Timberland Bancorp Announces Third Fiscal Quarter Earnings

•	Net Income of $6.21 Million and EPS of $0.74

•	PPP Loan Originations of $123 million

•	Return on Average Assets of 1.70%

•	Return on Average Equity of 13.83%

•	Announces $0.20 Quarterly Cash Dividend

HOQUIAM, WA – July 28, 2020 – Timberland Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSBK) (“Timberland” or “the Company”) today reported net income of $6.21 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared to $5.05 million for the preceding quarter and $5.96 million for the comparable quarter one year ago.  Earnings per diluted common share (“EPS”) were $0.74 for the current quarter compared to $0.60 for the preceding quarter and $0.70 for the comparable quarter one year ago.  Net income for the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 was reduced by provisions to the loan loss reserve of $1.00 million and $2.00 million, respectively, due to economic uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2020, Timberland earned $17.91 million, or $2.12 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $17.69 million, or $2.09 per diluted common share, for the first nine months of fiscal 2019.

Timberland’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of $0.20 per common share payable on August 28, 2020, to shareholders of record August 14, 2020.

“Timberland generated strong fiscal third quarter financial results in the midst of a decidedly unsettled economic environment,” commented Michael Sand, President and CEO.  “Uncharacteristically, deposits grew nearly $193 million during the quarter and Timberland’s active involvement in the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) elevated the quarter’s loan originations to a record $250 million.  Increased deposit inflows combined with yet unspent PPP loan proceeds temporarily persisting in our deposit base created excess liquidity precisely at a time when attractive, short term, investment alternatives were, and remain, particularly scarce.  As a result, we will take a measured approach to investing a significant portion of this excess liquidity until the durability of these deposits and the direction of the economy become more certain.”

“We remain committed to assisting our borrowers who have been affected by COVID related declines in business revenues,” Sand continued.  “We have offered assistance with payment deferrals and interest-only payment options since late March and have provided loan accommodations on 184 loans to commercial customers with balances totaling $128.7 million.  Our standard accommodation is a 90-day deferral with payments fully deferred or with interest scheduled for payment monthly.  Of these 184 loans, 137 were scheduled to resume payments on, or before, July 1, 2020.  As of July 23^rd, payments were made on 127 (or 93%) of these 137 loans, including five that were paid in full.  We have 47 loans scheduled for payment resumption during the next two months.  The COVID related deferrals of consumer and residential mortgage loans have been modest by number with 25 loans totaling $7.1 million being placed temporarily in deferral status.  We will continue to monitor our loan portfolio diligently in light of the significant impact the Coronavirus could have on borrowers in the months to come.”

“A major concern of ours remains the health and safety of our customers and employees,” said Sand.  “We implemented several new COVID-19 protocols to assist and protect our employees and customers. We have taken a patient approach to reopening branches following the termination of the State of Washington’s Stay Home, Stay Healthy order, which was lifted May 31, 2020.  Near normal branch operations have resumed in our Grays Harbor and Lewis county branches, while lobby access is by appointment only in our Thurston, Pierce, King and Kitsap county branches.  We continue to provide drive-up services, ATM machines, mobile banking and call center operations with every effort being made to maintain the high level of service our customers are accustomed to receiving.”

   Balance Sheet Highlights:

•	Total deposits increased 23% year-over-year and 17% from the prior quarter;

•	Net loans receivable increased 16% year-over-year and 12% from the prior quarter; and

•	Book and tangible book (non-GAAP) values per common share increased to $22.00 and $19.97, respectively, at June 30, 2020.

Operating revenue (net interest income before the provision for loan losses, plus non-interest income excluding recoveries on investment securities, gains on sale of investment securities and BOLI death benefit claims) increased 6% to $17.33 million from $16.37 million for the comparable quarter one year ago and increased 5% from $16.56 million for the preceding quarter.  Operating revenue increased 7% to $50.72 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 from $47.61 million for the comparable period one year ago.

Net interest income decreased 3% to $12.48 million for the current quarter from $12.88 million from the preceding quarter and decreased 4% from $12.94 million for the comparable quarter one year ago.  Timberland’s net interest margin (“NIM”) for the current quarter was 3.63% compared to 4.27% for the preceding quarter and 4.49% for the comparable quarter one year ago.  The NIM for the current quarter was increased by approximately ten basis points due to the accretion of $170,000 of the fair value discount on loans acquired in the South Sound Acquisition and the collection of $177,000 in pre-payment penalties, non-accrual interest, and late fees.  The NIM for the preceding quarter was increased by approximately 15 basis points due to the accretion of $107,000 of the fair value discount on loans acquired in the South Sound Acquisition and the collection of $320,000 in pre-payment penalties, non-accrual interest and late fees.  The NIM for the comparable quarter one year ago was increased by approximately six basis points due to the accretion of $69,000 of the fair value discount on loans acquired in the South Sound Acquisition and the collection of $88,000 of non-accrual interest.

The NIM compression during the current quarter was primarily due to decreased market interest rates, increased levels of liquidity and PPP loans.  In March 2020, the Federal Reserve reduced the targeted federal funds interest rate by 150 basis points in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.  Timberland’s liquid funds also increased during the quarter as average interest- earning deposits in banks and CDs increased by $74.22 million, or 36%, to $278.16 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 from $203.94 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.  Timberland also originated $122.58 million in PPP loans during the current quarter at the Program’s prescribed 1.00% interest rate.  PPP loans are subject to loan origination fees which are accreted into interest income over the life of each loan.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, Timberland recorded $240,000 in interest income on PPP loans and accreted $443,000 in PPP loan origination fees into income.  At June 30, 2020, Timberland had $4.02 million in PPP deferred loan origination fees remaining, which will be accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the loans.

A $1.00 million provision for loan losses was made during the current quarter compared to a $2.00 million provision for loan losses for the preceding quarter and no provision for loan losses for the comparable quarter one year ago.  The current quarter’s provision was due to continued economic uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.  As a result of the $1.00 million provision, Timberland’s allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) increased 8% to $12.89 million at June 30, 2020 from $11.89 million at March 31, 2020.

Non-interest income increased 37% to $4.86 million for the current quarter from $3.54 million for the comparable quarter one year ago and increased 32% from $3.68 million for the preceding quarter.  The increase in non-interest income compared to the preceding quarter was primarily due to a $1.40 million increase in gain on sale of loans and smaller increases in several other categories.  These increases were partially offset by a $220,000 decrease in service charges on deposits and smaller decreases in several other categories.  The increase in gain on sale of loans was primarily due to an increase in the dollar amount of fixed rate one- to four-family loans sold during the current quarter and an increase in the pricing margin.  The increased mortgage banking volumes were largely due to increased refinance activity for single family homes due to lower mortgage interest rates.  The decrease in service charges on deposits was primarily due to a decrease in overdraft fee income.  Also impacting the non-interest income total for current quarter was a $200,000 recovery on a previously charged-off receivable acquired in the South Sound Acquisition.  This recovery is recorded in the “Other” non-interest income category for the current quarter.  Fiscal year-to-date non-interest income increased 16% to $12.47 million from $10.74 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2019.  The fiscal year-to-date increase was primarily due to increased gain on sale of loans, which was partially offset by decreased BOLI income (as a result of a BOLI death benefit claim in the prior fiscal year).

Total operating expenses for the current quarter decreased 3% to $8.66 million from $8.97 million for the comparable quarter one year ago and increased 5% from $8.29 million for the preceding quarter.  The increase in operating expenses compared to the preceding quarter was primarily due to a $143,000 increase in FDIC insurance expense, a $134,000 increase in premises and equipment expense, and smaller increases in several other categories.  The increase in FDIC insurance expense was primarily a result of the Company’s FDIC insurance credit being fully expended in prior quarters.  The increase in premises and equipment expense was primarily due to expenses associated with the relocation of Company’s Data Center and other COVID-19 pandemic related expenses.  The efficiency ratio for the current quarter improved to 49.96% from 54.43% for the comparable quarter one year ago and 50.04% for the preceding quarter.  Fiscal year-to-date operating expenses decreased 6% to $25.32 million from $26.81 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2019.  The fiscal year-to-date decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to a $965,000 decrease in data processing and telecommunication expense and smaller decreases in several other categories.  Data processing and telecommunication expense was higher in the prior fiscal year primarily due to expenses associated with the Company’s core operating system conversions.  The efficiency ratio for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 improved to 49.81% from 54.98% for the first nine months of fiscal 2019.

The provision for income taxes for the current quarter increased $238,000 to $1.46 million from $1.23 million for the preceding quarter, primarily due to higher income before income taxes.  Timberland’s effective income tax rate was 19.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, compared to 19.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.  The fiscal year-to-date provision for income taxes increased $142,000 to $4.40 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 from $4.26 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2019.  Timberland’s effective income tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 was 19.7% compared to 19.4% for the nine months ended June 30, 2019.

Total assets increased $274.33 million, or 22%, to $1.52 billion at June 30, 2020 from $1.25 billion one year ago and increased $198.54 million, or 15%, from $1.32 billion at March 31, 2020.  The quarterly increase in asset size was primarily due to increases in net loans receivable and total cash and cash equivalents.  The increase in total assets was funded primarily by an increase in total deposits.

Loans

Net loans receivable increased $138.78 million, or 16%, to $1.01 billion at June 30, 2020 from $873.98 million one year ago and increased $105.10 million, or 12%, from $907.66 million at March 31, 2020.  The increase during the current quarter was primarily due to $122.58 million in PPP loans that were added to the portfolio, an $11.18 million increase in commercial real

The following table highlights eight commercial real estate (“CRE”) segments generally presumed to have the potential to be more adversely affected by work at home and COVID related social distancing practices than other segments of the loan portfolio.

CRE Portfolio Breakdown by Collateral

($ in thousands)

Within Timberland’s commercial business loan portfolio (non-CRE) resides a segment of restaurant loans totaling $19.35 million in outstanding balances at June 30, 2020.  As additional security for these loans, Timberland holds cash collateral of 25% of the segment’s associated outstanding loan balances.  Unless prior arrangements are made, and Timberland consents, loans falling more than four weeks delinquent are eligible for purchase from Timberland’s portfolio in accordance with a Marketing and Servicing Agreement in existence since March 6, 2014.  As an accommodation, Timberland has agreed to temporarily extend the purchase requirement to 12 weeks before a purchase is required from the portfolio.  An additional fourteen commercial business loans with aggregate balances of $2.73 million support restaurants and coffee stand operations and eight of these loans, with balances totaling $2.38 million, are associated with U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) guarantees.

Timberland originated $250.01 million in loans during the quarter ended June 30, 2020, compared to $83.30 million for the comparable quarter one year ago and $100.47 million for the preceding quarter.  The increase in loan production for the current quarter was primarily due to PPP loan originations ($122.58 million) and an increase in the origination of loans to refinance one-to four-family residential properties.  Timberland continues to sell fixed-rate one- to four-family mortgage loans into the secondary market for asset-liability management purposes and to generate non-interest income.  Timberland also periodically sells the guaranteed portion of SBA loans.  During the current quarter, fixed-rate one- to four-family mortgage loans and SBA loans totaling $52.08 million were sold compared to $19.91 million for the comparable quarter one year ago and $27.49 million for the preceding quarter.  The increase in loan sales during the current quarter was primarily a result of increased refinance activity for one- to four-family loans due to the decrease in mortgage interest rates.

Timberland’s investment securities and CDs held for investment decreased $16.01 million, or 10%, to $145.57 million at June 30, 2020, from $161.58 million at March 31, 2020.  The decrease was primarily due to CDs and investment securities that matured during the quarter.

Timberland’s liquidity continues to remain strong.  Liquidity, as measured by the sum of cash and cash equivalents, CDs held for investment, and available for sale investment securities, was 28.9% of total liabilities at June 30, 2020, compared to 25.6% at March 31, 2020, and 23.6% one year ago.

Deposits

Total deposits increased $192.89 million, or 17%, during the current quarter to $1.32 billion at June 30, 2020, from $1.13 billion at March 31, 2020.  The quarterly increase consisted of a $110.77 million increase in non-interest-bearing demand account balances, a $44.83 million increase in NOW checking account balances, a $30.32 million increase in savings account balances, and a $16.24 million increase in money market account balances. These increases were partially offset by a $9.28 million decrease in certificates of deposit account balances.  The increase in deposits during the current quarter was primarily due to inflows from PPP loans and government stimulus checks, in addition to organic growth in customer relationships.

FHLB Borrowings

Timberland borrowed $10.00 million from the FHLB for asset-liability purposes in March 2020 as long-term borrowing rates dropped to historic lows.  The borrowings are comprised of a $5.00 million five-year borrowing and a $5.00 million seven-year borrowing.  The weighted average interest rate on these borrowings is 1.15%.

Shareholders’ Equity and Capital Ratios

Total shareholders’ equity increased $4.80 million to $182.81 million at June 30, 2020, from $178.01 million at March 31, 2020.  The increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily due to net income of $6.21 million for the quarter, which was partially offset by the payment of $1.66 million in dividends to shareholders.  There were no shares repurchased during the quarter as Timberland temporarily suspended its existing stock repurchase plan on March 16, 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Timberland remains well capitalized with a total risk-based capital ratio of 20.65% and a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 11.55% at June 30, 2020.

Timberland’s non-performing assets to total assets ratio improved to 0.31% at June 30, 2020 from 0.43% one year ago and 0.38% at March 31, 2020.  There were net recoveries of $4,000 for the current quarter compared to net recoveries of $8,000 for the preceding quarter and net charge-offs of $110,000 for the comparable quarter one year ago.

A $1.00 million provision for loan losses was made during the current quarter due to continued economic uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.  On March 24, 2020, Washington State Governor Jay Inslee signed a statewide order requiring residents to stay at home unless involved in an essential activity.  All businesses, except those considered essential were also ordered to close.  As a result of the mandated shutdown, Timberland began working with loan customers on loan deferral and forbearance plans.  Through June 30, 2020, Timberland had made 90-day payment deferrals (with interest continuing to accrue or be paid monthly) for 209 loans with balances aggregating to $135.83 million.  The following table details the COVID-19 loan modifications as of June 30, 2020:

COVID-19 Loan Modifications

($ in thousands)

The ALL as a percentage of loans receivable was 1.26% at June 30, 2020 compared 1.09% one year ago and 1.29% at March 31, 2020.  Even though the total ALL increased during the current quarter, the ALL as a percentage of loans receivable decreased, primarily as a result of adding PPP loans totaling $122.58 million to the loan portfolio.  These PPP loans are 100% SBA guaranteed and, therefore, not factored into the Company’s normal ALL calculation.  The ALL to loans receivable (excluding PPP loans) at June 30, 2020 was 1.43% (non-GAAP).

The ALL as a percentage of loans receivable is also impacted by the loans acquired in the South Sound Acquisition.  Included in the recorded value of loans acquired in acquisitions are net discounts which may reduce the need for an allowance for loan losses on such loans because they are carried at an amount below their outstanding principal balance.  The initial recorded value of loans acquired in the South Sound Acquisition was $123.62 million and the related fair value discount was $2.08 million, or 1.68% of the loans acquired.  The remaining fair value discount on loans acquired in the South Sound Acquisition was $963,000 at June 30, 2020.  The allowance for loan losses to loans receivable (excluding the remaining balance of the loans acquired in the South Sound Acquisition and PPP loans) was 1.55% (non-GAAP) at June 30, 2020.

The following table details the ALL as a percentage of loans receivable:

Total delinquent loans (past due 30 days or more) and non-accrual loans increased $32,000, or 1%, to $3.55 million at June 30, 2020, from $3.52 million one year ago, and increased $120,000, or 4%, from $3.52 million at March 31, 2020.  Non-accrual loans decreased $335,000, or 10%, to $3.02 million at June 30, 2020 from $3.35 million one year ago and decreased $201,000, or 6%, from $3.22 million at March 31, 2020.

Non-Accrual Loans

OREO and other repossessed assets decreased 15% to $1.47 million at June 30, 2020, from $1.72 million at June 30, 2019, and decreased 10% from $1.62 million at March 31, 2020.  At June 30, 2020, the OREO and other repossessed asset portfolio consisted of eight individual land parcels.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, two OREO properties were sold, resulting in a $6,000 loss.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures.  Timberland believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with information useful in understanding the Company’s financial performance; however, readers of this report are urged to review these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with GAAP results as reported.

Financial measures that exclude intangible assets are non-GAAP measures.  To provide investors with a broader understanding of capital adequacy, Timberland provides non-GAAP financial measures for tangible common equity, along with the GAAP measure.  Tangible common equity is calculated as shareholders’ equity less goodwill and CDI.  In addition, tangible assets equal total assets less goodwill and CDI.

The following table provides a reconciliation of ending shareholders’ equity (GAAP) to ending tangible shareholders’ equity (non-GAAP) and ending total assets (GAAP) to ending tangible assets (non-GAAP).

Acquisition of South Sound Bank

On October 1, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of South Sound Bank, a Washington-state chartered bank, headquartered in Olympia, Washington (“South Sound Acquisition”).  The Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of South Sound Bank, and South Sound Bank was merged into Timberland Bank and the Company.  Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, South Sound Bank shareholders received 0.746 of a share of the Company’s common stock and $5.68825 in cash per share of South Sound Bank common stock.  The Company issued 904,826 shares of its common stock (valued at $28,267,000 based on the Company’s closing stock price on September 30, 2018 of $31.24 per share) and paid $6,903,000 in cash in the transaction for total consideration paid of $35,170,000.
