OLYMPIA, Wash., Oct. 20, 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 $21.0 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $18.6 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $20.6 million for the third quarter of 2021. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2022 were $0.59 compared to $0.52 for the second quarter of 2022 and $0.58 for the third quarter of 2021.

Jeffrey J. Deuel, President and Chief Executive Officer of Heritage, commented, "Results for the third quarter showcase the strengths of our business model which includes a strong balance sheet, prudent risk management and a foundation of stable core deposits. Compared to second quarter of 2022, our net interest income grew 18.5% and net interest margin expanded by 53 basis points as we benefit from higher interest rates on growing earning assets, while our cost of total deposits was unchanged at 0.09%.

Despite a challenging operating environment, we continue to see attractive growth as reflected in the $206.7 million in loans funded and the banking teams we hired in Portland MSA and Eugene markets during the second quarter. We believe Heritage is well positioned to continue to take advantage of opportunities and navigate the economic environment in future periods.

We are proud that Heritage Bank is partnering with Low Income Housing Institute ("LIHI") in constructing 85 new affordable units in Seattle's Central District, to be known as Good Shepherd Housing, as it is being built in partnership with the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd. Heritage is providing $17.9 million of construction financing and $19.9 million of low income housing tax credit equity investment. LIHI focuses on permanent supportive housing and services for formerly homeless households and this project will continue to support this mission."

Total investment securities increased $326.2 million, or 18.1%, to $2.13 billion at September 30, 2022 from $1.80 billion at June 30, 2022 due primarily to purchases to deploy excess liquidity into higher yielding, longer duration assets. Purchases were partially offset by a $55.2 million decrease in the fair value of investment securities available for sale as a result of an increase in market interest rates during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Loans receivable grew $127.2 million, or 3.3% (13.0% annualized), in the third quarter of 2022. New loans funded during the third and second quarter of 2022 were $206.7 million and $242.4 million, respectively, including purchased residential real estate loans of $29.0 million and $27.3 million, respectively. Line of credit utilization increased during the third quarter and loan repayments were lower at $71.6 million during the third quarter of 2022 compared to $136.5 million in the second quarter of 2022, exclusive of SBA PPP loan repayments, net deferred fees, and net acquired discounts.

The following table summarizes the Company's total deposits at the dates indicated:

	Balance	% of Total	Balance	% of Total	Amount	%
	(Dollars in thousands)

Total deposits	$ 6,237,735	100.0 %	$ 6,330,190	100.0 %	$ (92,455)	(1.5) %

Total deposits decreased $92.5 million, or 1.5%, from June 30, 2022. The decrease was due primarily to competitive pricing pressures and customers moving excess funds to alternative higher yielding investments.

Total stockholders' equity decreased $28.7 million during the third quarter of 2022 due to an increased loss in AOCI of $43.2 million following an increase in market interest rates during the quarter, which negatively impacted the fair value of our investment securities available for sale portfolio at September 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:

	September 30, 2022	June 30, 2022	Change
Stockholders' equity to total assets	10.8 %	11.0 %	(0.2) %

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 provision for (reversal of) credit losses for the periods indicated:

	As of or for the Quarter Ended
	September 30, 2022			June 30, 2022			September 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	$ 39,696	$ 997	$ 40,693	$ 40,333	$ 1,552	$ 41,885	$ 51,562	$ 2,451	$ 54,013
Provision for (reversal of) credit losses	1,919	26	1,945	(649)	(555)	(1,204)	(2,852)	(297)	(3,149)
Net recoveries (charge-offs)	474	—	474	12	—	12	(393)	—	(393)
Balance, end of period	$ 42,089	$ 1,023	$ 43,112	$ 39,696	$ 997	$ 40,693	$ 48,317	$ 2,154	$ 50,471

The ACL on loans increased compared to June 30, 2022 due primarily to an increase related to the growth in loans receivable offset partially by a reduction related to loans individually evaluated for losses.

Credit Quality

Nonperforming assets decreased to 0.09% of total assets at September 30, 2022 compared to 0.14% of total assets at June 30, 2022. Nonperforming assets at both September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022 consisted only of nonaccrual loans. Changes in nonaccrual loans during the periods indicated were as follows:

	Quarter Ended
	September 30, 2022	June 30, 2022	September 30, 2021
	(In thousands)
Balance, beginning of period	$ 10,475	$ 16,527	$ 35,341
Additions	—	720	293
Net principal payments and transfers to accruing status	(4,016)	(5,964)	(8,139)
Payoffs	(225)	(691)	(911)
Charge-offs	—	(117)	(690)
Balance, end of period	$ 6,234	$ 10,475	$ 25,894

Nonaccrual loans declined during the third quarter of 2022 due primarily to the transfer of one owner occupied CRE loan relationship totaling $3.4 million back to accrual status.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income increased $9.2 million, or 18.5%, compared to the second quarter of 2022 and increased $7.9 million, or 15.4%, compared to the third quarter of 2021 due primarily to an increase in yields earned on interest earning assets following increases in market interest rates. The yield on interest earning assets increased to 3.68% as compared to 3.14% in the second quarter of 2022 and 3.25% in the third quarter of 2021. SBA PPP interest and fee income decreased $1.5 million compared to the second quarter of 2022 and decreased $7.8 million compared to the third quarter of 2021.

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
	September 30, 2022	June 30, 2022	September 30, 2021
Loan yield (GAAP)	4.51 %	4.30 %	4.64 %
Exclude impact from SBA PPP loans	(0.02)	(0.15)	(0.38)
Exclude impact from incremental accretion on purchased loans	(0.05)	(0.03)	(0.07)
Loan yield, excluding SBA PPP loans and incremental accretion on purchased loans (non-GAAP) ⁽¹⁾	4.44 %	4.12 %	4.19 %


⁽¹⁾	See Non-GAAP Financial Measures section.

Net interest margin increased to 3.57% for the third quarter of 2022 as compared to 3.04% for the second quarter of 2022 and 3.15% for the third quarter of 2021 due to a shift into higher yielding interest earning assets as well as higher average yields on all interest earning assets excluding the impact from SBA PPP loans.

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
	September 30, 2022	June 30, 2022	September 30, 2021	Change	% Change	Change	% Change
	(Dollar amounts in thousands)

Total noninterest income	$ 7,453	$ 7,016	$ 8,228	$ 437	6.2 %	$ (775)	(9.4) %

Noninterest income increased from the second quarter of 2022 due mostly to gain on sale of branches held for sale as well as increased card revenue.

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 a higher gain on sale of branches held for sale recognized during the third 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

Federal deposit insurance premium	500	425	550	75	17.6	(50)	(9.1)
Amortization of intangible assets	671	704	758	(33)	(4.7)	(87)	(11.5)
Other expense	3,203	2,704	3,160	499	18.5	43	1.4
Total noninterest expense	$ 39,147	$ 35,707	$ 37,166	$ 3,440	9.6 %	$ 1,981	5.3 %

Noninterest expense increased from the second quarter of 2022 and the same period in 2021 due primarily to an increase in compensation and employee benefits due to an increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees including the addition of commercial and relationship banking teams in the second quarter of 2022, an increase in salaries and wages effective July 1, 2022 due to upward market pressure and an increase in accrual for incentive compensation.

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
	September 30, 2022	June 30, 2022	September 30, 2021	Change	% Change	Change	% Change
	(Dollar amounts in thousands)
Income before income taxes	$ 25,647	$ 22,561	$ 25,589	$ 3,086	13.7 %	$ 58	0.2 %
Income tax expense	$ 4,657	$ 3,977	$ 4,997	$ 680	17.1 %	$ (340)	(6.8) %
Effective income tax rate	18.2 %	17.6 %	19.5 %	0.6 %	3.4 %	(1.3) %	(6.7) %

Income tax expense increased compared to the second quarter of 2022 due primarily to a higher effective income tax rate during the third 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 due to a lower effective tax rate due to higher estimated pre-tax income for the year ended 2021, 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.

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.
