Wilshire Bancorp Reports Net Income of $15.1 Million or $0.19 per Share for Third Quarter 2014


LOS ANGELES, Oct. 20, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wilshire Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq:WIBC) (the "Company"), the holding company for Wilshire Bank (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $15.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. This compares to net income of $11.3 million, or $0.16 per diluted common share, for the same period of the prior year, and net income of $14.7 million, or $0.19 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2014.

Jae Whan (J.W.) Yoo, President and CEO of Wilshire Bancorp, said, "We had an outstanding quarter from a business development standpoint, generating almost $400 million in loan originations, which is a record level for the Company. It is important to note that we had contributions from all of our major lending areas including commercial real estate, commercial, SBA, and residential mortgages. As a result of our strong loan production, our total loan portfolio increased at an annualized rate of 27% during the third quarter. The performance is a testament to the highly productive marketing team we have developed at Wilshire, which has been strengthened by the addition of experienced business development officers from our BankAsiana and Saehan acquisitions. We are very pleased that we have been able to generate this growth in our loan portfolio, while continuing to see declining levels of problem assets, which underscores our commitment to maintaining a strong credit culture. We continue to have a healthy pipeline of attractive lending opportunities, which should enable us to continue our positive trends over the rest of 2014."

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

Net interest income before provision for losses on loans and loan commitments totaled $36.8 million for the third quarter of 2014, an increase of 38% from $26.7 million for the third quarter of 2013, and an increase of 2% from $36.1 million for the second quarter of 2014. The increase from the prior quarter is primarily attributable to a higher average loan balance and an increase in acquired loan discount accretion income. Discount accretion income from loans acquired from Saehan Bancorp and BankAsiana totaled $2.9 million for the third quarter of 2014, compared to $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2014.

Net interest margin was 4.26% for the third quarter of 2014, compared to 4.35% for the second quarter of 2014, and 4.08% for the third quarter of 2013. Excluding the effect of the amortization/accretion of the purchase accounting adjustments for the acquisitions for Saehan Bancorp and BankAsiana, the net interest margin was 3.89% for the third quarter of 2014, compared with 4.00% for the second quarter of 2014. The decrease in net interest margin is attributable to a decrease in average yield on loans, excluding the effects of purchase accounting adjustments, and an increase in the cost of deposits.

Loan yields were 5.12% for the third quarter of 2014, compared with 5.20% for the second quarter of 2014, and 5.05% for the third quarter of 2013. Excluding the effect of the accretion of the purchase accounting adjustments for Saehan Bancorp and BankAsiana, loan yields were 4.74% for the third quarter of 2014, compared to 4.85% for the second quarter of 2014.

The total cost of deposits was 0.53% for the third quarter of 2014, compared with 0.48% for the second quarter of 2014 and 0.53% for the third quarter of 2013.

Non-Interest Income

Total non-interest income was $9.6 million for the third quarter of 2014, compared to $7.8 million for the third quarter of 2013, and $10.7 million for the second quarter of 2014. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily due a lower net gain on sale of Small Business Administration ("SBA") loans, which was partially offset by an increase in other real estate owned ("OREO") rental and other miscellaneous income.

The $2.4 million in net gain on sale of loans recognized during the third quarter of 2014 consisted substantially of gains from the sale of SBA loans. Net gain on sale of loans for the second quarter of 2014 was $4.7 million. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company sold $20.3 million in SBA loans, compared with $45.3 million sold during the second quarter of 2014.

Non-Interest Expense

Total non-interest expense was $23.2 million for the third quarter of 2014, compared with $17.8 million for the third quarter of 2013, and $24.6 million for the second quarter of 2014. The reduction in non-interest expense from the prior quarter was primarily attributable to fewer merger-related expenses and a reduction in impairment charge to the Company's FDIC indemnification asset.

Total salaries and employee benefits expense was $12.3 million for the third quarter of 2014, compared with $8.8 million for the third quarter of 2013, and $12.4 million for the second quarter of 2014. 

Other non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2014 totaled $6.4 million, compared with $6.3 million in the third quarter of 2013, and $7.1 million for the second quarter of 2014. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily attributable to a reduction in OREO and low income housing investment-related expenses.

The Company's operating efficiency ratio was 50.1% for the third quarter of 2014, compared with 51.7% for the third quarter of 2013, and 52.4% for the second quarter of 2014. 

BALANCE SHEET

Total gross loans receivable (not including deferred fees and costs) were $3.17 billion at September 30, 2014, compared to $2.98 billion at June 30, 2014. The increase in loans during the third quarter of 2014 was driven by growth in the real estate secured and commercial & industrial portfolios.

Originations for the third quarter of 2014 totaled $399.2 million, compared to $282.0 million for the second quarter of 2014, and $214.3 million for the third quarter of 2013.  The increase from the previous quarter was primarily due to higher real estate secured, commercial and residential mortgage loan production.

Total SBA loans held-for-sale at the end of the third quarter of 2014 were $16.2 million, compared to $5.1 million at the end of the previous quarter.  The decision to retain or sell SBA loans is made on a quarter-to-quarter basis, depending on prevailing pricing in the secondary market and the Company's liquidity needs.

Total deposits were $3.19 billion at September 30, 2014, compared with $2.96 billion at June 30, 2014. The increase in total deposits was primarily attributable to growth in time deposits, which was partially offset by a decrease in non-interest bearing demand deposits and savings and interest checking deposits. 

CREDIT QUALITY

The Company had net loan recoveries during the third quarter of 2014 and experienced a continued decline in criticized and classified loans, while non-accrual loans increased by $2.5 million as previously identified problem loans continued to progress toward resolution. Due to the continued low level of loss experience and decline in total problem loans, the Company determined that no provision for losses on loans and loan commitments was required for the third quarter of 2014.   The allowance for loan losses totaled $53.1 million, or 1.67% of gross loans (excluding loans held-for-sale), at September 30, 2014, compared to $52.7 million, or 1.77% of gross loans (excluding loans held-for-sale), at June 30, 2014.  Acquired loans, included in the allowance coverage ratios, were recorded at fair value and the remaining discount on these loans was approximately $24.7 million at September 30, 2014. The coverage ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing assets was 103.2% at September 30, 2014, compared with 107.4% at June 30, 2014.

Non-Performing Loans

At September 30, 2014, total non-performing loans were $44.9 million, or 1.41% of total gross loans, compared to $42.4 million, or 1.42% of total gross loans, at June 30, 2014.
