TACOMA, Washington, January 26, 2012 -- Columbia Banking System, Inc. (NASDAQ: COLB) (“Columbia”) today announced net income applicable to common shareholders of $14.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, an increase of 17% compared to net income of $12.6 million for the same quarter of 2010. On a diluted earnings per common share basis, net income rose 16% to $0.37 for the fourth quarter, compared with net income of $0.32 per share a year earlier.

Net income applicable to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $48.0 million, an increase of 86% from net income of $25.8 million for 2010. On a diluted per common share basis, net income for 2011 was $1.21 compared with a $0.72 a year earlier.
“2011 was an exceptional year of growth and opportunity for us,” said Melanie Dressel, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continued to make significant progress in our often-stated goal of being a leading Pacific Northwest regional community bank. Our total assets increased by about 13% from a year ago as a result of organic growth as well as the FDIC-assisted acquisitions of First Heritage Bank and Summit Bank during the second quarter, and Bank of Whitman during the third quarter of 2011. These transactions increased the number of our branches by 21%, extended our geographic footprint further into eastern Washington, and helped us fill in our branch network in northwest Washington. The integration of First Heritage and Summit are complete; the Bank of Whitman integration will be accomplished by the end of the first quarter.”
Significant Influences on the Quarter Ended December 31, 2011
Impact of Acquired Loan Accounting
We account for loans under three general models which impact the way income and credit losses are recorded in our financial statements: Originated Loans, Discounted Loans, and Pooled Loans. Originated and discounted loans are presented as “Noncovered Loans.” Pooled loans are presented as “Covered Loans.” Please refer to Note 1 in the accompanying financial statements for further explanation of each of these models.

The following table illustrates the significant financial statement impacts associated with Columbia's acquired loan portfolios:
Acquired Loan Portfolio Activity | ||||||||
Three Months Ended | Year Ended | |||||||
December 31, 2011 | December 31, 2011 | |||||||
(in thousands) | ||||||||
Accretion income on pooled loans in excess of stated loan rates | $ | 17,222 | $ | 53,079 | ||||
Accretion income on discounted loans | 9,184 | 14,281 | ||||||
Change in FDIC loss sharing asset | (17,448 | ) | (49,496 | ) | ||||
Claw back liability | (362 | ) | (3,656 | ) | ||||
Pre-tax earnings impact | $ | 8,596 | $ | 14,208 | ||||
The accretion income on pooled loans represents the amount of income recorded on the pooled loans above the contractual rate stated in the individual loan notes and stems from the discount established at the time these loan portfolios were acquired.
As of December 31, 2011, the unamortized discount from the Bank of Whitman transaction was $11.3 million. It is anticipated that this discount will continue to accrete to earnings from normal amortization, early loan payoffs and contractual maturities.
The change in the FDIC loss sharing asset recognizes the decreased amount that Columbia expects to collect from the FDIC under the terms of its loss sharing agreements. The $17.4 million change in the FDIC loss sharing asset affected noninterest income, and resulted in a reported noninterest loss of $9.6 million for the current quarter. The FDIC loss sharing asset was $175.1 million as of December 31, 2011. The pooled loan portfolio had a remaining accretable yield of $260.0 million as of year-end 2011.
The pooled loan portfolios continue to perform better than originally expected, requiring us to increase our clawback liability from $3.3 million to $3.7 million during the fourth quarter through a charge to noninterest expense of $362 thousand. The $3.7 million represents the net present value of management's clawback liability estimate of $5.5 million. The clawback liability is calculated by evaluating each individual portfolio covered by a loss sharing agreement with the FDIC. The liability is adjusted upward or downward according to the total expected losses over the loss share period.

Balance Sheet
At December 31, 2011, Columbia's total assets were $4.79 billion, an increase of 13% from $4.26 billion at December 31, 2010. Total shareholders' equity at December 31, 2011 was $759.6 million, an increase of 7% from $706.9 million at December 31, 2010.
Loans not covered under the FDIC loss-sharing agreements “noncovered loans” were $2.35 billion at December 31, 2011, up 23% from $1.92 billion at December 31, 2010. The average yield on loans for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 was 9.5%, including additional accretion from the acquired loan portfolios. Net noncovered loan growth for the fourth quarter 2011 was approximately $90 million.
The loan portfolio includes 44% commercial business loans, 4% total construction including commercial and residential, 3% one-to-four family residential real estate, and 8% consumer. The remaining 41% of the portfolio is commercial real estate, which consists of 57% income property and 43% owner occupied. Net loans covered under the FDIC loss sharing agreements which provide protection against credit risk, totaled $531.9 million at December 31, 2011. Our noncovered loans continue to be diversified, mitigating risk by avoiding concentration in any one segment within the major loan categories.
Total deposits at December 31, 2011 increased 15% to $3.82 billion from $3.33 billion at December 31, 2010. Core deposits (defined as demand, savings, money market accounts and certificates of deposit under $100,000) comprised 92% of total deposits, and were $3.51 billion at December 31, 2011, an increase of 17% from $3.0 billion at December 31, 2010. The average cost of deposits for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 was 0.30%, down from 0.38% for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011.
Net Interest Margin
Columbia's net interest margin increased to 7.14% in the fourth quarter of 2011, up from 4.35% for the same quarter last year, 6.53% in the third quarter 2011, and 5.80% and 5.49% for the first and second quarter of 2011, respectively. The net interest margin, excluding the additional accretion income from acquired loans, improved during the year due to reduced funding expense, increased loan originations, and the redeployment of interest earning deposits with banks into the investment portfolio. However, the increase in the net interest margin was tempered by lower prevailing loan origination rates.

The table below shows the effect on the net interest margin of the increased yield from the additional accretion of income over the stated contractual loan rate on the acquired loan portfolios for the fourth quarter and the full year 2011.

Net interest margin excluding additional accretion income | 4.68 | % | 4.53 | % | ||||
Reported net interest margin | 7.14 | % | 6.29 | % | ||||
Asset Quality
Nonperforming assets reflected a modest improvement for the quarter; with credit metrics continuing their positive trend. At December 31, 2011, nonperforming assets were $85.4 million, down from $89.3 million at September 30, 2011, and $120.2 million at December 31, 2010. The decrease in nonperforming assets for the quarter was primarily centered in commercial real estate assets. For the quarter, the Company added $5.1 million in new nonperforming assets, experienced charge-offs associated with nonperforming assets of $3.2 million, and received payments of $2.6 million. We also reduced other real estate owned (OREO) and other property owned (OPPO) by $2.6 million and placed $586 thousand of previously nonperforming loans back on accrual status. For the quarter ended December 31, 2011, net loan charge-offs were $2.1 million, compared to $5.1 million for the same period a year ago. Net charge-offs were primarily centered in commercial permanent real estate and commercial business loans.

For the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company made a provision of $4.75 million for noncovered loans. For the comparable quarter last year, the Company made a provision of $3.8 million. The provision for noncovered loan losses was predominately driven by the Company's organic loan growth and the establishment of a reserve for discounted loans acquired in the Bank of Whitman transaction.
The allowances for noncovered loan losses, including originated and discounted loans, to period-end noncovered loans, was 2.26% at December 31, 2011 compared to 2.23% at September 30, 2011. The allowance for originated loan losses to originated period-end loans was 2.31% compared to 2.43% at September 30, 2011 and 3.18% at December 31, 2010. The decrease is due primarily to the previously mentioned loan growth and improved asset quality.

Fourth Quarter 2011 Operating Results
Quarter ended December 31, 2011
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $72.1 million, an increase of 86% from $38.8 million for the same quarter in 2010, primarily due to the impact of our FDIC-assisted transactions. The Company's net interest margin increased to 7.14% in the fourth quarter of 2011, from 4.35% for the same quarter last year. The net interest margin in the fourth quarter was positively impacted by approximately 200 basis points (a basis point equals 1/100 of 1%) due to the $17.4 million accretion of the discount on the loan portfolios acquired in the five FDIC-assisted transactions.
Average interest-earning assets were $4.10 billion during the fourth quarter, an increase of 11% compared with $3.68 billion during the same quarter of 2010. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased to 7.42% during the fourth quarter compared with 4.84% in the same quarter of 2010. During the same period, average interest-bearing liabilities increased to $2.81 billion from $2.63 billion in the fourth quarter of 2010. The average cost of interest bearing deposits for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 was less than 0.30%.
Noninterest Income (Loss)
Total noninterest income (loss) for the fourth quarter of 2011 was a loss of $9.6 million. The noninterest loss was driven by the $17.4 million change in the FDIC loss sharing asset and the $3.0 million impairment charge on investment securities. Other components of noninterest income were generally higher in the fourth quarter of 2011 when compared with the same period in the previous year. These increases are attributed to the additional transaction volumes resulting from the FDIC assisted transactions which occurred during the second and third quarters of 2011.
8
Noninterest Expense
Total noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $41.3 million, an increase of 18% from $35.0 million for the same quarter in 2010. The increase is attributable to the operating expenses of the three banks acquired since May, 2011 and the FDIC clawback liability.
The efficiency ratio at December 31, 2011 was 69.56%, compared to 65.33% for the same quarter last year. Ms. Dressel commented, “Our efficiency ratio continues to be elevated, reflecting the impact of the FDIC-assisted transactions which include the related additions of 18 branches and credit-related expenses. Of course, this ratio is also greatly impacted by the challenging revenue growth environment presented by the current economy. Nevertheless, we are not satisfied with our ratio; we are very focused on controlling expenses and enhancing revenue wherever possible.
Organizational Update
Ms. Dressel commented, “To underscore our commitment to our customers in the Clallam County, Washington area, we are relocating our Sequim and Port Angeles branches to new full service locations allowing for increased convenience and expanded services.”
Ms. Dressel continued, “We were very gratified that our commitment to providing a strong, secure and customer-focused community bank was reflected in our ranking as the best bank headquartered in Washington State by the Forbes list of America's Best Banks. We were also listed as second in the Northwest, and 34th in the nation.” The list ranked 100 of the largest publicly traded banks in the Country, and gauged their health based on eight key financial metrics.
2011 Community Banker of the Year
In December, Melanie Dressel was named by American Banker magazine as one of its Community Bankers of the Year for 2011. The magazine cited her “confidence to stick with a traditional community banking approach” resulting in the strength to acquire failed banks in the region, as well as achieving strong organic growth.

Note 1. Loan Portfolio Accounting
We account for loans under three general models. It is important to understand these models as they impact the way income and credit losses are recorded in our financial statements.
Originated Loans: The majority of our loans are originated loans. These loans are originated through our lending departments and branch network. Originated loans are recorded at their unpaid principal balance upon origination, net of deferred fees and costs. Interest income is recognized on these loans through the accrual of interest at the loans' stated rates, plus the accretion or amortization of the net deferred fee or origination cost. Credit losses are recorded through the provision for loan losses when we estimate that a loss on loans has been incurred. For more detail regarding our allowance methodology please refer to Note 8 to the financial statements in our annual report on Form 10-K.
Discounted Loans: Discounted loans are the loans acquired through acquisitions or direct purchase for which we believe a credit loss is not probable at the time of acquisition. Generally these loans as a group do not exhibit pervasive indications of declines in credit quality from the time of initial origination. Currently none of our discounted loans are covered by indemnification agreements with the FDIC. Discounted loans are recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition. The estimate of fair value includes a discount related to credit risk and a premium or discount related to interest rates that is recorded for each loan separately. Interest income is recognized through the accrual of interest at the loans' stated rates, plus accretion or amortization of the discount or premium recorded at acquisition. The average discount upon acquisition was approximately 12% and will be recognized over the remaining term of these loans. Credit losses for discounted loans are recorded through the provision for loan losses using a similar methodology as originated loans. However, the amount of expected incurred loss of unpaid principal must be compared to the net carrying value which includes the remaining discount or premium. As significant discounts were recorded upon acquisition we believe our exposure to credit losses on these loans has been significantly reduced.
Pooled Loans: Pooled loans, which we previously referred to as “acquired” or “covered” loans, are loans acquired through acquisitions or purchases for which we believe there was significant and pervasive credit deterioration subsequent to origination. The majority of these loans are initially covered by indemnification agreements from the FDIC that generally indemnify us for 80% of potential credit losses. Over time we may renew or modify loans that meet our underwriting standards and risk profile at which time the loan would no longer be covered by the FDIC indemnification, but would still be accounted for as a pooled loan. Currently, approximately 98% of our investment in pooled loans is covered by indemnification agreements with the FDIC. These loans are grouped into pools with similar characteristics at the time of acquisition and recorded at fair value. The estimated fair value is comprised of the loans' unpaid principal balance and contractual interest, a non-accretable difference representing expected credit losses, and an accretable yield representing the amount of interest income expected to be recognized over the life of the pool. As our estimates of credit losses or prepayment speeds change, the amount of accretable yield recognized as interest income in the period can change significantly. When expected credit losses for a pool increase above the remaining non-accretable difference a provision for loan losses is recorded. For additional detail regarding our loan portfolio please refer to Note 7 to the financial statements in our annual report on Form 10-K.
