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 $13.9 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $11.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 and $5.7 million for the first quarter of 2024. Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2025 were $0.40 compared to $0.34 for the fourth quarter of 2024 and $0.16 for the first quarter of 2024.
In the first quarter of 2025, the Company incurred a pre-tax loss of $3.9 million on the sale of investment securities in connection with the strategic repositioning of its balance sheet, which decreased diluted earnings per share by $0.09 for the quarter. The Company sold $60.9 million of investment securities with a book yield of 2.60%. Proceeds were used to purchase $28.2 million in investment securities with a book yield of 4.55% and fund new loans originated during the quarter.

Jeff Deuel, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, "We are very pleased with our operating results for the first quarter, which included solid deposit growth, margin expansion and lower cost of deposits. In addition, we have maintained strong credit quality metrics including low levels of net charge-offs and nonaccrual loan balances. We continue to strategically reposition our balance sheet to improve future profitability and invest in new production teams with the most recent in the Spokane market, where we see significant opportunity to grow our business. Although these actions may impact current earnings, we believe future earnings will be enhanced and we are optimistic that the combination of our strong balance sheet and prudent risk management will provide sustainable long-term returns for our shareholders."

Balance Sheet
Cash and cash equivalents increased $131.6 million to $248.7 million at March 31, 2025 from $117.1 million at December 31, 2024 primarily due to deposit growth during the quarter.
Total investment securities decreased $53.8 million, or 3.7%, to $1.41 billion at March 31, 2025 from $1.47 billion at December 31, 2024. As previously noted, the Company sold $60.9 million of investment securities at a pre-tax loss of $3.9 million during the quarter as part of its strategic balance sheet repositioning. In addition, there were investment maturities and repayments of $36.8 million during the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was partially offset by investment security purchases of $28.2 million during the first quarter of 2025 and a $15.5 million decrease in unrealized losses on available for sale securities, due primarily to changes in market rates.

Allowance for Credit Losses and Provision for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") on loans as a percentage of loans receivable was 1.09% at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a $9,000 reversal of provision for credit losses on loans, compared to a $1.1 million provision for credit losses on loans during the fourth quarter of 2024. The reversal of provision for credit losses on loans during the quarter was due primarily to a decline in loan balances. Net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2025 were $299,000.
During the first quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a $60,000 provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments compared to a $79,000 provision during the fourth quarter of 2024. The provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments during the first quarter of 2025 was due primarily to an increase in the unfunded exposure on loans.

Net Interest Margin and Net Interest Income
The net interest margin increased eight basis points to 3.44% during the first quarter of 2025 from 3.36% during the fourth quarter of 2024.
The yield on interest earning assets increased two basis points to 4.95% for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 4.93% for the fourth quarter of 2024 due to the change in mix of earning assets to higher yielding assets as average loan balances increased by $76.2 million while average balances of investment securities declined by $86.7 million. The yield on loans receivable decreased two basis points to 5.45% during the first quarter of 2025 compared to 5.47% during the fourth quarter of 2024 as loans indexed to Prime or SOFR repriced at lower rates due to reductions in the federal funds rate occurring late in the fourth quarter of 2024.
The cost of interest bearing deposits decreased six basis points to 1.92% for the first quarter of 2025 from 1.98% for the fourth quarter of 2024. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in certificate of deposit rates during the quarter.
Net interest income decreased $73,000, or 0.1%, during the first quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 due primarily to the first quarter of 2025 including fewer days than the fourth quarter of 2024. Total interest expense decreased $1.5 million during the quarter offset by a decrease in total interest income of $1.6 million.
The net interest margin increased 15 basis points to 3.44% from 3.29% compared to the same period in the prior year. Net interest income increased $2.2 million, or 4.2%, during the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. The increase was due primarily to an increase in yields earned on interest earning assets following increases in market interest rates and a decrease in borrowing interest expense due to lower average borrowing balances, partially offset by an increase in deposit interest expense resulting from increased deposit average balances and rates.

(1) Annualized; average balances are calculated using daily balances.
(2) Average loans receivable includes loans held for sale and loans classified as nonaccrual, which carry a zero yield. Interest earned on loans receivable includes the amortization of net deferred loan fees of $753,000, $878,000 and $809,000 for the first quarter of 2025, fourth quarter of 2024 and first quarter of 2024, respectively.
(3) Yields on tax-exempt loans and securities have not been stated on a tax-equivalent basis.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income increased $613,000 to $3.9 million during the first quarter of 2025 from $3.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase was due primarily to an increase in bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") income as the fourth quarter of 2024 BOLI income included $508,000 in costs related to a BOLI restructuring. Interest rate swap fees declined due to lower activity during the first quarter of 2025.
Noninterest income increased $6.8 million from the same period in 2024 due primarily to the decrease in loss resulting from the above-referenced sale of investment securities recognized in the first quarter of 2025 as part of the strategic repositioning of the balance sheet, compared to the loss recognized in the same quarter in 2024 in connection with the prior balance sheet repositioning transaction.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense increased $1.8 million, or 4.7%, during the first quarter of 2025 from the fourth quarter of 2024 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.
7

Noninterest expense increased $1.0 million, or 2.5%, during the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Data processing expense increased due to annual cost increases and a $230,000 refund recognized in the first quarter of 2024 related to a contract termination.

The decrease in income tax expense during the first quarter of 2025 compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to additional tax expense of $2.4 million related to the BOLI restructuring during the fourth quarter of 2024.
Income tax expense increased $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to same period in 2024 due to higher pre-tax income during the first quarter of 2025.
