Hanmi Financial Corporation’s
Second-Quarter 2008 Financial Results
Include Goodwill Impairment Charge
LOS ANGELES – July 29, 2008 – Hanmi Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:HAFC) (“we,” “our” or “Hanmi”), the holding company for Hanmi Bank (“the Bank”), reported a second-quarter net loss of $105.5 million, or ($2.30) per share, which includes a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $107.4 million and a provision for credit losses of $19.2 million, compared to net income of $15.3 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, Hanmi reported a net loss of $102.6 million, or ($2.24) per share, compared to net income of $28.3 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2007.
The goodwill subject to impairment was primarily associated with the April 2004 acquisition of Pacific Union Bank, whose twelve branches continue to make significant contributions to the Bank’s core operations. The second quarter 2008 goodwill impairment charge, like a similar charge of $102.9 million incurred in the fourth quarter of 2007, is a non-cash item. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) require that when an event or a significant adverse change in market conditions occurs, then an assessment of impairment of goodwill must be performed. GAAP requires that a company use the most readily available indicator of market value, which is the market price of its stock, as part of its assessment of goodwill impairment. Accordingly, we determined that the market value of our common stock was not sufficient to support the carrying value of the remaining goodwill on the balance sheet. Because of this charge, there is no longer any goodwill on our balance sheet.
Jay S. Yoo, Hanmi’s recently appointed President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), noted, “The Bank’s capital levels and liquidity position remain adequate. Moreover,” said Yoo, “I would like to reaffirm our commitment to serving the long-term interests of both our customers and our shareholders. Fulfilling that commitment requires that we bring greater stability to both our operations and our operating performance. Accordingly, since my appointment as President and CEO last month, we have begun implementing programs designed to enhance credit quality and operating efficiencies. For example, we are restructuring our credit administration functions by centralizing the credit underwriting function at three locations, creating a central monitoring mechanism to monitor all loans, and increasing resources in departments of the Bank engaged in addressing problem assets.
“Of necessity, I have learned a lot in my thirty-seven years in commercial banking. It is apparent that, in the early years of this decade, many in the banking industry became somewhat complacent in the face of easy credit, historically low interest rates and a booming economy characterized by an extraordinarily robust real estate market. We have not been immune to the pervasive and adverse effects of tighter credit and a slowing economy. We are focusing our attention on improving credit quality rather than growing our asset base. Among other things, we are more closely and frequently reviewing and monitoring all loans that are special mention and impaired.
“We are, of course, confident in Hanmi’s future and will work hard to strengthen our loan portfolio and use our best efforts to build our deposit base. We are committed to ensuring Hanmi’s continuing success. Our customers and shareholders deserve nothing less.”

Results of Operations
The tables below provide a reconciliation between various GAAP and non-GAAP metrics — including non-interest expenses, net income and earnings per share — that exclude the effect of the goodwill impairment charge for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008. We have provided them in the belief that they can be useful in evaluating our core operating performance.

Excluding the goodwill impairment charge, non-GAAP net income was $1.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.9 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, reported in the first quarter of 2008. For the six months, ended June 30, 2008, non-GAAP net income was $4.8 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to net income of $28.3 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2007. The disappointing second-quarter results reflect a number of factors, notably continuing weakness in the loan portfolio and the resulting provision for credit losses of $19.2 million.
Total non-interest income in the second quarter of 2008 was $9.7 million compared to $9.8 million in the first quarter and $10.7 million a year ago. First quarter 2008 non-interest income included a $618,000 gain on sales of securities, for which there were no comparable sales in the second quarter; this was largely offset by an increase of $580,000 in other income, to a total of $917,000, attributable primarily to a $450,000 refund of a previously paid fee to an outside vendor. Gain on sales of loans more than doubled, to $552,000 in the second quarter of 2008 from $213,000 in the first quarter of 2008 due to higher sales volume. In the second quarter of 2008, $17.1 million of loans were sold at an average gain of 3.2 percent, compared to $6.2 million and 3.5 percent in the first quarter of 2008.

Total non-interest expense in the second quarter of 2008 was $129.4 million compared to $21.6 million in the first quarter and $21.5 million a year ago. Excluding the goodwill impairment charge, non-GAAP non-interest expenses were $22.1 million in the second quarter of 2008, or $462,000 higher than in the first quarter of 2008. “Longer term, we expect to reduce non-interest expenses — with corresponding improvements in the efficiency ratio — as we implement a program to tighten the Bank’s operations, streamline its organizational structure and optimize overhead,” said Brian Cho, Chief Financial Officer. “I would emphasize, however, that such changes take time to affect the bottom line.”
For the second quarter of 2008, the efficiency ratio (non-interest expenses divided by the sum of net interest income before provision for credit losses and non-interest income) was 296.07 percent, or 50.43 percent excluding the goodwill impairment charge, compared to 49.11 percent in the first quarter of 2008 and 43.70 percent in the comparable period a year ago.
Net interest income before provision for credit losses decreased by $129,000, or 0.4 percent, to $34.1 million compared to $34.2 million in the first quarter of 2008. The weak economy continues to take a toll on the Bank’s borrowers. The second quarter 2008 provision for credit losses increased to $19.2 million compared to $17.8 million in the first quarter and $3.0 million in the comparable period a year ago. Charge-offs, net of recoveries, were $8.2 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2007.
The full effect of the Federal Reserve Bank’s 200-basis-point cut in short-term interest rates in early 2008 on our interest-earning assets was reflected in the second quarter of 2008, when the yield on the loan portfolio declined by 60 basis points to 6.78 percent from 7.38 percent in the first quarter of 2008. On the other hand, as time deposits matured, we experienced a positive effect in the cost of average interest-bearing deposits, which decreased by 56 basis points to 3.70 percent from 4.26 percent in the prior quarter.
Net interest margin was 3.75 percent compared to 3.73 percent in the first quarter of 2008 and 4.50 percent in the second quarter of 2007. “I would caution that competition for deposits remains intense,” said Cho, “and we do not expect to see significant margin expansion for some time to come.”
Balance Sheet and Asset Quality
At June 30, 2008, total assets were $3.85 billion compared to $3.94 billion at March 31, 2008, a reduction of $95.3 million, or 2.4 percent. Gross loans increased by $49.1 million, or 1.5 percent, to $3.36 billion at June 30, 2008, compared to $3.31 billion at March 31, 2008. Total deposits declined by $66.2 million, or 2.2 percent, to $2.96 billion at June 30, 2008, compared to $3.03 billion at March 31, 2008. FHLB advances and other borrowings increased by $84.6 million, or 20.3 percent, to $500.1 million at June 30, 2008, compared to $415.6 million at March 31, 2008. “The bulk of the reduction in total assets,” said Yoo, “is attributable to the second-quarter goodwill impairment charge.”
As of June 30, 2008, the allowance for loan losses was $63.0 million, or 1.88 percent of gross loans (56.14 percent of non-performing loans), compared to $53.0 million, or 1.60 percent of gross loans (59.72 percent of non-performing loans), at March 31, 2008, and $32.2 million, or 1.05 percent of gross loans (142.30 percent of non-performing loans), at June 30, 2007.

As of June 30, 2008, non-performing loans increased to $112.2 million (3.34 percent of gross loans), compared to $88.7 million (2.68 percent of gross loans) at March 31, 2008. Delinquent loans increased to $138.4 million (4.12 percent of total gross loans) at June 30, 2008, compared to $105.8 million (3.20 percent of total gross loans) at March 31, 2008. The majority of the $23.5 million and $32.5 million sequential increases in non-performing and delinquent loans, respectively, is attributable to a $24.2 million commercial term loan.
“We face a number of challenges in an environment characterized by a sluggish economy and aggressive pricing of both loans and deposits,” added Yoo, “For Hanmi, none of these challenges is more important than the improvement in credit quality. In addition to monitoring delinquent loans, we are working diligently at the early identification of potential weaknesses in currently performing loans. Here our aim is twofold: where appropriate, to work with a borrower to address small problems before they become more serious and possibly jeopardize the status of the loan; and, based on this and other analyses, to ensure that our reserves are adequate for losses inherent in the loan portfolio.”
Capital Adequacy
The Bank’s capital ratios exceed levels defined as “well-capitalized” by our regulators. At June 30, 2008, the Bank’s Tier 1 Leverage, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital and Total Risk-Based Capital ratios were 8.60 percent, 9.39 percent and 10.64 percent, respectively, compared to 8.74 percent, 9.54 percent and 10.79 percent, respectively, at March 31, 2008.
“Consistent with our attention to asset quality rather than total assets,” Yoo said, “we anticipate that, absent a severe and unduly prolonged deterioration in the credit markets, our existing capital, augmented by future net income, will be sufficient to maintain our well-capitalized status and support measured growth in our business.”
Yoo continued, “Hanmi’s Board of Directors will continue to monitor the appropriateness of the cash dividend in light of changing market conditions. Our current view is that a $0.03 per share quarterly dividend provides a reasonable balance between preserving capital and providing investors with a cash return on their investment. In addition, as previously disclosed, our ability to pay a cash dividend is also dependent on receipt of regulatory approvals from the Federal Reserve Board and the California Department of Financial Institutions.”
