Hanmi Financial Corporation Reports Improving
Third Quarter 2010 Financial Results
LOS ANGELES — October 28, 2010 — Hanmi Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: HAFC), the holding company for Hanmi Bank, today reported a substantial decline in overall net loss for the third quarter of 2010 as compared to both the immediately preceding and year ago quarters. For the third quarter of 2010, net loss fell to $14.6 million, or $0.12 per share, compared to a second quarter loss of $29.3 million, or $0.57 per share, and a loss of $59.7 million, or $1.26 per share, in the third quarter a year ago. For the first nine months of 2010, net loss totaled $93.3 million, or $1.24 per share, compared to $86.4 million, or $1.86 per share in the first nine months of 2009.
“The strong support of our shareholders, as well as the encouraging demand from the capital market, allowed us to raise gross proceeds of $120 million in new capital at the beginning of the quarter. As a result, the Bank has met the threshold for being considered ‘well-capitalized’ for regulatory purposes at September 30, 2010,” said Jay S. Yoo, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Third Quarter 2010 Highlights
    Hanmi strengthened its capital ratios with the successful sale of $120 million of common stock at a purchase price of $1.20 per share, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $116.3 million. Hanmi injected $110 million to the Bank which enhanced the Bank’s Total Risk Based Capital Ratio to 11.61% as compared with 7.35% in the immediate prior quarter and 9.69% a year ago. The Bank’s tangible common equity to tangible assets at quarter end was 8.37%, up from 7.55% a year earlier.
 
    Non-performing loans fell to $194.7 million, or 8.13% of gross loans, from $242.1 million or 9.67% of gross loans in the second quarter and up from $174.4 million, or 5.85% a year ago. The coverage ratio of the allowance to non-performing loans increased to 90.41% at September 30, 2010, compared to 72.96% at the prior quarter-end and 71.53% at the end of the third quarter a year ago.
 
    During the first nine months of 2010, the successful deleveraging of the balance sheet reduced total assets by 6% or $194 million to $2.97 billion, with gross loans down 15%.
 
    The funds raised in the capital offering and sales of loans provided sufficient liquidity with $608 million in cash and securities as of September 30, 2010.
 
    Although slightly reduced from the prior quarter’s 3.56%, the net interest margin (NIM) significantly improved to 3.49% in the third quarter as compared with 3.00% in the third quarter a year ago. Year-to-date NIM increased 93 basis points to 3.58% from 2.65% in the first nine months of 2009.
Successful Capital Raise
As previously announced, Hanmi successfully raised gross proceeds of $120 million of capital with approximately $47 million in its rights offering and $73 million in the best efforts public offering. Of the $116.3 million in net proceeds, $110.0 million was down-streamed from the holding company to the Bank. “With our improved capital position as compared to the immediately preceding quarter, we believe we are now substantially in compliance with our regulatory orders, and are working to finalize our strategic plan and other compliance efforts by the year end,” Mr. Yoo stated.
Asset Quality
At September 30, 2010, the allowance for loan losses was $176.1 million, or 7.35% of gross loans, compared to $176.7 million, or 7.05% of gross loans, at June 30, 2010, and $124.8 million, or 4.19% of gross loans a year ago. Hanmi’s loan loss allowance to non-performing loans ratio significantly increased to 90.41% from 71.53% a year ago. Third quarter charge-offs, net of recoveries, were down to $21.3 million compared to $38.9 million in the second quarter and $29.9 million in the third quarter of 2009.
Non-performing loans (NPLs) declined 20% to $194.7 million at September 30, 2010 from $242.1 million at June 30, 2010, and up 12% from $174.4 million at September 30, 2009. Of the total $194.7 million NPLs, $33.4 million, or 17.2%, were

current on payments and are supported by underlying collateral or have been made to borrowers with additional assets to support their loans. Approximately 94.7% of the total NPLs were impaired with a $16.1 million impairment reserve for those loans. Sales of impaired loans also reduced non-performing assets with 12 loan sales generating $24.7 million in net proceeds in the third quarter. Year-to-date loan sales have generated $114.6 million in net proceeds on the sale of 58 loans. Sales of other real estate owned (OREO) continued during the third quarter, with four properties sold for the net proceed of $2.5 million, resulting in a $235,000 net loss. Year-to-date OREO sales have generated $8.8 million in net proceeds on the sale of 13 properties, resulting in an $81,000 net loss. OREO, real estate acquired through foreclosure, totaled $20.6 million at September 30, 2010, down from $24.1 million at June 30, 2010 and also down from $27.1 million a year ago. “We have been aggressive in selling loans prior to foreclosure, which partially accounts for the reduction of OREO,” said Mr. Yoo.

The proactive approach to the problematic credits this year reduced delinquent loans on accrual status to $23.9 million, or 1.0% of gross loans at September 30, 2010, from $28.5 million, or 1.0% of gross loans at September 30, 2009. Quarter over quarter, the delinquent loans on accrual status increased from $21.7 million at June 30, 2010 due to the addition of a single construction loan in the amount of $8.7 million. However, delinquency of accrual loans decreased for all other loan categories. The following table shows delinquent loans on accrual status by loan category:

Balance Sheet
“During the past two years, we have employed a strategy to deleverage our balance sheet to reduce portfolio risk and to respond to the economic downturn that negatively impacted our capital levels. With the new capital we have already raised this year, together with the new capital that we expect from the Woori transaction, we plan to move from a downsizing mode into moderately expanding our organization,” said Mr. Yoo. Total assets increased slightly at the end of the third quarter to $2.97 billion, from $2.91 billion at June 30, 2010, and down 14% from $3.46 billion at September 30, 2009.

Gross loans, net of deferred loan fees, were $2.39 billion at September 30, 2010, down 4% from $2.50 billion at June 30, 2010, and down 20% from $2.98 billion at September 30, 2009.
“We continue to build our core deposits and reduce our reliance on higher-cost certificates of deposits during the third quarter of 2010,” stated Brian Cho, EVP & Chief Financial Officer. “We have reduced our reliance on whole sale funding by eliminating broker deposits from the deposit mix. Federal Home Loan Bank advances are also down 4% from a year ago to $153.7 million.” Total deposits decreased 16% year-over-year and declined 2% from the prior quarter. Total deposits were $2.53 billion at September 30, 2010, compared to $2.58 billion at June 30, 2010, and $2.99 billion at September 30, 2009.
Results of Operations
Net interest income, before the provision for credit losses, totaled $26.3 million for the third quarter of 2010 which was down slightly from net interest income of $26.5 million in the third quarter a year ago. Higher cash and cash equivalent balances as well as increases in investment securities generated lower yields on assets, but the impact was offset by the decline in cost of funds associated with replacing high-cost time deposits with low-cost deposits. For the first nine months of 2010, net interest income before provision for credit losses totaled $79.9 million compared to $72.8 million in the first nine months of 2009.
Average gross loans decreased 20.2% to $2.46 billion for the third quarter of 2010 from $3.08 billion for the same period of 2009 and declined 19.3% to $2.61 billion for the nine months of 2010 from $3.24 billion for the same period of 2009. Average investment securities increased 7.0% to $223.7 million for the third quarter of 2010 from $209.0 million for the third quarter of 2009 and decreased 10.9% to $169.6 million for the first nine months of 2010 from $190.2 million for the same period of 2009. “The decreases in average gross loans were the direct result of our balance sheet deleveraging strategy” said Cho. Consistent with this strategy, average deposits also decreased 17.5% to $2.56 billion for the third quarter of 2010 from $3.10 billion for the same period in 2009 and declined 17.7% to $2.61 billion for the nine months of 2010 from $3.17 billion for the same period of 2009.
The average yield on the loan portfolio decreased slightly by 6 basis points to 5.44% in the third quarter of 2010, compared to the third quarter a year ago and decreased 11 basis points to 5.37% for the first nine months of 2010 from 5.48% for the same period of 2009. For the first nine months of 2010, the reversal of previously recorded interest income due to the additional non-accrual loans was $2.9 million ($0.3 million in the third quarter and $2.6 million in the first half of the year), resulting in a negative impact on NIM by 13 basis points. The cost of average interest-bearing deposits in the third quarter was 1.65%, down 105 basis points from the third quarter of 2009 and year-to-date it was 1.75%, down 143 basis points from a year ago. As a result, Hanmi’s net interest margin improved 49 basis points to 3.49% in the third quarter of 2010 compared to 3.00% in the third quarter of 2009 and improved 93 basis points to 3.58% for the first nine months of 2010 from 2.65% for the same period of 2009.
As a result of the decrease of charge-offs and non-performing loans, the provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2010 decreased to $22.0 million, compared to $49.5 million in the third quarter a year ago. For the first nine months of 2010, the provision for credit losses totaled $117.5 million down from $119.4 million in the first nine months of 2009.
Total non-interest income in the third quarter of 2010 was $6.5 million compared to $8.2 million in the third quarter of 2009. The decrease in non-interest income is primarily attributable to decreases in service charges on deposit accounts and a decrease in net gain on sales of loans. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased by $833,000 to $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2010 from $4.3 million for the same period of 2009, primarily due to a decrease of $751,000 in NSF charges and a decrease in account analysis fees. Net gain on sale of loans decreased by $635,000 for the third quarter of 2010, compared to the same period in 2009. “The gain on sale of loans was substantial during the third quarter of 2009 when we sold accumulated inventory upon the recovery of the SBA secondary market,” Cho noted. For the first nine months of 2010, non-interest income was $20.1 million, a decrease of $4.1 million, or 17.0%, from $24.3 million for the same period in 2009. The decrease was due primarily to a $2.3 million decrease in service charges on deposit accounts associated with the slowed business activities in the depressed economy and a $1.1 million decrease in net gain on sales of investment securities.
Total non-interest expense increased $1.2 million to $24.9 million for the third quarter of 2010, up from $23.7 million in the third quarter a year ago. The overall increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to an $879,000 impairment charge on equity securities, acquired prior to 2004 for Community Reinvestment Act purposes, upon recapitalization of the issuer of such equity securities, an $860,000 compensation expense for the preannounced retention plan payable in November 2010, and a $423,000 increase in directors and officers liability insurance premium driven by the change in risk

categories of the Bank. The increase was partially offset by decreases in OREO related expenses and professional fees. Year-to-date non-interest expense increased by $8.2 million to $75.9 million, up 12% from $67.6 million in the first nine months of 2009, primarily due to a higher valuation provision for OREO properties and FDIC insurance premium in addition to the aforementioned expenses.
