Forward Looking Statements

“Safe Harbor” statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to: the credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and trend of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in our allowance for loan losses and provision for loan losses that may be impacted by deterioration in the housing and commercial real estate markets; changes in general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas; changes in the levels of general interest rates, and the relative differences between short and long term interest rates, deposit interest rates, our net interest margin and funding sources; fluctuations in the demand for loans, the number of unsold homes and other properties and fluctuations in real estate values in our market areas; results of examinations of us by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”) and of our bank subsidiaries by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”), the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions, Division of Banks (the “Washington DFI”) or other regulatory authorities, including the possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, require us to increase our reserve for loan losses, write-down assets, change our regulatory capital position or affect our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, which could adversely affect our liquidity and earnings; legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business including changes in regulatory policies and principles, including the interpretation of regulatory capital or other rules including changes from the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and regulations that have been or will be promulgated thereunder; our ability to control operating costs and expenses; the use of estimates in determining fair value of certain of our assets, which estimates may prove to be incorrect and result in significant declines in valuation; difficulties in reducing risk associated with the loans on our balance sheet; staffing fluctuations in response to product demand or the implementation of corporate strategies that affect our workforce and potential associated charges; computer systems on which we depend could fail or experience a security breach; our ability to retain key members of our senior management team; costs and effects of litigation, including settlements and judgments; our ability to implement our expansion strategy; our ability to successfully integrate any assets, liabilities, customers, systems, and management personnel we have acquired including the Cowlitz Bank and Pierce Commercial Bank transactions or may in the future acquire into our operations and our ability to realize related revenue synergies and cost savings within expected time frames and any goodwill charges related thereto; risks relating to acquiring assets or entering markets in which we have not previously operated and may not be familiar; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; the availability of resources to address changes in laws, rules, or regulations or to respond to regulatory actions; adverse changes in the securities markets; inability of key third-party providers to perform their obligations to us; changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the financial institution regulatory agencies or the Financial Accounting Standards Board, including additional guidance and interpretation on accounting issues and details of the implementation of new accounting methods; other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services; and other risks detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Moreover, you should treat these statements as speaking only as of the date they are made and based only on information then actually known to the Company. The Company does not undertake and specifically disclaims any obligation to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements. These risks could cause our actual results for 2011 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements by, or on behalf of, us, and could negatively affect the Company’s operating and stock price performance.

As used throughout this report, the terms “we”, “our”, “us”, or the “Company” refer to Heritage Financial Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires.

HERITAGE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

(a) Description of Business

Heritage Financial Corporation (the “Company”) is a bank holding company incorporated in the State of Washington in August 1997. The Company is primarily engaged in the business of planning, directing and coordinating the business activities of its wholly owned subsidiaries: Heritage Bank and Central Valley Bank (the “Banks”). The Banks are Washington-chartered commercial banks and their deposits are insured by the FDIC under the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”). Heritage Bank conducts business from its main office in Olympia, Washington and its twenty-six branch offices located in western Washington and the greater Portland, Oregon area. Central Valley Bank conducts business from its main office in Toppenish, Washington and its five branch offices located in Yakima and Kittitas counties of Washington State.

The Company’s business consists primarily of lending and deposit relationships with small businesses and their owners in its market areas and attracting deposits from the general public. The Company also makes residential and commercial construction, income property, and consumer loans and originates for sale or investment purposes first mortgage loans on residential properties located in western and central Washington State and the greater Portland, Oregon area.

Effective July 30, 2010, Heritage Bank entered into a definitive agreement with the FDIC, pursuant to which Heritage Bank acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Cowlitz Bank, a Washington state-chartered commercial bank headquartered in Longview, Washington (the “Cowlitz Acquisition”). The Cowlitz Acquisition included nine branches of Cowlitz Bank, including its division Bay Bank, which became branches of Heritage Ban and it also included the Trust Services Division of Cowlitz Bank. Effective November 5, 2010, Heritage Bank entered into a definitive agreement with the FDIC, pursuant to which Heritage Bank acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Pierce Commercial Bank, a Washington state-chartered bank headquartered in Tacoma, Washington (the “Pierce Commercial Acquisition”). The Pierce Commercial Acquisition included one branch, which became a branch of Heritage Bank. The Cowlitz Acquisition and the Pierce Commercial Acquisition are collectively referred to as the “Cowlitz and Pierce Acquisitions.”

(b) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP, for interim financial information, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read with our December 31, 2010 audited consolidated financial statements and its accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2010 Form 10-K”). In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

(c) Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements are disclosed in our 2010 Annual Form 10-K. There have not been any material changes in our significant accounting policies compared to those contained in our Form 10-K disclosure for the year ended December 31, 2010.

(d) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) 2011-02, A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring, provides an update for factors to be considered when evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. ASU 2011-02 provides that a creditor must separately conclude that both of the following exist: (1) the restructuring constitutes a concession; and (2) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. In addition, the amendments to Topic 310 clarify that a creditor is precluded from using the effective interest rate test in the debtor’s guidance on restructuring of payables (paragraph 470-60-55-10) when evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments in this Update were effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011 (third quarter of 2011), and was applied retrospectively to the beginning of the year. The Company’s adoption of this guidance changed its disclosures but did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. See Note 2 for the related disclosures.

FASB ASU 2011-03, Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements, was issued April 2011 addressing the accounting for repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. The amendments remove from the assessment of effective control (1) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and (2) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion. The provisions of this Update are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011, and should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. Management does not expect the adoption of the Update to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements at the date of adoption.

FASB ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, was issued May 2011 as a result of the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board’s (IASB) goal to develop common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The provisions of this Update are effective during the interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and are to be applied prospectively. Management does not expect the adoption of the Update to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements at the date of adoption.

FASB ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, was issued June 2011 requiring that all nonowner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This Update also requires that reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income be presented on the face of the financial statements. The provisions of this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, and are to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. In October 2011, the FASB announced they are considering deferring certain provisions in ASU 2011-05 related to presentation of reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income. Management does not expect the adoption of the Update to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements at the date of adoption.

FASB ASU 2011-08, Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)—Testing Goodwill for Impairment, was issued September 2011 and allows an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of the reporting unit. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. Management does not expect the adoption of the Update to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements at the date of adoption.

NOTE 2. Loans Receivable

(a) Loan Origination/Risk Management

The Company originates loans in one of the four segments of the total loan portfolio: commercial business, real estate construction and land development, one-to-four family residential, and consumer. Within these segments are classes of loans to which management monitors and assesses credit risk in the loan portfolios. The Company has certain lending policies and procedures in place that are designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk. Management reviews and approves these policies and procedures on a regular basis. A reporting system supplements the review process by providing management with frequent reports related to loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies, and nonperforming and potential problem loans. The Company also conducts external loan reviews and validates the credit risk assessment on a periodic basis. Results of these reviews are presented to management. The loan review process complements and reinforces the risk identification and assessment decisions made by lenders and credit personnel, as well as the Company’s policies and procedures.

A discussion of the risk characteristics of each portfolio segments is as follows:

Commercial Business

There are three significant classes of loans in the commercial portfolio segment, including commercial and industrial loans, owner-occupied commercial real estate, and non-owner occupied commercial real estate. The owner and non-owner occupied commercial real estate are both considered commercial real estate loans. As each of the classes carries different risk characteristics, management will discuss them separately.

Commercial and industrial. Commercial and industrial loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial and industrial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may incorporate a personal guarantee; however,

Table of Contents

some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers.

Commercial real estate. The Company originates multifamily and commercial real estate loans within its primary market areas. These loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial and industrial loans, in addition to those of real estate loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate involves more risk than other classes in that the lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts, and payments on loans secured by real estate properties are dependent on successful operation and management of the properties. Repayment of these loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate market or the economy.

One-to-Four Family Residential

The majority of the Company’s one-to four-family residential loans are secured by single-family residences located in its primary market areas. The Company’s underwriting standards require that single-family portfolio loans generally are owner-occupied and do not exceed 80% of the lower of appraised value at origination or cost of the underlying collateral. Terms typically range from 15 to 30 years. The Company generally sells most single-family loans in the secondary market. Management determines to what extent the Company will retain or sell these loans and other fixed rate mortgages in order to control the Bank’s interest rate sensitivity position, growth and liquidity.

Real Estate Construction and Land Development

The Company originates construction loans for one-to-four family residential and for five or more residential properties and commercial properties. The one-to-four family residential construction loans generally include construction of custom homes whereby the home buyer is the borrower. The Company also provides financing to builders for the construction of pre-sold homes and, in selected cases, to builders for the construction of speculative residential property. Substantially all construction loans are short-term in nature and priced with a variable rate of interest. Construction lending can involve a higher level of risk than other types of lending because funds are advanced partially based upon the value of the project, which is uncertain prior to the project’s completion. Because of the uncertainties inherent in estimating construction costs as well as the market value of a completed project and the effects of governmental regulation of real property, the Company’s estimates with regards to the total funds required to complete a project and the related loan-to-value ratio may vary from actual results. As a result, construction loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment dependent, in part, on the success of the ultimate project and the ability of the borrower to sell or lease the property or refinance the indebtedness. If the Company’s estimate of the value of a project at completion proves to be overstated, it may have inadequate security for repayment of the loan and may incur a loss. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are closely monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risks than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property, general economic conditions and the availability of long-term financing.

Consumer

The Company originates consumer loans and lines of credit that are both secured and unsecured. The underwriting process is developed to ensure a qualifying primary and secondary source of repayment. Underwriting standards for home equity loans are heavily influenced by statutory requirements, which include, but are not limited to, a maximum loan-to-value percentage of 80%, collection remedies, the number of such loans a borrower can have at one time and documentation requirements. To monitor and manage consumer loan risk, policies and procedures are developed and modified, as needed. The majority of the consumer loans are relatively small amounts spread across many individual borrowers which minimizes the credit risk. Additionally, trend reports are reviewed by management on a regular basis.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, certain loans were reclassified to better represent the class of loan based on the Bank’s methodology. Therefore, the December 31, 2010 loan balances have been re-classified since being reported in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Loans acquired in a business acquisition are designated as “purchased” loans. Purchased loans subject to loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC are identified as “covered” loans. Loans purchased with evidence of credit deterioration since origination for which it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected are accounted for under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, formerly AICPA SOP 03-3 Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer. These loans are identified as “impaired” loans. Loans purchased that are not accounted for under FASB ASC 310-30 are accounted for under FASB ASC 310-20, Receivables—Nonrefundable fees and Other Costs, formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 91 Nonrefundable fees and Other Costs. These loans are identified as “other” loans. Funds advanced on the covered loans subsequent to acquisition, identified as “subsequent advances,” are included in the purchased covered loan balances as these subsequent advances are covered under the loss-sharing agreements. These subsequent advances are not accounted for under FASB ASC 310-30. The total balance of subsequent advances on the purchased impaired covered loans was $11.2 million and $6.0 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

The recorded investment of purchased covered loans receivable at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 consisted of the following portfolio segments and classes:

The recorded investment balance of other purchased non-covered loans was $35.5 million and $50.8 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

(b) Concentrations of Credit

Most of the Company’s lending activity occurs within the State of Washington, and to a lesser extent the State of Oregon. The primary market areas include Thurston, Pierce, King, Mason, Cowlitz and Clark counties in Washington and Multnomah County in Oregon, as well as other markets. The majority of the Company’s loan portfolio consists of commercial and industrial, non-owner occupied commercial real estate, and owner occupied commercial real estate. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were no concentrations of loans related to any single industry in excess of 10% of total loans.

(c) Credit Quality Indicators

As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to (i) the risk grade of the loans, (ii) the level of classified loans, (iii) net charge-offs, (iv) nonperforming loans, and (v) the general economic conditions of the United States of America, and specifically the states of Washington and Oregon. The Company utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 0 to 9, and a “W”. A description of the general characteristics of the nine risk grades is as follows:

 

   

Grades 0 to 5—These grades are considered “pass grade” with negligible to above average but acceptable risk. These borrowers generally have strong to acceptable capital levels and consistent earnings and debt service capacity. Loans with the higher grades within the “pass” category may include borrowers who are experiencing unusual operating difficulties, but have acceptable payment performance to date. Increased monitoring of financials and/or collateral may be appropriate. Overall, loans with this grade show no immediate loss exposure.

 

   

Grade “W”—This grade includes loans on management’s “watch list” and is intended to be utilized on a temporary basis for pass grade borrowers where a significant risk-modifying action is anticipated in the near term.

 

   

Grade 6—This grade is for “Other Assets Especially Mentioned” (OAEM) in accordance with regulatory guidelines, and is intended to highlight loans with elevated risks. Loans with this grade show signs of deteriorating profits and capital, and the borrower might not be strong enough to sustain a major setback. The borrower is typically higher than normally leveraged, and outside support might be modest and likely illiquid. The loan is at risk of further decline unless active measures are taken to correct the situation.

 

   

Grade 7—This grade includes “Substandard” loans, in accordance with regulatory guidelines, for which the loan has a high risk. The loan also has defined weaknesses which make payment default or principal exposure likely, but not yet certain. The borrower may have shown serious negative trends in financial ratios and performance. Such loans are apt to be dependent upon collateral liquidation, a secondary source of repayment or an event outside of the normal course of business. Loans with this grade can be accrual or nonaccrual status based on the Company’s accrual policy.

 

13


Table of Contents
   

Grade 8—This grade includes “Doubtful” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines, and the Company has determined these loans to have excessive risk. Such loans are placed on nonaccrual status and may be dependent upon collateral having a value that is difficult to determine or upon some near-term event which lacks certainty. Additionally, these loans generally have a specific valuation allowance.

 

   

Grade 9—This grade includes “Loss” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines. These loans are determined to have the highest risk of loss. Such loans are charged-off or charged-down when payment is acknowledged to be uncertain or when the timing or value of payments cannot be determined. “Loss” is not intended to imply that the loan or some portion of it will never be paid, nor does it in any way imply that there has been a forgiveness of debt.

Loan grades for all commercial loans are established at the origination of the loan. Non-commercial loans are not graded as a 0 to 9 at origination date as these loans are determined to be “pass graded” loans. These non-commercial loans may subsequently require a 0-9 risk grade if the credit department has evaluated the credit and determined it necessary to classify the loan. Loan grades are reviewed on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if necessary, by the credit department. Typically, an individual loan grade will not be changed from the prior period unless there is a specific indication of credit deterioration or improvement. Credit deterioration is evidenced by delinquency, direct communications with the borrower, or other borrower information that becomes public. Credit improvements are evidenced by known facts regarding the borrower or the collateral property.

The loan grades relate to the likelihood of losses in that the higher the grade, the greater the loss potential. Loans with a pass grade are believed to have some inherent losses in the portfolios, but at a lesser extent than the other loan grades. These pass graded loans might have a zero percent loss based on historical experience and current market trends. The OAEM loan grade is transitory in that the Company is waiting on additional information to determine the likelihood and extent of the potential loss. However, the likelihood of loss is greater than Watch grade because there has been measurable credit deterioration. Loans with a substandard grade are generally loans for which the Company has individually analyzed for potential impairment. For Doubtful and Loss graded loans, the Company is almost certain of the losses, and the unpaid principal balances are generally charged-off.

The following tables present the balance of the originated loans receivable by credit quality indicator as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

The tables above include impaired loan balances. Potential problem loans are those loans that are currently accruing interest and are not considered impaired, but which management is monitoring because the financial information of the borrower causes concern as to their ability to meet their loan repayment terms. Potential problem originated loans as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $39.0 million and $56.1 million, respectively. The balance of potential problem originated loans guaranteed by a governmental agency was $4.3 million and $5.9 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. This guarantee reduces the Company’s credit exposure.

The following tables present the recorded balance of the other purchased covered and non-covered loans receivable by credit quality indicator as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

(f) Troubled Debt Restructured Loans

A troubled debt restructured loan (“TDR”) is a restructuring in which the Banks, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, grant a concession to a borrower that it would not otherwise consider. The majority of the Banks’ TDRs are the result of granting extensions to troubled credits which have already been adversely classified. We grant such extensions to reassess the borrower’s financial status and develop a plan for repayment. The remainders of Banks’ TDRs are the result of converting revolving lines of credits to amortizing loans, reducing interest rates for a period of time or for the remainder of the loan, or changing amortizing loans to interest-only loans with balloon payments. These modifications would all be considered a concession for a borrower that could not obtain financing outside of the Banks. We do not forgive principal for a majority of our TDRs, but in those situations where principal is forgiven, the entire amount of such principal forgiveness is immediately charged off to the extent not done so prior to the modification. We sometimes delay the timing on the repayment of a portion of principal (principal forbearance) and charge off the amount of forbearance if that amount is not considered fully collectible. We also consider insignificant delays in payments when determining if a loan should be classified as a TDR.

TDRs are considered impaired and are separately measured for impairment under ASC 310-10-35, whether on accrual or nonaccrual status. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the balance of accruing TDRs was $7.2 million and $394,000, respectively. The related allowance for loan losses on the accruing TDRs was $534,000 as of September 31, 2011 and no related allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2010. At September 30, 2011, non-accruing TDRs were $12.7 million and had a related allowance for loan losses of $1.1 million. At December 31, 2010, non-accruing TDRs of $8.7 million had a related allowance for loan losses of $1.6 million.

A loan may have the TDR classification removed if a) the restructured interest rate was greater than or equal to the interest rate of a new loan with comparable risk at the time of the restructure, and b) the loan is no longer impaired based on the terms of the restructured agreement. The Bank’s policy is that the borrower must demonstrate six consecutive monthly payments in accordance with the modified loan before it can be reviewed for removal of TDR classification under the second criteria. However, the loan must be reported as a TDR in at least one annual Form 10-K.

Troubled debt restructured loans at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are set forth in the following table.

The financial effects of each modification will vary based on the specific restructure. For the majority of the Banks’ TDRs, the loans were interest-only with a balloon payment at maturity. If the interest rate is not adjusted and the terms are consistent with market, the Banks might not experience any loss associated with the restructure. If, however, the restructure involves forbearance agreements or principal forgiveness, the Banks might not collect all the principal and interest based on the original contractual terms. The Banks estimate the necessary allowance for loan losses on TDRs using the same guidance as other impaired loans.

The default on the previously restructured loans in the table above occurred due to additional extensions granted on the credits after they had been classified as TDR. The Banks typically grant shorter extension periods to continually monitor the troubled credits despite the fact that the extended date might not be the date we expect the cash flow.

As a result of adopting the amendments in ASU No. 2011-02, the Banks have reassessed all restructurings that occurred on or after January 1, 2011 for identification as troubled debt restructurings. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the total recorded investment of identified TDRs as a result of the reassessment was $8.8 million. The Banks identified as troubled debt restructurings certain loans for which the allowance for loan losses had previously been measured under a general allowance for loan losses methodology. Upon identifying those loans as troubled debt restructures, the Banks identified them as impaired under the guidance of ASC 310-10-35. The amendments in ASU No. 2011-02 require prospective application of the impairment measurement guidance in ASC 310-10-35 for those loans newly identified as impaired. At September 30, 2011, the recorded investment in loans for which the allowance for loan losses was previously measured under a general allowance for loan losses methodology and are now impaired under Section 301-10-35 was $7.1 million, and the allowance for loan losses for those loans, on the basis of a current evaluation of loss, was $534,000. At September 30, 2011, the recorded investment in loans for which the allowance for loan losses was previously measured under the guidance of ASC 310-10-35 and are now identified as troubled debt restructures was $1.7 million, and the allowance for loan losses for those loans was $42,000.

The total balance of subsequent advances on the purchased impaired covered loans was $11.2 million and $6.0 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The Bank has the option to modify certain purchased covered loans which may terminate the FDIC loss-share coverage on those modified loans. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the recorded investment balance of purchased covered loans which are no longer covered under the FDIC loss-sharing agreements was $3.2 million and $841,000, respectively. The Bank continues to report these loans in the covered portfolio as they are in a pool and they continue to be accounted for under ASC 310-30. The FDIC indemnification asset has been properly adjusted to reflect the change in the loan status.

On the acquisition date, the amount by which the undiscounted expected cash flows of the purchased impaired loans exceed the estimate fair value of the loan is the “accretable yield”. The accretable yield is then measured at each financial reporting date and represents the difference between the remaining undiscounted expected cash flows and the current carrying value of the purchased impaired loan.

The following table summarizes the accretable yield on the Cowlitz Bank and Pierce Commercial Bank impaired purchased loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011:

The purchased loans acquired in the Cowlitz and Pierce Acquisitions are subject to the Company’s internal and external credit review. If and when credit deterioration occurs subsequent to the acquisition dates, a provision for loan losses will be charged to earnings for the full amount without regard to the FDIC loss-sharing agreement for the covered loan balances. The portion of the estimated loss reimbursable from the FDIC is recorded in noninterest income and increases the FDIC indemnification asset.

Potential dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of earnings per share if their effect is anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 anti-dilutive shares outstanding related to options and warrants to acquire common stock totaled 415,257 and 486,439, respectively, as the exercise price was in excess of the market value. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 anti-dilutive shares outstanding related to options and warrants to acquire common stock totaled 589,166 and 559,689, respectively, as the exercise price was in excess of the market value.

(b) Dividends

Common Stock. The timing and amount of cash dividends paid on our common stock depends on the Company’s earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other relevant factors. Dividends on common stock from the Company depend substantially upon receipt of dividends from the Banks, which are the Company’s predominant sources of income. On October 27, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.05 per share payable on November 23, 2011, to shareholders of record on November 10, 2011.

The FDIC and the DFI have the authority under their supervisory powers to prohibit the payment of dividends by Heritage Bank and Central Valley Bank to the Company. Additionally, current guidance from the Federal Reserve provides, among other things, that dividends per share on the Company’s common stock generally should not exceed earnings per share, measured over the previous four fiscal quarters. Current regulations allow the Company and its subsidiary banks to pay dividends on their common stock if the Company’s or Banks’ regulatory capital would not be reduced below the statutory capital requirements set by the Federal Reserve and the FDIC.

(c) Preferred Stock and Warrants

On November 21, 2008, the Company completed a sale to the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) of 24,000 shares of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, (“preferred shares”), for an aggregate purchase price of $24.0 million in cash, with a related warrant to purchase 276,074 shares of the Company’s common stock. On December 22, 2010, the Company redeemed the 24,000 preferred shares. The Company paid the Treasury a total of $24.1 million, consisting of $24.0 million of principal and $123,000 of accrued and unpaid dividends.

 

29


Table of Contents

Under the terms of the warrants, because the Company’s September 2009 offering of common stock, described below, was a “qualified equity offering” resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of at least $24.0 million, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the warrant was reduced by 50% to 138,037 shares. On August 17, 2011, the Company repurchased the warrant from the Treasury for $450,000. The warrant repurchase, together with the Company’s earlier redemption of the entire amount of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, issued to the Treasury, represents full repayment of all TARP obligations and cancellation of all equity interests in the Company held by the Treasury.

NOTE 6. Share Based Payment

Total stock-based compensation expense (excluding ESOP expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

 

     Nine Months Ended

Compensation expense recognized

   $ 712       $ 440   

Related tax benefit recognized

     210         110   

As of September 30, 2011, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock awards was $1.4 million and the related weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately 2.6 years.

The fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the assumptions noted in the following table (there were no options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2011). The expected term of share options was derived from historical data and represents the period of time that share options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of Company shares. Expected dividend yield is based on dividends expected to be paid during the expected term of the share options.

The Company has evaluated these securities and has determined that the decline in their value is temporary. The unrealized losses are primarily due to unusually large pricing spreads in the market for mortgage-related securities. The fair value of the mortgage backed securities and the collateralized mortgage obligations is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date and/or as the pricing spreads narrow on mortgage-related securities. Because the Company does not intend to sell these securities nor does the Company consider it more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities before the recovery of amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2011.

The amortized cost and fair value of securities at September 30, 2011, by contractual maturity, are set forth below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

For the private residential collateralized mortgage obligations we estimated expected future cash flows of the securities by estimating the expected future cash flows of the underlying collateral and applying those collateral cash flows, together with any credit enhancements such as subordination interests owned by third parties, to the security. The expected future cash flows of the underlying collateral are determined using the remaining contractual cash flows adjusted for future expected credit losses (which considers current delinquencies and nonperforming assets, future expected default rates and collateral value by vintage and geographic region) and prepayments. The expected cash flows of the security are then discounted at the interest rate used to recognize interest income on the security to arrive at a present value amount. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, six private residential collateralized mortgage obligations were determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired resulting in the Company recording $20,000 in impairments on private collateralized mortgage obligations not related to credit losses through other comprehensive income rather than through earnings and $73,000 in impairments related to credit losses through earnings. The average prepayment rate and discount interest rate used in the valuations of the present value were 6.0% and 7.93%, respectively.

NOTE 9. Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

The Banks are required to maintain an investment in the stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Seattle in an amount equal to the greater of $500,000 or 0.50% of residential mortgage loans and pass-through securities or an advance requirement to be confirmed on the date of the advance and 5.0% of the outstanding balance of mortgage loans sold to the FHLB of Seattle. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company was required to maintain an investment in the stock of FHLB of Seattle of at least $1.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had an investment in FHLB stock carried at a cost basis (par value) of $5.6 million.

The Company evaluated its investment in FHLB of Seattle stock for other-than-temporary impairment, consistent with its accounting policy. Based on the Company’s evaluation of the underlying investment, including the long-term nature of the investment, the liquidity position of the FHLB of Seattle, the actions being taken by the FHLB of Seattle to address its regulatory situation and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to recover the par value, the Company did not recognize an other-than-temporary impairment loss on its FHLB of Seattle stock. Even though the Company did not recognize an other-than-temporary impairment loss on its FHLB of Seattle stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, further deterioration in the FHLB of Seattle’s financial position may result in future impairment losses.

NOTE 10. Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired in the purchases of North Pacific Bank and Western Washington Bancorp. The Company’s goodwill is assigned to Heritage Bank and is evaluated for impairment at the Heritage Bank level (reporting unit). Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed for impairment annually and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that might indicate the Company’s recorded value is more than its implied value. Such indicators may include, among others: a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the general business climate; significant decline in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization; unanticipated competition; and an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. Any adverse changes in these factors could have a significant impact on the recoverability of goodwill and could have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

When required, the goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. The first test for goodwill impairment is done by comparing the reporting unit’s aggregate fair value to its carrying value. Absent other indicators of impairment, if the aggregate fair value exceeds the carrying value, goodwill is not considered impaired and no additional analysis is necessary. If the carrying value of the reporting unit were to exceed the aggregate fair value, a second test would be preformed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. To measure any impairment loss the implied fair value would be determined in the same manner as if the reporting unit were being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the recorded goodwill an impairment charge would be recorded for the difference.

The Company’s annual impairment test was performed during the quarter ended December 31, 2010, and will be conducted during the quarter ending December 31, 2011. For the quarter ended September 30, 2011, due to declines in the Company’s stock price, the Company determined a triggering event had occurred and conducted an interim impairment test of goodwill. Based on the results of the first test above, it was determined that no goodwill impairment charges were required for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

NOTE 11. Fair Value Measurements

Because broadly traded markets do not exist for most of the Company’s financial instruments, the fair value calculations attempt to incorporate the effect of current market conditions at a specific time. These determinations are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and do not include tax ramifications; therefore, the results cannot be determined with precision, substantiated by comparison to independent markets and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the instruments. There may be inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the results. For all of these reasons, the aggregation of the fair value calculations presented herein do not represent, and should not be construed to represent, the underlying value of the Company.

(a) Cash on Hand and in Banks, Interest Earning Deposits and Federal Funds Sold

The fair value of financial instruments that are short-term or reprice frequently and that have little or no risk are considered to have a fair value equal to carrying value.

(b) Investment Securities Available for Sale and Held to Maturity

The fair value of all investment securities are based upon the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the security. Such assumptions include observable and unobservable inputs such as quoted market prices, dealer quotes and discounted cash flows.

 

35


Table of Contents

(c) Federal Home Loan Bank stock

FHLB of Seattle stock is not publicly traded, however, the recorded value of the stock holdings approximates the fair value, as the FHLB is required to pay par value upon re-acquiring this stock.

(d) Loans Receivable and Loans Held for Sale

Fair value is estimated using the Company’s lending rates that would have been offered at September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, for loans, which mirror the attributes of the loans with similar rate structures and average maturities. Commercial loans and construction loans, which are variable rate and short-term are reflected with fair values equal to carrying value. Impaired loans are measured on a loan by loan basis by either the present value of expected future discounted cash flows, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the market value (less selling costs) of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

While these methodologies are permitted under GAAP for this disclosure, the amounts derived are not intended to reflect an exit price of the asset.

(e) Deposits

For deposits with no contractual maturity, the fair value is equal to the carrying value. The fair value of fixed maturity deposits is based on discounted cash flows using the difference between the deposit rate and the rates currently offered by the Company for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

(f) Securities Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase

Securities sold under agreement to repurchase are short-term in nature, repricing on a daily basis. Fair value financial instruments that are short-term or reprice frequently and that have little or no risk are considered to have a fair value equal to carrying value.

(g) Other Financial Instruments

The majority of our commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and commitments to sell mortgage loans carry current market interest rates if converted to loans, as such, carrying value is assumed to equal fair value.

The table below presents the carrying value amount of the Company’s financial instruments and their corresponding fair values. This method of estimating fair value does not incorporate the exit-price concept of fair value prescribed by ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and generally produces a higher fair value.

We measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

 

   

Level 1 – Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, or interest in open-end mutual funds that allow the Company to sell its ownership interest back to the fund at net asset value (“NAV”) on a daily basis. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets, liabilities, or funds.

 

36


Table of Contents
   

Level 2 – Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer, or broker markets, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or quoted prices in markets that are not active. Level 2 includes U.S. Treasury, U.S. government and agency debt securities, and mortgage-backed securities. Valuations are usually obtained from third party pricing services for comparable assets or liabilities.

 

   

Level 3 – Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, such as option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and year ended December 31, 2010 that were still held in the balance sheet at the end of such periods, the following tables provide the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related assets at the dates indicated.

(1) As of September 30, 2011, a specific reserve of $3.5 million was recorded on loans receivable identified as impaired. Impairment losses recorded were calculated based on the fair value of the collateral, less the costs to sell. Fair value of the loans’ collateral is determined by an appraisal or independent valuation, which is then adjusted for the cost related to liquidation of the collateral.

(1) At December 31, 2010, a specific reserve of $4.6 million was recorded on loans receivable identified as impaired. Impairment losses recorded were calculated based on the fair value of the collateral, less the costs to sell. Fair value of the loan’s collateral is determined by an appraisal or independent valuation, which is then adjusted for the cost related to liquidation of the collateral.
(2) Investment securities held to maturity with a carrying amount of $394,000 were written down to their fair value of $76,000 resulting in an impairment charge of $298,000 to noninterest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010. Impairment losses recorded were determined using cash flow models. We estimated expected future cash flows of the securities by estimating the expected future cash flows of the underlying collateral and applying those collateral cash flows, together with any credit enhancements such as subordination interests owned by third parties, to the security. The expected future cash flows of the underlying collateral are determined using the remaining contractual cash flows adjusted for future expected credit losses (which considers current delinquencies and nonperforming assets, future expected default rates and collateral value by vintage and geographic region) and prepayments. The expected cash flows of the security are then discounted at the interest rate used to recognize interest income on the security to arrive at a present value amount.
(3) Loans with a carrying amount of $4.4 million were written down to their fair value of $3.0 million when they were transferred to other real estate owned during the twelve months ended December 31, 2010. The resulting losses, to the extent they impacted the provision for loan losses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, are included in total losses for loans receivable for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 shown above.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of the Company as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. The information contained in this section should be read with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and its accompanying notes, and the December 31, 2010 audited consolidated financial statements and its accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Overview

Heritage Financial Corporation is a bank holding company, which primarily engages in the business activities of our wholly owned subsidiaries: Heritage Bank and Central Valley Bank (collectively, the “Banks”). We provide financial services to our local communities with an ongoing strategic focus in expanding our commercial lending relationships, market area and a continual focus on asset quality. At September 30, 2011, we had total assets of $1.37 billion and total stockholders’ equity of $206.1 million. The Company’s business activities generally are limited to passive investment activities and oversight of its investment in the Banks. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report relates primarily to the Banks’ operations.

Our business consists primarily of lending and deposit relationships with small businesses and their owners in our market areas and attracting deposits from the general public. We also make residential and commercial construction, multi-family and commercial real estate and consumer loans and originate for sale or investment purposes first mortgage loans on residential properties located in western and central Washington State and the greater Portland, Oregon area.

Our core profitability depends primarily on our net interest income after provision for loan losses. Net interest income is the difference between interest income, which is the income that we earn on interest-earning assets, comprised primarily of loans and investments, and interest expense, the amount we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, which are primarily deposits and borrowings. The results of our operations may also be affected by local and general economic conditions. Changes in levels of interest rates affect our net interest income. Management strives to match the repricing characteristics of the interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities to protect net interest income from changes in market interest rates and changes in the shape of the yield curve.

The provision for loan losses is dependent on changes in the loan portfolio and management’s assessment of the collectability of the loan portfolio as well as prevailing economic and market conditions. The allowance for loan losses reflects the amount that the Company believes is appropriate to cover potential credit losses in its loan portfolio. Additionally, net income is affected by non-interest income and non-interest expenses. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, non-interest income consisted of service charges on deposits, merchant Visa income, gains on the sale of loans, change in the FDIC indemnification asset and other operating income. Non-interest expenses consist primarily of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, data processing, and other expenses. Salaries and employee benefits consist primarily of the salaries and wages paid to our employees, payroll taxes, expenses for retirement and other employee benefits. Occupancy and equipment expenses, which are the fixed and variable costs of building and equipment, consist primarily of lease payments, taxes, depreciation charges, maintenance and costs of utilities.

Results of operations may also be affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive conditions, changes in market interest rates, governmental policies and actions of regulatory authorities.

Net interest income is affected by changes in the volume and mix of interest earning assets, interest earned on those assets, the volume and mix of interest bearing liabilities and interest paid on interest bearing liabilities. Other income and other expenses are impacted by growth of operations and growth in the number of loan and deposit accounts through both acquisitions and core banking business growth. Growth in operations affects other expenses primarily as a result of additional employees, branch facilities and marketing expense. Growth in the number of loan and deposit accounts affects other income, including service charges as well as other expenses such as data processing services, supplies, postage, telecommunications and other miscellaneous expenses.

Earnings Summary

Net income available to common shareholders was $0.12 per diluted common share for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $0.15 per diluted common share for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $1.8 million compared to net income of $2.0 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease was the result of a $1.0 million increase in the provision for loan losses, a $2.0 million decrease in non-interest income and a $2.1 million increase in non-interest expense partially offset by a $4.6 million increase in net interest income. Net income available to common shareholders was $0.28 per diluted common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $0.23 per diluted common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $4.3 million compared to net income of $3.6 million for the same period in 2010. The increase was the result of a $16.9 million increase in net interest income partially offset by a $2.0 million increase in the provision for loan losses, a $1.9 million decrease in non-interest income and a $12.5 million increase in non-interest expense. As a result of the increase in non-interest expense, the Company’s efficiency ratio increased to 68.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from 66.2% for the three months ended September

30, 2010 and increased to 69.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from 64.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The efficiency ratio consists of non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income before provision for loan losses plus non-interest income.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased $4.6 million, or 36.4%, to $17.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with $12.7 million in the same period in 2010. Net interest income increased $16.9 million, or 49.7%, to $51.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with $34.1 million in the same period in 2010. The increase in net interest income for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 were as a result of an increase in interest earning assets from the Cowlitz and Pierce Acquisitions and an increase in the net interest margin. Net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets (net interest margin) for the three months ended September 30, 2011, increased 105 basis points to 5.47% from 4.42% for the same period in 2010. Net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets (net interest margin) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, increased 96 basis points to 5.49% from 4.53% for the same period in 2010. The increase in net interest margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, was primarily due to increased loan yields as a result of discount accretion on the acquired loan portfolios in the Cowlitz and Pierce Acquisitions.

The following table provides relevant net interest income information for the dates indicated. The average loan balances presented in the table are net of allowances for loan losses. Nonaccrual loans have been included in the tables as loans carrying a zero yield. Yields on tax-exempt securities and loans have not been stated on a tax-equivalent basis.

Total interest income increased $4.0 million, or 26.6%, to $18.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, from $14.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Total interest income increased $15.8 million, or 38.9%, to $56.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $40.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increases in interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was due to a combination of higher balances of average interest earning assets and higher yields on interest earning assets. The balance of average interest earning assets (including nonaccrual loans) increased $116.4 million, or 10.2%, from $1.14 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $1.25 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The balance of average assets (including nonaccrual loans) increased $235.4 million, or 23.4%, from $1.01 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $1.24 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in average interest earning assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily due to the Cowlitz and Pierce Acquisitions. The yield on interest earning assets increased 78 basis points from 5.21% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to 5.99% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and increased 68 basis points from 5.38% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to 6.06% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in the yield on earning assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 reflects the increased loan yields due to discount accretion on the acquired loan portfolios. The effect of discount accretion on loan yields for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 was approximately 91 basis points and 12 basis points, respectively. The effect of discount accretion on loan yields for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 was approximately 88 basis points and five basis points, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, originated nonaccruing loans reduced the yield earned on loans by approximately 13 basis points and 19 basis points, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, originated nonaccruing loans reduced the yield earned on loans by approximately 15 basis points and 22 basis points, respectively. Originated nonaccrual loans totaled $25.8 million at September 30, 2011 as compared to $28.6 million at September 30, 2010.

Total interest expense decreased by $639,000, or 28.3%, to $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Total interest expense decreased by $1.2 million, or 18.3%, to $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decreases in interest expense was attributable to lower average rates paid on interest bearing liabilities partially offset by higher balances of interest bearing liabilities. The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased to 0.69% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from 0.99% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased to 0.75% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from 1.09% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Total average interest bearing liabilities increased by $32.8 million, or 3.6%, to $934.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $901.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Total average interest bearing liabilities increased by $149.9, or 19.1%, million to $933.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $783.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increases in average interest bearing liabilities were due primarily to the Cowlitz and Pierce Acquisitions. Deposit interest expense decreased $634,000, or 28.3%, to $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $2.2 million for the same quarter last year. Deposit interest expense decreased $1.2 million, or 18.5%, to $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $6.3 million for the same period last year. The decrease in deposit interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 is primarily a result of a 30 and 35 basis point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits, respectively, reflecting the relatively low interest rate environment.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses increased $1.0 million, or 46.5%, to $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The provision for loan losses increased $2.0 million, or 22.2%, to $11.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $9.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The provision for loan losses on originated loans decreased $1.8 million, or 82.0%, to $395,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

The provision for loan losses on originated loans decreased $4.1 million, or 45.2%, to $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $9.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The Banks had net charge-offs of $19,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The ratio of net charge-offs to average total originated loans outstanding was 0.00% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 0.43% for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The Banks had net charge-offs of $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $10.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The ratio of net charge-offs to average total originated loans outstanding was 0.59% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 1.32% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

The provision for loan losses on purchased loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $2.8 million and $6.1 million, respectively. As of the acquisition date, purchased loans were recorded at their estimated fair value, incorporating our estimate of future expected cash flows until the ultimate resolution of these credits. To the extent actual or projected cash flows are less than originally estimated, additional provisions for loan losses on the purchased loan portfolios will be recognized. However, provisions on the purchased covered loans would be primarily offset by a corresponding increase in the FDIC indemnification asset recognized within non-interest income. To the extent actual or projected cash flows are more than originally estimated, the increase in cash flows is recognized prospectively in interest income.

The Banks have established comprehensive methodologies for determining the allowance for loan losses. On a quarterly basis the Banks perform an analysis taking into consideration pertinent factors underlying the quality of the loan portfolio. These factors include changes in the amount and composition of the loan portfolio, historical loss experience for various loan classes, changes in economic conditions, delinquency rates, a detailed analysis of individual loans on nonaccrual status, and other factors to determine the level of the allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses on originated loans increased slightly by $325,000 to $22.4 million at September 30, 2011 from $22.1 million at December 31, 2010. As of September 30, 2011, the Banks identified $33.0 million of impaired loans, including $7.2 million of restructured loans. Of those impaired loans, $12.8 million have no allowances for credit losses as their estimated collateral value is equal to or exceeds their carrying costs. The remaining $20.2 million have related allowances for credit losses totaling $3.5 million.

Based on the comprehensive methodology, management deemed the allowance for loan losses on originated loans of $22.4 million at September 30, 2011 (2.79% of total originated loans and 94.7% of nonperforming originated loans) appropriate to provide for probable losses based on an evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio at that date. While the Banks believe they have established their existing allowances for loan losses in accordance with GAAP, there can be no assurance that regulators, in reviewing the Banks’ loan portfolios, will not request the Banks to increase significantly their allowance for loan losses. In addition, because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan losses is appropriate or that increased provisions will not be necessary should the quality of the loans deteriorate. Any material increase in the allowance for loan losses would adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Non-interest Income

Total non-interest income decreased $2.0 million, or 70.0%, to $861,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $2.9 million for the same period in 2010. Total non-interest income decreased $1.9 million, or 26.5%, to $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $7.1 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was due substantially to the effects of a $1.7 million change in the FDIC indemnification asset, a gain on bank acquisition of $438,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and a decrease in merchant Visa income of $69,000, which were partially offset by a $120,000 increase in service charges on deposits primarily due to deposits acquired through the Cowlitz and Pierce Acquisitions. The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was due to substantially to the effects of a $2.6 million change in the FDIC indemnification asset, a gain on bank acquisition of $438,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and a decrease in merchant Visa income of $149,000, which was partially offset by a $118,000 increase in the gain on sales of loans, a $529,000 increase in service charges on deposits primarily due to deposits acquired through the Cowlitz and Pierce Acquisitions and an increase of $645,000 in other income.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased $2.1 million, or 20.6%, to $12.4 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to $10.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and increased $12.5 million, or 46.7%, to $39.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $26.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year was due to increased salaries and benefits expense in the amount of $1.3 million, increased occupancy and equipment expense of $499,000, increased marketing of $129,000, and increased other expenses of $344,000, partially offset by a $81,000 decrease in professional services. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year was due to increased salaries and benefits expense in the amount of $6.8 million, increased occupancy and equipment expense of $2.0 million, increased data processing of $626,000, increased marketing expense of $189,000, increased professional services of $342,000, increased state and local taxes of $347,000, increased FDIC insurance of $147,000, increased other real estate owned expense (including valuation adjustments) of $629,000, and increased other expenses of $1.7 million partially offset by a decrease on merchant Visa of $144,000. These increases were substantially due to the Cowlitz and Pierce Acquisitions.

The efficiency ratio for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was 68.3% compared to 66.2% for the same period in the prior year. The efficiency ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 69.8% compared to 64.9% for the same period in the prior year. While growth strategies are being executed the Company expects to incur higher expenses as evidenced by the current efficiency ratio. Expenses are expected to be more in line with revenue when these growth strategies being producing long term results. The increase was primarily related to the increase in non-interest expense resulting from the Cowlitz and Pierce Acquisitions. The efficiency ratio consists of non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income before provision for loan losses plus non-interest income.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

The provision for income taxes decreased by $323,000 to an expense of $701,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from an expense of $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30 2010. The provision for federal income taxes decreased by $135,000 to an expense of $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from an expense of $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The Company’s effective tax rate was 27.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 33.4% for the same period in 2010. The Company’s effective tax rate was 27.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 32.7% for the same period in 2010. The decrease in the Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is due substantially to an increase in balances of tax exempt securities.

Financial Condition Data

Total assets increased only slightly to $1.4 million, or 0.1%, to $1.37 billion as of September 30, 2011 from the December 31, 2010 balance of $1.37 billion due primarily to an increase in investment securities and primarily offset by a decrease in the FDIC indemnification asset. For the same period, net loans, which exclude loans held for sale but are net of the allowance for loan losses increased $4.6 million, or 0.5%, to $984.3 million as of September 30, 2011 from $979.7 million at December 31, 2010 due substantially to increases in originated loans partially offset by decreases in purchased loans. Deposits were virtually unchanged as of September 30, 2011 at December 31, 2010 balance at $1.14 billion primarily due to a decrease in certificates of deposit acquired from the Cowlitz and Pierce Acquisitions. Securities sold under agreement to repurchase decreased $257,000, or 1.4%, to $18.8 million as of September 30, 2011 from the December 31, 2010 balance of $19.0 million primarily due to decreases in customer balances.

Total stockholders’ equity increased by $3.8 million, or 1.9%, to $206.1 million as of September 30, 2011 from $202.3 million at December 31, 2010 as a result of net income of $4.3 million, a change in fair value of securities available for sale (net of tax) in the amount of $1.3 million, and stock compensation and earned ESOP in the amount of $650,000 partially offset by a common stock cash dividend of $1.3 million, common stock repurchased of $790,000 and the repurchase of warrants from the U.S. Treasury in the amount of $450,000. The Company’s capital position remains strong at 15.1% of total assets as of September 30, 2011, an increase from 14.8% at December 31, 2010.

(3) $592,000 of restructured loans were guaranteed by government agencies at September 30, 2011. There were no restructured loans guaranteed by government agencies at December 31, 2010.
(4) $4.3 million and $5.9 million of potential problem originated loans were guaranteed by government agencies at September 30, 2011 and December 31 2010, respectively.
(5) Excludes portions guaranteed by government agencies.

Nonperforming originated assets decreased to $27.8 million, or 2.20% of total originated assets, at September 30, 2011 from $29.5 million, or 2.38% of total originated assets, at December 31, 2010 due to a decrease in nonperforming originated loans and other real estate owned. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, there were $4.7 million in net charge-offs of which $1.7 million related to nonperforming commercial loans and $2.8 million related to nonperforming construction loans. In addition, nonperforming loan balances totaling $3.1 million were transferred to other real estate owned during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This decrease in total nonperforming originated loans was offset by the $4.8 million addition to nonperforming originated loans of a restructured commercial construction and land development loan. Restructured originated performing loans as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2011 were $7.2 million and $394,000, respectively. During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, approximately $7.1 million in performing originated loans were classified as troubled debt restructurings as a result of the Banks broadening definitions of concessions and borrowers having financial difficulty, which would warrant classification as troubled debt restructurings. Potential problem originated loans as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $39.0 million and $56.1 million, respectively. Potential problem loans are those loans that are currently accruing interest and are not considered impaired, but which we are monitoring because the financial information of the borrower causes us concerns as to their ability to comply with their loan repayment terms. Loans that are past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest are both well secured and in the process of collection.

Analysis of Allowance for Loan Losses

Management maintains an allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) to provide for estimated credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The adequacy of the ALLL is monitored through our ongoing quarterly loan quality assessments.

We assess the estimated credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio by considering a number of elements including:

 

   

Historical loss experience in a number of homogeneous classes of the loan portfolio;

 

   

The impact of environmental factors, including:

 

   

Levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans;

 

   

Levels and trends in charge-offs and recoveries;

 

   

Effects of changes in risk selection and underwriting standards, and other changes in lending policies, procedures and practices;

 

   

Experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff;

 

   

National and local economic trends and conditions;

 

   

External factors such as competition, legal, and regulatory requirements; and

 

   

Effects of changes in credit concentrations.

We calculate an appropriate ALLL for the non-classified and classified performing loans in our loan portfolio by applying historical loss factors for homogeneous classes of the portfolio, adjusted for changes to the above-noted environmental factors. We may record specific provisions for impaired loans, including loans on nonaccrual status and TDRs, after a careful analysis of each loan’s credit and collateral factors. Our analysis of an appropriate ALLL combines the provisions made for our non-classified loans, classified loans, and the specific provisions made for each impaired loan.

While we believe we use the best information available to determine the allowance for loan losses, results of operations could be significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in determining the allowance. A further decline in local and national economic conditions, or other factors, could result in a material increase in the allowance for loan losses and may adversely affect the Company’s financial conditions and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of the allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of the routine examination process, which may result in the establishment of additional reserves based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

Table of Contents

The allowance for loan losses for originated loans at September 30, 2011 increased $325,000 to $22.4 million from $22.1 million at December 31, 2010. The increase was due to the provision for loan losses exceeding the net charge-offs during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and increases in originated loans receivable and nonperforming originated loans, partially offset by a decrease in potential problem originated loans. Nonperforming originated loans to total originated loans increased to 2.94% at September 30, 2011 from 3.14% at December 31, 2010 and the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming originated loans was 94.7% at both September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Potential problem originated loans decreased $17.1 million to $39.0 million at September 30, 2011 from $56.1 million at December 31, 2010. Based on management’s assessment of loan quality and current economic conditions, the Company believes that its allowance for loan losses was appropriate to absorb the probable and inherent risks of loss in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of funds are customer deposits, loan principal and interest payments, loan sales, interest earned on and proceeds from sales and maturities of investment securities, and advances from the FHLB of Seattle. These funds, together with retained earnings, equity and other borrowed funds, are used to make loans, acquire investment securities and other assets, and fund continuing operations. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and prepayments are greatly influenced by the level of interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. In addition to customer deposits, management may utilize the use of brokered deposits on an as-needed basis.

As indicated in the table below, total deposits increased slightly and were $1.1 billion at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Since December 31, 2010, non-maturity deposits (total deposits less certificate of deposit accounts) have increased $55.4 million to $788.8 million and certificate of deposit accounts have decreased $54.3 million to $348.7 million. As a result, the percentage of certificate of deposit accounts to total deposits decreased to 30.7% at September 30, 2011 from 35.5% at December 31, 2010. The decrease in certificate of deposit accounts was due primarily to a decrease in certificates of deposit accounts related to the Cowlitz and Pierce Acquisitions.

Borrowings may also be used on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in other sources of funds (such as deposit inflows at less than projected levels). Borrowings may also be used on a longer-term basis to support expanded lending activities and match the maturity of repricing intervals of assets. In addition, the Banks are utilizing repurchase agreements as a supplement to our funding sources. Our repurchase agreements are secured by available for sale investment securities. At September 30 2011, the Banks had securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaling $18.8 million, a decrease of $257,000 from $19.0 million at December 31, 2010.

We must maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the availability of sufficient funds to fund loan originations and deposit withdrawals, satisfy other financial commitments, and fund operations. We generally maintain sufficient cash and short-term investments to meet short-term liquidity needs. At September 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents totaled $152.0 million, or 11.1% of total assets and the fair value of investment securities classified as either available for sale or held to maturity with maturities of one year or less amounted to $23.9 million, or 1.8% of total assets. At September 30, 2011, the Banks maintained an uncommitted credit facility with the FHLB of Seattle for $183.3 million and an uncommitted credit facility with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco for $73.0 million. The Banks also maintain advance lines with Key Bank, US Bank and Pacific Coast Bankers Bank to purchase federal funds totaling $22.8 million as of September 30, 2011. There were no borrowings outstanding other than repurchase agreements as of September 30, 2011.

Capital Requirements

The Company is a bank holding company under the supervision of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. Bank holding companies are subject to capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board. Heritage Bank and Central Valley Bank are federally insured institutions and thereby subject to the capital requirements established by the FDIC. The Federal Reserve Board capital requirements generally parallel the FDIC requirements. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements and operations.

Pursuant to minimum capital requirements of the FDIC, Heritage Bank and Central Valley Bank are required to maintain a leverage ratio (capital to assets ratio) of 3% and risk-based capital ratios of Tier 1 capital and total capital (to total risk-weighted assets) of 4% and 8%, respectively. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Heritage Bank and Central Valley Bank were classified as “well capitalized” under applicable regulatory capital guidelines.

Quarterly, the Company reviews the potential payment of cash dividends to its common shareholders. The timing and amount of cash dividends paid on our common stock depends on the Company’s earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other relevant factors. Dividends on common stock from the Company depend substantially upon receipt of dividends from the Banks, which are the Company’s predominant sources of income. On October 27, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.05 per share payable on November 23, 2011, to shareholders of record on November 10, 2011.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our results of operations are highly dependent upon our ability to manage interest rate risk. We consider interest rate risk to be a significant market risk that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Interest rate risk is measured and assessed on a quarterly basis. In our opinion, there has not been a material change in our interest rate risk exposure since the information disclosed in our annual report for the year-ended at December 31, 2010.

We do not maintain a trading account for any class of financial instrument nor do we engage in hedging activities or purchase high-risk derivative instruments. Moreover, we have no material risk with foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk.

 

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedure (as defined in Section 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the Company’s Disclosure Committee as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Based on their evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2011 are effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2011, that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company does not expect that its internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to its business. Management believes that the outcome of such currently pending proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in Part I. Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The Company has had various stock repurchase programs since March 1999. In August 2011, the Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase plan, allowing the Company to repurchase up to 5% of the then outstanding shares, or approximately 782,000 shares over a period of twelve months. This marked the Company’s ninth stock repurchase plan. During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, the Company repurchased 69,300 shares at an average price of $11.40 under this plan. In total, the Company has repurchased 69,300 shares at an average price of $11.40 under this plan.
