Timberland Bancorp’s 2023 Fiscal Year Net Income Increases to $27.12 Million

Fiscal Year EPS Increased 17% to $3.29
Quarterly EPS Increased 5% to $0.81 from $0.77 for Preceding Quarter
Quarterly Return on Average Assets of 1.45%
Quarterly Return on Average Equity of 11.52%
Quarterly Net Interest Margin of 3.85%
Announces $0.23 Quarterly Cash Dividend


HOQUIAM, WA – October 30, 2023 – Timberland Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSBK) (“Timberland” or “the Company”), the holding company for Timberland Bank (the “Bank”), today reported that net income increased 15% to $27.12 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 from $23.60 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022.  Earnings per diluted common share (“EPS”) increased 17% to $3.29 for the 2023 fiscal year from $2.82 for the 2022 fiscal year.

Timberland also announced quarterly net income of $6.64 million, or $0.81 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.  This compares to net income of $6.31 million, or $0.77 per diluted common share, for the preceding quarter and $7.05 million, or $0.85 per diluted common share, for the comparable quarter one year ago.

“For fiscal 2023, Timberland generated increases in both net income and earnings per share, which were up 15% and 17%, respectively, compared to fiscal 2022,” stated Dean Brydon, Chief Executive Officer.  “Further, net income and EPS for the current quarter increased 5% compared to the prior quarter, driven by continued growth in the loan portfolio.  As a result of the Company’s strong earnings and capital position, Timberland’s Board of Directors announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.23 per share, payable on November 27, 2023, to shareholders of record on November 13, 2023.  This represents the 44th consecutive quarter Timberland will have paid a cash dividend.”

“Credit quality metrics continue to perform well, with non-performing assets at just 9 basis points at fiscal year-end,” Brydon continued.  “Loan origination volumes remained steady and net loans receivable grew by nearly $42 million during the quarter.  Due primarily to loan portfolio growth, a $522,000 provision for loan losses was booked for the quarter.  While the possibility of continued economic headwinds and an industry-wide negative credit cycle still exist, we remain optimistic regarding the overall strength of our loan portfolio and the markets that we operate in.”

“Net interest margin remained strong at 3.85% for the quarter, just 9 basis points lower than the prior quarter’s margin and 21 basis points higher compared to the year ago quarter,” said Jonathan Fischer, President and Chief Operating Officer.  “Total deposits increased $8 million during the quarter, as we continued to see customers moving funds from Checking and Savings accounts into Certificate of Deposits to gain higher yields.  We anticipate additional margin compression going forward as funding costs continue to trend upward.  While we are fortunate to have loyal customers, we will continue to work hard to retain rate sensitive customer deposits.”

Operating Results

Operating revenue (net interest income before the provision for loan losses plus non-interest income) for the current quarter increased 1% to $19.76 million from $19.51 million for the preceding quarter and increased 3% from $19.26 million for the comparable quarter one year ago. The increase in operating revenue compared to the preceding quarter was primarily due to increased interest income from loans and overnight funds, which were partially offset by an increase in total interest expense. Operating revenue increased 16% to $79.50 million for the 2023 fiscal year from $68.46 million for the 2022 fiscal year, primarily due to increased interest income from loans, overnight funds, and investment securities, which were partially offset by an increase in total interest expense and a decrease in gain on sales of loans.  The increased interest income in these categories was primarily a result of increased short-term market interest rates and the deployment of liquidity into higher-yielding loans and investment securities.

Net interest income increased $197,000, or 1%, to $16.83 million for the current quarter from $16.63 million for the preceding quarter and increased $568,000, or 3%, from $16.26 million for the comparable quarter one year ago.  The increase in net interest income compared to the preceding quarter was primarily due to a $59.53 million increase in average interest-earning assets and an increase in the weighted average yield on total interest-earning assets to 4.94% from 4.72% from the preceding quarter.  Partially offsetting the increase in interest income was an increase in the weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 1.69% from 1.22% for the preceding quarter.  Timberland’s NIM for the current quarter compressed to 3.85% from 3.94% for the preceding quarter and expanded from 3.64% for the comparable quarter one year ago.  The NIM for the current quarter was increased by approximately two basis points due to the accretion of $11,000 of the fair value discount on loans acquired in the South Sound Acquisition and the collection of $92,000 in pre-payment penalties, non-accrual interest, and late fees.  The NIM for the preceding quarter was increased by approximately three basis points due to the accretion of $22,000 of the fair value discount on loans acquired in the South Sound Acquisition and the collection of $87,000 in pre-payment penalties, non-accrual interest and late fees.  The NIM for the comparable quarter one year ago was increased by approximately three basis points due to the accretion of $28,000 of the fair value discount on loans acquired in the South Sound Acquisition and the collection of $91,000 in pre-payment penalties, non-accrual interest and late fees.  Net interest income for the 2023

fiscal year increased $12.53 million, or 22%, to $68.36 million from $55.83 million for the 2022 fiscal year.  Timberland’s net interest margin for the 2023 fiscal year expanded to 3.95% from 3.16% for the 2022 fiscal year.

U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) PPP loans contribute to interest income through the 1.00% interest rate earned on outstanding loan balances and also through the accretion of loan origination fees into interest income over the life of each PPP loan.  At September 30, 2023, Timberland had SBA PPP deferred loan origination fees of $16,000 remaining to be accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the loans.  The following table details the interest income recognized from SBA PPP loans:

A $522,000 provision for loan losses was recorded for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to loan portfolio growth.  This compares to a $610,000 provision for loans losses for the preceding quarter and a $270,000 provision for loan losses for the comparable quarter one year ago.  The provisions for loan losses totaled $2.13 million for the 2023 fiscal year compared to provisions for loan losses of $270,000 for the 2022 fiscal year.

Non-interest income increased $49,000 or 2%, to $2.92 million for the current quarter from $2.88 million for the preceding quarter and decreased $72,000, or 2%, from $3.00 million for the comparable quarter one year ago.  The increase in non-interest income compared to the preceding quarter was primarily due to an $80,000 increase in BOLI net earnings (as a result of a death benefit claim) and a $45,000 increase in service charges on deposits and smaller increases in several other categories. These increases were partially offset by a $95,000 decrease in gain on sale of investment securities.  Non-interest income for the 2023 fiscal year decreased $1.48 million, or 12%, to $11.14 million from $12.62 million for the 2022 fiscal year, primarily due to a $1.27 million decrease in gain on sales of loans as the dollar amount of fixed-rate one-to four-family loans originated and sold decreased as demand slowed and a larger portion of single family loan originations were retained in the portfolio rather than being sold.

Total operating (non-interest) expenses for the current quarter increased slightly (less than 1%) to $10.97 million from $10.93 million for the preceding quarter and increased $813,000, or 8%, from $10.15 million for the comparable quarter one year ago.  The increase in operating expenses compared to the preceding quarter was primarily due to a $56,000 increase in advertising expense and smaller increases in several other expense categories.  These increases were partially offset by a $104,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits (primarily due to fewer employees) and smaller decreases in several other expense categories.  The efficiency ratio for the current quarter was 55.52% compared to 56.01% for the preceding quarter and 52.72% for the comparable quarter one year ago.

For the 2023 fiscal year, total operating expenses increased 12% to $43.37 million from $38.63 million for the 2022 fiscal year.  The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to a $2.75 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, an $826,000 increase in data processing and telecommunications expense, and smaller increases in several other expense categories.  The increase in salaries and benefits was primarily due to wage inflation related adjustments and the increase in data processing and telecommunication expense was primarily due to the addition of several technology products and increased processing volumes.  The efficiency ratio for fiscal year 2023 improved to 54.56% from 56.42% for fiscal year 2022.

The provision for income taxes for the current quarter decreased $42,000, or 3%, to $1.62 million from $1.67 million for the preceding quarter, primarily due to a higher percentage of non-taxable income and tax adjustments from the exercise of stock

options.  Timberland’s effective income tax rate was 19.6% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 compared to 20.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and 20.2% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.  Timberland’s effective income tax rate was 20.2% for both the 2023 fiscal year and the 2022 fiscal year.

Balance Sheet Management

Total assets increased $32.19 million, or 2%, during the quarter to $1.84 billion at September 30, 2023 from $1.81 billion at June 30, 2023 and decreased $20.23 million, or 1%, from $1.86 billion one year ago.  The increase during the current quarter was primarily due to a $41.66 million increase in net loans receivable which was partially offset by an $8.68 million decrease in investment securities and CDs held for investment.  The quarterly increase in assets was primarily funded by FHLB borrowings and increased deposits.

Liquidity

Timberland has continued to maintain a strong liquidity position (both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet) while deploying overnight funds into loans during the past year.  Liquidity, as measured by the sum of cash and cash equivalents, CDs held for investment, and available for sale investment securities, was 11.6% of total liabilities at September 30, 2023, compared to 12.1% at June 30, 2023, and 23.2% one year ago.  Timberland had secured borrowing line capacity of $680 million available through the FHLB and the Federal Reserve at September 30, 2023.  With a strong and diversified deposit base, only 19% of Timberland’s deposits were uninsured or uncollateralized at September 30, 2023.  (Note: This calculation excludes public deposits that are fully collateralized.)

Loans

Net loans receivable increased $41.66 million, or 3%, during the quarter to $1.30 billion at September 30, 2023 from $1.26 billion at June 30, 2023.  This increase was primarily due to a $23.95 million increase in one- to four-family loans, a $15.40 million increase in multi-family loans, an $11.25 million increase in commercial real estate loans, and smaller increases in several other loan categories. These increases to net loans receivable were partially offset by a $7.76 million decrease in construction and land development loans and smaller decreases in several other loan categories.

Net loan receivable increased $169.88 million, or 15%, during the fiscal year to $1.30 billion at September 30, 2023 from $1.13 billion at September 30, 2022. This increase was primarily due to a $77.11 million increase in one- to four-family loans, a $32.15 million increase in multi-family loans, a $31.62 million increase in commercial real estate loans, an $18.23 million increase in construction and land development loans, a $10.76 million increase in commercial business loans and smaller changes in other categories.

Timberland originated $89.25 million in loans during the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to $93.72 million for the preceding quarter and $136.55 million for the comparable quarter one year ago.  Timberland continues to originate fixed-rate one- to four-family mortgage loans, a portion of which are sold into the secondary market for asset-liability management purposes and to generate non-interest income.  During the past year, a larger percentage of single-family loan originations were retained in the portfolio rather than being sold due to the increased yield available on such loans.  During the current quarter, fixed-rate one- to four-family mortgage loans totaling $4.58 million were sold compared to $3.41 million for the preceding quarter and $8.06 million for the comparable quarter one year ago.

Investment Securities

Timberland’s investment securities and CDs held for investment decreased $8.68 million, or 3%, to $327.99 million at September 30, 2023, from $336.66 million at June 30, 2023.  The decrease was primarily due to maturities and scheduled amortization.

Investment securities and CDs held for investment decreased $3.76 million, or 1%, during the fiscal year to $327.99 million at September 30, 2023, from $331.75 million at September 30, 2022.  The decrease was primarily due to the sale of $8.86 million of available for sale investment securities (for a gain of $95,000), maturities and scheduled amortization, which were partially offset by additional purchases during the first quarter of the fiscal year.

Deposits

Total deposits increased $8.21 million, or 1%, during the quarter to $1.56 billion at September 30, 2023, from $1.55 billion at June 30, 2022.  The quarter’s increase consisted of a $48.79 million increase in certificates of deposit balances and a $3.15 million increase in non-interest bearing deposit balances.  These increases were partially offset by a $19.40 million decrease in money market account balances, a $13.29 million decrease in savings account balances, and an $11.03 million decrease in NOW checking account balances.

Total deposits decreased $71.24 million, or 4%, during the fiscal year to $1.56 billion at September 30, 2023 from $1.63 billion at September 30, 2022. The decrease consisted of a $74.19 million decrease in non-interest bearing deposit balances, a $61.05 million decrease in NOW checking account balances, a $58.66 million decrease in money market account balances and a

$54.85 million decrease in savings account balances.  These decreases were partially offset by a $177.52 million increase in certificate of deposit balances (including $38.17 million in brokered accounts).

Borrowings

Total borrowings increased to $35.00 million at September 30, 2023 from $15.00 million at June 30, 2023, as the Company utilized borrowings to supplement on-balance sheet liquidity during the current quarter.  At September 30, 2023, the weighted average rate on the borrowings was 4.87%.

Shareholders’ Equity and Capital Ratios

Total shareholders’ equity increased $3.81 million, or 2%, to $233.07 million at September 30, 2023, from $229.26 million at June 30, 2023.  The increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily due to net income of $6.64 million for the quarter and $164,000 from the exercise of stock options, which was partially offset by the payment of $1.86 million in dividends to shareholders, the repurchase of 30,566 shares of common stock for $878,000 (an average price of $28.74 per share), and a $340,000 increase in the accumulated other comprehensive loss category for fair value adjustments on available for sale investment securities.  Timberland had 374,142 shares available to be repurchased in accordance with the terms of its existing stock repurchase plan at September 30, 2023.

Timberland remains well capitalized with a total risk-based capital ratio of 19.38%, a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 12.10%, a tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio (non-GAAP) of 11.91%, and a shareholders’ equity to total assets ratio of 12.67% at September 30, 2023.  Timberland’s held to maturity investment securities were $270.22 million at September 30, 2023, with a net unrealized loss of $16.46 million (pre-tax).  Although not permitted by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), including these unrealized losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) would result in a ratio of shareholders’ equity to total assets of 12.04%, compared to 12.67%, as reported.

Asset Quality

Timberland’s non-performing assets to total assets ratio was 0.09% at September 30, 2023 compared to 0.09% at June 30, 2023 and 0.12% at September 30, 2022.  There were net charge-offs of $12,000 for the current quarter, compared to net charge-offs of $1,000 for the preceding quarter and no charge-offs for the comparable quarter one year ago.  Due primarily to loan portfolio growth, a $522,000 provision for loan losses was made for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, a $610,000 provision for loan losses was made for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and a $270,000 provision for loan losses was made during the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

The allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) as a percentage of loans receivable was 1.20% at September 30, 2023, compared to 1.20% at June 30, 2023 and 1.20% one year ago.

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



Timberland Fiscal Q4 2023 Earnings
October 30, 2023
Page 8

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 $192,000 at September 30, 2023.  The allowance for loan losses to loans receivable (excluding SBA PPP loan balances and the remaining aggregate balance of the loans acquired in the South Sound Acquisition) was 1.21% (non-GAAP) at September 30, 2023.

Total delinquent loans (past due 30 days or more) and non-accrual loans decreased $431,000 or 21%, to $1.67 million at September 30, 2023, from $2.01 million one year ago, and decreased $178,000, or 10%, from $1.84 million at June 30, 2023.  Non-accrual loans decreased $545,000, or 26%, to $1.51 million at September 30, 2023, from $2.06 million one year ago, and decreased $72,000, or 5%, from $1.59 million at June 30, 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to results presented in accordance with 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).
