Timberland Bancorp Announces Fiscal Third Quarter 2008 Results

HOQUIAM, WA–(EMWNews – July 22, 2008) – Timberland Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSBK)

(“Timberland”), the holding company for Timberland Bank (“Bank”), today

reported core operating earnings of $2.05 million, or $0.31 per diluted

share for the fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2008, exclusive of the

previously announced non-recurring impairment charge of $2.82 million

($2.59 million after tax) resulting from the withdrawal of its investment

in the AMF family of mutual funds. The non-recurring impairment charge of

$0.39 per diluted share resulted in a net loss of $0.08 per diluted shares

for the fiscal third quarter. In the fiscal second quarter ended March 31,

2008, Timberland earned $1.59 million, or $0.24 per diluted share and in

the quarter ended June 30, 2007, it earned $2.14 million, or $0.31 per

diluted share. Timberland’s non-performing assets to total assets ratio

was 1.55% at June 30, 2008. All per share data has been adjusted to

reflect the two-for-one stock split in the form of a 100% stock dividend

paid on June 5, 2007.

Fiscal Third Quarter 2008 Highlights: (quarter ended June 30, 2008

compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2007)


--  Core earnings per diluted share were $0.31.

--  Capital levels remain strong with an 11.3% equity-to-assets ratio

    and a 10.3% tangible-equity-to-assets ratio.

--  Non-interest income (exclusive of the non-recurring impairment charge)

    increased 29%.

--  Quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share announced on July 8, 2008.

    This represents the 42nd consecutive quarter that Timberland will have

    paid a cash dividend.

--  The loan portfolio increased 12% to $557 million from $497 million.

--  Total assets increased 6% to $664 million from $624 million.

--  Timberland consistently earns top honors for strong performance and

    financial stability.

    --  In April 2008, SNL Financial, a leading bank research firm,

        released their 2007 performance ratings of the nation's 100 largest

        thrifts.  Timberland Bancorp, Inc. ranked seventh overall in

        the nation.

    --  Timberland Bank also earned a five-star "Superior" rating from

        Bauer Financial.

“Operationally our third quarter performance reflects the underlying

strength of our franchise,” said Michael R. Sand, President and Chief

Executive Officer.

Operating Results

Fiscal third quarter revenue (net interest income before provision for loan

losses plus non-interest income), excluding the non-recurring impairment

charge, increased 3% to $8.4 million compared with $8.2 million in the like

quarter one year ago. Solid growth in fee income more than offset

marginally lower net interest income. Net interest income before the

provision for loan losses decreased 2% to $6.5 million from $6.7 million

compared to the like quarter one year ago with interest and dividend income

decreasing 4% and interest expense decreasing 7%. Fiscal year to date core

operating revenue increased 5% to $25.1 million from $23.8 million in the

first nine months one year ago with net interest income up 3% and

non-interest income increasing 13%. During this challenging interest rate

environment, Timberland’s net interest margin remained solid at 4.23%, a

reduction of 21 basis points from the 4.44% reported for the quarter ended

March 31, 2008. The 25 basis point interest rate cut by the Federal

Reserve at the end of April 2008 combined with a full quarter’s impact from

the 200 basis points in cuts during the quarter ended March 31, 2008

compressed margins during the current quarter. The reversal of interest on

loans placed on non-accrual status during the quarter accounted for eight

basis points of the 21 basis point decrease in the net interest margin.

The Company’s net interest margin was 4.67% for the same quarter one year

ago. Year to date, Timberland’s net interest margin was 4.42% compared to

4.72% one year ago.

In the third fiscal quarter Timberland made a provision of $500,000 to its

allowance for loan losses. This represented a decrease of $200,000 from

the provision made in the quarter immediately prior and an increase of

$240,000 as compared to the like quarter in the prior fiscal year. Net

charge-offs for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 totaled $121,000.

Timberland’s Safety and Soundness Regulatory examination was conducted and

concluded in mid May. Timberland’s annual independent third party loan

review was also conducted and concluded in May.

During the quarter Timberland recognized a non-recurring impairment charge

of $2.82 million on its investment in the AMF family of mutual funds. Due

to a continuing decline in the net asset value (“NAV”) of the funds

primarily as a result of uncertainty in spreads in the bond market for

mortgage-related securities and downgrades to a small percentage of the

underlying securities, Timberland determined that the funds should be

classified as “other than temporarily impaired.” “Subsequently, we elected

to redeem our $29.1 million mutual fund investment and received both cash

and the underlying securities from the redemption,” said Sand. Only

$317,000 were cash charges and the remaining $2.5 million were non-cash

charges to income. It is currently anticipated that a portion of the

non-cash charge will be partially offset in each subsequent quarter as

principal payments are made to the underlying securities. The redemption

of the mutual funds resulted in a capital loss which can only be deducted

for tax purposes to the extent that capital gains are realized within a

three year carry back period and a five year carry forward period.

Timberland has estimated that it will have $679,000 in capital gains during

the allowable tax period to offset the capital loss. The after tax impact

of the non-recurring impairment charge is $2.59 million, or $0.39 per

diluted share.

Non-interest income (excluding the non-recurring impairment charge)

increased 29% to $1.93 million for the third quarter from $1.50 million for

the third quarter of fiscal 2007, primarily due to increased service

charges on deposits and increased income from loan sales (gain on sale of

loans and servicing income on loans sold). “Our operating income continues

to build as we introduce new products and services to our customers. The

success of the automated overdraft decisioning system implemented during

the quarter increased fee income,” said Sand. The increased income from

loan sales was primarily a result of an increase in the dollar value of

residential mortgage loans sold in the secondary market during the quarter.

The sale of fixed rate one-to-four family mortgage loans totaled $16.0

million for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to $7.8 million for

the same period one year prior.

Timberland’s total operating (non-interest) expenses increased by $158,000

to $4.92 million for the third quarter from $4.76 million for the third

quarter of fiscal 2007 primarily due to a $60,000 increase in salaries and

employee benefits expense, a $49,000 increase in deposit related expenses,

a $38,000 increase in advertising expenses and smaller increases in several

other categories. The increased salary and benefit expense was primarily

the result of annual salary adjustments (effective October 1, 2007). The

increased deposit related expenses were primarily a result of expenses

associated with several new deposit related programs. The increased

advertising expenses were primarily attributable to marketing costs

designed to gather new deposits. Partially offsetting these increased

expenses was a $38,000 decrease in premises and equipment expense as

compared to the like quarter one year ago. The decrease in premises and

equipment expense was primarily due to the sale of a building that

previously served as a branch facility. The gain on the sale of the

building resulted in a $123,000 decrease to premises and equipment expenses

during the quarter. Timberland’s efficiency ratio (exclusive of the

non-recurring impairment charge) was 58.36% for the quarter ended June 30,

2008 compared to 58.35% for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

Asset Quality

The non-performing assets (“NPAs”) to total assets ratio was 1.55% at June

30, 2008, with $121,000 in net charge-offs during the quarter. The

allowance for loan losses totaled $7.1 million at June 30, 2008, or 1.26%

of loans receivable and 75% of non-performing loans. The allowance for

loan losses was $6.7 million, or 1.21% of loans receivable and $4.5

million, or 0.90% of loans receivable at March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2007,

respectively.

Non-performing loans increased by $3.0 million during the quarter to $9.4

million at June 30, 2008, and were comprised of 31 loans including 16

single family speculative loans totaling $5.6 million (of which the largest

has a balance of $522,000), a $1.8 million participation interest in a land

development loan located in Clark County, eight land loans totaling

$933,000, one commercial real estate loan for $717,000, three home equity

consumer loans totaling $233,000, one single family home loan for $101,000

and one commercial business loan for $14,000. These non-performing loans

represent 13 credit relationships. The increase in non-performing loans as

compared to the quarter immediately prior was attributable to seven credit

relationships which are discussed below.


1.   The largest of these seven relationships is with a long-time builder

     of Timberland's that has five single family speculative loans, four

     land loans each zoned for the construction of one single family

     dwelling and one home equity loan outstanding for an aggregate

     total of $2.57 million.  The collateral for all these loans except

     the home equity loan is located in rural Thurston County.

2.   Another builder has two loans totaling $605,000 that are secured by

     single family speculative homes in Pierce County.

3.   A commercial real estate loan of $717,000 is secured by a medical

     office building in Kitsap County.  The assessed value of the

     collateral is $1.02 million and the property is currently listed

     for sale at $1.24 million.

4.   A loan of $101,000 is well secured by a house with an assessed value

     of $166,000.  The collateral is located in Kitsap County.

5.   A loan of $78,000 is partially secured by a building lot. The borrower

     is an owner builder that is involved in personal litigation which has

     prevented him from building on the lot.  The collateral is located in

     Grays Harbor County.

6.   A loan of $31,000 is secured by a residential building lot in Grays

     Harbor County with an assessed value of $50,000.

7.   A $14,000 loan is secured by a lift truck.

Loans with an aggregate balance of $173,000 that were non-performing at the

end of the prior quarter were brought current during the quarter ended June

30, 2008 and one loan was transferred to other real estate owned (“OREO”).

OREO increased to $879,000 at June 30, 2008 and consisted of one

single-family residence in Pierce County.

Balance Sheet Management

Total assets increased 6% on an annualized basis during the quarter to

$663.8 million at June 30, 2008, and increased 6% from $624.1 million one

year ago primarily due to loan portfolio growth.

Net loans receivable increased 12% year-over-year to $556.7 million at June

30, 2008, from $497.3 million one year ago. During the quarter the loan

portfolio increased by $8.8 million as commercial real estate loans

increased by $4.7 million, commercial business loans increased by $3.1

million, construction and land development loans (net of the undisbursed

portion) increased by $2.8 million and land loans increased by $1.3

million. These increases were partially offset by a $2.3 million decrease

in one-to four-family mortgage loans and a $467,000 decrease in

multi-family mortgage loans. The Bank’s speculative construction portfolio

decreased by 13% from the prior quarter.

Loan originations increased 36% to $80.1 million for the quarter ended June

30, 2008 from $59.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 and from

$66.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The Bank participated

out $14.5 million of its loan production during the quarter and continues

to sell fixed rate one-to four-family mortgage loans into the secondary

market for asset-liability management purposes. During the quarter ended

June 30, 2008, fixed rate one-to four-family mortgage loan sales totaled

$16.0 million.

Timberland’s investment securities decreased by $9.4 million during the

quarter to $33.5 million at June 30, 2008 from $42.9 million at March 31,

2008 primarily due to the redemption of mutual funds held with the AMF

family of mutual funds. During the quarter Timberland redeemed $29.1

million in mutual funds and received $22.2 million in underlying securities

and $6.9 million in cash. The investment securities balance also

decreased during the quarter as a result of regular amortization and

prepayments on mortgage-backed securities.

Total deposits increased $10.1 million to $479.9 million at June 30, 2008

from $469.8 million at March 31, 2008 primarily due to a $10.9 million

increase in brokered deposit accounts, a $2.1 million increase in N.O.W.

checking accounts, a $1.4 million increase in savings accounts, an $838,000

increase in money market accounts and a $633,000 increase in non-interest

bearing accounts. These increases were partially offset by a $5.8 million

decrease in certificates of deposit accounts. Brokered deposits remain a

very limited portion of the Bank’s funding sources.

Total shareholders’ equity decreased $67,000 to $74.78 million at June 30,

2008 from $74.84 million at March 31, 2008. The reduction in shareholders’

equity was primarily due to cash dividends of $758,000 paid to shareholders

and a net loss of $546,000 resulting from the non-recurring impairment

charge noted above. These reductions to shareholders’ equity were

partially offset by a $991,000 decrease to the accumulated other

comprehensive loss category. A significant portion ($976,000) of the

non-recurring impairment charge on the mutual funds reflected in the

current quarter’s income statement had previously been accounted for as a

reduction to shareholders’ equity. This reduction was reflected in the

accumulated other comprehensive loss line item in the balance sheet.

Timberland did not repurchase any shares during the quarter. Timberland

remains well capitalized with tier 1 risk based capital of 12.1%, equity to

assets of 11.3% and tangible equity to assets of 10.3%.
