HomeStreet Reports First Quarter 2024 Results
SEATTLE –April 30, 2024 – (BUSINESS WIRE) – HomeStreet, Inc. (Nasdaq: HMST) (including its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company", "HomeStreet" or "we"), the parent company of HomeStreet Bank, today announced the financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. As we present non-GAAP measures in this release, the reader should refer to the non-GAAP reconciliations set forth below under the section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Operating Results | First quarter 2024 compared to fourth quarter 2023 Reported Results: •Net loss: $7.5 million compared to $3.4 million •Loss per fully diluted share: $0.40 compared to $0.18 •Net interest margin: 1.44% compared to 1.59% | |||||||
Core Results (1): •Loss: $5.5 million compared to $2.2 million •Loss per fully diluted share: $0.29 compared to $0.12 | ||||||||
“In the first quarter, we recognized a net loss of $7.5 million as our net interest margin decreased to 1.44% due to increased funding costs as lower cost deposits continued to migrate to higher yielding products,” said Mark Mason, Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer. "During the first quarter, our noninterest expenses include the impacts of seasonally higher employee benefit costs, the impact of wage increases effective in March, lower levels of full time equivalent employees and $2.6 million of costs incurred related to the merger process. While interest rates have stabilized and are projected to decline later in the year, we expect our operating results will continue to be adversely impacted by high funding costs relative to earning assets yields in the near term."
| Financial Position | As of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 •Noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $5 million •Excluding brokered deposits, total deposits increased by $25 million •Uninsured deposits were $494 million, or 8% of total deposits •Loans held for investment ("LHFI"), remained stable •Nonperforming assets to total assets: 0.56% •Allowance for credit losses to LHFI: 0.54% •Book value per share: $27.96 •Tangible book value per share: $27.49 (2) | |||||||
"Our deposit balances, excluding brokered deposits, were stable during the first quarter, and our noninterest-bearing balances increased slightly," continued Mark Mason. "While we continue to be impacted by the migration of deposits to higher yielding products, the pace of migration is slowing and the rates paid on higher yielding accounts by competitors have started to decline. We anticipate that if these trends continue, our funding costs will become more stable."

"Our loan balances have remained stable as they continue to be impacted by historically low levels of prepayments. We continue to focus on variable rate loan products with appropriate margins over incremental funding costs," added Mark Mason. " In the first quarter our nonaccrual loans and nonperforming assets increased due to the downgrade of a $10.4 million construction-bridge loan to nonperforming status. The completion and leasing of this 27% loan to value multifamily and mixed-use project has been delayed. The project is substantially complete but unable to lease as there is a dispute over an alleged minor building code violation. Our credit quality, however, remains strong and we have not identified any potentially significant credit issues in our loan portfolio."

Results of Operations
First Quarter of 2024 Compared to the Fourth Quarter of 2023
Non-core amounts: For the first quarter of 2024 and fourth quarter of 2023 non-core items include $2.6 million and $1.5 million of merger related expenses, respectively.
Our net loss and loss before income taxes were $(7.5) million and $(10.6) million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2024, as compared to $(3.4) million and $(4.0) million, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2023. The $6.5 million increase in loss before income taxes was due to lower net interest income, lower noninterest income and an increase in noninterest expense which was partially offset by a lower provision for credit losses.
The income tax benefit realized in the first quarter of 2024 resulted in an effective tax rate of 29.0% as compared to an effective tax rate of 14.8% in the fourth quarter of 2023. Our effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2024 was higher than our statutory rate of 24.6% due to the impact of tax advantaged investments which creates a higher benefit due to our loss. Our effective tax rate of 14.8% in the fourth quarter of 2023 was significantly impacted by the goodwill impairment charge taken in 2023, a portion of which was not deductible for tax purposes, the effect of which was partially offset by benefits of tax advantaged investments.
Our net interest income in the first quarter of 2024 was $2.8 million lower than the fourth quarter of 2023 due to a decrease in our net interest margin from 1.59% to 1.44%. The decrease in our net interest margin was due to a 19 basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities which was due primarily to a 22 basis point increase in the cost of deposits. The increase in the rates paid on deposits was due to the migration of noninterest-bearing and lower cost interest-bearing accounts to higher cost certificates of deposit and money market accounts.
There was no provision for credit losses recognized during the first quarter of 2024 as compared to a $0.4 million provision in the fourth quarter of 2023. These low levels of provisions for credit losses reflect the stable balance of our loan portfolio, a minimal level of identified credit issues in our loan portfolio and the lack of significant expected credit issues arising in future periods.
Noninterest income in the first quarter of 2024 decreased from the fourth quarter of 2023 primarily due to higher levels of income realized in the fourth quarter of 2023 from our investments in small business investment companies.
The increase in noninterest expenses in the first quarter of 2024, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 was primarily due to seasonally higher compensation costs and a $1.1 million increase in merger related expenses.

First Quarter of 2024 Compared to First Quarter of 2023
Non-core amounts: For the first quarter of 2024, non-core items include $2.6 million of merger related expenses.
Our net income (loss) and income (loss) before income taxes were $(7.5) million and $(10.6) million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2024, as compared to $5.1 million and $6.5 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2023. Our core net income (loss) and core income (loss) before income taxes in the first quarter of 2024, which excludes the impact of merger related expenses, was $(5.5) million and $(8.0) million, as compared to $5.1 million and $6.5 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2023. The $14.4 million decrease in core income before taxes was primarily due to lower net interest income, partially offset by a lower provision for credit losses.
The income tax benefit realized in the first quarter of 2024 resulted in an effective tax rate of 29.0% which was higher than our statutory rate of 24.6% due to the impact of tax advantaged investments which creates a higher benefit to our loss. Our effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2023 of 22.0% was lower than the statutory rate due to the benefits of tax advantaged investments.
Net interest income in the first quarter of 2024 decreased $17.2 million as compared to the first quarter of 2023 due primarily to a decrease in our net interest margin. Our net interest margin decreased from 2.23% in the first quarter of 2023 to 1.44% in the first quarter of 2024 due to a 110 basis point increase in the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities which was partially offset by a 19 basis point increase in the yield on interest earning assets. Yields on interest-earning assets increased as yields on adjustable rate loans increased due to increases in the indexes on which their pricing is based. The increase in the rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities was due to an increase in the proportion of higher cost borrowings and a decrease in the proportion of noninterest-bearing deposits to the total balance of interest-bearing liabilities and higher deposit costs and higher borrowing costs. The increases in the rates paid on deposits were due to increases in market interest rates over the prior year and the migration of noninterest-bearing and lower cost interest-bearing accounts to higher cost certificates of deposit and money market accounts.
There was no provision for credit losses recognized during the first quarter of 2024 as compared to a $0.6 million provision in the first quarter of 2023. These low levels of provisions for credit losses reflect the stable balance of our loan portfolio, a minimal level of identified credit issues in our loan portfolio and the lack of significant expected credit issues arising in future periods.
The $0.3 million decrease in noninterest expenses in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to the first quarter of 2023 was primarily due to lower compensation and benefit costs, partially offset by higher general, administrative and other costs. The decrease in compensation and benefit costs was primarily due to lower staffing levels, which was partially offset by wage increases given in the first quarter of 2024. FTEs decreased from 920 at the quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to 858 at the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The increase in general, administrative and other costs was primarily due to $2.6 million in merger related costs.
Financial Position
During the first quarter of 2024, our total assets increased $63 million due primarily to a $105 million increase in cash, partially offset by a decrease in investment securities. During the first quarter of 2024 total liabilities increased $74 million due to an increase in borrowings, partially offset by a decrease in deposits. The $272 million decrease in deposits was primarily due to a $297 million decrease in brokered certificates of deposit. The $349 million of additional borrowings were used to replace maturing brokered deposits and increase our on-balance sheet cash balances.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance.
In this earnings release, we use the following non-GAAP measures: (i) tangible common equity and tangible assets as we believe this information is consistent with the treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which exclude intangible assets from the calculation of capital ratios; (ii) core income (loss) and effective tax rate on core income (loss) before taxes, which excludes goodwill impairment charges and merger related expenses and the related tax impact as we believe this measure is a better comparison to be used for projecting future results and (iii) an efficiency ratio which is the ratio of noninterest expense to the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, excluding certain items of income or expense and excluding taxes incurred and payable to the state of Washington as such taxes are not classified as income taxes and we believe including them in noninterest expense impacts the comparability of our results to those companies whose operations are in states where assessed taxes on business are classified as income taxes.
These supplemental performance measures may vary from, and may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures provided by other companies in our industry. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. A non-GAAP financial measure may also be a financial metric that is not required by GAAP or other applicable requirements.
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by providing additional information used by management that is not otherwise required by GAAP or other applicable requirements. Our management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our operating results and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate a comparison of our performance to prior periods. We believe these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the information below, we have provided reconciliations of, where applicable, the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP measures used in this earnings release, or the computation of the non-GAAP financial measure.

Forward-Looking Statements
This earnings release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Reform Act”). Generally, forward-looking statements include the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “goal,” “upcoming,” “outlook,” “guidance” or "project" or the negation thereof, or similar expressions. In addition, all statements in this earnings release (including but not limited to those found in the quotes of our Chief Executive Officer) that address and/or include beliefs, assumptions, estimates, projections and expectations of our future performance and financial condition and trends in product mixes and expected impact on costs are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Reform Act. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond management’s control. Forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s expectations at the time such statements are made and speak only as of the date made. The Company does not assume any obligation or undertake to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this release as a result of new information, future events or developments, except as required by federal securities or other applicable laws, although the Company may do so from time to time.

HomeStreet Reports First Quarter 2024 Results
SEATTLE –April 30, 2024 – (BUSINESS WIRE) – HomeStreet, Inc. (Nasdaq: HMST) (including its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company", "HomeStreet" or "we"), the parent company of HomeStreet Bank, today announced the financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. As we present non-GAAP measures in this release, the reader should refer to the non-GAAP reconciliations set forth below under the section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Operating Results | First quarter 2024 compared to fourth quarter 2023 Reported Results: •Net loss: $7.5 million compared to $3.4 million •Loss per fully diluted share: $0.40 compared to $0.18 •Net interest margin: 1.44% compared to 1.59% | |||||||
Core Results (1): •Loss: $5.5 million compared to $2.2 million •Loss per fully diluted share: $0.29 compared to $0.12 | ||||||||
(1) Core loss and core loss per fully diluted share are non-GAAP measures. For a reconciliation of these measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measure see "Non-GAAP financial measures" in this earnings release.
“In the first quarter, we recognized a net loss of $7.5 million as our net interest margin decreased to 1.44% due to increased funding costs as lower cost deposits continued to migrate to higher yielding products,” said Mark Mason, Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer. "During the first quarter, our noninterest expenses include the impacts of seasonally higher employee benefit costs, the impact of wage increases effective in March, lower levels of full time equivalent employees and $2.6 million of costs incurred related to the merger process. While interest rates have stabilized and are projected to decline later in the year, we expect our operating results will continue to be adversely impacted by high funding costs relative to earning assets yields in the near term."
| Financial Position | As of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 •Noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $5 million •Excluding brokered deposits, total deposits increased by $25 million •Uninsured deposits were $494 million, or 8% of total deposits •Loans held for investment ("LHFI"), remained stable •Nonperforming assets to total assets: 0.56% •Allowance for credit losses to LHFI: 0.54% •Book value per share: $27.96 •Tangible book value per share: $27.49 (2) | |||||||
(2) Tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP measure. For a reconciliation of this measure to the nearest comparable GAAP measure see "Non-GAAP financial measures" in this earnings release.
"Our deposit balances, excluding brokered deposits, were stable during the first quarter, and our noninterest-bearing balances increased slightly," continued Mark Mason. "While we continue to be impacted by the migration of deposits to higher yielding products, the pace of migration is slowing and the rates paid on higher yielding accounts
by competitors have started to decline. We anticipate that if these trends continue, our funding costs will become more stable."
"Our loan balances have remained stable as they continue to be impacted by historically low levels of prepayments. We continue to focus on variable rate loan products with appropriate margins over incremental funding costs," added Mark Mason. " In the first quarter our nonaccrual loans and nonperforming assets increased due to the downgrade of a $10.4 million construction-bridge loan to nonperforming status. The completion and leasing of this 27% loan to value multifamily and mixed-use project has been delayed. The project is substantially complete but unable to lease as there is a dispute over an alleged minor building code violation. Our credit quality, however, remains strong and we have not identified any potentially significant credit issues in our loan portfolio."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance.
In this earnings release, we use the following non-GAAP measures: (i) tangible common equity and tangible assets as we believe this information is consistent with the treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which exclude intangible assets from the calculation of capital ratios; (ii) core income (loss) and effective tax rate on core income (loss) before taxes, which excludes goodwill impairment charges and merger related expenses and the related tax impact as we believe this measure is a better comparison to be used for projecting future results and (iii) an efficiency ratio which is the ratio of noninterest expense to the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, excluding certain items of income or expense and excluding taxes incurred and payable to the state of Washington as such taxes are not classified as income taxes and we believe including them in noninterest expense impacts the comparability of our results to those companies whose operations are in states where assessed taxes on business are classified as income taxes.
These supplemental performance measures may vary from, and may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures provided by other companies in our industry. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. A non-GAAP financial measure may also be a financial metric that is not required by GAAP or other applicable requirements.
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by providing additional information used by management that is not otherwise required by GAAP or other applicable requirements. Our management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our operating results and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate a comparison of our performance to prior periods. We believe these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the information below, we have provided reconciliations of, where applicable, the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP measures used in this earnings release, or the computation of the non-GAAP financial measure.
