Washington Federal Announces Quarterly Earnings Per Share of $0.95

Washington Federal, Inc. (Nasdaq: WAFD) (the “Company”), parent company of Washington Federal Bank (“WaFd Bank”), today announced quarterly earnings of $65,934,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, an increase of 33.6% from $49,359,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. After the effect of dividends on preferred stock, net income available for common shareholders was $0.95 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to $0.70 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, a $0.25 or 35.7% increase in fully diluted earnings per common share. Return on common shareholders' equity for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was 12.0% compared to 9.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Return on assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was 1.2% compared to 1.0% for the same quarter in the prior year.

During the month of March 2023, the United States saw the 2nd and 3rd largest bank failures in its history due to sudden customer deposit outflows. WaFd Bank had net deposit inflows of $25 million in the same month. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, WaFd Bank had net deposit outflows of $99 million or 0.6% of total deposits. Only 27% of the Bank’s deposits were uninsured as of quarter end, which is a decrease from 31% as of December 31, 2022. The Bank’s held to maturity (“HTM”) investments were $445 million as of March 31, 2023 with a net unrealized loss of $35 million. Although not permitted by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, including these unrealized losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) would result in a ratio of shareholders’ equity to total assets of 10.48%, compared to 10.64%, as reported.

President and Chief Executive Officer Brent J. Beardall commented, “We were disappointed to see the failures of both Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank last quarter. What is most important at this point is customers having confidence in the banking system. It is the job of management, directors and the regulatory agencies to ensure banks are run in a safe and sound manner so that customers do not have to worry. Any losses from bank failures should be absorbed by the FDIC insurance fund and replenished by surviving banks that benefit from the security that comes from FDIC insurance. We are grateful for the trust and confidence our clients have placed in WaFd Bank and work each day to earn that trust by managing the bank for the long-term, which at times translates into accepting less in short-term earnings.

“This is a challenging interest rate environment for bank earnings. Presently, the yield curve is inverted with long-term rates being lower than short-term rates. The degree to which the yield curve is inverted is near a historical high. The 10-year U.S. Treasury rate was recently at 3.35% and the 3-month rate at 4.88%, a 153 basis point inversion, the second largest since 1962, which is as far back as the data is kept. As a result, bank margins are compressing. WaFd saw its net interest margin decrease from 3.69% in the December quarter to 3.51% in the March quarter. While this is a significant decline in margin, the previous quarter had represented a 25-year high in margin for the Bank and our current margin is still meaningfully higher than the 2.90% margin reported in the March 2022 quarter.

“While credit quality remains strong, with delinquent loans representing only 0.2% of total loans, we did experience our first quarterly net charge-off in almost a decade. We are monitoring our portfolio closely for signs of deterioration which we expect will occur as the stress of higher interest rates is realized throughout the economy. With an allowance for loan losses of over $205 million and robust capital, we believe the Bank is well positioned to withstand a credit cycle if that is what materializes over the next few quarters.

“There has been a significant amount of speculation about looming deterioration in the values of commercial real estate as the market adjusts to higher vacancies and capitalization rates. We understand the macro pressures on commercial real estate and believe they will be most acute in the largest metropolitan areas. We are gratified that our loan portfolio is spread over eight western states that are generally experiencing net immigration and strong job growth. Importantly, the Bank has been conservative in its commercial real estate lending requiring substantial equity from borrowers that would absorb the first portion of any losses in value. Based on December 31, 2022 estimates, the average current loan to value ratio of our multifamily loans was 49%, on commercial office 52% and on other commercial real estate 44%.

“Banking is a noble profession that enables consumers to safely manage their savings, businesses to securely pay their obligations and borrowers to conservatively leverage their assets for growth. Despite potential short-term challenges, the economic vitality of the markets we operate in is strong, our bankers are experienced, and we take pride in being a source of strength and consistent support for our clients.”

Total assets were $22.3 billion as of March 31, 2023, compared to $20.8 billion at September 30, 2022, primarily due to the $1.2 billion, or 7.2%, increase in net loans. In addition, cash increased by $434.6 million while investment securities decreased by $62.8 million.

Customer deposits totaled $15.9 billion as of March 31, 2023, a decrease of $168.6 million or 1.1% since September 30, 2022. Transaction accounts decreased by $811.2 million or 6.4% during that period, while time deposits increased $642.6 million or 19.2%. As of March 31, 2023, 74.9% of the Company’s deposits were transaction accounts, down from 79.2% at September 30, 2022. Core deposits, defined as all transaction accounts and time deposits less than $250,000, totaled 92.3% of deposits at March 31, 2023. Our focus historically has been on growing transaction accounts to lessen sensitivity to rising interest rates and manage interest expense, however, the current rate environment has resulted in increased demand for higher yielding deposits.

Borrowings totaled $3.8 billion as of March 31, 2023, an increase from $2.1 billion at September 30, 2022. The effective weighted average interest rate of borrowings was 3.69% as of March 31, 2023, an increase from 2.02% at September 30, 2022.

The Company had loan originations of $1.0 billion for the second fiscal quarter of 2023, compared to $2.2 billion of originations in the same quarter one year ago. Offsetting loan originations in each of these quarters were loan repayments of $1.1 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively. The Company has intentionally slowed new loan production, given the uncertain economic environment, with repayments exceeding originations. Even so, net loans outstanding grew for the quarter due to the funding of construction loans previously originated. Commercial loans represented 73% of all loan originations during the second fiscal quarter of 2023 and consumer loans accounted for the remaining 27%. Commercial loans are preferable as they generally have floating interest rates and shorter durations. The weighted average interest rate on the loan portfolio was 4.96% at March 31, 2023, an increase from 4.25% as of September 30, 2022, due primarily to higher rates on adjustable rate loans as well as higher rates on newly originated loans.

Credit quality is being monitored closely in light of the shifting economic and monetary environment. As of March 31, 2023, non-performing assets remained low from a historical perspective and totaled $46.8 million, or 0.2% of total assets, compared to 0.2% at March 31, 2022 and 0.2% at September 30, 2022. Delinquent loans were 0.2% of total loans at March 31, 2023, compared to 0.3% at March 31, 2022 and 0.2% at September 30, 2022. The allowance for credit losses (including the reserve for unfunded commitments) totaled $206 million as of March 31, 2023, and was 1.0% of gross loans outstanding, as compared to $205 million, or 1.1% of gross loans outstanding, at September 30, 2022. Net charge-offs were $5.9 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2023, compared to net recoveries of $0.5 million for the prior year same quarter.

The Company recorded a $3.5 million provision for credit losses in the second fiscal quarter of 2023, compared to a $0.5 million release of allowance for credit losses in the same quarter of fiscal 2022. The provision in the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to growth in net loans receivable combined with the changing economic outlook amid concerns around a looming recession and recent macro-economic events.

The Company paid a quarterly dividend on the 4.875% Series A preferred stock on January 15, 2023. On March 10, 2023, the Company paid a regular cash dividend on common stock of $0.25 per share, which represented the 160th consecutive quarterly cash dividend. Tangible common shareholders' equity per share increased by $1.36, or 5.3%, to $26.85 since September 30, 2022. The ratio of total tangible shareholders' equity to tangible assets was 9.4% as of March 31, 2023.

Net interest income was $175.0 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2023, an increase of $40.0 million or 29.6% from the same quarter in the prior year. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase in the interest rate spread of 28 basis points. This was the result of the increase of 187 basis points in the average rate earned on interest-earning assets outpacing the 159 basis point increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin improved to 3.51% in the second fiscal quarter of 2023 compared to 2.90% for the prior year quarter.

Total other income was $10.1 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2023 compared to $15.7 million in the prior year same quarter. The decrease in other income was primarily due to unrealized gains of $1.2 million for certain equity investments which were recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2022. There were unrealized losses of $4.0 million on the same investments in the quarter ended March 31, 2023. In addition, loan fee income decreased by $1.8 million when compared to the same quarter in the prior year due to a reduction in loan production. Originations for the second fiscal quarter of 2023 were $1.0 billion compared to $2.2 billion in the prior year same quarter.

Total other expense was $96.9 million in the second fiscal quarter of 2023, an increase of $8.5 million, or 9.6%, from the prior year's quarter. Compensation and benefits costs increased by $4.3 million, or 9.2%, over the prior year quarter primarily due to annual merit increases and investments in talent, strategic initiatives and a reduction in capitalized compensation as loan originations have decreased. Merger related expenses of $1.2 million were also included in total other expense. Despite these increases, the Company’s efficiency ratio in the second fiscal quarter of 2023 improved to 52.3%, compared to 58.7% for the same period one year ago as a result of income growth outpacing expense growth.

Income tax expense totaled $18.6 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2023, as compared to $13.6 million for the prior year same quarter. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was 22.00% compared to 21.60% in the prior year same quarter and 21.23% for the year ended September 30, 2022. The Company’s effective tax rate varies from the statutory rate mainly due to state taxes, tax-exempt income, tax-credit investments and miscellaneous non-deductible expenses.
