Hanmi Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note 1 — Organization and Basis of Presentation
Hanmi Financial Corporation (“Hanmi Financial,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is a bank holding company whose primary subsidiary is Hanmi Bank (the “Bank”). Our primary operations are related to traditional banking activities, including the acceptance of deposits and the lending and investing of money by the Bank.
In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Hanmi Financial and its subsidiaries reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period ended June 30, 2025. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. The unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Operating results for the three or six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2025 or for any other period. The interim information should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K”).
The preparation of interim unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the unaudited financial statements and disclosures provided, and actual results could differ.
Descriptions of our significant accounting policies are included in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Effective January 1, 2025, the Company changed its methodology for estimating expected credit losses on its loan portfolio in accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-23, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. Prior to January 1, 2025, the Company primarily used a Probability of Default / Loss Given Default (PD/LGD) model to determine the allowance for credit losses. Following a periodic review of its credit loss estimation process, the Company concluded that a historical loss rate approach, adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts, more appropriately reflected the expected credit losses for its loan portfolio. This change is considered a change in accounting estimate resulting from a change in methodology and assumptions and was accounted for prospectively in accordance with ASC 250-10-45-17 through 45-18.
The change in methodology had an immaterial impact to the Company’s operating results and financial condition. The provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 reflects this change in estimate. Management believes the revised approach enhances the accuracy and relevance of its allowance for credit losses by aligning the methodology more closely with the Company’s historical experience, the nature of its loan portfolio, and expectations for future economic conditions.
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2025
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740):Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures: In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 to enhance the transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures primarily related to income tax rate reconciliation and income tax information. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not have a material effect on the Company’s operating results or financial condition.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Effective
ASU 2024-03, Income Statement Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), as amended by ASU 2025-01, Clarifying the Effective Date: In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2024-03 to require additional information about specific expense categories in the financial statement notes at interim and annual reporting periods. The amendments in this ASU do not change or remove current expense disclosure requirements. The amendments affect where the information appears in the financial statement notes. ASU 2025-01 amends the changes in ASU 2024-03 to be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. The adoption of ASU 2024-03 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s operating results or financial condition.

The Company evaluates its available for sale securities portfolio for impairment on a quarterly basis. The Company did not recognize unrealized losses in income because it has the ability and the intent to hold and does not expect to be required to sell these securities until the recovery of their cost basis. The quarterly impairment assessment considers the changes in the credit quality of these debt securities since acquisition and the likelihood of a credit loss occurring over the life of the securities. If a credit loss is expected to occur, an allowance is established and a corresponding credit loss is recognized. Based on its analysis, as of June 30, 2025, the Company determined that no credit losses were expected to be realized on the tax-exempt municipal bond portfolio. The remainder of the portfolio consists of U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. government agency securities, and U.S. government sponsored agency securities, all of which have the backing of the U.S. government, and are therefore not expected to incur credit losses.
There were no sales of securities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 or June 30, 2024.
Securities available for sale with market values of $27.9 million and $29.4 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, were pledged to secure borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) Discount Window.
At June 30, 2025, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. government and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of stockholders’ equity.

Allowance for Credit Losses
Effective January 1, 2025, we transitioned to a new allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) model to perform our ACL analysis. Part of the transition to the new model, in addition to the factors previously mentioned, includes a change in our methodology on commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, and residential loans. The change in models did not result in a material change in our ACL as of January 1, 2025. The table below includes in credit loss expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 the effect of the ACL model change of $1.4 million.

Loan Quality Indicators
As part of the on-going monitoring of the quality of our loans portfolio, we utilize an internal loan grading system to identify credit risk and assign an appropriate grade (from 1 to 8) for each loan in our portfolio. Third-party loan reviews are conducted annually on a sample basis. Additional adjustments are made when determined to be necessary. The loan grade definitions are as follows:
Pass and Pass-Watch: Pass and Pass-Watch loans, grades (1-4), are in compliance with the Bank’s credit policy and regulatory requirements, and do not exhibit any potential or defined weaknesses as defined under “Special Mention”, “Substandard” or “Doubtful.” This category is the strongest level of the Bank’s loan grading system. It consists of all performing loans with no identified credit weaknesses. It includes cash and stock/security secured loans or other investment grade loans.
Special Mention: A Special Mention loan, grade (5), has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If not corrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment of the debt and result in a Substandard classification. Loans that have significant actual, not potential, weaknesses are considered more severely classified.
Substandard: A Substandard loan, grade (6), has a well-defined weakness that jeopardizes the liquidation of the debt. A loan graded Substandard is not protected by the sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower, or of the value and type of collateral pledged. With a Substandard loan, there is a distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the weaknesses or deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful: A Doubtful loan, grade (7), is one that has critical weaknesses that would make the collection or liquidation of the full amount due improbable. However, there may be pending events which may work to strengthen the loan, and therefore the amount or timing of a possible loss cannot be determined at the current time.
Loss: A loan classified as Loss, grade (8), is considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as active bank assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this asset even though partial recovery may be possible in the future. Loans classified as Loss will be charged off in a timely manner.
Under regulatory guidance, loans graded special mention or worse are considered criticized loans, and loans graded substandard or worse are considered classified loans.

At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we serviced loans sold to unaffiliated parties of $565.7 million and $560.1 million, respectively. These represented loans that were sold for which the Bank continues to provide servicing. These loans are maintained off-balance sheet and are not included in the loans receivable balance. At June 30, 2025, all the loans serviced, except for $33.4 million of residential mortgage loans, were SBA loans.
The Company recorded servicing fee income of $1.3 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively and $2.6 million and $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Servicing fee income, net of the amortization of servicing assets, is included in other operating income in the consolidated statements of income. Amortization expense was $0.7 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and $1.4 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
The fair value of servicing rights was $8.1 million at June 30, 2025 and was determined using discount rates ranging from 11.2% to 18.7% and prepayment speeds ranging from 9.9% to 27.7%, depending on the stratification of the specific right. The fair value of servicing rights was $7.9 million at December 31, 2024 and was determined using discount rates ranging from 10.8% to 27.3% and prepayment speeds ranging from 15.4% to 21.2%, depending on the stratification of the specific right.
Note 5 — Income Taxes
The Company’s income tax expense was $6.1 million and $6.0 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 28.8% and 29.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company's income tax expense was $13.6 million and $12.5 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 29.3% and 29.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Management concluded that as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, a valuation allowance of $1.5 million was appropriate against certain state net operating loss carry forwards. For all other deferred tax assets, management believes it was more likely than not these deferred tax assets will be realized principally through future taxable income and reversal of existing taxable temporary differences. Net deferred tax assets were $36.8 million and $38.2 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company was subject to examination for its federal tax returns for years ending after December 31, 2020 and for state tax returns for the periods ended after December 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2025, the Company is under audit with the State of New York for tax years 2021 and 2022. During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, there was no material change to the Company’s uncertain tax positions. The Company does not expect its unrecognized tax positions to change significantly over the next twelve months.
23
Note 6 — Goodwill
Goodwill of $11.0 million was recorded as a result of the acquisition of an equipment financing agreements portfolio in 2016. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying amount of goodwill was $11.0 million.
The Company performed an impairment analysis in the second quarter of 2025 and determined there was no impairment as of June 30, 2025. No triggering event occurred as of, or subsequent to June 30, 2025, that would require a reassessment of goodwill.

The Bank maintains a secured credit facility with the FHLB, allowing the Bank to borrow on an overnight, open (no maturity) and a term basis. The Bank had pledged $2.40 billion and $2.46 billion of loans at carrying values as collateral with the FHLB as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The remaining available borrowing capacity was $1.52 billion and $1.69 billion at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The Bank also had securities pledged with the FRB with market values of $27.9 million and $29.4 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The pledged securities provided $26.1 million; and $27.6 million in available borrowing capacity through the Fed Discount Window as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
On August 20, 2021, the Company issued $110.0 million of Fixed-to-Floating Subordinated Notes (“2031 Notes”) with a maturity date of September 1, 2031. The 2031 Notes have an initial fixed interest rate of 3.75% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, up to but excluding September 1, 2026. From and including September 1, 2026 and thereafter, the 2031 Notes will bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the Three-Month Term SOFR plus 310 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year. If the then current three-month term SOFR rate is less than zero, the three-month SOFR will be deemed to be zero. Debt issuance cost was $2.1 million, which is being amortized through the 2031 Notes’ maturity date. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the balance of the 2031 Notes included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet, net of issuance cost, was $108.6 million and $108.5 million, respectively.
The Company assumed Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (“Subordinated Debentures”) as a result of an acquisition in 2014 with an unpaid principal balance of $26.8 million and an estimated fair value of $18.5 million. The $8.3 million discount is being amortized to interest expense through the debentures’ maturity date of March 15, 2036. A trust was formed in 2005, which issued $26.0 million of Trust Preferred Securities (“TPS”) at a 6.26% fixed rate for the first five years and a variable rate of three-month LIBOR plus 140 basis points thereafter and invested the proceeds in the Subordinated Debentures. Beginning September 15, 2023, the variable rate on the TPS changed to three-month SOFR plus 166 basis points, representing the credit spread of 140 basis points and a 26 basis point adjustment to convert three-month LIBOR to three-month SOFR. The rate on the TPS at June 30, 2025 was 5.98%. The TPS will be subject to mandatory redemption if the Subordinated Debentures are repaid by the Company. Interest is payable quarterly, and the Company has the option to defer interest payments on the Subordinated Debentures from time to time for a period not to exceed five consecutive years. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the balance of Subordinated Debentures included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, net of discount of $4.5 million and $4.7 million, was $22.3 million and $22.1 million, respectively. The amortization of discount was $112,000 and $104,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Note 9 — Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated on both a basic and a diluted basis. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted from the issuance of common stock that then shared in earnings, excluding common shares in treasury. For diluted EPS, the weighted-average number of common shares includes the impact of unvested performance stock units (“PSUs”) under the treasury method.
Unvested restricted stock containing rights to non-forfeitable dividends are considered participating securities prior to vesting and have been included in the earnings allocation in computing basic and diluted EPS under the two-class method.

Per share amounts may not be able to be recalculated using net income and weighted-average shares presented above due to rounding.
On a weighted-average basis, options to purchase 3,000 and 31,000 shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. There were no anti-dilutive unvested PSUs outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 91,732 anti-dilutive unvested PSUs outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, 53,509 PSUs were awarded to executive officers from the 2021 Equity Compensation Plan, with a fair value of $1.2 million on the grant date. 88,598 PSUs were awarded to executive officers during the six months ended June 30, 2024 with a fair value of $1.3 million on the grant date. These units have a three-year cliff vesting period and include dividend equivalent rights. Total PSUs outstanding as of June 30, 2025 were 191,804 with an aggregate grant fair value of $3.5 million. Total PSUs outstanding as of June 30, 2024 were 180,330 with an aggregate grant fair value of $3.4 million.

Note 10 — Regulatory Matters
Federal bank regulatory agencies require bank holding companies and banks to maintain a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0% and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.0%. In addition to the risk-based guidelines, federal bank regulatory agencies require bank holding companies and banks to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to average assets, referred to as the leverage ratio, of 4.0%.
In order for banks to be considered “well capitalized,” federal bank regulatory agencies require a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets of 10.0% and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%. In addition to the risk-based guidelines, federal bank regulatory agencies require depository institutions to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to average assets, referred to as the leverage ratio, of 5.0%.
At June 30, 2025, the Bank’s capital ratios exceeded the minimum requirements for the Bank to be considered “well capitalized” and the Company exceeded all of its applicable minimum regulatory capital ratio requirements.
A capital conservation buffer of 2.5% must be met to avoid limitations on the ability of the Bank and the Company to pay dividends, repurchase shares or pay discretionary bonuses. The Bank's capital conservation buffer was 6.39% and 6.43% and the Company's capital conservation buffer was 6.46% and 6.46% as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
In March 2020, federal banking agencies announced an interim final rule to delay the impact on regulatory capital arising from the implementation of the Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") methodology contained in ASU 2016-13. The interim final rule maintains the three-year transition option in the previous rule and provides banks the option to delay for two years an estimate of CECL’s effect on regulatory capital, relative to the incurred loss methodology’s effect on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period (five-year transition option). The Company and the Bank adopted the capital transition relief over the permissible five-year period. Effective January 1, 2025, the capital transition relief period terminated.

Note 11 — Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value including a three-level valuation hierarchy, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The three-level fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are defined as follows:
•
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
•
Level 2 - Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
•
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
Fair value is used on a recurring basis for certain assets and liabilities in which fair value is the primary basis of accounting. Additionally, fair value is used on a non-recurring basis to evaluate assets or liabilities for impairment or for disclosure purposes.
We record securities available for sale at fair value on a recurring basis. Certain other assets, such as loans held for sale, impaired loans, OREO, and core deposit intangible, are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Non-recurring fair value measurements typically involve assets that are periodically evaluated for impairment and for which any impairment is recorded in the period in which the re-measurement is performed.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument below:
Securities available for sale - The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities, or other model-based valuation techniques requiring observable inputs other than quoted prices such as yield curve, prepayment speeds, and default rates. Level 1 securities include U.S. Treasury securities that are traded on an active exchange or by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets. The fair value of these securities is determined by quoted prices on an active exchange or over-the-counter market. Level 2 securities primarily include U.S. government agency and sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and debt securities as well as municipal bonds in markets that are active. In determining the fair value of the securities categorized as Level 2, we obtain reports from nationally recognized broker-dealers detailing the fair value of each investment security held as of each reporting date. The broker-dealers use prices obtained from nationally recognized pricing services to value our fixed income securities. The fair value of the municipal securities is determined based on pricing data provided by nationally recognized pricing services. We review the prices obtained for reasonableness based on our understanding of the marketplace, and also consider any credit issues related to the bonds. As we have not made any adjustments to the market quotes provided to us and as they are based on observable market data, they have been categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Level 3 securities are instruments that are not traded in the market. As such, no observable market data for the instrument is available, which necessitates the use of significant unobservable inputs.
Derivatives – The fair values of derivatives are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2). Our derivatives are traded in an over-the-counter market where quoted market prices are not always available. Therefore, the fair values of derivatives are determined using quantitative models that utilize multiple market inputs. The inputs will vary based on the type of derivative, but could include interest rates, prices and indices to generate continuous yield or pricing curves, prepayment rates, and volatility factors to value the position. The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third-party pricing services.
28
Loans held for sale - Loans held for sale includes the guaranteed portion of SBA 7(a) loans carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Management obtains quotes, bids or pricing indication sheets on all or part of the loans directly from the purchasing financial institutions. Premiums received or to be received on the quotes, bids or pricing indication sheets are indicative of the fact that cost is lower than fair value. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the SBA 7(a) loans held for sale were recorded at its cost. We record SBA 7(a) loans held for sale on a nonrecurring basis with Level 2 inputs.
Nonperforming loans – Nonaccrual loans receivable and loans 90-days past due and still accruing interest are considered nonperforming for reporting purposes. All nonperforming loans with a carrying balance over $250,000 are individually evaluated for the amount of impairment, if any. Nonperforming loans with a carrying balance of $250,000 or less are evaluated collectively. However, from time to time, nonrecurring fair value adjustments to collateral dependent nonperforming loans, for which repayment is expected to be obtained through the sale of the underlying collateral, are recorded based on either the current appraised value of the collateral, or management’s judgment, that are then adjusted based on recent market trends. When the fair value of the collateral is less than the book value, a valuation allowance is established to carry the loan at the fair value of the collateral, and results in a Level 3 measurement.
OREO - Fair value of OREO is based primarily on third party appraisals, less costs to sell and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Appraisals are required annually and may be updated more frequently as circumstances require and the fair value adjustments are made to OREO based on the updated appraised value of the property.
Servicing assets - On a quarterly basis, the Company utilizes a third party service to evaluate servicing assets related to loans sold to unaffiliated parties with servicing retained, and result in a Level 3 classification. Servicing assets are assessed for impairment or increased obligation based on fair value at each reporting date.
Other repossessed assets – Fair value of equipment from equipment financing agreements is based primarily on a third party valuation service, less costs to sell and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Valuations are required at the time the asset is repossessed and may be subsequently updated periodically due to the Company’s short-term possession of the asset prior to sale or as circumstances require and the fair value adjustments are made to the asset based on its value prior to sale.

Appraisal reports utilize a combination of valuation techniques including a market approach, where prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving similar or comparable properties are used to determine the appraised value. Appraisals may include an ‘as is’ and ‘upon completion’ valuation scenarios. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by third-party appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data. Adjustments also result from the consideration of relevant economic and demographic factors with the potential to affect property values. Also, prospective values are based on the market conditions which exist at the date of inspection combined with informed forecasts based on current trends in supply and demand for the property types under appraisal. Positive adjustments disclosed in this table represent increases to the sales comparison and negative adjustments represent decreases.

The equipment is usually too small in value to use a professional appraisal service. The values are determined internally using a combination of auction values, vendor recommendations and sales comparisons depending on the equipment type. Some highly commoditized equipment, such as commercial trucks have services that provide industry values.
ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis are discussed above.
The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we could realize in a current market

exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Topic 825),among other provisions, requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. Other than certain financial instruments for which we had concluded that the carrying amounts approximate fair value, the fair value estimates shown below were based on an exit price notion as of June 30, 2025, as required by ASU 2016-01. The financial instruments for which we had concluded that the carrying amounts approximate fair value include cash and due from banks, accrued interest receivable and payable, and noninterest-bearing deposits.
The estimated fair values of financial instruments were as follows:

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it was practicable to estimate that value are explained below:
Cash and due from banks – The carrying amounts of cash and due from banks approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments (Level 1).
Securities – The fair value of securities, consisting of securities available for sale, is generally obtained from market bids for similar or identical securities, from independent securities brokers or dealers, or from other model-based valuation techniques
33
described above (Level 1 and 2).
Loans held for sale – Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair market value, as determined based upon quotes, bids or sales contract prices (Levels 1 and 2).
Loans receivable, net of allowance for credit losses – The fair value of loans receivable is estimated based on the discounted cash flow approach. To estimate the fair value of the loans, certain loan characteristics such as account types, remaining terms, annual interest rates or coupons, interest types, past delinquencies, timing of principal and interest payments, current market rates, loan-to-value ratios, loss exposures, and remaining balances are considered. Additionally, the Company’s prior charge-off rates and loss ratios as well as various other assumptions relating to credit, interest, and prepayment risks are used as part of valuing the loan portfolio. Subsequently, the loans were individually evaluated by sorting and pooling them based on loan types, credit risk grades, and payment types. Consistent with the requirements of ASU 2016-01, the fair value of the Company's loans receivable is considered to be an exit price notion as of June 30, 2025 (Level 3).
The fair value of collateral dependent loans is estimated based on the net realizable fair value of the collateral or the observable market price of the most recent sale or quoted price from loans held for sale. The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. Nonrecurring fair value adjustments to collateral dependent loans are recorded based on the current appraised value of the collateral (Level 3).
Accrued interest receivable – The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value (Level 1).
Noninterest-bearing deposits – The fair value of noninterest-bearing deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (Level 2).
Interest-bearing deposits – The fair value of interest-bearing deposits, such as savings accounts, money market checking, and certificates of deposit, is estimated based on discounted cash flows. The cash flows for non-maturity deposits, including savings accounts and money market checking, are estimated based on their historical decaying experiences. The discount rate used for fair valuation is based on interest rates currently being offered by the Bank on comparable deposits as to amount and term (Level 3).
Borrowings and subordinated debentures – Borrowings consist of FHLB advances, subordinated debentures and other borrowings. Discounted cash flows based on current market rates for borrowings with similar remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of borrowings (Level 2 and 3).
Accrued interest payable – The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value (Level 1).

Note 12 — Off-Balance Sheet Commitments
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk similar to the risk involved with on-balance sheet items.
The Bank’s exposure to losses in the event of non-performance by the other party to commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon an extension of credit, was based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, premises and equipment, and income-producing or borrower-occupied properties.
Some of the commitments to fund existing loans, lines of credit and letters of credit are expected to expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. As of June 30, 2025, the Bank was obligated on $150.0 million of letters of credit to the FHLB of San Francisco, which were being used as collateral for $150.0 million in public fund deposits from the State of California.

The allowance for credit losses related to off-balance sheet items was maintained at a level believed to be sufficient to absorb current expected lifetime losses related to these unfunded credit facilities. The determination of the allowance adequacy was based on periodic evaluations of the unfunded credit facilities including an assessment of the probability of commitment usage, credit risk factors for loans outstanding to these same customers, and the terms and expiration dates of the unfunded credit facilities.
Activity in the allowance for credit losses related to off-balance sheet items was as follows for the periods indicated:

Note 13 — Leases
The Company enters into leases in the normal course of business primarily for bank branch offices, back-office operations locations, business development offices, information technology data centers and information technology equipment. The Company’s leases have remaining terms ranging from one month to nine years, some of which include renewal or termination options to extend the lease for up to ten years.
The Company includes lease extension and termination options in the lease term if, after considering relevant economic factors, it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option. In addition, the Company has elected to account for any non-lease components in its real estate leases as part of the associated lease component. The Company has also elected not to recognize leases with original lease terms of 12 months or less (short-term leases) on the Company’s balance sheet.
Leases are classified as operating or finance leases at the lease commencement date. Lease expense for operating leases and short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.
35
Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of the lease payments over the lease term.
As of June 30, 2025, the outstanding balances for our right-of-use asset and lease liability were $34.6 million and $38.7 million, respectively. The outstanding balances of the right-of-use asset and lease liability were $35.6 million and $39.8 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024. The right-of-use asset is reported in prepaid expenses and other assets line item and lease liability is reported in accrued expenses and other liabilities line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In determining the discount rates, since most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we used our incremental borrowing rate provided by the FHLB of San Francisco based on the information available at the commencement date to calculate the present value of lease payments.
At June 30, 2025, future minimum rental commitments under these non-cancelable operating leases, with initial or remaining terms of one year or more, were as follows:

Net lease expense recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were $2.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively. This included operating lease costs of $2.1 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Net lease expense recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $4.2 million and $4.7 million, respectively. Operating lease costs were $4.3 million and $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Sublease income for operating leases was immaterial for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Weighted average remaining lease terms for the Company's operating leases were 5.93 years and 6.35 years as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Weighted average discount rates used for the Company's operating leases were 3.37% and 3.30% as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Cash paid and included in cash flows from operating activities for amounts used in the measurement of the lease liability of the Company's operating leases was $2.2 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $4.4 million and $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Note 14 — Liquidity
Hanmi Financial
As of June 30, 2025, Hanmi Financial had $8.9 million in cash on deposit with its bank subsidiary and $43.2 million of U.S. Treasury securities at fair value. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $11.4 million in cash on deposit with its bank subsidiary and $38.8 million of U.S. Treasury securities at fair value. Management believes that Hanmi Financial, on a stand-alone basis, had adequate liquid assets to meet its current debt obligations.
Hanmi Bank
The principal objective of our liquidity management program is to maintain the Bank’s ability to meet the day-to-day cash flow requirements of its customers who wish either to withdraw funds or to draw upon credit facilities to meet their cash needs. Management believes that the Bank, on a stand-alone basis, has adequate liquid assets to meet its current obligations. The Bank’s primary funding source will continue to be deposits originating from its branch platform. The Bank’s wholesale funds historically consisted of FHLB advances, brokered deposits, as well as State of California time deposits. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bank had $127.5 million and $262.5 million of FHLB advances, and $85.5 million and $60.7 million of brokered deposits,
36
respectively. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bank had $150.0 million and $120.0 million of State of California time deposits, respectively.
We monitor the sources and uses of funds on a regular basis to maintain an acceptable liquidity position. The Bank’s primary source of borrowings is the FHLB, from which the Bank is eligible to borrow up to 30% of its assets. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the total borrowing capacity available, based on pledged collateral was $1.80 billion and $1.69 billion, respectively. The remaining available borrowing capacity was $1.52 billion and $1.30 billion as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The amount that the FHLB is willing to advance differs based on the quality and character of qualifying collateral pledged by the Bank, and the FHLB may adjust the advance rates for qualifying collateral upwards or downwards from time to time. To the extent deposit renewals and deposit growth are not sufficient to fund maturing and withdrawable deposits, repay maturing borrowings, fund existing and future loans, equipment financing agreements and securities, and otherwise fund working capital needs and capital expenditures, the Bank may utilize the remaining borrowing capacity from its FHLB borrowing arrangement.
As a means of augmenting its liquidity, the Bank also had an available borrowing source of $26.1 million from the Federal Reserve Discount Window, to which the Bank pledged securities with a carrying value of $33.4 million, with no borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2025. At December 31, 2024, the available borrowing capacity through the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco Discount Window was $27.6 million on pledged securities with market values of $29.4 million, with no borrowings outstanding. The Bank also maintains a line of credit for repurchase agreements up to $100.0 million. The Bank also had three unsecured federal funds lines of credit totaling $140.0 million with nooutstanding balances as of June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
Note 15 — Derivatives and Hedging Activities
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivative
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and through the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates.
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments - Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest income and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making variable-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate assets. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company entered into a $100.0 million notional interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge, with an effective date of May 1, 2024 and a maturity date of May 1, 2026, to hedge a pool of Prime Rate-indexed loans against falling rates. The principal balance of the loan pool designated for the Prime Rate-indexed loans was $131.4 million as of June 30, 2025. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company entered into a $75.0 million notional interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge, with an effective date of May 1, 2024 and a maturity date of May 1, 2026, to hedge a pool of one-month SOFR-indexed loans against falling rates. The principal balance of the loan pool designated for the SOFR-indexed loans was $101.5 million as of June 30, 2025.
For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into interest income in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s derivatives designated as cash flow hedges at inception and at the balance sheet date and determined they are effective. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest income as interest payments are received on the Company’s variable-rate asset. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional $0.1 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest income.
37
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
The Company also enters into interest rate swap agreements between the Company and its customers and other third-party counterparties. The Company enters into “back to back swap” arrangements whereby the Company executes interest rate swap agreements with its customers and acquires an offsetting swap position from a third-party counterparty. These derivative financial statements are accounted for at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.
The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision stating if the Company either defaults or is capable of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. In addition, these agreements may also require the Company to post additional collateral should it fail to maintain its status as a well- or adequately- capitalized institution.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $0. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no collateral was provided related to these agreements.
Note 16 — Segment Reporting
The Company has one reportable segment, Banking, as determined by the Chief Financial Officer, who is designated the chief operating decision maker, based upon information provided about the Company's products and services offered, which are primarily banking operations. The Banking segment is also distinguished by the level of information provided to the chief operating decision maker, who uses such information to review performance of various components of the business. The chief operating decision maker uses net interest income, net interest margin, non-interest income, non-interest expense, credit loss expense, and net income to assess performance and in the determination of allocating resources. These metrics, coupled with monitoring of budget to actual results, are used in assessment performance and in establishing compensation. Loans, investments, and deposits provide the revenues in our banking operations. Interest expense, provisions for credit losses, and salaries and benefits provide the significant expenses in our banking operations.
The following table presents information reported internally for performance assessment by the chief operating decision maker for the following periods:

Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the statements contained in this Report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements in this Report other than statements of historical fact are “forward–looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including, but not limited to, statements about anticipated future operating and financial performance, financial condition and liquidity, business strategies, regulatory and competitive outlook, investment and expenditure plans, capital and financing needs and availability, plans and objectives of management for future operations, developments regarding our capital and strategic plans and other similar forecasts and statements of expectation and statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.

•
changes in accounting policies and practices;
•
changes in governmental regulation, including, but not limited to, any increase in FDIC insurance premiums and changes in the monetary policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System;
•

For additional information concerning risks we face, see “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Report and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I of the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which such statements were made, except as required by law.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have established various accounting policies that govern the application of GAAP in the preparation of our financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are described in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We had no significant changes in what constituted our accounting policies since the filing of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Certain accounting policies require us to make significant estimates and assumptions that have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities, and we consider these to be critical accounting policies. For a description of these critical accounting policies, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies” in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material impact on the carrying value of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and our results of operations for the reporting periods. Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.
Executive Overview
Net income was $15.1 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared with $14.5 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago. The increase in net income was driven by a $8.5 million increase in net interest income, offset by a $6.6 million increase in credit loss expense, a $1.1 million increase in noninterest expense, and a $0.1 million higher income tax expense. Credit loss expense for the second quarter of 2025 was $7.6 million compared with a $1.0 million expense for the second quarter of 2024.
Net income was $32.8 million, or $1.08 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared with $29.6 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago. The $3.2 million increase in net income was driven by a $13.0 million increase in net interest income and a $0.4 million decrease in noninterest expense, offset by increases in credit loss expense of $9.2 million and income tax expense of $1.0 million. Credit loss expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $10.4 million compared with credit loss expense of $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Loans receivable increased by $58.0 million, or 0.94%, to $6.24 billion as of June 30, 2025, compared with $6.18 billion as of December 31, 2024. The net increase was due to loan production of $0.7 billion, offset by payoffs, loan sales, and prepayments of $0.6 billion.
•
Deposits were $6.73 billion at June 30, 2025 compared with $6.44 billion at December 31, 2024 as money market and savings accounts increased by $159.3 million, time deposits increased by $115.5 million, and demand deposits increased by $18.9 million.
•
Return on average assets and return on average stockholders’ equity for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were 0.86% and 8.19%, respectively, as compared with 0.79% and 7.70%, respectively for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Results of Operations
Net Interest Income
Our primary source of revenue is net interest income, which is the difference between interest derived from earning assets, and interest paid on liabilities obtained to fund those assets. Our net interest income is affected by changes in the level and mix of
46
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as volume changes. Net interest income is also affected by changes in the yields earned on assets and rates paid on liabilities, referred to as rate changes. Interest rates charged on loans are affected principally by changes to market interest rates, the demand for loans receivable, the supply of money available for lending purposes, and other competitive factors. Those factors are, in turn, affected by general economic conditions and other factors beyond our control, such as federal economic policies, the general supply of money in the economy, legislative tax policies, governmental budgetary matters, and the actions of the Federal Reserve.
The following table shows the average balance of assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity, the amount of interest income, and interest expense, the average yield or rate for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the net interest spread and the net interest margin on a taxable-equivalent basis for the periods indicated. All average balances are daily average balances.

Securities average yield is calculated on a fully taxable equivalent basis using the current statutory federal tax rate of 21%.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, net interest income was $57.1 million and $48.6 million, respectively. The increase of $8.5 million was due to a decrease in interest expense and an increase in interest and dividend income. The net interest spread and net interest margin, on a taxable equivalent basis, for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, were 1.76% and 3.07%, respectively, compared with 1.16% and 2.69%, respectively, for the same period in 2024. Interest and dividend income increased $2.7 million, or 2.7%, to $101.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $98.7 million for the same period in 2024 primarily due to an increase in the average balance of loans. Interest expense decreased $5.8 million, or 11.7%, to $44.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $50.0 million for the same period in 2024 primarily due to decreases in deposit rates.
The average balance of interest earning assets increased $202.7 million, or 2.8%, to $7.47 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $7.27 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The average balance of loans increased $168.3 million, or 2.8%, to $6.26 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $6.09 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The average balance of securities was $1.0 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits at other banks increased $20.1 million, or 11.1%, to $200.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $180.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
The average yield on interest-earning assets, on a taxable equivalent basis, decreased two basis points to 5.44% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from 5.46% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The average yield on loans decreased to 5.93% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from 5.99% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The average yield on securities, on a taxable equivalent basis, increased to 2.55% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from 2.17% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in the average yield on securities was primarily due to the Company using the proceeds from lower-coupon maturing securities to reinvest into higher-coupon securities.
The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $132.0 million, or 2.8%, to $4.82 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared with $4.68 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The average balances of money market and savings accounts and increased $263.4 million, offset partially by decreases in borrowings of $109.4 million and in interest-bearing demand deposits and time deposits of $4.1 million and $18.5 million, respectively. The increase in average balances of money market and savings accounts was due to an increase in new commercial accounts. The decrease in the average balance of time deposits was due to the shift to money market and savings accounts as market rates decreased. The decrease in the average balance of borrowings during the three months ended June 30, 2025 was due to the increase in the average balance on interest-bearing deposits.
49
The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 3.68% and 4.30% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 63 basis points to 3.64% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared with 4.27% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The average cost of time deposits decreased 73 basis points to 4.05% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared with 4.78% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The average cost of money market and savings accounts decreased 47 basis points to 3.30% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared with 3.77% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in the cost of deposits was due to a decrease in deposit market rates. The average cost of borrowings increased to 4.58% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared with 4.50% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as the lower-rate borrowings matured or were paid off.
The following table shows the average balance of assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity; the amount of interest income, and interest expense; the average yield or rate for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities; and the net interest spread and the net interest margin on a taxable-equivalent basis for the periods indicated. All average balances are daily average balances.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, net interest income was $112.2 million and $99.3 million, respectively. The increase of $12.9 million was primarily due to a decrease in interest expense due to decreases in deposit rates. The net interest spread and net interest margin, on a taxable equivalent basis, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, were 1.73% and 3.05%, respectively, compared with 1.22% and 2.74%, respectively, for the same period in 2024.

Interest expense decreased $10.6 million, or 10.7%, to $88.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $99.0 million for the same period in 2024 primarily due to decreases in deposit rates.

The average balances of money market and savings accounts increased by $242.9 million while the average balance of time deposits decreased $90.2 million. The increase in average balances of money market and savings accounts was due to an increase in new commercial accounts. The decrease in the average balance of time deposits was due to the shift to money market and savings accounts as market rates decreased. The decrease in the average balance of borrowings was due to an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits.
The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 3.72% and 4.24% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, noninterest expense was $36.3 million, an increase of $1.1 million, or 3.0%, compared with $35.3 million for the same period in 2024.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, noninterest expense was $71.3 million, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 0.5%, compared with $71.7 million for the same period in 2024.

Special mention loans were $12.7 million and $139.6 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The $126.9 million decrease in the first six months of 2025 reflected loan upgrades of $105.8 million on a commercial and industrial loan during the first quarter and two commercial real estate loans during the second quarter, paydowns of $20.0 million and amortization of $1.5 million, offset by downgrades of $0.4 million. The $28.4 million decrease in special mention loans during the six months ended June 30, 2024 reflected upgrades to pass loans of $19.4 million, downgrades to classified loans of $8.0 million, and paydowns and payoffs of $3.7 million, offset by downgrades from pass loans of $2.7 million. The upgrades to pass loans were primarily attributable to upgrades of two commercial and industrial loans totaling $13.6 million and one commercial real estate loan of $4.3 million during the second quarter of 2024.
Classified loans were $33.9 million and $25.7 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The $8.2 million increase in classified loans for the six months ended June 30, 2025 resulted from $25.2 million of loan downgrades and $5.8 million of additions to classified loans. The increase in loan downgrades was primarily the result of a $20.0 million commercial real estate office loan designated as nonaccrual during the first quarter of 2025. Additions were offset by $14.6 million of charge-offs, including an $8.6 million charge-off during the second quarter of 2025 on the previously mentioned office loan and $5.6 million of equipment financing charge-offs, $4.3 million of upgrades, $2.6 million of amortization and paydowns and $1.3 million of payoffs. The $2.5 million increase in classified loans during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily driven by new downgrades to classified of $17.6 million, offset by payoffs of $8.3 million, charge-offs of $3.7 million, and paydowns and amortization of $3.1 million.
Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming loans consist of nonaccrual loans and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest. Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans and OREO. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of management, the full timely collection of principal or interest is in doubt. Generally, the accrual of interest is discontinued when principal or interest payments become more than 90 days past due, unless we believe the loan is adequately collateralized and in the process of collection. However, in certain instances, we may place a particular loan on nonaccrual status earlier, depending upon the individual circumstances surrounding the loan’s delinquency. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but
57
unpaid interest is reversed against current income. Subsequent collections of cash are applied as principal reductions when received, except when the ultimate collectability of principal is probable, in which case interest payments are credited to income. Nonaccrual loans may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest become current and full repayment is expected, which generally occurs after sustained payment of six months. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis for loans not meeting the criteria for nonaccrual. OREO consists of properties acquired by foreclosure or similar means.
Except for nonaccrual loans, management is not aware of any other loans as of June 30, 2025 for which known credit problems of the borrower would cause serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with their present loan repayment terms, or any known events that would result in a loan being designated as nonperforming at some future date.
Nonaccrual loans were $26.0 million and $14.3 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, representing an increase of $11.7 million, or 82.6%. The increase was due to the previously mentioned commercial real estate office loan designated as nonaccrual during the first quarter of 2025. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 1.57% and 1.81% of equipment financing agreements were on nonaccrual status, respectively. At June 30, 2025, there were no loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest. At December 31, 2024, all loans 90 days or more past due were classified as nonaccrual.
The $26.0 million of nonperforming loans as of June 30, 2025 had individually evaluated allowances of $4.1 million, compared with $14.3 million of nonperforming loans with individually evaluated allowances of $6.2 million as of December 31, 2024.
Nonperforming assets were $26.0 million at June 30, 2025, or 0.33% of total assets, compared with $14.4 million, or 0.19%, at December 31, 2024. Additionally, not included in nonperforming assets were repossessed personal property assets associated with equipment finance agreements of $0.6 million and $0.6 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Individually Evaluated Loans
The Company reviews loans on an individual basis when the loan does not share similar risk characteristics with loan pools. Individually evaluated loans are measured for expected credit losses based on the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate, the observable market price, or the fair value of collateral.
Individually evaluated loans were $23.0 million and $14.3 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, representing a increase of $8.7 million, or 60.8%. Specific allowances associated with individually evaluated loans decreased $2.1 million to $4.1 million as of June 30, 2025 compared with $6.2 million as of December 31, 2024. due to increased charge-offs, offset by new specific allowances on individually evaluated loans.
A borrower is experiencing financial difficulties when there is a probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. The Company may modify loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties by providing principal forgiveness, a term extension, an other-than-insignificant payment delay, or an interest rate reduction.
The following table presents loan modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty by type of modification, with related amortized cost balances, respective percentage shares of the total class of loans, and the related financial effect, as of the periods indicated:

Allowance for Credit Losses and Allowance for Credit Losses Related to Off-Balance Sheet Items
As previously mentioned, effective January 1, 2025, the Company changed its methodology for estimating expected credit losses on its loan portfolio. The Company’s estimate of the allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 reflected losses expected over the remaining contractual life of assets based on historical, current, and forward-looking information. The contractual term does not consider extensions, renewals or modifications.
Our allowance for credit losses methodology incorporates a variety of risk considerations, both quantitative and qualitative, that management believes is appropriate to absorb lifetime credit losses at each reporting date. Quantitative factors include the general economic forecast in our markets, risk ratings, delinquency trends, collateral values, changes in nonperforming loans, and other factors.
We use qualitative factors to adjust the allowance calculation for risks not considered by the quantitative calculations. Qualitative factors considered in our methodologies include concentrations of credit, changes in lending management and staff, and quality of the loan review system.
The Company reviews baseline and alternative economic scenarios from Moody’s (previously known as Moody’s Analytics, a subsidiary of Moody’s Corporation) for consideration in the quantitative portion of our analysis of the allowance for credit losses. Moody’s publishes a baseline forecast that represents the estimate of the most likely path for the United States economy through the current business cycle (50% probability that economic conditions will be worse and 50% probability that economic conditions will be better) as well as alternative scenarios to examine how different types of shocks will affect the future performance of the United States economy.
The Company utilizes a midpoint approach of multiple forward-looking scenarios to incorporate losses from a baseline, upside (stronger near-term growth) and downside (slower near-term growth) economy. As a result, the upside and downside scenarios each receive a weight of 30%, and the baseline receives a weight of 40%.
Certain quantitative and qualitative factors used to estimate credit losses and establish an allowance for credit losses are subject to uncertainty. The adequacy of our allowance for credit losses is sensitive to changes in current and forecasted economic conditions that may affect the ability of borrowers to make contractual payments as well as the value of the collateral securing such payments.
Although management believes it uses the best information available to establish the allowance for credit losses, future adjustments to the allowance for credit losses may be necessary and the Company’s results of operations could be adversely affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the determinations.
In addition, because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted without uncertainty, the existing allowance for credit losses may not be adequate or increases may be necessary should the quality of any loans deteriorate as a result of the factors discussed. Any material increase in the allowance for credit losses would adversely impact the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

The allowance for credit losses was $66.8 million and $70.1 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The allowance attributed to individually evaluated loans was $4.1 million and $6.2 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The decrease in the allowance on individually evaluated loans during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was due to increased charge-offs, offset by new specific allowances on individually evaluated loans. The allowance attributed to collectively evaluated loans was $62.7 million and $64.0 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The decrease in the allowance attributed to collectively evaluated loans was primarily due to the change in ACL methodology.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the allowance for credit losses related to off-balance sheet items, primarily unfunded loan commitments, was $2.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The Bank closely monitors the borrower’s repayment capabilities, while funding existing commitments to ensure losses are minimized. Based on management’s evaluation and analysis of portfolio credit quality, prevailing economic conditions and economic forecasts, we believe these allowances were adequate for current expected lifetime losses in the loan portfolio and off-balance sheet exposure as of June 30, 2025.

Total deposits were $6.73 billion and $6.44 billion as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, representing an increase of $293.3 million, or 4.6%. The increase in deposits was primarily driven by a $159.3 million increase in money market and savings deposits and a $115.5 million increase in time deposits as a result of new commercial accounts and branch openings during the first six months of 2025. At June 30, 2025, the loan-to-deposit ratio was 93.7% compared with 97.1% at December 31, 2024.
As of June 30, 2025, the aggregate amount of uninsured deposit accounts (deposits in amounts greater than $250,000, which is the maximum amount for federal deposit insurance) was $2.94 billion. For time deposits, the aggregate amount exceeding the insurance limit was $745.8 million. For demand money market and savings accounts, the aggregate amount exceeding the insurance limit was $2.19 billion. At June 30, 2025, $1.31 billion of total uninsured deposits were in accounts with balances of $5.0 million or more. As of December 31, 2024, the aggregate amount of uninsured deposits was $2.72 billion. The aggregate amount of uninsured time deposits was $647.3 million. For demand, money market and savings accounts, the aggregate amount of uninsured deposits was $2.07 billion. At December 31, 2024, $1.21 billion of total uninsured deposits were in accounts with balances of $5.0 million or more.
Borrowings and Subordinated Debentures
The Bank’s wholesale funds have historically consisted of FHLB advances, brokered deposits as well as State of California time deposits. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bank had $127.5 million and $262.5 million of FHLB advances, and $85.5 million and $60.7 million of brokered deposits, respectively. The Bank had $150.0 million and $120.0 million of State of California time deposits, as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Borrowings mostly take the form of FHLB advances. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, FHLB advances were $127.5 million and $262.5 million, respectively. FHLB open advances were $90.0 million and $225.0 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. For the same periods, term advances were $37.5 million and $37.5 million, respectively. Funds from deposit growth not used to fund loan production were used to pay off borrowings.
The weighted-average interest rate of all FHLB advances at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was 4.62% and 4.75%, respectively.
The FHLB maximum amount outstanding at any month end during each of the year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $152.5 million and $350.0 million, respectively.

Stockholders' Equity
Stockholders’ equity was $762.8 million and $732.2 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Net income, net of $16.4 million of dividends paid, added $16.4 million to stockholders' equity for the period, as did $0.9 million of share-based compensation, a $15.9 million decrease in unrealized after-tax losses on securities available for sale and a $0.3 million decrease in unrealized after-tax losses on cash flow hedges due to changes in interest rates. In addition, the Company repurchased 120,000 shares of common stock during the period at an average share price of $22.94 for a total cost of $2.8 million. At June 30, 2025, 1,110,500 shares remain under the Company's share repurchase program.
Interest Rate Risk Management
The spread between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities is the principal component of net interest income, and interest rate changes substantially affect our financial performance. We emphasize capital protection through stable earnings. In order to achieve stable earnings, we prudently manage our assets and liabilities and closely monitor the percentage changes in net interest income and equity value in relation to limits established within our guidelines.
The Company performs simulation modeling to estimate the potential effects of interest rate changes. The following table summarizes one of the stress simulations performed to forecast the impact of changing interest rates on net interest income and the value of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities reflected on our balance sheet (i.e., an instantaneous parallel shift in the yield curve of the magnitude indicated below) as of June 30, 2025. The Company compares this stress simulation to policy limits, which specify the maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure over a 1- to 12-month and a 13- to 24- month horizon, given the basis point adjustment in interest rates reflected below.

The estimated sensitivity does not necessarily represent our forecast, and the results may not be indicative of actual changes to our net interest income. These estimates are based upon a number of assumptions, including the timing and magnitude of interest rate changes, prepayments on loans receivable and securities, pricing strategies on loans receivable and deposits, and replacement of asset and liability cash flows.
63
The key assumptions, based upon loans receivable, securities and deposits, are as follows:
Conditional prepayment rates*:
Loans receivable
10
%
Securities
6
%
Deposit rate betas*:
NOW, savings, money market demand
48
%
Time deposits, retail and wholesale
76
%
* Balance-weighted average
While the assumptions used are based on current economic and local market conditions, there is no assurance as to the predictive nature of these conditions, including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Capital Resources
Historically, our primary source of capital has been the retention of operating earnings. In order to ensure adequate capital levels, the Board regularly assesses projected sources and uses of capital, expected loan growth, anticipated capital management tools (such as stock repurchases and dividends), and projected capital thresholds under adverse and severely adverse economic conditions. In addition, the Board considers the Company’s access to capital from financial markets through the issuance of additional debt and securities, including common stock or notes, to meet its capital needs.
The Company’s ability to pay dividends to stockholders depends in part upon dividends it receives from the Bank. California law restricts the amount available for cash dividends to the lesser of a bank’s retained earnings or net income for its last three fiscal years (less any distributions to stockholders made during such period). Where the above test is not met, cash dividends may still be paid, with the prior approval of the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (“DFPI”), in an amount not exceeding the greater of: (1) retained earnings of the Bank; (2) net income of the Bank for its last fiscal year; or (3) the net income of the Bank for its current fiscal year. The Company paid dividends of $16.4 million ($0.54 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and $30.4 million ($1.00 per share) for the year 2024. As of July 1, 2025, the Bank has the ability to pay dividends of approximately $83.1 million, after giving effect to the $0.27 dividend declared on July 24, 2025, for the third quarter of 2025, without the prior approval of the Commissioner of the DFPI.
At June 30, 2025, the Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio of 14.39%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 13.32%, common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 13.32% and Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 11.43% placed the Bank in the “well capitalized” category pursuant to capital rules, which is defined as institutions with total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 10.00%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 8.00%, common equity Tier 1 capital ratios equal to or greater than 6.50%, and Tier 1 leverage capital ratio equal to or greater than 5.00%.
At June 30, 2025, the Company's total risk-based capital ratio was 15.20%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 12.46%, common equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 12.12% and Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 10.63%.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management is responsible for the disclosure controls and procedures of the Corporation. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required by the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f)) during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

Tariffs imposed on South Korea could have an impact on our business. On July 31, 2025, President Trump announced that an agreement has been reached with South Korea whereby a 15% tariff will be imposed on goods imported by South Korea into the U.S. and South Korea will make investments in certain U.S. industries. The final details of this trade agreement, including the timing of its implementation, remain unclear and may be subject to further negotiation. Any tariffs or required investments in U.S. industries imposed on South Korea may have an impact on South Korean businesses and the South Korean economy, which may negatively impact our customers with ties to South Korea, including U.S. subsidiaries of South Korean companies. While the impact of any final trade agreement with South Korea is uncertain, it may have an impact on the demand and performance of loans related to our customers with South Korean ties which, in turn, could have an effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
