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 and year ended December 31, 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.”

“Our financial results have been adversely impacted by the historically significant increase in short-term interest rates by the Federal Reserve during 2022,” said Mark K. Mason, HomeStreet’s Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer. “This dramatic increase in rates last year resulted in significant reductions in loan demand, particularly in single family mortgage. Accordingly, our loan volume and gain on loan sales activities declined significantly from 2021 levels. Additionally, our interest sensitive deposits declined as customers moved funds to higher yielding products both at our Bank and at other banks and brokerage firms. Attractive rates on Treasury securities and non-bank money market funds have also created meaningful competition. During the last six months we have taken a number of steps to reduce the pressure on our funding base, including: (i) significantly reducing our level of loan originations; (ii) introducing promotional priced deposit products which allow us to attract and retain deposits without repricing our existing interest-bearing deposit base; and (iii) entering into $1 billion of fixed-rate Federal Home Loan Bank advances in the fourth quarter. We extended the maturities of $1 billion of FHLB advances to hedge the still unknown risk associated with increasing interest rates and an unknown terminal Federal Funds rate. These pressures on our funding base have resulted in reductions in our net interest margin which are expected to continue but trough in the first quarter of 2023. We expect this to be the low point in our net interest margin assuming short-term interest rates stabilize in the first quarter and we complete our acquisition of three California branches in the first quarter. In addition to the above, we have taken steps to reduce staff levels in line with our reduced loan production activity and reduce controllable expenses to the extent possible without damaging our business. In this regard, full time equivalent employees ended the year at 913, down from 970 at the beginning of the year. Despite the above challenges, we believe we are positioned to resume growing our balance sheet and increasing our earnings once short-term rates stabilize and uncertainty is removed from the interest rate markets."

"In the fourth quarter we recorded a $3.8 million addition to our allowance for credit losses (ACL). This addition primarily relates to loan portfolio growth and additions to the qualitative component of our ACL related to the collateral, or market value of single-family homes which are projected to decline in the future," continued Mr. Mason. "Charge offs in the quarter were $0.3 million and nonperforming assets fell to 0.13% of total assets. Credit quality remains strong and we currently do not see any meaningful credit challenges on the horizon.”

Financial Position

 

Fourth quarter 2022 compared to third quarter 2022

  • Loan portfolio originations: $612 million compared to $914 million
  • Loans held for investment increased by $209 million in the fourth quarter
  • Total deposits increased by $842 million or 13%
  • Period ending cost of deposits: 1.61% compared to 0.71%
  • Tangible book value per share: $28.41 compared to $27.92

 

 

2022 Activity

  • Loan portfolio originations: $3.6 billion
  • Loans held for investment increased by $1.9 billion in 2022
  • Total deposits increased $1.3 billion or 21.2%

“In response to the funding challenges created by the rising interest rate environment, we significantly reduced our multifamily portfolio loan and single family loans held for sale origination activities in the second half of last year, and we expect to have minimal levels of multifamily portfolio loan originations through the first half of 2023,” added Mr. Mason. “While we were successful in attracting over $1.4 billion in our promotional deposit products, we continued to see runoff in our core deposits in the fourth quarter. With anticipated increases in short term interest rates during the first half of 2023, we expect to continue to utilize promotional deposit products to offset any additional runoff in our core deposits and to replace a portion of our brokered deposits.”

Other

 

  • Declared and paid a cash dividend of $0.35 per share in the fourth quarter
  • Purchase of deposits and three retail branches in southern California is scheduled to close in the first quarter of 2023

 

Mr. Mason concluded, “We are excited about closing our acquisition of deposits from Union Bank in the first quarter. The employees at these branches have been great to work with and we will benefit from the addition of over $450 million of low cost core deposits to our funding base."

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; and (ii) 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 press release, or a reconciliation of the non-GAAP calculation of the financial measure.
