WaFd's Annual Earnings Per Share Increased 10% For 2023 Even After Net Interest Margin Contraction and Outsized Provision For Credit Losses

WaFd, Inc. (Nasdaq: WAFD) (the "Company"), parent company of WaFd Bank (the "Bank"), today announced record annual earnings of $257,426,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $21,096,000 from earnings of $236,330,000 for the year ended September 30, 2022. After the effect of dividends on preferred stock, net income available for common shareholders was $3.72 per share for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, a $0.33 or 9.7% increase from $3.39 for the prior fiscal year. Return on common shareholders' equity for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, was 11.69% compared to 11.70% for the year ended September 30, 2022. Return on assets for the year ended September 30, 2023, was 1.18% compared to 1.17% for the prior year.

President and CEO Brent Beardall commented, “This past year was a roller-coaster for the banking industry. At WaFd, despite the ups and downs in the industry, the year culminated in record net income and earnings per share for the Company. We are grateful to our bankers for their efforts and to our clients for the trust that led to these results.

I am most pleased that for the year our total deposits increased, and the percentage of uninsured deposits decreased to 26%. In a year that saw the second and third largest bank failures in the history of the United States and net outflows of deposits in the banking industry, we view the fact that we were able to achieve net deposit growth as a meaningful accomplishment. One of the commonalities of the failed banks in 2023 was a high percentage of uninsured deposits (70 to 95%), so having only 26% of uninsured deposits at WaFd is a nice contrast.

Over the past two years, the Federal Reserve has increased its short-term interest rates from 0.25% to 5.50%. The impact of increasing interest rates was substantial. This increase occurred at the fastest pace and to the highest absolute level in forty years. For example, the rate on a 30-year fixed rate mortgage is now 8%. Two years ago, that rate would have been 3%. The rate for a short-term construction loan today is around 8.5%. Two years ago, a comparable rate would have been only 2.5%. Higher borrowing costs means our clients have less cash available for discretionary expenditures. Essentially, the challenging interest rate environment is exposing weaknesses. The Bank experienced its first material net charge-off in a decade this past year when we charged off approximately $40 million, primarily due to one commercial loan currently in bankruptcy. We believe the conditions surrounding this credit were idiosyncratic. As we do with all material losses, we will study the circumstances to understand the causation and learn from it going forward.

For the Bank, the higher rates translated into higher interest expense on both deposits and borrowings. Interest expense for the year increased $281 million or 391%. Even with interest expense increasing almost four-fold, it was more than offset by a $377 million increase in interest income, resulting in growth in net interest income by $96 million or 16%. Our margin for the year increased from 3.16% to 3.40%. However, our quarterly margin has decreased every quarter of this fiscal year from 3.69% in December to 3.13% in September. Importantly, the margin for the month of September 2023 was 3.10%, just 3 basis points below the quarterly margin signaling margin compression is slowing. This could be an indication we are approaching the trough for this rate cycle if the Fed is done raising rates.

One of the biggest challenges for our bankers this year has been the intentional slowing of loan production to match the significant reduction in loan repayments. Our clients are astute, not many borrowers want to pre-pay loans that are materially below current rates. As a result, loan repayments decreased from $6.2 billion to $4.4 billion. Our bankers have shifted their efforts to selling the distinctive functionality of our deposit products and supporting our clients in these shifting economic times.

The market is keenly aware of margin compression and additional credit stressors facing lenders and that is why banks, including WaFd, are trading at a significant discount to the broader market. We remain focused on what we can control, like tangible book value per share. For the year 2023, we grew tangible book value per share by 10% to $28.05.

We continue to make strategic investments in both our technology and our teams and we are pleased to see that our clients are noticing. Our Net Promoter Score, a measure of how likely clients are to recommend a company, increased to an all-time high of 57. The average for the industry is approximately 30 (the higher the score the better). Our belief is that the upheaval in the regional banking space is providing a rare opportunity for WaFd Bank to earn more market share in the Western United States. Our value proposition remains consistent: We strive to combine a strong balance sheet, deep relationships and intuitive technology that simplifies banking.”

Total assets were $22.5 billion as of September 30, 2023, an increase of 8.2% from $20.8 billion at September 30, 2022, primarily due to the $1.4 billion, or 8.5%, increase in net loans. In addition, cash increased by $297 million.

The Bank's held-to-maturity ("HTM") investments were $424 million as of September 30, 2023, with a net unrealized loss of $55 million. Although not permitted by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), including these unrealized losses in accumulated other comprehensive income would result in a ratio of shareholder's equity to total assets of 10.55% compared to 10.80%, as reported.

Customer deposits totaled $16.1 billion as of September 30, 2023, an increase of 0.3% since September 30, 2022. Transaction accounts decreased by $1.9 billion or 15.2% during the fiscal year 2023, while time deposits increased $2.0 billion or 58.9%. As of September 30, 2023, 67.0% of the Company's deposits were in transaction accounts. Core deposits, defined as all transaction accounts and time deposits less than $250,000, totaled 88.1% of deposits at September 30, 2023. Deposits that are uninsured or not collateralized were 25.7% as of September 30, 2023, a decrease from 30.3% as of September 30, 2022. The focus historically has been on growing transaction accounts to lessen sensitivity to rising interest rates and manage interest expense. However, the current rate environment has resulted in increased demand for higher yielding deposits. The loan-to-deposit ratio was 108.8% at September 30, 2023 compared to 100.5% at September 30, 2022.

Borrowings totaled $3.7 billion as of September 30, 2023, an increase of $1.5 billion or 71.8% since September 30, 2022. The weighted average effective interest rate as of September 30, 2023, was 3.98% versus 2.02% at September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2023, $2.8 billion of the $3.7 billion in outstanding borrowings have effective maturities less than one year.

Loan originations totaled $4.7 billion for fiscal year 2023 compared to $8.7 billion in fiscal year 2022. Offsetting the loan origination volume in each of these years were loan repayments of $4.4 billion and $6.2 billion, respectively. In addition to the slowing repayments, which are directly correlated with the rapid rise in interest rates, the Bank has intentionally slowed new loan production to temper loan growth. Even so, net loans outstanding grew for the quarter due to the funding of construction loans previously originated. Commercial loans represented 74% of all loan originations during fiscal 2023 with consumer loans accounting for the remaining 26%. Commercial loans are preferable as they generally have floating interest rates and shorter durations. The weighted average interest rate on the loan portfolio was 5.22% as of September 30, 2023, an increase from 4.25% at September 30, 2022, due primarily to higher rates on adjustable rate loans as well as higher rates on newly originated loans.

Credit quality continues to be monitored closely in light of the shifting economic and monetary environment. As of September 30, 2023, non-performing assets increased to $58 million, or 0.3% of total assets, compared to 0.2% as of September 30, 2022. Since September 30, 2022, real estate owned decreased by $2.5 million and non-accrual loans increased by $15.9 million. Delinquent loans were 0.4% of total loans at September 30, 2023 compared to 0.2% at September 30, 2022. The allowance for credit losses (including the reserve for unfunded commitments) totaled $202 million as of September 30, 2023, and was 1.03% of gross loans as compared to $205 million or 1.06% of gross loans as of September 30, 2022. Net charge-offs were $45.1 million for fiscal year 2023 compared to net recoveries of $3.5 million in fiscal 2022.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $41.5 million in fiscal 2023, compared to provision of $3.0 million in fiscal 2022. In fiscal 2023, the provision primarily supported net growth in the loan portfolio, as well as one charge-off, offset by reduced unfunded commitment balances combined with the uncertain economic outlook amid concerns around a possible recession and recent macro-economic events.

The Company paid a quarterly dividend on the 4.875% Series A preferred stock on July 17, 2023. On September 8, 2023, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.25 per share to common stockholders of record on August 25, 2023, which was the Company’s 162nd consecutive quarterly cash dividend. Tangible common shareholders’ equity per share increased by $2.56 or 10.04% during fiscal 2023 to $28.05. The ratio of tangible shareholders' equity to tangible assets increased to 9.55% as of September 30, 2023.

Net interest income was $690.2 million for fiscal 2023, an increase of $96 million or 16.1% from the prior year. The increase in net interest income from the prior year was primarily due to the $2.0 billion increase in average loans outstanding during the year despite a decrease in the interest rate spread of 9 basis points. The decrease in the spread was the result of an increase of 168 basis points in the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities outpacing the 159 basis point increase in the average rate earned on interest-earning assets.

Total other income was $52.2 million for fiscal year 2023, a decrease from $66.4 million in the prior year. The decrease in other income is primarily due to $4.7 million in unrealized losses recorded for certain equity investments in fiscal 2023 versus $9.3 million in unrealized gains recorded in fiscal 2022.

Total other expense was $376.0 million for fiscal 2023, an increase of $17.5 million or 4.9% from the prior year. FDIC premiums increased $10.5 million compared to the same period last year. Compensation and benefits costs increased $2.6 million or 1.35% year-over-year primarily due to annual merit increases and investments in strategic initiatives combined with a reduction in capitalization of compensation as loan originations have decreased. These initiatives also drove an increase of $2.2 million in information technology expenses. Merger related expenses of $3.0 million were also included in total other expense. The Company’s efficiency ratio was 50.65% for fiscal 2023 as compared to 54.25% for the prior year as income growth outpaced expense growth.

For the year ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded federal and state income tax expense of $67.7 million, which equates to a 20.81% effective tax rate. This compares to an effective tax rate of 21.23% for fiscal year 2022. The Company's effective tax rate for fiscal 2023 differs from the statutory federal tax rate mainly due to state taxes, tax-exempt income, tax-credit investments and miscellaneous non-deductible expenses.

As announced last November, the Company has entered into an agreement to purchase Luther Burbank Corporation, an $8 billion dollar financial institution headquartered in the State of California. In May, shareholders of each entity approved the transaction, and the merger application has been submitted to the regulatory authorities for approval. On October 13, 2023, the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions granted approval of the proposed merger, subject to approval by the FDIC and the Federal Reserve Bank. In order to move forward with the transaction, approval must be received from all three regulatory agencies, including both the FDIC and the Federal Reserve. While the market has been turbulent, management remains confident in both the strategic and economic merits of this merger.

WaFd Bank is headquartered in Seattle, Washington and has 198 branches in eight western states. To find out more, please visit our website www.wafdbank.com. The Company uses its website to distribute financial and other material information.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The adjusted ratio of shareholders' equity to total assets on September 30, 2023, discussed above, is calculated by deducting the $55 million in tax-effected unrealized losses on HTM investments from total GAAP equity of $2.4 billion, then dividing the adjusted equity by total assets of $22.5 billion to arrive at 10.55%. The unadjusted ratio as of September 30, 2023, was 10.80%.
