Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Hope Bancorp, Inc. reported stronger profitability for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Net income was $33.0 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, up 12% from the prior quarter and reversing a loss in the year-ago period. Net income excluding notable items was $34.5 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, up 16% sequentially and 40% year over year.

Net interest income rose to $129.0 million with net interest margin expanding to 2.96%, helped by loan growth, higher loan yields and lower funding costs. Gross loans reached $15.03 billion and deposits $15.88 billion, with a 94.7% loan-to-deposit ratio. Asset quality remained solid: nonperforming assets were 0.59% of total assets and criticized loans fell meaningfully versus a year earlier. Capital ratios stayed well above well-capitalized levels, including a 13.95% total capital ratio and 9.58% tangible common equity ratio. The board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per share and the company continued preparations for its pending acquisition of the Commercial Banking Unit of SMBC MANUBANK.

Positive

  • Net income of $33.0 million and diluted EPS of $0.26 marked a strong turnaround from a $24.8 million loss and $(0.19) EPS in Q2 2025, with net income excluding notable items up 40% year over year.
  • Net interest income increased to $129.0 million and net interest margin expanded to 2.96%, driven by loan growth, higher earning-asset yields and a 46 basis point year-over-year decline in the cost of interest-bearing deposits.
  • Asset quality improved year over year, with criticized loans down 19% to $334.3 million (2.24% of total loans) and nonperforming assets reduced to $112.9 million, or 0.59% of total assets.
  • Capital remained strong with a 13.95% total capital ratio and 9.58% tangible common equity ratio, while returning $44.6 million to shareholders year to date via dividends and buybacks, including a quarterly dividend of $0.14 per share.

Negative

  • None.

Filing Explained

The dividend has a defined record and payment date; the MANUBANK acquisition remains conditional, while first-half buybacks totaled 772,726 shares.

As a Form 8-K, this filing reports specified material events; it furnishes second-quarter results and an earnings presentation, files the dividend release, and says the MANUBANK acquisition is expected to close in the second half of 2026 subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

The $0.14 quarterly cash dividend is declared, with payment scheduled for or about August 20, 2026 to holders of record at the close of business on August 6, 2026.

During the first half of 2026, the company repurchased 772,726 common shares at an average price of $11.25 per share; $26.6 million remained under the existing $50.0 million authorization at June 30.

The presentation retains 2026 outlook ranges of approximately 20% gross-loan growth, 15% to 20% total-revenue growth, and 25% to 30% pre-provision net-revenue growth, but states that the outlook depends on the pending acquisition and other conditions.

net interest margin financial
"Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2026 was 2.96%"
Net interest margin measures how much a bank earns from lending and investing compared with what it pays for funding, expressed as a percentage of its interest-earning assets. Think of it like a grocery store’s markup: it shows the gap between buying cost and selling price per dollar of goods — here, the cost is interest paid and the sale is interest received. Investors watch it because a higher margin usually means a bank is more profitable and better at managing interest rate and credit conditions.
criticized loans financial
"Criticized loans were $334.3 million at June 30, 2026"
Criticized loans are bank loans that examiners or the bank itself have flagged as showing signs of weakness—such as higher risk of late payments, reduced collateral value, or borrower stress—but that are not yet officially defaulted. They matter to investors because a growing pile of such loans can signal deteriorating credit quality and higher future losses for a lender, much like small warning lights on a car dashboard that suggest a problem that, if ignored, could lead to a breakdown.
tangible common equity financial
"Tangible Common Equity (“TCE”) Ratio (4) was 9.58%"
Tangible common equity is the portion of a company’s net worth that belongs to ordinary shareholders after removing intangible items (like goodwill or patents) and any preferred claims; it’s often expressed on a per-share basis. Think of it as the hard, sellable value left for common owners if you removed non-physical assets and paid off debts—investors use it to judge how much real cushion a company has and whether the stock might be under- or over-valued.
pre-provision net revenue financial
"Pre-provision net revenue is defined as total revenue less noninterest expense"
Pre-provision net revenue is a bank’s income from core operations — interest earned minus interest paid plus fees and other operating income, after operating costs — measured before setting aside funds for potential loan losses. Investors use it to gauge how well a bank’s everyday business generates money independent of one-time loss reserves, like judging a store’s sales and operating profit before accounting for an expected number of returned items.
nonperforming assets financial
"Total nonperforming assets were $112,853 or 0.59% of total assets"
Nonperforming assets are loans or investments that are not generating expected payments or returns because the borrower has fallen behind on payments or the investment has lost value. They matter to investors because a high level of nonperforming assets can indicate financial trouble for a bank or institution, potentially affecting its stability and profitability.
allowance for credit losses financial
"The allowance for credit losses totaled $153.2 million at June 30, 2026"
Allowance for credit losses is a reserve set aside by a financial institution to cover potential losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution prepare for loans that might turn sour. For investors, it signals how cautious the institution is about the quality of its loans and potential risks to its financial health.

LOS ANGELES – July 27, 2026 – Hope Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: HOPE), the holding company of Bank of Hope (the “Bank”), today reported unaudited financial results for its second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026.
For the second quarter of 2026, the Company reported net income of $33.0 million, or $0.26 per diluted common share, up 12% from net income of $29.5 million, or $0.23 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2026, and up from a net loss of $24.8 million, or $(0.19) per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2025. Net income excluding notable items(1) for the second quarter of 2026 was $34.5 million, or $0.27 per diluted common share, up 16% from $29.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2026, and up 40% from net income of $24.6 million, or $0.19 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2025.

“Overall, we delivered strong quarterly results and are pleased with the continued progress made to improve the profitability and core operating performance of the Bank. Second quarter 2026 earnings growth reflected a combination of revenue growth and positive operating leverage, driven by loan growth, net interest margin expansion, lower funding costs, increased fee income and expense discipline,” said Kevin S.

“As we enter the second half of 2026, we are well-positioned to continue our momentum in executing on our key priorities. We are focused on building a more profitable and resilient franchise through disciplined balance sheet management, prudent expense control and the strengthening of client relationships to deliver long-term value for our stockholders,” continued Kim.

“Our pending acquisition of the Commercial Banking Unit of SMBC MANUBANK(2) is closely aligned with our priorities and represents an important opportunity to expand our middle market and multinational banking capabilities, develop specialty deposit verticals, and broaden our footprint in Southern California. The transaction is anticipated to improve our 2027 earnings and returns on tangible common equity, enhance our long-term earnings capacity, and support effective capital management,” concluded Kim.

Operating Results for the Second Quarter of 2026
Net interest income and net interest margin. Net interest income totaled $129.0 million for the second quarter of 2026, up $4.9 million, or 4%, compared with $124.1 million for the first quarter of 2026, and up $11.5 million, or 10%, from the second quarter of 2025. Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2026 was 2.96%, up six basis points from 2.90% for the first quarter of 2026, and up 27 basis points from 2.69% for the year-ago quarter. The sequential quarter net interest income growth and net interest margin expansion were primarily driven by average earning asset growth, earning asset yield expansion and a lower cost of funds. The second quarter 2026 yield on average loans was 5.73%, up four basis points sequentially, and the cost of interest bearing deposits was 3.31%, down six basis points sequentially. Year-over-year, the cost of interest bearing deposits was down 46 basis points, reflecting Fed Funds target rate cuts over the period as well as the positive impact of the Territorial Bancorp acquisition, which closed on April 2, 2025, and contributed lower cost deposits to the Bank’s funding mix.

Noninterest income. For the second quarter of 2026, noninterest income totaled $18.9 million, up $1.9 million, or 11%, compared with $17.0 million for the first quarter of 2026, and up $3.0 million, or 19%, compared with noninterest income excluding notable items(3) of $15.9 million for the second quarter of 2025. Second quarter 2025 reported noninterest income was $(23.0) million and included a $38.9 million loss on an investment portfolio repositioning. The sequential quarter growth in second quarter 2026 noninterest income reflected increased net gains on sales of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans, growth in customer-driven income and fees, and an increase in net gains on sales of available-for-sale securities. The Company sold $67.9 million of SBA loans in the second quarter of 2026 for a net gain of $4.4 million, compared with $53.0 million of SBA loans sold for a net gain of $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2026.

Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2026 was $98.5 million, up $4.0 million, or 4%, from $94.5 million for the first quarter of 2026, and down $11.0 million, or 10%, from $109.5 million for the second quarter of 2025. Noninterest expense excluding notable items(3) for the second quarter of 2026 was $96.4 million, up $2.1 million, or 2%, from $94.3 million for the first quarter of 2026, and up $4.2 million, or 5%, from $92.2 million for the second quarter of 2025. Growth in the second quarter 2026 noninterest expense was well controlled across all key areas of operating expenses.

In the second quarter of 2026, revenue growth outpaced expense growth, resulting in positive operating leverage and an improved efficiency ratio. The reported efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2026 was 66.6%, improving from 67.0% in the prior quarter and 115.8% in the year-ago quarter. The efficiency ratio excluding notable items(3) for the second quarter of 2026 was 65.2%, improving from 66.9% in the prior quarter and 69.1% in the year-ago quarter.

Income tax provision and tax rate. For the second quarter of 2026, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $9.6 million, compared with an income tax provision of $8.4 million for the first quarter of 2026 and an income tax benefit of $(1.3) million for the second quarter of 2025. The year-to-date effective tax rate for the first half of 2026 was 22.3%.
