  • The allowance for credit losses is deducted from the amortized cost basis of a financial asset or a group of financial assets so that the balance sheet reflects the net amount the Company expects to collect.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain “forward-looking statements” intended to be covered by the safe harbor for such statements provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. East West Bancorp, Inc. (referred to herein on an unconsolidated basis as “East West” and on a consolidated basis as the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “EWBC”) may make forward-looking statements in other documents that it files with, or furnishes to, the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and management may make forward-looking statements to analysts, investors, media members and others. Forward-looking statements are those that do not relate to historical facts and that are based on current assumptions, beliefs, estimates, expectations and projections, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond the Company’s control. Forward-looking statements may relate to various matters, including the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance, business or industry, and usually can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “anticipates,” “assumes,” “believes,” “can,” “continues,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “goal,” “intends,” “likely,” “may,” “might,” “objective,” “plans,” “potential,” “projects,” “remains,” “should,” “target,” “trend,” “will,” “would” or similar expressions or variations thereof, and the negative thereof, although these terms are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, as they are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties.

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, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 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., the People’s Republic of China and other countries;
• armed conflict involving Iran or heightened geopolitical tensions in other regions, including resulting oil price volatility and energy and other supply disruptions;
• changes in the commercial and consumer real estate markets;
• changes in consumer or commercial spending, savings and borrowing habits, 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 its ability to receive dividends from subsidiaries;
• 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 future results to differ materially from historical performance and any forward-looking statements, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2026 under the heading Item 1A. Risk Factors and the Company’s subsequent filings with the SEC. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and are based solely on information then actually known to the Company. The Company does not undertake, and expressly disclaims, any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements, except as required by law.

EAST WEST BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Current Accounting Developments

East West Bancorp, Inc. (referred to herein on an unconsolidated basis as “East West” and on a consolidated basis as the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “EWBC”) is a registered bank holding company that offers a full range of banking services to individuals and businesses through its subsidiary bank, East West Bank and its subsidiaries (“East West Bank” or the “Bank”). The unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) include the accounts of East West, East West Bank and East West’s subsidiaries. All i ntercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), applicable guidelines prescribed by regulatory authorities and general practices in the banking industry. While the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation, they primarily serve to update the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the U.S. SEC on February 27, 2026 (the “Company’s 2025 Form 10-K”), and may not include all the information and notes necessary to constitute a complete set of financial statements. Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K.

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. 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 items on the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes for the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Events subsequent to the Consolidated Balance Sheet date have been evaluated through the date the Consolidated Financial Statements are issued for inclusion in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Yet to be Adopted

Standard Required Date of Adoption Description Effect on Financial Statements
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) : Hedge Accounting Improvements
January 1, 2027

Early adoption is permitted.
ASU 2025-09 addresses five specific matters:

1. Broadens the set of hedged risk that may be combined within a group of individual forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge.
2. Enables entities to apply cash flow hedge accounting on “choose-your-rate” debt.
3. Broadens situations where hedge accounting can be applied to forecasted purchases and sales of nonfinancial assets.
4. Removes the requirement to perform net written option assessment for a compound derivative when it is designated as a hedging instrument.
5. In the case of a dual hedge where a foreign-currency-denominated debt instrument is designated as the hedging instrument in a net investment hedge and a hedged item in a fair value of interest rate risk, the ASU requires the debt instruments’ fair value-hedge basis adjustment be excluded when performing the net investment hedge effectiveness assessment.

This guidance must be applied prospectively for all hedging relationships.
The Company does not expect adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

10

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Yet to be Adopted (Continued)

Standard Required Date of Adoption Description Effect on Financial Statements

ASU No. 2025-08, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326)
January 1, 2027

Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2025-08 broadens the population of financial assets that are within scope of the gross up approach under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326 to include purchased seasoned loans which are defined as:

• Non-Purchased Credit Deteriorated (“PCD”) loans that are obtained in a business combination.
• Non-PCD loans that are (1) obtained in an asset acquisition or upon consolidation of a VIE that is not a business and (2) are acquired more than 90 days after their origination date by a transferee that was not involved in their origination.

The guidance also introduces an accounting policy election to use the amortized cost basis of the asset rather than the discounted cash flow analysis to subsequently measure the credit losses on purchased seasoned loans.

The new guidance is not applicable to credit card loans, ASC 606 receivables, or debt securities. The guidance must be applied prospectively.
The Company does not expect adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): D isaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
December 31, 2027

Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2024-03 requires public companies to disclose, in interim and annual reporting periods, additional information about certain expenses in the notes to financial statements. Disclosures of disaggregated expenses include the following:

• The amounts of (a) purchases of inventory; (b) employee compensation; (c) depreciation; (d) intangible asset amortization; and (e) depreciation, depletion and amortization of capitalized costs related to oil- and gas-producing activities in each relevant expense caption.
• A qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively.
The Company does not expect adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 2 — Fair Value Measurement and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Under applicable accounting standards, the Company measures a portion of its assets and liabilities at fair value. These assets and liabilities are predominantly recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. At times, certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, they are subject to fair value adjustments only as required through the application of an accounting method such as lower of cost or fair value or write-down of individual assets. The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities into three levels based on the established fair value hierarchy and conducts a review of fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. For more information regarding the fair value hierarchy and how the Company measures fair value, see Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Significant Accounting Policies — Fair Value to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis may include certain individually evaluated loans held-for-investment, loans held-for-sale, affordable housing partnership, tax credit and CRA investments, OREO, and other nonperforming assets. Nonrecurring fair value adjustments may result from the impairment on certain individually evaluated loans held-for-investment and affordable housing partnership, tax credit and CRA investments, from the write-downs of OREO and other nonperforming assets, or from the application of lower of cost or fair value on loans held-for-sale.

Loans Held-for-Sale — Loans held-for-investment subsequently transferred to held-for-sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value upon transfer. Loans held-for-sale may be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when fair value is less than cost. Fair value is generally determined based on available market data for similar loans and therefore, loans held-for-sale are classified as Level 2.

For additional information regarding the valuation methodologies used for the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, as well as their general classification within the fair value hierarchy, see Note 2 — Fair Value Measurement and Fair Value of Financial Instruments to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K.

Note 3 — Securities Purchased under Resale Agreements and Sold Under Repurchase Agreements

The Company’s resale agreements expose it to credit risk from both the counterparties and the underlying collateral. The Company manages credit exposure from certain transactions by entering into master netting agreements and collateral arrangements with the counterparties. The relevant agreements allow for an efficient closeout of the transaction, liquidation and set-off of collateral against the net amount owed by the counterparty following a default. It is the Company’s policy to take possession, where possible, of the assets underlying resale agreements. As a result of the Company’s credit risk mitigation practices with respect to resale agreements as described above, the Company did not hold any reserves for credit impairment with respect to these agreements as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. There were no repurchase agreements as of December 31, 2025.

Balance Sheet Offsetting

The Company’s resale and repurchase agreements are transacted under legally enforceable master netting agreements that, in the event of default by the counterparty, provide the Company with the right to liquidate securities held and to offset receivables and payables with the same counterparty. The Company nets resale and repurchase transactions with the same counterparty on the Consolidated Balance Sheet when it has a legally enforceable master netting agreement and the transactions are eligible for netting under ASC 210-20-45-11, Balance Sheet Offsetting Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Agreements . Collateral received includes securities that are not recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Collateral pledged consists of securities that are not netted on the Consolidated Balance Sheet against the related collateralized liability. Securities received or pledged as collateral in resale and repurchase agreements with other financial institutions may also be sold or re-pledged by the secured party, and are usually delivered to and held by third-party trustees. For more information regarding the Company’s accounting policy related to resale and repurchase agreement, see Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Significant Accounting Policies — Assets Purchased under Resale Agreements and Securities Sold under Repurchase Agreements to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had 467 AFS debt securities in a gross unrealized loss position, primarily consisting of 261 U.S. government agency and U.S. government-sponsored enterprise mortgage-backed securities, 45 corporate debt securities and 61 non-agency mortgage-backed securities. In comparison, as of December 31, 2025, the Company had 429 AFS debt securities in a gross unrealized loss position, primarily consisting of 222 U.S. government agency and U.S. government-sponsored enterprise mortgage-backed securities, 47 corporate debt securities and 66 non-agency mortgage-backed securities.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Available-for-Sale Debt Securities

The Company evaluates each AFS debt security where the fair value declines below amortized cost. For a discussion of the factors and criteria the Company uses in analyzing securities for impairment related to credit losses, see Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Significant Accounting Policies — Allowance for Credit Losses on Available-for-Sale Debt Securities to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K.

The gross unrealized losses presented in the preceding tables were primarily attributable to interest rate movement and the widening of liquidity and/or credit spreads. U.S. Treasury, U.S. government agency, U.S. government-sponsored agency, and U.S. government-sponsored enterprise debt and mortgage-backed securities are issued, guaranteed, or otherwise supported by the U.S. government and have a zero credit loss assumption. The remaining securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2026 were mainly comprised of the following:

• Corporate debt securities — The market value movement as of March 31, 2026 was primarily due to interest rate movement and spread change. A portion of the corporate debt securities is comprised of subordinated debt securities issued by U.S. banks. These securities are nearly all rated investment grade by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSROs”) and issued by well-capitalized financial institutions with strong profitability. The contractual payments from these corporate debt securities have been and are expected to be received on time. The Company will continue to monitor the market developments in the banking sector and the credit performance of these securities.
• Non-agency mortgage-backed securities — The market value movement for the majority of these securities as of March 31, 2026 was primarily due to interest rate movement and spread change. A substantial majority of the non-agency mortgage-backed securities are rated investment grade by NRSROs or have high priority in the cash flow waterfall within the securitization structure, and the contractual payments have historically been on time. Accordingly, the Company believes the risk of credit losses on these securities is low.

As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company intended to hold the AFS debt securities with unrealized losses through the anticipated recovery period and it was more-likely-than-not that the Company would not have to sell these securities before the recovery of their amortized cost. The issuers of these securities have not, to the Company’s knowledge, established any cause for default on these securities. As a result, the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.

There was no allowance for credit losses recorded against these securities as of March 31, 2026, compared with an allowance for credit losses of $ 2 million as of December 31, 2025, related to a non-agency commercial mortgage-backed security that experienced a deterioration in both its credit rating and expected cash flows, resulting in its fair value falling below amortized cost. A $ 192 thousand reversal of credit losses was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as a result of the sale of this security, compared with no provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2025

Allowance for Credit Losses on Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities

The Company separately evaluates its HTM debt securities for any credit losses using an expected loss model, similar to the methodology used for loans. For additional information on the Company’s credit loss methodology, refer to Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Significant Accounting Policies — Allowance for Credit Losses on Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K.
23

The Company monitors the credit quality of the HTM debt securities using external credit ratings. As of March 31, 2026, all HTM securities were rated investment grade by NRSROs and issued, guaranteed, or supported by U.S. government entities and agencies. Accordingly, the Company applied a zero credit loss assumption and no allowance for credit losses was recorded as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Overall, the Company believes that the credit support levels of the debt securities are strong and based on current assessments and macroeconomic forecasts, expects that full contractual cash flows will be received.

Note 5 — Derivatives

The Company uses derivative instruments to manage exposure to market risk, primarily interest rate and foreign currency risks, as well as to assist customers with their risk management objectives. The Company’s goal is to manage interest rate sensitivity and volatility to mitigate the effect of interest rate changes on earnings or capital. The Company may also use foreign exchange contracts to manage the foreign exchange rate risk associated with certain foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities, the funding needs of, as well as the Bank’s investment in, East West Bank (China) Limited. The Company recognizes all derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value. While the Company designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments in a qualifying hedge accounting relationship, other derivatives serve as economic hedges. For additional information on the Company’s derivatives and hedging activities, see Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Significant Accounting Policies — Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K.

The following table presents the notional amounts and fair values of the Company’s derivatives as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Certain derivative contracts are cleared through central clearing organizations where variation margin is applied daily as settlement to the fair values of the contracts. The fair values are presented on a gross basis prior to the application of bilateral collateral and master netting agreements, but after the application of variation margin payments as settlement to fair values of contracts cleared through central clearing organizations. Applying variation margin payments as settlement to the fair values of derivative contracts cleared through the London Clearing House (“LCH”) and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”) resulted in reductions in the derivative asset and liability fair values of $ 14 million and $ 34 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2026. In comparison, applying variation margin payments as settlement to LCH- and CME-cleared derivative transactions resulted in reductions in the derivative asset and liability fair values of $ 16 million and $ 3 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2025. Total gross derivative asset and liability fair values are then adjusted to reflect the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements and cash collateral received or paid. The resulting net derivative asset and liability fair values are included in Other assets and Accrued expenses and other liabilities , respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments

Cash Flow Hedges — The Company uses interest rate swaps and collars to hedge the variability in the interest amount received on certain floating-rate commercial loans due to changes in the contractually specified interest rates. As of March 31, 2026, interest rate contracts in notional amounts of $ 4.3  billion were designated as cash flow hedges to convert certain variable-rate loans from floating-rate payments to fixed-rate payments. Gains and losses on the hedging derivative instruments are recognized in AOCI and reclassified to earnings in the same period the hedged cash flows impact earnings and are recorded within the same income statement line item as the hedged cash flows. Considering the interest rates, yield curve and notional amount as of March 31, 2026, the Company expects to reclassify an estimated $ 2  million of after-tax net gains on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges from AOCI into earnings during the next 12 months.

The following table presents the pre-tax changes in AOCI from cash flow hedges for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The after-tax impact of cash flow hedges on AOCI is shown in Note 12 — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.
