THIRD QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

  • Diluted earnings per share increased 23.4% to $0.58 per share for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $0.47 per share for the same quarter a year ago.
  • Total loans increased $487.4 million for the quarter, or 18.5% annualized, to $11.0 billion compared to $10.5 billion at June 30, 2016.  

"Our loan growth for the third quarter was the strongest in many years, with the largest increases being $212.8 million, or 15.4% annualized, in commercial mortgage loans, and $182.5 million, or 34.0% annualized, in residential mortgage loans, which included purchases of mortgage pools of $110.9 million.  On a year to date basis, loan growth was $847 million or over 11% annualized.  Our deposits also increased $429.6 million, or 5.5% annualized, to $10.9 billion," commented Dunson Cheng, Executive Chairman of the Board of the Company.

"Our transaction to acquire Far East National Bank continues to progress and we still expect it to be completed during the first half of 2017," concluded Dunson Cheng.

THIRD QUARTER INCOME STATEMENT REVIEW

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, was $46.1 million, an increase of $7.6 million, or 19.8%, compared to net income of $38.5 million for the same quarter a year ago.  Diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, was $0.58 compared to $0.47 for the same quarter a year ago.

Return on average stockholders' equity was 10.30% and return on average assets was 1.38% for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to a return on average stockholders' equity of 8.80% and a return on average assets of 1.23% for the same quarter a year ago.  The increase is primarily due to the $11.7 million decrease in amortization of investments in alternative energy partnerships. 

Net interest income before provision for credit losses

Net interest income before provision for credit losses increased $6.2 million, or 6.3%, to $103.8 million during the third quarter of 2016 compared to $97.6 million during the same quarter a year ago.  The increase was due primarily to an increase in interest income from loans, partially offset by an increase in interest expense from time and other deposits.

The net interest margin was 3.36% for the third quarter of 2016 and 3.37% for the third quarter of 2015.  The decrease in the net interest margin for the third quarter of 2016 from 3.38% in the second quarter of 2016, was primarily due to lower interest recoveries and prepayment penalties during the third quarter of 2016.

For the third quarter of 2016, the yield on average interest-earning assets was 4.02%, the cost of funds on average interest-bearing liabilities was 0.89%, and the cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.70%.  In comparison, for the third quarter of 2015, the yield on average interest-earning assets was 4.03%, the cost of funds on average interest-bearing liabilities was 0.87%, and the cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.67%. The net interest spread, defined as the difference between the yield on average interest-earning assets and the cost of funds on average interest-bearing liabilities, was 3.13% for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to 3.16% for the same quarter a year ago.

Reversal for credit losses

Reversal for credit losses was zero for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2015.  This was based on a review of the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2016. A provision or reversal for credit losses represents a charge against or benefit toward current earnings that is determined by management, through a credit review process, as the amount needed to establish an allowance that management believes to be sufficient to absorb credit losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio, including unfunded commitments.  The following table summarizes the charge-offs and recoveries for the periods indicated:

Non-interest income

Non-interest income, which includes revenues from depository service fees, letters of credit commissions, securities gains (losses), gains (losses) on loan sales, wire transfer fees, and other sources of fee income, was $8.8 million for the third quarter of 2016, a decrease of $400,000, or 3.8%, compared to $9.2 million for the third quarter of 2015.

Non-interest expense

Non-interest expense decreased $6.8 million, or 11.7%, to $50.7 million in the third quarter of 2016 compared to $57.5 million in the same quarter a year ago.  The decrease in non-interest expense in the third quarter of 2016 was primarily due to decreases of $11.7 million in amortization of investments in alternative energy partnerships. The efficiency ratio was 45.05% in the third quarter of 2016 compared to 53.81% for the same quarter a year ago.   

Income taxes

The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2016 was 25.5% compared to 23.9% for the third quarter of 2015.  The effective tax rate includes the impact of the utilization of low income housing tax credits and alternative energy tax credits. 

BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

Gross loans, excluding loans held for sale, were $11.0 billion at September 30, 2016, an increase of $847.0 million, or 8.3%, from $10.2 billion at December 31, 2015, primarily due to increases of $442.8 million, or 8.4%, in commercial mortgage loans, $397.0 million, or 20.5%, in residential mortgage loans, and $73.7 million, or 16.7%, in real estate construction loans partially offset by decreases of $67.9 million, or 2.9%, in commercial loans.  The loan balances and composition at September 30, 2016, compared to December 31, 2015, and to September 30, 2015, are presented below:

ASSET QUALITY REVIEW

At September 30, 2016, total non-accrual loans were $44.4 million, a decrease of $26.8 million, or 37.7%, from $71.2 million at September 30, 2015, and a decrease of $7.7 million, or 14.9%, from $52.1 million at December 31, 2015.         

The allowance for loan losses was $117.9 million and the allowance for off-balance sheet unfunded credit commitments was $2.2 million at September 30, 2016, which represented the amount believed by management to be appropriate to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio, including unfunded commitments.  The $117.9 million allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2016, decreased $21.1 million, or 15.1%, from $139.0 million at December 31, 2015.  The allowance for loan losses represented 1.07% of period-end gross loans, excluding loans held for sale, and 265.9% of non-performing loans at September 30, 2016.  The comparable ratios were 1.37% of period-end gross loans, excluding loans held for sale, and 266.6% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2015.  The changes in non-performing assets and troubled debt restructurings at September 30, 2016, compared to December 31, 2015, and to September 30, 2015, are highlighted below:

Troubled debt restructurings on accrual status totaled $86.6 million at September 30, 2016, compared to $81.7 million at December 31, 2015.  These loans are classified as troubled debt restructurings as a result of granting a concession to borrowers.  Although these loan modifications are considered troubled debt restructurings under Accounting Standard Codification 310-40 and Accounting Standard Update 2011-02, these loans have demonstrated sustained performance under the modified terms.  The sustained performance considered by management includes the periods prior to the modification if the prior performance met or exceeded the modified terms as well as cash paid to set up interest reserves.

The ratio of non-performing assets, excluding non-accrual loans held for sale, to total assets was 0.5% at September 30, 2016, compared to 0.6% at December 31, 2015.  Total non-performing assets decreased $11.5 million, or 15.0%, to $65.3 million at September 30, 2016, compared to $76.8 million at December 31, 2015, primarily due to a decrease of $7.7 million, or 14.9%, in non-accrual loans and a decrease of $3.8 million, or 15.0%, in other real estate owned. 

CAPITAL ADEQUACY REVIEW

At September 30, 2016, the Company's common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of  12.64%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 13.67%, total risk-based capital ratio of 14.78%, and Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 11.91%, calculated under the Basel III capital rules, continue to place the Company in the "well capitalized" category for regulatory purposes, which is defined as institutions with a common equity tier 1 capital ratio equal to or greater than 6.5%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 8%, a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 10%, and a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio equal to or greater than 5%. At December 31, 2015, the Company's common equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 12.95%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 14.03%, total risk-based capital ratio was 15.30%, and Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 11.95%.

YEAR-TO-DATE REVIEW

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, was $127.1 million, an increase of $7.4 million, or 6.2%, compared to net income of $119.7 million for the same period a year ago.  Diluted earnings per share was $1.59 compared to $1.48 per share for the same period a year ago.  The net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, was 3.39% compared to 3.43% for the same period a year ago.

Return on average stockholders' equity was 9.66% and return on average assets was 1.29% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to a return on average stockholders' equity of 9.56% and a return on average assets of 1.36% for the same period of 2015.  The efficiency ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, was 51.35% compared to 49.13% for the same period a year ago.
