Hanmi Financial Corporation Reports Record Net Income of $65.6 Million for 2006

Fourth Quarter Earnings Increase 16.3 Percent to $17.3 Million

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Hanmi Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:HAFC), the holding company for Hanmi Bank, today reported net income for the three months ended December 31, 2006 of $17.3 million, an increase of 16.3 percent over net income of $14.9 million for the comparable period a year ago. Earnings per share were $0.35 (diluted), an increase of 16.7 percent compared to $0.30 (diluted) for the same period in 2005.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, net income was $65.6 million, an increase of 12.7 percent over net income of $58.2 million for 2005. Earnings per share were $1.33 (diluted), an increase of 13.7 percent compared to $1.17 (diluted) in 2005.

"Supported in part by good expense control and a growing loan portfolio, we are pleased to have completed another year of record income and record earnings per share," said Sung Won Sohn, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer. "These results were achieved despite a marketplace in which throughout the year we experienced intense competition on pricing of both loans and deposits -- an environment that is still with us in the first quarter of 2007."

"Modest fourth-quarter declines in both net interest income before provision for credit losses, to $38.8 million from $39.7 million in the third quarter, and in net interest margin, to 4.59 percent from 4.79 percent in the third quarter, point to the fact that the marketplace remains extremely competitive, notably in terms of cost of funds. For example, our cost of interest-bearing deposits in the fourth quarter was 4.85 percent, 12 basis points higher than in the preceding quarter and fully 119 basis points higher than in the fourth quarter of 2005. By comparison, the yield on the loan portfolio was 8.77 percent in the fourth quarter, 64 basis points higher than in the comparable period a year ago."

"Although we see some mitigation in the upward pressure on rates, we currently anticipate no substantial softening in the competition for loans and deposits, nor in the pressure it will continue to put on the operating results of Hanmi and its competitors," added Dr. Sohn. "Yet our business remains strong, and, as in the past, our focus will be on growing net interest income. To that end, our credit quality remains excellent, our efficiency ratio continues to improve, and our liquidity is such that we believe we can maintain the desired level of asset sensitivity while achieving further growth in the loan portfolio."

NET INTEREST INCOME BEFORE PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

Net interest income before provision for credit losses was $38.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2006, a decrease of $952,000, or 2.4 percent, compared to $39.7 million for the third quarter of 2006, and an increase of $2.4 million, or 6.5 percent, compared to $36.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2005.

The yield on the loan portfolio was 8.77 percent for the fourth quarter of 2006, a decrease of 12 basis points compared to 8.89 percent for the third quarter of 2006, and an increase of 64 basis points compared to 8.13 percent for the fourth quarter of 2005. The yield on investment securities was 4.46 percent for the fourth quarter of 2006, a decrease of 2 basis points compared to 4.48 percent for the third quarter of 2006, and an increase of 24 basis points compared to 4.22 percent for the fourth quarter of 2005. The yield on average interest-earning assets was 8.18 percent for the fourth quarter of 2006, a decrease of 11 basis points compared to 8.29 percent for the third quarter of 2006, and an increase of 75 basis points compared to 7.43 percent for the fourth quarter of 2005. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 4.85 percent for the fourth quarter of 2006, an increase of 12 basis points compared to 4.73 percent for the third quarter of 2006, and an increase of 119 basis points compared to 3.66 percent for the fourth quarter of 2005, as the Company continued to operate in a highly competitive deposit taking environment.

The year-over-year increase of $12.2 million in interest income was primarily due to: 1) an increase in the yield on average interest-earning assets, which increased from 7.43 percent to 8.18 percent, an increase of 75 basis points that provided an additional $4.8 million of interest income compared to the fourth quarter of 2005; and 2) an increase in average interest-earning assets, which increased from $3.04 billion to $3.35 billion, an increase of $311.1 million that provided an additional $7.4 million of interest income compared to the fourth quarter of 2005. The majority of this growth was funded by a $135.1 million, or 4.8 percent, increase in average deposits. Average borrowings also increased by $107.5 million, or 72.5 percent, compared to the fourth quarter of 2005. During 2006, the Company borrowed $130.0 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank for terms of 12 to 24 months to allow it to fund fixed-rate loans, but maintain the desired level of asset sensitivity.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The provision for credit losses represents the charge against current earnings that is determined by management, through a disciplined credit review process, to be the amount needed to maintain an allowance that is sufficient to absorb estimated probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The provision for credit losses was $1.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2006, compared to $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2006 and $1.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2005. The slight decrease in the provision for credit losses is attributable to the low historical loss experience associated with the migration analysis that Hanmi Bank employs in its credit review process.

As of December 31, 2006, non-performing loans as a percentage of the total loan portfolio were 0.50 percent, compared to 0.47 percent at September 30, 2006 and 0.41 percent at December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2006, the allowance for loan losses was 193.9 percent of non-performing loans, compared to 209.8 at September 30, 2006 and 246.4 percent at December 31, 2005, reflecting better collateral coverage for non-performing loans outstanding at December 31, 2006, compared to the prior periods.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income increased by $2.0 million, or 22.8 percent, to $10.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2006, compared to $8.8 million for the third quarter of 2006, and increased by $3.0 million, or 38.7 percent, compared to $7.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2005. The increase in non-interest income is primarily attributable to gain on sales of loans of $3.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2006, compared to $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2006 and $945,000 for the fourth quarter of 2005. Gains represented 7.0 percent, 4.3 percent and 4.6 percent of loan principal sold in the quarters ended December 31, 2006, September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The remaining non-interest income increased by $39,000, or 0.5 percent, to $7.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2006, and increased by $592,000, or 8.7 percent, compared to $6.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2005.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSES

Non-interest expenses increased by $153,000, or 0.8 percent, to $19.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2006, compared to $19.5 million for the third quarter of 2006, and increased by $1.1 million, or 5.9 percent, compared to $18.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2005. Salaries and employee benefits decreased by $54,000, or 0.5 percent, to $10.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2006, compared to $10.4 million for the third quarter of 2006. The decrease in salaries and employee benefits is primarily due to lower bonus accruals. Advertising and promotion expense increased by $210,000, or 31.6 percent, to $875,000, compared to $665,000 for the third quarter of 2006, due to additional seasonal promotional activities, and other operating expenses decreased by $235,000, or 7.9 percent, to $2.7 million, compared to $3.0 million for the third quarter of 2006.

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 fourth quarter of 2006 was 39.59 percent, compared to 40.14 percent for the third quarter of 2006 and 41.93 percent for the fourth quarter of 2005.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes was $40.6 million at a 38.2 percent effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $36.5 million at a 38.5 percent effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2005.

FINANCIAL POSITION

Total assets were $3.73 billion at December 31, 2006, an increase of $311.0 million, or 9.1 percent, compared to $3.41 billion at December 31, 2005, and a decrease of $14.6 million from the September 30, 2006 balance of $3.74 billion.

At December 31, 2006, net loans totaled $2.84 billion, an increase of $368.3 million, or 14.9 percent, from $2.47 billion at December 31, 2005. The increase in net loans was primarily attributable to increased loan production in 2006. Real estate loans increased by $67.2 million, or 6.9 percent, to $1.04 billion at December 31, 2006, compared to $974.2 million at December 31, 2005. Commercial and industrial loans grew by $294.9 million, or 20.6 percent, to $1.73 billion at December 31, 2006, compared to $1.43 billion at December 31, 2005.

The growth in total assets was funded by an increase in deposits of $118.6 million, up 4.2 percent to $2.94 billion at December 31, 2006, compared to $2.83 billion at December 31, 2005, and an increase in FHLB advances and other borrowings of $122.7 million, up 264.8 percent to $169.0 million at December 31, 2006, compared to $46.3 million at December 31, 2005. The increase in deposits included increases in time deposits of $100,000 or more of $221.4 million, up 19.1 percent to $1.38 billion, and in other time deposits of $17.7 million, up 6.4 percent to $295.5 million, partially offset by decreases in money market checking accounts of $87.9 million, down 16.7 percent to $438.3 million, in savings accounts of $22.3 million, down 18.4 percent to $99.3 million, and in noninterest-bearing demand deposits of $10.3 million, down 1.4 percent to $728.3 million.

At December 31, 2006, goodwill totaled $207.6 million, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 0.7 percent, from $209.1 million at December 31, 2005 due to a tax refund related to the acquisition of Pacific Union Bank.

ASSET QUALITY

Total non-performing assets, including loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing, non-accrual loans and other real estate owned ("OREO") assets, increased by $739,000, or 5.5 percent, to $14.2 million at December 31, 2006 from $13.5 million at September 30, 2006, and increased by $4.1 million, or 40.3 percent, from $10.1 million at December 31, 2005. Non-performing loans as a percentage of gross loans increased to 0.50 percent at December 31, 2006 from 0.47 percent at September 30, 2006 and 0.41 percent at December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2006, loans to borrowers in the wholesale trade, retail trade, and accommodation and food services industries made up 25.4 percent, 24.7 percent and 16.1 percent, respectively, of non-performing assets.

At December 31, 2006, non-accrual loans were $14.2 million, up $4.1 million, or 40.4 percent, from $10.1 million at December 31, 2005. There were no OREO assets at December 31, 2006 or December 31, 2005. At December 31, 2006, delinquent loans were $19.6 million, down $4.5 million from $24.1 million at September 30, 2006, and down $1.6 million from $21.2 million at December 31, 2005.

At December 31, 2006, the allowance for loan losses was $27.6 million, and represented management's best estimate of the amount needed to maintain an allowance that the Company believes should be sufficient to absorb estimated probable loan losses inherent in its loan portfolio. In addition, the Company maintained a liability for off-balance sheet exposure, primarily unfunded loan commitments, totaling $2.1 million at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. The allowance for loan losses represented 0.96 percent of gross loans at December 31, 2006, compared to 0.99 percent and 1.00 percent at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, the allowance for loan losses was 193.9 percent of non-performing loans, compared to 209.8 percent at September 30, 2006 and 246.4 percent at December 31, 2005.

PRIOR PERIOD RECLASSIFICATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS

Certain reclassifications were made to the prior periods' presentation to conform to the current period's presentation.
