LOS ANGELES, Oct. 20, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BBCN Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq:BBCN), the holding company of BBCN Bank (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $21.4 million, or $0.27 per diluted common share, for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This compares with net income of $22.3 million, or $0.28 per diluted common share, for the preceding 2014 second quarter and $23.6 million, or $0.30 per diluted common share, for the year-ago third quarter.

"We had another quarter of consistent execution highlighted by steady loan growth with total new loan originations of $382 million for the quarter," said Kevin S. Kim, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BBCN Bancorp, Inc. "We continue to see good loan demand in our core California and New York/New Jersey markets, while gaining more traction in our newer markets in the Pacific Northwest and Chicago. Despite the ramp up in quarterly loan production, our overall net loan growth for the third quarter was mitigated by a higher-than-usual level of payoffs as result of a few large transactions.

"We continue to build on the foundation for the healthy long-term growth of our franchise. In addition to the progress we are making with new products and services to better diversify our business mix, we are forging ahead with our efforts to establish a presence in South Korea. We signed cooperative agreements with the City of Los Angeles and Seoul Metropolitan Government during the quarter, and we plan to open our first representative office in Seoul before year-end. We believe our presence in South Korea will significantly enhance our ability to capture more business with Korean national companies with operations in the United States. Given the consistency of our financial performance and the tangible achievements being made with our strategic initiatives, we believe the prospects for BBCN are stronger than ever," said Kim.

Operating Results for the 2014 Third 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 September 30, 2014, June 30, 2014, and September 30, 2013 include the following pre-tax acquisition accounting adjustments related to past acquisitions:

Amortization of premium on acquired time deposits 125 231 308
Increase to pre-tax income $ 6,199 $ 6,956 $ 7,201

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin. Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased 1% to $67.9 million for the 2014 third quarter from $67.5 million in the preceding second quarter of 2014 and rose 6% over $64.4 million in the prior-year third quarter. The Company attributed the increases to strong levels of loan originations which supported the expansion of its loans receivable over prior periods. Overall, average loans receivable for the 2014 third quarter rose 3% over the preceding second quarter and increased 14% over the prior-year period, when the Company acquired the former Foster Bankshares, Inc. in the middle of the 2013 third quarter.

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
9/30/2014 6/30/2014 change 9/30/2013 change
Net interest margin, excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments 3.73% 3.72% 0. 01% 3.86% (0.13)%
Acquisition accounting adjustments 0.42 0.48 (0.06) 0.56 (0.14)
Net interest margin 4.15% 4.20% (0.05)% 4.42% (0.27)%

The net interest margin for the 2014 third quarter declined 5 basis points from the preceding second quarter to 4.15%, but increased 1 basis point on a core basis, excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments.

Compared with the prior-year period, net interest margin for the 2014 third quarter declined 27 basis points, largely due to a decrease in the weighted average yield on loans. Excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments, the core net interest margin for the current third quarter declined 13 basis points from the year-ago third quarter.

The weighted average yield on loans and the impact of acquisition accounting adjustments are summarized in the following table:

Three Months Ended
9/30/2014 6/30/2014 change 9/30/2013 change
Weighted average yield on loans, excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments 4.78% 4.86% (0.08)% 4.96% (0.18)%
Acquisition accounting adjustments 0.51 0.58 (0.07) 0.67 (0.16)
Weighted average yield on loans 5.29% 5.44% (0.15)% 5.63% (0.34)%

The weighted average yield on loans for the 2014 third quarter declined 15 basis points to 5.29% from the preceding second quarter. On a core basis excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments, the weighted average yield on loans declined 8 basis points. The weighted average yield on new loans originated during the 2014 third quarter was 4.31%, compared with 4.52% in the preceding second quarter, reflecting a considerably higher contribution of variable rate loans, which are typically booked at lower rates than fixed rate loans. Variable rate loans accounted for 55% of new loan originations for the 2014 third quarter, versus 39% in the preceding second quarter. Compared with the prior-year period, the weighted average yield on loans for the 2014 third quarter decreased 34 basis points and 18 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:

9/30/2014 6/30/2014 change 9/30/2013 change
Fixed rate loans
As a percentage of total loans 51% 50% 1% 45% 1%
Weighted average contractual rate 4.79% 4.85% (0.06)% 5.16% (0.37)%
Variable rate loans
As a percentage of total loans 49% 50% (1)% 55% (6)%
Weighted average contractual rate 4.25% 4.29% (0.04)% 4.43% (0.18)%

The declines in the weighted average contractual rate for fixed rate loans for the 2014 third quarter versus prior periods reflect 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
9/30/2014 6/30/2014 change 9/30/2013 change
Weighted average cost of deposits, excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments 0.55% 0.55% −% 0.51% 0.04%
Acquisition accounting adjustments (0.01) (0.01) (0.02) 0.01
Weighted average cost of deposits 0.54% 0.54% −% 0.49% 0.05%

The weighted average cost of deposits for the 2014 third quarter was flat with the preceding second 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 2014 third quarter increased 5 basis points and rose 4 basis points on a core basis, excluding the effect of premium amortization on time deposits assumed in acquisitions.

Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income for the 2014 third quarter rose 8% to $11.4 million from $10.5 million in the preceding 2014 second quarter and was up 5% over $10.8 million in the prior-year third quarter. The Company attributed the increases largely to higher gain on sale of SBA loans, which amounted to $3.6 million for the 2014 third quarter, versus $2.8 million for the 2014 second quarter and for the 2013 third quarter.

Noninterest Expense. Total noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2014 amounted to $39.4 million, reflecting a 4% increase from $37.7 million in the preceding 2014 second quarter and an 10% increase over $35.7 million in the 2013 third quarter. The increases are largely attributed to higher compensation and credit related expenses.

Salaries and employee benefits expense for the 2014 third quarter rose 7% from the preceding second quarter and was up 17% over the prior-year third quarter, largely reflecting the increase in FTEs to support BBCN's growing franchise and progress with strategic initiatives. In addition, the Company noted that the salaries and employee benefits expense for the 2013 third quarter reflects the mid-quarter Foster acquisition. The total number of FTEs as of September 30, 2014 was 911, a 4% increase over 875 as of June 30, 2014, and a 22% increase over 831 as of September 30, 2013.

Credit related expenses, which previously were included in other expenses, amounted to $3.5 million for the 2014 third quarter, compared with $3.0 million in the preceding second quarter and $2.6 million in the year-ago third quarter.

Income Tax Provision. The effective tax rate for the 2014 third quarter was 39.8%, compared with 40.1% for the preceding 2014 second quarter and 39.1% for the 2013 third quarter.

Balance Sheet Summary

Loans receivable totaled $5.43 billion at September 30, 2014, reflecting a 2% increase over $5.35 billion at June 30, 2014, and a 7% increase year-to-date over $5.07 billion at December 31, 2013.

Total new loan originations during the third quarter of 2014 amounted to $382.3 million, including SBA loan originations of $69.7 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 $40.0 million for the third quarter of 2014, compared with $62.2 million for the preceding 2014 second quarter. During the 2014 third quarter, the Company sold $40.2 million of its SBA loans held for sale.

The robust loan production in the 2014 third quarter was largely offset by higher-than-usual aggregate pay offs and pay downs which amounted to $312.0 million for the quarter. This compares with $231.2 million for the preceding second quarter and $266.1 million for the year-ago third quarter.

Total deposits amounted to $5.51 billion at September 30, 2014, reflecting a 1% increase over $5.47 billion at June 30, 2014, and a 7% increase over $5.15 billion at year-end 2013. The increase in total deposits from June 30, 2014 reflects a 6% increase in money market account balances, which was partially offset by strategic reductions in wholesale deposits. Noninterest bearing deposits at September 30, 2014 totaled $1.50 billion and accounted for 27% of total deposits.

Credit Quality

The provision for loan losses for the 2014 third quarter was $4.3 million, compared with $3.0 million for the preceding 2014 second quarter and $744,000 for the prior-year third 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 September 30, 2014, June 30, 2014, and September 30, 2013 is as follows:

(dollars in thousands) 9/30/2014 6/30/2014 9/30/2013
Legacy Loans (1) $ 60,073 $ 58,877 $ 59,773
Acquired Performing Loans (2) 1,973 2,113 1,964
Acquired Credit Impaired Loans (2) 6,186 5,880 3,978
Total ALLL $ 68,232 $ 66,870 $ 65,715
Loans receivable $ 5,432,844 $ 5,347,057 $ 4,898,939
ALLL coverage ratio 1.26% 1.25% 1.34%
(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.

Following are the components of criticized loan balances as of September 30, 2014, June 30, 2014, and September 30, 2013:

(dollars in thousands) 9/30/2014 6/30/2014 9/30/2013
Special Mention (1) $ 113,395 $ 92,470 $ 111,631
Classified (1) $ 231,768 $ 242,258 $ 246,743
Criticized $ 345,163 $ 334,728 $ 358,374
(1) Balances include Acquired Loans which were marked to fair value on the date of acquisition.

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 loans) and accruing restructured loans.

Nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2014 declined to $39.6 million, or 0.73% of loans receivable, compared with $42.7 million, or 0.80% of loans receivable, at June 30, 2014 and $36.1 million, or 0.74% at September 30, 2013. Accruing restructured loans totaled $56.1 million at September 30, 2014, compared with $43.9 million at June 30, 2014 and $36.0 million at September 30, 2013. Total nonperforming loans at September 30, 2014 totaled $95.6 million, or 1.76% of loans receivable, compared with $86.6 million, or 1.62% of loans receivable, at June 30, 2014 and $73.1 million, or 1.49% of loans receivable, at September 30, 2013.

Nonperforming assets, including other real estate owned, amounted to $118.8 million at September 30, 2014, or 1.71% of total assets, compared with $107.2 million, or 1.56% of total assets, at June 30, 2014, and $100.7 million, or 1.59% of total assets, at September 30, 2013.

Net loan charge-offs for the 2014 third quarter totaled $2.9 million and equaled 0.21% of average loans receivable on an annualized basis. This compares with net loan charge offs of $1.8 million, or 0.14% of average loans receivable on an annualized basis, for the preceding 2014 second quarter and $6.7 million, or 0.56% of average loans receivable on an annualized basis, for the year-ago third quarter.

The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2014 was $68.2 million, or 1.26% of loans receivable (excluding loans held for sale), compared with $66.9 million, or 1.25%, at June 30, 2014 and $65.7 million, or 1.34%, at September 30, 2013. The coverage ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans (excluding acquired credit impaired loans) was 71.35% at September 30, 2014, compared with 77.26% at June 30, 2014 and 89.90% at September 30, 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 and restructured loans) totaled $130.7 million at September 30, 2014, compared with $124.2 million at June 30, 2014 and $99.2 million at September 30, 2013.

Tangible common equity per share (1) $9.49 $9.34 $8.52
Tangible common equity to tangible assets (1) 11.07% 10.99% 10.87%
(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.
