BALANCE SHEET

  • Total Assets – Total assets were $68.3 billion as of September 30, 2023, a decrease of $0.2 billion from $68.5 billion as of June 30, 2023, reflecting increasing balance sheet efficiency.

    Third quarter 2023 average interest-earning assets of $65.1 billion were up $1.0 billion, or 2%, from $64.1 billion in the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to an increase of $1.0 billion in average loans outstanding.
  • Total Loans – Total loans reached a record $50.9 billion as of September 30, 2023, an increase of $1.1 billion, or 2%, from $49.8 billion as of June 30, 2023. Year-over-year, total loans were up $3.5 billion, or 7%, from $47.5 billion as of September 30, 2022.

    Third quarter 2023 average loans of $49.9 billion grew $1.0 billion, or 2%, from the second quarter of 2023. The increase was driven by growth across all our major loan portfolios.
  • Total Deposits – Total deposits were $55.1 billion as of September 30, 2023, a decrease of $0.6 billion, or 1%, from $55.7 billion as of June 30, 2023, reflecting a $1.6 billion reduction in wholesale deposits, partially offset by an increase of $1 billion in customer deposits. Noninterest-bearing deposits made up 29% of our total deposits as of September 30, 2023, down from 30% as of June 30, 2023. Year-over-year, total deposits increased $1.2 billion, or 2%, from $53.9 billion as of September 30, 2022.

    Third quarter 2023 average deposits of $55.2 billion increased $0.9 billion, or 2%, from the second quarter of 2023. During the third quarter, growth in average money market and time deposits was offset by declines in other deposit categories, which largely reflected our commercial and consumer customers reallocating balances to products with higher yields.
  • Strong Capital Levels – As of September 30, 2023, stockholders’ equity was $6.6 billion, or $46.62 per share, both up 2% quarter-over-quarter. The stockholders’ equity to asset ratio was 9.66% as of September 30, 2023, an increase of 23 basis points quarter-over-quarter.

    As of September 30, 2023, tangible book value3 per share was $43.29, up 2% quarter-over-quarter and 18% year-over-year. The tangible common equity ratio3 was 9.03%, an increase of 23 basis points quarter-over-quarter.

    All of East West’s regulatory capital ratios are well in excess of regulatory requirements for well-capitalized institutions, as well as above regional and national bank averages. The common equity tier 1 (“CET1”) capital ratio increased to 13.30%, and the total risk-based capital ratio increased to 14.74%, as of September 30, 2023.

OPERATING RESULTS

Third Quarter Earnings – Third quarter 2023 net income was $288 million, and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) were $2.02. While third quarter 2023 net income and EPS both decreased from the second quarter of 2023, revenue and pre-tax pre-provision income both improved.

Net income and diluted EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $922 million and $6.49, which both increased 17% from the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Tangible book value and the tangible common equity ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. See reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures in Table 13.

Third Quarter 2023 Compared to Second Quarter 2023

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income (“NII”) totaled $571 million in the third quarter, an increase of 1% from $567 million in the second quarter. Net interest margin (“NIM”) of 3.48% declined seven basis points from 3.55% in the second quarter.

  • The change in NIM was primarily driven by a higher cost of interest-bearing deposits and changes in the deposit mix in favor of higher-cost customer deposits, partially offset by lower wholesale deposit levels and higher loan volumes and yields.
  • The average loan yield was 6.51%, up 18 basis points from the second quarter. The average interest-earning asset yield was 5.87%, up 20 basis points from the second quarter.
  • The average cost of funds was 2.59%, up 28 basis points from the second quarter. The average cost of deposits was 2.43%, up 31 basis points from the second quarter.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income totaled $77 million in the third quarter, a decrease of $2 million, or 2%, from $79 million in the second quarter.

  • Fee income4 of $67 million was down $2 million, or 3%, from $69 million in the second quarter.
  • Interest rate contracts and other derivative income of $11 million was up from $7 million in the second quarter. The change primarily reflected a favorable change in mark-to-market adjustments.
  • Other investment income of $2 million was down $2 million from $4 million in the second quarter, reflecting higher recognition of equity valuation marks for Community Reinvestment Act investments during the second quarter.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $252 million in the third quarter, a decrease of 4% from $262 million in the second quarter. Third quarter noninterest expense consisted of $202 million of adjusted noninterest expense5, and $50 million in amortization expenses related to tax credit and other investments and core deposit intangibles.

  • Adjusted noninterest expense of $202 million decreased over $3 million, or 2%, from $205 million in the second quarter. This was driven by decreases in consulting expense, compensation and employee benefits, loan related expenses, and occupancy expense.
  • The efficiency ratio was 38.9% in the third quarter, compared with 40.6% in the second quarter and the adjusted efficiency ratio5 was 31.2% in the third quarter, compared with 31.8% in the second quarter.

TAX RELATED ITEMS

Third quarter 2023 income tax expense was $66 million, and the effective tax rate was 18.6%, compared with 12.7% for the second quarter of 2023. The lower effective tax rate in the second quarter was mainly due to a larger amount of tax credits in renewable energy investments that closed during the second quarter. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2023 was 18.6% compared with 22.7% for the first nine months of 2022. We currently estimate that the full year tax rate for 2023 will be between 19% - 20%.

Fee income includes lending, deposit account and wealth management fees, foreign exchange income, and interest rate contracts and other derivative income.

Adjusted noninterest expense and adjusted efficiency ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. See reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures in Table 12.

ASSET QUALITY

As of September 30, 2023, the credit quality of our loan portfolio remained solid.

  • The nonperforming assets ratio improved to 0.15% of total assets as of September 30, 2023, down from 0.17% of total assets as of June 30, 2023. Nonperforming assets decreased $12 million, or 10%, quarter-over-quarter to $104 million as of September 30, 2023, from $116 million as of June 30, 2023.
  • Third quarter 2023 net charge-offs were $18 million, or annualized 0.14% of average loans held-for-investment (“HFI”), compared with $8 million, or annualized 0.06% of average loans HFI, for the second quarter of 2023.
  • The criticized loans ratio increased 38 basis points quarter-over-quarter to 2.01% of loans HFI as of September 30, 2023, compared with 1.63% as of June 30, 2023. Criticized loans increased $210 million, or 26%, quarter-over-quarter to $1.0 billion as of September 30, 2023, compared with $812 million as of June 30, 2023. The special mention loans ratio increased 29 basis points quarter-over quarter to 0.95% of loans HFI as of September 30, 2023, compared with 0.66% as of June 30, 2023, and the classified loans ratio increased nine basis points to 1.06%.
  • The allowance for loan losses increased to $656 million, or 1.29% of loans HFI, as of September 30, 2023, compared with $635 million, or 1.28% of loans HFI, as of June 30, 2023.
  • Third quarter 2023 provision for credit losses was $42 million, compared with $26 million in the second quarter of 2023.

(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.

GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION

($ in thousands)

(unaudited)

Table 12

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 adjusted revenue. Pre-tax, pre-provision profitability ratio represents total adjusted revenue less adjusted noninterest expense, divided by average total assets. Adjusted revenue excludes the write-off of an AFS debt security (where applicable). Adjusted noninterest expense excludes the amortization of tax credit and other investments, the amortization of core deposit intangibles and the repurchase agreements’ extinguishment cost (where applicable). 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.

Table 13

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance. Tangible book value, tangible book value per share and TCE ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. Tangible book value 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.

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a $10.0 million pre-tax impairment write-off of an AFS debt security. 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 common equity that adjust for the above discussed non-recurring item provide clarity to financial statement users regarding the ongoing performance of the Company and allows comparability to prior periods.
