EAST WEST BANCORP REPORTS EARNINGS FOR SECONDQUARTER OF 2025, WITH RECORD QUARTERLY REVENUE AND NET INTEREST INCOME

Pasadena, California – July 22, 2025 – East West Bancorp, Inc. (“East West” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EWBC), parent company of East West Bank, reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2025. Second quarter 2025 net income was $310 million or $2.24 per diluted share. Total loans and deposits both reached new records as of June 30, 2025, at $55.0 billion and $65.0 billion respectively. Return on average common equity was 15.4% and the total stockholders’ equity to assets ratio was 10.5% for the second quarter. Book value per share and tangible book value per share1 both grew $1.97 quarter-over-quarter.

“East West reported another strong quarter of balanced growth, with average loans and deposits growing by approximately $1.0 billion each,” said Dominic Ng, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our balance sheet growth drove a new record level of net interest income and we delivered another solid quarter of fee revenue, fueling a 16.7% adjusted return on average tangible common equity1,” continued Ng.

“Credit trends were resilient, with criticized loans and nonperforming assets both declining quarter-over-quarter. Our capital levels increased during the quarter, with East West’s tangible common equity ratio growing to 10%. This position of strength will allow us to support our customers with confidence and to capitalize on market opportunities. I am also proud to report that East West was again ranked as the best performing bank above $50 billion in assets by Bank Director, marking our third consecutive year and fourth title in the past five years,” Ng concluded.

Risk-Weighted Assets (“RWA”) (c)	$56,280	$55,366	$53,967
Risk-based capital ratios:
Total capital ratio	15.82%	15.63%	15.05%

Tangible common equity ratio (d)	9.95%	9.85%	9.37%

(a)The Company’s June 30, 2025 regulatory capital ratios and RWA are preliminary.

(b)The Company applied the 2020 Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) transition provision in the March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024 regulatory capital ratio calculations. The CECL transition provision permitted certain banking organizations to exclude from regulatory capital the initial adoption impact of CECL, plus 25% of the cumulative changes in the allowance for credit losses under CECL for each period until December 31, 2021, followed by a three-year phase-out period in which the aggregate benefit was reduced by 25% in 2022, 50% in 2023 and 75% in 2024. The CECL transition is no longer in effect as of March 31, 2025.

(c)Under regulatory guidelines, on-balance sheet assets and credit equivalent amounts of derivatives and off-balance sheet items are assigned to one of several broad risk categories based on the nature of the obligor, or, if relevant, the guarantor or the nature of any collateral. The aggregate dollar value in each risk category is then multiplied by the risk weight associated with that category. The resulting weighted values from each of the risk categories are aggregated for determining total RWA.

(d)Tangible common equity ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure. See reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures in Table 14.

•Foreign exchange income decreased $2 million in the second quarter, primarily reflecting an unfavorable change in mark-to-market adjustments on foreign exchange positions.

5 Fee income includes commercial and consumer deposit-related fees, lending and loan servicing fees, foreign exchange income, wealth management fees, and customer derivative income. Refer to Table 3 for additional fee and noninterest income information.

Table 12
On June 30, 2025, the California single sales factor apportionment method (“CA SSF”) was approved for financial institutions in the 2025 tax year, which resulted in $6 million of additional income tax expense recorded in the second quarter of 2025. The table below provides the computation of the Company’s effective tax rate and adjusted effective tax rate excluding the impact of the CA SSF. Management believes that presenting the adjusted effective tax rate computation allows comparability to prior periods.

Adjusted net income represents net income adjusted for the tax-effected FDIC special assessment and DC Solar adjustments and the impact of the CA SSF. Management believes that presenting the computations of the adjusted net income, adjusted return on average assets and adjusted return on average equity that exclude the aforementioned tax-effected adjustments and the impact of the CA SSF provide clarity to financial statement users regarding the ongoing performance of the Company and allow comparability to prior periods. •During the first and second quarters of 2024, the Company recorded $10 million, and $2 million, respectively, of pre-tax FDIC special assessment charges. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company recorded an $833 thousand FDIC special assessment charge that was subsequently reversed during the second quarter of 2025. Pre-tax FDIC special assessment reversals/charges are included in Deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. •During the second quarter of 2024, the Company recorded $3 million in pre-tax DC Solar recoveries (included in Amortization of Tax Credit and CRA Investments on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income) related to the Company’s investment in DC Solar. •During the second quarter of 2025, the Company recorded $6 million of additional income tax expense due to the impact of the CA SSF.

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance. Non-GAAP measures used consist of FTE net interest income and total revenue. The FTE adjustment relates to tax exempt interest on certain investment securities and loans. Efficiency ratio (FTE) represents noninterest expenses divided by total revenue (FTE). Pre-tax, pre-provision income represents total revenue (FTE) less noninterest expense.

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance. Tangible book value, tangible book value per share and TCE ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. Tangible book value and tangible assets represent stockholders’ equity and total assets, respectively, which have been reduced by goodwill and mortgage servicing assets. Given that the use of such measures and ratios is more prevalent in the banking industry, and are used by banking regulators and analysts, the Company has included them below for discussion.

Return on average TCE represents tangible net income divided by average tangible book value. Tangible net income excludes the after-tax impacts of the amortization of mortgage servicing assets. Adjusted return on average TCE represents adjusted tangible net income divided by average tangible book value. Adjusted tangible net income is tangible net income excluding the tax-effected FDIC special assessment and DC Solar adjustments and the impact of the CA SSF.
