FIRST QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

  • Diluted earnings per share increased 7% to $0.61 per share for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $0.57 per share for the same quarter a year ago.
  • Total loans increased $164 million, or 6% annualized, excluding loans held for sale, to $11.4 billion for the quarter.  

"For the first quarter of 2017, our total loans increased $164 million or 6% annualized to $11.4 billion.  Also, our net interest margin increased to 3.49% during the first quarter compared to 3.36% in the fourth quarter of 2016 mainly as a result of the payoff of high cost borrowings and higher interest rates," commented Pin Tai, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company.

"We are happy to announce that on March 20, 2017, the Federal Reserve Board approved our application to acquire SinoPac Bancorp, the parent of Far East National Bank," added Dunson Cheng, Executive Chairman of the Board of the Company.  The acquisition remains subject to receipt of Taiwan regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of customary conditions.

FIRST QUARTER INCOME STATEMENT REVIEW

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, was $48.9 million, an increase of $2.8 million, or 6.0%, compared to net income of $46.2 million for the same quarter a year ago.  Diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, was $0.61 compared to $0.57 for the same quarter a year ago.

Return on average stockholders' equity was 10.73% and return on average assets was 1.42% for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, compared to a return on average stockholders' equity of 10.66% and a return on average assets of 1.43% for the same quarter a year ago.   

Net interest income before provision for credit losses

Net interest income before provision for credit losses increased $9.7 million, or 9.5%, to $112.1 million during the first quarter of 2017 compared to $102.4 million during the same quarter a year ago.  The increase was due primarily to an increase in interest income from loans and a decrease in interest expense from securities sold under agreements to repurchase, partially offset by a decrease in interest income from investment securities.

The net interest margin was 3.49% for the first quarter of 2017 compared to 3.42% for the first quarter of 2016 and 3.36% for the fourth quarter of 2016. 

For the first quarter of 2017, the yield on average interest-earning assets was 4.07%, the cost of funds on average interest-bearing liabilities was 0.80%, and the cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.69%.  In comparison, for the first quarter of 2016, the yield on average interest-earning assets was 4.09%, the cost of funds on average interest-bearing liabilities was 0.89%, and the cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.69%. The decrease in the yield on average interest earning assets resulted mainly from higher deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank.  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 3.27% for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, compared to 3.20% for the same quarter a year ago.

Reversal for credit losses

Reversal for credit losses was $2.5 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $10.5 million for the first quarter of 2016.  The reversal for credit losses was based on a review of the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2017.  The following table summarizes the charge-offs and recoveries for the periods indicated:

Income taxes

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2017 was 29.5% compared to 32.9% for the first quarter of 2016.  The effective tax rate includes the impact of low income housing tax credits and alternative energy tax investments.  Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2017 was also reduced by $2.6 million in benefits from the distribution of restricted stock units and exercises of stock options.

BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

ASSET QUALITY REVIEW

At March 31, 2017, total non-accrual loans were $48.0 million, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 3.5%, from $49.7 million at December 31, 2016, and an increase of $3.4 million, or 7.4%, from $44.6 million at March 31, 2016.         

The allowance for loan losses was $115.5 million and the allowance for off-balance sheet unfunded credit commitments was $3.4 million at March 31, 2017, which represented the amount believed by management to be appropriate to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio, including unfunded commitments.  The $115.5 million allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2017, decreased $3.5 million, or 2.9%, from $119.0 million at December 31, 2016.  The allowance for loan losses represented 1.02% of period-end gross loans, excluding loans held for sale, and 240.9% of non-performing loans at March 31, 2017.  The comparable ratios were 1.06% of period-end gross loans, excluding loans held for sale, and 239.5% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2016.  The changes in non-performing assets and troubled debt restructurings at March 31, 2017, compared to December 31, 2016, and to March 31, 2016, are highlighted below:
