Banner Corporation First Quarter Net Income Increases to $23.8 Million, or $0.72 per Diluted Share;

Total Assets Surpass $10 Billion

Walla Walla, WA - April 24, 2017 - Banner Corporation (NASDAQ GSM: BANR), the parent company of Banner Bank and Islanders Bank, today reported continued strong revenue generation contributed to solid first quarter 2017 operating results. Net income in the first quarter of 2017 increased 4% to $23.8 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, compared to $22.8 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, in the preceding quarter and increased 34% compared to $17.8 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, in the first quarter a year ago. The current quarter results did not include any acquisition-related expenses. The results for the preceding quarter included $788,000 of acquisition-related expenses which, net of tax benefit, reduced net income by $0.02 per diluted share, while operating results in the first quarter a year ago included $6.8 million of acquisition-related expenses which, net of tax benefit, reduced net income by $0.13 per diluted share.

“During the first quarter of 2017 we continued to improve our operating performance, with good loan origination and core deposit growth as well as continued strong core revenues,” stated Mark J. Grescovich, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We also benefited from the very positive economic conditions in our market areas, as well as the successful integration of the AmericanWest Bank acquisition, which has made a dramatic impact on our scale and reach and is providing enhanced opportunities for client and revenue growth. During the first quarter, we crossed the threshold of $10 billion in total assets and again incurred increased expenses related to enhanced infrastructure and regulatory compliance costs. While increasing regulatory costs are a significant headwind, through the hard work of our employees, we are continuing to execute our strategies to deliver revenue growth, sustainable profitability and increasing value to our shareholders.”

At March 31, 2017, Banner Corporation had $10.07 billion in assets, $7.33 billion in net loans and $8.42 billion in deposits. Banner operates 190 branch offices located in nine of the top 20 largest western Metropolitan Statistical Areas by population.

Income Statement Review

Banner’s first quarter net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, decreased slightly to $94.9 million, compared to $97.2 million in the preceding quarter. First quarter 2017 net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, increased 4% compared to $91.0 million in the first quarter a year ago.

“Our net interest margin decreased seven basis points compared to the preceding quarter, largely as a result of decreased accretion from acquisition accounting loan discounts,” said Grescovich. "In addition, in the preceding quarter our loan yields and the net interest margin were elevated as a result of significant prepayment fees on a single large credit relationship. Excluding the impact of acquisition accounting, the net interest margin increased two basis points compared to the preceding quarter, and increased by 14 basis points compared to a year ago.*”

Net interest margin is enhanced by the amortization of acquisition accounting discounts on loans acquired in the acquisitions, which are accreted into loan interest income, as well as by net premiums on non-market-rate certificate of deposit liabilities assumed, which are amortized as a reduction to deposit interest expense. Banner's net interest margin was 4.25% for the first quarter of 2017, which included eight basis points as a result of accretion from acquisition accounting loan discounts, one basis point from the amortization of deposit premiums and one basis point as a result of the impact of the net loan acquisition discounts on average earning assets. The net interest margin was 4.32% in the preceding quarter and 4.13% in the first quarter a year ago. Excluding the effects of acquisition accounting, the net interest margin was 4.15%* in the first quarter, 4.13%* in the preceding quarter and 4.01%* in the first quarter a year ago.

Average interest-earning asset yields decreased five basis points to 4.44% compared to 4.49% for the preceding quarter and increased 12 basis points compared to 4.32% in the first quarter a year ago. Average loan yields decreased 13 basis points to 4.80% compared to the preceding quarter, reflecting significantly less discount accretion, but increased two basis points from the first quarter a year ago. Accretion of the acquisition accounting discounts added 11 basis points to loan yields in the current quarter compared to 21 basis points in the preceding quarter and 12 basis points in the first quarter a year ago. Deposit costs increased one basis point to 0.14% compared to the preceding quarter and decreased one basis point compared to the first quarter a year ago. Amortization of acquisition accounting net premiums on certificates of deposit reduced the cost of deposits by one basis point in the first quarter of 2017, compared to two basis points in the preceding quarter and two basis points in the first quarter a year ago. The total cost of funds increased two basis points to 0.20% during the first quarter compared to the preceding quarter and was unchanged compared to the first quarter a year ago.

“As expected, due to the addition of new loans and the renewal of acquired loans out of the discounted loan portfolio, we recorded a $2.0 million provision for loan losses during the first quarter, the same as in the preceding quarter,” added Grescovich. "While our asset quality metrics remain exceptionally good, adding to the loan loss allowance as the acquisition accounting discounts are accreted to income and growth in new and renewed loans occurs will likely continue as we strive to maintain an appropriate level of reserves and maintain a moderate risk profile." In the first quarter a year ago, Banner did not record a provision.

Reflecting seasonal trends and the adverse impact of higher interest rates, mortgage banking revenues, including gains on one- to four-family and multifamily loan sales and loan servicing fees, decreased to $4.6 million in the first quarter compared to $5.1 million in the preceding quarter and $5.6 million in the first quarter of 2016. Sales of multifamily loans in the current quarter resulted in gains of $70,000, while sales of multifamily loans generated $254,000 of gains in the preceding quarter. Home purchase activity accounted for 64% of first quarter one- to four-family mortgage banking loan originations.

Banner’s deposit fees and other service charges were $12.2 million in the first quarter, which was unchanged compared to the preceding quarter and increased 3% compared to $11.8 million in the first quarter a year ago.

Miscellaneous income for the current quarter included a one-time gain of $2.5 million on the sale of a single loan that had been acquired a number of years ago as a partial settlement on a non-performing credit relationship and was carried at a significant discount to its contractual loan amount and eventual sales price.

First quarter 2017 results included a $688,000 net loss for fair value adjustments as a result of changes in the valuation of financial instruments carried at fair value that was partly offset by a $13,000 net gain on the sale of securities. In the preceding quarter, results included a $1.1 million net loss for fair value adjustments that was partly offset by a $311,000 net gain on the sale of securities. In the first quarter a year ago, results included a $29,000 net gain for fair value adjustments and a $21,000 net gain on the sale of securities.

Total revenues were $115.7 million for the first quarter of 2017, compared to $116.6 million in the preceding quarter and $111.0 million in the first quarter a year ago. Revenues from core operations* (revenues excluding gains and losses on the sale of securities and net change in valuation of financial instruments) was $116.4 million in the first quarter of 2017, compared to $117.5 million in the preceding quarter and increased 5% compared to $111.0 million in the first quarter of 2016.

Total non-interest income, which includes the changes in the valuation of financial instruments carried at fair value and gains and losses on the sale of securities, was $20.8 million in the first quarter of 2017, compared to $19.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 and $20.0 million in the first quarter a year ago. Non-interest income from core operations,* which excludes gains and losses on sale of securities and net changes in the valuation of financial instruments, was $21.5 million in the first quarter of 2017, compared to $20.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2017 and $19.9 million in the first quarter a year ago.

Banner’s total non-interest expenses were $78.1 million in the first quarter of 2017, compared to $79.9 million in the preceding quarter and $84.0 million in the first quarter of 2016. The current quarter's non-interest expenses included increased compensation and employee benefit expense, elevated costs

for professional services largely as result of enhanced regulatory compliance requirements and additional charges for customer refunds related to prior periods, which were generally offset compared to the preceding quarter by reductions in other expenses and a $1.2 million gain on the sale of real estate owned reflected in real estate operations. Miscellaneous expenses for the current quarter included accruals of $865,000 for customer refunds for deposit fees that we determined should not have been charged during a six-year period from 2010 to 2015, which was more than offset by the release of a $1.2 million reserve for possible credit losses on an unfunded commitment for a credit relationship that was terminated. There were no acquisition-related expenses in the current quarter compared to $788,000 in the preceding quarter and $6.8 million in the first quarter a year ago.

For the first quarter of 2017, Banner recorded $11.8 million in state and federal income tax expense for an effective tax rate of 33.2%, which reflects normal statutory tax rates reduced by the effect of tax-exempt income and certain tax credits.

Balance Sheet Review

Banner’s total assets increased to $10.07 billion at March 31, 2017, from $9.79 billion at December 31, 2016 and $9.75 billion a year ago. The total of securities and interest-bearing deposits held at other banks was $1.62 billion at March 31, 2017, compared to $1.16 billion at December 30, 2016 and $1.59 billion a year ago. The increase in the securities portfolio during the current quarter reflects Banner's renewed leveraging strategy as it crossed the $10 billion assets threshold. In the third and fourth quarters of 2016, Banner reduced its holdings of securities and use of wholesale funding to ensure that it remained below $10 billion in total assets at December 31, 2016. The average effective duration of Banner's securities portfolio was approximately 3.8 years at March 31, 2017, compared to 2.9 years at March 31, 2016.

“Net loans decreased slightly during the quarter, but were up 3% year over year, with good production in targeted loan types, including increases in commercial real estate and construction and development loans,” said Grescovich. “We continue to see significant potential for growth in our loan origination pipelines.”

Net loans receivable decreased slightly to $7.33 billion at March 31, 2017, compared to $7.37 billion at December 31, 2016, largely as a result of seasonal factors and continuing repayments on one- to four-family loans, but increased 3% compared to $7.11 billion a year ago. Commercial real estate and multifamily real estate loans increased modestly to $3.63 billion at March 31, 2017, compared to $3.59 billion at December 31, 2016, and increased 5% compared to $3.44 billion a year ago. Commercial business loans increased slightly to $1.22 billion at March 31, 2017, compared to $1.21 billion three months earlier and were unchanged compared to a year ago. Agricultural business loans, which are seasonal by nature, decreased to $313.4 million at March 31, 2017, compared to $369.2 million three months earlier and $340.4 million a year ago. Total construction, land and land development loans decreased to $803.7 million at March 31, 2017, compared to $823.1 million at December 31, 2016, but increased 27% compared to $632.1 million a year earlier. One- to four-family loans continued to decline as a result of repayments, with nearly all newly originated mortgage loans being sold in the secondary market.

Loans held for sale decreased significantly to $86.7 million at March 31, 2017, compared to $246.4 million at December 31, 2016, largely due to the sale of $200.7 million of multifamily loans during the first quarter. Loans held for sale were $47.5 million at March 31, 2016. Loans held for sale at March 31, 2017, included $72.5 million of multifamily loans and $14.2 million of one- to four-family loans.

Total deposits were $8.42 billion at March 31, 2017, a 4% increase compared to $8.12 billion at December 31, 2016, and a 5% increase compared to $8.03 billion a year ago. Non-interest-bearing account balances increased 6% to $3.21 billion at March 31, 2017, compared to $3.04 billion a year ago. Interest-bearing transaction and savings accounts increased 10% to $4.06 billion compared to $3.71 billion a year ago. Certificates of deposit decreased 11% to $1.14 billion at March 31, 2017, compared to $1.29 billion a year earlier. Brokered deposits totaled $171.5 million at March 31, 2017, compared to $34.1 million at December 31, 2016 and $135.6 million a year ago. Brokered deposits increased in the current quarter in connection with Banner's leveraging strategy as higher yielding investment securities were purchased and total assets were allowed to increase above the $10 billion threshold.

Reflecting additional account growth as well as increased balances for existing clients, core deposits (non-interest bearing and interest-bearing transaction and savings accounts) increased by 3% during the current quarter. Core deposits represented 86% of total deposits at March 31, 2017, compared to 87% of total deposits at December 31, 2016, and 84% of total deposits a year earlier. The average cost of deposits was 0.14% for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, a one basis point increase compared to the preceding quarter, and a one basis point decline compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

At March 31, 2017, total common shareholders' equity was $1.32 billion, or $39.92 per share, compared to $1.31 billion at December 31, 2016 and $1.32 billion a year ago. During the quarter Banner declared and accrued a $0.25 per share quarterly dividend. At March 31, 2017, tangible common shareholders' equity*, which excludes goodwill and other intangible assets, was $1.05 billion, or 10.72% of tangible assets*, compared to $1.03 billion, or 10.83% of tangible assets, at December 31, 2016, and $1.04 billion, or 10.98% of tangible assets, a year ago. Banner's tangible book value per share* increased to $31.68 at March 31, 2017, compared to $30.38 per share a year ago.

Banner Corporation and its subsidiary banks continue to maintain capital levels in excess of the requirements to be categorized as “well-capitalized” under the Basel III and Dodd Frank regulatory standards. At March 31, 2017, Banner Corporation's common equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 11.46%, its Tier 1 leverage capital to average assets ratio was 11.79%, and its total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 13.85%.

Credit Quality

In accordance with acquisition accounting, loans acquired from AmericanWest Bank and Siuslaw Bank were recorded at their estimated fair value, which resulted in a net discount to the loans’ contractual amounts, a portion of which reflects a discount for possible credit losses. Credit discounts are included in the determination of fair value, and as a result, no allowance for loan and lease losses is recorded for acquired loans at the acquisition date. Although the discount recorded on the acquired loans is not reflected in the allowance for loan losses or related allowance coverage ratios, we believe it should be considered when comparing the current ratios to similar ratios in periods prior to the acquisitions of AmericanWest Bank and Siuslaw Bank.

The allowance for loan losses was $86.5 million at March 31, 2017, or 1.17% of total loans outstanding and 479% of non-performing loans compared to $78.2 million at March 31, 2016, or 1.09% of total loans outstanding and 501% of non-performing loans. Banner had net charge-offs of $1.5 million in the first quarter compared to net charge-offs of $253,000 in the fourth quarter of 2016 and net recoveries of $189,000 in the first quarter a year ago.

Primarily as a result of the addition of new loans and the renewal of acquired loans out of the discounted loan portfolio, Banner recorded a $2.0 million provision for loan losses in the current quarter which was the same amount as recorded in the prior quarter. Banner did not record a provision for the first quarter of 2016. If the allowance for loan losses included the remaining loan discount*, the adjusted allowance for loan losses to adjusted loans would have been 1.56% as of March 31, 2017 as compared to 1.67% a year ago. Non-performing loans were $18.1 million at March 31, 2017, compared to $22.6 million at December 31, 2016 and $15.6 million a year ago. Real estate owned and other repossessed assets were $3.2 million at March 31, 2017, compared to $11.2 million at December 31, 2016, and $7.4 million a year ago.

Banner's non-performing assets were $21.3 million, or 0.21% of total assets, at March 31, 2017, compared to $33.8 million, or 0.35% of total assets, at December 31, 2016 and $23.0 million, or 0.24% of total assets, a year ago. In addition to non-performing assets, purchased credit-impaired loans decreased to $30.5 million at March 31, 2017, compared to $32.3 million at December 31, 2016, and $53.3 million a year ago.
