Washington Federal Announces Quarterly Earnings Per Share Of $0.91

SEATTLE--()--Washington Federal, Inc. (Nasdaq: WAFD) (the "Company"), parent company of Washington Federal Bank ("WaFd Bank"), today announced quarterly earnings of $63,295,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, an increase of 33.5% from $47,422,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. After the effect of dividends on preferred stock, net income available for common shareholders was $0.91 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to $0.61 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, a $0.30 or 49.2% increase in fully diluted earnings per common share. Return on common shareholders' equity for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was 12.50% compared to 8.71% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Return on assets for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was 1.25% compared to 0.97% for the same quarter in the prior year.

President and Chief Executive Officer Brent J. Beardall commented, "We are pleased to report what is the best quarter in our 105-year history. Our bankers have worked diligently over the last decade to reposition our balance sheet to take advantage of rising interest rates and this quarter’s results reflect those ongoing efforts. Building our franchise by growing core deposits and expanding our commercial banking capabilities directly contributed to our net interest margin expanding from 2.82% a year ago to 3.22% this quarter, which was the primary driver of earnings growth. In addition to margin expansion, we benefited from continued growth of our loan portfolio, with net loans outstanding increasing by 15.6% since June 30, 2021. We believe that this growth rate will moderate going forward as rising costs and interest rates temper activity in the housing market.

"Inflation recently hit a 40-year high and the related cost pressures are real. We are actively managing operating expenses, including the consolidation of 25 branch locations over the last 18 months. Our efficiency ratio decreasing from 59% to 52% is tangible evidence of the operating leverage we've achieved over the last year by controlling expenses and growing revenue. Importantly, even as we focus on operating expenses, we continue to make strategic investments in technology. So far this year, we completed our migration from an on-premise data center to the cloud, built and launched our own internally developed consumer online banking platform and implemented the MX mobile banking solution. Couple these meaningful upgrades with future enhancements and we believe significant strides are being made toward becoming a digital first bank.

"From a macro-economic perspective, we recognize the risks on the horizon and expect future volatility as the Federal Reserve attempts to restore price stability. Given market expectations that a near-term recession is likely, we believe WaFd Bank is well positioned as our asset quality metrics remain very strong. At June 30, 2022, delinquencies totaled just 0.26% of loans outstanding, non-performing assets were only 0.25% of total assets, and net recoveries were $595,000 for the third fiscal quarter of 2022, marking eight consecutive years of net recoveries. At quarter's end, we had credit loss reserves of $203 million and $2.2 billion of shareholders' equity.

"Despite potential short-term challenges, the economic vitality of the markets we operate in is strong and we take pride in being a source of strength and consistent support for our clients."

Total assets were $20.2 billion as of June 30, 2022, compared to $19.7 billion at September 30, 2021, primarily due to the $1.7 billion increase in loans receivable funded by continued growth in customer deposits (noted below) and the $1.5 billion decline in cash. Investment securities increased by $124 million since September 30, 2021.

Customer deposits totaled $16.0 billion as of June 30, 2022, an increase of $424 million or 2.7% since September 30, 2021. Transaction accounts increased by $560 million or 4.6% during that period, while time deposits decreased $137 million or 4.0%. The shift in deposit mix has been the 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 June 30, 2022, 79.3% of the Company’s deposits were transaction accounts, up from 77.9% at September 30, 2021. Core deposits, defined as all transaction accounts and time deposits less than $250,000, totaled 96.3% of deposits at June 30, 2022.

Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") totaled $1.70 billion as of June 30, 2022, a decrease from $1.72 billion at September 30, 2021. The weighted average effective interest rate of FHLB borrowings was 1.43% as of June 30, 2022, a decrease from 1.51% at September 30, 2021. The decline in the weighted average effective interest rate was the result of replacing high-yielding, long-term FHLB borrowings with new borrowings at lower rates.

The Company had record loan originations of $2.74 billion for the third fiscal quarter of 2022, compared to $2.10 billion of originations in the same quarter one year ago. Largely offsetting loan originations in each of these quarters were loan repayments of $1.69 billion and $1.96 billion, respectively. Commercial loans represented 77% of all loan originations during the third fiscal quarter of 2022 and consumer loans accounted for the remaining 23%. 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 as they generally have floating interest rates and shorter durations. The weighted average interest rate on the loan portfolio was 3.77% as of June 30, 2022, an increase from 3.47% as of September 30, 2021, due primarily to higher rates on adjustable rate loans as well as higher rates on newly originated loans.

Credit quality is being monitored closely as economic stimulus comes to an end. As of June 30, 2022, non-performing assets remained low from a historical perspective and totaled $50.4 million, or 0.25% of total assets, compared to 0.23% at March 31, 2022 and 0.22% at September 30, 2021. Delinquent loans were 0.26% of total loans at June 30, 2022, compared to 0.30% at March 31, 2022 and 0.19% at September 30, 2021. The allowance for credit losses (including the reserve for unfunded commitments) totaled $203 million as of June 30, 2022, and was 1.08% of gross loans outstanding, as compared to $199 million, or 1.22% of gross loans outstanding, at September 30, 2021. Net recoveries were $595 thousand for the third fiscal quarter of 2022, compared to net recoveries of $1.1 million for the prior year same quarter. The Company has recorded net recoveries in 34 of the last 36 quarters.

The Company recorded a $1.5 million provision for credit losses in the third fiscal quarter of 2022, compared to a $2.0 million release of allowance for credit losses in the same quarter of fiscal 2021. The provision in the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to growth in loans receivable partially 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 April 15, 2022. On June 3, 2022, the Company paid a regular cash dividend on common stock of $0.24 per share, which represented the 157th consecutive quarterly cash dividend. If the Board declares a cash dividend on common stock at its August 9, 2022 meeting as anticipated, the record date and payment date are likely to be August 19, 2022 and September 2, 2022, respectively. During the third fiscal quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased 2,446 shares of common stock (related to tax withholding on employee equity awards) at a weighted average price of $31.36 per share and has authorization to repurchase 3,725,874 additional shares. The Company varies the size and pace of share repurchases depending on several factors, including share price, lending opportunities and capital levels. Since September 30, 2021, tangible common shareholders' equity per share increased by $1.39, or 6.0%, to $24.66. The ratio of total tangible shareholders' equity to tangible assets was 9.63% as of June 30, 2022.

Net interest income was $152 million for the third fiscal quarter of 2022, an increase of $23.1 million or 18.0% from the same quarter in the prior year. The increase in net interest income was due primarily to growth in average interest-earning assets outpacing growth in average interest-bearing liabilities as well as the impact of rising rates on adjustable rate assets. Average interest-earning assets increased by $684 million or 3.75% from the prior year while average interest-bearing liabilities increased $484 million or 3.44%. Average noninterest-bearing deposits grew by $387 million over the same period. The average rate earned on interest-earning assets increased by 30 basis points while the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities declined by 12 basis points. Net interest margin improved to 3.22% in the third fiscal quarter of 2022 compared to 2.90% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and 2.82% for the prior year quarter.

Total other income was $17.6 million for the third fiscal quarter of 2022 compared to $13.2 million in the prior year same quarter. The increase in other income was primarily due to an unrealized gain of $2.7 million that was recorded for certain equity investments in the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Total other expense was $87.4 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2022, an increase of $3.8 million, or 4.5%, from the prior year's quarter. Compensation and benefits costs increased by $4.2 million, or 9.7%, over the prior year quarter primarily due to annual merit increases, higher bonus compensation accruals related to strong deposit and loan growth and investments in top talent and contract staff to support strategic initiatives. The Company’s efficiency ratio in the third fiscal quarter of 2022 improved to 51.6%, compared to 59.0% for the same period one year ago due to income growth outpacing expense growth.

Income tax expense totaled $17.5 million for the third fiscal quarter of 2022, as compared to $12.6 million for the prior year same quarter. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was 21.70% compared to 21.00% in the prior year same quarter and 21.24% for the full year ended September 30, 2021. The Company’s effective tax rate may vary from the statutory rate mainly due to state taxes, tax-exempt income and tax-credit investments.
