LOS ANGELES, April 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hanmi Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: HAFC, or “Hanmi”), the parent company of Hanmi Bank (the “Bank”), today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2026.
Net income for the first quarter of 2026 was $22.6 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, compared with $21.2 million, or $0.70 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2025. The return on average assets for the first quarter was 1.18% and the return on average equity was 10.86%, compared with a return on average assets of 1.07% and a return on average equity of 10.14% for the fourth quarter of 2025.
CEO Commentary
“Hanmi delivered strong results in the first quarter, reflecting the effective execution of our growth strategy,” said Bonnie Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We saw several positive trends, including 7.2% annualized deposit growth, net interest margin expansion, and stable expense levels. This contributed to 6.2% growth in net income, an ROAA of 1.18%, and further strengthened our capital ratios. These results underscore the success of our relationship-driven banking model.”
“Consistent with our strategy, we further diversified our loan portfolio where C&I loans reached 17.6% of total loans and C&I loan production increased 64% from new banking relationships. Our asset quality remained excellent, with nonperforming assets falling by 38%, to 0.16% of total assets.”
“Based on our first quarter performance and the strong pipeline we have for both loans and deposits, we expect these positive trends in key areas to continue, and we remain confident in our ability to deliver strong financial performance for our shareholders in 2026,” concluded Lee.
First Quarter 2026 Highlights:
Net income was $22.6 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, up 6.2% from the fourth quarter, driven by continued growth in net interest income and margin, higher gains from sales of SBA loans, well-controlled noninterest expenses, and a lower effective tax rate. Return on average assets and return on average equity during the quarter were healthy at 1.18% and 10.86%, respectively.
Deposits increased 1.8% to $6.8 billion from the prior quarter and noninterest-bearing demand deposits remained stable at approximately 30% of total deposits.
Loan production increased by 0.8% to $377.9 million from the prior quarter, driven primarily by a 64% increase in commercial and industrial loan production. New loans had a weighted average interest rate of 6.54% compared to a weighted average interest rate of 6.21% for payoffs.
Net interest income continued to grow, increasing 0.5% from the prior quarter, due primarily to lower interest expense as the average rate on interest-bearing deposits declined 16 basis points. Net interest margin increased ten basis points to 3.38%, due primarily to lower rates on interest-bearing deposits.
Asset quality remained strong as nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.16%, an improvement of ten basis points from the prior quarter, and nonperforming loans to total loans was 0.19%, an improvement of nine basis points from the prior quarter.
Hanmi capital ratios strengthened further as tangible common equity to tangible assets improved 12 basis points to 10.11% and the common equity tier 1 capital ratio improved 15 basis points to 12.20%. Simultaneously, Hanmi returned $13.4 million of capital to shareholders in the form of dividends of $8.6 million and share repurchases of $4.8 million.

Results of Operations
Net interest income increased $0.3 million, or 0.5%, to $63.2 million for the first quarter of 2026, from $62.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, principally because of lower interest expense on interest-bearing deposits, which declined by $3.2 million from the fourth quarter. Interest income on loans for the first quarter, however, also declined by $2.7 million from the previous quarter. A $0.5 million special dividend on FHLB stock and a $0.7 million decline in interest income on securities and other interest-earning assets account for the remaining difference.
Net interest margin (taxable equivalent) improved by ten basis points to 3.38% for the first quarter of 2026, from 3.28% for the fourth quarter of 2025. The increase in net interest margin primarily reflected the 16-basis point decline in the cost of interest-bearing deposits.
The average yield on loans for the first quarter was 5.90%, down four basis points from the fourth quarter, and the average balance of loans for the first quarter was $6.43 billion, down 0.3% from the previous quarter. The cost of interest-bearing deposits for the first quarter was 3.20%, down 16 basis points from the fourth quarter, and the average balance of interest-bearing deposits was $4.66 billion, down 1.1% from the previous quarter. The ratio of average loans to average deposits for the first quarter was 97.5%, compared with 96.6% for the previous quarter.

Credit loss expense for the first quarter of 2026 was $2.9 million, compared with $1.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2025.

Noninterest income was $8.5 million for the first quarter of 2026, up 2.9% from $8.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2025.

The volume of SBA loans sold for the first quarter increased to $32.5 million from $29.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, and trade premiums also increased to 7.88% for the first quarter of 2026 compared with 7.40% for the fourth quarter.

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2026 was $38.4 million, down 1.9% from $39.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2025. The decrease was principally due to the income recognized on the sale of foreclosed properties for the first quarter, compared with an expense for other-real-estate-owned for the fourth quarter. No foreclosed properties remained at the end of the 2026-first quarter. The efficiency ratio declined to 53.48% for the first quarter, compared with 54.95% for the previous quarter.

The effective tax rate was 26.0% for the first quarter of 2026, compared with 29.5% for the fourth quarter of 2025. The lower effective tax rate reflects the tax benefit arising from the first-quarter vesting of performance stock units, as well as the year-ago change in the State of California apportionment calculation.
Financial Position
Total assets at March 31, 2026 decreased 0.4%, or $30.0 million, to $7.84 billion from $7.87 billion at December 31, 2025. The decrease reflected a $44.9 million decline in securities available for sale and an $18.5 million decline in loans, partially offset by a $41.2 million increase in cash and due from banks.
Total loans, excluding the allowance for credit losses and loans held for sale, were $6.55 billion at March 31, 2026, down 0.3% from $6.56 billion at December 31, 2025.
Loans held for sale were $4.9 million at March 31, 2026, down from $7.4 million at December 31, 2025. At the end of the first quarter, loans held-for-sale consisted of the guaranteed portion of SBA 7(a) loans.

Asset Quality
Loans 30 to 89 days past due and still accruing were 0.20% of loans at the end of the first quarter of 2026, compared with 0.27% at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025.
Criticized loans were $116.4 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared with $97.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $164.9 million for the first quarter of 2025. The increase during the first quarter of 2026 was driven by special mention loans, which increased $22.6 million because of a $21.2 million commercial real estate loan downgrade. Changes in classified loans, which decreased $3.2 million, included a $9.7 million payment on a commercial real estate office loan that had a balance of $10.2 million at December 31, 2025. Classified loan downgrades for the first quarter, which totaled $9.6 million, included a $5.0 million commercial and industrial loan in the hospitality industry. There were no transfers of criticized loans into other-real-estate-owned during the first quarter of 2026. As a percent of total loans, criticized loans were 1.78% as of March 31, 2026, compared with 1.48% as of December 31, 2025, and 2.62% as of March 31, 2025.
Nonaccrual loans were $12.4 million, or 0.19% of loans, at March 31, 2026, compared with $18.1 million, or 0.28% of loans, at December 31, 2025, and $35.5 million, or 0.56% of loans, at March 31, 2025. The decrease for the first quarter reflects the $9.7 million payment described in the above paragraph and $1.9 million of equipment finance agreement charge-offs, partially offset by the addition of a $3.2 million commercial real estate loan in the hospitality industry.
Nonperforming assets were $12.4 million, or 0.16% of total assets, at March 31, 2026, compared with $20.1 million, or 0.26% of total assets, at December 31, 2025. The decline reflects the changes described in the above paragraph as well as the sale of two other-real-estate-owned properties for a net gain of $0.8 million. No foreclosed properties remained in other-real-estate-owned at the end of the first quarter.
Gross charge-offs for the first quarter of 2026 were $3.2 million, compared with $2.9 million for the preceding quarter. Charge-offs during the first quarter included $2.9 million of equipment financing agreements. Recoveries of previously charged off loans were $0.6 million, which included $0.5 million of equipment financing agreements. As a result, there were $2.6 million of net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2026, or 0.16% of loans (annualized), compared with $1.6 million, or 0.10% of loans, for the fourth quarter of 2025.
The allowance for credit losses was $70.5 million, or 1.08% of loans, at March 31, 2026, compared with $69.9 million, or 1.07% of loans, at December 31, 2025. Collectively evaluated allowances increased $0.8 million, while specific allowances decreased $0.2 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets Ratio
Tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio is supplemental financial information determined by a method other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This non-GAAP measure is used by management in the analysis of Hanmi’s capital strength. Tangible common equity is calculated by subtracting goodwill and other intangible assets from stockholders’ equity. Banking and financial institution regulators also exclude goodwill and other intangible assets from stockholders’ equity when assessing the capital adequacy of a financial institution. Management believes the presentation of this financial measure excluding the impact of these items provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the capital strength of Hanmi.
The following table reconciles this non-GAAP performance measure to the GAAP performance measure for the periods indicated:

Preprovision Net Revenues
Preprovision net revenues is supplemental financial information determined by a method other than in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This non-GAAP measure is used by management to measure Hanmi’s core operational performance, excluding the impact of provisions for loan losses. By isolating preprovision net revenues, management can better understand the Company’s true profitability and make more informed strategic decisions. Preprovision net revenues is calculated adding income tax expense and credit loss expense to net income. Management believes this financial measure highlights the Company’s revenue activities and operational efficiency, excluding unpredictable loan loss provisions.
The following table details the Company’s preprovision net revenues, which are non-GAAP measures, for the periods indicated:
