Olympia, WA - Heritage Financial Corporation (NASDAQ GS: HFWA) (the “Company” or “Heritage”), the parent company of Heritage Bank (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $6.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $18.2 million for the third quarter of 2023 and $22.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $0.18 compared to $0.51 for the third quarter of 2023 and $0.64 for the fourth quarter of 2022. Net income for the year ended 2023 totaled $61.8 million, or $1.75 per diluted share as compared to $81.9 million, or $2.31 per diluted share for 2022.
In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company incurred a pre-tax loss of $10.0 million on the sale of investment securities due to the strategic repositioning of its investment portfolio, which affected diluted earnings per share by $0.22 for the quarter. The Company sold $151.8 million in investment securities with an estimated weighted average book yield of 2.41% and purchased $140.7 million of investment securities with an estimated weighted average book yield of 6.08%. The remaining proceeds from sales were invested in interest earning deposits. As a result of these actions, we anticipate an estimated annualized improvement of $5.3 million in interest income.
Further, costs relating to expense management measures totaling $2.0 million were recognized in the fourth quarter relating to contract renewal negotiations, contract cancellations and severance payments which were undertaken to improve future earnings. These noninterest expenses impacted diluted earnings per share by $0.04 for the quarter. These costs, in addition to approximately $1.2 million of severance costs incurred in the first quarter of 2024 due to staff reductions, are expected to provide annualized costs savings of approximately $5.3 million in future periods.
Jeffrey J. Deuel, President and Chief Executive Officer of Heritage, commented, "We are pleased with our accomplishments in the fourth quarter which included strong loan growth, expense management measures and repositioning of our investment portfolio. Although costs related to these activities are impacting current earnings, we expect enhanced earnings in future periods. We believe these actions, coupled with our strong balance sheet, will provide sustainable long-term returns for our shareholders.
We are also pleased to report that Heritage Bank is partnering with Community Roots Housing on the renovation of the historic Devonshire Apartments. This project will preserve 62 units of affordable housing in Seattle’s Belltown Neighborhood. Heritage provided a $16.9 million construction loan and $2.6 million permanent loan to update the building, which was originally built in 1925. The renovations will provide significant seismic upgrades, make the building more energy efficient and improve
living conditions for residents, all while preserving the historic brickwork façade. The project will continue to provide affordable housing, serving residents earning 50% to 60% of the Area Median Income. Heritage is proud to be a partner in preserving aging affordable housing stock in Seattle."

Allowance for Credit Losses and Provision for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") on loans as a percentage of loans receivable was 1.11% at December 31, 2023 compared to 1.10% at September 30, 2023. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a $1.7 million provision for credit losses on loans, compared to a $635,000 reversal of provision for credit losses on loans during the third quarter of 2023. The provision for credit losses on loans during the fourth quarter of 2023 was primarily driven by loan growth during the quarter.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a $246,000 reversal of provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments compared to a $243,000 reversal of provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments during the third quarter of 2023. The reversal of provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments during the fourth quarter of 2023 was due primarily to a $39.0 million decrease in the unfunded exposure on construction loans.

Credit Quality
The percentage of classified loans to loans receivable increased slightly to 1.61% at December 31, 2023, compared to 1.47% at September 30, 2023. Classified loans include loans rated substandard or worse. Total classified loans and loans designated as special mention increased by $14.9 million to $149.7 million at December 31, 2023, compared to $134.8 million at September 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to the transfer of a $7.1 million commercial and industrial loan to special mention and a $6.0 million commercial and industrial lending relationship to substandard offset partially by repayments and transfers of previously classified and special mention loans to a pass rating.
The following table illustrates total loans by risk rating and their respective percentage of total loans at the dates indicated:

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income decreased $1.7 million, or 3.1%, during the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2023 due primarily to an increase of $2.5 million in interest expense partially offset by a $795,000 increase in interest income. Net interest margin decreased six basis points to 3.41% during the fourth quarter of 2023 from 3.47% during the third quarter of 2023.
The cost of interest bearing deposits increased 25 basis points to 1.48% for the fourth quarter of 2023 from 1.23% for the third quarter of 2023.
This increase was primarily due to customers transferring balances from non-maturity deposits to higher rate certificates of deposit. The yield on interest earning assets increased 12 basis points to 4.70% for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to 4.58% for the third quarter of 2023. The yield on loans receivable, net increased five basis points to 5.35% during the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to 5.30% during the third quarter of 2023 due to higher rates on new and renewed loans and recoveries of interest on loans classified as nonaccrual loans that paid off during the quarter which contributed three basis points to the yield on loans receivable. The yield on taxable securities increased 15 basis points to 3.15% during the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to 3.00% during the third quarter of 2023 due to sales of $151.8 million of lower yielding investments with a weighted average yield of 2.41% offset by purchases of $140.7 million of higher yielding investments with a weighted average yield of 6.08%.
Net interest income decreased $9.2 million, or 14.6%, during the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 and the net interest margin decreased 57 basis points from 3.98% during this same period. The decrease was due primarily to an increase in interest expense due to an increase in deposit rates and borrowing expense partially offset by an increase in yields earned on interest earning assets following increases in market interest rates.
The following table provides relevant net interest income information for the periods indicated:

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income decreased $9.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2023 from the third quarter of 2023 and decreased $9.7 million from the same period in 2022 due primarily to a $10.0 million pre-tax loss on the sale of investment securities available for sale. Card revenue decreased during the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2023 due to annual incentives of $250,000 recognized in the third quarter of 2023 as well as general declines in income due to lower transaction account volume. Other income decreased during the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2023 due to a $610,000 gain on sale of the Ellensburg branch which was recognized in the third quarter of 2023.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense increased $1.8 million, or 4.3%, during the fourth quarter of 2023 from the third quarter of 2023. Compensation and employee benefits expenses decreased primarily due to a reduction in employees and included $148,000 in severance costs. Data processing expenses increased due primarily to a $320,000 accrual for the early termination of a technology-related contract. Marketing expenses increased due to an increase in marketing efforts during the fourth quarter of 2023. Professional services increased due primarily to a $1.5 million expense related to renewal of the core vendor contract during the fourth quarter of 2023.
Noninterest expense increased $2.3 million, or 5.8%, during the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. Occupancy and equipment expense increased due primarily to our expansion into Boise, Idaho and annual increases in
lease expenses. Federal deposit insurance premiums increased due to the increase in the assessment rate starting in January 2023. Data processing expenses and professional services increased primarily due to the same reasons stated above.

Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense decreased during the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to a decrease in income before income taxes. Additionally, the effective income tax rate was lower during the fourth quarter of 2023, resulting from a decrease in annual pre-tax income for the year ended 2023 which increased the impact of favorable permanent tax items such as tax-exempt investments, investments in bank owned life insurance and tax credits. The effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2023 was 15.3% as compared to 17.7% for the year ended December 31, 2022.
