SEATTLE – January 27, 2023 – (BUSINESS WIRE) – HomeStreet, Inc. (Nasdaq: HMST) (including its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company", "HomeStreet" or "we"), the parent company of HomeStreet Bank, today announced the financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022. As we present non-GAAP measures in this release, the reader should refer to the non-GAAP reconciliations set forth below under the section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

“Our financial results have been adversely impacted by the historically significant increase in short-term interest rates by the Federal Reserve during 2022,” said Mark K. Mason, HomeStreet’s Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer. “This dramatic increase in rates last year resulted in significant reductions in loan demand, particularly in single family mortgage. Accordingly, our loan volume and gain on loan sales activities declined significantly from 2021 levels. Additionally, our interest sensitive deposits declined as customers moved funds to higher yielding products both at our Bank and at other banks and brokerage firms. Attractive rates on Treasury securities and non-bank money market funds have also created meaningful competition. During the last six months we have taken a number of steps to reduce the pressure on our funding base, including: (i) significantly reducing our level of loan originations; (ii) introducing promotional priced deposit products which allow us to attract and retain deposits without repricing our existing interest-bearing deposit base; and (iii) entering into $1 billion of fixed-rate Federal Home Loan Bank advances in the fourth quarter. We extended the maturities of $1 billion of FHLB advances to hedge the still unknown risk associated with increasing interest rates and an unknown terminal Federal Funds rate. These pressures on our funding base have resulted in reductions in our net interest margin which are expected to continue but trough in the first quarter of 2023. We expect this to be the low point in our net interest margin assuming short-term interest rates stabilize in the first quarter and we complete our acquisition of three California branches in the first quarter. In addition to the above, we have taken steps to reduce staff levels in line with our reduced loan production activity and reduce controllable expenses to the extent possible without damaging our business. In this regard, full time equivalent employees ended the year at 913, down from 970 at the beginning of the year. Despite the above challenges, we believe we are positioned to resume growing our balance sheet and increasing our earnings once short-term rates stabilize and uncertainty is removed from the interest rate markets."

"In the fourth quarter we recorded a $3.8 million addition to our allowance for credit losses (ACL). This addition primarily relates to loan portfolio growth and additions to the qualitative component of our ACL related to the collateral, or market value of single-family homes which are projected to decline in the future," continued Mr. Mason. "Charge offs in the quarter were $0.3 million and nonperforming assets fell to 0.13% of total assets. Credit quality remains strong and we currently do not see any meaningful credit challenges on the horizon.”

Financial Position	Fourth quarter 2022 compared to third quarter 2022 •Loan portfolio originations: $612 million compared to $914 million •Loans held for investment increased by $209 million in the fourth quarter •Total deposits increased by $842 million or 13% •Period ending cost of deposits: 1.61% compared to 0.71% •Tangible book value per share: $28.41 compared to $27.92
	2022 Activity •Loan portfolio originations: $3.6 billion •Loans held for investment increased by $1.9 billion in 2022 •Total deposits increased $1.3 billion or 21.2%

“In response to the funding challenges created by the rising interest rate environment, we significantly reduced our multifamily portfolio loan and single family loans held for sale origination activities in the second half of last year, and we expect to have minimal levels of multifamily portfolio loan originations through the first half of 2023,” added Mr. Mason. “While we were successful in attracting over $1.4 billion in our promotional deposit products, we continued to see runoff in our core deposits in the fourth quarter. With anticipated increases in short term interest rates during the first half of 2023, we expect to continue to utilize promotional deposit products to offset any additional runoff in our core deposits and to replace a portion of our brokered deposits.”

Other •Declared and paid a cash dividend of $0.35 per share in the fourth quarter •Purchase of deposits and three retail branches in southern California is scheduled to close in the first quarter of 2023

Mr. Mason concluded, “We are excited about closing our acquisition of deposits from Union Bank in the first quarter. The employees at these branches have been great to work with and we will benefit from the addition of over $450 million of low cost core deposits to our funding base."

Results of Operations

Fourth Quarter of 2022 Compared to the Third Quarter of 2022

Our net income and income before taxes were $8.5 million and $11.1 million, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2022, as compared to $20.4 million and $26.5 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2022. The $15.3 million decrease in income before taxes was due to lower net interest income, a provision for credit losses, lower noninterest income and higher noninterest expense.

Our effective tax rate was 23.7% in the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to 23.0% in third quarter of 2022 and a statutory rate of 24.4%. Our effective tax rate was lower than our statutory rate due primarily to the benefits of tax advantaged investments.

Net interest income was $7.3 million lower in the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to the third quarter of 2022 primarily due to a decrease in our net interest margin from 3.00% to 2.53%, which was partially offset by a 5% increase in average interest earning assets. The decrease in our net interest margin was due to a 90 basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, which was partially offset by a 29 basis point increase in the yield on interest-earning assets. Yields on interest-earning assets increased as the yields on loan originations during the fourth quarter were higher than the rates of our existing portfolio of loans and yields on adjustable rate loans increased due to increases in the indexes on which their pricing is based. The increase in the rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities was due to higher deposit costs, higher borrowing costs and an increase in the proportion of higher cost borrowings used as a sources of funding. Our cost of borrowings increased 150 basis points during the fourth quarter while the cost of deposits increased 58 basis points. Additionally, our average borrowings increased by $187 million. The increases in yields on interest-earning assets and the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities were due to the significant increases in market interest rates during 2022. The increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets was primarily due to the loan originations during the third and fourth quarters and the growth of investment securities portfolio.

A $3.8 million provision for credit losses was recorded during the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to no provision in the third quarter of 2022. The provision recorded in the fourth quarter was primarily due to the growth in our loan portfolio and a $2.2 million increase in our collateral qualitative factor related to projected declines in future home prices.

The decrease in noninterest income in the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to the third quarter of 2022 was primarily due to a decrease in other income due to a $4.3 million gain on sale of five eastern Washington branches recorded in the third quarter.

The $0.5 million increase in noninterest expense in the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to the third quarter of 2022 was primarily due to higher information services and general, administrative and other costs, which was partially offset by lower compensation and benefit costs. Information service costs increased primarily due to costs associated with replacement and maintenance of our automated teller machines. General, administrative and other costs increased primarily due to higher FDIC fees resulting from our larger asset base. The lower level of compensation and benefit costs reflect a $0.4 million reversal of previously accrued medical benefits related to the positive experience in our self-insured medical program and lower levels of incentive compensation costs.

2022 Compared to 2021

Our net income and income before taxes were $66.5 million and $84.7 million, respectively, in 2022, as compared to $115.4 million and $146.7 million, respectively, in 2021. The $62.0 million decrease in income before taxes was due to a lower recovery of our allowance for credit losses and lower noninterest income, partially offset by higher net interest income and lower noninterest expense.

Our effective tax rate during 2022 was 21.4% as compared to 21.3% in 2021 and our statutory rate of 24.4%. Our effective tax rate was lower than our statutory rate due to the benefits of tax advantaged investments and reductions in taxes on income related to excess tax benefits resulting from the exercise and vesting of stock awards during the periods.

Net interest income in 2022 increased $6.3 million as compared to 2021 due primarily to increases in the average balance of interest earning assets, partially offset by a decrease in our net interest margin. The increase in interest-earning assets was due to loan originations and purchases of investment securities during 2022. Our net interest margin decreased from 3.38% in 2021 to 2.99% in 2022 due to an 81 basis point increase in the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities which was partially offset by a 25 basis point increase in the yield on interest earning assets. The increase in yield on interest-earning assets was due to higher yields on our loans and on our investment securities. The higher yield on our loans was primarily due to yields on adjustable rate loans increasing due to increases in the indexes on which their pricing is based. The higher yield on our investment securities were primarily due to adjustments to yields realized from longer estimated lives of certain securities and the yields of securities purchased during 2022 being higher than the yields on our existing portfolio. The increase in the rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities was due to higher deposit costs, higher borrowing costs and an increase in the proportion of higher cost borrowings used as our sources of funding. The increases in the rates paid on deposits was due to the significant increase in market interest rates during 2022. Our average borrowings increased by $915 million to fund the growth of our loan portfolio and investment securities.Our cost of borrowings increased from 36 basis points during 2021 to 281 basis points during 2022 due to the significant increase in market interest rates during 2022and the impact of the $100 million fixed rate subordinated notes offering completed in January 2022.

As a result of the favorable performance of our loan portfolio, a stable low level of nonperforming assets and an improved outlook of the estimated impact of COVID-19 on our loan portfolio, we recorded a $5.2 million and $15.0 million recovery of our allowance for credit losses in 2022 and 2021, respectively. In 2022, the amounts recovered were partially offset by provisions related to the growth in our loan portfolio and a $2.8 million increase in our collateral qualitative factor related to projected declines in future home prices.

The decrease in noninterest income for 2022 as compared to 2021 was due to a decrease in gain on loan origination and sale activities, which was partially offset by higher loan servicing income. The $74.6 million decrease in gain on loan origination and sale activities was due to a $53.8 million decrease in single family gain on loan origination and sale activities and a $20.8 million decrease in commercial real estate gain on loan origination and sale activities. The decrease in single family gain on loan origination and sale activities was due to a decrease in rate lock volume and margins as a result of the effects of increasing interest rates. The decrease in CRE and commercial gain on loan origination and sale activities was primarily due to an 81% decrease in the volume of loans sold. The $5.2 million increase in loan servicing income was primarily due to lower levels of prepayments which reduced our amortization costs. Included in other income in 2022 is a $4.3 million gain on sale of five eastern Washington branches in the third quarter.

The $9.9 million decrease in noninterest expense in 2022 as compared to 2021 was primarily due to lower compensation and benefit costs, partially offset by increases in general, administrative and other expenses. The $16.5 million decrease in compensation and benefit costs was primarily due to reduced commission expense on lower loan origination volumes in our single family mortgage operations, lower bonus and commissions expense and lower headcount, which were partially offset by wage increases given in 2022. The increase in general, administrative and other costs was primarily due to higher FDIC fees due to our larger asset base and an increase in marketing costs related to our promotional deposit products.

Financial Position

During 2022, our total assets increased $2.2 billion due primarily to a $1.9 billion increase in loans held for investment and a $394 million increase in investment securities which were partially offset by a decrease of $159 million in loans held for sale. Loans held for investment increased due to $3.6 billion of originations, which were partially offset by prepayments and scheduled payments of $1.7 billion. Total liabilities increased $2.3 billion due to increases in deposits, borrowings and long-term debt. Deposits increased $1.3 billion primarily due to increased balances of brokered deposits and certificates of deposit related to our promotional products which was partially offset by decreases in our noninterest bearing and money market deposits. The $975 million increase in borrowings was used to fund the growth in our loans and investment securities. Long-term debt increased due to our $100 million fixed rate subordinated notes offering completed in January 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance.

In this earnings release, we use the following non-GAAP measures: (i) tangible common equity and tangible assets as we believe this information is consistent with the treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which exclude intangible assets from the calculation of capital ratios; and (ii) an efficiency ratio which is the ratio of noninterest expense to the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, excluding certain items of income or expense and excluding taxes incurred and payable to the state of Washington as such taxes are not classified as income taxes and we believe including them in noninterest expense impacts the comparability of our results to those companies whose operations are in states where assessed taxes on business are classified as income taxes.

These supplemental performance measures may vary from, and may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures provided by other companies in our industry. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. A non-GAAP financial measure may also be a financial metric that is not required by GAAP or other applicable requirements.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by providing additional information used by management that is not otherwise required by GAAP or other applicable requirements. Our management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our operating results and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate a comparison of our performance to prior periods. We believe these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the information below, we have provided reconciliations of, where applicable, the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP measures used in this press release, or a reconciliation of the non-GAAP calculation of the financial measure.
