News Release

HOPE BANCORP REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2026

For the first quarter of 2026, net income of $29.5 million, up 40% year-over-year

LOS ANGELES – April 28, 2026 – Hope Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company” or “Hope”) (NASDAQ: HOPE), the holding company of Bank of Hope (the “Bank”), today reported unaudited financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded net income of $29.5 million, or $0.23 per diluted common share, up 40% from net income of $21.1 million, or $0.17 per diluted common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and down 14% from net income of $34.5 million, or $0.27 per diluted common share, for the three months ended December 31, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded pre-provision net revenue(1) (“PPNR”) of $46.6 million, up 43% from PPNR of $32.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and up 1% from PPNR of $46.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025.

“In the 2026 first quarter, we delivered year-over-year growth in net income, revenue, loans and deposits, driven by organic growth and the strategic benefits of the Territorial Bancorp acquisition. Quarter-over-quarter, we saw pre-provision net revenue growth and improved efficiency, supported by disciplined expense management, a stable net interest margin and continued progress in lowering our cost of deposits. We also returned capital through repurchases of common shares during the quarter,” said Kevin S. Kim, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

“On March 31, 2026, we announced the accretive acquisition of the Commercial Banking Unit of SMBC MANUBANK (“MANUBANK”), which aligns directly with our key priorities of building our commercial banking capabilities, expanding our reach among middle market and multinational clients, and growing our core deposit franchise,” continued Kim. “We expect to close the transaction in the second half of this year, subject to regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. The pending acquisition is projected to strengthen our core earnings power and efficiently deploy capital, improving our profitability and optimizing our capital ratios without the issuance of new shares. In addition, our future collaboration and partnership with SMBC is expected to create meaningful opportunities to expand our services to a broader, global, multi-cultural customer base. We look forward to providing our new clients with the same excellent level of service they have come to expect from SMBC MANUBANK.”

“This is an exciting time for Hope, as we continue to execute on our strategic priorities and build on the momentum generated over the past several quarters to deliver long-term value for our stockholders, further supported by the pending acquisition of MANUBANK. We thank our dedicated team members for their ongoing commitment and contributions in support of our efforts,” concluded Kim.

(1)    Pre-provision net revenue (“PPNR”) is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as total revenue (net interest income plus noninterest income) less noninterest expense, before provision for credit losses and income taxes.

Operating Results for the First Quarter of 2026

Net interest income and net interest margin. Net interest income totaled $124.1 million for the first quarter of 2026, down $3.3 million, or 3%, compared with $127.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, and up $23.2 million, or 23%, from the first quarter of 2025. The quarter-over-quarter change in net interest income reflected the impact of a lower day count in the first quarter and a modest decrease of 0.4% in average earning assets, in which average loans were up but other earning assets declined. Net interest margin for the first quarter of 2026 was 2.90%, unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2025, and up 36 basis points from 2.54% for the year-ago quarter. Year-over-year average earning asset growth reflected the acquisition of Territorial Bancorp, Inc. (“Territorial”), which closed in the second quarter of 2025. Year-over-year net interest margin expansion was primarily driven by funding cost improvements, as the cost of interest bearing deposits decreased 77 basis points to 3.37% for the first quarter of 2026, down from 4.14% for the first quarter of 2025, exceeding the decline in federal funds target rate over the same period.

Noninterest income. For the first quarter of 2026, noninterest income totaled $17.0 million, down $1.4 million, or 8%, compared with $18.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, and up $1.3 million, or 8%, compared with $15.7 million for the first quarter of 2025. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily due to less gains on the sale of investment securities and lower customer-level swap fee income. The linked quart
