LOS ANGELES, Oct. 19, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Wilshire Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:WIBC) (the “Company”), the holding company for Wilshire Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $13.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. This compares to net income of $15.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted common share, for the same period of the prior year, and net income of $15.6 million, or $0.20 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2015.

Jae Whan (J.W.) Yoo, President and CEO of Wilshire Bancorp, said, “We had a very strong quarter of business development with more than $400 million in total loan production. We continue to make progress in building our commercial lending platform, which resulted in more than $100 million in C&I loan production in the third quarter, the highest quarterly production in our history. We are also seeing increasing production from our residential mortgage lending business, which originated over $100 million in loans during the third quarter. The progress we are making in building our C&I and residential mortgage lending businesses is helping us to achieve the more diversified loan portfolio that we are targeting.

“We believe we are well positioned to generate earnings growth going forward. We have excellent liquidity with a loan-to-deposit ratio below our historical range. As we redeploy our excess liquidity into higher-yielding loans and securities, we expect to see an expansion in our net interest margin, which should help drive a higher level of revenue and earnings in future quarters,” said Mr. Yoo.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

Net interest income before provision for losses on loans and loan commitments totaled $37.5 million for the third quarter of 2015, an increase of 1.9% from $36.8 million for the third quarter of 2014, and unchanged from the second quarter of 2015. Relative to the third quarter of 2014, net interest income continues to be positively impacted by an increase in average total loans.

Net interest margin was 3.49% for the third quarter of 2015, compared to 3.59% for the second quarter of 2015, and 4.26% for the third quarter of 2014. The decline in net interest margin from the second to third quarter of 2015 was primarily attributable to the growth of demand deposits and money market accounts which resulted in an increase in cash and cash equivalents.

Loan yields were 4.76% for the third quarter of 2015, compared to 4.78% for the second quarter of 2015, and 5.12% for the third quarter of 2014.

The total cost of deposits was 0.62% for the third quarter of 2015, compared to 0.61% for the second quarter of 2015, and 0.53% for the third quarter of 2014. Compared to the second quarter of 2015, the increase in the cost of deposits for the third quarter of 2015 was primarily due to an increase in rates paid on time deposit accounts.

Non-Interest Income

Total non-interest income was $9.5 million for the third quarter of 2015, compared to $11.3 million for the second quarter of 2015, and $9.6 million for the third quarter of 2014.

The Company recognized $3.2 million in net gain on sales of loans during the third quarter of 2015, compared to $4.2 million for the second quarter of 2015, and $2.4 million for the third quarter of 2014. The decline in net gain on sale of loans for the third quarter of 2015, compared to the previous quarter, was primarily due to a decline in gains from the sale of non-performing loans. Net gain on sale of loans in the third quarter of 2015 consisted of $2.0 million in gains on sales of SBA loans and $1.2 million in gains on sales of residential mortgage loans.

Other non-interest income totaled $3.3 million for the third quarter of 2015, compared to $4.0 million for the second quarter of 2015, and $3.9 million for the third quarter of 2014. The decrease in other non-interest income from the second to third quarter of 2015 was primarily due to a decline in FHLB dividend income.

Non-Interest Expense

Total non-interest expense was $25.8 million for the third quarter of 2015, compared with $24.7 million for the second quarter of 2015, and $23.2 million for the third quarter of 2014. The increase in non-interest expense from the prior quarter was primarily due to an increase in other non-interest expenses that resulted from a reduction in net gain on sale of OREO during the third quarter of 2015.

Total salaries and employee benefits expense was $13.6 million for the third quarter of 2015, compared with $14.2 million for the second quarter of 2015, and $12.3 million for the third quarter of 2014. The decrease in salaries and employee benefits for the third quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2015 was largely due to a decline in stock compensation expenses which were higher during the second quarter of 2015 due to stock awards that were issued during second quarter.

The Company’s operating efficiency ratio was 54.80% for the third quarter of 2015, compared with 50.56% for the second quarter of 2015, and 50.12% for the third quarter of 2014.

BALANCE SHEET

Total loans receivable (net of deferred fees and costs) were $3.63 billion at September 30, 2015, compared to $3.52 billion at June 30, 2015. The increase in loans during the third quarter of 2015 was spread across all of the Company’s major portfolios aside from consumer loans.

Originations for the third quarter of 2015 totaled $416.2 million, compared to $292.9 million for the second quarter of 2015, and $399.2 million for the third quarter of 2014. The increase in loan origination for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the previous quarter, was due to an increase in real estate, commercial and industrial, and residential loans.

Total SBA loans held-for-sale at the end of the third quarter of 2015 were $2.2 million, compared to $5.9 million at the end of the previous quarter. The decision to retain or sell SBA loans is made on a quarter-to-quarter basis, depending on prevailing pricing in the secondary market and the Company’s liquidity needs.

Total deposits were $3.94 billion at September 30, 2015, compared with $3.90 billion at June 30, 2015. The increase in total deposits was attributable to growth in lower-cost deposit categories.

CREDIT QUALITY

During the third quarter of 2015, the Company continued to experience general stability in asset quality and a low level of charge-offs.  However, due primarily to growth in the loan portfolio, the Company recorded a provision for losses on loans and loan commitments of $700,000 during the third quarter of 2015.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $50.1 million, or 1.38% of gross loans (excluding loans held-for-sale), at September 30, 2015, compared to $48.8 million, also 1.38% of gross loans (excluding loans held-for-sale), at June 30, 2015. The coverage ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing assets was 130.2% at September 30, 2015, compared with 130.5% at June 30, 2015.

Non-Performing Loans
