HomeStreet, Inc. (NASDAQ:HMST):

Fully diluted EPS $0.94

ROAE: 11.8%

ROATE: 12.6%

ROAA: 0.89%

HomeStreet, Inc. (NASDAQ:HMST) (including its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company" or "HomeStreet"), the parent company of HomeStreet Bank, today announced the financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. As we present non-GAAP measures in this release, the reader should refer to the non-GAAP reconciliations set forth below under the section "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

"In the second quarter we grew our loan portfolio by 15% with growth in all loan types," said Mark K. Mason, HomeStreet's Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer. As expected, the significant increase in market interest rates adversely impacted our single family mortgage loan production and sales revenue in the quarter. Despite the meaningful reduction in mortgage sales revenue, we increased our total revenues by 4% over the prior quarter as a result of overall loan portfolio growth and increased net interest income. These results are in line with our strategy of increasing our less volatile net interest income while leveraging our existing expense structure to provide improving bottom line results. Additionally, we improved our operating efficiency as noninterest expenses decreased by 7% when compared to the first quarter."

Operating Results

Second quarter 2022 compared to first quarter 2022

Net income: $17.7 million compared to $20.0 million
Earnings per fully diluted share: $0.94 compared to $1.01
Net interest margin: 3.27% in both periods
Return on Average Equity ("ROAE"): 11.8% compared to 11.6%
Return on Average Tangible Equity ("ROATE"): 12.6% compared to 12.2%
Return on average assets ("ROAA"): 0.89% compared to 1.10%
Efficiency ratio: 68.5% compared to 77.0%

Financial Position

Second quarter 2022 compared to first quarter 2022

Loan portfolio originations: $1.3 billion in the second quarter
Loans held for investment increased $896 million in the second quarter
Period ending cost of deposits: 0.24% compared to 0.16%
Tangible book value per share: $29.37 compared to $30.47

"Loan portfolio originations were at record levels in the second quarter, " added Mr. Mason. "In particular, our multifamily loan originations were higher than we anticipated as we took advantage of disruptions in the market place to originate loans to new customers ordinarily would have opted for agency loans. Both banks and insurance companies were meaningfully more competitive on multifamily loans due to their lower funding costs relative to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Average deposits for the second quarter were consistent with the prior quarter and the proportion of noninterest-bearing accounts to total deposits increased to 27% at June 30, 2022."

Other

Announced sale of five branches in eastern Washington
Declared and paid a cash dividend of $0.35 per share in the second quarter

Mr. Mason concluded, "Our sale of five retail deposit branches in eastern Washington, which has received all regulatory approvals and is scheduled to close at the end of July, allows HomeStreet to focus our retail banking branch strategy on the larger metropolitan markets in the western United States."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance.

In this press release, we use the following non-GAAP measures: (i) tangible common equity and tangible assets as we believe this information is consistent with the treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which excluded intangible assets from the calculation of capital ratios; and (ii) an efficiency ratio which is the ratio of noninterest expenses to the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, excluding certain items of income or expense and excluding taxes incurred and payable to the state of Washington as such taxes are not classified as income taxes and we believe including them in noninterest expenses impacts the comparability of our results to those companies whose operations are in states where assessed taxes on business are classified as income taxes.

These supplemental performance measures may vary from, and may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures provided by other companies in our industry. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. A non-GAAP financial measure may also be a financial metric that is not required by GAAP or other applicable requirements.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by providing additional information used by management that is not otherwise required by GAAP or other applicable requirements. Our management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our operating results and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate a comparison of our performance to prior periods. We believe these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Rather, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the information below, we have provided reconciliations of, where applicable, the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP measures used in this press release, or a reconciliation of the non-GAAP calculation of the financial measure.
