HomeStreet Reports Second Quarter 2023 Results

HomeStreet, Inc. (Nasdaq: HMST) (including its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company", "HomeStreet" or "we"), the parent company of HomeStreet Bank, today announced the financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. 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 recognized a net loss of $31.4 million. These results were significantly impacted by an after-tax goodwill impairment charge of $34.6 million. Excluding the goodwill impairment charge our core net income for the second quarter was $3.2 million,” said Mark K. Mason, HomeStreet’s Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer. “As required under generally accepted accounting principles and based primarily on the significant decline in our stock price during the second quarter, we determined that our goodwill was impaired. This impairment of goodwill represents a noncash charge and has no impact on our core net income, cash flows or liquidity, nor does it impact our tangible capital or regulatory capital as goodwill is excluded from regulatory capital and related ratios.”

“Our operating results for the quarter reflect the continuing adverse impact of the historically record velocity and magnitude of increases in short-term interest rates,” continued Mark K. Mason. “To mitigate these challenges, we have reduced our new loan originations and the size of our loan and securities portfolios, raised new deposits through promotional products and reduced the level of uninsured deposits to 7% of total deposits primarily through products which provide complete FDIC deposit insurance coverage. Additionally, we have focused our new loan origination activity primarily on floating rate products such as commercial loans, residential construction loans and home equity loans.”

“As expected, our net interest margin decreased in the second quarter due to decreases in balances of lower cost transaction and savings deposits and overall higher funding costs,” added Mr. Mason. “To mitigate the impact of a lower net interest margin we have continued to reduce non-essential expenses while being mindful to sustain and protect our high quality lending lines of business, preserving our ability to grow earnings once the interest rate environment stabilizes and loan pricing and volumes normalize.”

 

 

 

Financial Position

 

As of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2023

  • Uninsured deposits were $495 million, or 7% of total deposits, down from $1.0 billion and 14% of total deposits at March 31, 2023
  • Excluding brokered deposits, total deposits decreased $262 million to $5.9 billion
  • Loans held for investment ("LHFI") decreased by $50 million
  • Nonperforming assets to total assets: 0.44%
  • Allowance for credit losses to LHFI: 0.57%
  • Book value per share: $28.10
  • Tangible book value per share: $27.50

“The deposit outflows we experienced in the second quarter were primarily due to depositors seeking higher yields or due to seasonal tax payments,” Mr. Mason stated. “With noninterest-bearing and low-cost deposits seeking higher yields, we have implemented a strategy to attract new deposits and retain existing deposits through promotional certificates of deposit accounts and to retain core deposits through promotional money market accounts. This strategy affords us the opportunity to retain deposits without repricing all of our existing low-cost core deposits. While our promotional certificates of deposit accounts are priced competitively to attract new customers, our promotional money market accounts are used as a defensive measure and are not priced at the top of the market.”

"Asset quality remained strong in the second quarter notwithstanding a small increase in nonperforming assets. The increase in nonperforming assets was primarily due to the designation of one customer relationship as collateral dependent and non-performing during the second quarter. This relationship consists of $27 million of loans that are current in their payments and are overcollateralized. Additionally, loan delinquencies declined and our net charge-offs during the second quarter were only $0.1 million,” added Mr. Mason. “Today, we do not see any meaningful credit challenges on the horizon.”

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 exclude intangible assets from the calculation of capital ratios; (ii) core income and effective tax rate on core income before taxes, which excludes goodwill impairment charges and the related tax impact as we believe this measure is a better comparison to be used for projecting future results and (iii) an efficiency ratio which is the ratio of noninterest expense 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 expense 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. 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 earnings release, or a reconciliation of the non-GAAP calculation of the financial measure.
