EAST WEST BANCORP REPORTS NET INCOME FOR THIRD QUARTER 2018
OF $171 MILLION AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE OF $1.17, BOTH UP BY 29% YEAR-OVER-YEAR


Pasadena, California October 18, 2018 - 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 third quarter of 2018. For the third quarter of 2018, net income was $171 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, up by 29% year-over-year compared to $133 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2017. Third quarter 2018 return on average assets of 1.76%, return on average equity of 16.2% and return on average tangible1 equity of 18.5% were all up significantly year-over-year.

“Total loans grew $968 million, or 13% annualized, to a record $31.2 billion as of September 30, 2018 from $30.2 billion as of June 30, 2018,” stated Dominic Ng, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of East West. “Total deposits grew $853 million, or 10% annualized, to a record $33.6 billion as of September 30, 2018 from $32.8 billion as of June 30, 2018.”

“Driven by our sustained loan growth, net interest income reached a record $349 million in the third quarter of 2018, an increase of 2% quarter-over-quarter and 15% year-over-year,” continued Ng. “Our current quarter adjusted2 efficiency ratio of 39.9% was stable compared to the prior quarter. For the third quarter of 2018, our adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision income3 was $238 million, an increase of 1% quarter-over-quarter and an increase of 13% year-over-year.”

“In conclusion, with year-to-date results of strong loan growth and an expanding net interest margin, we are on track for another year of record earnings for 2018. Our net interest income continues to reach higher levels quarter after quarter, and our attractive profitability remains a valued proposition for shareholders,” concluded Ng.

HIGHLIGHTS OF RESULTS

Quarterly Earnings Third quarter 2018 net income of $171.3 million and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $1.17 both decreased by 1% compared to second quarter 2018 net income of $172.3 million and diluted EPS of $1.18. Net income and EPS both grew by 29% year-over-year.

Net Interest Income Growth and Net Interest Margin Third quarter 2018 net interest income was $348.7 million, a quarterly increase of $7.0 million, or 2%. Net interest income growth primarily reflected loan growth and loan yield expansion, partially offset by growth in time deposits and an increase in the cost of deposits. Third quarter 2018 net interest margin (“NIM”) of 3.76% declined by seven basis points linked quarter. Net interest income grew by 15% year-over-year, and NIM expanded by 24 basis points year-over-year.

Record Loans Total loans of $31.2 billion as of September 30, 2018 were up $968.3 million, or 13% linked quarter annualized, from $30.2 billion as of June 30, 2018. The largest increase in loans this quarter was in commercial and industrial loans, followed by single-family mortgages. Total loans grew by 9% year-over-year.

Record Deposits Total deposits of $33.6 billion as of September 30, 2018 were up $853.0 million, or 10% linked quarter annualized, from $32.8 billion as of June 30, 2018. The sequential quarter growth was largely from an increase in time deposits. Total deposits grew by 7% year-over-year.

Asset Quality Metrics The allowance for loan losses was $310.0 million, or 0.99% of loans held-for-investment (“HFI”), as of September 30, 2018, compared to $301.6 million, or 1.00% of loans HFI, as of June 30, 2018. For the third quarter of 2018, annualized net charge-offs were 0.05% of average loans HFI, compared to annualized net charge-offs of 0.14% of average loans HFI for the previous quarter. Non-purchased credit impaired (“Non-PCI”) nonperforming assets were $114.6 million, or 0.29% of total assets, as of September 30, 2018, compared to $103.5 million, or 0.27% of total assets, as of June 30, 2018.

Capital Levels Capital levels for East West continue to be strong. As of September 30, 2018, stockholders’ equity was $4.2 billion, or $29.29 per share. Tangible equity4 per common share was $25.91 as of September 30, 2018, an increase of 4% linked quarter and 14% year-over-year. As of September 30, 2018, the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio4 was 9.73%, the Common Equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) capital ratio was 12.3%, and the total risk-based capital ratio was 13.8%.

MANAGEMENT OUTLOOK FOR 2018

We have updated our outlook for the full year 2018. We are lowering our anticipated provision for credit losses, narrowing our expected expense growth range, and adjusting the tax rate.

The revised items are as follows:
Provision for credit losses to range from $60 million to $65 million (lowered from a range of $70 million to $80 million, previously).
Noninterest expense, excluding amortization of tax credit investments and core deposit intangibles, to increase by approximately 9% year-over-year (narrowed from a percentage rate change in the high single digits, previously).
Projecting full year effective tax rate of approximately 14% (versus 13%, previously). Other tax items are unchanged: investment in tax-advantaged credits, excluding low income housing tax credits, of $115 million and associated tax credit amortization expense of $100 million for the full year.

We continue to expect end-of-period loans to increase by approximately 10% year-over-year; and anticipate full year net interest margin, excluding the impact of ASC 310-30 discount accretion income, to be approximately 3.75%.

OPERATING RESULTS SUMMARY

Third Quarter 2018 Compared to Second Quarter 2018

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income totaled $348.7 million, a 2% increase from $341.7 million. Net interest margin decreased by seven basis points to 3.76% from 3.83%.
Excluding the impact of ASC 310-30 discount accretion, adjusted5 net interest income of $345.9 million increased by 3% and adjusted5 NIM of 3.72% declined by 4 basis points. ASC 310-30 discount accretion income was $2.9 million, a decline from $6.3 million last quarter.
Average loans of $30.5 billion grew by $851.3 million, or 11% linked quarter annualized.
Average deposits of $33.2 billion grew by $864.8 million, or 11% linked quarter annualized.
The yield on loans expanded by seven basis points to 5.02% from 4.95%.
The yield on earning assets expanded by six basis points to 4.55% from 4.49%.
The cost of deposits increased by 14 basis points to 0.78% from 0.64%.
The cost of funds increased by 15 basis points to 0.86% from 0.71%.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income totaled $46.5 million, a decrease of $1.8 million or 4% from $48.3 million. Excluding the impact of all gains on sales, total fees and other operating income of $41.9 million in the third quarter of 2018 decreased by 6% from $44.6 million.
Decrease in derivative fees and other income reflected a lower volume of customer transactions, which was partially offset by an increase in the fair value of interest rate swaps.
Decrease in letters of credit fees and foreign exchange income reflected a decline in mark-to-market revaluations for foreign currency balance sheet items.

The following table presents total fees and other operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2018, June 30, 2018, and September 30, 2017.

Adjusted noninterest expense of $157.7 million increased by $2.1 million, or 1%, linked quarter. The increase in noninterest expense compared to the prior quarter was mostly due to an increase in compensation and employee benefits, as well as an increase in other operating expenses, partially offset by decreases in consulting and legal expenses.
The adjusted efficiency ratio was unchanged at 39.9% in the third quarter compared to the prior quarter.

GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION
($ and shares in thousands, except for per share data)
(unaudited)
Table 12
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
During the first quarter of 2017, the Company consummated a sale and leaseback transaction on a commercial property and recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of $71.7 million. During the third quarter of 2017, the Company sold its insurance brokerage business, East West Insurance Services, Inc. (“EWIS”) and recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of $3.8 million. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company sold its Desert Community Bank (“DCB”) branches and recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of $31.5 million. 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 exclude the impact of after-tax gains on the sales of the commercial property, EWIS business and DCB branches (where applicable) 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 adjusted revenue. Adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision profitability ratio represents the aggregate of adjusted revenue less adjusted noninterest expense, divided by average total assets. Adjusted revenue represents the aggregate of net interest income and adjusted noninterest income, where adjusted noninterest income excludes the gains on the sales of the commercial property, EWIS business and DCB branches that were sold in the first quarter of 2017, third quarter of 2017 and first quarter of 2018, respectively (where applicable). Adjusted noninterest expense excludes the amortization of tax credit and other investments and the amortization of core deposit intangibles. 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.

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.
