Columbia Banking System Announces First Quarter 2012 Earnings


TACOMA, Washington, April 25, 2012 -- Columbia Banking System, Inc. (NASDAQ: COLB) (“Columbia”) today announced net income of $8.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, an increase of 54% compared to net income of $5.8 million for the same quarter of 2011. Earnings per diluted common share rose 47% to $0.22 for the first quarter, compared with earnings of $0.15 per diluted common share a year earlier.

Loans not covered under the FDIC loss-sharing agreements ('noncovered loans”) increased approximately $23 million during the quarter to $2.37 billion. Total deposits increased $49.9 million to $3.87 billion. Deposits increased in every category except certificates of deposit.

Melanie Dressel, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, “During the quarter, we continued to generate momentum as a result of our external focus on new and existing customers throughout our entire system. From year-end 2011, our commercial business loans grew 4.6% and our extremely strong core deposits rose over 2%, now representing 93% of our total deposits.”

Ms. Dressel continued, “As compared to fourth quarter, 2011, our first quarter results reflected expenses and write-downs associated with other real estate owned and other personal property owned. Also impacting the quarter was lower accretion income from the Bank of Whitman discounted loan portfolio as these loans continue to pay off or refinance.”


Significant Influences on the Quarter Ended March 31, 2012    

Other Real Estate Owned and Other Personal Property Owned

Other real estate owned (“OREO”) declined from $51.0 million at December 31, 2011 to $41.2 million at March 31, 2012. The decline is due to property sales and write-downs of certain assets. As a result of the asset write-downs and other operating expenses, the net cost of operation for noncovered OREO was $2.7 million for the first quarter as compared to $923,000 for the fourth quarter 2011. These expenses were partially offset by the net benefit from covered OREO of $1.8 million for the first quarter 2012 as compared to $1.5 million for the fourth quarter 2011.

During the first quarter, other personal property owned (“OPPO”), declined from $9.0 million at December 31, 2011 to $4.8 million at March 31, 2012. Noncovered OPPO expense was $2.2 million for the first quarter as compared to $22,000 for the fourth quarter 2011. Substantially all of the expense recorded in the first quarter was the result of a write-down on one property due to an updated appraisal.

Andy McDonald, Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer commented, “We continued to see a positive trend during the quarter as we work to resolve issues surrounding our nonperforming assets. As we move through this credit cycle, our provision for loan losses is more closely approximating our charge-offs, in line with our expectations. While we were disappointed with the write-down on OPPO, it was isolated to a single asset, and was not indicative of any systemic issues within our loan, OREO or OPPO portfolios.”

Impact of Acquired Loan Accounting
The following table illustrates the significant impact to earnings associated with certain of Columbia's acquired loan portfolios:

(3,681

The incremental accretion income in the table above represents the amount of income recorded on certain acquired 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 March 31, 2012, the remaining discount from the Bank of Whitman transaction was $8.2 million. It is anticipated that this discount will continue to accrete to earnings throughout 2012 from normal amortization, early loan payoffs and contractual maturities.

The $15.7 million in provision for losses on covered loans in the current period was due to incremental loan losses incurred in the current period which were in excess of those expected from the re-measurement of cash flows during the fourth quarter of 2011.  These incremental loan losses reduced expected future cash flows and, when discounted at current yields, resulted in impairment. The $15.7 million in provision expense is partially off-set by a $12.5 million favorable adjustment to the change in FDIC loss-sharing asset.

The $1.7 million change in the FDIC loss sharing asset in the current quarter affected noninterest income and consists of $13.9 million of scheduled amortization expense, the $12.5 million favorable adjustment described above and approximately $300 thousand of expense related to covered other real estate owned.

Net Interest Margin

Columbia's net interest margin increased to 6.67% in the first quarter of 2012, up from 5.80% for the same period last year and down from 7.14% for the fourth quarter 2011. The Company's net interest margin is impacted significantly by the accounting for acquired loans. The net interest margin for the current quarter reflects additional loan volumes and higher loan yields arising, in part, from the three FDIC-assisted acquisitions completed in the second and third quarters of 2011.

The following table shows the impact to interest income and the related impact to the net interest margin resulting from accretion of income on certain acquired loan portfolios for the periods presented.

The net interest margin was impacted favorably by reduced funding costs. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased to 0.27% for the current quarter from 0.51% for the prior-year period while the average cost of all interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 0.38% from 0.65%.

Balance Sheet
At March 31, 2012, Columbia's total assets were $4.82 billion, an increase of 13% from $4.26 billion at March 31, 2011, and 1% from $4.79 billion at December 31, 2011. Total shareholders' equity at March 31, 2012 was $752.7 million, an increase of 5% from $714.1 million at March 31, 2011 and a decrease of 1% from $759.3 million at December 31, 2011.
Noncovered loans were $2.37 billion at March 31, 2012, up 26% from $1.88 billion at March 31, 2011 and up 1% from $2.35 billion at December 31, 2011. The average yield on loans for the quarter ended

March 31, 2012 was 8.7%, including additional accretion from the acquired loan portfolios. Net noncovered loan growth for the first quarter 2012 was approximately $23 million. Securities were $1.02 billion at March 31, 2012, compared to $1.05 billion at December 31, 2011.


Total deposits at March 31, 2012 increased 16% to $3.87 billion from $3.34 billion at March 31, 2011, and 1% from $3.82 billion at December 31, 2011. Core deposits (defined as demand, savings, money market accounts and certificates of deposit under $100,000) comprised 93% of total deposits, and were $3.59 billion at March 31, 2012, an increase of 19% from $3.03 billion at March 31, 2011, and 2% from $3.51 billion at December 31, 2011.


Asset Quality

At March 31, 2012, nonperforming noncovered assets were $79.1 million, compared to $85.4 million at December 31, 2011. The balance of the originated and discounted loan portfolios remained stable for the quarter, with modest improvements in the 1-4 family real estate construction and consumer portfolios.

For the quarter, the Company reduced noncovered other property owned (OPPO) and other real estate owned (OREO) by $14.1 million and placed $814 thousand of previously nonperforming loans back on accrual status. In addition, the Company added $14.7 million in new nonperforming assets, experienced charge-offs associated with nonperforming assets of $3.5 million, and received payments of $2.5 million.

The provision for noncovered loan losses was primarily driven by the Company's organic loan growth of $75 million in originated loans. For the fourth quarter of 2011, the provision for noncovered loans was $4.75 million.

The allowance for noncovered loan losses to period end loans was 2.20% at March 31, 2012 compared to 2.26% at December 31, 2011 and 2.94% at March 31, 2011.

First Quarter 2012 Operating Results

Quarter ended March 31, 2012
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2012 was $67.1 million, an increase of 33% from $50.4 million for the same quarter in 2011, primarily due to organic loan growth and the impact of our FDIC-assisted transactions.

Average interest-earning assets were $4.14 billion during the first quarter, an increase of 14% compared with $3.63 billion during the same quarter of 2011. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased to 6.93% during the first quarter compared with 6.26% in the same quarter of 2011.  During the same period, average interest-bearing liabilities increased to $2.82 billion from $2.60 billion.
 
Noninterest Income (Loss)
Total noninterest income was $9.6 million for the first quarter of 2012, compared to a loss of $5.4 million a year earlier. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was primarily due to the change in the FDIC loss-sharing asset, increased merchant services revenue, and improved realization of assessable service fee income across our acquired branch network. Changes in the FDIC loss-sharing asset are primarily driven by amortization of the FDIC loss-sharing asset and provision for reimbursable losses on FDIC covered loans. For the first three months of 2012, amortization of the FDIC loss-sharing asset was $13.9 million which was offset by a $12.5 million increase in the FDIC loss-sharing asset related to the provision for covered loan losses. For the same period in 2011, $13.6 million of amortization was combined with a $338 thousand decrease of the FDIC loss sharing-asset related to a recapture of losses on covered loans.


Noninterest Expense
Total noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2012 was $44.4 million, an increase of 19% from $37.3 million for the same quarter in 2011. The increase was attributable to the additional operating expenses of the three FDIC-assisted bank acquisitions completed since May 2011. The most significant increases were in compensation and employee benefits, occupancy, and other noninterest expense. Compensation and employee benefits increased $3.1 million, primarily due to an increase in the number of

8



employees related to our acquisitions as compared to the same period in 2011. Occupancy expense increased $936 thousand primarily as a result of the addition of 17 branch locations acquired. Other noninterest expense increased $1.9 million, substantially due to $2.2 million in write-downs of OPPO. These increases were partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in regulatory premiums due to a decrease in the assessment rate utilized in calculating premiums due.
    
Strategic Focus
Ms. Dressel commented, “The Bank of Whitman integration was completed during the first quarter; all of our acquisitions are now fully integrated, both technically and culturally. Ms. Dressel continued, “Going forward in 2012, we will be externally focused on business development efforts to increase our market share, continuing to improve the credit metrics in our loan portfolio and improving the efficiency ratio of the Company, which includes growing into our new footprint.”

These forward looking statements describe Columbia's management's expectations regarding future events and developments such as future operating results, growth in loans and deposits, continued success of Columbia's style of banking and the strength of the local economy. The words “will,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “should,” and “anticipate” and words of similar construction are intended in part to help identify forward looking statements. Future events are difficult to predict, and the expectations described above are necessarily subject to risk and uncertainty that may cause actual results to differ materially and adversely.

We believe the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, based on information available to us on the date hereof. However, given the described uncertainties and risks, we cannot guarantee our future performance or results of operations and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
