LOS ANGELES, July 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hanmi Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: HAFC, or “Hanmi”), the parent company of Hanmi Bank (the “Bank”), today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2023.

Net income for the second quarter of 2023 was $20.6 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, compared with $22.0 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2023. Return on average assets and return on average equity for the second quarter of 2023 were 1.12% and 11.14%, respectively.

Net income for the first half of 2023 was $42.6 million, or $1.39 per diluted share, compared with $45.7 million, or $1.50 per diluted share, for the first half of 2022. For the first six months of 2023, return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.17% and 11.66%, respectively.

CEO Commentary

“Hanmi delivered solid results for the second quarter, reflecting our team’s steady execution of our relationship banking strategy during this period of rising interest rates and uncertain economic conditions,” said Bonnie Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hanmi Financial Corporation. “These results were supported by healthy deposit growth, disciplined expense management and strong credit administration. 

“We grew deposits by 1.9% with solid contributions from both new and existing customers, a testament to the success of our relationship banking model. Importantly, our Corporate Korea initiative contributed significantly to new deposit growth in the quarter. Hanmi is uniquely positioned to capture greater market penetration as Korean corporations continue to expand their U.S. operations.

“As expected, our loan production year-to-date has been impacted by lower demand due to escalating interest rates. That said, we are encouraged that our loan pipeline began to grow as we entered the third quarter. Even so, we will continue to take a selective and disciplined approach to lending in the current environment with a focus on attractively priced loans and high-quality borrowers who also have a deposit relationship with Hanmi.

“We are well-positioned to navigate the remainder of the year with a strong base of loyal customers, a growing pipeline of new opportunities, a healthy balance sheet and liquidity position, excellent credit quality and an outstanding and dedicated team.”

Results of Operations
Net interest income for the second quarter decreased $2.5 million to $55.4 million from $57.9 million for the first quarter of 2023, down 4.2%. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by an increase in interest-earning asset yields. The cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 52 basis points to 3.25% for the second quarter of 2023 from 2.73% for the first quarter of 2023. The increase was due to higher market interest rates and a shift in the composition of the portfolio to higher rate deposits. Average interest-bearing deposits were $3.97 billion for the second quarter compared with $3.79 billion for the first quarter. Average loans were $5.94 billion for the second quarter, consistent with the first quarter of 2023. The yield on average loans for the second quarter increased 13 basis points to 5.64% from 5.51% for the first quarter. Second quarter loan prepayment fees were $0.2 million compared with $0.4 million for the first quarter. Net interest margin (taxable-equivalent) for the second quarter was 3.11% compared with 3.28% for the first quarter.

Credit loss expense for the second quarter was negative $0.1 million and included a $0.5 million provision for loan losses and a $0.6 million recovery for off-balance sheet items. For the first quarter, credit loss expense was $2.1 million and included a $2.2 million provision for loan losses and a $0.1 million recovery for off-balance sheet items.

Noninterest income for the second quarter decreased $0.4 million to $7.9 million from $8.3 million for the first quarter. The decrease reflected $0.7 million lower gain on sale income of SBA loans, partially offset by a $0.2 million net increase in service charges and fee income. The volume of SBA loans sold in the second quarter declined to $19.9 million from $29.7 million for the first quarter due to the higher interest rate environment while trade premiums decreased to 7.75% for the second quarter from 7.85% for the first quarter.

Noninterest expense for the second quarter increased $1.5 million to $34.3 million from $32.8 million for the first quarter. The increase was primarily due to a $1.5 million increase in other operating expenses that included a $0.7 million increase in FDIC insurance assessment rates and reflected the absence of a $0.4 million first quarter recovery of a servicing asset valuation allowance and a $0.2 million recovery of other real estate owned and repossessed personal property expenses. All other expense categories were relatively consistent with the first quarter. The efficiency ratio for the second quarter increased to 54.11%, from 49.54% for the prior quarter due to the lower revenue and higher expenses.

Loans receivable, before the allowance for credit losses, were $5.97 billion at quarter-end, down slightly from March 31, 2023.

Commercial real estate loan production for the second quarter was $41.0 million. Commercial and industrial loan production was $36.3 million, SBA loan production was $30.9 million, equipment finance production was $50.9 million and residential mortgage loan production was $100.2 million.

Stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2023 was $668.6 million, compared with $662.2 million at March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to $20.6 million of second quarter net income net of $7.6 million of dividends paid. Offsetting this increase was a $5.6 million increase in unrealized after-tax losses on securities available for sale due to changes resulting from increases in intermediate-term interest rates during the second quarter. Also, Hanmi repurchased 100,000 shares during the second quarter at an average share price of $14.44, or $1.4 million.

Classified loans were $38.8 million at June 30, 2023, down from $47.3 million at the end of the prior quarter. The $8.5 million decrease was primarily driven by upgrades of $9.1 million and charge-offs and payoffs of $4.6 million, offset by new downgrades to classified of $5.2 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets Ratio

Tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio is supplemental financial information determined by a method other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure in the analysis of Hanmi’s capital strength. Tangible common equity represents stockholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets. Banking and financial institution regulators also exclude goodwill and other intangible assets from stockholders’ equity when assessing the capital adequacy of a financial institution. Management believes the presentation of this financial measure excluding the impact of these items provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the capital strength of Hanmi. This financial measure is not a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures.

The following table reconciles this non-GAAP financial measure to the GAAP financial measure for the periods indicated:
