    East West Bancorp Reports Net Income for First Quarter 2022 of $238 Million and Diluted Earnings Per Share of $1.66  105  0 Kommentare Record Loans and Deposits

    East West Bancorp, Inc. (“East West” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EWBC), parent company of East West Bank, today reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2022. For the first quarter of 2022, net income was $237.7 million, or $1.66 per diluted share, up 37% linked quarter annualized and up 16% year-over-year.

    “East West had an excellent start to the year. Financial results for the first quarter of 2022 were very strong, with an acceleration of loan and revenue growth, and a 14 basis point expansion in the net interest margin to 2.87%,” stated Dominic Ng, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of East West. “Quarter-over-quarter, our adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision income1 of $320.3 million grew by 28% annualized. Our first quarter 2022 return on assets of 1.56% expanded by 17 basis points, and our return on equity of 16.5% expanded by 157 basis points sequentially.”

    “Total loans reached a record $43.5 billion as of March 31, 2022. Excluding the impact of the Paycheck Protection Program loans, total loans grew by $2.0 billion, or 20% linked quarter annualized, led by commercial loan growth. Total deposits grew to a record $54.9 billion as of March 31, 2022, an increase of $1.6 billion or 12% linked quarter annualized, driven by strong growth in noninterest-bearing demand deposits. Demand deposits made up 45% of our deposits as of March 31, 2022, up from 38% a year ago,” continued Ng.

    “The strength of East West’s business model and our ability to execute are reflected in our financial achievements for the first quarter. Our loan portfolio is well-diversified, our pipelines are robust, our asset quality continues to be strong, and our balance sheet is well-positioned for a rising interest rate environment. We are optimistic about our outlook and expect to continue to deliver strong growth and earnings in 2022 and beyond,” concluded Ng.

    BALANCE SHEET

    • Record Assets – Total assets reached $62.2 billion as of March 31, 2022, up by $1.4 billion, or 9% annualized, from $60.9 billion as of December 31, 2021, driven by growth in loans. Year-over-year, total assets grew 9% from $56.9 billion as of March 31, 2021.

      First quarter 2022 average interest-earning assets of $58.7 billion declined by $251.7 million, or 2% linked quarter annualized, from $58.9 billion in the fourth quarter of 2021. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was driven by declines in average interest-bearing cash and deposits with banks of $1.6 billion and assets purchased under resale agreements of $342.6 million, which were largely offset by an increase in average loans of $1.6 billion. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company moved $3.0 billion of debt securities from available-for-sale (“AFS”) to held-to-maturity.
    • Record Loans – Total loans reached $43.5 billion as of March 31, 2022, up by $1.8 billion, or 17% annualized, from $41.7 billion as of December 31, 2021. Excluding Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans of $318.1 million, total loans grew by $2.0 billion, or 20% linked quarter annualized, with solid growth in all major loan categories. Year-over-year, total loans grew 10% from $39.6 billion as of March 31, 2021. Excluding PPP loans, total loans grew $5.7 billion or 15% year-over-year.

      First quarter 2022 average loans of $42.1 billion grew by $1.6 billion, or 16% linked quarter annualized. Excluding PPP loans, average loans grew by $1.8 billion, or 19% annualized, from the fourth quarter of 2021. The strongest growth was from average commercial and industrial loans (excluding PPP), which increased 30% linked quarter annualized, followed by average total commercial real estate loans, which increased 18% linked quarter annualized. Average residential mortgage loans increased 8% linked quarter annualized.
    • Record Deposits – Total deposits were $54.9 billion as of March 31, 2022, an increase of $1.6 billion, or 12% annualized, from $53.4 billion as of December 31, 2021, and up $5.4 billion or 11% from $49.5 billion as of March 31, 2021. Quarter-over-quarter, strong growth in noninterest-bearing demand deposits was partially offset by a decrease in money market accounts. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits totaled $24.9 billion as of March 31, 2022. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits made up 45% of total deposits as of March 31, 2022, up from 43% as of December 31, 2021, and from 38% as of March 31, 2021.

      First quarter 2022 average deposits of $54.0 billion declined by $290.9 million, or 2% linked quarter annualized. This was primarily driven by a decrease in average noninterest-bearing demand deposits of $586.6 million, or 10% linked quarter annualized, partially offset by increases in average interest-bearing checking deposits of $185.6 million, or 12% linked quarter annualized, and in savings deposits of $89.0 million, or 13% linked quarter annualized.
    • Strong Capital Levels – As of March 31, 2022, stockholders’ equity was $5.7 billion, or $40.09 per common share, and tangible equity2 per common share was $36.76. As of March 31, 2022, the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio2 was 8.47%, the common equity tier 1 (“CET1”) capital ratio was 12.6%, and the total risk-based capital ratio was 13.9%. Quarter-over-quarter, stockholders’ equity declined by 2%, or $133.8 million, primarily reflecting a negative change in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) of $304.5 million and $57.6 million in common dividends declared, partially offset by $237.7 million in net income. The negative change in AOCI was primarily due to increased unrealized losses in AFS debt securities.

    OPERATING RESULTS

    First Quarter Earnings – First quarter 2022 net income was $237.7 million, or $1.66 per diluted share, an increase of 9%, or 37% annualized, from $217.8 million, or $1.52 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2021, and an increase of 16% from $205.0 million, or $1.44 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2021.

    First Quarter 2022 Compared to Fourth Quarter 2021

    Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

    Net interest income (“NII”) totaled $415.6 million, an increase of 10% annualized from $405.7 million. Net interest margin (“NIM”) of 2.87% increased by 14 basis points from 2.73%.

    • NII growth and NIM expansion were primarily driven by strong loan growth and higher loan yields. Average loan growth during the first quarter drove a favorable shift in the asset mix into higher interest earning assets. Average loans made up 72% of average interest-earning assets in the first quarter of 2022, compared with 69% in the fourth quarter of 2021.
    • The average loan yield was 3.63%, up four basis points from the fourth quarter.
    • The average cost of funds of 0.12% and the average cost of deposits of 0.10% both remained unchanged from the fourth quarter. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits of 0.17% decreased by one basis point from the fourth quarter.

    Noninterest Income

    Noninterest income totaled $79.7 million in the first quarter, an increase of $8.3 million, or 12%, from $71.5 million in the fourth quarter. Customer-driven fee income and net gains on sales of loans were $65.0 million, an increase of 3% linked quarter, or 11% annualized, from $63.3 million in the fourth quarter.

    Interest rate contracts (“IRC”) and other derivative income was $11.1 million in the first quarter, compared with $1.9 million in the fourth quarter. The $9.2 million quarter-over-quarter increase was largely due to a favorable change in the credit valuation adjustment, as well as higher customer-driven IRC revenue.

    Noninterest Expense

    Noninterest expense totaled $189.5 million in the first quarter, compared with $210.1 million in the fourth quarter. First quarter noninterest expense consisted of $175.0 million of adjusted noninterest expense3, $13.9 million in amortization of tax credit and other investments, and $0.5 million in amortization of core deposit intangibles.

    • Adjusted noninterest expense of $175.0 million decreased by 1.5%, or 6% annualized, from $177.7 million in the fourth quarter. Reductions in legal expense and overall operating expenses, including data processing, occupancy and equipment expense, and computer software expense, more than offset increased compensation and employee benefits expense, which is typically higher in the first quarter due to higher payroll taxes and related expenses.
    • Amortization of tax credit and other investments totaled $13.9 million in the first quarter, compared with $31.8 million in the fourth quarter. Quarter-over-quarter variability in the amortization of tax credits and other investments partially reflects the impact of investments that close in a given period.
    • The adjusted efficiency ratio3 was 35.3% in the first quarter, compared with 37.2% in the fourth quarter.

    TAX RELATED ITEMS

    First quarter 2022 income tax expense was $60.3 million and the effective tax rate was 20.2%, compared with income tax expense of $59.3 million and an effective tax rate of 21.4% for the fourth quarter of 2021.

    ASSET QUALITY

    The asset quality of the loan portfolio continues to be strong.

    • The nonperforming asset (“NPA”) ratio improved by two basis points quarter-over-quarter and NPAs decreased by 9%. As of March 31, 2022, NPAs were $94.4 million, or 0.15% of total assets, compared with $103.5 million, or 0.17% of total assets, as of December 31, 2021.
    • The criticized loan ratio improved by eight basis points quarter-over-quarter. As of March 31, 2022, criticized loans totaled $833.3 million, or 1.92% of loans held-for-investment (“HFI”), compared with $833.1 million, or 2.00% of loans HFI, as of December 31, 2021.
    • First quarter 2022 net charge-offs were $8.3 million, or annualized 0.08% of average loans HFI, down from $9.8 million, or annualized 0.10% of average loans HFI, for the fourth quarter of 2021.
    • The allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) totaled $545.7 million, or 1.25% of loans HFI, as of March 31, 2022, compared with $541.6 million, or 1.30% of loans HFI, as of December 31, 2021. The provision for credit losses was $8.0 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared with a reversal of $10.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and no provision for the first quarter of 2021. The quarter-over-quarter increase in the ALLL largely reflects loan growth. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in the ALLL coverage ratio reflects improving asset quality metrics in the loan portfolio.

    The Company has elected to use the 2020 CECL transition provision in the calculation of its March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and March 31, 2021 regulatory capital ratios. The Company’s March 31, 2022 regulatory capital ratios and RWA are preliminary.

    (b)

    Under regulatory guidelines, on-balance sheet assets and credit equivalent amounts of derivatives and off-balance sheet items are assigned to one of several broad risk categories based on the nature of the obligor, or, if relevant, the guarantor or the nature of any collateral. The aggregate dollar value in each risk category is then multiplied by the risk weight associated with that category. The resulting weighted values from each of the risk categories are aggregated for determining total RWA.

    Table 10

    The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance. Adjusted efficiency ratio represents adjusted noninterest expense divided by revenue. Adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision profitability ratio represents revenue less adjusted noninterest expense, divided by average total assets. Adjusted noninterest expense excludes the amortization of tax credit and other investments, the amortization of core deposit intangibles and the extinguishment cost on repurchase agreements. 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.
