FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Washington Federal Reports Record Earnings Per Share Increase of 42% For 2022

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – Washington Federal, Inc. (Nasdaq: WAFD) (the "Company"), parent company of Washington Federal Bank ("WaFd Bank"), today announced record annual earnings of $236,330,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $52,715,000 from earnings of $183,615,000 for the year ended September 30, 2021. After the effect of dividends on preferred stock, net income available for common shareholders was $3.39 per share for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, a $1.00 or 41.8% increase from $2.39 for the prior fiscal year. Return on common shareholders' equity for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 was 11.70% compared to 8.69% for the year ended September 30, 2021. Return on assets for the year ended September 30, 2022 was 1.17% compared to 0.95% for the prior year.

President and Chief Executive Officer Brent J. Beardall commented, "Fiscal year 2022 was the best year for WaFd Bank in our 105-year history. We broke records for net income, earnings per share, loan growth, total loans, loan production, book value per share, and tangible book value per share. Over the last several years, we worked to execute our strategic plan to position the bank to prepare for and actually benefit from rising interest rates, all while maintaining a conservative credit posture. I thank our clients and the almost 2,200 employees of WaFd Bank that made these results possible, but I also must acknowledge the role market interest rates have played. We remained patient and withstood earnings pressure as we experienced near-record low net interest margins following the Federal Reserve Bank taking interest rates to zero at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now we are benefiting from the 300 basis point increase in rates over the last seven months as the Federal Reserve Bank works to regain price stability.

"With the Fed’s moves this year, we experienced significant expansion of our net interest margin. One year ago, the Bank’s margin was 2.88% and by the end of the fourth quarter, it reached 3.64%, a 26% increase in a single year. Compounding the margin improvement, we grew loans outstanding from $13.8 billion to $16.1 billion, a 17% year over year increase. The 3.64% margin is the highest we have experienced since 2005, which bodes well for future performance.

"We learned through the years that the key to long-term success is to continue to invest in both your teams and your technology. It is difficult to grow if you cut staff or reduce your IT budget. WaFd is continuing to make significant investments in both our teams and our technology to drive growth. Even with continued investments in these areas, the Bank’s efficiency ratio, which is a measure of how many cents it costs to earn one dollar of net revenue, decreased from 57% in the fourth quarter of 2021 to 50% this quarter, the best efficiency ratio we have reported in the last five years.

"There are no guarantees as to what the future holds, but at this point in time, our credit quality is about as strong as we have ever seen it. We posted net recoveries for the ninth consecutive year, meaning for each of the last nine years we recovered more from loans that we previously charged-off during the Great Recession (2008-2010) than we charged off. To do that for nine years straight is an astounding feat. I don’t know of any other publicly traded bank that can match that record, and that is a tribute to our clients that worked though serious challenges and to our collections teams.

"Lastly, I want to call out the 9.5% year-over-year growth in tangible book value per share. This is especially gratifying, given so many banks have taken meaningful market value losses on their investment portfolios, resulting in large swings in their accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). By keeping the majority of our investments in shorter duration assets and putting in place long-term hedges over the last two years, WaFd Bank has been an outlier in that regard. We believe that WaFd Bank is well positioned to withstand the economic volatility that seems to be on the horizon and continue to be a source of strength and stability for our clients."

Total assets were $20.8 billion as of September 30, 2022, an increase of 5.7% from $19.7 billion at September 30, 2021, primarily due to record loan originations (noted below) funded by continued growth in customer deposits, increased Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances and decreased cash. Net loans increased by $2.3 billion, or 16.5%, while deposits increased $0.5 billion, FHLB advances increased $0.4 billion and cash decreased by $1.4 billion.

Customer deposits totaled $16.0 billion as of September 30, 2022, an increase of 3.1% since September 30, 2021. Transaction accounts increased by $0.6 billion or 4.8% during the fiscal year 2022, while time deposits decreased $96 million or 2.8%. The shift in deposit mix has been a result of a deliberate deposit pricing and customer growth strategy. The focus on transaction accounts is intended to lessen sensitivity to rising interest rates and manage interest expense. As of September 30, 2022, 79.2% of the Company's deposits were in transaction accounts. Core deposits, defined as all transaction accounts and time deposits less than $250,000, totaled 95.2% of deposits at September 30, 2022. The loan-to-deposit ratio was 100.5% at September 30, 2022 compared to 89.0% at September 30, 2021.

Borrowings from the FHLB totaled $2.1 billion as of September 30, 2022, an increase of $405 million or 23.5% since September 30, 2021. The weighted average effective interest rate for FHLB borrowings was 2.02% as of September 30, 2022, versus 1.51% at September 30, 2021, the increase being primarily due to higher rates on new short-term borrowings. As of September 30, 2022, $1.1 billion of the $2.13 billion in outstanding FHLB advances have effective maturities greater than one year.

Record loan originations totaled $8.7 billion for fiscal year 2022 compared to $8.2 billion in fiscal year 2021. Fiscal 2022 did not contain any SBA Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loan originations as compared to $321.937 million originated in fiscal 2021. Partially offsetting the loan origination volume in each of these years were loan repayments of $6.2 billion and $6.8 billion, respectively. Commercial loans represented 78% of all loan originations during fiscal 2022 with consumer loans accounting for the remaining 22%. The Company views organic loan growth funded by low-cost core deposits as the highest and best use of its capital. Commercial loans are preferable in this low-rate environment due to the fact they generally have floating interest rates and shorter durations. The weighted average interest rate on the loan portfolio was 4.25% as of September 30, 2022, an increase from 3.47% at September 30, 2021, due primarily to higher rates on adjustable rate loans and newly originated loans.

Credit quality is being monitored closely in light of the shifting economic and monetary environment. As of September 30, 2022, non-performing assets remained low from a historical perspective at $45 million, or 0.21% of total assets, compared to 0.22% as of September 30, 2021. Since September 30, 2021, real estate owned decreased by $1.5 million and non-accrual loans increased by $2.8 million. Delinquent loans were 0.17% of total loans at September 30, 2022 compared to 0.19% at September 30, 2021. The allowance for credit losses (including the reserve for unfunded commitments) totaled $205 million as of September 30, 2022 and was 1.06% of gross loans as compared to $199 million or 1.22% of gross loans as of September 30,

  1. Net recoveries were $3.5 million for fiscal year 2022 compared to net recoveries of $6.3 million in fiscal 2021. The Company has recorded net recoveries for nine consecutive years.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $3 million in fiscal 2022, compared to provision of $0.5 million in fiscal 2021. In fiscal 2022, provisioning for net growth in the loan portfolio was mostly offset by improvements in the credit quality of certain loan portfolios related to strong real estate markets and collateral conditions.

The Company paid a quarterly dividend on the 4.875% Series A preferred stock on July 15, 2022. On September 2, 2022, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.24 per share to common stockholders of record on August 19, 2022, which was the Company’s 158th consecutive quarterly cash dividend. Tangible common shareholders’ equity per share increased by $2.22 or 9.54% during fiscal 2022 to $25.49. The ratio of tangible shareholders' equity to tangible assets increased to 9.60% as of September 30, 2022.

Net interest income was $595 million for fiscal 2022, an increase of $89 million or 17.7% from the prior year. The increase in net interest income from the prior year was primarily due to average interest-earning assets increasing by $776 million or 4.30% while average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $273 million or 1.92%. Average noninterest-bearing deposits grew by $569 million over the same period. The change in net interest income was also impacted by the average rate earned on interest-earning assets increasing by 26 basis points while the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities declined by 11 basis points. Net interest margin of 3.16% in fiscal 2022 was up from 2.80% for the prior year. Net interest margin of 3.64% in the 4th fiscal quarter of 2022 was up from 2.88% in the same quarter of the prior year. This increase in net interest margin is directly attributable to both increasing market interest rates and the intentional shift over the last several years towards transaction deposits and commercial loans mentioned above.

Total other income was $66 million for fiscal year 2022, an increase from $61 million in the prior year. The increase in other income is primarily due to unrealized gains recorded for certain equity investments being $3 million higher in fiscal 2022 versus 2021.

Total operating expenses were $359 million for fiscal 2022, an increase of $26 million or 7.9% from the prior year. Compensation and benefits costs increased $18 million or 10.11% year-over-year primarily due to annual merit increases, higher bonus compensation accruals related to strong deposit and loan growth, and strategic investments in top talent and strategic initiatives. Operating expenses were $93.1 million for the

4th fiscal quarter of 2022, an increase of $7.5 million or 8.7% from the same quarter a year ago due primarily to the compensation related changes noted above. The Company’s efficiency ratio was 54.25% for fiscal 2022 as compared to 58.77% for the prior year due to income growth outpacing expense growth. The efficiency ratio was 49.5% for the 4th fiscal quarter of 2022 compared to 56.8% for the same quarter a year ago.

For the year ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded federal and state income tax expense of $64 million, which equates to a 21.23% effective tax rate. This compares to an effective tax rate of 21.24% for fiscal year 2021. The Company's effective tax rate for fiscal 2022 differs from the statutory federal tax rate mainly due to state taxes, tax-exempt income, tax-credit investments and certain differences in book and tax deductions.
