Banner Corporation Reports Third Quarter Net Income of $37.8 Million, or $1.17 Per Diluted Share;
Results Highlighted by Strong Loan and Core Deposit Growth, Net Interest Margin Expansion and Improved Operating Efficiency

Walla Walla, WA - October 24, 2018 - Banner Corporation (NASDAQ GSM: BANR), the parent company of Banner Bank and Islanders Bank, today reported that continued margin expansion, coupled with strong loan and core deposit growth, along with improved operating efficiency contributed to solid third quarter financial results. Net income in the third quarter of 2018 increased 16% to $37.8 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, compared to $32.4 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, in the preceding quarter and increased 51% when compared to $25.1 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, in the third quarter a year ago when federal income tax rates were substantially higher. Third quarter results include $1.0 million of acquisition-related expense, compared to no acquisition expenses in the preceding or year ago quarter.
In the first nine months of 2018, net income increased 33% to $99.0 million, or $3.05 per diluted share, compared to $74.3 million, or $2.25 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2017.
“Our third quarter 2018 performance clearly demonstrates that execution of our strategic plan is effective and continues to build shareholder value. Our focus on growing new client relationships adds to our core funding position and promotes client loyalty through our responsive service model,” stated Mark J. Grescovich, President and Chief Executive Officer. "In addition, we recently announced our agreement to acquire Skagit Bancorp, Inc., the holding company for Skagit Bank. This transaction will expand Banner’s presence and density in the attractive North Sound markets of the Pacific Northwest and will represent a complementary fit, both strategically and culturally, with Banner’s business model. We expect the combination of Banner and Skagit to enhance our already strong core deposit base, provide the opportunity to create operational efficiencies, and enhance the value of the combined company while offering Skagit Bank customers a broader product offering, increased lending limits and an expanded branch delivery system that stretches throughout the four states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and California.”
At September 30, 2018, Banner Corporation had $10.51 billion in assets, $7.73 billion in net loans and $8.69 billion in deposits. Banner operates 171 branch offices located in eight of the top 20 largest western Metropolitan Statistical Areas by population.

*Tangible common shareholders' equity per share and the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets (both of which exclude goodwill and other intangible assets, net), and references to revenues from core operations (which excludes acquisition-related costs, fair value adjustments and gains and losses on the sale of securities) and the adjusted efficiency ratio (which excludes fair value adjustments and gains and losses on the sale of securities from adjusted non-interest income and excludes amortization of core deposit intangibles, real estate owned, gain (loss) and state/municipal business and use taxes from adjusted non-interest expense) represent non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting 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 July 25, 2018, Banner and Skagit Bancorp, Inc. (“Skagit”), the holding company for Skagit Bank, a Washington state-chartered commercial bank, entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which Banner will acquire Skagit in an all-stock transaction, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. Under the merger agreement, Skagit will merge with and into Banner, and immediately thereafter Skagit Bank will merge with and into Banner Bank. The transaction is expected to close on or about November 1, 2018, subject to customary closing conditions.
Skagit Bank is a 60-year-old community bank based in the North Sound region of the Pacific Northwest focused on developing and serving long term consumer and business clients. At September 30, 2018, Skagit Bank had assets of $919 million, a diverse and high-quality loan portfolio of $604 million, and a low-cost deposit base of $819 million with 11 retail branches along the I-5 corridor from Seattle to the Canadian border. Banner expects the transaction to be immediately accretive to earnings per share, excluding one-time transaction expenses. The combined company will have approximately $11.4 billion in assets.
On October 2, 2018, Banner announced that it had received all regulatory approvals required to consummate the proposed transaction, including the written approval of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Washington Department of Financial Institutions, and written confirmation from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System that no application was required to be filed with that agency. On October 15, 2018, the shareholders of Skagit approved the definitive merger agreement.
Income Statement Review
“The rising interest rate environment contributed to higher yields on loans and improved our net interest margin again this quarter,” said Grescovich. Banner's net interest margin was 4.48% for the third quarter of 2018, a nine basis point improvement compared to 4.39% in the preceding quarter and a 26 basis point improvement compared to 4.22% in the third quarter a year ago. Acquisition accounting adjustments added 12 basis points to the net interest margin in the current quarter compared to six basis points in the preceding quarter and ten basis points in the third quarter a year ago. The total purchase discount for acquired loans was $15.4 million at September 30, 2018, a decrease from $18.1 million at June 30, 2018 and a decrease compared to $23.4 million at September 30, 2017. In the first nine months of the year, Banner’s net interest margin expanded 14 basis points to 4.41% compared to 4.27% in the first nine months a year ago.
Average interest-earning asset yields increased 13 basis points to 4.83% compared to 4.70% for the preceding quarter and increased 40 basis points compared to 4.43% in the third quarter a year ago. Average loan yields increased 16 basis points to 5.31% compared to 5.15% in the preceding quarter and increased 43 basis points compared to 4.88% in the third quarter a year ago. Loan discount accretion added 15 basis points to loan yields in the third quarter of 2018, compared to eight basis points in the preceding quarter and 12 basis points in the third quarter a year ago. Deposit costs were 0.25% in the third quarter of 2018, a five basis point increase compared to the preceding quarter and a ten basis point increase compared to the third quarter a year ago. The total cost of funds was 0.37% during the third quarter of 2018, a four basis point increase compared to the preceding quarter and a 14 basis point increase compared to the third quarter a year ago largely reflecting increased use of brokered deposits and the impacts of the rising rate environment.
Primarily as a result of the origination of new loans, the renewal of acquired loans out of the discounted acquired loan portfolio and net charge-offs, Banner recorded a $2.0 million provision for loan losses during the third quarter, the same as in both the preceding and year ago quarters as credit quality metrics remained strong.
Deposit fees and other service charges were $12.3 million in the third quarter, compared to $12.0 million in the preceding quarter and $11.1 million in the third quarter a year ago. Mortgage banking revenues, including gains on one- to four-family and multifamily loan sales and loan servicing fees, increased to $5.8 million in the third quarter compared to $4.6 million in the preceding quarter and $4.5 million in the third quarter of 2017. Home purchase activity accounted for 78% of third quarter 2018 one- to four-family mortgage loan originations compared to 81% in the prior quarter and 77% in the third quarter of 2017. Death benefits accounted for an $759,000 increase in Bank owned life insurance income during the quarter.
Banner’s third quarter 2018 results included a $45,000 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 $224,000 net gain for fair value adjustments and a $44,000 net gain on the sale of securities. In the third quarter a year ago, results included a $493,000 net loss for fair value adjustments and a $270,000 net gain on the sale of securities. Following the adoption of new accounting guidance, beginning in the first quarter of 2018, Banner no longer reflects changes in the fair value of its junior subordinated debentures related to instrument-specific credit risk in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, but rather reports those changes in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and includes them in total shareholders’ equity in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Total revenues increased 3% to $129.5 million for the third quarter of 2018, compared to $126.3 million in the preceding quarter and increased 9% compared to $118.3 million in the third quarter a year ago. In the first nine months of 2018, total revenues increased 7% to $376.5 million, compared to $352.3 million in the first nine months of 2017. Revenues from core operations* (revenues excluding gains and losses on the sale of securities and the net change in valuation of financial instruments) increased to $129.4 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $126.0 million in the preceding quarter, and $118.5 million in the third quarter of 2017. In the first nine months of 2018, revenues from core operations* increased to $372.9 million from $353.9 million in the first nine months a year ago.
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 $20.4 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $21.2 million in the second quarter of 2018 and $18.1 million in the third quarter a year ago. In the first nine months of 2018, total non-interest income was $63.0 million, compared to $57.5 million in the same period a year ago.
Banner’s total non-interest expense was $81.6 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $82.6 million in the preceding quarter and $80.3 million in the third quarter of 2017. Acquisition-related expenses were $1.0 million for the third quarter, compared to no acquisition expenses in the preceding or year ago quarters. Other non-interest expense items of significance for the third quarter of 2018 included $425,000 in fixed asset write-offs from consolidating six branches in July. Banner’s adjusted efficiency ratio* improved to 60.21% for the current quarter, compared to 64.09% in the prior quarter and 65.62% in the year ago quarter.
For the third quarter of 2018, Banner recorded $8.1 million in state and federal income tax expense for an effective tax rate of 17.6%, reflecting the new lower federal corporate income tax rate beginning in 2018, as well as the benefits from tax exempt income sources and a $1.2 million credit to tax expense for its affordable housing lending activity. Our normal, expected statutory income tax rate is 23.7%, representing a blend of the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0% and apportioned effects of the state income tax rates. For the year ago quarter, Banner recorded $10.9 million in state and federal income tax expense for an effective tax rate of 30.3%.
Balance Sheet Review
Banner’s total assets were $10.51 billion at September 30, 2018, compared to $10.38 billion at June 30, 2018, and $10.44 billion at September 30, 2017. The total of securities and interest-bearing deposits held at other banks was $1.76 billion at September 30, 2018, compared to $1.74 billion at June 30, 2018, $1.26 billion at December 31, 2017 and $1.68 billion at September 30, 2017. The increase in the securities portfolio during both the current quarter and preceding quarter compared to December 31, 2017, reflects Banner's renewed leveraging strategy as it crossed the $10 billion in total assets threshold. In the fourth quarter 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 in order to postpone the adverse impact of the Durbin Amendment. The average effective duration of Banner's securities portfolio was approximately 4.2 years at September 30, 2018, compared to 3.6 years at September 30, 2017.
Net loans receivable increased 2% to $7.73 billion at September 30, 2018, compared to $7.59 billion at June 30, 2018 and increased modestly when compared to $7.69 billion at September 30, 2017. The sale of our Utah branches in the fourth quarter of 2017 included the sale of $253.8 million of loans. Commercial real estate and multifamily real estate loans increased slightly to $3.52 billion at September 30, 2018, compared to $3.51 billion at June 30, 2018, but decreased compared to $3.67 billion a year ago, reflecting significant payoffs of both owner occupied and investment commercial real estate loans. Commercial business loans increased 4% to $1.36 billion at September 30, 2018, compared to $1.31 billion three months earlier and increased 4% compared to $1.31 billion a year ago. Reflecting normal seasonal trends, agricultural business loans increased by 7% to $360.0 million at September 30, 2018, compared to $336.7 million three months earlier and increased by 6% compared to $339.9 million a year ago. Total construction, land and land development loans increased 4% to $1.02 billion at September 30, 2018, compared to $980.4 million at June 30, 2018, and increased 16% compared to $878.4 million a year earlier. Consumer loans increased modestly to $710.5 million at September 30, 2018, compared to $706.8 million at June 30, 2018, and increased compared to $701.2 million a year ago. One- to four-family loans increased modestly to $849.9 million compared to $840.5 million at June 30, 2018, but decreased compared to $869.6 million a year ago.
Loans held for sale decreased 8% to $72.9 million at September 30, 2018, compared to $78.8 million at June 30, 2018, but increased modestly compared to $71.9 million at September 30, 2017. The volume of one- to four- family residential mortgage loans sold remained relatively constant at $134.1 million in the current quarter compared to $124.1 million in the preceding quarter and was $141.0 million in the third quarter a year ago. During the third quarter of 2018, Banner sold $94.0 million in multifamily loans, compared to $135.7 million in the preceding quarter. Loans held for sale at September 30, 2018 included $39.2 million of multifamily loans and $33.6 million of one- to four-family loans.
Total deposits were $8.69 billion at September 30, 2018, compared to $8.53 billion at June 30, 2018, and $8.54 billion a year ago, as strong core deposit growth over the last year, coupled with the addition of brokered certificates of deposits, was partially offset by continuing declines in retail, or non-brokered, certificates of deposit. Compared to a year earlier, total deposits at September 30, 2018 were negatively impacted by the sale of $20.4 million of Poulsbo Branch deposits during the second quarter of 2018, as well as the sale of the Utah branches during the fourth quarter of 2017 which included $160.3 million of deposits. Non-interest-bearing account balances increased 4% to $3.47 billion at September 30, 2018, compared to $3.35 billion at June 30, 2018, and increased 3% compared to $3.38 billion a year ago. Core deposits (non-interest-bearing and interest-bearing transaction and savings accounts) increased 2% from the prior quarter and increased modestly compared to September 30, 2017, despite the sale of the Utah branches. Core deposits represented 86% of total deposits at September 30, 2018, compared to 87% of total deposits at June 30, 2018, and 87% of total deposits a year earlier. Certificates of deposit were $1.18 billion at September 30, 2018, compared to $1.15 billion at June 30, 2018, and $1.10 billion a year earlier. Brokered deposits increased to $325.2 million at September 30, 2018, compared to $280.1 million at June 30, 2018, and were $171.7 million a year earlier.
At September 30, 2018, total common shareholders' equity was $1.27 billion, or $39.26 per share, compared to $1.25 billion at June 30, 2018, and $1.33 billion a year ago. At September 30, 2018, tangible common shareholders' equity*, which excludes goodwill and other intangible assets, was $1.01 billion, or 9.86% of tangible assets*, compared to $990.5 million, or 9.79% of tangible assets, at June 30, 2018 and $1.06 billion, or 10.39% of tangible assets, a year ago. Banner's tangible book value per share* was $31.20 at September 30, 2018, compared to $31.79 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. There were no repurchases during the second or third quarters of 2018. 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 September 30, 2018, Banner Corporation's common equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 11.13%, its Tier 1 leverage capital to average assets ratio was 11.04%, and its total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 13.76%.
Credit Quality
The allowance for loan losses was $95.3 million at September 30, 2018, or 1.22% of total loans outstanding and 603% of non-performing loans compared to $93.9 million at June 30, 2018, or 1.22% of total loans outstanding and 613% of non-performing loans, and $89.1 million at September 30, 2017, or 1.15% of total loans outstanding and 296% of non-performing loans. Net loan charge-offs totaled $612,000 in the third quarter compared to $332,000 in the preceding quarter and $1.5 million in the third quarter a year ago. Primarily as a result of the origination of new loans, the renewal of acquired loans out of the discounted acquired loan portfolio and net charge-offs, 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 $15.8 million at September 30, 2018, compared to $15.3 million at June 30, 2018 and decreased compared to $30.1 million a year ago. Real estate owned and other repossessed assets were $937,000 at September 30, 2018, compared to $1.2 million at June 30, 2018 and $1.6 million a year ago.
In accordance with acquisition accounting, loans acquired from acquisitions 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. At September 30, 2018, the total purchase discount for acquired loans was $15.4 million.
Banner's non-performing assets were $16.7 million, or 0.16% of total assets, at September 30, 2018, compared to $16.5 million, or 0.16% of total assets, at June 30, 2018 and $31.7 million, or 0.30% of total assets, a year ago. In addition to non-performing assets, purchased credit-impaired loans decreased to $12.9 million at September 30, 2018, compared to $18.1 million at June 30, 2018 and $23.2 million at September 30, 2017.

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.

In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), this press release contains certain non-GAAP 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.
