**EAST WEST BANCORP REPORTS RECORD NET INCOME FOR 2025 OF $1.3 BILLION AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE OF $9.52; INCREASES DIVIDEND 33%**

**Pasadena, California** – January 22, 2026 – East West Bancorp, Inc. ("East West" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: EWBC), parent company of East West Bank, reported its financial results for the full year and fourth quarter of 2025. Full year 2025 net income was $1.3 billion, or $9.52 per diluted share. Fourth quarter 2025 net income was $356 million, or $2.55 per diluted share. Full-year returns on average assets were 1.70%, returns on average common equity were 16.0%, and book value per share grew 15.9% year-over-year.

"2025 marked another record year for revenue, net interest income, fees, noninterest income, net income, and earnings per share," said Dominic Ng, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our results underscore the breadth of value we provide our clients. I am particularly proud of our associates' focus on driving growth in business checking account relationships. We added thousands of new business accounts in 2025 and experienced healthy growth in noninterest-bearing deposit balances. In doing so, we strengthened the durability of our business, generated a 17% return on average tangible common equity<sup>1</sup> for shareholders, and increased tangible book value per share<sup>1</sup> by 17% year-over-year," Ng continued.

"Credit trends remained resilient, with net charge-offs and criticized loans both declining quarter-over-quarter," Ng continued. "Given our strong capital and profitability, we are pleased to announce the board declared a $0.20 increase in our quarterly common stock dividend to $0.80 per quarter. We remain committed to delivering top-tier shareholder returns, supported by prudent balance sheet growth, industry-leading efficiency, and sound risk management," concluded Ng.

---

(a)The Company's December 31, 2025 regulatory capital ratios and RWA are preliminary.

(b)The Company applied the 2020 Current Expected Credit Losses ("CECL") transition provision in the December 31, 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 was no longer in effect as of January 1, 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 16.

<sup>3</sup> Tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP financial measure. See reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures in Table 16.

*Factors that might cause future results to differ materially from historical performance and any forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: changes in local, regional and global business, economic and political conditions and natural or geopolitical events; the soundness of other financial institutions and the impacts related to or resulting from bank failures and other industry volatility, including potential increased regulatory requirements, FDIC insurance premiums and assessments, and deposit withdrawals; changes in trade, tariff, tax, monetary and fiscal policies; changes in immigration laws and enforcement practices, or travel and visa related policies; current or potential disputes between the U.S. and the People's Republic of China, Singapore, and other countries; changes in the commercial and consumer real estate markets; changes in consumer or commercial spending, savings and borrowing habits, and patterns and behaviors; the Company's ability to compete effectively against financial institutions and other entities, including as a result of emerging technologies; the success and timing of the Company's business strategies; the Company's ability to retain key officers and employees; changes in market interest rates, competition, regulatory requirements and product mix; changes in the Company's costs of operation, compliance and expansion; 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 the disclosure or misuse of confidential information; the adequacy of the Company's risk management framework; future credit quality and performance, including expectations regarding future credit losses and allowance levels; adverse changes to the Company's credit ratings; legal proceedings, regulatory investigations and their resolution; the Company's capital requirements and its ability to generate capital internally or raise capital on favorable terms; the impact on the Company's liquidity due to changes in the Company's ability to receive dividends from its subsidiaries; and any strategic acquisitions or divestitures and the introduction of new or expanded products and services or other events that may directly or indirectly result in a negative impact on the financial performance of the Company and its customers.*

*For a more detailed discussion of some of the factors that might cause such differences, see the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025 under the heading Item 1A. Risk Factors and its subsequent filings with the SEC. You should treat forward-looking statements as speaking only as of the date they are made and based only on information then actually known to the Company. The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of events or circumstances after the date of such statements except as required by law.*

There are various important factors that could cause the Company's future results to differ materially from historical performance and any forward-looking statements, including the factors described in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and in its subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. When considering these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind these risks and uncertainties, as well as any cautionary statements the Company may make. These statements speak only as of the date they are made and are based only on information then actually known to the Company. The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims, any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, except as required by law. Basis of Presentation The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, income and expenses during the reporting periods, and the related disclosures. Although our estimates consider current conditions and how we expect them to change in the future, it is reasonably possible that actual results could be materially different from those estimates. Hence, the current period's results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any future interim period or for the year as a whole. Certain prior period information have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Industry Information This presentation includes statistical and other industry and market data that we obtained from government reports and other third-party sources. Although we believe that this information is accurate and reliable, we have not independently verified such information. Forward-looking information that we have obtained from these sources is subject to the same uncertainties and qualifications as other forward-looking statements contained herein. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Certain financial information in this presentation has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP and is presented on a non-GAAP basis. Investors should refer to the reconciliations included in the appendix to this presentation and should consider the Company's non-GAAP measures in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
