Banner Corporation Reports First Quarter Net Income of $28.8 Million, or $0.89 Per Diluted Share;
Highlighted by Strong Deposit Growth, Net Interest Margin Expansion and Solid Revenue Generation;

Walla Walla, WA - April 23, 2018 - Banner Corporation (NASDAQ GSM: BANR), the parent company of Banner Bank and Islanders Bank, today reported that strong core deposit growth, a re-leveraged balance sheet and improved net interest margin contributed to continued solid revenue generation, which coupled with a significantly lower federal tax rate, resulted in substantially increased first quarter 2018 financial results. Net income in the first quarter of 2018 increased 21% to $28.8 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, compared to $23.8 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, in the first quarter a year ago. In the preceding quarter, following a revaluation of deferred tax assets due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act resulting in an additional tax expense of $42.6 million, or $1.30 per diluted share, Banner reported a net loss of $13.5 million, or $0.41 per diluted share.
“Banner’s first quarter operating performance continues to reflect the success of our proven client acquisition strategies, which are producing strong core earnings and a healthy net interest margin,” stated Mark J. Grescovich, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are benefiting from the successful integration of our recent acquisitions, which have had a dramatic impact on the scale and reach of the company and are providing a great opportunity for revenue growth. Our larger and improved earning asset mix as well as higher asset yields and stable funding costs have resulted in an expanded net interest margin and increased net interest income. We also continued to enjoy strong deposit fee and service charge income and stable mortgage banking revenues. Overall, these factors contributed to a return on average assets of 1.16% for the quarter. Based on this solid performance, coupled with our strong tangible common equity ratio of 9.82%*, we increased our cash dividend in the quarter by 40% to $0.35 per share and repurchased nearly 270,000 shares of common stock.”
At March 31, 2018, Banner Corporation had $10.32 billion in assets, $7.46 billion in net loans and $8.54 billion in deposits. Banner operates 178 branch offices located in eight of the top 20 largest western Metropolitan Statistical Areas by population.

Principles) financial measures. Management has presented these non-GAAP financial measures in this earnings release because it believes that they provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in Banner's core operations reflected in the current quarter's results and facilitate the comparison of our performance with the performance of our peers. Where applicable, comparable earnings information using GAAP financial measures is also presented. See also Non-GAAP Financial Measures reconciliation tables on the last two pages of this press release.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2017 Consolidated Financial Statements and/or schedules to conform to the 2018 presentation. These reclassifications have affected certain line items and ratios for the prior periods but have not changed net income or shareholders’ equity for those periods. The effect of these reclassifications is considered immaterial.
Significant Recent Initiatives and Events
On October 6, 2017, Banner Bank completed the sale of its seven branches and related assets and liabilities in Utah to People’s Intermountain Bank, a banking subsidiary of People’s Utah Bancorp (NASDAQ: PUB). Under the terms of the purchase and assumption agreement, the sale included $253.8 million in loans and $160.3 million in deposits.
During the fourth quarter of 2017, Banner recorded a one-time net tax charge of $42.6 million, or $1.30 per diluted share, related to the revaluation of deferred tax items as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This increase in income tax expense was reflected in operating results for the fourth quarter of 2017 and was in addition to the normal provision for income tax related to pre-tax net operating income.
In addition, during the fourth quarter Banner implemented a number of strategic balance sheet initiatives designed to keep its assets below $10 billion at December 31, 2017, in order to postpone the adverse impact of certain enhanced regulatory requirements and the Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act limits on, among other things, debit card interchange fees. As previously disclosed, based on current debit card transaction volumes, Banner anticipates that the Durbin Amendment will have a $12 million annualized negative impact on pre-tax revenues commencing in July 2019. In December 2017, Banner sold approximately $470 million of investment securities in the available-for-sale portfolio, using the proceeds to fund loan originations and to pay down certain wholesale borrowings and maturing brokered deposits. Banner incurred pre-tax net losses of $2.3 million in connection with the sale of these investment securities, which produced tax benefits based upon the 2017 marginal federal income tax rate of 35%. The net interest income on investment securities beginning in 2018 was subject to the new lower marginal corporate federal income tax rate. In recent periods Banner has incurred a blended effective federal and state tax rate of 33% to 34%. As a result of the reduced marginal federal tax rate, Banner anticipates that its blended effective federal and state tax rate will be approximately 22% to 23% in 2018.
Income Statement Review
“Our net interest margin increased substantially during the quarter as we benefited from increased market interest rates which produced higher yields on loans while deposit costs remained nearly unchanged. Our net interest margin and net interest income also increased as a result of re-leveraging the balance sheet with higher-yielding securities,” said Grescovich. Banner's net interest margin was 4.35% for the first quarter of 2018, a 17 basis point improvement compared to 4.18% in the preceding quarter and a ten basis point improvement compared to 4.25% in the first quarter a year ago. Acquisition accounting adjustments, principally loan discount accretion, added eight basis points to the net interest margin in the current quarter compared to five basis points in the preceding quarter and ten basis points in the first quarter a year ago. The total purchase discount for acquired loans was $19.4 million at March 31, 2018, a decrease from $21.1 million at December 31, 2017 and $29.4 million a year ago, primarily as a result of discount accretion.
Average interest-earning asset yields increased 19 basis points to 4.59% compared to 4.40% for the preceding quarter and increased 15 basis points compared to 4.44% in the first quarter a year ago. Average loan yields increased 16 basis points to 4.98% compared to the preceding quarter and increased 18 basis points from the first quarter a year ago. Loan discount accretion added ten basis points to loan yields in the first quarter, compared to six basis points in the preceding quarter and 11 basis points in the first quarter a year ago. Deposit costs were 0.16% in the first quarter, a one basis point increase compared to the preceding quarter and a two basis point increase compared to the first quarter a year ago. The total cost of funds was 0.25% during the first quarter, a two basis point increase compared to the preceding quarter and a five basis point increase compared to the first quarter a year ago largely reflecting increased borrowing costs.
Primarily as a result of the origination of new loans and the renewal of acquired loans out of the discounted acquired loan portfolio, Banner recorded a $2.0 million provision for loan losses during the first quarter, the same as in both the preceding and year ago quarters as credit quality metrics remained very good.
Deposit fees and other service charges were $11.3 million in the first quarter, compared to $10.8 million in the preceding quarter and $10.4 million in the first quarter a year ago. Mortgage banking revenues, including gains on one- to four-family and multifamily loan sales and loan servicing fees, decreased modestly to $4.9 million in the first quarter compared to $5.0 million in the preceding quarter and increased compared to $4.6 million in the first quarter of 2017. Home purchase activity accounted for 72% of first quarter 2018 one- to four-family mortgage loan originations.
First quarter 2018 results included a $3.3 million net gain for fair value adjustments as a result of changes in the valuation of financial instruments carried at fair value, principally certain investment securities held for trading. In the preceding quarter, results included a $1.0 million net loss for fair value adjustments and a $2.3 million net loss on the sale of securities. In the first quarter a year ago, results included a $688,000 net loss for fair value adjustments that was partially offset by a $13,000 net gain on the sale of securities. Following the adoption of new accounting guidance, beginning in the current quarter we no longer reflect changes in the fair value of our junior subordinated debentures related to instrument-specific credit risk in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, but rather report those changes in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and include them in total shareholders’ equity in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
Total revenues decreased 4% to $120.7 million for the first quarter of 2018, compared to $125.9 million in the preceding quarter which included a $12.2 million gain on the sale of our Utah branches, and increased 6% compared to $113.9 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 and in the preceding quarter the gain

on sale of the Utah branches) increased to $117.4 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $117.1 million in the preceding quarter, and $114.6 million in the first quarter of 2017.
Total non-interest income, which includes the changes in the valuation of financial instruments carried at fair value, gains and losses on the sale of securities, and the fourth quarter 2017 gain on sale of the Utah branches, was $21.4 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $27.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 and $19.0 million in the first quarter a year ago. Non-interest income from core operations,* which excludes gains and losses on sale of securities, net changes in the valuation of financial instruments and the fourth quarter 2017 gain on sale of the Utah branches, was $18.1 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $18.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2017 and $19.7 million in the first quarter a year ago.
Banner’s total non-interest expense was $81.7 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $82.5 million in the preceding quarter and $76.3 million in the first quarter of 2017. In addition to normal wage increases, the current and preceding quarter's non-interest expenses included increased salary and employee benefits as compared to the first quarter a year ago largely due to enhanced regulatory requirements attributable to compliance and risk management infrastructure build-out. Similarly, all three quarters presented included, elevated costs for professional services related to these compliance and risk management activities.
For the first quarter of 2018, Banner recorded $8.2 million in state and federal income tax expense for an effective tax rate of 22.3%, reflecting the new lower federal corporate income tax rate. For the fourth quarter of 2017, Banner recorded $55.0 million in state and federal income tax expense, which, in addition to the normal provision for income taxes related to pre-tax income, included a $42.6 million net charge related to the revaluation of its deferred tax assets and liabilities as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act as well as a net credit of $1.7 million for the release of a valuation reserve on an acquisition-related net operating loss carryforward deferred tax asset.
Balance Sheet Review
Banner’s total assets were $10.32 billion at March 31, 2018, compared to $9.76 billion at December 31, 2017, and $10.07 billion at March 31, 2017. The total of securities and interest-bearing deposits held at other banks was $1.75 billion at March 31, 2018, compared to $1.26 billion at December 31, 2017 and $1.62 billion at March 31, 2017. The increase in the securities portfolio during the current quarter reflects Banner's renewed leveraging strategy as it crossed the $10 billion in total assets threshold. In the fourth quarters of 2017, 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, 2017, to postpone the adverse impact of the Durbin Amendment. The average effective duration of Banner's securities portfolio was approximately 3.9 years at March 31, 2018, compared to 3.8 years at March 31, 2017.
Net loans receivable decreased to $7.46 billion at March 31, 2018, compared to $7.51 billion at December 31, 2017; however, despite the sale of our Utah branches, which included the sale of $253.8 million of loans during the preceding quarter, net loans increased 2% compared to $7.33 billion a year ago. Commercial real estate and multifamily real estate loans decreased slightly to $3.48 billion at March 31, 2018, compared to $3.54 billion at December 31, 2017, and $3.63 billion a year ago, as we experienced significant payoffs of both owner occupied and investment commercial real estate loans which were partially offset by growth in multifamily real estate loans. Commercial business loans increased modestly to $1.30 billion at March 31, 2018, compared to $1.28 billion three months earlier and increased 6% compared to $1.22 billion a year ago. Reflecting normal seasonal trends agricultural business loans declined to $307.2 million at March 31, 2018, compared to $338.4 million three months earlier and were slightly less than the $313.4 million a year ago. Total construction, land and land development loans increased 5% to $948.7 million at March 31, 2018, compared to $907.5 million at December 31, 2017, and increased 18% compared to $803.7 million a year earlier. Consumer loans increased modestly to $693.0 million at March 31, 2018, compared to $688.8 million at December 31, 2017, and increased 7% compared to $649.7 million a year ago, in part due to a successful second quarter 2017 campaign to generate additional home equity lines of credit. One- to four-family loans decreased to $833.6 million compared to $848.3 million at December 31, 2017, but increased 4% compared to $803.0 million a year ago.
Loans held for sale increased 248% to $141.8 million at March 31, 2018, compared to $40.7 million at December 31, 2017, and increased 64% compared to $86.7 million at March 31, 2017. The volume of one- to four- family residential mortgage loans sold was $124.5 million in the current quarter compared to $141.1 million in the preceding quarter and $139.3 million in the first quarter a year ago. While production of multifamily loans was strong in the current quarter, no sales occurred during the current quarter resulting in a significant increase in loans held for sale. Banner did not sell any multifamily loans during the quarter ended March 31, 2018, compared to $74.1 million during the preceding quarter and $200.7 million during the first quarter last year. Loans held for sale at March 31, 2018 included $116.2 million of multifamily loans and $25.6 million of one- to four-family loans.
Total deposits increased 4% to $8.54 billion at March 31, 2018, compared to $8.18 billion at December 31, 2017, and increased modestly compared to $8.42 billion a year ago, as strong core deposit growth was partially offset by continuing declines in retail or non-brokered certificates of deposit. Compared to a year earlier, total deposits at March 31, 2018 were negatively impacted by the sale of the Utah branches which included $160.3 million of deposits. Non-interest-bearing account balances increased 4% to $3.38 billion at March 31, 2018, compared to $3.27 billion at December 31, 2017 and increased 5% compared to $3.21 billion a year ago. Core deposits (non-interest bearing and interest-bearing transaction and savings accounts) increased 4% during the current quarter and increased 3% compared to March 31, 2017 despite the sale of the Utah branches. Core deposits represented 88% of total deposits at both March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Core deposits were 86% of total deposits a year earlier. Certificates of deposit were $1.02 billion at March 31, 2018, compared to $966.9 million at December 31, 2017 and $1.14 billion a year earlier. Brokered deposits increased to $169.5 million at March 31, 2018, compared to $57.2 million at December 31, 2017 and were $171.5 million a year earlier. The average cost of deposits was 0.16% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, compared to 0.15% in the preceding quarter and 0.14% in the quarter ended March 31, 2017.
At March 31, 2018, total common shareholders' equity was $1.25 billion, or $38.68 per share, compared to $1.27 billion at December 31, 2017 and $1.32 billion a year ago. At March 31, 2018, tangible common shareholders' equity*, which excludes goodwill and other intangible assets, was $986.5 million, or 9.82% of tangible assets*, compared to $1.01 billion, or 10.61% of tangible assets, at December 31, 2017 and $1.05 billion, or 10.72% of tangible assets, a year ago. Banner's tangible book value per share* was $30.43 at March 31, 2018, compared to $31.68 per share a year ago.
During the first quarter of 2018, Banner repurchased 269,711 shares of its common stock at an average price per share of $56.93 for a total purchase price of $15.4 million. 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, 2018, Banner Corporation's common equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 10.68%, its Tier 1 leverage capital to average assets ratio was 11.06%, and its total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 13.28%.
Credit Quality
“While we have been effectively executing on our strategies to protect our net interest margin, grow client relationships, deliver sustainable profitability and prudently invest our capital, we have also focused on maintaining our moderate risk profile,” said Grescovich. “Again this quarter, our credit quality metrics reflect our moderate credit risk profile and our reserve and capital levels remain strong.”
The allowance for loan losses was $92.2 million at March 31, 2018, or 1.22% of total loans outstanding and 410% of non-performing loans compared to $89.0 million at December 31, 2017, or 1.17% of total loans outstanding and 329% of non-performing loans, and $86.5 million at March 31, 2017, or 1.17% of total loans outstanding and 479% of non-performing loans. Net loan recoveries totaled $1.2 million in the first quarter compared to net charge-offs of $2.1 million in the preceding quarter and net charge-offs of $1.5 million in the first quarter a year ago. Primarily as a result of the origination of new loans and the renewal of acquired loans out of the discounted acquired 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 and in the year ago quarter. Non-performing loans were $22.5 million at March 31, 2018, compared to $27.0 million at December 31, 2017 and $18.1 million a year ago. Real estate owned and other repossessed assets were $1.0 million at March 31, 2018, compared to $467,000 at December 31, 2017 and $3.2 million a year ago.
In accordance with acquisition accounting, loans acquired from AmericanWest Bank and Siuslaw Bank in 2015 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. At March 31, 2018, the total purchase discount for acquired loans was $19.3 million.
Banner's non-performing assets were $23.5 million, or 0.23% of total assets, at March 31, 2018, compared to $27.5 million, or 0.28% of total assets, at December 31, 2017 and $21.3 million, or 0.21% of total assets, a year ago. In addition to non-performing assets, purchased credit-impaired loans decreased to $19.3 million at March 31, 2018, compared to $21.3 million at December 31, 2017 and $30.5 million a year ago.

(1) 
Average balances include loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis and loans 90 days or more past due. Amortization of net deferred loan fees/costs is included with interest on loans.
(2) 
Average other non-interest-bearing liabilities include fair value adjustments related to FHLB advances and junior subordinated debentures.
(3) 
Yields and costs have not been adjusted for the effect of tax-exempt interest.
(4) 
Non-interest expense divided by the total of net interest income (before provision for loan losses) and non-interest income.
(5) 
Adjusted non-interest expense divided by adjusted revenue. Adjusted revenue excludes net gain (loss) on sale of securities and fair value adjustments. Adjusted non-interest expense excludes amortization of core deposit intangibles (CDI), REO gain (loss), and state/municipal business and use taxes. These represent non-GAAP financial measures. See also Non-GAAP Financial Measures reconciliation tables on the last two pages of the press release tables.
