OLYMPIA, Wash, July 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Heritage Financial Corporation (NASDAQ GS: HFWA) (the "Company" or "Heritage"), the parent company of Heritage Bank (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $18.6 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $19.8 million for the first quarter of 2022 and $32.7 million for the second quarter of 2021. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2022 were $0.52 compared to $0.56 for the first quarter of 2022 and $0.90 for the second quarter of 2021.

Jeffrey J. Deuel, President and Chief Executive Officer of Heritage, commented, "We are pleased with the positive progress we are seeing in loan growth as well as the continuing improvement in the underlying credit quality of our loan portfolio. We are beginning to see the benefits of our asset sensitivity and core deposit base in the current rate environment, which is noticeable in our increased net interest margin this quarter.

We are also excited about the new teams we hired to expand our production capabilities in the Portland-Vancouver MSA and Eugene, Oregon. These are attractive markets for us to grow loans and deposits, and the teams of bankers are a natural fit with the Heritage culture.

During the second quarter, we closed on the financing of Northwest Housing Alternatives' (a leading Oregon-wide affordable housing provider headquartered in the Portland Metro area) 42-unit Trillium House Project in Warrenton, Oregon, a coastal community which is underserved in affordable housing. The construction loan was $11.6 million and the structure included our first Agricultural Worker Housing Tax Credit investment in addition to a Low Income Housing Tax Credit investment. We are pleased with the success of our efforts to positively impact housing in the markets we serve."

Loan repayments were $136.5 million during the second quarter of 2022 compared to $140.0 million in the first quarter of 2022, exclusive of SBA PPP loan repayments, net deferred fees, and net acquired discounts.

Total deposits decreased $161.3 million, or 2.5%, from March 31, 2022. The following table summarizes the Company's total deposits at the dates indicated:

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased $0.5 million, or 19,531 shares of its common stock at a weighted average price per share of $24.63, as compared to the repurchase of $2.0 million, or 80,559 shares of its common stock, at a weighted average price per share of $25.17, during the first quarter of 2022. As of June 30, 2022, there were 638,214 shares available for repurchase under the current repurchase plan.

Total stockholders' equity decreased $16.1 million during the second quarter of 2022 due primarily to a decrease in AOCI of $27.6 million following an increase in market interest rates during the quarter, which negatively impacted the fair value of our investment securities available for sale at June 30, 2022. AOCI has no effect on our regulatory capital ratios as the Company opted to exclude it from our common equity tier 1 capital calculations.

The Company and Bank continue to maintain capital levels in excess of the applicable regulatory requirements for them both to be categorized as "well-capitalized". The following table summarizes capital ratios for the Company at the dates indicated:

	June 30, 2022	March 31, 2022	Change

Allowance for Credit Losses and Provision for Credit Losses

The following table provides detail on the changes in the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") on loans and the ACL on unfunded commitments ("Unfunded") and the related reversal of provision for credit losses for the periods indicated:

	As of or for the Quarter Ended
	June 30, 2022			March 31, 2022			June 30, 2021
	ACL on Loans	ACL on Unfunded	Total	ACL on Loans	ACL on Unfunded	Total	ACL on Loans	ACL on Unfunded	Total
	(Dollars in thousands)
Balance, beginning of period	$ 40,333	$ 1,552	$ 41,885	$ 42,361	$ 2,607	$ 44,968	$ 64,225	$ 3,617	$ 67,842
Reversal of provision for credit losses	(649)	(555)	(1,204)	(2,522)	(1,055)	(3,577)	(12,821)	(1,166)	(13,987)

Balance, end of period	$ 39,696	$ 997	$ 40,693	$ 40,333	$ 1,552	$ 41,885	$ 51,562	$ 2,451	$ 54,013

The ACL on loans decreased compared to March 31, 2022 due primarily to a reduction of loans individually evaluated for losses and their related ACL. The ACL on Unfunded decreased due primarily to higher utilization rates on commercial and industrial lines of credit.

Credit Quality

Nonperforming assets decreased to 0.14% of total assets at June 30, 2022 compared to 0.22% of total assets at March 31, 2022. Nonperforming assets at both June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022 consisted only of nonaccrual loans. Changes in nonaccrual loans during the periods indicated were as follows:

	Quarter Ended
	June 30, 2022	March 31, 2022	June 30, 2021
	(In thousands)
Balance, beginning of period	$ 16,527	$ 23,754	$ 52,868
Additions	720	—	401
Net principal payments and transfers to accruing status	(5,964)	(3,804)	(2,093)
Payoffs	(691)	(3,369)	(15,835)
Charge-offs	(117)	(54)	—
Balance, end of period	$ 10,475	$ 16,527	$ 35,341

Nonaccrual loans declined during the second quarter of 2022 due primarily to the transfer of two CRE loan relationships totaling $4.9 million back to accrual status.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income increased $3.1 million, or 6.6%, compared to the first quarter of 2022 due primarily to increases in yields earned on investment securities and interest earning deposits following increases in market interest rates. The increase in yields was offset partially by a decrease in deferred SBA PPP loan fees recognized due to a decrease in the volume of forgiven SBA PPP loans.

Net interest income decreased $4.2 million, or 7.8%, compared to the second quarter of 2021 due primarily to the decrease in deferred SBA PPP loan fees recognized, offset partially by a higher average balance of taxable investment securities and higher yield earned on interest earning deposits.

The following table presents the loan yield and the impact of SBA PPP loans and the incremental accretion on purchased loans on this financial measure for the periods presented below:

	Quarter Ended
	June 30, 2022	March 31, 2022	June 30, 2021
Loan yield (GAAP)	4.30 %	4.41 %	4.62 %
Exclude impact from SBA PPP loans	(0.15)	(0.21)	(0.13)
Exclude impact from incremental accretion on purchased loans	(0.03)	(0.06)	(0.04)
Loan yield, excluding SBA PPP loans and incremental accretion on purchased loans (non-GAAP) ⁽¹⁾	4.12 %	4.14 %	4.45 %


⁽¹⁾	See Non-GAAP Financial Measures section.

The impact to loan yield from recoveries of interest and fees on loans classified as nonaccrual was one basis point during the second quarter of 2022 compared to 11 basis points during the first quarter of 2022 and 18 basis points during the second quarter of 2021.

Net interest margin increased to 3.04% for the second quarter of 2022 as compared to 2.84% for the first quarter of 2022 due primarily to a shift into higher yielding interest earning assets with a lower ratio of lower yielding interest earning deposits to total interest earning assets and secondarily due to higher yields on interest earning assets.

Net interest margin decreased from 3.44% for the second quarter of 2021 due primarily to the change in the mix of total interest earning assets into a higher proportion of lower yielding investment securities and interest earning deposits, resulting mostly from a significant decrease in SBA PPP loan balances.

Noninterest Income

The following table presents the key components of noninterest income and the change for the periods indicated:

	Quarter Ended			Quarter Over Quarter Change		Prior Year Quarter Change
	June 30, 2022	March 31, 2022	June 30, 2021	Change	% Change	Change	% Change

Bank owned life insurance income	764	1,695	717	(931)	(54.9)	47	6.6
Gain on sale of other assets, net	—	204	724	(204)	(100.0)	(724)	(100.0)
Other income	1,284	1,382	1,239	(98)	(7.1)	45	3.6
Total noninterest income	$ 7,016	$ 8,538	$ 8,297	$ (1,522)	(17.8) %	$ (1,281)	(15.4) %

Noninterest income decreased from the first quarter of 2022 due primarily to the recognition of a bank owned life insurance death benefit income of $1.0 million in the prior quarter.

Noninterest income decreased from the same period in 2021 due primarily to reduced gain on sale of loans, net as sales volume of secondary market mortgage loans declined and secondarily due to gain on sale of branches held for sale recognized during the second quarter of 2021.

Noninterest Expense

The following table presents the key components of noninterest expense and the change for the periods indicated:

	Quarter Ended			Quarter Over Quarter Change		Prior Year Quarter Change
	June 30, 2022	March 31, 2022	June 30, 2021	Change	% Change	Change	% Change
	(Dollar amounts in thousands)

Professional services	529	699	1,037	(170)	(24.3)	(508)	(49.0)
State/municipal business and use tax	867	796	991	71	8.9	(124)	(12.5)
Federal deposit insurance premium	425	600	339	(175)	(29.2)	86	25.4
Amortization of intangible assets	704	704	797	—	—	(93)	(11.7)
Other expense	2,704	3,011	2,773	(307)	(10.2)	(69)	(2.5)
Total noninterest expense	$ 35,707	$ 35,720	$ 36,396	$ (13)	— %	$ (689)	(1.9) %

Noninterest expense decreased slightly from the first quarter of 2022 due primarily to a reduction in several expense categories, offset partially by an increase in compensation and employee benefits related to the addition of commercial and relationship banking teams.

Noninterest expense decreased from the same period in 2021 due primarily to third-party expenses related to PPP loan forgiveness and higher legal costs related to loan collection efforts included in professional services expense for the second quarter of 2021.

Income Tax Expense

The following table presents the income tax expense and related metrics and the change for the periods indicated:

	Quarter Ended			Quarter Over Quarter Change		Prior Year Quarter Change
	June 30, 2022	March 31, 2022	June 30, 2021	Change	% Change	Change	% Change

	(Dollar amounts in thousands)
Income before income taxes	$ 22,561	$ 23,339	$ 40,153	$ (778)	(3.3) %	$ (17,592)	(43.8) %
Income tax expense	$ 3,977	$ 3,582	$ 7,451	$ 395	11.0 %	$ (3,474)	(46.6) %
Effective income tax rate	17.6 %	15.3 %	18.6 %	2.3 %	15.0 %	(1.0) %	(5.4) %

Income tax expense increased compared to the first quarter of 2022 due primarily to a higher effective income tax rate during the second quarter of 2022 following an increase in estimated annual pre-tax income for the year ended 2022, which decreased the impact of favorable permanent tax items such as tax-exempt investments, investments in bank owned life insurance and low-income housing tax credits.

Income tax expense decreased compared to the same period in 2021 primarily reflecting the change in income before income taxes earned between the periods.

HERITAGE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (Unaudited)
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

This earnings release contains certain financial measures not presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") in addition to financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company has presented these non-GAAP financial measures in this earnings release because it believes that they provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in the Company's capital, performance and asset quality reflected in the current quarter and comparable period results and to facilitate comparison of its performance with the performance of its peers. These non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures are presented below.

The Company considers the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio and tangible book value per share to be useful measurements of the adequacy of the Company's capital levels. Additionally, recent changes in market interest rates introduced significant volatility in the unrealized gain or loss of investment securities available for sale ("UGL") and the related AOCI. Management excluded UGL and AOCI from tangible assets and tangible common equity, respectively, to improve comparability of capital levels as UGL and AOCI are excluded from the calculation of regulatory capital ratios.

The Company considers presenting the ratio of ACL on loans to loans receivable, excluding SBA PPP loans, to be a useful measurement in evaluating the adequacy of the Company's ACL on loans as the balance of SBA PPP loans was significant to the loan portfolio; however, since SBA PPP loans are guaranteed by the SBA, the Company has not provided an ACL on loans for these loans.

The Company considers the return on average tangible common equity ratio to be a useful measurement of the Company's 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 Company's ongoing business operations can be evaluated.

The Company believes that presenting pre-tax pre-provision income, which reflects its profitability before income taxes and provision for credit losses, and the pre-tax, pre-provision return on average assets, are useful measurements in assessing its operating income and expenses by removing the volatility that may be associated with credit loss provisions. The Company also believes that during a crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic, this information is useful as the impact of the pandemic on credit loss provisions of various institutions has varied based on the geography of the communities served by a particular institution and the decision to adopt or defer the current expected credit losses ("CECL") methodology required by Accounting Standards Update 2016-13.

The Company believes presenting loan yield excluding the effect of discount accretion on purchased loans is useful in assessing the impact of acquisition accounting on loan yield as the effect of loan discount accretion is expected to decrease as the acquired loans mature or roll off its balance sheet. Incremental accretion on purchased loans represents the amount of interest income recorded on purchased loans in excess of the contractual stated interest rate in the individual loan notes due to incremental accretion of purchased discount or premium. Purchased discount or premium is the difference between the contractual loan balance and the fair value of acquired loans at the acquisition date, or as modified by the adoption of CECL. The purchased discount is accreted into income over the remaining life of the loan. The impact of incremental accretion on loan yield will change during any period based on the volume of prepayments, but it is expected to decrease over time as the balance of the purchased loans decreases.

Similarly, presenting loan yield excluding the effect of SBA PPP loans is useful in assessing the impact of these special program loans that have substantially decreased within a short time frame.
