Sioux Falls, SD - January 27, 2016 - Great Western Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: GWB) today reported net income of $30.5 million, or $0.55 per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, compared to net income of $26.7 million, or $0.46 per share, for the same quarter of fiscal year 2015. The increase was driven by higher net interest income, primarily attributable to robust loan growth, and a reduction in noninterest expense, resulting in a 45.1% efficiency ratio1.
"Today we are delivering a strong start to our new fiscal year with this net income result," said Ken Karels, President and Chief Executive Officer. "As always, we are focused on delivering profitable balance sheet growth and controlling our expense base. Both of these goals are evident in our results for the quarter."
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin2
Net interest income was $87.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, an increase of $3.4 million, or 4.0%, compared to the same quarter in fiscal year 2015. The increase was driven by higher loan interest income attributable to loan growth and lower deposit interest expense resulting from a lower cost of deposits.
Net interest margin was 3.98%, 3.98% and 3.91%, respectively, for the quarters ended December 31, 2015, September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Adjusted net interest margin1, which adjusts for the realized gain (loss) on interest rate swaps, was 3.73%, 3.72% and 3.67%, respectively, for the same periods. Net interest margin and adjusted net interest margin1 were 7 and 6 basis points higher, respectively, compared to the same quarter of fiscal year 2015, primarily as a result of a 3 basis point decrease in cost of deposits and a change in asset mix away from lower-yielding cash. On a sequential quarter basis, the yield on total loans and the cost of deposits remained stable at 4.85% and 0.30%, respectively, while yield on investment securities increased by 6 basis points and cost of borrowings increased by 20 basis points, contributing to a 1 basis point increase in adjusted net interest margin1 and a stable net interest margin.
Loan growth during the quarter ended December 31, 2015 was $205.5 million, or 2.8%. Growth was again focused in the agriculture ($107.8 million or 5.8% growth) and commercial real estate (i.e. CRE, $116.3 million or 4.1% growth) segments of the portfolio. Consistent with prior years, a portion of the growth in agriculture loan balances at the end of the calendar year represents certain customers' tax planning strategies and we anticipate repayment in the first calendar quarter of 2016. The majority of CRE loan growth was driven by construction and development lending as demand for commercial investment continues to be strong in many of the Company's key markets and a relatively mild winter is allowing more construction activity than normal in certain geographic areas. The net growth in construction and development lending represents a diverse range of projects with a continued focus on limiting exposure to land development and other projects that are speculative in nature. Overall, loan growth continues to be focused on the commercial and agriculture segments of the portfolio, in line with strategy.

Exhibit 99.1
Total deposits grew by $275.6 million, or 3.7%, during the quarter. Deposit growth occurred within noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing transaction, savings and money market accounts, partially offset by a continued decline in higher cost time deposits and was balanced across commercial and consumer accounts. FHLB and other borrowings were reduced by $130.0 million or 22.4% as a result of deposit growth during the quarter and a small reduction in the balance of cash and due from banks.
Provision for Loan Losses and Asset Quality
Provision for loan losses was $3.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, compared to $3.3 million in the same quarter of fiscal year 2015. Net charge-offs for the quarter were negligible, comprised of $0.8 million of recoveries and $0.7 million of charge-offs. For the comparable period in fiscal year 2015, a net recovery of $1.0 million was recognized. The ratio of ALLL to total loans was 0.81% at December 31, 2015, up from 0.78% at September 30, 2015 and 0.74% at December 31, 2014. Both the specific and general portions of the ALLL increased during the quarter with a portion of the growth in the general ALLL attributable to net loan growth.
At December 31, 2015, nonaccrual loans were $54.4 million, with $4.9 million of the balance covered by FDIC loss-sharing arrangements. Total nonaccrual loans decreased by $13.9 million during the quarter and by $14.1 million compared to same quarter in fiscal year 2015. The decrease is primarily due to one significant payoff in the commercial non-real estate portfolio of $7.2 million and partial payments totaling $6.7 million within the agriculture portfolio. Total OREO balances were $15.5 million as of December 31, 2015, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 2.4%, compared to September 30, 2015 and a decrease of $27.9 million, or 64.3%, compared to December 31, 2014.
Loans graded "Watch" were $298.6 million at December 31, 2015, a decrease of $11.8 million, or 3.8%, compared to September 30, 2015, while loans graded "Substandard" increased by $46.3 million, or 25.2%, to $229.9 million. Agriculture Substandard loans increased by $46.7 million and CRE Substandard loans increased by $14.9 million, partially offset by a $15.4 million decrease in commercial non-real estate Substandard loans. The increase in Substandard loans is primarily comprised of a small number of larger credits, which in most instances represents the progression of assets that generated elevated Watch loans in fiscal year 2015 through the workout process. Management continues to believe that strong secondary sources of payment exist for the majority of Substandard loans, providing additional safeguards in the event that customers' operating cash flows cease to cover debt service obligations.
Total credit-related charges increased compared to the previous quarter, but decreased significantly compared to the same quarter in fiscal year 2015. A summary of total credit-related charges incurred during the current, prior and comparable quarters is presented below:

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income was $8.6 million for the first quarter ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $0.7 million, or 9.4%, compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2015. Included within noninterest income are the changes in fair value of certain loans for which the Company has elected the fair value option and the net gain (loss), realized and unrealized, of the related derivatives used to manage the interest rate risk on these loans. On a net basis, these two components of noninterest income accounted for an increase of $2.0 million, while noninterest income from product and service fees declined by $1.3 million. The Company recognized a total write-off of $0.4 million on two security holdings, while wealth management income and gain on sale of loans (i.e., mortgage) each declined by $0.3 million compared to the same quarter in fiscal year 2015. Deposit

service charges increased by $0.1 million on the strength of commercial deposit service charges and interchange income, partially offset by lower overdraft/non-sufficient funds income.
Noninterest Expense
Total noninterest expense was $44.2 million for the first quarter ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of $2.9 million, or 6.1%, compared to the same quarter in fiscal year 2015. The decrease in noninterest expense was primarily driven by a $2.0 million reduction in repossessed property and other related expenses (i.e., "OREO") and a $1.6 million reduction in scheduled amortization of intangible assets, partially offset by a $1.2 million increase in salaries and employee benefits. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was driven by the increased costs of certain roles related to operating as a public company, a net increase in the number of business (including agriculture) bankers and higher health insurance costs. Occupancy, communication and professional fee expenses decreased, while data processing expenses increased.
The efficiency ratio1 was 45.1% for the quarter, compared to 48.5% for the same quarter of fiscal year 2015.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the first quarter ended December 31, 2015 was $16.0 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 34.5% of income before income taxes. This compares to an effective tax rate of 33.9% for the first quarter of fiscal year 2015 and an effective tax rate of 29.6% for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, which was significantly lower due to a $1.7 million nonrecurring item related to the resolution of a deferred tax item.
Capital
Tier 1 and total capital ratios were 10.9% and 12.2%, respectively, as of December 31, 2015, compared to 10.9% and 12.1%, respectively, as of September 30, 2015. The common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 10.2% as of December 31, 2015 and 10.1% as of September 30, 2015. The tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.4% as of December 31, 2015 and 9.1% as of September 30, 2015. All regulatory capital ratios remain above regulatory minimums to be considered "well capitalized."
On January 27, 2016, the Company’s board of directors declared a dividend of $0.14 per common share payable on February 23, 2016 to owners of record as of close of business on February 11, 2016. The aggregate dividend payment will be approximately $7.7 million.
Business Outlook
"We are pleased with the business momentum and results that we delivered for the first quarter of the fiscal year," added Karels. "We continue to expect some volatility in loan balances through the remainder of the year, but remain optimistic that we will be able to deliver mid- to high-single digit loan growth for the full year. Furthermore, we are excited to continue the process of obtaining the appropriate approvals and look forward to integrating Home Federal Bank into our operations, adding size, scope and scale to what we already to do serve our customers every day, without distracting us from serving our existing customers."

Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliation
We rely on certain non-GAAP measures in making financial and operational decisions about our business. We believe that each of the non-GAAP measures presented is helpful in highlighting trends in our business, financial condition and results of operations which might not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on our financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.
In particular, we evaluate our profitability and performance based on our cash net income and return on average tangible common equity, each of which excludes the effects of amortization expense relating to intangible assets and related tax effects

Exhibit 99.1
from the acquisition of us by National Australia Bank Limited and our acquisitions of other institutions. We believe these measures help highlight trends associated with our financial condition and results of operations by providing net income and return information based on our cash payments and receipts during the applicable period.
We also evaluate our profitability and performance based on our adjusted net interest income, adjusted net interest margin, adjusted interest income on loans other than loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality and adjusted yield on loans other than loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality. We adjust each of these four measures to include the current realized gain (loss) of derivatives we use to manage interest rate risk on certain of our loans, which we believe economically offsets the interest income earned on the loans. Similarly, we evaluate our operational efficiency based on our efficiency ratio, which excludes the effect of amortization of core deposit and other intangibles (a non-cash expense item) and includes the tax benefit associated with our tax-advantaged loans.
We evaluate our financial condition based on the ratio of our tangible common equity to our tangible assets. Our calculation of this ratio excludes the effect of our goodwill and other intangible assets. We believe this measure is helpful in highlighting the common equity component of our capital and because of its focus by federal bank regulators when reviewing the health and strength of financial institutions in recent years and when considering regulatory approvals for certain actions, including capital actions.
Reconciliations for each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the closest GAAP financial measures are included in the tables below. Each of the non-GAAP measures presented should be considered in context with our GAAP financial results included in this release.
