NEWS RELEASE

EAST WEST BANCORP REPORTS RECORD QUARTERLY NET INCOME OF $382 MILLION AND RECORD QUARTERLY DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE OF $2.76 ON RECORD TOTAL REVENUE

Pasadena, California – October 20, 2026 – East West Bancorp, Inc. (“East West” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EWBC), parent company of East West Bank, reported third quarter 2026 net income of $382 million, or $2.76 per diluted share. Total loans and deposits reached new record levels of $59.7 billion and $71.5 billion, respectively, as of September 30, 2026. Return on average assets was 1.79%, return on average common equity was 16.3%, and return on average tangible common equity1 was 17.2%.

“I am pleased to report another record-breaking quarter for East West,” said Dominic Ng, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Revenue, net interest income, pre-tax pre-provision income (“PTPP”), net income, and diluted earnings per share all set new records. Deposits and loans also finished the quarter at record levels, with noninterest-bearing demand deposits increasing nearly 15% year-over-year. This deposit growth underscores the success of our small business checking strategy and reflects our ability to build broader, more valuable relationships with our customers.”

“Fee income remained strong, increasing 11% year-over-year during the first nine months of 2026, supported by solid third-quarter growth in commercial deposit account fees. Our disciplined approach to credit and expense management continued to bear fruit this quarter. Asset quality remained resilient, and given continued uncertainty in the economic outlook, we further bolstered our allowance for loan losses,” said Ng.

“East West continues to operate from a position of strength. Our diversified business model, conservatively managed balance sheet, and industry-leading profitability should enable us to deliver top-quartile returns for our shareholders in the years ahead,” Ng concluded.

Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS represent net income and diluted EPS adjusted for the following tax-effected impacts: discount accretion and interest recoveries from the full payment on purchased credit-impaired and workout loans, change in equity award expense recognition for retirement eligible employees, FDIC special assessment and DC Solar recoveries; and the impact of the CA SSF. Management believes that presenting the computations of the adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted return on average assets and adjusted return on average common equity provide clarity to financial statement users regarding the ongoing performance of the Company and allow comparability to prior periods. •Discount accretion and interest recoveries from the full payment on purchased credit impaired and workout loans are included in Interest and dividend income on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. •During the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, the Company recorded $27 million of additional compensation due to the change in equity award expense recognition for retirement eligible employees (included in Compensation and employee benefits on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income). •FDIC special assessment reversals are included in Deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. •Recoveries related to the Company’s investment in DC Solar are included in Other investment income, Other operating expense, and Amortization of Tax Credit and CRA Investments, as applicable, on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance. Non-GAAP measures used consist of FTE net interest income and total revenue. The FTE adjustment relates to tax exempt interest on certain investment securities and loans. Adjusted total revenue and adjusted total revenue (FTE) reflect the adjustments related to the discount accretion and interest recoveries from the full payment on purchased credit-impaired and workout loans and DC Solar recoveries (as applicable). Adjusted noninterest expense reflects the change in equity award expense recognition for retirement eligible employees, the FDIC special assessment and DC Solar recoveries (as applicable). Efficiency ratio (FTE) represents noninterest expense divided by total revenue (FTE). Adjusted efficiency ratio and adjusted efficiency ratio (FTE) reflect the impacts of the aforementioned adjustments. Pre-tax, pre-provision income (FTE) represents total revenue (FTE) less noninterest expense. Adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision income (FTE) represents total revenue (FTE) less adjusted noninterest expense.

Return on average TCE represents tangible net income divided by average tangible book value. Tangible net income excludes the after-tax impacts of the amortization of mortgage servicing assets. Adjusted return on average TCE represents adjusted tangible net income divided by average tangible book value. Adjusted tangible net income is tangible net income excluding the following tax-effected impacts: discount accretion and interest recoveries from the full payment on purchased credit-impaired and workout loans, change in equity award expense recognition for retirement eligible employees, FDIC special assessment and DC Solar recoveries, and the impact of the CA SSF. Given that the use of such measures and ratios is more prevalent in the banking industry, and are used by banking regulators and analysts, the Company has included them below for discussion.
