Timberland Bancorp EPS Increases 46% to $1.17 for Fiscal Year 2015
Operating Revenue Increases, Non-Interest Income Increases and Net Loans Outstanding Increases
Announces $0.07 Regular Dividend and $0.05 Special Dividend

HOQUIAM, WA – November 2, 2015 - Timberland Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSBK) (“Timberland” or “the Company”) today reported that solid loan growth and improved asset quality contributed to record fourth quarter profits.  The Company recorded net income of $2.96 million and $8.29 million, respectively, for the quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2015.

Net income per diluted common share increased 83% to $0.42 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 from $0.23 for the comparable quarter one year ago and increased 35% from $0.31 for the quarter immediately prior.  Earnings per diluted common share for the fiscal year just ended increased 46% to $1.17 from $0.80 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.

Timberland’s Board of Directors declared a $0.07 per common share quarterly cash dividend payable on November 30, 2015 to shareholders of record on November 16, 2015.  The Company’s Board of Directors also declared a special one-time dividend of $0.05 per share payable on November 30, 2015 to shareholders of record on November 16, 2015.

“The Company recorded solid core earnings during the September quarter which were increased by approximately $0.14 per share from a loan loss reserve recapture,” stated Michael R. Sand, President and CEO.  “A significant reduction in non-performing assets this quarter, combined with a net recovery of $982,000 and the release of a $1.29 million impairment within the loan loss reserve, moved the reserve into an overfunded position.  As a result, the Company recorded a loan loss reserve recapture of $1.53 million (approximately $1.0 million after tax) for the quarter.  The Company continues to increase operating revenues and net loans outstanding and has increased net income to shareholders annually for five consecutive years.  The Company’s assets increased to $816 million which represents the first time its fiscal year-end assets have exceeded $800 million.  We are pleased with the year over year improvement in the Company’s already solid financial metrics.”

Balance Sheet Management

Total assets increased by $26.0 million, or 3%, to $815.8 million at September 30, 2015, from $789.8 million at June 30, 2015.  The increase was primarily due to a $16.1 million increase in cash and cash equivalents and a $9.1 million increase in net loans receivable.  The increase in total assets was funded primarily by a $24.2 million increase in total deposits.

Liquidity as measured by cash and cash equivalents, CDs held for investment and available for sale investments securities was 19.6% of total liabilities at September 30, 2015, compared to 17.7% at June 30, 2015, and 16.8% one year ago.

Net loans receivable increased $9.1 million, or 2%, to $607.3 million at September 30, 2015, from $598.2 million at June 30, 2015.  The increase was primarily due to an $8.5 million increase in one-to four-family loans, a $1.7 million increase in multi-family loans, a $1.2 million increase in construction and land development loans and a $4.2 million decrease in the undisbursed portion of construction loans in process.  These increases to net loans receivable were partially offset by a $2.5 million decrease in commercial business loans, a $2.2 million decrease in commercial mortgage loans, a $1.4 million decrease in land loans and a $925,000 decrease in consumer loans.

Total deposits increased $24.2 million, or 4%, to $678.9 million at September 30, 2015, from $654.7 million at June 30, 2015.  The increase was primarily due to a $19.3 million increase in non-interest bearing account balances, an $11.9 million increase in N.O.W. checking account balances and a $5.5 million increase in savings account balances.  These increases were partially offset by a $10.6 million decrease in money market account balances and a $1.9 million decrease in certificates of deposit account balances.


Shareholders’ Equity

Total shareholders’ equity increased $1.90 million to $89.19 million at September 30, 2015, from $87.29 million at June 30, 2015.  The increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily due to net income of $2.96 million for the quarter, which was partially offset by share repurchases of $709,000 and dividend payments of $494,000 to shareholders.  Book value per share increased to $12.76 and tangible book value per share increased to $11.95 at September 30, 2015.

During the quarter, Timberland repurchased 64,788 shares of its common stock for $709,000 (an average price of $10.94 per share).  Timberland had 287,893 shares remaining to be purchased on its existing stock repurchase plan at September 30, 2015.

Operating Results

Operating revenue (net interest income before provision for loan losses, plus non-interest income excluding other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charges and gains or losses on sale of investments) increased 2% to $9.70 million for the current quarter from $9.51 million for the preceding quarter and 10% from $8.81 million for the comparable quarter one year ago.  For fiscal year 2015, operating revenue increased 7% to $36.77 million from $34.42 million for fiscal year 2014.

Net interest income increased 1% to $7.03 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, from $6.98 million for the preceding quarter and increased 7% from $6.59 million for the comparable quarter one year ago.  Net interest income was higher during the quarter ended September 30, 2015, primarily due to an increased level of average loans and average interest-earning assets.  The net interest margin for the current quarter decreased to 3.76% from 3.88% for the preceding quarter and from 3.86% for the comparable quarter one year ago.  The net interest margin for the preceding quarter was higher, in part, due to the collection of $159,000 of non-accrual interest, which increased the net interest margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 by approximately nine basis points.  For fiscal year 2015, net interest income increased 5% to $27.28 million from $25.92 million for fiscal year 2014.  Timberland’s net interest margin for year ended September 30, 2015 decreased to 3.80% from 3.84% for the year ended September 30, 2014.

Non-interest income increased 6% to $2.66 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, from $2.52 million in the preceding quarter, and increased 21% from $2.21 million for the comparable quarter one year ago.  The increase in non-interest income compared to the preceding quarter was primarily due to an $81,000 increase in service charges on deposits and smaller increases in several other categories.  For fiscal year 2015 non-interest income increased 12% to $9.52 million from $8.53 million for fiscal year 2014, primarily due to a $597,000 increase in gain on sale of loans and a $228,000 increase in ATM and debit card interchange transaction fees.

Total operating (non-interest) expenses increased 8% to $6.69 million for the fourth fiscal quarter from $6.22 million for the preceding quarter and increased 5% from $6.37 million for the comparable quarter one year ago.  The increased expenses for the current quarter compared to the preceding quarter were primarily due to a $128,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits expense and a $108,000 increase in OREO and other repossessed asset expense.   Also impacting the comparison was a non-recurring gain on the sale of excess land during the preceding quarter which reduced total non-interest expenses by $299,000.  For fiscal year 2015, total operating expenses were virtually unchanged at $25.84 million compared to $25.80 million for fiscal year 2014.

The provision for income taxes increased $436,000 to $1.56 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, from $1.13 million for the preceding quarter, primarily due to increased income before income taxes.  The effective tax rate was 34.6% for the current quarter compared to 34.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.  For fiscal year 2015, the provision for income taxes increased $1.39 million to $4.19 million from $2.80 million for fiscal year 2014, primarily due to higher income before taxes.  The effective tax rate was 33.6% for fiscal year 2015 compared to 32.4% for fiscal year 2014.
