LOS ANGELES, July 20, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BBCN Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ:BBCN), the holding company of BBCN Bank (the "Bank"), today reported strong financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Net income for the 2015 second quarter increased 7% to $22.9 million, or $0.29 per diluted common share, compared with $21.4 million, or $0.27 per diluted common share, for the preceding 2015 first quarter and $22.3 million, or $0.28 per diluted common share, for the year-ago second quarter.

"Financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2015 reflect solid execution across all areas of our business operations," said Kevin S. Kim, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BBCN Bancorp, Inc. "Earnings for the second quarter benefited from a 4 basis point expansion in our net interest margin, including a special one-time dividend by the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, and a concerted focus on expense management. In addition, we made good progress again this quarter with credit recoveries, which contributed to lower-than-projected provision requirements, notwithstanding our loan growth. New loan originations continue to be robust amounting to $360 million for the 2015 second quarter, and our pipeline continues to build. While total deposit balances are down, we are pleased with the more favorable mix, with noninterest bearing deposits increasing 4% during the quarter and accounting for 29% of overall deposits at quarter end.

"We are particularly pleased with the strength and consistency of our financial performance as we continue to transform BBCN into a more diversified financial institution. While we recognize that it will take commitment and time to grow our new business lines to become meaningful contributors to our overall business, we believe these initiatives will significantly enhance BBCN's ability to sustain earnings growth for the long term. Ultimately, it is our goal to deliver greater value to our customers, employees and shareholders as the premier Korean-American Bank in the nation, and we look forward to keeping everyone apprised of our ongoing progress," said Kim.

Operating Results for the 2015 Second Quarter

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 June 30, 2015, March 31, 2015, and June 30, 2014 include the following pre-tax acquisition accounting adjustments related to past acquisitions:

(dollars in thousands) Three Months Ended
  6/30/2015 3/31/2015 6/30/2014
Accretion of discount on acquired performing loans $2,515 $2,183 $4,575

Amortization of premium on acquired time deposits 49 75 231
Increase to pre-tax income $4,435 $3,866 $6,956

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin. Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the 2015 second quarter increased 3% to $67.4 million from $65.1 million in the preceding 2015 first quarter, reflecting higher interest and fees on loans as a result of a 2% increase in average loans receivable, along with a $923,400 special dividend from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco ("FHLB"). Compared with the prior-year period, net interest income before provision for loan losses was relatively flat versus $67.5 million, as diminishing acquisition accounting adjustments and lower yields on interest earning assets offset the benefit of a 9% increase in average loans receivable.

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
  6/30/2015 3/31/2015 change 6/30/2014 change
Net interest margin, excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments 3.63% 3.61% 0.02% 3.72% (0.09)%
Acquisition accounting adjustments 0.28 0.26 0.02 0.48 (0.20)
Net interest margin 3.91% 3.87% 0.04% 4.20% (0.29)%

The net interest margin for the 2015 second quarter increased 4 basis points from the preceding first quarter to 3.91%, and increased 2 basis points on a core basis when excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments, largely reflecting the benefit of the special FHLB dividend.

Compared with the prior-year period, net interest margin for the 2015 second quarter declined 29 basis points, but decreased only 9 basis points when excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments. The Company attributed the year-over-year decrease in net interest margin largely to declines 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
  6/30/2015 3/31/2015 change 6/30/2014 change
Weighted average yield on loans, excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments 4.64% 4.71% (0.07)% 4.86% (0.22)%
Acquisition accounting adjustments 0.34 0.32 0.02 0.58 (0.24)
Weighted average yield on loans 4.98% 5.03% (0.05)% 5.44% (0.46)%

The weighted average yield on loans for the 2015 second quarter declined 5 basis points to 4.98% from the preceding 2015 first quarter and 7 basis points on a core basis excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments. The weighted average yield on new loans originated during the 2015 second quarter rebounded to 4.29% from 4.07% in the preceding first quarter, which included higher origination levels of commercial loans and variable rate loans. Variable rate loans, which typically have lower initial rates than fixed rate loans, accounted for 51% of new loan originations for the 2015 second quarter, versus 68% in the preceding first quarter.

Compared with the prior-year period, the weighted average yield on loans decreased 46 basis points and 22 basis points on a core basis, excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments.

The weighted average cost of deposits and the impact of acquisition accounting adjustments are summarized in the following table:

  Three Months Ended
  6/30/2015 3/31/2015 change 6/30/2014 change
Weighted average cost of deposits, excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments 0.56% 0.56% —% 0.55% 0.01%
Acquisition accounting adjustments (0.01) (0.01) (0.01)
Weighted average cost of deposits 0.55% 0.55% —% 0.54% 0.01%

The weighted average cost of deposits for the 2015 second quarter was flat with the preceding first quarter both on a reported basis and on a core basis, excluding the effect of amortization of premium on time deposits assumed in acquisitions. Compared with the prior-year period, the weighted average cost of deposits for the 2015 second quarter increased one basis point both on a reported basis and on a core basis, excluding the effect of premium amortization on time deposits assumed in acquisitions.

Noninterest Income Noninterest income for the 2015 second quarter totaled $10.6 million, compared with $11.2 million in the preceding 2015 first quarter. Aside from regular fluctuations in other income and fees, the Company posted no gains on sales of securities available for sale in the 2015 second quarter, versus a gain of $424,000 in the preceding first quarter.

Noninterest income for the 2015 second quarter increased modestly when compared with $10.5 million in the prior-year period. The variance reflects industry-wide reductions in service fees on deposits due to regulatory changes, offset by a higher gain on sale of SBA loans in the 2015 second quarter, which amounted to $3.1 million, versus $2.8 million for the year-ago second quarter.

Noninterest Expense.  Total noninterest expense for the 2015 second quarter declined 1% to $38.7 million from $39.2 million in the preceding first quarter, but increased 3% over $37.7 million in the second quarter a year ago.

Salaries and employee benefits expense for the 2015 second quarter declined 1% from the preceding first quarter, but increased 15% over the 2014 second quarter. The total number of FTEs as of June 30, 2015 was 927, versus 933 at March 31, 2015 and 875 as of June 30, 2014.

Income Tax Provision. The effective tax rate for the 2015 second quarter was 40.0%, compared with 40.0% for the preceding 2015 first quarter and 40.1% for the 2014 second quarter.

Balance Sheet Summary

Loans receivable totaled $5.82 billion at June 30, 2015, reflecting a 2% increase over $5.71 billion at March 31, 2015, and a 9% increase over $5.35 billion at June 30, 2014.

Total new loan originations during the second quarter of 2015 amounted to $360.2 million, including SBA loan originations of $70.3 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 $58.3 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared with $42.9 million for the preceding 2015 first quarter.  During the 2015 second quarter, the Company sold $34.2 million of its SBA loans held for sale.

Aggregate pay offs and pay downs for the 2015 second quarter amounted to $216.5 million, compared with $166.3 million for the preceding 2015 first quarter and $231.2 million for the year-ago second quarter.

Total deposits declined 1% to $5.76 billion at June 30, 2015 from $5.80 billion at March 31, 2015, reflecting increases in noninterest bearing demand deposits, money market accounts and savings deposits, offset by outflows in jumbo time deposits. Noninterest bearing deposits rose 4% during the 2015 second quarter and increased as a percentage of total deposits to 29% at June 30, 2015 from 28% at March 31, 2015. Compared with June 30, 2014, total deposits increased 5% over $5.47 billion.

Credit Quality

The provision for loan losses for the 2015 second quarter was $1.0 million, compared with $1.5 million for the preceding 2015 first quarter and $3.0 million for the prior-year second 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 June 30, 2015, March 31, 2015, and June 30, 2014 is as follows:

(dollars in thousands) 6/30/2015 3/31/2015 6/30/2014
Legacy Loans (1) $55,563 $55,397 $58,877
Acquired Loans - Performing (2) 1,908 1,550 2,113
Acquired Loans - Credit Impaired (2) 12,647 12,647 5,880
Total ALLL $70,118 $69,594 $66,870
       
Loans Receivable $5,815,824 $5,710,639 $5,347,057
ALLL coverage ratio 1.21% 1.22% 1.25%
       
(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.
