WALLA WALLA, Wash., Jan. 23, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Banner Corporation (NASDAQ GSM: BANR) (“Banner”), the parent company of Banner Bank and Islanders Bank, today reported strong organic loan growth exclusive of the Skagit Bancorp, Inc. (“Skagit”) acquisition on November 1, 2018, combined with a stable net interest margin, contributed to solid fourth quarter financial results. Net income in the fourth quarter of 2018 was $37.5 million, or $1.09 per diluted share, compared to $37.8 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, in the preceding quarter. Fourth quarter results include $4.6 million of acquisition-related expense, compared to $1.0 million of acquisition-related expense in the preceding quarter. In the fourth quarter of 2017, following a revaluation of deferred tax assets due to tax reforms enacted in 2017, Banner recorded additional tax expense of $42.6 million, or $1.30 per diluted share. Consequently, the fourth quarter 2017 net loss was $13.5 million, or $0.41 per diluted share. There was no acquisition-related expense in the fourth quarter of 2017. For the year ended December 31, 2018, net income increased to $136.5 million, or $4.15 per diluted share, compared to $60.8 million, or $1.84 per diluted share, in 2017.
“Banner’s fourth quarter and full year 2018 performance reflects continued execution of our super community bank strategy, which is generating new client relationships, adding to our core funding position by growing core deposits, and promoting client loyalty through our responsive service model, while augmenting our growth with opportunistic acquisitions,” stated Mark J. Grescovich, President and Chief Executive Officer. “During the fourth quarter, we announced the completion of the merger with Skagit. This transaction expanded Banner’s presence and density in the attractive North Sound region in Northwest Washington State and represents a complementary fit, both strategically and culturally, with Banner’s business model. The combination of our two organizations provides the opportunity to enhance operational efficiency while offering Skagit Bank customers a broader product offering, increased lending limits and an expanded branch delivery system that stretches throughout the four states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and California.”
At December 31, 2018, Banner Corporation had $11.86 billion in assets, $8.59 billion in net loans and $9.48 billion in deposits. Banner operates 182 branch offices located in eight of the top 20 largest western Metropolitan Statistical Areas by population.

*Tangible common shareholders’ equity per share and the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets (both of which exclude goodwill and other intangible assets, net), and references to revenues from core operations (which excludes fair value adjustments, net loss on the sale of securities and in the fourth quarter of 2017 gain on the sale of branches) and the adjusted efficiency ratio (which excludes fair value adjustments, net loss on the sale of securities and, in the fourth quarter of 2017, gain on the sale of branches from the total of net interest income before provision for loan losses and non-interest income and excludes acquisition-related costs, amortization of core deposit intangibles, real estate owned gain (loss) and state/municipal business and use taxes from adjusted non-interest expense) represent non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measures. Management has presented these non-GAAP financial measures in this earnings release because it believes that they provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in Banner’s core operations reflected in the current quarter’s results and facilitate the comparison of our performance with the performance of our peers. Where applicable, comparable earnings information using GAAP financial measures is also presented. See also Non-GAAP Financial Measures reconciliation tables on the last two pages of this press release.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2017 Consolidated Financial Statements and/or schedules to conform to the 2018 presentation. These reclassifications have affected certain line items and ratios for the prior periods but have not changed net income or shareholders’ equity for those periods. The effect of these reclassifications is considered immaterial.
Recent Events
On November 1, 2018, Banner completed its acquisition of Skagit and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Skagit Bank, of Burlington, Washington. As of the closing of the transaction, Skagit Bank had 11 retail branches along the I-5 corridor from Seattle to the Canadian border. Pursuant to the previously announced terms of the acquisition, Skagit shareholders received 5.6664 shares of Banner common stock in exchange for each share of Skagit common stock, plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares and cash to buyout Skagit stock options for a total consideration paid of $171.8 million.
The Skagit merger was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the assets (including identifiable intangible assets) and the liabilities of Skagit were measured at their respective estimated fair values as of the merger date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was attributed to goodwill. The fair value on the merger date represents management’s best estimates based on available information and facts and circumstances in existence on the merger date. The acquisition accounting is subject to adjustment within a measurement period of one year from the acquisition date. The acquisition provided $915.8 million of assets, $632.4 million of loans, and $810.2 million of deposits to Banner.
Income Statement Review
“Our net interest margin remained strong despite an increase in deposit costs,” said Grescovich. Banner’s net interest margin was 4.47% for the fourth quarter of 2018, a one basis-point decrease compared to 4.48% in the preceding quarter and a 29 basis-point improvement compared to 4.18% in the fourth quarter a year ago. Acquisition accounting adjustments added 12 basis points to the net interest margin in both the current quarter and preceding quarters compared to six basis points in the fourth quarter a year ago. The total purchase discount for acquired loans was $25.7 million at December 31, 2018, an increase from $15.4 million at September 30, 2018 and $21.1 million at December 31, 2017. For the year ended December 31, 2018, Banner’s net interest margin expanded 19 basis points to 4.43% compared to 4.24% in 2017. Acquisition accounting adjustments added ten basis points to the net interest margin for both years.
Average interest-earning asset yields increased seven basis points to 4.90% compared to 4.83% for the preceding quarter and increased 50 basis points compared to 4.40% in the fourth quarter a year ago. Average loan yields increased six basis points to 5.37% compared to 5.31% in the preceding quarter and increased 55 basis points compared to 4.82% in the fourth quarter a year ago. Loan discount accretion added 16 basis points to loan yields in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to 15 basis points in the preceding quarter and five basis points in the fourth quarter a year ago. Deposit costs were 0.32% in the fourth quarter of 2018, a seven basis-point increase compared to the preceding quarter and a 17 basis-point increase compared to the fourth quarter a year ago. The total cost of funds was 0.46% during the fourth quarter of 2018, a nine basis-point increase compared to the preceding quarter and a 23 basis-point increase compared to the fourth quarter a year ago, largely reflecting increased use of brokered deposits and the impact of the rising interest rate environment.
Primarily as a result of the origination of new loans, the renewal of acquired loans out of the discounted acquired loan portfolio and net charge-offs, Banner recorded a $2.5 million provision for loan losses in the current quarter, compared to $2.0 million recorded in both the prior quarter and in the same quarter a year ago.
Deposit fees and other service charges were $12.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to $12.3 million in the preceding quarter and $10.8 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. Mortgage banking revenues, including gains on one- to four-family and multifamily loan sales and loan servicing fees, increased to $6.0 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $5.8 million in the preceding quarter and $5.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. Home purchase activity accounted for 78% of one- to four-family mortgage loan originations in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to 78% in the prior quarter and 71% in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Banner’s fourth quarter 2018 results included a $198,000 net gain for fair value adjustments as a result of changes in the valuation of financial instruments carried at fair value, principally comprised of certain investment securities held for trading and an $885,000 net loss on the sale of securities. In the preceding quarter, results included a $45,000 net gain for fair value adjustments. In the fourth quarter a year ago, results included a $1.0 million net loss for fair value adjustments and a $2.3 million net loss on the sale of securities. Following the adoption of new accounting guidance, beginning in the first quarter of 2018, Banner no longer reflects changes in the fair value of its junior subordinated debentures related to instrument-specific credit risk in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, but rather reports those changes in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and includes them in total shareholders’ equity in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
Total revenues increased 7% to $138.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to $129.5 million in the preceding quarter and increased 10% compared to $125.9 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. For the year, total revenues increased 8% to $515.0 million, compared to $478.2 million in 2017. Revenues from core operations* (revenues excluding gains and losses on the sale of securities, the net change in valuation of financial instruments and, in the fourth quarter of 2017, the gain on sale of the Utah branches) increased to $139.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to $129.4 million in the preceding quarter and $117.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. For 2018, revenues from core operations* increased 9% to $512.0 million from $471.0 million in 2017.
Total non-interest income was $21.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to $20.4 million in the third quarter of 2018 and $27.7 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. For 2018, total non-interest income was $84.0 million, compared to $85.2 million in 2017.
Banner’s total non-interest expense was $95.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to $81.6 million in the preceding quarter and $82.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. Acquisition-related expenses were $4.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to $1.0 million for the preceding quarter and no acquisition expenses for the year ago quarter. The increase in non-interest expense during the quarter also reflects the expenses associated with operating the branches acquired in the Skagit acquisition. Other non-interest expense items of significance for the fourth quarter of 2018 included a $4.0 million accrual for pending litigation. Banner’s efficiency ratio was 68.89% for the current quarter, compared to 63.04% in the preceding quarter and 65.51% in the year ago quarter. Banner’s adjusted efficiency ratio*, which is calculated by dividing core non-interest expense by core revenue, was 63.06% for the current quarter, compared to 60.21% in the preceding quarter and 69.40% in the year ago quarter.
For the fourth quarter of 2018, Banner recorded $3.1 million in state and federal income tax expense for an effective tax rate of 7.5%, reflecting the new lower federal corporate income tax rate beginning in 2018, as well as the benefits from tax exempt income sources. In addition, Banner recorded $5.5 million of tax benefit adjustments, which included the release of a $4.2 million valuation reserve previously recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017 as a provisional amount related to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Our normal, expected statutory income tax rate is 23.7%, representing a blend of the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0% and apportioned effects of the state income tax rates. For the year ago quarter, Banner recorded $55.0 million in state and federal income tax expense primarily due to a $42.6 million charge for the revaluation of its deferred tax assets as a result of the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
Balance Sheet Review
Largely as a result of the Skagit acquisition, but also as a result of organic growth, Banner’s total assets increased to $11.86 billion at December 31, 2018, compared to $10.51 billion at September 30, 2018 and $9.76 billion at December 31, 2017. The total of securities and interest-bearing deposits held at other banks was $1.94 billion at December 31, 2018, compared to $1.76 billion at September 30, 2018 and $1.26 billion at December 31, 2017. The increase in the securities portfolio during both the current quarter and preceding quarter compared to December 31, 2017 reflects Banner’s renewed leveraging strategy as it crossed the $10 billion in total assets threshold. During the fourth quarter of 2017, Banner reduced its holdings of securities and use of wholesale funding to ensure that it remained below $10 billion in total assets at December 31, 2017 in order to postpone the adverse impact of the Durbin Amendment. The average effective duration of Banner’s securities portfolio was approximately 3.5 years at December 31, 2018, compared to 4.1 years at December 31, 2017.
Net loans receivable increased 11% to $8.59 billion at December 31, 2018, compared to $7.73 billion at September 30, 2018 and increased 14% when compared to $7.51 billion at December 31, 2017. The $860.9 million increase in net loans during the current quarter included $631.7 million of portfolio loans acquired in the Skagit acquisition as well as $230.4 million of organic loan growth. Organic loan growth was 12% on an annualized basis during the quarter. Commercial real estate and multifamily real estate loans increased 11% to $3.93 billion at December 31, 2018, compared to $3.52 billion at September 30, 2018, and $3.54 billion a year ago. Commercial business loans increased 9% to $1.48 billion at December 31, 2018, compared to $1.36 billion three months earlier and increased 16% compared to $1.28 billion a year ago. Reflecting normal seasonal trends, agricultural business loans increased by 12% to $404.9 million at December 31, 2018, compared to $360.0 million three months earlier and increased by 20% compared to $338.4 million a year ago. Total construction, land and land development loans increased 9% to $1.11 billion at December 31, 2018, compared to $1.02 billion at September 30, 2018 and increased 22% compared to $907.5 million a year earlier. Consumer loans increased 10% to $785.0 million at December 31, 2018, compared to $710.5 million at September 30, 2018 and increased 14% compared to $688.8 million a year ago. One- to four-family loans increased 15% to $973.6 million, compared to both $849.9 million at September 30, 2018 and $848.3 million a year ago.
Loans held for sale increased substantially to $171.0 million at December 31, 2018, compared to $72.9 million at September 30, 2018 and $40.7 million at December 31, 2017. The volume of one- to four- family residential mortgage loans sold was $130.1 million in the current quarter, compared to $134.1 million in the preceding quarter and was $141.1 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. During the fourth quarter of 2018, Banner sold $26.8 million in multifamily loans, compared to $94.0 million in the preceding quarter. Loans held for sale at December 31, 2018 included $130.7 million of multifamily loans and $40.3 million of one- to four-family loans.
Total deposits increased 9% to $9.48 billion at December 31, 2018, compared to $8.69 billion at September 30, 2018 and increased 16% when compared to $8.18 billion a year ago, as core deposit growth over the last year, coupled with the addition of both deposits from the Skagit acquisition and brokered certificates of deposit, was partially offset by continuing declines in retail, or non-brokered, certificates of deposit. Total deposits at December 31, 2018 were negatively impacted by the sale of $20.4 million of Poulsbo Branch deposits during the second quarter of 2018. Non-interest-bearing account balances increased 5% to $3.66 billion at December 31, 2018, compared to $3.47 billion at September 30, 2018 and increased 12% compared to $3.27 billion a year ago. Core deposits (non-interest-bearing and interest-bearing transaction and savings accounts) increased $651.6 million, or 9%, from the prior quarter and increased 13% compared to a year ago. The core deposit balance at December 31, 2018 was positively impacted by $696.3 million of core deposits acquired in the Skagit acquisition. Core deposits represented 86% of total deposits at December 31, 2018, the same as three months earlier, and were 88% of total deposits a year earlier. Certificates of deposit increased 12% to $1.32 billion at December 31, 2018, compared to $1.18 billion at September 30, 2018 and increased 37% compared to $966.9 million a year earlier. Brokered deposits increased to $377.3 million at December 31, 2018, compared to $325.2 million at September 30, 2018 and $40.7 million a year earlier.
At December 31, 2018, total common shareholders’ equity was $1.47 billion, or 12.39% of assets, compared to $1.27 billion or 12.10% of assets at September 30, 2018 and $1.27 billion or 13.03% of assets a year ago. At December 31, 2018, tangible common shareholders’ equity*, which excludes goodwill and other intangible assets, was $1.11 billion, or 9.62% of tangible assets*, compared to $1.01 billion, or 9.86% of tangible assets, at September 30, 2018 and $1.01 billion, or 10.61% of tangible assets, a year ago. Banner’s tangible book value per share* increased to $31.45 at December 31, 2018, compared to $30.78 per share a year ago.
During the first quarter of 2018, Banner repurchased 269,711 shares of its common stock and during the fourth quarter of 2018, Banner repurchased 325,000 shares of its common stock. There were no repurchases of common stock during the second or third quarters of 2018. Banner and its subsidiary banks continue to maintain capital levels in excess of the requirements to be categorized as “well-capitalized” under the Basel III and Dodd Frank regulatory standards. At December 31, 2018, Banner’s common equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 10.75%, its Tier 1 leverage capital to average assets ratio was 10.98%, and its total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 13.12%.
Credit Quality
The allowance for loan losses was $96.5 million at December 31, 2018, or 1.11% of total loans outstanding and 616% of non-performing loans compared to $95.3 million at September 30, 2018, or 1.22% of total loans outstanding and 603% of non-performing loans, and $89.0 million at December 31, 2017, or 1.17% of total loans outstanding and 329% of non-performing loans. Net loan charge-offs totaled $1.3 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $612,000 in the preceding quarter and $2.1 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. Primarily as a result of the origination of new loans, the renewal of acquired loans out of the discounted acquired loan portfolio and net charge-offs, Banner recorded a $2.5 million provision for loan losses in the current quarter, compared to $2.0 million recorded in both the prior quarter and in the year ago quarter. Non-performing loans decreased to $15.7 million at December 31, 2018, compared to $15.8 million at September 30, 2018 and $27.0 million a year ago. Real estate owned and other repossessed assets were $3.2 million at December 31, 2018, compared to $937,000 at September 30, 2018 and $467,000 a year ago. The increase in the current quarter primarily reflects $2.6 million of real estate owned acquired in the Skagit acquisition.
In accordance with acquisition accounting, loans acquired from acquisitions were recorded at their estimated fair value, which resulted in a net discount to the loans’ contractual amounts, a portion of which reflects a discount for possible credit losses. Credit discounts are included in the determination of fair value, and as a result, no allowance for loan and lease losses is recorded for acquired loans at the acquisition date. At December 31, 2018, the total purchase discount for acquired loans was $25.7 million.
Banner’s non-performing assets were $18.9 million, or 0.16% of total assets, at December 31, 2018, compared to $16.7 million, or 0.16% of total assets, at September 30, 2018 and $27.5 million, or 0.28% of total assets, a year ago. In addition to non-performing assets, purchased credit-impaired loans increased due to the Skagit acquisition to $14.4 million at December 31, 2018, compared to $12.9 million at September 30, 2018 and decreased when compared to $21.3 million at December 31, 2017.

| * Non-GAAP Financial Measures | |||||||||||||||||||
| In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. Management has presented these non-GAAP financial measures in this earnings release because it believes that they provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in Banner’s core operations reflected in the current quarter’s results and facilitate the comparison of our performance with the performance of our peers. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for any analysis based on GAAP. Where applicable, comparable earnings information using GAAP financial measures is also presented. Because not all companies use the same calculations, our presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as calculated by other companies. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures, see the tables below: | |||||||||||||||||||
