East West Bancorp Reports Net Income for Third Quarter 2019 of $171 Million and Diluted Earnings Per Share of $1.17; Record Operating Revenue of $421 Million

PASADENA, Calif.--()--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 third quarter of 2019. For the third quarter of 2019, net income was $171.4 million or $1.17 per diluted share, both up by 14% compared to the second quarter of 2019. Third quarter 2019 return on average assets was 1.58% and return on average equity was 14.1%.

“For the third quarter of 2019, East West achieved both record total operating1 revenue of $421 million and record net interest income of $370 million,” stated Dominic Ng, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of East West. “In a challenging environment of declining interest rates, we achieved a quarter-over-quarter increase in net interest income through balance sheet growth combined with a decrease in the cost of deposits. For the third quarter of 2019, the average cost of deposits decreased by six basis points to 1.05%, compared to 1.11% in the second quarter of 2019.”

“Total loans grew $291 million, or 3% annualized, to a record $34.0 billion as of September 30, 2019 from $33.7 billion as of June 30, 2019. Year-to-date, total loans grew 7% annualized. Total deposits grew $182 million, or 2% annualized, to a record $36.7 billion as of September 30, 2019 from $36.5 billion as of June 30, 2019. Year-to-date, total deposits grew 5% annualized.”

“We maintained strong expense discipline, resulting in a modest decline in noninterest expenses quarter-over-quarter,” continued Ng. “However, the provision for credit losses increased to $38 million for the third quarter, and our pre-tax income declined by 7.5% from the second quarter of 2019. Nevertheless, net income grew 14% quarter-over-quarter as we benefitted from a linked-quarter reduction in the income tax expense.”

“Overall, our third quarter 2019 return on assets was 1.58% and return on equity was 14.1%. We continue to deliver strong returns, in line with our long-term track record of generating attractive profitability,” concluded Ng.

  • End of Period Loans: increase by approximately 7% year-over-year.
  • Net Interest Income (excluding ASC 310-30 discount accretion income): increase by approximately 6% year-over-year.
  • Net Interest Margin (excluding the impact of ASC 310-30 discount accretion): between 3.60% and 3.65%.
  • Noninterest Expense (excluding amortization of tax credit investments & core deposit intangibles): increase by approximately 3% year-over-year.
  • Provision for Credit Losses: approximately $100 million.
  • Tax Items: projecting full year effective tax rate of approximately 20%, including the impact of a $30.1 million reversal of previously claimed tax credits in the second quarter of 2019, or approximately 15% excluding the tax credit reversal.

OPERATING RESULTS SUMMARY

Third Quarter 2019 Compared to Second Quarter 2019

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income totaled $369.8 million, a 1% increase from $367.3 million. Net interest margin of 3.59% contracted by 14 basis points from 3.73%.

  • Average loans of $33.7 billion grew $679.9 million, or 8% linked quarter annualized.
  • Average interest-earning assets of $40.9 billion grew $1.5 billion, or 15% linked quarter annualized. Growth came primarily from an increase in the average interest-bearing cash and deposits with banks of $695.6 million and the aforementioned increase in average loans.
  • Average deposits of $36.5 billion grew $1.2 billion, or 13% linked quarter annualized.
  • The average yield on loans contracted by 17 basis points to 5.11% from 5.28%, reflecting the decline in Libor rates and two 25-basis point reductions in the fed funds rate during the current quarter. The yield on average interest-earning assets contracted by 21 basis points to 4.62% from 4.83%.
  • The average cost of deposits decreased by six basis points to 1.05% from 1.11%, and the average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased by eight basis points to 1.49% from 1.57%.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income totaled $51.5 million, a 2% decrease from $52.8 million.

  • The $2.0 million increase in net gains on sales of loans primarily reflected an increase in the volume of SBA loans sold. Wealth management fees increased $1.0 million, reflecting an increase in customer activity.
  • The $2.0 million decrease in interest rate contracts and other derivative income primarily reflected the quarter-over-quarter change in the credit valuation adjustment, which was driven by the decline in long-term interest rates during the third quarter of 2019. Customer driven interest rate contract revenue was $11.1 million during the third quarter, compared to $11.8 million in the second quarter.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense totaled $176.6 million, a 1% decrease from $177.7 million.

  • Third quarter noninterest expense consisted of $158.6 million of adjusted4 noninterest expense, $16.8 million in amortization of tax credit and other investments, and $1.1 million in amortization of core deposit intangibles.
  • Adjusted noninterest expense of $158.6 million decreased by approximately $1.2 million, or 1%, from $159.8 million. The largest linked-quarter decrease was in compensation and employee benefits expense.
  • The adjusted4 efficiency ratio was 37.7% in the third quarter, an improvement of 37 basis points compared to 38.0% in the previous quarter.

Included in the second quarter 2019 income tax expense was a $30.1 million reversal of certain previously claimed tax credits related to DC Solar. Adjusted, tax expense was $42.7 million5 and the effective tax rate was 19%5 in the second quarter of 2019.

  • For the full year 2019, the Company projects that its effective tax rate will be approximately 20%, including the impact of a $30.1 million tax credit reversal in the second quarter of 2019, or approximately 15% excluding the tax credit reversal.

CREDIT QUALITY

The allowance for loan losses totaled $345.6 million, or 1.02% of loans HFI, as of September 30, 2019, compared to $330.6 million, or 0.98% of loans HFI, as of June 30, 2019, and $310.0 million, or 0.99% of loans HFI, as of September 30, 2018.

  • Non-PCI nonperforming assets were $134.5 million, or 0.31% of total assets, as of September 30, 2019, compared to $119.3 million, or 0.28% of total assets, as of June 30, 2019, and $114.6 million, or 0.29% of total assets, as of September 30, 2018.
  • Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2019 were $22.5 million, or annualized 0.26% of average loans HFI; the charge-offs in the quarter largely stemmed from three commercial loans.

Under regulatory guidelines, on-balance sheet assets and credit equivalent amounts of derivatives and off-balance sheet items are assigned to one of several broad risk categories based on the nature of the obligor, or, if relevant, the guarantor or the nature of any collateral. The aggregate dollar value in each risk category is then multiplied by the risk weight associated with that category. The resulting weighted values from each of the risk categories are aggregated for determining total RWA.

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company reversed $30.1 million of certain previously claimed tax credits related to the DC Solar tax credit investments (“DC Solar”). The table below shows the computation of the Company’s effective tax rate excluding the impact of the DC Solar tax credits reversal. Management believes that excluding the impact of the DC Solar tax credits reversal from the effective tax rate computation allows comparability to prior periods.

Table 13

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company recorded a $7.0 million pre-tax impairment charge related to DC Solar. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company reversed $30.1 million of certain previously claimed tax credits related to DC Solar. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company sold its Desert Community Bank (“DCB”) branches and recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of $31.5 million. Management believes that presenting the computations of the adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per common share, adjusted return on average assets and adjusted return on average equity that exclude the after-tax impact of the impairment charge related to DC Solar, the reversal of certain previously claimed tax credits related to DC Solar and the after-tax impact of the gain on the sale of the DCB branches (where applicable) provides clarity to financial statement users regarding the ongoing performance of the Company and allows comparability to prior periods.

Table 14

Adjusted efficiency ratio represents adjusted noninterest expense divided by adjusted revenue. Adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision profitability ratio represents the aggregate of adjusted revenue less adjusted noninterest expense, divided by average total assets. Adjusted revenue represents the aggregate of net interest income and adjusted noninterest income, where adjusted noninterest income excludes the gain on the sale of the DCB branches that were sold in the first quarter of 2018 (where applicable). Adjusted noninterest expense excludes the amortization of tax credit and other investments and the amortization of core deposit intangibles. Management believes that the measures and ratios presented below provide clarity to financial statement users regarding the ongoing performance of the Company and allow comparability to prior periods.

GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION

Table 16

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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 ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. Tangible equity and tangible assets represent stockholders’ equity and total assets, respectively, which have been reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets. Given that the use of such measures and ratios is more prevalent in the banking industry, and such measures and ratios are used by banking regulators and analysts, the Company has included them below for discussion.

Adjusted return on average tangible equity represents adjusted tangible net income divided by average tangible equity. Adjusted tangible net income excludes the after-tax impacts of the amortization of core deposit intangibles and mortgage servicing assets, impairment charge related to DC Solar and the gain on the sale of the DCB branches; and the reversal of certain previously claimed tax credits related to DC Solar (where applicable). Given that the use of such measures and ratios is more prevalent in the banking industry, and such measures and ratios are used by banking regulators and analysts, the Company has included them below for discussion.
