HANMI FINANCIAL CORPORATION REPORTS RECORD
NET INCOME OF $17.6 MILLION FOR THIRD QUARTER OF 2006
EARNINGS PER SHARE INCREASE 20.0% TO $0.36
     LOS ANGELES — October 24, 2006 — Hanmi Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:HAFC), the holding company for Hanmi Bank, reported that for the three months ended September 30, 2006, it earned record net income of $17.6 million, an increase of 17.6 percent over net income of $15.0 million for the comparable period a year ago. Earnings per share were $0.36 (diluted), an increase of 20.0 percent compared to $0.30 (diluted) for the same period in 2005.
     For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, net income was $48.3 million, an increase of 11.5 percent over net income of $43.3 million for the comparable period a year ago. Earnings per share were $0.98 (diluted), an increase of 14.0 percent compared to $0.86 (diluted) for the same period in 2005.
     “Record quarterly net income of $17.6 million reflects the continuation of favorable trends we saw in the second quarter,” said Sung Won Sohn, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer. “Assets were a record $3.74 billion at September 30, 2006, up from $3.62 billion at June 30, 2006, an improvement that was accompanied by modest but steady growth in both loans and deposits; loans were a record $2.82 billion at September 30, 2006, compared to $2.76 billion at June 30, 2006, and deposits were a record $2.97 billion at September 30, 2006, compared to $2.90 billion at June 30, 2006. Noteworthy was a continuation of the shift in mix from real estate loans to commercial and industrial loans, which made up 61.0 percent of the portfolio at September 30, 2006 compared to 59.6 percent at June 30, 2006.”
     “I would also point to two other metrics in particular,” said Dr. Sohn. “Return on average shareholders’ equity, regarded by many as among the most important measures of financial performance in the banking industry, was 15.08 percent for the third quarter of 2006, compared to 14.22 percent for the second quarter of 2006 and 13.89 percent for the third quarter of 2005. And our third-quarter efficiency ratio was 40.14 percent compared to 41.59 percent in the second quarter and 38.34 percent a year ago.”
     “Margin compression remains pervasive throughout the industry, and despite record net income, Hanmi, like many of our competitors, has seen persistent pressure on margins during 2006,” concluded Dr. Sohn. “The good news, however, is that third-quarter net interest margin of 4.73 percent was only three basis points lower than in the second quarter. And even though we anticipate continuing margin pressures, we hope to hold the line on profitability in the fourth quarter.”
THIRD-QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
  Net interest income before provision for credit losses was $39.2 million for the third quarter of 2006, compared to $37.8 million for the second quarter of 2006 and $35.1 million for the third quarter of 2005.
  Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2006 was 4.73 percent, compared to 4.76 percent for the second quarter of 2006 and 4.78 percent for the third quarter of 2005.
  Return on average assets for the third quarter of 2006 was 1.90 percent, compared to 1.79 percent for the second quarter of 2006 and 1.80 percent for the third quarter of 2005.

  Non-performing assets increased $1.3 million, or 11.0 percent, from $12.1 million at June 30, 2006 to $13.5 million at September 30, 2006.
  The allowance for loan losses was 0.99 percent and 0.98 percent of the gross loan portfolio at September 30, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively.
  The efficiency ratio for the third quarter of 2006 was 40.14 percent compared to 41.59 percent for the second quarter of 2006 and 38.34 percent for the third quarter of 2005.
NET INTEREST INCOME BEFORE PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES
     Net interest income before provision for credit losses was $39.2 million for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of $1.4 million, or 3.8 percent, compared to $37.8 million for the second quarter of 2006, and an increase of $4.1 million, or 11.6 percent, compared to $35.1 million for the third quarter of 2005.
     The yield on the loan portfolio was 8.81 percent for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of 25 basis points compared to 8.56 percent for the second quarter of 2006, and an increase of 114 basis points compared to 7.67 percent for the third quarter of 2005. The yield on investment securities was 4.48 percent for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of eight basis points compared to 4.40 percent for the second quarter of 2006, and an increase of 46 basis points compared to 4.02 percent for the third quarter of 2005. The yield on average interest-earning assets was 8.22 percent for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of 24 basis points compared to 7.98 percent for the second quarter of 2006, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 4.73 percent for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of 36 basis points compared to 4.37 percent for the second quarter of 2006, as the Company continued to operate in a highly competitive deposit taking environment.
     The year-over-year increase of $16.2 million in interest income was primarily due to: 1) an increase in the yield on average interest-earning assets, which increased from 7.08 percent to 8.22 percent, an increase of 114 basis points that provided an additional $8.4 million of interest income compared to the third quarter of 2005; and 2) an increase in average interest-earning assets, which increased from $2.91 billion to $3.29 billion, an increase of $374.4 million that provided an additional $7.8 million of interest income compared to the third quarter of 2005. The majority of this growth was funded by a $277.3 million, or 10.5 percent, increase in average deposits. Average borrowings also increased by $56.6 million, or 55.3 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2005, but decreased by $7.1 million, or 4.3 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2006. During the quarter, the Company borrowed $90.0 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank for terms of 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 $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2006, compared to $900,000 for the second quarter of 2006 and $3.2 million for the third quarter of 2005. The increase in the provision for credit losses is attributable to the migration of loan classification in the criticized and classified loans and an increase in specific allocation for impaired loans. The increase in the provision for credit losses also is attributable to an increase in net charge-offs from $353,000 for the second quarter of 2006 to $656,000 in the third quarter of 2006.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
     Non-interest income increased by $407,000, or 4.6 percent, to $9.3 million for the third quarter of 2006, compared to $8.9 million for the second quarter of 2006, and by $122,000, or 1.3 percent, compared to $9.2 million for the third quarter of 2005. Gain on sales of loans was $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2006, compared to $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2006 and $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2005. Other non-interest income increased by $318,000, or 4.2 percent, to $7.9 million, compared to $7.6 million for the second quarter of 2006, and by $434,000, or 5.8 percent, compared to $7.5 million for the third quarter of 2005. The increase reflects increases in the value of derivatives, as well as increased service charges and trade finance fees.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSES
     Non-interest expenses increased by $57,000, or 0.3 percent, to $19.5 million for the third quarter of 2006, compared to $19.4 million for the second quarter of 2006. Salaries and employee benefits decreased by $334,000, or 3.1 percent, to $10.4 million for the third quarter of 2006, compared to $10.7 million for the second quarter of 2006. The decrease in salaries and employee benefits is primarily due to higher deferred loan origination costs in the third quarter of 2006. Advertising and promotion expense decreased by $146,000, or 18.0 percent, to $665,000, compared to $811,000 for the second quarter of 2006, and professional fees decreased by $102,000, or 20.7 percent, to $390,000, compared to $492,000 for the second 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 third quarter of 2006 was 40.14 percent, compared to 41.59 percent for the second quarter of 2006 and 38.34 percent for the third quarter of 2005.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
     The provision for income taxes was $29.6 million at a 38.0 percent effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $27.3 million at a 38.7 percent effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The Company recognized Enterprise Zone tax credits, which reduced its effective tax rate by 2.0 percent and 0.9 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, including 0.9 percent and 0.2 percent attributable to the true-up of prior year credits recognized in the third quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively.
FINANCIAL POSITION
     Total assets were $3.74 billion at September 30, 2006, an increase of $325.6 million, or 9.5 percent, compared to the December 31, 2005 balance of $3.41 billion, and an increase of $371.4 million, or 11.0 percent, over the September 30, 2005 balance of $3.37 billion.
     At September 30, 2006, net loans totaled $2.82 billion, an increase of $326.6 million, or 14.3 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 $39.9 million, or 4.1 percent, to $1.01 billion at September 30, 2006, compared to $974.2 million at December 31, 2005. Commercial and industrial loans grew by $308.0 million, or 21.5 percent, to $1.74 billion at September 30, 2006, compared to $1.43 billion at December 31, 2005.
     The growth in total assets was funded by an increase in deposits of $147.7 million, up 5.2 percent to $2.97 billion at September 30, 2006, compared to $2.83 billion at December 31, 2005, and an increase in FHLB advances and other borrowings of $123.1 million, up 265.7 percent to $169.4 million at September 30, 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 $231.8 million, up 19.9 percent to $1.39 billion, in noninterest-bearing demand deposits of $18.3 million, up 2.5 percent to $756.9 million, and in other time deposits of $10.9 million, up 3.9 percent to $288.7 million, partially offset by decreases in money market checking accounts of $91.4 million, down 17.4 percent to $434.7 million, and in savings accounts of $21.9 million, down 18.0 percent to $99.7 million.
     At September 30, 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 $1.3 million, or 11.0 percent, to $13.5 million at September 30, 2006 from $12.1 million at June 30, 2006, and increased by $3.3 million, or 33.0 percent, from $10.1 million at December 31, 2005. Non-performing loans as a percentage of gross loans increased to 0.47 percent at September 30, 2006 from 0.43 percent at June 30, 2006 and 0.41 percent at December 31, 2005. As of September 30, 2006, loans to borrowers in the wholesale trade, retail trade, and accommodation and food services industries made up 29.7 percent, 28.1 percent and 9.0 percent, respectively, of non-performing assets.

- 3 -


 

     At September 30, 2006, loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing were $6,000, down $3,000 from $9,000 at December 31, 2005. At September 30, 2006, non-accrual loans were $13.5 million, up $3.3 million, or 33.1 percent, from $10.1 million at December 31, 2005. There were no OREO assets at September 30, 2006 or December 31, 2005.
     At September 30, 2006, the allowance for loan losses was $28.3 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 September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. The allowance for loan losses represented 0.99 percent of gross loans at September 30, 2006, compared to 0.98 percent and 1.00 percent at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. As of September 30, 2006, the allowance for loan losses was 209.8 percent of non-performing loans, compared to 224.5 percent at June 30, 2006 and 246.4 percent at December 31, 2005, reflecting less loss severity of non-performing loans in light of the real estate collateral that secures the newly arising non-performing loans.
