TACOMA, Washington, July 23, 2020 -- Clint Stein, President and Chief Executive Officer of Columbia Banking System, Inc. and Columbia Bank (NASDAQ: COLB) (“Columbia”), said today upon the release of Columbia’s second quarter 2020 earnings, “I’m proud of the accomplishments by our team of bankers during one of the most challenging quarters in our 27 year history. They came together to execute on our pandemic response plan while supporting each other through the professional and personal challenges of COVID-19.” Mr. Stein continued, “In addition, our bankers continued to support our clients and our communities through uninterrupted access to our banking services as well as our ongoing philanthropic activities.”

Balance Sheet
Total assets at June 30, 2020 were $15.92 billion, an increase of $1.88 billion from the linked quarter. Loans were $9.77 billion, up $838.6 million from March 31, 2020 as a result of loan originations of $1.26 billion partially offset by payments. Included in the loan originations for the quarter were $962.0 million of loans originated under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). Interest-earning deposits with banks were $880.2 million, an increase of $854.9 million from the linked quarter due to the surge in deposits. Debt securities available for sale were $3.69 billion at June 30, 2020, an increase of $140.7 million from $3.55 billion at March 31, 2020. Total deposits at June 30, 2020 were $13.13 billion, an increase of $2.32 billion from March 31, 2020 largely due to an increase of $1.40 billion in demand and other noninterest-bearing deposits. The deposit mix remained fairly consistent from March 31, 2020 with 51% noninterest-bearing and 49% interest-bearing. The average cost of total deposits for the quarter was 7 basis points, a decrease of 7 basis points from the first quarter of 2020. For additional information regarding this calculation, see the “Net Interest Margin” section.
Chris Merrywell, Columbia’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, stated, “Our dedicated team of bankers worked tirelessly during the quarter assisting our clients with their PPP loan applications and loan deferral requests while providing an exceptional level of customer service during these challenging times. Their efforts resulted in robust growth in our balance sheet increasing both loans and deposits while also reducing our cost of deposits by 50%.”

Income Statement
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the second quarter of 2020 was $121.9 million, a decrease of $571 thousand and $3.3 million from the linked quarter and the prior-year period, respectively. The decrease from the linked quarter was primarily due to lower interest income on loans as the lower rate environment more than offset the increase in interest income from the rise in average loan balances. Interest income from securities decreased as a result of $1.9 million of interest income and discount accretion, in the first quarter of 2020, related to the early payoff of three securities as well as lower rates in the current quarter. Partially offsetting these decreases in interest income was a favorable variance in deposit interest expense due to the lower rate environment and lower interest expense on FHLB borrowings as a result of lower average borrowing balances. Net interest income compared to the prior-year period decreased as a result of interest income on loans being down due to the lower rate environment partially offset by an increase in interest income on securities due to higher average balances. The decrease in interest income was partially offset by favorable decreases in interest expense on interest-bearing deposits and FHLB advances resulting from lower rates. For additional information regarding net interest income, see the “Net Interest Margin” section and the “Average Balances and Rates” tables.
Provision for Credit Losses
The Bank’s provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2020 was $33.5 million compared to $41.5 million for the linked quarter and $218 thousand for the comparable quarter in 2019. The provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2020 remained elevated relative to the prior year principally as a result of COVID-19 and the downturn in the national and global economies. As a result, we added $33.5 million to our allowance for credit losses. For more information, please see the “COVID-19 Update” section of this earnings release.

Andy McDonald, Columbia’s Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer, commented, “We continue to see modest downward pressure in credit quality migration in our loan portfolio, relative to the first quarter. Weaknesses in the retail and hospitality sectors were the primary cause, which is not surprising given the current pandemic environment. Loans migrating to nonaccrual status and net charge-offs during the quarter continue to be from issues with clients that arose prior to COVID-19. Currently, loan payment deferral requests have declined. To illustrate, in June, we extended loan payment deferrals on approximately $58 million in loans as compared to over $1.2 billion in loans in April. While our credit metrics remained stable in the second quarter, we recognize that many challenges associated with the current downturn may not materialize until later this year or next year due to uncertainty with respect to how the pandemic evolves, additional government stimulus, and the effectiveness of loan deferrals, among other factors.”
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income was $37.3 million for the second quarter of 2020, an increase of $16.1 million from the linked quarter and $11.6 million from the second quarter of 2019, respectively. The increases compared to the linked quarter and the same quarter in 2019 were principally due to the sale of 17,360 shares of Visa Class B restricted stock by the Bank for a gain of $3.0 million, which resulted in an observable market price. As a result, the Company wrote up its remaining 77,683 Visa Class B restricted shares to fair value resulting in a gain of $13.4 million, for a total gain of $16.4 million. Based on the existing transfer restriction and uncertainty of Visa’s litigation, the shares were previously carried at a zero-cost basis. We also recognized an $875 thousand gain on the sale of a loan that had previously been charge-off. Partially offsetting these gains were decreases in overdraft fees of $1.1 million and $1.2 million compared to the linked quarter and second quarter of 2019, respectively. The decrease in overdraft fees was due to an overall decrease in the number of transactions during this pandemic time period as well as clients generally carrying higher cash balances in their deposit accounts. In addition, the increase from the prior-year period was partially offset by a $1.1 million current period decrease in treasury management fees and a $3.0 million bank-owned life insurance benefit that was recognized during the second quarter of 2019.
4


Noninterest Expense
Total noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2020 was $80.8 million, a decrease of $3.4 million compared to the first quarter of 2020 principally due to lower compensation and benefits expense. Labor costs related to the origination of PPP loans during the quarter are treated as a contra expense and reduce compensation and benefits expense. These labor costs are capitalized and amortized as a reduction to interest income over the life of the loan. This decrease in noninterest expense was partially offset by an increase in regulatory premiums and provision for unfunded loan commitments. We utilized the remaining $283 thousand of our Small Bank Assessment Credit this quarter related to our FDIC deposit insurance premiums compared to an applied credit of $967 thousand during the first quarter of 2020. The provision for unfunded loan commitments increased by $1.8 million compared to the linked quarter.
Compared to the second quarter of 2019, noninterest expense decreased $5.9 million principally due to the deferral of loan origination costs related to the PPP loans discussed above. Legal and professional fees also declined compared to one year. Partially offsetting these decreases was the $2.6 million increase in the provision for unfunded loan commitments due to higher estimated loss rates and higher amounts of unfunded loan commitments.
The provision for unfunded loan commitments for the periods indicated are as follows:

Net Interest Margin
Columbia’s net interest margin (tax equivalent) for the second quarter of 2020 was 3.64%, a decrease of 36 basis points and 76 basis points from the linked quarter and prior-year period, respectively. The decrease in the net interest margin (tax equivalent) compared to the linked quarter and prior-year period was driven by higher average interest-earning deposits with banks at an average rate of 11 basis points as well as lower rates on the loan and securities portfolios, which were exacerbated by PPP.

Columbia’s operating net interest margin (tax equivalent)1 was 3.64% for the second quarter of 2020, which decreased 38 and 74 basis points compared to the linked quarter and the prior-year period, respectively. The decreases in the operating net interest margin for the second quarter of 2020 compared to the linked quarter and the prior-year period were due to the items noted in the preceding paragraph.

Yield2.87 %

Aaron Deer, Columbia’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, stated, “The margin compression we experienced during the quarter was largely due to excess liquidity created by record deposit inflows. Of course, historically low interest rates also contributed to the pressure and, unfortunately, the rate environment may remain a challenge for some time. We will take a measured approach in deploying our excess liquidity given uncertainty as to PPP funds utilization and depositor behavior generally in the current environment.”
Asset Quality
At June 30, 2020, nonperforming assets to total assets remained unchanged at 0.34% compared to March 31, 2020. Total nonperforming assets increased $6.3 million from the linked quarter due to a modest increase in commercial real estate and agriculture nonaccrual loans.

Organizational Update
COVID-19 Update
Columbia launched two community focused initiatives in response to the pandemic, putting more than $1 million to work in support of our local communities. The Pass It On Project is designed to provide small businesses more than $500,000 to perform services for community members whose lives have been adversely impacted by the pandemic or the economic downturn it caused. The program will support more than 350 small businesses and many more individuals in the Northwest as we continue to manage through the pandemic and economic recovery. The COVID-19 Community Relief fund put more than $500,000 in the hands of 25 non-profit organizations working to provide relief for those affected by the pandemic in the Northwest.
“Each of our community programs developed in response to the pandemic honor our deep commitment to support businesses and respond to the evolving needs in our local communities,” said David Moore Devine, Columbia’s Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing & Experience Officer. “Small businesses are the lifeblood of our communities and by helping them thrive through the Pass It On Project, we create a ripple effect of support throughout the Northwest.”
Recognition
Columbia was honored to earn recognition as the #1 bank in the Northwest region by JD Powers in the 2020 Retail Banking Satisfaction Study. The award reflects our ongoing commitment to meeting the needs of our clients with exceptional service.
Boise NeighborHub
The Bank recently announced the expansion of its new retail branch service concept to the Boise, Idaho market with the construction of a new NeighborHub, located in downtown Boise. The NeighborHub concept combines sales and support focused technology with the elevated skill set of a team of bankers with universal knowledge and expertise in handling all business and consumer needs. The location will open in the fall of 2020 and will also serve the broader community as a hub for educational seminars, local events and community functions in the evenings.
“We are excited to bring our signature NeighborHub style of banking to downtown Boise this year,” said Mr. Stein. “The new location will expand our presence in the Treasure Valley and further build upon the success of the first NeighborHub location in the Seattle market.”

(1)Nonaccrual loans have been included in the tables as loans carrying a zero yield. Amortized net deferred loan fees and net unearned discounts on acquired loans were included in the interest income calculations. The amortization of net deferred loan fees was $5.1 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The incremental accretion income on acquired loans was $1.7 million and $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
(2)Tax-exempt income is calculated on a tax equivalent basis. The tax equivalent yield adjustment to interest earned on loans was $1.2 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The tax equivalent yield adjustment to interest earned on tax exempt securities was $600 thousand and $721 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company considers its operating net interest margin (tax equivalent) and operating efficiency ratios to be useful measurements as they more closely reflect the ongoing operating performance of the Company. Despite the usefulness of the operating net interest margin (tax equivalent) and operating efficiency ratio to the Company, there are no standardized definitions for them. As a result, the Company’s calculations may not be comparable with other organizations. The Company encourages readers to consider its consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
The following tables reconcile the Company’s calculation of the operating net interest margin (tax equivalent) and operating efficiency ratio:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Continued
The Company considers its pre-tax, pre-provision income to be a useful measurement in evaluating the earnings of the Company as it provides a method to assess income. Despite the usefulness of this measure to the Company, there is not a standardized definition for it. As a result, the Company’s calculation may not always be comparable with other organizations. The Company encourages readers to consider its consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

The following table reconciles the Company’s calculation of the pre-tax, pre-provision income:

The Company considers its tangible common equity ratio and tangible book value per share ratio to be useful measurements in evaluating the capital adequacy of the Company as they provide a method to assess management’s success in utilizing our tangible capital. Despite the usefulness of these ratios to the Company, there is not a standardized definition for them. As a result, the Company’s calculation may not always be comparable with other organizations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Continued
The Company considers its ratio of allowance for credit losses to period-end loans, excluding PPP loans, to be a useful measurement in evaluating the adequacy of the amount of allowance for credit losses to loans of the Company as PPP loans are guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration and thus do not require the same amount of reserve for credit losses as do other loans. Despite the usefulness of this ratio to the Company, there is not a standardized definition for it. As a result, the Company’s calculation may not always be comparable with other organizations. The Company encourages readers to consider its consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

The Company also considers its return on average tangible common equity ratio to be a useful measurement as it evaluates the Company’s ongoing ability to generate returns for its common shareholders. By removing the impact of intangible assets and their related amortization and tax effects, the performance of the business can be evaluated, whether acquired or developed internally. Despite the usefulness of this ratio to the Company, there is not a standardized definition for it. As a result, the Company’s calculation may not always be comparable with other organizations.
