Los Angeles-based BBCN Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: BBCN) and Chicago-based Foster Bankshares, Inc. today jointly announced the signing of a definitive agreement under which Foster Bankshares will merge with and into BBCN. The transaction positions BBCN as the leading Korean-American bank in Chicago and provides an entry to the Korean-American community in the greater Washington D.C. metropolitan area.

As of December 31, 2012, Foster Bankshares had total assets of $412.6 million, total loans of $326.9 million and total deposits of $357.4 million. Foster Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of Foster Bankshares, was founded in 1989 as one of the first Korean-American banks in the Chicago area. Foster Bank is a state-chartered bank, operating eight branches in the Chicago metropolitan area and one branch in Annandale, Virginia. The transaction is expected to close during the second half of 2013, subject to regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

“This partnership underscores BBCN’s strategic objective to be the dominant Korean-American bank in the markets in which we operate,” said Kevin S. Kim, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BBCN Bancorp. “The combination adds the rich heritage of one of Chicago’s first Korean-American banks to BBCN. As the logistical hub to commerce, finance and trade in the Midwest, the Chicago market represents a large and solid base from which we see longer term opportunities to grow our franchise. In addition, we are excited to be expanding our banking footprint into the D.C. metropolitan area, a region that represents one of the fastest growing populations of Korean-Americans in the country.”

“We are very pleased to be joining the BBCN family,” said Paul Byungtag Kim, President and Chief Executive Officer of Foster Bankshares. “We believe this is an excellent opportunity for our shareholders, customers and employees to realize enhanced value by being a part of an organization with considerably deeper resources, operational scale and a steady stream of core earnings. We look forward to continuing our legacy of excellent customer service and fostering the healthy growth of our communities.”

Under the terms of the merger agreement, the transaction is valued at approximately $4.6 million, valuing each outstanding share of Foster common stock at $34.67. Foster shareholders will have a choice between electing to receive the cash value per share or, for shareholders who qualify as accredited investors, 2.62771x shares of BBCN common stock for each share of Foster Bankshares or a combination thereof, with no limitations on the consideration mix. The consideration for the transaction is subject to reduction in certain events. Foster has no outstanding options or warrants.

On a pro forma combined basis including BBCN’s recent acquisition of Pacific International Bancorp and the proposed acquisition Foster Bankshares, BBCN would have total assets of $6.2 billion, total loans outstanding of $4.8 billion and total deposits of $4.9 billion as of December 31, 2012. Upon completion of the transaction, BBCN will increase its presence in Chicago from two branches, including a new BBCN branch to be opened during the current second quarter, to 10 branches. In addition, the transaction will provide BBCN with a first entry point to the D.C. metropolitan market with a branch in Annandale and a self-service ATM in Centreville, Virginia.

U.S. Banks Had Second-Best Earnings Ever in 2012, FDIC Says

By Jesse Hamilton - Feb 26, 2013 9:22 AM PT

U.S. banks had $141.3 billion in net income last year, the second-best on record behind the $145.2 billion total reported for 2006, on non-interest income and lower loss provisions, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said.

Fourth-quarter net income was $34.7 billion, a 37 percent increase from the year-earlier period, the FDIC said today in its Quarterly Banking Profile. The total for the three-month period that ended Dec. 31 was a decline from $37.6 billion in the third quarter, the FDIC said.

Industry profits were widespread with 60 percent of banks reporting increases from the prior year even as interest-income margins tightened, according to the agency’s report. Lenders set aside $15.1 billion for bad loans -- a 24.6 percent reduction from the year earlier -- and the $18.6 billion in charge-offs marked the 10th consecutive quarter of declines.

“When you look back to where we were just a few years ago, the progress made to date is meaningful,” FDIC Chairman Martin Gruenberg said today in a briefing on the report. “But troubled loans, problem banks and bank failures remain at elevated levels, while growth in lending and revenue remains sluggish.”

Banks bolstered profits by using reductions in money set aside for bad loans as the Federal Reserve’s low interest rate policy squeezed margins. Fourth-quarter loan-loss provisions were the smallest since 2006, according to the report.

‘Increased Credit’

“Going forward, we think the industry earnings are really going to depend on increased credit,” Gruenberg said.

Total loan balances rose $118.2 billion, or 1.6 percent, in the quarter, led by 3.7 percent growth in commercial loans, according to the FDIC.

“There’s not a lot of great opportunities out there at these rates,” American Bankers Association Chief Economist James Chessen said today in reference to the interest rate environment. Business-lending demand is showing recovery and “you’ll start to see more consumer lending,” he said.

Deposit growth increased by a record $313.1 billion in the fourth quarter even as the FDIC wound down unlimited backing for so-called transaction accounts, according to the report. Deposits in such accounts, used for payrolls and other business and government expenses, rose by 3.3 percent, the FDIC said.

“It appears that the transition from temporary full insurance to the basic $250,000 coverage proceeded in an orderly manner,” Gruenberg said.

‘Problem’ Banks

The FDIC’s confidential list of “problem” banks -- those among the more than 7,000 insured institutions deemed to be at greater risk of collapse -- fell to 651 from 694 in the fourth quarter, the smallest since before the 2008 credit crisis. In 2012, 51 banks failed, compared with 92 in 2011.

The agency’s deposit insurance fund, which protects customer accounts of as much as $250,000 against bank failures, rose to $33 billion from $25.2 billion in the third quarter, the FDIC said. Bank assessments were increased to replenish the fund, which fell into deficit as the agency resolved hundreds of bank failures stemming from the subprime mortgage crisis.

Investors have pushed the 24-company KBW Bank Index (BKX) up by more than 3 percent this year.

With leadership in international trade finance, unparalleled lending capacity amongst our peers and strong financial condition, BBCN is well positioned to capitalize on what we believe will be increasing business opportunities in the Pacific Northwest in the years to come.”

With the merger now completed, BBCN has $5.8 billion in total assets, $4.5 billion in deposits and 44 branches in Southern California, Northern California, New York, New Jersey, Washington and Illinois.

Pursuant to the merger agreement, Pacific International stockholders are entitled to receive 0.14121 shares of BBCN common stock for each share of Pacific International common stock that they owned as of the close of business February 15, 2013. Stockholders of Pacific International who are in possession of Pacific International Bancorp common stock certificates will receive instructions, by mail, on how to exchange those shares for BBCN common stock. Stockholders of Pacific International who hold their shares in brokerage accounts will not need to take any action to receive BBCN common stock through their accounts, based upon the above-mentioned exchange ratio, for their Pacific International common stock.

As previously announced, BBCN will retire Pacific International’s $6.5 million in Series A Preferred Stock issued under the U.S. Treasury’s TARP Capital Purchase Program, effective as of the merger closing.

BBCN was advised by the law firm of Mayer Brown LLP and was provided with a fairness opinion by Raymond James. Pacific International was advised by the investment banking firm of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. and the law firm of Graham & Dunn PC.

*If HAFC, WIBC & BBCN do some kind of merger-of-equals type deal... this would create a very strong and profittable boutique bank going forward. I like the odds of it happening...by summer/fall of 2013.

Hanmi Said to Seek Sale

Jan 9, 2013 1:22 PM PT

Hanmi Financial Corp. (HAFC), the second- largest U.S. catering to Korean-Americans, is looking for a buyer and hired DelMorgan & Co. to advise on a sale, said three people with knowledge of the matter.

The lender may attract interest from BBCN Bancorp Inc. (BBCN) and Wilshire Bancorp Inc. (WIBC), which like Hanmi are based in Los Angeles and target Korean-Americans, said two of the people, who asked not to be named because the process is private. Hanmi rose more than 8 percent today, giving the firm a market value of about $481 million. It has assets of about $2.8 billion.

Hanmi, led by Chief Executive Officer Jay Yoo, is pursuing a sale less than two years after its takeover by South Korean lender Woori Finance Holdings Co. collapsed. Hanmi may draw interest again from Woori, as well as South Korea’s Hana Bank, both seeking expansion in the U.S., the people said. The lender was founded more than 30 years ago and operates in areas such as San Diego, San Francisco and Orange County.

Hanmi shares rose 8.1 percent to $15.26 as of 4 p.m. in New York.

Woori Finance agreed in May 2010 to buy Hanmi for as much as $240 million. That deal was terminated in June 2011, when the firms agreed to a business alliance instead. Officials at Woori and Hana declined to comment, while representatives at Wilshire and BBCN didn’t return calls seeking comment.

David Yang, Hanmi’s corporate strategy officer, didn’t return a call seeking comment. Rob Delgado, co-founder of DelMorgan, declined to comment. Delgado helped found the Santa Monica, California-based investment-banking boutique in 2011.

Enforcement Actions

Hanmi has 27 branches in California. Its shares had gained 76 percent in the year through yesterday as the company recovered from steep commercial loan losses in 2009 and 2010.

BBCN is the largest Korean-American-focused bank, with $5.3 billion in assets as of Sept. 30, according to SNL Financial, a bank-research firm in Charlottesville, Virginia. Wilshire is the third-largest with $2.6 billion in assets.

The California Department of Financial Institutions and Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco lifted late in 2012 two enforcement actions placed on Hanmi in 2009. The actions had required Hanmi to maintain certain capital levels and restricted the bank from paying dividends, increasing debt and changing its businesses plan without regulatory permission.

Hanmi also last year began to draw down a nearly $80 million deferred tax allowance, or pool of money that represents a tax benefit a company can’t recognize unless it is healthy.

The drawdown sharply enhanced the company’s book value, which was $364 million as of Sept. 30, up almost 80 percent from a year earlier, according to the company’s third-quarter earnings report.

BBCN Bancorp Reports Fourth Quarter 2012 Net Income of $21.5 Million, or $0.28 Per Share; Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of...

BBCN Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BBCN), the holding company of BBCN Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income available to common stockholders of $21.5 million, or $0.28 per diluted common share, for fourth quarter 2012. This compares with net income available to common stockholders of $2.9 million, or $0.05 per diluted common share, for fourth quarter 2011, and net income available to common stockholders of $18.4 million, or $0.24 per diluted common share, for third quarter 2012.

For the full 2012 year, the Company posted net income available to common stockholders of $77.6 million, or $0.99 per diluted common share. This compares with net income available to common stockholders of $22.5 million, or $0.53 per diluted common share, for 2011, which reflects the operations of 11 months of the former Nara Bancorp, Inc. and one month of combined operations following the merger with Center Financial Corporation (“Center”), completed November 30, 2011.

The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend for first quarter 2013. All stockholders of record as of February 8, 2013 will be paid a cash dividend of $0.05 per common share, payable on or about February 22, 2013.

“We completed our first full year of operations as the leading Korean American bank in the nation with strong performances on all fronts,” said Alvin D. Kang, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Fourth quarter 2012 new loan originations of $371.2 million exceeded the strong levels of the preceding quarter. This performance helped to mitigate the net interest margin compression in the current interest rate environment and supported a five percent linked quarter increase in our pre-tax pre-provision earnings, which amounted to 2.83% of average assets on an annualized basis. Combined with steadily improving asset quality trends, we reported another quarter of strong core profitability to complete the year. All-in-all, we believe BBCN is well positioned for continued profitability and growth.”

The Company noted that the Center merger impacts the comparability of operating results for fourth quarter 2012 versus fourth quarter 2011 and the preceding third quarter 2012, as well as the operating results for the full 2012 year versus 2011. Supplemental information, which the Company believes will aid in understanding past financial performance, is included in this press release.

$12.18 up 0.61 (+5.27%)
Volume: 558,754

Sooo many banks an so little time. It's been a while since I updated the progress on BBCN.

They've been quietly making all the right moves in 2012 and Mr. Kang (President and CEO) says "he's just getting started".

Highlights for 2012 outlined in the Dec 26th copy of the American Banker include:

- BBCN kicked off 2012 with the hefty task of merging the $3 billion-asset Nara Bancorp and the $2.3 billion-asset Center Financial into a new brand.

- They bought a small bank in Seattle (Pacific National Bancorp) for $8.2 million which only added $200 million in assets..but it expanded market share in the Pacific Northwest which was one of their main target areas.

- In June, BBCN redeemed $122 million in TARP funds from its two predecessor companies while still leaving plenty of capital to grow and meet reg cap ratios.

- BBCNs' loans have nearly surpassed deposits - though both catagories have grown. BBCN is one of the few banks with a loan-to-deposit ratio over 100%.

- Part of the loan growth came from the merger, but BBCN has also expanded it Small Business Administration unit into one of the largest SBA lenders in the country. The company also held on to more of its SBA loans in the 3rd qtr than in the past.

- Interest income from loans rose 87% to $18.4 million compared to a year earlier. Net interst margin (NIM) has grown 5.1%, surpassing the national average of 3.4%, according to the FDIC quarterly bank performance report.

Nara Bancorp and Center Financial Complete Merger of Equals Creating the Largest Korean American Bank in the Country

Nara Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: NARA) and Center Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: CLFC) today announced the completion of their merger of equals that creates the largest Korean American bank in the country.

As previously announced, the combined company will operate under the new name of BBCN. The name of the holding company will be BBCN Bancorp, Inc. and the name of the bank will be BBCN Bank. It is expected that BBCN will start trading under the new stock ticker symbol, “BBCN“, effective as of market open on Thursday, December 1, 2011.

BBCN is the largest and best capitalized bank serving Korean American communities across the country. BBCN has more than $5 billion in assets, more than $4 billion in deposits, and more than 40 branches in Southern California, Northern California, New York, New Jersey, Seattle and Chicago. BBCN will have a market capitalization exceeding $700 million, based on recent trading prices.

http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&article=50247090

Quarterly Report (10-Q) ending Sept. 30th, 2011

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Shareholders’ equity as of September 30, 2011 was $294.7 million, compared to $274.0 million as of December 31, 2010. The increase was due primarily to net earnings of $19.2 million in the first nine months of 2011. The primary sources of capital have historically been retained earnings and relatively nominal proceeds from the exercise of employee incentive and/or nonqualified stock options. There were 7,192 option shares exercised during the first nine months of 2011. Shareholders’ equity is also affected by changes in unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities.

As part of the TARP Capital Purchase Program, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with the Treasury Department on December 12, 2008, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold 55,000 shares of fixed-rate cumulative perpetual preferred stock for a purchase price of $55.0 million and 10-year warrants to purchase 864,780 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of * $9.54 per share. The number of shares underlying the Warrant was reduced to 432,390 effective December 31, 2009 as a result of capital raises during 2009. The Company will pay the Treasury Department a five percent dividend annually for each of the first five years of the investment and a nine percent dividend thereafter until the shares are redeemed.

* Note: PPS 3 years after the Treasury bought common shares via TARP for $9.54 is $6.95 on 11/12/2011.
