Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 — Summary of Signi ficant Accounting Policies
Summary of Operations
Hanmi Financial Corporation (“Hanmi Financial,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is the holding company of Hanmi Bank (the “Bank”).
The Bank is a California state-chartered financial institution, the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC, up to applicable limits. The Bank is a state nonmember bank and, therefore, the FDIC is its primary federal bank regulator. The California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation is the Bank's primary state bank regulator.
The Bank’s primary operations are related to traditional banking activities, including the acceptance of deposits and originating loans and investing in securities. The Bank is a community bank conducting general business banking, with its primary market encompassing the Korean-American and other ethnic communities. The Bank’s full-service offices are located in markets where many of the businesses are owned by immigrants and other minority groups. The Bank’s client base reflects the multi-ethnic composition of these communities. As of December 31, 2025, the Bank maintained a network of 32 full-service branch offices andfive loan production offices in California, Texas, Illinois, Virginia, New Jersey, New York, Colorado, Georgia and Washington.
Basis of Presentation
The accounting and reporting policies of Hanmi Financial and subsidiaries conform, in all material respects, to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and general practices within the banking industry. The information set forth in the following notes is presented on a continuing operations basis. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.
Principles of Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Hanmi Financial and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Bank, and Hanmi Financial Corporation Statutory Trust I. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior years' financial statements and related disclosures were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation with no effect on previously reported net income, stockholders’ equity or cash flows.
Segment Reporting
Through our branch network and lending units, we provide a broad range of financial products and services to individuals and companies. These products include demand, time and savings deposits; and commercial and industrial, real estate and consumer lending. While our chief decision makers monitor the revenue streams of our various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a company-wide basis. Accordingly, we consider all of our operations to be aggregated inone reportable operating segment. See Note 24 -Segment Reporting, for more information.
Cash and Due from Banks
Cash and due from banks include cash, deposits with other financial institutions, and federal funds sold. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions, interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions, and federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements.
Securities
Allof the securities held by the Company are available for sale debt securities. For available for sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be requiredto sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. The Company didnot 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.
For available for sale debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss is recorded and an allowance for credit losses is established, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income.
Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as a provision for or recovery of credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the risk of default of an available for sale security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. There wereno allowances for credit loss on available for sale debt securities at December 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
Accrued interest receivable on available for sale debt securities totaled$3.7 million and$3.6 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and was excluded from the estimate of credit losses.
Loans, net of Allowance for Credit Losses
Originated loans: Loans (other than SBA loans) are primarily originated by the Company with the intent to hold them for investment and are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of deferred fees and costs. Net deferred fees and costs include nonrefundable loan fees, direct loan origination costs and initial direct costs. Net deferred fees and costs are recognized as an adjustment to interest income over the contractual life of the loans using the effective interest method or taken into income when the related loans are paid off or sold. The amortization of loan fees and costs is discontinued when a loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis in accordance with the terms of the respective loan and includes prepayment penalties. Equipment financing agreements are similar to commercial business loans in that the financing agreements are typically made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flows of the borrower’s business.
Nonaccrual loans and nonperforming assets: 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 90 or more days past due, unless management believes the loan is adequately collateralized and is in the process of collection. However, in certain instances, we may place a loan on nonaccrual status earlier, depending upon the individual circumstances surrounding the loan’s status. When an asset is placed on nonaccrual, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against current interest 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 payments of six months.
Nonperforming assets consist of loans on nonaccrual status, loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest, and other real estate owned ("OREO").
Loans held for sale
Loans originated to be sold or transferred into the Loans held for sale category, and intended for sale in the secondary market, are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair market value. Fair market value, if lower than cost, is determined based on valuations obtained from market participants or the value of underlying collateral, calculated individually. A valuation allowance is established if the market value of such loans is lower than their cost and net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income. Origination fees on loans held for sale, net of certain costs of processing and closing the loans, are deferred until the time of sale and are included in the computation of the gain or loss from the sale of the related loans.
Allowance for credit losses
The Company calculates its allowance for credit losses by estimating expected credit losses on a collective basis for loans that share similar risk characteristics. Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with other loans are evaluated for credit losses on an individual basis. The Company segments loans primarily by type, including the collateral type, loan purpose, contract term, amortization schedule, and payment structure, ensuring that loans with similar characteristics are grouped together for effective risk assessment. Depending upon the type of the pool of financial assets with similar risk characteristics, the Company uses one of three loss rate models: a Commercial Real Estate ("CRE") Loss Rate model, a Commercial and Industrial ("C&I") Loss Rate model, or an Expected Consumer Credit Loss ("ECCL") Loss Rate model to estimate expected credit losses.
The Company’s methodologies for estimating the allowance for credit losses consider available relevant information about the collectability of cash flows, including information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The methodologies apply historical loss information, adjusted for asset-specific characteristics, economic conditions at the measurement date, and forecasts about future economic conditions expected to exist through the contractual lives of the financial assets that were reasonable and supportable, to the identified pools of financial assets with similar risk characteristics. The Company applies a lifetime reasonable and supportable forecast period, leveraging Moody's long-term outlook for various loss factors. The Company's historical loss experience is benchmarked against Moody's Credit Research Database's lifetime loss rates, with adjustments made for the Company's unique loss characteristics. The quantitative results are further adjusted as appropriate to account for qualitative considerations. When estimating qualitative factors, the Company takes into account market, industry, or business-specific data, changes in the underlying portfolio composition, and trends relating to credit quality and delinquencies.
The Company estimated the allowance for credit losses on loans based on the underlying assets’ amortized cost basis. In the event that collection of principal becomes uncertain, the Company has policies in place to reverse accrued interest in a timely manner. Therefore, the Company has a policy to exclude accrued interest from the measurement of allowance for credit losses.
Expected credit losses are reflected in the allowance for credit losses through a charge to credit loss expense. When the Company deems all or a portion of a financial asset to be uncollectible, the appropriate amount is written off and the allowance for credit losses is reduced by the same amount. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance for credit losses when received.
Credit Losses on Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures
The Company has credit loss exposure for off-balance sheet lending commitments. The Company estimates expected credit losses for off-balance sheet exposures over the contractual period in which it is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. Adjustments to the allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is recognized as a provision for credit loss expense.
Individually Evaluated Loans
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. The allowance for collateral dependent loans is calculated as the difference between the outstanding loan balance and the value of the collateral as determined by recent appraisals, less estimated costs to sell. The allowance for collateral dependent loans varies based on the collateral coverage of the loan at the time of the designation as nonperforming. We continue to monitor the collateral coverage on these loans on a quarterly basis, based on recent appraisals, and adjust the allowance accordingly.
Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various classes of assets. The ranges of useful lives for the principal classes of assets are as follows:
| Buildings and improvements | 10 to 30 years |
|---|---|
| Furniture and equipment | 3 to 10 years |
| Leasehold improvements | Term of lease or useful life, whichever is shorter |
| Software | 3 to 7 years |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We review long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be nonperforming, the individual amount to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Other Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Personal Property
Other real estate owned includes real estate acquired through foreclosure and other real estate holdings that are not used in the operation of the Company’s business. Repossessed personal property consists of equipment repossessed on defaulted equipment financing agreements. Other real estate owned and repossessed personal property are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Subsequent declines in fair value are recorded through expense.
Servicing Assets
Servicing assets are initially recorded at fair value and amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing income.
Servicing assets are recorded based on the present value of the contractually specified servicing fee, net of adequate compensation cost, for the estimated life of the loan, using a discount rate and a constant prepayment rate. Management periodically evaluates the servicing assets for impairment. Impairment, if it occurs, is recognized in a valuation allowance in the period of impairment.
Goodwill
Goodwill arose from an acquisition of equipment financing agreements, and is assessed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company performed its annual impairment test and determinedno impairment of goodwill existed as of December 31, 2025.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
The Bank is a member of the FHLB of San Francisco and is required to own common stock in the FHLB based upon the Bank’s balance of outstanding FHLB advances. FHLB stock is carried at cost and may be sold back to the FHLB at its carrying value. FHLB stock is periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends received are reported as dividend income.
Bank-Owned Life Insurance
We have purchased single premium life insurance policies (“bank-owned life insurance”) on certain current and former officers. The Bank and named beneficiaries of various covered officers are the beneficiaries under each policy. In the event of the death of a covered officer, the Bank and named beneficiaries of the covered officer will receive the specified insurance benefit from the insurance carrier. Bank-owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due, if any, that are probable at settlement. Under the Split Dollar Death Benefit Agreements, upon death of a covered officer, the designated beneficiary(ies) are eligible to receive benefits, which in the aggregate, totaled$4.1 million at December 31, 2025.
Revenue Recognition
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), established a principles-based approach to recognizing revenue that applies to all contracts other than those covered by other authoritative U.S. GAAP guidance. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are also required. The standard’s core principle is that a company shall recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies generally are required to use more judgment and make more estimates than under prior guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.
The Company's noninterest income primarily includes service charges on deposit accounts, trade finance and other service charges and fees, servicing income, bank-owned life insurance income and gains or losses on sale of SBA loans, mortgage loans, and securities. Based on our assessment of revenue streams related to the Company's noninterest income, we concluded that the Company's performance obligations for such revenue streams are typically satisfied as services are rendered. If applicable, the Company records contract liabilities, or deferred revenue, when payments from customers are received or due in advance of providing services to customers, and records contract assets when services are provided to customers before payment is received or before payment is due. The Company’s noninterest revenue streams are largely based on transactional activities and since the Company generally receives payments for its services during the period or at the time services are provided, there are no contract asset or receivable balances as of December 31, 2025 or 2024. Consideration is often received immediately or shortly after the Company satisfies its performance obligations and revenue is recognized.
Income Tax
We provide for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company has invested in limited partnerships formed to develop and operate affordable housing units for lower income tenants throughout California. The partnership interests are accounted for utilizing the proportional amortization method with amortization expense and tax benefits recognized through the income tax provision.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company may provide awards of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, shares granted as a bonus or in lieu of another award, dividend equivalents, other stock-based awards, or performance awards, together with any other right or interest to a participant. Plan participants may include executives and other employees, officers, directors, consultants and other persons who provide services to the Company or its related entities. All stock options granted under its stock-based benefit plans have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Stock options granted generally vest based onthree tofive years of continuous service and expire 10 years from the date of grant. Restricted stock awards become fully vested after a certain number of years or after certain performance criteria are met. Performance stock units vest upon achievement of certain criteria and may have dividend equivalent rights associated with them. Hanmi Financial becomes entitled to an income tax deduction in an amount equal to the taxable income reported by the holders of the restricted shares when the restrictions are released and the shares are issued. Restricted shares are forfeited if officers and employees terminate employment prior to the lapsing of restrictions or if certain market condition criteria are not met. Forfeitures of restricted stock are treated as canceled shares.
Excess tax benefits from the exercise or vesting of share-based awards are included as a reduction in the provision for income tax expense in the period in which the exercise or vesting occurs.
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. For diluted EPS, the weighted-average number of common shares also included the impact of unvested restricted stock 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.
Treasury Stock
On April 25, 2024, the Company's board of directors adopted a stock repurchase program, under which the Company may repurchase up to 5.0% of its then outstanding shares, or approximately 1.5 million shares of its common stock. The program permits shares to be repurchased in open market or private transactions, through block trades, and pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The repurchase program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason, including market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, the availability of alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, and other factors deemed appropriate. These factors may also affect the timing and amount of share repurchases. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 393,298 shares for a total cost of$9.4 million.
On January 29, 2026, the Board of Directors authorized an expansion of the share repurchase program, adding 1.5 million shares to the 837,202 shares remaining as of December 31, 2025, bringing total repurchase capacity to approximately 2.3 million shares.
We use the cost method of accounting for treasury stock. The cost method requires us to record the reacquisition cost of treasury stock as a deduction from stockholders’ equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate note. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect these estimates.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), provides the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how the entity accounts for derivative instruments and related hedged items, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Further, qualitative disclosures are required that explain the Company’s objectives and strategies for using derivatives, as well as quantitative disclosures about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative instruments.
As required by ASC 815, the Company records all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge a certain level of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.
In accordance with the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance in ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), the Company made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2025
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures: In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (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 Company adopted this ASU on a retrospective basis. Its adoption resulted in additional and more granular disclosures in Note 11– Income Taxes. It 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 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.
ASU 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software: In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 to simplify the accounting for internal-use software by replacing the existing project-stage-based model with a principles-based approach to determine capitalizable versus non-capitalizable costs. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The adoption ASU 2025-06 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s operating results or financial condition.
ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 316): Purchased Loans: In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08 to improve the accounting for acquired financial assets by expanding the gross-up approach to all purchased loans and eliminating the previous duplication inherent in Day 1 credit loss measurement. ASU 2025-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2025-08 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's operating results or financial condition.
ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements: In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09 to more closely align hedge accounting with the economics of an entity's risk management activities by enabling entities to achieve and maintain hedge accounting for highly effective economic hedges of forecasted transactions. ASU 2025-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2025-08 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 didnot 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 takes into account 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. In the event that a credit loss is expected to occur in the future, an allowance is established and a corresponding credit loss is recognized. Based on this analysis, the Company determined that no credit losses are expected to be realized on the tax-exempt municipal bond portfolio. The remainder of the securities 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.
Realized gains and losses on sales of securities and proceeds from sales of securities were as follows for the periods indicated:

Note 3 — Loans
The Board of Directors and management review and approve the Bank’s loan policies and procedures on a regular basis to reflect matters such as regulatory and organizational structure changes, strategic planning revisions, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and nonperforming loans, and classified and criticized loans.
Real estate loans are loans secured by liens or interest in real estate, to provide for the purchase, construction or refinance of real estate properties. Commercial and industrial loans consist of commercial term loans, commercial lines of credit and can include SBA loans. Alternatively, SBA loans can be real estate secured. Equipment financing agreements are typically secured by the business assets being financed. We maintain management loan review and monitoring departments that review and monitor pass graded loans as well as problem loans to prevent further deterioration.

Loan Quality Indicators
As part of the on-going monitoring of the quality of our loan 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.

Note 6 — Leases
The Company enters into leases in the normal course of business primarily for financial centers, back-office operations locations, business development offices, information technology data centers and information technology equipment. At December 31, 2025, the Company’s leases have remaining terms ranging from less thanone month up to 8.5 years, some of which include renewal or termination options to extend the lease for up toten 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. 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. 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.
In determining whether a contract contained a lease, we determined whether an arrangement was or included a lease at contract inception. Operating lease right-of-use asset and liability were recognized at commencement date and initially measured based on the present value of lease payments over the defined lease term. Theright-of-use asset and lease liability were$32.0 million and$36.0 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2025, and$35.6 million and$39.8 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024. The right-of-use asset is included in prepaid expenses and other assets and the lease liability is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Company's balance sheet.
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 commencement date to calculate the present value of lease payments.
We lease our premises under non-cancelable operating leases. At December 31, 2025, future minimum annual rental commitments under these non-cancelable operating leases, with initial or remaining terms of one year or more, were as follows:
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| (in thousands) | |
| 2026 | $7,747 |

| 2030 | 4,680 |
| Thereafter | 6,461 |
| Remaining lease commitments | 40,153 |
| Interest | (4,121) |
| Present value of lease liability | $36,032 |
Net lease expense recognized for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was$9.4 million,$10.2 million, and$10.0 million, respectively. This included operating lease costs of$9.6 million,$10.3 million, and$10.1 million, respectively, reduced by sublease income of $0.2 million, $0.1 million, and $0.1 million, respectively.
Weighted average remaining lease terms for the Company’s operating leases were 5.59 years and 6.35 years as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Weighted average discount rates used for the Company’s operating leases were 3.85% and 3.30% as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Cash paid, and included in cash flows from operating activities, for amounts included in the measurement of the lease liability for the Company's operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was$9.7 million,$9.9 million and$9.9 million, respectively.

Note 10 — Subordinated Debentures
On August 20, 2021, the Company issued Fixed-to-Floating Subordinated Notes (“2031 Notes”) of $110.0 million with a final maturity date of September 1, 2031. The 2031 Notes have an initial fixed interest rate of 3.75% per annum, payable semi-annually 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 December 31, 2025 and 2024, the balance of the 2031 Notes included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet, net of debt issuance cost, was$108.7 million and$108.5 million, respectively. The amortization of debt issuance cost was$0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
The Company issued Fixed-to-Floating Subordinated Notes (“2027 Notes”) of $100.0 million on March 21, 2017, with a final maturity on March 30, 2027. The Notes had an initial fixed interest rate of 5.45% per annum, payable semi-annually on March 30 and September 30 of each year. From and including March 30, 2022 and thereafter, the 2027 Notes bore interest at a floating rate equal to the then current three-month LIBOR, as calculated on each applicable date of determination, plus 3.32% payable quarterly. Debt issuance cost was $2.3 million, which was being amortized through the Note’s maturity date.
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 at thethree-month LIBOR plus 140 basis points thereafter and invested the proceeds in the Subordinated Debentures. The rate on the TPS at December 31, 2025 was 5.38%. Beginning September 15, 2023, the variable rate on the TPS changed to the three-month SOFR plus approximately 166 basis points, representing a credit spread of 140 basis points and an approximate 26 basis point adjustment to convert three-month LIBOR to three-month SOFR.
The Company may redeem the Subordinated Debentures at an earlier date if certain conditions are met. 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 December 31, 2025 and 2024, the balance of Subordinated Debentures included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, net of discount of$4.3 million and$4.7 million, was$22.5 million and$22.1 million, respectively.

As of each reporting date, management considered the realization of deferred tax assets based on management’s judgment of various future events and uncertainties, including the timing and amount of future income, as well as the implementation of various tax planning strategies to maximize realization of deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, management determined that a valuation allowance of$1.5 million was appropriate against certain state net operating losses. For all other deferred tax assets, management believes it was more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will be realized principally through future taxable income and reversal of existing taxable temporary differences.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of $2.2 million and $192.3 million for federal and state income tax purposes, respectively. The federal net operating loss carryforwards of $2.2 million expire in 2035. The state net operating loss carryforwards included California of $131.4 million which expire at various dates from 2034 through 2040, and Illinois of $60.9 million which expire at various dates from 2038 through 2039. Management determined that a partial valuation allowance was required against the Illinois net operating loss carryforwards.
On June 24, 2025, the Franchise Tax Board of the State of California amended Senate Bill 132 which, among other changes, enacted a single-sales-factor apportionment calculation for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. This reduced the Company's effective tax rate in California for the year ended December 31, 2025. As a result, the Company re-measured its deferred tax assets, including those related to the net unrealized loss on securities available for sale within accumulated other comprehensive loss. The reduction in the effective tax rate resulted in a lower tax benefit on those unrealized losses, which created an amount stranded within accumulated other comprehensive loss equal to the difference in tax rate upon remeasurement, multiplied by net unrealized losses. At December 31, 2025, the stranded amount from deferred tax remeasurement was $1.1 million.
A reconciliation between the federal statutory income tax rate and the effective tax rate is shown in the following table, as reported in accordance with ASU 2023-09, on a retrospective basis:

For the year ended December 31, 2025, there was a $0.8 million reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income, to net loss on cash flow hedge in interest income. There wasno sale of securities for the year ended December 31, 2025. There was a one-time deferred tax remeasurement effect that resulted in $1.1 million of unrecognized tax expense for unrealized losses on securities available for sale becoming stranded within accumulated other comprehensive loss during 2025. See Note 11 -Income Taxes for more information.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, there was a $1.5 million reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income, to net loss on cash flow hedge in interest income. There wasno sale of securities for the year ended December 31, 2024.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, there was a $1.9 million reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income, to net loss on sales of securities in noninterest income. Net unrealized losses of $1.7 million related to these sold securities had previously been recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.
Note 13 — Regulatory Matters
Risk-Based Capital
Federal bank regulatory agencies require bank holding companies and banks to maintain a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.00% and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.00%. 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 4.00%.
In order for banks to be considered “well capitalized,” federal bank regulatory agencies require them to maintain a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets of 10.00% and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.00%. 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 5.00%.
At December 31, 2025, the Bank’s capital ratios exceeded the minimum requirements to place the Bank in the “well capitalized” category and the Company exceeded all of its applicable minimum regulatory capital ratio requirements.
A capital conservation buffer of 2.50% must be met to avoid limitations on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends, repurchase shares or pay discretionary bonuses. The Bank’s capital conservation buffer was 6.25% and 6.43% and the Company's capital conservation buffer was 6.37% and 6.46% as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Note 14 — 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, nonperforming loans, OREO, bank-owned premises, 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 and mutual funds 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 mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, U.S. government agency securities and municipal bonds in markets that are active. In determining the fair value of the securities categorized as Level 2, we obtain reports from an investment accounting service provider detailing the fair value of each investment security held as of each reporting date. The investment accounting service provider obtains prices from 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. Therefore, 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.
Loans held for sale – All loans held for sale are SBA loans carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Management obtains quotes, bids or pricing indication sheets on all or part of these 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 December 31, 2025 and 2024, the entire balance of SBA loans held for sale was recorded at its cost. We record SBA loans held for sale on a nonrecurring basis with Level 2 inputs.
Nonperforming loans – Nonaccrual loans and performing restructured loans are considered nonperforming for reporting purposes and are measured and recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. All nonperforming loans with a carrying balance over $250,000 are individually evaluated for the amount of expected credit losses, 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 are recorded based on either the current appraised value of the collateral, a Level 3 measurement, or management’s judgment and estimation of value reported on older appraisals that are then adjusted based on recent market trends, also 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, which results 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 leasing contracts 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 its 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 adjustment represent decreases.

The equipment is usually too low 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 in order 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.
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Topic 825). This standard, 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 have concluded that the carrying amounts approximate fair value, the fair value estimates shown below are based on an exit price notion as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, as required by ASU 2016-01. The financial instruments for which we have 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:

| Accrued interest payable | 34,824 | 34,824 | — | — |
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 described above (Level 1 and 2).
Loans held for sale – Loans held for sale, representing the guaranteed portion of SBA loans, are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair market value, as determined based upon quotes, bids or sales contract prices (Level 2).
Loans, net of allowance for credit losses – The fair value of loans 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 which was adopted by the Company on
January 1, 2018, the fair value of the Company's loans is considered to be an exit price notion as of December 31, 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 15 — Share-Based Compensation
At December 31, 2025, we maintained the 2021 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2021 Plan”). At December 31, 2024 and 2023, we also maintained the 2013 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2013 Plan,” and collectively with the 2021 Plan, the “Plans”). Once the 2021 Plan was adopted, no further grants were permitted to be made under the 2013 Plan. At December 31, 2025, there wereno unvested or outstanding awards governed by, or further awards available for further grant under, the 2013 Plan.
The Company may provide awards of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, shares granted as a bonus or in lieu of another award, dividend equivalents, other stock-based awards or performance awards, together with any other right or interest to a participant. Participants include executives and other employees, officers, directors, consultants and other persons who provide services to the Company or its related entities. Under the 2021 Plan, we may grant equity incentive awards for up to 1,500,000 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2025,739,840 shares were still available for issuance under the 2021 Plan.

Stock Options
All stock options granted under the Plans have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Stock options granted generally vest based onthree tofive years of continuous service and expireten years from the date of grant. Authorized but unissued shares of common stock are issued or treasury shares are utilized upon the exercise of stock options. There wereno options granted during the three years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 or 2023.

Restricted Stock Awards
Restricted stock awards under the Plans become fully vested after a certain number of years of service. Hanmi Financial becomes entitled to an income tax deduction in an amount equal to the taxable income reported by the holders of the restricted shares when the restrictions are released and the shares are issued. Restricted shares are forfeited if officers and employees terminate prior to the lapsing of restrictions. Forfeitures of restricted stock are transferred back to the Company as treasury shares, and are available for future issuance under the Plans.

As of December 31, 2025, there was$2.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested shares granted under the Plans. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was$3.6 million,$2.5 million, and$1.4 million, respectively.
Performance Stock Units
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company granted to members of executive management 53,509 performance stock units (“PSUs”) from the 2021 Plan with a grant date fair value of$1.3 million. PSUs are similar to restricted stock awards, except the recipient does not receive the stock immediately, but instead receives it in accordance to a vesting plan and distribution schedule after achieving required performance milestones and upon remaining with the Company for a particular length of time. Each PSU that vests entitles the recipient to receive one share of the Company’s common stock on a specified issuance date.
PSUs granted during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, vest into shares based on athree-year cliff vesting subject to achievement of a total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance metric, relative to a peer group of approximately 50 regional banks. PSUs granted during the year ended December 31, 2025 vest into shares subject to the achievement of the TSR performance metric and a tangible book value ("TBV") performance metric on an equally weighted basis. PSUs granted during 2025 were determined to have a grant date fair value of$21.39 per share. The fair value of the performance PSUs at the grant date was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation method. The number of PSUs subject to the TSR that ultimately vest at the end of thethree-year vesting performance period, if any, will be based on the relative rank of the Company’s TSR among the TSRs of a peer group of approximately 50 regional banks. The PSUs granted during 2025 will ultimately vest based on the relative rank, among the regional bank peer group, of the Company for both the TSR and TBV performance metrics, with each performance metric weighted at 50%. Although the recipient does receive dividend equivalent rights for any dividends paid during the performance period based on the target shares granted, no stockholder rights, including voting, or liquidation rights will be conferred upon the recipient until becoming the record holder of those shares.

Compensation expense for these units is based on the fair value of the grants at the grant date and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, total compensation expense for the PSUs was$1.1 million. The total fair value of the PSUs at December 31, 2025 was$5.2 million.

Note 17 — Employee Benefits
401(k) Plan
We have a 401(k) plan for the benefit of substantially all of our employees. We match 75% of participant contributions to the 401(k) plan up to 8% of each 401(k) plan participant’s annual compensation. Contributions to the 401(k) plan were$3.2 million,$3.1 million and$3.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Personal Paid Time Off
Full time employees of the Bank are provided a benefit for personal paid time off for vacation and sick time based on their length of employment. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the accrued expense liability for personal paid time off was$3.7 million and$3.4 million, respectively.
Bank-Owned Life Insurance
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance was$56.7 million and$57.2 million, respectively. The Bank is the main beneficiary under each policy, although certain covered officers named on a policy are eligible for their heirs to be paid upon their death. In the event of the death of a covered officer, we will receive the specified insurance benefit from the insurance carrier.
Note 18 — Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, we are involved in various legal claims. Management has reviewed all legal claims against us with in-house or outside legal counsel and has taken into consideration the views of such counsel as to the outcome of the claims. In management’s opinion, the final disposition of all such claims will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Note 19 — 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 our 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 recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and may expire without ever being utilized.
The Bank’s exposure to credit 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 December 31, 2025, the Bank was obligated on$150.0 million of letters of credit to the FHLBSF which were being used as collateral for$150.0 million of deposits from the State of California.
The following table shows the distribution of undisbursed loan commitments as of the dates indicated:
| December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| (in thousands) | ||
| Commitments to extend credit | $930,122 | $782,291 |

| Commercial letters of credit | 5,761 | 18,324 |
| Total undisbursed loan commitments | $1,098,954 | $898,078 |
The allowance for credit losses related to off-balance sheet items is maintained at a level believed to be sufficient to absorb probable losses related to these unfunded credit facilities. The determination of the allowance adequacy is 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. Net adjustments to the allowance for credit losses related to off-balance sheet items are included in other operating expenses.
Activity in the allowance for credit losses related to off-balance sheet items was as follows for the periods indicated:

Note 20 —Derivatives and Hedging Activities
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivative
The Company is exposed to certain risk 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 $139.7 million as of December 31, 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, 2026, to hedge a pool ofone-month SOFR-indexed loans against falling rates. The principal balance of the loan pool designated for the SOFR-indexed loans was $116.6 million as of December 31, 2025.
For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the total fair value of the derivative, which is inclusive of accrued interest, 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. 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 2025, $0.8 million was reclassified as a decrease to interest income. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional $0.5 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest income.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
The Company also enters into interest rate swap agreements with 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision stating that 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 December 31, 2025 and 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 December 31, 2025 and 2024, no collateral was provided related to these agreements.
Note 21 — Qualified Affordable Housing Project Investments

Note 22 — Liquidity
Hanmi Financial
At December 31, 2025 and 2024, Hanmi Financial had$8.8 million and$11.4 million, respectively, in cash on deposit with the Bank. In addition, at December 31, 2025 and 2024, Hanmi Financial had$46.2 million and $38.8 million of securities available for sale that consisted solely of U.S. Treasury securities.
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 our customers who either wish 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 December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Bank had$150.0 million and$262.5 million of FHLB advances,$88.5 million and$60.7 million of brokered deposits, and$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 December 31, 2025, the total borrowing capacity available based on pledged collateral and the remaining available borrowing capacity was$1.76 billion and$1.46 billion, respectively, compared to$1.69 billion and$1.30 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2024.
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 advance rates for qualifying collateral may be adjusted upwards or downwards by the FHLB 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, 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 had an available borrowing source of$424.5 million from the Federal Reserve Discount Window, to which the Bank pledged loans with a carrying value of $528.1 million, and hadno borrowings as of December 31, 2025. The Bank maintains other sources of liquidity, including a line of credit for repurchase agreements up to $100.0 million and four unsecured federal funds lines of credit totaling $140.0 million. These sources hadno outstanding balances as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Note 24 — 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.
Accounting policies for the banking segment are the same as those described in Note 1 -Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Segment performance is evaluated using consolidated net income.
The following table presents information reported internally for performance assessment by the chief operating decision maker for the following periods:
