Timberland Bancorp Announces Second Fiscal Quarter Results

•	Net Income of $5.05 Million and EPS of $0.60

•	Allowance for Loan Losses Increased 20%

•	Return on Average Assets of 1.56%

•	Return on Average Equity of 11.39%

•	Announces $0.20 Quarterly Cash Dividend

HOQUIAM, WA – April 28, 2020 - Timberland Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSBK) (“Timberland” or “the Company”) today reported net income of $5.05 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to $6.11 million for the comparable quarter one year ago and $6.65 million for the preceding quarter. Earnings per diluted common share (“EPS”) were $0.60 for the current quarter compared to $0.72 for the comparable quarter one year ago and $0.78 for the preceding quarter. Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 was reduced by a $2.00 million provision to the loan loss reserve due to the economic uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. This provision reduced the quarter’s EPS approximately $0.19 and increased the allowance for loan losses to 1.29% of loans receivable from 1.07% at December 31, 2019.

For the first six months of fiscal 2020, Timberland earned $11.70 million, or $1.38 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $11.73 million, or $1.39 per diluted common share, for the first six months of fiscal 2019.

Timberland’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of $0.20 per common share payable on May 29, 2020, to shareholders of record on May 15, 2020.

“Staff efforts in March and April were primarily dedicated toward working to defer payments for borrowers adversely affected by Washington’s shelter-in-place proclamation, processing and booking Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans and managing a significant increase in residential mortgage loan refinance activity,” commented Michael Sand, President and CEO. “Timberland’s strong profitability and earnings retention over many years has significantly strengthened the Company’s capital base. With a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 12.75% and a tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio of 12.33% we are confident of persevering and managing through these unprecedented and challenging economic times. The Company holds substantial on balance sheet liquidity and has ready access to ample external, and currently inexpensive, sources of liquidity, if needed.”

“In late March we received our first requests for payment deferrals from businesses that had been adversely affected by operating restrictions brought on by the Coronavirus. Staff worked diligently with borrowers to provide initial 90-day payment deferrals with interest continuing to accrue or scheduled to be paid monthly. Depending on the timing of operating restriction relief in Washington State, extensions to the initial payment deferral periods for customers operating in certain business segments may be warranted. We will continue to monitor our loan portfolio diligently in light of the significant impact the Coronavirus has had on business and commercial clients in our local market areas. We have added a schedule of commercial real estate credits by type and a summary of loan payment deferrals later in this release. During April we obtained SBA approval for approximately 570 PPP applicants with loan requests aggregating to approximately $99.1 million. The funding of PPP loans approved from this first SBA allocation was completed on April 25, 2020 providing needed financial support to many small businesses in our communities. The opportunity for consumers to lock in long-term low interest rate residential mortgage loans has not gone unnoticed. As a consequence, we have seen a significant uptick in one- to four-family residential refinancing requests, the majority of which are conforming and destined for sale to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.”

“During the quarter Timberland repurchased 56,601 shares of stock before making the decision on March 16, 2020 to temporarily suspend further buyback activity. Upon due deliberation and thoughtful consideration Timberland’s directors declared a regular $0.20 divided as noted above.”

Operating Results

Operating revenue (net interest income before the provision for loan losses, plus non-interest income excluding recoveries on investment securities and BOLI death benefit claims) increased 6% to $16.56 million from $15.65 million for the comparable quarter one year ago and decreased 2% from $16.84 million for the preceding quarter. Operating revenue increased 7% to $33.39 million for the first six months of fiscal 2020 from $31.24 million for the comparable period one year ago.

Net interest income increased 1% to $12.88 million for the current quarter from $12.73 million for the comparable quarter one year ago and decreased 1% from $13.00 million for the preceding quarter. Timberland’s net interest margin (“NIM”) for the current quarter was 4.27% compared to 4.51% for the comparable quarter one year ago and 4.43% for the preceding quarter. The NIM for the current quarter was increased by approximately 15 basis points due to the accretion of $107,000 of the fair value discount on loans acquired in the South Sound Acquisition and the collection of $320,000 in pre-payment penalties, non-accrual interest, and late fees. The NIM for the preceding quarter was increased by approximately 13 basis points due to the accretion of $146,000 of the fair value discount on loans acquired in the South Sound Acquisition and the collection of $233,000 in pre-payment penalties, non-accrual interest and late fees. The NIM for the comparable quarter one year ago was increased by approximately 11 basis points due to the accretion of $301,000 of the fair value discount on loans acquired in the South Sound Acquisition and the collection of $16,000 of non-accrual interest. Net interest income increased 3% to $25.88 million for the first six months of fiscal 2020 from $25.07 million for the first six months of fiscal 2019. Timberland’s net interest margin for the first six months of fiscal 2020 was 4.35% compared to 4.49% for the first six months of fiscal 2019.

A $2.00 million provision for loan losses was made during the current quarter compared to no provision for loan losses for the comparable quarter one year ago and a $200,000 provision for loan losses for the preceding quarter. The current quarter’s provision was due to economic uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the $2.00 million provision, Timberland’s allowance for loan losses increased 20% to $11.89 million at March 31, 2020 from $9.88 million at December 31, 2019.

Non-interest income decreased 7% to $3.68 million for the current quarter from $3.94 million for the comparable quarter one year ago (which prior quarter included a $1.00 million BOLI death benefit claim) and decreased 7% from $3.94 million for the preceding quarter. The decrease in non-interest income compared to the preceding quarter was primarily due to a $217,000 decrease in gain on sale of loans, a $122,000 decrease in service charges on deposits, a $100,000 decrease in recoveries on investment securities, and smaller decreases in several other categories. These decreases were partially offset by a $283,000

Timberland Fiscal Q2 2020 Earnings

April 28, 2020
Page 3

recovery of a previously charged-off receivable acquired in the South Sound Acquisition. This recovery is recorded in the “Other” non-interest income category for the current quarter. The decrease in gain on sale of loans was primarily due to a decrease in the dollar amount of fixed rate one- to four-family loans that were sold during the current quarter. The decrease in service charges on deposits was primarily due to a decrease in overdraft fee income and a decrease in service charges collected on commercial accounts. The recoveries on investment securities were higher for the preceding quarter due to the payoff of several investment securities for which other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) had previously been recorded. Fiscal year-to-date non-interest income increased 6% to $7.62 million from $7.21 million for the first six months of fiscal 2019.

Total operating expenses for the current quarter decreased 11% to $8.29 million from $9.28 million for the comparable quarter one year ago and decreased 1% from $8.37 million for the preceding quarter. The decrease in operating expenses compared to the preceding quarter was primarily due to a $101,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits expenses, an $81,000 decrease in ATM and debit card processing expenses, a $69,000 decrease in data processing and telecommunications expenses, and smaller decreases in several other categories. These increases were partially offset by a $145,000 increase in premises and equipment expenses (including gains on disposition of premises and equipment), and smaller increases in several other categories. The net premises and equipment expenses for the preceding quarter was reduced by a $99,000 gain on the sale of land acquired in the South Sound Acquisition. The efficiency ratio for the current quarter was 50.04% compared to 55.66% for the comparable quarter one year ago and 49.43% for the preceding quarter. Fiscal year-to-date operating expenses decreased 7% to $16.66 million from $17.84 million for the first six months of fiscal 2019. The efficiency ratio for the first six months of fiscal 2020 improved to 49.73% from 55.27% for the first six months of fiscal 2019.

The provision for income taxes for the current quarter decreased $490,000 to $1.23 million from $1.72 million for the preceding quarter and decreased $52,000 from $1.28 million for the comparable quarter one year ago, primarily due to provisioning $2.00 million to the allowance for loan loss reserve which caused lower income before income taxes. Timberland’s effective income tax rate was 19.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, compared to 20.5% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 and 17.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The effective income tax rate for the comparable quarter one year ago was lower primarily due to a BOLI death benefit claim which increased the percentage of non-taxable income for the quarter.

Balance Sheet Management

Total assets increased $82.53 million, or 7%, to $1.32 billion at March 31, 2020 from $1.24 billion one year ago and increased $52.56 million, or 4%, from $1.27 billion at December 31, 2019. The quarterly increase in asset size was primarily due to increases in total cash and cash equivalents and CDs held for investment, which were partially offset by a decrease in net loans receivable. The increase in total assets was funded primarily by an increase in total deposits and, to a lesser extent, Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (“FHLB”) borrowings.

Net loans receivable increased $34.37 million, or 4%, to $907.66 million at March 31, 2020 from $873.28 million one year ago and decreased $5.49 million, or 1%, from $913.15 million at December 31, 2019. The decrease during the quarter was primarily due to a $4.09 million decrease in one- to four-family mortgage loans, a $3.81 million decrease in construction loans, a $3.30 million increase in the undisbursed portion of construction loans in process, a $2.01 million increase in the allowance for loan losses, and smaller decreases in several other loan categories. These decreases were partially offset by a $5.25 million increase in commercial real estate loans and a $2.97 million increase in multi-family loans.

Within Timberland’s commercial business loan portfolio (non-CRE) resides a segment of restaurant loans totaling $22.7 million in outstanding balances at March 31, 2020. As additional security for these loans, Timberland held cash collateral of $5.8 million at March 31, 2020 which amount is maintained at not less than 25% of the segment’s associated outstanding loan balances. Unless prior arrangements are made, and Timberland consents, loans falling more than four weeks delinquent are eligible for purchase out of Timberland’s portfolio in accordance with a Marketing and Servicing Agreement in existence since March 6, 2014. As an accommodation, Timberland has agreed to temporarily extend the purchase requirement to 12 weeks before a purchase is required from the portfolio. An additional sixteen commercial business loans with aggregate balances of $3.08 million support restaurants and coffee stand operations and eight of these loans, with balances totaling $2.68 million, are associated with U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) guarantees.

Through April 24, 2020, Timberland had approved 90-day payment deferrals (with interest continuing to accrue or be paid monthly) for 158 commercial business and commercial real estate loans with loan balances aggregating to $111.26 million. Of this number, 14 were SBA guaranteed loans aggregating to $9.36 million, the majority of which are likely to terminate the deferral period to access the recently enacted six-month SBA loan payment facility. An additional 11 consumer mortgage loans totaling $2.91 million were approved for payment deferrals as well as of April 24, 2020.

Timberland originated $100.47 million in loans during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, compared to $64.47 million for the comparable quarter one year ago and $132.55 million for the preceding quarter. 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 second quarter of fiscal 2020, fixed-rate one- to four-family mortgage loans and SBA loans totaling $27.49 million were sold compared to $12.16 million for the comparable quarter one year ago and $34.56 million for the preceding quarter.

Timberland’s investment securities and CDs held for investment increased $7.42 million, or 5%, to $161.58 million at March 31, 2020, from $154.16 million at December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to a $6.22 million increase in CDs held for investment as the Company put a portion of its excess overnight liquidity into higher-earning CDs during the quarter.

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 25.6% of total liabilities at March 31, 2020, compared to 21.4% at December 31, 2019, and 22.6% one year ago.

Total deposits increased $41.17 million, or 4%, during the current quarter to $1.13 billion at March 31, 2020, from $1.08 billion at December 31, 2019. The quarterly increase consisted of an $18.65 million increase in non-interest-bearing demand account balances, a $7.79 million increase in certificates of deposit account balances, a $6.71 million increase in savings account balances, a $4.67 million increase in NOW checking account balances, and a $3.34 million increase in money market account balances.

FHLB Borrowings

Timberland borrowed $10.00 million from the FHLB for asset-liability purposes in March 2020 as long-term borrowing rates dropped to historic lows. The borrowings are comprised of a $5.00 million five-year borrowing and a $5.00 million seven-year borrowing. The weighted average interest rate on these borrowings is 1.15%.

Shareholders’ Equity and Capital Ratios

Total shareholders’ equity increased $2.36 million to $178.01 million at March 31, 2020, from $175.65 million at December 31, 2019. The increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily due to net income of $5.05 million for the quarter, which was partially offset by the payment of $1.67 million in dividends to shareholders and the repurchase of 56,601 shares of the Company’s common stock for $1.24 million (an average price of $21.88 per share). Timberland had 144,852 shares available to be repurchased on its existing stock repurchase plan at March 31, 2020.

Timberland remains well capitalized with a total risk-based capital ratio of 19.78% and a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 12.75% at March 31, 2020.

Asset Quality

Timberland’s non-performing assets to total assets ratio improved to 0.38% at March 31, 2020 compared to 0.41% one year ago and 0.39% at December 31, 2019. There were net recoveries of $8,000 for the current quarter compared to net charge-offs of $8,000 for the preceding quarter and net recoveries of $208,000 for the comparable quarter one year ago.

A $2.00 million provision for loan losses was made during the current quarter due to the economic uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. On March 24, 2020, Washington State Governor Jay Inslee signed a statewide order requiring residents to stay at home unless involved in an essential activity. All businesses, except those considered essential were also ordered to close. As a result of the mandated shutdown, Timberland began working with loan customers on loan deferral and forbearance plans.

As a result of the $2.00 million provision, the allowance for loan losses to loans receivable increased to 1.29% at March 31, 2020 from 1.07% at December 31, 2019. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans receivable is 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 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 $1.13 million at March 31, 2020. The allowance for loan losses to loans receivable (excluding the remaining balance of the loans acquired in the South Sound Acquisition) was 1.42% (non-GAAP) at March 31, 2020.

Total delinquent loans (past due 30 days or more) and non-accrual loans decreased $440,000, or 11%, to $3.43 million at March 31, 2020, from $3.87 million at December 31, 2019, and decreased $143,000, or 4%, from $3.57 million one year ago. Non-accrual loans increased $146,000, or 5%, to $3.22 million at March 31, 2020 from $3.07 million at December 31, 2019, and increased $471,000, or 17%, from $2.75 million one year ago.

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
