    Segment Reporting

    The Company reports two segments: Commercial and Consumer Banking and Home Lending. The Commercial and Consumer Banking segment provides diversified financial products and services to our commercial and consumer customers. These products and services include deposit products; residential, consumer, business and commercial real estate lending portfolios and cash management services. This segment is also responsible for the management of the investment portfolio and other assets of the Bank. The Home Lending segment originates one-to-four-family residential mortgage loans primarily for sale in the secondary markets as well as loans held for investment.

    The Company reflected the sale of servicing rights in the first quarter of 2024 as a gain to the Commercial and Consumer Bank segment to offset the realized loss on sale of investment securities and will allocate the gain on a straight-line basis over four years as intercompany income from the Commercial and Consumer Banking segment to the Home Lending segment.

    (1) Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on assets and the cost of liabilities to fund those assets. Interest earned includes actual interest earned on segment assets and, if the segment has excess liabilities, interest credits for providing funding to the other segment. The cost of liabilities includes interest expense on segment liabilities and, if the segment does not have enough liabilities to fund its assets, a funding charge based on the cost of assigned liabilities to fund segment assets.

    (2) Noninterest income includes activity from certain residential mortgage loans that were initially originated for sale and measured at fair value, and subsequently transferred to loans held for investment. Gains and losses from changes in fair value for these loans are reported in earnings as a component of noninterest income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded net increases in fair value of $184,000 and $186,000, respectively, as compared to a net decrease in fair value of $520,000 and a net increase in fair value of $57,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, there were $13.9 million and $14.3 million, respectively, in residential mortgage loans recorded at fair value as they were previously transferred from loans held for sale to loans held for investment.

    (3) Noninterest expense includes allocated overhead expense from general corporate activities. Allocation is determined based on a combination of segment assets and FTEs.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Home Lending segment included allocated overhead expenses of $1.5 million and $3.0 million, compared to $1.6 million and $3.2 million, respectively.   

    Asset Summary

    Total assets decreased $28.3 million, or 1.0%, to $2.94 billion at June 30, 2024, compared to $2.97 billion at March 31, 2024, and increased $35.8 million, or 1.2%, from $2.91 billion at June 30, 2023.  The decrease in total assets at June 30, 2024, compared to March 31, 2024, included decreases of $58.5 million in securities available-for-sale, $12.4 million in total cash and cash equivalents, and $10.5 million in certificates of deposit (“CDs”) at other financial institutions, partially offset by increases of $41.8 million in loans receivable, net, $7.4 million in FHLB stock, $3.9 million in loans held for sale (“HFS”), and $2.0 million in other assets.  The increase compared to June 30, 2023, was primarily due to increases in loans receivable, net of $114.8 million, loans HFS of $37.1 million, FHLB stock of $3.8 million, and interest receivable of $1.5 million. These increases were partially offset by decreases in total cash and cash equivalents of $99.1 million, securities available-for-sale of $4.7 million, core deposit intangible, net of $3.8 million, certificates of deposit at other financial institutions of $2.0 million, operating lease right-of-use of $1.7 million, premises and equipment of $1.3 million, and deferred tax asset, net of $1.2 million.

    _________________________

    (1) Noninterest-bearing accounts.

    (2) Includes $4.0 million, $8.0 million and $51,000 of brokered deposits at June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

    (3) Includes $261.0 million, $331.3 million, and $295.7 million of brokered deposits at June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

    At June 30, 2024, CDs, which include retail and non-retail CDs, totaled $1.10 billion, compared to $1.11 billion at March 31, 2024 and $918.8 million at June 30, 2023, with non-retail CDs representing 24.9%, 31.0% and 33.7% of total CDs at such dates, respectively. At June 30, 2024, non-retail CDs, which include brokered CDs, online CDs and public funds CDs, decreased $71.2 million to $273.4 million, compared to $344.5 million at March 31, 2024, primarily due to a decrease of $70.3 million in brokered CDs. Non-retail CDs totaled $273.4 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $310.0 million at June 30, 2023.

    At June 30, 2024, the Bank had uninsured deposits of approximately $586.6 million, compared to approximately $614.1 million at March 31, 2024, and $587.6 million at June 30, 2023.  The uninsured amounts are estimates based on the methodologies and assumptions used for the Bank's regulatory reporting requirements.

    At June 30, 2024, borrowings increased $52.0 million to $181.9 million at June 30, 2024, from $129.9 million at March 31, 2024, and decreased $18.0 million from $199.9 million at June 30, 2023. These borrowings were comprised of FHLB advances of $154.9 million, and overnight borrowings of $27.0 million.

    Total stockholders’ equity increased $6.1 million to $284.0 million at June 30, 2024, from $277.9 million at March 31, 2024, and increased $34.1 million, from $249.9 million at June 30, 2023. The increase in stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2024, compared to March 31, 2024, reflects net income of $9.0 million, partially offset by cash dividends paid of $2.0 million and share repurchases of $2.4 million. In addition, stockholders’ equity was positively impacted by decreases in unrealized net losses on securities available for sale of $666,000, net of tax, and unrealized net gains on fair value and cash flow hedges of $216,000, net of tax, reflecting sales of investment securities and changes in market interest rates during the quarter, resulting in a $882,000 improvement in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Book value per common share was $37.15 at June 30, 2024, compared to $36.06 at March 31, 2024, and $32.71 at June 30, 2023.

    The Bank is considered well capitalized under the capital requirements established by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) with a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.9%, a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 10.9%, and a common equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) capital ratio of 12.6% at June 30, 2024.

    The Company exceeded all regulatory capital requirements with a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.1%, a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 9.5%, and a CET1 ratio of 10.9% at June 30, 2024.

    Credit Quality

    The ACLL was $31.2 million, or 1.26% of gross loans receivable (excluding loans HFS) at June 30, 2024, compared to $31.5 million, or 1.29% of gross loans receivable (excluding loans HFS), at March 31, 2024, and $30.4 million, or 1.28% of gross loans receivable (excluding loans HFS), at June 30, 2023. The $241,000 decrease in the ACLL at June 30, 2024, compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to a decline in nonperforming loans resulting from charge-offs of principal balances previously reserved for in the ACLL.  The year-over-year increase of $888,000 in the ACLL was primarily due to organic loan growth, increases in nonperforming loans and net charge-offs. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments increased $77,000 to $1.6 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $1.5 million at March 31, 2024, and decreased $361,000 from $1.9 million at June 30, 2023. These changes period over period were attributable to fluctuations in unfunded construction loan commitments in these time frames.

    Nonperforming loans decreased $700,000 to $11.4 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $12.1 million at March 31, 2024, and increased $2.1 million from $9.3 million at June 30, 2023. The decrease in nonperforming loans during the quarter was primarily due to decreases in nonperforming C&I loans of $766,000 and marine loans of $58,000, partially offset by an increase of $124,000 in indirect home improvement loans. The decrease in C&I loans during the quarter was primarily the result of C&I loan charge-offs of $733,000, which included a partial charge off of $380,000 on a nonperforming Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loan that is partially guaranteed. The increase in nonperforming loans compared to the same quarter the prior year was primarily due to increases in nonperforming construction and development loans of $4.7 million, indirect home improvement loans of $486,000, and home equity loans of $106,000, partially offset by decreases in nonperforming C&I loans of $3.1 million and marine loans of $144,000.

    Loans classified as substandard decreased $663,000 to $24.3 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $24.9 million at March 31, 2024, and increased $7.9 million from $16.4 million at June 30, 2023.  The decrease in substandard loans compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to a decrease of $637,000 in C&I loans.  The increase in substandard loans compared to the prior year was primarily due to increases of $4.7 million in construction and development loans, $2.0 million in CRE loans, $722,000 in one-to-four family loans, and $486,000 in indirect home improvement loans. There were no other real estate owned (“OREO”) properties at both June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, compared to one OREO property (a closed branch in Centralia, Washington) in the amount of $570,000 at June 30, 2023.

    Operating Results

    Net interest income decreased $1.2 million to $30.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, from $31.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, due to an increase in interest expense on deposits and borrowings, partially offset by an increase in interest and dividend income. Total interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2024, increased $5.1 million compared to the same period last year, primarily due to an increase of $4.2 million in interest income on loans receivable, including fees, primarily as a result of new loans being originated at higher rates and variable rate loans repricing higher. Total interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024, increased $6.2 million compared to the same period last year, primarily as a result of higher market interest rates, higher utilization of borrowings and a shift in deposit mix from transactional accounts to higher cost CDs.

    For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net interest income decreased $1.5 million to $60.7 million, from $62.2 million for the six months ended  June 30, 2023, for the same reason as for the three-month comparison described above, with an increase in interest income of $11.3 million and an increase in interest expense of $12.8 million.

    NIM (annualized) decreased 37 basis points to 4.29% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, from 4.66% for the same period in the prior year, and decreased 41 basis points from 4.68% to 4.27% for the six months ended  June 30, 2024.  The change in NIM for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, reflects the increased costs of deposits and borrowings, which outpaced the increased yields earned on interest-earning assets. 

    The average total cost of funds, including noninterest-bearing checking, increased 90 basis points to 2.38% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, from 1.48% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This increase was predominantly due to higher market rates for deposits and increased utilization of higher cost borrowings. The average cost of funds increased 90 basis points to 2.30% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, from 1.40% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, also reflecting increases in market interest rates over last year and increased utilization of borrowings. Management remains focused on matching deposit/liability duration with the duration of loans/assets where feasible.

    For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the provision for credit losses on loans was $1.1 million and $2.5 million, compared to $1.1 million and $3.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The provision for credit losses on loans reflects an increase in the loan portfolio, as well as an increase in nonperforming loans and higher net charge-offs during the periods.

    During the three months ended June 30, 2024, net charge-offs totaled $1.2 million, compared to $651,000 for the same period last year.  This increase was the result of increased net charge-offs of $648,000 in C&I loans and $42,000 in indirect home improvement loans, partially offset by a net recovery of $105,000 in marine loans. Net charge-offs totaled $2.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023.  This increase included $1.1 million in C&I charge offs, along with net charge-off increases of $482,000 in indirect home improvement loans, $65,000 in other consumer loans and $64,000 in marine loans. Management attributes the increase in net charge-offs over the year primarily to volatile economic conditions.

    Noninterest income increased $1.0 million to $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, from $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase reflects a $736,000 increase in other noninterest income, primarily due to fair value changes on loans, a $516,000 increase in gain on sale of loans, primarily as a result of the increased volume of loans sold, and a $151,000 increase in gain on sale of investment securities, partially offset by a $383,000 decrease in service charges and fee income.  Noninterest income increased $927,000, to $11.0 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, from $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.  This increase was primarily the result of an $8.2 million gain on sale of MSRs recorded during the first six months of 2024 with no similar transaction occurring in the comparable six month period in 2023, and an $878,000 increase in gain on sale of loans, partially offset by a $7.8 million loss on sale of investment securities resulting from management's strategic decision to increase the yields earned on and reduce the duration of the securities portfolio, and a $439,000 decrease in service charges and fee income. 

    Noninterest expense decreased $347,000 to $23.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, from $24.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in noninterest expense was primarily due to decreases of $390,000 in loan costs, $141,000 in FDIC insurance, $135,000 in salaries and benefits, $124,000 in operations, and $104,000 in amortization of core deposit intangible (“CDI”), partially offset by increases of $375,000 in data processing, $231,000 in professional and board fees, and $107,000 in occupancy expense. Noninterest expense decreased $342,000 to $47.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, from $47.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.  Decreases during the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same period last year included $1.6 million in acquisition costs, $442,000 in salaries and benefits, and $275,000 in loan costs, partially offset by increases of $765,000 in data processing, $476,000 in professional and board fees, $378,000 in amortization of CDI, $292,000 in occupancy, and $192,000 in operations.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

    In addition to financial results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles utilized in the United States (“GAAP”), this earnings release presents non-GAAP financial measures that include tangible book value per share, and tangible common equity ratio. Management believes that providing the Company’s tangible book value per share and tangible common equity ratio is consistent with the capital treatment utilized by the investment community, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios and facilitates comparison of the quality and composition of the Company's capital over time and in comparison to its competitors. Where applicable, the Company has also presented comparable GAAP information.

    These non-GAAP financial 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 total stockholders' equity or operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

    Reconciliation of the GAAP book value per share and common equity ratio and the non-GAAP tangible book value per share and tangible common equity ratio is presented below.
