OLYMPIA, Wash., April 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Heritage Financial Corporation (NASDAQ GS: HFWA) (the "Company" or "Heritage"), the parent company of Heritage Bank (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $20.5 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $22.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and $19.8 million for the first quarter of 2022. Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2023 were $0.58 compared to $0.64 for the fourth quarter of 2022 and $0.56 for the first quarter of 2022.
Jeffrey J. Deuel, President and Chief Executive Officer of Heritage, commented, "Results for the first quarter showcase the strengths of our business model with a strong balance sheet, core deposits, ample liquidity and prudent risk management. We reported solid profitability and loan growth while strengthening capital ratios and maintaining credit quality. Although we are experiencing the industry-wide pressure on deposit balances, we have a long track record of core funding with 34.3% of our deposits as non-interest bearing as of March 31, 2023. Further, we are encouraged by the contributions of our new teams in the Portland, Eugene and Boise MSAs which are enhancing our strong core deposit base.
We are delighted to report that Heritage Bank is partnering with El Centro De La Raza in constructing 87 new affordable housing units in Seattle's Columbia City neighborhood. Heritage is providing construction financing totaling $35.1 million and $9.4 million of permanent financing for the project. In addition to affordable housing, this project will also build an office for a local non-profit, a church to redevelop the longstanding Columbia City Church of Hope, and a new childcare center for El Centro De La Raza. Heritage is proud to be a partner in bringing more affordable housing to families of Columbia City and pairing it with affordable childcare.
We are also pleased to announce that during March 2023, Washington State Department of Commerce notified HBCDE, LLC, a subsidiary of Heritage Bank and a certified Community Development Entity, that our Commercial Real Estate Loan Program was selected for funding. HBCDE's program is one of five capital access programs receiving a total of $163 million awarded to Washington State through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which provided $10 billion to fund the State Small Business Credit Initiative ("SSBCI"). We are excited to have this substantial SSBCI subsidy to help us finance business owners that have had diminished access to credit on reasonable terms or who are expanding into underserved communities."

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income decreased $3.3 million, or 5.2%, during the first quarter of 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 due primarily to an increase in cost of interest bearing liabilities including an increase in deposit costs due to competitive rate pressures as well as an increase in borrowing costs. Net interest income increased $12.9 million, or 27.5%, during the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022 due primarily to an increase in yields earned on interest earning assets following increases in market interest rates.

The cost of interest bearing liabilities increased to 0.69% during the first quarter of 2023 compared to 0.29% in the fourth quarter of 2022 and 0.16% in the first quarter of 2022 primarily due to increased costs of interest bearing deposits due to competitive rate pressures as well as an increase in borrowings which were at a higher rate.
Net interest margin decreased to 3.91% for the first quarter of 2023 as compared to 3.98% for the fourth quarter of 2022 due to an increase in rates on interest bearing liabilities. Net interest margin increased from 2.84% for the first quarter of 2022 due to a shift into higher yielding interest earning assets as well as higher average yields on all interest earning assets following increases in market interest rates.

Noninterest expense increased during the first quarter of 2023 from the fourth quarter of 2022 due primarily to an increase in compensation and employee benefits due to an increase in benefit costs and higher payroll taxes paid in the first quarter each year. Occupancy and equipment expense increased due to an increase in the number of locations resulting from the expansion into Boise, Idaho as well as an increase in maintenance costs related to winter weather conditions. Federal deposit insurance premiums increased during the first quarter of 2023 from the fourth quarter of 2022 due to an increase in assessment rates effective January 1, 2023.
Noninterest expense increased during the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 due primarily to an increase in compensation and employee benefits resulting from an increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees including the addition of commercial and relationship banking teams in 2022 and an increase in salaries and wages due to upward market pressure. Occupancy and equipment expense increased due to the expansion into Eugene, Oregon and Boise, Idaho as well as an increase in maintenance costs related to winter weather conditions. Data processing costs increased due primarily to the expansion of digital services including the addition of the ability to open accounts online. The federal deposit insurance premium increased due to the increase in the assessment rate discussed above.
Income Tax Expense
The following table presents the income tax expense and related metrics and the change for the periods indicated:
Quarter Ended | Quarter Over | Prior Year | |||||||||||
March 31, | December 31, | March 31, | $ | % | $ | % | |||||||
(Dollar amounts in thousands) | |||||||||||||
Income before income taxes | $ 24,670 | $ 27,889 | $ 23,339 | $ (3,219) | (11.5) % | $ 1,331 | 5.7 % | ||||||
Income tax expense | $ 4,213 | $ 5,345 | $ 3,582 | $ (1,132) | (21.2) % | $ 631 | 17.6 % | ||||||
Effective income tax rate | 17.1 % | 19.2 % | 15.3 % | (2.1) % | (10.9) % | 1.8 % | 11.8 % | ||||||
Income tax expense decreased during the first quarter of 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 due primarily to a lower effective income tax rate during the first quarter of 2023 following a decrease in pre-tax income which increased the impact of favorable permanent tax items such as tax-exempt investments, investments in bank owned life insurance and low-income housing tax credits.
Income tax expense increased during the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 primarily due to higher estimated pre-tax income in 2023 than in 2022.

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: changes in general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, including as a result of employment levels, labor shortages and the effects of inflation, a potential recession or slowed economic growth caused by increasing political instability from acts of war including Russia's invasion of Ukraine, as well as increasing oil prices and supply chain disruptions; the uncertain impacts of quantitative tightening and current and future monetary policies of the Federal Reserve; changes in the interest rate environment; the quality and composition of our securities portfolio and the impact of any adverse changes including market liquidity within the securities markets; legislative and regulatory changes, including as a result of new COVID-19 variants; 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.
