Hanmi Financial - Earnings Call - Q2 2025
July 22, 2025
Executive Summary
- Q2 2025 EPS was $0.50, down from $0.58 in Q1, as higher credit loss expense ($7.6M) offset solid core performance; net interest margin expanded 5 bps to 3.07% and pre-provision net revenue rose 3.7%.
- Wall Street consensus (S&P Global) expected $0.61 EPS and ~$65.7M revenue; HAFC missed both on EPS and revenue, primarily due to the $8.6M charge-off on a syndicated CRE office loan and higher qualitative loss rates in the allowance*.
- Asset quality improved markedly: criticized loans fell 72% q/q to 0.74% of loans, nonaccruals declined to 0.41% of loans, and delinquencies dropped to 0.17% of loans.
- Deposits grew 1.7% q/q to $6.73B with healthy mix (31.3% noninterest-bearing); loans grew 0.4% to $6.31B, with strong C&I and residential mortgage production.
- Management expects further NIM improvement but at a diminishing rate; expenses should remain relatively stable for the year, and quarterly SBA production targets were increased for H2 2025.
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Net interest margin expansion and PPNR growth: NIM rose to 3.07% (+5 bps q/q), and pre-provision net revenue increased 3.7%, driven by lower funding costs and higher net interest income.
- Deposit and loan growth with improved mix: deposits rose 1.7% q/q to $6.73B, noninterest-bearing demand deposits were 31.3% of total; loans increased 0.4% with solid C&I and residential mortgage production.

- CEO quote: “We further expanded our net interest margin to 3.07%, and grew preprovision net revenue by 3.7%, primarily driven by lower funding costs.”.
What Went Wrong
- EPS and revenue miss vs consensus (S&P Global): Q2 2025 EPS $0.50 vs $0.61*; revenue ~$57.6M actual vs ~$65.7M consensus*, reflecting elevated credit loss expense.
- Credit-driven headwinds: credit loss expense rose to $7.6M (from $2.7M), due to $11.4M net charge-offs including an $8.6M charge-off on a syndicated CRE office loan.
- Noninterest expense uptick: total noninterest expense increased 3.9% q/q to $36.3M, largely from salaries/benefits (+$1.1M), professional fees, and advertising tied to branch opening (partially offset by $0.6M OREO gain).

Thank you, Ben. Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for joining us today to discuss our second quarter 2025 results. I am pleased with Hanmi Financial Corporation's consistent execution this quarter, building on our progress in the previous quarter for a solid first half of the year. We delivered further margin expansion and growth in our loan portfolio with healthy contributions from commercial and industrial and residential mortgage loans. Deposit growth was also solid for the quarter, with a continued contribution from commercial accounts and new branches. Importantly, asset quality improved significantly from an already strong base, with notable reductions in criticized and non-accrual loans. This progress is a testament to our focus on proactive portfolio management through vigilant and prompt actions. Now, let me review some key highlights of the quarter.
Net income for the second quarter was $15.1 million or $0.50 per diluted share, compared to $17.7 million and $0.58 respectively in the first quarter. The decline in net income was primarily due to an increase in credit loss expense. Our return on average assets was 0.79%, and return on average equity was 7.8%. Pre-provision net revenues grew 3.7% or $1 million, showing the strength of our core business. Once again, we expanded net interest margin, increasing by five basis points to 3.07%, primarily driven by lower funding costs. As I just mentioned, asset quality is excellent, improved significantly from the first quarter due to our proactive portfolio management actions. Net charge-offs for the second quarter were considerably higher than the first quarter, reflecting the $8.6 million charge-off and the $20 million non-accrual syndicated commercial real estate office loan we identified last quarter.
While disappointing, we believe this action brings the matter closer to resolution and is not reflective of any systemic issues. Total loans increased to $6.31 billion, 0.4% on a linked quarter basis, or 1.6% annualized, with higher commercial and industrial and residential mortgage loan production during the quarter. Deposits increased by 1.7% in the second quarter, driven by new commercial accounts and meaningful contributions from our new branches. This growth underscores our ability to continually forge new customer relationships while strengthening our long-standing ones. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits have increased by over 7% from the second quarter of 2024 and continue to represent a noteworthy percentage of total deposits at 31.3%. Non-interest income increased to 4.5%, primarily reflecting the success of our SBA efforts. We continue to maintain disciplined control over our operating expenses, holding our efficiency ratio constant at 55.7% compared to the prior quarter.
During the second quarter, we also expanded our commercial banking capabilities by successfully recruiting talented new bankers in both C&I and SBA lending to support growth in these key asset classes. Given the strength of our loan pipeline, we are increasing our quarterly SBA production target to $45 million to $40 million for the second half of 2025. Turning now to our corporate Korea initiative, although the economic outlook remains dynamic, we continue to add new relationships with the Korean manufacturers through our new branch in the metro Atlanta area, where many Korean companies have U.S. manufacturing presence. We anticipate new loan production from them in the second half of 2025. Our USKC loan and deposit portfolios remain steady in the quarter, with both portfolios in the low to mid-teens as a percentage of total loans and deposits.
While the current economic environment is evolving, we remain optimistic about the long-term growth potential of our USKC initiative. That said, many of our USKC customers are taking a wait-and-see approach as they look for greater clarity around tariffs and their potential impact on the broader economy. Looking ahead, we believe Hanmi Financial Corporation is well-positioned for growth as we execute on our key strategic initiatives and priorities, which include driving loan growth in the low to mid-single-digit range, with a focus on expanding our SBA activities and our C&I portfolios, while reducing our exposure to CRE as a percentage of the overall portfolio.
Building on the meaningful improvement in our C&I and SBA loan pipelines as our customers continue to adapt to the current economic environment, leveraging our strong liquidity position and maintaining robust credit metrics, which support our standing as a well-capitalized bank, preserving our significantly improved asset quality through proactive management of our portfolio and disciplined credit administration. In summary, we delivered a solid operating performance in the first half of the year, fueling our momentum. We remain deeply engaged with our customers, responding to their needs as they navigate the evolving market environment and its effects on their businesses. When I look at our performance through the first half of 2025, I see the strength and execution of our growth strategy. New loan production has increased 33% over the previous year. Pre-provision net revenues have increased 31%, and net interest margin is 31 basis points higher.
Our customer-centric approach enables our team to deliver exceptional service and innovative market-leading solutions. Coupled with our continued focus on disciplined expense management and strong asset quality, we are well-positioned to drive sustainable growth and deliver long-term value to our shareholders. I'll now turn the call over to Anthony Kim, our Chief Banking Officer, to discuss second quarter loan production and deposit gathering in more detail.
Speaker 6
Thank you, Bonnie, and thank you for joining us today. I'll begin by providing additional details on our loan production. Second quarter loan production was $330 million, down $16 million or 4.7% from the prior quarter, with a weighted average interest rate of 7.10% compared to 7.355% last quarter. The decrease in loan production was primarily due to a decrease in commercial real estate, Small Business Administration loans, and equipment finance, partially offset by higher residential and commercial and industrial production. We continue to be disciplined and selective with our underwriting to ensure we only pursue opportunities that meet our high-quality standards. Commercial real estate production was $112 million, down 24% from the prior quarter, given our selective approach. The elevated interest rate environment continues to impact traditional and refinancing activity. We remain pleased with the quality of our commercial real estate portfolio.
It has a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of approximately 47% and a weighted average debt service coverage ratio of 2.2 times. Small Business Administration loan production decreased $8 million from the prior quarter to $47 million, but still exceeded the high end of our quarterly target range. This steady production highlights the impact of our recent team hires and the growth we're driving among small businesses in our markets. On a year-to-date basis, Small Business Administration production increased 20%. During the quarter, we sold approximately $35.4 million of Small Business Administration loans from our portfolio and recognized a gain of $2.2 million during the quarter. Commercial and industrial production during the second quarter was $53 million, an increase of $11 million or 26%. The increase was primarily due to adding new commercial and industrial talent and our efforts to further grow this portfolio.
Total commitments for our commercial lines of credit remain healthy at over $1 billion in the second quarter, up 3% or 12% on an annualized basis. Outstanding balances increased by 2%, resulting in a utilization rate of 38%, consistent with the prior quarter. Residential mortgage loan production was $84 million for the second quarter, up 52% from the previous quarter, primarily due to increased activities of our correspondent lenders. Of note, most of our current lending opportunities continue to be in the purchase market as refinance activity remains subdued. Residential mortgage loans represent approximately 16% of our total loan portfolio, consistent with the previous quarter. During the second quarter, we did not finalize the sale of residential mortgage loans; however, this was completed at the beginning of the third quarter. We'll continue to explore additional sales, contingent on market conditions.
Although we are making good progress expanding our US-Korea Corporate (USKC) relationships, many of these customers are temporarily on the sidelines as they await greater clarity given the current economic conditions. USKC loan balances were $842 million, representing approximately 13% of the total loan portfolio. Turning to deposits, in the second quarter, deposits were up 1.7% from the prior quarter, driven by new commercial accounts and contributions from our new branches. Deposit production for USKC customers was down slightly from the previous quarter but remains solid at $61 million. Our team is making good progress, adding new relationships that we believe can grow over time. At quarter end, corporate Korea deposits represented 14% of our total deposits and 16% of our demand deposits. The composition of our deposit base remains stable, which reflects the success of our relationship banking model.
During the second quarter, our mix of non-interest-bearing deposits remained healthy at 31% of total bank deposits. Asset quality improved significantly from the first quarter due to proactive portfolio management, as criticized loans decreased 72%, reflecting $85 million in loan upgrades and $20 million in loan payments. Non-accrual loans also decreased 27%, and loan delinquencies declined to 0.17% of total loans. Our credit quality remains strong, which we expect to continue given our vigilant credit administration practices. I will now hand the call over to Ron Santarosa, our Chief Financial Officer, for more details on our second quarter financial results.
Speaker 3
Thank you, Anthony, and good afternoon to all. As Bonnie noted, our pre-provision net revenues increased 3.7% quarter over quarter, reflecting higher levels of net interest income and non-interest income, an expanding net interest margin, and well-controlled non-interest expenses. Looking to the components of pre-provision net revenues, we generated a 3.7% increase in net interest income, posting $57.1 million for the second quarter. Net interest margin also improved by five basis points to 3.07%. The growth in net interest income was principally due to lower rates on interest-bearing deposits, a higher volume of average loans, and one extra day in the quarter. The growth in net interest margin primarily reflected a nine-basis-point benefit from lower levels of borrowed funds, offset by a six-basis-point reduction in the contribution from loans and interest-bearing deposits. Notably, the average loan-to-deposit ratio for the second quarter was 95.4%, down from 97.4% for the first quarter.
Non-interest income was $8.1 million, up 4.5% from the first quarter due to a higher level of SBA gains and income from a bank-owned life insurance policy. Gains on SBA loan sales were $2.2 million, up 8% from the first quarter, with a 10% higher volume of loans sold, totaling $35.4 million, while trade premiums declined 21 basis points to 7.61%. As Anthony noted, we did not conclude the sale of residential mortgage loans during the second quarter, and as a result, we had $41.9 million of residential mortgage loans classified as held for sale at quarter end. The sale of these loans closed early in the third quarter for a gain of $699,000. For the second quarter, non-interest expense was $36.3 million, up 3.9% from the first quarter. However, the efficiency ratio remained the same at 55.7%.
Salaries increased 5.2%, reflecting annual merit increases and promotions, along with, however, lower amounts of capitalized salaries. Since quarterly loan production was lower, capitalized salaries were also lower, comprising $400,000 of the quarter-over-quarter increase. Advertising and promotion expenses were higher in the second quarter due to the opening of our Atlanta branch and other promotions. During the quarter, we also sold our sole OREO property for a gain of $596,000. Credit loss expense for the second quarter was $7.6 million and included a loan loss provision of $7.5 million and a provision for off-balance sheet items of $100,000. Notwithstanding the higher level of net charge-offs, the provision also reflects an increase in estimated loss rates for quantitative and qualitative considerations in the allowance and an increase in loans outstanding. Net loan charge-offs were $11.4 million.
This included the $8.6 million loan charge-off on the non-accrual commercial real estate loan identified last quarter, for which there was a specific allowance of $6.2 million. As a percentage of average loans, net loan charge-offs annualized were 73 basis points for the second quarter, compared with 13 basis points for the first quarter. Excluding the large loan charge-off, net loan charge-offs would have been 18 basis points for the second quarter. At the end of the second quarter, the allowance for credit losses stood at 1.06% of loans. As Bonnie and Anthony mentioned earlier, our asset quality metrics are strong, with delinquent loans, criticized loans, and non-accrual loans all less than 1% of total loans. Our capital ratios also remain strong.
During the second quarter, in addition to the $0.27 per share common dividend declared and paid, Hanmi Financial Corporation repurchased 70,000 shares of common stock at an average price of $23.26 for a total of $1.6 million. Tangible common book value per share increased to $24.91, and the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets was 9.58%. Hanmi Financial Corporation's preliminary common tier one capital ratio was 10.63%, and the bank's preliminary total capital ratio was 14.39%. With that, I will turn it back to Bonnie.
Speaker 4
Thank you, Ron. We are pleased with the progress we have achieved thus far in 2025 and remain encouraged by the long-term growth opportunities ahead. Although we are mindful of the current economic conditions, our unwavering focus is on delivering bespoke relationship-driven banking services that facilitate our customers' objectives and create value for our shareholders. Our strategy is clear: to broaden our loan and deposit base, strengthen and establish new relationships within select deposit-rich markets, and drive growth in key regions. This steady and disciplined methodology has served us well through challenging economic conditions, and we are confident in our ability to execute effectively and deliver sustained, profitable growth. Thank you. We'll now open the call to answer your questions. Operator, please open up the line.
Speaker 5
Certainly. We'll now be conducting a question and answer session, and if you'd like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. A confirmation tone will indicate your line is in the question queue. Once again, that's star one to be placed in the question queue. Our first question today is coming from Kelly Motta from KBW. Your line is now live.
Hi, good afternoon. Thanks for the question. Maybe starting off on loan growth, I think in your prepared remarks, you reiterated the low to mid-single-digit range. Mid-single digits would imply a step up from the second half of the year. Just wondering if you could provide some color as to how the pipelines are holding up, the composition of growth ahead, and what would get you towards the upper end of that range. Thanks.
Speaker 4
Sure, Kelly. In general, our second half in terms of production is usually higher than the first half of the year. Going into the third quarter, we already have a very strong pipeline of new loans, much higher than the second quarter initial pipeline. With that, as long as the payouts remain within the range, as well as for the line credit customers, line utilization and fluctuations remain, we could probably reach the mid-single digit as we speak.
Got it. Okay, that's helpful. On the margin, you had some continued improvement in deposit costs or the rate at which it's slowing. I believe in the past you provided a spot deposit rate. Ron, I'm wondering if you could provide the color on that as well as the cadence of time deposit repricing and if there's still an additional pickup from that if we get a rate cut here later this quarter.
Speaker 3
Sure, Kelly. First, looking at interest-bearing deposit costs. For the quarter, average interest-bearing deposit costs were 3.64%. For the month of June, interest-bearing deposit costs were 3.6%. You can see they're about four basis points down. With respect to time deposits or CDs, they were 4.05% for the quarter and 4.01% for the month of June. Again, down about four basis points. When you look at our maturities that are coming in the third quarter, the average rate of those maturing CDs is 4.12%. That is roughly a 10 to 11 basis point differential from where we are for the month of June. All of that said, I would continue to expect net interest margin to increase. However, the rate of increase, I think, will continue to slow given the proportion of time deposits to the total portfolio.
Again, expecting no other rate increases or decreases for the remainder of the year. I just think you'll continue to see kind of a diminishing benefit of net interest margin growth.
Got it. That's helpful. Maybe last one for me on credit. You guys obviously had the one larger net charge-off that impacted the provision this quarter. Stepping back from that, it seems like criticized assets are down meaningfully. If I'm hearing you right, the commentary on credit is actually quite constructive as we look ahead. Can you provide some additional color as to what gives you the confidence and the drivers that brought criticized assets, criticized levels down, as well as was this larger loan an office credit? I think you have a substantial portion of that matures over the next year. I realize there's a lot in that question, but I'm just hoping to get more color all around on that. Thank you.
Speaker 4
Sure. Within the quarter, we had very good success in resolving the loans, particularly in the special mention category, totaling over $100 million, close to $106 million. Mainly it's in two loans. The first loan, the R really stepped up and increased the commitment, expressing the commitment by paying down the loan by $20 million. The second loan, with improved operating performance and then partial paydown in the prior period, we were able to upgrade on these two loans. Not only on the special mention loan, but in the non-performing category, even on the past due, between 30 and 89, all metrics have improved tremendously. Already very solid, very strong asset quality numbers. One of the reasons we repeatedly commented is our very proactive portfolio management and also slicing and dicing of the portfolio. That has come to the result.
The loan that we took a charge-off of $8.6 million, this is a syndicated office property and the only syndicated office CRE loan that we have. It has been paid as agreed with satisfactory debt service coverage. However, when it matured in early January, the lead lender and the sponsor have not come to the terms for resolution. During the second quarter, with an updated appraisal, we recorded the $8.6 million charge-off for the collateral shortfall. While disappointing, we believe this is the best course of action on a collateral-dependent loan. That's why we provided the charge-off.
Speaker 6
Yeah, Kelly, if I may add on the office portfolio, other than the one large credit that Bonnie just mentioned, we closely monitor all other loans of $550 million. Approximately $200 million are maturing within this year. We looked at all the credits. There's no major credit issues or repricing risk that we're seeing right now. Other than those one large one-off loans, we don't see any other major credit issues at this time.
Thank you so much for all the color there. I'll step back.
Speaker 5
Thank you. As a reminder, that's star one to be placed in the question queue. Our next question is coming from Gary Tenner from D.A. Davidson & Co., and your line is now live.
Hey, guys. I'm Aldison on for Gary. I got a quick one on loan growth. Given the strong C&I production this quarter, should we expect C&I to drive loan growth in the back half of the year? Sorry if I missed this earlier.
Speaker 6
Yes. Looking at the pipeline coming into the third quarter, the C&I pipeline, the level of the C&I pipeline is much higher than that of the second quarter. It is our intention to target more C&I with higher deposit opportunities. That's been our effort for the past year. Yes, C&I, along with our mortgage and SBA, will drive the growth.
Speaker 4
Yeah, in addition to that, I think that in terms of, just as I mentioned earlier, the production in the second quarter is generally high for us for the last couple of years. We expect to see more increased activity, including the commercial and industrial loans. It could possibly come from the commercial real estate loans as well. One noticeable area is that residential mortgage and Small Business Administration (SBA) loans for the last couple of quarters have really contributed to the production and the net balance growth.
Right, that makes sense. If I can follow up on a buyback question, I see that the CET1 is north of 12% and buybacks ticked up a tiny bit this quarter. Should we expect a similar level of buybacks from you guys?
Speaker 3
As I mentioned before, the decisions with respect to repurchases are framed each quarter by the Board of Directors. What I offer to you is a backward look at the ranges in which we made purchases. I think over the past year plus, from a low of $25,000 to a high of $75,000. I would just point you to the past and to look at those ranges, and that might help you with your question.
Sounds good. Maybe last one for me on the expenses. Seems like you guys are holding the line there with the slight pickup in salaries. Should we expect expenses to remain relatively stable for the rest of the year?
I believe so. When you look at our quarterly spend, you'll see some seasonal patterns. Fourth quarter typically has a higher spend in advertising and promotions. First quarter, you see the payroll tax effects. If you just think about the different seasonalities that occur, that said, I think we will be within relatively the same range as we are currently.
Thank you for taking my questions.
Speaker 4
Thank you.
Speaker 5
Thank you. Next question is coming from Adam Kroll from Piper Sandler. Your line is now live.
Hi, good afternoon. This is Adam Kroll on for Matthew Clark, and thanks for taking my questions. I was just curious how much remaining exposure there is on the syndicated office loan. Could you just remind us how large the syndicated book is as a % of the portfolio?
Speaker 4
Yeah, on this particular subject loan, we have about $11 million outstanding.
Speaker 6
The syndicated portfolio represents approximately 4%, about $250 million.
Got it. That's helpful. Obviously, the reserve dropped a bit this quarter. I was just curious, do you feel comfortable where it is today, or do you plan to build that up kind of towards the 1.1% range?
Speaker 3
We are very comfortable with the reserve at its current level. As we pointed out, there was growth attributed to not only an increase in loss factors, but also an increase in the outstanding portfolio. Looking out, we do anticipate the loan book to grow. With that, an increase in the provision and potentially the coverage ratio would follow, depending on the mix of the loan book. The outlook this past quarter, you know, there's still shades of declining economic performance, which could portend recessionary ideas. We need to see how that economic outlook unfolds as we go through the third and fourth quarter and where the sentiment might be lying with respect to those ideas.
Got it. That's super helpful. Last one for me is maybe just on the expense side. Do you have plans to add additional C&I and SBA bankers in the back half of the year? Is that kind of built into that stable expense guide?
Speaker 4
All the major hires we have completed during the first half. In terms of a number of new relationship managers or marketing managers, I think it'll be holding pretty steady.
Got it. Thanks for taking my questions.
Sure.
Speaker 5
Thank you. Next question is a follow-up from Kelly Motta from KBW. Your line is now live.
Hey, thanks for letting me jump back in. Just a minor cleanup question for Ron. A lot of the California banks have announced revisions in their tax rate expectations with a change in the California law. Just wondering, Ron, anything notable to note on a go-forward basis, or is this, call it 29%, a good approximation of the run rate ahead?
Speaker 3
Yes, Kelly. We, fortunately or unfortunately, are largely based in California. The change in the apportionment is just not as large for us as it might be for other institutions. That said, the effective tax rate for the six months was 29.25%. An effective tax rate of probably about 29.5% is probably indicative of how the year might turn out. We have a bit more discrete items in the first half of the year than we do in the second half of the year, so the effective tax rate tends to drift up as we complete the year.
Got it. That's helpful. Last question for me on the occupancy line. I kind of expected that to tick up related to expansionary efforts. Is this $4.3 million a good go-forward run rate, or is there anything to build in as you kind of like have added there?
In terms of expansion, I would imagine you're speaking to people. For people, we have existing infrastructure that will accommodate any additional seats, so there's no expense push because of that idea. With respect to the branch footprint, as we've mentioned in the past, we annually take a look at how we are situated, and we will make decisions on consolidation, on relocation, on new markets. That will continue. If you look backwards, I don't think that event or that idea manifested in any large increment or decrement to our spend. We kind of try to create headroom, fill in headroom, trying to keep things about the same, but for inflation as best we can.
Got it. Thanks for the clarification. I must have thought you had expanded more recently than you have. Appreciate it.
Speaker 5
Thank you. We appreciate it. Our question is a session. I'd like to turn the floor back over for your further closing comments.
Speaker 4
Thank you for participating in today's call. We value your interest in Hanmi and look forward to keeping you informed about our progress throughout the year. Thank you.
Speaker 5
Thank you. That does conclude today's teleconference. You may disconnect your line at this time and have a wonderful day. We thank you for your participation today.
