Loans receivable of $4.82 billion, down slightly from the prior quarter; when excluding Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans, essentially unchanged quarter over quarter. Strong production of $348.0 million offset by second draw PPP loan sales, payoffs and forgiveness on first draw PPP loans.
Deposits of $5.51 billion, up 4.5% from the prior quarter driven by a 14.5% increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposits; cost of interest-bearing deposits fell 15 basis points from the prior quarter.
Credit loss expense was $2.1 million, compared with $5.1 million for the prior quarter and the allowance for credit losses was 1.83% of loans at March 31, 2021, or 1.94% excluding PPP loans.
Nonperforming assets declined 33.7% from year-end and were 0.88% of total assets at March 31, 2021 compared with 1.38% at December 31, 2020; loans modified under the CARES Act were down 25.1% to $116.4 million and 7.1% of these were included in nonperforming assets.
First quarter net interest income was $46.0 million compared with $46.9 million for the prior quarter; first quarter prepayment penalties were $0.3 million compared with $0.8 million for the prior quarter.
First quarter net interest margin was 3.09% (3.13% excluding PPP loans), compared with 3.13% (3.18% excluding PPP loans) for the prior quarter.
First quarter noninterest income increased 11.3% from the prior quarter to $9.8 million and included $2.5 million of gains from the sale of $108.6 million of second draw PPP loans.
Noninterest expense was $29.5 million, down 4.5% from the previous quarter primarily due to $1.4 million of capitalized expenses related to second draw PPP loans; Efficiency ratio for the first quarter was 52.92% (58.07% excluding securities gains and second draw PPP loan gains and origination costs) compared with 55.53% for the prior quarter.

LOS ANGELES, April 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hanmi Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:HAFC, or "Hanmi"))), the parent company of Hanmi Bank (the "Bank"), today reported net income for the 2021 first quarter of $16.7 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, compared with $14.3 million, or $0.47 per diluted share for the 2020 fourth quarter and $2.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share for the 2020 first quarter.

Bonnie Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Hanmi is off to a good start in 2021 with solid first quarter performance highlighted by strong loan production, notable deposit growth, careful noninterest expense management, a significant improvement in nonaccrual loans, and excellent earnings. Loan production reached $348.0 million and included $131.5 million of second draw PPP loans. More notable, first quarter loan production without PPP was 4% higher than the same quarter a year-ago. Deposit gathering activities in the quarter were very successful as total deposits expanded 4.5% from the prior quarter and 20.2% from a year ago. We continue to benefit from our strategy emphasizing low-cost noninterest-bearing demand deposits, which were the primary driver of deposit growth and now comprise nearly 40% of total deposits. I was also pleased with our ability to tightly manage expenses, as noninterest expense, adjusted for the second draw cost capitalization, was nearly flat on both a sequential quarter and year-over-year basis. In addition, protecting the value of our loan portfolio has remained a top priority throughout the pandemic. We will continue to take the steps needed to manage down nonaccrual loans and we expect continued movement in and out of the criticized loan category in these later stages of the pandemic. Altogether, net income of $16.7 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, expanded significantly and was near an all-time single quarter record for Hanmi."

Ms. Lee concluded, "As we look ahead in 2021, given our strong capital position, improving credit quality, ongoing expense management and solid loan origination pipeline, I believe Hanmi is well-positioned to generate profitable growth as we emerge from the pandemic and macro-economic conditions continue to improve."

Results of Operations

Net interest income was $46.0 million for the first quarter of 2021 compared with $46.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 driven by two days less interest during the quarter. First quarter interest and fees on loans receivable decreased 3.4%, or $1.8 million, from the preceding quarter primarily due to a 10 basis point reduction in average yields. This was offset by a decrease in total interest expense of 19.1%, or $1.4 million, from the preceding quarter driven by a 15 basis point reduction in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits. First quarter loan prepayment penalties were $0.3 million compared with $0.8 million for the fourth quarter.

Net interest margin was 3.09% for the first quarter of 2021, down 4 basis points from the prior quarter, as a 13 basis point decline in the yield on earning assets was offset by a 14 basis point decline in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

The yield on average earning assets was 3.50% for the first quarter of 2021 compared with 3.63% for the fourth quarter of 2020. The 13 basis point decline was primarily due to a reduction in yields on loans and securities.

The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 0.69% for the first quarter of 2021 compared with 0.83% for the fourth quarter of 2020. The 15 basis point decline in the cost of interest-bearing deposits drove the lower cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

For the first quarter of 2021, credit loss expense was $2.1 million, comprised of a $1.0 million provision for loan losses, a $2.1 million provision for an SBA guarantee repair loss, and a $1.0 million negative provision for losses on off-balance sheet items and accrued interest receivable for modified loans. Credit loss expense for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $5.1 million, comprised of a provision for loan losses of $5.7 million, a negative provision for off-balance sheet items of $2.9 million and a $2.3 million provision for losses on accrued interest receivable for modified loans. At March 31, 2021, accrued interest receivable on current and former modified loans was $6.4 million compared with $9.2 million at December 31, 2020 and the related allowance for estimated losses was $1.2 million and $1.7 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

First quarter of 2021 noninterest income increased to $9.8 million from $8.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, primarily due to a $2.5 million gain on the sale of $108.6 million second draw PPP loans at a net premium to carrying value of 2.35%. This was partially offset by lower other operating income, which was higher in the prior quarter primarily due to a $1.0 million litigation settlement from a failed acquisition and $1.0 million from the disposition of a previously acquired loan. Gains on sales of non-PPP 7(a) SBA loans were $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2021, down from $1.8 million for the preceding quarter. The volume of non-PPP 7(a) SBA loans sold for the first quarter and previous quarter was $18.1 million and $21.6 million, respectively, while trade premiums were 10.66% and 10.09%, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2021, noninterest expense decreased 4.5% to $29.5 million from $30.9 million for the fourth quarter primarily due to a $0.5 million decrease in salaries and employee benefits, a $0.5 million reduction in advertising and promotion fees and a $0.4 million reduction in professional fees, offset partially by $0.2 million decrease from prior quarter net expenses for impairments of bank properties, other real estate owned and repossessed personal property. The decrease in salaries and benefits reflects $1.4 million in capitalized costs from second draw PPP originations, offset partially by higher incentive compensation expense. The efficiency ratio improved to 52.92% in the first quarter from 55.53% in the prior quarter. Excluding the gains and capitalized costs for second draw PPP loan originations, the efficiency ratio was 58.07%.

Financial Position

Total assets were $6.44 billion at March 31, 2021, a 3.8% increase from $6.20 billion at December 31, 2020 driven by higher cash balances associated with the continued influx of additional customer noninterest-bearing deposits.

Deposits totaled $5.51 billion at the end of the first quarter, compared with $5.28 billion at the end of the preceding quarter. Growth was primarily driven by an increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposits and to a lesser extent increases in money market and savings deposits and interest-bearing demand deposits, partially offset by a reduction in time deposits. At March 31, 2021, the loan-to-deposit ratio was 87.4% compared with 92.5% at the end of the previous quarter. The increase in noninterest-bearing deposits reflects growth from new and existing customer relationships as well as increases from second draw PPP loans and similar economic stimulus activities.

⁽¹⁾ Preliminary ratios for March 31, 2021

Asset Quality

Loans and leases 30 to 89 days past due and still accruing were 0.14% of loans and leases at the end of the first quarter of 2021, compared with 0.19% at the end of the fourth quarter.

Special mention loans were $96.1 million at the end of the first quarter compared with $77.0 million at December 31, 2020. The quarter over quarter change reflects additions of $33.8 million and reductions (comprising upgrades, downgrades and payments) of $14.7 million. The March 31, 2021 balance of special mention loans included $72.0 million of loans adversely affected by the pandemic.

Classified loans were $147.4 million at March 31, 2021 compared with $140.2 million at the end of the fourth quarter. The quarter-over-quarter change reflects additions of $28.5 million and reductions (comprising upgrades, payments, sales, and charge-offs) of $21.3 million. At March 31, 2021, classified loans included $69.5 million of loans adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nonperforming loans were $55.1 million at the end of the first quarter of 2021, or 1.14% of loans, compared with $83.0 million at the end of the fourth quarter, or 1.70% of the portfolio. The quarter-over-quarter change reflects additions of $2.7 million and reductions (comprising upgrades, payments, sales, and charge-offs) of $30.6 million. At March 31, 2021, nonperforming loans included $21.0 million of loans and leases adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nonperforming assets were $56.6 million at the end of the first quarter of 2021, or 0.88% of total assets, compared with $85.4 million, or 1.38% of assets, at the end of the prior quarter.

Loans modified under the CARES Act declined 25% to $116.4 million at March 31, 2021 from $155.6 million at December 31, 2020. Approximately 10.6%, or $12.3 million, of modified loans are currently under deferred payment arrangements, with the remainder making payments that are less than the contractually required amount. Of the modified loan portfolio, 43.6% were special mention and 15.6% were classified. In addition, 7.1% were on nonaccrual status at March 31, 2021.

Gross charge-offs for the first quarter of 2021 were $3.5 million compared with $2.8 million for the preceding quarter. Recoveries of previously charged-off loans for the first quarter of 2021 were $0.5 million compared with $0.8 million for the preceding quarter. As a result, there were net charge-offs of $3.0 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared with net charge-offs of $1.9 million for the preceding quarter. For the first quarter of 2021, net charge-offs represented an annualized 0.25% of average loans compared with 0.16% of average loans for the fourth quarter.

The allowance for credit losses was $88.4 million as of March 31, 2021 generating an allowance for credit losses to loans of 1.83% (1.94% excluding the PPP loans) compared with 1.85% (1.97% excluding the PPP loans) at the end of the prior quarter. Although macroeconomic assumptions continue to improve, the risk factors associated with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Bank's loan portfolio continue to be considered in establishing the allowance for credit losses.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements, which are included in accordance with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact are "forward–looking statements" for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including, but not limited to, statements about anticipated future operating and financial performance, financial position and liquidity, business strategies, regulatory and competitive outlook, investment and expenditure plans, capital and financing needs and availability, plans and objectives of management for future operations, developments regarding our capital and strategic plans, and other similar forecasts and statements of expectation and statements of assumption underlying any of the foregoing. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "could," "expects," "plans," "intends," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," or "continue," or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. Although we believe that our forward-looking statements to be reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These factors include the following:

a failure to maintain adequate levels of capital and liquidity to support our operations;
the effect of potential future supervisory action against us or Hanmi Bank;
our ability to remediate any material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting;
general economic and business conditions internationally, nationally and in those areas in which we operate;
volatility and deterioration in the credit and equity markets;
changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;
availability of capital from private and government sources;
demographic changes;
competition for loans and deposits and failure to attract or retain loans and deposits;
fluctuations in interest rates and a decline in the level of our interest rate spread;
risks of natural disasters;
a failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, including cyberattacks;
the failure to maintain current technologies;
our inability to successfully implement future information technology enhancements;
difficult business and economic conditions that can adversely affect our industry and business, including competition and lack of soundness of other financial institutions, fraudulent activity and negative publicity;
risks associated with Small Business Administration loans;
failure to attract or retain key employees;
our ability to access cost-effective funding;
fluctuations in real estate values;
changes in accounting policies and practices;
the imposition of tariffs or other domestic or international governmental policies impacting the value of the products of our borrowers;
changes in governmental regulation, including, but not limited to, any increase in FDIC insurance premiums;
the ability of Hanmi Bank to make distributions to Hanmi Financial Corporation, which is restricted by certain factors, including Hanmi Bank's retained earnings, net income, prior distributions made, and certain other financial tests;
the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses;
our credit quality and the effect of credit quality on our provision for loan losses and allowance for credit losses;
changes in the financial performance and/or condition of our borrowers and the ability of our borrowers to perform under the terms of their loans and other terms of credit agreements;
our ability to control expenses;
changes in securities markets; and
risks as it relates to cyber security against our information technology and those of our third-party providers and vendors.

Further, given its ongoing and dynamic nature, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including when the coronavirus can be controlled and abated and whether the continued reopening of businesses will result in a meaningful increase in economic activity. As the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, we could be subject to any of the following risks, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations:

demand for our products and services may decline;
if the economy is unable to substantially reopen, and high levels of unemployment continue for an extended period of time, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase;
collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value, which could cause loan losses to increase;
our allowance for credit losses may have to be increased if borrowers experience financial difficulties;
a worsening of business and economic conditions or in the financial markets could result in an impairment of certain intangible assets, such as goodwill or our servicing assets;
the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us;
a material decrease in net income or a net loss over several quarters could result in a decrease in the rate of our quarterly cash dividend;
litigation, regulatory enforcement risk and reputation risk regarding our participation in the Paycheck Protection Program and the risk that the Small Business Administration may not fund some or all PPP loan guaranties;
our cyber security risks are increased as the result of an increase in the number of employees working remotely;
FDIC premiums may increase if the agency experiences additional resolution costs; and
the unanticipated loss or unavailability of key employees due to the outbreak, which could harm our ability to operate our business or execute our business strategy, especially as we may not be successful in finding and integrating suitable replacements.

In addition, we set forth certain risks in our reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K that we will file hereafter, which could cause actual results to differ from those projected. We undertake no obligation to update such forward-looking statements except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets Ratio

Tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio is supplemental financial information determined by a method other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). This non-GAAP measure is used by management in the analysis of Hanmi's capital strength. Tangible common equity is calculated by subtracting goodwill and other intangible assets from stockholders' equity. Banking and financial institution regulators also exclude goodwill and other intangible assets from stockholders' equity when assessing the capital adequacy of a financial institution. Management believes the presentation of this financial measure excluding the impact of these items provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the capital strength of Hanmi. This disclosure should not be viewed as a substitution for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

The following table reconciles this non-GAAP performance measure to the GAAP performance measure for the periods indicated:

Paycheck Protection Program

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") was adopted, which included authorization for the U.S. Small Business Administration (the "SBA") to introduce a new program, entitled the "Paycheck Protection Program," which provides loans for eligible businesses through the SBA's 7(a) loan guaranty program. These loans are fully guaranteed and available for loan forgiveness of up to the full principal amount so long as certain employee and compensation levels of the business are maintained and the proceeds of the loan are used as required under the program. The Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") and loan forgiveness are intended to provide economic relief to small businesses nationwide adversely impacted under the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hanmi participated in this program and the financial information for the 2021 first quarter reflects this participation. This table below shows financial information excluding the effect of the origination of the PPP loans, including the corresponding interest income earned on such loans, which constitutes a non-GAAP measure. Management believes the presentation of certain financial measures excluding the effect of PPP loans provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the financial condition and results of operations of Hanmi. This disclosure should not be viewed as a substitution for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that may be used by other companies.
