Olympia, WA - 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.”

Balance Sheet

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $586.7 million, or 59.0%, to $407.3 million at September 30, 2022 from $994.1 million at June 30, 2022 due primarily to increases in investment securities and loans receivable and a decrease in deposits.

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:

	September 30, 2022				June 30, 2022				Change
	Balance		% of Total		Balance		% of Total		Amount		%
	(Dollars in thousands)

Certificates of deposit	287,423		4.6		310,769		4.9		(23,346)		(7.5)
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)	%
Tangible common equity to tangible assets (1)	7.6		7.9		(0.3)

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)

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

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

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.

Actual results may differ, possibly materially, from those currently expected or projected in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, include but are not limited to, the following:changes in general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, including as a result of employment levels, labor shortages and the effects of inflation, a potential recession or slowed economic growth caused by increasing political instability from acts of war including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, as well as increasing oil prices and supply chain disruptions; changes in the interest rate environment; the quality and composition of our securities portfolio and the impact of any adverse changes including market liquidity within the securities markets; legislative and regulatory changes, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the possibility of a new COVID-19 variant; and other factors described in Heritage's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other documents filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission-which are available on our website at www.heritagebanknw.com and on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Moreover, any of the forward-looking statements that we make in this press release or the documents we file with or furnish to the SEC are based only on information then actually known to the Company and upon management's beliefs and assumptions at the time they are made which may turn out to be wrong because of inaccurate assumptions we might make, because of the factors described above or because of other factors that we cannot foresee. The Company does not undertake and specifically disclaims any obligation to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

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.

INVESTOR PRESENTATION Q3 2022

2 Factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, include, but are not limited to, the following: • the U.S. and global economies, and consumer and corporate customers, including economic activity, market liquidity, employment levels and labor shortages, including the effects of inflation, a potential recession or slowed economic growth; • the credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the interest rate environment and trend of loan delinquencies and write-offs. In addition, changes in our allowance for credit losses ("ACL") on loans and provision for credit losses on loans may be effected by deterioration in economic conditions, which may lead to increased losses and nonperforming assets in our loan portfolio, and may result in our ACL on loans no longer being adequate to cover actual losses, and require us to increase our ACL on loans; • changes in economic conditions either nationally or in our market areas; • changes in the relative differences between short and long term interest rates, deposit interest rates, our net interest margin and funding sources; the transition away from LIBOR toward new interest rate benchmarks; • fluctuations in the demand for loans, the number of unsold homes and other properties and fluctuations in real estate values in our market areas; • results of examinations of us by the bank regulators, including the possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, initiate an enforcement action against the Company or our bank subsidiary which could require us to increase our ACL on loans, write-down assets, change our regulatory capital position, affect our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, or impose additional requirements on us, any of which could affect our ability to continue our growth through mergers, acquisitions or similar transactions and adversely affect our liquidity and earnings; • 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; • staffing fluctuations in response to product demand or the implementation of corporate strategies that affect our workforce 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 successfully integrate any assets, liabilities, customers, systems, and management personnel we may acquire into our operations and our ability to realize related revenue synergies and cost savings within expected time frames or at all, and any goodwill charges related thereto and costs or difficulties relating to integration matters, including but not limited to customer and employee retention, which might be greater than expected; • risks related to acquiring assets in or entering markets in which we have not previously operated and may not be familiar; • increased competitive pressures among financial service companies; • 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 FASB, including additional guidance and interpretation on accounting issues and details of the implementation of new accounting methods and as a result of the CARES Act and the CA Act; and • other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services, and the other risks detailed from time to time in our filings with the SEC including our Annual Form 10-K and Quarterly Form 10-Qs. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Moreover, you should treat these statements as speaking only as of the date they are made and based only on information then actually known to the Company. The Company does not undertake and specifically disclaims any obligation to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements. These risks could cause our actual results for future periods to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements by, or on behalf of, us, and could negatively affect the Company’s operating results and stock price performance.
