Hanmi Financial Corporation Reports Net Income of $2.9 Million for First Quarter of 2008

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Hanmi Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:HAFC), the holding company for Hanmi Bank, reported that for the three months ended March 31, 2008, it earned net income of $2.9 million, compared to a net loss of $100.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2007 and net income of $13.0 million for the comparable period a year ago. Earnings per share were $0.06 (diluted), compared to $0.26 (diluted) for the same period in 2007.

"Our first-quarter results are indicative of an overall economic environment that, by most measures, has changed little in the last three months," said Chung Hoon Youk, Chief Credit Officer and Interim Chief Executive Officer. "With that in mind, the single biggest factor affecting net income was a $17.8 million provision for credit losses. The provision -- although lower than the prior quarter's $20.7 million -- reflects a persistently soft economy that is affecting some of our borrowers' ability to honor their commitments.

"Contributing to the disappointing bottom-line performance was a compression in net interest margin -- to 3.73 percent from 4.06 percent in the prior quarter -- that continues to be driven by two factors in particular: intense competition among Korean-American banks, particularly in the pricing of deposits; and the Federal Reserve Bank's further 200-basis-point cut in short-term interest rates during the quarter. Despite growing concerns about inflation, our outlook for the year remains cautious and does not assume any near-term tightening on the part of the Fed; that being the case, and given our balance sheet composition," concluded Mr. Youk, "we expect that historically low short-term rates will continue to put pressure on margins."

BALANCE SHEET SUMMARY

In the first quarter of 2008, changes in our balance sheet growth were moderate. Total assets decreased by $42.7 million, or 1.1 percent, to $3.94 billion at March 31, 2008, compared to $3.98 billion at December 31, 2007. Gross loans increased by $19.3 million, or 0.6 percent, to $3.30 billion at March 31, 2008, compared to $3.28 billion at December 31, 2007. Total deposits increased by $26.1 million, or 0.9 percent, to $3.03 billion at March 31, 2008, compared to $3.00 billion at December 31, 2007. FHLB advances and other borrowings decreased by $71.6 million, or 14.7 percent, to $415.6 million at March 31, 2008, compared to $487.2 million at December 31, 2007.

NET INTEREST INCOME AND NET INTEREST MARGIN

Net interest income was $34.2 million for the first quarter of 2008, compared to $37.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2007 and $38.0 million for the first quarter of 2007. The decrease in net interest income was mainly caused by compression in the net interest margin. Net interest margin for the first quarter of 2008 was 3.73 percent, compared to 4.06 percent for the fourth quarter of 2007 and 4.59 percent for the first quarter of 2007. Net interest margin has decreased due to the Federal Reserve Bank lowering short-term interest rates and intense competition for loans and deposits. The net reversal of $1.2 million of accrued interest on loans placed on non-accrual status further compressed our margin during the first quarter of 2008.

Average interest-earning assets increased by $20.2 million, or 0.6 percent, to $3.69 billion for the first quarter of 2008, compared to $3.67 billion for the fourth quarter of 2007, and increased by $339.4 million, or 10.1 percent, compared to $3.35 billion for the first quarter of 2007. Average gross loans increased by $18.9 million, or 0.6 percent, to $3.30 billion for the first quarter of 2008, compared to $3.28 billion for the fourth quarter of 2007, and increased by $420.5 million, or 14.6 percent, compared to $2.88 billion for the first quarter of 2007.

The yield on average interest-earning assets was 7.08 percent for the first quarter of 2008, a decrease of 69 basis points compared to 7.77 percent for the fourth quarter of 2007, and a decrease of 115 basis points compared to 8.23 percent for the first quarter of 2007. The yield on the loan portfolio was 7.38 percent for the first quarter of 2008, a decrease of 77 basis points compared to 8.15 percent for the fourth quarter of 2007, and a decrease of 142 basis points compared to 8.80 percent for the first quarter of 2007.

Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $51.4 million, or 1.8 percent, to $2.90 billion for the first quarter of 2008, compared to $2.85 billion for the fourth quarter of 2007, and increased by $409.8 million, or 16.5 percent, compared to $2.49 billion for the first quarter of 2007. Average interest-bearing deposits decreased by $5.2 million, or 0.2 percent, to $2.34 billion for the first quarter of 2008, compared to $2.35 billion for the fourth quarter of 2007, and increased by $108.2 million, or 4.8 percent, compared to $2.24 billion for the first quarter of 2007. Average borrowings increased by $56.6 million, or 11.4 percent, to $553.1 million for the first quarter of 2008, compared to $496.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2007, and increased by $301.5 million, or 119.9 percent, compared to $251.6 billion for the first quarter of 2007.

The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities was 4.27 percent for the first quarter of 2008, a decrease of 51 basis points compared to 4.78 percent for the fourth quarter of 2007, and a decrease of 62 basis points compared to 4.89 percent for the first quarter of 2007. The cost of average interest-bearing deposits was 4.26 percent for the first quarter of 2008, a decrease of 39 basis points compared to 4.65 percent for the fourth quarter of 2007, and a decrease of 49 basis points compared to 4.75 percent for the first quarter of 2007. The cost of average borrowings was 4.31 percent for the first quarter of 2008, a decrease of 108 basis points compared to 5.39 percent for the fourth quarter of 2007, and a decrease of 183 basis points compared to 6.14 percent for the first quarter of 2007.

ASSET QUALITY

Starting in the fourth quarter of 2007, the Bank expanded its portfolio monitoring activities in an attempt to identify problematic loans. Given the deteriorating economy in which the Bank's borrowers operate, and in light of the unusually high levels of loan delinquencies and defaults, we believe that early detection is a key factor in lowering the financial impact on the Bank.

Net charge-offs were $7.3 million and $11.6 million for the first quarter of 2008 and the fourth quarter of 2007, respectively, significantly higher than $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2007. Non-performing loans were $88.7 million at March 31, 2008, compared to $54.8 million at December 31, 2007 and $19.5 million at March 31, 2007. The majority of the $33.9 million increase during the first quarter of 2008 was caused by one construction loan whose balance was approximately $28.0 million. Non-performing loans as a percentage of gross loans increased to 2.68 percent at March 31, 2008, compared to 1.66 percent at December 31, 2007 and 0.67 percent at March 31, 2007. Delinquent loans increased to $105.8 million at March 31, 2008, compared to $45.1 million at December 31, 2007 and $37.3 million at March 31, 2007.

As our borrowers are negatively affected by the downward economy, the provision for credit losses has risen to historically high levels -- $20.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, and $17.8 million in the first quarter of 2008, compared with $6.1 million for the first quarter of 2007.

The provision for credit losses, net of net charge-offs, increased the allowance for loan losses to $53.0 million, or 1.60 percent, of the gross loan portfolio, at March 31, 2008, compared to 1.33 percent and 1.08 percent at December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2007, respectively. We also have an allowance for off-balance sheet exposure, primarily unfunded loan commitments, of $2.9 million (recorded in other liabilities). As of March 31, 2008, the allowance for loan losses was 59.7 percent of non-performing loans, compared to 80.1 percent at December 31, 2007 and 161.6 percent at March 31, 2007. Based on management's evaluation and analysis of portfolio credit quality and prevailing economic conditions, we believe these reserves are adequate for losses inherent in the loan portfolio and off-balance sheet exposure at March 31, 2008.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income was $9.8 million for the first quarter of 2008, compared to $9.8 million and $10.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2007 and the first quarter of 2007, respectively. Overall increase in various fee income sources including gain on sales of securities of $618,000 for the first quarter of 2008 was offset by the decrease in gain on sales of loans. The gain on sales of loans decreased to $213,000 for the first quarter of 2008, compared to $1.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2007 and $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2007. The gains in the prior quarters were relatively high since they included $1.2 million of sales gain on unguaranteed SBA loans sold in the fourth quarter of 2007 and $867,000 sales gain on SBA loans originated prior to 2007 and sold in the first quarter of 2007 while there was no such sales in the first quarter of 2008.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSES

Non-interest expenses decreased by $104.6 million, or 82.9 percent, to $21.6 million for the first quarter of 2008, compared to $126.2 million, which included a $102.9 million goodwill impairment charges, for the fourth quarter of 2007. As compared with $21.0 million for the first quarter of 2007, our non-interest expenses in the first quarter of 2008 increased by $619,000, or 3.0 percent, due mainly to the additional professional fees incurred in 2008 for credit, legal and valuation services.

The efficiency ratio (non-interest expenses divided by the sum of net interest income before provision for credit losses and non-interest income) for the first quarter of 2008 was 49.11 percent, compared to 266.31 percent (49.22 percent excluding the goodwill impairment charge) for the fourth quarter of 2007 and 43.74 percent for the first quarter of 2007.

CAPITAL

As of January 1, 2008, the beginning balance of retained earnings was adjusted downward by $2.2 million for the recognition of a liability, which was related to postretirement benefits covered by an endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangement, upon the adoption of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No 06-04. In addition, we corrected the prior period financial statements for immaterial errors related to interest expense on deposits totaling $989,000. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004, net income was adjusted downward by $428,000, $299,000, $242,000 and $20,000, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2007, net income was adjusted downward by $57,000 and $63,000, respectively.

Our capital exceeds the levels defined as "well capitalized" by our regulators. Hanmi Bank's capital ratios were as follows:
