LOS ANGELES, April 21, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BBCN Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq:BBCN), the holding company of BBCN Bank (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $22.2 million, or $0.28 per diluted common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This compares with net income of $18.1 million, or $0.23 per diluted common share, for the preceding 2013 fourth quarter and $17.5 million, or $0.22 per diluted common share, for the year-ago first quarter.
"We are very pleased to have started off 2014 with another strong quarter of loan production, which, together with the benefits from the two acquisitions completed last year, contributed to a 10% increase in revenue generation over the prior-year period," said Kevin S. Kim, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BBCN Bancorp, Inc. "We originated more than $298 million in new loans during the first quarter of 2014, reflecting a 35% increase over the first quarter a year ago. We attribute the robust levels of originations to the dedicated efforts of our skilled relationship managers on our lending teams and our leadership as the dominant Korean-American bank in all five of our core geographic markets. We continue to maintain a high level of profitability, with our annualized pre-tax, pre-provision earnings representing 2.44% of average assets, which is resulting in a significant amount of capital being generated for reinvestment in the Company. Looking forward into 2014, we believe BBCN is well positioned with a best-in-class executive management team and an expanding product and service offering to further the growth of our franchise for the benefit of our customers, employees and shareholders."

Operating Results for the First Quarter of 2014
The comparability of BBCN's operating results with past performance is impacted by acquisition accounting adjustments related to past acquisitions. The Company provides the following supplemental information to facilitate a better understanding of past financial performance. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013 include the following pre-tax acquisition accounting adjustments related to mergers:
| Three Months Ended | |||

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin. Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2014 totaled $65.0 million, compared with $66.9 million in the preceding fourth quarter of 2013. The Company attributed the decline largely to a decline in the net interest margin. Compared with prior-year first quarter, net interest income before provision for loan losses for the current first quarter increased 9%, largely reflecting a 14% increase in the average interest earning assets.
The net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) and the impact of acquisition accounting adjustments are summarized in the following table:
| Three Months Ended | |||||
| 3/31/2014 | 12/31/2013 | change | 3/31/2013 | change | |
| Net interest margin, excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments | 3.82% | 3.87% | (0.05)% | 3.97% | (0.15)% |
| Acquisition accounting adjustments | 0.47 | 0.58 | (0.11) | 0.52 | (0.05) |
| Net interest margin | 4.29% | 4.45% | (0.16)% | 4.49% | (0.20)% |
The net interest margin for the 2014 first quarter decreased 16 basis points from the preceding 2013 fourth quarter to 4.29%. On a core basis, excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments, the net interest margin for the 2014 first quarter decreased only 5 basis points from the preceding 2013 fourth quarter.
Compared with the prior-year period, net interest margin for the 2014 first quarter declined 20 basis points. Excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments, the core net interest margin for the first quarter of 2014 declined 15 basis points from the year-ago period.
The Company largely attributed the declines in the net interest margin from the comparable periods to decreases in the weighted average yield on loans.
The weighted average yield on loans and the impact of acquisition accounting adjustments are summarized in the following table:
| Three Months Ended | |||||
| 3/31/2014 | 12/31/2013 | change | 3/31/2013 | change | |
| Weighted average yield on loans, excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments | 4.83% | 4.90% | (0.07)% | 5.15% | (0.32)% |
| Acquisition accounting adjustments | 0.54 | 0.69 | (0.15) | 0.60 | 0.06 |
| Weighted average yield on loans | 5.37% | 5.59% | (0.22)% | 5.75% | (0.38)% |
The weighted average yield on loans for the 2014 first quarter decreased 22 basis points from the preceding 2013 fourth quarter, but decreased only 7 basis points on a core basis when excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments. The weighted average yield on new loans originated during the 2014 first quarter was 4.53%, reflecting a 3 basis point increase from 4.50% for the preceding 2013 fourth quarter. Compared with the prior-year period, the weighted average yield on loans for the 2014 first quarter decreased 38 basis points and 32 basis points on a core basis, excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments.
The composition of fixed and variable rate loans and the associated weighted average contractual rates are summarized in the following table:
| 3/31/2014 | 12/31/2013 | change | 3/31/2013 | change | |
| Fixed rate loans | |||||
| As a percentage of total loans | 49% | 48% | 2% | 40% | 23% |
| Weighted average contractual rate | 4.90% | 4.99% | (0.09)% | 5.47% | (0.57)% |
| Variable rate loans | |||||
| As a percentage of total loans | 51% | 52% | (2)% | 60% | (15)% |
| Weighted average contractual rate | 4.33% | 4.37% | (0.04)% | 4.49% | (0.16)% |
The decrease in the weighted average contractual rate for fixed rate loans for the 2014 first quarter reflects what continues to be a highly competitive rate environment for fixed rate commercial real estate loans in the current interest rate environment.
The weighted average cost of deposits and the impact of acquisition accounting adjustments are summarized in the following table:
| Three Months Ended | |||||
| 3/31/2014 | 12/31/2013 | change | 3/31/2013 | change | |
| Weighted average cost of deposits, excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments | 0.55% | 0.52% | 0.03% | 0.53% | 0.02% |
| Acquisition accounting adjustments | (0.03) | (0.02) | (0.01) | (0.04) | 0.01 |
| Weighted average cost of deposits | 0.52% | 0.50% | 0.02% | 0.49% | 0.03% |
The weighted average cost of deposits for the 2014 first quarter was relatively stable with the preceding fourth quarter, up 2 basis points on a reported basis and up 3 basis points on a core basis, excluding the effect of amortization of premium on time deposits assumed in mergers. Compared with the prior-year period, the weighted average cost of deposits for the 2014 first quarter increased 3 basis points and increased 2 basis points on a core basis, excluding the effect of premium amortization on time deposits assumed in mergers.
Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income for the 2014 first quarter amounted to $11.1 million, reflecting a 2% decrease from $11.4 million in the preceding 2013 fourth quarter and a 12% increase over $9.9 million in the prior-year first quarter. The modest decrease in noninterest income from the preceding quarter was primarily attributable lower levels of service fees on deposit accounts and other income and fees. The increase in total noninterest income for the 2014 first quarter over the prior-year period predominantly reflects higher levels of service fees on deposit accounts as a result of the Foster and Pacific International acquisitions.
Noninterest Expense. Total noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2014 amounted to $36.3 million, reflecting a 5% decrease from $38.2 million in the preceding 2013 fourth quarter and a 9% increase over $33.3 million in the prior-year first quarter. Salaries and benefits expense for the 2014 first quarter included separation payments related to the retirement of the Bank's former chief executive officer. Compared with the prior-year first quarter, the increase in salaries and benefits expense reflects the increase in FTEs related to Foster, as well as the full quarter impact of the Pacific International the acquisition completed February 15, 2013. The total number of FTEs was 860 as of March 31, 2014, 835 as of December 31, 2013, and 762 as of March 31, 2013.
In addition, the Company noted that total noninterest expenses include merger and integration related expenses, which totaled $173,000, $2.5 million, and $1.3 million for the 2014 first quarter, the 2013 fourth quarter and 2013 first quarter, respectively. Merger and integration related expenses for the 2014 first quarter included miscellaneous expenses associated with the integration of Foster Bankshares.
Income Tax Provision. The effective tax rate for the 2014 first quarter was 39.6%, compared with 37.9% for the preceding 2013 fourth quarter and 39.5% for the 2013 first quarter.
Balance Sheet Summary
Loans receivable totaled $5.19 billion at March 31, 2014, reflecting a 2% increase over $5.07 billion at December 31, 2013, and an increase of 15% over $4.50 billion a year earlier at March 31, 2013.
Total new loan originations during the first quarter of 2014 amounted to $296.7 million, including SBA loan originations of $42.3 million. Sales of SBA loans to the secondary market and gains derived from those sales are based substantially on the production of SBA 7(a) loans. Production of SBA 7(a) loans amounted to $38.1 million for the first quarter of 2014, compared with $35.5 million for the preceding 2013 fourth quarter. During the 2014 first quarter, the Company sold $30.3 million of its SBA loans held for sale.
Aggregate pay offs and pay downs during the 2014 first quarter amounted to $195.9 million, compared with $209.7 million for the preceding fourth quarter and $154.5 million for the year-ago first quarter.
Total deposits amounted to $5.33 billion at March 31, 2014, compared with $5.15 billion at December 31, 2013 and $4.56 billion a year earlier at March 31, 2013. The increase from the end of the prior quarter is attributed to increases across all deposit categories with the exception of savings deposits. Noninterest bearing deposits at March 31, 2014 totaled $1.44 billion and accounted for 27% of total deposits.
Credit Quality
The provision for loan losses for the 2014 first quarter was $3.0 million, compared with $11.0 million for the preceding 2013 fourth quarter and $7.5 million for the prior-year first quarter.
For a more detailed understanding of the changes in the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses ("ALLL"), the composition of the ALLL has been segmented for disclosure purposes between loans accounted for under the amortized cost method (referred to as "Legacy Loans") and loans acquired through the Center Financial, Pacific International and Foster transactions (referred to as "Acquired Loans"). The Acquired Loans are further segregated between performing and credit impaired loans.
The composition of the ALLL as of March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013, and March 31, 2013 is as follows:
| (dollars in thousands) | 3/31/2014 | 12/31/2013 | 3/31/2013 |
| Legacy Loans (1) | $ 58,203 | $ 59,978 | $ 62,469 |
| Acquired Performing Loans (2) | 1,937 | 2,564 | 6,265 |
| Acquired Credit Impaired Loans (2) | 5,560 | 4,778 | 4,534 |
| Total ALLL | $ 65,700 | $ 67,320 | $ 73,268 |
| Loans receivable | $ 5,190,795 | $ 5,074,176 | $ 4,500,046 |
| ALLL coverage ratio | 1.27% | 1.33% | 1.63% |
|
(1) Legacy Loans include loans originated by the Bank's predecessor bank, loans originated by BBCN and loans that were acquired and that have been refinanced as new loans. |
|
(2) Acquired Loans were marked to fair value at acquisition date, and the allowance for loan losses reflect provisions for credit deterioration since the acquisition date. |

The Company defines nonperforming loans to include delinquent loans past due 90 days or more on nonaccrual status, plus delinquent loans past due 90 days or more on accrual status (excluding acquired credit impaired loan balances) and accruing restructured loans. Nonperforming loans at March 31, 2014 totaled $84.8 million, or 1.63% of loans receivable. This includes the addition of an aggregate $4.2 commercial credit relationship, which was downgraded to nonaccrual status during the 2014 first quarter, but for which a $2.6 million specific reserve was established and subsequently included in the Company's 2013 fourth quarter financial results, as previously reported. Following a $3.0 million charge off related to this credit, a $1.2 million outstanding balance remains in nonaccrual. In comparison, nonperforming loans totaled $73.1 million, or 1.44% of loans receivable, at December 31, 2013 and $74.5 million, or 1.66% of loans receivable, at March 31, 2013.
Nonperforming assets, including other real estate owned, amounted to $104.8 million at March 31, 2014, or 1.57% of total assets, compared with $97.4 million, or 1.50% of total assets, at December 31, 2013 and $82.9 million, or 1.42% of total assets, at March 31, 2013.
Net loan charge-offs for the 2014 first quarter totaled $4.6 million, including the $3.0 million charge off mentioned above, and equaled 0.36% of average loans on an annualized basis. This compares with net loan charge offs of $9.3 million, or 0.75% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the preceding 2013 fourth quarter and $1.2 million, or 0.11% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the year-ago first quarter.
The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2014 was $65.7 million, or 1.27% of gross loans receivable (excluding loans held for sale), compared with $67.3 million, or 1.33%, at December 31, 2013 and $73.3 million, or 1.63%, at March 31, 2013. The coverage ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans (excluding acquired loans past due 90 days or more on accrual status) was 77.44% at March 31, 2014, compared with 92.14% at December 31, 2013 and 98.32% at March 31, 2013.
Impaired loans (defined as loans for which it is probable that not all principal and interest payments due will be collected in accordance with the contractual terms) totaled $121.8 million at March 31, 2014, compared with $116.3 million at December 31, 2013 and $102.0 million at March 31, 2013.

| Tangible common equity per share (1) | $9.08 | $8.79 | $8.57 |
| Tangible common equity to tangible assets (1) | 11.00% | 10.97% | 11.77% |
| (1) Tangible common equity to tangible assets is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents common equity less goodwill and net other intangible assets divided by total assets less goodwill and net other intangible assets. Management reviews tangible common equity to tangible assets in evaluating the Company's capital levels and has included this ratio in response to market participant interest in tangible common equity as a measure of capital. The accompanying financial information includes a reconciliation of the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets with stockholders' equity and total assets. |
