Territorial Bancorp Inc.

Announces Third Quarter 2012 Results

Honolulu, Hawaii, November 1, 2012 - Territorial Bancorp Inc. (NASDAQ: TBNK) (the “Company”), headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii, the holding company parent of Territorial Savings Bank, announced net income of $3.6 million or $0.36 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $3.0 million or $0.28 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Net income increased by $661,000 or 22.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011. The increase in earnings for the third quarter was primarily due to higher mortgage loan originations which in turn increased interest income and gain on sale of loans. The increase in earnings can also be attributed to lower interest expense on deposits and borrowings, a decrease in salaries and employee benefits costs and higher gain on sale of investment securities.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors today approved an increase in its quarterly cash dividend from $0.11 to $0.12 per share of common stock. The dividend is expected to be paid on November 29, 2012, to stockholders of record as of November 15, 2012.

Allan Kitagawa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said “Our loan portfolio continues to grow because of increasing loan originations which are being funded by an increase in our core deposits. I am also pleased to announce that based on our strong performance, we will increase our quarterly dividend from $0.11 to $0.12 per share of common stock.”

Interest Income

For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, net interest income was $12.4 million and $13.0 million, respectively. Total interest and dividend income was $14.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $15.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in net interest income is primarily due to a $1.4 million reduction in interest earned on investment securities, which was caused by an increase in principal repayments on mortgage-backed securities. The increase in repayments reduced our investment securities balance. The decrease in interest earned on securities was somewhat offset by a $389,000 increase


in interest earned on loans due to higher loan originations. There was also a $646,000 decline in interest expense primarily due to the lower interest rate environment and the payoff of securities sold under agreements to repurchase. Our net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was 3.33% compared to 3.53% for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in the net interest margin resulted from higher levels of liquidity and an increase in principal payments on higher yielding loans and mortgage-backed securities and reinvestment of these funds at lower interest rates.

Interest Expense and Provision for Loan Losses

Total interest expense decreased to $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to a $438,000 decrease in interest expense on securities sold under agreements to repurchase which occurred when the Bank paid off borrowings during the year. Interest expense on deposits also declined by $208,000 due to the lower interest rate environment. Provision for loan losses increased to $167,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from a reversal of $39,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The growth in noninterest income was primarily due to a $531,000 increase in gain on sale of loans and a $355,000 increase in gain on sale of investment securities. The increase in gain on sale of loans for 2012 was primarily due to an increase in the amount of loans sold which occurred because of higher mortgage originations during the quarter. These increases were partially offset by a $90,000 decrease in service fees on loan and deposit accounts.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense decreased to $8.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to $9.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in noninterest expense was primarily due to lower salaries and employee benefits expenses. This decrease was caused primarily by the death of a director which triggered the recognition of $696,000 of pre-tax stock benefit plan expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The Company also incurred a $123,000 loss on extinguishment of debt in the three months ended September 30, 2012 when the Bank prepaid $10.0 million of securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which had a weighted-average interest rate of 2.78%.

Assets and Equity

Total assets grew to $1.563 billion at September 30, 2012, from $1.538 billion at December 31, 2011. Cash and cash equivalents increased to $155.3 million at September 30, 2012, from $131.9 million at December 31, 2011. Investment securities held to


maturity decreased to $595.6 million as of September 30, 2012, from $653.9 million at December 31, 2011, as repayments and sales exceeded the amount of security purchases. Loans receivable grew to $746.9 million at September 30, 2012, from $688.1 million at December 31, 2011 due to an increase in residential loan production. The growth in loans receivable since December 31, 2011 was primarily funded by a $60.4 million increase in deposits. Deposits increased to $1.227 billion at September 30, 2012, from $1.166 billion at December 31, 2011. Total stockholders’ equity increased to $219.4 million at September 30, 2012, from $214.0 million at December 31, 2011. The growth in stockholders’ equity was primarily due to the Company’s earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, which was offset by the cost of shares repurchased under the Company’s stock repurchase program and dividend payments. The Company is in the middle of its third repurchase program.

Asset Quality

Total delinquent loans 90 days or more past due and not accruing was $1.9 million (7 loans) at September 30, 2012, compared to $2.3 million (9 loans) at December 31, 2011. Nonperforming assets was $4.8 million at September 30, 2012 compared to $3.3 million at December 31, 2011. The increase in nonperforming assets occurred after we classified $2.7 million of existing restructured loans as nonaccrual. However, the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets remains one of the lowest in the country. The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2012 was $1.5 million and represented 0.20% of total loans. At December 31, 2011, the allowance for loan losses was also $1.5 million and represented 0.22% of total loans.
