OLYMPIA, Wash., Jan. 26, 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 $22.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $21.0 million for the third quarter of 2022 and $19.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. Diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $0.64 compared to $0.59 for the third quarter of 2022 and $0.55 for the fourth quarter of 2021. Net income for the year ended 2022 totaled $81.9 million, or $2.31 per diluted share as compared to $98.0 million, or $2.73 per diluted share for 2021.
Jeffrey J. Deuel, President and Chief Executive Officer of Heritage, commented, "We are very pleased with our profitability over the past year due to higher net interest margin, low-cost deposits and strong loan growth, along with our prudent expense management. Our net interest margin in the fourth quarter increased by 113 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2021, while our cost of total deposits only increased by 7 basis points. In addition, excluding the impacts of SBA PPP loan repayments, total loan balances increased by 10.3% from year end 2021. These achievements were made possible by our foundation of a strong balance sheet and a talented team of bankers.
We successfully expanded our teams in the Portland and Eugene MSAs in 2022, and we are excited to start 2023 by announcing our entry into the Boise MSA, which is our first branch in Idaho. We believe this will be an attractive market for Heritage to expand and continue to grow.
Further, we are proud that Heritage Bank is partnering with College Housing Northwest ("CHNW") in financing 79 affordable student housing rental units located on the Eastside of Portland. CHNW works to provide innovative housing support to college students, especially to those aging out of the foster care system. Heritage Bank is providing $7.4 million of term loan financing for the project as well as assisting CHNW to acquire additional buildings with access to innovative funding from government and foundation sources."

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income increased $3.8 million, or 6.4%, compared to the third quarter of 2022 and increased $15.2 million, or 31.7%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 due primarily to an increase in yields earned on interest earning assets following increases in market interest rates. The yield on interest earning assets increased to 4.16% as compared to 3.68% in the third quarter of 2022 and 2.95% in the fourth quarter of 2021.
The cost of interest bearing liabilities increased to 0.29%, compared to 0.18% in the third quarter of 2022 and 0.16% in the fourth quarter of 2021 primarily due to increased costs of interest bearing deposits due to competitive rate pressures on deposit accounts.
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:

Net interest margin increased to 3.98% for the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to 3.57% for the third quarter of 2022 and 2.85% for the fourth quarter of 2021 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 while maintaining a low cost of deposits.

Noninterest income decreased from the same period in 2021 due primarily to reduced gain on sale of loans, net as sales volume of secondary market mortgage loans declined, a loss on the sale of investment securities recognized during the fourth quarter of 2022 and a gain on sale of branches held for sale recognized during the fourth quarter of 2021.

Noninterest expense increased from the third quarter of 2022 and the same period in 2021 due primarily to an increase in compensation and employee benefits due to an increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees including the addition of commercial and relationship banking teams in the second quarter of 2022 and an increase in salaries and wages due to upward market pressure. Marketing expenses increased from the third quarter of 2022 due to timing of marketing efforts.

Income tax expense increased compared to the third quarter of 2022 due primarily to a higher effective income tax rate during the fourth quarter of 2022 following an increase in annual pre-tax income for the year ended 2022, 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 as well as an increase in the effective state income tax rate.
Income tax expense increased compared to the same period in 2021 primarily due to higher estimated pre-tax income in the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2021.

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. Additionally, recent changes in market interest rates introduced significant volatility in the unrealized gain or loss of investment securities available for sale ("UGL") and the related AOCI. Management excluded AOCI and UGL from tangible common equity and tangible assets, respectively, to improve comparability of capital levels as AOCI and UGL are excluded from the calculation of regulatory capital ratios.

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 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 has been 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 Accounting Standards Update 2016-13.

The Company believes presenting loan yield excluding the effect of discount accretion on acquired 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 acquired loans represents the amount of interest income recorded on acquired 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 CECL. 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 have substantially decreased within a short time frame.
