News Release
HOPE BANCORP REPORTS 2023 FOURTH QUARTER AND
FULL-YEAR FINANCIAL RESULTS
LOS ANGELES - January 30, 2024 - Hope Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: HOPE), the holding company of Bank of Hope (the “Bank”), today reported unaudited financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, net income totaled $26.5 million, or $0.22 per diluted common share. For the full year ended December 31, 2023, net income totaled $133.7 million, or $1.11 per diluted common share.
“Net income for the 2023 fourth quarter was $26.5 million, or $38.3 million excluding the FDIC special assessment and restructuring charges related to our strategic reorganization,” stated Kevin S. Kim, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Excluding these notable items, our net income was up 26% quarter-over-quarter. Continued focus on expense discipline and improvements in our credit quality metrics were important contributors to our net income growth. Nonperforming assets decreased 26%, and criticized loans declined 11% from September 30, 2023. Net charge offs for the 2023 fourth quarter were a very low five basis points, annualized, of average loans.
“We grew tangible book value 6% year-over-year, and all our regulatory risk-based capital ratios expanded,” continued Kim. “At December 31, 2023, the Company’s total capital ratio was 13.9% and common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 12.3%. Our strong capital positions the Bank well to support all our customers in their growth plans for the new year.
“The 2023 fourth quarter was an important building quarter for the Company with the announcement of our strategic reorganization in October. We believe our realignment around lines of business and products will enable Bank of Hope to operate more efficiently, support high-quality loan and deposit growth, and deliver improved returns in the years to come, enhancing stockholder value over the long term,” concluded Kim. “I wish to thank all our team members at Bank of Hope for their continued dedication to our organization and their excellence in serving our customers.”
Operating Results for the 2023 Fourth Quarter
Net income and earnings per share. Net income for the 2023 fourth quarter was $26.5 million, or $0.22 per diluted common share, compared with $30.0 million, or $0.25 per diluted common share, for the immediately preceding third quarter. Notable items impacting net income in the fourth quarter of 2023 were $8.7 million of restructuring costs, after tax, related to the Company’s previously announced strategic reorganization, and $3.1 million, after tax, accrued for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) special assessment, which was approved by the FDIC Board of Directors in November 2023. Excluding these notable items, net income for the 2023 fourth quarter was $38.3 million(1), up 26% from $30.4 million (excluding $376,000, after tax, of restructuring costs) for the third quarter of 2023. Earnings per diluted common share excluding notable items(1) amounted to $0.32 for the three months ended December 31, 2023, up 28% compared with $0.25 per diluted common share for the immediately preceding third quarter.
Net interest income and net interest margin. Net interest income before provision for credit losses for the 2023 fourth quarter totaled $125.9 million, compared with $135.4 million in the immediately preceding third quarter, a decrease of 7% quarter-over-quarter. Fourth quarter 2023 net interest margin contracted 13 basis points to 2.70%, from 2.83% in the 2023 third quarter. The linked quarter change in net interest income and net interest margin reflected a higher cost of interest bearing deposits and a decrease in the average balance of loans, partially offset by higher yields on investment securities and other earning assets, as well as a decrease in the average balance of interest bearing deposits. In addition, the third quarter of 2023 included $3.1 million of recovered interest income related to one borrower relationship, which contributed eight basis points to the average loan yield and six basis points to the net interest margin in the third quarter.
_____________________________________
(1) Net income, excluding the FDIC special assessment and restructuring charges (also referred to collectively as the “notable items”), and earnings per diluted common share excluding notable items are non-GAAP financial measures. Quantitative reconciliations of the most directly comparable GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures are provided in the accompanying financial information on Table Pages 10 and 11.
Noninterest income. Noninterest income for the 2023 fourth quarter totaled $9.3 million, increasing 12% from $8.3 million in the immediately preceding third quarter. Growth was well distributed across various fee income lines. The Company did not sell any SBA 7(a) loans during the second half of 2023, retaining loan production on the balance sheet instead.
Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense for the 2023 fourth quarter was $99.9 million, including $11.1 million of pre-tax restructuring costs, primarily comprising severance costs, planned branch consolidation charges and professional fees, and $4.0 million (pre-tax) accrued for the FDIC special assessment. Excluding these notable items, fourth quarter 2023 noninterest expense(2) was $84.8 million, down 2% from $86.4 million (excluding $500,000, pre-tax, of restructuring charges) in the 2023 third quarter. Fourth quarter 2023 salaries and employee benefits expense decreased 7% to $47.4 million, down from $51.0 million in the 2023 third quarter, reflecting the reduction to total headcount related to the restructuring. Other noninterest expense increased quarter-over-quarter, primarily reflecting increased CRA investment expense and provision for unfunded loan commitments.
Tax rate. The effective tax rate for the 2023 fourth quarter was 21.2%, compared with 24.9% for the immediately preceding third quarter. For the full year 2023, the effective tax rate was 24.9%, compared with 26.3% for the full year 2022.
Balance Sheet Summary
Cash and investment securities. At December 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.93 billion, compared with $2.50 billion at September 30, 2023, primarily driven by a decrease in deposit balances. At December 31, 2022, cash and equivalents were $506.8 million. Investment securities totaled $2.41 billion at December 31, 2023, up from $2.26 billion at September 30, 2023, and $2.24 billion at December 31, 2022.
Loans. Loans receivable of $13.85 billion at December 31, 2023, decreased 3% from $14.31 billion at September 30, 2023, reflecting declines in commercial and commercial real estate loans, partially offset by growth in residential mortgage loans. During the 2023 fourth quarter, the Company exited its residential mortgage warehouse line business, which accounted for $64.7 million of the linked quarter decrease in loans. Fourth quarter average loans of $14.05 billion decreased 3% quarter-over-quarter.
The following table sets forth the loan portfolio composition at December 31, 2023, September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022:

Fourth quarter 2023 average deposits of $15.26 billion decreased 3% quarter-over-quarter. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company reduced brokered time deposits by $449.9 million, or 25% from September 30, 2023. Noninterest bearing demand deposits decreased in the fourth quarter of 2023 primarily due to seasonality of funds from commercial customers in the residential mortgage business; these customers were unrelated to the exit of residential mortgage warehouse lending.
