EAST WEST BANCORP REPORTS NET INCOME FOR SECOND QUARTER 2017
OF $118.3 MILLION AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE OF $0.81
Pasadena, California - July 20, 2017 - East West Bancorp, Inc. (“East West” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EWBC), parent company of East West Bank, the financial bridge between the United States and Greater China, today reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2017. For the second quarter of 2017, net income was $118.3 million or $0.81 per diluted share. Second quarter 2017 return on average assets was 1.36%, return on average equity was 13.05% and tangible return on average tangible equity 1 was 15.30%.
“Second quarter results continued East West’s positive momentum from the first quarter. In the second quarter of 2017, total loans grew $732 million or 11% annualized to a record $27.2 billion from $26.5 billion as of March 31, 2017. Total deposits grew $611 million or 8% annualized to a record $31.2 billion as of June 30, 2017 from $30.5 billion at the end of the previous quarter,” stated Dominic Ng, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of East West.
“East West’s balance sheet growth during the quarter, augmented by the positive impact of rising short-term interest rates on our loan portfolio, resulted in net interest income growth of 7% and net interest margin expansion of 16 basis points linked quarter,” continued Ng. “For the second quarter of 2017, the yield on our loan portfolio expanded by 17 basis points from the prior quarter, compared to a modest increase in the cost of deposits of four basis points.”
“In addition, our strong operating performance was supported by stable asset quality. Quarter over quarter, nonperforming assets declined by 8%, to 0.37% of total assets. The allowance for loan losses to loans held-for-investment increased to 1.02%, in part due to annualized net recoveries of four basis points for the quarter. In summary, second quarter results were consistent with East West’s track record of delivering long-term shareholder value through attractive growth and profitability,” concluded Ng.

HIGHLIGHTS OF RESULTS

• | Strong Earnings - Net income of $118.3 million for the second quarter of 2017 increased by 15% compared to $103.3 million for the second quarter of 2016, and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $0.81 increased by 14% year-over-year from $0.71. Net income and diluted EPS for the second quarter of 2017 both decreased by 30% compared to net income of $169.7 million and EPS of $1.16 for the first quarter of 2017; first quarter results were positively impacted by the sale of a commercial property and a lower tax expense due to a change in the accounting for stock-based compensation. S econd quarter 2017 adjusted 2 pre-tax, pre-provision (“PTPP”) income of $198.0 million increased by 10% compared to $179.6 million in the first quarter. Year-over-year, adjusted PTPP income increased by 20% compared to $165.0 million in the second quarter of 2016.

• | Net Interest Income Growth and Net Interest Margin Expansion - Net interest income totaled $290.1 million for the second quarter of 2017, an increase of $18.0 million or 7% linked quarter. Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 310-30 discount accretion income was $6.3 million this quarter, compared to $3.2 million in the prior quarter. Excluding this discount accretion income, second quarter 2017 adjusted 3 net interest income of $283.8 million increased by $14.9 million or 6% sequentially, due to growth in the loan portfolio and the positive impact of recent short-term interest rate increases. Second quarter 2017 net interest margin (“NIM”) of 3.49% expanded by 16 basis points linked quarter; the adjusted 3 NIM of 3.41% expanded by 12 basis points linked quarter.

• | Record Loans - Total loans of $27.2 billion as of June 30, 2017 were up $732 million or 11% annualized from $26.5 billion as of March 31, 2017. Total loans grew by 12% year-over-year. The sequential quarter loan growth was driven by strong performance in single-family residential mortgages, as well as continued growth in our commercial loans and a more modest net increase in our commercial real estate and multifamily portfolios.

• | Record Deposits - Total deposits of $31.2 billion as of June 30, 2017 were up $611 million or 8% annualized from $30.5 billion as of March 31, 2017. Total deposits grew by 10% year-over-year. The sequential quarter growth in deposits was primarily due to increases in interest-bearing checking, time, money market and savings deposits. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased by $199 million to $10.5 billion as of June 30, 2017, comprising 34% of total deposits, down modestly from 35% as of March 31, 2017.

• | Steady Asset Quality -The allowance for loan losses increased to $276.3 million, or 1.02% of loans held-for-investment (“HFI”) as of June 30, 2017, compared to $263.1 million, or 0.99% of loans HFI as of March 31, 2017. In the second quarter of 2017, annualized net recoveries were 0.04% of average loans HFI, compared to annualized net charge-offs of 0.08% in the previous quarter. Non-purchased credit impaired (“Non-PCI”) nonperforming assets decreased to $133.0 million, or 0.37% of total assets, as of June 30, 2017, compared to $144.8 million, or 0.41% of total assets, as of March 31, 2017.

• | Capital Ratios - Capital levels for East West continue to be solid. Tangible equity per common share as of June 30, 2017 was $21.93, an increase of 3% linked quarter and 13% year-over-year. As of June 30, 2017, the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio 4 was 8.95%, the Common Equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) capital ratio was 11.3%, and the total risk-based capital ratio was 12.8%.

MANAGEMENT OUTLOOK FOR 2017
Our current outlook for the expected full year 2017 results, compared to our full year 2016 results, is as follows:

• | End of Period Loans: increase at a percentage rate in the low double digits. This is unchanged from our previous outlook.

• | Net Interest Margin (excluding the impact of ASC 310-30 discount accretion income): between 3.35% and 3.45%. This is unchanged from our previous outlook.

• | Noninterest Expense (excluding tax credit amortization & core deposit intangible amortization): increase at a percentage rate in the low single digits. This is unchanged from our previous outlook.

• | Provision for Credit Losses: in the range of $40 million to $50 million. This is unchanged from our previous outlook.

• | Tax Items: projecting investment in renewable energy and historical tax credits of $115 million, and related tax credit amortization of $95 million. This, along with other tax items, is expected to result in a full year 2017 effective tax rate of 26%. This compares to our previous outlook of $95 million of tax credit investments, $75 million of related tax credit amortization, and an effective tax rate in the range of 26% to 29%.

• | Interest Rates: our outlook incorporates the current forward rate curve; as such, it assumes one more Fed Funds rate increase in December 2017. Our previous outlook incorporated Fed Funds rate increases in June and November.

As previously disclosed on the March 30, 2017 Form 8-K, the Company consummated a sale and leaseback transaction on a commercial property and recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of $71.7 million during the first quarter of 2017. The table below shows the computation of the diluted earnings per common share excluding the after-tax effect of the gain on sale of the commercial property, return on average assets excluding the after-tax effect of the gain on sale of the commercial property and return on average equity excluding the after-tax effect of the gain on sale of the commercial property. Management believes that eliminating the effects of the gain on sale of the commercial property makes it easier to analyze the results by presenting them on a more comparable basis.

Table 15 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance. Tangible equity and tangible equity to tangible assets ratios are non-GAAP disclosures. Tangible equity represents stockholders’ equity which has been reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets. Given that the use of such measures and ratios are more prevalent in the banking industry, and used by banking regulators and analysts, the Company has included them for discussion.

Adjusted tangible return on average tangible equity represents adjusted tangible net income divided by average tangible equity. Adjusted tangible net income excludes the after-tax effect of the amortization of core deposit intangibles, the after-tax effect of the amortization of mortgage servicing assets and the after-tax effect of the gain on sale of the commercial property.
