Olympia, WA - Heritage Financial Corporation (Nasdaq GS: HFWA) (the “Company", ”we," or "us"), the parent company of Heritage Bank (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $19.2 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $12.2 million for the second quarter of 2025 and $11.4 million for the third quarter of 2024.

Bryan McDonald, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, "We are pleased with the continued growth in core earnings driven by our margin expansion as loan yields continue to expand and our deposits costs are decreasing. Net interest income increased 8.3% from the same quarter of 2024. The growth in core deposits has allowed us to reduce borrowings by $245 million, or 64%, in 2025 year to date, which further strengthened our net interest margin in the quarter."

Mr. McDonald continued, "Of course, we are excited about the pending acquisition of Olympic Bancorp and its subsidiary, Kitsap Bank. This acquisition will further enhance the strength of our balance sheet and improve our profitability. We look forward to closing the transaction in the first quarter of 2026.”

Loans receivable decreased $5.7 million, or 0.1%, during the third quarter of 2025 due primarily to an elevated level of prepaid and closed loans, offset partially by new loan production for the quarter. New loans funded increased during the third quarter of 2025 to $174.5 million, compared to $139.9 million during the second quarter of 2025. New loan commitments increased during the third quarter of 2025 to $341.2 million, compared to $267.6 million during the second quarter of 2025. Loan prepayments increased to $75.6 million during the quarter, compared to $58.9 million during the prior quarter. Loan payoffs increased to $55.8 million, compared to $51.0 million in the prior quarter.

Commercial and industrial loans decreased $12.0 million, or 1.4%, during the third quarter of 2025, due primarily to pay downs on outstanding balances, partially offset by new loan production of $65.6 million. Owner-occupied commercial real estate ("CRE") loans increased $7.8 million, or 0.8%, during the third quarter of 2025, due primarily to new loan production of $24.8 million, partially offset by pay downs on outstanding balances. Non-owner occupied CRE loans decreased $1.6 million, or 0.1%, during the quarter, due primarily to loan payoffs, partially offset by new loan production of $50.7 million. Residential real estate loans decreased by $9.1 million, or 2.4%, during the quarter due to loan payoffs. Residential construction loans increased by $12.4 million, or 15.8% during the quarter due primarily to new loan production. Commercial and multifamily construction loans decreased $4.1 million, or 1.1%, during the quarter due primarily to loan payoffs.

Total deposits increased $73.1 million, or 1.3%, to $5.86 billion at September 30, 2025 from $5.78 billion at June 30, 2025. Non-maturity deposits increased by $104.5 million, or 2.2%, from June 30, 2025 due primarily to an increase in customer balances in noninterest bearing demand and interest bearing demand accounts. The increase in non-maturity deposits was partially offset by a decrease of $31.4 million in certificates of deposit accounts. The decline in certificates of deposit accounts was due primarily to the maturity of $25.1 million of brokered certificates of deposit.

Total stockholders' equity increased $15.9 million, or 1.8%, to $904.1 million at September 30, 2025 compared to $888.2 million at June 30, 2025 due primarily to $19.2 million of net income recognized for the quarter and a $3.7 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss. These increases were partially offset by $8.3 million in dividends paid to common shareholders during the quarter.

The Company and Bank continued to maintain capital levels in excess of the applicable regulatory requirements for them both to be categorized as “well-capitalized” at September 30, 2025.

Allowance for Credit Losses and Provision for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") on loans as a percentage of loans receivable was 1.13% at September 30, 2025 compared to 1.10% at June 30, 2025. The increase in the ACL as a percentage of loans was due primarily to changes in the weighted average life of loans in the real estate construction and land development segment. During the third quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a $1.6 million provision for credit losses on loans, compared to a $0.9 million provision during the second quarter of 2025.

During the third quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a $212,000 provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments compared to a $93,000 provision during the second quarter of 2025. The provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments during the third quarter of 2025 was due primarily to an increase in the unfunded exposure on construction loans.

The following table provides detail on the changes in the ACL on loans and the ACL on unfunded commitments, and the related provision for (reversal of) credit losses for the periods indicated:

Net Interest Margin and Net Interest Income

Net interest margin increased 13 basis points to 3.64% during the third quarter of 2025 from 3.51% during the second quarter of 2025.

The yield on interest earning assets increased three basis points to 5.04% for the third quarter of 2025 compared to 5.01% for the second quarter of 2025. The yield on loans receivable increased three basis points to 5.53% during the third quarter of 2025, compared to 5.50% during the second quarter of 2025 as new loans were booked and adjustable rate loans repriced at higher rates.

The cost of interest bearing deposits decreased five basis points to 1.89% for the third quarter of 2025 from 1.94% for the second quarter of 2025. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in certificate of deposit rates.

Net interest income increased $2.4 million, or 4.3%, during the third quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2025 due to a $1.0 million increase in total interest income and a decrease in interest expense of $1.4 million.

Net interest margin increased 34 basis points to 3.64% from 3.30% compared to the same period in the prior year. Net interest income increased $4.4 million, or 8.3%, during the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024. The increase was due primarily to a change in the mix of earning assets to higher yielding loan balances and a decrease in deposit and borrowing interest expense due to lower rates.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased $6.8 million to $8.3 million during the third quarter of 2025 from $1.5 million during the second quarter of 2025. The increase was due primarily to a $6.9 million loss recognized in the second quarter of 2025 resulting from the sale of investment securities as part of the Company's strategic repositioning of its balance sheet. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") income due to nonrecurring death benefit proceeds received in the second quarter of 2025.

Noninterest income increased $6.5 million from the same period in 2024 due primarily to a $6.9 million loss recognized in the third quarter of 2024 resulting from the sale of investment securities as part of the above-mentioned strategic repositioning of the Company's balance sheet. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in gain on sale of other assets, net which was due to the $1.5 million gain on sale of an administrative building recognized during the third quarter of 2024.

The following table presents the key components of noninterest income and the change for the periods indicated:

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense increased $0.5 million, or 1.3%, to $41.6 million during the third quarter of 2025, compared to $41.1 million in the second quarter of 2025 due primarily to an increase in compensation and employee benefits resulting from an increase in the accrual for incentive compensation. Professional fees increased due primarily to merger related costs of $630,000 incurred during the third quarter of 2025, offset partially by a reduction in other professional expenses.

Noninterest expense increased $2.3 million, or 5.9%, during the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due primarily to an increase in compensation and employee benefits due to annual merit increases in base pay and related incentive compensation expense accruals. Professional fees increased due primarily to merger related costs of $630,000 incurred during the third quarter of 2025.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense increased $0.9 million to $3.1 million during the third quarter of 2025, compared to $2.2 million during second quarter of 2025 due to an increase in pre-tax income. Impacting the amount of the increase from the prior quarter was the recognition of $515,000 in income tax expense in the second quarter of 2025 related to the surrender of $8.5 million in BOLI policies.

Income tax expense increased $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to same period in 2024 due primarily to higher pre-tax income during the third quarter of 2025.

Such statements often include words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," “forecasts,” "intends," “plans,” “targets,” “potentially,” “probably,” “projects,” “outlook” or similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “may,” "will," “should,” "would," and "could," as well as the negative of such words. 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 our actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: • potential adverse impacts to economic conditions nationally or in our local market areas, other markets where Heritage Financial Corporation (the "Company") has lending relationships, or other aspects of the Company’s business operations or financial markets, including, without limitation, as a result of credit quality deterioration, pronounced and sustained reductions in real estate market values, employment levels, labor shortages and a potential recession or slowed economic growth; • changes in the interest rate environment, which could adversely affect our revenues and expenses, the value of assets and obligations, and the availability and cost of capital and liquidity; • the level and impact of inflation and the current and future monetary policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in response thereto; • legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business, including changes in banking, securities, and tax law, in regulatory policies and principles, or the interpretation and prioritization of such rules and regulations; • effects on the U.S. economy resulting from the threat or implementation of, or changes to existing, policies and executive orders, including tariffs, immigration policy, regulatory and other governmental agencies, DEI and ESG initiatives, consumer protection, foreign policy, and tax regulations; • credit and interest rate risks associated with the Company’s businesses, customers, borrowings, repayment, investment, and deposit practices; • fluctuations in deposits and deposit concentrations; • liquidity issues, including our ability to borrow funds or raise additional capital, if necessary; • fluctuations in the value of our investment securities; • credit risks and risks from concentrations (by type of geographic area, collateral and industry) within our loan portfolio; • disruptions, security breaches, insider fraud, cybersecurity incidents or other adverse events, failures or interruptions in, or attacks on, our information technology systems or on the third-party vendors who perform critical processing functions for our business, including sophisticated attacks using artificial intelligence and similar tools; • technological changes implemented by us and other parties, including third-party vendors, which may be more difficult to implement or more expensive than anticipated or which may have unforeseen consequences to us and our customers, including the development and implementation of tools incorporating artificial intelligence; • increased competition in the financial services industry from non-banks such as credit unions and Fintech companies, including digital asset service providers; • our ability to adapt successfully to technological changes to compete effectively in the marketplace, including as a result of competition from other commercial banks, mortgage banking firms, credit unions, securities brokerage firms, insurance companies, and financial technology companies; • our ability to implement our organic and acquisition growth strategies, including the pending acquisition of Olympic Bancorp, Inc. (“Olympic”); • effects of critical accounting policies and judgments, including the use of estimates in determining fair value of certain of our assets, which estimates may prove to be incorrect and result in significant declines in valuation; • the commencement, costs, effects and outcome of litigation and other legal proceedings and regulatory actions against us or to which the Company may become subject; • potential impairment to the goodwill the Company recorded in connection with our past acquisitions, including the pending acquisition of Olympic; • loss of, or inability to attract, key personnel; • the effects of climate change, severe weather events, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics and other public health crises, acts of war or terrorism, and other external events on our business and the businesses of our clients; • the impact of bank failures or adverse developments at other banks and related negative publicity about the banking industry in general on investor and depositor sentiment regarding the stability and liquidity of banks; and • our success at managing and responding to the risks involved in the foregoing items. You should also consider the risks, assumptions and uncertainties set forth in the “Risk Factors” section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as well as those set forth in other reports we file with or furnish to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) which are available on our website at www.hf-wa.com and on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
