East West Bancorp Reports Net Income for Second Quarter 2020 of $99.4 Million and Diluted Earnings Per Share Of $0.70

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 second quarter of 2020. For the second quarter of 2020, net income was $99.4 million or $0.70 per diluted share. Second quarter 2020 return on average assets was 0.83% and return on average equity was 8.02%.

“East West is steadfast in its commitment to support our existing and new customers and the communities we operate in. Despite the challenges presented by adapting to the COVID-19 pandemic, total loans grew $1.3 billion, or 15% annualized, to a record $37.2 billion as of June 30, 2020 from $35.9 billion as of March 31, 2020,” stated Dominic Ng, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of East West.

“During the second quarter, East West funded $1.8 billion of Paycheck Protection Program loans for over 7,200 customers. In addition, residential mortgage loans grew by 12% annualized and total commercial real estate loans grew by 9% annualized. This well-balanced loan growth demonstrates the strength of East West’s business model and our ability to generate responsible and attractive growth, even under difficult economic conditions.”

“Total deposits grew $2.0 billion, or 21% annualized, to a record $40.7 billion as of June 30, 2020 from $38.7 billion as of March 31, 2020,” continued Ng. “Second quarter 2020 deposit growth was driven by strong growth in noninterest-bearing demand and in low-cost money market deposits. Further, we proactively reduced higher-cost deposit balances. Overall, the average cost of deposits declined by 35 basis points quarter-over-quarter.”

“East West’s adjusted1 pre-tax, pre-provision profitability ratio remained strong at over 2% for the second quarter of 2020, despite the very low interest rate environment. During the quarter, we further strengthened our allowance for loan losses coverage to 1.70% of our loan portfolio, to reflect a more adverse macroeconomic outlook,” added Ng.

“We added to our already substantial levels of liquidity by participating in the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility, bolstering our balance sheet capacity to serve our customers. Quarter-over-quarter, our capital increased and our high capital ratios position us in a place of strength,” concluded Ng. “I wish to thank all of our associates for all of their hard work, dedication and adaptability in serving our customers in these unprecedented and challenging times.”

SUMMARY OF THE QUARTER

  • Second Quarter Earnings – Second quarter 2020 net income was $99.4 million and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) were $0.70, compared to first quarter 2020 net income of $144.8 million and diluted EPS of $1.00.
  • Record Loans – Total loans of $37.2 billion as of June 30, 2020 increased by $1.3 billion, or 15% annualized, from $35.9 billion as of March 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans were $1.7 billion.

    Second quarter 2020 average loans of $37.1 billion grew $2.0 billion, or 23% linked quarter annualized. Loan growth during the quarter came from each of East West’s major loan portfolios, with the strongest growth from commercial and industrial (“C&I”), driven by PPP loan growth. Commercial real estate and residential mortgage loans contributed to the growth during the quarter as well.
  • Record Deposits – Total deposits of $40.7 billion as of June 30, 2020 increased by $2.0 billion, or 21% annualized, from $38.7 billion as of March 31, 2020.

    Second quarter 2020 average deposits of $39.9 billion grew $2.4 billion, or 26% linked quarter annualized, primarily driven by growth in noninterest-bearing demand accounts. Average non-interest bearing deposits increased to 34% of total deposits in the second quarter, up from 30% in the first quarter of 2020. Deposit growth in the second quarter was attributable to strong growth from consumer and small business commercial customers, as well as to PPP funds held in deposit accounts, partially offset by the intentional run-off of higher-cost balances.
  • Balance Sheet Management – During the second quarter of 2020, the Company participated in the PPP Liquidity Facility (“PPPLF”), adding $1.4 billion to low-cost funding at a rate of 35 basis points. Also during the second quarter, East West prepaid $150.0 million of repurchase agreements and incurred a debt extinguishment cost of $8.7 million.
  • Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin – Second quarter 2020 net interest income (“NII”) was $343.8 million, a decrease of $18.9 million or 5% from first quarter 2020 NII of $362.7 million. Second quarter 2020 net interest margin (“NIM”) was 3.04%, a 40 basis point compression from 3.44% in the first quarter of 2020. The changes in the NII and in the NIM reflect the quarter-over-quarter drop in the average Prime and LIBOR interest rates.
  • Noninterest Expense and Efficiency Ratio – Second quarter 2020 noninterest expense totaled $187.7 million, including $153.3 million of adjusted2 noninterest expense. Adjusted noninterest expense of $153.3 million decreased by $7.3 million, or 5%, from $160.6 million in the first quarter of 2020. Correspondingly, the adjusted2 efficiency ratio was 38.1% in the second quarter, compared to 38.5% in the first quarter.
  • Asset Quality Metrics – The allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) totaled $632.1 million, or 1.70% of loans held-for-investment (“HFI”), as of June 30, 2020, compared to $557.0 million, or 1.55% of loans HFI, as of March 31, 2020.

    Second quarter 2020 provision for credit losses was $102.4 million, compared to $ 73.9 million for the first quarter of 2020. Second quarter 2020 net charge-offs were $19.2 million, or annualized 0.21% of average loans HFI, compared to annualized 0.01% of average loans HFI in the first quarter of 2020. Nonperforming assets were $202.2 million, or 0.41% of total assets, as of June 30, 2020, compared to 0.33% of total assets as of March 31, 2020.
  • Capital Levels – Capital levels for East West are strong. As of June 30, 2020, stockholders’ equity was $5.0 billion, or $35.25 per share. Tangible equity3 per common share was $31.86 as of June 30, 2020, an increase of 2% from $31.27 as of March 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio3 was 9.2%, the common equity tier 1 (“CET1”) capital ratio was 12.7%, and the total risk-based capital ratio was 14.4%.

Net interest income totaled $343.8 million, a decrease of 5% from $362.7 million. Net interest margin of 3.04% decreased by 40 basis points from 3.44%.

  • Interest and fees earned on PPP loans contributed $21.3 million to interest income, and interest expense paid on the related PPPLF was $0.5 million.
  • Average interest-earning assets of $45.4 billion grew $3.1 billion, or 29% linked quarter annualized. Average loan growth of $2.0 billion, or 23% linked quarter annualized, was mainly due to growth from PPP loans. The average balance of PPP loans was $1.5 billion in the second quarter of 2020.
  • Average interest-bearing deposits were essentially flat at $26.4 billion. Average noninterest-bearing deposits of $13.5 billion grew $2.4 billion, or 87% linked quarter annualized. The average balance of the PPPLF, classified as long-term debt, was $530.3 million.
  • The average loan yield contracted by 73 basis points to 3.98%, down from 4.71%, reflecting materially lower interest rates during the second quarter.
  • The yield on average interest-earning assets contracted by 73 basis points to 3.53%, down from 4.26%.
  • The average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased by 46 basis points to 0.71%, down from 1.17%. The average cost of deposits decreased by 35 basis points to 0.47%, down from 0.82%.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income totaled $58.6 million, an 8% increase from $54.0 million.

  • Gains on sales of available-for-sale debt securities were $9.6 million, driven by $131.6 million in sales of municipal bonds during the second quarter.
  • Lending fees of $21.9 million increased by $6.2 million, primarily reflecting an increase in the valuation of warrants received as part of lending relationships.
  • The largest linked-quarter decreases in noninterest income were a $3.3 million decrease in foreign exchange income and a $2.3 million decrease in wealth management fees, both reflecting a decrease in customer-driven transactions during the second quarter.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $187.7 million, a 5% increase from $178.9 million.

  • Second quarter noninterest expense consisted of $153.3 million of adjusted noninterest expense, $24.8 million in amortization of tax credit and other investments, $8.7 million of debt extinguishment cost, and $0.9 million in amortization of core deposit intangibles.
  • During the second quarter, the Company prepaid $150.0 million of repurchase agreements and incurred a debt extinguishment cost of $8.7 million.

  • The adjusted efficiency ratio was 38.1% in the second quarter, compared to 38.5% in the first quarter.

TAX RELATED ITEMS

ASSET QUALITY

The allowance for loan losses totaled $632.1 million, or 1.70% of loans HFI, as of June 30, 2020, compared to $557.0 million, or 1.55% of loans HFI, as of March 31, 2020.

  • Second quarter 2020 provision for credit losses was $102.4 million, compared to $73.9 million for the first quarter of 2020, and $19.2 million for the second quarter of 2019. Second quarter 2020 provision for credit losses was primarily driven by a more adverse macroeconomic forecast as of June 30, 2020, relative to March 31, 2020, as well as loan risk rating downgrades.
  • Second quarter 2020 net charge-offs were $19.2 million, or annualized 0.21% of average loans HFI, compared to first quarter 2020 net charge-offs of $0.9 million, or annualized 0.01% of average loans HFI, and net charge-offs of $7.6 million, or annualized 0.09% of average loans HFI, for the second quarter of 2019. Second quarter 2020 net charge-offs were largely from loans in the oil and gas industry.
  • Nonperforming assets were $202.2 million, or 0.41% of total assets, as of June 30, 2020, compared to nonperforming assets of $150.9 million, or 0.33% of total assets, as of March 31, 2020, and $119.3 million, or 0.28% of total assets, as of June 30, 2019. The increase in nonperforming assets was largely due to inflows to nonaccrual status of oil and gas and commercial real estate loans, partially offset by pay-offs and charge-offs of C&I loans.

(a)

The Company has elected to use the 2020 CECL transition provision in the calculation of its June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 regulatory capital ratios. The Company’s June 30, 2020 regulatory capital ratios and RWA are preliminary.

(b)

An additional 2.5% capital conservation buffer above the minimum capital ratios are required in order to avoid limitations on distributions, including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers.

(c)

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.

East West’s Board of Directors has declared third quarter 2020 dividends for the Company’s common stock. The common stock cash dividend of $0.275 per share is payable on August 17, 2020 to shareholders of record on August 4, 2020.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES & OFF-BALANCE-SHEET CREDIT EXPOSURES

($ in thousands)

(unaudited)

Table 10

ASU 2016-13 replaced the incurred loss methodology used in calculating the allowance for loan losses with a current expected credit loss model (“CECL”). The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective approach on January 1, 2020. As a result, prior comparative periods have not been adjusted for the CECL model. In addition, ASU 2016-13 introduces the concept of Purchased Credit Deteriorated (“PCD”) financial assets, which replaces purchased credit-impaired (“PCI”) assets. For PCD assets, the initial allowance for loan losses is added to the purchase price and is considered to be part of the PCD loan amortized cost basis, hence, there is no income statement impact on acquisition. This contrasts with PCI loans where allowance for loan losses only reflects losses that are incurred by the Company after the acquisition. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated each quarter and adjusted as necessary by recognizing a loan loss expense or a reversal of loan loss expense. There were no PCD loans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Table 11

The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective approach on January 1, 2020. As a result, prior comparative periods have not been adjusted. PCI loans prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13 were classified as PCD loans as of January 1, 2020. Nonaccrual loans as of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 include all loans that are 90 or more days past due, unless the loan is well-collateralized or guaranteed by government agencies, and in the process of collection. Nonaccrual loans presented as of June 30, 2019 included only Non-PCI nonaccrual loans.

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 and second quarters of 2019, the Company recorded a $7.0 million pre-tax impairment charge and reversed $30.1 million of certain previously claimed tax credits related to the DC Solar tax credit investments (“DC Solar”), respectively. 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 adjust for the above discussed non-recurring items provides clarity to financial statement users regarding the ongoing performance of the Company and allows comparability to prior periods.

Adjusted efficiency ratio represents adjusted noninterest expense divided by revenue. Adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision profitability ratio represents revenue less adjusted noninterest expense, divided by average total assets. Adjusted noninterest expense excludes the amortization of tax credit and other investments, the amortization of core deposit intangibles, and the extinguishment cost on repurchase agreements. 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.

EAST WEST BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION

($ in thousands)

(unaudited)

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 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 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.
