefully evaluate all maturing loans and selectively renew our loans based on quality, gross loans, net of deferred loan fees, decreased by $384.6 million, or 11.4 percent, to $2.98 billion as of September 30, 2009, compared to $3.36 billion at December 31, 2008, and decreased by $367.5 million, or 11.0 percent, compared to $3.35 billion at September 30, 2008.

The success of our core deposit campaign together with our deleveraging strategy substantially changed our liability profile in the third quarter by increasing our core deposits and decreasing the brokered deposits and borrowings.

Our total deposits decreased by $78.2 million, or 2.5 percent, to $2.99 billion at September 30, 2009, compared to $3.07 billion at December 31, 2008, and increased by $192.5 million, or 6.9 percent, compared to $2.80 billion at September 30, 2008. Such decrease was carefully designed under our deleveraging strategy which allows some run off of volatile and expensive time deposits. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, time deposits decreased by $472.1 million and our non-time deposits increased by $393.9 million. For the same nine month period, FHLB advances also decreased by $261.4 million, or 61.9 percent, to $160.8 million at September 30, 2009, compared to $422.2 million at December 31, 2008, At September 30, 2009, brokered deposits, excluding CDARS, were $365.7 million, a decrease of $508.4 million, or 58.2 percent, compared to $874.1 million at December 31, 2008.

Third quarter charge-offs, net of recoveries, were $29.9 million compared to $23.6 million in the prior quarter and $11.8 million in the third quarter of 2008. Out of the third quarter charge-offs, $22.8 million was made from unsecured commercial and industrial ("C&I") loans, including one large loan in the amount of $7.0 million to an international trading company. Also included were some commercial real estate and business property loans due to decreases in hard collateral values, resulted in partial charge-offs of $4.0 million, with the remaining balance of $3.5 million consisting of consumer and SBA loans.

Delinquent loans were $151.0 million (5.07 percent of total gross loans) at September 30, 2009, compared to $178.7 million (5.66 percent of total gross loans) at June 30, 2009, $164.4 million (4.95 percent of total gross loans) at March 31, 2009, $128.5 million (3.82 percent of total gross loans) at December 31, 2008, and $102.9 million (3.08 percent of total gross loans) at September 30, 2008. The decrease in delinquencies from the prior quarter is attributable to diligent collection efforts, which involve proactive negotiations with borrowers in financial difficulty, often leading to loan modifications or charge-offs.

Non-performing loans ("NPL") at September 30, 2009 were $174.4 million (5.85 percent of total gross loans), compared to $167.3 million (5.3 percent of total gross loans) at June 30, 2009, $156.3 million (4.71 percent of total gross loans) at March 31, 2009, $121.9 million (3.62 percent of total gross loans) at December 31, 2008, and $111.9 million (3.34 percent of total gross loans) at September 30, 2008. The breakdown in third quarter 2009 NPLs was as follows: 10.4 percent were construction loans, 47.6 percent were C&I loans including owner/user business property loans, 30.3 percent were commercial real estate ("CRE") loans, 9.5 percent were SBA loans, and 2.2 percent were consumer loans.

As of September 30, 2009, total non-performing assets of $201.6 million included OREO of $27.1 million compared to total non-performing assets of $201.3 million with OREO of $34.0 million at June 30, 2009, $157.5 million with OREO of $1.2 million at March 31, 2009, and $122.7 million with OREO of $823,000 at December 31, 2008. At September 30, 2008, total non-performing assets were $114.9 million, which included OREO of $3.0 million. At September 30, 2009, OREO was $6.9 million lower, when compared to the prior quarter, mainly due to the sale of a golf course north of San Diego.

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), 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, and $63.9 million, or 1.91 percent of total gross loans (57.16 percent of total non-performing loans), at September 30, 2008.

Capital Adequacy

On September 4, 2009, Hanmi received an investment of $6.95 million from Leading Investment & Securities Co. Ltd. IWL Partners LLC, an affiliate of Leading, is additionally preparing a separate definitive agreement that would result in a larger equity capital infusion. If completed as expected, the Korean investment will augment Hanmi's capital reserves and, in conjunction with our program to deleverage the balance sheet, will enhance our ability to weather the current recession and emerge well-positioned to take advantage of opportunities as the economy recovers.

At September 30, 2009, the Bank's Tier 1 Leverage, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital, and Total Risk-Based Capital ratios were 7.05 percent, 8.40 percent and 9.69 percent, respectively, compared to 8.85 percent, 9.44 percent, and 10.71 percent, respectively, at December 31, 2008. The Bank's ratio of tangible shareholders' equity to total tangible assets was 7.57 percent at September 30, 2009.

Deferred Tax Assets

During the third quarter of 2009, Hanmi established a valuation allowance of $44.9 million against its existing net deferred tax assets. The Company's primary deferred tax assets relate to its allowance for loan losses and impairment charges. Under generally accepted accounting principles, a valuation allowance must be recognized if it is "more likely than not" that such deferred tax assets will not be realized. Appropriate consideration is given to all available evidence (both positive and negative) related to the realization of the deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis.

In conducting its regular quarterly evaluation, Hanmi made a determination to establish a valuation allowance at September 30, 2009 based primarily upon the existence of a three-year cumulative loss derived by combining the pre-tax income (loss) reported during the two most recent annual periods with management's current projected results for the year ending 2009. This three-year cumulative loss position is primarily attributable to significant provisions for credit losses incurred during 2009. Although the Company's current financial forecasts indicate that sufficient taxable income will be generated in the future to ultimately realize the existing deferred tax benefits, those forecasts were not considered to constitute sufficient positive evidence to overcome the observable negative evidence associated with the three-year cumulative loss position determined at September 30, 2009. Although the creation of the valuation allowance will increase tax expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and similarly reduce tangible book value, it will not have an effect on Hanmi's cash flows. The remaining net deferred tax assets of $2.5 million will be reversed by NOL carryover during the 4th quarter of 2009.
