Timberland Bancorp Announces Third Fiscal Quarter Earnings

  • Third Fiscal Quarter Net Income of $5.74 Million
  • Quarterly Return on Average Equity of 10.80%
  • Loan Portfolio (Excluding PPP Loans) Increased 5.7% During Quarter
  • Announces $0.22 Quarterly Cash Dividend

HOQUIAM, Wash., July 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Timberland Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSBK) (“Timberland” or “the Company”), the holding company for Timberland Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $5.74 million, or $0.69 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. This compares to net income of $5.33 million, or $0.63 per diluted common share, for the preceding quarter and $7.02 million, or $0.83 per diluted common share, for the comparable quarter one year ago.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2022, Timberland earned $16.55 million, or $1.97 per diluted common share, compared to $21.57 million or $2.55 per diluted common share for the first nine months of fiscal 2021.

Timberland’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of $0.22 per share, payable on August 26, 2022, to shareholders of record on August 12, 2022.

“Timberland generated strong fiscal third quarter financial results,” stated Michael Sand, CEO. “Compared to the prior quarter, net income and earnings per share increased 8% and 10%, respectively, largely on the strength of continued solid loan growth and higher interest rates. This quarter we experienced continued strong loan growth, with net loans receivable, excluding Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans, increasing 5.7%, or 22.8% on an annualized basis. Loan growth was primarily due to increases in multi-family, commercial business, commercial real estate and residential mortgage loans originated within our western Washington market footprint. Increased interest income from the larger loan portfolio more than offset the quarter’s $584,000 decrease in income from the soon to be completely forgiven PPP loan portfolio.”

“Our net interest margin expanded 16 basis points compared to the prior quarter, benefitting from the recent interest rate increases enacted by the Federal Reserve,” added Dean Brydon, President and CFO. “This expansion was a result of deploying excess liquidity to fund loan growth, and from investing in short and moderate duration investments to supplement interest income. The Company continues to be well positioned to benefit from additional Federal Reserve actions to increase interest rates, and we anticipate additional opportunities to invest excess liquidity during the next several quarters.”

Third Fiscal Quarter 2022 Earnings and Balance Sheet Highlights (at or for the period ended June 30, 2022, compared to June 30, 2021, or March 31, 2022):
  
    Earnings Highlights:

  • Net income was $5.74 million for the current quarter compared to $5.33 million for the preceding quarter and $7.02 million for the comparable quarter one year ago; Earnings per diluted common share (“EPS”) was $0.69 for the current quarter compared to $0.63 for the preceding quarter and $0.83 for the comparable quarter one year ago;
  • Net income was $16.55 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 compared to $21.57 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2021; EPS was $1.97 for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 compared to $2.55 for the first nine months of fiscal 2021;
  • Return on average equity (“ROE”) and return on average assets (“ROA”) for the current quarter were 10.80% and 1.22%, respectively;
  • Net interest margin (“NIM”) was 3.11% for the current quarter compared to 2.95% for the preceding quarter and 3.22% for the comparable quarter one year ago; and
  • The efficiency ratio was 57.80% for the current quarter compared to 58.42% for the preceding quarter and 49.43% for the comparable quarter one year ago.

Operating Results

Operating revenue (net interest income before the provision for loan losses plus non-interest income) increased 7% to $17.08 million for the third fiscal quarter from $15.98 million for the preceding quarter and decreased 2% from $17.34 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 investment securities and interest bearing deposits in banks. Increased interest income from growth in the loan portfolio more than offset a $584,000 decrease in SBA PPP loan income.   Operating revenue decreased 6% to $49.20 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 from $52.46 million for the comparable period one year ago, primarily due to a decrease in mortgage banking revenue.

Net interest income increased 8% to $13.98 million for the current quarter from $12.89 million for the preceding quarter and increased 6% from $13.16 million for the comparable quarter one year ago.   Timberland’s NIM for the current quarter was 3.11% compared to 2.95% for the preceding quarter and 3.22% for the comparable quarter one year ago.   The NIM for the current quarter was increased by approximately five basis points due to the accretion of $63,000 of the fair value discount on loans acquired in the South Sound Acquisition and the collection of $147,000 in pre-payment penalties, non-accrual interest, and late fees. The NIM for the preceding quarter was increased by approximately six basis points due to the accretion of $34,000 of the fair value discount on loans acquired in the South Sound Acquisition and the collection of $246,000 in pre-payment penalties, non-accrual interest and late fees. The NIM for the comparable quarter one year ago was increased by approximately 13 basis points due to the accretion of $84,000 of the fair value discount on loans acquired in the South Sound Acquisition and the collection of $443,000 in pre-payment penalties, non-accrual interest and late fees. Net interest income increased 2% to $39.57 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 from $38.75 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2021. Timberland’s net interest margin for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 was 2.99% compared to 3.30% for the first nine months of fiscal 2021.

U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) PPP loans contributed 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 June 30, 2022, Timberland had SBA PPP deferred loan origination fees of $52,000 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:

No provision for loan losses was made during the quarters ended June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2021.

Non-interest income increased 1% to $3.10 million for the current quarter from $3.08 million for the preceding quarter and decreased 27% from $4.27 million for the comparable quarter one year ago. The increase in non-interest income compared to the preceding quarter was primarily due to a $98,000 increase in ATM and debit card interchange transaction fees and smaller increases in several other categories.   These increases were partially offset by a $158,000 decrease in gain on sales of loans. The quarterly year-over-year decrease in non-interest income was primarily due to a $1.35 million decrease in gain on sales of loans, which was partially offset by a $179,000 reduction in the valuation allowance on loan servicing rights. Fiscal year-to-date non-interest income decreased 30% to $9.63 million from $13.71 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2021, primarily due to a $4.03 million decrease in gain on sales of loans.   The decrease in gain on sales of loans for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to decreases in the dollar amount of fixed-rate one- to four-family loans originated and sold (as refinance demand slowed) and decreases in the average pricing margin compared to the same periods last year.

Total operating expenses for the current quarter increased $541,000, or 6%, to $9.87 million from $9.33 million for the preceding quarter and increased $1.26 million, or 15%, from $8.61 million for the comparable quarter one year ago.   The increase in operating expenses compared to the preceding quarter was primarily due to a $258,000 increase in professional fees expense and smaller increases in several other expense categories. These increases were partially offset by smaller decreases in several expense categories. The increase in professional fees expense was primarily due to higher legal and consulting fees.   Fiscal year-to-date operating expenses increased 11% to $28.47 million from $25.57 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2021.   The year-to-date increase in operating expenses was primarily due to a $1.66 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense and a $498,000 increase in professional fees expense. The increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was primarily due to annual salary adjustments (effective October 1st) and the hiring of additional lending personnel. The efficiency ratio for the current quarter was 57.80% compared to 58.42% for the preceding quarter and 49.43% for the comparable quarter one year ago. The efficiency ratio for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 was 57.87% compared to 48.75% for the first nine months of fiscal 2021.

The provision for income taxes for the current quarter increased $156,000 to $1.47 million from $1.32 million for the preceding quarter, primarily due to higher taxable income.   Timberland’s effective income tax rate was 20.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 compared to 19.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and 20.3% for the quarter ended quarter ended June 30, 2021.   Timberland’s effective income tax rate was 20.1% for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 compared to 19.8% for the first nine months of fiscal 2021.

Balance Sheet Management

Total assets increased $10.33 million, or 1%, to $1.89 billion at June 30, 2022 from $1.88 billion at March 31, 2022.   The quarter’s increase was primarily due to a $53.89 million increase in net loans receivable, a $28.55 million increase in investment securities and CDs held for investment, and smaller increases in several other categories. These increases were partially offset by a $70.15 million decrease in total cash and cash equivalents, and smaller decreases in several other categories. The increase in total assets was funded primarily by an increase in total deposits.

Loans

Net loans receivable increased $53.89 million, or 5%, to $1.09 billion at June 30, 2022 from $1.03 billion at March 31, 2022. This increase was primarily due to a $16.19 million increase in multi-family loans, a $14.18 million increase in commercial business loans (non-PPP), a $10.76 million increase in one- to four-family loans, an $8.69 million increase in commercial real estate loans, a $7.75 million increase in construction loans and smaller increases in several other loan categories. These increases to net loans receivable were partially offset by a $4.61 million decrease in SBA PPP loans and smaller decreases in several other loan categories.

Timberland originated $128.90 million in loans during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to $130.41 million for the preceding quarter and $146.60 million for the comparable quarter one year ago. 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 totaling $11.61 million were sold compared to $16.88 million for the preceding quarter and $41.06 million for the comparable quarter one year ago. The decrease in loans sold during the current quarter compared to the prior year was primarily due to a decrease in single-family refinance loans originated as mortgage refinance activity diminished.
        
Timberland’s investment securities and CDs held for investment increased $28.55 million, or 11%, to $298.10 million at June 30, 2022, from $269.55 million at March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to the purchase of additional U.S Treasury securities and mortgage-backed investment securities.

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 29.4% of total liabilities at June 30, 2022, compared to 34.3% at March 31, 2022, and 39.2% one year ago.  

Deposits

Total deposits increased $7.69 million during the current quarter to $1.664 billion at June 30, 2022, from $1.656 billion at March 31, 2022. The quarter’s increase consisted of a $16.34 million increase in NOW checking account balances and a $2.39 million increase in non-interest account balances. These increases were partially offset by an $8.77 million decrease in savings account balances, a $1.07 million decrease in money market account balances and a $1.20 million decrease in certificates of deposit account balances.

Shareholders’ Equity and Capital Ratios

Total shareholders’ equity increased $2.05 million, or 1%, to $214.32 million at June 30, 2022, from $212.27 million at March 31, 2022. The increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily due to net income of $5.74 million for the quarter, which was partially offset by the payment of $1.83 million in dividends to shareholders, the repurchase of 58,678 shares of common stock for $1.50 million (an average price of $25.60 per share), and a $458,000 increase in the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive loss.   Timberland had 263,491 shares available to be repurchased in accordance with the terms of its existing stock repurchase plan at June 30, 2022.

Timberland remains well capitalized with a total risk-based capital ratio of 19.82%, a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 10.72%, and a tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio (non-GAAP) of 10.59% at June 30, 2022.

Asset Quality

Timberland’s non-performing assets to total assets ratio improved to 0.13% at June 30, 2022, from 0.16% at March 31, 2022 and 0.14% one year ago. There were no net charge-offs for the current quarter compared to net charge-offs of $35,000 for the preceding quarter and net recoveries of $35,000 for the comparable quarter one year ago. No provisions for loan losses were made during the quarters ended June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2021.

The allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) as a percentage of loans receivable was 1.22% at June 30, 2022, compared to 1.28% at March 31, 2022 and 1.33% 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 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 $295,000 at June 30, 2022. 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 1.25% (non-GAAP) at June 30, 2022.

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 decreased $414,000, or 14%, to $2.53 million at June 30, 2022, from $2.95 million at March 31, 2022, and decreased $410,000, or 14%, from $2.94 million one year ago. Non-accrual loans decreased $360,000, or 14%, to $2.29 million at June 30, 2022, from $2.65 million at March 31, 2022 and increased $262,000, or 13%, from $2.03 million one year ago.

the credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and trend of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in our allowance for loan losses and provision for loan losses that may be impacted by deterioration in the housing and commercial real estate markets which may lead to increased losses and non-performing assets in our loan portfolio, and may result in our allowance for loan losses not being adequate to cover actual losses, and require us to materially increase our loan loss reserves; changes in general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas; changes in the levels of general interest rates, and the relative differences between short and long term interest rates, deposit interest rates, our net interest margin and funding sources; uncertainty regarding the future of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), and the potential transition away from LIBOR toward new interest rate benchmarks; fluctuations in the demand for loans, the number of unsold homes, land and other properties and fluctuations in real estate values in our market areas; secondary market conditions for loans and our ability to sell loans in the secondary market; results of examinations of us by the Federal Reserve and our bank subsidiary by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions, Division of Banks or other regulatory authorities, including the possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, institute a formal or informal enforcement action against us or our bank subsidiary which could require us to increase our allowance for loan losses, write-down assets, change our regulatory capital position or affect our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits or impose additional requirements or restrictions on us, any of which could adversely affect our liquidity and earnings; legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business including changes in regulatory policies and principles, or the interpretation of regulatory capital or other rules including as a result of Basel III; the impact of the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and implementing regulations; our ability to attract and retain deposits; our ability to control operating costs and expenses; the use of estimates in determining fair value of certain of our assets, which estimates may prove to be incorrect and result in significant declines in valuation; difficulties in reducing risk associated with the loans on our consolidated balance sheet; staffing fluctuations in response to product demand or the implementation of corporate strategies that affect our work force and potential associated charges; disruptions, security breaches, or other adverse events, failures or interruptions in, or attacks on, our information technology systems or on the third-party vendors who perform several of our critical processing functions; our ability to retain key members of our senior management team; costs and effects of litigation, including settlements and judgments; our ability to implement our business strategies; our ability to manage loan delinquency rates; increased competitive pressures among financial services companies; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; the availability of resources to address changes in laws, rules, or regulations or to respond to regulatory actions; our ability to pay dividends on our common and stock; adverse changes in the securities markets; inability of key third-party providers to perform their obligations to us; changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the financial institution regulatory agencies or the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), including additional guidance and interpretation on accounting issues and details of the implementation of new accounting methods; the economic impact of war or any terrorist activities; other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological factors affecting our operations; pricing, products and services including the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 (“CARES Act”), the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (“CAA”), and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021; and other risks detailed in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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).
