WaFd Announces Quarterly Earnings Per Share Of $0.82

Q2 Highlights

$66 Million $0.82 0.96% 10.8%
Net Income Diluted Earnings per Common Share Return on Average Assets Return on Tangible Common Equity1 Uncertainty seems to be our new reality, not just in the banking sector, but also in the broader global context. Our strong foundation enabled us to deliver for our customers even during uncertain times. During the quarter, we executed on our strategic plan and grew our active loan segments by 12% annualized. Given our growth in loans, notable improvements in asset quality metrics, and a widening margin, we see a bright future in spite of current uncertainties. Our stock was trading near tangible book value for the majority of the quarter, so we aggressively bought back shares at less than 1.1x tangible book value. We were able to buy back 3.6% of total outstanding shares during the quarter. Our return on tangible common equity was 10.8% making it one of the best investment alternatives available to us. Credit goes to our amazing team of bankers that is working hard to deliver for our clients."

Quarterly Earnings Release Q2 2026 2

WaFd Inc. Announces Second Quarter Results

Balance Sheet Total assets increased to $27.6 billion as of March 31, 2026, compared to $26.7 billion at September 30, 2025, primarily due to the purchase of investment securities during the period. Investment securities increased by $919 million, or 22.0% in the six months ended March 31, 2026, a result of $1.2 billion of purchases, primarily discount-priced 30-year mortgage backed securities at an expected yield to maturity of 4.87%. Net loans decreased $122 million to $20.0 billion and cash increased $12 million, or 1.9% during same period.

Customer deposits totaled $21.1 billion as of March 31, 2026, compared to $21.4 billion at September 30, 2025. The effective weighted average interest rate, including non-interest-bearing deposits, was 2.41% as of March 31, 2026, compared to 2.69% at September 30, 2025. Transaction accounts increased by $440 million or 3.6% during the six months ended March 31, 2026, while time deposits decreased $754 million or 8.3%. As of March 31, 2026, 60.3% of the Company’s deposits were transaction accounts, an increase from 57.4% at September 30, 2025. Core deposits, defined as all transaction accounts and time deposits less than $250,000, totaled 80.4% of deposits at March 31, 2026, up from 77.9% on September 30, 2025. Deposits that are uninsured or not collateralized were 25.2% of total deposits as of March 31, 2026, a decrease from 26.2% as of September 30, 2025.

Borrowings totaled $3.1 billion as of March 31, 2026, up from $1.8 billion at September 30, 2025. The effective weighted average interest rate of borrowings was 3.01% as of March 31, 2026, compared to 2.50% at September 30, 2025.

Loan originations for active loan types totaled $1.5 billion for the second fiscal quarter of 2026, compared to $1.1 billion of originations in the prior quarter. Offsetting loan originations for these loan types in each of these quarters were loan repayments of $0.9 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively. Active loan types include the commercial segment and the consumer portfolio. Inactive loan-types include all consumer residential portfolios. These loan types had repayments of $0.3 billion during the quarter. Commercial loans represented 96% of all loan originations during the second fiscal quarter of 2026 and consumer loans accounted for the remaining 4%. The period end interest yield on the loan portfolio was 5.26% as of March 31, 2026, a decrease from 5.38% at September 30, 2025.

Tangible common equity per share is a key metric for our management team. For the six months ended March 31, 2026, tangible book value per share grew to $30.27 at March 31, 2026 from $29.38 as of September 30, 2025. This metric is a non-GAAP Financial Measure. See page 9 for additional information on our use of non-GAAP Financial Measures. During the quarter, the Company repurchased 2,738,096 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $31.85. In February, the WaFd, Inc. Board of Directors authorized an increase in shares available to be repurchased to a total of 10 million shares. Our share repurchase plan currently has a remaining authorization of 8.0 million shares which, depending on share price, provides a compelling investment alternative.

Credit Quality Considering the shifting economic and monetary environment, further impacted by recent global developments, credit quality continues to be monitored closely. As of March 31, 2026, non-performing assets decreased to $132 million, or 0.48% of total assets, from $203 million, or 0.75%, at December 31, 2025 and from $143 million, or 0.54%, at September 30, 2025. The change is due to non-accrual loans decreasing by $4.8 million, or 4%, since September 30, 2025 combined with decreases in real estate owned ("REO") of $3.0 million and other property owned of $3.3 million during the same time frame. Delinquent loans increased to 0.78% of total loans at March 31, 2026, compared to 0.60% at September 30, 2025 but decreased compared to 1.07% at December 31, 2025.

The allowance for credit losses (including the reserve for unfunded commitments) totaled $224 million as of March 31, 2026, and was 1.05% of gross loans outstanding, as compared to $221 million, or 1.04% of gross loans outstanding, as of September 30, 2025. Net charge-offs were $0.6 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2026, compared to $3.7 million for the prior quarter.

Profitability Net interest income was $178 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2026, an increase of $6.5 million or 4% from the prior quarter. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to an 5 basis point increase in the rate earned on interest earning assets combined with a 9 basis point decrease in the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities. As a result of these changes, net interest margin increased to 2.81% in the second fiscal quarter of 2026 compared to 2.70% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.

Total non-interest income was $19.8 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2026 compared to $20.3 million the prior quarter. The decrease compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to losses taken on certain equity method investments in the quarter offset by increased commission income from the Bank's insurance subsidiary, WaFd Insurance.

Total non-interest expense was $109.9 million in the second fiscal quarter of 2026, an increase of $4.1 million, or 3.9%, from the prior quarter. The increase is the result of increased compensation and technology expenses, reflecting annual merit increases and continued investment in operational efficiency.

Quarterly Earnings Release Q2 2026 3

WaFd Inc. Announces Second Quarter Results

The Company recorded a $4.0 million provision for credit losses in the second fiscal quarter of 2026 compared to a provision of $3.5 million the prior quarter. The provision for loan losses in the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was the net result of increased commercial loan originations. $0.6 million of net charge-offs were taken during the quarter.

Return on common shareholders' equity for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was 9.05% compared to 8.86% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. Adjusted for certain non-operating items, return on equity for the quarter was 9.12% compared to adjusted return on equity of 8.49% the prior quarter. Return on assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was 0.96%, unchanged from the previous quarter. Adjusted for certain non-operating items, return on assets for the quarter was 0.97% compared to adjusted return on assets of 0.92% the prior quarter. For a reconciliation of these adjusted ratios, see the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below.

Income tax expense totaled $18.3 million the second fiscal quarter of 2026, as compared to $18.1 million for the prior quarter. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was 21.8% compared to 22.0% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The Company’s effective tax rate may vary from the statutory rate mainly due to state taxes, tax-exempt income and tax-credit investments.

WAFD, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NON-GAAP MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has presented certain non-GAAP measures within this document to remove the effect of certain income and expenses to provide investors with information useful in understanding our financial performance. The Company considers these items to be non-operating in nature as they are items that management does not consider indicative of the Company's on-going financial performance. We believe that the tables presented reflect our on-going performance in the periods presented and, accordingly, are useful to consider in addition to our GAAP financial results. These measures should not be considered a substitution for GAAP basis disclosures.

Other companies may use similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures that are calculated differently from the way they are calculated herein. Because of this, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by others. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on such measures. See the following unaudited tables for reconciliations of our non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
