      • Declared a regular cash dividend of $0.21 per common share on April 20, 2022.

      OLYMPIA, Wash., April 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Heritage Financial Corporation (NASDAQ GS: HFWA) (the "Company" or "Heritage"), the parent company of Heritage Bank ("Bank"), today reported net income of $19.8 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to $19.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $25.3 million for the first quarter of 2021. Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2022 were $0.56 compared to $0.55 for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $0.70 for the first quarter of 2021.

      Jeffrey J. Deuel, President and Chief Executive Officer of Heritage, commented, "While we continue to see challenges from the COVID-environment, we remain focused on delivering strong financial performance and improvements in our operating efficiency by managing expenses and leveraging technology systems. We are well-positioned for the rising rate environment due to our ample balance sheet liquidity, including $1.58 billion in cash and cash equivalents. Additionally, we are seeing loan growth due to a decline in loan payoff activity and the strong economic climate in the Pacific Northwest.

      Further, we are pleased with the success of our ongoing efforts to positively contribute to housing in the communities we serve. Heritage Bank recently partnered with Catholic Housing Services in constructing a new affordable housing development of 119 new family units in Seattle's Rainier Beach Neighborhood. Heritage Bank is providing $31.1 million of construction financing and $14.8 million of permanent financing for this project. Catholic Housing Services will utilize Seattle's Community Preference Policy, providing housing preference to families with historic ties to the area which will aid in improving demographic dispersion in the neighborhood."

      During the first quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased $2.0 million, or 80,559 shares of its common stock at a weighted average price per share of $25.17, as compared to the repurchase of $1.5 million, or 63,884 shares of its common stock, at a weighted average price per share of $23.02, during the fourth quarter of 2021. As of March 31, 2022, there were 657,745 shares available for repurchase under the current repurchase plan.

      The Company and Bank continue to maintain capital levels in excess of the applicable regulatory requirements for them both to be categorized as "well-capitalized". The following table summarizes capital ratios for the Company at the dates indicated:

      The stockholders' equity to total assets ratio and the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio both declined due primarily to a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $43.6 million during the first quarter of 2022 following an increase in market interest rates during the quarter, which negatively impacted the fair value of our investment securities available for sale at March 31, 2022.

      Allowance for Credit Losses and Provision for Credit Losses

      The ACL on loans decreased compared to December 31, 2021 due primarily to a reduction of loans individually evaluated for losses and their related ACL as well as changes in the loan mix and continued improvement in forecasted economic indicators used to calculate credit losses.

      Credit Quality

      Nonperforming assets decreased to 0.22% of total assets at March 31, 2022 compared to 0.32% of total assets at December 31, 2021. Nonperforming assets at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 consisted only of nonaccrual loans. Changes in nonaccrual loans during the periods indicated were as follows:

      Nonaccrual loans declined $7.2 million, or 30.4%, due primarily to ongoing collection efforts, including the partial payoff of two large commercial and industrial loan relationships, the payoff of one non-owner occupied CRE relationship, and the transfer of two commercial business loan relationships back to accruing status.

      Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

      Net interest income decreased $1.0 million, or 2.0%, for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 due primarily to a decrease in deferred SBA PPP loan fees recognized due to a decrease in the volume of forgiven SBA PPP loans, offset partially by an increase in interest income on investment securities.

      Net interest income decreased $5.3 million, or 10.1%, compared to the first quarter of 2021 also due primarily to the decrease in deferred SBA PPP loan fees recognized as well as a slightly lower loan yield. The decrease in net interest income was offset partially by a higher average balance of taxable investment securities.

      The following table presents the loan yield and the impact of SBA PPP loans and the incremental accretion on purchased loans on this financial measure for the periods presented below:

      The impact to loan yield from recoveries of interest and fees on loans classified as nonaccrual was 11 basis points during the first quarter of 2022, including the recovery of $774,000 from a non-owner occupied CRE relationship, compared to one basis point during the fourth quarter of 2021.

      Net interest margin decreased slightly to 2.84% for the first quarter of 2022 as compared to 2.85% for the fourth quarter of 2021.

      Net interest margin decreased from 3.51% for the first quarter of 2021 due primarily to the change in the mix of total interest earning assets, including a significant increase in the balance of lower yielding average interest earning deposits, and secondarily due to lower loan yield.

      Noninterest income decreased during the first quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 due primarily to the prior quarter's gain of $2.7 million related to the sale and leaseback of the Company's headquarters included in gain on sale of other assets, net, offset partially by an increase in bank owned life insurance income due to the recognition of a death benefit of $1.0 million during the current quarter.

      Noninterest income increased from the same period in 2021 due primarily to the current quarter death benefit discussed above and increases in service charges and other fees and card revenue reflecting increased customer transactions as businesses reopened in our market areas, offset partially by reduced gain on sale of loans, net as sales volume of secondary market mortgage loans declined.

Data processing declined as software implementation costs related to technology initiatives were included in the fourth quarter of 2021.

      Noninterest expense decreased from the same period in 2021 due primarily to a decrease in compensation and employee benefits from lower headcount and secondarily due to a decrease in professional services which was elevated during the first quarter of 2021 due to costs associated with our participation in the second tranche of the SBA PPP.

      Income tax expense decreased for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 and the same period in 2021 primarily reflecting the change in income before income taxes earned between the periods. Additionally, the effective income tax rate was higher during the fourth quarter of 2021 due primarily to an increase in annual pre-tax income for the year ended 2021, which decreased the impact of favorable permanent tax items such as tax-exempt investments, investments in bank owned life insurance and low-income housing tax credits.

      Forward-Looking Statements

      This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements often include words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," and "intend" or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could," or "may." Forward-looking statements are not historical facts but instead represent management's current expectations and forecasts regarding future events, many of which are inherently uncertain and outside of our control. Actual results may differ, possibly materially, from those currently expected or projected in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, include but are not limited to, the following: the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, including on the Company's credit quality and business operations, as well as its impact on general economic and financial market conditions and other uncertainties resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, such as the extent and duration of the impact on public health, the U.S. and global economies, and consumer and corporate customers, including economic activity, employment levels and market liquidity; changes in the interest rate environment; changes in general economic conditions and conditions within the securities markets; legislative and regulatory changes, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; and other factors described in Heritage's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other documents filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission-which are available on our website at www.heritagebanknw.com and on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Moreover, any of the forward-looking statements that we make in this press release or the documents we file with or furnish to the SEC are based only on information then actually known to the Company and upon management's beliefs and assumptions at the time they are made which may turn out to be wrong because of inaccurate assumptions we might make, because of the factors described above or because of other factors that we cannot foresee. The Company does not undertake and specifically disclaims any obligation to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements. These risks could cause our actual results for 2022 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements by, or on behalf of, us, and could negatively affect the Company's operating and stock price performance.

      HERITAGE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
      NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (Unaudited)
      (Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

      This earnings release contains certain financial measures not presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") in addition to financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company 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 the Company's capital, performance and asset quality reflected in the current quarter and comparable period results and to facilitate comparison of its performance with the performance of its peers. These non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures are presented below.

      The Company considers the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio and tangible book value per share to be useful measurements of the adequacy of the Company's capital levels.

      The Company considers presenting the ratio of ACL on loans to loans receivable, excluding SBA PPP loans, to be a useful measurement in evaluating the adequacy of the Company's ACL on loans as the balance of SBA PPP loans was significant to the loan portfolio; however, since SBA PPP loans are guaranteed by the SBA, the Company has not provided an ACL on loans for these loans.

      The Company considers the return on average tangible common equity ratio to be a useful measurement of the Company's ability to generate returns for its common shareholders. By removing the impact of intangible assets and their related amortization and tax effects, the performance of the Company's ongoing business operations can be evaluated.

      The Company believes that presenting pre-tax pre-provision income, which reflects its profitability before income taxes and provision for credit losses, and the pre-tax, pre-provision return on average assets, are useful measurements in assessing its operating income and expenses by removing the volatility that may be associated with credit loss provisions. The Company also believes that during a crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic, this information is useful as the impact of the pandemic on credit loss provisions of various institutions has varied based on the geography of the communities served by a particular institution and the decision to adopt or defer the current expected credit losses ("CECL") methodology required by ASU 2016-13.

      The Company believes presenting loan yield excluding the effect of discount accretion on purchased loans is useful in assessing the impact of acquisition accounting on loan yield as the effect of loan discount accretion is expected to decrease as the acquired loans mature or roll off its balance sheet. Incremental accretion on purchased loans represents the amount of interest income recorded on purchased loans in excess of the contractual stated interest rate in the individual loan notes due to incremental accretion of purchased discount or premium. Purchased discount or premium is the difference between the contractual loan balance and the fair value of acquired loans at the acquisition date, or as modified by the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13. The purchased discount is accreted into income over the remaining life of the loan. The impact of incremental accretion on loan yield will change during any period based on the volume of prepayments, but it is expected to decrease over time as the balance of the purchased loans decreases.

      Similarly, presenting loan yield excluding the effect of SBA PPP loans is useful in assessing the impact of these special program loans that are anticipated to substantially decrease within a short time frame.
