Fully diluted EPS $1.01

ROAA: 1.10% |
HomeStreet, Inc. (Nasdaq:HMST) (including its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company" or "HomeStreet"), the parent company of HomeStreet Bank, today announced the financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. 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.”
“During the first quarter of 2022, our focus on growth resulted in a $331 million increase in our loans held for investment which supports future growth in our net interest income,” said Mark K. Mason, HomeStreet’s Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer. “Continued improvement in our loan portfolio credit quality and reduced uncertainty related to the pandemic resulted in a $9 million recovery in our provision for credit losses. Expected declines in gain on sale revenues resulting from lower single family loans originated for sale and our decision to not sell multifamily portfolio loans in the quarter resulted in lower earnings when compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. Our efficiency ratio, which increased due to the decline in revenues, is expected to significantly improve in future periods due to anticipated increasing levels of net interest income and stable noninterest expenses. Overall, assuming continued strong loan originations, we anticipate meaningful earnings growth going forward as a result of our portfolio growth focus and operating leverage.”

“Loan originations were strong in the current quarter with $747 million of loan originations,” added Mr. Mason. “Our loans held for investment increased at an annualized rate of 24% during the first quarter and our loan pipelines are near record levels. Total deposits increased at an annualized rate of 8% while noninterest bearing deposits continue to increase as a percentage of total deposits."

Mr. Mason concluded, “The completion of our $100 million subordinated notes offering in January 2022 provided funds to allow us to complete the repurchase of $75 million of stock during the first quarter, equivalent to a reduction of over 7% of our outstanding shares at the beginning of the year. Additionally, in the first quarter, we increased our quarterly dividend by 40% to $0.35 per share. We anticipate continuing to efficiently retain capital for growth while returning excess capital to shareholders."

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 press 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 excluded intangible assets from the calculation of capital ratios; and (ii) an efficiency ratio which is the ratio of noninterest expenses 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 expenses 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. Rather, 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 press release, or a reconciliation of the non-GAAP calculation of the financial measure.
