“East West Federal Savings Bank was founded in 1973 with a mission to serve the financial needs of Asian immigrants in Los Angeles, who were overlooked by mainstream banks. As our customers grew and prospered, achieving their personal and business ambitions, so did East West. With over $60 billion in total assets and annual earnings over $1 billion, East West has grown to be the largest independent bank headquartered in Southern California. Our customer base and geographic footprint expanded, along with the breadth and technological sophistication of our lending, deposit, and fee-based products and services. Today, we provide a seamless banking experience for clients on both sides of the Pacific, executing on our vision to be the bridge between the East and the West,” continued Ng.
“In celebrating our 50th anniversary, we are honored to be the bank of choice for our customers, and thankful and proud of all our associates for their dedication to our clients and East West. We are positive about 2023 and expect to continue our track record of outstanding profitability, achieved through solid revenue growth and disciplined expense management, while maintaining healthy capital levels. As we start the year, we are pleased to announce a 20% increase in our common stock dividend,” concluded Ng.

(a)
The Company has elected to use the 2020 CECL transition provision in the calculation of its December 31, 2022, September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021 regulatory capital ratios. The Company’s December 31, 2022 regulatory capital ratios and RWA are preliminary.
(b)
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.

the impact of communications or technology disruption, failure in, or breach of, the Company’s operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of third party vendors with which the Company does business, including as a result of cyber-attacks; and other similar matters which could result in, among other things, confidential and/or proprietary information being disclosed or misused, and materially impact the Company’s ability to provide services to its clients; the adequacy of the Company’s risk management framework, disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting; future credit quality and performance, including the Company’s expectations regarding future credit losses and allowance levels; the impact of adverse changes to the Company’s credit ratings from major credit rating agencies; the impact of adverse judgments or settlements in litigation; the impact on the Company’s operations due to political developments, pandemics, wars, civil unrest, terrorism or other hostilities that may disrupt or increase volatility in securities or otherwise affect business and economic conditions;

GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION
($ in thousands)
(unaudited)
Table 12
The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance. Adjusted efficiency ratio represents adjusted noninterest expense divided by revenue. Adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision profitability ratio represents total revenue less adjusted noninterest expense, divided by average total assets. Adjusted noninterest expense excludes the amortization of tax credit and other investments and the amortization of core deposit intangibles. Management believes that the measures and ratios presented below provide clarity to financial statement users regarding the ongoing performance of the Company and allow comparability to prior periods.
