Wednesday January 14, 2015
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Washington Federal Announces
Quarterly Earnings of $0.39 cents per diluted share


SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - Washington Federal, Inc. (Nasdaq: WAFD), parent company of Washington Federal, today announced earnings of $38,407,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared to $40,236,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of 4.6%. Earnings per fully diluted share of $0.39 were equal to the same period one year ago. The quarter produced a return on average assets of 1.05% and a return on average equity of 7.84%.
Chairman, President & CEO Roy M. Whitehead commented, Operating results were slightly improved over one year ago, prior to accounting for unusual items. Low interest rates, modest economic growth and overcapacity in the financial services industry combine to make smart growth a challenge right now. The Company is well-positioned though to grow within market limitations, yet still continue to distribute all or most earnings to shareholders through cash dividends and share repurchases as a means to steadily improve the value of their investment.
Loans receivable during the quarter grew by $106 million or 1.3% to $8.3 billion as of December 31, 2014. Loan originations for the quarter totaled $579 million, a $78 million or 15.7% increase over the same quarter of the prior year. The weighted average interest rate on loans as of December 31, 2014 was 4.69%, a decrease from 4.92% as of the prior year due to the continued low interest rate environment. Actual yield earned on loans will be greater than the weighted average rate due to net deferred loan fees and discounts on acquired loans, which are accreted into income over the term of the loans.

1




Total assets decreased by $261 million or 1.8% to $14.5 billion at December 31, 2014 from $14.8 billion at September 30, 2014. Available for sale investments decreased $154 million or 5.1% compared to September 2014, and held to maturity investments decreased by $32 million or 2.1%. To assist in funding the growth of employee benefit costs, the Company purchased $100 million in bank-owned life insurance, with a pro forma 2015 pre-tax equivalent yield of 5.14%. This investment is included in other assets on the balance sheet. During the quarter, the Company had an average balance of cash and cash equivalents of $570 million invested overnight at a yield of approximately 0.25%.
Customer deposits of $10.6 billion decreased $138 million or 1.3% compared to September 30, 2014. Specifically, transaction accounts decreased by $26 million or 0.5% and time deposits decreased by $112 million or 2.1%. Transaction accounts have increased significantly from prior years to 52% of total deposits. The Company is focused on growing transaction accounts to lessen sensitivity to rising interest rates. The deposits acquired during fiscal 2014 were beneficial to this transition.
Total non-performing assets, including real estate owned as a result of foreclosure (REO), amounted to $164 million or 1.13% of total assets at quarter-end, a $34 million or 17.0% decrease from December 31, 2013. Non-performing loans decreased from $115 million at December 31, 2013 to $98 million as of December 31, 2014, a 14.3% decrease. Net loan recoveries decreased from $6 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2013 to a net recovery of $1 million in the most recent quarter. Total loan delinquencies were 1.47% as of December 31, 2014, a decrease from 1.81% at December 31, 2013. Delinquencies on single family mortgage loans, the largest component of the loan portfolio, declined during the year to 1.55% from 2.11% at December 31, 2013. REO balances increased during the quarter by $6.9 million, including upward net market value adjustments from prior period corrections of $8.2 million which are partially offset by a net decline in balances due to current period activities.
Net interest income for the quarter was $102 million, a $4 million or 3.9% increase from the quarter ended December 31, 2013. Net interest income improved as a result of increased assets associated with the deposit acquisitions during 2014. Net interest margin was 3.01% for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, up from 3.00% for the prior quarter and down from 3.12% for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. The margin declined primarily as a result of lower

2




yields on loans. Average earning assets increased $991 million or 7.9% compared to the same quarter of the prior year.
Deposit fee income of $6.0 million is $4.3 million higher compared to the same quarter of the prior year due primarily to the higher number of transaction accounts from the branch acquisitions. Loan fee income of $2.0 million is similar to a year ago.
Other Income of $2.0 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2013 declined to a $2.7 million loss for the recent quarter, including four unusual items. The net write-up of REO mentioned above of $8.2 million is a correction from prior periods. Management also corrected an over-accrual of interest income on loans of $8.9 million that had accumulated since fiscal 2011 and was recently detected. Management believes that these errors and their corrections were not material to any reporting period. Other income for the quarter also included a prepayment charge of $2.6 million on a $100 million Federal Home Loan Bank advance that was accruing interest at 4% and scheduled to mature in September 2015. The prepayment charge will be offset by a corresponding reduction in interest expense over the remaining nine months of the fiscal year. Management also recorded $2 million of additional write-down of the FDIC indemnification asset related to the commercial loans acquired from Horizon Bank in 2010. At inception of the FDIC loss share agreement, this intangible asset was established as an estimate of $240 million, representing expected payments from the FDIC for its portion of the loan losses over the life of the agreement. The portion of the agreement related to commercial loans expires on March 31, 2015.
Total operating expenses increased by $9.5 million or 21.5% as compared to the same quarter of the prior year, driven primarily by an increase in employees as well as occupancy, product delivery and technology expenses related to the branch acquisitions from Bank of America during the 2014 fiscal year. Technology expenses are also higher in preparation for an upgrade of core systems in 2015. FDIC insurance premiums are lower by $1.7 million this quarter due to recoveries from prior periods that reflect improvements in credit quality. FDIC insurance premiums were $2.3 million in the quarter, prior to this recovery.
The Companys efficiency ratio of 49.8% for the quarter remains among the best in the industry.

3




The reversal of the provision for loan losses increased from $4.6 million to $5.5 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively, for two reasons: 1) the continuing improvement in the asset quality indicators previously mentioned, and 2) a scheduled refreshment of historical loss factors used in the loan loss estimate. The Company updates its loan loss model annually in December, by replacing the oldest annual loan loss data used in the estimate with loan loss results from the most recent fiscal year. Fiscal 2014 loan losses were significantly improved over the period that was dropped from the model.
Net gain on real estate acquired through foreclosure was less than $1 million as compared to a $2 million loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. The Company expects the amount of gain or loss on real estate acquired to continue to fluctuate in future quarters based primarily on the timing of sales and the amount, if any, of gains or losses related to those sales. Net gain or loss on real estate acquired through foreclosure includes gains and losses on sales, ongoing maintenance expenses and any recent valuation adjustments.
On October 17, 2014, the Company paid a cash dividend of 14.67 cents per share to common stockholders of record on October 3, 2014. This cash dividend included a 3.67 cent one-time payment, representing an additional one months dividend income to compensate for a change in the dividend payment schedule. Beginning in 2015, the Board of Directors will consider regular dividend declarations in January, April, July, and October, one month later than in the past. During the quarter, the Company repurchased 1,116,147 shares of stock at a weighted average price of $21.79 and has board authorization to repurchase an additional 4.0 million shares. The ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets was 11.83% as of December 31, 2014.
Washington Federal, a national bank with headquarters in Seattle, Washington, has 247 branches in eight western states.
On January 21, 2015, Washington Federal, Inc. will hold its Annual Meeting of Stockholders at Benaroya Hall in Seattle, at 2:00 p.m., Pacific Time.
